My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
This amazing story continues! Jesse and Ava are explosive together. Their passion, love and need for each other is completely out of control. Will they make it work or tear each other apart? Jodi Ellen Malpas has written an awesome trilogy. I am eagerly waiting for book #3. Please let it be happy ever after, well after some serious drama.
Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the ARC.

Convicted (Consequences #3) by Aleatha Romig
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
Perfectly twisted, I don't think there is a better way to describe the Consequences' series. Romig did not disappoint with the dark and devious story. What I found in this book shocked me more than the first two. I never expected Claire and Tony's life to take a turn like they did in the final book. I found myself thinking "No this cannot me happening to them. They have to have some form of happy in their lives. What about true love and happy ever after?" Well, you will just have to read the book to see but let me say the only problem with the book is it being the end to the series. The characters and story are amazing and easily on of the darkest stories I have ever read, but also the best!

Infinity Unleashed (Valkyries: Soaring Raven #2) by Sedona Venez
Book 2 is just as captivating. We are given insight to many of the details that have destined Infinity and Boulder to be together. Even though she is being held captive by Mason and his crazy pride. She finds herself struggling with what is really happening, what she is imagining, and what is destiny unfolding. Factor in the influence of the Immortals and Balancers and you find Infinity fighting for her own sanity and control of her future. She learns the history that has led to everyone wanting to own her because of the power she posses as both salvation and destruction. What is Infinity willing to sacrifice in order to fulfill the prophecy? Can she survive long enough for Boulder to get to her or will Mason or Alik claim her first? How much can she take before it is easier to let the darkness take over?
The story and the characters keep getting better and better. My problem is Sedona Venez is the queen of cliffhangers which may do me in before book three, comes out in August.

Forever Innocent by Deanna Roy
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
WOW! That was an emotional story. If you are looking for a book that has a happy ever after story this may not be your one. I'm not saying Corabelle and Gavin are not going to get their forever but book did not wrap them up in a big bow. This story is real life and not the pretty version. My heart broke for both Gavin and Corabelle. I wanted to shake them at times and when they were telling their story I just knew they would tell of something stupid they did. I hope they both begin to heal and find joy in the next book. I am cheering for their happy ever after.

At Any Price by Brenna Aubrey
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
This book was amazing. The story was very thorough but not drawn out. It was obvious Mia and Adam were falling in love throughout the entire story, but their stubbornness keeps you wondering if they will give into the passion. I was shocked at the end to find out this was part of a series. There wasn't a big cliffhanger but I was left wanting more.

Jagged (Colorado Mountain #5) by Kristen Ashley
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
It took me a while to get into this book. It wasn't my favorite in the Colorado Mountain series. Once Zara and Ham started accepting the fact they were meant to be together things got more interesting. Bring in drama of Zara's horrible family and now we are getting to a great climax (and not just the ones between Zara and Ham). I am still a very loyal Kristen Ashely fan and cannot wait until the next book in series.

Three Broken Promises by Monica Murphy
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
This is my first Monica Murphy book. I didn't even know it was a spin off until after I read it. I really liked Colin and Jen's story. Now don't get me wrong, their stubbornness to accept their feelings for each other had me screaming, but they had serious passion and heat. I now have to go back to read Drew and Fable's stories because all the reviews I read tell how awesome they are too.

Darkness Awakened (Darkness #1) by Katie Reus
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
This is a great mix of werewolves and vampires. I always root for the long lost lovers but want to scream at them at the same time for not making their relationship safe. This story did exactly that to me. I found myself hopping Lyra would make Finn suffer for a long time before she let him back in. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

No Strings Attached by Suzan Butler
My Rating 3 out of 5 Stars
I wasn't convinced an alpha like Ethan would have allowed his family to control him like his parents did. Ashlynn obsession with true love wasn't convincing either. They put to much into their friendship/relationship to allow such character flaws. I needed more passion or fight for each other. This kept the story from being a great read.

Playing the Playboy by Noelle Adams
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
Another hot, cocky Damon. Andrew is the playboy brother of Harrison in the Heirs of Damon series. He has just begun to take on more responsibility in the family business. Heading to Greece to take control of a family property is his chance to prove he can be part of the business. Laurel is trying to save the small inn she was given as a wedding present. At first she decides to seduce Andrew but when she starts to fall for him everything changes. Before she can come clean with her original plans Andrew finds out and being the untrusting Damon he is turns his back on her. Both are to hard headed to realize what they shared was real. I enjoy this series and can't wait for the next book.

Seducing the Enemy by Noelle Adams
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
Pride can get in the way and make you stupid. This is exactly what happened with Harrison Damon. Caught up in family battle that was never his but dedication to his family makes it personal. This is where his suspicion and bitterness comes into play. Marietta has lost her youth to an accident that caused this family battle. She wants it to be done with so she can start living. The night she starts her life is amazing, hot and unforgettable. Especially when she walks into a meeting the next day to see the man she gave her virginity to, Damon, the enemy. They still desire each other but there is no trust at all. Can a relationship even begin when there is lust by no trust? This is a great story with hot sex and the need to slap the characters. I can't wait to read the next book in series.

This story was short but hot. I didn't quite get Grant's anger towards his family for the reasons he had. It was a little to much. I did enjoy Jenna's plan of seduction and I have to say she did it well. There wasn't much work on her part though because Grant wanted and took her many times he did.

Beg by C.D. Reiss
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
Monica and Jonathen are going to be hot together, but I am sure Monica is going to get hurt. Jonathen wants what wants and I believe he will get it. The problem is I don't think he has let go of his past. I look forward to this series. These two have already had some very hot sex scenes and he hasn't even gotten her to submit yet. I'm not a big fan of short stories but this one seems to be worth the commitment.

The Switched Baby Scandal by Theresa Meyers
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
This is an unimaginable real life story. My heart broke for Reece the most. He had endured so much pain already. Finding out the truth really was a second chance at happiness rather than a spending the rest of his life grieving his lost wife and child. His second chance brings the greatest fear of Taylor's life, losing her daughter Emily. In addition to this Taylor finds out the child she gave birth to is already gone. Reece and Taylor need to combine their joy and fear together and attempt to find happiness. Luckily Emily is a happy child with lots of love for both of them.

This is an easy read, maybe a little to easy. It is a sweet romance that allows everything to fall into place. Hailey wanted to escape her super famous, rich life and just be a college student. She avoids everyone for fear she will be used because of who she is. Then she meets this really cute and great guy that just wants her and not who she is. The rest is a romantic tale, literally. Even her secrets weren't enough to bring out the romantic drama.

Deeper by Blue Ashcroft
My Rating is 4 out of 5 Stars
Some of the best relationships are the love/hate. The friction draws them closer and builds an understanding others can't feel. Rain and Knight are suppose to share supervising positions but they are also frustrated with each other and the attraction they have for each other. The secrets they have keep them from each other and it also causes the story to deliver to much. The romance and rape stories didn't fit together or flow with the story. I felt like the watermark scenes were trying to hard. This in addition to Rain's refusal to love again because of the guilt over a boyfriend that was never her actual boyfriend is again to much.

Isn't She Lovely by Lauren Layne
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
This book was very fun. Ethan and Stephanie are from two different worlds. Agreeing to pretend that they are boyfriend/girlfriend is opening their eyes to feelings they didn't expect. When it is just the two of them everything is right, but soon they realize that what they feel for each won't be enough to make them fit in each other's lives. I loved the exploration of feelings, lives and selves. Great read and fun story!

The problem is he is fighting his desire for her and his rule of never caring for another girl, especially since he hasn't let go of the last.

I love me some cowboys and can't wait for Tucker's story in next book in the series. He is playful and fun to Cole's serious and hard. Both are yummy.

Unattainable (Undeniable: Book Three) by Madeline Sheehan
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
All I can say is this book was out of this world, freaking amazing!!! If you haven't read the series then what are you waiting for? There is no other motorcycle club series like Undeniable. Well I guess there was one thing this book lacked. I would have loved for Tegen to have gotten a hold of one of the club whores and took out all of her pent up anger. Yep she is crazy enough to put a serious beat down on the women as much as she did Cage. I loved their story and can't wait for more. It was also a sweet squeeze in story of Dirty and Ellie.

Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
My heart breaks for Dean Holder. No-one should know lose and devastation at his age. He is finally able to start letting go of the past when he meets Sky and accepts her for who she is. She is the one person that lets him start feeling love again. He has spent the last half of his life looking for his best friend that he loved as a child. He thinks he found her only to realize it isn't her. Now he has fallen in love with Sky only to find out things are not what they seem. It is a good thing they have each other and true love because the heartache they are going through would kill any one person.

Nearly Mended Cover Reveal
I'm in COVER LOVE right now! I've once again got Megan and Nick on the cover, but this time you get the chance to stare into those stunning eyes that just scream Don't f*ck with me. However, that is not Nick on the back. That is the unconscionable Zander Malone, who thanks to the authorities, has his blond locks rockin' a darker hairdo to help stay off the radar a bit. Of course he'll be making an appearance in Nearly Mended, but for how long and whether or not he'll obtain any pleasure while there, I won't say! But he has definitely got some wicked things planned this time around.
Oh...and did I mention it's dual point-of-view this time? Both Megan and Nick will be gracing us with their thoughts and opinions in Nearly Mended. I've dabbled with the idea of getting into Zander's sick head a time or two, but in all honesty, I'm still against it, forcing us as readers to learn only what he wants us to know.
To view full size image of cover, click here.
Expected Publication: Winter 2013 (hopefully December)
He’ll pay for what he’s done to her…for what he’s done to me.
Megan Whitaker desperately wants to forget what’s happened over the past two years – the haunting images and sensations still plaguing her thoughts and dreams – but she can’t. Because he’s still out there. Zander Malone. I’ll find you and bring you back to me. She wants to believe she’s safe with Nick in their secluded new home, but it doesn’t keep her from looking over her shoulder, jumping over unexpected sounds, carrying a concealed weapon or even preparing for the worst. He’s coming for her, but this time, she won’t let him get the jump on her, nor will she go quietly into the night.
Nickolas Ellis has seen a change in his long, lost love. Battered emotionally and physically, Megan has turned her fear into anger, spending her days at self-defense classes and researching things that’ll never allow her to let go of the past. And he feels guilty even asking her to, because he knows that heathen will return, it’s only a matter of time. And when he does, Nick will do anything to protect her, even the unthinkable, risking everything he’s fought so hard to get back.

Breaking the Storm by Sedona Venez
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
I received an ARC of this book from the author for an honest review and I can honestly tell you it is awesome! Sedona Venez writes amazingly hot paranormal books. I love both the story and the characters. Knox is a sexy/dominant male. No matter how much Stormy tries to deny her feelings and desire for Knox there is an unstoppable force drawing them together. It isn't going to be smooth though. Knox wants Stormy and he intends to have her in every sense, all of her. I love how he pushers and consumes her. They are setting off serious sparks. I hope he continues to push Storm's limits and test her desire for pain in the next book.
I cannot wait for Light's story. It is going to be fun to see Ryker or Bones breakthrough her barriers.

Paradise Hops by Liz Crowe
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
This story takes you up and brings you down. I laughed and I cried; I found happiness with Lori and unimaginable sadness; one moment I was proud of her and the next I wanted to slap her; but you never gave up hope. Liz Crowe writes an emptional story that brings out every emotion possible. Lori's love for both Garrett and Eli was not what I expected, but it was a great journey.

Play Me by Diane Alberts
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
A story of love, hope, faith and trust. Kiersten gave up on a happily ever after the minute she caught her fiancé with his secretary. Garrett has been in love with her since high school and thought he was content just hanging out with her. Desire and lust come easy for both of them, but only one of them is willing to take a chance on forever. I found myself frustrated with both Kiersten and Garrett at times. They could not get their feelings on the same page. Even their family could see what neither of could. This is a great romantic read.

Real by Katy Evans
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
This was a very intense and emotional read. Remy and Brooke both have serious issues. I mean WOW, what an emotional roller coaster. They were emotionally connected before they even got to the physical part. This is a story of two people who are a mess and broken, yet they complete each other. Together they are stronger and even with all of their personal baggage they are able to heal each other. Remy and Brooke's story is hot and full of action, especially the sexual kind.

Mafia Captive by Kitty Thomas
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
Kitty Thomas never fails to deliver on her dark erotica. She has given us another captive read. It is not her darkest but still a great read. Faith witnessed a murder by the mob. Instead of killing her Angelo decides she will be a slave for his brother. So here I am loving non-consensual and the mafia. Leo is a surgeon and not active in the family business but he will protect them no matter what. He also knows that Faith is dead if she doesn't agree to stay with him. The problem is she is scared to death because she isn't submissive and he isa sadist. The psychological manipulation brings the story full circle.

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
Tristan is a dog, dog, dog! Why couldn't he be an alpha male that wasn't a vengeful idiot? I want them to be happy ever after but I really think Danika should make him suffer for his actions. I still love the characters and story. I can't wait for the next book.

Gone with the Wolf by Kristin Miller
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
This book contained some new werewolf vocabulary I was not familiar with. I always enjoy the love story of the hard to control female and the alpha male determined to have her. This book did not fail. Drake Wilder is a twin sharing control a billion dollar company and the pack with his brother. The first to mate gets the pack while the other takes control of the company. This is quickly decided when Drake meets Emmie at his office. She has no idea who he is or that he intends for her to be his mate. She just wants to save her bar and decides that getting a job at Wilder Financial will help with that. Now Emmie has to deal with her insane attraction to Drake, all the paranormal that she knew nothing about, and the fact she is to mate with the alpha wolf who has a twin brother that is after her also. This story has suspense, alpha werewolves, romance and hot sex. What's not to love?

Bitten By Deceit by Shawntelle Madison
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
For a short story this book wasn't bad.� I just really enjoy longer books that go into more details to add to the story line.� Emma is an alpha werewolf and in trouble.� She�is running from her pack leader and searching for the man/wolf she loves who left the pack years ago.� Kyle left the pack after fighting with Liam for pack leader.� Emma wouldn't go with him because of her younger sister.� Now Liam has lost his mind and is turning the pack into rogues.� He has bitten Emma and she can feel herself changing, but she is giving up without a fight.� She just needs Kyle to help her save the pack from whatever Liam is doing.� There is hurt, selfiousness, and a side of witchcraft in this very short story.� I just needed more to my story.

Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
Wow, I mean WOW!� Now that is how to give both sides to a story.� I did not reread Beautiful Disaster before I read Walking Disaster but this story was so great that I didn't need to.� I didn't realize how much Travis loved Abby from her point of view.� Hearing about his past made it easier to understand why he was consumed with his feelings for her.� It may have been unhealthy at times but Travis was truly in love with Abby and he never doubted she was his one.� Now don't get me wrong, there were times I found him to be a complete jerk and wanted Abby to smack him in the head.� The problem was that he really didn't know how to love in a complete and healthy way.�
I strongly recommend this book!� However, it should not be read before BD.� I would like more, maybe perhaps a story for Travis's brothers?�

Own the Wind: A Chaos Novel
My Rating 4 our of 5 Stars
I love Kristen Ashley books. �I also love me some motorcycle men!! �This is another hit for Ashley. �I have to go back and read the Dream Man series.�
Tabby and Shy drove me a little crazy.� They were obviously hung up on each other but didn't know how to let the other know.� Games were played, assumptions made,� bad things said and hearts broken.� They lost many years because of this.� I'm thinking, "Hey big, bad biker guy!� You want the girl then screw the consequences and TAKE her."� This is where I was unable to give the fifth star.� I needed a little more rough and rowdy.� I like my motorcycle clubs more hard core.�
When they did return to each other they were amazing together.� Finally they realized how made for each other they were.� What started as friendship grew into forever.� Together they are hot, hot and yum.� Tabby doesn't take crap off Shy and he won't allow anyone to give her any.� Once he stopped fighting and she loved him back he found what was most important to him.� Yes, even more than his club.�
I can't wait for the next book in sereis.� Thank you publishers and NetGalley for allowing me to read.
Dare to You by Katie McGarry
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
Beth was hardcore in Pushing the Limits and now we know why.� This girl has lived a life of tragedy and betrayal.�� Her anger is the only thing keeping her from completely loosing her mind.� Beth has been taking care of her mother for several years.� Now she does it from her aunt's house because her drugged out mom can't get rid of the loser boyfriend that beats on them both.� At least she has her best friend Isaiah and Noah, who is�like a�brother.� This is her family and what keeps her sane.� That is until one�phone call�to go help her mom changes everything in Beth's world.�Now she is being forced to live with her Uncle Scott who abondaned her when she was little.� He is also forbidding her to have any contact with her previous life.
Ryan is the�All-American Boy�Next Door with a dream to play major league baseball.� Well that is�what everyone�thinks when they look at him and his "perfect" life.� However, Ryan has secrets too.� He also has his best friends to keep him going but his family is tearing him up.� �Ryan and his�friends have a tendency to get carried away in their dares.��And this is what leads him to Beth.�
Ryan and Beth began on a dare.� They have this undeniable pull to each other which begins to fill the emptiness.�� Beth doesn't trust Ryan.� She is aware of the dare and has been burned by a jock before.� Everyone she has ever trusted has let her down, her mother, father, Uncle Scott, and Isaiah.� The strange thing is the safe feeling she has when she is around Ryan.� This is a feeling she only has ever felt with Isaiah.� But the problem is she doesn't plan on staying in this town.� She has to rescue her mother from herself and the abusive boyfriend.�
I love this book and the series.� The characters are real-life struggles.� McGarry described it perfect when Ryan was trying to deal with the life Beth was living.� He was seeing all the horrible things he heard or read about just by driving down a street and going to a party with her friends.� This isn't a story that is built on romance.� It is a story about living a hard life and praying that someone will finally love you back.� I cannot wait for Isaiah's story.�

I would love stuck in Montana and taken in by the Kooskia tribe.� Jake is that alpha male that has complete control of his family, both close and extended, his job and a leading role in the community.� He is a ruthless lawyer when he needs to be and in order to protect his�town he holds nothing back.�
In comes Sophie Smith.� She is a landscape architect who has designed a high-end golf course for this small town in Montana.� She is here to check out the land and pitch her design to the community.� The problem is this city girl is way out of her element.� She is having a very difficult time resisting Jake who has decided he wants Sophie for as long as she is in town.�
What was suppose to be some sexy and temporary loving is slowly building to more than the two expected.� Sophie is beginning to like life in Montana with Jake and his family.� He didn't even realize something was missing from his life until Sophie showed up, but now he has to convince her that they could have an amazing life together.� Soon they realize it doesn't matter where they are as long as they have each other.�
This story is sexy and hot, hot, hot.� I was even pulled into the supporting characters.� I hope the series will continue onto Jakes brothers and sister.� There seems to be a lot of hot males in the tribe.�

A Risk Worth Taking by Victoria James
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
This is a tear-jerker. Who says you can never come home again? Holly only planned to return to Red River with her sister to renovate their family's home. As an interior designer they could finally make their dreams come true and renovate the house for her sister to live in with her own family. Then tragedy strikes and she is the guardian of her niece Ella. Now she is returning home to renovate and sell her home. The problem is Quinn, the man she fell in love with when she was in high school. Quinn let her go once and doesn't plan on doing it again. He has his work cut out for him though because she has no intention of getting close to anyone ever again.
Holly has endured more heartache than any person ever should. No-one can blame her for wanting to protect herself from more loss. I spent a large part of the book wondering when she was going to realize her heart already belonged to Ella. Now she has to figure out that Quinn isn't a risk but someone to help her hold it all together.

When they made a deal to help each other out all self control was gone. Raina and Nick fell in love on that one night stand months ago. Since then they have denied and fought their feelings.

The problem is once they are thrown together Raina cannot deny how much she desires him.
Some people just don't realize how good they have it until it is gone. Raina just can't let herself be happy. Her feelings are all over the place and poor Nick is being pulled along.

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
Another smash hit by Colleen Hoover. No-one writes heartache like Colleen. Sky has been sheltered all her life. Finally, her senior year she is going to public school. When she meets Dean Holder she can tell he is a bad boy. The problem is she is drawn to him.
Holder cannot stay away from Sky. There is something familiar about her and he must find out why. Their story is of love and heartache. This story is amazing! I didn't stop reading until I finished the entire book.

Wild Child by Shelly Munro
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
Wow, this book makes you feel hot and dirty! My opinion is, if they aren't a blood relative then all is fair. Zoe and Matt are not related, well only by marriage. Her father married his mother and she has wanted him every since. She is tired of waiting. Matt was having so much trouble resisting his attraction to Zoe that he moved to Australia. This was working until he came home to find her in his bed. His resistance didn't last another week. They not only give into their lust but their hearts. You never know where you will find love, even in the family. A yummy, short read.

His Reluctant Rancher by Roxanne Snopek
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
This is a good heartfelt romance. I haven't read book 1 and still got they story. I found myself cheering Des and Zach on throughout the book. There were times I wanted her to smack him for being hard headed. He made it difficult for her to love him. Even with the stress and his bad moods Des found herself feeling more at home on the big ranch. She realized she was fighting to save it as much as the family who owned it.

A Bad Boy is Good to Find by Jennifer Lewis
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
If a relationship could work with just lust then Lizzie and Conroy would be great; however, the issue of trust has ruined any chance they had. Lizzie has lived a life of luxury and never put much thought to it. She really just wanted a relationship with her parents or someone she could bond with. She has never felt great about herself but Conroy makes her feel amazing on the inside and out. She realizes she wants this forever, that is until she looses it all.
The money is gone and Lizzie finds out that is a problem for her relationship. Conroy is unable to love but if he could feel that deeply for someone it would be Lizzie. That is why it kills him to find out how much his deception has hurt her. He has to make her realize how amazing she is and that he wants to spend the rest of her life making her feel. As a matter of fact he loves who she feels all over.
Lizzie has been burned by her family and the man she loves and now it is time for revenge. The only thing she is looking out for now is herself and she is determined to make Conroy feel some of her pain. The problem with this plan is how much she still wants him. The more they are together the harder it is to fight her feelings for him.
This story is hot and dirty. It gets even hotter down in the Louisiana swamps.

Beyond Control by Kit Rocha
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
I love this series! If this is the life of dystopia then yum and I'm moving in. The story of Alex and the King of Sector 4 isn't your happy ever after. However, their story is still amazing and hot. Lex and Dallas are crazy for each other and they make each other crazy. Dallas has to be in control. Any signs of weakness will put him and all of the people he must protect in danger. The problem is he has a weakness and she is named Alexa and she is under no-ones control. That is until she gives into her greatest desire, belonging to Dallas. Can she trust him enough to give him all the control? Can he put her needs before his own need for power?
This book was just as amazing as the first. Waiting for the next is going to drive me crazy.

Tamed by Douglas R. Brown
My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars
This was a different type of read for me. I love a good werewolf read and found the story of a were-pet interesting. The suspense picked around a quarter of the way into the story. It took me awhile to get into the book. I would start it and then go to another book. Eventually I stuck with it and really liked the story once the action started. I think the beginning needed more story of the characters without jumping around so much. I recommend giving the book a chance if you want a good paranormal read with lots of suspense.

Edge of Dawn by Lara Adrian
My Rating is 5 out of 5 Stars
Another great hit! Mira is all grown up and it took me a little while to get myself up with this. Even though the characters in this book were part of the Order before it was weird not having the originals be a large part of the storyline. Mira has loved Kellan since they were children. When a he was killed in an explosion she became angry, bitter, and hell-bent on revenge. Her wild behavior has forced Lucan, head of the Order, to pull her out of the field. She is assigned to protective duty of a scientist traveling to the GNC Summit.
When a group of rebels kidnap her target everything turns out to be a lie. Kellan is to only alive but the leader of the rebel group and the ultimate traitor. He has been alive all this time and chose not to come back Mira after he healed from the explosion. He saw his future in Mira's eyes and thought he was protecting her by staying away.
It turns out that Kellan is fighting on the same side as the Order. The mission is to protect the Breed from a weapon that will kill them with ultraviolet light. This invention is in the hands of a group of humans that are secretly planning to use it at the Summit. The problem is the vampires and the scientist that made the weapon possible have no idea.
Kellan and Mira are still hopelessly in love with each other. Using her gift Mira seeks the truth of their future and looses her eye sight. Then she looses Kellan again but hopefully not for long. I loved the book and this series. I can't wait for next one.

The Baby Bargain by Jennifer Apodaca
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
I am a sucker for long lost loves and this books delivers. Megan and Adam haven't seen each other in years. They haven't dates since college but they find comfort in each other when Adam was in town after his parents death. That was three years ago and Adam has no idea what that night produced because he was up and back out of town as fast as possible. He told Megan he was never coming back either. His life has been miserable since the death of his brother. There was no peace even when he tried to be a better man by joining the Marines. He has no faith in himself or his ability to be the man that Megan needs.

Megan has always wanted Adam but things are different now. It isn't just about her any more, she has a 3 year old son to protect. A son that Adam doesn't know he fathered. She is torn from keeping Adam away, wanting him so much and telling him about his son.
Now she needs him to protect them too. Someone is setting her up for stealing a dog she has taken treated. They want to ruin her business and her. This forces Megan to tell Adam immediately and he isn't happy with her or the fact he is being forced into this family. However, he soon realizes the family he grew up with wasn't a real family like the one he now has. There is no way he would let those things happen to the family he loves.
I highly recommend this book. It is romantic, tear-breaking and suspenseful. Jennifer Apodaca did a great job.

Tara just wants to be normal. She has spent her entire life sheltered by her aunt. After her aunt's recent death Tara decided it was time to start living her life.

She has moved out of the home she as been in since her birth and started college in London. The first rule she has been required to live by is not to question who she is.
Breaking all the rules has led her to Christian Roth, private investigator.
Christian is a vampire that used to lead the Order and is now a businessman and private investigator. He is instantly drawn to Tara. He wants her and will have her but she isn't going to put up much of a struggle. Since she has decided to start breaking all the rules she has been required to live by then she is going to give herself to Christian and fall in love.
There is a problem with Tara's normal life plan, she isn't normal. She was kept hidden because of who she is. She was not only hidden in a house but also by magic. Breaking the rules has affected this magic and now she is being hunted. Tara is half demon and half fae. Both want her dead because of who she is and who she loves. With all of her secrets revealed she has to decide if she wants the life she has now or a normal life without what has come to mean the most to her.
This was a great paranormal romance. The romance was hot and detailed. What isn't to love when you have a sexy vampire and a virgin. I liked the story for the other characters as well and hope to read about them in the next book.

Double Coverage by Mercey Celeste
My Rating 3 out of 5 Stars
I loved the way this book started out but then it jumped into double drive. Going from long lost crushes between Kailey and Trigger was completely believable. Then Bullet enters, having never had any type of friendship with Kailey and they are all completely in love within two days. That was too much. The story needed a couple more chapters/weeks in the story to get to the forever between the trio. I was easily convinced of the feelings between Bullet and Trigger as well but again Bullet and Kailey happened to fast. Now the bedroom scenes were very hot and detailed. I even enjoyed the life together forever relationship as a menage but wasn't sold on it happening in two days.

Beyond Shame by Kit Rocha
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
This book was very hot and dirty and I loved it. I find that dark twist of life books pull me in. Noelle has been thrown out of Eden. Now she must survive in the slums. She has spent her entire life controlled and made to feel shameful. This is a dystopian world and her curiosity for alcohol and sex has gotten thrown out of the city for the privileged. She ends up in Sector Four, taken in by the O'Kane gang. She is in complete lust for Jasper, the gang leader's second in charge. Lex is Dallas' woman and the woman in charge who has decided the she also wants Noelle to be her baby girl.
Life here encourages sex and exploration, the exact things she was made to feel shameful for in Eden. Now Noelle has to if she is truly into submission, bondage and group sex or is she just desiring these behaviors because they are shameful. In Sector Four the women have the power to say no and trust goes both ways. As soon as things get rough though Jasper bails thinking Noelle would be safer back in Eden. This breaks her heart and trust. She wanted nothing more than to be collared by him and wear his ink around her neck. Now she has to learn how to live on her own, even if she continues to long for Jasper.
This book was great and the characters are rough and bad. I can't wait to read Lex's story because she is in complete control and her and Dallas may kill each other before they find a middle in their relationship.

The Bane by Kearly Taylor
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
This book made me crave my movie and television time. I found myself wrapped up in the story and suspense from the beginning. Picture "I am Legend meets Resident Evil" Eve remembers nothing before she arrived at Eden 5 years earlier. She is aware that she is different from everyone else in the colony but as long as she keeps them safe nothing else matters. Only 2 percent of the world's population survive the Evolution. The survivors banned together in the countryside, away from cities and electricity where the Bane flocked. TorBane was a technology that infused human DNA with cybernetic molecules. It had the ability to generate new limbs and organs, improve and save millions of lives. Within 3 months it morphed into something stinger and deadly. The technology was dubbed as "the infection" and could be spread by just touch. The cybernetics saturated every part of your body once you were infected making a soulless, human-looking machine, The Bane. Their goal: infect all.
At only 18 Eve as known nothing but surviving this world. The only emotion she feels is the need to keep the colony safe. That is until West shows up. She feels something is wrong with her and it is distracting her from her job. It takes her a while to realize it is her feelings for West and the one who has always been there for her, Avian. This love triangle is forcing Eve to open her eyes to what being human is all about, love.
The love story and romance fit right into this story. The decisions begin made and the fight for survival are all made worth it by the emotions of all the characters. I never lost faith or respect for Eve because you find yourself cheering her on as she learns how to handle her emotions. I have to admit I had no idea which guy to cheer for because I found myself as confused as Eve did. Both guys obviously love her and would die for her so how do you pick? We have to wait to the very end for her choice. It takes the unknown knowledge of which is infected for Eve to realize which she cannot live without. Even with the decision made I still want more. There are a few cliffhangers letting us know that more is coming. I can't wait! I'm unable to give specifics without giving spoilers so you will have to read it yourself.

Fools for Love by Harper Bliss
My Rating 4 our of 5 Stars
This is the first High Rise story, but it introduces 4 characters. The main focus is on Maddie and Alex. Both girls have had their hearts broken and are trying to get on with their lives. The other two characters, Nat and Isabella will have their story in the second novella.
Alex fights her attraction to Maddie from the fear of history repeating itself. For that reason she tries shutting Maddie out completely. This proves difficult because the 4 friends plan get togethers to eat and drink. I'm pretty sure a couple of them are trying to set the girls up together or maybe looking for a reason to spend time together themselves.
Maddie has been in a secret relationship that just ended and needs to find someone to connect to. If things don't work out with Alex she is leaving Hong Kong. The couple take things slowly and realize they have found something in each other.
I look forward to reading the next installment in the HIgh Rise series.

Infinity (Valkyries:Soaring Raven) by Sedona Venez
My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars
This is a really great story and book. We get vampires, shape shifters, magic, witches and more! Infinity has been living the wild life of a rock star. She had decided it is time to take control of her life. Gone are the drugs and partying. Infinity is becoming aware that things around her are not adding up. One of her nearest and dearest is trying to control her and take over her life. Her family is dysfunctional but they love her fiercely. Her mother who took her in when she was an orphan keeps telling her trouble is coming. Zoe and Diego are her best friends, choreographers and dancers are closest to her and have noticed people are missing and threats are increasing. Public enemy number one is the Collective Corporation who is trying to stop her upcoming tour, even if that means ending her. Infinity herself can can feel the darkness inside of her and her horrible dreams show her what will happen if she succumbs to the dark side.
Secrets have been kept and these secrets are powerful enough to destroy Infinity and everything she loves. She no-longer knows who to trust or who to depend on. She is being targeted my many and her new personal body guards may not be able to protect her, even if they are her true mates.
I was at the end before even realized and found myself screaming NOOO! I cannot wait for book #2. There are so many cliffhangers that I can't decide which one has me torn the most.
