Review: The Darkest Heart by Thea Devine

Ever since a terrible fire killed her older son, one ambition has ruled Countess Lazlaric. Desperate to continue the family legacy, she is determined that her rakehell second son wed and produce an heir. Now, she’s found the perfect bride. A distant relative, writing to beg for help, is ideal for her secret plans.Alone in the world, beautiful raven-haired Senna Landseth finds more than just Drom Manor’s isolation sending a shiver down her spine. Countess Lazlaric seems overly eager to welcome her, strange noises fill the cavernous corridors of the gloomy manor, and she senses she is being spied upon. Then a note mysteriously appears, inscribed with chilling words: “I’m watching you. Nicolai.”In the years since the fire that supposedly destroyed him, Nicolai Lazlaric has inhabited the world of a vampire, consumed with seeking revenge on the creature who turned him. Now, it is time to return to Drom Manor. But Nicolai has no idea how badly the Countess wants an heir—or that his hated brother’s prospective bride is residing there. Senna’s unexpected presence upends Nicolai’s plans, for he can think only of possessing the beautiful innocent, of taking her in a blood-binding seduction from which she will never escape. . . .   description taken from here.

I enjoyed reading The Darkest Heart.  It was a more dark romance.  Gallery Books (it's publisher) describes it as a 'sensual and compelling Gothic paranormal romance.'  They hit the nail on the head when they said that.  It does have a Gothic feel to it.  The book is well written with a compelling plot that has you up reading until 2 in the morning.

It's a good book for anyone who likes paranormal romances.

Until Next Time,

Happy Reading!

Review: Moonlight Warrior by Janet Chapman

Eve Anderson is darned tired of Kenzie Gregor meddling in her business. She might be struggling to keep herself and her ailing mother financially afloat, but she's no princess in need of a strong, capable knight in a black SUV to rescue her -- even if he is easy on the eyes. Besides, there's something very odd about him...and she's sure the strange events occurring in their small coastal Maine town are linked to his recent arrival.

Once an immortal warrior cursed to live as a panther, Kenzie is finally free to live and die as a man, and his destiny is to help other displaced souls. Of course, if he can get tiny, blue-eyed, curly blond Eve out of the deal, well...life doesn't get any better. But she's as stubborn and fierce as a lioness, and in order to win her love, he must tempt her with forbidden desires.... description taken from here.

I had reviewed this book in the past and I said that I did not like it.  As I mentioned in the review of the 2nd book in this series though, I go through spurts in books.  For a couple of weeks all I want to read is Historicals, then for a couple of weeks I am infatuated with Paranormals and so on.  When I read this book in the past, I had to have been in one of those spurts (that's not Paranormal) because I absolutely loved the 2nd book this series (Midnight Bay Trilogy).  You can read my review here of the second book, Dragon Warrior.

So, if you have already read my review of Dragon Warrior, then you would know that I had planned on re-reading and re-reviewing Moonlight Warrior.  (Which I just loved!)


The characters in Moonlight Warrior were also in Dragon Warrior, so I already liked the characters.  However, when reading their book, I couldn't help but love them more.  They were excellent!  So well written, the plot was great, AND it actually helped explain to me some of the beginning of Dragon Warrior.  The minor characters throughout Moonlight Warrior made the book all the more funny and adorable. 

I loved Kenzie and he was clueless when it came t sarcasm.  It was endearing.  Eve was a great female lead.  She had just got a divorce from her husband and was not about to fall for a man so soon.  However, while she was not about to commit, she did not fight overly hard (You know how sometimes you just want to reach into a book and slap some sense into the female character?  Well that was not needed in this case thankfully!)

To make it short and sweet:  This was a wonderful book and if you like Scottish accents, hot men, or paranormal romances, (or all of the above) then you should get this book, because you will love it as much as I did.

Review: Virgin by Cheryl Brooks

Virgin is the 7th book in the Cat Star Chronicals Series!
______

He's never met anyone who made him purr...

Starship pilot Dax never encountered a woman he wanted badly enough.  Until he meets Ava Karon...

And he'll never give his body without giving his heart...

Dax is happy to take Ava back to her home planet, until he finds out she's returning to an old boyfriend...

As their journey together turns into a quest neither expected, Ava would give herself to Dax in a heartbeat.  Except he doesn't know the first thing about seducing a woman...  **description taken from back cover.**

I have read 3 of Brooks' books from the Cat Star Series; although I have not read a single one in the correct order (but you don't really need to).  I have loved every one of them.  I first read Hero, the 6th book in the series (which I also reviewed for Sourcebooks- you can read my review of Hero here.)  Then I read Slave, the first book in the series; and then I read this book right here that I am now reviewing for you, Virgin.  (I also just got OUTCAST the 4th book in the series (which I have yet to read) for free on my Kindle thanks to a Sourcebooks promotion!  Hurry & go to my Free Ebooks post that I wrote just a few days past and see if you can still get those 6 FREE eBooks!

I love these books.  I think I mentioned in the HERO review that this series is about aliens and space traveling.  That is just not my cup of tea for books.  Normally, I cannot get into those types of books, they just bore me.  This is not the case with this series; the books are so well written, the characters are wonderful, the sex scenes are fantastic, the action and humor is there and wicked.  I simply adore these books.

Virgin hit the shelves June 1st so the book is available to you all now!







Until Next Time,
Happy Reading!

Review: Heart Of The Highland Wolf by Terry Spear

It's a matter of pride...


Modern day werewolf laird Ian MacNeill reluctantly allows a film production company to use his castle, but he knows his secretive clan has a big problem when a beautiful red werewolf female who insists she's working on the film keeps showing up in the wrong places...

And a matter of pleasure...

Julia Wildthorn is not who she says she is-she's sneaking into Argent Castle to steal an ancient relic for her grandfather and to do research for her next werewolf romance novel. When she catches a glimpse of Ian, she realizes he's the perfect hero... **description taken from the back of the book.**

I absolutely love Terry Spear's wolf romances, they are all wonderful, well written, and easy to fall in love with.

Heart Of The Highland Wolf is no exception to my love of Spear's books.  It is as wonderful as the rest.  Heart Of The Highland Wolf is actually the 7th book in the wolf series by Spear.  To see all of the books listed in order, click here (it will take you to the author's web page).

The book started out with some action - it really took you by the seat and made you stay focused and right in the book.  The action stayed for a bit, then it turned humorous and very cute; that being just the very beginning.  Throughout the book, there was a lot of cute and funny moments, the action being mixed in just right to really keep your attention and your emotions empathetic.

I really enjoyed the book from start to finish.  Spear is one of those authors that you know if you pick up one of her books, you will not be disappointed.
Heart Of The Highland Wolf hit the shelves June 1st, so if you want to read it, you don't have to wait for it's pub. date!

Until Next Time,

Happy Reading!

Review: Demons Prefer Blonds by Sidney Ayers

A BAD DAY FOR A DEMON


Rafe Deleon is a senior demon and he resents like hell his assignment to Earth to retrieve the Chest of the Damned before it falls into the wrong hands. But then he meets beautiful, intriguing succubus Lucy Gregory and she's just unleashed a whole load of trouble...



REALLY SUCKS FOR A SUCCUBUS

Lucy's chic suburban beauty salon has suddenly become the Underworld's center of mass chaos and destruction. The only good thing in a day going rapidly down the tubes is the arrival of a gorgeous demon who's adamant that he can help her...

But Lucy has quite a few deeply unpleasant--not to mention deadly and hateful--surprises ahead of her, and surely there's never been a worse time to try out a new boyfriend... description taken from here.


It hit the shelves June 1st and checking amazon, I noticed that in paperback there are only 9 left at the moment!


When beautiful half-succubus Lucy Gregory's antique chest unleashes a Pandora's box of demonic activity in a suburban beauty salon, brooding demon Rafe arrives to run damage control.  He's darkly sexy and everything she's avoided- icy and reserved -but that only adds to his mysterious appeal.  Being a demon, he knows he should be able to resist Lucy's charms, but his resistance is slipping at the worst moment.  And Lucy has no idea of the power she possesses...

However, when an evil demon arrives to stake his claim, Rafe is determined to protect Lucy, who'd rather go into battle with guns blazing and daggers zinging.  Sparks fly as they fight their growing attraction, but will they admit they need each other before it's too late?  *description taken from Sourcebooks reviewer handout.*


Demons Prefer Blonds was really cute.  It was fun and entertaining, there weren't any boring parts.  I very much enjoyed it.  I'm sure you already read the bold print above, but as of right now there are only 9 paperback copies available to order on amazon.com.  You can get the Kindle edition, of course; as well as many other sellers and Sourcebooks themselves.  But I am pointing out amazon's sells to offer the fact that this book is selling fast!

Until Next Time,
Happy Reading!
