RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Nicola Marsh’s TWO WEEKS IN THE MAGNATE’S BED is a feel-good romantic tale of self-discovery and acceptance—aboard a gorgeous cruise ship! Fast-moving and fun, this story pulls an unlikely couple into unusual circumstances, finding love and passion amidst their closely-guarded secrets. Well-written, wonderfully engaging and steamy enough to heat even the chilliest evening, TWO WEEKS IN THE MAGNATE’S BED is the perfect escape from ordinary life!

Lana, a museum curator who has convinced herself she’s lacking in some very important assets, wins the trip of a lifetime aboard a cruise ship. While she’s intelligent and successful in her career, Lana’s social life is non-existent. Determined to change all that, she packs her bags (filled with her cousin’s sexy shoes!) and heads for the ship. In a matter of minutes, she’s fallen into the arms of a hot sailor and, without any further ado, embarks on a journey toward self-discovery and growth. Zac, the gorgeous on-board hunk, has a very large secret he’s guarding but he still finds the time to wine, dine and dance Lana through the days and nights of their cruise.

Nicola Marsh never disappoints this reader. Her heroes are sexy yet human. The same can be said of her heroines. And I love the way her settings are described in such detail as to come alive on the pages. She writes passionate romances but never skimps on the emotional elements of a story. I was particularly touched by the way Zac reassures Lana she is in no way lacking—despite what she has been led to believe.

Well done!
