The Damsel and the Daggerman by Delilah S. Dawson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I recieved this for an honest review.

In the world of Pinkies, Tinkers and Bluds another story surfaces,this one about the mysterious lives of the carnivalleos. Journalist Jacinda Harville has her sights set on the mystery that is Criminey's Caravan, wanting to expose the life and not the secrets will be easy for this hard pressed truth teller. Marco Taresque the infamous daggerman and main attraction or at least for Jacinda. He has quickly piqued her interest with his murderous back round, and sinister kisses. Keeping a level head will be no easy task for this adventurer. Her journalism quickly turns into a game of cat and mouse with the deadly knifethrower. Jacinda desperately wants the truth exposed, but she'll settle for his body instead....Beggars can't be choosers.

This novella is another part in the Sang clockwork, each word placed well according to its function.
Delilah S. Dawson uses words much like a tinkerer....finding that perfect match over and over again.
I find her writing witty and rich, the detail in which she dresses the pages you can see the characters manifest as you read. Corsets, lace up stockings and a Sang flare you can only experience here. Jacinda and Marco's story has a youthful feel to lighten up the dangerous world they are entertaining. The climax was unexpected and a real twist, one a that really ties it all together.

I would totally recommend this book, I finished it in 1 sitting and I am really looking forward to the next book!

Circle of Death by Keri Arthur
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

2nd installment of the Damask Circle and I hope the series never ends.

Kirby living life in the government system is no way to live for a child, the friendship she found with Helen seemed to be the only thing that helped her make it through. Now that Helen is gone, murdered where does that leave her? Kirby is an elemental witch not that she really know what that entails, but she always knew she had magic as did her friend Helen. (Love the magic spin)...Alone in a town she just moved to with no family, who is their to talk/turn to when things just start spinning outta control. Nobody that's who, especially not Doyle the panther shifter who has impeccable timing when it comes to saving people.

Working together Kirby and Doyle are racing to uncover who is killing the elemental witches, and what are they doing with all that power? Doyle is using all is decorum when it comes to Kirby. He's not sure where her deep rooted trust issues stem from but he sure doesn't want to jump on the bandwagon. Especially with the physical draw he feels towards her. With a new nemesis rising, Kirby is the only key in shutting down the threat.

This book was totally different than the 1st which really shows just how creative Keri Arthur is!
Each book is a new story with well thought out heroines and equally warped and sinister adversaries to go up against. This is something you can depend on when reading a KA book...least the 6 I have read so far. Plus the added bonus is the romance and potential love rising through the storm.

Circle of Fire by Keri Arthur
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this copy for an honest review.

Circle of Fire the Damask Circle book#1 this spin off series is another sure thing Keri Arthur has published!

Maddie is lonely and tired of life beating her down, really doesn't know how to handle the apparition that keeps visiting her and begging her for help. Jon keeps visiting Maddie in hopes to lure her from her safe & sheltered life in order to rescue him. Jon, working for the Damask Circle needs to find the missing teenagers before it's too late.
The Damask Circle is similar to a private investigation firm with an edge. Each member has otherworldly talents used to kick the bad guys asses, some shifters, vampires and loads of magic.

Jon sexy shifter that he is tried to warn Maddie of the impending danger surrounding her...stubborn to the core nothing will move this woman, that is until she realizes her only shot at finding her recently kidnapped nephew lies at the bottom of a well.

Want to live forever? So does the evil killing the missing kids, what better way to sustain life than by sacrificing youth? Old magic is what Maddie and Jon have to go up against to save her nephew.

The Damask Circle series has all the basics essentials for a great book...
Evil nefarious bad guys/gals...Check
Action and unpredictable moments...Check
Hero/Heroine...Check

Absolutely love Keri Arthur's writing style and the world she so carefully thought of. Her writing is well constructed and her characters deal with the harshness real life scenarios dish out. Maddie's strength stems from some of those real life moments, but they don't define her. This is one of the reasons I love paranormal books, you can take real life situations and read about a heroine rising like a phoenix out of the ashes of her past.

Tempting His Mate by Savannah Stuart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So I may have mentioned a time or two I have a weakness for steamy, seusaully charged shifter books...? Well this being the first book I have read from Savannah Stuart, I must say she can deliver a amorously charged book that has you all hot and bothered right up till the end!

The chemistry between Ella and Asher was steller right from the start. Women tend to fall for their White Knight... or in this case sexy Black Wolf. Ella intends on breaking her pattern of prim and proper with a one time/one night of uninhibited sex with Asher. Little did she know at the time you can't hide from a predator like him. Ella running from her pride and her past, runs right into a new life and soon new love. Asher a bold suitor knows exactly what Ella has to offer and will do anything to hold her close at the end of the day.

This Crescent Moon series reminds me of other favorite authors of shifter series. Shelly Laurenston, Lora Leigh only name dropping a couple, if you love their books you will adore this one too! I think the writing is smoldering and it definitely makes you want to crawl up to your lover soon after reading! I received this for an honest review. So if you're looking for a book to spark your night this will be the one, tastefully written for your entertainment.

Mistress of the Wind by Michelle Diener
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can even describe how stirring this book was, amazing, wonderful , captivating~

I usually am an avid reader of romance and paranormal whatever...love it all and throw in a little time in the sheets and yowza I am a happy woman. This book was really different I was captured from the start. Intrigue, Magic and Love are you really need to get hooked on a good book!

I was given this for a free review, and I loved it!!!! I would pay for it 10x over.

I plowed through this book in 6hrs give or take, and I want to do it all over again. Michelle Diener is a master at spinning a fairy tale! I have not encountered a story to its like and that really amazes me.
The writing was profound and moving, I could clearly see it all as I was reading it. The love story between the Mistress and the Bear will go down as one of my all time favorites. With the whimsical characters and fantastic ups and downs, I think this book would be great for pretty much anyone! Want more juicy details pick it up, you won't be disappointed!

Darkness Awakened by Katie Reus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was given this for an honest review.

Love and taking chances goes hand and hand.
Now what would you do if the lover that scorned you was the only one you can trust to help save your child? That is the current problem for Vampire Lyra Marius. Struggling with the lie she has carried for 17 years.After her so called love told her they couldn't have a future. Now confronting her secret and getting her teenage daughter back will force her to confront hard truths about her one true love Werewolf Finn Stavros.

I will admit the beginning was a little hard for me to praise not for the writing but it just didn't click at first for ME... I am so happy to have just kept reading b/c I was flying through the book after a while. LOL I read the book in 1 sitting and I loved the story. The author did a bang up job with backdrop and supporting characters. Her writing was fresh and creative. She had a great blend of the mystery and action with a splash of some hot sex. What more can you ask for? I myself enjoyed reading this new series' first installment. I am dying to know what happens with Drake and Victoria.

Kiss The Night Goodbye by Keri Arthur
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The 4th installment of Nikki and Michael has to be my favorite hands down!
Love the basis of the book!! Michael's past creeps up and puts a wrench in things for the happy couple.
The battle between good and evil has never been so good, as it is in the 4th book.
Michael and Nikki are planning a wedding, just not before she passes the final test the Circle has to offer. These two are really on the same page now and you can't help but cheer them on! Upon completing the entry exam for the circle Nikki is devastated when Michael's past nemesis' twin rises up with a well laid plan and kidnapped him.
The Phrase "all in good time" really works here. Nikki has to infiltrate the old western set town and resurrect Michaels memories and kill the bad guys. Easier said than done.

I loved the banter between Michael and Nikki (under guise as another), how their love sounds true even though Michael thinks he doesn't know her!! I feel Keri Arthur really kicked this book into gear, I loved it. So much action and suspense. Read it in 2 sittings and now I am dying to see whats next with the Damask Circle.
So many questions were answered in this book it anchored them all together, with the sweetest ending you could ask for !!!

Released by Kerrigan Byrne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seeing as I have read all of Kerrigan Byrne's books this one was a must have/read.
I have read them all out of order so I wouldn't let something like that hold you up from reading this Highland Romance.
I LOVE Highland Stories and all of KB's books are a sure thing! They each are full of magic, love , passion and plotting bad guys. I feel the story's always have a very well rounded way of unfolding from beginning to the end.
The heat between Rory and Kat is unlike the other stories. They are all individually profound in the way each couple comes together, but they are certainly not Short on the descriptive passion and longing! Which I love~ A truly original idea of a scorned family out for vengeance, this is where the 3 banshee sisters story starts and now I am going to go back and read them all again!! The only complaint is the books are all kinda short but the quality inside is worth it!!!

Endless Knight by Kresley Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan already of Kresley Cole read almost everything she has written and I figured her writing has never steered me wrong before, so when I saw the new release on sale on amazon I was like "Hell Yes".

Totally smitten with this new series KC has brought to the table. I have read some YA books, I tell ya if they are all this great I will amp up my to be read list.

2nd installment read as a stand alone and I was totally cool with how it panned out. Evie is my new home girl I mean talk about growing up super quick. Don't know a girl who could juggle it all: Her love life, on the run , bagmen, teeth and other Arcana looking for a kill (or are they)?
SO many plot twists and unpredictable awesomeness, I read this book in a day. I really thought all the characters like so many of KC's books really stand out they are always so well thought out, I feel you really get a sense of them being individuals and all of them bring importance.
The book and storyline is really exciting and totally fresh, I have not read anything equal to its originality for YA. Which pushes me to really look into this genre.

Dragonfly Kisses by Sabrina York
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had no idea what to expect from Sabrina York since I have not read any of her work as of yet.

Hands down fantastic read. Banged this book out in 1.5 days. I just could not get enough. Dragonfly kisses erupted so many emotions from one page to the next.. First I was really hopeful as Dylan passionately watched his ungettable get. But when Bella and him spark...wow just wow.
I love all kinds of books but Sabrina York really blurs the lines in genre. Her Tryst Island series looks like it can promise you a taste of it all.
You have romance and some chick-lit... and the adult sexy time is drool worthy, but then in the thick of it I was crying.. It was moving and beautiful.
GREAT READ.. especially since it was a freebie from amazon~
Happy reading..xoxo

Take Me Home for Christmas by Brenda Novak
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was asked by this author to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book I have read by Brenda Novak, I was not sure what to expect and I have to say what a breath of fresh air!

How long should you punish yourself for past transgressions? A year, 15 years, a lifetime? This is Sophia DeBussi biggest setback in life, that and her missing husband. So hell bent on punishing herself for every wrong decision she ever made in her teenage years, Sophia can't help but take years of abuse as penance. So when her hubby abandons ship, leaving her to tidy up the scandal he left behind, she has to finally get a grip on how she wants to live. With a town filled with scorned hearts is there any room for forgiveness?

This is the only book in the Whiskey Creek series that I have read, I had no problem getting into the story without reading any of the other books. I do however really want to read the rest of them!

I found the writing to be expressive and captivating. Sophia's story really exposes raw human emotion in her unwavering ability to berate herself for pretty much every mistake she has made. This is where I was really drawn in , I really felt connected to her with the past regrets that weigh down future endeavors. So reading her trials and tribulations all the while rooting for her was great.
Brenda Novak has a keen way of bring her characters to life. Eve was inspirational, I thought for a moment she was going to turn into that girl who has your back until it isn't convenient anymore.... but I was pleasantly surprised.

I recommend this book to all you out there who root for the underdog, enjoy reading about selfless people, forgiveness, love and are in need of inspiring humanity.


I read this recently: If you can give one piece of advice to a large group of people what would it be?
When a wave comes, go deep!
Translation: There are 3 things you can do when life sends a wave at you.
1) Run from it, but then it's going to catch up with you and knock you down.
2) You can also fall back on your ego and stand your ground, but then it's still going to clobber you.
3) Or you can use it as an opportunity to go DEEP, and transform yourself to match the circumstances. And that's how you get through the wave.

Song great for this book: Shake it off by Florence and the Machine.
I want to extend a Huge thank you to the author b/c out of all the books I have read I really feel I need to read this one at this point in my life.
Thanks~ Happy Reading~

Undressed by Avery Aster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Manhattanites: Undressed, A sexually titillating adventure...

This first installment definitely had me drooling at the mouth! You have Lex upcoming fashionista, banging out her new line of clothes that will surely lead to a more stable future. That is not all this slugger is banging out, she has more than a couple KO moments. Fighting for the essentials her Easton clothing line needs takes her right to the door of her Vibrators Namesake Prince Massimo Tittoni. Massimo just so happens to own the fabric she loves and desperately needs.

I swear Masi should be a Sex Mantra after reading this book..lol
I loved the charisma and chemistry these two share. Plus all the balls out crazy stuff that happens when they accompany one another. Nothing makes a womans claws come out more than screwing with her man. The book is a voyeuristic dreamscape. Lets face it we read these sexually charged books for the drama and sexcapades to play out. Naughty spectators that we are!
I love Avery Asters writing style and straight up machismo she throws down on the page. She has a open honesty about sex, love and all the sticky situations that come with the two!

Chasing the Shadows by Keri Arthur
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

For the 3rd installment of Nikki and Michael, the story continues on much as the story has been for sometime.They love each other but can't seem to coexist. Michael Loves Nikki way to much to really include her in the majority of his life.... his work. Even though they always, always wind up seeking out some wack job killer and working together. "Nobody puts Baby in a corner", kinda attitude Nikki.. Will not be left behind, or at least not until she finds her own trouble to sort out. With a new threat to help solve will these two finally just bend, merge, dunno what to call it but I mean if you can totally get on fantastic in the sack why not with everything else.
Can't wait to see where these to go in the next installment!

To Kill A Warlock by H.P. Mallory
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really loved the Jolie Wilkins series.. so I figured why not right?


Dulcie is a Regulator, pretty much a paranormal cop. She is investigating the murder of the jerk who turned her into a loogie... Gross. That is how the book opened up her being a gooey glob with multiple appendages. LOVED it. While investigating the murder, other people come up dying too in the same dismembering way.

Trying to uncover the culprit responsible so many crazy/funny things happen to this girl. You have Knight, the Loki Hottie love drunk on a location spell. Bram sexy 20 something Vampire who used her bestie to get close to her... or say they say. Quillan her boss who is acting all un-boss like and such. What is a girl to do??

I loved the enforcement/authority role Dulcie plays. She is a well rounded heroine with a strong sense of right and wrong. She has so many guys trying to get in her pants I can't wait till the next book to see if any of them actually do.

The supporting characters had unforgettable qualities which made it a well played out book!

Dead Sexy Dragon by Lolita Lopez
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Dragons are a girls best friend... But what happens when you are stuck in the friend zone desiring more?

Stig loner dragon shifter is trying to ward off any compromising attention to his good friends sister. Who would have foreseen her showing up right as his mating/heat cycle started. Some would say fate, other would say freaking hell.
Cora's brother passed away and the only person to gain protection from would be Stig, her heart swooning crush. Just as her world starts to go up in smoke, her last safe harbor just might be in Stig's arms.

I don't like to give too much away in my reviews, this being said. I found the book to written well and a creative story with very sexy adult time! The only reason I gave it a low score was it seem really short, and rushed. I read the history between the Stig and Cora and I get it, and I love the adult sexy time...lol But I felt the story was laid out really well and then boom it whisked away and was over. I love detail, not the long winded 5 page descriptive but I mean a little more between the sex would have been enjoyable.

Viper by Patricia A. Rasey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the biker series that is erupting as of late. It may have been around awhile but I must say (while I fan myself) they are some hot reads.

So we have Vampire motorcycle club getting some heat in their small town, for a couple of murders going on. Not just any murders but each victim was drained of all their blood.

Detective Cara Brahnam coming back to her old stomping ground running from a bit of bad history. This seems to be a pattern for Cara, she left the small town for some unbelievable stuff. It wasn't like she was part of the small donor club that serviced the local Vamps. How could she possibly comprehend what she saw.

Moving back to be with the only family she has,the detective is putting forth her very best to find the psychotic killer draining the local blonds. All her evidence leads her back to where her nightmare derive from...Kane Tepes. The Pres. of the Sons MC and one hot piece of tail.

This book was a fast paced thrill ride. I love the Vampire/Cop situation or complication. Cara and Kane both really different but compelled to each other. The back rounds plot that surfaces was thrilling and heartbreaking. I am so pumped for the next book!!

Again Ladies you like the SOA show you will love the Vampire version!

How To Discipline Your Vampire by Mina Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Equal parts of: Sex, Hysterical laughter, Domination and Submitting.

I really didn't know what to expect with this book. But after the first couple of pages I had no choice but to finish!!

It was just hilarious with hot steamy sensual submission. You have a Vampire Sub, Topped by a Petite Substitute teacher. If that isn't a setup for a punchline I don't know what to tell you. Cerise on a manhunt for a bottom to top... She is just tired of all the half steppers out there and demands absolute submission and role playing whenever the Hell she wants it.. In comes William poor Vamp just wants to get spanked and dominated, is that too much to ask???

Sparks fly after a chance 3 minute question session and the rest you can say is history..
Did I mention Bizzy? She has to be my favorite character in the whole book...She is a true Dom.. With very demanding nature...lmao

I loved the book it was fun and witty and Dirty!! I laughed so many times at the verbiage and the crazy scenarios. 5 star read hands down!!!!

In a Cowboy's Bed by Cat Johnson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Two for the road.
Cute short story about having it all and nothing at the same time. Heather London dashing away from an overbearing mother and the public eye heads out on her own. Only to be found again by two wholesome cowboys willing to share her pleasure.
I found the novella fun and enjoyable, with the only setback was the lack of emotional draw. The guy are sweet and written well but they are either horny, jealous or mad....lol

Soul of a Cowboy:
Controversial issues are not going to stand in the way of the heat Kathy and Mike have. Brought together and may never part after some cold beer and pizza. These two act upon the whole "go with what feels right" , love that follow your instinct! The detail in this Short was cosmic!!! So profound in every way I feel as though it was not a full length book it was complete in the seduction and follow through...right till the end. (Well done )

Twin Boots:
Pride is a terrible thing to wedge itself between lovers. Nick so worried about what kinda life he could provide Keely, his long time desire didn't realise time may just run out. When they spend day in and out together, will they finally come together again???
Another really good novella.. I love short stories they take you away for a glimmer, and with some you still have that fulfillment. Where you got the whole story..this is a perfect example.

Dangerous by Jax
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well this being the second Morphate book I have read. I must admit I am so hooked!!

How do you control the uncontrollable? Kill the unkillable?
Now imagine a genetically modified immortal being made out of "the run of the mill" psychopath. That is where the whole Morphate series stems from...

Devon Chandler a Morphate in disguise as a human. I would say an average woman, but nothing about Devon is remotely close to that. Sole handedly responsible for leveling the playing field when it comes to humans and Morphates. Devon harnessed the only way known to kill her kind, making it possible to help put down any forces trying to take over and enslaving mankind. This does lead to a small hiccup in her happily ever after, since some of the clans would rather put her down before she can unleash her technology.

In comes Liam Nash, all American bad ass/ bodyguard. Liam is just trying to button up his next assignment when he is physically assaulted/titillated by Devon's existence. Just his name on her lips sets off his hanky panky mode. Which is so startling out of character, he comes to doubt his role in keeping her safe.

This story is a work of art...lol So much depth and flirtatious fun melded with searing passion. The balance held throughout the story is just awe inspiring. The playful banter between these two skilled killers was fun to read about. Watching them each unfurl from what they once were, clearly accepting who each of them are to each other. Love at its finest!!

A Royal Heartbreak by Marian Tee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Oh what tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive" or desire"

For this book that saying goes a long way...
Following up with the tragic heart stopping issue Misty has with Dominico~ I mean brutal humiliation...

This book really doesn't skip a beat with wear we left off with the first book. I loved the reinforcing of all my favorite characters and where their allegiance lies with the chaos about to rain havoc on our lovely couple.

Misty has become a better version of herself by living with the Fae, stronger and yet still quite broken inside. She has been learning to not only fight with a sword but also what to fight for. You can never be sure where the hearts will be lead during your reading of this book. Will Misty and Dominico ever think they are worth one another?? What about the Hot Co-Ambassador Lysander, Misty is working with?? All these suitors and not enough time. So many kept secrets in this second installment of the Moretti Wolves.
Marian Tee has carefully constructed a fantastic stage for the series to unfold upon. So many ways to take it and I for one will be there reading the entire way.

Are you looking for deception, hot Passion and fueled desire then this is the place to be..

Exotica by Eden Bradley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Exotica: Where you can explore fantasies and yourself.

I can't tell you which part I enjoyed best, it would be like asking is the first bite of a sundae better than the last??

I loved that the book had 2 parts, 2 stories of exploration and growth.
Each had similarities but entirely different.
Within the stories you'll find people carrying around the extra pain and anguish from what life has given them. Yet fate and I dare say sexual healing???...lol Bring the couples to letting go of pretences and embrace the love they deserve.
The vivid description of Exotica takes you there. The emotionally pack pages draws you in, and the wild uninhibited adult time keeps you reading.

Eden Bradley has a way of delivering very diverse sexual situations mixed with regularity... Makes you read what she has written and just except that opening up in such a way is okay. Better yet normal.

Unbalanced by Kate Douglas
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Each of these book were really short thank goodness. I really can say I didn't enjoy them. Sorry I was asked for an honest review. It had nothing to do with the m/m/f. or m/m adult time. It was simply the way it was written, that it didn't have any emotion driving the story of the three.
The characters were partially developed, it also had the convenience issue. Meaning: when a problem arose it was conveniently resolved.
Time displacement was a big letdown for me as well right from the start. Going into Chapter 3 first book, Addie was just bitten and is now with Jett and Locan..It talks about how her abilities have grown each day ???Each day It has only been 1?? Then right after Addie pops into their life Jet and Locan just conveniently find in each other the love they never knew...
I had hope the books would get better but the story line is under developed and need time to unfold.

I received the Box set for an honest review.
Just because these didn't cut it for me doesn't mean I ill not read any other of Kate Douglas' books

Claimed by Stacey Kennedy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First off I want to say I loved the originality of the names...lol I know that sounds cheesy but sometimes when you read the same genre for years, you find the same names present.
Claimed was a sinfully/sexually packed book..lol The story is along the lines of other great D/s books. Yet it lacked the pettiness and sometimes unrealistic drama. Which is good!! I found the characters loving, Dominate and exciting to read about!
Each scene was tasteful and hot to be sure. I look forward to reading more into this new Club Sin and all it has to offer.
If you enjoy D/s books, you will not be disappointed you picked this up.. putting it down might be on the difficult side though!

The Barbarian's Mistress by Nhys Glover
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Picked this little gem up on amazon for free.

And I am so happy I did. The Barbarian's Mistress was really good. I found the book to be a longer read than I expected but, it needed to be.
With the length you get 2 stories of love and devotion. After the first 2 chapters I really got into to the story, and the adventure our two lovers embark on!

Hearts in Darkness by Keri Arthur
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hearts in Darkness is such an appropriate title!

The continued story of our struggling lovers is a great sequel! One that gives you hope they will work their sh*t out. To be frank...lol I loved the struggle they each faced with being together and apart.

Thrown into various dark situations that can strengthen their bond or end both completely. With old loves flame so close and dark forces trying to out wit Nikki and Michael, you never know what will happen.

The raw emotion these two feel when the other is in peril leads you to hope it will all just work out in the end. But the other shoes drops when they least expect it at every turn. Can the happiness they have found in each others arms last..? I for one can't wait to see what is next?

I love the action and thrilling ride Keri Arthur leads you on.
Each book is packed with love, suspense and creativity all the way around. The fighting for each other and against mutual foes never tires and never replicates, always something new and exhilarating.
