The Books I'm Thankful For (so far) in 2013

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

In tradition (well mine at least) of today being Thanksgiving Day, here is a list of ALL the books I've read thus far this year (and have given my highest ratings to), which means I'm Thankful VERY for finding/reading them!! So, here you go (listed in the order of when I read them this year):
  1. "Every Night Forever" [Hyena Heat Series, Book 1] by R. E. Butler: 5 out of 5 stars! In this novel, you'll find that Dante, Cairo, and Mason (originally from "The Wolf’s Mate Book 4: Michael & Shyne") aren't "bad guys," they are just misunderstood. I loved the compelling plot, the relationships that are between the brothers and the relationships that they grow between themselves and Alyssa! It's a very sweet novel; about three guys proving themselves to a woman who deserves their love. [Read more of Jess' Review and 3 Teasers for this book HERE]
  2. "Hooked" [Hooked Series, Book 1] by Liz Fichera: 5 out of 5 stars!! This novel HOOKED me from the very beginning!! I loved the characters!! Plus, I thoroughly enjoyed the back-and-forth POV chapters, like it is in Ms. Barnholdt's "Two-way Street," Ms. Crane's "Stupid and Contagious," & Ms. Elkeles' "Perfect Chemistry" especially since this novel seems to be a unique mix of all three of these books too!

    Ryan & Fred are great together! Their banter and their growing respect for each other make it so that no matter what really happens between them they can never fully dislike the other. Only two things I wish would have happened for me to enjoy this novel even more... [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  3. "How Beauty Saved the Beast" [Tales of the Underlight Series, Book 2] by Jax Garren (aka Jennifer Hinson): 5 out of 5 stars!! Now that "Beauty" has met the "Beast," it is time to save him! This is one vivacious novel that I did not want to put down! Jolie & Hauk are so similar it was like they were made for each other! I could not get enough of these two and their cast of colorful friends!

    Plus, if you were like me and ended up skipping (aka not reading) "How Beauty Met the Beast," book 1 in this series, than never fear! [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  4. "Sexting While Working" by Morgan Marek: 5 out of 5 stars! Two co-workers find out that they are each others secret sexting partner while in a boardroom conference together. This hot, steamy, and racy novella it one that keeps you entertained! It also helps that it has a great plot line, along with exciting characters!

    I highly recommend this novella to anyone looking for a quick erotic read that has the potential for romance! [Read more of Jess' Review and a Teaser for this book HERE]
  5. "Swept Away" [Trouble in Texas Series, Book 1] by Mary Connealy: 5 out of 5 stars!! This witty, funny, adventurous novel keeps you on your toes with it's no nonsense style group of men, who are as close as brothers, trying to bring law and order to a wayward town. I was very surprised with some of the twists that came up! Also--even though it never happened--am still waiting for one of Ruthy's "family" to show up from the dead just to cause even more trouble. =0)

    Luke's friends were wonderful characters! [Read more of Jess' Review and 3 Teasers for this book HERE]
  6. "Wildcat" [The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 9] by Cheryl Brooks (aka Samantha R. Michaels): 5 out of 5 stars!! This is the best novel of Ms. Brooks' Cat Star Chronicles thus far!! I could not get enough of Sara and Jerden!! Reading about their personal tragedies and how they worked together to get over their fears was heartwarming and very erotic. =0)

    Yet, the novel's plot flowed wonderfully from beginning to end. Very well written. Plus, I enjoyed getting updates on Tarq, Lucy, Jack, Cat, Bonnie, Lynx, Dax, Ava, and all of their families!! [Read more of Jess' Review and 3 Teasers for this book HERE]
  7. "The Boys of Summer" [Summer Series, Book 1] by C. J. Duggan: 5 out of 5 stars--a teenage girl grows up and comes into her own during the summer before her Year Twelve begins because of good friends, forbidden love, and a whole lot of fun late night activities!

    I fell in love with this novel, mostly because of how Tess blooms throughout it and because of her unique and growing relationship with Toby. They were so sweet together. Plus, I loved how she seemed to make him a better version of himself too.

    The Onslow Boys, especially Sean & Toby, along with Adam & Chris were a fun bunch to read about! [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  8. "Rush Me" by Allison Parr: 5 out of 5 stars!! Two supposed opposites meet unexpectedly and get into a relationship that neither of them are used to but both want desperately to keep! I could not get enough of Ryan & Rachael!! They were snarky, fun, and brought positive changes into each other’s lives while they fumbled through their feelings for each other.

    This intense novel keeps you on your toes with its romantic twists and laughing with its great cast of secondary characters! Rachael, at times, is so snarky and independent that I would think, "why is she doing that," but then I'd realize that I act the same way at times too which made me sympathize with her more then I expected too. [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  9. "A Night Like This" [The Smythe-Smith Quartet Series, Book 2] by Julia Quinn (aka JQ): 5 out of 5 stars! This is hilariously energetic novel keeps you on your toes while encouraging you to fall in love with its compelling cast of characters! I loved Daniel & Anne! Their story was one I did not completely expect yet it kept me riveted the whole way through. If only there was more! =0)

    And the secondary characters! Good god! They made this novel full of twists I never saw coming, and so very fun to read! [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  10. "How Beauty Loved the Beast" [Tales of the Underlight Series, Book 3] by Jax Garren (aka Jennifer Hinson): 5 out of 5 stars, two friends and "soul mates" fight the biggest battle of their lives in order to win each other's heart, as well as, to defeat their enemy. This was an epic ending to a delightfully fun series! I love how strong willed and determined Jolie throughout this novel! Also, I just could NOT get enough of Jolie & Hauk they are the perfect "Beauty & the Beast" couple!!

    It will be interesting to see how Ms. Garren will expand on this series once she switches to Book 4 making Brayden the hero and Ashley (oh, how I hope Ms. Garren makes her likeable somehow) the heroine. [Read more of Jess' Review and a Teaser for this book HERE]
  11. "Witch Bound" [Twilight of the Gods Series, Book 2] by Eleri Stone: 5 out of 5 stars!! This is a romance about a girl who is still coming into her own while being thrown into situation after situation she never expected to be in, especially when one of those situations happens to be falling for her groom's best man!

    I could not get enough of this story, mostly because of how Rocky and Fen's relationship comes together! Fen & Rocky have this instant attraction that neither (at first) wants to mess with--because of what it would do to Rocky's family, the groom/Fen's best friend, and Fen & Christian's clan--but as everything grows between them, once they start up a friendship, by the end of the book it's hard for them to stay apart no matter what their original plans were. =0) [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  12. "Playing Games" [Games Series, Book 2] by Jessica Clare (aka Jill Myles): 5 out of 5 stars!!!! This is one feisty, fun, adventurous, steamy, erotic, sweet novel that I didn't want to have end or put down! Liam and Katy are quite a pair! Both seem to be complete opposites but soon learn there is more to each of them then what they appear. In addition, they also find out that they are better suited as partners then who they were originally partnered too.

    Liam just has this way about him, that pierces Katy's heart in all of the right places!! [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  13. "Heavy Metal" [Goddesses Rising Series, Book 2] by Natalie J. Dramschroder: 5 out of 5 stars, this novel takes up where "Under the Moon" left off and throws you into a world of intrigue, suspicion, romance, passion, and a whole lot of suspense! I loved Riley as a character. She is smart, brave, courageous, and wise beyond her years. Then add Sam with her and I could not get enough of this novel or it's duo!

    In addition, if you are like me and haven't read the first novel in this series, DON'T WORRY because you don't need to have read it for you understand the plot or to like the characters!! [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  14. "Indelible" by Bethany Lopez: 5 out of 5 stars!! Love finds you in unexpected places and people. Judd and Sam have had to deal with hard circumstances in their lives that have made them grow up more then the typical college student would have had to put up with. Together these two made a great team, one hot couple, and a fun duo to read about! I loved this novel and I didn't want it to end, even though I was very happy with how it wrapped up!

    I recommend this novel to anyone who likes contemporary new adult romances! [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  15. "Battlescars" [Battlescars Series, Book 1] by Sophie Monroe: 5 out of 5 stars!! Charming, thrilling, and sarcastic the whole way through, this is one rock & roll fairy tale that is hard not to love! Aubrey and Jake are a perfect pair, from their humorous antics to Jake's self-deprecating ways to how they come to fight for each other as best they can. I loved their whirlwind romance; especially how Jake goes about trying to win Aubrey over it was all very gentlemanly.

    In addition, Jake's band mates were an entertaining bunch all on their own. [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  16. "Drive Me Crazy" [Holland Springs Series, Book 1] by Marquita Valentine: 5 out of 5 stars!! Follow this sweet and spicy romance between a girl who has been in love with her best friend's older brother for just about all of her life and see if it's truly unrequited love or not. It's hard not to get wrapped up in this love story; the main characters are just that captivating. Plus, the sex scenes were a fun and entertaining inclusions too.

    Carter & Melanie were one couple that I loved reading about and couldn't get enough of, so I hope they'll be secondary characters in the other books within this series. [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  17. "Desire By Blood" [By Blood Series, Book 1] by Melissa Schroeder (aka Kiera West): 5 out of 5 stars!! Thrust into a marriage neither ever expected, this couple finds ways to overcome their fears and follow their hearts when everything is put on the line...

    I loved this dynamic duo! Cordelia with her sass and Nico with his passion made me fly through this novel trying to read more, more, more about them!! This novel got me into vampire romances again! I especially loved that it was based in a historical setting because it gave you a whole new idea of that time period. [Read more of Jess' Review and 2 Teasers for this book HERE]
  18. "Beloved" [Where the Heart Lives Series, Book 3] by Robin Lee Hatcher: 5 out of 5 stars! This fast paced, heart wrenching, historical romance is one that I had a hard time putting down I liked it so much! All of the characters have so much dimension and emotional growth to them throughout this novel that it was hard not to like each of them in some way, well except for Brook of course. With the way this novel is laid out, I believe Diana and Tyson needed their time apart to grow and become the wonderful people they turned out to be, since when they both first got together they weren't a good match up because of how they both were hoping for different things. [Read more of Jess' Review and a Teaser for this book HERE]
  19. "Darkness Awakened" [Darkness Series, Book 1] by Katie Reus (aka Savannah Stuart): 5 out of 5 stars! This fast-paced, action-packed, paranormal romance is one that will hold your attention and wish you could keep on reading even past the ending!!

    Finn and Lyra are an unstoppable duo! They also, complete each other in a way that even though they've been separated for about seventeen years their relationship quickly picks up where they left off. It was fun to read about how Finn's pack would accept Lyra and how Lyra was able to hold her own against, almost, everything that came her way. [Read more of Jess' Review and a Teaser for this book HERE]
Goodness! I didn't realize that I LOVED so many novels/novellas (thus far) THIS YEAR!! It's far more then I typically love per year! I hope after reading my reviews and teasers you'll be interested in a few of them too.

It's an eclectic mix of paranormal, contemporary, erotic, Christian, and historical romances! =0)

Anyway ....

Best wishes to you and yours on this day! I hope every one of you will have a WONDERFUL, YUMMY, & HAPPY Thanksgiving! Please stop back on my blog this Saturday because starting that day (November 30th) until December 6th I'm putting together a couple of giveaway contests and hosting a few guest posts all surrounding Small Business Saturday/Week!!

Made the Grade: The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 7

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 581 KB | Release Date: June 2011 | Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca | Obtained: Amazon.com

"Virgin" [The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 7] by Cheryl Brooks

My Book Summary : Daxtronian (Dax) was two-years-old when his planet--Zetith--was destroyed, since then he's lived on a refugee ship until a few years ago, now he's the captain of an elaborate ship traveling the galaxy and taking passengers wherever they'd like to go. His navigator, Waroun, has nicknamed Dax the 'Great Virgin' because of how Dax is a virgin, which is so surprising to his species. Yet when Dax meets Ava, he is more than willing to quit his virgin status immediately. If only he could get her to agree, but he has no idea how to charm a woman let alone seduce one.

Nevertheless, just when everything looks to be working in Dax's favor when it comes to him claiming Ava's heart, a prophesy that holds Ava in the middle of it all has Dax scrambling to be able to keep them together forever, no matter what he has to do...

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! Find out who the perfect woman is to hook the Great Virgin...

Ever since I read book 8 in this series I was intrigued to find out about Dax, especially with his bad boy looks along with his virgin status. Therefore, I was very happy that I did read this novel. Yet even though I wish it didn't drag on as much as it did, it was still a very sweet, funny, and charming story that I lives up to the series reputation!

I recommend this novel to anyone who is a fan of the series and likes sci-fi romances!!

Book Teaser(s) :
Dax wanted to cry or scream or at least hit something. He’d just saved Ava from that scuzzy Cylopean—which had to count for something in the mating game—and now that she finally had her arm around him, he was about to lose his balls.
Not that he was giving them up without a fight. He’d never hit a woman in his life, but he would defend himself if necessary—or do what he’d done the last time and make a run for it.
“A deal’s a deal,” the blonde snarled. “We let that creepy Norludian do us both, so now you owe us each a fuck—or a nut.”
“Yeah,” the brunette agreed. “A fuck or a nut.”
They were both planted squarely in front of him with hands on hips and fire in their deep blue Davordian eyes. While Dax cast about for a graceful way to escape the situation, he attempted to push Ava behind him and out of the path of danger. But Ava apparently had other ideas.
Ducking out from under his arm, she got right up in the brunette’s face. “He’s not fucking either of you! His balls belong to me, so back off, bitch!”
Dax was stunned. The very last thing he ever expected was to have Ava stand up and claim any part of him, let alone his balls. ~ within Chapter 10
“Must be all that red hair,” Ava suggested. “It’s very sexy.”
“You think so?” Diokut combed his fingers through his bushy mane. “Too bad the Kitnock girls don’t like it.”
“You could change the color, couldn’t you?”
“Hmph,” Teke said. “If hair coloring worked on us, do you honestly think I’d let mine be gray?”
“Gray hair isn’t necessarily a bad thing,” Ava said. “I mean, I’m sure Dax would be amazingly sexy, no matter what color his hair was.”
“Possibly,” Teke conceded. “But then, he has other things going for him.”
“Yeah,” Diokut said with a nod. “He’s tall, dark, and handsome, plus he’s the captain of his own starship. Chick magnet material for sure.”
“And hung like a bull—”
Dax was in the process of sipping his wine and nearly choked.
“—moose,” Waroun finished with an impish grin. “Knew I could sneak that in somewhere.”
“Come on, Waroun,” Ava chided. “When was the last time you saw a bull moose?”
“In holographic nature documentaries,” Waroun said promptly. “I just love the parts about the mating season. They’ve got some seriously big—”
“Waroun!”
“—antlers.”
“We have got to get him laid,” Threldigan observed. ~ within Chapter 16

Idolizing In: Chronicles of the Malcolm Series, Book 2

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Paperback - Pages: 200; Kindle Edition - File Size: 887 KB | Expected Release Date: September 22, 2015 | Publisher: Samhain Publishing | Obtained: NetGalley

"Bad Kitty" [Chronicles of the Malcolm Series, Book 2] by Teresa Noelle Roberts (aka Sophie Mouette)

Author's Book Description : When you make the Devil’s bargain, be prepared to take the heat. A lot of heat.

Most of Xia’s early memories are repressed, thank the Great Cat Mother. But her body remembers how to kill.

The longer she and her fellow Malcolm crewmates are holed up on Cibari hiding from assassins, the twitchier she gets—until the planet’s insanely sexy warlord, Rahal Mizyar, borrows her skills to take out slavers.

Rahal suspects Xia is his mate, but the human-raised female never learned the finer points of felinoid rituals. The solution: make her fall hard and fast for him, even if it means playing dirty.

Hired to determine if Xia is the long-missing granddaughter of the felinoid prime minister, Cal Janssen has finally tracked her down. Getting past Rahal, though, is a problem—until he’s mistaken for a notorious arms dealer and playboy. And he finds himself the object of both Rahal’s and Xia’s seduction.

When their first mission brings Xia’s memories bulleting back to the surface, she realizes she’s fallen for two men who don’t exist. Running away, however, could be her deadliest mistake.


Warning: Contains an assassin with a swiss cheese memory, a badass warlord who’s getting tired of his own con, and a freelance lawman. Secrets, lies, and hot sex with no rules.

My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars! On the run from a few assassins, Xia and her Malcolm crew “family” take refuge on a crime-ridden planet with its warlord Rahal. While Xia’s instant attraction to Rahal is undeniable, what really surprises her is their chemistry and how she is willing to do spend more than one night with him. Yet it’s not only Rahal that has stolen her attention, an arms dealer called Karn “the Viking” Anders has too.

Karn’s actual name is Cal and whose job is private law enforcement is going after Xia because of a job to reunite her with her relatives. However, as Cal gets more involved with Xia and Rahal he comes to realize that he can’t fulfill his contract but even so how will he be able to tell the truth to the two people who are starting to mean more to him than anything or anyone else?

As the three of them deal with their unexpected relationship and the threats against them, they find that they’ll need to overcome the lies that unintentionally brought them together. Or will everything fall apart on them?

This novel is Soo FUN … it would be hot and erotic one minute than have me laughing at Xia, Cal, & Rahal’s quirky antics the next. A thrilling read in more than one ways, I didn’t want to stop reading about this wonderful character match up! Plus, I found that even though I hadn’t read any other novels in this series it was still standalone enough that I never felt lost.

I found myself enamored with Xia, Rahal, & Cal as a couple. They are all badass in their own ways and I loved how Xia’s men brought her through her past healing her in the process. Silly, spontaneous, crazy in some instances, but with secret tender sides, all three are so perfect for one another that I was rooting for them from the beginning. Then with the way they “worked” through their issues at the end of this novel, it just made me like them even more.

I highly recommend this novel to those looking for a quirky and steamy erotic dramedy!!

-- On a side note --
This novel reminded me of a fun mix of Cheryl Brooks' The Cat Star Chronicles Series & Nina Croft's "Blood and Metal."

Made the Grade: Chronicles of Yavn, Book 1

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 340; Kindle Edition - File Size: 1010 KB | Expected Release Date: February 01, 2012 | Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca | Obtained: NetGalley

"King of Darkness" [Chronicles of Yavn, Book 1] by Elisabeth Staab

My Book Summary : When Thad was born, an Oracle predicted that his destined mate, who would be ruling with him when it would be his time to be King, would have the same scar as the one that is located on his arm. Therefore, after he finally finds her within a club in Florida he's a little shocked but definitely relieved. Now his biggest challenge is yet to come, getting her to believe him enough to give Thad a chance at the possibility of being together forever. However, just as things might be looking up for Thad his enemies descend on them .... will he be able to complete his destiny or will the enemy win instead??

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, it's an intriguing novel with its multiple plots, witty banter, spicy romance scenes, and characters that you can't seem to be able to guess at what they'll do next!! I will say that I found this novel unique in the way that Thad is portrayed as a vulnerable person/vampire, not sure what to do with his new position as King, which I thought was a interesting change in comparison to the other types of "vampire king" novels I've read previously. There are three plots within this novel, they are:
  1. The Main Plot: The relationship between Thad and Isabel (Izzy). Trying to prove that they are meant for each other, while learning about each other in a rapid pace setting.
  2. First Secondary Plot: Tyra and Anton's relationship. Finding out the truth of who Anton really is, and what will happen once the truth does finally come out.
  3. Second Secondary Plot: It's a mixture of the different characters ---
    • The love/hate relationship between Lee and Alexia .... not sure where that's going to go but I really hope somewhere good!!
    • Siddoh and his playboy ways.
    • Then the mysterious relationship between Lee and Agnessa, that holds the question of what really happened between them??
About the Characters:
• Isabel (Izzy): Has a big heart. Independent. Cautious. Vampire.

• Thad: Responsible. Wiry. King of the Vampires.

• Lee: Protective. Determined. Strong. Rough. Vampire.

• Alexia: Fun. Tough. Friendly. Human.

• Tyra: Thinks she's invincible. Mother hen type. Half-vampire.

• Anton: Kind. Wizard.

• Siddoh: Sneaky. Playful. Leader. Vampire.

I am very curious as to see what will happen next in "Prince of Power" [Chronicles of Yavn, Book 2] where the main plot will be around Tyra and Anton's story!!

I recommend this to those who like reading spicy paranormal romance novels, and to whoever is looking for a new series that gives new twists to what is already out there within that genre!

Book Teaser(s) :
He was getting the urge to roll his own eyes, juvenile though the gesture was. "I gotta be honest. I don't see how the two of you can fuck like bunnies and yet be unable to tolerate each other's presence otherwise. You work together, for goodness sake. You've gotta be able to deal with him."
"I actually prefer the bonobo ape as an analogy."
Lee sat straighter on the bed. "What the hell are you talking about?"
She smiled. "They're one of the only animal species to have sex for reasons other than procreation. Including conflict resolution, I might add. And I'm pretty sure they have sex even more than rabbits."
Oh, for the love of--- ~ within Chapter 12
