This Boundary Will Not Bind Us: Night Gem

 Great characters


My review


It took a while to read the book, due to the lenght of the story but it was
really worth to take the time for reading.

A key role in this story is for the great characters. I got the idea I really
knew them and that was very nice!

So don't be put off by the beginning and the length of the book, but 
continue reading and you'll discover a wonderful story. The author did
a fantastic job.

Of course for Night Gem, I give a 5 star rating and I hope to read more
books like this.





The Book


Format: 787 pages
Published: February 21, 2022
Language: English
Available: Amazon


The Author

Music was Erica’s first language; a mirror reflecting her soul.
As the rhythm unfolds, it unravels her heart and unleashes her dreams.
Sadly, Erica lost her singing voice to a tragic illness. Exiled from her
passion, she was left craving catharsis. Song after song, story after
story, photo after photo, visions of Erosia came to life. It became
clear that Erica is more than a musician. She is a vessel through
which passion emerges. Through her whisper, she led her band,
Erosian Exile – but as her vocal cords deteriorated, writing became
her new voice. Her fantasy series, Night Gem, reveals the origins of Erosia.

Bookreview: Master & Marquis

"What a beautiful love story!"


Summary

Declan Dalton, the Marquis of Barrington, fell in love with Lady Elisa
Remington when they were childhood companions running over the 
countryside.

He traveled to the continent, fought for his country, managed his estates,
and tried, in vain to stay as far away from her as possible. Because Elisa
is worthy so much more than a man like him, a man with dark, hidden,
dangerous desires, a man with a secret room in his noble estate....

But when a war injury sends him home a decorated hero, Declan cannot
keep his distance from Lady Elisa. He offers for her hand, intent on
protecting her from the erotic passions surging within him - passions far
more potent when she's near. 




My review

I read the second book of the series before without having read the first one,
 but I like the love story, so I'm going to read the first book too. 

However this book really has very strong characters and a well out- spitted
plot, which I enjoyed. It took place in the 19th. century, so it was absolutely
a splendid historical romance. 

I would say: don't doubt and read it! I like to give a 4* rating for this 
amazing historical romance. 



The Author

Tides of Desire by Tracy Summer

 A forbidden love that started with a Christmas kiss.


*Friends to lovers
*Forbidden love
*STEAMY holiday romance
*Beach read (Outer Banks, NC 1898)

A female doctor and a shipbuilder find friends-to-lovers, small-town love in the final standalone steamy novella in the Garrett Brothers trilogy!

Spirited physician Macy Dallas is fervently committed to medicine, but a troubled past has kept her from committing to love. She’s never experienced ardent yearning for a man until she kisses Caleb Garrett…and her awakening passion is impossible to resist.

A gifted boatbuilder who is dedicated only to the sea, Caleb doesn’t believe in the power of love. A wretched childhood has governed his life until he doesn’t believe he has anything to offer. A beguiling puzzle, Macy challenges his fears, and he considers giving in to their explosive passion. Even though he knows he’s not the man she deserves.

As they match wits in a tempestuous dance, their fortifications begin to crumble, revealing not only a fiery attraction but a deepening love. Soon, what should have been a simple seduction becomes deliciously complicated…as they must open their hearts or lose the one person they are desperate to possess.

Like steamy historical romance? Friends to lovers? Small-town settings? Doctor heroines? Shipbuilding, alpha heroes? Tides of Desire is the novel for you!


Review


I must admit I really enjoy reading great love stories, and this was certainly an excellent one! 

Although Tides of Desire by Tracy Summer is shorter than the other books of the series it has
the same ingredients: a wonderful location, setting, time and above all: excellent and strong characters.

After all 'Tides of Desire' written by Tracy Summer is a splendid love story to read during the Christmas Holidays.

Op de vlucht van Nora Roberts

Een boek waarin spanning en liefde mooi met elkaar verweven zijn  


Omschrijving


Al wordt een ontvoerde tiener weer teruggevonden, haar beproeving is nog lang niet voorbij



Caitlyn Sullivan, een dochter van Hollywoodberoemdheden, is op haar tiende al een ster, en nog steeds gek op verstoppertje spelen met haar nichtjes in het grote familiehuis in Big Sur. Het is tijdens een van die spelletjes dat Cate verdwijnt. Ze blijkt te zijn ontvoerd, maar ze is een slimme overlever, en ze slaagt erin te ontsnappen. Tiener Callan Cooper is geschokt als hij het bont en blauwe, doodsbange meisje vindt, in elkaar gedoken in een uithoek van de ranch waarop hij woont. Als hij en zijn familie haar verhaal horen, bieden ze haar bescherming en onderdak en regelen ze de hereniging met haar dierbaren.


Maar Cates beproevingen zijn nog niet voorbij: ze ontdekt het verraad van iemand die ze vertrouwde. Ze vertrekt naar Ierland, waar ze weliswaar veilig is, maar waar ze toch door rusteloosheid wordt geplaagd. Uiteindelijk keert ze terug naar Los Angeles, in de hoop af te kunnen rekenen met het trauma dat haar leven heeft bepaald. Wat ze nog niet weet is dat er lang geleden twee zaadjes zijn geplant: een van liefde en een van wraak.

Tides of Love by Tracy Sumner

A true love story 


Tides of Love

(Seaswept Seduction Series #1)

by 
Tracy Sumner (Goodreads Author)
 3.64  ·   Rating details ·  421 ratings  ·  64 reviews
A provocative novel that will leave you breathless as it explores the heartaches and triumphs of love. Can a woman's love really stand the test of time?

He left all he loved behind...

Will he be able to return and win her heart?

An earth-shattering secret revealed in his recently deceased mother's diary causes harsh words between Noah Garrett and his brother. Desolate and totally bewildered, Noah leaves Pilot Isle and has no contact with his family or even Elle Beaumont, the girl who has been his shadow all through childhood.

Now, ten years later, Noah is a renowned biologist and returns to Pilot Isle to head up a research lab. Coming back home opens up old wounds and uncovers buried feelings. Hoping to have a few days to cope with all the old emotions welling up within him, Noah really isn't ready to face anyone yet. However, it's just his luck that the first person he literally bumps into is Elle. The only difference is, Elle is no longer a thin red-headed mischievous imp who is constantly in trouble and always needing to be rescued. This Elle is a gorgeous, passionate young woman who sets Noah's blood on fire.

Marielle Claire Beaumont has loved Noah since she was a child. As a sad little girl who'd recently lost her mother and couldn't speak English, Elle met Noah when he saved her from taunts at school. Ever since then Elle has loved Noah unconditionally and followed him around like a little puppy. Her world was shattered when he left so suddenly. His silence all these years has been very difficult, and Elle is stunned when she slams into him so unexpectedly. It's not long before she's disrupting Noah's life again as sparks of passion fly in every direction between the two.
