Blurb: She couldn't believe her eyes.
Stressed out ad-exec Dakota wandered into Catamount Outfitters in search of a guide for a wilderness excursion. She didn't expect to be greeted by not one, but five of the most ruggedly delicious-looking men she'd ever seen. Not to mention a live cougar guarding the shop.

The Falke brothers have more than just good looks in their genes.
Eldest brother Axel agrees to guide Dakota on her mountain trek. In cougar form, Axel's twin, Gunnar, was there as a protection from predators—but he had his eye on the sexy client instead.

Into the wild...
While the rule with clients was "paws-off," both Axel and Gunnar couldn't resist Dakota's seductive Native American beauty and determination. As cold days led to hot nights in the cabin, Axel and Gunnar wondered if they'd finally found a woman strong enough to tame them...

Review: As I expected this duo has crafted another rocking tale that will not leave you disappointed :) I am never left wanting when I pick up a Keaton/Layle tale :)

This team has a rhythm that makes it look so easy. Their characters are deep and life-like. The situations, even when paranormal, are believable and the passion ignites the pages. Another winner from a great pair :)

Blurb: Jacqueline Beaumont disappeared ages ago, cursed into a lonely existence of moonlit shadows and eternal heartache. Her only sanctuary has been her dilapidated ancestral home, but a new owner threatens to change that.


Thomas Princeton returns home to renovate the Beaumont plantation, its halls haunted by a mysterious beauty and its lands claimed by a precocious, black-haired beast.

He must collar the beast and gain the beauty's trust to win her heart and find true love, but the beauty and the beast share a secret, and she’s determined to run him off…if only he weren’t so incredibly sexy.

Review: Yeah baby!!

Yet another hum-dinger for the dynamic duo :) This is the second in their Once Upon a Time....series and let me just say...it rocked :)  While there was one spot when I wanted to thump Tom on the forehead and say "Duh, haven't you figured it out yet?" I still loved the story. The sex was smokin, the story was well written (Not a surprise from either of these ladies) and I couldn't put it down.

If you haven't figured it out by now, I am a huge fan of this writing team and I am sure that if you grad one of their works you will be too.

*SNAPS* ladies...I can't wait for the next one :)

Review: You know....when an author (or authors) can take a story, craft it with characters who aren't perfect, fill it to the brim with sexy and smoking sex, arrange a fantastic plot that flows and keeps the reader engaged, and deliver an ending that was a satisfying as the rest of the book, do you know what you have? A Damn Good Book!

Keaton and Layle have done it again. This writing team has yet to let me down with their interesting, titillating stories that flow and caress and leave me sighing at the end. This retelling of a classic fairytale was wonderfully done with a few new twists and turns that kept me reading and wanting more :)

If you have yet to try this duo, I don't know what you are waiting on :) Consider this your engraved invitation to search and pick any one of their multitude of great tales.

Blurb: They met once through The Pleasure Club, now they find one another in the heart of Incognito.Drake Kavanaugh is a private investigator working undercover to set up a sting on a human sex slave ring. He wants Victoria, but he has to keep his distance or risk blowing his cover.Victoria Casey wants him more than anything in the world, and when she’s in his arms she feels safe. Little does she know that one good deed could lead her right into the middle of his sting where her life, and her body, is up for sale.

Review: Copulation, criminals and cops, Oh MY!! When I read the first story about these characters I loved them. Hot and sexy, they were a great match in bed.....on the table......the couch...okay, so you get the picture :) When the author asked if I would like to read this next installment about these characters, I was thrilled that I didn't have to say goodbye to them. I am SOOOOOO glad Ms Keaton teamed up with Ms Layle to write another titillating tale filled with sex, spankings and a healthy dose of alpha male!

As readers we sometimes read a work by an author and scramble to get more from them only to be disappointed. This is NOT the case with Arresting Victoria! I am confident that anything I ever read from Ms Keaton will be held to the same standard as the two I have already read and I will be on the hunt for more of her work. And since Cobblestone Press boasts 25 titles by her, I have my work cut out for me :)
