“Bearing All” by Tiffinie Helmer (ebook)
A CIA assassin travels to Alaska to take out a former Russian spy – a former spy with whom she once shared a night of passion. After reading Helmer’s “Moosed-Up,” I couldn’t pass up this one – and it was free. This one is cute, spy story, but one with a bit of an edge. It is a very readable story.

Review to come, but this book made me so happy. I’ve been waiting for Grant’s story, and it more than lived up to my expectations.

“To Wed a Rake” by Eloisa James (ebook)
When Kerr, a British Earl, quotes Shakespeare at a London event, he hurts his long-standing fiancé. Emma travels to London in order to make Kerr eat his words by pretending to be a French widow. I loved the premise. This is a very witty story – and much of it is told through a series of letters.

In this one, Maggie gets a naughty gift from a Secret Santa asking for her submission. Thus follows, 12 days of kinky Christmas fun as Maggie’s Secret Santa reveals his fetishes and identity to the woman he loves. I enjoyed this one. The hero is a nerdy, but hot IT guy who loves to be in control This one is very heavy on the spanking.
