"Trinity" [de La Vega Cats Series, Book 1] by Lauren Dane

Book Teaser:

"Renee, honey? Visitors are here. For you. You're going to be so surprised." Galen edged closer, scenting the copper of her blood. Her palms bled, smearing the red against the glass.
"Get out of me," she whispered. "You can't have me. You can't have them!" she screamed and fell but he was fast enough to catch her. ~ within Chapter 9

Feasted On: The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 4

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 607 KB | Release Date: June 2009 | Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca

"Outcast" [The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 4] by Cheryl Brooks

My Book Summary : After being captured, when he was only seventeen and his planet destroyed, Lynx was sold to be a slave to a harem of women (for sex or whatever they asked for). At first he thought it wasn't a bad deal. However, after a while scrounging for food for himself, having very little sleep, and dealing with women who just used and abused him on an hourly basis over a ten year period ... really changes his perspective.

Once he is sold again, this time to a mine merchant, and then set free after putting in his time, he is ready for peace, quiet, and NO women around him.

After he gets to a new planet, Terra Minor, he finds that the only job available is to work for a women, Bonnie. He doesn't want to, everything in him rebels in doing so, but if there is no jobs and the laws on the planet say you have to have a job or land to be able to live on the planet, then there is literally nothing else for him to do.

Bonnie and Lynx have a terrible first meeting. Over time it doesn't get much better even with Bonnie trying to make him feel comfortable. Yet even when Bonnie tries her best to stop from getting involved with Lynx (emotionally or otherwise) it's hard. Soon their relationship gets to a level that neither expected. And they realize that they might not want to give up on each other afterwards.

However, there is an unseen force who wants nothing more to have things change back to the way they were. The question is will those plans work or will they fall to pieces?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars -- this series takes your imagination to new heights and makes you wish that it might just be reality. Bonnie and Lynx make a great pair--sweet, smart and feisty--you couldn't ask for more! Plus, finding new information on old characters is one of the things that I love even more about this series! Jack & Cat are in each book in one way or another, and the others are either mentioned or apart of the reading landscape too, so it's kinda like your reading more then one story at a time. Very entertaining!

My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 1

Book Teaser(s) :

His rejection of her was so complete, so all-encompassing; he not only despised her, but her entire gender!
Unfortunately, they still needed one another. Bonnie knew that one call to Drummond might get Lynx a different job, or even deported, but that was one of those things that only a woman scorned would do. Bonnie wasn't about to have him kicked off the planet just because he didn't like women. She would get over him. ~ within Chapter 6

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 172 KB | Release Date: September 2011 | Publisher: Self-Published

"Eternal Guardian" [Children of the Goddess Series, Book 4.5] by R. G. Alexander

My Book Summary : Max wakes up in a place he's not familiar and thinks he might just be dead. Especially when:

the last thing he remembers is being in a fight and getting hurt
all he can smell is his own blood
he's all alone or so he thinks

However, when his dream women appears, he starts to second guess everything that's around him.

Once he finds out where he is, the question now is why is he there and how can he get back? But once he gets closer to his dream women will he ever want to return again?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, a short, sweet novel that tells you what happens/happened to Max and leads you into book 5 in this series. Max is hot as always. Add in his new comrades and mate and you get a really interesting plot that makes me can't wait until the next one comes out. Check out my giveaway for this book by clicking here!! Don't forget to comment and answer the question to be in the running!!

Book Teaser(s) :

Why, of all the beautiful things he'd seen in his lifetime, his subconscious taken him to this? Something endless. Lonely. Harsh.
Was that what he was, what this place saw when it looked inside him?
What she saw?
Perhaps she was right. Hadn't he secretly envied the lives of his charges? Somewhere in the hidden part of his heart, hadn't he heard whispers of discontent at the thought that his life was set? That he would stand alone, a watchful guardian with no one to see him, love him as Truebloods and Weres loved their mates? ~ within Chapter 2

Disappointmentville: Nina Decker Series, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 310 KB | Release Date: February 2011 | Publisher: Self-Published

"Glimmer" [Nina Decker Series, Book 1] by Vivi Anna

My Book Summary : Nina is an ER nurse who has been hiding a secret for as long as she can remember, she's half-human half-fae. She actually hates her fae half, mostly because of her mother. However, recently werewolves have told their existence to the world, and she's now worried how much longer it'll be before she's found out too.

Other then the fae (from her mother's home of Nightfall) who have plans to kill Nina and her father, her life seems to be going great especially with a certain werewolf who has set his eyes on her. Until she finds out that there is a war coming, between the fae and the werewolves, and she is stuck in the middle. Now who can she trust??

My Book Review : 2 out of 5 stars, this novel was okay. I mean it had a decent plot, but it seemed to be a little bit written like "Storm Born" [Dark Swan Series, Book 1] by Richelle Mead --- which for me was NOT a good thing. The only thing that Nina had going for her, that I could see, was her grudge against her mother, as it gave her a backbone and made the story more interesting. Hopefully the next story in this series will be better, but if it's anything like this novel, then I don't have much hope for it.

Book Teaser(s) :

I expected him to kiss me. I wanted him to kiss me...no, needed him to. I had an insatiable thirst and Severin was the only thing that could quench it. But he didn't. Instead, he did another sweep of his thumb over my lip, then dropping his hand, he took a step away.
"Good night, Nina." ~ within Chapter 7

Made the Grade: Just a Little White Lie by Lynnette Hallberg

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Kindle Edition - File Size: 468 KB | Release Date: September 12, 2011 | Publisher: Carina Press

"Just a Little White Lie" by Lynnette Hallberg

My Book Summary : Lucinda (Lucy or Luce) has just walked in on her, now ex, fiancé lip-locked and doing a whole lot more with his ex-girlfriend inside the church they were just about to get married in. Now completely upset especially with what her father says about it she runs off, after telling her now ex-fiancé that it's definitely over between them. Trying to get as many miles between her and her ex as possible, she comes to another upset when her vehicle decides to break down on her while on the highway and she has no way to get help.

Thankfully a great looking guy, Jake, just happens to stop by to see if he can do anything. However, he recognizes her, though unbeknownst to her not just for her heiress reputation but for what he was battling with Lucy's father through his law firm. Even though Jake has a background with her family, he helps her out.

Soon though, helping her out becomes into something more when their attraction comes into play, and he asks her to help him out, during her week off. Lucy agrees, as she decides to pretend to be Jake's fiancée for his family. Since he's not ready to settle down, but his family really wants to see him married off, and with his grandmother Hattie getting up there in age, about 89-years-old, he can't seem to deny them anymore.

However, after one 'little white lie' grows into two, and more, once other people try to come between them. Also, with the time between them almost ending will their hearts be safe from each other once this is over and would they be willing to make their lie come true?? Or will they just say goodbye and let their pride get in the way of what could be love??

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars!! Jake and Lucy are a sweet, funny, and caring couple, who I couldn't get enough of!! They made a great pair that I thoroughly enjoyed reading about!!

The only thing that I didn't like was when it seemed things were working out the next day Lucy would take two steps back. Very annoying to say the least.

Otherwise, Jake and his family (and friends) really saved this story into one I could not get enough of and, of course, the chemistry between Jake and Lucy (when they were 'on') flew off the page! This is a great novel for someone looking for a romance that has a lot of drama and layers to it! =0)

Book Teaser(s) :

Lucinda Darling spelled trouble with a capital T.
He hadn’t lied to her. He had brought strays home before. A few of them had even been the two-legged variety. But they’d been guys. Friends who had needed a place to park for a day or two, usually while the women in their lives cooled off. Forgave them for whatever transgression they’d committed.
What he had here, though, was a stray who would tempt a saint. And he sure as heck had never claimed to be that.
On top of that, regardless of who her father was, she was a hurt and very vulnerable stray.
He’d be a heel to try anything with her.
That kiss had been over the line.
He wished he could regret it. He didn’t. ~ within Chapter 5

Made the Grade: Pack Seduction Series, Book 2

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 153 KB | Release Date: June 2011 | Publisher: Evernight Publishing

"Freya's Mates" [Pack Seduction Series, Book 2] by Stacey Espino

My Book Summary : This story takes up right where, "Claiming Their Mate", left off. Freya has just left her sister, Carna, not wanting to be a burden to her sister and her sister's new mates, and now she's at Club Frenzy into a world of trouble of her own. Or at least this is what she thinks after she tries to skip out on a meal, and gets dragged to the owner's office, who just happens to be a hot and sexy lion shifter, named Gideon. Soon she finds herself with two hot shifters saying that she is their mate and a piece of her heart pining for a human she seems forbidden to love. Will she be able to have all three of her men or will her heart be broken forever?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, this story really complemented the first book in this series. Plus, it was steamy and hot just enough for you to get addicted to this sexy trio of men and their sweet little wolf. From the talk about the third sister in this story, I'm definitely curious as to what the next book will hold.

My Previous Interview with this Author : August 2011

My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 1

Book Teaser(s) :

"Gideon! Shit." Vincent climbed off the bed, tossing a blanket over the princess before facing him. "It's not what it looks like."
"You were about to fuck her."
He shrugged. "Maybe. But I have a good reason. Actually I need to talk with you about it."
"Tell me now, Vincent. My patience is wearing thin."
"She's my mate. At least I think she is."
Freya sat up in the bed, a scowl marring her delicate features. "You think? That doesn't inspire much confidence in me, especially when you were ready to mark me for life."
"You, my little wolf, should keep quiet. In one day you've managed to take hold of my two best men, yet you fight me at every turn." ~ within Chapter 5
