As you may have noticed (or maybe you didn't) there was not a review of the books featured during the week preceding Easter last Sunday. Which means today's post is long because I've got all the wonderful Featured Books of the Day from the last 2 weeks for you!!! So lets go...
NAUTI
BOY
by Lora Leigh
Book
1 of the Nauti Series
Too
weak to resist young Kelly Benton's attempts at seduction, Rowdy Mackay left
home eight years ago. Duty as a U.S. Marine put a safe distance between
temptation and the nubile Kentucky vixen. Now he's back home and ready to
engage in the kind of erotic games that have earned him and his two cousins a
Nauti-boy reputation in three counties.
Once
it was Kelly's dream too-to feel the heat of the boy she desired. But an attack
from a stalker still on the prowl has left Kelly terrified of a man's touch.
Now as fear and desire converge, Rowdy fights to save her from the deadly
threats of a stranger, to rid her of her demons, and to satisfy a hunger more
powerful than either can imagine.

BAY
OF SIGHS
by Nora Roberts

To celebrate the rise of their new queen,
three goddesses of the moon created three stars, one of fire, one of ice, one
of water. But then they fell from the sky, putting the fate of all worlds in
danger. And now three women and three men join forces to pick up the pieces…
Mermaid Annika is from the sea, and it is there she must return after her quest to find the stars. New to this world, her purity and beauty are nothing less than breathtaking, along with her graceful athleticism, as her five new friends discovered when they retrieved the fire star.
Now, through space and time, traveler Sawyer King has brought the guardians to the island of Capri, where the water star is hidden. And as he watches Annika in her element, he finds himself drawn to her joyful spirit. But Sawyer knows that if he allows her into his heart, no compass could ever guide him back to solid ground...
And in the darkness, their enemy broods. She lost one star to the guardians, but there is still time for blood to be spilled—the mermaid’s in the water and the traveler’s on the land. For she has forged a dangerous new weapon. Something deadly and unpredictable. Something human.

BECAUSE
OF MISS BRIDGERTON
by Julia Quinn
Sometimes
you find love in the most unexpected of places...
This
is not one of those times.
Everyone
expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two
families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie
ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband...
someday.
Sometimes
you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should...
Or
not.
There
is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He
may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and
she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she
can't stand the sight of him, either.
But
sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor...
Because
when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of
sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they
just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they
can't live without...
HEART-SHAPED
HACK
by Tracey Garvis Graves
When
Kate Watts abandoned her law career to open a food pantry in Northeast
Minneapolis, she never dreamed it would be this difficult. Facing the
heartbreaking prospect of turning hungry people away, she is grateful for the
anonymous donations that begin appearing at the end of each month. Determined
to identify and thank her secret benefactor, she launches a plan and catches
Ian —a charismatic hacker with a Robin Hood complex—in the act.
Ian
intrigues Kate in a way no man ever has. But after learning he’s snooped around
on her personal computer, she demands retribution. Impressed with her tolerance
and captivated by her spirit, he complies and begins to slowly charm his way
past her defenses. Time spent with Ian is never boring, and Kate soon finds
herself falling for the mysterious hacker.
But
Ian has enemies and they’re growing restless. In the hacking world, exploiting
a target’s weakness is paramount, and no price is too high to stop an attack.
And when Kate learns exactly how much Ian has paid, she’ll discover just how
strong her love is for the man who has hacked his way into her heart.

REQUIEM'S
SONG
by Daniel Arenson
Book
1 - Dawn of Dragons Series
Weredragons,
men call them. Monsters. Cursed ones. People who can turn into beastly
reptiles.
In
an ancient world just rising from darkness, they are everywhere. Some wander
the plains with clans of mammoth hunters. Others are born in riverside huts.
Some live across the ocean where seafaring tribes are discovering the secrets
of bronze and writing in clay. Everywhere their curse is the same--people who
can grow wings, breathe fire, and take flight as dragons.
And
everywhere, they are hunted. They hide in forests and caves, dispersed. Many
are alone, unaware that others exist. They are shunned, afraid, dying . . .
until a group of these lost souls binds together and stands tall.
A
blacksmith in a world of stone tools. A mammoth hunter exiled from her tribe. A
traveling juggler and a wandering warrior. An elderly druid and an outcast
prince. They are weredragons. They are cursed and hunted. Together they will
forge a new tribe, a home for their kind. A dawn of dragon rises. The nation of
Requiem is born.
