Available: Now
Pages: 218
Source: Netgalley
Rating 3.5

Synopsis:
Wanted: fake fiancée for a wealthy rancher

Benefits: all your dreams come true

#1 Rule: don’t fall in love

The woman on his doorstep is brash, independent and holding a baby! His father won’t approve, which makes her perfect for Joshua Grayson’s scheme. He’ll pretend he’s marrying unsuitable Danielle Kelly to keep his father from meddling. He won’t be tempted to touch her, to claim her…or to fall in love. 

Review:
Cute cowboy love story!  Very short and feelgood.  While it is part of a series, I didn't realize it when I requested this book but I didn't feel like I needed the other books to know what was going on.  I will go back and read, because Ms. Yates has a way of making the words fly.

Title: A Week to be Wild
Author: JC Harroway
Genre: Erotic Romance
Available:  Immediately
Source:  Netgalley
Publisher:  Harlequin
Format:  E-book
Rating:  3 stars

Synopsis:
Libby Noble is done with men who live on the edge, but sexy British billionaire Alex coaxes her out of her comfort zone—professionally and very personally! She’ll agree to play his game…but only by her rules!

Review:Well, hot and wild in a week, this book did deliver that. It was short but filled with lots of steam if that is what you are looking for. This is a new print for the Harlequin line and will be sure to find a suitable market ready to devour all the books in the line. As of now, it seems that all books are only in e-book format. I did find the insta-love a little too far fetched, but we have all seen that guy that sets our heart a thumping! There is a lot to be said for an author that can make 'safe' sex erotic! Definitely looking for more books by JC!
