Paranormal Romance Suspense
Net Galley

Fonda Raine lives for one thing: killing Eric Aruda out of revenge for slaying her lover. But she'll have to be careful Eric can set fires with his mind. Seconds from accomplishing her goal, an assassin tries to take them both out. Now, two adversaries must go on the run together, bound by hatred, drawn by passion, and hunted by a vicious and powerful enemy.





MY REVIEW:




SEXUAL:




Totally Captivating and HOT!

Wow, I was totally swept away just after reading the first chapter. What an exciting fast paced and fast action - kicking ass throughout the whole book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Fonda is one tough little chick and the romance between her and Eric is out of this world. I totally fell in love with Eric Aruda, I mean “What a Man, What a Man, What a Mighty Good Man!” TOTALLY HOT!

If you like the thought of other dimensional worlds, psychic powers, teleporting your soul and being able to move objects, or having the ability to burn someone with just a thought than you will love this book.

Even though this was the first Offspring book I have read in this series I totally loved the Alien aspect of this story and it made me want to read more about the other Offspring. I will definitely be reading the books before this one. If you are worried about reading this book out of order, don’t worry the book could totally be a standalone read and it does give you little updates of the other characters. Great Read!

Does Sarah trust this new found hero or is she just a pawn in his plans to win the war?

Cover- I love the cover.



The Last Watcher is a fantastic quick read. I was really impressed with Misty Burke vampire story. I found danger, adventure and a very good prophecy tale. I would recommend this to paranormal romance readers.

The book description says enough, I am not going to spoil. I did like both Charles and Sara and I liked them both together. I loved the stroyline I found it different and wanting more at the end. The only downside to me was a romance reader I found the sex scenes a little rushed and lacking in the seduction, but in saying this I know its hard to put it all in into a short novella. I also felt this story could have been made into a series for more books to come. Hint, hint Misty....

Title: Goddness with a Blade
Author: Lauren Dane

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Sexual-

It’s been a while since I hit a book that I didn’t like, I knew it was coming. Goddess with a Blade is pure Urban Fantasy and one I didn’t care for. I got this book off of netgalley under romance (they so need a category for UF) and as most of you know romance is what I love, so I figured since I loved Lauren Dane’s Chase brothers this one would be alright, so not, I should have looked on Lauren website before I requested this one ugh. The majority of the book is written in Rownas POV and the romance is so not there, but you do get a couple of sex scenes. I have to hand it to Lauren she can go from romance to urban fantasy very easy. If you’re a UF reader you’d love I because it has your typical bad lady lead that loves fast cars, and let me tell you she has the mouth action that goes along with the kick butt action. The villain is very dangers and creepy, so this bring me to let you know this is not for the faint of heart. If you’re a romance reader looking for a paranormal love story you may want to wait for some more reviews before going out and buying it.

By Maria Zannini
http://www.mariazannini.com/

Something is killing off immortals, one by one.

Taelen Jessit is an alien emissary on a mission sanctioned by the U.S. government to search for ancient gods. His hunt leads him to a dig headed by archaeologist Rachel Cruz. When his military entourage forces Rachel's team out of the cave they were exploring, a flash flood hits the riverbed and threatens to tear them through the ravine.

In the aftermath of the flood, Taelen witnesses the incredible healing of Rachel's broken ankle and believes his gods have blessed her. He is inexplicably drawn to her, and she to him.

What Taelen doesn't know is that Rachel is Nephilim—a descendant of the gods his people worship—masquerading as a human to find the god-killer and destroy it. Rachel needs help to bring down the tech that is manipulating the Earth's magnetosphere and frying her people alive. She's given Taelen her heart, but can she trust him with her secret?

Favorite Paranormal Romance Series I read this year:

Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon
http://www.dark-hunter.com/series.php?id=7#s_species

We, alone, stand between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed. We are the Guardians.

The Soulless Keepers.

Our souls were cast out so that we would not forewarn the Daimons we pursue. By the time they see us coming, it's too late.

The Daimons and Apollites know us. They fear us. We are death to all those who prey upon the humans.

Neither Human, nor Apollite, we exist beyond the realm of the Living, beyond the realm of the Dead.

We are the Dark-Hunters.

And we are eternal.

Yeah, yeah. Enough of the doom and gloom because, baby, that ain't us. You want to know what a Dark-Hunter is? We are what the intro says. We're Mad, Bad and Immortal. We're ancient warriors with attitudes who fight rough, and play hard.

We are the scary things that go bump in the night. And we love every minute of it. So when you think you're being watched. You just might be. The question is...is it something evil or is it one of us?

Immortals After Dark Series by Kresley Cole

http://kresleycole.com/books/immortals-after-dark-series.html

Every creature or being that was thought to be mythical . . . isn’t.
They all secretly exist alongside humans and enjoy the gift of immortality. There are hundreds of different kinds: from Vampires to Lykae, from Furies to Shifters, from the Fey to Valkyries.

These immortals call their world The Lore.

You may have had a brush with one of Lorekind already. The eccentric billionaire with hypnotic charisma—and an aversion to sunlight. The ethereal waif of impossible beauty—whose fingernails look more like claws. The Highlander with a seventeenth-century Scottish accent and animal magnetism—who can never be penciled in on the night of the full moon.

They walk among us, but they war among themselves. Each faction has its strengths, weaknesses, and age old prejudices against the others. Every five hundred years, the Accession, a battle for supremacy, rages. That time is now. . . .

Review



Sexual



If you’re looking for hot, hard, alpha males who live and thrive on the edge, look no further than PROMISES IN THE DARK by Stephanie Tyler. Ms. Tyler serves up not one, not two, but THREE military men that are sure to please.

!! RAWR !!

The three story lines are expertly weaved together to form a superb novel of suspense, action, and raw heat.

Zane and Olivia: Zane Scott and Dr. Olivia Strohm are carried over from LIE WITH ME, Book 1 of the Shadow Force Series. Olivia escapes from the terrorist group DMH (Dead Man’s Hand) with a bang, only to live on the run, hiding, in Africa. Zane has been obsessed with her since he heard her screams through his headset and wasn’t able to do anything about it. Now, Zane is in Africa and is willing to do anything, everything, to bring Olivia back safely to the States. And, of course, these two have deep dark secrets lurking in their pasts that are always getting in the way.

Besides, he already knew, judging from his next words, which were a rough growl against her cheek. “I know you think I’m some fucking pathetic puppy dog, following you around, believing whatever you say, taking you wherever you want to go, but there’s a hell of a lot you don’t know. And you’re severely overestimating my damned patience.”

Tristan and Rowan: These two emerge in the middle of the jungle in a missionary clinic: But that is not the whole story. The clinic serves multiple purposes. Not only is it a playground for Tristan and Rowan, but a pivotal springboard for Zane and Olivia’s relationship.

Caleb and Vivi: Meanwhile, back in the States, Army Delta member Caleb “Cael” Scott (yes, one of Zane’s older brothers) has his hands full of Vivienne Clare. DMH has somehow gotten its deadly hands on her computer program and is planning on using it for their dastardly deeds. It is up to Cael to prove Vivi’s innocence no matter how harsh the interrogation.

Cael glanced toward the bedroom and wondered how much Vivi would spill to him now that she was tired and secluded. Wondered how much of a prick he’d have to be to see if she’d been telling him the truth all along.

And in the end
PROMISES IN THE DARK
Earns for the month of December

I hosted one  event, 7 days of summer erotica heat. This next year I have planned for 2 events and maybe more if all goes well.

Here is a list of my new favorite authors I discovered this year.

Anitra Lynn McLeod
S.K Yule
Leah Braemel
I hope to find more in this next year.

I have read so may good books this year, that it made it really hard for be to decide on what to pick as my top pick books for this year. There were a couple that were hands down the best reads right off the bat. I really did try hard to only pick one book for each category, but sad to say there are a few I couldn't decide, so I am calling them a tie..

Historical romance




Jennifer Ashley
 The year is 1881. Meet the Mackenzie family--rich, powerful, dangerous, eccentric. A lady couldn't be seen with them without ruin. Rumors surround them--of tragic violence, of their mistresses, of their dark appetites, of scandals that set England and Scotland abuzz.

The youngest brother, Ian, known as the Mad Mackenzie, spent most of his young life in an asylum, and everyone agrees he is decidedly odd. He's also hard and handsome and has a penchant for Ming pottery and beautiful women.

Beth Ackerley, widow, has recently come into a fortune. She has decided that she wants no more drama in her life. She was raised in drama--an alcoholic father who drove them into the workhouse, a frail mother she had to nurse until her death, a fussy old lady she became constant companion to. No, she wants to take her money and find peace, to travel, to learn art, to sit back and fondly remember her brief but happy marriage to her late husband.

And then Ian Mackenzie decides he wants her.

Bargaining over goods with a middleman isn’t exactly his strong suit. But who in his right mind spends an entire salvage job’s profits on a woman, even if she has a body built for sin and eyes so fathomless a man could lose himself in them? He must be getting soft.

Once Kraft realizes Jace expects only the “cook” part of their cook-whore contract, she sets out to change his antiquated ideas about women. A challenge she relishes, especially if it earns her the freedom and money to get her own ship. Her big mistake is letting down her guard.

Shameless flirting only intensifies the itch to ride Jace hard and put him away wet—several times. It’s an itch it would be dangerous to scratch. Exposing her heart could reveal her secret, one that the still-grieving Jace must never know…or showing her mercy will be the last thing on his mind.
