Book Blurb:

Gillian Forrester spent her life running…until Miles came along. The moment she held her older sister’s unwanted newborn, Gillian stopped running and began building a life for her adopted son. Now, thirteen years later, Gillian’s sister reveals the father’s identity on her deathbed-a revelation that shakes Gillian to her core.

Adrian Brown is the epitome of the successful rock star. It takes a lot to shock him-but the bombshell that he has a son rocks his world. And Adrian is even more surprised when the buttoned-up elegant woman who’s raising him ignites his erotic and romantic attention-and engages his heart.

Man’s best…matchmaker?

Montana Hendrix has found her calling—working with therapy dogs. With a career she loves in a hometown she adores, she’s finally ready to look for her own happily ever after. Could one of her dogs help her find Mr. Right…or maybe Dr. Right?

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome back! This week we’ve decided to try and take a look at Italian covers. We thought the covers would reflect Italy’s beauty but we were sadly a bit disappointed. Instead of eternal beauty and timelessness we found clichés and well…you will see for yourself. Be sure to let us know what you think about our selections.

Caro: O_O Well first I don’t find the cut out faces to be very attractive in the first place but if you add the weird “hey my make-up is running” part it’s just plain weird.

I like the Nalini cover. The wings are for once original. It’s simple but good. (also i have a secret thing for curly-longish hair on a man) <==that’s a man right? …

Bored and stifled by society, he steals jewels for fun and leaves orchids as his calling cards. He knows the woman he’s cornered at the ball is no aristocrat, much less the Princess of Valdastock.

The Kate Andrews series by Ilona Andrews

Caro: What really strikes me is that it’s not the same model for the 3 covers (or at least it doesn’t look like it). I really dislike the cover of the first book, she looks…dirty. That shadow close to her mouth is …
