Dear Reader

I'm still recovering from my busy two month Invitation to Romance blog tour, and trying to catch up on my writing. I hope you all enjoyed the tour and I think you'll have to agree the fabulous guest bloggers I had were awesome. They were so kind to give away copies of their books to commenters!

I'm busy finishing Henry St. Giles, the Earl of Cravenswood's story.  To Challenge the Earl of Cravenswood is book three in my Wicked Wagers Trilogy due out late August. Henry is one of those rare rakes that is desperate for love. He's not after a passing fancy. He wants the all consuming, heart thumping, bone melting, meeting of souls LOVE. I'm having such fun writing his story. I normally write about unrepentant, hang-on to their bachelor ways, rakes. Henry is a breath of fresh air compared to Harlow and Marcus, my two heroes in the Wicked Wagers Trilogy, books one and two.

Speaking of the Wicked Wagers Trilogy, I got some amazing news late June that requires  me to give more thanks to reviewers and readers!

They say an actor lives for the applause, well writers live for the readers' reactions to their books and I've had such a positive response from everyone for To Dare the Duke of Dangerfield (book one, Wicked Wagers).

To Dare the Duke of Dangerfield is a semi-finalist in the Kindle Book Review Best Indie Romance Book of the year 2012. The winner is announced on 1 September so I've my fingers crossed. I'm not sure how they pick a winner but reviews and sales might help.

Thank you to everyone who bought the book and thanks Kindle Book Reviews.

Here's the blurb in case you haven't been tempted to read Harlow and Caitlin's story.

Let the Wicked Wagers Begin...

Lady Caitlin Southall’s temper has finally got the better of her. She’s challenged Harlow Telford, the Duke of Dangerfield, the most notorious rake in all of England, to a wager. She wants her house back. The one her destitute father lost to Dangerfield in a card game. But if she doesn’t win their bet, she not only loses her home, she loses her dignity and pride and damn it all, maybe her heart... For the handsome Duke has decreed, when he wins, she must spend the night in his bed.

Harlow Telford is amused by his hellion neighbor, Caitlin, or Cate to her friends, who seem to encompass everyone on earth except him. When she bursts into one of his private gatherings, he mistakes her for the entertainment. Her slap across his face sets him straight and raises the absurd desire to seduce the unconventional beauty into his bed. When she issues her daft challenge to win back her father’s pile of rubble, the terms are set.  And he’ll do anything to win—except fall in love...

It was my week for wining- now all I need is a lotto ticket, hmmmmm

At RomCon in Denver late June, my debut Regency romance, Invitation to Ruin Kensington Brava March 2011,  WON - yes I have to say it again - WON - the RomCon Readers Crown Best Historical 2012.

One Good Lady is About to Go Bad...

The only thing Miss Melissa Goodly has ever wanted out of a marriage is love. But any hope of that dissolves one wild night, when she loses herself in the arms of the most irresistible-and unobtainable-man in all of England. For when they are discovered in a position as compromising as it is pleasurable, she has no choice but to accept his proposal.

Avowed bachelor Anthony Craven, Earl of Wickham, never meant to seduce an innocent like Melissa. Yet now that the damage is done, it does seem like she'd make a very convenient wife. After all, she is so naive he won't have to worry about ever being tempted. Or so he thinks, until the vows are spoken and they are left alone-and his new bride reveals a streak just as brazen and unrestrained as his own...

 And at the begining of July both To Dare the Duke of Dangerfield (book one in the Wicked Wagers trilogy), and Invitation to Scandal - Kensington Brava May 2012,   where given a Top Pick review by Night Owl Reviews.

 Invitation to Scandal, has also received a Top Pick from The Romance Reviews.

"INVITATION TO SCANDAL is historical romance at its best! Bronwen Evans writes a tale of love, betrayal, honor and strength, and it kept me riveted from beginning to end."

Her secrets are coming undone...

Plagued by scandalous rumors, Rheda Kerrich will stop at nothing to restore her reputation and make an honest living for herself-and she's determined to do it without a husband. But times are hard, and smuggling is a risky though profitable trade. So when a dashing agent for the English government catches her in the act, she desperately resists his charms and conceals her illicit profession. Until she realizes he may be the key to her ultimate freedom-and unbridled passion.

Rufus Knight, Viscount Strathmore, has never had trouble beguiling the ladies of Kent. When his search for "Dark Shadow," a cunningly elusive smuggler, leads him to alluring and headstrong Rhe, her objections to his amorous advances merely incite a tantalizing game of cat and mouse. Soon, they'll find the very secrets driving them apart could ensnare them in a love they can't escape…
