Named an Outstanding read by: Simply Romance Reviews
Dr. Jason Tucker is not a happy man. He has just spent seven sexless days with his girlfriend of six years, Lisa. The only bright spots in his life were his very imminent break up with selfish and needy Lisa, and his patient and woman who made his body ache, Rayne. Jason brings Rayne to the Roseport Rehabilitation Clinic where he works after Rayne runs into the street in front of Jason's car one stormy night six months ago. Since Rayne has amnesia, she has no knowledge if she is married, seeing someone or has a family that's currently searching for her. Jason breaks up with Lisa but Lisa is not going to let the man that she has plans to marry leave her for a patient. Rayne just wants to know who she is and if Jason's feelings are as strong as hers. Will Rayne's past destroy their future or will Lisa make sure that Jason pays for leaving and embarrassing her?
With All My Heart was like taking a romantic stroll along a winding garden path; very satisfying. Ms. Rochelle has a very distinct way of captivating her readers attention from the beginning of her story and holding on until the end. The relationship between Rayne and Jason was a true romance that seemed to be a race against the clock. Neither knew if Rayne would recover her memories or if their relationship would continue after Rayne was released from the Clinic. In the beginning of the novel, Jason seemed very passive. He didn't seem to want to take matters concerning Lisa and Rayne into his own hands until he was pushed into making the decision. Rayne was just the patient who really didn't know how she should would have acted in different situations. She didn't get feisty until Lisa confronted her alone. Lisa thought that Jason should continue to bow to her since she had given his six years of her life. She was the woman that you never wanted anyone that you cared about to meet. This novel was definitely a palate cleanser and a recommended read.

Fairies and Elves in the future, Oh My! Political intrigue at every corner!
Who can you trust to help you survive?
In a fantastical future more than a century away, the world consists solely of the United States, America and Terrantoo, a magical world unlike anything Earth has seen since the time of Faeries and Elves in the middle. A plot to pair Marnie, a half dryad, with Jake, the heir to the American throne and Sam, Marnie’s half brother and half shapeshifter, with Cat, Jake’s younger sister, sends the four from the United States across Terrantoo to America.
Although the denizens of Terrantoo prove dangerous, family plots of the scheming kind, shared histories of wounded pride and mistrust, mutual attraction and sensual exploration that scorch the heart turn out to be the true threat to their peaceful, predictable lives. They battle Ogres, Harpies, Pixies, and Brownies as well as humans and Faeries, to survive while discovering new love and rediscovering old along the way. Magic and passion combine in this erotic tale of political intrigue in a time when fantasy and reality have come to occupy the same space.
Will love be the way of the future or just a thing in the past?

Tall and muscular, with green eyes and red-gold hair, the leprechaun offers a bargain. He will shorten her punishment to one night if she will give him either her body for his physical release or her soul to ease his loneliness. If she gives him her body, she may never be satisfied with the love of a man. If she gives him her soul, her life will be barren. She will become a ghost when she dies. She opts to give him her body.
Will a night of incredible passion with a handsome leprechaun ruin her chances for love with a mortal man?

Is the dragon more than Policeman Colley can handle or will she teach him to fly high?
Ryon Colley can't understand what's happening to his life. This morning he was a policeman investigating a potential hazard: a sparking, flashing, rainbow-spitting light show in the sky overhead. The source of the odd light appeared to be an unruly-haired blonde hellion, who couldn't figure out what normal was. Her radiant display scared him, but his physical reaction to it scares him more. By lunchtime he's gone from having coarse brown hair, to sporting a head full of blond locks—and from facing felons, to fending off thousands of voracious dragonflies.
Glynt has been sent to Earth to guard the dimensional gateways, but her arrival spawns nothing but trouble. Quite accidentally, she's summoned swarms of dragonflies, and lured in captors determined to return her—clearly a mischief maker—to her own world. Only Ryon—her gilded hero and the object of her newfound dreams—can rescue her from certain death.
Can Ryon keep the fire burning in her or will it fade out?

A grandmother’s last request, a mysterious old coin, and a heartfelt wish.
Armed with a mysterious package, Angelica travels to Scotland to fulfill the requirements of her grandmother’s will. The package contains an ancient coin and a letter telling her to make one wish. Angelica’s wish for true love sends her back in time and into the arms of a man who could make all of her dreams come true – if she’ll let him.
Excerpt :
The heat of anger in her eyes, and the edge of sarcasm in her tone put his teeth on edge. The fact that he knew his cousin was interested and he didn’t know if she returned his cousin’s interest bothered him. If he wasn’t careful, he’d lose her before he’d won her.
“Your Grace, if you point me in the direction of my room, I’m sure the seamstress will be waiting for me. As you noted, I need proper—or was that decent, clothing to cover myself with.”
Angelica’s formal tone and lack of expression while addressing him hit harder than he’d anticipated. The gleam that appeared in Ewan’s eyes at the discord brewing between himself and Angelica stopped him from uttering the apology he found ready on his lips to soothe the tension between them. “This way, Lady Angelica.” Duncan replied shortly, his irritation surging when she ignored his arm and stopped to offer Ewan her hand. “A pleasure to meet you, Lord MacHenry. I hope we have the chance to talk later.”
Ewan took her hand between both of his own. “The pleasure, Lady Richmond, was all mine. You have but to name the time and I will make myself available to you. But please call me Ewan. It is only proper if we are to get to know each other better, as I hope we will. Much, much better.”
“Very well, Ewan then you must call me…”
“Lady Angelica.” Duncan prompted, scowling towards his cousin. “And you must call him Lord Ewan, Angel.”
Angelica sighed, and turned to glare at Duncan. The annoyance showing on her face at being interrupted made him wonder if he’d already lost her.
“Lady Angelica, it is then.” He told her with a wink bringing her hand up to his lips.
“Now if you’ll excuse me, Lord Ewan. Your Grace, can you please show me to my room. I believe we need to discuss the details of my stay here, not to mention some rules!”
“Yes, we do.” Duncan agreed, following Angelica out the door past Ewan. “As do we, dear cousin.” Once Angelica was out of sight, he turned towards Ewan, fury plainly visible on his face. His fists balled at his sides to prevent himself from striking out at the younger man.

As she says farewell to her old pseudonym and hello to Anya Howard, author Desiree Erotique offers readers some of the best and newest ofher writings in the collection, Adieu, Bonjour.
“There was a time when Romance was a quest set in beautiful and unbridled lands, where the characters’ greatest succor came in the sublime awareness of the moment’s sensations and the will to succeed without heed to danger, conflict, conformity or the taboo. Today a Romance is a narrowly structured tale set against a background of danger and conflict that, conformingly, steers clear of all traces of the taboo.
And of these two, I believe the former more closely describes the adventure called love.”
