The
Plot:
Twelve
years ago, Mandy Devlin moved away from her friends and family—under threat. If
she returned in the next ten years or told anyone who fathered her baby, her
boyfriend’s great-aunt would bankrupt her family. She’s a single mom who dreams
of her lost love and a good spanking. When she’s finally free to return to
Westhorpe Ridge, the last person she expects to see is Adam—the man she loved
and lost so long ago.
Dr.
Adam Montgomery doesn’t know he has a son. Thanks to his great-aunt’s will, he
has nine months to find a bride or he loses Montgomery Hall and the fifteen
million dollars she left him. Although he seduces Mandy on his first night
home, he still believes she betrayed him twelve years ago. No way would he
marry a woman like her.
As
Valentine’s Day looms, someone tries to kill Mandy. Is Adam trying to get rid
of her? Or can Mandy trust him to protect them?
About the Author:
Alpha
males and their sassy mates rule in Kryssie Fortune’s books. If the hero’s a
shapeshifter, then so much the better.
Werewolves
prowl through her Scattered Siblings series, along with the occasional Fae and
vampire.
She
grew up climbing trees and playing with imaginary dragons. Kryssie still loves
dragons, and if she can sneak one into her books she will.
Her
pet hates are unhappy endings and books that end on a cliffhanger.
Kryssie’s
books are hot and explicit, but the plot always comes before the sex. Since she
writes erotic romance, she guarantees a happy ending.
Review:
When
are schools going to start teaching English grammar again? Desire, Deceit, and the Doctor is not an independently published
book written by an author who could not afford an editor. Loose Id presumably
has an editorial staff, yet this book needed better editing. I found it very
frustrating.
Books
also need to be believable. There was a big, honkin’ elephant in the room that
made me crazy. Mandy Devlin returns to her hometown twelve years after she left
with an eleven year-old son, and it doesn’t occur to any of her friends that
she must have been pregnant when she left. Can’t anyone do the math? Adam’s a
doctor. One would think he could count.
Furthermore,
Ben’s the image of Adam and has Adam’s habits and mannerisms. Mandy’s best
friend is Adam’s sister. How does she not take one look at this kid and see her
brother? How does Adam not see himself? I yelled at the cast of Desire, Deceit, and the Doctor all the
way through.
Finally,
in order to enjoy a romance, I need to like both parties. Adam was no hero in
my eyes. What kind of guy takes a girl’s virginity, and then believes she has
sex with another guy immediately afterward? The guy shows Adam a pair of
panties. Big deal. How does Adam even know they belong to Mandy? But, he buys
the guy’s story and calls her every kind of name there is in front of the whole
student body before walking out on her at their Senior Prom. As far as I’m
concerned, Adam’s not worth the dirt Mandy walks on, and I don’t understand how
she can possibly feel anything but loathing for the man after that.
PS: Where do they get the models for these covers? I've seen several where the woman looks a good ten years older than the man. This book is not about a cougar. This couple's supposed to be the same age.
Don’t
bother with this one.

You’ll
notice we always include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors
usually receive 40-50% of the net proceeds from the publisher. Editors and
cover artists usually receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes
& Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the
author, editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left. So, if
a book costs $5.99 at E-Book Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author
will receive about $2.40-$2.99. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author will
receive about $1.70-$2.10.
Download
the file from the publisher onto your computer as you would any other file. I’ve
created a folder for books on my computer, with subfolders by source (Marketing
for Romance Writers, Net Galley, Authors who find me on Kindle lists, etc.).
That way, if there’s a glitch with your Kindle, the books are on your computer.
Some publishers send books in all digital formats. If my Kindle breaks and my
kids buy me a Nook, I won’t have to replace all of my books. If you have a
Kindle and your hubby has a Nook, you won’t have to buy separate copies, so
buying directly from the publisher can save you money.
Moving
the file from your computer to your e-reader is as easy as transferring any
file from your computer to a USB flash drive. Plug the larger USB end of your
e-reader charging chord into a USB port on your computer and simply move the
file from the folder into which you’ve downloaded the book to Documents/Books
directory on your e-reader. You can move the file by highlighting it and
dragging it to the documents directory in you Kindle you want to move it to. Or
right click on it, and then left click copy or move. Or hit Control/C for copy,
Control/X for cut, and Control/V for paste.
Your
author will be happy you did when he/she sees his/her royalty statement.
Thanks
for visiting.
