Blurb:
It should have been just another ordinary stroll through the woods for Red, but when she finds a wounded wolf by the edge of the road, she can't help but stop. Her kind, gentle heart ensures she won't let a creature suffer, no matter how dangerous it is. But healing the animal's wounds has unexpected consequences, and she's shocked as she watches it transform from a vicious beast into a man she once knew.

Jonah isn't sure she shouldn't have just let him die. His curse has turned him into a monster, and his unnatural hunger makes him something less than human. Red is in danger as long as he's around, but he can't bring himself to leave her without teaching her a thing or two about the perils of rescuing strays.

His lessons are erotic, punishing, and intense. But the biggest threat he poses isn't to Red's body... it's to her heart.


Gabrielle's Review:

Kaylee Grayson gives readers a whole new look at Red and her famous cloak with this book. This story takes Red on a different journey. I love fairytales and have always wondered about the what ifs and in this story we get a great what if. Wolves and huntsmen are still enemies but in this world wolves are so much more and Red has found a way to tame her wolf. I enjoyed watching the relationship blossom between Red and her wolf. The emotions are high and the love that the two share is strong. Jonah is so full of love but afraid that he will hurt anyone who is close to him, but Red is more than willing to risk it all on their love. I enjoyed watching Red show Jonah that their love is something worth fighting for. She gives herself over to Jonah fully and willingly and Jonah can do no more than love her even more. He begins this journey with the idea of teaching Red a lesson but it looks as if she is the one with the lesson to teach. This was a wonderful read and great start to a new series. I cannot wait to see how this story will continue.

"Helena" by Brindle Chase

Blurb:
Helena must have fallen into disfavor with Mother Superior. Her latest assignment to pose as a stripper and infiltrate the notorious underworld lair Gothic City Lights was outrageous! She -- an angel of charity -- was required to display her pure, perfect flesh to bait and eliminate a demon lord.

Demon-hunter Antonio Bendicini was bred for war. Sent to Portland to reduce the rampant population of demons there, he is quickly mired in an ancient war between angel and demon.

Both after the same mark, their paths collide. Helena could never have prepared herself for Antonio. Huge, hideously scarred from years of battle, and ugly, he was a true warrior, just like she, and he ignited something she’d never felt before: lust.

In "Beauty and the Beast" fashion, their desires entwine with molten ferocity and she falls to her want. Helena realizes she cannot complete her mission, because her heart belongs to the human. Determined to devise a new plan where she need not display her naked flesh for any man save Antonio, Helena is captured by the demon lord. Antonio must swallow his pride, stay his wrath, and join forces with the angels to rescue her before she is killed -- or worse -- defiled.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable: violence.



Tsteinerid's Review:
Helena is being forced to do something she doesn’t understand and certainly won’t enjoy: Stripping!

Helena is an angel of charity. She lives to save souls and to help others in need. Her spare time is spent at the homeless shelters, feeding, clothing and giving herself over to others. Her next assignment is something she has never done. She is to strip nude in front of lustful humans. How does the Mother Superior expect an angel whom is still a virgin to be able to convincingly pull this off? Well, the Mother Superior has sent in a secret weapon: Lilith the half succubus, the heroine from book one.

Antonio is a lonely scarred man on a mission. His only reason for living is the eradication of demons. Night after night he goes out on the prowl to clean up the streets and protect humans from these vile evil creatures. One night in a dark alley and his life is changed forever.

Both Helena and Antonio are hunters. Both basically enjoy their jobs, but from the moment they meet they question everything. Their passion is scorching, their coupling sinful, and neither want to give each other up. They never expected to find each other, but now that they have, one of them will have to give up their calling to finally enjoy happiness.

This is the second book that I have read from Mr. Chase. I’m very pleasantly surprised at the depth of the plot and the world building. He has taken a normally religious subject, spiced it up, but didn’t take away the integrity of the institution, well at least in my opinion. I really enjoyed how he built the whole universe. The mechanics behind their hierarchy is comprehensive and very fascinating. I also love how he has taken the idea that everything deserves love, even angels. I couldn’t agree more.

Mr. Chase writes very hot scenes and storylines that are unique and detailed. I really enjoy his style and his imagination. He is a diamond in my reading world of mainly women authors. He sparkles and shines and I plan to read more books written by him. Mostly, I hope he visits Gothic City Lights again. I’ll be on the lookout for that one.

Trauma surgeon Dr. Dallas Olson is too busy to date. Signing up with Madame Eve’s 1Night Stand service seems like a good plan, but his plans are sidelined when he’s nearly killed by a wolf attack. While still recovering and dealing with unexplainable side effects, he nevertheless agrees to meet the woman Madame Eve found for him.

Looking forward to her 1Night Stand date, werewolf shifter Cara Johnson is disappointed when it’s canceled unexpectedly. When Madame Eve lets her know that the man she should have met has suffered a wolf attack, Cara fears he’ll become a rogue werewolf himself during the next full moon. Unless she finds him and brings him home to her pack before that happens, her Alpha will have no choice but to kill him.

With only days left before the full moon, Cara and Dallas meet. He thinks it’s a one-night stand. She thinks it’s a mission to save his life. Madame Eve has other ideas.



REVIEWERS NAME Review:
I am totally addicted to the 1Night Stand series, and each one holds something uniquely different, yet they are all connected to the mysteriously infamous Madame Evangeline. Rebecca Royce is a phenomenal paranormal romance author and her newest addition to the 1NS series is amazing!

Dr. Dallas Olson...now that is a character to fall in love with! Devoted to his job, he never has time to date. But, he's really wanting to step outside the box and give it a try so he signs up for the infamous 1NS service. But, his plans change when he's suddenly attacked by a wolf. The side affects of the attack aren't what he was expecting. And neither is his date.....

Cara Johnson is saddened to learn that her dates been canceled....until she learns the true reason behind it. Now it's up to her to save her date's life. What she finds out though, is more than she could have ever asked for.......and her mission to save the Doctor's life, just got better.

Madame Eve's services are truly amazing in this series! I love how she knows just who needs who and why. When you add the workings of the talented authors, like Ms. Royce, it combines for wonderful, quick stories to pass the time! If you love sexy passionate doctors, shifting wolves and happily ever afters, then you definitely don't want to miss Rebecca Royce's Paging Doctor Wolf!

Blurb:
Cats and dogs shouldn't fall in love. Like any wolf, RPD detective Nate Rivera knows this. He can’t help it if the tigress he’s been trading quips with at the supermarket is the most alluring woman he’s ever met—sassy too, which suits him down to his designer boots.

Evina Mohajit is aware their flirtation can’t lead to more. Still, she relishes trading banter with the hot werewolf. This hardworking single mom hasn’t felt so female since her twins’ baby daddy left to start his new family. Plus, as a station chief in Resurrection’s Fire Department, she understands the demands of a dangerous job.

Their will-they-or-won’t-they tango could go on forever if it weren’t for the mortal peril the city’s shifter children fall into. To save them, Nate and Evina must team up, a choice that ignites the sparks smoldering between them . . .



Molly's Review:
Holy hot werewolf! This was amazingly awesome! I loved every minute of this passion filled, suspenseful story! I did not want it to end! Every page turn was something new, every word keeps the reading hanging on to the next. I not only fell in love with the plot line, I fell in love with Nate and Evina. They are two totally opposite souls, but together, they ignite a passion that is so strongly burning that the reader better have a fan close by!

Nate is a werewolf, Evina a weretiger. They definitely should not mix, right? I mean, seriously? Cats and Dogs? Wow. But, somehow, Ms. Holly made it work perfectly! Nate is trying to learn that he's a good werewolf and beta to his Alpha. But, there's one problem. Something is going on in this city and it's definitely not good. He knows that the woman he's been seeing and trading quips with in the supermarket is just the one to help him. Problem is, she's a weretiger. And she's sexy as hell.

Evina knows she shouldn't mix with the wolf. But, he's to-die-for sexy and she loves the way they spar with their words. It's fun and exciting. She's completely on board for helping Nate figure out what is going on with the town. It's putting the children in danger and she needs to protect her twins.

Can these two amazing shifters put aside their spark-flying passion and team up to safe the town from something evil in the works? Or will their cats-and-dogs-can't-mix love cause more havoc than good ?

Finding out the answers to those questions and so much more was truly amazing! I seriously did not want this story to end. And while, it's the third in a series, Ms. Holly keeps us up to date perfectly with past characters. Definitely a highly recommended read if you looking for an awesome paranormal suspense filled with toe-curling passion!

Blurb:
It was just a fling. Lilith Templeton had no clue he was a human agent working for the angels. No big deal, but she got caught and Mother Superior, Portland’s most powerful angel, wants penance. Or death, Lilith’s choice. Being a lowly half-demon and therefore not a participant in the never-ending war for souls, she knows it's insane to cross the full-blood demons like Mother Superior wants. But opting out isn't an option: do or die. For additional penance, she's paired with an angel who not only ignites her lust but something more. Lilith wants to fall in love, to know what it was like to share herself with just one man. Yet since succubi needed to stay sexually satisfied, falling in love with the angel of chastity is a mistake she can’t afford.

Gabriel would have never second-guessed his choice to ascend through the virtue of chastity. Until he meets Lilith. Now, his ascension would be forfeit if he cannot vanquish his need for her. Having no choice but to ignore the fire burning inside them, they work towards tempting the demon cult’s human leader into revealing the hideout. Lilith, sexually irresistible half-succubus, is the perfect bait. Get in, send the signal and wait for the angel to rescue her. Oh and not get killed, or tempt the angel. Simple, right?



Tsteinrid's Review:
Gothic City Lights is a look into the supernatural underworld of Portland, Oregon. Where demons and angels are in a constant battle and lives are at risk.

Can a demon have “good” in them? Can an angel harbor sin in his heart? Those are questions that arise in Gothic City Lights. While the concept of good hearts in demons and an angel with sin on his mind is not new, this story is intriguing.

Lilith is a half demon. She is constantly trying to satisfy her succubus cravings. With sex being the only thing on her mind, the only thing her body craves, it’s her heart that wants more. Years and years of non-stop sex is getting old and the games are getting boring. Lilith needs to mix things up. She didn’t think wishing for change would drop an angel in her lap.

Gabriel has a mission to accomplish, but why is Mother Superior bringing in a demon to help? Not to mention a demon that stirs forbidden things in an angel of chastity. He must remain strong, but it’s really difficult when she is everything that he never knew he desired.

Forced to work together is one thing, but to be forced to live together 24/7 is another. Gabriel is battling his desire to taste and claim her and Lilith is battling new feelings of desire that even a succubus should never have to feel. They each will lose themselves if they fail to stay apart, but how can they, when love begins to fill their hearts.

Something drew me to this story. Even after coming off another book that had deep religious undertones and eroticism that disappointed me, I couldn’t help but want to read this story. I can honestly say that Gothic City Lights did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the foundation of this story. The old good versus evil plotline has been told again and again, but this take was filled with angst and passion. I was constantly wondering how these two people were finally going to come together and I can say that I didn’t see the “how” coming.

Mr. Chase did well and I can’t wait for the next in the series. So why did I not rate this higher then? While I was intrigued with the story it didn’t make me NOT want to put it down. I could walk away and do other things. When a book is really great for me, I just can’t do that.

I do have to give this book credit for making me think though. I was continuously thinking about it. Lilith and Gabriel were on my mind and their plight was burned into my brain. I wanted them together, but just was so unsure how it was going to happen. Mr. Chase really did do a fabulous job working that out. He has a new fan and I am looking forward to the next in the series, Gothic City Lights: Helena. Keep up the great work. This book is a winner!

Blurb:
Carly Penn is thrilled when her older brother, Joe, marries her dear friend, Kaylee, with the help of the 1Night Stand service. Now, looking for a final bout of passion to carry her through as terminal cancer steals her life, she’s turned to Madame Eve for herself. She doesn’t expect a happy ending, just a single night to remember as she faces the end of her days.

Vampire Agoston Barabás was forced to watch his true love, Dorika, murdered two hundred earlier, and clings to her dying promise to return to him. He takes one night at a time, never loving or becoming involved with another as he waits for his lover to find him. When he meets his date from 1Night Stand, he’s shocked to discover she carries the soul of his Dorika and the heart of a woman he could love.

As their fates collide in passionate lovemaking, Agoston offers Carly an unexpected option—live or die together. Dare she risk eternity with a vampire, even if his tender touch brings her a greater joy than she has ever known?



Meingee's Review:
After seeing the wonderful job Madame Evangeline did in matching her brother to his mate, Carly longs for such happiness even if it is for just one night. Now that she is fighting for her life she wants to experience love or at least something like it one last time before she goes. Little does she know that her date for the night is a vampire who is in search of his love that he so painfully lost so many years ago. Will this date be what Carly expects or will she find more than what she is looking for?

This was a sweet and romantic read. Carly is such a strong woman you cannot do anything but love her. She quickly endears herself to the reader. Gus is a wonderful man. He pined for his old lover but when he meets Carly he falls for her just as she is and is more than ready to do what he can to keep her. I enjoyed watching the attraction that the two have turn into so much more. I loved the banter between the two. Watching Gus shows his feelings and how much he wants Carly was a beautiful read. I also enjoyed how this story was connected to another story in the series. If you follow this series it makes for a nice touch. I enjoyed my visit into this world and cannot wait to visit again.

Blurb:
Lia Swain didn’t intend to be the Glass House’s newest exotic dancer with her very own glass booth. Left with millions in debt by her late father and her mother’s mounting chemotherapy bills, Lia is forced to strip seductively for the vampire elite, even though she’s still a virgin. Buried in problems, she has no room for a man, sex, or love.

Alex Crawford is a sexy Original vampire from one of the wealthiest Strigoi families. He joins the prestigious Glass House and finds himself entranced by the beautiful and mysterious mortal, Lia. His brother was burned by a human mate, and he vowed to never let the same fate befall him. Yet he can’t deny the bloodlust he feels for Lia that rouses his inner beast. Her virgin blood compels him, and her sexy essence enslaves him. He vows to make her his.



Sam's Review:
Heart of Glass is an emotional and sexy story which I found captivating from the first page.

Lia Swain is dealing with her father's bad debts and her mother's medical debts. In order to try and make ends meet she ends up working in the Glass House as an exotic dancer for vampire elite. She's a virgin and is currently one of the most sort after dancers within the house. When Alex Crawford scents her, he knows he wants her for himself. The rest of the story is about their fight to be together with a lot of twists and turns.

Dede Craig has managed to combine vampires, sex, plot and emotion into one of fantastic book. Lia and Alex want each other but his vampire side scares her. What I like is the author showed the fear and lust that Lia felt for Alex. Her feelings toward him were not instant but something that had to be worked on.

Overall I thought this was a brilliant book, well written, with characters you loved reading.

I would highly recommend this book.

Blurb:
Dyanna Archer loves her husband, but Anthony begins to act strange--dangerous. She doesn't know why until she discovers his connection to mysterious and dangerous Club Silver Moon. Dyanna is desperate to save her marriage and discover the mystery of Anthony's unusual behavior. What she discovers there will change her life forever by ending it. Her husband's selfishness leads her down a path of terrible transformation, and after her first night at Club Silver Moon, Dyanna wakes up a vampire. With the help of a new and powerful friend, she learns to control her new needs and understand just what she's become. Dyanna imprisons herself as she and her friend plan their revenge. Even after all the pain, Dyanna can't bring herself to hate Anthony. Can she save herself and her husband?



Sam's Review:
Betrayal is a really quick read. Dyanna Archer loves her husband, Anthony, but believes he has cheated on her after he doesn't return home for a length of time on a boys night out. After he does, her husband changes and then he phones her and says if she doesn't him at Club Silver Moon she won't see him again.

This is an interestingly quick tale which involves witches and vampires. I found the plot to be very fast paced and really catching. I would have loved to have seen this as a longer book, purely because of how good it was. Ashylnn Monroe has written a quick, intense but still enjoyable read. I don't want to say too much with the plot as it could spoil the book. I like the way Dyanna is confused and her emotions are described throughout the book perfectly.

For years, shapeshifter Gunther West has known Judy is his mate. His little human isn't so sure. But a tragedy brings her knocking on his door seeking comfort, which Gunther is more than ready to provide. Neither can deny the sparks that fly, but are those sparks enough for forever?



Meingee's Review:
Love will find its way; at least that is what Gunther has believed for the last few years while waiting for his mate Judy to accept him. Judy has continuously pushed him away until today. Something has brought her to his room in the middle of the night and he intends to find out what is wrong. Gunther will help his mate whether or not she wants him to.

This story was both hot and sweet at the same time. Gunther is a good man and is more than willing to wait Judy out. She is his mate and he will do what needs to be done when it comes to her happiness. I enjoyed meeting Gunther and Judy but would have liked to have a bit more of a back-story and more character development. It would have been nice to see why Judy keeps pushing Gunther away. Yet the story that I read did indeed pull at my heartstrings and the author brought me a sweet story about two destined people. Showing us that if you believe in love things will turn out all right in the end.

I may not have enjoyed this quick read as much as some of this authors previous work but I did find myself engrossed in this world and hope it is not the last time that we are able to visit it.

Blurb:
Always the dutiful daughter, Elly Harding knows the only way to protect her father is to sacrifice her own happiness and marry a man she can never love, but when an unexpected honeymoon gift presents her with the opportunity to explore the darker desires this proper young woman has always repressed, how can she possibly give up what could be her last chance for sexual freedom…and love?

Once a Viking warrior, Haakon Arikson never lacked for women in his bed...until he insulted the wrong one. For almost a millennium he has been cursed to walk alone, living an odd half-life as a stallion by day and a man by night. Tired and lonely he craves oblivion, but the only way to end his curse is to kill the one girl who makes him feel more alive than any other has for centuries.



Sam's Review:
Haakon Arikson has been cursed for eternity to walk the earth as a horse by day and by night turn back to man. The only way to break the curse is by killing Elly Harding, the last decedent of the woman who cursed him. However, Haakon never expected to fall in love with the plain Elly and has found he can’t kill her.

This was an interesting read. I’ve never read a tale about a hero who not only has to kill the heroine but also turns into a horse. They embark on a passionate affair and with every moment they spend together with him as a horse and a man the love grows between them. The sex scenes are not only hot and well written but also show the trust growing between them.

The Viking’s Forbidden Pleasure has a few twists and turns along the way and a really great ending. A very good read.

Blurb:
A newborn vampire. A powerful leader. An inconsolable woman. The shaping of their eternity all lies within the eyes.

Steffan Matthews is the devastatingly handsome vampire leader of Ambrose Heights. He cultivates social order and invents concoctions that allow vampires to feel human once again.

But Steffan also has a devouring obsession that brings him to his knees. Her name is Anya. Steffan sets out to claim Anya, a mortal ripe for the taking, as his mate. But the blackness in the eyes of his newborn should’ve served as a warning. Anya is off-limits according to the vampire creed.

It will take the strength of the kinship, the purity of love, a hint of magic, and a subterranean guardian to shield Steffan against the wrath of Ryan Evans, protect him from the fate of the Nemesis, and bridge a passage to his rightful destiny.



Tsteinerid's Review:
Veil of Seduction is an amazing addition to the Ambrose Heights Vampires series. The first book, Flesh Fantasy, was spectacular and this one is right up there with it.

Steffan is a man who believes in love and has waited his whole existence to find it. From the first shock of recognition to the moment of discovery, he was ready and willing to do anything to claim his mate.

Anya has known death. She lost her parents tragically and all she had left for family was her twin sister and her husband. First her husband leaves her, taking everything with him. Then she is informed her sister has recently died. For some unknown reason, her sister Anise has left her everything, including a rather large house in the exclusive community of Ambrose Heights. Now Anya is beginning a new life; filled with music and renewed hope.

Their passion is intense and their love is everlasting. But lurking around the corner is evil and deadly obstacles. These two lovers need to fight their enemies and vampire laws to be together. A little magic, friendship and loyalty will go a long way.

If I had to rate this novel on plot, characters and development alone, it would be a 5+ rating. The only reason it didn’t get the rating is because of editing errors. That is it.

The plot had me wanting to cheat and jump ahead just to see how it ended. I was good and didn’t cheat, but it was very tempting. I found that the characters were simply marvelous; the story was intricate and complex; and the world building was exceptional and inventive. I found myself lost in the tale. I was up until 5 am and had to force myself to go to bed, but lay awake just thinking about the story.

Veil of Seduction is a must read! It most definitely can be read alone, but I can’t help but insist you read Flesh Fantasy first. You won’t regret it!

Marnie's decision to finance her law degree by pole dancing awakens her latent sexuality, and the mysterious stranger lurking in the shadows sends her libido into overdrive.

Realizing her sexy lurker is a vampire is bad enough, but her boss is the alpha wolf of a pack of shifters? Torn between her attraction to both men and surrounded by danger, she has a decision to make. One that will change her life forever.



Sam's Review:
I so hope there is a second book. Doris O’Connor has me griped from this brilliantly written vampire/ werewolf book.

Marnie has taken up pole dancing to help fund her law degree and one night a customer gets too rowdy and is thrown out of the club. When she’s attacked by the same guy walking home and wakes up bruised with no recollection things really start to heat up. Soon she is caught between the attention of a vampire and werewolf and the way she handles herself is pure class. I particularly was routing for Ion in this book. I loved the way he written. How he wanted to protect Marnie from himself and mating.

This was a fantastic book that takes on a different theme between wolves and vampires and I would highly recommend it. I for one look forward to what Doris O’Connor writes next. Excellent work.

Charles Pryce is sinfully sexy. Women fall at his feet, literally. He really knows how to treat a woman, but then he should-he's been around. For over four hundred years! When he meets Samantha, he falls in love for the first time in centuries. He sets about seducing her, and they are blissfully happy until evil Vamp Viktor rears his ugly head. Charles is desperate to win Samantha's heart. He wants her for all eternity, but will she still want him when she discovers his dark secret?

Review:
Charles Pryce has been lonely for a very long time when in walks Samantha. She sassy’s her way up to Charles and they flirt for a few minutes and she leaves. Charles falls in love on the spot. At work Samantha starts getting flowers and after a few days she calls Charles and they meet for dinner. They hit if off and start spending some hot romantic nights together. They can not get enough of each other. Viktor shows up trying to see Charles when he is snubbed. This does not set well with Viktor and plots to get even. He is responsible for turning Charles and he is the Sire. Charles has to save Samantha before Viktor can hurt her.

The characters are well done. Charles and Samantha click and are as one. Their romance is exquisite. Viktor even is a bit likable for a few minutes. He is the villain and like all villains he is liked at one point and hated the next. I loved the setting in England as well.

If you like romance, vampires, suspense then this is the read for you.

Stella Raines was looking for a change. She moved to the small town of Riverville to begin her first year of teaching history. She quickly learns that teaching in such a rural high school is no picnic, but the math teacher in the class down the hall makes her first week all the more intriguing…

Darien Wolfe is a staple of Riverville High School, with his rule-breaking hair and attire. He seems to have taught there since, well, forever. However, Darien never knew how much his long life might change until he notices the new history teacher down the hall.

Their attraction is instant and for eternity, like the stars under the full moon. But can Stella survive Darien’s secret?

Review:
What a refreshingly different take on the werewolf phenomenon!

Stella Raines is drawn to the quaint town of Riverville, Missouri. The old town has classic architecture and a small town feel. Fresh out of college, she accepts a position at the local high school as the European history teacher. On Stella’s first day at the school, she is startled by the sudden appearance of Darien Wolfe, the mathematics teacher. Darien is captivating with his tall body and long brown hair. He has a slight British accent and an old world feel about him.

Their attraction is primal and they are instantly attracted to one another; neither have the desire to fight it. As time passes, a secret begins to invade their lives and threatens to destroy all they share.

Wolfe’s Lady is written by the heroine’s point of view. The story was well paced and engaging. For some reason though, it took me a bit to get into the story. I also had a hard time connecting with the hero. I know I’m contradicting myself. I found that as the story progressed I was pulled into it. My prior reservations were gone and an understanding began.

Maybe I picked up the book expecting something else. I am pleased that I continued reading. It’s not often that you read a book and then have to sit back and think about it. As I sit here and consider, I can see the process and I have more of an appreciation for it.

Wolfe’s Lady is a sweet loving story. The hero is strong but he takes a backseat in the story. His overall presence is there, but this short story revolves around Stella’s journey; her background, feelings and her resolve to love of Darien. Wolfe’s Lady is a sensual delight filled with heart and the true meaning of love and sacrifice.

While her fate was set during the previous great wars of immortals, Anastasia Gruff is nothing but mortal until the night she stumbles upon a scene that turns her world upside down. Now, she struggles to adjust to a world where nothing is what it seems, and feels more at home than ever before.

Devlin Miconis, heir to the vampire throne, is facing certain death. When a mortal woman saves his life, and gives him back his soul, he must figure out how to repay her. Now that she has given him something to live for, can he protect her from those who mean her harm?

Review:
Imagine for a split second living your whole life surrounded by other beings and never realizing what they were? Just another day for Stasia, until she stumbles upon a vampire being killed by a…was that a demon? She takes it surprising well considering she only has known about humans her whole life. So, she reacts, decapitates the demon and saves a very, very sexy vampire. Another one shows up a few seconds later and helps to pull the arrow out of his heart. She can’t help but think of what a shame it would be to lose him. It was almost as if for a split second she had found something really important. So she offers him her blood to help him heal and covers their tracks as the other vampire carries him away. She didn’t even know his name, she muses rather sadly as she leads the demons away from the site that they had just inhabited.

She rushes through the well known streets to get to a rooftop which she used as a hiding spot quite often. She feels a terrible pain climbing up her arm and feels like she is ready to pass out. As she races towards her hideout she notices it has been turned into a magical moonlit garden. She laughs inside her head as she loses consciousness thinking that this day can’t get any weirder.

At least until she wakes up.

This was a really cute and inventive story filled with vampires, demons, Gods, and a cute fairy. I really liked the spin off of the title and how Becraft has created a world in which all the beings exist…maybe not peacefully, but what fun is that? Just wait until you find out about Stasia’s parents. Her brother and father are my favorite characters. They aren’t the main stars but have a great potential to take the lead role if Beacraft decides to make this a series, which I certainly hope she does!

Ghosts, Mystery, and Fashion. Can this diva solve her own murder, or will she be stuck in limbo forever?

After recovering from the shock of seeing her own dead body, (still dressed to kill from last night's party) fashion model, Jaclyn Jade, discovers she's a ghost with a choice. She can either immediately go back to Hell, do nothing and stay in limbo, or find the reason she fell short of grace and advance to Heaven.

Because she was murdered, Jaclyn hopes that finding her killer will unravel this mystery. With the help of a timid closet-psychic who can speak to the dead, and a handsome, yet arrogant, ghost of a man from the roaring 20s, her search for answers initiates a quirky journey of self-discovery. Personalities, eras, and worlds collide as this mismatched trio race against time to solve the mystery of Jaclyn's Ghost.

Review:
Have you ever sat a wondered what happens to you after you die? I can guarantee that the thought never crossed Jaclyn’s mind. Spoiled and self centered, Jaclyn’s world revolved around...well Jaclyn, of course, and she gave special consideration to her hot clothing designer boyfriend.

So waking up dead after she had just left a fabulous party was just not in this supermodel’s plans. Even more disturbing was the fact that a large and very beautiful man who was also dead, and evidently living in her apartment, was her sole source of information. How long had he been there and OMG what had he seen? And seriously, Earth is really Hell? It’s too bad that Logan seriously needed to work on his people skills. She really could use a friend right about now!

Jaclyn has 48 hours to figure out why she wasn’t elevated to Heaven in order to get into Heaven or its back to Hell for her, literally. But since Earth is Hell, is that really a bad thing?

Vann takes you on Jaclyn’s growth with the help of some delightful ghosts, breathers, and as well as some other beings that kept it interesting. This story had me laughing out loud through out most of it with just a hint of romance, mystery, and despair thrown into the mix. It had a great pace and the ending really throws you. It was totally unpredictable! I really enjoyed this book!

Circle City (Lord of the Wolfen: Book 1), by Alisha Paige

Title: Circle City (Lord of the Wolfen: Book 1)

ISBN #: Unknown

Format: eBook from Author

Reviewer: Laurielu

Rating: 3 Cups

Blurb:*

On the edge of civilization, there is a place called Circle City, Alaska. The last town before the Yukon Flats gives way to frigid desolation. When Zoe O'Brien, a secluded widow, kills a crazed mother wolf and saves the only cub from sure death, she ignites a war between the Wolfen Clan and the Kontar Clan. The wolf people have been enemies of the dog people for centuries and the cub she takes in is heir to the Wolfen throne. Taken prisoner by the Wolfen for murder and kidnapping, Zoe is forced to see and do things with creatures she never knew existed, held against her will in a world she both desires and fears. Axl Wolfdorn is coming of age, ready for his Unleashing and on the hunt for his Moonswan, the female he will choose for the Chase and the royal Feral Consummation. But how can he consider bonding with a mate when the only scent deep within his nose is the tangy scent of the woman who saved his life, the very woman who forced his clan into war, the woman he must now kill to avenge his mother's death?

Review:
Circle City by Alisha Paige is a paranormal novel that constructs a story made up of deep passion, brutality, and hunger for acceptance. The story and terminology are intricate and intriguing with an edge of darkness laced into the plot. This reader was lead down a path into a world unlike any shifter book I have read in the past.

The story hits a brutal pace from the beginning. The hero and heroine of this novel are Axl and Zoe. Zoe saves a wolf pup (Axl) from certain death by destroying a she-wolf that is obsessed with killing all of her young. Because Zoe has saved the only living heir to inherit the title “Lord of the Wolfen”, she has unwittingly gotten herself caught up in a world she had no clue existed. She is taken prisoner by Wolfen where her ultimate punishment will be dispensed by Axl. To save Zoe, Axl has to think fast to save her life. In order for him to do so, he enmeshes Zoe deeper into the Wolfen world. She takes like a trooper at first. Then, as the story progresses, she begins to question the state of her life.

Alisha Paige pushes the limit on a reader’s comfort level when it comes to the darker side of paranormal romance. She definitely edges into very sinister territory when it comes to sex, drugs, and violence. Those of you who like your stories with some morbidity thrown in, you will enjoy this story immensely. Those of you who like a “fluffier” tale would do well to avoid this story. However, I enjoyed having my limits, as a reader of the paranormal, being stretched to encompass a more foreboding story.

A man from another time...

Faelan is from an ancient clan of Scottish Highland warriors, charged with shielding humanity from demonic forces. Betrayed and locked in a time vault, he has been sleeping for nearly two centuries when spunky historian Bree Kirkland inadvertently wakes him. She's more fearsome than the demon trying to kill him, and if he's not careful, she'll uncover the secrets his clan has bled and died to protect.

Could be the treasure she's been seeking all her life...

When Bree inherits an old treasure map, she discovers a warrior buried in her backyard. But the warrior isn't dead. Bree shocks Faelan with her modern dress and her boldness, and he infuriates Bree every time he tries to protect her.

With demons suddenly on the move, Bree discovers that Faelan's duty as protector is in his blood, and that her part in this fight was destined before she was born. But nothing is ever what it seems.

Review:
Oh where do I begin? I can absolutely NOT pass up the chance to read a Highland book. There is something about these large, sweet, tough, and somewhat naïve men that I just can not get enough of! This book was no exception.

Bree is my hero! She is exactly what I love to see in a book. Strong, capable, modern, and independent. Definitely not your average damsel in distress. When she begins digging in her backyard, she thinks she has hit the jackpot in the form of a long, lost treasure…boy did she ever! Who would have thunk that there would have been a Highland Warrior buried in her yard? I would have dug him up sooner.

Faelan is hell-bent on catching the demon that captured him 150 years ago, but also realizes that the woman that saved him from his crypt is the one. He needs her but she is not from his time and he really has no idea what to do with her, especially since she is not the “follow whatever the man says” kind of girl. So…road trip!! Off they go to slay the demon. I love it!!

I loved every second I spent reading this book and was actually sad to see it end. It had all that you could ever want…great characters, hot male roles, Scottish accents, action, adventure, and enough attraction to make you need a cool shower. There is nothing sexier than a Scottish clan trying to kill the evil…except one that will lay his life down for the fiery love of his life. Sigh.

Debut novels are always hard but Anita blew this one out of the water!! I can not wait until the next in the series comes out. I want to find out more about this world and the clan involved in it. This is definitely a series to watch out for.

New Orleans, 1834. Lark La Beau is a green-eyed beauty and respected beneficent voodoo priestess with the sometimes uncooperative gift of clairvoyance. Captain Valcour Curry is a debonair, larger-than-life buccaneer with ambition to burn and a taste for fine things. Following a whirlwind romance with Lark, he disappears at sea, leaving Lark with a riverboat and a child to rear-alone.

A guilty act of piracy causes Valcour to fall victim to a shapeshifting magician who practices the dark art of soul-swapping. For five years Valcour has been enslaved as an emotionless zombie with no memory of his loved ones or past. From dusk to dawn he is cursed to toil in the cane fields while the evil magician uses his soul to lure women and have his brutal way with them.

Lark will risk hell and journey to the oppressive Broken Oak Plantation to break the curse. It's a terrifying place. Her only tools to call Valcour's lost soul back to life are voodoo and the sensual power of love.

Review:
I have never read a book as uniquely different from the romance book formula as Sugar Roux Voodoo by Katalina Leon. Set in New Orleans in 1834, this historical novel takes us on the journey of Lark LaBeau as she faces black magic in order to release her beloved Valcour from its evil claws. Lark definitely is a strong woman who defies what the norms that society has set for her from her very first moments in the busy seaport city. She is wildly erotic, yet earthly sensuous, dark, and mysterious. This enchanting novel is told through visions, dreams, and memories as the practicing voodoo priestess refuses to take no for an answer, especially where her lover is concerned. Ms. Leon tastefully interwove powerful sex scenes through a secondary character that causes not only our witch’s blood to boil, but also the reader’s. Sugar Roux Voodoo is an erotic tale that will have you eagerly awaiting each page.

Tambra Ellis has just had her world turned upside down. Surviving a bite from a Lycan, attracted to one hot vampire and now she has to look forward to turning into something from some bad werewolf movie.

Marcus Valerian has enough on his plate without the added complication of Tambra Ellis. Fiery and independent? Sure. Beautiful with a body made for sin? Oh Yeah. She's also a human cop. Tambra is everything he needs to stay away from.

As leader of the Tribunal’s enforcers it’s up to him to find out why the Dark Breeds are going feral and killing humans in ever increasing numbers. Tambra’s life is in the balance as the secrets of her past place her in the middle of a battle that will change the world forever.

Will Marcus and Tambra’s love survive or will it too late?

Review:
Tambra is a human cop who accidentally stumbled upon the world of the Breeds. Vampires and werewolves were creepy bedtime stories for her until one fateful night she hunts down the wrong kind of criminal. In a dark alley, trying to save an innocent from being mauled to death by something right out of a horror movie, she gets bitten by a feral Lycan and finds herself against the clock for survival and mixed in a world that is way above her pay grade.

On the hunt to keep the peace between the Breeds, Marcus is the leader of the Tribunal’s Enforcers. Searching for the same Lycan who just gave Tambra a run for her money, he discovers her miraculously still semi-conscious but well worked over. Intrigued by her will of survival, he decides to take her under his wing to help her with her Rising…the transformation from human to Lycan…should she survive it.

Dark Passion Rising is a complex world with a lot going on in it. Somehow, though, it works. It had everything that you need. Fast paced, conflict, action, and some surprising turn of events make it a great afternoon read. It’s loaded with sexual tension and some great lip-bitingly steamy sex scenes. What more could you ask for?

The only thing that didn’t impress me is that, although the story does keep you guessing a little, it is surprisingly predictable. There were definitely a few points where the story lacked that shock value I love so much. That being said, there were also some parts that made me go “H’uh?”. I guess it kind evens itself out.

If you are a fan of action, “don’t mess with me” chicks, hot vampy men, and steamy sexiness, I totally recommend this book. It’s a quick read...but well worth it!
