I simply had to share this with you: I've came across a new blog, by one of my favorite authors, Zoe Marriott. She's only just started it, but she plans on updating regularly, with posts about writing tips, her upcoming books, et cetera. In other words, it sounds like not only will Zoe have some great advice for us readers-turned-aspiring-authors, but a bit of fun as well!


Remember my rave reviews for both of Zoe's YA fantasy books last year? Daughter of the Flames (review) and The Swan Kingdom (review)? Well, Zoe has mentioned that she plans on giving away a copy of one of her books, along with other fabulous prizes, to a follower of her new blog!

That's right-- you could have your own copy of one of these amazing books, perhaps even signed? (I don't think the books themselves will be signed, but she is giving out some bookplates and I do know you can get signed bookplates from her, visit her website HERE for more information on that!)

Now, she hasn't put up all the information about the contest details yet, but all the more reason to head on over early and check out her posts, enjoy yourself, The contest starts TOMORROW, Saturday June 25th, though I'm not sure how long it will run. However, by the end of it, who knows--- you could be the winner! :D


Oh, and I also found out that the sequel to Daughter of the Flames, titled Shadows on the Moon, is set to come out July of next year-- I can't wait! Come on, even if YA isn't your normal genre of choice, I think all of you would enjoy Zoe's books! Head on over to her blog and watch for her upcoming contest and perhaps you may be lucky enough to win a free copy from the author herself! You can thank me later when you find yourself adding these books to your 'Favorites' pile. :D



So remember, head over tomorrow for the contest details, post to comment/enter on, and other fun things to do!

HERE is the link to her blog home page.   (NOT the actual contest)


Until Next Time,



 Enjoy!

Title: Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage
Lady Isabella Scranton scandalized London by leaving her husband, notorious artist Lord Mac Mackenzie, after only three turbulent years of marriage. But Mac has a few tricks to get the Lady back in his life, and more importantly, back into his bed.








My Review:

After more than three years apart, Lady Isabella and Lord 'Mac' are slowly gravitating back towards each other in this delicious romance novel—because, as one knows, its hard to control the flames when they burn this bright between two souls. And perhaps a fair dose of love lurks in the flames? Only time will tell...



The second in the Mackenzies' Highland Pleasure series, Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage is a wonderful novel, filled with sweet, tender love that has long been denied, fiery passion, and a good dash of witty humor. And as if that were not enough, add into the mix a collection of interesting characters-- from Mac's roguish and artistic ways, to his brother Ian's unique perspective and troubles. Together, it makes for one spectacular novel, and one I am sure you will love!

I very much enjoyed watching Isabella and Mac reconcile after the years apart, to see the flames between them quickly rekindle and flare up. After being hurt by one another in the past, they each had much to change and work through, along with countless pieces of old baggage to get rid of, but that only added to the story—and character—development, making their love very believable and that much more sweet!

4.5 STARS! As much as I loved Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage, I think I will always turn back to Ian and Beth's story (The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie). There is simply something deliciously tempting about Ian, what with his truly tortured hero persona and unique troubles, which dear Beth has begun to help him to over come. It's not that I didn't love Mac and Isabella's story—I did!—but Ian holds a very dear place in my heart. However, Mac has now become a close second—at least so far! After all, we've still got two more brawny Scottish lads to marry off in this family... In short, for a rollicking good time, sexy Highland heroes and touching romances, you just can't beat Jennifer Ashley's novels!
