Lily Dalton's Passionate, Enticing, Reckless Top 5 List
What's something you're passionate about: Dishes. My “granny” had lots and lots of dishes, and not one matching set! It made her happy to eat on a different pretty plate every day and put them out for visitors. I think I must have inherited my love of dishes from her. My cabinets are crammed with all sorts, new and old. It’s an obsession my husband doesn’t understand.

Share a fun fact about your book: There’s a dangerous, wrong-part-of-town bawdy house!

Passionately Yours
PASSIONATELY YOURS by Cara Elliott (March 4, 2014; Forever E-Book; $7.99)
The youngest of the Hellions of High Street, Caro Sloane has watched her two sisters have exhilarating encounters with dashing heroes, and now she is longing for some excitement of her own. After all, how can she write truly passionate poetry until she has experienced a Grand Adventure? But that seems unlikely to happen as she'll be spending the next few weeks in the quiet spa town of Bath, where nothing grand or adventurous ever happens . . . until she and her new friend Isobel are nearly abducted while walking on a quiet country road-only to be rescued by Alec McClellan, the moody and mysterious Scottish lord she met at Dunbar Castle.
Alec has come to England to deal with a treacherous betrayal and fears that his half-sister Isobel is in peril from an old enemy. Does he dare share his secrets with Caro? The bold and brave beauty leaves him no choice, and together they are quickly caught up in a swirl of dangerous intrigue . . . where fiery desire between them may ignite into the greatest danger of all.
Cara Elliott started writing Westerns at age five but moved on to Regency romance after reading Pride and Prejudice. (Clearly she has a thing for Men in Boots!) A graduate of Yale University, she lives and works in New York City.

Lily Dalton grew up as an Army brat, moving from place to place. Her first stop after relocating was always the local library, where she could hang out with familiar friends: Books! Lily has an English degree from Texas A & M University and after graduation worked as a legal assistant in the fields of accident reconstruction and litigation. She now lives in Houston, Texas, with her family. When she isn't at work on her next manuscript, she spends her time trying out new recipes, cheering on her favorite Texas football teams and collecting old dishes, vintage linens and other fine "junque" from thrift stores and flea markets.

What a Reckless Rogue Needs
WHAT A RECKLESS ROGUE NEEDS by Vicky Dreiling (March 25, 2014; Forever Mass Market; $8.00)
WILL THE ROGUE'S PERFECT PLAN . . . Colin Brockhurst, Earl of Ravenshire, has no desire to wed, this season or any other. So when his father demands he give up his wild ways and take a wife, Colin refuses. But his father raises the stakes and threatens to sell the ancestral home if Colin doesn't comply. Now Colin has no choice but to find a wife. Unfortunately, the only woman he wants is the one whose heart he broke years ago.
LEAD TO THE PERFECT SEDUCTION?
Regardless of the ton's whispers, Lady Angeline Brenham won't settle for anything less than true love. After rejecting more than her share of suitable suitors, spinsterhood looms before her-until the devilishly handsome Colin reappears in her life with a proposition. Angeline vows to keep her feet on the ground and her heart in check. That is, until one searing kiss melts her resolve and reignites a burning desire for more . . .
Vicky Dreiling is a confirmed historical romance junkie and Anglophile. Frequent business trips to the United Kingdom allowed her to indulge her passion for all things Regency England. Bath, Stonehenge, and Spencer House are among her favorite places. She is, however, truly sorry for accidentally setting off a security alarm in Windsor Castle. That unfortunate incident led her British colleagues to nickname her Trouble.
When she's not writing, Vicky enjoys reading, films, concerts, and, most of all, long lunches with friends. A native Texan, she holds degrees in English literature and marketing.

ReplyDeleteHI Kim!!! As you very well know, books are my passion. I get all giddy when I read a fresh and great new books and I just have to share it with all. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteI'm passionate about books and music.
ReplyDeleteMy passion is books and reading, and everything to do with it. There is never a time when I'm not reading at least one book, usually two (one ebook and one print book).
ReplyDeleteI'm passionate about my family, my two wonderful dogs, and of course, books.
ReplyDeleteI used to take karate classes and now am into yoga classes.
I am passionate about reading. I am not at all reckless, but I always wished I had learned to water ski when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love seeing these three writers together. I'm not really the reckless type. :( maybe in my passion for books - I do spend way too much money on books.
ReplyDeleteI am passionate about science and while I am not generally reckless, I do wish I could ski.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and sharing, everyone! What wonderful passions. (No surprise that we all share a passion for books!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the lovely ladies on their new releases!!! These books sounds awesome!!! Ummm... other than my passion for reading... I love dogs. I don't do anything reckless... I'm boring!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches, everyone. I'm with Cara - we all share a passion for books!
ReplyDeleteI'm passionate about my family, reading, animals and doing what I can for animals the environment; on occasion I can make some enticing food; my reckless is probably pretty low key compared to many!
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm older the most reckless thing I do is the occasional trip to the casino lol. I can be passionate about family, books, cats (animals), games and politics/world problems.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of all these books. Like Vicky, I'm also very passionate about Henry Cavill.
ReplyDeleteI am passionate about my family. They are always there to help me when I need them and last minute too. Being away for college made me miss home a lot and my mom makes sure to call me every week to see how I'm doing and such. I don't know what I will do without them.
ReplyDeletecan bake cookies
ReplyDeleteDiane D - Henry is very popular on my Facebook page. LOL.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'm passionate about reading romance books. No surprise there. And I try not to be reckless since I'm not a young thing anymore. LOL
ReplyDeleteThese are three great books from three wonderful authors!

Something enticing...I'm a good cook: I was part of a prize-winning south Louisiana jambalaya cooking team; I fix Cajun goodies like gumbo, etouffee, red beans and pralines; I've even baked King Cakes and fried beignets.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway.
Really good write up ladies. I enjoyed finding out your "secrets" lol Of course reading is my passion, but I do enjoy outdoor camping and "roughing" it.lol
ReplyDeleteI'm passionate about family, reading, and dancing :)
ReplyDeleteLori
I'm passionate about my family, reading and our pets.
ReplyDeleteBooks and TV dramas are my passions. Of course, my family tops that list too!
ReplyDeleteLike most, my passions are family and books/reading. I haven't done anything reckless in ages!
ReplyDeleteFamily and book are my passion.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am passionate about my daughter's upcoming wedding. Her sister's wedding was beautiful and I want this one to be as perfect. I guess you could say I'm reckless too, all the spending on the wedding, lol
ReplyDeleteI'm passionate about my family and, of course, about books!
ReplyDeleteI loved the five questions that each of the authors answered. I liked that Cara is interested in Literacy issues, which is a biggee for me as well. The USA used to be so smart and we've really dumbed down our educational goals. I also liked that Lily is interested in dishes! My daughter had a Victorian styled wedding in the gardens of the Victorian home her hubby renovated and put on the historical list in Santa Cruz County, California. And together my daughter and I went to garage sales and thrift shops for a solid year before the wedding, collecting Victorian style plates, cups and other pieces for the guests' table settings. It was beautiful! And cheap. :-) And I liked that Vicky went for a hot air balloon ride. I've always wanted to go on one of those...at Easter, sunset, any time at all! Thanks all for participating in this interesting blog tour. jdh2690@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot to mention: Putting on this Victorian style wedding complete with wedding dress/veil, decorations, cake, music, dishes, favors, gifts, flowers for under $5,000 (the budget) was a reckless, passionate and enticing challenge for my daughter and I! But it was sooo much fun and it was beautiful.
