New Books Releasing

ON THE PROWL by Crystal Jordan

Meet the Cruz brothers. They look human—except for the golden sheen their eyes take when they're aroused beyond control...and the way their claws come out when it's time to play rough. They're Panthers, ancient shapeshifters, and their survival depends on mating to bring out their wild sides...

Undeniable

When Antonio, the strong, sexy new leader of the Panther pride, meets luscious Solana in a dark alleyway, their passion lights up the night. But she's an outcast, an impossible mate—and her touch makes him lose all control...

Irresistible

Ex-model and businesswoman Andrea doesn't need anyone—until she meets Miguel, who tempts her mind with daring games and teases her body with dark, forbidden pleasure she can't resist...

Indescribable

Wild twins Ricardo and Diego do everything together—and their women appreciate the teamwork. Until shy Isabel takes refuge in their pride, and both want to claim her. Of course, sometimes two mates are better than one...

BOUND TO PLEASE by Lilli Feisty

FROM FANTASY TO ECSTASY

Ruby Scott is a beautiful, quiet event planner who leads an oh-so-respectable life. Yet the things that go on in her secret fantasies are anything but. She has every intention of keeping her hidden desires under wraps-until she meets a gorgeous, hard-muscled man ten years her junior. Mark St. Crow is a gifted, up-and-coming musician who collects erotic art and loves to "play" women as much as his piano. After one night of uninhibited passion, Ruby realizes there's no turning back. But as she surrenders to her deepest needs and lets Mark control every forbidden thrill, her passion for him builds. Can the wild, intoxicating nights they share lead to a love that will last forever?

I haven't forgotten, Really!

I truly have not forgotten about this blog, honest. I have hit an incredibly busy patch at work (what in the HECK happened 9 months ago?!?!) and started working another job for an extra day a week so far. Add some sleep (not much) into the mix and I don't have a lot of time to read, let alone post reviews.  I also have been trying to get ready for the Romantic Times Booklover's Convention in Orlando that is coming up with rapid speed. Which is wonderful when you are ready for a vacation, but not so much when you don't have your costumes even close to worked out!!

I did read Karen Chance's Cassie Palmer series and will be posting a combined review of the first three books in the series as soon as I finish the third one. Then the fourth book and new release as of this last Tuesday will get its own review. 

Also I have a review of Michele Bardsley's upcoming release and there should be a prize or two associated with that review. So keep checking back, I will be posting!

Mayhem in High Heels

I did a review for Gemma Halliday's latest High Heels Mystery for Barbara Vey at Publisher's Weekly. I didn't know if I could cross post the entire blurb, so here's the URL.

Check it out, and try the book. It is the last in a series, so you will need to read the others first starting with Spying in High Heels. They are all hilarious, romantic, and great who-dunnits.

Dream Warrior

Sherrilyn Kenyon's latest release in the Dream Hunter world, Dream Warrior, was released on February 3, 2009. It tells the story of Cratus, AKA Jericho, who defied Zeus and earned thousands of years of torture and abuse for doing so. The son of Warcraft and Hate, he had been Zeus' right hand man until he looked into the eyes of a small baby girl and couldn't kill her. Flash forward through a few millenia of daily beatings, killings, and resurrections, Zeus is looking for Jericho to save their collective butts from an old enemy. Jericho being understandably reluctant to partake in the butt saving, Zeus resorts to dirty tricks, and sends Delphine to seduce him. Delphine is a Dream Hunter whose primary responsibility for almost her entire existence has been to protect humans from the Skoti who prey on them in their dreams. Despite her lack of experience with seduction, she manages to capture Jericho's attention, and  completes her task, even if not as Zeus had originally intended.

This book is crammed full of action as is Ms. Kenyon's usual, but there are a few surprises for Dark Hunter fans, with some fun cameos and new character introductions made. I loved this novel, I think she is building up to some great stuff and it is gonna be an awesome ride!

Stakes & Stilettos

Somehow the ARC gods smiled upon me and I managed to lay my hands on this novel.

Michelle Rowen releases this fourth book in the Immortality Bites series on March 31, 2009.  I have gotta say that while I was happy with the action break in Sarah's story for Quinn's in Lady & the Vamp, I am happy to be back in the middle of Sarah Dearly's not so fangtastic immortality. Thierry is featured more in this story than in the others, with the readers getting a glimpse into his head and background. I have always liked Thierry in spite of his seeming coldness but now you get a true idea of why he does what he does, and who he is, and it makes him much more endearing as a character. Sarah gets into her usual amount of trouble, getting staked,  cursed, and rescued by a masked person calling himself the Red Devil. Add in parents concerned that she is dating a married man and a ten year high school reunion and all hell is literally breaking loose.

This installment has a lot of action, great character building and awesome plot development. This story is part of a two story arc with the last in the series coming in September, so don't expect complete resolution, but it does end on a "happy for now" note that will hopefuly hold you over for the six months until Ms Rowen concludes this series.  I know I am on pins and needles waiting!
