Winter heats up in this hot new Star Harbor romance, as another sexy Grayson brother, a wickedly handsome writer, plots his happily ever after with a sweet stranger.
 
Frustrated with her job in Boston, social worker Avery Newbridge welcomes the opportunity to reassess her life when family asks her to help manage the Star Harbor Inn. Trying to figure out her future is overwhelming enough, but she doesn’t count on distraction in the form of one Theo Grayson, the gorgeous, green-eyed author who she knows is trouble from the moment he saunters into the inn.
 
Not only does he have a talent for writing swashbuckling adventures, but Theo also has a soft spot for big-hearted damsels in distress, especially a woman who’s great at helping everyone—except herself. Avery’s demons challenge him, but for desire this hot, he isn’t backing down. With every kiss and heated whisper Theo promises her his heart . . . if only Avery is willing to open up and accept it.

First Line(s): Of all the possible pranks a person could pull in the Star Harbor Library, putting a dead fish in the heating vent ranked high on the list of ones to try.

My Thoughts: Elisabeth Barrett is fastly becoming one of my favorite authors, she writes such enduring love stories.

Theo Grayson is hoping being back in his hometown, Star Harbor, will help cure him of his writer's block that he has been experiencing lately. Could he not only find the cure but the inspiration for his new book while at home?

I adored Theo in Blaze of Winter becaue he was the perfect balance of witty and charming. I think Theo gets the top spot when it comes to the Grayson brothers. Can Elisabeth Barrett top Theo? I bet she can!

Elisabeth Barrett has a winning series on her hands and I can't wait to see where she takes the rest of the Grayson brothers.

Blaze of Winter was a quick and fun read. I love the characters that call Star Harbor home and the town makes this city girl think she would like to move to a small town... doubt it will ever happen though!

The third installment in the Star Harbor seres, Long Simmerin Spring is due out May 13, 2013.

Come on May!!

The fourth book, Slow Summer Burn is due out August 12,2013.

Look for reviews on both books because I HAVE TO READ THEM!

Deep Autumn Heat by Elisabeth Barrett { Review }

Deep Autumn Heat

{ Star Harbor #1}

by Elisabeth Barrett

Kindle Edition, 322 pages

In this sexy new Star Harbor romance series, featuring the too-tempting Grayson brothers, a celebrity chef turns up the heat for a local café owner—and things start to sizzle.

Lexie Meyers decides there’s nothing sweeter than watching Sebastian Grayson’s perfect, wicked mouth devour her coconut cake. He’s hot, he’s hungry, and he’s sizing her up like she’s the best thing on the menu. But she’s been burned in the past and flings just aren’t her thing. Too bad Sebastian can’t resist a challenge. 

Worldly, famous, and notorious with the ladies, Seb had planned a weekend of fishing and relaxation with his brothers. Until Lexie, with her kissable lips and frosty “get lost” attitude, makes him want to forget his culinary empire and create some magic with her. After he fires up his charm—including challenging her to a televised cook-off to break through her resistance—it’s now hotter in the bedroom than it is in the kitchen and Lexie isn’t sure whether she’s lost her mind . . . or just her heart.

First Line(s): "Any local worth his salt knows what time the fishing starts in Star Harbor," a large, handsome, dangerous-looking man with raven-black hair intoned in a deadpan. "And it ain't eight-thirty."

My Review: What a charming contemporary romance novel! 
Deep Autumn Heat had it all. Small town feel { which I love to read about in stories}, smoking hot leading man ( and his brothers were easy to read about as well) and a strong independent leading lady. I mean what else could you ask for... suspense? Deep Autumn Heat has plenty of this as well.

I believe Elisabeth Barrett has a great start/foundation for her new series, Star Harbor and I have already dived into the second book, Blaze of Winter.
I am hooked on the Grayson Brothers already.
