"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."

Feasted On: One Night With Consequences Series, Book 13

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Paperback - Pages: 240; Kindle Edition - File Size: 719 KB; Audible – Unabridged; Audio CD - Audiobook | Expected Release Date: October 1, 2015 | Publisher: Harlequin : Presents | Obtained: NetGalley

"An Heir Fit for a King" [One Night With Consequences Series, Book 13] by Abby Green

Author's Book Description : “From The Essence Of Desire… A King’s Baby!”

While exiled King Alix Saint Croix lies in wait to reclaim his throne a mistress would provide a welcome distraction. He enters a Parisian perfume house to buy fragrance for a current lover – and leaves with a powerful craving for another woman: stunningly exotic perfumer Leila Verughese.

The very smell of Alix awakens Leila’s every nerve. If she’s going to give her innocence to anyone, who better than a king? But it’s an alchemy with life-changing repercussions…

Leila’s life spirals out of control – until she realises her power… she’s carrying a royal heir!

[With bonus novella "Christmas at the Castello" by Amanda Cinelli included!]

Special News!

An Heir Fit For a King was nominated for a 2015 Reviewers Choice Award in Romantic Times Magazine! And, a copy of the book appeared in an episode of Coronation Street!

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars, two lost souls find one another at an inopportune time and try to make the most of it. However, when both of their lies come out, than more lies come into play, will their true feelings be able to become revealed once everything is on the line?

Seductive. Intense. Fast-paced. It keeps you on your toes from the very beginning and hooks you once you realize that through they have an immediate connection it’s because of their past experiences that they fight it from the start. Watching/reading about how they struggle to come to terms with their feelings for one another was very sweet and I didn’t want it to end.

Alix (Alixander) is an exiled King secretly trying to get back to his throne. Leila is a woman who has a lot of relatives who abandoned her and her mother (who recently passed away); now trying to hold her mother’s perfumer business together and unintentionally is swept up into Alix’s world. They were so right for one another in this novel, that no matter how much they lied I still liked them. Their strong personalities are what kept me riveted to their novel. I couldn’t see one without the other.

I recommend this novel to those looking for an engaging contemporary romance!

Spreading the Word: Bachelors of Battle Creek Series, Book 2

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 418; Kindle Edition - File Size: 1681 KB | Expected Release Date: May 5, 2015 | Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca | Obtained: NetGalley

"Twice a Texas Bride" [Bachelors of Battle Creek Series, Book 2] by Linda Broday

Authors' Book Description : Scars of the past run deep inside former saloon owner Rand Sinclair, leaving jagged pain and two certainties. He’ll never fall in love again. Never marry.

He finally has the ranch and land he’s dreamed of owning and that’s enough. But when he finds a woman and little boy hiding in one of his outbuildings in the bitter cold, he can’t turn his back. He offers her a safe haven and the warmth of his fire.

Callie Quinn is on the run from a killer outlaw who has vowed to see her dead and take the boy. Slowly, Rand uncovers her secrets and realizes the only way to keep her safe is to push all his chips to the center of the table.

He risks everything…his name…and his heart…for the woman who’s awakened a fierce hunger for love.

Locked in a desperate battle to rid themselves of the outlaw’s special brand of terror, Rand reaches deep inside for every weapon in his arsenal.

Whoever wanted to harm her would have to go through him.

…And he’d go through hell for her.

My Book Review : DNF. Okay, while I LOVED "Texas Mail Order Bride" I struggled with this novel. It wasn't because I didn't like the characters or the setting because I tremendously did. It was because once I put the book down to deal with everyday life, I never felt the urge to get back to it and read more. I wasn't hooked and so I gave up around 30% of the way into it.

Nevertheless, because I LOVED "Texas Mail Order Bride" (Book 1 of this series) so much I still do recommend this novel to those who have read book 1, since you get updated all a bunch of previous characters and submerged into new ones ... you may just be hooked more than I was.

Good luck!

Meet Aoife Marie Sheridan | Interview & Spreading the Word

Today I'm showing off Aoife Marie Sheridanand some of her novels that I recently interviewed her about!



My Q&A with Aoife Marie Sheridan :

Jess : Please describe your Saskia Trilogy in one to five sentences.

Aoife : It’s a story of a young woman finding herself in the most extreme situations. Learning to love, accept loss, and fight for what she believes in. It’s a journey of self-discovery and understanding no matter how powerful we may think we are, things can change in the blink of an eye.

Jess : Which usually comes first for you, the character(s) story or the idea for the novel?

Aoife : The story comes first for me not the characters. It’s a time, place and situation that will plaque me until I write it down. At present I have twenty one books I still wish to write and yet the stories I want to tell still come. I hope one day I get to tell them all.

Jess : Please describe "Hunters" [Demon Series, Book 1] in 75 words or less.

Aoife : A story about a damaged soul, living in a world where angels and demons are real. After losing her whole family Abigail spirals into a state of depression that doesn’t allow her to see any beauty in her life or the world. Her path of self-destruction affects the ones closest to her, especially Daniel (Zee) who loves her deeply. He is her salvation and her downfall.

Jess : Is there any differences and/or similarities between Sarajane from your Saskia Trilogy and Bellona from your Saskia Trilogy?

Aoife : Sarajane and Bellona are similar in ways. If Bellona had been given a chance in live she would have been a good person, she still would have been a spoilt princess but nothing like the way she turned out. She has a softness like Sarajane but her childhood has turned her into a bitter and cruel person. Sarajane was given a good start and now as she faces her difficulties she does so with a strong will. Her foundations are strong, Bellona’s weren’t.

Jess : What sparked the idea for "Hunters?"

Aoife : It came to be when I went to see a healer that my friend recommended to me. After our healing session he spoke of angels so vividly that I was left a little in awe. And where there is good, there is also evil. So the healer speaking of angels made me think of demons and so hunters the story was born.

Jess : What was your favorite chapter (or part) to write in a novel and why?

Aoife : The whipping Scene with the queen Bellona was a very hard scene to write. I loved it because it challenged me in ways. I needed so much emotion as I wrote it and had to bring it all to the top before I started writing. I wanted the reader to really feel not just the servant’s pain but Bellona’s also. I hope I did.

Jess : In regards to The Saskia Trilogy, if you could write it all over again, would you change anything about it?

Aoife : Not one thing. Yes I look at it now four years later and feel I could maybe do better, but that story was right at the time I wrote it, so I refuse to change it.

Jess : Out of all of the secondary characters within "Hunters," do you have one or two favorites so far? If so, who are they and can you tell us why?

Aoife : Cathy is one of my favorites, her sarcasm covers up her pain in life, yet she can be pretty funny in a cruel sort of way. But the cracks are so visible and she tries so hard to cover them up. She’s a complex character and one I think everyone can identify with at some stage in their lives. I know I can.

Jess : How many books have you written? Which is your favorite and why?

Aoife : I have six written books. Oh that’s not fair, I can’t pick a favorite, but since your twisting my arm I would say "Drowning in Lies," my newest book. I just love the world and characters.

Jess : Do you have any other projects in the works? If so, can you share a little of your current work with us?

Aoife : "Drowning in Lies" [Seven of Kings Series, Book 1] is my next release.

Here is the Blurb:
    Chaos reigns throughout the seven kingdoms of Nirra. Fighting for their lives as their Kings wage war against one and other, the people are used as pawns.

    While the search begins for a woman who will birth the strongest heir to the throne, a healer runs from a fate she doesn’t want to embrace, a witch finds out about her powers, and a traumatised amnesiac struggles to remember who she is.

    In a world at war and with no control over their own destinies, they are all drowning in lies. Only the strongest will survive.

Jess : Do you have a favorite aspect of spring/summer that you’d like to share with us?

Aoife : Not really my favorite season is winter. Love the cold. My favorite thing to do is curl up with a book, or nestle down and do some writing.

Jess : What cartoon character best represents your personal philosophy?

Aoife : Oh Lord that’s tough. I really don’t know.

Jess : If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title should be?

Aoife : Your questions are so hard. Hmmm .... "The Irish Author." (that’s the best I can do)
