Hundreds of Years to Reform a Rake by Laurie Brown

Ratings: * * * *(out of 5 *)
Genre: Paranormal Romance

Its a mixture of Paranormal and Regency as the ghost of Deverell, 9th Earl of Waite, comes to the future and takes Miss Josie Drummond, Paranormal Researcher, back to Regency England. Deverell has asked Josie to unmask a charlatan, prevent his death and find some missing treasures.
Easy?
Not really. Josie must use her wits and feminine wiles because she cannot bring in her equipment. Armed with a corset and 20th Century thinking, she dodges would-be suitors, fake Seances and Dev's bitchy ex-girlfriend.

The book is a lighthearted read, very informative in Regency decorum and a real feel-good reading. Highly recommended for romance collectors.

I was looking forward to Zacarias' book. It did not disappoint. :-)

Dark Predator is the 22nd book in the Carpathian Series. It features the eldest De La Cruz brother, Zacarias.

Spoiler Alert in review. (I might give too much away)

Dark Predator is more emotional romance than sensual delight. Zacarias was always hinted as a being who wielded too much power. He was getting too close to the darkness. He believes the age and power is corrupting him already. He's one of the oldest Carpathians alive and he acts as father not only to his brothers but to the whole hacienda.The families under him sees him as a king. Coming from a 3rd World country, we still have many feudal systems in the provinces. The Santos and Fernandez are under their don. Zacarias, being the oldest, he is supreme. He is the authority in everything. Nobody should question him. Drug lords try to encroach on his property but he deals with them without mercy. 
As the Haciendero, it is also his job to take care of his people. Not only are they financially well-off, he makes sure they are well-equipped. There really are things in the provinces that go bump in the night. Zacarias makes sure everybody has a gun and each house has a panic button.


Margarita is in awed at first. It develops into something more in the end. When she realized Zacarias is her lifemate, shegoes from pleasing the don to pleasing the man.
