She wants to get all up in his business? She’ll have to get real personal.

Blackwater, Book 3

Brodix Jennings has a head for business, but his skills are put to the test when his brothers call on him to bring the family restaurant back into the black. With the grand reopening only days away, it’ll damn near take a miracle to keep the doors from closing for good.

Reporter Sarah Greer knows exactly what Brodix needs—free publicity on the front page of the town’s only newspaper. All she wants in exchange is the Jennings brothers’ rags-to-riches story. Except none of them are talking. And Brodix, who cuts a blazing path through her body with just a smile, is the most tight-lipped of the lot.

Brodix wouldn’t think twice about seducing prissy, buttoned-up Sarah into his bed, if her lousy profession didn’t leave him cold to the bone. A second look at the bar’s books, though, makes him think twice about saying no. But if he’s going to open the floodgates, it’ll be on his terms.

When Brodix asks her out, Sarah agrees, confident she can keep personal at arm’s length from professional. Until physical attraction melts their emotional barriers…and Sarah gets way more than she bargained for.

Breaking Brodix is another winner in the ongoing Blackwater series. These men work hard, but love even harder.

Five brothers come to the rescue of their adopted mom and try to save the family’s restaurant. Each have their own battles, each will find love, but only together can they find success.

This is the third Jennings man to find his way. Brodix is the money man of the brothers. He has a very successful career, but his heart is with his family and he works long and hard to stretch every dollar to make the remodel of the Blackwater Bar and Grill a success. Days from opening, they are tapped out and they still need to advertise. The only option open to them is a problematic reporter who wants to write their life stories. Past wounds may get opened, but to save the business Brodix is willing to take the risk.

Sarah needs to salvage her career. In her past, she trusted the wrong person and it put a big black mark on her resume. Now she is stuck writing filler stories and fluff pieces. She knows if she can tell the Jennings’ story it will help them with publicity and her career will get a needed boost. There is one problem, there is a skeleton in their past that is in her way. Another problem is from the moment she sets her eyes on the stubborn but handsome Brodix, she also wants his body, right along with his story.

They both need each other and they both know there is more going on between them. Will this interview mean the success of the Blackwater Bar and Grill? But more importantly, will this piece make or break Brodix and Sarah’s future?

Wow, these two are combustible! When a Jennings’ man falls, he falls fast and hard. I enjoyed this whirlwind romance, and my kindle couldn’t be happier. Brodix is sexy, smart and all man. Sarah is beautiful, savvy and independent. I enjoyed that they were both single-minded in their pursuit of each other, yet cautious. But once they touched, they knew exactly where they were going and they were going to do it together.

I have enjoyed this series from the very beginning. Ms. Rainey writes short stories extremely well. I am drawn in completely, yet satisfied at the end. That is probably one of the hardest things to accomplish when you have such a small window to do it in. There is no doubt in my mind that Ms. Rainey could have written longer pieces for all these men. She has some wonderful heroes between these pages. She does a fantastic job in her allotted time and I couldn’t be more pleased.

I also think when you read a collection of short stories that make up a series; the books really need to be read in order. While Breaking Brodix is definitely a standalone book, this series is best enjoyed in the order it has been written. Each of these strong wonderful men deserves their moment. After reading one of these stories, Ms. Rainey always has me rushing to my computer to find out when the next in the series will be released and then I’m depressed that I have to wait. Rest assured though, she is writing this series quickly and she doing it with style and quality.

Breaking Brodix is a fantastic addition to this sizzling series. If you like men with a strong sense of family and devotion and women who know what they want and how to get it, then you are going to enjoy Breaking Brodix and the Blackwater series.

Seth Pace, guitarist of the rock band Speed, is a born dreamer, and nothing stands in his way of making those dreams a reality. Except when it comes to band manager Luke Struthers. He’s everything Seth wants in a partner, but even after five years of perfectly explosive sex, Luke refuses to commit.

After a childhood ravaged by abuse, Luke knows he’s a potential danger to anyone foolish enough to love him. Seth is safer without him, but Luke has no idea how to cut him loose painlessly. Until he spots Seth’s kind of woman—pretty, smart, friendly. The plan: seduce her into a sexy threesome, then leave the two alone to fall in love. Problem solved.

A night of excitement with the two hottest men on the planet? Yeah, baby! Yet Kaz’s inborn ability to read auras tells her something isn’t right. It’s obvious Seth and Luke are madly in love, but subtle clues in Luke’s aura signal he’s up to something. She’s not sure what, but if she doesn’t do something quick, the two men she’s quickly come to adore will wind up without the happily ever after they both deserve.

Not even the best laid plans can withstand the force of love. Abused as a child, Luke Struthers is determined not to let his love for Seth Pace keep him from doing the right thing. In Luke’s mind, the right thing is to walk out of Seth’s life before he hurts him, not thinking how that will affect Seth. Singer and songwriter Seth Pace a.k.a. Jordan Speed is trying to convince Luke they are meant to be together, but sometimes it feels like he’s fighting a losing battle. When Luke brings Kaz backstage after a concert, she’s stunned but excited to meet Jordan Speed in the flesh. Before long, she’s seeing a lot of both men, but Kaz has a secret: she can see auras, and what she sees around Jordan and Luke is love. She also sees that Luke is struggling with something, and makes it her mission to bring these two men together. Can Kaz and Seth convince Luke he deserves the love Seth offers so freely? Can Luke open up about the past and finally let it go? Will these two find their way to a life together, or will Luke’s fears win out?

Colors of Love is the second book in Jess Dee’s Speed series, and it’s a well written and engaging look at the lives behind the scenes of a music star. I enjoyed Ms. Dee’s take on the world of music, and the passions that run beneath the surface of these people. The locations used for this were well thought out, and chosen with care by Ms. Dee to provide familiarity as well as providing a new venue for the band to conquer. The characters are well defined and attractive, and I was drawn to them quickly.

Luke Struthers is strong, handsome, and tortured by his past. Abused as a child by his father, he eventually fought back, but believes he’s a danger to those around him. His love for Seth/Jordan tears him apart, wanting him yet fearing he will destroy the very person he loves most. I found Luke to be the most compassionate man, deserving of so much more than he expected. Watching him become the man he was meant to be was a delight.

Karen ‘Kaz’ Flaherty is smart, sassy and ready for the change she sees coming. She has just made major changes in her personal life by quitting her boring job, and getting out of a dead end relationship. Her instant attraction to Luke, and then later to Seth as well, shows her a new side to herself, a side ready to experience more from life than she ever has. I like Kaz, with her adventurous spirit and her strange ability to see colors and auras around her. I appreciated that she goes into the situation knowing that this is just a temporary thing for her, and that she is looking for a way to help Luke find happiness and love with Seth, while she decides her own future. I like Kaz’s sense of adventure and romanticism, and her well grounded practicality in spite of her abilities.

Seth ‘Jordan Speed’ Pace is the guitar genius and lyricist behind the bands success, and he is determined, talented and smart. He knows what he wants, and refuses to be sidetracked from his pursuit of Luke. I liked seeing Seth and Kaz work together to help Luke see that his love will not ever hurt Seth, and I was caught up in the dynamics between the three main characters of this relationship.

Jess Dee has a way of bringing the reader into the story, and I experienced this from each perspective. The secondary characters, Kaz’s friends and the brothers, are as well defined as the main trio, and would be an asset to any story. I look forward to more from this world, and recommend this to those who like a hard won happy ever after for all concerned.

One late night leads to . . .

Kidnapped! When Jeanne Louise Argeneau left work, she never thought she’d end up tied down by a good-looking mortal. More attracted than annoyed, she quickly realizes there is more to her abductor than meets the eye.

One desperate act leads to . . .

Love? Paul Jones has need of a vampire, and only Jeanne Louise will do. He just has to convince this beauty of a Vamp to help him . . . never imagining that he would fall in love. But with the immortal world’s answer to law enforcement hunting them, their time together is running out . . . and Paul and Jeanne Louise will need to risk everything to spend an eternity together.

It’s not too often that an Argeneau gets kidnapped. Usually it’s done by bad guys and the result is never good. This time around it’s for a higher purpose and the lines between good and bad are blurred. Two wrongs usually don’t make a right but in this case they did; it also made for a great read and a fascinating story.

The conflict is powerful in this latest romance from Ms. Sands. It’s about making a choice and living with the consequences. The author did a masterful job of navigating all the emotional ups and downs between Paul, the hero and Jeanne Louise, the heroine. What started off hopeful and promising turned tragic on a dime and the fallout is what propelled the plot for a good chunk of the novel.

Paul was a desperate man. He was basically a good person, smart, sexy and highly intelligent. He was faced with an untenable situation and was doing everything he could to avoid it, to no avail. His last attempt before time ran out reaped unexpected benefits as well as unforeseen complications. He tried his best and he mostly kept his sense of humor but one realization too many left him with an uncertain and lonely future. I really felt for him. All the hero wanted to do was save someone’s life and it ended up costing him his happiness. I liked that he tried to brave it out because he knew if he didn’t, he’d lose everything. He was tender, understanding, loving and supportive to Jeanne Louise, but it wasn’t enough. Paul was a very easy character to have sympathy and empathy for. I liked his protective streak, his ability for commitment and the way he expressed his love to the heroine. He was a great guy.

Jeanne Louise fell in love twice in this story. It would have been the perfect fairy tale had everything that she planned and counted on worked out. Such was not too be. Watching her deal with her pain was a sad thing but I respected the heroine because not only did she deal with her pain, she tried to mitigate someone else’s. That takes a lot of heart and deep emotional strength to be willing to put oneself in that position.

Because the blurb didn’t mention the other main character, I’m not going to either. I made the discovery the same time as Jeanne Louise did and it made an indelible impact on me. I had no idea that this kind of conflict was going to carry the story and it alternates between sadness, happiness, awe and delight. This person is strong enough to bring two people together or rip them apart, so it was a very effective addition to the book. The love emanating from the pages whenever this character was on scene is unmistakable. It made the plot believable and added a layer of emotional depth that was hard to resist. It also created most of the light drama and suspense, unless Lucien Argeneau was on scene. That man brings instant paranoia and tension wherever he goes.

Speaking of Lucien, he’s not the only Argeneau family member to show up. Whenever they are around a reader can expect the unexpected as well as fun, laughter, great dialogue and interesting character interaction. It’s not all fun because the Enforcers have to play their role and in this book, one of them messed up. That being said, I am giving serious thought that one might, just might, have met his future life mate in this story. If so, that will be so awesome!

This wouldn’t be a complete story without some scenes of that shared loving that is intrinsic to new life mates and Ms. Sands didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed how the author managed to put humor into such passionate scenes because when she does that, it makes her heroes and heroines easier to relate to. Regular people experience learning curves when they have sex with a new partner, but it’s extra special between Immortal lovers.

Although I mentioned that previous Argeneau characters are in this novel, this book is a standalone read. It’s no hardship to follow the plot thread because it’s strictly focused on Paul and Jeanne Louise. However, readers of the series will understand the extent of the worry that Lucien’s very presence always inspires. Imagine Darth Vader with a fluffy marshmallow center. That would be Lucien. It’s very rare to see the fluffy side of Lucien Argeneau. Readers almost get to see it in this story. Watch for it.

The Lady is a Vamp is as touching and sentimental a story as it is sexy and exciting. Like real life, there is a smorgasbord of situations that draw forth a variety of feelings from a reader. Not the least of which is the sense of satisfaction that comes from a well written and complete happy ever after.

Ms. Sands has the reputation for writing wonderful and entertaining stories with characters that draw a reader in. The Lady is a Vamp continues the trend and is a keeper.

Collared and controlled, Shifters are outcast from humanity, forced to live in Shiftertowns. But waiting within are passions that no collar can contain…

Like most Shifters, Liam Morrissey has learned that trusting humans leads to no good. But when beautiful attorney Kim Fraser enters Shiftertown alone in order to prove her client’s innocence, Liam’s alpha nature leaves him no choice but to offer his protection.

Ever pick up a book just on a whim? That’s what happened with Pride Mates and that whim has turned into an obsession to find every single book in the series. I was ensnared by the way the hero, Liam Morrissey, viewed the heroine, Kim Fraser, in the first chapter and how quickly her life spiraled out of control. In her ignorance, she blithely went from the pan into the fire. My favorite thing is that she dragged the hero into the fire with her, making their relationship smoking hot. It was very fun reading.

Ms. Ashley created a new and vibrant world with Pride Mates and she did an amazing job of introducing all the new rules and regulations of this alternate United States in a very natural and smooth style. What struck me was the unfairness for the shifters. The author must have researched deep to get the details down to the degree they were. Reading about all the restrictions on shifters gave me a claustrophobic feeling and I didn’t like that. Neither did the shifters, which means the writing clearly got the point across to a reader. They were treated as less than second class citizens and faced prejudice at every turn. It was very sad, and it made me angry too.

I liked the mix of magic, the disinformation and misdirection that the shifters had to employ against humans, and their secrets. Secrets can be a good and bad thing and for the purpose of this story,

Ms. Ashley had some of her characters privy to some very bad ones. It’s those very nasty secrets that set the wheels in motion and pushed Kim into the fray.

I enjoyed Kim’s character. She is stubborn, determined, invested in seeing justice done and has ideals and beliefs that justice should and would prevail. She has the moxie to stick by those ideals making her someone to respect but by the same token, makes her a target by people who have no intention of justice seeing the light of day. That is one of the main plot conflicts in Pride Mates and it’s fascinating to watch unfold. It’s good that she’s well educated because everything she’s learned, everything she fought for to get where she was in life, was going to be tested in a most profound manner.

Kim’s fortitude is severely tested by hunky, Liam Morrissey. He’s the go-to guy for shifters and there’s a reason for that which is revealed towards the end of the book. The big reveal was quite exciting and a real page flipper. Before that can happen, however, the hero needs to do a lot of re-thinking about his life, his goals, what’s really going on and also had to face divisions of loyalty. It’s a lot to carry on one’s shoulders but the author created a very capable character that I enjoyed getting to know. One of the best parts was watching him get flustered over his attraction to Kim. He’s very torn because he’s shifter, she’s not, and he’s not sure what to do about it or even what he can do. The whole process of falling in love was quite entertaining. Liam resisted as best he could, as long as he could but eventually, as with all good alpha heroes, he succumbs to the inevitable. What man can resist a healthy dose of lust?

The evil plot came from an unexpected source and what it turns out to be will have lasting ramifications for future books in the series. In this installment, it ramps up the violence quotient so there is a lot of drama and intensity to the telling of the story. Suspense, fighting scenes and tension are well written so a reader is in for a gripping tale. During the down times, other well written scenes include the physical passion between Kim and Liam. I looked forward to those parts because they were emotional and full of feeling, not to mention, quite steamy and satisfying. There is a secondary romance percolating between Liam’s father and their neighbor. Not sure where that one is going but it provided an interesting family and community element to the novel.

As for other secondary characters, I liked Liam’s brother, Sean. Tall, stoic and handsome, the poor guy’s job is a buzzkill for romance. It’s going to take a special kind of woman to be able to bring a smile to Sean’s mouth and a twinkle in his eye and I can’t wait to read the next book because it’s about him.

Ms. Ashley’s talent in creating him and the tease at the end of this story insured an auto-buy for Sean’s story in Primal Bonds. I’m so excited!

Pride Mates is a sure pleaser and a must read for fans of paranormal romance. It’s sexy, hot, exciting and populated with wonderful, well drawn characters. The plot made it hard to put down and the saucy relationship between Liam and Kim made the book a joy to read. It has effective and gritty dialogue when a scene needs it, with sensual teases and genuine humor lightening up the flow allowing a reader to get to know what makes the hero and heroine tick. Ms. Ashley has world built an amazing and rich background for her characters to play in and readers are in for a treat when they pick up their own copy. If this is the quality that I can expect in the next book, then I’m going to be a happy camper for a long time because there is a ton of possibilities for this series, and I can’t wait.

Princess Bria Visconti demands the return of the money her brother rashly invested in Cutter Salvage. Treasure hunter Nick Cutter is too reckless, too arrogant—and far too handsome—for his own good. But he can’t charm his way out of this one. Bria plans to make Nick pay up even if she has to board his boat, don a wet suit, and dive for the treasure herself…

Nick sees Bria as a beautiful but spoiled princess who’s never done a day’s work in her pampered life. But once they set sail for the dive site, and the legendary fortune in gold the wreck carries, Nick begins to see Bria in a new light. This princess may be out of her depth, but she’s ready to take on the hidden danger and excitement a treasure hunt stirs to the surface. Together they must fight unexpected enemies—and reveal their darkest secrets—before they’re pulled into a rip current of danger.

Seekers of adventure, treasure hunting, intrigue, double-crosses and high seas romances can’t go wrong with Riptide. This high impact tale is told at a speed that made me breathless. There is so much going on, so many nuances that taint a simple relationship with tension, mistrust and high stakes, it’s amazing the hero and hero had time to fall in love.

Nick and Bria, right from the very first chapter, were at odds with each other. Of course one of them didn’t know it at the time and when the other found out, it wasn’t a warm and fuzzy moment. That pretty much sums up this whole reading experience. It’s not cute or silly or lame. It’s hard edged, gritty, dramatic and suspenseful.

The only people I could trust in the story were the names Nick listed plus the heroine. He was never too sure about her. I’m pretty sure it’s not because she gave him ammunition to feel that way. I certainly didn’t pick up on any anything she did or said to give him that impression. It’s because the hero reacted so icily to Bria, so in control and arrogant to an almost inhuman degree that clued me in that when he eventually did succumb to Cupid’s arrow, Nick was going to go down hard. And he did, and I loved every wonderful and explosive moment of it. For a man whose nickname is Spock, he was more volatile than Kirk or Scotty at their most stressed.

Bria is quite the mixed bag of contradictions. She is polished, clever, sweet and sassy and has one heck of a raging temper when she lets fly. Of course the only person that inspires her to let it rip was Nick. He pushed her buttons big time. I was entertained at her temper tantrums because I never knew what she was going to do. I giggled at her decorating, laughed out loud at her verbal profanities and got a kick out of her penchant to throw things. Another aspect of her character I appreciated was her training. It was nice to see a regular woman being able to defend herself and not fall to pieces in a crisis without having to credit some super secret spy agency.

Oh, the super secret T-FLAC agency does give a cameo performance but they were not as impressive as they’ve been in the past. The goobers. For all of their access to fancy and sophisticated technology, they didn’t discover the very intricate and well thought out evil plot when it would have done the hero and heroine the most good. And, when Nick needed their help, something never seemed to go right. For this adventure, Nick Cutter has to rely on his own brains, wit and alpha tendencies and ended up partnering with the last person he’d ever expected to, Bria. What fun.

More amazing surprises were in store for me with the revelation of a secret identity. It was bittersweet and the timing couldn’t have been worse but Ms. Adair knew what she was doing. The introduction of this person means that a future book is going to be an auto-buy for me. There is no way that there won’t be a story about this, it’s awesome.

Another thing I liked was the dialogue. I loved seeing Nick’s paranoia rationalized. I enjoyed Bria’s determination and internal pep talks to out ice Nick’s Spock demeanor and fire him up. There is not one scene that didn’t work for me, not one chapter that was slow or weak. Everything that happens does so for a reason and the result is a masterful bit of mystery, treachery and grand storytelling.

Riptide is a pulse-pounding read that thoroughly entertains and provides a stunning and satisfying happily ever after. As soon as Bria steps foot aboard Nick’s boat, the Scorpion, the action never stops. Readers will be hard pressed to put down the book. Every chapter has a hook that won’t let go, compiled with revelations and suspicions that can keep a reader wide-eyed and riveted. This is the kind of story that can make time cease to exist. The adventure is that good. The romance is that wild and I had a grand time discovering the truth. Pick up a copy and see for yourself.

Black Knights Inc.—Behind the facade of their tricked–out motorcycle shop is an elite special ops team assigned the jobs too hot for anyone else to handle.

Hold On Tight…

Ex–Marine Nate “Ghost” Weller is an expert at keeping his cool—and his distance—which makes him one hell of a sniper. It’s also how he keeps his feelings for Ali Morgan in check. Sweet, sexy Ali has always revved his engine, but she’s his best friend’s baby sister…and totally off limits.

Rough Road Ahead

Ali’s never seen anything sexier than Nate Weller straddling his custom Harley—or the flash of danger in his eyes when she tells him she’s in trouble. First something happened to her brother, and now she’s become the target of a nasty international organization. With Nate, her life is in the most capable hands possible—but her heart is another story altogether.

Edgy, raw emotions, graphic, often horrific, descriptions of man’s inhumanity to man, and the breathtaking, joyous love scenes celebrating life make Hell on Wheels throb with life. Carefully placed in among these extremes is the gentle, sweet humor of a kindergarten teacher and the caustic humor of the black ops people that gives the story a touch of normalcy when evil threatens chaos. Woven together all of these things make bold and subtle designs in a tapestry that reveals much about each of the intriguing characters. Also in the design, the dark thread of death is ever present.

Even though off-putting at times, the cryptic, often crude language seems to be a coping devise that many of the characters use to get past the incredible horrors they have dealt with and will continue to deal with to help make the world a little safer.

Time and again the petite kindergarten teacher, Ali Morgan, wonders whose life she’s living as she’s mugged, bugged, and tailed. It’s certainly not her own quiet life. In desperation she runs from North Carolina to Chicago to seek the help of her dead brother’s partner when the police do nothing to help her. She stays the mild, gentle little person everyone sees until push-comes-to-shove then the black ops people see her cupcake façade covers a tough-as-nails determination and abilities to fight that her brother Grigg had taught her as she grew up. She’s no pushover. However, she has few defenses when it comes to Nate Weller. Her heart just won’t give up on him even though his surliness toward her is like a ‘no trespassing’ sign.

Nathan “The Ghost” Weller had been Grigg’s partner in clandestine missions for years and he’d been in love with Ali since the first time he saw her when she was still in high school. But she was and is totally off-limits to him. The tough, battle-scarred Nate now carries so much guilt about Grigg’s being dead and his being alive he feels he must stay away from her. It’s not easy when she shows up with a hair-raising story that has all the markings of being tied to Grigg’s activities before he died. Nate’s surly attitude, he uses as a defense against her, weakens as they work to unravel the mysterious happenings that sent her running to him for help. Her sunny, happy nature brings light to his dark world.

The secondary characters ratchet up the action as they each do their job to unravel the mystery. Ozzie, the computer geek with an off-beat sense of humor, makes life interesting for all besides being a mighty force in getting the information needed and getting it with breakneck speed. Of course, he’s not above thoroughly enjoying checking Ali’s luggage for bugs, especially her interesting lingerie—which WAS bugged.

The intrepid Rebecca “Rebel” Reichert with her many talents and her unrequited love for the ‘older’ Frank Knight “The Boss” creates some high tension. She also reaches out and touches the reader’s heart when she feels crushed by Frank Knight’s hard-nosed response to her special hopes and dreams (hope there’s a story about these two forthcoming)

The antagonist and his henchmen create suspense that revs up the adrenaline to a fever pitch. The power-hungry senator seems to have no redeeming qualities. His self-centeredness and craving for power is incredible. How he finally gets his comeuppance is SO satisfying.

Julie Ann Walker’s writing style hooks the reader’s attention from word one and never lets it go. The incredible descriptions of emotions, places, actions, and people put the reader right with the characters so that every one of the senses is on alert. The humor sparkles–even the dark humor sparkles like a black diamond that has many facets and secrets. Moreover, the love scenes are breathtaking, earth-shattering and, yes, exquisite-like coming home. Yet, while she mesmerizes with an entertaining story, she creates compelling situations that seem like current events one might read about in the daily paper. The undercurrent of the never-ending struggle to keep intact the freedom we all enjoy and so often take for granted makes Hell on Wheels a fantastic novel.

ALL FEAR THE ENEMY OF OLD

Driven by his insatiable need for revenge, Lothaire, the Lore’s most ruthless vampire, plots to seize the Horde’s crown by offering up the soul of his lovely new captive, Elizabeth Peirce. Yet the young human soon tempts him beyond reason.

A DEADLY FORCE DWELLS WITHIN HER

Ellie Peirce’s life was a living hell—even before an evil immortal abducted her. Though he plans to sacrifice her, the vampire seems to ache for her touch, showering her with sexual pleasure. In a bid to save her soul, she surrenders her body, while vowing to protect her heart.

CENTURIES OF COLD INDIFFERENCE SHATTERED

In one month, Lothaire must choose between a millennia-old blood vendetta and his irresistible prisoner. Will he succumb to the miseries of his past . . . or risk everything for a future with her?

This book should be called “How to Fall in Love with the Bad Guy Everyone Loves to Hate” because that is what this amazing and nail biting romance story is all about. As much of a loathsome, power hungry, arrogant and cruel man Lothaire has been in all the previous books in the series, this time the love story is epic because it ends up redeeming a character that was thought to be irredeemable. The almost insane vampire falls head over fangs for a woman possessed. Doesn’t that sound awesome? Believe me, it is.

One thing that surprised me the most was how romantic and sweet Lothaire ended up being, which is saying a lot because all the other tales in the series were all romantic to one degree or another. However, I found them to be dark and sort of mired in violence so reading them hasn’t been a comfortable experience, especially the last few. That’s why, when I picked up Lothaire I was a bit wary because I had gotten to know how vicious and deprived of a moral compass his character had been and I was sure that there’d be even more violence and darkness in the book. Ms. Cole could have knocked me over with a feather. Despite the blood thirsty nature of Lothaire and the initial villain, Soroya, the book wasn’t nearly as dark and depressing as it could have been. In fact, it was full of warped humor, funny dialogue between Lothaire and Elizabeth and amazing loving, once they got to that point.

The story is told in Lothaire’s point of view and Elizabeth’s. My favorite is the hero’s because finally I got to understand what formed him, drove him, warped him and tortured him. In a few cases the torture was literal. Poor guy, he really was misunderstood. The thing of it is, he preferred that, fostered it and made everybody around him miserable because it was a form of power and protection. You can’t be hurt if you had no heart or sentiments to injure. And that’s why I loved Elizabeth. She eventually got through his shields and the hero had his world turned upside down. He tried to remain as he was but the heroine, just be being herself, twisted him up in knots. It was the absolute best reading experience because she frustrated him, fascinated him and turned him into a mass of raging hormones. It was fun!

Lothaire might not be the enemy in this book but he has plenty of threats to deal with. Soroya was a scary and demented character. When she got her comeuppance from a very unexpected source, it was a freaky scene. The bargaining chip worries me. If that person is truly as evil as depicted, the Lore has a new worry and I’m almost afraid to contemplate what that will mean to the characters I’ve come to know and love throughout the series. I wish I could talk about this openly with other readers because the possibilities are mind boggling. Then again, it might be Ms. Cole being clever and introducing a new story thread to breathe new life into the series. If so, she succeeded. The one major hint that excited me was Lothaire’s decision to help Phenix. The author has mentioned the subject quite a few times in past books but this is the first time that it sounds like a decision has been made. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

The relationship between Lothaire and Elizabeth is contentious. She likes to talk, he doesn’t. She wants to understand, he doesn’t feel the need to explain himself. He commands, she butts heads. He expects her to turn her back on her past, and she fights to keep it and grab for more. There is so much internal angst and yet the author handled it so well, it was entertaining and fascinating. I especially got a kick out of the scenes with the sword, the head, the heart and the finger and the ornery dog. How they make this story great has to be read to be understood. It was awesome. I was equally horrified and snorting with shocked humor. Ms. Cole’s characters sure know how to make a statement. Oh, I forgot the Mothman. I’m still giggling over that line.

Most surprising was Elizabeth’s family. What a wonderful addition to the cast of characters and their role is integral in solidifying the hero and heroine’s relationship into one that will endure, much to Lothaire’s consternation. In fact, the epilogue filled me with glee. Ms. Cole injected very human demands and expectations into the royal mix and created an optimistic, delightful and extremely satisfying happy ever after that even now has me grinning ear to ear.

Lothaire is the best of The Immortals After Dark series. This is a book I can brag to all my friends about with utter confidence that I’m recommending a story that will keep them on the edge of their seat. There is so much going on and each chapter reveals new hooks that simply astound and amaze. Whether it be the twisted nature of the villain, the revelations of Lothaire’s young life or the convoluted path of true love for Elizabeth and the hero, the author succeeded in surprising me at every turn and made me want to read more, more, more! I’m exceedingly happy that I read this novel and any fan of this series has something to look forward to when they pick up their own copy. I firmly believe that this can be considered a standalone read, but reading about the characters that came before and Lothaire’s role in them would greatly enhance the sheer pleasure of seeing the villain turned hero as he did in this book. I’m a happy reader.

TOGETHER. THEY CREATE THE MOST POWERFUL MAGIC OF ALL …

Romulus and Remus are sexy werewolf cousins with an unbreakable bond. When they meet beautiful goddess Amity and save her from an encroaching demon, they discover that the three of them together are way more powerful than any of them could ever have imagined. And they’re going to need that power to overcome the forces that are determined to steal Amity’s magic and destroy the two men. As different as night and day, and each an amazing man in his own right, Rom and Remy make all of Amity’s deepest fantasies come true …

A goddess sandwiched between two hot men who would do anything to protect her, anything to love her and everything to convince her that theirs is a relationship worth fighting for is only a small part of this exciting and steamy romance by the very talented Ms. Julian.

Amity is a goddess of old but with a very modern and important job as a medical aesthetician. So much has changed in her long life and in this book, it gets a whole lot weirder, not to mention dangerous. It’s not all drama and suspense though. Hunky Rom and Remy are a wonderful distraction for the heroine and at first, that’s all they were. The author presents the heroine as a woman not afraid of sex, but one who embraces it, enjoys it and is able to generate power from the event – eventually. Getting there is half the fun. But Amity is so much more and I enjoyed getting to know her.

Speaking of fun – Ms. Julian cracked me up with her nod to one of my favorite movies, The Princess Bride. I love the author’s sense of humor and it is brilliantly showcased at strategic points throughout the story. Even when the plot is at its most suspenseful and dark, Ms. Julian balances the negative conflict with sass and courage using brisk and snappy dialogue that keeps the action flowing at a good clip. That same talent for description and verbal foreplay makes the relationship scenes between her, Remy and Rom seriously delicious and well worth reading a time or two or three. It might be a good thing to have the A/C on high.

It’s not all fun and sexual hijinks, however. There are problems that are inherent in the dynamic of a threesome. Jealousy, assumptions of one’s place in the relationship, miscommunication or stubborn silence verging on martyrdom, all of those issues take turns mixing up the internal angst. I enjoyed how the three of them eventually solve it. I also liked watching how they worked through it while at the same time trying to build a relationship on top of trying to survive this latest attack by Charon, the villain, and a big scary demon. It certainly kept me flipping the pages from chapter to chapter.

Another thing I liked about this book is the author took her time in letting a reader know her characters. The cousins, Remy and Rom, have deep emotional pain, sadness and regret, not to mention a healthy dose of vengeance and retribution to dole out to their enemy. I got a sense of their determination and steadfastness to their cause. I also liked that for the first time in many years, they have hope and it all stems from meeting and falling in love with Amity. It was beautiful yet poignant to see them start to live again. Of course, the crisis and drama that comes before that can happen made for great reading.

As for the villain, Charon, Ms. Julian never does what I expect her to do because I ended up feeling sad for the bad guy! In fact, there’s a hint that perhaps he’s not truly evil, vile and unredeemable but in fact is as tortured a man as any tortured hero I like to read about being saved. Can Charon be saved? Only readers can decide if what I read can be interpreted that way. It certainly is food for thought.

And Sal is back! I like that man-goat. He cracks me up but what was even funnier is both Remy and Rom’s reaction to him. That was a great bit of writing. Add in other secondary characters from previous books and a reader is in for some fun times. I was greatly entertained how the author introduced the new characters to the previous stars of the series. It garnered excitement and furthered the action in the tale. Not only that, but it was great hearing about them again because I loved their stories when they were on center stage. Goddess in the Middle is a standalone read, no question about that but it’s an extra nice treat for readers of the series to see some old friends.

Goddess in the Middle is filled with all my favorite things. It’s a terrific story that has suspense, a bit of intense action, great dialogue, funny moments, and steamy scenes that are so hot the sheets cry ‘uncle’. Amity, Remy and Rom are wonderful together and when they are, it’s magical. I enjoyed the plot twists and surprises, and their verbal exchanges that alternate between sweet, sassy and naughty. I’m also thrilled with the fact that this series has more to offer fans in the future. I look forward to reading about Amity’s sister, Kari. Ms. Julian presented a great hook toward the end of this story, so much so that her next one will be an auto-buy for me. Every book so far in the Forgotten Goddesses series has been a winner. Goddess in the Middle continues the fine tradition of awesome and gripping storytelling with a saucy grin and a wink of mischievous fun while delivering a completely satisfying happily ever after. It’s a book not to miss.

“A refined gentleman, age 25, of wealth and education, seeks the acquaintance, with a view to matrimony, of a high-minded, kind-hearted lady who prefers an evening of quiet conversation to the lively demands of society.”

Edwina Hargrove knows that this “gentleman” was, in fact, Ashton Trewelyn, a rake notorious for seducing the young and naive. In fact, five decent women have already been tricked and bundled off to the continent for scandalous purposes. There was a way to thwart his scheme though—by shadowing this devilishly handsome Casanova and warning his prey.

If only it were that simple. Wounded and weary, Ashton Trewelyn returns home to London from the King’s Royal Rifles, but soon discovers a coded message that has implications to the Crown and his family. His only hope to unravel the mystery lies in the enigmatic Edwina’s ability to recognize patterns. Even as he leads her on a path of secret societies and risque temptations, he discovers she arouses his jaded soul with temptations of her own. Must they risk everything to decipher Casanova’s code?

There’s the saying a tiger can’t change his stripes, but what if he does?

I hadn’t taken the time to open a book by Donna MacMeans until I nabbed a copy of The Casanova Code. Let me say here and now, I was so wrong to wait this long. I snickered, cheered, and at times wanted to toss the book across the room. Why? Because I got so wrapped up in the characters! I did. I sat down to read this book planning to take in two, maybe three chapters, then get some other things done. Before I knew it, more than an hour had gone by, along with over half the tale. The writing flowed so well, I was stuck fast in my seat needing to know what would happen next. I felt like I was right there with them and couldn’t get enough.

Why would I want to throw the book if I liked it so much? In every great book, this being no exception, there are times when the characters do things that seem… odd. As much as I wasn’t sure I’d like Ashton, the hero, I did. I loved how he evolved through the story and grew into his own. That said, there were a few moments when he made choices I didn’t agree with. That’s a good thing! He kept the story lively. Then there was Edwina. There’s a line Ashton’s father says, ‘whatever happened to good old-fashioned names, like Mary or Rose?’ That line really fit. She wasn’t an average girl. She kept reminding everyone she was a ‘modern woman’. I give her credit – riding the bicycle, free-thinking in a time when women were expected to wed and produce children… she had it all. Yes, there were a couple of times, neither I’ll go into detail on as to not ruin the story, where I wanted to shout ‘why are you doing that’ and yet, I understood. I got great insight into the times they lived in.

There was one detail threaded through the story that gave a new twist on the historical. The Japanese Pillow Books. Again, I won’t go into a lot of detail as to not ruin the story, but these books were white hot. A reader not expecting a sexual topic within the story might be taken aback by the theme of sexual object, but be assured, Ms. MacMeans handled the story arc with flair. It’s a great addition and I liked it.

If you want a book that will stick with you long after the last page, then this might be the book you’re looking for. I recommend it highly.

She wanted experience. He has 150 years’ worth!

Guys don’t tend to find gals with guns too sexy. So after years of awkward fumblings, deputy Shelly Lancaster is lookin’ for a man . Not for love—good Lord, no. She just wants some hot, heavy and unforgettable sex with a man who knows exactly what he’s doing!

As it turns out, Shelly’s just found the perfect guy. Cowboy Colton Braddock is tasty as hell—and one of the perks of being a vampire is that he has years of hot, lusty loving under his belt. Unfortunately, this cowboy also has a wicked thirst for vengeance. But will it prove stronger than his hunger for her?

This romance has the perfect bite!

I’ll admit right away that I’m a sucker for Kimberly Raye’s books. Yes. I love her vampires and when I got the chance to nab this book, I jumped. This book is part of a series and yes, I’ve read the others, but I didn’t have to in order to know what was going on. The writing was tight and flowed well, drawing me right into the story. And yeah, the sexy cowboy vampire didn’t hurt one bit.

This book grabbed me from the start. A want-ad with sexy connotations and one glaring mistake. Shelly’s name printed right on it. Oh and her email, too. Yeah, what a way to begin a novel. I loved it. She wanted to let go and experience a man with experience. Interesting premise, especially for hot romance–it’s usually a story arc reserved for erotic romance. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a sweet romance by any means. It’s hot and when Shelly and Colton really get going, they steamed up my glasses. I liked seeing the other characters from the previous books in the series. This also looks like it could be a wrap up of the series, to which I beg Ms. Raye to continue anyway. Did I mention I love her cowboy vamps? I sure do!

If you want a book that’s got lots of heat, a sheriff willing to offer her body to one scintillating vampire and a guy with fangs (yes, he knows how to use them), then this is the book for you.
