Review: Viper Game (GhostWalkers, #11) by Christine Feehan

Viper Game by Christine Feehan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

What is going on with this series!!!!! It’s veering totally away from the first books. The Ghostwalkers and other characters in the latest book are beyond bizarre!!!!

Dr Whitney is doing some pretty weird things with his human experiments.
Here’s a short summary of this story….

Le Poivre de Cayenne, aka Pepper, beautiful and sensuous,

has been enhanced with snake venom and used to seduce and kill the doctor’s enemies…such as the Ghostwalkers…remember he’s out to annihilate them!
<
Pepper escapes with a baby from the laboratory, located in the Louisiana Bayou.

She’s rescued by Wyatt Fontenot, who happens to be the younger brother of Gator Fontenot (that yummy bayou Ghostwalker from the 3rd book, Night Game).

Now here’s one hell of a dangerous and possessive man!!!

He just takes over poor old Pepper’s life and BODY!!!

“No one else ever puts their hands, their mouth or their fuckin’ cock here, you got that? There’s only me for you. My hands, my mouth, my cock, you got that?” He snarled it at her, allowing his feral side to slip further out.

This is insta-love but as we learn more about Pepper and the triplets…yes there’s more than one baby that she fled with…the team goes back to the lab to rescue them….

I am not sure I like the new additions to the Ghostwalkers in this book. They are weird and odd…nothing like the original ones!!!

I liked the bayou setting

…dark, mysterious and dangerous and the characters that did it for me were Wyatt’s grandmother and the cute triplets…..Pepper & Wyatt were just too strange for me.

And then there’s the sex that the author likes to write pages and pages about!!! Let me just say that I found those Pepper & Wyatt “love” encounters off putting and so not sexy!!!!

She cried out and her body tightened around his, clamping hard. Hot, delicious cream enveloped him, scorching him, but he welcomed the fluid, the biochemically treated honey that he’d be forever addicted to. He wanted her to have multiple orgasms, produce as much as possible of her liquid gold.

Gross rather than sexy!!!!

I’m not sure where the author is taking this series but I am not enjoying the latest offerings!!!!

Review: Samurai Game (Ghostwalkers #10) by Christine Feehan

Samurai Game by Christine Feehan



This is the 10th book in this series, which I really liked in the beginning…..more about what I feel about the last one or two before this one later….

Azami Yoshiie, beautiful and dangerous, once known as Thorn, when she was used as an experiment by Dr Whitney and discarded and left to die in the streets of Tokyo, is adopted by a powerful samurai family and is now a powerful samurai and assassin.

She travels to the Ghostwalkers compound to negotiate a business deal, where she meets Sam Johnson.

Sam Johnson is a powerful Ghostwalker soldier, who has also been used and sacrificed by Dr Whitney.

When the two meet, they find that there is a strong bond between them which they can’t understand. Soon they are thrown together on a mission and discover that the connection they have with each other is deep and very strong.

This series is a bit of a hit and miss for me. Whilst I have really liked some of the books, there have been others that made me cringe and bored me to death!!!

I thought that there wasn’t much storyline….and nothing seemed to happen for a long time. On and on before any action and when finally the group gets on with their mission...which was so unbelievable…..and happen so fast….it was like…allright…Ghostwalkers got in, did their bit, killed the bad guys and all go home feeling good about their successful mission!!!

And jeezz…all those pages and more pages about the sexual encounters between Sam & Azami…repeat..repeat…and more repeat!!! I found myself skimming over those parts after the first or second “encounter”. I would have liked more action than sex!!!!!

I do like the Ghostwalkers world and the characters but this one was not one of my favorites in this series.

Review: The Man to Be Reckoned With (Mills & Boon Modern) by Tara Pammi

The Man to Be Reckoned With by Tara Pammi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was an okay read....I found the hero a bit off-putting. All that angst!!!

The heroine was much more likable......how she remained sane having a mother like hers was truly admirable. I would have been driven crazy.....
She also had such a kind and loving heart..... always thinking of the people she loved first. The hero was darn lucky that she loved him.

Review: To Wear His Ring Again (Mills & Boon Modern) by Chantelle Shaw

To Wear His Ring Again by Chantelle Shaw
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I was not crazy about this one although I thought at first I would enjoy it...after all the heroine is a famous rock-star in a band!!!!!

But somehow I just did not feel the magic!!!

I found the heroine a bit self-centered and felt that she gave up on the hero when things didn't go her way.

And so much repetition...over and over again!!!!!

Review: Playing by the Greek's Rules (Mills & Boon Modern) by Sarah Morgan

Playing by the Greek's Rules by Sarah Morgan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fabulous story!!!

Lily Rose (adore her name…) believes in love and HEA’s. Despite being an unwanted orphan and being let down and betrayed, she has not let it change her mind…

Nik Zervakis, is an enigmatic, gorgeous, sexy and very very rich Greek billionaire (ooh, I love Greek heroes..they are my absolute favorite – of course, it could have something to do with the fact that my late husband love of my life was a Greek hero…)

Now, Nik does not believe in love, in marriage and only does sex!!!!
So, what we have are two total opposites!!! What could possibly get Lily & Nik together???

Lily has a checklist for finding her perfect man!!!

”
I know the basic qualities I need in a man to be happy. I never date anyone who doesn't score highly on my three points.”
''First, he has to be affectionate. I'm not interested in a man who can't show his feelings. Second, he has to be honest, but short of getting him to take a lie detector test I don't know how to check that one.
'I want a man with strong family values. He has to want a family.

The problem is that she falls in love with all the wrong guys….she thinks that they fit the ticks in her boxes but instead turn out to be liars and cheats….just like her last boyfriend, who turned out to be married and never told her!!!

Lily is going to take control of her life. Forget love…..she’s going to try rebound sex!!!

Okay, Lily!!!!!

Her new adventure begins when she meets Nik, her boss, in his house, which she’s cleaning to make ends meet…in his bathroom….. WHAT A HILARIOUS SCENE!!!!! I was rolling on the floor with laughter!!!

She decides that Nik is just the right guy to practice rebound sex with………after all he’s not into the love thing….and what a luck…he totally agrees and they come to an agreement to have sex with no strings!!!!

But sometimes rules don’t really work. Nik is fascinated by Lily’s joie de vivre and lovable demeanor and Lily finds herself wanting to be his favorite person………something she has always wanted to be.
Nik tries hard not to fall in love with Lily – she is of course head over heels in love with him.
Lily is like a breath of fresh air………the dialogue between the two is absolutely fabulous…Lily never stops talking –

there’s no ;hidden agenda in her life. and Nik cannot resist her!!!! Yay!!!!

Nik & Lily’s HEA is sweet, emotional and witty………….and loved that she found her prince……

And just to end off my rave about these two adorable characters going off into the sunset after finding their HEA……..let me say that I, too…..

Review: Die Again: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel by Tess Gerritsen

Die Again: A Rizzoli & Isles Novel by Tess Gerritsen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Boston police Detective Jane Rizzoli and Forensic Pathologist Maura Isles are back.

The 11th book in Tess Gerritsen’s fantastic Rizzoli & Isles Series that grabs you from the first page….

In the slanting light of dawn I spot it, subtle as a watermark, pressed into the bare patch of dirt. Were it midday, when the African sun glares down hot and bright, I might have missed it entirely, but in early morning, even the faintest dips and depressions cast shadows, and as I emerge from our tent that lone footprint catches my eye. I crouch down beside it and feel a sudden chill when I realize that only a thin layer of canvas shielded us while we slept.

Jane & Maura are investigation a bizarre and sinister murder of a well-known game hunter and taxidermist, who has been left gutted and hanging in his home.

It soon becomes clear that his murder may be linked to the disappearance of six tourists in the Okavango Delta six years previously.

None of them have been seen again, except from one woman, who barely survived in the bush and who may be the only person who knows the killer, who may be continuing his killing spree in Boston.

Jane and her FBI husband travel to South Africa to persuade the lone survivor of the safari trip to help them identify the killer in Boston.

The settings are vividly written….you sense the danger of the African bush, you feel the menace that surrounds the safari group, the fear that the survivor feels.

The relationship between Jane & Maura– Jane, hot headed, smart tough and Maura, logical and clear headed - their differences are what makes them work so well. As Jane tells Maura…..

We both chose this work because we’re not sunshine-and-ponies kind of gals.’ ”

An intractably woven plot that switches from present day in Boston to six years ago in Botswana. The connection between the two narratives slowly unfolds with heart-pounding. Intense page turning that keeps you guessing until the very end.

Clever, action-packed filled with twists, turns and surprises until the last page!!!
