Product Description
The Legend Hunters . . .

The Men of Solomon's meet in secret, their very existence only a rumor among the best of Victorian society. They are treasure hunters, men of wealth and title, seekers of myths and legends. And no legend is as mystifying as the lost city of Atlantis . . .

DESIRE ME

Years ago, Maxwell Barrett found a map to Atlantis and dedicated his life to the search for the mystical lost continent. But when an alluring woman makes a wager for the priceless artifact, he may have discovered an even greater treasure.

A descendant of Atlantis, Sabine Tobias needs the map to decipher an ancient prophecy. What she doesn't need are the sparks flying between her and Max. He's too devilishly charming to be trusted: The fate of her people is at stake as well as her heart. Yet a ruthless killer also covets the map. Now Max and Sabine must race to decode the prophecy's riddle before this criminal fulfills his deadly mission.

Review: Take a secret race with guardians protecting a special elixir, add in an Indian Jones hero and Lara Croft puzzle clues, then top with reluctant attraction. The result is a good recipe for this fun romance!

Sabine is an exotic but quiet beauty. She is determined to protect her elderly aunts and their family secrets by helping them hide in plain site. Unfortunately someone knows the secrets of Atlantis and it killing the guardians to get control of the power. Sabine has to get the ancient map to figure out the prophecy and prevent a world take over.

Sabine sets off to try to get the map from Max by seductive distraction, gambling at cards or sneaky theft. Whatever will work. Unfortunately, she has gotten Max’s interest and he is more accustomed to sneaking than she is and seems to be one step ahead of her. She doesn’t really trust him but he may be the safest bet she has after attacks threaten her Aunts in the safety of their home. Sabine and Max will face more attacks as they race around the countryside following clues from the map.

It is hard enough dodging one villain, much less two. There is an egotistical, power hungry enemy to uncover. Plus a red herring in a Cruella Deville-like female villain who is complete with inept thugs.

How long can Sabine and Max cope with the adrenaline from the adventures and the dangerous threats without also mixing in the electric attraction between them? Once they succumb (okay - you guessed they would) is it real or just the excitement of the chase? What happens when they get trapped in a closet ... or two? Yes... use your imagination! But will Max betray her by sneaking away the elixir? Can Sabine face the killer and save the world? All good questions and the best way to find out is to read this adventure. Go on - if you like riddles, escapades, and sensual loving I’m willing to bet you’ll enjoy reading this book!

It's Monday! What are you Reading June14, 2010?

This meme starts at One Person's Journey Through A World of Books!

What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

Another busy work week; not so much reviewing on backlog as we had some family visit time with the grandchildren.

I did get to visit some others blogs, including some more visits with author friends at Coffee Time Romance June Jubilee where The Sweetest Romance authors are being spotlighted this month.

Product Description
HOW CAN THIS PASSIONATE KNIGHT...
Renowned beauty Lady Linnet is torn between two desires: revenge on those who destroyed her family or marriage to her childhood sweetheart Sir James Rayburn. One fateful night, she makes a misguided choice: she sacrifices Jamie's love for a chance at vengeance.

TRUST A BEAUTY WITH A PAST?
Jamie Rayburn returns to England in search of a virtuous wife-only to find the lovely Linnet as bewitching as ever. Their reckless affair ignites anew, even hotter than before, although Jamie vows to never again trust her with his heart. Then just as Linnet begins to make amends, she's tempted by one last opportunity to settle old scores. But a final retribution could cost her Jamie's love - this time forever.

PB: Beyond the Map's Boundary: A Timely Sort of Adventure by Nibi Soto
The review is posted here. I will be posting a giveaway for this one soon.

Product Description
All Mattie Bott and Trevor Karington have ever known were unusually happy, stable lives without any hint as to who they really are. Suddenly, Mattie starts seeing into the future and witnessing historical events appearing on particles of light. Unknowingly, Mattie was born into a family of Trekkers (time travelers). In order to save Mattie from dissolving into the core of time, Trevor becomes her Splitter (time link), making it possible for her to return to the present following each Divvy (time travel) to the past. With the accidental discovery of the Rings of Prather Mendell, Trevor now shares many of her powers as her partner. Together they try to foil the plan of the Interloper (an illicit time traveler from the future), who will stop at nothing to possess the secret, supernatural abilities of the time travelers and the forbidden powers of the rings.
