About Book

TWO DIFFERENT CLASSES, ONE COMMON DESIRE... Lady Bernadette Marie Burton  may be the richest widow in England, but like her dreams of finding true passion, her reputation is deteriorating. Cruel gossip, loneliness and hoards of opportunistic suitors have her believing Society couldn't be more vile...or dangerous. So when an attacker threatens her life, she finds safety in the most unseemly of places: the arms of a mysterious, Irish-American gang leader. His fortune stolen, young  Matthew Milton is done playing the respectable gentleman. In the slums of New York, only ruffians thrive. But from the moment he arrives in London and encounters the voluptuous Lady Bernadette, he can't help but wonder about the finer pleasures he's missing. Or just how much he's willing to risk-not only to bed her, but to prove his worth...

Our Thoughts

Delilah is a new author for me and I have been enjoying her Rumor Series.I really have enjoyed all the characters that I have read about its a great cast.Its important to like the characters and found them like-able and engaging .


The two main characters Matthew and Bernadette have a great chemistry from there first meeting in the park.Sparks fly with just one look and good conversation.Bernadette's attraction to Matthew is a deadly one and she knows that he is a dangerous man to attach herself to but, she can't seem to help herself.Matthew feels the same way right off the bat he feels that he has met the women of his dreams.From there very first sexual encounter he becomes controlling and protective.

The couples relationship is doomed from the onset.What does he have to offer a lady of her station.He is basically living in the slums of New York City.But,Matthew will surprise you he is not what he seems.He was once a man of wealth and plans to be one again to win Bernadette's heart.

I always have one favorite character and Matthew is mine.He is just and all around great guy who loves children and he protects those with his life that live under his protection.He is talk dark and dangerous and would kill and the blink of a eye to protect someone in need but, he has a soft and compassionate side as well.Michael first to protect the people who can't protect themselves not only that teaches them a better way of life .Who wouldn't want to fall in love with a guy like that?

This was a cute romance read.I found the book to be a page turner not the seat of your pants kind but a fast paced read.The books sexual encounters we brief and endearing so if you only like a book with a little bit of sex this is the read for you.Bernadette was a pleasure to read about she is a women of means but, she surprises us throughout the whole book with her kind heart and understanding.Being in a loveless marriage herself she is a bit shy of marriage now and only wants to live in the moment but, one tall dark and handsome man plans to change her mind as he has a happily ever after in mind for them.

The books has a few twists and turns and a rocky courtship at first but once the tide turns love blossoms and we see that some good can come for the bad.An endearing story about Matthew trying to regain and life he once loss and finding his soul mate to share his new life with.The books a keeper!

Look forward to reading more of The rumor series and I have an I have enjoyed them all.

Book Description:

Sometimes being happily married and completely content is not at all what it seems.

That is what 35 year old, happily married mother of two, Alexis Summers finds out when decides it is time to return to work. After being a stay-at-home Mum for the past nine years, Alexis now realises a complete career change is just what she needs.

She becomes a Concierge Attendant in a prestigious hotel in Melbourne working for the owner of the hotel, Bryce Clark. He resides in the penthouse, is extremely hot and is a man who always gets what he wants—and what he wants is Alexis.  She does a relatively good job resisting Bryce at first, but the undeniable chemistry, sexual tension and playfulness between the two of them is intense.   He has copious amounts of money, sex appeal and above all, is a genuinely nice guy. Bryce has been waiting for his one true love to come along and he is positive that one true love is Alexis.

There is one problem; she is happily married to Rick, and no matter how strong her feelings are for Bryce, she is adamant she will not cheat. She draws a line in the sand but finds it increasingly hard not to cross. Will she succumb to Temptation?

Excerpt 2

I was speechless and utterly craving what he had just declared. He was smirking at me, which I would normally find completely irritating but also endearing. This time, however, his smirk made me mad and more to the point, extremely pissed off. I placed both my hands on his chest and shoved him. He stumbled back and nearly fell on his arse.

“You can’t just say that and smirk at me, Bryce. What am I supposed to do with that confession? What do you want me to do?” I stepped off the ladder and stomped like a child to the elevator door. He followed and stood with his back against the wall facing me. He had his hands in his trouser pockets and remained quite casual and relaxed.

“I know you feel it, Alexis. You want me between your legs just as badly as I want to be there.”

“Bryce, stop it! You are so far out of line it’s not funny.”

He started to laugh, so I turned to face him. Is he for real? He is so infuriating—yet adorable—yet maddening—yet delectable. Oh my god, he is turning me into a freaking yo-yo. I slapped him across the face. He rubbed his cheek and smiled at me impressively. I tried to keep my furious expression, but I was very slowly losing the battle with the muscles in my face. He laughed again and I followed suit.

“I hate you right now.” I was beyond being polite and stepping on eggshells where our employer/employee relationship was concerned. He had overstepped that mark well and truly.

“No, you don’t.”

“Yes, I do.” It dawned on me suddenly, that the elevator was not moving. “Bryce, I need to go home before I punch you. Press the bloody button.” He laughed, but this time he was mocking me. “Oh, you don’t think I can punch you?” I shot him a challenging look; he shook his head. “Go on, kiss me again, I dare you.”

He was on me like a flash, pushing me hard up against the wall. He ravaged my mouth with his own, sending pure intense passion through his tongue onto mine. I aggressively ran my hands through his hair as he lifted me up, allowing me to wrap my legs around his waist. No, No, No! Stop it, Alexis. What did you say that for, and where is this punch you so boldly threatened him with? I released my legs and punched him in the arm. I tried to get in a second blow, but he caught my fist and brought my arm down, spinning me around and causing me to be cross-armed across my chest and perfectly secured to his abdomen. He held me there for a few seconds then whispered softly into my ear, his breath hot and paralysing.

“You gave me permission, Alexis. You can’t then attack me, not that I’d call that an attack. In fact, you need a lot of instruction on attack and self-defence. So, on Monday morning you are coming to my self-defence class. Wear some clothes you don’t mind working up a sweat in.”

“Let me go, I need to go home to my husband.” I hissed at him. He released me and hit the button to his apartment. The doors opened and I stepped out. I grabbed my bag and turned to meet his face, he was leaning up against the entryway wall where we had first kissed earlier that day. It felt like that kiss had happened days ago, but I guess that was because so much had happened in such a short space of time, and I hadn’t really let it all settle in yet. Thank god the next day was Saturday, I wanted the entire weekend to recover from the head fuck that the day had been.

I began to talk, but he cut me off. “I can’t help myself, Alexis. You...you are like no one I have ever met, and I want you.”

“You can’t have me Bryce, I’m taken.”

He stared deep into my eyes. “I don’t believe anything is absolute. Things change, people change.Circumstances change.”

Blurb-

On the outside, Liberty Davis appeared to have it all…a loving family, a tight knit circle of friends, and a bright future ahead of her. Everything was perfect. That is until her brother tragically took his own life, turning her whole world upside down.

Left to pick up the pieces of her broken family, Liberty is faced with focusing all of her attention on helping her parents cope with the loss of their son, while putting her own life on the back burner. But what no one seems to realize is that she is just as broken inside.

Now, four years later, twenty year old Liberty is taking back the reins of her life. She leaves behind everything she’s ever known, hoping to make a fresh start…one where she isn’t faced with the constant reminder that her brother is nothing more than faded memory. What she didn’t expect to find along the way was Shayne.

Tall, dark and tattooed, Shayne Thompson has developed quite a reputation for being a player. Despite everyone’s negative perception, Liberty still finds herself drawn to him. When she learns that Shayne knows all too well what it feels like to lose someone you love, she finds that they have a lot more in common than just a physical attraction.

When Liberty discovers a secret from Shayne’s past that threatens to tear them apart, she begins to question everything she’s ever felt for him. Will Liberty choose to follow her heart or will she give up the one person who finally made her feel whole again?

**This story contains language and sexual scenes, some of which may be unsuitable for younger readers.**

About the Author-

Maureen Mayer was born, raised and currently resides in Buffalo, NY with her loving and supportive family and boyfriend of 8+ years. She’s always had a love for the outdoors, and when the city isn’t buried under snow, she can be found hiking, fishing, camping or lying on the beach. She’s a sucker for off-color humor, but holds a sweet spot for sick and twisted horror films.

Thanks to authors like J. K. Rawling, Stephanie Meyer and E. L. James, Maureen has rediscovered her love for reading. When she’s not writing, you can find her curled up in bed with her kindle, diving into a steamy romance novel. She is currently working on her first new adult novel and hopes to self-publish it late this summer.
