My review for Vexing the Viscount by Emily Bryan
ISBN-13: 978-0-8439-6134-8
Grade: A
Daisy Drake is considered on the shelf at only 21. It was by her choice because she wants to be independent so that she can learn about anything that she wants. As a young girl she had a crush on an Italian boy a few years older than her. She liked him so much that she cut open his chin.
Lucian Ignacio de Castenello Beaumont, Viscount Rutland is that young Italian boy but all grown up. He remembers Daisy but for far different reason. A scar on his chin will never let him forget her even though he rather.
Lucian’s father, Ellery Rutland, Earl of Monford had lost nearly the entire family fortune. He is rich in title but poor in coin. Lucian has an idea that could fill the family coffers again. There is a legend of buried treasure that could help fix the estates and the homes of his tenants. Until then, his father will hold a marriage of convenience over his head. Daisy has already found buried treasure near her estate and would love to help Lucian. He of course refuses because she is, well, a she. At a masquerade dressed as a French courtesan, Daisy comes up with a great idea and asks for her aunt Isabella’s help. Now Daisy becomes Blanche La Tour, a famous French courtesan. Lucian will accept Blanch as a partner but, there is always a but, she must teach him the joys of the flesh. How can she say no?
I have been in an anti historical mood for a few weeks. Nothing looked good to me at all, which is unlike me. A few weeks ago I received Vexing the Viscount by Emily Bryan in the mail. This book was wonderful and the male role of Lucian was refreshing. He wasn’t the worldly Rake that you normally see in historical books, he was as innocent in a way as Daisy was. He wanted to take care of his tenants so much that he followed a legend that may or may not have been true. Daisy was also a breath of fresh air. A debutant she was not. She had a brain and knew how to use it. The romance between Daisy and Lucian was heartwarming and extremely sweet. They became friends first and lovers second. My anti historical mood is now over!

A blurb from Vexing the Viscount by Emily Bryan
Emily Bryan's latest book, Vexing the Viscount is due to realease March 2009. I was able to get a preview and will have a review hopefully by the end of the week.
She was nice enough to let me post a picture of Vexing the Viscount's cover. He is a cutie! She also sent me a blurb to share. For more information on Vexing the Viscount or her other books, see her website at http://www.emilybryan.com/index.htm
Blurb from Vexing the Viscount:
Daisy Drake never quite got over her girlhood fascination with Lucian Beaumont, Viscount Rutland. Now that they're all grown up, she won't rest till she helps him find the lost Roman treasure he seeks. Whether he wants her help or not!
Don't forget to watch the book trailer for Vexing the Viscount at the top of my blog!

My Review of Leather and Lace by Taylor Tryst
Ellora’s cave, Ebook, September 2007
ISNB: 9781419912511
5 out of 5
Lukas Nathanial Lace is the CEO of a multibillion-dollar corporation called Lace Inc. He was brought up to act as he should and show no emotions. Weakness was not something his father tolerated. His mother on the other hand, showed him unconditional love.
Cleo Tanek is a private investigator who used to work as a police officer for 10 years. Cleo now works as a private investigator for hire.
An envelope of cash is sent to Cleo by a courier service without a name of who hired her. She is to watch and document what Lukas does. It had been hard to uncover personal information on him since he almost lived like a hermit outside of the public eye. While at a restaurant, Lukas sees her and starts to talk to her. The heat between them is intense and hard to ignore. An afternoon of passion is all she can give him and herself. When Cleo finds out who hired her, she is devastated to find out that she may have given that person the information to kill him. That person might even be working with his own brother, Tommy. Now she has to try and convince Lukas that she really didn’t lie to him, protect him from his brother and try not to fall in love with him.
I am always looking for new authors to try and when I find one that I like, I tell all. I am used to reading about alpha males and how they are always in such control and perfect. Lukas was different and came across human in many ways. He doesn’t have that untouchable feeling to him. Cleo is a tough cookie and is a woman who doesn’t like to give control to others but she has no second thoughts with Lukas. He is able to be himself with her and she is able to lower those walls she has built around herself. The love scenes are written well and add to that special chemistry between Lukas and Cleo. They are explicit but balance well with the story line.

Also, Taylor Trysts newest release Body Candy will be available February 18, 2009 at Ellora’s Cave.
