The Spaniards Pregnant Wife by Maisey Yates (Heir's Before Vows #1)

Perfection - no other word!

The Spaniard's Pregnant Bride
by Maisey Yates

It is destiny in motion when two strangers meet at a masquerade ball.  Their attraction, while dancing, is through the roof and the consequences of the night leaves no stone un-turned with changing everyone's life and changing the path of fate.

I was 27% of the way through this story knowing I'd be giving it 6 stars.  I give it 6 stars because 100% satisfied is how I was felt at the conclusion.  I loved how the last sentence referred back to the beginning of the book. I loved how Allegra and Christian discovered each other was each other and how Christian found Allegra. I love Allegra's brother, his way of standing by his sister (more than once) and can not wait to read his story in the trilogy.  I love Allegra's personality and how the author portrayed her lot in life and Allegra's take on it all.  I loved Christian and how he was written and what makes the story is a combination of their engagement with each other and the amazing way the author has with the words she uses.  I loved the background of Christian and Allegra and how they've been involved with each other's lives since way back and I just loved loved loved the flow, the banter, the plot and everything inbetween to bring it all together.  I loved how there were signs of how Christian felt about Allegra and despite coming across as gruff you could tell deep down he cared.

For the first chapter t think it's nothing short of amazing skill to have an entire chapter written with basically no words - just the thoughts of Allegra to carry the story and be completely blown away by the storyline.  To be caught up in her world and her story and be curious enough about the stranger at the masquerade ball who has made Allegra feel alive and feel like herself for the first time ever.  I wish I could describe how wonderfully written this book was - it truely swept me away from today!

I am so so so looking forward to book 2 and 3.  I can not thank Netgalley and the publisher's enough for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

This one kept me turning the pages first loves are never forgotten and what romances are about, a beautifully written story that will bring two people who have been through so much back together for a beautiful HEA.

Rose Cavalliero is a dress designer and she has worked hard to get there she has had a lot of ups and downs in her life and some only recently so she is looking forward to the appointment with a wealthy Spaniard Nairo Moreno with the hope of designing a wedding dress for his sister but Rose is stunned when this man turns out to be the one person that she gave everything to a long time ago and has never forgotten.

Nairo has had a tough life when he was younger but has turned his life around with hard work and now will do anything for his sister even if that means returning to England to hire the designer she requests for her wedding dress. England holds a lot of memories for Nairo some good some not so good but there was one person that he has never forgotten and now he will do what he has to, to bring her to Spain with him to design the special dress.

This is a story that is heart-warming emotional and very sensual as Rose and Nairo or Red and Jett come to terms with their pasts, open up to each other about misunderstandings that had happened and then fall back in love. I love lovers reunited stories and this is one that I highly recommend MS Walker has bought all of the characters to life on the pages sit back and enjoy you will not want to put this one down yes I was smiling and sighing.

Now years later, she faces a tall dark and dangerous Jett in the shape of business tycoon Nairo Moreno and then realizes what she had done. But at the time she was so sure that Jett was guilty. Yet now she knows she was scared of the situation and of everything around her. Could she hope for forgiveness from Nairo?

Nairo had never forgotten his Red as he called Rose back then. Meeting her years later as a sophisticated and savvy business lady, could he forget the past and focus on the chemistry still scorching between them? Or would he take his revenge now?

INDEBTED TO MORENO is a heart-touching tale about second chances and past regrets. Author Kate Walker brought this emotionally tortured and betrayed hero Nairo, whom readers would love. And a very strong heroine in Rose who takes the challenges life throws at her and still manages to move on.

Highly recommended for all readers of romance.

I am really enjoying this series and this one had a lot of angst and hurt that had to be overcome before they could finally have the HEA that was deserved there was a lot of mistrust between Dario and Anais and the journey was a tough one that will bring out a lot of emotions.

Dario Di Sione has been asked by his grandfather to find and return to him another of the lost mistresses this time a pair of earrings but Dario has an anger burning inside of him he is separated from his wife (not divorced) he throws everything into his business and pretty much keeps to himself even staying away from his identical twin since the break up of his marriage. But when he travels to Hawaii to collect the earrings he is stunned to find that he is to collect them from none other than the wife he walked out on and she has a secret that he needs to know about.

Anais has felt cheated for six years wronged badly but although she had done what she could to let Dario know about his child he had blocked her totally but the instant that they meet again that spark is still there but Anais is a lot stronger now a lawyer and determined to make things right for her son.

This one practically has sparks flying of the pages as you turn them there were times I could have hit Dario, but Dario has a lot to learn. I thoroughly enjoyed their sensual journey I loved the way that Anais stood up to Dario and stood her ground where their son Damien was concerned. I do highly recommend this one I am loving the Di Sione family and their commitment to their grandfather and the loves in their lives.

Beau needs to get out and about and has decided that a medical survival course in Yellowstone Park is just what she needs so off she goes to America from her home in England never realizing who she will meet and how her life will change.

Dr Gray McGregor is a cardiologist in Scotland he loves extreme sports and has thrown himself into these for years he had a tough life growing up and is convinced that he will never love but when he meets fellow medical student Beau in college there is a spark that cannot be denied and falls for her but when crunch comes to crunch and he is due at church he cannot do it and walks away never thinking he will see her again but never forgetting and feeling guilty, that is until they meet again in Yellowstone Park and that spark is still there but so much has happened.

I am working my way through all of Liz Fielding’s stories and am thoroughly enjoying myself I have a long way to go yet but I can highly recommend this one it is a sweet read that has a fair bit of misunderstanding in it between the hero and heroine but will definitely have you smiling at the end.

Charlotte Palmer has lived since her birth at Beaumont Court she comes from a long line that has worked for the owners and now Charlotte is working for Richard Beaumont the current Baronet writing the history of Beaumont Court and learning about the generations that have come before since Harry Beaumont built it in the 16^th century. Charlotte is very fond of Harry since she first saw his portrait as a young girl and is loving the wok she is doing but sadly Richard passes away and the new heir is about to arrive what will happen to the place Charlotte loves and cares so much for.

Matthew Ryan arrives after the death of his uncle for the reading of the will but he is first captivated by a young beauty walking the grounds while he is riding a black mount and their meeting is filled with sparks and a need that is not taken up. So when they meet formally there are still sparks and Charlotte is not happy at all. Matthew does not want to keep the estate it will take a lot of thought and investment and he has been hurt by the Beaumont’s and has never any of his relatives. He and Charlotte come to an arrangement regarding finishing her work at the estate which is going to keep them together ooh but there are many emotions and lots of angst between these two.

Matt is so very similar to the Harry Beaumont in looks and comes across as a tough and determined boss but there is a lot more to Matt and Charlotte is so determined to do what she can to get him to keep Beaumont Court throw in a neighbour who has their sights set on Matt and poachers and a little dog called Daisy, that their journey becomes a very uphill battle there seems to be problems that are everywhere and so many misunderstandings between them but the pull between them is so strong. This one had me so invested in the story I was almost yelling at them but what a fabulous story one that kept me turning the pages I loved the setting the story line old buccaneers and family history and that sensual pull throughout yes I can highly recommend this one.

This is a heart-warming emotional and very beautiful story one I didn't want to put down and yes I needed tissues, MS Gianna never disappoints me with one of her stories I love them and loved this one.

Dr Bree Donovan is a trauma doctor she loves the challenge and the variety of what comes her way via the patients, she is an only child and her parents have pushed and pulled her in many ways growing up she is also a top surfer and competes in lots of competitions but one thing Bree does not want is children and that is the reason that she broke up with her fiancé Sean Latham but she has never stopped loving him and when there is a car accident that involves Sean's pregnant sister who is also Bree's best friend Bree's life is about to be turned upside down.

Surgeon Sean Latham has had the perfect life growing up but when he loses his father he decides that he too wants a family like his own a loving wife kids the picket fence and falling for his sister's best friend Bree at first sight sees him on that path but Bree doesn't want children and they break up but Sean has never been able to move on, so when he desperately needs her help with his nephew Will this brings them back together oh and the sparks fly.

What can I say other that the sensual spark between Bree and Sean lights up the room and with little Will doing his best to pull them together and helping Bree realize how wonderful children can be you are not going to want to put this book down it really ticks all the boxes of what a medical romance is and this one left me smiling big time after crying and sighing.

This is a story that will grab you from page one, the mind starts thinking about what is going to happen when gorgeous soccer player for the New Jersey Hurricanes Logan Hart is quietly having a drink with a team buddy when a woman walks in and hands him a baby a beautiful copper haired baby and says you are her father this is Cinnamon. Logan does remember having a one night stand with the mother but wow this is a lot to take in, is Logan strong enough he knows nothing about babies he must get a Nanny and this is where the sparks start shooting about.

Isabella Bennett is one of the best Nannies around and is fabulous with newborns and she is determined to teach Logan how to be a great father and that is all she never gets involved with the people who hire her but there is a spark a pull that she cannot deny. Isabella has a reason why she does this job but as she gets closer to Cinnamon and Logan her thoughts are changing.

This is a moving story a story about love and understanding and doing what is right, I really enjoyed this one the spark and heat between Logan and Bella kept me turning the pages and seeing Logan become such a great father had me smiling and cheering him on and of course Isabella is such a rock such a caring loving heroine who had some real thinking to do to get her HEA and yes I highly recommend this story.
