Darke Paranormal Investigations #1 Darke Passion Rosanna Leo - New Release

Darke Paranormal Investigations #1
Darke Passion
Rosanna Leo

Edwina Darke is one of a trio of ghost-hunting sisters who rid clients of their unwanted supernatural visitors. A badass by nature, Edwina doesn’t run from haunted houses—she runs into them. Yet no matter how many “ghosts” she debunks, she remains troubled by a demon from her own past.

Simon Teal is the co-owner of a historic B&B in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, a town famous for its connection to the 1812 War. Simon doesn’t believe in the spirit world, but something is chasing his customers away, so he reluctantly allows the Darke sisters to investigate.

As the team uncovers the star-crossed love behind the B&B haunting, Edwina and Simon’s attraction flares. It’s the last thing either of them needs. The dedicated Edwina refuses to lose herself in another relationship, and Simon is still reeling from a terrible betrayal.

When a darker presence reveals itself, triggering their protective instincts, Edwina and Simon succumb to temptation. But the evil entity has taken an interest in them, and if they don’t solve the mystery, someone new could end up going “into the light.”

And it could be one of them.

Review

Romance, ghosts and a great story.

This book grabbed me from the description and lived up to my hopes.

Simon and Connie have a ghost problem so they ask the Darke sisters for help. The Darke sisters are Edwina our leading lady in this book, Addeilade and Susannah. Susannah is not much of a feature but Addeilade is very interesting and strong, as is Edwina.

Simon just wants peace in his b&b so hopes the Darke sisters will help him achieve this. Spending so much time investigating Edwina and Simon grow close (no cheating, as Connie is a business partner!). The pair of them are cute but definitely have a spark.

The ghost story is intriguing, and I enjoyed it. It seemed a bit risky at times though!

The character development was fab, Simon had a story and Edwina most certainly does, I was surprised where hers went.

The climax of the book was spot on.

Great read.

Covet (Vegas Sins #2) by Rosanna Leo - Review Post

Covet (Vegas Sins #2) by Rosanna Leo

Alex just acquired Sin City’s hottest casino hotel, and he’s determined to make Vice the ultimate pleasure palace—along with the mind-blowing new club, Covet.

But behind the successful entrepreneur façade, Alex struggles with a past that continues to haunt him, day in and day out. 

After a surprise hookup with a beautiful stranger, he thinks he’s found the perfect distraction…until she walks out, leaving him with an unfamiliar ache which the pulse-pounding nights of excess at Covet can’t soothe.

When their paths cross once again, Alex realizes Dana is so much more than a mere distraction. He wants her—all of her.

But having her means he needs to face both her demons…and his own.

“Warning: This book contains discussion of infertility, which may be difficult for some readers.”

My Review

I read Vice the original book set in Las Vegas and loved it so was thrilled when I heard there was gonna be another book based in the casino land.

Alex is the new owner of Vice, his a shrewd businessman, but he has a past that still haunts him. Alex also shows his a considerate boss through the book, but most importantly to us the romance reader his a considerate partner and lover! His rather adorable actually.

Dana is the lady that Alex had a quickie with in a pub toilet, but Dana ran out on him before they could exchange numbers, but luck is on their side and they've had another chance encounter. Dana is a troubled lady, her fiance dumped her after finding out she was infertile, just hours later - scumbag. Dana puts others before herself, keeping her pain hidden while others deal with their issues. She can't deny shes drawn to Alex, even if she is surprised to find out who he is, but his money is not what interests her, it's his thoughtfulness and prowess in the bedroom.

I found the story easy to read and read it in a day, the characters are so likable you couldn't help but will them to find a happy ending. 

A great read.

The Stand-in by Rosanna Leo

Book Blurb

Out of work and desperate, Winn Busby accepts the only job available to her … professional liar! Simple enough, until she meets a former political journalist determined to sniff out the truth about what she’s up to. Charming, witty, and filled with sizzling passion, The Stand In, another great romantic comedy from author Rosanna Leo. 

Failed actress Winn Busby is at the end of her rope. With no money and no prospects, she accepts the one job she never thought she’d see on her résumé. Professional bridesmaid. It should be easy. If only the idea of weddings and vows didn't give Winn a case of the hives. Her role becomes more challenging when she's told a reporter will shadow her work for a men's magazine article. 

Working for Player Magazine is Patrick Lincoln's worst nightmare. A former political journalist, he used to write thoughtful columns for one of Toronto's most respected papers. That is, until he was blackballed for allegedly sleeping with the boss's wife. Overnight, Patrick becomes the city's most reviled bad boy. And now he's forced to write a seedy expose on, of all things, a bridesmaid. 

Patrick begrudgingly accompanies Winn to a series of strange weddings. As they are forced to work together, he learns there is more to the stand-in bridesmaid than puffy dresses and pretty speeches. She, in turn, begins to question whether or not Patrick actually deserves the derision of his peers. As much as they fight their attraction, it begins to threaten their work and their sanity. 

For so long, Winn has felt second-best. A stand-in. She finally meets a man who believes in her value. But can she let go of the past and accept him? 

Content Notes: Hot, Contemporary, Romantic Comedy

My Review

**Warm, funny and romantic**

Winn has a bad history with men, she's out of work too, surely she's due some good luck....

Patrick is an out of work journalist, his a man anyone could fall in love with his charming, funny and sexy.

Winn has a chance of a new job as a Stand-in bridesmaid, it's good money and you get to keep the dresses! How can you turn that down! 

Patrick and Win are thrown together when Patrick is asked to do an article on a Stand-In Bridesmaids. He is tasked with following her around while she does her job, which means spending time together and getting to know one another.

I loved how Rosanna who I know more for her paranormal romances made these two people so real, they had normal conversations even at the most inappropriate times! The relationship developed beautifully and the sexual tension between the two built up to a point where I was desperate for them to kiss, I think I enjoyed the kiss as much as the characthers lol! 

There is also a great selection of background characthers, they're mainly family and all families have issues, these two families are no different.

I'm sure it's safe to say there's a happy ending, but it's all about the journey.

If your looking for a refreshing read give this romantic comedy a try.
