  • "A Taste for a Mate" [Redwood Pack Series, Book 2] by Carrie Ann Ryan

    Book Teaser:
    “Do you want to scare her away? Let’s get to know her first, see if she is a good match, other than that incredible cinnamon scent. I’ll talk to Adam and find out everything I can about her. I am the Beta; I cannot put my Pack in jeopardy.”
    God, he really sucked at this. This time he needed to put on his big wolf panties and actually ask her out.
    “Then we could mark her.”
    He snorted at his wolf. Yeah, that was taking it slow. ~ within Chapter 1

    Feasted On: Return of the Rose by Theresa Ragan

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 654 KB | Release Date: March 2011 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: Amazon.com

    "Return of the Rose" by Theresa Ragan (aka T. R. Ragan)

    My Book Summary : In 1420, an Earl's wife gave birth to twin girls, which should be a joyous occasion, except for the fact that one of the girls was very sick and wasn't going to live long. Therefore, the Earl decided to take the babe to see a witch in hopes that she would be able to save his child. The witch agrees to do so, however, the Earl would need to give the girl up since she plans to send the girl through time.

    Twenty-four years later Morgan helps her adopted mother out at their antique shop in the twenty-first century. One item in their shop that has always held Morgan's attention, which is a knight's armor. Recently she just found out who the knight was and what happened to him. Later that day, on her 24th birthday, she happens to be locking up the shop and saying goodnight to "her knight" when a storm picks up and she gets sent through time.

    Now Morgan finds herself in medieval times dealing with people who believe her to be someone else, being informed that she’d be getting married to a Lord who wants nothing to do with her, and trying to fit into a world, she's not familiar with. Nevertheless, this is the first time in her life that she really has made friends with anyone, let alone most of the people in the castle. In addition, she finds that the Lord isn't as bad as she originally thought but should she even tempt herself with falling in love when the possibility of being sent back to the twenty-first century at any time??

    My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! This compelling, entertaining, adventure of a novel is one that you won't want to put down! I LOVED the plot---from the whole thing about the Earl sending his daughter away with hopes of her getting better and returning to Morgan finding herself in a world she's not familiar with and learning the ropes to the epic love between the two main characters---it was just soo good!!!

    About the Characters:
    • Morgeanna (Morgan): Spirited. Smart. Has a very big heart. Uses her knowledge to help out in any way she can. Hates horses.

    • Derek: The Lord of Braddock. Broody. Has a reputation as being repulsive looking because he doesn't show his face that often to people who don't live at Braddock castle. Tries to take care of everyone around him. Can't get over his past.

    • Amanda: Morgan's twin sister.

    • Emmon: A young knight who thinks badly of woman because of what Derek taught him.

    • Odelia: Morgan's maid. She's sweet and feisty for an old gal.

    • Leonie: A deceitful, money/title hungry, wench.

    • Matti & Hugo: A sweet couple who's main goal lately is to make sure that Derek will marry a good woman.

    • Henry: He is a young King Henry VI. Good-natured. Likes Derek as a comrade. Eccentric.

    • Otgar: He is an OGRE just like his name sounds to me. And a pig!

    • Robert: Amanda's lover. Because he thinks Morgan is Amanda he doesn't take no for an answer and keeps pursuing her.

    This was really a delightful read and I was very intrigued with how the epilogue is written since it ties up all of the loose ends.

    I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys historical and/or time-travel romance books!! Or to anyone who just wants to read a good romance book that will put a smile on their face. =0)

    Book Teaser(s) :
    “You must listen to me, Robert. I’m not who you think I am. I’ve heard about the love you and Amanda have for each other. That’s why you need to find her. She’s probably out there somewhere waiting for you.”
    He hardly flinched at the sincerity of her words. She was beginning to see the hopelessness of convincing him or anyone else of her cataclysmic experience. “My name is Morgan Hayes,” she said wearily, “and I’m from another time...the year 2011.”
    “We both know you are an atrocious liar.” A smile tugged at his lips and his hands fell to her shoulders. “You listen to me now. Your father’s people are forgiving and their love for you is deep. If you leave with me, they will understand.”
    She shook her head. “I’m sorry.” ~ within Chapter 4
    He set his mouth full upon hers before she could say another word. A few men guffawed at their lord’s actions, but most were intent on finishing their meal and seeking out their own mate.
    Derek’s eyes glimmered with mischief as he pulled away. “Oh, ‘tis only you.”
    She elbowed him in the ribs. “You think you’re funny, do you?”
    “Aye, that I do.”
    “Well, I was going to tell you that I missed you, but never mind now.”
    Derek shrugged.
    Morgan frowned. There was something insufferable about a man being so arrogantly cocksure of himself. “So you don’t care whether I missed you or not?”
    “‘Tis written all over your face. What need do I hath for you to speak of it when it is as clear as rainwater that you pined for me?”
    “I didn’t pine for you, I...” ~ within Chapter 10

    Made the Grade: In The Flesh by J. R. Barrett

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 263 KB | Release Date: February 2012 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: Amazon.com

    "In The Flesh" by J. R. Barrett (aka Julia Rachel Barrett)

    My Book Summary : Because of the flu going around at the hospital, where Sydney works, she has been working for a few days straight and her boss finally tells her to take a few days off. However, instead of finding a place to stay the night close by the hospital Sydney decides to drive in the middle of a major snowstorm back to her ranch on the edge of town. When she's not far from her house the storm picks up and there is a blinding flash not far from her .... changing her life forever ....

    .... and for Ze’ev (Wolf), a being from another world, his "life" is just beginning.

    My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, within the genre of reading about epic loves this is one romance that catches you doesn't let you go. There are quite a few twists in this story, they keep you on your toes, while you also some scenes that are very steamy. I enjoyed reading about how Wolf finds the things around them and how he relearns things again.

    Nevertheless, I didn't really enjoy the ending in this book. I mean it's a good ending that mostly wraps up everything in the book. However, if the author gave more of Wolf's side of the events, I think I would have enjoyed the book more.

    Yet, with that being said I would still recommend this book to whoever's read J. R.'s "Incorporeal" and/or to those who like reading paranormal romance books. Especially the type of books that deal with soul mates! =0)

    Book Teaser(s) :
    He’s like a little kid, or maybe he has brain damage. Christ, I don’t know which, but I don’t think he’s dangerous, just enthusiastic.
    Enthusiasm or no, I need to get him back inside and covered up.

    Syd touched his face to get his attention. “We need to go back inside,” she said, pointing toward the house. “It’s too cold out here and you don’t have any clothes on.”
    “Clothes?” Eyes wide, he looked down, as if his nakedness suddenly registered. With his free hand, he tugged at her sweatpants. “Clothes.”
    “Yes, right, clothes. You need some clothes.” ~ within Chapter 2
    “You know as much as I do. I don’t know who or what I am.” He took a deep breath and blew it out. “I remember how to speak, how to eat. I remember the taste of pancakes.” He smiled and Sydney smiled back. “I remember snow. An image passes unbidden in my mind from time to time, like a still photo. I see a small girl. I believe her name is Sara. Who she is and what she is to me remains a mystery.”
    Does he have a daughter, a family? If he fell from the sky as he claims, how could he have a family? Then she remembered. ~ within Chapter 7

    Made the Grade: Time Out by Jill Shalvis

    - This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 218; Kindle Edition - File Size: 379 KB | Expected Release Date: February 19, 2012 | Publisher: Harlequin Blaze | Obtained: NetGalley

    "Time Out" by Jill Shalvis

    My Book Summary : Mark & Rainey share a past, one that ruined their friendship. Now years later Mark, a NHL couch, is coming home during his team's off-season to volunteer at the local rec center with plans to help out the community and teach two of his players to smarten-up. He never expected to find hanging around Rainey again to be one of those things he missed over the years. However, now they have three weeks to spend together and the sparks between them are already starting to fly! Will they be able to handle the full three weeks together and then go back their separate ways or will they loose more things between them during that time, like maybe their hearts...

    My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, this novel is a feisty & HOT romance between two stubborn people who like to be in control and have a lot of fun taking away that control from each other! However, even though there is plenty of spicy sex scenes in this novel for you, there is also two plots within this story that are both very sweet. The first plot is about Mark & Rainey, their once friendship, and the heat that they can't seem to stop that's between them. The second plot is about a community that is in dire need of repair after being ravaged by fire along its coast and how to help the teens who go to the rec center while some are living in hard times.

    I recommend this story to anyone who likes to read spicy romance novels!!!

    "If it works into your schedule, that is," she said, and he realized with a jolt that she was looking right at him.
    Everyone was looking right at him.
    "That's fine," he said smoothly.
    Casey and James both lifted their eyebrows, but he ignored them. "We're here to serve."
    James choked on the soda he was drinking.
    Casey just continued staring at Mark like he'd lost his marbles.
    His brother out-and-out grinned, which was his first clue.
    "You just agreed to coach a girls' softball team," James whispered in his ear. "Me and Casey get the boys, but she gave you the girls."
    Ah, hell. ~ within Chapter 3

    Character Interview & Giveaway - Getting Familiar With Your Demon by Jodi Redford

    In honor of Jodi Redford's latest novel "Getting Familiar With Your Demon," which is the 4th book in her That Old Black Magic Series, releasing soon I'm hosting a Character Interview & a GIVEAWAY!!

    Be sure to comment on this post to be able to sign up for this GIVEAWAY (listed below)!! [Running from February 21 - 28, 2012]



    My Q&A with a character from "Getting Familiar With Your Demon" :

    Character's Name : Samael (Sam) Gorasola
    Character's Appearance : 6' 3", fit, muscular build, black hair and dark blue eyes

    Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

    Most know me as the former familiar of the voodoo queen, Antoinette Delacroix. Let’s just say our relationship was a little on the strained side—particularly toward the end of our acquaintance. I used to collect souls for her, and the demon council. Not exactly the safest or jolliest of occupations. Still, I’ve always liked living on the edge. Hell, danger is my middle name. My cousin Nikki will tell you it’s “Pissy”. Which is ridiculous. Do I look like a guy who’d be named Sam Pissy Gorasola? Yeah, thought so.

    What is your favorite article of clothing?

    My leather jacket. It’s been through plenty of brawls and soul hunts with me. Plus it makes me look pretty badass. *flexes biceps*

    What is your favorite book?

    "Christine" by Stephen King. A possessed Plymouth Fury. What’s not to love?

    What is your favorite food?

    I’m a meat and potatoes guy. So a fat slab of prime rib with a side of red skins.

    Do you have a favorite place to go and/or vacation spot?

    My favorite watering hole is Champions, a bar in Savannah. It’s also where I first crossed paths with my Bella. Guess that makes me kinda sentimental about it.

    If you could marry any person, who would it be and why?

    Marabella Blanchard—my little Bella. Without a doubt. She’s my reason for living. The other half of my heart. Hell, my entire heart.

    What is one thing you wouldn't be caught dead doing?

    Dancing. Or listening to disco music. Or dancing while listening to disco music. *grimaces*

    Did you do or get anything good for Valentine’s Day this year?

    Bella is the best present I could ever hope for. I surprised her with a romantic breakfast in bed, followed by a sexy massage and then dessert. *eyebrow waggle*



    "Getting Familiar With Your Demon" [That Old Black Magic Series, Book 4] by Jodi Redford

    Expected Released Date : February 28, 2012

    Author's Book Description :

      He should push her away...but he'd rather have his wicked way with her.

      That Old Black Magic, Book 4


      After too many years learning death from the inside out as the familiar of a voodoo queen, soul collector Samael Gorasola betrayed his boss, which landed him on demon death row.

      He should have known not even his punishment would come easy, but the deal he’s offered to escape his fate stinks. Become the indentured servant to his despised enemy? No thanks, he’d rather be six feet under. With that in mind, he picks a deadly fight with two demon hunters, only to be rescued by one misguided, deliciously innocent white witch.

      Marabella hasn’t a clue what possessed her to help Sam, particularly since he’s not the least bit grateful. She blames it on her overwhelming attraction to the dark, dangerous demon, and her exasperating quest to rid herself of the stubborn curse that guards her virginity. If the guild finds out, though, she can kiss her white-witch status goodbye.

      A kiss is exactly what she gets, followed by a consuming hunger that breaks down all heavenly and earthly barriers…and leaves Sam saddled with the one thing he never wanted, a conscience, and a connection to Marabella that puts her soul on the line.

      Warning: This book contains torturous use of disco music, one sinfully sexy demon who revels in being bad, a virgin witch whose innocence runs more than skin deep, and plenty of wicked, forbidden sex with explosive side effects—literally.

    Idolizing In: A Familiar Face by Marie Harte

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 184 KB | Release Date: August 2011 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: Amazon.com

    "A Familiar Face" by Marie Harte

    My Book Summary : Things have not been going well for Mallory, a witch, who doesn't have much money so she can't afford a decent familiar and is close to losing her apartment. This is why she has no problem taking up an extra shift at The Python Palace where she’s a part-time waitress when her boss, Rattler, asks her too. However, once the shift is over all she wants to do is get off of her feet and fall asleep, so Rattler tells her to go up to The Lounge, a special area that not many are allowed into, to get some rest. After complying and waking up from her nap, Mallory finds herself in a completely different world and within the midst of a war. In addition, her captor just happens to resemble Rattler enough to be his twin and lights a passion within her that she has never felt before. Nevertheless, even as she helps out these people around her (some wanting that help and some not), does she really want to give up everything from where she came from or should she go home??

    My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars!! WOW!! This novel exceeded my expectations and then some! It's a sexually driven, fast-paced, match made from heaven or a little club known as The Python Palace, novel that enthralled me into wishing there was more to read about!!

    About the Characters:
    • Mallory: Sarcastic, funny, sweet, and very playful. A witch who knows how to fight like the best of them. One who might not be much in her own world but means quite a bit in Core's world.

    • Core: Clever. A strong leader. A wonderful fighter. Very protective of Mallory.

    • Rattler: Mysterious. Bossy. A god??

    I can't say enough about this book! I had great delight in reading about Core's abilities--from his true self to his sexual ability. Plus, the banter between Mallory and Core is entertaining just by itself! Then you throw in the mysteriousness about Core's world, how Mallory can help out in the war, and everything that has to do with Rattler, making it very hard for me to put this book down.

    I recommend it to anyone who enjoys sexually focused (sort of), adventurous (definitely), paranormal (to the extreme) novels!!

    My Previous Review(s) for this Author : In Plain Sight

    Book Teaser(s) :
    "This cannot be happening. Frank the rat, MacNafee, a double shift.... And to cap it off with the best sex of my life with Rattler's twin? No way."
    "His twin?" Core couldn't help but preening at the off-hand compliment. "Best sex of your life?"
    "Look, I'm in crisis here," she barked.
    He grinned. ~ within Chapter 3

    Blog Tour Interview & Review - Made the Grade: Love Beyond Loyalty by Rebecca Royce -- Plus Giveaway

    Today I'm turning my blog over to Rebecca Royce, who I interviewed about her latest novel "Love Beyond Loyalty," which is the 3rd book in her Outsiders Series!!

    ALSO -- Be sure to comment on this post to be able to sign up for this tour's GIVEAWAY (listed below)!! [Book Tour will run from February 6 - March 2, 2012]



    My Q&A with Rebecca Royce :

    Jess : What would your ideal career be, if you couldn't be an author?

    Rebecca : I might like to be a teacher. I loved English in High School and college. I might like to teach it.

    Jess : What sparked the idea for your most recent novel, "Love Beyond Loyalty?"

    Rebecca : Well, the whole series has been with me for a long time. Brewing in my brain, if you will. So, its just the next section of a series that I see more as one long cohesive story.

    Jess : Which of your characters would you most/least to invite to dinner, from which book and why?

    Rebecca : Well, Sebastian, the demon would be my least likely to invite. He’s scary, even to me and he travels through all of the books in the Outsider series.

    Jess : If you had to describe Gabriel & Loraine (from "Love Beyond Loyalty") in one word, what would it be?

    Rebecca : Misunderstood.

    Jess : Which usually comes first for you, the character(s) story or the idea for the novel?

    Rebecca : The idea for the novel and then the characters introduce themselves to me.

    Jess : What is your latest published book? And if you could write it all over again, would you change anything about it?

    Rebecca : "Love Beyond Loyalty" is the third book in my Outsider series. I don’t think I would change anything. I’m really excited about it.

    Jess : How many books have you written? Which is your favorite and why?

    Rebecca : 29 books. I’m not sure which one is my favorite. Its like choosing between my kids. I just can’t.

    Jess : Did you do anything fun and/or get anything good for Valentine’s Day this year?

    Rebecca : I hope so. It’s not quite Valentines as I am writing this. I hope the husband did something good!



    About the Author :

    As a teenager, Rebecca Royce would hide in her room to read her favorite romance novels when she was supposed to be doing her homework. She hopes, these days, that her parents think it was well worth it.

    Rebecca is the mother of three adorable boys and is fortunate to be married to her best friend. They live in northern New Jersey and try not to freeze too badly during the winter months.

    She's in love with science fiction, fantasy, and the paranormal and tries to use all of these elements in her writing. She's been told she's a little bloodthirsty so she hopes that when you read her work you'll enjoy the action packed ride that always ends in romance. Rebecca loves to write series because she loves to see characters develop over time and it always makes her happy to see her favorite characters make guest appearances in other books.

    In Rebecca Royce's world anything is possible, anything can happen, and you should suspect that it will.

    "Love Beyond Loyalty" [The Outsiders Series, Book 3] by Rebecca Royce

    My Book Summary : All his life Gabriel has been fending for himself and trying to keep Alexa (a girl/woman who has special powers like him) safe from either the foster care system or just trying to survive on their own. Because of the way he grew up, he already knows that even if he may not be smart, he is definitely street smart. However, now he has come to a point in his life where he's ready to settle down. The problem is things don't seem to be that easy for him. Especially when he has a group called "the Outsiders" (a group of people who have supernatural powers who have plans to find everyone like them and defeat a demon who is on the earth) who want him to join their cause and while Alexa believes that he has turned to evil while the opposite could really be said. This is when it all comes to blows for him but in doing so, it brings Loraine into his life.

    Loraine is a woman who can speak to animals. When she and Gabriel first meet is when she saves his life the first time. Soon afterwards Gabriel and Loraine start facing their destinies and Gabriel must decide if Loraine is worth more than staying loyal to Alexa and what she believe in. Will he be able to choose before it's too late?

    My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, this striking, creative, and adventurous novel is a thing to behold and made me fall in love with this series!! It is action-packed! In addition, to having so many plots that the stories in this series seem to be never-ending which was very intriguing!

    I know you can't love all the characters in a story (all the time) but the way Alexa handles the situations and the decisions she makes, really ruined the story for me. Nevertheless, I LOVED Gabriel and Loraine!! Their relationship is just soo sweet and I just couldn't get enough of them!! So, even though they aren't the main characters in the next book I hope to read more about them in it!! =0) Also, I am really curious as to what will happen with Christophe & Ruby since they sound like an interesting couple too.

    I recommend this to anyone who enjoys good vs. evil type of plots. Or just anyone who likes paranormal romance novels!!

    Author Book Trailer :

    Book Teaser(s) :
    Leonardo moved forward until he stood next to Gabriel. "So what you're saying is that Alexa---that's her name, right?---is so far gone she's not just believing the demon; she's helping him?"
    Loraine swallowed hard. She wondered if anyone else in the room had caught what she just caught. There was a certain gleam in Leonardo's eyes. A heated glance that was different from the indifference or sometimes hostile glances he'd held since entering the room. He was very interested in finding out more about that woman. ~ within Chapter 8

    Book Excerpt :

    She turned on her heel, and Gabriel‘s heart sped up. He walked forward and grabbed her arm, which was tricky to do because he needed to hold up his blanket to prevent from being arrested for public indecency.

    “You‘re leaving?” God, he wanted to shout, 'don‘t leave.'

    Nodding, she gave him that forced smile again, and he wanted to wipe it off her face. “I am. I brought you to Alexa. It‘s time for me to go on my way. You‘ve told me a lot of stuff I have to digest. Good luck.” She looked at Alexa and he wished that one of his powers was mind reading because he had no clue what was going on inside of hers. “To both of you. It was nice meeting you.”

    Pulling her arm free of his grip he thought for a second he felt her shake. Was she okay?

    “Loraine, wait a second...”

    He wouldn‘t have believed she could move that fast. One second she was there and the next she, while still walking, sprinted out of the building.

    “Loraine,” he yelled but she didn‘t turn around and soon the crowd in the room blocked his view.

    Why was she leaving? Like a light turning on, realization struck him. She had used the phrase your Alexa. What did she think his relationship with his oldest friend was?

    Feasted On: The Secret She Can't Hide by India Grey

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 347 KB | Release Date: June 2011 | Publisher: Harlequin | Obtained: Amazon.com

    "The Secret She Can't Hide" by India Grey

    My Book Summary : Four years ago, Kate spent the night with a sexy world-famous racing driver named Cristiano that changed both of their lives for good. However, during the following day at Cristiano's race he gets into a car accident that sends him into the hospital and has them loose touch ....

    Now four years later Cristiano is making media waves about coming back to the racing world. Because of that, Kate's friends believe now is the perfect time for her find out what happened between them and to inform Cristiano that they have a child together. Sad to say seeing each other again just isn't the same as it used to be. Cristiano has become a harder tougher person, then the person he used to be with her. But when old sparks show up between them will that be enough to start bringing their lives back together? Let alone what will happen once Cristiano hears about his 4-year-old son...

    My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! This fast-paced, drama-filled, roller coaster of a novel was one I didn't want to put down!! I loved how this story flows from the scenes surrounding Cristiano's crash to Kate and Cristiano's reunion to how they try to work it all out in the end it was just great. Kate is a bundle of nerves that life just keeps proving to her that she should worry about the things she does. Cristiano believes that he needs to prove himself to everyone no matter the cost. Somehow, they just seem to work together.

    I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys reading stories about racecar drivers and/or anyone who just enjoys romance novels!

    'It was...special.' She stared down into her mug. Her voice sounded husky with the emotions she was trying to hold back. 'It was good. Not just the s-sex bit, but all of it.' ~ within Chapter 5
