Romance Titles: This Never Gets Old

Every time the library gets a new batch of ebooks, I start to giggle.  Okay, this one is a quiz.   Which one am I making up? (I swear to God, two out of each three are real.)

1) Book titles: who did what?
   A. Led Astray by a Rake
   B. Taken by the Devil
   C. Twice Tempted by a Rogue

2) Series titles: there's more than one of them?
   A. The Wicked Temptress Trilogy
   B. The Wanton Dairymaid Trilogy
   C. The Stud Club Trilogy

3) Place names: I want to go to there.
   A. Kiss River
   B. Gossamer Ridge
   C. Satin Hollow

4) Sounds like/might be an '80s power ballad.
   A. Take Me There
   B. All I Need
   C. Against All Odds

5) Title and summary, all in one.
   A. Stranded with Her Ex
   B. Love and Danger in a Highland Castle
   C. Rancher's Twins: Mom Needed

I hope you don't get tired of this game, because I never, ever, ever will.  I'd offer a prize if you guessed right, but I don't trust you not to use Amazon.  Also, it's entirely likely that my made-up ones really exist.  And now I'm really tempted to start reading Lady Drusilla's Road to Ruin.

(PS. I hope no one things I'm mocking the books.  It's the titles that are so much fun!)

Not to ruin it for other commenters, but you are wrong on EVERY COUNT. Each of these is a real book. I couldn't make this stuff up!

3) a
4) b
5) a

You have some right, but several wrong as well!

I did make up Satin Hollow. I did not make up Stranded With Her Ex.
