Hannah Harrington - Saving June

Title : Saving June
Release date : November 22nd, 2011 (first publication May 1st, 2011)
Publisher : Harlequin Teen
Genre : Young Adult

Harper Scott’s older sister June takes her own life a week before high school graduation. Harper is devastated when she hears about the decision her divorced parents made about June’s ashes. They want to split it up, so when Harper discover June’s dream of California she decides to steal the ashes and drive to California with her best friend Laney to scatter her sister’s ashes across the ocean.

Bad boy and classic rock music lover Jake Tolan knew June a little and he insists on joining the two friends and accompanies them on their journey.

Saving June by Hannah Harrington is a fabulous debut novel. It’s well written, the storyline and emotions are so real, it really blown me away.

Harper is a strong young woman, who just lost her older sister June but cannot figure out why her sister took her own life. June was everything Harper is not; beautiful, lots of friends, a good student and a great daughter. So everyone is devastated and in shock about her suicide.

Laney is Harper’s best friend and her only support during these hard times. She is there for Harper no matter what mood she is in or what she says. I believe that is what friendship is all about.

Then we have Jake, the bad boy with attitude. He is totally obsessed with music and even plays the guitar. June was his tutor and helped him so he could graduate. Harper is determined to find out if Jake knows more about the reason why June took her own life.

I love the slowly growing romance between Jake and Harper, it’s really in the first stage and it’s great to see Harper’s struggle to discover first love. Another great element in the book is the love for music and not the rap/dance music, but the music from the 60’s and 70’s…love it.

I have to compliment Hannah Harrington with this fabulous debut novel, the way she captured the struggle, pain and other emotions the main characters went through; it felt so real. This is definitely one of those books you have to read, especially when you love young adult novels.

Maya Banks & Shayla Black - Four Play

Title : Four Play
Release date : October 5th, 2010
Publisher : Berkley
Genre : Contemporary Erotica Romance

Pillow Talk by Maya Banks
Chase and Zoe are a couple that know each other through and through and they tell each other their secret sexual fantasies. So when Chase’s birthday is coming up, Zoe wants to give him one of this fantasies, but she needs help and turns to their two housemates and friend Brody and Tate. Being the man he is Chase wants to fulfil one of Zoe’s fantasies too and Brody and Tate are just the right men to get involve.

Neither Chase nor Zoe could have imagined the outcome when they started these fantasies, it seems Brody and Tate both feels more then friendship for Zoe. Will this destroy their friendship or Chase relationship with Zoe?

Pillow Talk by Maya Banks was hot, I’ve read some of her books before so I knew what to expect, but damn she wrote one hell of an erotica story. She created a realistic storyline, where the reader will be drawn into the moment they start.

Chase and Zoe are a great couple; they love each other so much that they want to try to fulfil some of their fantasies. But it requires more men, so they invite their two best friends into their sexual fantasies.

I can relate to fulfilling your fantasies, but when you want to make it a permanent one at the end, that is the thing I have a little trouble with. This sexual relationship between three men and one woman can cause jealousy and I wonder if that is worth putting you relationship on the line with your boyfriend. I do love the story and found it very entertaining.

Her Fantasy Men by Shayla Black
Kelsey has three men in her life and she loves them all, her best friend Tucker, her neighbour Rhys and her boss Jeremy. She would love to have a relationship, but because she cannot choose between them, she keeps her love a secret and act normal around them. But when she gives in and spend one night with Rhys, the other two aren’t far behind.

Neither of the men are willing to step down and let Kelsey be happy with one of them, so she has to make a decision they all are happy with, but it won’t be without any struggles.

Her Fantasy Men by Shayla Black was one hell of an erotica story. I found myself drawn into their emotions and decisions from the start.

Tucker, Jeremy and Rhys are three different men and for some reason I can understand Kelsey’s attractions towards them, but as individuals not all three together.

Almost from the beginning I found myself drawn to Tucker and really wanted Kelsey to choose one of them and of course my heart was cheering for Tucker. But we all know that authors has a mind of their own and we cannot have a say in this, so she created a situation that all four of the character would be happy with.

I really enjoyed reading this and at the end I found myself at peace with the choice Kelsey made, even though I would have done something different.

Marie Kenward - Dark Promises

Title : Dark Promises
Series : MacCumail Bloodlines #1
Release date : June 3rd, 2010
Publisher : The Wild Rose Press
Genre : Paranormal Romance

Alexi Dugas has been a vampire for more than three hundred years. His turning was not something he chose, but it has helped him to get his vengeance for the death of his wife and daughter. For more than two centuries, he fought side by side with his sire Rafael, and did a lot of things he isn’t proud off. He escaped his sire and has built a life for himself; he seeks the acceptance of the MacCumail Clan, but his request has been denied again because of his past.

Sarah Hennessy is attacked by two huge men and is rescued by this mysterious man, Alexi Dugas. For some reason he’s familiar to her, but she cannot figure out why. In order to stay alive she has to go with him and trust that he can keep her safe. During her stay in his home, she slowly remembers her life with him, but Sarah cannot figure out if they are dreams of true memories.

Alexi’s sire, Rafael, wants the disk with the encryption of a formula that will allow vampires to be in daylight without dying and it appears Sarah has it somewhere in her possession. Can Alexi keep Sarah safe and away from his sire? Will Sarah completely remember their life together from so many centuries ago?

Dark Promises by Marie Kenward is the first novel in the MacCumail Bloodlines Series and a fabulous novel. This novel really demanded my attention all the way through-this is just one of those stories you cannot put down and I had to read in one sitting !

Alexi Dugas is a hard man, living his life as well as he can. The more you read about his past and what he went through while living with his sire, you totally understand the man he is now. He had to make a lot of sacrifices in his life and it broke my heart to see his struggle to stay on the good side. Alexi believes he is the monster everyone assumes he is, but nothing is as it seems.

Sarah is a strong woman and very determined to go after what she wants. When she slowly remembers their shared life together, she’ll do anything to convince Alexi he is still that man. She faces all the danger Alexi’s world shows her and fights her way through it as best as a human female can do.

The bond between the MacCumail brothers is great and the betrayal of Rafael to his own sire is great; it really makes me curious to see how this will continue, because one thing is sure…it’s not over yet.

Marie Kenward has written one hell of a novel and I recommend this book to the entire vampire lovers out there, you won’t be disappointed.

Karen Chance - Hunt the Moon

Title : Hunt the Moon
Series : Cassandra Palmer #5
Release date : June 7th, 2011
Publisher : Signet Select
Genre : Paranormal Romance

Cassie Palmer is under constant guard, Mircea isn’t around so he put Marco in charge to keep Cassie safe till her coronation as Pythia. Cassie isn’t happy about it, but her self defence training Pritkin keeps her busy. But all that training couldn’t stop this mysterious force who attacks Cassie when she most vulnerable and when nobody expects it.

But that is not all; Cassie discovers more about her mother when she travels back in time with Mircea to stop her enemies. It appears they after her mother now and when they succeed she won’t be alive in the present. So the more things Cassie learns about her mother and the more the enemies attack, it only makes her more determined to succeed as Pythia.

Hunt the Moon by Karen Chance is the fifth novel in her Cassandra Palmer Series and is definitely one of the best in the series. Although it has been two years till this new Cassie novel came out, it only took me a minute to suck right into the story…I loved it.

Cassie and Mircea are still having the same relationship, he is dominant as hell and she fights him all the way, but the outcome is the same; they love each other. Pritkin is still the one who trains her to become the new Pythia and the triangle between the three of them is still there. I have to be honest now, I’m not sure anymore who will be the right man for Cassie. From the first book Mircea was my favourite and I was happy to see that she chooses him, but the further in the series I’m wondering if these feelings for her are sincere or that it still has something to do with him claiming her as a young girl. Okay the claim is gone and she has a free will now, but he still tries to keep her on a short leash.

But Pritkin is stealing my heart more and more in this series, he is one hell of a wizard and I really believe his growing feelings for Cassie are meant to be. We all seen the huge attraction between them and I would love to see that grow into something more.

Another character I loved in the last two books is Cassie’s bodyguard Marco. He works fro Mircea and is trying real hard to keep her out of trouble, but Cassie wouldn’t be Cassie if trouble won’t follow her anywhere. I also believe he really likes her and would protect her even if Mircea didn’t order him.

The only downside of this book is the huge cliff-hanger at the end, damn what a cruel way to keep us readers hanging like that, till the next novel comes out. Hopefully we won’t have to wait another two years to see what happens next.

Jo Davis - I Spy a Wicked Sin

Title : I Spy a Wicked Sin
Series : Shado Agency #1
Release date : February 2nd, 2010
Publisher : NAL Trade
Genre : Contemporary Erotica Romance

Lily Vale is an assassin who works for Shado, a covert homeland security agency. She was send on a mission to take down evil assassin Jude St. Laurent, who uses to work for the Shado Agency too. Lily is eager to succeed because she believes Jude is responsible of a lot of innocent lives, including her father. But what Lily doesn’t know is that her boss Robert Dietz has kept Jude alive for his own personal game and she is in the middle of it.

Jude St. Laurent was in a car accident which made him completely blind and he has some memory loss every since. He is still suffering from major headaches and depressions, but he put all his energy in his erotic paintings and models. His best friend and chef Liam O’Neill has been helping him to get his life back together, but then his new personal assistant Lily steps into his life. He knows from the moment she steps into his life and caught him in the act with one of his models and doesn’t turn away, that he wants to keep her.

I Spy a Wicked Sin by Jo Davis is the first novel in her Shado Agency Series and I have to say that I’m not really sure what to think of it.

I have to be honest that the romance between Jude and Lily wasn’t something I could believe, yes there was huge sexual attraction and their sex scenes were hot and steamy but the growing love…no I didn’t feel that.

Jude is definitely an alpha and wants everything to go his way and he won’t take no for an answer. Lily is a deadly assassin but the moment she sees Jude and his sexual escapades she turns into this weak woman and doesn’t know what to do anymore….love him or kill him as she’s suppose to do.

Liam O’Neill was the only character in this novel that I truly love and believed he is funny, loyal and one hell of stud. I wouldn’t mind reading more about him and his sexual escapades.

I’m a huge fan of Jo Davis’s Fire Fighters of Station Five Series with strong characters and great storylines. But I really believe that this book was the most weakest of them all, it seems to me that it was more a novel with a lot of sex scenes then a romance. I won’t put her on my “don’t buy” list just yet and I will give her next novel in this series I Spy a Naughty Game a change and hope it will be better.

Nalini Singh - Lord of the Abyss

Title : Lord of the Abyss
Series : Royal House of the Shadows #4
Release date : November 15th, 2011
Publisher : Harlequin
Genre : Paranormal Romance

The story begins when a Blood sorcerer kills the king and queen of Magical Elden and has plans to kill their four children next in order to get the throne. But never underestimate the love and strength of parents, their mother had enough strength in her to combine her power and send them away to survive and deal with their enemy later.

Micah is the youngest of the four children and he was taken and separate from his family at the age of five. Micah grew up in the Abyss and as a grown man he is the Lord of the Abyss with a black armor on his entire body, so he can escorts cruel souls to their rightful place when they after their death. Then one day this little woman appears out of nowhere in his black castle, who isn’t afraid of him and it seems she stirs some feelings inside him he don’t understand.

Liliana is the Blood sorcerer’s daughter and she travels to Micah’s castle to help him remember who he really is, so he can return to Elden and reclaim the Kingdom that belong to him and his siblings. She needs to find a way to succeed or Elden will be lost forever and her father will win and destroy every magical being along the way. She knows it will endanger her own life, but that is the price she is willing to pay.

Lord of the Abyss by Nalini Singh is the last novel in the Royal House of Shadows series, which she co-writes with Gena Showalter, Jill Monroe and Jessica Andersen. I have to say that I really enjoy reading this whole series and I loved the fact that they used some of the fairy tales into them.

Nalini Singh created a fabulous world where Micah rules his Abyss. He doesn’t remember anything from his past and his is feared by many around the Abyss, but Micah has a heart of gold. He has taken in some creatures Jissa, Bard and little mouse and let them live and work for him in the black Castle.

Micah and Liliana are both strong characters; Micah came to the Abyss when he was only 5 years old, he was too young to rule the Abyss, so he slept most of his life. But when he was old and strong enough to rule, he transform into this fearful man everyone walks away from.
Liliana has been humiliated and tortured by her own father and grew up into a strong blood sorceress that will do anything to stop her father and save innocent lives.

What I really love about them was that they both were so innocence; they had to learn everything about love and feelings from the start. It was great to read how they experience things and find a way to let love fill their hearts and let it conquered all the evil in their lives.

But there was one thing I was a little disappointed with; when Micah finally remembered everything from his past, his siblings, what happened with his parent and finally faces his enemy, there wasn’t much of a battle. I really expected the dangerous blood sorcerer and Micah fighting each other on a higher level then we saw in the book. It was over in a blink of an eye.

Also the reunion between Micah, Nicolai, Breena and Dayn was not what I expected. They haven’t seen each other for more than twenty years and there was no real celebration, not any conversation between the siblings, no nothing.

I loved the book and the story between Micah and Liliana, but the reunion between the siblings and the battle with the blood sorcerer could have been more interesting for us readers. Because this was something we all have been looking forward to, during all the books.

The Royal House of Shadows series is definitely a great series, which you have to read if you love strong characters, magic and fairytales.

Thanks Netgalley for providing me with this ARC eBook.

Pamela Palmer - Ecstasy Untamed

Title : Ecstasy Untamed
Series : Feral Warriors #6
Release date : October 25th, 2011
Publisher : Avon Publisher
Genre : Paranormal Romance / Urban Fantasy

Feral warrior Hawke has been trapped in the spirit trap for some time, now he is free but not out of danger. It has messed up his bond with his animal spirit and they both are fighting to be in control. He knows it’s only a matter of time before he loose it and his animal will set itself free. Then he meets the beautiful Faith, it appears man and animal both want her, but unfortunately she is the future mate of the newest Feral warrior.

Faith is a Therian and her life has always been to save as many souls of the streets and send them on the right path. One night she meets Maxim and feels a connection between them. When he tells her of his plan to join the Feral warriors she decides to join him on this trip and see if he is really her mate. When she meets the Feral warriors and especially Hawke, she feels right at home, but is Maxim her true mate or could it be Hawke>

Ecstasy Untamed by Pamela Palmer is the sixth novel in the Feral Warrior Series and another terrific edition in this series. The world the Feral Warriors are fighting in is getting darker by the book. This novel doesn’t have a lot of action or battles like in the previous books, but Hawke’s struggle with his animal and his growing relationship with Faith is fabulous.

Early in the book you see Hawke’s struggle with his animal and it’s getting worse, he realize that he might loose the battle soon. When Faith step into his life he feels the attraction, but he has to stay away from her. But Hawke wouldn’t be Hawke, as he slowly discovers that Maxim isn’t who he says he is.

I didn’t mind that this novel had less action in it, because it was intense to see Hawke struggle to get his life back together. He is a fabulous character and I really believe that Faith is the right mate for him.

Some of the scenes between Maxim and Faith really got my hands itching, because that man was a total bastard. I knew from the start he couldn’t be the newest Feral warriors, unlike Jag and his attitude, this man had some darkness inside him. I loved the scenes where leader Lyon put that weasel in his place and showed him who was stronger and bigger.

The ending was good, but also a little frustrated with this cliff-hanger. So I’m looking forward to the next novel and really hope that will be soon. I need to know what happens next and who will be the warrior to find his mate. Will it be Wulfe, Vhyper or the newest Fox?

Pamela Palmer - Hunger Untamed

Title : Hunger Untamed
Series : Feral Warriors #5
Release date : February 22nd, 2011
Publisher : Avon Publisher
Genre : Paranormal Romance / Urban Fantasy

Feral Warriors Tighe and Hawke are caught in the spirit trap and cannot find a way out of there by their own. Fellow warrior Kougar might know who can free his two friends, but it is the last person on Earth he wants to see, his mate the woman who betrayed their love centuries ago. But he will go to Ariana and convince her to help him and his Feral Warriors.

Ariana, Queen of the Linas still has feelings for Kougar, but cannot share this with him; she has to le him believe she’s the cold heart woman who betrayed him. If not, she will endanger her entire race and send them to death. When Lyon, the chief of the Feral Warriors promises her to help with that danger in exchange for the freedom of his two warriors, she cannot refuse.

Hunger Untamed by Pamela Palmer is the fifth novel in the Feral Warriors Series and again a fabulous novel. This is one of the series where the books remain on the same level and hold the readers attention all the way through.

Kougar is one of the oldest Feral Warriors and used to be the chief of the warriors. But when his mate Ariana was lost to him, he put that position down and Lyon took over. Kougar moved on with his life and thought his mate was dead, but about twenty years ago he felt his mating bond come to live again. So when his fellow warriors got lost in that trap, he knew his mate was the right person to find them.

Ariana is the head of the Linas and had to break the mating bond in order to save her race from dying. But she never let Kougar out of her heart, so when he comes and ask for help she struggles with what to do….follow her hear and do the right thing and save those warriors or take her responsibilities and choose her race once again.

What I really love about this series is the brotherhood of the warriors and their mates. No matter what happens of what danger they are in, they won’t stop and do anything in their power to help out.

One by one the nine warriors are finding their destiny and the woman to share that with. Five warriors already found their mates, so only four more to go and I can tell you that I’m looking forward to that. There is a lot more to tell in this journey than we already saw.

Blood Debt by Jeanne C. Stein
Anna Strong has been asked by her three witch’s friends to find an abducted family member. It appears he has been captured in order to lure her into another realm, where Anna has to plead for her freedom. She has been charge for the death of her enemy.

Hexed Anthology is a novel with four amazing authors, Ilona Andrews, Yasmine Galenorn, Allyson James and Jeanne C. Stein. They all wrote a fabulous short story in their series and I loved them all.

The only series that I haven’t caught up with is the Sisters of the Moon by Galenorn. Those books are on my TBR pile for ages, but after reading this edition in the series I need to continue.

I loved Dali and Jim in Magic Dreams; those two are a perfect couple. I really hope to see more of them in the future Kate Daniels novels.

The chemistry between Janet and Mick in Double Hexed is still huge and strong. I don’t think anyone can ever break their bond. I’m already looking forward to the next novel in this series.

Anna Strong is a fabulous character and she was great in this short story too. The only thing I hope is that she finally finds her mate in the upcoming novels. She deserves her true love after the ones she had in the past.

Pamela Palmer - Rapture Untamed

Title : Rapture Untamed
Series : Feral Warriors #4
Release date : June 29th, 2010
Publisher : Avon Publisher
Genre : Paranormal Romance

Olivia was the only survivor of an attack from the draden when she was young. It appears she’s now draden kissed, which means she now possess the deadly ability to drain the dradens but also humans and other creatures. She knows she must keep this hidden from her own people, but especially from the Feral Warriors. Now she is a member of the Therian Guard for more than three hundred years and has been send to aid the Feral Warriors in their battle against Satanan and his army.

Jag is one of the Feral Warriors and is known as the pain the butt warrior. He doesn’t really care what the other warriors think of him and it toying them in every way. So when the first time he meets Olivia, he treats her the same way he treats all the women around him, but Olivia fights back. No matter what, Jag knows he wants her and will do anything to have her, if she likes it or no. So when fate put them together on this assignment, he has her right where he wants her.

Rapture Untamed by Pamela Palmer is the fourth novel in her Feral Warriors Series and my all time favourite. I loved Jag from the first book and couldn’t wait to read his own story. I knew there was a reason for his behaviour and that the right woman would turn him around.

The moment Jag and Olivia meet in the Feral Warrior’s compound, he makes it very clear that he wants her and will do anything to make that happen. Even though Olivia is attracted to Jag, she knows she has to keep her distance in order to save herself. When Jag discovers Olivia’s secret he use that against her at first, but in the end it is Jag who defends her and save her from the danger she is in.

I love Jag; he is the bad guy in the group but has his heart in the right place. When some outsider offends housekeeper Pink, he is the one who stands up for her. Something you won’t expect from him when you read this novel.

I also loved that even the books are more the story between the heroine and hero, you’ll see all the warriors working together to fight the evil in the world. Even though Jag is my favourite shifter, it’s great to see the others grow into the role they need to play in this battle.

This book is well written and had me from the first page and I couldn’t let it go, so I finished it in one afternoon. To me this is definitely the best in the series so far.

Wendy Huchison - Love for a Vampire

Title : Love for a vampire
Release date : September 15th, 2011
Genre : Paranormal romance

Angel-May Black has been locked in a room for 16 years, a prisoner of her own father. He isn’t a loving person and beats her on a regular basis for as long as she can remember. The only thing she can do is to wait till death claims her. But fate has something else in mind for Angel. She has to hold on till the day she turns eighteen, then she will be rescued by a vampire and a shape-shifter who are hired by her grandmother she never knew she had.

But even then her life isn’t save, when everyone around her has an own agenda. Are they really helpful or do they mean her harm too?

Love for a Vampire by Wendy Huchison is the first novel in a trilogy and I have to say it’s well written. When I read the book description, I was interested and very curious to see what this book was all about. The first few chapters are heavy stuff and I did have some doubts about reading further, but I’m glad I did.

Angels is very young when her mother dies and since that moment she is the prisoner of her violent father. She lives between four walls for as long as she can remember. The only thing bearable for her is her “dreams” of where she meets a young handsome man and sometimes a familiar woman. Are they glimpses from her future or are they just dreams?

My hands itched when I read the scenes of the abuse. How can a father treat his daughter that way, beat her up till she bleeds? No, I didn’t feel any love for that man.

Angel’s connection with her rescuer Zared is huge, although he cannot understand why. He is hired to save her from her father and make sure she arrives safely at her grandmothers, but her soul is calling to him. Angel knows her future depends on him, so she has to convince him to keep her close.

Angel and Zared are fabulous characters and you’re going to love them when you’re further in the book. Their journey isn’t without danger and their growing relationship will be tested every step of the way.

I’m dying to see more of them in the future novels. I know there is more between Angel and Zared then we already seen in this book. Then who or what is Madoc? I hope to find that out in the next novel too.

I’m definitely going to look out for her next novel, hopefully that won’t take too long.

Christine Cody - Bloodlands

Title : Bloodlands
Series : Bloodlands #1
Release date : July 26th, 2011
Publisher : Ace
Genre : Urban Fantasy

Gabriel is a vampire and has been looking for his lost love Abby. The trail leads him to a small community in the Badlands. He knows that he has to keep his vampire nature hidden from them in order to keep himself save. He is hunted by a group, who hunts everything supernatural and he cannot endanger his newfound friends.

Mariah is the woman who takes him in after he’s attacked by Stamp, the local bad guy. She knows it will be bad to let this stranger into her home and their small community. Especially after what happened to her family, but her dog seems to trust him completely. Now let’s hope that this stranger will be on this way before he discovers her secret.

Bloodlands by Christine Cody is the first novel in her Bloodlands Trilogy and I have to say that the storyline was interesting. The world building was fabulous and the characters intriguing. I never expected the twist in this book.

Badlands is an area where dark creatures and human who are different find their hiding place and where everyone is accepted. The heat is unbearable during the day, so you can only come out at night or with a special uniform.

Gabriel and Mariah are both strong characters and both has something to hide. Mariah seems to discover Gabriel being a vampire soon enough, but holds this a secret from the rest of the group. She needs him around, because his ability to calm her is very good to smooth the best growing inside her. But will Gabriel be able to forgive her when he learns the truth about Mariah heritage and what happened to Abby.

To make matters worse someone or something has been killing some of the hunters, Stamp’s men and he is determined to get the killer. All eyes are on Gabriel, but the outcome is more surprising.

This novel is really surprise me, it’s well written and has some darkness in it. I was really surprise to discover some of the outcome and now I’m curious to see what will happen next. The end was good and a little sad, but it could go any way.

Best Erotic Romance Anthology is a great novel full with great short erotica stories, they all have been well written. They all are hot and steamy, just the way I like it when I read erotica.

I have to say those authors done an amazing job with these very short stories, some of them had me right from the first paragraph. I cannot tell you that I like one story better than the other, because they all had their own charms.

Now I know why I enjoy reading anthologies, those short stories are easy to read and very entertaining. So if you are looking for some small hot sexual stories, then this is definitely the book for you.
