Blog Tour: Long Night by Jeffe Kennedy
@jeffekennedy #PreviouslyAnthology #Novella By Jeffe Kennedy Shapeshifter Prince Rhyian doesn’t especially want to spend the Feast of Moranu at Castle Ordnung. First of all, it’s literally freezing there, an uncomfortable change from the tropical paradise of his home. Secondly, it’ s a mossback castle, which means thick walls and too many rules. Thirdly, his childhood playmate and current nemesis, Lena, will be there. Not exactly a cause for celebration. Princess Salena Nakoa

Review: Last Strand by Jennifer Estep
★★★ #BookReview #LastStrand #SeriesFinale This is it. This is the finale we have been waiting for since we first met Gin. Full disclosure, I didn't read the book right before this one. Somehow I missed a book and I regret it. This book should not be read until book 18 in this series is first read. As it is, now that I have the spoiler, I probably won't go back and read book 18. The main story arc through the last half of this series is all about the Circle. Gin's arch n

Review: Beauty by Robin McKinley
★★★ #Bookreview #Beauty For those of us who watched Beauty and the Beast from Disney but grew up on Grimm Fairy Tales, it was hard to reconcile the two stories. (Just as it was hard for me to reconcile the drastic differences between the two version for the Little Mermaid.) When I rediscovered Ms. McKinley, I tore through her retelling of well known fairy tales. This one, is a happy balance between the Disney unrealistic tale and Grimm's dark story. What I liked about Beau

Review: Wicked All Night by Jeaniene Frost
★★★★ @Jeaniene_Frost #bookreview #WickedAllNight Coming in late to this spin-off series, I loved it! I have always been a fan of Ian when I first saw him in the Cat & Bones original series. This series more or less focused on the sexy vamp, Ian is delightful. For those who are just picking up this book as the first one to read, it is still easy to get into the book as a standalone. It seems a lot has happened to Ian in the past two books. He's now with his soulmate, Verit

Review: Driven by Rebecca Zanetti
★★★★ @RebeccaZanetti.books #Bookreview Is this the end? This misfit covert ops team lead by a former FBI profiler is fantastic. I loved Angus Force from the very beginning and it is fitting that the last book in this series ends with him. The year he's been granted by Homeland to create a team and solve cases whilst hunting down his nemesis has been wild. Even if the scuttlebutt is that Angus is washed out or crazy, he is still on the top of his game. For the past year, A

Excerpt: Pug Actually by Matt Dunn
@HarperCollins @MattDunnWrites #PugActually Book Summary: Doug’s human, Julie, has been adrift since she lost her mom (which is strange, because she’s usually pretty good with directions). Doug just wants Julie to be happy, and he doesn’t think she’s going to get there while she’s seeing her married boss, Luke. What’s worse, she’s saying if things don’t work out with Luke, she might end up like her lonely cat-lady neighbor. Horrified by the prospect of a sad Julie and untrust

Review: Slayed by Darkness by Alexandra Ivy
★★★½ @AlexandraIvy @jennw23 #Bookreview #SlayedbyDarkness #1001DarkNights A romantic and sweet second chance novella is recommended to all romance readers. Ms. Ivy is a magical storyteller as she shares her Guardians of Eternity world in this series. I must say, when the 1001 Dark Nights concept first came out, I thought it was a bit hokey. I am surprised by how many of the authors I read are in this collection. I am really loving the ones I read. This is a standalone an

Review: Beast by Sophie Oak
★★★★★ @AuthorSophieOak @AuthorLexiBlake Buy this book now. This entire trilogy is a delight and a must read. In Beast, we return back to the alternate/parallel world with a focus on the vampire society. I devoured this book in one sitting and ended up staying up way too late into the early morning. Dante Dellacourt is a rebel without a cause...until he meets a woman that is so different than anyone he has ever met, Kaja. This book starts out with Kaja's experience and wha

Review: Rafe and Sheila by Shiloh Walker
★★★ ½ @shilohwalker #ThrowbackReview Back when Ellora's Cave was really the only electronic erotic book around, I found Ms. Walker and never looked back. One of the books that was also printed was The Hunters series from Ms. Walker. This series I feel was ahead of the time with paranormal hunters bringing down the "big bad". This series can be read out of order or as standalones. I enjoyed this book because it reminded me of the TV series Buffy which is a show I adored. T

Review: Guardian's Grace by Rebecca Zanetti
★★★★ #bookreview When it comes to fated mates, it doesn't always work out well for the two. This is a topic many authors tend to avoid as readers prefer to have fated mates to be a "happily ever after" with no issues. I applaud Ms. Zanetti who shows that sometimes, being fated is not all it is cracked up to be. Adare is the curmudgeonly old "man" who has seen everything and done everything. I like to think of Adare as the guy who won't tell you what you need to think and h

Review: A Dark Guardian by Donna Grant
★★ This re-issue of an earlier work by Ms. Grant is a little of a rough read for me. Not as polished as her newer works, we experience events in a historical setting with the Fae and their chosen warriors to defend their world. There is magic, betrayal, and supposed time traveling. I found that this book had more questions than answers. The majority of the book we are flying completely blind and the world building is pretty thin. I believe it is designed in a way that all

@JoeyWHill Fae and vampires never fall in love. Except when they do. Vampire Guardian, a dark and sexy paranormal romance from award-winning author Joey W. Hill is available now! Adan has come to Club Atlantis to do a job. The BDSM club is to become part of the portal network for magic users.

Review: Vampire Guardian by Joey W. Hill
★★★★★ @JoeyWHill #MustRead #Buyitnow Grab some tissues and settle in for an emotional rollercoaster ride. I loved this book and ended up sniffling through several scenes. Ms. Hill moves me in this erotic romance. The character development and growth, the erotic power exchange and world building all come together to create a magical experience. For readers who want complex characters in a star-crossed lover scenario, this book is for you. I do recommend reading Vampire Insti

Review: The Bullet by Iris Johansen
★★★★ @Iris_Johansen #Netgalley #TheBullet "Who is John Galt?" Is the question that keeps running through my head as I read this book. One of my favourite books I have read is Atlas Shrugged. John Galt is a mysterious man who is a bit of a psychic. In The Bullet, Cameron returns to this series as a new scientist who meets his criteria pops onto the scene. I really enjoyed this book because Cameron is like John Galt. No hesitation, if John from Atlas Shrugged or Cameron fr

Review: Dark Desire by Christine Feehan
★★★ #ThrowbackReview Looking back at this series, I was so excited to get each book because there were so few vampire books available back in early 2000. How the world of paranormal romance has changed! I like to think that Ms. Feehan is one of those instrumental authors who took a chance and wrote about vampires and a different type of "blood feeders" aka the Carpathian. What is so alluring about this series back when I was in my early 20s is the concept of a fated soul ma

Review: Bite Me by Shelly Laurenston @ShelLaurenston
★★★★ @ShelLaurenston #BiteMe #Bookreview #Hilarious A recent sale for this wonderfully funny book moved this book from #1480 in my TBR to #1. Since I added this book back in January 2014, it is a shame it has taken me a bit over 7.5 years to get to it. I wish I started reading Ms. Laurenston immediately when I first learned of her so many years ago. I picked this one up because it is about Livy and there was a 99 cent sale on it this last week on Amazon in the States. Livy

Review: The Handmaid's tale by Margaret Atwood
★★★★ #ThrowbackReview #Bookreview #Political Years ago, I read book because it is on the feminist must read list. Yes, there is a list and there is a manifesto somewhere too. As a new wave feminist, I roared with my sisters and read this book with much chest thumping. As I look back now almost 2 decades later, I cringe at the idealist narrowminded feminazi that I was at the time. Looking back at this book, I say the rating stands because it was at the stage where I was cha

Review: Shifters and Glyphs by Christina Bauer
★★★★ @CB_Bauer #NetGalley #ShiftersandGlyphs #Bookreview From the imaginative mind of Ms. Bauer, comes another unique paranormal fantasy series. Once again, my only lament is, where was Ms. Bauer when I was a young teenager, looking for books to read? This new series, Fairy Tales of the Magicorum is a darker look and feel for those who like Mercedes Lackey's Five Hundred Kingdom series. Once again, I picked up the series midway and it is easy to follow and enjoy. This can b
