Kelly & Kimberly review How To Run With A Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper

TITLE: How to Run with a Naked Werewolf
SERIES #: Naked Werewolf #3
CHARACTERS: Caleb Graham & Anna Moder
AUTHOR: Molly Harper
PUBLICATION DATE: December 31, 2013
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Caleb Graham is a werewolf by nature, a tracker by profession. He uses his “extra gifts” to find people, and not always in the most legal or ethical manner. He doesn’t care what they’ve done, or who wants them found, as long as his considerable fee is paid. He likes his life simple and uncomplicated.

Anna Moder, former physician to Caleb’s pack, happens across Caleb during a particularly violent “negotiation” that has left him bloodied and unconscious. She helps him, despite the fact that he’s cost her a car, so he insists that she stay with him on the road for a while. As they grow closer, Anna looks past the gruff exterior and and the questionable job to thoroughly decent werewolf underneath.

Anna – who is careful to edit her involvement with Caleb’s pack from their conversations – doesn’t talk about why a nice girl wants to live in the middle of frozen nowhere, but she’s obviously on the run from something. When Anna’s past collides with Caleb’s current assignment from one of his sleazier contacts, Caleb finally has to make a choice—protect his job…or his potential mate?

KELLY’S REVIEW:
4.5 HEARTS Anna Moder is a girl on the run. Running from a past that always seems to catch up with her. If she could just catch a break. Finally be able to settle down, set roots and not live in fear. But that is not going to happen, not when her ex is still out there looking for her.

Caleb is a man who does his job well, very well. As a bounty hunter he really doesn’t care why or who he is hunting as long as there is a pay check at the end of the job.

But what happens when you find out your latest assignment might be your mate? Guess you will have to read to find out.

Love, love, love everything that Molly Harper writes. I am really hoping that this is not the last book in the Naked Werewolf series. I really hope that we will get to visit the pack again really really soon.

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
4 HEARTS This is the first I have ever read Molly Harper and I have to say she actually made me chuckle out loud a couple of times. This is the third in a series but trust me you do not need to read the other books at all. Yes there are a couple of lines that make you realize you missed other characters backstory but it is not something that makes a difference to this story.

Anna is a strong and yet insecure woman. She has overcome a lot and yet her past is always right there in front of her with everything she does. She has been running a long time and really is just plain tired. But you can feel her strength through the pages and you just want to cheer her on. Caleb is an interesting character as well. While he was not the alpha wolf I expected him to be written as I was pleasantly surprised to find him just a “regular” werewolf….is there such a thing? He wasn’t alpha, he wasn’t beta, he was just himself. And I liked that about him. Is he my newest “book boyfriend”? Nope. But he is the type of guy you want to be friends with and would love to set your best friend up with.

This might be my first Harper book but it will not be my last. Her writing is fun and entertaining.

Kelly reviews Size Matters by Robyn Peterman

TITLE: Size Matters
SERIES #: Handcuffs & Happily Ever After #2
CHARACTERS: Mitch & Kristy
AUTHOR: Robyn Peterman
PUBLICATION DATE: December 19, 2013
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A few hard truths…Don’t bet on Hasselhoff, Bigfoot might actually exist, and searching for the impossible may lead you to your heart’s desire…

It’s a big fat hairy deal when I lose yet another bet to my best friend, Rena. Not only do I end up attending Bigfoot meetings with her kooky Aunt Phyllis, I find myself traveling with a band of reality TV, Sasquatch-hunting nut-jobs! Not to mention a suspiciously shady film crew. As if those little nuggets weren’t enough to send me on the express-train to Crazytown…I stupidly swore off men!

Clearly all this would mess up any gal’s social life, but the worst part of the story? The minute I send my libido on vacation, I meet Mitch. Yep, Mitch, the sexiest cop ev-ah. The hottest, best kissing, finest tushied, SINGLE guy I’ve ever laid eyes on. I’d rather be hot on his trail than anything that involves the word Big or Foot. But sometimes what you’re hunting for has been right in front of you all along

REVIEW:
This is was fun read. We met Kristy briefly in “How Hard Can It Be” (which was super funny and you really should read) and her best gal pal Rena. But In Size Matters we find out the Kristy has been extremely unlucky in love. Like beyond unlucky in love. Oh and Kristy really should never beat on anything. She is guaranteed to lose. Hence the reason Kristy finds herself driving Aunt Moon-Unit (Yes Moon-Unit) to a month worth of Bigfoot believer meetings. But that is only the start of Kristy’s trouble.
Kristy takes yet another beat from her best pal. What is the bet? That she won’t fall head over heels for Jack’s (who is Rena’s boyfriend)best friend and new partner. Kristy knows this a beat that she can’t lose. No way, no how, not ever going to happen. You see Kristy has sworn off dating cops.
But then women’s shelter she runs is broken into and she comes face to face with the most amazing man she has ever seen. From that moment on things don’t go according to plan. Oh heck the completely and udderly blow up in Kristy’s face.

I love Robyn’s writing style. She is so funny. Her characters are fun and have some of the most colorful language I have ever read. I often wonder where the heck Robyn grow up at to learn such language. If you have not given Robyn’s books a try you really should. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Kimberly reviews The Perfect Match by Kristan Higgins

TITLE: The Perfect Match
SERIES #: Blue Heron #2
CHARACTERS: Honor & Tom
AUTHOR: Kristan Higgins
PUBLICATION DATE: 10/29/13
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
What if the perfect match is a perfect surprise?

Honor Holland has just been unceremoniously rejected by her lifelong crush. And now—a mere three weeks later—Mr. Perfect is engaged to her best friend. But resilient, reliable Honor is going to pick herself up, dust herself off and get back out there or she would if dating in Manningsport, New York, population 715, wasn’t easier said than done.

Charming, handsome British professor Tom Barlow just wants to do right by his unofficial stepson, Charlie, but his visa is about to expire. Now Tom must either get a green card or leave the States—and leave Charlie behind.

In a moment of impulsiveness, Honor agrees to help Tom with a marriage of convenience—and make her ex jealous in the process. But juggling a fiancé, hiding out from her former best friend and managing her job at the family vineyard isn’t easy. And as sparks start to fly between Honor and Tom, they might discover that their pretend relationship is far too perfect to be anything but true love.

REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts I enjoyed this book. Maybe not as much as Higgin’s other books but it is still an enjoyable read. There is just something a little off about this story and I don’t exactly know what it is. The characters really do not have any chemistry which is a shame.

I liked Honor when she was a background player in the first in the series so I expected to like her in this one and I did but I just didn’t love her. Or Tom really. I think the beginning of the book was a little slow and then the ending seemed to zoom by.

Now that all being said there is no such thing as a bag book by Higgins. She is one of the best in the contemporary romance genre so even a book that isn’t perfect is still great and this one is a good story. I just wouldn’t read it and not give her other books a try.

Anthology includes:

This Time Next Year by Alison Kent

A Rare Gift by Jaci Burton

It’s Not Christmas Without You by HelenKay Dimon

Mistletoe and Margaritas by Shannon Stacey

REVIEW:
4.5 HEARTS This Time Next Year: A snowing road, a deer and a snow bank. Not the best way to spend your last Christmas in the US with your Gran. But being saved by a man on horseback was never in the plans. This was a good story. Although I was extremely upset with Brenna for leaving.

A Rare Gift: This is my second time reading this story and I loved it just as much as I did the first time. Wyatt & Calliope are so cute together. I love the she pushes so much. If you are a fan of Jaci’s you will love this story. Also this is #2 in the Kent Brothers trilogy.

It’s Not Christmas Without You: I enjoyed this story. Austin & Carrie are great. I loved that Austin didn’t give up on what he wants and he wants Carrie. But when he realizes that Carrie doesn’t need him like he needs her, he does what he never thought he would do. He walks away. This is book #1 in the Holloway Series

Mistletoe and Margaritas: I think this was my favorite story of the four. It made my heartbreak, it made me cry and it made me so happy. Justin & Claire are so good together. I really would love for Shannon to write a follow up story on these two. I want to know how the future turns out for them.

Kelly & Kimberly review Reaver by Larissa Ione

TITLE: Reaver
SERIES #: Demonica #10/Lords of Deliverance #5
CHARACTERS: Reaver & Harvester
AUTHOR: Larissa Ione
PUBLICATION DATE: Dec 17, 2013
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
WARRIOR OF HEAVEN

Reaver is an angel with a past, a record, and a less-than-heavenly attitude. Powerful enough to fight alongside the fiercest battle angels-and crazy enough to risk his wings on a one-way mission to hell-he’s agreed to go where no angel has ever gone before…to steal the most seductive and dangerous prize of Satan himself.

ANGEL OF HELL

Harvester is one of the Fallen, a once-heroic angel who sacrificed her wings to work as an undercover agent in hell. But now her cover has been blown, and she’s been doomed to an eternity of agonizing torture. Even if Reaver can snatch her away from Satan’s lair, even if they can fight their way out of the underworld’s darkest depths, there is one thing Harvester can never escape-her newfound thirst for an angel’s blood.

KELLY’S REVIEW:
4.5 HEARTS Another great books by Larissa. I am so in love with the Demonica/Lords of Deliverance series it is not funny. I am really sad that it will be ending soon (I think only one more book :’( ), but back to Reaver. But a disclaimer first: If you have not read the first nine books in this series you really need to stop right here and start from book one. While I think you can read Reaver, I would not recommend it. There is so much that happens in the prior books that you might be lost. So that being said here is my review.

I love this angel even if he is at times an ass. But he is a good guy and wants what is best for the people around him. And Reaver is not afraid to break the rules to do so. And he sure breaks a few rules in this book Harvester, so many readers hate her. Have hated her. And hate that she is Reavers chosen one. But I have been a Harvester fan from day one. I love this Fallen Angel. She is really a good person put into a horrible situation.
Reaver & Harvester are great together. They both have learned over the years to not trust, to not lean on people, to not expect that things will go right. But to get out of Hell alive they are going to have to rely on each other, which might be hard to do since they seem to hate each other. But there is a super fine line between love and hate. And what happens when one of them takes a leap of fate and crosses that line?
Will the find that the other is waiting with open arms or will the find the sharp point of a sword in their heart?
Guess you will have to wait and see.

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
There is none better than Larissa Ione to have you instantly pulled into her world by page one. And while her world is filled with demons, Angels and Satan himself you still enjoy the trip.

I have been waiting for Reaver’s story for a while now and was not disappointed. There was never a doubt who Reaver should be. I mean who better than Harvester? Their story has been on going which means I would suggest you not read this as a stand alone. But then who would want to? Ione’s books are a joy a reader has never known before.

Reaver is a interesting mix of angel and ass. Yes you read that right. He can be such a jerk but something about him makes the reader fall for him. And Harvester… Well she is bad ass and yet you gotta love her.

Trust me you will never regret picking up a Ione novel.

Kelly reviews Archangel’s Legion by Nalini Singh

TITLE: Archangel’s Legion
SERIES #: Guild Hunter #6
CHARACTERS: Raphael & Elena
AUTHOR: Nalini Singh
NARRATOR: Justine Eyre
PUBLICATION DATE: October 29, 2013
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N | Audible

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Angels are falling from the sky in New York, struck down by a vicious, unknown force.Vampires are dying impossibly of disease.Guild hunter Elena Deveraux and the Archangel Raphael must discover the source of the wave of death before it engulfs their city and their people, leaving New York in ruin and Raphael’s Tower under siege by enemy archangels.Yet even as they fight desperately to save the city, an even darker force is stirring, its chill eyes trained on New York . . . and on Raphael.

REVIEW:
5+ HEARTS Sometime you get to the last chapter of a book and think “Should I keep reading/listening or do I want one more minute, hour, day, or week?”. That is how I felt with Archangel’s Legion. It was like saying goodbye to a good friend that you know you won’t see for a whole year. I am so in love with Nalini’s Guild Hunter’s series I hope that she never stops writing. I serious love everything about this book. Raphael & Elena are just beyond awesome together. Raphael’s 7 are just flat out amazing. I so can’t wait for Nalini to write Illium’s book, I so love Bluebell!!!
I had the great honor to listen to this. I have listened to all of the Guild Hunter books on audio and total love Justine Eyre. I really enjoyed how many voices she is able to do with each being so distinct. You always know who is talking without her telling you. I am beyond excited to see what Nalini has in store for us next and very excited for Justine to tell me the story.
If you are new to Nalini’s Guild Hunter series. You have to start with book 1 there is no wiggle room on this one. All the books are so interwoven that you would be lost with out the history of each book. If you love audio books I would highly suggest giving the Guild Hunter series a spin.

Kimberly reviews Snow White and The Vampire by Marina Myles

TITLE: Snow White and The Vampire
SERIES #: Cursed Princess #2
CHARACTERS: Alba & Dimitri
AUTHOR: Marina Myles
PUBLICATION DATE: 12/19/13
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Fog And Fascination

Alba Spencer thought her past in Romania and the dark magic that haunted it was behind her forever. She is one of the first female barristers now, safe in London. But London has its dark side, too. A man called the Ripper stalks the midnight streets. There are rumors that her hated stepmother has found her again, suggestions that the nightmares of her childhood are returning. And with them appears the cursed Gypsy boy she once loved, grown into a man more seductive and more terrifying than she ever could have dreamed…

Dimitri Grigorescu has become a surgeon, a gentleman—and a vampire. The lusts that drive his body are scarcely under control, and even he does not truly know what he is capable of. To fight evil and confusion, Alba must rely only on her wits—and a desire that overwhelms her doubts…

REVIEW:
2.5 HEARTS Hmmm well lets see. This is an interesting story with a very big twist on both Snow White and on vampires. The story held my attention. I wanted to know what was going to happen, mainly because of how unique the story is. However, the characters are not interesting in the least. I didn’t care for any of them to tell the truth.

If you are interested in the fairy tale or of the lure of vampires this is not for you. If you enjoy a oddly written historical paranormal then, hey, this might be just up your alley.

Kelly reviews The Duke’s Match Girl by Lila DiPasqua

TITLE: The Duke’s Match Girl- A Fiery Tale Novella
SERIES #: Fiery Tales #4.5
CHARACTERS: Leo & Suzanne
AUTHOR: Lila DiPasqua
PUBLICATION DATE: December 3, 2013

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
As childhood friends, Leopold d’Ermart and Suzanne Matchet were inseparable. One unforgettable Christmas Eve, their relationship changed from the best of friends…to lovers. But the heir of the Duke of Mont-Marly isn’t supposed to fall in love with the daughter of his family’s physician. Or vice versa.

Is this a second chance at first love?
Years later, Suzanne is dreading her first Christmas without her father. The heartbreak Leo caused when he left seven years ago is a distant memory. And she prefers to keep it that way. The last thing Suzanne expects is for tall, dark, and sinfully seductive Leo d’Ermart to show up at her door and announce he wants her back in his life. And in his bed. Worse, the now celebrated libertine is even more devastating to a woman’s senses than ever before…

Or are they playing with fire?
The only woman Leo, Duke of Mont-Marly, has ever yearned for is the adorably unconventional, intelligent beauty who got away. He discovers Suzanne creating and selling matchsticks, elixirs for the ill…and is still so damned alluring. Leo is determined to show her the depth of his desire, win back Suzanne’s heart. And give her a Christmas beyond her wildest imagination…

REVIEW:
4.5 HEARTS I don’t think anyone can twist a fairy tale and tell such an amazing story quite like Lila. I loved this story. I loved the tension between Leo & Suzanne. Although I wanted to kick Leo’s butt for hurting Suzanne like that. Leo & Suzanne’s history is very heart breaking and while it would have ruined the story I wish that he would have fought for her. But being a novella I am not going to tell you any more.
Just know that if you have loved any of Lila’s books you will love this story. If you are new to Lila and her Fiery Tales you can easily read The Duke’s Match Girl as a stand alone.

Kelly & Kimberly review Her Sexist Mistake by Jill Shalvis

TITLE: Her Sexiest Mistake
CHARACTERS: Kevin McKnight & Mai Appleby
AUTHOR: Jill Shalivs
PUBLICATION DATE: Release Nov 5, 2013
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Mia Appleby finally has the life she always wanted. She’s escaped her trailer trash childhood and built a nice life for herself with a marketing job and a cute, little condo. But no matter how much baggage she’s ditched from her past, she still hasn’t managed to shake her greatest weakness-men. So when her new neighbor turns out to be single and oh-so-sexy, Mia’s worried she’s playing with fire . . .

Kevin McKnight can’t get enough of his gorgeous neighbor, but after one amazing night, she’s already showing him the door. Something tells him this is the way she handles most men. But Kevin is far from your average guy-and he’s ready to prove it to Mia. When a blast from her past shakes up Mia’s life in a major way, will she stick with her self-sufficient solo act . . . or take a chance leaning on Kevin’s strong shoulders?

KELLY’S REVIEW:
3.5 HEARTS As a huge Jill Shalvis fan I am willing to read any of her books. So when Her Sexiest Mistake came up for review I jumped at the chance. Her Sexiest Mistake was originally released in December of 2005. While I was happy to read this book it was not up to the normally standards I have set for Jill’s books. Her Sexiest Mistake is still a great read, but I love to see how Jill has grown as another over the years.

Kevin was awesome. He is such a giving guy. So giving that he is almost a pushover, but that just makes him more lovable. Mia, while acting all tough and in control is really that same scared little girl she was as a kid. I really liked how patient Kevin was with her, but at times I wanted him to slam the door in her face and never look back. But when that did finally happy I was really sad. But as with all Jill’s books she can not leave them unhappy.

I loved the side stories in this books too. I just loved Mike & Tess!!! And of course Hope! What would a love story be without a pain in the butt teenager.

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
3 HEARTS This is a re-release from 2005 and I can honestly say that over the last decade Jill Shalvis’s books have improved ten-fold. Don’t get me wrong I liked this story but not as much as I enjoy what she writes now.

Something was just off with Mia. I never warmed up to her. Kevin was sweet but a bit of a door mat. I think Mia was supposed to be standoffish because of her past but she actually just seemed self absorbed and unfriendly. I liked the story and there some parts of it that pulls you in but then Mia does something again and you just don’t enjoy it as much.

Kelly reviews Striking Distance by Pamela Clare

TITLE: Striking Distance
SERIES #: I-Team #6
CHARACTERS: Javier Corbray & Laura Nilsson
AUTHOR: Pamela Clare
PUBLICATION DATE: November 5, 2013
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Her past is a secret—even to her.
Discovering it will be the most dangerous move of her life.

TV reporter Laura Nilsson, known as the “Baghdad Babe,” spent eighteen months in an Al Qaeda compound after being kidnapped live on the air. Two years later, she’s still wondering why.

No rescue mission in Javier Corbray’s fourteen years as a Navy SEAL affected him the way Laura’s rescue did. No woman has stirred his protective instincts the way she has. And he wants her more than he’s ever wanted anyone.

As Laura and Javier’s passion ignites, so does Laura’s need to discover the mystery of her past. Especially when she learns that her abduction was not random—and that she’s still a target for a killer with an impenetrable motive. Now Javier will have to rely on his skills to keep the woman he loves from being struck down before she dares uncover the truth

REVIEW:
I liked this story but was not in love with it. This was an extremely intense story with a lot of sorrow and hurt. Maybe that is way I did not feel connected with the story. I thinking that if you are a fan of Pamela’s you will enjoy Javier & Laura’s story. This being my first Pamela Clare story I think it was just a little to intense for my mind frame at the time I read.
I do plan on giving Pamela’s I-Team series another shot.

Kimberly reviews Castle Hill by Samantha Young

TITLE: Castle Hill
SERIES #: On Dublin Street #2.5
CHARACTERS: Joss & Braden
AUTHOR: Samantha Young
PUBLICATION DATE: 12/03/13
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Braden Carmichael never imagined he’d fall as hard and as fast as he did for Jocelyn Butler. He also could not have anticipated how difficult it would be to convince her to give in to love. But now that he has her, he’s never letting go. He’s got it all planned—the passionate proposal, the dream wedding, the sexy Hawaiian honeymoon—even the perfect family they’ll start.

After trying to flee from her painful past, Joss is finally allowing herself to embrace the future. But when things start moving faster than she anticipated, she finds herself panicking over something Braden can’t understand. After everything they’ve been through, Joss is sure that their love can survive even her worst fears. But, this time, she may push Braden too far—and risk losing everything all over again…

REVIEW:
This is a short novella catching us up to what has been happening to Joss and Braden from book one. It was so great to look back at this amazing couple. There is something that pulls you in about these two.

What I enjoy about this author is that Joss didn’t miraculously get better by the end of book one. She still suffers from her PTSD. She still has issues that she may never overcome and yet she is trying so hard. Braden is such a sweetheart. While he has a moment so unlike himself in this book it is understandable. He has his own issues and sometimes they flair.

I loved getting this little bit of Joss and Braden and look forward to the rest of the series.
