Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt

(To be released: 24 October 2011)

Can a pirate learn that the only true treasure lies in a woman’s heart?

She went to a river pirate for help in saving her husband and in the process made a bargain that cost her her marriage. That night wounded her so terribly that she hides in the foundling home she helps run with her brother. Except …

I read for the HEA as well, but Paul Marron has a lot to do with my enjoyment of romance novels.


I was one of those people who didn’t read romances in their youth. While my friends and my family members were reading romances, I was reading mysteries and sci-fi. In college, I did read some Harlequins but all those young …

I haunted the Tucson Public Library as a kid, ghosting through the stacks, slipping like a silent shade past rows of books that towered above me like idols built of ink and paper. The air smelled of musty books and metal shelving. I’d peer at the titles arranged on the shelves, pull them gently from the packed rows, read the back blurbs, and scrutinize the cover art on books I’d …

It’s a sailor’s life for me! A guestpost by Kieran Kramer

Welcome to day 3 of our 1000 Followers Celebration! Today we’re very happy to welcome Kieran Kramer on Book Lovers Inc. Kieran is the author of hilarious regency romances I would recommend to anyone who want to have a good time. Let’s give a warm welcome to Captain Kieran 😉

It’s a sailor’s life for me!

Yep, I say that from experience. I sailed a lot with my family as a kid. But my new Regency historical romance has nothing to do with sailing. It takes place in the Highlands of Scotland. Charlie’s a visiting Englishman–Daisy’s a Scottish lass. And yes, there’s a loch.
But no one gets on a boat.
Too bad! I don’t know what I was thinking–I will definitely get a boat into one of my next novels in my new series!

Why?

I got my love of reading from my mother and grandmother. As a little girl, they used to read to me all the time, and I loved it. (I still love to have someone read aloud to me — the hubs does this regularly, usually what we call News of the Weird, which, knowing me, should surprise no one.)

Being read to was great. However, even …
