Scoundrel
Zoë Archer, Zebra, $6.99 (432p) ISBN 978-1-4201-0680-0

Archer follows 2010's Warrior with another delightful tale of an intelligent, competent woman sharing adventure and romance with a formidable partner. In this version of 19th-century Europe, rival secret societies battle over ancient sources of magic. Meek linguist London Harcourt is brought to Greece by her controlling, secretive father. After a chance meeting with the charming Bennett Day, London learns that her father and his companions want England to control the world's magic, while Bennett's group, the Blades of the Rose, is trying to return the artifacts to the peoples that originally owned them. London, finally ready to make her own choices, becomes an active participant in the race to save the mystery of Greek fire from abuse by her father's organization, beginning a relationship with Bennett along the way. London's personal growth paces the adventure story beautifully, and readers will cheer for both the romance and the Blades. (Oct.)

The third Blades of the Rose book is set in the Canadian Rockies, a place of raw, powerful beauty, full of myth, legends and danger. I wasn't able to travel to this magnificent place, but I did get as close as I could. My husband and I visited Whitefish and Glacier National Park in Montana, which is part of the same mountain chain as the Canadian Rockies.

The scenery was spectacular and incredibly inspiring. When reading about Astrid and Nathan's adventures in the wilderness, picture scenes like these, and you'll be transported--just like I was.

DEVIL'S KISS
by Zoë Archer

Genre: Historical Romance, Paranormal, England
Sensuality: HOT
Setting: 1762 England

RT Rating: 4 1/2 Stars TOP PICK!

The Hellraisers, a band of rakes and rogues who trade their souls in their search for pleasure make their debut in Archer’s new series. Her heroes are bad, dangerous and seductive, her heroines are their match in every way; and her stories are powerful and dark. Feminist, emotional and absolutely a “keeper.”

***

Hellraiser James Shelbourne, Earl of Whitney, is fearless in his pursuit of gambling pleasures. One night in a Romany encampment he meets the fascinating Zora Grey, a talented cardsharp. Zora teaches him what it means to lose, but she is unable to prevent the Hellraisers from making a deal with the devil — each will surrender his soul to gain his heart’s desire. Now, Zora must find a way to help Whit reclaim his soul by fighting against an evil that could consume the world and destroy their newfound love. (ZEBRA, Dec., 400 pp., $7.99)

Archer returns for the second installment of The Hellraisers series, featuring a group of men who have sold their souls to the devil for various powers. Leo Bailey is a highly intriguing hero, and Archer’s skill at building layered characterization grounds the story and adds to the peril facing her protagonist.

Born a commoner, Leo Bailey has been determined to rise in wealth and power and seek vengeance on those who considered themselves superior to him. Through a bargain with the devil, Leo has the gift of foresight, which has made him rich. Now he just needs a blue-blooded bride to gain access to the ton. Anne Hartfield is the daughter of an impoverished baron, and she knows Leo is her best shot at marriage. Neither of them expects the intense attraction between them, both physical and mental. Just when Anne starts to realize she is falling in love with her husband, she is approached by Lord Whitney, a former member of the Hellraisers with a devastating warning: Leo’s soul is doomed unless Anne can find a way to save him! (ZEBRA, May, 368 pp., $6.99)
