Chyba tak, dobrze pisze. I różnorodnie. Niektóre są zabawne, jak te baśnie z podróżą w czasie.

Za to jeszcze się nie brałam. I również kilka miło wspominam :lol:

Ślicznie dziękuję, zaraz sobie poczytam :padam:

Nie było, ale pomyślałam, że może jednak nie dopisała. :-D

Dodałam swój mail do newslettera Clare, ale udało mi się to zrobić dopiero na przełomie roku, miałam jakieś problemy wcześniej z przejściem do okienka gdzie wpisuje się mail :facepalm:

Nic mi jednak nie przychodziło od Clare więc dlatego dopytałam o czwartą część :-D

przez **Lilia ❀** » 28 stycznia 2016, o 15:03

It's the novella I wrote for Princess Alex and Luke Houston. Remember them from book 4? Consider this a prequel. It's only $1.99 and ended up being about 40k long if I recall.

Coś było, ale jakoś słabo ich kojarzę.

Strona WWW · przez **Duzzz** » 28 stycznia 2016, o 16:09

Oooo, fajnie :-D

Alexa wydawała się fajna i chyba najbardziej lubię właśnie tom 4, Once upon a Billionaire, gdzie ona się pojawia :wink:

Maylee i Griffin mnie ubawili :mrgreen:

przez **Księżycowa Kawa** » 28 stycznia 2016, o 16:10

Taa, ta część była świetna i miała kilka nieoczekiwanych zwrotów :lol:

przez **Księżycowa Kawa** » 28 marca 2016, o 20:18

Tak jakoś się złożyło, że przypomniałam sobie „Beauty and the Billionaire” i nadal mi ta historia się podoba. Hunter na początku był taki zdeterminowany i robił plany, lecz pojawiła się Gretchen i wszystko wzięło w łeb :evillaugh:

i nigdzie nie mógł się ukryć :hahaha:

Strona WWW · przez **Duzzz** » 29 marca 2016, o 14:49

Uwielbiam Huntera :evillaugh:

Ciekawe czy przeszedł w rankingu na męża :hyhy:

No i to jego hobby, hodowanie róż :bigeyes:

przez **Księżycowa Kawa** » 29 marca 2016, o 15:51

Tak, faktycznie nieźle się wyróżnia, szczególnie na plus po tym, jak Gretchen rozprawiła się z jego kompleksami :lol:

Biedak przeżył prawdziwy szok :evillaugh:

i jak ciężko było mu uwierzyć we własne szczęście :hyhy:

I tak się przykładał do tych róż, taki troskliwy, ale dla Gretchen był gotów nawet te róże poświęcić.
I nigdzie przed nią nie mógł się ukryć :hahaha:

Strona WWW · przez **Duzzz** » 29 marca 2016, o 15:53

W późniejszych częściach są też niezłe z nimi sceny, szczególnie jak oni bywają oboje na tych zebraniach :evillaugh:

A czytałaś z billionerami ten drugi cykl? Powinnaś zerknąć, tam jest sporo Gretchen :mrgreen:

przez **Księżycowa Kawa** » 29 marca 2016, o 15:57

Było, było albo jak Gretchen wrabiała Griffinowi :hahaha:

Kolejnego cyklu nie ruszałam, bo „One Night With a Billionaire” wciąż przede mną :roll:

Strona WWW · przez **Duzzz** » 29 marca 2016, o 16:05

Ubóstwiam scenę gdzie Hunter jest chory, a Gretchen koło niego skacze jak matka kwoka :hihi:

W kolejnym jest też niezła zabawa i się nie raz uśmiejesz :mrgreen:

Z niecierpliwością czekam na kolejne tomy

przez **Księżycowa Kawa** » 29 marca 2016, o 16:07

A gdzie to jest? Również to chcę przeczytać!

Strona WWW · przez **Duzzz** » 29 marca 2016, o 16:12

Nie pamiętam :smarkam:

Zabij, ale nawet nie wiem czy to jest w tym pierwszym cyklu czy w drugim :bezradny:

W domu przekartkuje wszystkie książki i powiem ci dokładnie co i jak.
Chyba, że może Lilia wpadnie i będzie to pamiętać. :wink:

przez **Księżycowa Kawa** » 29 marca 2016, o 16:17

Tak na oko to będzie „One Night With a Billionaire” albo dalej.

Tak mi przy okazji wyszło, że „Romancing the Billionaire” praktycznie rozmywa się w pamięci, w zasadzie „The Wrong Billionaire's Bed” również, ale z „Stranded with a Billionaire” raczej nie mam kłopotów. No i z „Once Upon a Billionaire” – nie przy takich bohaterach :hahaha:

Strona WWW · przez **Duzzz** » 29 marca 2016, o 22:30

To jest jednak w "Once Upon a Billionaire" :-D

W drugim cyklu zdałam sobie sprawę, że nie może być, bo tam się kręci akcja wokół ślubu Gretchen i Huntera, no i nie ma na pewno tych spotkań :wink:

Fragment:

Spoiler:

“Ante up, boys.” Reese tossed his chips into the center of the table. “Let’s get this show on the road. Some of us don’t want to be here all night.”

“You never minded before,” Jonathan grumped as he threw his chips after Reese’s. “Marriage turning you into an old man?”

“Nope,” Reese said easily. “Just eager to get home and see my firecracker. Pregnancy really increases a woman’s hormones, you know.” He wagged his eyebrows at the others in a devilish manner.

“Please, spare the details,” Cade said with a grimace. He added his ante. “Audrey’s a childhood friend of mine, and I don’t want to hear about her raging hormones.”

“Jealous?” Reese said with a grin. He nudged Griffin on the other side of him. “You in, buddy?”

“Hm?” Griffin looked up from his phone, frowning at Kip’s message. It was two simple words. No luck. Damn it all. “I’m in.” He forced his attention back on the card game.

Logan put in his ante and arched an eyebrow at Griffin. “Everything okay?”

“Just family issues,” Griffin said sourly, and reached backward to the drink table and grabbed the bottle of cognac. The others preferred whisky, but he liked something a bit smoother. He didn’t bother pouring it into a glass, just opened the bottle, swirled it, and took a swig.

Now, both of Logan’s eyebrows went up. “I’m pretty sure,” Logan began, “that there’s no such thing as ‘just’ family issues. At least, not in my experience. They asking for money?”“If only.” If he could toss a few million at his family and make this go away, he would. Griffin chugged the cognac again. Maybe he should have gone for whisky after all.

Reese began to flick cards out on the table, dealing. “So where the hell is Hunter tonight?”

“Gretchen said he was on his way,” Logan said with a shrug. “I assume he got caught in traffic.”

Jonathan picked up his cards off the table and gave Griffin a curious look. “You nervous about the site visit?”

“Site visit?”

“The dig we sponsored. Spain?” Jonathan looked surprised that Griffin had forgotten. “We’re supposed to go next week and see how things are progressing. You know they found a promising cache of coins.”

“Damn it.” He’d forgotten. “I can’t go. I have to be at the royal wedding.”

All the men groaned sympathetically. “God, that sounds like the biggest whipping ever,” Reese said.

Griffin didn’t disagree.

Jonathan was frowning. “You’re bailing out on me, man? But I—”

The door at the top of the stairs opened, and all five men turned, conversation forgotten.

Hunter appeared at the top of the stairs, dressed in a heavy jacket, scarf, and carrying a box of Kleenex. His nose was red, his eyes bleary, the ugly scars on his face livid. He sneezed.

As Hunter descended the stairs, his girlfriend, Gretchen, trailed close behind him, a worried look on her face. “Do you need more cold medicine, baby?”

She looked like she was the one who’d been sick. Her vivid red hair was pulled into a messy bun, and she wore a baggy sweater and yoga pants.If he’d have passed her on the street, Griffin would have questioned if she was homeless or not. He still couldn’t believe Hunter had fallen for her. She seemed so very . . . uncouth.

“I’m fine,” Hunter said, though he hardly sounded like himself. His voice was raspy and broken.

“Oh, clearly,” Gretchen said sarcastically. She tromped to the bottom of the stairs after him and began to unwind her scarf, tugging off her jacket. “Hi boys, sorry we’re late.”

Griffin groaned into his cards. This wasn’t the first time Hunter had brought his loudmouth girlfriend with him to one of their “supposedly” private meetings, and it annoyed Griffin each time. “Really, Hunter? You couldn’t come without her?”

Gretchen shot Griffin the finger as she reached for Hunter’s jacket, helping him take it off. “He’s sick as fuck, prick. I told him to stay in bed, but he wouldn’t, so I came with him. You can just suck it up.”

“Lovely,” Griffin muttered. “Just what the evening needed, a visiting harridan.”

“That’s my sister-in-law,” Reese murmured to him. “So can you shut your mouth before I hear about it when I get home?”

Griffin gave Reese an icy look. “Not you, too? Am I the only one who has a problem with the whole ‘secret society’ being secret?”

Jonathan shot him a sympathetic smile across the table, but Griffin noticed he didn’t speak up. Coward.

“Hey, I know,” Gretchen said, giving Griffin a wide-eyed innocent look as she settled Hunter into the only empty chair at the table. “Why don’t you take another swig of ‘Shut the Hell Up’ and let me care for my man?”

Dignity didn’t allow Griffin to answer. He settled for giving her his best cold aristocratic stare-down. It seemed to be wasted on Gretchen, as she was currently fussing over Hunter, and the scarred man was letting her. Disgraceful. When Gretchen was satisfied with the state of Hunter’s attire, she turned around and sat in his lap. “So, what are we playing?”

Griffin stared at her and waited for someone to correct her impertinence.

“Hold ’Em,” Cade volunteered, ever the suck up.

“Cool,” Gretchen said, and grabbed Hunter’s chips, wiggling on his lap. “I’ll help Hunter play.”

“What, are his hands sick, too?” Jonathan asked, a dry note of humor in his voice.

Gretchen wagged a playful finger at him, and Hunter only wrapped his arms around her waist, a pleased look on his ugly face as he wiped his nose with a Kleenex. He seemed to like Gretchen there.

Traitor.

Even Logan, the head of their society, didn’t seem displeased to see Gretchen at their table. Sure, she’d signed a non-disclosure agreement in which she’d promised not to divulge a single detail of their secret Brotherhood, but it was the principle of the thing, wasn’t it?

“We’ll skip the professional discussions this week,” Logan said, lighting a cigar.

Figured. He’d been looking forward to losing himself in some business talk. It seemed like everything was against him right now. He said nothing as the first cards were dealt, and chipped in his amount to match Cade’s bid.

“I’ll see your amount,” Gretchen said, pushing chips forward. “And raise you that gigantic stick up Griffin’s ass.”

Griffin threw down his cards. “Oh, come on. This is ridiculous.”

“Kids, kids,” Reese said. “Let’s settle down.”

“He started it,” Gretchen said sulkily. “It’s that snotty accent of his. Everything he says sounds ten times more jerkish.”
Griffin glared at the hateful woman. “If you don’t like it, feel free to leave. I don’t seem to recall anyone inviting you here in the first place.”

Hunter only tightened his grip around Gretchen’s waist and gave Griffin a small shake of his head, warning him not to pick a fight. Good God. A man fell in love and all of a sudden, he was letting his woman walk all over him. Griffin vowed that he’d never let that happen to himself.

Cade peered at Griff from over his cards. “You all right? You seem unusually moody tonight.”

Griffin rubbed at his face. “I’m having a hell of a time, thank you for asking.”

Logan grunted acknowledgment of this.

“What’s the problem?” Jonathan wanted to know. “Anything I can help with?”

“Not unless you have a spare assistant,” Griffin said. He put his cards down, unable to concentrate. “My assistant-slash-valet is ill and won’t be available to travel for at least another week, and I fly to Bellissime tomorrow night for the circus that will be cousin Alexandra’s wedding.”

Gretchen gasped. “Holy shit. Princess Alexandra of Bellissime is your cousin?” She fanned herself, looking excited. “That explains that douchey attitude! You’re royalty?”

He narrowed his eyes at her. He never tried to hold his title over anyone here in the States to make them feel inferior, but at this moment, he was sorely tempted. “I don’t see why it matters.”

“That wedding is a huge deal!” Gretchen exclaimed. “It’s kind of neat that you’re going.”

“Except that Griffin is probably almost as antisocial as Hunter there,” Jonathan acknowledged with a nod. He shot a glance at Griffin. “And it’s interfering with other projects.”
Damn. Griffin was going to be upset about missing that dig for weeks. He just knew it. He’d go check on things afterward, of course, but it wasn’t quite the same as getting that initial tour of the grounds and being there on site as things transpired.

“It doesn’t even matter if I wanted to go,” Griffin said. “Which I most emphatically do not wish to attend. But if I don’t have an assistant, I’ll be forced to rely on my mother’s staff.” His collar felt chokingly tight at the thought, and he tugged at it and his necktie. “So I need an assistant.”

All of the men groaned in sympathy.

“What? What is it?” Gretchen asked, curious.

“His mother is kind of . . .” Cade began, clearly trying to think of the best word.

“Unpleasant,” Hunter offered, finally speaking.

“That branch up Griffin’s ass? It’s an entire redwood for Her Royal Highness Sybilla-Louise,” said Jonathan.

Gretchen’s eyes widened. “Holy crap.”

“Thank you for that lovely reminder, gentlemen,” Griffin said in a clipped tone. “Ever so grateful. Really.” He swigged his cognac again. Manners be damned—he needed the burn of alcohol, and he needed it sooner rather than later.

“Well,” Gretchen said sweetly. “Hunter has an extra assistant at his office. I bet he would let you borrow her. He’s sick right now anyhow, and he’s not going in.”

Hunter broke off into a coughing fit. He raised a hand, and Gretchen pulled it against her waist, that saccharine smile never leaving her face.

Griffin gave her a narrow-eyed look. Why was she trying to be helpful all of a sudden? After the hissing they’d done to each other across the table? “He does?”
Gretchen nodded, holding on to Hunter’s arms while he coughed and hacked. The man did sound brutally sick. “She’s very sweet. Hardworking. I’m sure she’d travel on short notice if offered overtime.”

“I’m going to need someone who can run a very busy schedule for me while I’m in Bellissime. There are many high-profile functions I must attend.”

“I’m sure that won’t be a problem. Maylee’s very . . . task-oriented. And she takes a lot of notes.”

Griffin pondered this. He looked at Hunter. “You wouldn’t mind if I borrowed her for a few weeks?”

“God, no,” he said between coughs.

Gretchen elbowed him. “He’s sick and needs to be on bed rest right now,” she said. “So he shouldn’t be working anyhow. And if he needs help, he can count on me.”

Griffin eyed Gretchen’s disheveled appearance. “Quite.”

But her smile only grew broader. “Want me to make a call to her?”

He considered this. He didn’t entirely trust Gretchen . . . but Hunter wouldn’t tolerate inefficient employees. He’d seen how the man’s household was run. And to be honest, he was low on options. “I’ll check in with Kip again tonight, and I will let you know if I need her services.”

“Of course,” Gretchen said smoothly. “Just let me know. I can’t wait to hear.”

To scena gdzie Maylee zostaje zatrudniona :hihi:

Uwielbiam tą część :hihi:

Pamiętam ten moment wrabiania Griffina, ale zapomniałam, że wtedy Hunter był chory.
Potem było już tylko lepiej :hahaha:

A z tego cyklu podobała mi się najbardziej trójka, jak dla mnie najwięcej humoru w niej było :-D

No nie mogę z tego sreberka, albo z tej toalety, bohaterka miała boskie pomysły :evillaugh:
