The Fox Gayle Eden
Historical romance
Avail at Air Castle Books whttp://www.aircastlebooks.com www.evesromance.com

It is sometime during the year 1800 and Blair Mitchell finds herself in a gambling hell belonging to the elusive Fox. She has come to ask for a loan to save the family farm. Her parents having died, leaving a debt to be paid and her brother has gone to work for the mill. She sees that the mill is slowly killing him and she must find a way to pay the mortgage. She had considered turning to the world's oldest profession but as a virgin she would be placed up for auction and offered up to all types of perversions. She decided it would be easier to sell her virginity to The Fox if he was willing to give her the loan in exchange. Gabriel also known as 'The Fox,' has become bored with life. When a woman dressed as a boy comes asking for a loan he initially thinks to turn her away. He reconsiders as he listens to the story. She is not the prettiest woman but she is innocent and honest and he sees that as a novelty. When she offers herself up as his mistress in exchange for the loan, he sees a deal he just can't refuse. He is set to spend a pleasurable night in her company and send her on her way after paying her debt. Things don't go quite as he plans for hearts and emotions become involved. The Fox by Gayle Eden is an enjoyable romance with interesting characters. Gabriel lives life the only way he knows how. Life has made him very jaded. I believe that is why when Blair comes to him, he falls so quickly. Blair may be an innocent when it comes to sex but she did grow up on a farm. The chemistry between these two is totally electrifying. The passion explodes in the scenes between these two. The sex is described in exciting graphic details. The villain in our story is the person holding the mortgage. I would have like to have seen him interact a little more in the story. I think this would have added a needed sense of desperation, explaining why Blair would go so far to see the debt paid. The dialogue flows smoothly and conveys the thoughts and emotions of the characters. The historical setting is shown through means of transportation and clothing, as well as the culture of the time. The setting is made to feel real and is easily visualized through Gayle Eden's descriptive writing. My favorite thing about the book is the history of Gabriel's parents and a gift of a poem. The poem brought tears to my eyes. This was an erotic romance that offered more by adding an emotional aspect that I found truly enjoyable. I feel that readers will enjoy all that is offered in reading, The Fox by Gayle Eden. Overall rating: Sensuality rating: Explicit Reviewer: Anita July 11, 2006

THE ROAD TO ROMANCE REVIEWS ROCK MY WORLD BY GAYLE EDEN Raelyn Kendall is contacted to return home to her family’s ranch, Cougar Enterprises, to see her injured twin brother Ty, a cowboy, who recently broke both legs after a bull riding accident. Raelynn is a rock/blues singer. She feels she is a failure and has had her share of losses and disappointments. She and her brother hadn’t been home in 8 years because they had a bad relationship with their father Alan after their mother died. Raelyn is uneasy about returning home because she fears her father will throw her failure in her face. Her father Alan is old and sick now after having several strokes. Jackie Bristow, cousin and friend, has been running the family business for Uncle Alan for quite some time. Hud McKabe still works with Alan, a cowboy Raelyn has known for years who is also a close friend of Ty’s. Raelyn and Hud are drawn to each other but can’t stand to be around each other. There is a fiery passion building between the two of them.

The story of Raelyn and Hud is very erotic but takes some time to build because of all the walls surrounding Raelyn. Raelyn’s experiences with men have been disappointing so she is also afraid of a man like Hud. She doesn’t know what to expect with a real caring man. This story focuses on coming home, mending broken fences and learning to make peace with those you love, and finding your destiny in life and love. Hud helps Raelyn along the way. There is such a sense of oneness about Raelyn and Hud that it makes this story really special. I loved this story. Reviewed by Ellen Bunch for The Road to Romance May 16, 2006

http://www.aircastlebooks.com

Liana Bellingham has spent her lifetime cleaning up her father’s messes. This time it has cost her a marriage. She has been sold to a man she does not know nor does she want to know him. Not only is she enraged at her father, she is livid to learn her new husband, Raiden de Louve, is on the same ship she is on and in the middle of the ocean. When a furious storm rolls in, she finds herself stuck in the same room as him and the ship is going down. Waking to find she has been floating in the ocean, she is horrified to feel something latch onto her leg. Stuck between being relieved at not being alone and frustrated to be marooned with Raiden, she is left with emotions that she is unsure how to handle. With only the two of them around, they are given the opportunity to explore and work through emotions, confusion, and their pasts. Will there be a future for Liana and Raiden?

Gayle Eden has written a beauty of a short story that offers readers an insightful glimpse into each character’s personality and past. Raiden is a man that could have anything, yet the one that he wants does not desire him. He struggles to deal with winning her over while allowing her space to find herself. Liana must come to terms with what her father has done to her and realize that she is the only one that can ensure her happiness. The touching and rewarding passion that Raiden shows Liana leaves her breathless and emotionally overwhelmed. Raiden is a compassionate man sure to impress any reader. This story was a wonderful and delightful contemporary romance that I will recommend to others for a long time. It offers a combination of characters and romance that engross the readers and leaves them glued to their seat until the storm has run it course. Refuge from the Storm is a must for anyone looking for a heartfelt, passionate story of going after what you want and fighting for it once you get it. Gayle Eden has done a tremendous job and earned 5 Angels!

©A ROMACE REVIEW WWW.AROMANCEREVIEW.COM

Raelyn isn’t happy about going home, but she doesn’t have a choice. Her twin brother, Ty, is back home recovering from a rodeo accident and she has run out of the last of her money. She doesn’t want and hasn’t in the last couple of years the money set aside by her father. Raelyn has a big chip on her shoulder towards her father and the ranch where they grew up. She and her brother didn’t see eye to eye with their father and left as soon as they could, each going their separate ways. She always wanted to make it big in the singing industry, but a few bad choices along the way, she had never made it big. Now to her she is crawling back to the last place she ever wanted to be again, Cougar Ranch. To Raelyn, Hud McKabe her daddy’s right hand man is still like he was all those years ago. He was silent and didn’t miss much going on around him. It seems the crush that she had on him over eight years ago didn’t go away. It flares up hot and heavy when they meet again. Hud is the quiet and silent type but doesn’t miss much especially where Raelyn is concerned. It also doesn’t help the two of them that they are sharing the guesthouse, granted, it is big and has several bedrooms and enough room to avoid someone if wanted or needed too. Rock My World isn’t just about Raelyn and Hud. The question is can Raelyn learn to forgive and move forward. But it is the struggle along the way to find oneself, to discover that time can change people and that all along they might have just had your best interest at heart and didn’t want to see you struggle. Ms. Eden gave us a story full of twists, turns and bumps. The secondary characters help play a minor role of moving the story along. It also gives several of the characters a second chance at their own happiness. Now if they take the chance given to them and of course they get some help from Raelyn. The second chances are also not just for the secondary characters but also for Raelyn and Hud and maybe just making their wishes come true.

Josie Sullivan is a hard working businesswoman in the west during a time when a woman without a man is considered helpless. She does everything she can to keep the family together and provide for them. Helping two fancy greenhorn strangers may just be more trouble than it is worth.
Lord Nicolas Balfour Montague is jaded, cynical, spoiled and penniless thanks to his family. Now only Nicolas Balfour, worthless green horn; he finds that he can do nothing to suit or impress Miss Josie Sullivan. But then why should he care?
Worth the Risk by Eve Asbury will have you laughing out loud, clapping with glee and doing happy dances of joy. Nicolas Balfour is a gorgeous man in need of a purpose and love. Josie is a strong frontier woman with grit, blunt ways and lots of love for family and friends. Josie's family and friends fill the pages with warmth and wisdom. Though it often feels like these secondary characters are taking the reader on a long tangent; you discover that their trials and triumphs deepen your understanding of Nicolas and Josie and teach these two about themselves. The love scenes are sparse; but the sexual tension is thick enough to cut and server on a platter and is well maintained through out the entire book. Ms. Asbury has done a magnificent job of creating characters whose heads you can slip into and "live" their story right along with them. This is one of the most beautiful stories I have read in quite some time. Give yourself a delightful treat by spending the day with this treasure.

When Charlie Aldrich Thornton comes back into town, she knows that she will never live down the scandal her dead father caused, nor will anyone in town let her forget, especially Beau Jessup, whose father was set up by Charlie's father and imprisoned. Charlie has come back to rebuild her life after her marriage falls apart and also to be closer to her brother. But sparks are about to fly between Beau and Charlie because hidden beneath their cordial liaison is a smoldering passion that is about to come to life. But it seems that danger hides in the shadows because someone does not want them to find any happiness or a lasting relationship. Can they make their relationship work? Or will the past keep them apart forever?
One Hot Summer gives you a fantastic contemporary romance while at the same time providing those hostage to the past a way embrace their future. Charlie has been running from everything in her life since the death of her father and has finally come home to rebuild and take charge of her life. And one of the people she has to face is Beau Jessup, her childhood crush and one of the families her father destroyed in his quest for power. Charlie and Beau discover an attraction between them but when they try to put their past behind them and look to the future they find it is not going to be easy at all, especially when there are people hoping to exploit and destroy their relationship. This book made me think of courage because Charlie stood tall in the face of opposition, to take charge and make the future she wanted but she also showed that love is a powerful emotion as it overcomes adversity and criticism. I know that I cannot wait to revisit this world that Eve Asbury has created and the fantastic characters that stir not only hope but also faith, that anyone can overcome the sins of their parents to make a bright future for themselves and the ones they love.

Review
Summoned home after her brother injured in an accident Raelyn Kendall wanted to return a successful singer but over the years she has been gone nothing has gone right. Appearing tough as nails on the outside, no one could guess the emotions that swirl inside Raelyn, emotions of failure. But going home may turn out to be the best thing that has ever happened to her because the instant attraction between Hud McKabe and herself could become the thing that dreams are made of. Will Raelyn discover exactly what she wants from life before it drifts away?
A contemporary romance, Rock My World by Gayle Eden is an emotion filled story that is all heart. I enjoyed reading this book because it has everything and also delivers one intriguing story. I loved Raelyn because she dared to take on the world even after everything that happened, she still was willing to return home, as she saw it, a failure. Raelyn won my admiration because she tried to make something on her own, entirely against the wishes of her father. The romance between her and Hud was totally enjoyable, I loved their tentative but wholly enticing relationship. These two were meant to be together, they not only suited each other but also complemented one another. If there was anything I didn't like about the book was that it ended, I just wanted Rock My World to keep going but then all good things must come to an end.

Teaser A realistic novel, Refuge From the Storm is absolutely fantastic.
Review
All her life Liana Bellingham has been a pawn in her father's schemes. With money an issue, he arranged a marriage at 15 to an older man. When her husband died, her father continued to try and use her but she was successful in circumventing this, at least until now. On board a ship sailing to a new life, Liana is once again bargained by her father and married off by proxy. Not wanting anything to do with her new husband, Raiden de Louve, she refuses to acknowledge the marriage. This is hard to do as the storm they are experiencing intensifies. With the ship foundering, Liana find herself dependent on Raiden for her very life. Shipwrecked on an island is not her idea of fun but shipwrecked with Raiden? There may some merit in it, especially when she begins to feel some stirrings for the first time in her life. Is there hope for this marriage after all?

Raiden de Louve was a very intriguing hero. He had a strange background , making him even more romantic. Liana was quite believable as someone tired of being used by the men in her life. Her reluctance to accept Raiden was quite understandable. As the two fall for each other, it was beautiful to read. A realistic novel, Refuge From the Storm is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend it.

LOVES ROMANCES REVIEWS REFUGE FROM THE STORM BY GAYLE EDEN
http://www.loveromances.com/refugefromthestorm_dawn.html
When Liana finds out her father lost her to pay his gambling debts, she blows a gasket. What makes it worse she is married to the man who won her!!!! Now on her way to the tropics with her father, she encounters her new "husband" and vows to never submit to this man. Baron Raiden de Louvre wanted Liana with a passion that consumes him and if the only way to have her is to win her in a game of chance then so be it. What these two strong willed persons do not anticipate is a sudden storm that forces them to flee the storm and ending up on an island. Within the tropical setting, Raiden woos Liana to be his lover, friend and wife in all ways but will Liana let her heart go to Raiden? Or will she lose the chance to see how love can be between two remarkable people? Read Refuge from the storm and see what happens between Raiden and Liana.

Ms. Eden is a delight to read in this wonderful quickie. Her storyline is centered on the strong willed Liana, bent on steering her own course in life and Raiden who loves her and is bent on having her no matter what. Strong willed, multidimensional, these are two dominant characters that will literally stand out amid the pages of Refuge from the storm. By creating these two, Ms. Eden crafts a story amid the lush setting of the tropics and will have the reader thinking they are on the beach with Raiden and Liana. The plot is a little weak on how these two met the first time and such but eventually they come out. This reviewer would have loved to know more of their back story but as a quickie story, the details given worked just as good.

The flow of the book was quite fast and easily captivates the reader from beginning to end. Me. Eden is a wonderful storyteller that weaves a sensual spell amid this storyline. She is truly a wonderful author to keep an eye on in the months to come!! Refuge from the storm is a mesmerizing tale that will keep the reader entertained from beginning to end and will leave the reader breathless with the sensual and passionate love scenes. If you love a historical romance full of complex and interesting characters, lush settings and a plot that leaves you breathless, read Refuge from the storm and see what the sea will cast up next for the reader!!

JOYFULLY REVIEWED http://www.joyfullyreviewed.com/reviews/RRs/June07RR/ATasteOfTemptation.GE.html
Although Abigail is on the verge of being too old to come out to the London ton, she takes the opportunity to be a debutante. Having grown up with her eccentric aunt who never thought about marriage or anything of the like, when her aunt’s friend makes the suggestion, Abby decides it might be fun to see what life among the ton is like. When she arrives at the house of a friend’s nephew, who will sponsor Abby during the season, the notorious rakehell Simon Berrenger is in attendance. Just one glance and Abby decides to make it her goal to catch the man who thinks that for anything other than sex, woman are useless.
Simon is no fool to the games the women of the ton play to snare a man. With his new title, he’s considered quite the catch, but there’s no way in hell wedding bells will ring for him. Other than to use them for sex, women were useless to him. Once his desires were sated, there was no need to associate with any woman other than his cousin. But when he meets Abby, he can’t help but be interested by the beautiful woman and her blunt, unorthodox ways. But will he let go of the past to save the future he might have?
A Taste of Temptation is most definitely the best book I have read since I don’t know when. I sat for three hours reading it in its entirely, refusing to stop reading even to take a potty break I was that enthralled. Any Judith McNaught fans will definitely love this book, as it is very reminiscent of her writing. Each and every character in the book was wonderfully created and I loved the way that the story didn’t just focus on Abby and Simon, but had a little background story of Kendyl and Damien as well. The suspense was perfect—not too much to get you annoyed and wanting the author to “get on with it,” but the perfect amount to keep you hooked. The chemistry and passion between Abby and Simon was so tangible, and anytime they were together I could definitely feel the heat! This book is going in my pile to be read over and over and over again.
