Review: The Elusive Wife by Callie Hutton

Funny & Fresh Regency Romance!

 

I thoroughly enjoyed The Elusive Wife by Callie Hutton. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book and couldn't put it down once I'd started. The hero, lovingly called Lord Arrogant (chuckle) couldn't possibly get himself into any more trouble while the wonderful heroine, Olivia, is witty and too smart for the roguish lord.

 

This is a must read and I'll certainly be looking out for more books from this author. I Loved it! 5 Stars.

 

 

 

 

Jason Cavendish, the Earl of Coventry, is trying to discreetly locate his unwanted and abandoned bride among London society to request an annulment. However, he doesn’t remember what she looks like because he was blind drunk at his arranged wedding and hasn’t seen her since.

 

The fascinating Lady Olivia has captured the Earl’s attention. Newly arrived from the country to stay with her school friend for the Season, she is appalled to discover that her husband, Lord Coventry, doesn’t even recognize her. She’s not about to tell the arrogant arse that she is his wife. Instead, she flirts with him by night and has her modiste send her mounting bills to him by day.

 

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned… Too bad this woman finds her husband nearly irresistible.

 

 

New Year. New Beginnings.

Happy New Year first and foremost. I can't believe 2013 is here already, and January is almost over. Already so much has happened.

First, I'm employed again. Yay! This will mean less writing time, but at least work will enable me to take the family on holidays more often and for me to attend writing conferences. So, there are lots of positives to go with the negatives.

I'm subbing my latest novella, A Summer in Somerset and hopefully I'll be able to find it a good home. This story is a little controversial so I'm not sure what people will think of it or the publishers for that matter. Eeekk.

Come April first the second book in my Daughters of the Gods series, GUARDIAN will be released. I've been having great reviews and feedback on book one, BANISHED which I'm so stoked about. It's nice having an indie published book people are enjoying. So thank you to everyone who's downloaded it and left reviews. I really appreciate it.

I've also decided this year to submit to agents again. I have a new dark paranormal romance I'm working on. It's quite different to what I normally write, and it's in first person, so we'll see if anyone likes it enough to pick me up. I live in hope.

I'm also reworking my Regency series and hoping to keep these for agent submission as well. Again, I live in hope. ;p

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New Year and I look forward to sharing with you all the ups and downs this year will no doubt bring.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

 

Another year over already and here we are a day away from Christmas and only seven from New Year! I wanted to thank everyone who helped me promo, contracted my books, bought my stories and supported my writing career in the past twelve months. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and safe and happy New Year!

 

See you all in 2013!

Happy Release Day - DEFIANT SURRENDER

Today my medieval time travel romance is released and I'm so excited to see this day finally arrive. DEFIANT SURRENDER is set in 1102 England where the times were hard and the men who ruled in them were even harder. I'm not sure what people will think of my Baron William, he's not the nicest guy I've ever written, but he does have some good points. *wink* Which of course my lovely, feisty heroine Madeline soon discovers for herself. *wink* *wink*

 

Unlucky in love, Maddie St. Clair hides behind an antique store and her mudlarking hobby. That is until she finds a medieval ring that throws her back to 1102 Cumberland and into the life of Lady Madeline Vincent, heiress to Norman lands and about to be married to an autocratic Baron, William Dowell, nine hundred years her senior.

 

Lord William Dowell protects his own. Usually, from his closest neighbor and long standing foe the Baron of Aimecourt. Forced to marry his dead enemy’s daughter, Lady Madeline, by King’s decree, he hides his growing respect for his wife behind a wanton mistress. Yet when Madeline’s life is threatened, William’s loyalty to his kin is tested by the astonishing desire that flares between them. Not to mention the love that Madeline ignites that would last an eternity. If fate will allow . . .

DEFIANT SURRENDER is an 80k length romance and is available from Amazon right now. I hope you enjoy.

BANISHED - Available Now!

Well, I've done it. I've become an Indie Author!! Woot!! BANISHED, my goddess / druid novella is available now through Amazon and for a limited time it's available for FREE! I would like to thank the fabulous Serena Tatti who was such a wonderful editor to work with, and who also gave me the idea to turn Banished into a series - hence, DAUGHTERS OF THE GODS was born. Book two, GUARDIAN is coming soon...

 

A goddess exiled.
A druid immortalized.
And the father of all gods bent on revenge.
