Into Her Fantasies (The Cimarron Series #3)

Speechless. I. Am. Speechless. ok not really, because I HAVE to rave about Into Her Fantasies! This series just keeps getting better, and I dont think its over! YEAH Us! Lucina and Shiraz turn the whole opposites attract idea on its head. The ultimate California bachelorette and a reclusive underestimated prince? What could possibly go wrong? The insta-love between these two is more like insta-explosion of conflicting emotions that cant be denied. Shiraz is a natural Dominant that has not yet explored his abilities or desires and has compensated by pouring himself into a political post that stifles his soul in order to serve his country. Lucy is a vibrant, intelligent woman who has settled for less than she desires in an effort to be normal. Both are looking for a passion in their life that they didnt think would ever come along. I love this trope! Although the read is a little heavy on Lucindas awkward sarcasm and random pop culture references (just a personal opinion, I know the author loves that stuff!) it doesnt detract from her understanding of what getting involved with Shiraz could mean and her internal dialogue demonstrates how much she struggles with her own insecurities as well as desires. Unfortunately, Shiraz isnt the best at vocalizing where his head is at. Good thing he knows how to show it! While he seems to take his immediate response to Lucina to heart, he still has his own uncertainties to work out. The chemistry with these two is off the charts! And while there is a solid emotional backstory of Lucy and Shiraz having a role in the greater Cimarron family saga, there is a focus on their growth together that was touching and honest. This is a character driven read that gave depth to the series that I didnt even think it needed, but thank goodness for it. And just enough angst and drama from the Arcadian populace to keep it all very interesting. I need a drink! Or just my own Shiraz Cimarron!

I fell in love with this series and the Cimarron family as a whole from the very first page of Into His Dark, and with each successive story I fall in love a bit more.

The world is intrigued by the last remaining Cimarron bachelor, the gorgeous and sexy Prince Shiraz, who is fiercely private when it comes to discussing his personal life. American wedding planner Lucy Fava is a full fledged member of the Prince Shiraz fan club and she is about to have the opportunity to get up close and personal with him for the next week as she pitches her companys proposal for the dual wedding celebrations of his brothers to the very man who controls the kingdoms finances. Nothing she has read and no pictures she has seen could possibly compare to the intensity and insanely gorgeous reality of the man who stands before her in the palais when she arrives though. Lucys rambling inner monologue as her thoughts took her on a dirty-minded tangent had me cracking up laughing as she struggled to form coherent professional sentences rather than blurting inappropriate insights into her thought process, but fortunately the prince didnt seem to mind.

Shiraz is a man who takes his duty to his country and people very seriously. He is a natural born leader and protector although his daily duties do not often make those traits apparent. He also feels a bit undervalued by his brothers who do not seem to realize he is is no longer just their kid brother but a man of many skills and talents beyond accounting and finance. They have also turned away from the long standing traditions of his people and have infuriated the Pura by claiming their happiness with the American women who stole their hearts leaving Shiraz as the countrys last hope to recognize a royal wedding including an Arcadian bride. He is far from happy at that thought but is resigned to his duty until that duty is threatened by desire when his world suddenly clicks into sharper focus as a beautiful and sassy American wedding designer lights up his world and presents him with everything he never suspected he would want.

Lucys sass definitely intrigues him and her irreverent comments are a refreshing change from the masses who rush to bow and kiss whatever body part they feel will get them the farthest. She doesnt hesitate to challenge him on so many levels and he finds himself responding to it in a way that neither of them imagined which in turn terrifies Lucy. She has always hidden her slightly darker desires and kinks, but this man sees directly into her soul and not only recognizes them but revels in them despite his inexperience. Men she has dated in the past have made her feel inadequate or freaky for her needs, but Shiraz fully supports and celebrates them. Too bad his countrys hopes rest on him marrying another woman despite the fact he has not proposed or even kissed her in all the years he has known her

Into Her Fantasies was an amazing read that I absolutely loved! The story is engaging and fast paced as Lucy and Shiraz battle some sizzling chemistry amidst a raging Mediterranean hurricane that traps her on the island for much longer than expected. She came to the kingdom in a strictly professional capacity but she never anticipated connecting with the island and its people so strongly, much less finding everything she ever desired in a man in a prince of the realm. She is well versed in helping others find their HEA, but when it comes to her own, her self doubt and feelings of inadequacy threaten her future happiness. Oh and did I mention how freakin hot this story is? Holy Shiraz, bring on the ice and a lot of batteries or time with your significant other because the prince of panty melting will have you seriously swooning! Familiar faces from the prior two books play an integral role, especially Prince Samsyn, and I loved getting to know a little more about the Cimarron Princess Jayd as well as Shirazs trusted secretary Crista who becomes a fast friend to Lucy. This series continues to win my heart with each new installment and I absolutely cannot wait for more!

This book is so good . It will have you crying one minute and hot and bothered the next. The love that Shiraz and Lucina share is what every woman dreams off. The passion they have is great , I was so glad when they both told each other that they loved them. It made my heart melt. I was glad glad she finally accepted his proposal . They make a great couple. The part where the storm hits and the kids are missing was so scary . I was glad they were all okay . They all come together in this book . Camellia becomes pregnant and has a baby shower . It is such a great story. Everyone should read this. I love Angel she is such a talented writer. This book will stay with me forever.

Good Lord, I want a Prince like Shiraz! Isnt every little girls dream (okay, big girl dreams too!) to one day meet her Prince – the man who just knows her every need and fantasy? Who may not be perfect, but is perfect for her? Well, Lucina found her man in Prince Shiraz Cimarron, thats for sure!

This is the 3rd book in the Cimarron series and it does not disappoint! Im drawn to every single character Angel writes – they are flawed, beautiful, sexy, imperfectly perfect. Lucy and Shiraz are 2 people who are simply made for one another. They each wear their emotions and hearts where we can all see – into their hearts and their souls.

Shiraz has an intensity that belies the deeply unwavering heart of a hero. Lucina is an emotionally fearful woman who has built walls of self-doubt around her heart. Together they learn to trust, dream and love one another and fulfill each others fantasies.

I can never get enough of Angels writing! Her characters come to life through her words – their pasts, their dreams, their struggles, all of it comes through with each syllable she wields with her powerful proverbial pen.

Another work of Angel Payne Art; each stroke she creates brings life to the canvas and her brilliant words shows us the masterpiece of her brilliant words.
