The Mershan brothers plot to take over the Montgomerie clan by seducing the sisters, while quietly buying up all the stock in the family's company, is finally in the final stretch. Trevelyn's focus on destroying the relatives of the man who ruined his life as a child is all he has concentrated on for as long as he can remember. For his part, Trevelyn has chosen Raven, the eccentric artist sister. However, to his dismay, he is more interested than he wants to be in her, and the fates seem to have a hand in pushing them together. He is unable to resist the powers- that-be to become her knight-in-shining-armor.

Raven Montgomerie is unlike the rest of her family with their designer clothes and fancy cars and reside in the large manor on their estate. She lives in the cottage by herself with her unusual collection of pets and her artwork, perfectly happy driving an old MG that runs only sometimes. For the past weeks, she has put all of her time and energy in a charity auction her family is putting on for a local orphanage. Now that the big night is here, she receives a unique fortune teller machine for a birthday gift, but the fortune it tells is confusing -- until a mysterious man becomes her saving grace.

The third book in this fabulous series is witty and sensual with laugh-out-loud moments that make it thoroughly enjoyable. Definitely a must-read!

A Wolf in Wolf's Clothing by Deborah MacGillivray

Summary

Revenge — that was Trev’s goal when he first set his sights on Raven. And a delicious revenge it would be. He and his two brothers had each selected a Montgomerie sister to systematically seduce and destroy, and this quiet granddaughter of his enemy was perfect. She lived simply in a cottage in the English countryside, a painter, and socialized only with gypsies and a menagerie of misfits: her fat orange tabby, her one-legged seagull and midget pony. And in addition to beauty, Raven had a delicious vulnerability begging to be exploited. Trev was happy to oblige. In fact, it felt like destiny.

Magic and fate have brought a self-proclaimed wolf to Colford Hall. He’s dressed in a designer suit, drives a Lamborghini Murciélago and apologizes for nothing. And though Trev doesn’t realize it, wolves mate for life.

Yet, when he meets her, he's unsettled by the feelings he has for her, especially since his goal is to get revenge on her family for the suicide of his father. With the help of Auld Souls and an amazingly lifelike mechanical gypsy fortuneteller, Trev's desire for revenge turns into desire for Raven. Yet how can he turn his back on the vengeance his oldest brother has spent a lifetime planning? (LOVE SPELL, Aug., 304 pp., $6.99) HOT —Susan Mobley

A Wolf in Wolf's Clothing Mershan Brothers - Book 1 Author: Deborah MacGillivray (Author Website) Genre(s): Contemporary - Romantic Comedy Review Date: 6/4/2009 ISBN: 9780505527813 Print Book Price: $6.99 E-Book Price: Dorchester Publishing -(Website)

SCORE: 4.25 / 5

Trevelyn Sinclair Mershan is one of three brothers who have a plan. Years ago their father committed suicide due to Sean Montgomerie causing the Mershan family to become extremely poor. Though Sean recently died, the Mershans are preparing to do a hostile takeover of the Montgomerie businesses. To get closer to the family, each brother is going after one of the Montgomerie sisters. Trevelyn is posing as Trevelyn Sinclair, a wealthy businessman who has decided to work out of the small town the Montgomeries live in. Raven Montgomerie is a divorced painter that lives on the edge of her family’s estate in a smallish thatch cottage. She shares her cottage with a couple of cats, a one leg seagull and a miniature horse. She’s content with her life and has no desire to date or become involved in the Montgomerie business ventures. The one thing she does do is attend a gala for orphans. As part of the decorations, Raven has lent her birthday present from one of her sisters, a mechanical gypsy tarot card reader. When she puts her coins in to see if its working, her card warns her to beware of a wolf. Raven’s ex shows up at the gala with his very pregnant new wife and starts by harassing Raven. Trevelyn comes to the rescue by appearing to be Raven’s late arriving date. Could Trevelyn be the wolf Raven was warned about especially when he calls her Red Riding Hood? Trevelyn finds Raven is more than a means to a goal but can he stop the plan that he and his brothers have already started? Are the tarot cards that Raven and Trevelyn connected to their lives or are they just a coincidence? What are these flashbacks that Trevelyn suddenly gets? Will love or family win out? This was such a fun book to read. The characters were very well done. The situations that they found themselves in were believable. The feelings expressed were perfect. The characters had depth. Raven and Trevelyn had interactions with their families as well as each other giving a very well rounded feel to them. They weren’t perfect people either making them easy to relate to. Raven’s large family played a significant role in this story and though there were lots of characters each had their own personality allowing readers to distinguish them from each other. Even the tarot card reader seemed to have a major role in the story and interacted with Raven and Trevelyn. Could she really predict the future? Who hasn’t had someone make them uncomfortable in a social setting or done something they wish they hadn’t? These types of situations are found throughout this story and they make the characters feel as though they could be one of us. Trevelyn is even allergic to Raven’s cats! These everyday fallacies keep this story real. Poor Trevelyn is being pulled between his growing feelings towards Raven and his loyalty towards his brother. He gets further stressed as his mother lies at death’s door and he needs to leave Raven behind and deal with his brothers. To add a little comic relief, Raven’s youngest sister is after one of Raven’s best friends, a very talented Gypsy. This was a fantastic story that I really enjoyed. Due to the way it was written, I’m assuming that this is not the last time that we’ve seen the Mershan brothers. It seems that Trevelyn’s brothers are having their own issues with Raven’s sisters.

Barbie and the Beast - howling good fun!

BARBIE AND THE BEAST

by Linda Thomas-Sundstrom

Publisher: Dorchester Publishing Company, Incorporated.        Pub. Date: March 2009
ISBN-13: 9780505528131
304pp

I followed this book in the American Title contest, rooted for it because it was so much fun!  Thus, I was glad to see Dorchester Publishing had finally picked it up and put it out so everyone could find how the rest of the book went.  It’s a charming, light-hearted story, one that gives you smiles to reach through your whole body to your heart.  I’ve been recently told by a doctor to laugh and smile often, that it’s vital to your health - so reading Barbie and the Beast is like taking a bottle of high potency vitamins.

Barbie, as you can imagine, has heard every joke there is about her name and tends to be a little touchy about that.  Especially a sore point - there is no “Ken” in her life.  She’s a tad uptight after a lifetime of ribbing, thus it’s highly unusual to find her trekking through Forest Lawn Cemetery for a singles party.  Yet, that is precisely what she’s doing.  She and her best friend, Angie, have made a pact to try anything to find Mr. Right.  Why not a singles mixer at graveside?  One minute everything is normal - well, as normal as one can expect in trying to find pick up dates amongst the dead and buried.  The next, Barbie finds herself picked up - and tossed over a man’s shoulder!  Being typically female she’d hoped to get swept off her feet, but not quite so literally!

Darin Russell is everything a woman might hope for in a boyfriend - and a bit more.  He’s also been looking for Ms. Right, and the animal in him is stirred by Barbie, so he makes his moves to claim her.  However, Darin has a few secrets he must reveal to Barbie that might see that “true love never runs smooth.” 

Ms. Thomas-Sundstrom gives you an intelligently witty tale, with sparkling characters and an absolutely fun read.  So do yourself a favor, read this book and give your health a shot in the arm!
