Molten Chocolate…Cinnamon Spice…Gingerbread…Old-Fashioned Vanilla…You can’t stop at just one.
And the women of the Cupcake Club love to indulge…
Kit Bellamy was raised on pie. Mamie Sue’s Peanut Pies, to be exact, the family company her scheming brother-in-law sold out from under her. Now Kit needs a new recipe for her life—and sleepy Sugarberry Island is the first ingredient. Running mail-order cupcake business Babycakes is a chance to get her baking on again—until she meets tall, dark, and adorable lawyer Morgan Westlake. New to the island to raise his goddaughter, he’s as mouthwatering as any of Kit’s creations. It’s just her luck that he’s the spawn of the very law firm that helped crush her dreams…

Fortunately, Kit’s new friends can assure her that Morgan is no typical Westlake—and that even lawyers, not to mention single dads, need romance. If Kit can just be persuaded to follow her appetite—and set another place at her holiday table—her sweetest dreams just might come true…

 

Kit Bellamy has been royally shafted by the people who she trusted the most. Her spirit and a lot of her self respect has been torn to shreds and she knows in the deepest part of her heart that she let down not only the preceding three generations of Bellamy women, but also the people who worked for the family business.  Who did this to her?  Her sister and brother in law.

Now she must hope that a new opportunity and new job in another state will allow her to find herself and rebuild her career and life.

I love this series. Donna Kauffman has created an oasis where women and men can find a bit of rest to rebuild lives, souls, and even, just maybe find love.

Devilishly HOT is Devilishly Funny!

Devilishly Hot

And you thought your job was hell. . .

Annie Lou Riddle had a plan: Move to New York City. Break into the fashion industry. Work her way to the top. Nowhere in that scenario did she expect to accidentally sell her soul in exchange for a job at Hot! Magazine. Oops.

Demons, it seems, aren’t big on letting mortals off the hook. Now Annie is stuck working as assistant/personal slave to Finola White—diva extraordinaire, and glamorous she-devil. Whatever Finola wants, she gets, and she wants Annie to match her up with Nick Rossi, the gorgeous detective investigating shady doings at Hot!

Frankly, Annie sees the appeal. Nick is effortlessly sexy, rugged, charming—and the one man Annie should definitely not be flirting with, or kissing, or. . . Oops. But some loves are too devilishly hot to resist. . .

 

Finola White, owner and chief editor of HOT! Is a bitch from Hell, LITERALLY!  Working with or for her is bad for your health and your soul.

Annie Lou Riddle didn’t know then when she got the call from Hot! Magazine.  She’s been hired to be the personal assistant to Finola White herself.  Signing a ten year contract, and now three years into it, she is doing her best to keep from forfeiting for any reason at all.  Her life is one long headache and nervousness.

Heading out to run errands for Finola one afternoon she literally runs into this major hunk of a guy who she thinks is probably a model or something.  Little did she know that this man (Detective Nick Rossi) was going to turn her life on its head and eventually change it in ways she never would have imagined.

Devilishly Hot is a Paranormal Romance with large chunks of humor tossed in for flavoring.  I read a short story which featured Finola in a novella recently and was totally blown away by the concept and the writing.  Kathy Love has a light touch on the humor and a heavy well written hand on the main story.

I highly recommend this book to lovers of the genre Romance in any of its forms.
