Feasted On: The Midnight Trilogy, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 337 KB | Release Date: April 2008 | Publisher: Kensington Brava Books

"Hotter After Midnight" [The Midnight Trilogy, Book 1] by Cynthia Eden

My Book Summary : Colin is a detective, but also shifter who grew up in foster care making it so he doesn't know much about the Other world, and even less about his kind. Emily isn't your 'typical therapist' she is what other people like to call the "Monster Doctor," meaning her clients are mostly (if not all) part of the Other world (shifters, vampires, etc), but she screens them first so she only takes those she believes are "nice." In addition, even though Emily is a human, she is also an empath, making her able to read the minds of all of those in the Other world and pinpoint what they are before they tell her.

Recently, Colin has gotten a case that deals with a series of killings happening in the area, and the main suspect happens to be a shifter. Colin's chief brings on Emily help the case, since her ability would really help them find the killer faster, hopefully.

However, Colin has always kept those around him in the blind about what he is, he gets very edgy about having the good doc get to close to him. Emily has a few secrets of her own she would like to keep hidden. But when some of the killings hit closer to home some things from her past just won't stay buried, and she turns to Colin bringing them closer then they could have dreamed. But can to people fall in love, overcome their differences, and hunt the bad guy before the bad guy has a chance to rip them apart forever?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! I think this one might just be my favorite Cynthia Eden book that I've read of hers thus far!! The characters were fresh, the book was inviting --drawing me in so much so that I didn't want to put it down-- and it keeps you guessing about who the killer might me the whole way through!! It's a sexy and thrilling read that will instantly make you addicted to this series!

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Eternal Hunter | Immortal Danger

Book Teaser(s) :
"Brooks is the one who handles the reporters." He jerked his thumb toward his partner who was just now leaving the staging area. "He's got the pretty-boy face that always looks good on camera."
Well, she thought Colin would look pretty good on camera too. Emily tensed. Damn. They really needed to talk, to clear the air.
But now was hardly the time and---
"Dr. Drake!"
Emily turned at Darla's call. Found the woman making a beeline straight for her. Jake tagged along in her wake.
Darla paused two feet away from her. A smug smile curved her lips. "I've got a few questions for you."
Colin stepped forward. "She's done talking about the case."
"Umm, well, it's not about the case. Not really."
At her Cheshire cat look, Emily got a very, very bad feeling in her gut. "What do you want to know?" ~ within Chapter 9

Feasted On: The Circle Eight Series, Book 1

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 254; Kindle Edition - File Size: 534 KB | Expected Release Date: January 31, 2012 | Publisher: Brava Books | Obtained: Emma Lang (The author mailed it to me.)

"Matthew" [The Circle Eight Series, Book 1] by Emma Lang (aka Beth Williamson)

My Book Summary : Who knew you could find your soul mate in the most unlikely circumstances...

Matthew's family has just had deal with one turmoil after another. First his parents get murdered and his youngest brother disappeared (stolen or dead he isn't sure), then when he goes to Houston to follow through with his family's land grant he finds that the only way to get the grant is to be married. Therefore, after telling the person dealing with the grant that he was married to a woman named Hannah, he now has a month to find a girl named Hannah and marry her so the grant will be approved.

As luck would have it a week later Matthew finds a voluptuous looking girl named Hannah to marry, who he also gets along with better than he ever expected. Nevertheless, not everyone in his family is happy to have her joining their family, making the tension at the ranch sometimes hard to deal with.

Then there is the mystery about what happened to Matthew's parents and brother. Who would do that to them? Why was it done? Where is his little brother? In addition, when they might finally have a lead with someone to help them in finding their brother, Hannah's life gets threatened. Will Matthew, Hannah, and his family give up the search just because someone might be out to get the rest of them? Or will they finally come together as a family and stick up for what is theirs?

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars ... this novel is about a family of ranchers who try to make the best out of some awful situations that happen to them. A compelling, sweet, and spicy novel gets you to fall head over heels for this family! They are such great characters! I'm very excited to see where this series will go and how the characters will grow.

In addition, I hope when they do find Benjy (since I think they will find him), he'll be living in a decent situation and not emotionally scarred. But we'll have to follow this series along to find out.

This was my first novel that I've read of Emma Lang's but if they are all like this one than she has just made another fan!!

If recommend this to anyone who really likes historical romance and/or spicy mystery novels!!

Book Teaser(s) :
Caleb frowned at him and Catherine kicked him in the shin.
"Ow, why are you kicking me?" He rubbed his leg and scowled at his youngest sister.
"You let Granny and Hannah eat in the kitchen. That's not very nice." She crossed her little arms like a forty-year-old school teacher.
"Heck, Matt, we could have taken turns." Caleb joined the blame party.
"I didn't tell them to eat in the kitchen."
"She's your wife. You tell her where she eats." ~ within Chapter 5
Matt wanted to throttle his wife at the same time he wanted to kiss her. Hannah had suddenly found her voice, along with a healthy dose of sass, and she seemed to be out of control. ~ within Chapter 10

Made the Grade: Immortal Danger by Cynthia Eden

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 262 KB | Release Date: March 2009 | Publisher: Kensington Brava Books

"Immortal Danger" by Cynthia Eden

My Book Summary : Five years ago Maya was just a good cop doing her job in keeping the streets clean, but then she got turned into a vampire and her murderers that she protected the city from have now changed from human to demon - were's - and even her own kinda ... vampires. However, even though she protects L.A. mostly on her own, she rarely takes jobs helping to save others. So, when Adam tracks her down and tells her he needs her help to save his niece, at first, she tries her damnedest no to take the job, saying she's not a helper. But when he doesn't take that answer all bets are off ... she stuck into helping him whether she likes it or not.

Though after Maya taking his blood as part of her payment during that first night together they both realize that they are attracted to each other more so then they could have predicted, even with Adam's great dislike of all vampires. Plus, with Adam keeping secrets about himself from her who knows where things will lead .... but as a new day approaches and it brings them that much closer to where the child is being kept, they'll find fate as more in store for them then they ever would have believed.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! The chemistry between Maya and Adam burns the pages .... I couldn't put the book down! Especially since you are never quite sure what he has up his sleeve, but Adam was able to charm me just from the pages! And since he's secret isn't one you usually read about, I really liked how the author portrayed it! In truth I think the author could have made a trilogy or small series just out of these two characters. The only reason that this book didn't get a hire score from me was because the ending was good ... but not great ... with all the build up I wish it could have been better.

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Eternal Hunter

Book Teaser(s) :
"Maya..."
She didn't glance back at him as she said, "You were pretty out of it when we left Blood Rock, so you probably don't remember our little friend taking a drive with us."
"You knocked me out! Dragged me here---"
Her hand shoved against his chest, sending him slamming back against the tiled wall. Water soaked her arm and fingers. "Do you remember what happened the last time you pissed me off? 'Cause you wouldn't shut the hell up?" ~ within Chapter 9

Feasted On: Oklahoma Nights Series, Book 3

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 305; Kindle Edition - File Size: 930 KB | Expected Release Date: March 25, 2014 | Publisher: Kensington Books : Brava | Obtained: NetGalley

"Three Weeks With A Bull Rider" [Oklahoma Nights Series, Book 3] by Cat Johnson

Author's Book Description : One Broken Man...

Cowboy Jace Mills has suffered fewer injuries from bucking bulls than he has from his ex-girlfriend. Following his best friend Tucker’s advice, Jace is convinced it’s time to move on. But with his ex’s tight rein on him, easier said than done.

One Broken Heart...

Tara Jenkins learned a lot in her sports medicine courses, but not how to fix her broken heart. So when her brother Tucker suggests using her skills on the rodeo, it gives her the perfect opportunity to ride off into the sunset—or at least run away.

Three Weeks Together...

Only problem is, Jace and Tara have had a hate-hate relationship for over a decade, putting up with each other for Tucker’s sake. With their long history as frenemies, they know sparks will fly, they just never expect them to flare into scorching passion...

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! Steamy, light-hearted, and sweet this novel has everything you could ask for, if only it didn't have to end! While trying to finally break things off with his slightly abusive ex-girlfriend and move on with his life, Jace helps out his best friend's little sister (Tara) by becoming her traveling partner during her internship with the bull rider association's sports medicine team. Usually they have a hate-hate relationship but as the days go by they find they have more in common then they ever expected leaving them unsure if they should turn their relationship into something a whole lot more or not...

I really enjoyed this novel!! From the main characters to Dillon & his wife to Tara's sexual adventures, I didn't want to put this novel down! I am actually happy I hadn't read any other novel in this series so I couldn't be prejudice to any of the secondary characters, therefore I could side with Tara and Jace with their thoughts on curtain characters. I loved Tara's snarky attitude and Jace's older "wisdom." They are a great match-up!

My only wish was that this novel was longer and/or that it had more of how their relationship is going after where the book ends, like in the form of an epilogue.

Overall, though, I HIGHLY recommend this novel to anyone who loves cowboys and/or contemporary slightly erotic romances!!

Tara had taken one too many psych classes at school. She fancied herself a freaking therapist. Jace laughed. "My recovery."
"Yeah, in getting over this physical addiction you have to Jacqueline."
"That's you plan, huh? Cure by orgasm. Sometimes the way your mind works is frightening."
"Good. I like keeping you a little afraid of me. It gives me the upper hand." ~ within Chapter 17

Feasted On: Night Watch Series, Book 1

Format: Paperback | Pages: 338 | Release Date: January 2010 | Publisher: Kensington Brava Books

"Eternal Hunter" [Night Watch Series, Book 1] by Cynthia Eden

My Book Summary : Erin is the new Assistant District Attorney in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and she's already fighting with judges trying to keep the bad guys in jail (or worse). But that isn't the only reason she is there, she's also trying to run away from her past and a stalker who wants her in the worst way. Everything seems to be okay then the guy she has been trying to get locked up for a while now, gets murdered right under the cops noses (in their jail cell)! Shortly after that happens she receives a message/note from her stalker, letting her know that he did it for her and he misses her. Romantic right!? *hahaa* Wrong.

Erin (who usually is afraid of nothing), asks Jude, a bounty hunter working at Night Watch, to protect her and hopefully stop this guy for good. But the stalker is trickier then they expected....

Will they be able to stop him before he kills again? Can they stop him before finally he decides to stake his claim on Erin?

As Jude and Erin get further in their search for the killer/stalker and get closer to each other .... will they be able to trust each other enough to make it through ... or will their secrets and the stalker tear them apart?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars. I couldn't get enough of this book!! Jude & Erin were great characters!! I loved them as a couple! The secondary characters were good too. If the second book is just as good .. then I think this will end up being a great series!!

Book Teaser(s) :
"I think baiting the asshole out there might not be our smartest move, and I think that next time, you better let me know your plans." Because being in the dark sucked, and if she was going up against the wolf, she wanted to know everything.
"Got it." A quick glance her way. "But, for the record, I kissed you because I wanted to do it. Because you've got the sexiest mouth I've ever seen, and because I wanted to taste you." ~ within Chapter 11

Feasted On: Phoenix Rising Series, Book 1

Format: Paperback | Pages: 342 | Release Date: February 28, 2012 | Publisher: Brava Books | Obtained: Cynthia Eden's Twitter Giveaway

"Fever" [Phoenix Rising Series, Book 1] by Joan Swan

My Book Summary : A case of mistaken identity couldn't come at the worst time for Alyssa, especially when it causes her to be taken hostage by a prisoner, Teague, in the middle of his abdomen ultrasound. Now she's on the run, not willingly (especially at first), with Teague and involved in his floundering plan on gaining his freedom while getting custody of his daughter back. Throughout the experience, Alyssa will find out how much and what she's willing to handle, along with finding out that not everything in life is really, what it seems.

Teague has been in prison for a crime he didn't commit. After three years, his plan to escape has finally here and his hostage (who's also his leverage in getting his daughter back) isn't anything like he thought she would be. She's strong, bullheaded, and very determined in everything she does. Throughout the "hostage" situation, they go through a lot together. Therefore, not long after he finds out who Alyssa really is, they get on friendlier terms with each other.

In addition, Alyssa decides that she needs to help Teague become a free man, just more legally then he had planned. In doing so their lives take massive turns, they both have to decide what they most want in their lives, and what they are willing to do (and/or give up) to make those dreams come true.

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! This riveting and enticing novel will keep you on your toes while wishing for the romance relationship between the main characters and Teague's main goals to all work out for the best. I could not believe some of the twists that happened in this book, but it has government conspiracy out the wazoo! The characters in this novel are very dynamic, diverse, sizzling and soo much more!

However, I will say at the beginning of the novel (like Taz and sometimes Teague) I was annoyed with how Alyssa handled herself or some of the reactions she had to her situation. Yet even as I say that, it really appealed to be that she was portrayed as such a strong heroine. Alyssa never backed down from anything that came at her throughout this whole book, which was very admiring.

Than the only other thing, that I wish could have been more developed was the things Tara did. Are they going to prosecute her? Was it really an accident? Did the warehouse fire make her do some of the things she did, like Suzanna?

I hope that my unanswered questions will be answered in the second novel in this series, "Blaze," or at least in some book down the line. Since in my opinion I don't think it was an accident. Nevertheless, until the author tells us ... who really knows the truth? =0/

Anyway ....

All in all, I REALLY liked this novel and I have high hopes for this series! I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read contemporary romance novels with a slight paranormal feel to it.

I hope you'll like it as much as I did!!

Book Teaser(s) :
"Shhh." Creek silenced her with a wave of his hand.
"The San Quentin inmates subdued guards and reportedly escaped the facility with a woman whose identity remains undisclosed. It is unclear at this time whether that woman was a hostage of an accomplice."
"Accomplice?" Alyssa sat straight up and swung her legs over the side of the bed. "You've got to be kidding me. Why would they . . . ? How could they . . . ?" ~ within Chapter 8
"You don't strike me as a random cruising kind of guy," Alyssa said. "Why are we here?"
"What kind of guy do I strike you as after our whole fifty-six hours together?"
"Like a guy who has secrets."
"That's not news, not is it?"
He turned into the parking lot, his attention scanning each row as he drove. ~ within Chapter 13

Disappointmentville: 10 Days Series, Book 2

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 276; Kindle Edition - File Size: 456 KB | Expected Release Date: September 25, 2012 | Publisher: Brava Books | Obtained: NetGalley

"How to Marry a Warlock in 10 Days" [10 Days Series, Book 2] by Saranna DeWylde (aka Sara Lunsford)

My Book Summary : Mordred (Dred) is a billionaire playboy warlock who can have any woman he wants. If the rumors are true about him, it seems like he has already had them all. All possibly, except for Midnight (Middy) Cherrywood, the one girl he teased the most while at the Academy and the one now who he would love to hook up with. However, Dred gets more then he bargained for when one date turns into a fake engagement for a mission he (and Middy) have been requested to do.

Middy has never liked Dred but just because she might not like him doesn't mean she doesn't lust after him. He is the only man she has ever really wanted to hook up with and that's exactly her bargain with Dred for her compliance on this mission, for him to have sex with her. Of course when Middy made the packed with Dred she really thought that he was kidding about the mission altogether.

Now the too are paired up for more then just a little fun, while learning a whole lot more about each other during the process. However, there are other people from an evil warlock that wants to take over the world to Dred's mother who are trying their hardest to either kill them both or push them together for good ... which one will win?

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. This is a unique take on the whole good vs. evil thing since who you think might be good and who you think might be evil aren't always true. Middy & Dred are quite a pair that are definitely made for each other! I loved them and Middy's quirky ways.

However, I SOOO wanted to like this novel but even with me liking the main characters and all of the cute funny stuff it just seemed to drag on too much for me to thoroughly enjoy it. Which is why I stopped reading at Chapter 25 - titled 'Things to Do in Loudun When You're Still Dead' and then skimmed through the rest of the book. =0/ However, I will say from what I read of the ending it was cute and wrapped up nicely.

Therefore, I would only recommend this novel to those who are fans of Saranna DeWylde, those who liked "How To Lose a Demon in 10 Days" (Book 1), or to those who enjoy quirky paranormal romances!! Thankfully, you don't need to read Book 1 to understand the plot of this novel, but you also get to catch-up with the characters from Book 1 to see what they are up too now!!

Author's Series Extras : Treasure Room | Is It Always the Hero... | Book Signing Odyssey | Hex Your Ex Box and How To Lose A Demon In 10 Days | How To Seduce An Angel in 10 Days - snippet

Book Teaser(s) :
"I can't wait until one of you decides that you've found the one. I'm going to make that witch wish she'd never been born." Middy gave them a wicked grin. "All for your own good, of course. Have to test her, make sure she can go the long haul, right, boys? Everything that you dish up to Dred, I'll be taking notes."
"Go ahead, Mids. I don't think any of us is the marrying kind," Raven snorted.
"Yeah, remember that. And don't forget to repeat that little gem in front of Mom."
They all cringed. ~ within Chapter 7 - titled 'The Worst That Could Happen'
Dred's eyes widened and then the bastard had the gall to laugh. It wasn't just a little giggle, or a smirk, it was an all-out belly laugh. As if that weren't enough, it was a deep sound that curled somewhere in her nethers and made her feel all warm inside. Middy found that to be a particularly inappropriate feeling.
She'd made her Grand Confession and he'd laughed and patted her on the head as if she were a favorite puppy who'd been caught chewing on his shoe. "Mother gave you the potion, didn't she?" ~ within Chapter 17 - titled 'Stuck in Old Loudun Again'
