Catch a Great Book with Romance Novels from Hatchette Book Group

I love to curl up with a great book, but with the kids at home this summer, finding that quiet time is quite rare. I have found that while the kids are playing outside, that I can take advantage of the shade and my lounge chair and read a great novel in just a day or two. Thanks to the Hatchette Book Group, I was able to review three very different, very alluring romance novels.

Ravished by a Highlander by Paula Quinn is the first in the Children of the Mist series, and is a fast paced romance novel loaded with a rich story line and enjoyable characters. The plot is thick with anticipation as the two main characters relationship develops, and the risk for Davina's safety increases. The story flows smoothly and keeps you flipping pages, eager to see what happens next. The details in the historic time period are spot-on, and the romance and passion that develops along the way is enticing and engaging. I loved the accents, and the story; I cannot wait to see what the future installments have in store for its fans. I would recommend this novel to readers that enjoy a brogue and a "knight in shining armor"-er, kilt- to come rescue a damsel in distress & win her heart.

Montana Destiny by R.C. Ryan is the second in the Montana series. Although I did not read the first book, I did not feel lost reading this novel. The characters were well developed and I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style of Ms. Ryan. I enjoyed reading how the relationship between Wyatt, (a wild cowboy who drives a Harley), and Marilee, (an independent, strong-willed EMT), developed and why a lunatic that has it out for them. Is it the gold? Is it the family curse? Fun and exciting, this novel is a quick and easy read. I am excited to read the first in the series, and the future Montana Glory. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a little mystery and excitement to their romance novel.

Still the One by Robin Wells is by-far my favorite of these new releases. Although I loved all three of these books, I truly fell for the characters in this novel. Love- in its purest form, in its truest form, and in its eternal form is the basis of this novel. After Katie's husband died in Iraq, she functioned, but barely. After she was reconnected with her childhood sweetheart, and something very special that they shared together, her life changed in a most drastic way. As the story progressed, the love, the pain, and the loss that Katie goes through truly pulls at your heart, and you feel her emotions as the chapters fly by. You hope and wish that Zack and Katie can make it- that he can get over his fear of commitment and that she can let go of her past and move to the future. This southern romance novel brings 'summer love' to a whole new level. A must read!

I cannot stress how much I enjoyed all of these books.. so different, yet all so appealing. Our friends at Hatchette Book Group have offered a chance for 4 of our readers to win this summer romance collection for their own library.
