New Release: Virgin for the Prince by JS Scott



 Diana:

Who ever said that money fixes everything? Well, I can tell you firsthand that they were dead wrong. I was born an only child to one of the wealthiest families in America, and all I've ever felt was loneliness and a sense that I may have been adopted. I don't fit in. I never have. When all my mother wanted was for me to marry into another prestigious family, I wanted an education and to just be...normal. It's not that I don't appreciate having a roof over my head and everything my heart desires. Problem is, what I really want is something money can't buy. I want to be loved for who I am and not how much money my father acquired before his death.

At the age of twenty-four, I'm still a virgin, and a freak among my peers because of my fascination with all things history and literature, my bad hair, my bizarre eyes, and my complete lack of style. When my mother wants to send me away to a house party on a little-known island nation, I jump at the opportunity. Hardly anybody from the outside gets invited to Rubare Virgina, and it's rich in history. Sure, I realize that she's aiming high and trying to marry me off to some pompous, obscenely wealthy prince, but I've decided I'd resolve that problem at the masquerade ball at the beginning of my stay on the island.

I'd lose my virginity to the first guy who would have me, making myself ineligible to be any royal's wife on Rubare Virgina. Then I could just enjoy my stay in my own nerdy sort of way. Pretty simple. Until it becomes...complicated.

Prince Niccolino is nothing like I thought he would be. He's real. He's honest. And he's hotter than Florida in July. He's everything a woman could ever want or need, and he's loyal to those he cares about and his country. But there's just one tiny problem: I'm no longer the virgin he needs to marry. I'd forfeited my opportunity for more with Prince Nic when I'd given away my virginity at the masquerade ball to a complete stranger. Could it be that I've finally found my Prince and my heart's desire only to have it torn away because of my one stupid indiscretion??

Like the first novella trilogy, Taken by a Trillionaire, these novellas are escapism fantasy. If you are looking for a historically accurate representation of a monarchy or a serious depiction of how royals maintain their bloodlines, neither trilogies are for you. If you love larger than life characters and fun storylines that take you to exotic places with sexy alpha men, then welcome to our imaginary kingdoms. The men are insanely rich, the traditions are potentially deadly, and the sex will leave you craving a night on this dark isle.
 








Available Now from Ruth Cardello

Prince Ballasare Stephan Demande needs a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he’ll lose his crown. Unlike their barbarian twin island, Rubare Virgina’s royal family is above kidnapping and murdering as a means of choosing their queens. Historically, they’ve cultivated their own selection, ensuring the purity and perfection of each. Prince Ballasare wants more, so he comes up with a plan. It’s genius really. He invites three hundred of the most beautiful and intelligent virgins from around the world to his island under the guise of attending a conference. Those who are willing to stay and participate in a series of tests are offered a chance to win one million dollars. He can only imagine the joy that the woman he chooses will feel when she discovers he and his title are the real prize.

Jessica Quincy is at a crossroads career wise. She hadn’t expected anyone to actually read her blog posts about her lonely life. She certainly hadn’t expected Virgin Territory to go viral. But who can stay a virgin forever? And what does a woman do when she’s no longer what she’s made a career out of writing about? She takes a risk, that’s what. Jessica attends a conference that promises to end with one participant winning a million dollars. Any ex-virgin could start over with that kind of money.
 She makes him laugh.
He scares, infuriates, and totally turns her on.


Unfortunately, on Rubare Virgina, being chosen by a sexy prince can have deadly consequences if you haven’t updated your blog.

 Taken By a Trillionaire

Three New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors.
One wild project.

Taken by a Trillionaire is an escapism fantasy that was born at a party at RWA. Over cocktails, J.S. Scott, Melody Anne, and Ruth Cardello laughed as they plotted this book with the help of two industry friends, Chris and Brian.

If you are looking for a historically accurate representation of a monarchy or a serious depiction of how royals maintain their bloodlines, this may not be the book for you. If you love larger than life characters and fun storylines that take you to exotic places with sexy alpha men, then welcome to our imaginary kingdom: Rubare Collina. The men are insanely rich, the traditions are potentially deadly, and the sex will leave you craving a night on this dark isle.

If you’ve ever fantasized about what it would be like to be swept off your feet—or tossed over a prince’s shoulder and taken—then you’ll enjoy our trilogy.

Novella One: Xander by Ruth Cardello 

Royal Prince Xander Demande needs to choose a wife before his thirtieth birthday, or he will lose his crown. His list of potential candidates is long but shortens to one woman after a brief encounter with the socially inept, but beautiful and brilliant, Dr. Reanna Fielding. She never thought Prince Charming would come for her. He never thought any woman would melt his heart. Love makes its own rules, but will it save her when she defies not only him but the laws of his kingdom? In Rubare Collina, a marriage proposal can be a dream come true—or a death sentence.


Novella Two: Bryan by J.S. Scott 

Get married . . . or die. Prince Bryan Demande was left with only two unpalatable choices. When he decides to take his chances rather than marry, his father and the busybody royal adviser take matters into their own hands.

Like it or not, Bryan is delivered a kidnapped bride, and it isn't a woman who's a total stranger. She's an American female who has haunted his dreams for the last five years, the only woman who has ever wanted him without his trillions of dollars or his royal title. Suddenly, marriage doesn't look like such a bad option to Bryan, but he'll have to convince his angry, kidnapped, bride-to-be that she belongs with him.



Novella Three: Chris by Melody Anne

Christopher Demande wants nothing to do with marriage and is willing to renounce his title to the throne to prove it. That is until he meets independent Adara Burnadette and decides he must have her. Unfortunately, Adara is opposed to marriages of convenience. So what does a young prince do when his chosen bride refuses his proposal? He kidnaps her of course.

Cursed Beauty (A Fairy Retelling Book 1) by Dorian Tsukioka

   We all know the Disney fairy tale version of Cinderella and her glass slippers.  What child doesn't?  But did you ever think that perhaps the story was a little bit off?  That maybe there was more to it?  Well, there is.  This novelette is another side of Cinderella that you've never seen before, but explains so much.
   Adelaide was born with a hideous birthmark scarring half of her face.  It makes her feel ugly and although people in the village where she lives have generally gotten used to it, they still whisper about it.  And she knows they do.  People won't even look her in the face when they talk to her.  Word is that she was born cursed.  Her mother died long ago of the pox, the same night that the younger Prince Julian lost his mother to it as well.  Her father had been off to the castle trying to save the queen when Adelaide's mother died right beside her.  The happenings of that night stayed with her for the next several years.  The prince had lashed out at her when his mother died.  He was mean to her and she had never forgiven him.  Now, several years later, he delivers the news of the death of her father.  While she grieves though, her stepmother, Celeste, seems cold and uncaring.  Due to her father's death, Adelaide is forced to become a servant in her own house.  During this time of readjustment, the prince tries to make amends with her by inviting her to the ball for his older brother's birthday.  There's no way Adelaide can go, for several reasons.  An old woman shows up with magic slippers saying she's her fairy godmother.  Even though she wears the slippers, there is a terrible price to pay to use them.  The price is much steeper than Adelaide is willing to pay once she has what the old woman wants.  After all, nothing is free.


   I love the retelling of this old tale.  Disney makes it into a wonderful, feel good story for kids to watch.  But let's be honest here: no one falls in love the first night they go to a ball and dance with a prince.  That's called lust.  This gives Adelaide and the prince a former history already that spans several years.  Not only that, but the poor girl has been deemed cursed by the community because of a prominent birthmark.  And then there is the fairy godmother.  Well this one seems kind of scary to me.  I also like the part Celeste plays in this.  Everything has its explanation and it is a somewhat disturbing tale.  It's short, and definitely not what you would call sweet, but it is a good retelling of it!

5 out of 5 stars!

Heir Untamed by Danielle Bourdon

   Chey Sinclair was all alone in the world.  She had no siblings and her parents had died in an accident several
months ago.  To make matters worse, she was behind on rent and if she couldn't pay it in the next two weeks, she was going to be kicked out of her apartment.  Chey had lost her job recently and was having trouble finding work.  She had been working with a photographer before everything fell apart.  But her luck was about to change when she met two men in suits who said they want her to come take some pictures for a very prestigious family.  Not just any family, but the royal family in Latvala.  It was on a whole other continent and she would be required to stay for four months to photograph the royal family, grounds, etc.  On the bright side?  She would be getting paid $35,000 for it!  Little did she know exactly what she was getting herself into...
   Once arriving in country, she starts to work immediately.  During her shoots though she only meets part of the royal family.  The crown prince was out of the country checking out a woman his mother wanted him to marry.  Chey meets the handsome Mattias and they become friends of a sort.  He is very attractive and has a commanding air about him.  He is second in line for the throne.  The women, on the other hand, seem to be snotty and entitled to say the least.  They treat Chey with no respect.
   While out riding on horseback on the grounds one day Chey meets a very ruggedly handsome stranger, Sander Fisk, head of security detail.  As annoying and irritating as Chey finds him at first, she also starts to enjoy his company.  They begin spending time together and he becomes a sort of protector for her when things start heating up in the castle and Chey is being threatened by someone within.  But nothing is ever as it seems, not even Sander Fisk.  Should Chey stay even though the danger is so very close?

"You're not the angels of death, are you?  Because that would really round out my day..."

   This book was absolutely nothing like I expected it to be.  It wasn't near as steamy as I thought, but not in a bad way!  It is a great story about a girl who is alone in the world, finding someone who she wants to be with regardless of how real the danger is.  It reminds me of one or two of Jane Austen's novels where there is a heroine, mystery, and a man that she inevitably falls in love with.  And you get all three in this book!  Chey is battling it out with the royals in a polite way so as to keep her job because she desperately needs the money.  Sander is an enigma, but one Chey definitely wants to spend time figuring out.  And even though she likes Mattias so much, she consciously makes the choice of who she really wants to be with.  The thing is that she makes that choice partially because Mattias is a royal and it would never happen between then.  The queen is basically looking for "brood mares" for her children so that they are insured heirs.  Let's just say Chey is not an ideal candidate.  There is a huge twist in the book that comes towards the very end that even I never saw coming!!
