Jaycee Manz has been on the run since her sixteenth birthday. After growing up fast and depending on no one, how is she supposed to handle three male werewolves who claim to be her mates? Can she learn to trust them or will she continue to run?

Dane Glassgo, alpha of his clan and a special ops commander, specializes in tracking. He’s waited for the past two years to claim his mate. Nothing or no one will stop him from claiming Jaycee, not even her fear… Pierre LeBlathe, brother to Remi and bonded mate to Dane Glassgo, knows his time is limited with Jaycee. But he is bound and determined to stop anyone from hurting her…

Mark Glassgo shares alpha duties with his elder brother, but when Dane finds his mate, Jaycee, he is shocked to learn she is also his mate. What he didn’t count on was that he was also mate to Remi LeBlathe… Alpha Remi LeBlathe, one of the most powerful weres in the country, has always protected what is his. When Jaycee comes into his life, mayhem erupts around them, but Remi is used to mayhem and uses it to his benefit. In seeking those who would harm his mate, Remi must learn how to listen to Jaycee’s needs and desires…

Together, all four try to find peace, and the most powerful alphas in the U.S., Remi, Dane and Mark , declare war on anyone who stands in their way of claiming their runaway mate. But can the independent Jaycee be claimed? In this sizzling werewolf menage story, love, lust and power take center stage in the struggle for ultimate survival.

Jaycee has finally found her mate. At least that is what she thinks. Dane the alpha of his clan has come to claim her as his mate but as things progress it seems that there may be more than one mate for Jaycee. Three men lay claim to Jaycee as their mate – but will she be able to trust any of them? Each one is different in his own way and Jaycee loves them each.

Dane and his brother Mark are both Alpha wolves – different in many ways, yet they both love their mate. Remi an Alpha from another wolf clan finds that he too is Jaycee’s mate. Each of the men may love her, but it is hard for them to show it making Jaycee feel more like a toy than a mate. Jaycee is a strong woman who has been through and endured so much in her life yet she keeps picking herself back up and trying again. I enjoyed reading about the tentative relationship that builds between the three as well as watching Jaycee come into her powers.

This book is a very intense ride. The characters, especially Jaycee, go on a roller coaster ride of emotions. If you are looking for a sweet story where the heroine meets her hero and they live happily ever after – then this may not be the book for you. Jaycee goes through a lot of pain in this story and she has yet to resolve it all. Since this is book one I can only hope that the following books will give the reader that happy-ever-after that Jaycee deserves. I enjoyed this book but I would caution readers that it is a very intense read including some deaths of prominent characters, references to the abuse and rape of a younger Jaycee and some harsh sex scenes as well.

Trinity Blacio does a great job of bringing the readers into the world of the wolves. Jaycee and her mates are great characters and I cannot wait to see how their story concludes.

When Jack is attacked by a powerful werewolf one moonlit night, his world is forever changed.

Marcus is that wolf, the strong leader of his pack, who never imagined a mere mortal could ever escape him, much less ever become one of his kind. And yet, as time passes, he can’t deny the handsome human is slowly beginning to change.

No longer the civilized architect he used to be, Jack feels a new power coalescing inside of him. He barely even recognizes himself as he becomes more sexual, more impulsive, more wild in every way.

But as the bite transforms him, it also binds he and his attacker together forever. The two share a powerful unbreakable link, no matter how forcefully they may each try to deny it. Marcus is already hiding secrets from the other wolves, and his position as Alpha is threatened. Could Jack be the new ally Marcus needs to set things right, or will their desire for one another draw them away from all they know and alter the course of their lives forever?

This is the werewolf story to read if you are looking for grit, dark desires and a rough and tumble type of plot.

This book follows Marcus and Jack. Chapters take turns being in first person POV for each of them. I got to see that being the Alpha for Marcus is hard and he tries to enforce rules that were in place before him. He doesn’t like it but it’s all he’s known. Those very same rules reinforce his loneliness and I felt it wasn’t fair at all. Why should a man be denied love just because he doesn’t follow the status quo? Because I think they’d shred and eat the poor guy, alpha or no. How does a man fight against that?

Jack is a human that gets bitten. He has to face losing who he was and try to fit into Marcus’s world. The thing is Jack has a lot more integrity and feelings than Marcus is used to. Jack is a man who always wanted to please a lover and this new ferocious passion within him threatens that consideration. He wants to survive because, in turning werewolf, he’s found something special to fight for. He has a lot to learn and I felt bad for him too. Once he got over his initial denial stage, he was willing to try. It takes a lot of courage to do that.

The conflict isn’t only about facing the change going from human to something other. It’s about betrayals and about staying true to oneself. It’s also about standing up for what’s right and being aware of someone else’s feelings and then sticking up for them, no matter the price. It’s a bad turn of events when a person Jack thought he could count on ended up not being what he thought. Before we talk about infertility, let’s look at the factors that can boost up the risk are:- Pregnancy Diabetes Unhealthy eating habits Menopause Important things to keep in mind that this medicine isn’t for all. viagra canada pharmacy Manufacturing levitra generika 20mg and selling duplicate drugs is an offence however it is also true that some people make counterfeit medicines using inferior quality material for profit. In case official store cialis without prescription you find any delay in getting the delivery, they won’t hesitate in cancelling your order and proceed with checkout. Some babies levitra without prescription spit out food first few times, which is completely normal. It was not only a shock for him but me too. I never saw that coming and it saddened me. It made for great drama and it packed a powerful punch but I still felt bad for Jack. Poor guy.

The secondary characters are, as far as I’m concerned, all jerks. I think they believe they are superior and righteous and therefore above humans. I personally believe all of them should become area rugs. I didn’t like them, I think they were all bad guys and I’m amazed Marcus had the ability to keep any form of decency or ability to recognize a higher moral plane after being with them as long as he had. It made me respect Marcus’ character more.

The romance between Marcus and Jack is rough, passionate and very hot. There are some other combinations of sex earlier on that read like just what they are, lustful primal urges with no emotional connection. It’s not that way with Marcus and Jack and that’s why it works so well. There is a clear delineation between the two. The author did an excellent job of that.

On the whole this book was intense. Pack of Lies is not for a reader looking for lighthearted fluff. It’s dark; it’s violent and has a very real feel to it. I liked Marcus and Jack and although the ending has them together, I have a feeling it won’t be an easy road. I hope Ms. Vaughn gives me a chance to revisit these two guys again because I want to read another installment with the hopes that there will be more reasons for both Marcus and Jack to smile. In this book, they’ve earned it. Now I want to see it. The writing was done well enough for me to care. I believe other readers would feel the same and I recommend reading it to find out.

Hungry for Your Love: An Anthology of Zombie Romance Edited by Lori Perkins

Hungry for Your Love: An Anthology of Zombie Romance Edited by Lori Perkins

In the pages of HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE, the very first zombie romance anthology ever, you’ll find romantic stories about loving a zombie, love stories between zombies and a tale of love and lust during the zombie Apocalypse. There are funny zombie stories, a zombie story that will make you cry, and even a few that might make you blush. We have zombie noir and zombie paranormal romance. You will be amazed at the scope of zombie lovin’. There’s something for everyone in this star-studded collection, including stories by New York Times best-selling authors John Skipp (writing as Gina McQueen) and Brian Keene.

The best part about themed anthologies is the challenge it creates for the authors to stay within the theme set before them and I can’t think of any greater challenge than creating short stories about Zombie Romance. The sheer, wonderful weirdness of the concept attracted me. There are some incredible stories in this anthology, which I wish I could have rated separately, but essentially the stories fall into several main categories: the zombie apocalypse, zombies among us, zombies integrated into society, zombie as human love interest, and the traditional Caribbean stolen-soul zombie. I’m going to try to pick the best of each group here.

As a disclaimer, I want to mention that I think I may not have had the final version of this anthology. Some editing still seems to be missing. No cover art was included (which disappointed me, I truly wanted to see that!) and there are far more stories here than in most anthologies, with twenty-one stories. A more selective picking and choosing would have alleviated some of the feeling of repetition and would have made a tighter, more compelling group of stories. As it stands, the reader will be hard-pressed to remember all of them.

Of the zombie apocalypse stories, unfortunately, many followed too-familiar paths. There have been so many movies and books on the theme that, by now, the sub-genre has fallen into predictable patterns, clichés that are a bit too well worn. There was one exception:

Last Times at Ridgemont High by San Francisco resident Kilt Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick revels in taking bits of pop culture and twisting them into pretzels, and this darkly funny story is pressed from that mold. With a non-traditional but resourceful hero, a high school full of zombies (who were just as dangerous to our hero before the apocalypse erupted) and a non-traditional romance, which is definitely not the one the reader expects, this is a roller-coaster romp through the necessary elements of the genre.

In the ‘zombies among us’ group are the stories that contain zombies as an agent of menace, but not to apocalyptic levels. Some of these were too dark to be called romances, others simply failed to say much new or intriguing. There were some gems here, as well, though:

Inhuman Resources by Jeanine McAdam plays upon the feeling many office workers have of feeling like inhuman zombies stuffed into grey boxes, and takes it to its extreme conclusion, turning the office workers at this insurance agency into actual zombies. Darkly funny, with an interesting budding romance to boot.

Some New Blood by Vanessa Vaughn isn’t dark comedy as much as it is dark irony. I won’t give anything away except to say it’s beautifully paced and written in such a way that the reader is led from one thing to the next with growing anticipation, and then left chuckling at the end and feeling very guilty about it. Smart couples viagra super active do not let their relationship be affected from any kind of negative element, while other couples are just unaware with what they lack to turn their relationship into perfection. Let us look into three characteristics a woman needs for a fulfilling experience in sexual activity, and what goes wrong in these cheapest tadalafil to cause discontent. 1. If you are looking for a good viagra sales france online pharmacy where not only women can get solution for their problem of sexual dysfunction but at the same time, there are also very high chances that you get relief as soon as possible. Night Fire capsule relieves you from the sexual problem, he may not be able achieving or keeping best prices on cialis erections healthy enough for pleasing sexual intimacy.

The ‘zombie as human love interest’ grouping had authors making some of the most interesting choices. When it’s all said and done, this is the hardest route to take. Love with a zombie just sounds icky, but with some adjustments in mythos and world building, several proved it could be done well.

Later by Michael Marshall Smith – Perhaps the most poignant story in the collection, this one is simple: a tale of deathless love and acceptance of one’s mate no matter what happens. Well-written and bittersweet, this was an excellent choice to end the collection. Always end an anthology on a strong story.

I Heart Brains by Jaime Saare – The hero isn’t technically a zombie by the story’s end, though not technically living his original life either, but this is a solution that was original and worked for me. With sympathetic characters and engaging dialogue, I was more than willing to suspend a bit of disbelief here.

Through Death to Love – Another sweet zombie tale (I can’t believe I just said that) where the relationship is one I would never have considered: zombie and his speech therapist. In the end, it’s a short, well-constructed piece about a sweet soul trying to adapt to a world in which he doesn’t quite fit in. Which of us can’t identify, or at least empathize, with that?

Of the zombies as part of society group, there were two outstanding, very different pieces:

Revenants Anonymous by Francesa Lia Block – Part tongue-in-cheek irony, part cautionary tale, part true romance, this story about two people who meet at an RA meeting says as much about modern life as it does about zombies. Letting one drab day melt into another, walling ourselves off emotionally, never reaching outside ourselves, we may all be going to RA meetings soon.

Eye of the Beholder by Stacey Graham – At first glance merely a black humor piece about two people who are, quite literally, falling apart. There is an underlying message regarding what love is willing to accept even when society is not that I found quite touching.

Finally, we have the traditional zombie, where a sorcerer has stolen the person’s soul. There are only two stories I can place here, but I enjoyed both of them:

Undying Love by Regina Riley – Not quite traditional, since the zombie’s heart has been cut out and held by the sorcerer rather than just his soul, but without it, he can’t die. The story unfolds for us slowly, why this happened to him and the terrible consequences of his actions. A poignant and beautiful story told through the eyes of a cynical young woman who finds that, perhaps, she’s not as cynical as she thought.

White Knight, Black Horse by Mercy Loomis – The only true traditional zombie story in the collection, in the sense that it concerns the old practices, complete with the loa and bokors. This is an immersive and exciting story told from the zombie’s POV, a young man who abandoned his training as a houngan, a voodoo priest, for the lights of the big city. The narrator’s voice is so consistent, the telling so beautifully done, that the reader feels in the moment with the characters. This was my favorite story in the collection, no question.

The answer to the question, can zombie romance work? Yes, in the hands of some inventive, imaginative authors, it can. I know, it sounds rather grotesque at first, but some of the solutions writers have devised and some of the plot lines contained in this anthology have made me a believer. Give zombies a chance.

Once upon a time. As children, those four words told us we were about to enter a brand-new world: scarier, happier, more enchanted than our everyday life. No matter our own particular expectations and experience with fairy tales, we knew we were in for a wild ride. Handsome princes would save beautiful damsels in distress and the ogres never got the girl.

Perhaps in our own stories, or in our own lives, we aren’t quite satisfied with those happily-ever-afters. What sound-minded prince would choose any of those airheaded bosomy blondes that populate familiar animated versions of the original, much darker, and more ominous tales made famous by the Brothers Grimm?

Not to mention, fairy tales were often used as bedtime stories.

Well, put all that behind you and prepare for a new type of fairy tale. Not only are they guaranteed to get you into bed. though not for sleep, you won’t find a single of those old-fashioned stereotypical characters.

Instead enter a world where a magic cock ring can grow into a mighty peenstalk, or an unhappy shepherd can meet the sexiest wolf imaginable. A Japanese youth with the strength of a bear finds himself weak in the face of a beautiful samurai, and a young man in a ball gown can charm a prince to distraction. These are but a few of the adventures that await you, once upon a time!

Anytime E M Lynley appears as the editor of an anthology, the reader is assured of two things: a well-balanced collection and short stories that won’t disappoint. This collection is no exception. A good mix of humor and tenderness seed this collection of M/M fairy tales, mostly re-workings of familiar standards but all with the necessary elements of the fairy tale – romance, conflict and magic. Since there are nine, stories (a good, strong magic number) it’s an easy task to touch on all of them:

Jack and the Peenstalk: While I often smile when I read funny stories, it’s rare to find one that has me audibly laughing. This Clancy Nacht gem had me in stitches with its satirical take on the evils and ennui of modern life. It’s not merely a bit of humor, though. There’s a sweet love story here as well, giving us hope for the possibility of redemption for even the most selfish slacker.

The Rebelliously Single Prince: While this piece has some dark humor running through it, this is a more serious story dealing with expectations and intolerance. There are familiar elements, but Lenore Black has constructed an original fairy tale here, with no direct folk/fairytale parallel and it packs a bit of a punch, both poignant and ultimately triumphant.

Cry Wolf: A pookah story? I thought. Hooray! The pookah (or pooka or pucca) is one of my favorite Celtic folk denizens. One didn’t used to see many pookahs in romance or erotic fiction, but they have begun to crop up in delightful variety. Unfortunately, this is one of the weaker stories in the collection. While it’s well-written and an interesting take on the Boy Who Cried Wolf, the ending is a bit scattered and not entirely satisfying with the sudden introduction of new elements.

Kintaro: A rethinking of several Japanese fairy tales (ah, variety!) especially the Peach Boy, S. J. Depending on their needs, the addicts can opt for medicines cialis active that are instantly effectual for the same. Poor circulation may also lead to nerve damage, reduced blood circulation to the genital area, and hormonal changes. see to find out more cialis professional australia This condition is widely known as ED viagra soft or Male Impotence. All it takes is one comment full of links to viagra low cost sites and you could affect your search engine results. Frost does a lovely job with setting and character for a short piece. Sweet and sensual, detailed and well paced, this is perhaps the most romantic (in a traditional romance sense) tale in the group. Touching and beautiful, I loved this one.

Ashes and Crystal: A marvelously inventive retelling of the Cinderella story, Jason Rubis dares us to think differently about the traditional fairytale heroine. To say too much more would be giving it all away – this story alone is worth the price of admission.

Handsome and Grateful: Kilt Kilpatrick always writes with a wicked sense of humor. This tale is no exception. Before anyone bristles about children in erotic stories, this Hansel and Gretel are innocent but quite definitely of age. Hilarious, with a good portion of pop culture thrown in.

Swan Made: Gorgeous, gorgeous story, set against a backdrop of modern despair. A man living a grey life of quiet desperation finds passion in the most unlikely place. His inability to face what his visitor truly is nearly costs him the love of a lifetime. Of the serious stories, this one, along with the Merman’s Tale, was the most emotionally engaging and heart-wrenching.

King’s Honor: A nice take on the Twelve Dancing Princesses, it resolves a nagging fairytale question. I’ve often wondered myself why anyone would be interested in such selfish princesses, only interested in their own pleasure. Since it’s a M/M story, of course our hero couldn’t be less interested in the princesses, but his motives are more complicated and there is a bit of a surprise at the end.

The Merman’s Tale: Since this evokes the Little Mermaid, I had some trepidation over reading this one. After all, Andersen fairytales are often tragic rather than happily-ever. Never fear, gentle readers, all will be well. Jay Di Meo tells his haunting merfolk tale with pathos and sympathy, a story of overcoming cultural fears and ingrained biases in a search for love in a cruel world. A good choice as a last story to leave readers with. This strong, poignant piece would have been hard to follow at any rate.

E M Lynley has done it again, putting together an anthology of intelligent, well-selected pieces from authors of widely ranging voices. It might have been nice to see a more widely ranging cultural mélange as well but the balancing of humor and sensitive love story, of the erotic with the romantic, more than makes up for it. This is an exploration into human sensuality and longing well worth the trip.

Bad girl Becca Shaw likes her men hot, hard and temporary. But when Dillon Phillips, lead guitarist of an up-and-coming Nashville band, moves in to help her make rent, what starts off as a simple financial arrangement soon gives a whole new meaning to “staying in” for the night.

Rebecca “Becca” Shaw is a love ‘em and leave ‘em kind of girl, except there is no love involved. Becca’s dysfunctional family background has made her decide love is for saps, and she is no sap.

Independent and always in command, Darcy Sherwood holds her own among the cads and rakes who frequent the dubious gaming hall where she works. When she has the opportunity to exact revenge upon the man who wronged her sister, she intends to provide the arrogant Baron Broadmoor the biggest set-down of his life…by requiring him to be her suitor.

But when the Baron begins to play his role too well, can Darcy resist falling for the man she’s supposed to hate above all others?

Radcliff Barrington, Baron Broadmoor, has no intention of quietly submitting to Miss Sherwood – even if she does hold the deed that could ruin his family. He intends to turn the tables on Miss Sherwood. She must surrender the deed or surrender herself…
Passions flare to erotic heights as Darcy and Radcliff struggle to see who will submit to whom. And all bets are off as to who will win…

A game of cards has never been so naughty…or so nice. In Force My Hand, author Em Brown has presented a wickedly delightful romp that jump starts the heart and gets the blood pumping.

From the start, you’ll recognize the hero and heroine are two of a kind. Each want something from the other–which either refuse to relinquish–so it’s a good thing neither mind partaking in the added incentives provided by the wagers that follow them into the bedroom. The sex scenes positively sizzle and burn and the BDSM elements will keep you squirming in your seat. But what I enjoyed most about Force My Hand is that Radcliff and Darcy are unapologetically flawed. He wants revenge; so does she. He’s unwilling to bend or crack, and she’s determined to break him, even at the risk of her heart. There was no specific difference in the quality of erection. buy viagra This davidfraymusic.com viagra free herbal supplement is manufactured using pure plant ingredients.

She’s cocky, she’s brash, and she’s demanding. Then, in a reversal of power, Radcliff gains the upper hand and takes the reins. He’s equally domineering, and expects her total surrender. They engage one another mentally, physically, and emotionally. And it makes for one hell of a story.

Aside from a few editing errors here and there, the work is well-written and flows at a nice steady pace. I loved the characters, the plot, and the circumstances that have shaped and molded the protagonists. Sometimes Radcliff and Darcy will seem heartless, but when you get a full-on view of the person beneath the cleverly crafted façade, you’ll appreciate them all the more. Even the ménage is carefully constructed so that there is no dirtiness in the act, but rather, an intense desperation to claim and possess.

Force My Hand is a story erotic/romance fans are sure to enjoy. Be sure to pencil this story into your TBR list.

Lady Isadore Harrington is a well-bred English lady. She’s traveled the world in search of magickal artifacts to help her people and has seen the best and worst of humanity. But she’s never taken time for herself-never done just for herself. Going to Philadelphia as the magicker emissary between England and the Americas, she intends to rectify that.

Then she meets James Blackthorne. Tall, handsome, witty, commanding, he brings out feelings in her she’s always wanted to experience but never has. He makes her want him, makes her forget all else but him. Virginal, but far from naïve, Isadore is tempted to experience everything James has to offer. Cautious by nature, she offers her body to him and discovers all her sexual desires fulfilled.

But the magicker world is far from safe, and Isadore is threatened from many who are jealous and distrustful. Temptations abound, but treachery is never far behind.

There is trouble in Philadelphia. The Council of magickers that Morgana Blackthorne is Master of is coming under attack. Not overt attack, but something else: their homes are being invaded and ransacked. These break-ins begin just as Lady Isadore Harrington arrives in Philadelphia to apprise James Blackthorne of the happenings in England these past two years, since Morgana married and left James in charge in her stead.

When James meets Isadore, he is strongly attracted to her, almost immediately, and the feeling is mutual. But before they can act on any personal agendas, Isadore needs to tell James of the discovery of the Book of the Druids that holds the history long thought lost. She is also there to teach some strengthening spells to James. The effect viagra viagra buy of vomiting may happen.

Can they ignore their feelings and still work together to solve the crimes? Can James protect Isadore from the jealous hatred of his former lover? Can Isadore embrace her Druidic heritage and take James as her first lover, or will Therese be victorious in her attempts to separate the two forever?

In this fourth book in the Druids series, Isabel Roman takes us back to Philadelphia of the late 1800’s. The characters are superb and complex. Isadore is a strong woman, much like all of the heroines in Ms. Roman’s Druid books. But unlike the others, Isadore is an innocent. She has never been loved or in love, until she meets James.

James is a strong and handsome man, and he works to win her heart as well as her body. His only regret is that he can’t seem to get a handle on what is happening in the town, and can’t stop the break-ins in time to protect his household. When Isadore gives in to the passion and takes James to be her first lover, she does it with abandon.

I loved the twists and surprises in this one, and I was truly sorry to see it end. Ms. Roman writes of her Druids with a depth and passion that I truly enjoy, and I hope she will continue to revisit them occasionally. Do Isadore and James have their happy ever after? Of course, but it comes with a few surprises by the end.

I heartily recommend this to any who enjoy hot romance and mystery with a historic flavor.
