Made the Grade: Granite Lake Wolves, Book 3

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 442 KB | Release Date: March 2010 | Publisher: Samhain Publishing

"Wolf Games" [Granite Lake Wolves, Book 3] by Vivian Arend

My Book Summary : Seven years ago her previous pack did some terrible things to her and her family, since then she has been running and hiding from all other "wolves", but now Maggie has to rejoin the ranks of those like her, even if she's scared to death. Erik is sent to bring her to her knew home in Alaska, to the pack her sister is now a part of, and she finds she is immediately drawn to him, which scares her even more.

Thankfully, Erik doesn't plan on pushing her into anything, but that doesn't mean he's backing off either, since she is his mate and he'll do anything to have her be safe and keep her with him. But when she gets randomly chosen to participate in the Wolf Games (that are like the wolf version of the Olympics), she'll have to deal with her past and the issues that come along with that sooner then she expected.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. I have yet to read the other books in this series but if this one is like the others then I have high hopes for it. It's a sweet tale about the meaning of love and what you are willing to do to pull through during the difficult times.

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Tidal Wave

Book Teaser :
"Missy leaned in again and whispered with a laugh. "Oh goodie, that's Jared. If there's a challenge involving getting into the girls' pants, we're now guaranteed a win."
Rather than watching what happened with the selection, Maggie was more intent on keeping an eye on Erik. He shook his new team member's hand then stood back, his gaze once again meeting hers. Calming her from across the room.
He was there for her. Could she believe that?"
~ within Chapter 4

Made the Grade: Denali Heat Series, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 398 KB | Release Date: August 2010 | Publisher: Samhain Publishing

"Arctic Shift" [Denali Heat Series, Book 1] by Lissa Matthews

My Book Summary : Ruby is a city girl and happy to be one, but she gets thrown into the Alaskan wilderness trying to find her sister. What she doesn't know is that her sister has taken up with a local who just happens to be a shifter. But the real reason that Ruby's sister has been MIA is because she knows that if she was after a while Ruby would come looking for her, and in doing so Ruby would meet her new man's brother, named Carson, who happens to feel like Ruby is his mate just like Ruby's sister is his brother's mate. Once the two meet the only thing that Carson has to prove now is his feelings for her, before Ruby decides that she's had enough of nature.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. It was better then I hoped but towards the end of the story it kinda dropped off it's good momentum. So, it made me wish it turned out better. Though I really did like Ruby and Carson as a couple. And I thought that the story of Carson's heritage was very unique and creative aspect that the author came up with.

So if you like hot romances --- CHECK IT OUT!

Book Teaser(s) :
"What did your mom mean by ease up?"
"It's not often new people are brought here and we've had two, first Melanie and now you. It always makes the family a little nervous and extra vigilant until we're sure the newcomers are not here to harm or expose us."
She could understand that and expected they weren't very trusting right up front. To let outsiders in meant a risk. It would be a burden on anyone, knowing they had a secret they could never share. ~ within Chapter 6

"The Naughty List" by Jodi Redford

Author's Book Description :
    Makin’ a list, and rocking it...twice.

    Perpetual good girl Lacey McGuire has two Christmas wish lists. One suitable for public consumption...and a private one that’s too hot to handle. Right at the top: wild, wicked fantasies about her best buddies and business partners Ryan Hollister and Bram Colton.

    Besides the fact they’re both poster boys for Hunks ’R’ Us, they’ve been there for her through thick, thin and the heartbreak of a cheating fiancé. So what if her boys will never know they star in her sexiest daydreams? In her fantasy world, her heart will never get trampled again.

    Ry and Bram are pretty sure Lacey never meant to email a list of some of her raunchiest wants. Particularly the one that tightens their shorts—she wants a threesome. With them. Although they’ve loved her for years, they made a pact to keep Lacey off limits in order to protect their friendship. Now all bets are off. And the quest to give her all she wants—and more—is on.

    Warning: This book contains a wickedly hot M/F/M ménage that will heat up the holidays. Friends steaming things up in a hot tub. Bondage and blindfolds. Sexy shenanigans at a Christmas tree lot. And maybe even a glimpse of Santa...in a Speedo. [Read Jess' Review for this Book]

Idolizing In: Lone Pine Pride Series, Book 3

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Paperback - Pages: 274; Kindle Edition - File Size: 948 KB | Expected Release Date: February 10, 2015 | Publisher: Samhain Publishing | Obtained: NetGalley

"Hawk's Revenge" [Lone Pine Pride Series, Book 3] by Vivi Andrews (aka Lizzie Shane)

Author's Book Description : Her betrayal is unforgivable. But their passion? Unforgettable.

Hawk-shifter Adrian Sokolov made the mistake of trusting the beautiful Dr. Rachel Russell once—and wound up drugged, captured, and experimented on inside Organization Labs.

He isn’t about to make the same mistake again, but when she offers to help him escape this hell hole, he can’t say no. Her only condition? That he take her with him.

From the moment Rachel discovered her bosses’ true intent, she’s been secretly smuggling shifters out of the Labs. But now the higher-ups suspect they have a mole, and it’s time to flee—but not before she frees the golden-eyed hawk she was forced to betray.

When their escape goes wrong, Adrian wakes, confused and alone, in the safety of the Lone Pine Pride infirmary and realizes he may have left behind the one ally the shifters had within the Organization—the same breathtaking woman who invades his dreams.

Now he must face the Organization that destroyed him… before she pays for his freedom with her life.

Warning: This book contains betrayals, escapes, rescues, plots, double-crosses, a sexy surly hero, a heroine who deserves sainthood… and a pride full of trouble.

Genre: Paranormal Romance :: Heat Level: Spicy :: Length: Novel

My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars! The Lone Pine Pride Series, with all of its novels including "Hawk's Revenge," are a spin-off from Ms. Andrews’ Serengeti Shifters Series and while each of the novels are all connected very closely, because of the way the background plot of the series runs, readers can expect them to be stand-alone-ish novels.

For the past four years, Rachel has been a fertility scientist working for the Organization and during that time, she has secretly organized shifters to escape. Six months ago, the Organization became suspicious of her and her relationship with Adrian (Noah/Hawk), a hawk shifter who she was sort of dating and helping her get the shifter escapees further away than they could by themselves. So, for the sake of all her plans and the escapees she allows the Organization to capture Adrian, and in the end herself too. Recently she has gotten Adrian released from the compound but will that personal betrayal between them be easy to overcome? Will Adrian understand why she did what she did to him and go back to save her too? Was what they shared together even real or just a lot of pent up lust? So many questions and lies between them, with so little time will they be able to get the closure they need or will everything fall apart?

OH MY GOD!! I WAS ADDICTED TO THIS NOVEL FROM THE VERY BEGINNING! So much so, that if it wasn’t for my husband saying it was time for bed I probably stayed up all night to read it, as it was I went to bed at 11:30 pm. =0)

I was very intrigued and could not get enough! This thrillingly intense novel is all about overcoming circumstances that you were thrown in while trying to trust your instincts by doing the right thing. Sizzling, hot, and passionate. Adrian and Rachel’s relationship sets this novel one cut above the rest with the dynamic ways these two came back together. I’m amazed by how it all worked out for them! I cannot wait to see where Ms. Andrews will take this series and this couple next.

I HIGHLY recommend this novel and series to those looking for a uniquely intense paranormal thriller romance!

"Regina in the Sun" [Children of the Goddess Series, Book 1] by R. G. Alexander -- Regina (Reggie) is an Unborn Vampire on the run from a dark/murderous evil, running to the only person/family her sire told her that would help them all, Lux Sariel (a born vampire). However, once she arrives at the Sariel bar, called Haven, and has been given sanctuary she passes out from her massive wounds.

When Zander Sariel (older Lux's brother) sees Reggie for the first time inside his bar, he cannot take his eyes off her. In addition, when he realizes she's hurt and the only way to save her is by giving her blood, primal instinct takes over and he knows he can't allow anyone else's blood but his to save her. Once that connection happens he realizes that, she is really his grathita (his blood-bound mate).

Now once Reggie wakes up from healing she will not only have to deal with the terrors that are after her, but find she's bound to a man that their laws forbid them from joining as they have. What is she going to do?

3.5 out of 5 stars. Like most of her books, this is another keeper. Written with the matriarchal aspects that P. C. Cast's House of Night series includes, just in this series those aspects have had their back turned on by most of the characters (except the main ones), makes it that much more intriguing.

For more information on this book, series, and/or any other books by R. G.'s, then please check out her website.

Made the Grade: Granite Lake Wolves, Book 1

Format: E-Copy | File Size: 468 KB | Release Date: March 2009 | Publisher: Samhain Publishing | Obtained: Contest by Vivian Arend

"Wolf Signs" [Granite Lake Wolves, Book 1] by Vivian Arend

My Book Summary : Robyn is disappointed that her brother isn't able to go with them on their annual ski trip to a cabin on Granite Lake. However, just because of that and her being deaf does NOT mean she isn't going, even if that means going alone. She is all packed, ready to go, and she's going ... no matter what!

She just didn't plan on two brothers who planned on getting away for a while themselves, staying at that same cabin.

Keil and TJ were just getting away to relax for a little while before Keil's pack challenge came up. They never expected to run into anyone here, especially not a hot, feisty woman who's deaf and doesn't know she's a full-blooded werewolf. Time to prove it to her and more ...... to bad with the challenge there's a deadline for it all...

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. A great beginning for this fun and spicy series!! Keil is the definition of possessive alpha male in this story. While I loved reading about Keil & Robyn worked through their "communication issues," turning this story into one I've never read about before. I recommend this book and series for anyone who likes to read a werewolf (slightly erotic) romance.

Book Teaser(s) :
“You okay, Keil?” TJ wandered back with a worried expression on his face.
“Just fine. Um, leg cramp. Get the coffee.”
“Yes, master. Right away, master.”
Keil looked at Robyn who smiled at him, a mischievous glint in her eyes that he hadn’t seen the day before.
She mouthed the words back to him, “Leg cramp,” and squeezed. Her face was flushed but she was still smiling, and when she leaned up to kiss him, he thought he must have died and gone to heaven. ~ within Chapter 3
“No way, Keil. Oh man, you know I hate wearing those things. Tell her I don’t have to,” TJ whined.
Robyn held out the devices to the men, her eyebrow rising at the sight of TJ pulling back and hiding his hands behind his back.
“I hate them.”
Robyn’s shrug said she didn’t care what he thought as she stepped up to him, slipped the strap over his neck and fastened the waist belt. She reached up and patted TJ’s pouting cheek while she batted her eyes and gave him an evil grin.
“I feel like a dog with a collar.” ~ within Chapter 5

Feasted On: That Old Black Magic Series, Book 1

Format: E-Copy | File Size: 828 KB | Release Date: October 2010 | Publisher: Samhain Publishing | Obtained: Jodi Redford

"That Voodoo You Do" [That Old Black Magic Series, Book 1] by Jodi Redford

My Book Summary : Jemma has always known that she was adopted. However, she is about to realize that her life will be forever changed once her past comes to haunt and hunt her ..... literally!

It starts out that she decides to finally seduce her best friend, Griff, which turns into one hot night of passion, but by the next morning her life and heart will be forever changed. Since the sex they have unlocks her witchy powers and turns into a beacon for an angry dead Voodoo Queen that seeks nothing but Jemma's death and world domination.

To top all that off, along with learning how to defeat a very powerful and dead Voodoo Queen, the guild of witches want to separate Jemma and Griff as they say their relationship is "illegal." Will Jemma be able to deal with all of these new changes while being able to keep herself and those she loves alive?? And if so, can Griff and her be able to prove to everyone that they are meant to stay together??

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! This is an addicting story about a woman who comes into her destiny in a way she would never have expected. Jemma and Griff make a great pair from their friendly banter to their steamy sex scenes!! Plus I really liked the aspect of reading about witches and their "familiars," since I'm not used to reading about that sort of thing it was interesting doing so.

So, I recommend this book for all of those who like reading about witches learning their craft, voodoo queens trying to take over the world, and/or best friends taking their relationship to the next level!!

FYI -- There are some HOT m/f & m/f/m scenes!!!

Book Teaser(s) :
Talk about a truly awe-inspiring spectacle. Particularly since Logan just so happened to be buck naked.
A female would have to be blind not to be left gaping at the outrageous display of man candy. Fortunately she’d been gifted with 20/20 vision.
Clarissa joined them, her cheeks wearing an identical shade of red as the rhododendron blooms in the distance. “For goddess’s sake, Logan, how many times do I have to ask you not to shift like that out in the open?” Clearing her throat, she averted her gaze. “You know how it embarrasses Peach.”
Jemma glanced sideways and spied the older woman vigorously cleaning her spectacles. Stuffing her hankie back in her pocket, Ms. Peach returned to ogling Logan’s dangly man bits. Oh yeah, clearly the woman was mortified. ~ within Chapter 7

"Anything You Want" [Anything & Everything Series, Book 1] by Erin Nicholas

My Book Summary : Sabrina (Seattle - Marc's nickname for her) has always been close to Luke ever since she was 13 years old and he protected her from her father's overbearing ways. Since that day on, he has been her hero, her best friend, her safety net, the person she always called when she desperately needed something. At least that was until 4 years ago when she tried to take their relationship to the next level (from friends to lovers) and found out that even though she truly cared for Luke she just couldn't settle into the lifestyle he wanted. Therefore, she left for Seattle and never looked back (for the most part)....

Now it's 4 years later, her dreams of being a famous singer still have not come true, she's broke because someone recently stole all of her money, and is .... pregnant! On her way back to her hometown, her car brakes down and she's stranded with nowhere to go and no one to call but Luke. However, Luke isn't the one who comes to rescue her ... Marc does.

When Marc was in 5th Grade, his family died in a car accident and Luke and Luke's family were kind enough to take him in and adopt him. Ever since then he has loved them and would do anything to protect them. Even if that means stepping in and keeping Sabrina away from Luke, so she cannot break his heart again. Now if only he can try to protect himself and his heart from Sabrina too...

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, this is a story of finding one's true passion, of overcoming one's fears, and fulfilling those dreams! I really loved the characters!! Sabrina/Seattle is clever, funny, smart-mouthed, and witty while being a passionate singer. Marc is protective, creative, amusing, cocky, flirtatious, and dynamic while being a passionate chef. Together they are the perfect duo to keep each other on their toes while being very supportive of each other’s dreams.

With that being said, I was very annoyed with how Sabrina kept falling back on Luke. I mean I understand that that was the whole point of the plot but it's like as soon as she gets around Luke she second-guesses her choices and wants making her seem like she looses her backbone altogether. This is why I loved her with Marc because they played off each other well. In addition, when they were together it's the only time that Sabrina made any real choices that worked well for her and were "smart" choices.

I recommend this novel to anyone who likes to read a good contemporary romance that has a little comedy thrown in!

Book Teaser(s) :
“I need some hydrocortisone cream.”
“What for?”
Marc never had been particularly tactful where she was concerned.
“I have a rash.”
“A rash?” He wrinkled his nose as if she’d announced she had an STD.
Heat rash.”
“Heat rash?”
Marc was an intelligent guy but sometimes she wondered how he’d managed to obtain his Master’s degree.
“I have heat rash from where the denim of my shorts rubbed on the back and inside of my thighs as I walked down the highway in eighty-seven degree heat, looking for a service station for my damned car.”
He stared at her for a full ten seconds. Then his eyes dropped to her thighs. He stared harder, seeming puzzled.
“What?” she finally demanded.
“How’d I miss that?”
“Excuse me?”
“You were standing there in your panties and I thought I looked you over pretty good.”
She felt a jolt of heat remembering his eyes on her. If he’d been looking really closely he could have seen her heart thumping in her chest. “You were staring at my tattoo.”
“And thinking about proceeding with caution.” ~ within Chapter 2
Teaser #2 ~ within Chapter 8

"Wild Nights" [Vegas Nights Series, Book 3] by Karen Erickson (aka Monica Murphy)

Author's Book Description : A guy of her own? She’s not holding her breath—until he steals it away.

Natalie’s girls-only weekend in Vegas is shot to hell, thanks to her friends ditching her for very sexy, very famous guys. Not that she blames them. She knows what lonely feels like. A nurse’s long hours leave little time for a social life.

Then she collides with and spills her drink all over a very fine, very exposed male chest. A chest belonging to Noah Wilde, lead singer for the infamous Wilde & Wicked rock band. Thankfully, he’s merely amused as she tries to take care of the mess she made.

Noah sure would like to make a mess of the gorgeous, petite lady with luminous blue eyes. There’s no resisting the urge to tempt her along for an adventurous night of gambling, drinking, eating, and sin.

But during the harsh light of day, Noah has a change of heart. Not about the fact he likes Natalie—a lot. He’s not sure he wants to drag this sweet lady through his sordid life. Even though sparing her could cost them both a chance at forever.

Product Warnings: Contains a nurse who thought she knew all there was to know about anatomy, and a rock god who’s about to show her a few spots she missed. To say they both hit the jackpot would be an understatement.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. Looking to take a little brake Natalie (Nat) took a weekend vacation to Las Vegas with her two best friends for a girls getaway, only to end up at an exclusive party the first night and get ditched by her friends. Yet, things start to look up after she catches the eye of Noah the lead singer of a hot rock band Wilde & Wicked. Sparks fly and soon what was meant to be a just a wild weekend turns into something a whole lot more … but is the infatuation all one-sided?

Steamy and sweet. This quick read leaves you wanting more but satisfied with the sweet way it all wraps up. I recommend it to those looking for a steamy rockstar romance novella!

Book Teaser(s) :
All of his baser instincts were coming out in full force tonight. All over a little sprite of a girl who tasted and felt like heaven. ~ within Chapter 6
Natalie kept him on his toes. She said whatever was on her mind, she got mad at him when chicks rarely did, plus she was so incredibly responsive. She was fucking perfect for him.
So perfect it was almost scary. ~ within Chapter 7
