Review: The Many Sins of Lord Cameron
The Many Sins of Lord Cameron by Jennifer AshleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Cam has dealt with trauma from his first wife. She was abusive to Cam and would have been to son Daniel as well, but Cam protected him (and was abused in Daniel's place). She later attempted to murder him and committed suicide. Ainsley works for the Queen. She did something in her past and carries regret. Her brother and her (now deceased) husband rescued her. She loves her family and tries to always do the right thing. She is trying to retrieve some letters that the Queen wrote and ends up in Cam's bedchamber. It's familiar because she was caught by him 6 years ago for a similar reason. Needless to say, that first time made an impression.
Ainsley is someone who is honest and doesn't throw herself at him. She also sees Cam for the lonely and somewhat broken human he is. And he sees Ainsley too. This was a very nice story of 2 lonely people who find each other and realize they have a lot in common. They gradually fall for each other despite their pasts. This family is fun to read. They are different and they love and support each other just as they are. Daniel is very perceptive and forthright for his age. Good introduction with next book- Hart and Eleanor.
Note: Ainsley's maiden name is McBride and her brothers are Patrick, Sinclair, Elliot, and Steven. They also have books in this series.

Review: Midnight's Kiss
Midnight's Kiss by Donna GrantMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
*Spoilers for previous books*
In the previous books, the villains (Dierdre and Declan) have been vanquished and all is peaceful. Or is it? Saffron and Camdyn have had a baby girl. All (or lat least most) of the coupled up couples want to start having families; is it really safe to do so? At present what is stopping them is the desire to bind their gods and have a "normal" life. The spell is missing and they have been trying to locate it.
Ronnie (Veronica) is an archaeologist and a Druid. Ronnie knows she has an ability, but doesn't know she is a Druid. She has always been "lucky" in her digs and has a good following with people willing to donate money as a result. Arran is tasked with volunteering at Ronnie's current dig in the hope they can find the spell.
This did take a little bit of time for me to get into. There are new story-lines introduced in this one. Lots of action in this one. There is a new Big Bad (and yes, I was right about Jason!) and an unknown supernatural entity that gets released (the Selmyr). The MacLeod Castle Warriors and Druids have a new bad to fight (and possibly more with the Selmyr).
It would be nice if they (those at the castle) would study the drough blood and see if they can determine what is in it that harms them. Especially since it was commented, the effects are worse. If they knew more, they would have a higher chance of coming up with something that would negate or diminish its effects. Just sayin.
