A World of Turmoil and Yearning

Wunder may have a normal life now…well, as normal as a freak of nature could have. Half zombie while her job is to hunt bloodthirsty creatures to protect the innocent. It’s the dreams that haunt her and they aren't nightmares. Wunder dreams of a man, a man made just for her. Is he real, can he be the one she‘s yearned for?

Pete’s world is a lonely one as he wrestles with the reality of being part zombie. His hatred for the creatures that killed his parents drives him to patrol the streets and wipe them all out. His life would be stark, but for the dreams he’s been having; of a woman, so sensuous, so sexy. These alluring visions have become erotic and consuming. He feels as if he made her up to keep from going crazy. Is this life of hunting the walking dead, all there is? Or is she out there, waiting…just for him?

Instinct (Wunder #4) Coming 2015

776 has escaped from RIP, again. Wunder is missing, she just disappeared from their bed and Pete is losing it. No leads, no possibilities. His one and only focus is to find her. He plans to use their connection, the one they’ve had for decades but never really knew it until they met. He wants to try and reach her through their dreams as he’d done before.

Is there a way to get back what they shared before they even met, or is Wunder lost to him forever?

Goodreads Blurb:

Vampires, strippers, escorts, night clubs, gangs, pimps and corrupt cops, the Nightlife of New York is never boring.

Is she a beautiful blond guardian angel as he imagined, or something else entirely? When Michelle saves Aaron's life she shares the benefits of her blood (after getting him shot accidentally). He awakes a changed man, living in a purgatory of eternal night, never to see the sunrise again.

Michelle drags Aaron through a hardcore learning curve of vampiric slavery. Forced to adapt to servitude, Aaron is subject to her authority of compulsion. She orders him around like a puppet on a string, a dog on a very short leash. First things first, he must learn to feed properly without creating bloodslaves (humans addicted to the powerful drug-like effect of their venomous bite).

And then she puts him to work-a male escort in the sex trade-same as Michelle. Aaron walks a tightrope of strictly controlled feeding regiments and intensely erotic sexual adventures while catering to the neurotic control-freak tendencies of his new master. It's do or die, Michelle vows to eliminate him if he proves too difficult to control. The real kicker-amidst all these shocking and degrading adjustments, Aaron finds he's falling in love.

Can he maintain and keep a sliver of his humanity intact? Innocence is a luxury few can afford in the decadent nightlife of New York. In a world where sex, blood, and power over women is so readily accessible, Aaron struggles against the predatory instincts deeply rooted in his new psyche. He must find his way quickly, practicing rigid self-control, or risk the consequences of Michelle's wrath.

My Review:

The Nightlife was very interesting and different paranormal read for me. A 3.5 rounded to a 4 rating. Very vivid, exciting and sexual, yup, a good start to the series. Any fans of the genre out there looking for something different will definitely enjoy this naughty vampire tale.

Aaron is an innocent hard working young man that tried to do a very brave and good thing trying to save a woman in distress. What he gets in return takes him to a new level, a new life and an adventure beyond his wildest dreams. His life will never be the same again.

Michelle is a vampire that does what she has to do to survive. One of those things is to keep her vampirism a secret. When she crosses paths with an innocent soul, one who put his life at risk to save hers without even knowing a thing about her or what she is. She does what she can to save him. Now she’s become a master and finds herself falling for her creation.

I enjoyed the story and the build to Michelle and Aaron as a couple. But I did not care for Michelle or her character at all. She was rather annoying, overly bossy and I just could not relate to her. However, I did see some positive changes in her as the story came to its end and hope that she continues in that direction for the next in the series. I look forward to see what happens with Aaron and Michelle in Vegas ;)

Goodreads Blurb: A SECRET SOCIETY, MODERN DAY KNIGHTS, AND VAMPIRE LIKE NO OTHER come together in a dimension where chance intersects romance for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure proving that true love can find you in the strangest places, even far, far from home.

Minutes ahead of inevitable assassination, Elora Laiken is forcibly transported to an alternate dimension similar, but not identical, to her own. She is stranded. Alone. Far from home. A stranger in a "strangish" land. Of course a girl could suffer worse problems than having gorgeous suitors. Perhaps more importantly, in the midst of an epidemic of vampire related abductions, can she stay alive long enough to choose between an honor debt, true love, or the breathlessness of single-minded passion?

My Familiar Stranger is a full length, stand-alone, Paranormal/Fantasy Romance novel that also sets up the foundation for the Black Swan series. It is loved by fans of paranormal romance, fantasy romance, and urban fantasy.

My Review: I had a lot of fun reading this book. My Familiar Stranger is very exciting, realistic, emotional, romantic, funny, scary and adventurous. It is an amazing new world with characters that are just as amazing. I feel that any fan of the genre with definitely enjoy an escape with it more than once :)

Elora was literally THRUST, thrown into a new world, a start to a new life, just so she’d be safe, and stay alive. She goes through a tremendous amount of pain and agony. Not just physical, but emotional as well. Luckily she’s one amazingly strong and determined woman that can easily adapt to new surroundings. Actually so much so, she blows the minds of practically everyone she meets (in a great, positive way), yes indeed many jaws drop from the surprises Elora beholds.

Elora meets many new friends, finds great purpose and meets some very alluring male specimen (possible love interests and each very intriguing). Which quickly becomes a love triangle of very difficult choices, in the end, the perfect decision is made and fate comes through at its finest.

A 4.5 out of 5 rating for me (nicely rounded to a solid 5). My reason for not giving a complete 5 rating is the transitioning of POV’s. I found myself not knowing who was speaking or thinking a few times and had to go back a few lines to make sure of the who. It was still an amazing and very entertaining story that I see myself (and many others) marking to be read again and again. I look forward to what’s to behold in the next of the series and how the Order of the Black Swan will conquer the evil that lurks and to seeing how strong relationships and bonds will build.

Drawing is her world...but when she's banished to a deadly new world and needs help, it's his world too.

Her... Storey Dalton wants to go home - but something goes terrifyingly wrong and she ends up in her worst nightmare. There's no escape...not without Eric or her stylus. Then she finds someone who needs rescuing even more than she does...

Him... Eric Jordan races to save Storey, only to realize a close family member has betrayed them both. Now the enemy is closing in on him. When he meets up with Storey, he knows her plans are a bad idea, but she won't be dissuaded...and it could be their only way of staying alive.

It... The stylus, now bonded to Storey's artistic soul, is determined to survive this new chaos - against all odds. But damaged from a prolonged separation, he can't help Story or Eric - without making things worse.

Them... Storey is determined to make things right. Eric is determined to help her. Neither counts the personal cost, until their very lives are in danger.

My Review: 

A good continuation from where Dangerous Designs left off, a 3.5 rating rounded to a 4 for me. It did not go in the direction I expected it to, but it was no less good than the first. Still an amazingly creative, vivid world with twists, excitement, adventure and a few surprises. Anyone looking into reading this without reading the first in the series can rest at ease, Deadly Designs was written so it can be read as a stand-alone. It contained a perfect amount of information that allows the reader to flow right along with the story and its characters without feeling lost; a read that many YA paranormal fans will enjoy :)

Storey is experiencing a bout of homesickness and it seems that she’ll get anywhere else but there. She and Eric end up on yet another mission (mostly not by choice), but this time it’s to help two others in need of assistance. One, known as the enemy to Eric’s people, the other is a new found enemy of Storey. She has grown up a lot from when she was first introduced to us. I’m beginning to see her more as a woman and not a teenager. She puts herself at risk for others in need, even if they are the enemy. A character that sets many great examples for others.

Eric has also grown in character a great deal. He’s now gotten to experience more of life than he ever has through the eyes, mind and exuberance that is Storey and he’s enjoying each new experience, well except for a few minor (hee hee) bumps that are in their path.

I look forward to the next in the series. There was a lot left hanging by the end and some questions not answered. Knowing there is going to be another in the series, one thing I am hoping that Storey and Eric finally realize what the truly mean to one another and have a happily ever after.

 The Sons of Navarus series continues...

I am everything you seek. I am vampire.

Blessed with the gift of telepathy, Terek always knows what a woman wants. His gift has afforded him nightly sensual pleasures and exotic treats for centuries, but beneath the surface he yearns for much more.

Ilona can give him what his soul craves, but only if he trusts his heart. One fateful choice made out of desire puts all he cares for in danger. With a civil war and the threat of Archon hunters at every turn, this Son may lose everything if he can't find the balance between heart and mind.

My Review: Gabrielle has kept the series very strong going and full of surprises from our Sons of Navarus. Once again we learn even more about the Sons, with book 3 we now have an even clearer picture of their purpose and the why of their numbers. A definite great addition to any fans of paranormal romance to add on to their TBR piles and read ASAP :)

Oh Terek (sigh), such a dreamy vampire that would make any woman down on her knees just to give him the pleasure he deserves. He holds up a very strong front, but has suffered great loss in his past. It still affects him to this day, but he continues to bring happiness to others and save those in need that he can assist. He loves, but not in the way one with a heart of his caliber should. Feeling something new within him, a happiness he’s not remembered ever experiencing during his life as a vampire, he wonders what the mystery is behind the female beauty named Ilona.

Ilona is in one of those situations of being in “the wrong place at the wrong time” or the reverse, all depending how you look at it. She has a good human life, she has a job, she lives with family she loves and they love her back. Viciously attacked by a vampire while on her way home from a party, she must now face a new life; one without her family and in a strange new situation that she is having a very hard time accepting. She knows nothing of how to be other than what and who she is. The only thing she is sure of at this point is the pull, the strong attraction she has to Terek.

I feel each and every book of the series can be read as a stand-alone without the reader being lost or confused. But I truly recommend reading the series in full and in order so you can get the full effect of what the author has created for us all to enjoy.

 A domina’s only purpose in life was to birth vampire children for the Quiet King. Any human woman with the domina gene spent their lives in the castle under strict rules and the guards’ watchful eyes. Brie has been a domina for two years. After witnessing the slaughter of babies, she plans to escape and seeks help from Samuel, a vampire known for aiding many out of slavery.

However, Samuel has only one policy. He won’t help dominas escape the king. The penalty is too high and their blood triggers powers in him that he doesn’t want released. So Brie is forced to lie about being a domina and Samuel is lured in by her blood. Something emerges within them that they can’t deny, overwhelming their every cell and igniting an all-consuming hunger that neither can flee.

 I loved this story! And there are some amazing illustrations within. They gave a picture perfect effect to what the author wanted to express and made it even more enjoyable! A definite MUST read for all paranormal romance fans looking for something original, enjoyable and satisfying!

Brie has been a domina for 2 long years. She remained untouched by the Quiet King or any other vampire throughout that time. Wanting and needing to get back home, to the life and family she had before becoming a domina she gains aid to escape and be whole again. What greets her on the journey is everything but what is expected. It’s not easy getting away from the Quiet Kings palace or the dangers that lurk on the trail to her home, family and freedom. She also runs into a crossroad and is unsure which way to go. Samuel has guided her this far, but will he help her make the right decision?

Samual is very well known for helping people across the boarders and aiding them to safety. He has one rule and that rule is he’ll help out all except domina’s. When Brie is brought to him, he knows exactly what he has in his care and cannot bring himself to refuse the beauty before him, now to help her realize what is plain as day before her eyes and available to her every single need and desire.

Be ready for some tears, laughter and quite a few surprises. I am already impatient for the next in the series. I NEED to know what will become of Samuel and Brie and if their paths will continue on the same…

Love conquers all . . . but can it stop the Apocalypse?

Mira Herald is having the worst life ever. Not only is she plagued by horrific nightmares starring the Devil himself, she’s now the target of a power-hungry, rogue minion, freshly sprung from Hell and bent on her destruction. To complicate matters further, she’s acquired a stalker. One who insists he’s a divine warrior sent for her protection because she houses an ancient relic with the power to unleash Armageddon. Last time Mira checked, she wasn’t insane. Still, all this celestial mayhem is enough to drive a girl crazy.

Kagan is a member of the Scion, an elite team of immortal warriors selected by Divinity to aid mankind and save the world. After a century alone, Kagan is summoned for a new mission. He’s eager to begin. Eager until he’s informed his mission consists of protecting a woman with no clue to the power she wields. Plus, his briefing fails to prepare him for his new target’s cosmic-sized attitude problem. As Divinity’s sworn servant, he’s required to fulfill his duty. His oath, however, does not require him to be enthusiastic about his new assignment or warm-and-fuzzy toward his new compatriot. He plans a wham-bam rescue and a quick return to solitude.

The minion attacks—with the backing of a mysterious organization—and all Hades erupts, putting a fast end to any whirlwind escapes. Accustomed to staunch independence, Mira’s survival now requires full cooperation and an unwavering belief in Kagan. The battle-hardened warrior is also forced to chose: between duty and desire. Amidst the turmoil, Kagan and Mira’s undeniable passion draws them closer to each other and down a path neither expected but both yearn for, more than they ever knew.

Will love save the day? The world’s fate depends on the answer.

My Review: A different type of paranormal romance that’s packed full of action, excitement, romance and kick butt characters that any fan of the genre will surely enjoy :)

I admire Mira. She has had a very hard life, filled with trauma and has built a brutal wall around her being (and heart) to help her stay safe in all ways possible. She has one friend and only one (named Zoe). Besides her wall and her one friend, she has made sure she learned how to defend herself from any that may try to harm her or any she cares about. One night while she’s working and meets an arrogant male named Kagan, she feels things, strange things. That she DOES NOT want to explore!

Kagan has a tortured past, a past that haunts him and not many are aware of. He has lived for centuries as a warrior along with a handful of others. All warriors of his ilk are cursed to never know or find their mate, to truly love or to have a family. When he finds himself drawn in inappropriate ways to his new assignment, he’s confused and finds it very difficult to ignore the strength and beauty of the female warrior before him. He does know he will do anything in his power to protect her.

These two have a lot more in common than they realize. Even though at different times, and very different situations. They both carry deep hurt and they can each help to heal the other. I just LOVE when fate puts two people together and they end up with no control over the love that blooms. I hope the author is planning on a series for this group of warriors. I find them all very… intriguing ;)

Goodreads Blurb: One hundred ninety-eight seasons after the mushroom-shaped clouds first blossom to poison the humans of the Rising Sun, near the beginning of the Season of Inundation, Atlantis will return.

With those words ringing in their ears, vampires Christine Javert and Jordan MacNaught find themselves in a race against time to stop the return of Atlantis. As they hunt for the deadly Ares, they discover his plots to incite a world-wide species war are in fact diversion from his far more sinister plans for the humans.

My Review: Once again Tory takes me by surprise in the direction she takes with the series. It was a great continuation (my favorite so far) and has even more magic, deception, action, suspense and romance than before. Any paranormal romance reader will definitely enjoy Prophecy of Blood!

Chris is still the beautiful, intelligent and strong woman we were introduced to earlier in the series. She learns many new things about herself, where she truly comes from, her powers and more about others that she’s unsure she even wants to know. One thing she DOES know for sure is… she’s falling hard for Jordan. So much to worry about with all that’s happening around her, she now has the fear that is her friends find out about how she feels, she’ll no longer have them :(

Jordan seems almost like a new man. He’s still a bit of a loon, a hardcore bad ass and sexually attracted to one he should be repulsed by, or should he. He fights many battles with both himself and others around him trying to bring harm to many. He should not care, yet he does and will stop at nothing to keep them all safe, especially Chris.

I LOVED seeing another side to both Jordan and Chris. An actual softer side (well as soft as you can get with these two), I never thought I’d actually grow to like Jordan. But I do! For those of you wondering if it can be read as a stand-alone read, the answer is yes. But I strongly suggest you reading the entire series in order so you can truly understand the whys and the how’s of the story. You may not truly appreciate what goes on (especially between Chris and Jordan) otherwise :)

Goodreads Blurb:  Warning: Hot, steamy threesomes, chauvinism and more are running wild in the jungle. Can you handle the heat?

Abducted by a pair of hunky, tribal warriors, Carlie doesn’t think things can get any stranger until the first time she purrs.

Everyone’s heard of the mysterious Moon Ghost Jaguars, supposed shapeshifting men who steal women as their brides. What they forgot to mention was that half naked, ripped and oh so delicious, they always came as a pair – and turned into really big freakn’ cats! But Carlie’s not about to let these furry Tarzan’s dictate her future, even if they seem to have conquered her body.

Acat didn’t think he wanted a mate until he came across the outspoken American with golden hair. Making her his bride is only part of the battle. With the help of his best friend, Chaob, can he find a way to convince this strong willed woman to follow the traditions of his tribe? Or will this reluctant jungle bride get her lovers to accept the fact she’ll never be a classic barefoot and pregnant mate?

 Oh what a wonderfully HOT and invigorating jungle adventure! I love Eve’s original and very entertaining humor. It just shines right through everything she writes. Add on some hot shifters, a beautiful tropical jungle and amazing sex and we have ourselves one great read, one that any erotic, paranormal romance reader will enjoy a tropical escape with ;)

Carlie is with a research group deep in jungle depths right along with its wildlife. She’s one tough cookie that loves her freedom and will not hold back voicing it either. She awakens in her tent with company and before you know it wakes up again while she’s being kidnapped and taken even deeper into the jungle. Her kidnappers will not speak to her, so communication is null. No clue what’s going on, well except for the fact she was kidnapped. She continues to voice the unpleasantness of the situation with hopes of them letting her go. Not. Gonna. Happen. Once again waking up from passing out, she finds herself among the tribe of the Moon Ghost Jaguars and two of them being her hot kidnappers. What’s a girl to do?

Chaob and Acat are longtime friends and fated by the gods to share the same woman. When they finally find her, they are unsure how to feel, at first. She’s a beauty in their eyes and VERY different from any woman ever brought to their tribe to become a bride. But they are determined to succeed, be a mated trio and live a happy life in the jungle. Can they convince their bride that she belongs with them and will be happy living their ways?

There is so much fun and antics among this trio; the fights, the excitement, the growing love that’s not realized at first by the characters but seen by the reader. Each one of them learned something from being brought together, forced or not, fate is fate and you just cannot mess with it, ever!  I hope there will be more to the Freakn' Shifters series! I will miss it so much once it reaches its end :(
