Disappointmentville: Eternal Mates Series, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 1981 KB | Release Date: November 19, 2013 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: Amazon.com

"Kissed by a Dark Prince" [Eternal Mates Series, Book 1] by Felicity Heaton

Author's Book Description : Olivia thinks it’s her lucky night when a dangerously handsome unconscious fae ends up on her inspection table. He’s her chance to redeem herself with her employer, the demon-hunting organisation, Archangel. But when the tall, dark and deadly immortal warrior awakes, she gets much more than she bargained for…

Attacked by his enemy in the elf kingdom, the last thing Prince Loren expects when he comes around is a beautiful angel watching over him and medical technology of the mortal realm. Hazy from his injuries, all he can focus on is the pulse ticking in her throat and the sweet allure of her blood.

One single bite reveals she is his eternal mate, triggering a bond between them that will leave him weakened until it is completed… or broken, and pulling Olivia into the crossfire of his ancient feud.

To protect his people and his mate from the machinations of a madman, Loren must risk everything by working with Olivia at Archangel to find a way to break the bond blossoming between them.

But will Loren be strong enough to place duty before desire and give up the one thing he has waited millennia for and craves above all others—his eternal mate? And will Olivia be able to resist the incredible heat that burns between them and the temptation of her dark prince’s kiss?

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. Even though I enjoyed how Ms. Heaton setup this novel as an intriguing start for this series, I didn't like this novel as much I'd have liked too. I most felt this way because I didn't like Olivia, the heroine, she was so annoying when it came to her relationship with Leron. I mean I understand her reservations, yet she kept them up even after she learned that Loren wasn't anything like her ex. *shakes head*

I see potential for this series; therefore I only recommend it to those who love reading paranormal romances!

Book Teaser(s) :
He wheeled around to his right and her eyes shot to the arched door near the other end of the room, close to a low long cabinet.
It was one of the men from the other night. The one who had spoken. She recognised his face. He still wore his suit of armour, but his helmet was gone, revealing black-blue overlong wild hair. Did all of their species have the same hair and eye colour? He stared at her, purple eyes dark and cold, but laced with a touch of surprise.
“I sensed your agitation.” He switched his focus to the man who had bitten and kidnapped her. “Is everything well, my prince?”
Prince. Oh my. She had been right on the money. Her kidnapper was a prince. A prince of what though?
The other male’s eerie gaze slid back to her and narrowed, and Olivia had the dreadful feeling that he would be all too willing to kill her if she was upsetting the man he had referred to as his prince.
The prince in question shook his head and waved regally, dismissing the male. “That action will not be necessary, Bleu. The female is not a threat to me.”
Olivia bristled at that. She could have killed him when she’d had him unconscious on her inspection table. Not a threat her ass.
Both men slid deadly looks her way and Olivia realised she had said it all aloud. She shrank back, trying to make herself look as small and nonthreatening as possible. ~ within Chapter 3

Feasted On: Baby, Oh Baby! by Robin Wells

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 468 KB | Release Date: November 4, 2012 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: Amazon.com

"Baby, Oh Baby!" by Robin Wells

Author's Book Description : This time its all mixed up...

Cynical, jaded, practical-minded attorney Jake Chastaine is still grieving his late wife two years after her death when he discovers that due to a mistake at a fertility center where she received treatment, a woman he's never met has had his baby. Jake is determined to play a role in his child's life. He's chagrined to discover, however, that the mother of his child is as appealing as she is impractical. A gorgeous redhead, Annie is a free spirit who raises llamas, reads tea leaves and believes her dead grandfather talks to her through highway billboards. Worst of all, she makes his body temperature soar in a most illogical manner.

When his law partner and former father-in-law threatens to ruin Annie in a misguided attempt to help him acquire custody of the child, Jake decides that the best way to handle the situation is to enter into a short-term marriage of convenience. They both get far more than they bargained for, and learn a life-changing lesson about the power of love.

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! SO SWEET!!! A man and woman's lives join when their baby is born but even more so for Jake and Annie, two people who conceived a child because of a sperm bank mix-up, who are complete opposites yet plan to do everything in their power to make a good life/family for their child. Even if that means accidentally falling in love!

Together they balance each other out. While Jake proves to Annie he's the big-hearted man she's been hoping for, Annie shows Jake what it's like to be your true self and that love isn't black and white.

I really think they made a great pair! Plus, Madeline was so cute!

Along with reading about Jake dealing with his grief over his wife's passing, you read about her parent's -- who Jake is still close to -- dealing with their grief too. I thought it was a unique take that was both funny, sweet, and sad at times but brought a lot of heart to this novel.

I especially enjoyed how this novel was wrapped up at the end. Yet I was hopping their would be an epilogue with Annie being pregnant or having another baby to bring them together even more. I mostly wished this because how Jake keeps talking about how much he missed and how you can tell even though the timing would have been bad he wanted to have been there.

I recommend this novel to anyone to likes contemporary romances!

Book Teaser(s) :
Her voice broke off. “Oh, my! Your baby’s gotten ahold of something.”
Jake whipped his head around to see Madeline sitting under a chair, merrily sucking on a shiny object. He sprang to his feet, bolted across the room, and hauled the baby out into the open floor. The lower part of her face was smeared black, and her lips seemed to have disappeared. Jake yanked the object out of her mouth. It was a large felt-tip marker.
“Oh, hell.” Jake grabbed his shirttail again, and once more tried to swab out the baby’s mouth: As before, the child screamed at an eardrum-piercing volume.
For all of his efforts, Jake wasn’t making any progress. His shirt was gaining additional grime, but he didn’t see any lessening of the blackness in the baby’s mouth. It was black as pitch, and the blackness stretched all the way to the back of her tonsils—which she was showing to advantage as she yelped at full volume.
Alarm raced through Jake. “Hey—does anyone know if ink is poisonous?”
The pink-haired teenager squatted beside him and picked up the marker. “It says right here it’s nontoxic.”
Relief gushed through Jake. “Thank God.”
Yanking away from Jake, Madeline threw herself at the teenager as if he were a life raft on a storm-tossed sea. Her crying stopped as she crawled onto his lap. She grinned up engagingly, her mouth looking like a coal mine at night.
The boy’s eyes grew wide with alarm. “Hey! What’s she doin’?”
“Sitting on your lap. She likes you,” Lilly proclaimed.
The baby continued to grin. Despite himself, the boy smiled back. “Ya know, she looks kinda cool,” he said. “She’s kinda got a Goth look goin’.”
“She’s a sight, that’s for sure,” Lilly agreed. ~ within Chapter 6
She turned toward him. She wasn’t angry, he realized with relief. She was cracking up with laughter. She leaned against him, laughing until tears ran down her face.
She finally drew a breath and wiped her eyes. “Well, you get points for coming clean about it.”
He looked at her accusingly. “You knew.”
The remark set off a fresh round of giggles. Annie looked at Madeline, who was holding the stubs of two snack cakes in her fists, her cheeks stuffed like a chipmunk’s. “Madeline gave it away. She went nuts when I found the Twinkie boxes in the pantry.”
Jake rubbed his head, feeling like an idiot. “I should have told you,” he admitted. “It was just such a stupid thing to do....”
Annie’s eyes danced. “It would have been stupider if you’d sat there and actually eaten six of them to keep me from finding out.”
Jake grinned back. “You would have let me do that, too, wouldn’t you?”
“I would have. But I don’t think Madeline would.”
He laughed and gazed into her eyes—into her laughing, impish, blue eyes— and felt an almost overwhelming surge of attraction.
‘So she thinks your name is Twinkie.” Annie cocked her head as she said the word, as if she were testing it on her tongue. “That’s kind of cute. I think I’ll start calling you that, too.”
“Don’t you dare.”
“I just might, just to see what you’ll do.” ~ within Chapter 15

Disappointmentville: Not His Mate by M. L. Briers

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 720 KB | Release Date: April 22, 2014 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: Amazon.com

"Not His Mate" by M. L. Briers

Author's Book Description : Nadia was in her happy place, but all that was about to change.
When Nadia’s sisters arrive foretelling doom for her and the local pack she’s forced into a situation where she has to work with the same pack that have been hounding her since she moved to town. It’s an unhappy alliance, but one that she needs to live with in order to... live.
The Alpha is determined to save his pack from the Werewolves that have been attacking with what seems to be uncharacteristically controlled tactical awareness. Suspecting that magic lurks somewhere behind the scenes, he is reluctantly forced to accept the help of the Fae when they appear to hold the answers.
But things don’t always go to plan. Saving the Witch shouldn’t have been high on his agenda, but when push comes to shove, he needs to decide if splitting the pack and fighting on two fronts is worth the risk.

Adult Content

My Book Review : 2 out of 5 stars. A cute paranormal romance that I just couldn't get into. Because of the author's book description I knew this novel was going to be based around Nadia and her family, yet I didn't think that it would be mostly about Nadia's troubles and her sisters' finding their mates. In addition, reading the POVs of everyone was a little off putting when all I really wanted to do was read from Nadia's POV, find out more about Nadia's troubles, and learn about who her "mate" wound be.

Therefore, if you're looking for a multi POV novel that includes three romances within the paranormal genre, then I recommend this book to you!

Book Teaser(s) :
“So much for hacking...” Nadia’s voice was like a bucket of cold water poured over Natasha’s head as she pulled her lips from his and gasped in the air she had been so sweetly and passionately denied.
Colt didn’t move, although he did debate with himself snapping the annoying little Witch’s neck and returning to his mate to begin again where they had been so cruelly interrupted. But he had a sneaking suspicion that his mate might view him killing her sister as a step too far in their emerging relationship.
“Nadia, you’ll understand when I say that there are two words and the second is off...” Natasha bit out, much to the pure amusement of her mate. ~ within Chapter 5

Made the Grade: Three Ways to Wicked by Melinda Barron

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 201 KB | Release Date: May 3, 2011 | Publisher: Resplendence Publishing | Obtained: Amazon.com

"Three Ways to Wicked" by Melinda Barron (aka Maura McMann)

Author's Book Description : Bestselling Author Krisily Carmichael needs a break from her life. Her horrid ex-boyfriend sold naked photos of her, and now she’s plastered all over the nation’s largest skin magazine. So when an advertisement for a rental cottage near Bath appears in her mailbox, she snatches up the offer.

When she arrives at the remote English cottage, she finds a charming country home with a huge botanical garden…complete with four magical beings trapped inside.

Victim of a wayward spell, the Sorcerer Uriel and his alchemist cousins, Bythos and Acolius, have spent centuries trapped inside their garden with an evil witch who wants their secrets. Krisily’s arrival sets off a string of events foretold to bring about the witch’s end. Unfortunately, they have to contend with the witch’s curse, which took one sense from each of the men.

But the four of them find a way to communicate, and they come together in a blaze of passion that helps them to destroy the witch and meet their destiny.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. It's a cute erotic novel. It's about a present day woman who rents out a cottage in England in hopes of relaxing for a while. Instead finds herself in the middle of a magical war with three hot guys wanting to help her, in more ways then one.

As I said it was cute, yet I just wish I liked the relationship between the four of them better and the ending more.

I recommend it ONLY to those looking for a quick erotic paranormal romantic read!

Uriel put his elbows on the table. “What are credit cards?”
“They’re little plastic things you give people instead of money. He used them to purchase some things when we were together.”
“Extraordinary,” Bythos said. “A moneyless society.”
“No.” She waved her hands to dispel the notion. “It’s...I’ll explain it all later, okay.”
One more book she needed to buy, obviously. Maybe the children’s section would have tomes that could explain it all to them easily.
“Did he use these things to purchase you clothing?” Uriel’s gaze was harsh.
“We’re not going into that again. This is the way people dress nowadays. Deal with it.” There had been a huge discussion before they’d left the cottage about her sundress, which, they’d all agreed, was “attire for under the dress”.
The conversation had been heated, but, in the interest of getting into Bath, they’d finally agreed they’d table the discussion for later. ~ within the Epilogue

"The Guardian" [TALES OF THE DJINN Series, Book 1] by Emma Holly

Author's Book Description : Elyse Solomon hasn’t had it easy. She lost her dad and her husband under suspicious circumstances, and her relatives know more than they’re admitting about both deaths. Then a mysterious stranger with a briefcase full of cash moves into the basement of her New York brownstone. Arcadius is gorgeous and sophisticated, but nothing about him adds up—that is, until Elyse discovers her sexy tenant is a genie desperate to save his people from a deadly curse. With so much heartache behind her, can Elyse find the courage to help the man who might be her true soul mate?

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars!! Since she was little, Elyse was use to her father going on adventurous excursions and sending back exotic presents for her to enjoy. Her home is still filled with them. Now, though, with her husband and father dead her life seems to have become rather dull. That is until Joseph and his 'Master' Arcadius pays cash to rent out the basement apartment of her brownstone residence. Unintentionally, they throw Elyse's life upside down when they reveal to her everything that is really 'magical' in her life and point out to her the truths that she should have known.

In doing so, they end up recruiting her to help them save their city. While that takes place, Arcadius and Elyse find their feelings for each other are growing. This is good in a way but might completely hurt them both in the end....

Overall, I really liked the build up of this novel/series. It’s inventive, exciting, and fun. While Arcadius and Elyse's romance is slow and sweet. It is one thing that I hope will last throughout this series!

The only thing that was hard for me at times was the stories within a story thing. Especially when you don't like the story that the characters are telling.

Even so, I still recommend this series and novel to anyone who likes paranormal romance!

Book Teaser(s) :
Calm down, she thought, forcing herself to move toward the entrance without primping. That she’d noticed the strangers was irrelevant.
She wiped sweaty palms on her old black jeans before she turned the knob. The slightly shorter man from the new apartment was outside, the one the other had called Joseph. Once again, she was struck by his handsomeness. His face was narrow, his features sharp and striking. His dark hair was pleasantly disarrayed, his wide mouth naturally ruddy. She’d never seen skin as smooth as his on a man, though obviously he could afford regular spa treatments. A quick survey of her hormones revealed she wasn’t physically pulled to him— or not so much that she’d notice. All the same, she couldn’t deny he was easy on the eyes.
“Good evening,” he said in his strangely formal yet not accented voice. “I hope I’m not interrupting. Could you recommend a nearby restaurant that delivers? My master likes spicy food.”
His master? The thought that her new tenants might be a couple had crossed her mind, but not that they played with whips and chains. Was that why they wanted privacy?
Elyse struggled not to picture the man before her in a dog collar . He wore a nice dress shirt. There could be a leash under it . . . or maybe nipple clamps. She shook the thoughts from her head. The pair’s personal arrangements absolutely weren’t her business.
“Uh,” she said. ~ within Chapter 7
Once in the hall, she peered toward the living room. “There’s no out outside the front door. All I see is swirling mist.”
“That’s right,” Joseph said. “Beyond the mirror space is simply unformed potential.”
She gnawed her lower lip. “What would happen if I tried to step into it?”
“You’d feel a very strong aversion before you did. If you persisted, your soul would separate from your body. You’d need a good necromancer to call it back.”
“In other words, don’t do it.”
“That would be best,” Joseph conceded. Elyse’s question had amused him. ~ within Chapter 10

"Forged" [The World of Nightwalkers Series, Book 4] by Jacquelyn Frank (aka Jax)

Author's Book Description : From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes a seductive new paranormal romance set in the World of the Nightwalkers, as a battle-scarred bodyguard and a sensitive beauty risk their lives—and their hearts—in the face of evil.

When Katrina Haynes discovers a large man lying wounded in the snow, she fears he is at death’s door. But as Kat tends to his injuries, she quickly realizes that they’re the least of her worries. With an irresistible Scottish brogue and a strange ability to harden his chiseled body like a statue, the stranger awakens a desire she is unable to resist—and a fascination about the intriguing world he exists in.

As a proud Gargoyle, Ahnvil must safeguard the Nightwalker to whom he’s sworn fealty. But as this bewitching woman nurses him back to health, arousing an almost uncontrollable hunger within him, he is possessed with the fierce impulse to protect her as well. And he will have to shield her—for by coming to his rescue, Kat has placed herself in the middle of a supernatural war . . . and exposed herself to dark, powerful magic. As human and Gargoyle forge an unbreakable bond, Kat will discover that despite his intimidating strength and size, one thing Ahnvil does not possess is a heart of stone.

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! This series keeps getting better and better! Now you learn about Kat and Ahnvil, a supposed mortal finds herself thrust into a unique and terrifying world when she finds and helps a hurting gargoyle on her property. Together they are unstoppable, even when their differences seem to try keeping them apart. I enjoyed their romance and how they protected each other through everything that was thrown at them. They are a magnetic pair!

It makes me excited to see where this series will go and who the new "person" we will be meeting and "watching" fall in love with next!

I recommend this novel and series to anyone who's a fan of Ms. Frank and/or those who like paranormal romances!!

"Royally Lost" by Angie Stanton

Author's Book Description : Dragged on a family trip to Europe’s ancient cities, Becca wants nothing more than to go home. Trapped with her emotionally distant father, over-eager stepmother, and a brother who only wants to hook up with European hotties, Becca is miserable. That is until she meets Nikolai, a guy as mysterious as he is handsome. And she unknowingly finds herself with a runaway prince.

Nikolai has everything a guy could ask for-he's crown prince, heir to the throne, and girls adore him. But the one thing he doesn't have...is freedom. Staging a coup, he flees his kingdom and goes undercover on his own European tour.

When Nikolai and Becca meet, it’s their differences that draw them together. Sparks fly as they share a whirlwind of adventures, all the while dodging his royal guard. But Becca's family vacation ends in a matter of days. Will Nikolai and Becca be forced to say goodbye forever, will his destiny catch up to him, or will they change history forever?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! Once this novel hooks your interest, it'll keep you entertained to the end! Two high school graduates, who come from very different backgrounds, paths keep crossing enough for them to take notice and get to know one another, which turns into something more if only their families don't keep them apart.

At first I wasn't sure how I would like this novel as it is a bit slow in the beginning, yet once it picks up--by the middle--I had a hard time putting it down. I enjoyed how Nikolai and Becca learned from each other and in doing so, they were able to create better futures for themselves. Together they are able to bring out who they both would rather become instead of who they were turning into before they met. In addition, I liked how this novel wrapped everything up. It's a very sweet romance!

I recommend this novel to anyone who is a fan of Ms. Stanton and/or enjoys contemporary NA romances!

About the Author :

Angie Stanton never planned on writing books; she wanted to be a Rockette. However, growing up in rural Wisconsin, with her brothers' 4-H pigs as pets, dance didn't work out. Instead she became an avid daydreamer. After years of perfecting stories in her head, she began to write them down, and the rest is history.

Angie is the author of six books including "Royally Lost," "Rock and a Hard Place," and "Snapshot." She graduated with a Journalism degree from the University of Wisconsin, and is a proud double finalist of the National Readers Choice Awards for "Love 'em or Leave 'em."




Book Excerpt :

The hot sun burned down on Becca. “The lake is so clear I can see all the way to the bottom. I wish I’d worn my swimsuit.”

“You could . . . you know,” Nikolai said suggestively, looking at her shirt.

“I am not skinny-dipping, so you can wipe that idea from your mind right now.”

“Look who’s jumping to conclusions. I wasn’t suggesting you skinny-dip.” He delivered a sly grin. “What I was about to say is that you could swim in your underwear.”

“Oh, but—”

“Ut.” He held up a finger. “Let me finish. Your underwear probably covers you more than your bathing suit anyway.”

Becca opened her mouth to speak, but then changed her mind. She knew he was secretly laughing at her.

“What? It’s a great idea.” He smiled devilishly.

“So, you’re saying you’d strip down to your undies, right here, in broad daylight.”

Nikolai stood and reached between his shoulders, pulled his T-shirt over his head, and dropped it at her feet. “You Americans are so uptight about your bodies.”

Becca stared at his strong arms, lean physique, and flat stomach. He began to unbutton his shorts.

Her jaw opened. She wanted to tell him to stop, but even more, she wanted to see if he’d actually drop his drawers in front of her.

He did.
