Once Michael wakes up too and sees her, he decides to kidnaps her and lock her up in his cabin. Soon, even though he is her kidnapper, Shelley finds that he treats her better then anyone ever has before. But will Michael ever let her go?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. This novel's plot is creative, intriguing, and I cannot wait until I read the next novel to see where it will go. However, I'm not quite sure I liked how short it was, I think it would of been better if it was a bit longer.
Book Teaser(s) :
“Hey," she said.
He swallowed. Though she wasn't naked like he was, his eyes roved over her body. "Are you all right? I didn't scratch you, did I?" he asked, his voice serious.
Shelley yawned, stretched, and sat up. She giggled at his desperate expression. "You were a perfect puppy."
He jerked his head. "Puppy?" ~ within Chapter 3

My Book Summary : Christina (Chris) has just started a new job as a high school math teacher and the girl's tennis coach, making plans to start a new life. And with her past behind her she can finally move on .... right?
When Chris meets Brett, the high school football coach, for the first time she already knows she wants nothing to do with him. Especially since after her first few times talking with him he seems arrogant and selfish, not to mention that he used to be a pro athlete--which is already a major red mark against him. However, for Brett, after getting to know Chris a bit, he'll do his best to prove to her that he's the guy for her.
Now, after a while of spending time together, and complying to their attraction for each other, Brett will have to prove to Chris that what they have is more then just an affair. But will Chris agree or be ready to take that next step??
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, it was a cute/sweet novel but I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. I mean the main characters were good and the plot was okay, but around 2/3s of the way in it was just WAY to dragged out. I got really annoyed with Chris. I mean I could understand her motives but I just felt like shaking her at some points. I did love the secondary characters, the last chapter and epilogue though, those redeemed the book for me.
I recommend it for those who want a light read that's a romance too.
“What the hell was that?” The kid wasn’t even watching the damn ball. Tossing his clipboard down, he crossed the field. As the grass crunched beneath his Nikes, he noticed that one by one, his team’s heads were turning. And they weren’t looking his way.
Following their line of vision, he found the distraction. The damn tennis team, running the perimeter of the football field in some half-assed formation, following their fearless leader. They weren’t looking at the field, weren’t yelling or causing a scene. Just concentrating on keeping up with Chris. ~ within Chapter 7

Oh, this is war.
Regretting the loss of her pasta for a nanosecond, she tossed the remainder of the contents in his face. Witnessing his wide-eyed shock the moment before the dish hit him with a splat was vastly more satisfying than eating the rest of the pasta. Of course, he wouldn’t take that one lying down.
Food was thrown, insults without heat were yelled, and before long they were completely out of ammo but for what covered their face, hair and clothing. She smelled like Sunday brunch at Olive Garden. ~ within Chapter 13

"Lord of the Vampires" [Royal House of Shadows Series, Book 1] by Gena Showalter
My Book Summary : Nicolai has lost everything. His family. His crown, title and throne. His body. His abilities (magic). And his memories. He has no idea who he was before he was bought on the Slave Market. However, he is determined to gain his freedom, seek his vengeance (for what he doesn't know), and get his revenge for what has been done to him since he was bought. To do all of this he needs help. So, he send out the magic within him, that he was able to reach, to find a women who was not tainted by 'The Queen of Hearts' madness. In doing so, Jane came into his world.
Jane is a human. However, she has worked for a government agency for years so she knows about the dual world (just not how to cross it), vampires, and some of the other supernatural creatures. And since she has been having steamy dreams of Nicolai over the past couple of months, she's not worried (completely) about how she got there. But the 'why' of it she is curious about...
Once she realizes what Nicolai's plans are, she agrees to help him.
When fighting for their lives and being in constant close proximity, their attraction for each other in undeniable. But when the time comes for Nicolai to choose between his duty and vengeance or Jane will he be able to?? And will he decide to betray the one person who helped him regain everything he's lost?
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! I wasn't able to resist the Dark Seducer anymore then the women in the book did! It was an addicting read, that I couldn't seem it get enough of. Plus, the ending was great too!! The plot was enticing, Jane was a colorful character from her previous life to the changes that she goes through, and Nicolai is many a girl’s fantasy!! If you’re into the science fiction/paranormal drama then I highly recommend this book to you!!
God. How moronic she sounded. Yes this, and yes that. It was just, he'd fried her circuits. She was on top of him, poised over his cock. And she ached. Ached like a drug addict in need of a fix. Why else would she have practically thrown herself at a vampire? ~ within Chapter 4
"What were you chanting when you gave me your blood?"
"More of my vampire magic. I cast a healing spell to aid the powers of my blood."
She sniffled, her nose stuffy. "It was better than Vicodin."
"Vicodin?"
"A painkiller from my world."
"A killer of pain. Do you love him?" The words were growled.
A burst of unexpected humor gave her strength. "No. In fact, he was hard to shake. He, uh, stalked me, that kind of thing. I had to pretend he didn't exist." ~ within Chapter 11
