Review Dead Sexy Dragon by Lolita Lopez

Goodreads Blurb:
The last thing dragon shifter Stig Wyvern needs is his dead friend’s kid sister showing up on his doorstep. He’s just minutes away from entering a mating phase. Sharing his isolated house with the young woman he’s desperately lusted after for quite some time is a recipe for disaster.

But Cora Cardenas has nowhere else to go. She’s in deep trouble with some really nasty people and Stig is the only one who can protect her. That he’s deliciously sexy and makes her tingle with the simplest of smiles is just a bonus.

Cora quickly realizes Stig is hiding something from her. To make matters worse, she’s plagued with breathtakingly naughty dreams starring a shadowed lover who bears a startling resemblance to her host. And just what the hell is going on down in the basement at night?

Stig needs to get Cora out of his house but his inner beast has other ideas. He’s found his mate and she’s not going anywhere...


My Review:
A quick read that introduces us to a new series. Me being a HUGE fan of anything and everything dragon (as many of you already know) I had to read this. I found myself eager to get into its pages and recommend it to be read by any fans of the genre or anyone that wants to meet a Dead Sexy Dragon ;)

Cora finds herself in a bit of a situation with only one thing to do, run! She ends up running straight to her brother’s old friend (Stig) house to ask for help. Scared, embarrassed and alone all she can do is hold her breath with hopes he will not turn her away…


Stig is currently struggling with the mating heat and will continue to do so for many days to come. When Cora comes knocking on his door asking for help, he fears for himself and for her. There are many things unknown to her about him and he’s like to keep it that way…

A good start to a new series that I will keep my eye out for. My only complaints about it are its abrupt ending and its length.

Cover Reveal: "Her Wicked Angel" by Felicity Heaton


Her Wicked Angel (Her Angel Romance Series Book 6)
Felicity Heaton
The King of Demons and the Devil’s right hand man, Asmodeus is a dark angel born of evil and created for destruction. When his master orders him to venture into the mortal world and retrieve a female for him, he seizes the chance to leave Hell for the first time, uncaring of what the Devil has planned for her… until he sets eyes on the most beautiful woman he has ever seen—a female who awakens new feelings within his black heart, unleashing passion so intense that it controls him and desire he cannot resist.

He will not let his wretched master have her. She will belong to him.

Liora is a witch with a bad reputation and an obsession with fighting demons. A mission gone wrong sees her sent to Paris to cool off, but when a dark and deadly warrior with a gaze of golden fire lands in her life, she ends up burning hotter than Hell for the wicked angel. Nothing will stand between her and the immense, forbidding male. Not her cousin. Not Asmodeus’s sworn enemy and twin, Apollyon. And certainly not the Devil.

Cover Reveal "Kiss the Sky" by Krista & Becca Ritchie




Twenty-three-year-old fashion designer, Rose Calloway, has everything figured out. Well, except her boyfriend. Pretentious, gorgeous, smart-as-hell—Connor Cobalt wants to rule the world and that means collecting as many contacts as he can. But for Rose, “people-pleasing” is another word for “fake” and tensions begin to build the longer their relationship lasts.

With the stress of her struggling fashion line, Rose finds a solution in another guy. The only problem—he’s everything she dislikes in men. But he’s her last chance to save the failing company. Now she must use Connor’s “people-pleasing” tactics to impress a guy that rattles her nerves. Rose has confidence in herself, but she also knows her boyfriend thrives on competition. And Connor hates being runner-up. If he doesn’t bottle his pride, the cost could be her future career.

They want it all: wealth, love and success.

But when two ambitious individuals fight to be the best, someone is bound to come in second. After all, only one can kiss the sky.

Standalone New Adult Romance: recommended for readers 18+ for mature content.

Goodreads Blurb:
The last person Olivia Hollingsworth expected to see at her Greenwich Village vampire club was her one true love, Doug Paxton—whom she believed to be dead for centuries. Olivia thought she had moved on, but when Doug reappears, her heart knows she'd rather die than lose him again.

Ever since Doug can remember, a red-haired siren has haunted his dreams. He never thought she could be real until he goes to investigate a murder at Olivia's night club. However, as the bodies keep piling up at her feet, he must fight to prove her innocence—even if it costs him his life...
My Review:
 I believe that Sara Humphreys is working her way up to one of my favorite authors. I love a good vampire story and I think that she really put a whole new spin on the vampire world. 

Olivia is a nightclub owner that used to work as a sentry and a farm girl before that. She losses the love of her life Doug. 300 years later Doug walks into her nightclub to ask questions about a murder case. So, now they have to work together to find the killer. Mix this with some sexy scenes and you have a great entertaining romance novel.

I would recommend this book to paranormal & vampire romance fans. The book is a little on the funny side so if your looking for a fun read this book is for you.

Goodreads Blurb:
Jaguar shifter Maya Anderson learns about a secret jaguar society through undergournd social networking sites. She wanted to discover others like her, but now she's got more trouble than she bargained for—including one hot jaguar shifter who's set his sights on her. Wade Patterson has learned that Maya is a shifter—and available. But how does he get to know her when he left such a bad first impresssion? When he learns Maya has gone to a watering hole for jaguar shifters to meet up, he quickly follows after, hoping she is wily enough to hold her own...


My Review:
 Heart of the Jaguars turns out to be a great series especially for shifter lovers. In the first book we see Maya's brother find is jaguar shifter mate and now its Maya's turn. After posting her picture online in her jaguar form she draws more attention than she really ever dreamed. Maya and Wade must work together to fight against the trapping and hunting of Jaguars on the black market. 

I enjoyed this book as much as the first and the author does a great job of putting this series together so I would recommend that you read the series in order. If your a shifter lover and like lots of action with a kick ass heroine than this is the book for you. I highly recommend reading this series if you haven't already started. You will just fall in love with the characters and  be whisked away on a unknown adventure.
