About Lily Baldwin

Bestselling and award-winning author, Lily Baldwin, writes heart-pounding, fast-paced historical and contemporary romance...

I've always been a hopeful romantic and completely enamored with romance novels, especially ones involving a protective, rebellious Hero fighting the good fight. I started writing my first story when my daughter was born. I remember holding her new little body in my arms, promising her that if she worked hard, she could achieve anything. I realized how hollow my promise sounded when I had not accomplished my own dream of becoming an author. And so my journey began. I started to write my first book so that I could look my daughter in the eye when I encouraged her to strive. And now, nearly ten years later, I'm humbled to be able to say that hundreds of thousands of people have read my books. With gratitude, I wish you happy reading!

When the king forces her to wed a heathen Northman, she fears losing her heart and soul not only to the man, but the beast as well.

Destiny of a Warrior by Mary Morgan Legends of the Fenian Warriors



Destiny of a Warrior by Mary Morgan 
Legends of the Fenian Warriors, Book 4


Prologue 

In the beginning… when the world was new, Fae and humans lived peacefully together, but as the centuries passed, fear and distrust evolved. The Fae continued to love the humans, but they believed it was time to safeguard the realms. Therefore, they appointed the Fenian Warriors to protect the domain between human and faery. But most importantly, these warriors were to assist the humans and steer a new course in the mortal world. When evil threatened to destroy a clan, country, or civilization, the Fae council called upon these warriors. This group of elite Fae had the power to travel through the Veil of Ages, supporting those in need. They were not to alter the timeline or what the Fae believed to be the life strings of a human. To do so, would be catastrophic. Ancient and powerful, the Brotherhood of the Fenian Warriors was second only to the Fae King and Queen’s powers. They have lived amongst us for thousands of years— watching, aiding, guiding. They could live in the guise of a professor, lawyer, knight, tavern owner, or a simple farmer.

My Review:

Aidan Kerrigan and Rose MacLaren If you have been waiting for this book like the rest of us. Well, be happy and put that smiling face on. Dive into the book that will make you want to reread it many times. There is no surprise that Mary Morgan walks you through each and every scene. You feel like you are in the book as you read each word. 

My Fav quote, “A castle is a castle, regardless of the size.” Heck yea and I would love to be his mistress of any castle he owns. OK back on track, Aidan (HOT) and Roses path is a long and bumpy, but it is worth it. You laugh, want to cry, and hold hands with them as they travel the line that was drawn for them. 

Take the time and reads this book. It’s worth the time and emotions.

When a Highlander Weds a Hellion by Julie Johnstone Blog Tour

 

My Review of When a Highlander Weds a Hellion by Julie Johnstone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars





This is Broch and Katrienes story, and you will love every bit of it. The way she writes and how she pulls you in at every turn is amazing. 

I loved Broch. He was a bastard that needed to be found emotionally. Katrienes was the woman who could find him and  she made sure to show what kind of woman she was. Fiery, everything Broch needed.

Awesome book and so much action, mystery and murder, balled up into a perfect book.






 How far will he go to belong?

Fierce, famed Highland warrior Broch MacLeod has always been a bastard—until one day he isn’t. And now that he’s discovered his real family, he intends to do whatever it takes to carve a place for himself in it, including wedding the lass known as the Hellion of the Highlands.

What will she do for vengeance?

When strong-willed, independent Katreine Kinntoch is forced to wed her sworn enemy’s son, she vows never to surrender her body or heart to the wickedly handsome, too-cocky Scot. Instead, she intends to make him dislike her so much that he’ll gladly send her back to her home.

How long will it take them to see they are each other’s only hope?

Danger and treachery unexpectedly bring Broch and Katreine closer, but can they trust each other enough to choose love over the ties that bind and the revenge that burns all around them?


Excerpt:

She looked at the face of the man who would be her husband, a man who thoughts of had once filled her with promise. She felt as if she had somehow been duped. Sunlight glimmered over his perfectly rugged features like beams of icy radiance. She’d let her guard down like a fool for a handsome face. No, a wickedly beautiful face, damn the Scot. She might have to wed Broch to save her family, but she would not go like a meek, foolish little lamb to be slaughtered. She was a shield-maiden!

The Perfect Lady (Valiant Love) (A Regency Romance Book)The Perfect Lady (Valiant Love) by Deborah Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book by Deborah Wilson, and it is GREAT, loved it from beginning to end. Characters are Beatrix and Hero, you will fall in love with them as you read, and she does well on growing them throughout the book.

Beatrix is strong, knows what she wants and does everything she can to get it. Hero is honorable, comes from an honorable family and tries to keep that as he journies through.

If you have not read anything from this lady, start with this one, if you have then you know how good she really is. Get this book.

Review of Not Quite Christmas by Sharon Kleve




Not Quite ChristmasNot Quite Christmas by Sharon Kleve
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It's a sweet read and a wonderful story. I loved it from beginning to end. Adair and Easton's romance is steady and you get to go on the ride with them. It is a short story/novella, but it felt like it was more. You didn't feel like anything was left out of need. She kept me engaged and wanting more. Would recommend to everyone.

The False Mirror: A Women Sleuth Mystery Thriller by Dana V. Moison

The False Mirror: A Women Sleuth Mystery Thriller (Sharon Davis Chronicles Book 2)


The False Mirror The False Mirror by Dana V. Moison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first book from Sharon Davis Chronicles. Man, was it worth the read. Love the mystery, the intenseness of what's going to happen next. How she brings everything together. She brought to life the side characters as well as the main ones. I felt the emotions of the family and all the people involved.

She was able to solve two different investigations and you didn't feel confused at all. You knew what and where for each. She has a great plot, storyline and a well-done environment. You could feel yourself walking the streets of NY on the case with her.

The Girl From Scorpions Pass by Miri Furstenberg

The Girl From Scorpions Pass: Surviving the Massacre at Scorpions Pass Was Only the BeginningThe Girl From Scorpions Pass: Surviving the Massacre at Scorpions Pass Was Only the Beginning by Miri Furstenberg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story is about a girl and what she went through. Having to relive this to write this book... She has strength. Miri is an amazing person, and it is sad that she had the past she did.

When you read this book, you are walking in the shoes of Mari, you feel everything she does. I am surprised she was able to write this true story. It is amazing in every way, you feel her pain when her parents die. You feel her fear, and excitement, and trust issues. You want to keep reading and not stop but at the same time, you're surprised a person can go through all she had too and still be able to write about her lives journey from a child to adult.

Outlaw King by Julie Johnstone and GIVEAWAY

Outlaw King (Renegade Scots Book 1)Outlaw King by Julie Johnstone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW, this is an awesome book, the feel, the story, the excitement. Its all in their. Trust and loyalties are tested. Love and pain, from family who are evil and wicked.
When you start this book, you will not want to finish it. Julie keeps you glued to the pages. She brings history to life and makes you want to know more about whats to happen next.
Robert the Bruce and Elizabeth de Burgh, I loved them both. The characters were realistic, you could relate to what they were going through and wanted to be their with them on their journey.

About the BOOK:


Dark days have come to medieval Scotland, and fierce warrior Robert the Bruce would do anything to release his country from English rule—and not just because he’s the rightful heir to the Scottish throne. As the bloody war rages on, enemies on both sides of the fight surround him, and Robert must dance a dangerous line between truth and deception. One misstep could topple his nation and cost him his life, yet one woman tempts him—and threatens his mission—as no other ever has.

Elizabeth de Burgh longs for freedom in a time when women have none. So when she finds herself ordered by her ruthless father and her godfather, the King of England, to seduce the leader of the Scottish rebellion and reveal his secrets, she yearns to fight back against their cruel plot. But they threaten to kill her beloved cousin, leaving her no choice but to comply. As she grows close to Robert and the mask that hides the man who would be king is peeled away, she cannot imagine aiding in the destruction of the noble Scot bent on liberating his people.

Bound
by duty and honor but ensnared by passion, Robert and Elizabeth must determine if they are each other’s biggest threat or greatest source of strength. And moreover, they must decide how much they are willing to risk for the one thing neither ever imagined they’d find with the other—extraordinary, boundless love.
