Red Magic by Juliet Waldron
Red-headed Caterina von Velsen, a tomboy and superb
horsewoman, detests her older sister's husband-to-be. Christoph von
Hagen is handsome and brave, but he is also a Casanova, a man with a
reputation that stretches from his mountain manor all the way to
Vienna. When Caterina’s older sister dies in a riding accident only a
week before her wedding, Caterina is forced to take her place. She now
belongs to a man she firmly believes to be “a cold-hearted rake.”
There
is magic in Christoph’s lonely mountain home, as well as in the locket
Caterina’s aunt gave her long ago. Misunderstandings and
preconceptions hinder the coming of true love, as well as the strange
attraction she feels toward her husband’s magnetic, foreign horse
master. Set in 18th Century Germany, RED MAGIC tells the story of a young woman’s transition from rebellious girl to adored--and adoring--wife.

A Double Opposition by Janet Lane Walters
Liz Jordan’s life is hectic. With twin sons who have never known their father, a new job and her reliable sitter moving to Florida,
she has no time for live. Her new job allows her to move her boys from
the city to a safer environment. At least she hopes so but an older
neighbor boy brings trouble. Add widower Alex Carter, neurosurgeon and
the hospital’s most eligible bachelor and the problems escalate. Can she
afford to admit she’s found love a second time? Can he when he believes
his first marriage was perfect?
"A
Double Opposition is an enjoyable read. The author has nicely weaved in
the hospital nursing staff dynamics. When I read about Dr Alex's
undecipherable handwriting and his pushback to use computers, it bubbled
up for me fun memories and laughter. Alex's habit to "speak first, then
think", not understanding women from his Mars lookout, and the energy
of the 9 year old twins is reality. I am going to buy more of Janet's
books." ~ 5 Stars, S.C., Amazon Reader and Verified Purchase

Jaci Eastman is inadvertently
drawn through time to 1874 when she photographs a restored carousel. She
lands at Wildwood horse farm and must rely on the good graces of its
owner, Nicholas Westbrooke.
Nicholas is a man who likes routine, but Jaci unwittingly
shatters his illusions about women, passion and love. She tells stories
of flying machines and teaches science to his niece. She's outrageous in
her dress, manners and language, and yet he finds her irresistible.
Jaci has always believed only reality can be photographed.
But then she falls in love with Nicholas. When he begins carving the
exact horse that transported her through time, will she use it to return
to the present, or stay and create a new reality?
"Wow. Double Wow!
Carousel is an outstanding book…I loved that when the passion got
intense between the two, Nicholas never forgot his honor as a gentleman
with Jaci." ~ Cheryl, 5 Angels and Recommended Read by Fallen Angel Reviews
"Barbara
Baldwin just put another keeper on my bookshelf. Jaci is independent
and just what the strong, sexy, and oh so enticing Nicholas needs. I
loved this book! Sexy and the romance is steeped deep so that you fall
in love with her characters and can't help but cheer for them." ~Simply Romance Reviews
