"Wildcat" [The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 9] by Cheryl Brooks (aka Samantha R. Michaels)

My Book Summary : Even though Jerden was named the hottest hunk in the galaxy by the Damenk Tribune ever since Audrey, Jerden's sexual "fluffer," was murdered he has become a recluse and has stayed hidden from everyone as much as possible. That is until Sara's horse winds up on his property and she comes into his life planning on getting him back. After they come to an agreement about "sharing" her horse, they quickly find that their attraction to one another is creating a bond that makes them want to be around each other more than they would have ever expected. However, while their relationship goes from nonexistent to steamy, old enemies find a way of showing up in the most unexpected ways in hopes of coming between them for good. Will their enemies succeed? Or will Sara and Jerden find that protecting each other is the one thing they'll never have to worry about?

My Book Review : 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!! Also, I can't wait to read Onca's novel "Rascal" coming out around February 2014!!

I recommend this novel and series to anyone who enjoys some spicy sci-fi romantic erotica!!

Book Teaser(s) :

Teaser #1 ~ within Chapter 2

It was almost as though their souls had touched.
She shook her head, banishing the thought. Souls didn't touch or connect or any of the mumbo jumbo mystical nonsense that people wrote sonnets about. It simply didn't happen. It was a trick of the moonlight, or a feeling of compassion, no more.
That's what Ebenezer Scrooge thought.
Sara stomped her foot in protest. "I am not being visited by ghosts. And I am not like Scrooge. Besides, that was fiction."
If there was one thing Sara prided herself upon, it was being firmly grounded in reality. There was a simple, rational, logical explanation for everything. Granted, there were aliens with strange powers, but those abilities were natural for them. In Sara's opinion, humans who claimed to have supernatural talents were just plain lying. ~ within Chapter 4

Jerden had never been one to experience performance anxiety, but he was beginning to understand why many men did. The whole what if my dick doesn't work horror was enough to make any man's cock deflate.
He almost laughed out load. A Zetithian was performance anxiety? Too funny.
Particularly in Jerden's case. He'd been voted the best fuck on Rhylos three years straight. Still, with that kind of reputation to live up to, it was perfectly understandable for a guy to be a little nervous around a woman like Sara. ~ within Chapter 16

"Wildcat" [The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 9] by Cheryl Brooks

Book Teaser:

"That Katy mare is so ready, one touch made my tongue hard." Sara rolled her eyes. She'd long since learned to ignore Reutal's sexual remarks---and because a Norludian male's tongue did double duty as his sex organ, this comment was definitely sexual.
"Thanks, Reutal, but a simple 'she's in season' would've done."
In the three years he'd worked for Sara, the horses had stepped on Reutal's flipper-like feet so many times, it was a wonder he could walk. However, he had the uncanny knack of being able to simply touch a finger to a mare's lip and know when she was in estrus, which made him a very handy fellow to have on a breeding farm. He could also predict almost to the minute when a mare would foal. Unfortunately, he also liked to sample the "essence" of other females, and the fact that Norludians rarely wore clothing was disturbing to more people.
"Still true," Reutal insisted with a cheeky grin. "Can't lie to the boss." ~ within Chapter 2

Questions from Deidra :

1. If you could choose to live in one book, what book would it be?
   • I'm not sure when this will change but I still am a huge fan of Ms. Neill's Chicagoland Vampires Series! Technically I'd like to be one of Merit's best friends and living in the Cadogan House. **I know good luck with that one, but everyone can dream sometimes.**
2. You are on a deserted island, and you can choose ONE book. What book do you take?
   • Oh lordy. I have no idea .... hmmmmm ... well if I had to choose a book that I've read within the past year, and if it could be found in a paperback version anytime soon, then I'd read "Feral Sins" [The Phoenix Pack Series, Book 1] by Suzanne Wright. It has a great mix of intrigue, passion, and suspense that I could read that novel over and over.
3. Why did you decide to start a book blog?
   • This blog started because I decided (at that time--in 2008) was going to open a side business for my photography & videos. However, I didn't put much effort into the business so I only tried for a year. Yet I didn't want to give up this blog so I included/started book reviews to the blog as well and now it covers my three hobbies... creating videos, taking photos, and reading/reviewing books!!
4. Moment of truth: Do you judge a book by its cover?
   • Sad to say but ... YES. Well ... I should say not always but definitely most of the time. Especially when I'm avoiding the books that I already have piled up in my TBR and just want a quick read, so I scan Amazon.com to see what they recommend and by that time I usually go by what the cover looks like first.
5. Your favorite book is about to be made into a movie. How do you feel about that?
   • It just depends on if they did justice to the book series or not ... I mean I LOVED the Harry Potter movies, especially the last one (both parts 1 & 2) because they based the movie straight from the novel. Also, I surprisingly loved the Confessions of a Shopaholic movie even though they changed the heroine's life a bit by location and the movie basically mushed book 1 & 2 from Ms. Kinsella's series into one movie. However, since they don't always do that I'm always leery when seeing a new movie that's based off of a book.
6. Where is your favorite place to buy books?
   • It's a toss up. Mostly it depends on how much money I have at the time and when I want to read the novel (right away or am I willing to wait). But it's usually between Amazon.com, Page After Page Bookstore, or The Recycled Reader -- Used Bookstore.
7. Who are your favorite book boyfriends?
   • Oh my well ... they usually change on whatever book I'm reading at the time and if I like that book or not. So, to give you an idea on previous "book boyfriends" I've had crushes on please check out my Best Book Couples List that I made in 2012!!
8. Which character would you love to slap and why? *We all have those moments*
   • The last character I felt the urge to slap was Lucy (& sometimes Tarq) from "Stud" [The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 8] by Cheryl Brooks because she kept thinking bad things about herself, after a while it was very annoying.
9. What was your favorite book that you had to read for school?
   • I didn't have a favorite since I hating reading when I was in school. Therefore, I didn't enjoy or finish reading most of the books that I read in school, CliffsNotes versions were my friend. =0)
10. What is your favorite thing about blogging?
    • Putting my views and/or my creations out there so I can see what others think of it.
11. Which author are you dying to meet?
    • Any from the long list that I've read from--click here to see--yet most don't head my way. Maybe some day though. =0)

"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
