"The Halfling's Lust" by Tanilen

Author's Book Description : The halfling Seraphina is a ranger in the Tesseraen Imperial Army and is expecting to get a big promotion when she discovers an enemy kingdoms secret military base hidden in the Empire's borderlands.

But while scouting the enemy camp, the halfling gets a big dose of a perverted general's lust inducing dreamsmoke. Can she make it safely back to her own commanders when the only thing she can think about is the burning desire between her legs.

When she encounters a malicious rival, the half-orc Bozeh, Sera hopes she can convince him to give her what she needs, but standing nearly three times her size, he may kill her in the process...

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. This is one passionate erotica that keeps you intrigued with its suspenseful plot and humorous exploits. Plus, Bozeh and Sera were cute together, especially when it came to their mismatched ways.

I recommend it only to those who are looking for a quick erotica to read.

Book Teaser(s) :

"What's wrong, Seraphina? Did you take chill from riding wet at night?"
"Um, no I…" the halfling stuttered, and wondered what to do. What her companion mistook for fever was her entire body flushed from sexual arousal and she was actually trembling from need. "I...oh, hell--Bozeh, there was a censer burning in the commander's tent and I got a big dose of dreamsmoke, and dammit everything they say about it is true!"
Bozeh raised a bristly eyebrow and looked at Seraphina in a new light, then started to laugh.
"Dammit, Bozeh, it’s not funny," howled the halfling in protest.
"Then tell me, little one, what do you want me to do? I could give you what you want, but I'm not sure you would survive." Bozeh was nearly three times Seraphina's size, and she had no trouble deciphering what he meant. ~ within the novel as there isn't any chapters

"Zaryk" [Twisted Epiphany Series, Book 1] by C. A. Jonelle

Author's Book Description : One fatal moment tears Zaryk’s life apart and he struggles to cope with his loss and grief. Years later, with his band ‘Twisted Epiphany’ on the cusp of success, Zaryk is finding the answers in partying and alcohol. Enter Lyndsay, a shy college girl who gives Zaryk hope that there can be happy endings in life. But one night of passion ruins his dreams of something more meaningful and spoils their friendship. Misunderstandings drive them apart and Zaryk is soon lost in a different world as ‘Twisted Epiphany’ become ever more famous. Will he get the chance to tell Lyndsay how he feels? Or will Zaryk’s stardom and Lyndsay’s insecurities keep them apart?

A story of passion, love, loss and the pressures of fame, "Zaryk" is the first in the ‘Twisted Epiphany’ series that follows Zaryk, Zayne, Zayden, Deklan and Kreed as they take their band from small town success to world-wide phenomenon.

**Not intended for those under 18. Contains mature content.**

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. This is the beginning of one continuous saga. Since the beginning of college, Zaryk (Z) and Lyndsay have been best friends. Both are very attracted to one another but are afraid as to what will happen them afterwards if anything did happen between them. During one drunken night, they hook up. In the morning, they find everything changed between them, mostly because they don’t communicate with one another and Lyndsay takes off. Years pass and once they meet up again it seems they both want to start over while picking up where they left off. Yet will it be that easy to just forget past mistakes and start over? Or even if they can, will Lyndsay finally be able to open up to Z and speak from her heart?

It will keep you on your toes and throw major loops your way, so be prepared as not all of the surprises are pleasant. In truth, I’m still reeling a bit by everything that happens to Z or to those he cares about in this novel. In addition, while the sex scenes are intense and hot throughout this novel, I found it hard to come to terms with Z and Lyndsay relationship. Mostly because you don’t get to see their relationship grow, it was more like they were already together and then poor choices pulled them apart which forces the reader to just accept that and move on with the plot. And I found that hard to do.

Nevertheless, I liked the idea of Z and Lyndsay together. I understood where Lyndsay was coming from by being shy and how her defenses got in her way. Then while I liked that Z finally steps up in forcing her to open up and make a relationship between them work, I hated his poor choices in the beginning. Yet even though I feel like a “wishy-washy” reader with my affections for this novel, I am intrigued as to where this series will lead us next as it’s pretty open-ended.

I recommend this novel to those looking for a highly dramatic contemporary rocker romance!

“This is kind of awkward huh?” He leans his head back and looks over at me.
I giggle then clap my hand over my mouth.
Zaryk moves my hand away. “Boy, did I miss that adorable giggle of yours.”
He lays his hand on top of mine and my gaze snaps to his. A smile is on his lips and his eyes shine. I feel my cheeks burn red and I look away.
“I don‟t remember you being so shy.”
“You also weren‟t a famous rock star the last time I saw you. I don‟t want to embarrass myself.”
“I‟m the same person I was the last time.”
“I guess so.” ~ within Chapter 9 - titled 'Lyndsay'

Book Excerpt :

I growl loudly, echoing in the night air. “I’m not going to chase after you Lyndsay!”

Stopping, she turns to face me with a startled expression on her gorgeous face.

“What is it? Is he the reason you can’t get over Kendall and me?” I move closer to her.

“Yes.” Her answer is barely a whisper.

My heart drops into the pit of my stomach. The thought of anyone hurting her touches a nerve … a big nerve. I inch closer until I’m directly in front of her. Reaching up, I glide my fingers against her neck, rubbing my thumb along her jawline. She lifts her gaze to mine.

“Tell me how he hurt you. I want to understand where this fear is coming from.”

She twists her face out of my hands and I drop them to my side. Tears are glistening in her eyes. I can’t stand to see her like this and I can’t stand how she’s making me feel right now. I can feel the fire building deep inside me. Deklan appears at the exit.

Lyndsay turns to go back inside. I’m fed up with this shit, but I don’t want to lose her. I make one last attempt and grab her arm and turn her toward me. “If you leave, you might as well take my heart with you. I won’t need it anymore, because it won’t bother to beat without you.”

Deklan freezes and watches us, his face full of concern.

I let go of her arm and she turns back toward the building. She disappears and I feel a big part of me die inside.

Made the Grade: Frontiera Series, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 282 KB | Release Date: January 27, 2013 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: Smashwords

"Heart of Stone" [Frontiera Series, Book 1] by Cathryn Cade

My Book Summary : Stone has been a pirate for most of his life, one needed to be a pirate in the place he grew up to be able to survive, but since coming to the new planet of Frontiera he has created a place for himself in it's society that is more civilized then he once was. Nevertheless, he still has people (some being other pirates) after him and/or wants to steal what he has so he needs to be cautious with his dealings and those working for him. Yet when Rose (a sister of one of his employees that he has always been attracted to) comes to his door demanding information about where her brother is his world is thrown for a loop he never expected. Since now that he has Rose within reach his pirate ways start coming out making it so when the time comes he might not want to let her go...

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. Follow Stone & Rose as they go about creating a better life for themselves and those around them. A sizzling romance that keeps you on your toes! Rose is a very protective sister that finds herself in a situation that she actually wants to be in (minus the killing parts). Stone is a tricky guy who gets energized by Rose's innocent ways while he tries to protect those around him. They were a great match for each other!

I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys sci-fi romances and don't mind if they are quick reads.

Author's Series Extras : Put Your Promise in a Time Capsule

Book Teaser(s) :

She kept her gaze resolutely on his face. He looked so handsome with his hair sleeked back from his angular face—younger somehow.
He shrugged. "Fair enough. I'm sorry. Anyway, I tried to wake you, siren." Now he was frankly grinning at her. "You wouldn't stir. Reckon something tired you out."
And that, it seemed, was her apology. Fine, then. She was using him as a means to an end and then they were through. So what if he had given her four orgasms, each succeeding one the best she'd ever had?
Not that she had that many to compare. In fact, last night had more than doubled her pleasure. ~ within the novel as there isn't any chapters

"You should have stayed hidden," he gritted.
She frowned at him. "They would've found me anyway. They were going to search the ship."
Stone growled, knowing he had reverted to primitive man and unable to quell it. She'd confronted pirates, in her underthings. She was going to be the death of him. ~ within the novel as there isn't any chapters

Feasted On: Freakn’ Shifters Series, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 4338 KB | Release Date: July 1, 2011 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: Amazon.com

"Delicate Freakn’ Flower" [Freakn’ Shifters Series, Book 1] by Eve Langlais

Author's Book Description : Genre: Paranormal/Shapeshifter Multi-Partner Romance (MFM)

Dammit, just how many toes was she going to have to stomp on before people realized she was a delicate freakn’ flower?

Naomi doesn’t want to follow tradition and settle down with a violence-loving, chest thumping shapeshifter. She grew up in a household with five, testosterone laden brothers where none of the dishes ever matched, the ugly-as-sin furniture could withstand any catastrophe, and where crazy glue was bought by the case.

When fate—with a snicker—makes her meet not one, but two mates, Naomi digs her heels in and refuses to do what her wolf—and her body—demands. No way is she voluntarily allowing herself to get hitched to a pair of dumbass—totally hot and muscled—lacrosse players.

Can Ethan, the towering Kodiak bear, and Javier, the sexy, tanned jaguar convince this she-wolf that life with them won’t be all chaos? And can this delicate freakn’ flower unbend her prejudices enough to recognize she needs a pair of men who can handle her thorns—and her passion?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! A tough woman finds out what she's really looking for in a man, while dealing with the two men fate sent her.

Even though I don't typically like wishy-washy characters I still liked Naomi because she truly owned being the way she was, especially when she stated, “I’m such an indecisive ninny.” in Chapter 10. Together Javier & Ethan are Naomi's perfect counterparts, especially with how quickly they could settle her "ruffled feathers." This cute novel is great for fans of Ms. Langlais!

I recommend this novel to those who like paranormal romances!

“Shouldn’t you be leaving?” she asked with a pointed stare toward the door.
A shrug from massive shoulders answered her. “Make me.”
“Ooh,” she almost shrieked in exasperation. Only the pulsing of her painful head held her back. “Why are you both being so stubborn? Can’t you tell you’re not wanted?”
“My mama said the same thing to my dad when they first met,” Ethan admitted. “Not liking her answer, he tossed her over his shoulder and kept her prisoner in a cave for two weeks, making love to her numerous times a day until she finally admitted she loved him, too,” he added with a smug grin.
Naomi’s jaw dropped and her throat worked soundlessly for a moment. “You wouldn’t dare!” Her mouth said one thing, her pussy, drenching at his words, screamed another.
“Well, as you’ve mentioned a few times, I’m probably too dumb to know better. Although, don’t worry, because of the lacrosse season, maybe I’ll just handcuff you to a bed instead of finding a cave.”
“My family won’t stand for it!”
“Children, children,” Javier chided returning to them holding two open beers, and one tall glass of juice. “Can’t we all get along? After all, since our beasts have seen fit to join us in a ménage, we’ll be together a long, long time.”
“Over my dead body,” she growled.
“Not dead, but gagged can definitely be arranged,” Ethan grumbled.
“Hmm, a little kinky, but I’m not averse to the idea,” Javier added. ~ within Chapter 3

“So where’s the other Neanderthal, or is he the smart one and left?”
“Nope, dumber than a rock still,” Ethan announced walking into her bedroom with a tray.
Naomi’s eyes widened as she saw the logo from her favorite coffee house on the Styrofoam cups and at least four Danishes.
“How did you know?” she asked as she dove on the steaming java. She took a burning sip and sighed happily.
“Your mother called to check on you. We actually had a great chat,” Javier announced. He went to grab a lemon pastry and Naomi slapped his hand.
“Mine,” she growled.
“But there are four of them. Surely you can share one?”
She shook her head. “I don’t share, and I warn you, I bite.”
“Promise?” Javier leered, his eyes twinkling. ~ within Chapter 5

"Surfacing" [Swans Landing Series, Book 1] by Shana Norris

Author's Book Description : Sixteen-year-old Mara Westray has just lost her mother, and now, being shipped off to live with the father she doesn’t know is not how she imagined grieving. She’s already counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can leave the tiny island of Swans Landing.

But from the moment she steps off the ferry, nothing is as ordinary as it looks. Whispers of a haunting song on the wind make her see impossible things, and she isn’t sure she can trust her judgment about what is real and what isn’t anymore. Maybe she can’t even trust her judgment about quiet Josh Canavan, whose way of speaking in riddles and half-truths only confuses her more, luring her deeper into the secrets hidden beneath the ocean’s surface.

As she tries to unravel the events that led to her mom fleeing the island sixteen years ago, Mara finds that the biggest secret of all is only the beginning.

"Croc and the Fox" [Furry United Coalition (F.U.C.) Series, Book 3] by Eve Langlais

Author's Book Description : Genre: Paranormal/Shapeshifter Romance

Warning: An ornery croc discovers he does have a pulse when a hot to trot fox decides to latch on, and never let go. Tongue in cheek humor, sizzling moments and a tiny, evil villain await. Muahahaha.

A career military man, Viktor lives for the next mission – and his collection of weapons — but a raid on an experimental lab makes him an unwilling protector, mostly because he can’t peel Renee off. A cold blooded croc, he never intended to settle down, but he didn’t count on a foxy lady warming his heart.

The world outside the laboratory was a big scary place. Unsure of how to deal with it, Renee latches onto the biggest, baddest, and sexiest, warrior around. Sharp toothed and with ice in his veins, Viktor’s violent side should have sent her running, but instead, she finds the courage to face her fears –and tame the lizard.

When danger comes knocking, with the intention of turning her lizard into a high priced fashion accessory, will Renee embrace her foxy side and show a croc she’s got what it takes to be his mate?

And will they finally vanquish the evil known as mastermind?

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! An old croc learns knew tricks while opening up his heart to love and an "innocent" red fox. Together Viktor & Renee (Project, Project M87, Monique) are an adorable duo! From how they deal with their apparent, differences and the "mastermind" to their budding connection you cannot help but want to root for them.

This novel puts a great new twist on the F.U.C. Series, especially with the reveal of the "Mastermind!" I can't wait to see where this series will go next!!

I recommend this series and novel to those who enjoy paranormal erotic comedic romances!!

Book Teaser(s) :

“Where are we going?”
“Away from here.”
“Are you taking me to the labs?”
“Of course not.”
“Locking me in solitary?”
His jaw tightened. “No one will be locking you up, ever again.” Well, unless she broke the law, but he’d let someone else explain that to her when – and if – they ever released her to the world at large.
“So where are we going then?”
“Like I said, away from here.”
“But I don’t want to leave.”
“Too bad. I say you have to. And since I’m bigger than you, what I say goes.” A childish retort for her juvenile arguing.
“This is kidnapping.”
“Rescue,” he corrected.
“You can’t do this.”
“I can and am.” He jogged up the several flights of stairs, ignoring the strange looks he got from the other FUC operatives wandering the place, photographing and boxing anything they found of interest. He also ignored the former prisoner’s demands to put her down. To go away. And to do something anatomically impossible with himself.
“Where did you learn such language?” he finally asked, reaching the top level. The vulgarity of her speech, especially coming from such a delicate looking cutie, surprised him.
“The guards. The doctors. The others in the cells with me. I even know some of them in Spanish. Would you like to hear them?” she replied sweetly.
“Sure, my boys could stand to learn some new ones. Feel free to shout as many as you like because we’re going outside now.”
“No!” she yelled. Viktor stumbled as she buried her face in his lower back and wrapped her arms around his middle, tighter than the anaconda he dated a few years back.
“Can’t breathe,” he joked.
Her grip didn’t loosen in the slightest. Faced with a dilemma, Viktor didn’t immediately exit the building. If this were a soldier, or agent, acting like a great big wuss bag, he would have ignored the terror and thrown them out to meet the source. But, his mystery lady was a victim. Somehow he doubted Kloe, or his coworkers, would approve of him just tossing her into the sunshine given her fear. And, a teensy tiny part of him, didn’t want to scare her further. A tiny part. ~ within Chapter 2

“Hey, red. Nice to see you again.”
Grinning, Renee waved back.
“Mary said you had news,” Viktor stated.
“I do. And I don’t. Also known as good and bad.”
Renee’s fingers tightened around his.
“What’s the bad news?” he asked.
“I couldn’t find a name for her.”
“I have one. Renee. Isn’t it pretty? Viktor gave it to me. The name that is. Apparently, I’m too young for him to teach me about sex.” Beaming, she didn’t understand why her announcement made him bang his head on the wall.
Jessie choked and whirled away from them, shoulders hunched and shaking.
“Is she alright?” Renee whispered. In the cells, when someone shook, it usually meant something bad was about to happen. Or gross. It would suck to lose her clean state to projectile vomit, or worse.
“She is fine for the moment, but I can’t vouch for her state later,” he growled. ~ within Chapter 6

"My Captor, My Love" by Leah Matheny

My Book Summary : Recently Danielle (Dani) lost some weight making men notice her more. So, when on vacation in Mammoth Lakes with her friend Dani never expects to have men fighting over her, let alone kidnap her from the horseback riding group she was with to take her back to their village.

Throughout the week it takes to get to the village Dani comes to realize she is deeply attracted to one of her captors, Honon, but no matter what happens between them Dani is determine to find a way to escape him and his friends. She isn't able to escape before they make it to their village but by that time, her feelings for Honon have grown even more. Nevertheless, misunderstandings happen leaving Honon mad at Dani and his friends not wanting to believe anything they have to say. As time passes at the village even Dani still misses her friends in her normal life and wants to go home, she learns that she likes the village and the people who live there. Dani starts thinking that if she could just change Honon's mind about her (with the help of his parents and friends) she might be willing to stay there permanently. However, will she ever be able to get back together with Honon, will he ever believe her, and will Dani ever be able to stay in the village without the need to want to go back to everything she use to know??

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars, this story is a wonderful and unique take as a contemporary romance, that deals with Native American's kidnapping women for their village based in the twenty-first century. I really liked how the plot is mostly from Dani's perspective and then at the point when you really might hate Honon you get his point-of-view, pretty much redeeming himself in my book. After read the 'Author Book Description' I never expected this book to have the twists that it did or to enjoy it as much as I did!

Dani is a really inspiring character because of the way she "grows" throughout this novel. Honon is very passionate but at times I really hated him. However, the village, Honon's friends, and Dani's best friends are who really livened up this novel making it so you just have to finish it!! I cannot wait to see where Liwanu & Karen's relationship will go in "My Perfect Man." Also, I hope Kosumi will find someone for him soon too since he is such a sweet character. ♥

I recommend this novel to anyone who would like to read about a very unique contemporary romance. =0)

Book Teaser(s) :

He walked to the fire, grabbed food, and brought some back to me. But I just sat there, not able to eat while I kept looking all around me to make sure Meanie wasn't near. Every once in awhile Honon nudged me and pointed to my food, so I'd take a bite; but my head whipped around every time I heard something. The men just sat talking. I was almost finished eating when I heard a twig snap somewhere behind me and I just about jumped in Honon's lap. He put his arm around me and rubbed my arm, giving comfort.
I never saw Meanie return. Honon turned to lie down and brought me down with him, holding me close to him. I finally felt safe. ~ within Chapter 4

“Dani, you seem like a very intelligent young woman,” Sitala said, taking hold of my hands. “You also seem to be blocking out the fact that you can never leave. You will spend the rest of your life here.”
Panic rose instantly, and I stood up and started walking backwards. “No...you can‟t do this to me. I have a job I have to get back to, I have friends...I have a life!” I had to get out of there. My head started to spin. ~ within Chapter 7

"Dragon's Redemption" [Dragon Lore Series, Book 2] by Eden Ashe

Author's Book Description : The one female he isn't supposed to want, is the only one he's ever needed.

When her brother goes missing, everything in Lily Cage’s world turns upside down. Born a Hunter female, the last thing she needs is an attraction to Dallas, the scariest dragon in existence. The one known as The Destroyer. With peace between the Hunters and Dragons hanging by a thread, one wrong move on Lily or Dallas’s part could catapult them all back into war. But with Dallas playing by his own rules and someone on the outside decimating her life, they have a choice–stand and fight, or lose everything they never realized they wanted.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! About a thousand years ago, Dallas (The Destroyer) lost his family and potential mate to a hunter wiping them out. Now, at his King’s wedding, he meets a hunter who will change his life forever by making him wish for more. Yet, is he willing to sacrifice everything for this little hunter?

Intense and dramatic, this intriguing novel keeps its readers gripped in suspense until the very end! While I loved Dallas, Lily, and their developing relationship I had a hard time following the secondary plot, probably because this was the first novel in this series that I’d read. However, even with the confusion and at times feeling like the secondary plot dragged a bit, I absolutely could NOT get enough of Dallas and Lily! Together they made a dynamic duo who fit each other perfectly. I’d love to read more about them as this series continues.

I recommend this novel to those looking for a highly suspenseful, slightly erotic, paranormal dragon romance!!

“So you want me to love you, but you refuse to feel anything more than like for me?”
He worked his jaw. “I’m assuming by the look on your face yes is the wrong answer?”
She growled at him. An honest-to-the-gods growl that made him smile as fire and temper and the need to hurt him leapt into her eyes. There it was. He’d known she had magic buried inside of her somewhere.
“Yes,” she ground out. “It’s the wrong answer.” ~ within Chapter 16

Feasted On: Ritter Werewolves Series, Book 1

"Before the Moon Rises" [Ritter Werewolves Series, Book 1] by Catherine Bybee

My Book Summary : Towards the end of her night shift Janet--a nurse at the county hospital--deals with her last unconscious patient, Max, of the night only to have him wake up on her in the middle of his exam and have her world completely change when he asks her out for breakfast. Against her better judgment, Janet agrees to bring him home so he can change, into some clothes of his own, before they head out to eat. Once at his place she finds there is more to him than meets the eye, especially after a little later on in the day when he agrees to protect her from whoever broke into her home...

However, Max has a big secret he's keeping--he's a werewolf. And after meeting her at the hospital, he knows there is something special about her that draws him to her. Yet when he finds that his enemy has targeted Janet to be his next victim, Max decides to protect her by any means necessary. Now if he can just keep his secret while they get to know each other everything might be okay...

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! This is a story about an unusual meeting and beginning of a romance between two soul mates. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Max and Janet. They were a fun, speed-loving couple.

The only things I'm curious about are what happened to them once the story ended (meaning I wish there was an epilogue) and how did Max get all of his money? Was his family rich? It's a question that's been plaguing me ever since I finished the novella.

I recommend this novella to anyone who likes paranormal and werewolf romances!

Book Teaser(s) :

“So, Janet, what movie should we watch?”
Janet followed him into the den, completely at home with her personal bodyguard. She turned her attention to the movie selections. They were entirely male. Not one ‘chick flick’ to be found. Picking something at random, she handed it to Richard.
He checked the title and starting laughing.
“What is it?”
“Oh, man. You have no idea.” He kept up the chuckles and fired up the DVD. “I’ll get the popcorn.”
Richard left the room, laughing hysterically.
Janet tucked her feet under her and removed the throw from the back of the couch. The opening credits of “An American Werewolf in London” hit the screen.
Richard returned five minutes later, though the telltale smell of popcorn hit her senses first. “I hope you added extra butter.”
“A woman after my own heart,” he said before plopping down the bowl of popcorn.
A yelp behind the couch had Janet tense into a rigid sit. ~ within Chapter 4

"Mates Since Birth" [Half-Breed Shifter Series, Book 3] by Miranda Stowe (aka Linda Kage)

My Book Summary : When Ari was born, Dane was seven-years-old and thought he was only protecting her when he marked her not long after she was born, not realizing doing so would link them forever. However, once Dane reached puberty (while Ari was only 5 years old), Ari's father spirited his family away to start a new life, with hopes that if Ari & Dane were separated for a long while their bond would weaken.

Twenty years later, Dane has finally tracked down Ari and after so long of being unintentionally bonded he wants to find a way to break their bond so they each can be free. Yet, what if, once Ari learns the truth, she doesn't want to be separated from Dane? Will they be able to find a solution that they can agree too? Hopefully, before others come to tear them apart for good...

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars, two young mates grow up to find that distance does make the heart grow fonder! I was thoroughly intrigued with this novella, from the erotic scenes to the sweet emotions surrounding this spicy couple. I could not get enough.

However, even though I know Ms. Stowe needs to build up the series to what novel is coming up next, I wish there was more in the ending/epilogue about Dane & Ari. I just liked them together so much!

I recommend this novella to anyone who likes quickish paranormal erotic romances!

Book Teaser(s) :

Shoving an irritating shock of dark hair out of her face, she once again held her hands up toward the lowest branch of the oak tree in her front yard, straining on tiptoes to reach the stuck kitten.
The feline laid its ears back flat and hissed at her, inching away on its precarious ledge.
“Oh, come on,” she muttered. “I don’t smell that much like a dog, do I?”
Damn it, she did.
With a frustrated rumble, Ari glared. If anything, her growl alarmed the tabby even more. Her new pet mewled out a pitiful yowl as it leapt up onto an even higher branch.
“Fine,” Ari muttered, setting her hands on her hips. “Be that way. You can sit up there and rot for all I care.” But she really did care. She wanted the stupid animal to at least like her. ~ within Chapter 1

Dane’s nostrils flared and his throat worked. Instead of moving in closer though, he pulled back and glanced at the needle in her hand. “You’re not seriously going to poke me with that thing, are you?”
She grinned and set the needle on her old nightstand. “No. Dad and I never had the heart to tell Mom how fast we heal. She found so much joy in tending to our wounds, and since we loved her attention, we let her to do whatever she wanted.” Lifting her arm to show him a faded scar where her mother had stitched the underside of her elbow once, she pointed out the mark. “We call them love patches.”
He smiled fondly and barely touched the scar, sending a thrill through her that shot out all her hot points. “Love patches,” he murmured, lifting his gaze to hers. His eyes lit with warmth. “I like that.”
The intensity between them was more than she could take. ~ within Chapter 4

"Play With Me" by Piper Shelly

My Book Summary : Liza & Tony have been best friends since third grade when they bonded over their mutual love for Tom & Jerry cartoons. Over the years, Liza's feelings for Tony have grown into a major infatuation. Now years later, a few weeks before Liza has to go back to high school, she finds that their relationship has changed once Tony returns from his summer soccer camp. All because Tony likes another girl--one who is into soccer as much as he is!

Therefore, as a way to get Tony's focus more on her again, Liza decides on trying out for their co-ed soccer team. However, her plans may backfire when instead of gaining Tony's focus, Liza gains the focus of Ryan the hottest guy in school and Captain of the soccer team! Nevertheless, is she willing to give up her longtime love for her best friend just for a guy who can sweep her away with a heated glance? Or will her life get even more complicated?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars--a sweetly intense short story about a girl who thinks she's in love with her best friend but when she starts hanging out with a guy who pushes all her buttons she finds him hard to resist. This novel was passionate, intense, and charming when it came to Liza's growing relationship Ryan, along with the friendship between Liza & Tony. Ryan was a keeper from the beginning but I liked how the novel plays out the conflicts that come between the characters. The plot was a little like "Catching Jordan" except for who the heroine ends up with at the very end, and of course that the sport the guys like to play in this novel is soccer not football.

My only big issue with this novel was how rushed it all felt at times. Yet that could be because I just didn't want it to end. I can't wait to read Tony's novel!

I recommend this novel to anyone who likes reading YA romances!

Suddenly his lips twitched.
“I can feel you staring at me,” he said in the softest wake-up voice I’d ever heard. “I only hope you’re a girl and not one of the drunken guys.”
My breath caught in my chest. I jerked my hand back from him. Not taking his arm away from his face yet, he reached down with his other hand. And slowly ran his palm over my naked thigh in the direction of my bum.
“Yep, definitely female,” he purred.
In panic, I held his hand in place. “Move another inch, Hunter, and you’re a dead man.”
“Matthews?” Surprised amusement filled his chuckle. Unlike me, he seemed relaxed enough.
A strange heat rose from my gut to my head as I studied his hand on my bare skin. Wearing nothing but jeans and a black wrist watch, he looked more like a guy from the many posters on the walls of Caroline Davis’ bedroom than the boy I knew from school.
I felt awkward for not letting go of his hand on my leg, but I was too scared he’d continue the path he’d started if I did.
“Tell me, Matthews,” he said as he dropped his arm to the pillow and tilted his head to study me with warm eyes. “Why do I have you in my bed, when I’m not allowed to touch you?”
“I didn’t know there were strawberries in the soda,” I whined.
His brow furrowed, his lips pursed. “Come again?” ~ within Chapter 5

"Ravenous" [Lake City Stories Series, Prequel] by Annie Nicholas

Author's Book Description : Suffer the hunger.

Pia Blyton wants it all. A steady boyfriend, love and her independence. But to ignore her succubus nature is to welcome chaos. Every three days she must orgasm to feed. Bad sex isn’t an option. Stave off the hunger for too long and her demon side peeks out, and its tastes are much less discerning than hers.

One bad day, one wrong decision, and her demon takes control of her libido and kisses all her best intentions goodbye.

Brokenhearted and ashamed, Pia is dragged home to Lake City by Zur-Sin, a vampire her father paid to find her. When Sin tries delivering Pia to her concerned family, her façade cracks. She can’t face them after what she’s done.

Ever the businessman, Sin offers Pia a compromise. She can stay with him, and he will teach her to control her hunger. All he wants is her body, and half of her father’s empire, in return.

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! This novella made me fall in love with Zur-Sin (Sin) even more! =0)

I know this is a prequel for the series, but I think it makes you like and understand this novella better if you read "Starved For Love," book 1 of this series, first. This prequel makes you understand how Pia got involved with Sin, Cooper, and John in the first place, which in turn made me like/hope for Sin and Pia's relationship for the future.

Overall, I really liked this novella and it excites me to see where this series will go next!

I recommend this prequel and series to anyone who has an open mind, who likes paranormal erotic dramas that have comedic twists, and are based around a hopeless romantic.
