Orphaned witch Amelia Bourne loves to experiment – but it’s a shame that her experiments always seem to turn into complete and utter disasters. Her latest “experiment” has resulted in the family home turning a less than becoming shade of blue, so as a punishment, her uncle decides that it’s high time Amelia was introduced in polite society, so she is dispatched off to London – minus her magic powers – and ordered to find a suitable husband who would hopefully calm her down and make her grow up!

In London, Amy’s stunning beauty soon has a trail of eligible bachelors leading a path to her door. When Amy encounters the handsome, rakish and devastatingly attractive, Sebastian “Fox” Stapleton, Amy is rather taken aback by him, but she soon finds herself unable to stop thinking about the sinfully sexy gentleman. But is he as good as he seems? Is he really the man for her? Or is there more to Fox than meets the eye?

When Amy goes to Fox’s country estate, Rawdon Park, she begins to wonder whether what she and Sebastian share is true love – or whether it’s just an illusion brought about by a sip of punch that has changed her life forever. Will Amy’s hopes for a future with Fox come crashing down round her ears? Is her relationship with him based on a complete and utter lie? Have dark forces taken a hold on her heart? Or is true love the only force responsible for bringing her and Fox together?

When Psychic Rachel Cunningham catches a hint of danger from a chance brush against an unknown person, she knows she must report it. Yet she’s also aware of what most people think of her and her supposed “gift”. Still, she gathers up her courage and reports her suspicions to FBI Agent Hawk Aarons, who promptly brushes her off.

While Hawk initially thinks Rachel is a publicity hound, he soon beings to doubt his first impressions. He quickly learns her feelings are right on the mark when she identifies a known Al Qaida cell leader. Since Hawk knows he must do everything in his power to catch the terrorists before it’s too late, he teams up with Rachel to try and catch them using her powers. But perhaps most startling of all is the attraction he feels for her…after all, this is most definitely not the time to notice her as a woman. Still…no accounting for timing…especially when Saving Tampa is all they should be concentrating on.

As they close in on the terrorists, it’s a race against time. Hawk and Rachel must find and capture the men before something unspeakable happens, something which threatens them and everything they hold dear. Will they make it in time?

Ms. Webnar’s Saving Tampa is a suspense filled story you don’t want to miss! Readers will be quickly ensnared with the wonderfully realistic characters and twisting, turning plot, not to mention the sizzling chemistry. The tension between Rachel and Hawk is maintained throughout the tale and skillfully balanced with the suspense of tracking the terrorists. There’s also plenty of action as these two seemingly different people from different worlds come together to stop evil. Enjoy! I know I did.

Having lost her mother in a tragic accident one stormy night, Miss Alison Clearwell was sent to a ladies’ academy by her grief-stricken father, who had abandoned his daughter and left for Jamaica to seek his fortune, promising to return to Alison in time for her to be launched into polite society. Her father is now a rich man, however, complications soon arise which prevent him from coming to London, and which force poor Alison to leave behind all that is familiar to her and to travel to St Petersburg, where her father has arranged for her to stay with his brother.

The last thing Alison wanted to do is travel to a distant land, but she knows that she must do as her father tells her. So, packing her bags, she sets sail for Russia, unaware of the dangers which she is about to face on a journey that could change her life forever.

Aboard the shop which is taking her to Russia, a fire breaks out and Alison is forced to seek refuge in an inn where she comes to the attention of a group of men, whose leader, Prince Nikolai, is determined to have his wicked way with her. Forcing himself into her room, Nikolai terrifies Alison, who wanting to protect herself and keep herself from harm, lies to the Russian and tells him that her fiancé is next door and he would be furious if he found his bride’s life and virtue being endangered!

Lord Francis Buckingham is taken aback when he overhears Alison’s charade, but he will not let an innocent young woman be compromised, and he barges into her rule and confronts Prince Nikolai, who as the brother of the czar’s mistress, is not a man to be crossed – especially when Francis has been engaged by the British government to get close to the Czar and deliver important documents which could prevent the downfall of Russia.

Francis is not about to endanger this mission, so he realizes that he must act as Alison’s betrothedl – despite the fact that he’s really engaged to her best friend! But as the two are thrown in close proximity together, they soon realize that they’d much rather their pretend kisses gave way to the real thing…

Sandra Heath is always fabulous and readers will not be able to resist this wonderfully romantic tale. Rich, atmospheric, evocative and totally engrossing, Lord Buckingham’s Bride is another unmissable Regency romance from one of the genre’s top writers!

Being a governess is certainly no fun and nobody knows that better than Moira Greenwood. Forced into service by her lack of fortune and less than impressive circumstances, Moira is little more than a slave to her immature, selfish, self-centered younger cousin Perdita, who dreams of becoming an actress and who is an accomplished flirt!

The little minx is determined to make it onto the stage and seizes her chances when on a trip to visit her Aunt Maude, she wangles an invitation to sing on a stage with a group of less than refined actors, who when not acting, spend their time drinking, stealing and womanizing!

Realizing that the only way she can ensure that her charge does not disgrace herself is by keeping an eye on her, Moira decides to cook for the company of actors they’ve befriended, and although she soon realizes that beneath their abrasive exteriors, the actors are actually a good sort, Moira still would much rather be anywhere but in a dingy room above a less than salubrious pub, having to witness all manner of debauchery!

As if things weren’t bad enough already, Moira and Perdita have been mistaken for lightskirts by Lord Stornaway, a scoundrel who has fallen so desperately in love with Perdita that he vows to make her his mistress! Seeking refuge in the house of their friend and neighbour John Alton, Moira and Perdita think that they’ve manage to prevent this major disaster – until Stornaway turns up at their door with a thunderous expression on his face!

Stornaway is determined to have Perdita in his bed. But the more time he spends chasing her and her governess Moira, the more he realizes that he’d much rather bed the stubborn governess, than her flighty charge.

With no dowry or fortune, a future with Stornaway seems impossible. But Moira hasn’t counted on his determination to make her his wife!

I absolutely adored Perdita! Bursting with fun, charm, wit and frivolity, it’s just what a good Regency romance should be! Joan Smith’s name on a book cover is a surefire guarantee that the reader is in for a good time and with its cast of eccentrics and wonderful hero and heroine, readers are certainly in for a treat with Joan Smith’s wonderful Perdita!
