"The Half-Breed Vampire" [Sons of Midnight Mini-Series, Book 3] by Theresa Meyers

My Book Summary : Even though Raina, a game warden and her tribe's "wolf whisperer," doesn't like vampires she needs to find out why there are wolves invading and attacking her people and they seem to be the only ones who can help. Or more specifically Slade is perfect for the job. With his overly enhanced senses (better than any other vampire that he knows), he'll be able to track the wolves and find out what Raina's situation is. Once they start their mission it's like an invisible force draws them together and there is no way either of them can turn back. However, what they find out hits closer to home for them both and soon they are finding out things from Slade's past that could pull them away from each other for good if they're not careful...

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! Hot, intense, and passionate are how I would describe this unique novel!! I really enjoyed reading about the relationship that grows between Raina & Slade, along with all of the back-story that was in this novel. Plus, it does have a creative take on what it means to be a half-breed, which is even more interesting since by the end of the book it kind of leaves you with more questions than answers with that topic. Yet, like I said, the relationship between the main characters really draws you into this book and then the plot holds you to it!!

I recommend this novel to anyone who already likes the series! In addition, to anyone who likes reading paranormal romance novels or novels that have half-breed Werewolf/Vampires in them!!

Book Teaser(s) :

"What happened to you anyway?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary."
"Nothing out of--- You passed out cold and had a raging fever for more than six hours! I was sick to my stomach with worry, not knowing if you were going to make it or not. And what would I have done with your body? I sure couldn't have hauled it all the way back down the mountain."
He shrugged, brushing off her concern. ~ within Chapter 6

What was I thinking?: Sisters of McDougal Ranch Series, Book 3

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Kindle Edition - File Size: 308 KB | Expected Release Date: February 13, 2012 | Publisher: Carina Press | Obtained: NetGalley

"Margot's Lawman" [Sisters of McDougal Ranch Series, Book 3] by Debra Kayn

What was I thinking? : I saw the book description on NetGalley and at the time it looked like a cute story .... boy was I wrong!!

My Book Summary : Over the past year, Margot & Roy Lee have been keeping their relationship a secret. This way they could take their new relationship slow so they won't hurt their long time friendship.

Now that they've made it a year together, they are ready to let everyone know they are in love. However, just as things are starting to go good between them, an unexpected secret comes between them, that may hurt their relationship more than expected. Will they be able to move past this secret and get their relationship back to normal or will this everything they have created together?

My Book Review : 1 out of 5 stars. I'm sorry to say but I didn't enjoy any of this novel. Margot is very annoying, she stresses about everything so much that she never moves forward, or if she does, it'll be very slowly. It's so bad that for their first year of dating Margot & Roy Lee didn't tell anyone. Roy Lee actually seemed to be a good character in the beginning but by the time the secret came out about Ryan, he became just as bad as Margot. Terrible.

I would only recommend this novel to anyone who likes the series to begin with.

Book Teaser(s) :

She gazed at the front of his jeans, and damned if he nearly burst. He swallowed.
“One...” He cupped her face and tilted it up to his, studying her carefully, wanting to make sure she knew she had about ten seconds before he made the decision for her. “I can lay you down in the grass and show you how a real cowboy takes the woman he loves, or...or you get on the horse, ride like hell back to the house and wait for me in the bedroom where I’ll have you on your back nice and proper.”
“But—” She frowned. “I don’t wanna wait.”
“That’s my girl.” He captured her mouth and lowered her to the ground. ~ within Chapter 7

"My Captor, My Love" by Leah Matheny
Released Date : August 2011

Author's Book Description :

Can there really be a secret Indian tribe living in a secluded valley a week's ride from Mammoth Lakes? Yes, and men have left their village for supplies...

Danielle wanted to go back home, but Honon chased her down each time she ran...at first. In the beginning she didn't understand why she'd been taken. Later, her heart had been broken too much to stay. She had to stop her escalating feelings for Honon, even though he gave her more highly charged passion than she'd ever dreamed of. No matter what move she'll make, it will cause her even more heartache. No matter how far she runs, Dani can't escape her desire for Honon.

The chief's son knows what he wants as soon as he sees Dani and her long fiery hair...then he catches a glimpse of her creamy white skin. When opportunity and lust strikes, Honon takes her - even though she's meant for someone else. He sees her fear...and her yearning glimpses. He wants to give her his body, but not his heart. Can he trust her or is she playing him for a fool? Can he let go of the past or will pride cause him to lose more than Dani? [Read Jess' Review for this Book - 4 out of 5 stars!]

"Sunny Days for Sam" by Jennifer Shirk
Expected Publication Released Date: April 6, 2012

Author's Book Description:

Sunnyva “Sunny” Fletcher is a firm believer in fairy tales. With the recent debt she’s acquired, the hope of something magical happening in her life is the only thing keeping her going. She needs a job fast. So when Sunny learns the sexy new vacationer in town is looking for a nanny, she starts to believe she just may have a fairy godmother after all!

Internet guru Sam Calloway is only in town for the summer and needs a nanny for his two small children. However, the beautiful and inexperienced Sunny is not exactly the kind of caregiver Sam has in mind. It doesn’t take long for Sunny’s tenderhearted and bubble-blowing ways to soon have the children—and Sam—enamored with her. She’s a dream come true. But after what Sam’s been through, he’s stopped believing in fairy tales long ago.

Sunny manages to work her way into Sam’s closed-off heart, but at the end of the summer, will the workaholic dad go back to his life in New York City, or will he decide his days are much sunnier here with Sunny?
