Flight from Hell (Otherworld #15.5)

Flight from Hell (Otherworld #15.5)Flight from Hell by Yasmine Galenorn
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Like other likeminded paranormal book lovers who doesn’t enjoy a D’Artigo sisters book?

Flight from Hell is a novella about Shimmer an outcast Blue Dragon that is sent to Earth as a punishment. With no powers to defend herself she soon falls prey to an elusive vampire (a upcoming enemy to the sisters if you ask me). Menolly is on the hunt for the vampire siring all the wreck loose vampire that are leaving a trail of blood in their wake, when she is asked to look in on Shimmer as a favor. This is when the shit really hits the fan.
First there seems to be an uncharted vampire taking up residence in Seattle. Alex Radcliffe, funny he runs in similar circles as the D’Artigo sisters, they know a lot of the same allies. I have a feeling he will be of great use in the future books. Working together the sisters and Alex pinpoint their nemesis.

I have loved these books in the past I found this one to be extremely descriptive. Like pages for the back drop and pages about the park and pages about how they all run in similar circles. Yet Shimmer doesn’t show up again until around 70% percent of the book has been read. That was what brought the stars down for me. It was all searching and chatting and then a brief moment of action followed by more question building for the next book. I hoped this was a standalone novella I was left unfulfilled. The good thing is if you have read this short story you can use it as an introduction to these new players in the D’Artigo sister’s books.

Unseen (Unborn, #2)

Unseen (Unborn, #2)Unseen by Amber Lynn Natusch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unseen the second book following up after Unborn where Khara the only surviving female child of Ares decides that the only answers she is going to get are waiting for her in Hell. Where is her mother? How did she fall? Why was she given up? How convenient The Dark One Oz is willing to transport her there for a price of course. Yet after his last deception who knows what Oz’s agenda has in store. One thing for sure is after finishing the book I am no closer to that answer….lol

Amber Lynn Natusch has this poetic rhythm ever present in these two books. This dark steady wordplay, that is a bonus as far as I am concerned. Not sure if it is just for Khara’s character (since I have only read these two books). I love the simplistic yet directness that is Khara. Her unwavering black and white world is forever shattered now that she “feels”. I personally think Unseen was the perfect title for this book. (So much is Unseen) Feelings are a tricking thing to live with if you ask me…a solution may be present and can make sense yet if you feel against it your judgment may sway. Basically Khara seemed cold (yet curious) in the first book but had this steadfast attitude, she was very confident. In Unseen there is sooo much going on that it is hard to see the enemy. All these emotions Khara has, her new self is questioning and motivated by her love and this new heart ache that has taken up in her chest since she stole away from her brothers.

Love is blindness.

It can and will change the way you see people.

Khara is a force unlike anything imaginable when it comes to protecting her family. Her actions speak of this clearly; I only hope it was worth the consequences. . This blindness was calculating and patient much like love. Also it totally bit her in the ass.

The Oz and Khara relationship is still a battle of wits an even though Oz has proven (in my eyes) where his heart and loyalty lies I can see why she is so cautious. One thing is for certain he has shown that he will be a safe harbor for her fall in. Also when he does claim her OMG it will be a thing of beauty. The chemistry and attraction that is building between these two can only lead to a crescendo of fireworks.

Sad to say there is no hanky panky in this book…sniffles. I do have a feeling it will be worth the wait! What the book lacks in actual sex it makes up for with intrigue and desire. Still a win! Nail biting anticipation for the next book. Things I have to know, like the necromancer was she in on it? WTH is up with Deimos and Hades. Will Drew get his head on straight? Damn it will Oz kiss the girl already…?!So much to come and so many days to wait.

I received this for an honest review. I can honestly say this series is more than meets the eye! Love it!

Claimed by Earth (The Watchtower Chronicles, #2)

Claimed by Earth (The Watchtower Chronicles, #2)Claimed by Earth by Delwyn Jenkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Several things drew me in to read the book Claimed By Earth: The Watchtower Chronicles 2…First it is a paranormal book about witches Second it was under Erotica…wink~ Third I was totally ensnared by the cover and excerpt .

I came to an amazing reality whilst I read this book, there has to be hundreds of amazing authors out there. I know it sounds quite weird but I always play it safe with books. I grab the author I know when needing a fix. Yet I know nothing of Delwyn Jenkins and this is the first I have sampled from her and it was another book that left me in awe.

This world Between Worlds were magic is used and wielded and cherished almost as much as the Watchtower Knights cherish their Quatre. Dahnan Witches not only cast according to their element they bond as sisters making a Quatre. These 4 elemental witches are revered and adored by their cohort of dutiful Watchtower Knights. Coming together to fight against an old evil hell bent on using the Dahnan witches magic to take over the World Below. Malleus filled with a vile dark blood magic has to double his efforts since coming into contact with Mycah the first Earth witch to ever use her magic to cause harm. Everything has a consequence.

Dahnan’s cardinal rule: Do what ye will, but harm ye none. (Like ever even if your life depended on it.)

Being an unconventional witch like Mycah is nothing will stop her from keeping her loved ones safe. Mycah..love that name is the heroine in this book a strong woman that speaks not just for herself and her loved ones but she makes a stand for the voiceless too. All these element welding ladies study and hone in their skill at the Collegium. Pretty much a magic college…that’s right you guessed it. Again the clarity in which this world is constructed shines through.

Sabastian is a Watchtower Knight that has every intention of making Mycah his in every delicious way possible… no really it's all here in black and white. The story has a phenomenal build up that spills into the budding relationship between Bas and Mycah. Then it shifts from a great paranormal book to a paranormal erotic dream. One that makes you crave the one you love the most and then haphazardly tear their clothes off. The sex was divinely written and scorching white hot. I adored every moment and beautiful detail!

The love and devotion that shown through went beyond Bas and Mycah, the secondary characters had an old school “ I have your back attitude” one you rarely see now a days. The support makes them strong enough to face the darkest days. And I assure you as much light in this book there was an equivalent darkness trying to snuff it out. That careful balance tiered on such a delicate edge, I love an author who gives and takes. You have to have sacrifices in every great book! Not all make it to the end, not everybody gets a happy ending. This makes the outcome extremely hard to guess. SCORE!

Also seeing this is the second book it can totally be read all by its lonesome. I found this book so well scripted and I will read more of this author and also start to read out of my comfort zone. I would hate to miss out just because I have never had the pleasure before. 5 star read! Hands Down!!!

Christmas Brides

Christmas BridesChristmas Brides by Suzanne Enoch
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I happen to need a fantastic Historical Romance in my life from time to time~
Now throw (4) together in one book, sign me up!!!
These four installments that made up Christmas Brides (I know I’m a tiny bit late) were down right fantastic! They had the completeness of a book all the way around~

The common part for each short was the Christmas setting and the fact that I found each author to be STUPENDOUS! I read a lot I might add and I don’t think I have even tasted the magic each has had to offer in Historical Romance! FOR SHAME I tell you! I am dumbfounded that these treasures are just there waiting for me to open them up and devour them… Very soon my pretties.

Sigh, I adored this anthology, I am quite sad that it has ended. Each part was wonderful and saturated with historical grandness and romance. One moment I am sure that the book could not get any better, but it does! It really does.. Thumbing from page to page I was laughing and giggling then fanning myself accordingly!

If by any chance you love I mean love Historical Romance or let’s say to are looking to fall in love with a good book or (4) authors this is the Book for you! I swear it.

If you are looking at this book or review stop what you are doing and just read it.

I received this ARC for an Honest review, I am honestly sad I read it so quickly~

Rocky Mountain Miracle

Rocky Mountain MiracleRocky Mountain Miracle by Christine Feehan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Being a fan of Christine Feehan’s shifter series and enjoying how well equipped the worlds she creates is … I was really drawn to Rocky Mountain Miracle… I mean can’t we all use one, a miracle that is?

Scars are a funny thing they can be obvious or obscure. This Holiday Novella that inspires hope was such a luxurious read for the senses. I found myself just as anxious to figure out the mysterious perpetrator as to when the Doc. would finally give Cole the sexual healing he needed….lol

Each of their encounters had a heightened energy infused into the page, you could almost feel it. Maia’s healing nature is triggered by Cole. She can sense the damage that is deeply buried and camouflaged by his steel will and sexy demeanor. Cole is enraptured by Maia’s soul soothing capabilities. This really kept the balance in the book. I find that I am really attracted to books where love is a new found territory for both parties. Kinda like a very sexy dance…where each partner gracefully flows in time with the other. The fear of showing your soft under belly to another person, fear of waiting for a stab rather that a stroke is what really hinders relationships. So the whole time I was reading in the back of my mind I was hoping the sexual need pouring off these two would out way the fear. Amen, because when it happens it happens.

Cole’s role is the Alpha dominate male protecting his brother and trying to overcome the nightmares of his past in hopes to show his brother moving on is a real possibility. If anyone could inspire a shot at a loving happy life it’s Maia. Even the wild animals feel safe and trusting with her. The back story for Jase and Cole is a sad reality that some people actually do go through. This story sheds light (I think) on honest struggles people could have. The book goes full circle and really warms the soul and the senses.

The heat level for the book is steamy and imaginative…lol By that I mean Not crazy erotica going on but it is superb.
I received this for an honest review, and It honestly was terrific~
