Review: Nightshade and Bloodlust by Michelle Rowen

Jil­lian Con­rad never believed in vampires-until she was unwill­ingly injected with a serum that was sup­posed to act as a deadly poi­son to them. Now, tor­mented half-vampire Declan Reese wants her blood to destroy the undead king­dom. Unfor­tu­nately, the serum has also made her blood irre­sistible to all vampires-including Declan, whose desire for Jil­lian is more than mere hunger.

Jil­lian Conrad's blood has killed the vam­pire king. Now an enemy to all vam­pires, she is tar­geted for elim­i­na­tion. So is the infant daugh­ter of the dead king. If Jil­lian doesn't stand in the way of her death, then every­one, liv­ing or dead, is in great peril. Con­tinue read­ing

Review: Under A Vampire Moon by Lynsay Sands

Chris­t­ian Notte's story, the six­teenth book in the Arge­neau series is set on an island par­adise called St. Lucia.

After a bad rela­tion­ship and an even worse divorce, Car­olyn decides to go on a long over­due and much needed vaca­tion with the 'girls'. Only the rest of the vaca­tion­ers didn't get the memo. Around every cor­ner there seems to be another cou­ple cel­e­brat­ing their hon­ey­moon or anniver­sary and the few sin­gle men she does see are far too young to even con­sider, includ­ing an irre­sistibly attrac­tive rock vio­lin­ist she meets.

It's really too bad he's so young but in the end it doesn't mat­ter because accord­ing to his cousin, Giac­inta, women in gen­eral aren't Christian's type. But there's a catch, Chris­t­ian needs Carolyn's help. He needs her to be his beard (to play the part of his fake girl­friend) for the week to appease his 'machismo' fam­ily. Car­olyn just can't seem to say No and decides to help Gia's cousin. The only prob­lem is that being around Chris­t­ian and act­ing like they are a lov­ing cou­ple is wreak­ing havoc on her emo­tions. Carolyn's thoughts keep drift­ing back to places they shouldn't, like kiss­ing his full lips or feel­ing his broad shoul­ders under her fin­ger­tips... good lord, she's in trou­ble.

Review: Kiss of Pride by Sandra Hill

SOME MEN ARE TOO BAD TO BE TRUE...

Is he really a Viking with a vampire’s bit? An angel with the body of a thun­der god? A lone wolf with love on his mind? Alexan­dra Kelly, his prey, thinks Vikar Sig­urds­son is either flat-out crazy or he’s try­ing to maneu­ver her into his bed–which is hardly where a pro­fes­sional reporter should con­duct an inter­view, tempt­ing as that prospect might be.

SOME MEN ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...

Until Vikar does some­thing a teensy bit unex­pected, and Alex begins to won­der whether her mys­tery man could really be every­thing he says he is: a Viking Vam­pire Angel on a thousand-year-long mis­sion with his pack of sin­ful brothers—and a man who’s finally found the woman of his dreams. By then, Vikar is already wrap­ping his chis­eled arms around Alex’s body...and sink­ing his wicked fangs right into her neck. If this is sin, why does it feel so good? Con­tinue read­ing

Review: Little Red and the Wolf by Alison Paige

Maizie Hood strug­gles to keep her bak­ery turn­ing a profit, her land­lord from evict­ing her, and her dear Granny in a nurs­ing facil­ity. Wrestling with the deci­sion to sell Gran’s cot­tage is hard enough. The last thing she needs is her child­hood big-bad-wolf night­mares turn­ing into real-life adult fan­tasies. Sexy busi­ness­man Gray Lupo’s sud­den inter­est just makes mat­ters worse. Is he the answer to her prob­lems, or just a wolf in gentleman’s Armani?

Since his wife was killed twenty-one years ago, Gray’s life has been focused on two things: pro­tect­ing the pack and avoid­ing the grown daugh­ter of his wife’s killers. When it becomes clear he can’t do one with­out com­pro­mis­ing the other, Gray finds play­ing “big bad wolf” to Maizie Hood’s “Lit­tle Red” is a role he enjoys far more than he expected.

A real bad wolf’s attack on Maizie changes every­thing. Gray can’t deny the pull she has on his instincts—and his heart. Sud­denly he finds him­self tak­ing on a role he never thought he’d want, as her pro­tec­tor and mate. Until the truth about his con­nec­tion to her night­mar­ish past comes to light… Con­tinue read­ing

Review: Lothaire by Kresley Cole

ALL FEAR THE ENEMY OF OLD

Dri­ven by his insa­tiable need for revenge, Lothaire, the Lore’s most ruth­less vam­pire, plots to seize the Horde’s crown. But blood­lust and tor­ture have left him on the brink of madness—until he finds Eliz­a­beth Peirce, the key to his vic­tory. He cap­tures the unique young mor­tal, intend­ing to offer up her very soul in exchange for power, yet Eliz­a­beth soothes his tor­mented mind and awak­ens within him emo­tions Lothaire believed he could no longer experience.

A DEADLY FORCE DWELLS WITHIN HER

Grow­ing up in des­per­ate poverty, Ellie Peirce yearned for a bet­ter life, never imag­in­ing she’d be con­victed of murder—or that an evil immor­tal would abduct her from death row. But Lothaire is no sav­ior, as he him­self plans to sac­ri­fice Ellie in one month’s time. And yet the vam­pire seems to ache for her touch, show­er­ing her with wealth and sex­ual plea­sure. In a bid to save her soul, Ellie sur­ren­ders her body to the wicked vam­pire, while vow­ing to pro­tect her heart.

CENTURIES OF COLD INDIFFERENCE SHATTERED

Eliz­a­beth tempts Lothaire beyond rea­son, as only his fated mate could. As the month draws to a close, he must choose between a millennia-old blood vendetta and his irre­sistible pris­oner. Will Lothaire suc­cumb to the mis­eries of his past . . . or risk every­thing for a future with her? Con­tinue read­ing

Review: Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward

Payne, twin sis­ter of Vishous, is cut from the same dark, war­rior cloth as her brother: A fighter by nature, and a mav­er­ick when it comes to the tra­di­tional role of Cho­sen females, there is no place for her on the Far Side… and no role for her on the front lines of the war, either.

When she suf­fers a par­a­lyz­ing injury, human sur­geon Dr. Manuel Manello is called in to treat her as only he can– and he soon gets sucked into her dan­ger­ous, secret world. Although he never before believed in things that go bump in the night– like vam­pires– he finds him­self more than will­ing to be seduced by the pow­er­ful female who marks both his body and his soul.

As the two find so much more than an erotic con­nec­tion, the human and vam­pire worlds col­lide … just as a cen­turies old score catches up with Payne and puts both her love and her life in deadly jeop­ardy.. Con­tinue read­ing
