Review: The Contaxis Baby by Lynne Graham

The Contaxis Baby (Greek Tycoons) by Lynne Graham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved this story.....it had a bit of a twist that I wasn't expecting...

The two mc's, Lizzie & Sebastan were beyond adorable.

Sebastan, the rich and gorgeous alpha-male, who turned out to have a heart so soft and filled with gold.....who would have expected that from him?

And Lizzie - you just had to love this woman. Quirky, cute and totally adorable.

Loved their chemistry together, their dialogue which was filled with wit.

One of my LG favourites.......and one of my fav hero/heroine.

Review: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

This was a beautiful story that made my heart ache. Filled with so much love, despair, fear, joy, humour and pain that just broke my heart. Half-way through the story, I had to stop ….i needed to process my thoughts, my feelings….i fell asleep crying my eyes out. Picking it up again this morning…….I had this feeling that I was in the story with Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. The more I read, the more I cried. In fact from page 120 onwards, I was unable to stop crying. My heart squeezed so tightly……this journey these two beautiful young people took together…..is something I will keep with me for a very long time. It’s story that I will always remember and think about. There were so many things that made so much sense to me – perhaps being one of those people who has gone through some of the things they went through….but not nearly as such pain and sadness as they did – that it made such a dent in me. This is the book I loved the most that I read in 2013 and the first by this author. I really liked the writing and I am looking forward to reading more by John Green.

Review: The Dimitrakos Proposition by Lynne Graham

The Dimitrakos Proposition by Lynne Graham
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

No, this story just did not do it for me!!!!!!
Lynne Graham is one of my favorite M&B authors but I have experienced a hit and miss with her last few books and The Dimitrakos Proposal is one of those “miss” ones!!!

I like alpha males and spunky heroines….but the two mc’s were beyond reality!!!

The hero – Acheron Dimitrakos
So, this guy is gorgeous…

but let me just say that his first name “blew” me away…! I constantly had this image of

Acheron Parthenopaeus (who happens to be a sexy god) in Sherrilyn Kenyon’s The Dark Hunter Series, in my head!!!! Okay, I could have dealt with that one, but Acheron D is nothing like Acheron P!!! In fact I did not care very much for him.
Yes, he had a terrible and painful past but that did not give him the right to behave like he did towards Tabby (jeezz…I hated this name…but more about that later!!!).

I found it hard to believe that a man like him would feel a “pull in his groin” when he first meets the heroine, who happens to be dressed in old and scruffy clothes – what, he feels hard for someone he thinks is rude, plain and just off the streets!!!!!!!!!! Too hard for me to “swallow” that!! A Wait a minute Alex….this is fiction…every thing is possible….because underneath that plainness, is this gorgeous woman with luscious and decadent pink lips………

See what great clothes and make-up and living the life of the rich can do for a girl!!!!!!

And that same old and used over and over again…………..drives me insane !!!!

“you’re very responsive.” Acheron purred

By the time he shows any warmth or emotion towards the end of the story – with little Amber and T…..I was ready to pull his hair out!!!! Okay, he’s a bit better towards the end…………………..

The heroine – Tabby Barnes
Tabby….is that for real……..!!! I had visions of a ginger tabby cat in my head everytime I read her name!!!!

That has to be the most unfortunate name ever!!!!!!

Now, there is sassy and there is idiotic and totally painful…and sassy Tabby sure isn’t!!

So, A and T have done it….of course, she’s a 25year old virgin……..and A rushes to the bathroom after the deed and when he comes back into the bedroom…..

“A-star for the sex, F for failure to follow-up,” Tabby pronounced with scorn

Enough for a “downer” don’t you think??

She agrees to marry the millionaire so she can adopt her best friend’s baby (baby’s mother having died after giving birth), because she loves little Amber and will do anything for her…even marrying a despicable millionaire!!! But I didn’t feel that love she had for Amber…..gives in to nannies, etc etc etc!!! The only good thing I felt was that she got old Ash to “bond” with the baby!!! Hurrah for Tabby!!!!! Allright….she’s not that awful…at times I almost liked her!!!!!!!

The side mystery in the story was another part I thought a bit thin!!!! The wicked stepsister plot was a bit OTT………and the resolution to her “stalking”…..left me saying………NO, REALLY!!!! Too easy way out!!!!

The character I absolutely adored was little Emma……..

So, will these two get their HEA…..will Ash become a soft, loving, family man who loves his beautiful little doll (yes, that’s how she’s described somewhere along the way!!), who will bear him loads of beautiful boys and girls who will look like their daddy and mommy!!! If you a lover of this author’s books, read it to find out the END!!!!!


This was an okay read for me (I have to own up….I did skip a few pages here and there……but I did finish the book…..I had to know the ending!!!!) and it wasn’t exactly an awful book…just not awesome, like I expect from LG.

Review: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I remember reading this book when it was first published in 1979, and thinking what an odd story.

So, decided to read it again......and still found it a bit of a strange plot.

Although there are some funny parts, which had me laughing out loud, I found the writing style hard to read...didn't flow....too much rambling...on and on.

Despite not much of a plot, the story line is interesting.

Not sure if I will read it again.

I did watch the movie, which I thought was totally dreadful.

Review: Darker After Midnight by Lara Adrian

Darker After Midnight by Lara Adrian
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been waiting for Stirling Chase's story for a long time and finally, it's here.

What a great 'FINALE" to the Midnight Breed Series.....so much happens in this story that just blows your mind.

Fast-paced, a riveting and dark world filled with characters that stay with you for a long time.

Firstly, I loved Chase and Tavia Fairchild. A dark, tortured hero and a heroine that I never expected....don't want to spoil what it was.....you find out!!! Their chemistry, both sexual and emotional was beyond amazing!!!!!

A final show-down between the Breed warriors and their mates and the evil Dragos.

Chaos reigns in planet Earth with some really unexpected surprises.

This is such a fabulous series and if you love vampires with a "difference", then read every book.

Review: Shades of Midnight by Lara Adrian

Shades of Midnight by Lara Adrian
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book...probably one of my favourite in the series so far.

Stunning settings in Alaska - so vividly described...the remoteness, silence, whiteness, desolate....totally amazing.

Adored Alexandra and Kade. What a fabulous couple. Great sexual and emotional tension betweem the two. Also enjoyed the secondary characters in this vastness of land....dark, menacing...

I like the way that we get to meet up with all the characters we have grown to love.

The Breeds World is certainly becoming more and more intense and complicated. A lot of new things are coming to light and we learn more about the aliens and the Ancient Ones.

Review: Deeper than Midnight by Lara Adrian

Deeper Than Midnight: A Midnight Breed Novel by Lara Adrian
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

What made me like this story was the Breed males and their women. I just love Lucan & Gabrielle and adore Dante & Tess. Some of the best parts.....having Chase in the scenes. I have grown to really love this guy.

I thought Hunter & Corinne's story rather sweet but not that emotional.

A lot is happening in the Breeds World and Dragos is stepping up his "evilness".

And the cliffhanger....can't wait for the next book!

Not my favourite in this series.

I didn't engage with the two mc's as much as I did with the previous stories.

And, though I enjoyed seeing some of the characters that I have come to love, I found myself not totally into the story of Jenna & Brock.

Ashes of Midnight by Lara Adrian
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I really like this series and even since meeting Andre I looked forward to his story. I engaged with his character and after the tragedy that happenned in his life, I wanted to see him find happiness again.

What didn't work for me was Claire. Could there ever be anyone so dumb and idiotic like her......the whole trust issue she had with Andre...please...where are you coming from???? I wanted to throttle her a few times.

Loved getting to see the characters from the previous books...Lucan & Gabrielle...I love that couple and Mira...adore her...not forgetting Renata...what great characters.

World building continues to grow and I can't wait for the next story.

Review: Seduced by Cari Quinn

Seduced by Cari Quinn


: What a great start to a series about rockstars, all their trials and tribulations as they rise from “oblivion” to superstar status.

Well written, fast paced with characters that are flawed but at the same time, endearing. We see the ugly side of a lifestyle that we all think is so glamorous and here we are reminded that there is the sex, drugs, and booze too. Betrayals, insecurities, jealousies, fights, and the “sharks” and “hanger-ons” that surround the band.

We follow the members of the band as they struggle and work towards their goal……making and playing music and becoming famous and successful….and it’s not without its many obstacles on the way.

Did I forget to mention that I loved the drummer in the band......JAZZ!!! Wow, she rocks!!!

I am really looking forward to reading the entire series.

Review: Love, Sex, Repeat by Alessandra Torre

Sex Love Repeat by Alessandra Torre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Nothing about this book was what I expecting!!!! The incredible writing, the fresh and new spin on a ménage storyline, the setting and fantastic and endearing characters…..what can I say but that…………..

From the opening pages………..

I love two men. I screw two men. I am in a relationship with them both, and they are both aware there is another. That is all they need to know, that is all I let them know. They don’t need to know a name; they don’t need to know anything, but that they are not alone in my heart.

To meeting the 3 main characters:

Madison

I wasn’t prepared to feel such a connection with her . Here’s this woman that is not only beautiful on the outside but inside as well. She’s warm, loving, caring (the one scene with her stepfather was really poignant), and lives her life on her own terms, never wanting to cause pain or hurt to anyone. How could I possibly not like her…..totally understood why both men had such intense feelings for her.

I hate society's notion that there is something wrong with sex. Something wrong with a woman who loves sex.

Paul

A young, sexy and gorgeous professional surfer, living in Venice beach, is laid back and cares only, apart from Madison, for finding and conquering the next big wave in his life.

Can I be honest and admit that I fell in love with this warm and loving guy. I felt that he truly loved Madison and was prepared to do anything to make her happy –agreeing to her “outlandish” proposition and even if it meant giving her up to Stewart if that was what she chose.

Stewart

Powerful, wealthy, sexy, dominant male, totally dedicated to his job and immersed in his work, which Madison is fitted into the little free time he has in his life. He’s totally obsessed and in love with her, physically and emotionally and he realizes that he’s not fulfilling all her needs. So he proposes that she find another man who will give her what he cannot…..more time with her.
Whilst I did have a soft spot for him, I did think the love he had for Madison was not strong enough should there be anything that would disrupt his life. Of course, the issues in his past had a lot to do with his emotional psyche, which come back with a bang!!!

"The three of us. Living two separate relationships. I get that you don't understand. That you wonder how someone could possibly be aroused, turned on by the thought of something so forbidden. But often, it is the forbidden that is the hottest, and the depraved that is the most arousing."

Two amazing men, both intense, each giving Madison what she thinks she needs in her life.

Paul loves me with unconditional warmth, his affection public and obvious, his arms pulling me into his warmth, his mouth littering my body with frequent kisses.

Stewart loves me with a tiger’s intensity, his need taking my breath away, his confidence in our relationship strong enough to not be bothered by the presence of another man. He stares into my soul as if he owns it, and shows his love with money, sex, and rare moments of time.

“God.... he whispers. “You are my fucking kryptonite.” He leans down pressing soft kisses on my hair and forehead, his hand releasing me and cradling my face, turning it up to his, and kissing my fully and deeply on the lips. “I love you Madison. For everything.”

The twist…..the first one, I was like WOW…………I didn’t see that coming!!! And just when I thought…okay, we have this HEA…..which just by the way, I absolutely LOVED….I’m thrown an epilogue that I can’t even describe in words how much it stunned me…..NOW…THAT I NEVER EXPECTED!!!!

Sorry, but I can’t help it….I loved the writing style and can’t stop with some more of my fav quotes:

‘I was, and still am, a dramatic rider. I believe that there’s no point in doing something if you aren’t going to do it with all of your heart.’

‘I love her. She knows it. I don’t hide the fact. But I don’t think she knows how much I love her. How much my chest expands to a point of pain when she smiles. How I ache when I leave her, how my hands shake when I finally get to touch her again. She is everything I don’t deserve, and everything I could ever hope to attain.’

If you want a beautifully and thoughtfully written story about passion, love with a fantastic, provocative and clever story line, then read this.

It’s an addictive read believe me!!!!!

I can’t wait to read more books from this author.

Review: Escape out of Darkness by Anne Stuart

Escape Out of Darkness by Anne Stuart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow………that’s why I love reading Anne Stuart’s books. She knows how to get you all tangled in the stories that make for non-stop reading.

I discovered this book by chance and I was a bit apprehensive when I saw that it was first published in 1987…but needn't have worried…….it’s just as fresh as if it was written today.

Let me begin by saying that the heroine is just my kind of woman!!!!!!! No shrinking violet – she’s beyond a smart, beautiful, no bull-shit kick-ass negotiator…spy!!!!!

. She’s like LARA CROFTNIKITA and ULTRAVIOLETall rolled into one fabulous MAGGIE BENNETT.!!!

Maggie Bennett (I still haven’t figure out what she actually does…..I think she’s an undercover CIA agent…..I bet she is…but who knows!!!), has a new mission. Go undetected to Idaho and bring in a witness that has been hiding in a safe house, back to Houston, for the trial of a huge drug operation bust.

No problem for her…..never mind she’s just got off a flight from London, no sleep for days….she’s on it!!!!!!
So she meets up with the witness, an ex rock-star turned music producer, Mack aka “Snake” Pulaski (I really didn’t like his names!!!)….but anyway, he doesn’t quite look that now, but he’s still a hot and sexy guy!!!! Of course I knew that….

Soon, we join these two as they dodge bullets, flee from murderous assassins, survive the plane crash, which just happens to break up in the sea…..not toooo far from where they have to go and find some guy that Maggie needs help from………..yes…..that guy is not in Idaho, not even in the USA but in rebel infested Nicaragua…no, not there..but near there..now what’s the place called????? Colombia? No! Honduras…that’s the place.

More shootings, cars blowing up and soon we see M & M flying to Zurich next. I wonder how they pay for everything. Don’t be daft Alex…this is fiction………NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

I really engaged with the two mc’s. Loved their banter and interaction…..

“Maggie, you may look like Miss Sweden and act like Superwoman but you’ve got the personality of a king cobra. Don’t you ever lighten up?” Mack

“You certainly are grumpy for little cause.” Mack
“You certainly are cheerful for little cause.” Maggie

“ What do you mean, little cause? The road is paved, the sun is rising, no one’s trying to shoot as us for the moment, we’ve got food, warm bottles of Coke, guns to keep off ravaging wildlife, and I’ve been extremely well-laid. What more could I ask?” Mack

“When did you get over Randall?”Mack
“Last week, dammit. When you stepped out of the shadows in Moab, Utah. Now shut up and let me ache in peace.Maggie

and the airport scene was a laugh a minute!!!! Maggie…..she always has a plan……..a bit like Sarah Connor…remember her???

I found the info on the characters below which introduces some of the characters in the series:

• Margrethe Elisa Bennett: Almost six feet of Nordic gorgeousness, she does protection work for a Third World Causes, Ltd..

• Mack Pulaski: Record producer, former rock star and lead singer of Why, his throat (and singing ability) were wrecked in a gangland attack years ago. He just witnessed a drug deal that was connected to international terrorists, and he needs protection.
• Peter Wallace: Head of Third World Causes, an ex-lover and a friend.

• Jeffrey Van Zandt: CIA agent full of sleazy charm.

• Mancini: International drug dealer.

• Sybil Bennett: Maggie’s movie star mother.

• Kate Bennett: Maggie’s half-sister who lives in Chicago and works for an indie movie studio.

• Holly Bennett: Maggie’s half-sister–a super-model.

• Jilly Bennett: Maggie’s half-sister–a doctor living in the Pacific Northwest.

• Randall Carter: The one man Maggie ever loved.

• Bud Willis: Former CIA, mercenary and creep.

• Mike Jackson: head of the DC branch of Third World Causes.

• Hercule Mersot: Organized crime lord.

• Enrique Castanasta: some puppet general in the RAO rebel army

• Lonesome Fred: the stoned pilot who comes to a watery end.

• Consuela: Bud Wills “woman” in Honduras, who we are not sure if she comes to a stick end or not.

This was such a fun and thrilling ride……and I am hopefully going to find book #2 & #3…..I have to keep up with Maggie Bennett’s next adventures!!!

Review: Wicked Nights by Gena Showalter

Wicked Nights by Gena Showalter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So I’m looking for some new pnr to read and having enjoyed “some “ of Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series, decided to delve into her new series about fallen angels…..Angels of the Dark, beginning with the 1st book, Wicked Nights.

I’m in two minds about this book. It’s not that I hated the story, but I just couldn’t love it.
Fallen angels trying to redeem themselves, fighting against evil demons – plus after meeting the head angel, Zacharel, in the LOTU books, I was so looking forward to his story and wow….a chance to meet up with some of my fav LOTU characters.
Wow, the opening chapter begins with a bang………and then……..page after page I slowly turned, trying to keep myself from

I felt the story becoming a bit disjointed for me and found it really difficult to connect with the characters. I had this vision in my head of Zacharel & Annabelle that refused to go away…….

Struggling along, half way thru, I suddenly PERKED UP!!!!

Yay….here come the lords and ladies from the Underworld….and my favs too…..Paris, Lucien the fabulous and gorgeous goddess of anarchy, Anya, and Strider and cutest harpy ever, Kaia………. Amun and the fabulous and unforgettable demon assassin, Haidee……I’m in heaven…

…..hey, wait a minute….this is not a LOTU book…I’m supposed to be telling you about Z & A!!! Sorry, just got a bit carried away here!!!
But honestly, the best part in this book is when these guys make an appearance….that’s when I began getting into this whole world of tortured and fallen angels bit!! That’s also the time that the dialogue got really interesting, funny and totally fab………

The redhead stepped into Annabelle’s personal space, claiming her notice by rising on her tiptoes to pat her on the top of her head. “Never mind, I can guess. You think that because they’re possessed, they’re pure evil. Well, news flash, china doll. The demons are evil, but the guys who house them are marshmallows. I’m the real nightmare here.”

“I still have no idea what a Harpy is,” Annabelle pointed out.
“A death machine, that’s what,” Kaia said.
“But…”
“No buts, Annabelle.” Zacharel looked to the redhead. “And, Kaia. Behave.”
“Fine. But only because you somehow turned this black as night day into a bright shining light, so I’m gonna do you a solid and obey. Want to know how you did that, huh, huh? Good, I’ll tell you.” She barely paused to pop a bubble with her gum. “You used to give Lysander crap about dating my darling sister, but look at you now. You’re pulling a Paris and dating a Hunter, aren’t you, and they’re the worst of the worst!”

“You’re too hot,” Annabelle gritted out. Hotter than Zacharel’s hands sometimes were.
The tiny female smiled unabashedly. “I know, right! But my twin sister is way hotter, I promise.”
Twin? There were two of them?
“Kaia,” Zacharel began, as Annabelle said, “Let go of me, tiny tot. Now.”
“Tiny tot. Cute. But what’s the magic word?”
“Kaia!” Zacharel and Strider said in unison.
“Nope. That’s not it.”
Annabelle blurted out a rough, “I’ll kick you in your lady balls if you don’t.”
“Bingo!” One by one, Kaia pried her nails loose, leaving little red welts on Annabelle’s skin.
“I think you’re the weirdest person I’ve ever met,” Annabelle groused.
“And you’re the sweetest. So tell me,” Kaia said, and popped another bubble. “Is Zacharel a good lover? Because I’ve got big money on the answer being no. Yeah, he has big hands, and he really knows what to do with them on a battlefield, but have you ever tried to banter with him? Dude is clueless. I figure the same cluelessness extends to the mattress mambo.”

“Uh…” Suddenly everyone in the room was staring at her. Including Zacharel. “He’s, uh, great?” Never had she been more uncomfortable.
“Oh, man.” Kaia’s shoulders slumped.
Strider, the demon keeper of Defeat, whooped and fist-pumped the air. “Told you, baby doll. I told you.”
Kaia spun, piercing him with a glare. “The fact that you won a bet about another man’s sexuality isn’t something to brag about, you idiot.”
He blew her a kiss. “You’re sexy when you’re a sore loser.”
She brightened, fluffed her hair. “Of course I am, but I challenge you to prove it.”
“With pleasure.” The two just kind of leapt at each other, kissing as if the other’s mouth held a lifesaving supply of oxygen.
Does anyone else find this bizarre?

You can’t help loving these characters.

Okay, right back to A & Z ….still not sure what my feelings are for these two. Their dialogue was a bit off for me….and all this to and fro when they’re together…not even did I get excited about the sex and seduction parts….a bit repetitive, bland!!!

So, ending with a twist totally unexpected…well not totally exactly…..I did have a fleeting idea about it….but not the whole thing!!!

Am I going to read the next books in this series???? At first, didn’t think so….but the thought of checking in with the LOTU’s again…….too hard to give in to missing that part!!! Plus, I loved the idea of the Fallen Angels Army being whipped by their “boss” totally awesome….and if these guys continue being the badly behaved “fliers”, I can’t wait to discover what the outcome will be for them.

Jeez, nearly forgot…….and wait, it’s not a spoiler exactly, because after all we all want and love a HEA…….and Zacharel and Annabelle…things just work out so gooood for them…….yes, their HEA!!!!!

Review: Holy Frigging Matrimony - A Tangled Series Short Story by Emma Chase

Holy Frigging Matrimony - A Tangled Series Short Story by Emma Chase
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What more can I say than I JUST LOVE THIS GUY!!!! Drew has become one of my FAVORITE male characters ever. How can one not love this guy?????

She answers, “No, no garters. You’ll understand why when you see the dress--” She stops, her expression panicked. She glances towards the garment bag hanging next to the bed. “You didn’t look at my dress, did you?”
I’m still distracted by Kate’s disheveled hair. I imagine running my hands through its soft waves, then wrapping it around my fingers for a tug while I’m buried deep inside her.
That’s why my voice sounds less than convincing when I answer, “No, I didn’t look.”
Kate points her finger at me, like a teacher reprimanding a student. “Tell the truth, Drew.”
“What am I? Ten years old?”
“Emotionally? Sometimes. But that’s beside the point. Did you peek at my dress?”

The writing, the characters, the witty dialogue………….is just to die for!!!!

Though he’s got a point about the rock star thing. It’s a powerful force. Guys who look like Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler wouldn’t have a shot in hell at getting laid without it, and they’ve spent decades shoulder deep in pussy.

“Aunt Amelia, let go! I’m a musician, I need my ear!”
“Stop your whining! Beethoven was deaf and he did just fine.”

I can’t get enough of this guy!!!!!!!!!

Please some more Drew!!!!!!!!! This was not enough!!!!

Review: 2 Hot 2 Handle by Kelly Jamieson

2 Hot 2 Handle by Kelly Jamieson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am a fan of Kelly Jamieson since I read Rule of Three & Rhythm of Three, so I was eager to read more of her books.

So grabbed 2 Hot to Handle……and I have to admit I was somewhat disappointed.
I just couldn’t get into the story or connect with the characters.

I enjoy ménage stories but I have to feel the emotional connection between the three characters and here I just never felt that.

Abby, the female character just “pissed” me off!!! Someone who has done everything possible sex wise, doesn’t want any commitment with anyone – she’s afraid to turn out like her slutty mother….

but ooooh…shame….she wants to be wanted and needed!!!!!! She’s not a slut!!!

Because all this time, she’s just been the “hanger-on”. And what she wants is to be loved for herself!!!!

And what happens when she has these two men who want to commit to her??? Not only is the one a hot and sexy photographer and the other a gorgeous and …yes…intelligent model who is also a doctor….no kidding you…..yes, the two guys are in a relationship but they want to include Abby – never got the reason why – maybe she’s some kind of awesomeness………but wait, I’m getting away from the plot…..
So, okay, these two gorgeousnesses love her, love her body and want her to join them in their lives……….wow….finally…Abby can be loved!!!!

And yes, she gets out of bed, after the most hot and mind-blowing night of sex with these two men, and she’s out of there…..bolts and goes crying to her best friend….who she’s had a threesome with before…asking for advice!!!!

I just wanted to tell the two guys to do it with each other and forget “painful” Abby!!!!!!!! For the life of me I could not get it….what did they want to include Abby in their lives??????

But then, I could not say exactly that I connected with Jett & Eric either. Was it because this was a short story? I don’t know….but whatever…..I could not care what happened to any of them. Who cares!!!!!

So, if you want a plot and great characters…this is not for you. But if you want some smutty and sex filled scenes….then go for it!!!! It’s a quick read anyway!!!

And the only reason for 3 stars???? I do enjoy the author’s writing style!!!!!!!

Kiss of Crimson by Lara Adrian
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am reading this series again...and enjoying it as much as the first time.

The 2nd book in the Midnight Breed Series and we get Dante's story.

I really like the world that the author has built..the idea of a race that arrived in this planet thousands of years ago and becoming vampires.

Dante & Tess are likeable characters and I enjoyed reading their story.

Also looking forward to the stories of the characters that have been introduced.

Review: The Breed Next Door by Lora Leigh

The Breed Next Door by Lora Leigh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Another short story that’s basically the same as the other books – we know that a breed will mate with a human; they go through the mating frenzy, etc etc etc. A bit of a plot…..you can get it from the book blurb because you basically get the whole thing there…this is s short story after all!!

I quite like Tarek Jordan although he was a bit over-powering…but then that’s what happens when these super breed males finally meet their mate. I did feel for the torture he went through when held captive.

Now, Lyra, his next door neighbor – hum…spunky…well…virgin…….not that one would ever guess the way she gets into Tarek….okay, they have been neighbors for six months so I can’t exactly call her a slut!!!! I thought her a bit shallow at times. But hell, she makes Tarek happy, so who am I to even hold that against her!!! Thank heavens she eventually gave the poor man some of her fresh home baked bread and her “real” coffee…but it took her a while to do this act of kindness!!!!

Again, lots and lots of sex scenes which I am skipping some of them…
Can’t wait for the next full length book!!!

Review: Wolf's Hope by Lora Leigh

Wolfe's Hope by Lora Leigh
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

What a disappointment!!! I was so looking forward to Hope and Wolf’s story but all I read was more explicit mating frenzies….with a lot of same from previous books

and a lot of

and lots of

…

wow, everything about Hope did it for Wolf,

even though he wanted to kill her…why???? Because she betrayed him but not really…she just had an evil Mom who just happened to be a WICKED SCIENTIST!!!!

Okay, I really enjoy erotic romance but after reading pages and pages of explicit sex (which I like as well) and not much of a plot, I’m like……

Perhaps if this had been a longer book – this was a novella of about 57 pages – I might have engaged with the two mc’s…..
In my opinion, if I had not read this, I would not have missed much of the series.
