The Saga of my Hunter’s Fall ARC

Hunter left Shiloh Walker a safe and happy book to go out on a book blog tour.  On Hunter’s first stop he meets Donna, then Donna sent him on to me…
So Hunter’s Fall arrived at my door safe and sound. I took him home and put him in my office, sitting on the bar stool.  But I left for work the next day, went to my daughter’s LaCrosse game.  Came home to find that the Husband left the dogs alone in the house… I guess that he decided he wanted to get to know Hunter’s Fall a little better. 
Good thing that the book is still readable and that I was the last stop on this leg of the tour. Can you imagine the poor person who would have gotten this book after me….
My review for Hunter’s Fall will be up the last week of May…. Hope you come back and read more!!!!

Eternal Kiss by Laura Wright ♥ ♥ ♥



Release date April 5th.

Read an excerpt from Eternal Kiss HERE

Want to watch Nicky’s Trailer…..Check it out HERE


My Thoughts:
Anyone who knows me knows that I am totally and completely in love with Nicholas Roman.  He is by far one of my most favorite characters of ALL, YES ALL of the books I have read.

In Nicky book we pick up where we left off in Eternal Hunger with Nicky willing to do anything for his brothers.  Family is the most important thing to him. But Nicky is hiding something even from the ones he loves the most, a secret that could destroy the love that his brothers have for him. 

Nicky’s world is turned upside down when he has a chance meeting with who he thinks in an informant.  It turns out to be a very beautiful veana (female) who has an even bigger secret for Nicholas, one that will change all of them.

This book is full of so many ups and downs twists and turns. I had to have a box of Kleenex to me the whole time.

ARC Forever Vampire by Michele Hauf

Release day April 19 2011

Vail the Unwanted is a pureblood vampire. But raised in Faery, he has neither home nor peace, and when his aid is sought in the recovery of a priceless diamond gown, his price is information. Specifically the whereabouts of his accursed father. His goal is revenge, and the supernaturally sexy Lyric, the icy blond vampiress with whom he must work, is a distraction he can’t afford.


Outwardly as cold as the diamond dress in which she was kidnapped, Lyric has her own secrets. Desperate to break free from her criminal family, she aligns herself with the brooding Vail. Together they seek justice while each secretly works for freedom and a fresh start. For Lyric that means holding herself apart, even from the smoldering blue-eyed Vail. For Vail, it means a battle to the death for revenge—and for a temptress he can’t deny.








My Summary:
Vail was taken as a baby, as part of a boon (a payment) that had to be paid for a debt from the past, to live in Faery.  Once it is discovered that Vail is a full blooded Vampire, he is taught to hate everything about the outside world and vampires.  After a doing a favor for a friend Vail finds himself banished from Faery, the only home he has ever known, to the mortal world.  Not knowing whom to turn to Vail finds himself seeking out his family, the same family that gave him up as a baby.    Rhys gives Vail a fresh start, a house, a car, the tools he needs for revenge and now a job.  A simple job… find a Vampiress and a dress.
Lyric is so tired of living under her mother’s roof.  She dreams of running away to join the circus or finding a deserted island somewhere. Lyric just wants to start a new life.  So when Lyric’s mother asked her to deliver a dress, she’s not so willing to do it, but agrees anyways, it is too hard to say no to her mother.   Knowing she will be able to get away at least for a little while will be nice.  That is until she finds out what the dress is and who she has to deliver it to.  That is when Lyric panics.  But panic is short lived when one of the windows in her bedroom breaks and she takes a fist to the side of the head….then she blacks out.
 Vail’s job is to find the Vampiress and the dress. Turn the Vampiress over to her mother, return the dress to Rhys.  Get the information that he needs about his real father and then kill him.  But everything changes when Vail actually catches Lyric.  There is something about the Vampiress that draws him in.  Vail doesn’t understand, because he has always been taught that Vampires in the mortal world are dirty creatures.  Lyric is the opposite of everything that he was ever taught.



Please met Vail
Michele’s Vision of Vaillant and I think it is PERFECT!!!
Right down to Green Snake (who you meet in the book)


This is how I picture Vail and Lyric


Check out the book trailer for Forever Vampire HERE



My Thoughts:


I have been looking forward to reading this book since I finished Seducing the Vampire.  In Seducing the Vampire we are introduced to Vaillant at the very end of the book.  I won’t tell you too much about Seducing the Vampire, but you can read my review HERE. 

I was fortunate to be able to read this book before the release day on April 19th.  I enjoyed this book so very, very much.
The chemistry between Vail and Lyric is hot.  They play off each other so well.  Vail is stubborn to a fault. Vail is such a sweet guy, sexy as hell and is just trying to find his place in a world he knows nothing about.  Lyric is a girl who knows what she wants and now she wants 100% of Vaillant.  And once Vail gets over his fear of the unknown he learns what and who is important to him.
I am hoping that Michele will bring Vail and Lyric back in a future book.  I want to know how these two are doing.  But after talking to Michele she has no plans for them right now. *Crossing my fingers*

GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!

I have decided that I love Vail so much I want to give away his book.  Well Michele did one better!! Michele is willing to give away a set of books.  These books: Her Vampire Husband, Seducing the Vampire and Forever Vampire.  





 

So I will make this really, really simple for you.  All you have to do is leave a comment and why you want this book and your email address.   
Contest Ends April 13th.
Winner will be announced on April 14th.

Surrender to Me by Shayla Black (aka Shelley Bradley)

Available March 1st

A secret fantasy.
Hunter had everything until a bullet iced his career as a Navy SEAL. Restless and uncertain about his future, he accepts an intriguing proposition: share an acquaintance’s girlfriend and fulfill her fantasy of a ménage. It should have been just a night of sexual adventure between three consenting adults. But Kata is like no other girl Hunter has ever met. By turns audacious and sexy, then vulnerable and aloof, she’s a heartbreaker he’s determined to master. But he needs more than one night. And he wants to do it alone.


An uncontrollable obsession.
Kata never expected to leave her comfortable relationship and explore something so dangerously forbidden with a stranger. Hard as she tries to resist, the guilty pleasure overwhelms her, and she surrenders herself, inch by inch, to the hardcore man who wants her for himself. Consumed by blazing desire, they’re soon threatened by the shadows of the past. And now to keep Kata safe, Hunter makes her a bold proposition of his own. Saying yes will destroy her heart. But saying no could cost Kata her life.

*Warning if you have are opposed to BDSM you should stop here.  This book is ultra HOT but if you can’t handle a little bondage, a little of being dominated by a super hot guy then this is not the book for you… But if you can handle all that, you need to read this book*

Want to read more?  I know you do… here is an excerpt  *warning it is HOT!!!* HERE

My Thoughts:
Hunter is a Dom (dominant) and loves to be in control. Inside and outside of the bedroom.  And he wants Kata to be his Sub (submit) in every way.  But Kata fights him for that control, even if she can’t resist him sexual.   She doesn’t want to be her mother, who allowed her stepfather to control every part of her life.  Kata knows that this relationship with Hunter will never work.

Hunter is controlling and Kata will not be controlled. Hunter falls for Kata the minute he looks at her and knows that Kata is meant to be his everything and he would do anything for her.  Kata feels the pull of attraction too, but it takes her a little while to come to grips with her feelings.  And by the time she does it may be too late.   

These two are like a lit match and gasoline… FREAKIN Hot!!! 
*Fanning myself*  
Wow!!!  JUST WOW!!!!!
Okay now that I have caught my breath from this book. I have to say that Shayla Black knows how to write some damn hot sex scenes.  Nipple clamps, hand cuffs, blind folds, these items never sounded so good.  I so loved this book.  I mean does it get any better than lots and lots of sex?  From the very beginning this book was about the sex.  No waiting till page 200 something. 
This is book 4 in Shayla Black’s Wicked Lover’s Series.   I did break my own rule.  Normally I don’t read a book in the middle of a series, but I received this book from Shayla and knew that I couldn’t wait. Book 5 in the Wicked Lover’s Series Belong to Me will be out in October 2011. 

A special THANK YOU to Shayla Black for sending me this ARC I truly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for Belong to Me (Logan is so yummy & has great taste in furniture *wink, wink* )  I will be going back and reading the first three in this series too.  
So what are you waiting for?  You need to go an buy this book and learn what it is like to have a Wicked Lover…..
