BOOK SYNOPSIS:
By the close of 1882, the inhabitants of the American West had earned their reputation as untamed and dangerous. The line between heroes and villains is narrow and indistinct. The concept that a man may only kill if backed into a corner is antiquated. Lives are worth less than horses. Treasures are worth killing for. And the law is written in the blood of those who came before. The only men staving off total chaos are the few who take the letter of the law at its word and risk their lives to uphold it. But in the West, the rules aren’t always played according to Hoyle.
U.S. Marshals Eli Flynn and William Henry Washington are escorting two prisoners to New Orleans for trial when they discover there’s more to the infamous shootist Dusty Rose and the enigmatic man known only as Cage than merely being outlaws. When forces beyond the marshals’ control converge on the paddlewheeler they have hired to take them downriver, they must choose between two dangers: playing by the rules at any cost or trusting the very men they are meant to bring to justice.
REVIEW:
I did not anticipate liking this book at all, I do not like Westerns. However, I’m a huge fan of Abigail Roux’s Cut & Run series so figured I’d give this one a try. I actually loved this book. As always Roux’s characters have extremely strong and likable personalities. You’re instantly connected to each character to the point that you forget you’re reading a book. It is a m/m story, but nothing too bad that would make you blush. The relationships were organic and real and I was completely engrossed. There was a pivotal scene in the book that I personally felt went on way too long. I got kinda bored with that part of the story, but I understand her reasoning for it. The characters kept it alive for me at that time, but I was ready for a change of scenery by the end. As far as I can tell there is no plan for a sequel to this book, however I would definitely read one. I’m still interested in these characters and would love to see more of them.

TITLE: Cursed By Fire
SERIES #: Immortal Brothers #1
CHARACTERS: Dethan & Selinda
AUTHOR: Jacquelyn Frank
PUBLICATION DATE: 02/24/15
ORDER LINKS: :Amazon| B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes the scorching hot first book in a thrilling new series featuring four warrior brothers who have the power—and the curse—of immortality.
For centuries, Dethan has been trapped in a fiery inferno for defying the gods and snatching the power of immortality. Condemned to have his battle-hardened body licked by flames only to regenerate and be consumed all over again, Dethan has lost all hope—until the Goddess of Conflict appears. She will release him from torment—if he’ll use his power and strength as a warrior to raise an army and defeat a fierce enemy faction of gods.
Free to live as a man once again, Dethan meets Selinda—heir to the throne of Hexis—and his thoughts quickly turn from the conquest of cities to the conquest of this headstrong beauty. Betrothed to a cruel, calculating powermonger, Selinda needs a champion, and so Dethan enters into another bargain: If she will share her bed—and her body—with him, Dethan will save her city from destructive forces within and without. As the lovers ignite a searing passion, Dethan will risk all—even the wrath of the Goddess of Conflict—for a chance to make Selinda his forever.
REVIEW:
I was worried about starting a new series from an author that I recently found. I enjoy the other series so would I like this one? The answer is yes. I enjoyed it very much.
Dethan is a great character. He is a conflicted character who never believed he could find something as great as being a warrior but then he finds love. Selinda was just ok for me. She was hard to get to like but eventually I did.
Give this new series a try.

REVIEW:

But being the hopeless romantic he is, Venom wants to woo Evelyn the way a human would. But that means letting her walk away.
By walking away, Evelyn just went from the fry pan into the fire.
Evelyn Foxe has not been have a good couple of months. First she get’s fired, then she finds out that mob is after her because of her mother, and lastly she finds herself doing something she never would have ever thought she would have to do. But when her first John walks through the door there is something, something very strange about this man. Yet, she is drawn to him.

Venom!!!! Yay!!! Finally Venom get’s his story.
I enjoyed Venom story, although I was a little sad that Venom had to share so much of his story with Ivar and Gage. These storylines are important to the series, but I really wanted more of Venom. There were also a few questions and topics that I felt were left unresolved. I am hoping that we will get some closure on these in the next book. Overall, I loved Venom’s story.
We got a new narrator for Fury of Obsession. This is the first time that I have listened to Cole Ferguson. I will say that at first I was a little confused and sad, mostly because I was use to the old narrator. But after a little bit and a few chapters I started to enjoy Cole. I will say that I think he did Venom perfectly *fans self*. I mean come on Venom is danger wrapped in yummy.
I am looking forward to the next book in this series and I hope that Cole will continue as the narrator. Question is who is next?

TITLE: The Duke of Andelot
SERIES #: The School of Gallantry #7
CHARACTERS: Thérèse Angelique Bouchard & Gérard Antoine Tolbert
AUTHOR: Delilah Marvelle
PUBLICATION DATE: April 10, 2015
ORDER LINKS:Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
For fans of Tom Jones and The Scarlet Pimpernel comes a twisted, sexy tale that takes the French Revolution to smoldering new heights.
Long before becoming the flamboyant courtesan known to men as Madame de Maitenon, Thérèse Angelique Bouchard, dreamed of becoming an actress capable of commanding not only the stage but all of Paris. Until she meets an extraordinary aristocratic gentleman who sweeps her into his arms and the danger of his life, while offering her the sort of wealth she never imagined. What starts off as a seductive alliance, ends in her giving him the one thing she, as a mere bourgeoisie, cannot afford to give: her love.
After the murder of his older brothers, Gérard Antoine Tolbert, becomes the last heir to the powerful dukedom of Andelot, leaving him to fight for not only his life, but the allegiance he holds for the crown. During the final rise of the French Revolution that whispers of the violent change about to shake the entire country, Gérard meets an aspiring actress who entices him into wanting more out of not only himself but life. In trying to protect her from their overly passionate alliance and those that want him dead, he must decide what matters most: his life or his heart.
WARNING: This book contains strong language and sexual content which may cause respectable people to swoon.
REVIEW: Finishing this book was wonderful, yet sad. I was ecstatic when Delilah announced she was continuing with this series and have enthusiastically awaited each new release. The series has been a phenomenal journey, spanning so many amazing characters and stories. It is with extreme excitement that I began this story, knowing it centered on the sun of this wonderful universe Delilah created – Madame Maitenon! Her story is full of comedy, tragedy and plain ‘ol scandal! I have loved Therese ever since we were first introduced to her in Mistress of Pleasure. She is such a daring, strong character that you can’t help but admire her courage and strength. This story begins over thirty years prior to where the entire series ended up. We get to see Therese as a young girl, getting into all kinds of craziness through her association with a dashing Duke – Gerard Tolbert. Slight spoiler alert – Therese and Gerard meet in the forest. I swear I could have lived this entire story in that forest. Seeing these two characters interact literally exploded the pages of my book. I was so deeply invested in their story I couldn’t put it down. They are extremely funny together, sinfully explicit and wonderfully flawed. So much heartache between these two – so much love. It is a gripping tale that completes the stories of two of our favorite characters in this series. I am very sad that this is the end of The School of Gallantry, but thank goodness for the amazing tales.

AUTHOR: Donna Grant
PUBLICATION DATE: March 31, 2015
ORDER LINKS:Amazon| B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
That one simple kiss slayed him as nothing in his very, very long life had ever done. It physically hurt him to release her and turn his back on everything she offered, but it was for the best.
A KING WHO WALKS IN DARKNESS
The Rhys who has existed for centuries is gone. Stripped of his ability to shift forms, Rhys can no longer embody the majestic, powerful dragon he was at birth. Cut off from his heritage by one of his own, this Dragon King must remain a man, haunted by demons who torment his every waking moment. The darkness would swallow him whole . . . except a woman so beautiful and haunted becomes the one beam of light in his world…
A DESIRE THAT WILL NOT BE DENIED
Lily Ross is taking the first step in building a new life for herself. Still reeling from a relationship that nearly broke her spirit, Lily is wary of her attraction to brawny, brooding Rhys. The passion burning so brightly between them is a potent temptation, but any entanglement is destined to end in disaster. Yet when a spectre from Lily’s past threatens their growing bond, Rhys is forced to choose with his heart, or lose this woman who has become his one chance at salvation.
REVIEW:
I read Night’s Blaze in four parts here are my thoughts after each part. A full review of all four parts will be posted on the blog during release month.
Review of Part One:
Oh it is good to be back with Ms. Grants Dragons. They are all so snarly and yummy. Where to start with Rhys? Poor guy. I feel so much for him right now. But at the same time I want to slap him silly. Come on Rhys get it together Lily needs you.
As always reading this book in parts is both fun and nerve racking, because I am ready for part two now!!!!
Review of Part Two:
Oh why must it be in four parts… Just when things are getting good. Bam end of part two. I am dying to know what part Henry will play in… well you need to read to find out what I am talking about. Rhys and Lily are so sweet together. But I wish she would just open up to him and tell him her problems.
On to part three……
Review of Part Three:
Talk about leaving me hanging… Authors just love to give readers anxiety. But I guess without a little drama the story would be boring… I could not wait and had the luxury of having part four waiting for me. So off I go.
Review of Part Four:
Oh my goodness more and more anxiety. Man alive I am glad I didn’t have to wait to read the final part of this story. Well we may have gotten a happy ever after I think we were left with a sneak peak into what and who is torturing Rhi. But the ending. OMG NO RHI!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO.
Overall review.
Another great Dark King story. Although, we are left with a lot of questions about what is going to happen next. Just thinking about it gives me some anxiety. I really enjoyed Rhys and Lily.

TITLE: Still The One
SERIES #: Animal Magnetism
CHARACTERS: Darcy & AJ
AUTHOR: Jill Shalvis
PUBLICATION DATE: April 7, 2015
ORDER LINKS:Amazon| B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Love is a dare in the sexy new romance by the award-winning New York Times bestselling author of the Animal Magnetism novels and the Lucky Harbor series…
Darcy Stone is game for anything—except sexy Navy vet and physical therapist AJ Colten, the guy who’d rejected her when she’d needed him most. Now the shoe is on the other foot and he needs her to play nice and help him secure grants for his patients. Unfortunately Darcy can’t refuse. She needs the money to fund her passion project: rescuing S&R dogs and placing them with emotionally wounded soldiers.
AJ admits it—Darcy is irresistible. But he’s already been battle-scarred by a strong-willed, vivacious, adventurous woman like Darcy, and he’s not making the same mistake twice—until he and Darcy are forced to fake a relationship. Growing closer than they’d ever imagined possible, Darcy and AJ have to ask themselves: how much between them is pretend? What’s the real thing? And where does it go from here?
KELLY’S REVIEW:
4 Stars Darcy has lived by the motto of don’t love and you won’t get hurt. But after her accident Darcy is starting to learn that she does need people to lean on. Just as long as it is not the hunky AJ that leaves her all twitterpated.
AJ has loved hard and lost hard. He doesn’t know if he has it in him to do it again. But with Darcy it is just so darn easy. Well Darcy herself is not easy. Oh no, she is a challenge inside a challenge inside a tightly sealed box. But AJ is a patient man.
As always Ms. Shalvis writes a story that tugs at my heartstrings. I really loved this story. When I got to the part with Raisin (she’s a dog) there were tears. I have a soft spot for sweet little doggies like Raisin. Loved AJ and Darcy. It was so much fun to watch these two dance circles around each other.
I can’t wait to see who is next in this series.
JENNIFER’S REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Darcy spent most of her life traveling the globe, running from the pain of her past and writing travel articles for magazines. Then one day, a horrible car accident changed all that and left Darcy with emotional and physical scars. A.J. has helped Darcy get her life back by working with her every week for months as her physical therapist and helped her find her true passion in life. Saving Search and Rescue dogs when they no longer able to work for S&R and transitioning them to become therapy companions for wounded soldiers. A.J. has always cared for Darcy but has never let her see his true feelings for her until they are forced to spend time together to help A.J. secure a grant so he can continue providing therapy for patients who desperately need it after their insurance benefits have run out. They both discover that faking a relationship is too easy when true feelings are involved and they both may discover that they have a future together if they just can take a leap of faith.
Darcy had built this wall around her emotionally to protect herself from getting involved with anyone and the only person able to break through it was A.J. Her parents never seemed to care for her while growing up so relationships were just fun and games as long as there were no real feelings involved. She was used to traveling the world and never staying at any one place for too long so being in Sunshine for her therapy had changed her in ways she never planned on. She had a home, friends and family and finally a real purpose in life that would help others who experienced what she had. She needed someone to look past the scars and the wall that she had built around herself and love the stubborn, spunky woman that she truly was.
A.J. was a great guy. He helped so many people in his career as a physical therapist and continued to help them even if their insurance was no longer paying for it because it was what they needed to get better. He was just as hard-headed as Darcy was and there were times that I wanted to smack both of these characters because they had love right in front of them. They just had to reach out and grab it, but they were both too stubborn to do it. A.J. knew exactly what Darcy went through with her accident and was afraid to love her due to a previous relationship ending badly. Once they were able to get over the pain of their past they were able to see that sometimes love isn’t always perfect but definitely worth the risk.
This is the sixth book in the Animal Magnetism series and I’m always impressed by the wonderful love stories that Ms. Shalvis creates with each new book that she writes. I’m looking forward to reading her next book coming out later this year.
KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
4 Stars
I am not sure I have ever read a book from Jill Shalvis that I have not enjoyed and that didn’t make me want to grab the next one in the series. And this was no different.
AJ is so sweet. The strong silent type. Afraid of getting his heart broken and yet is a good guy who deserves to feel the love of a good woman. And Darcy is a crack up. She has been through more than most and yet tries to hold her head high. And then there is Raisin… Oh goodness!
And be forewarned have a bag of gummy bears when you start reading. If you don’t have some you will be heading to the store to get some.

3.5 Hearts This is a short novella in the Guardians of Eternity series. Kata has been a prisoner and vampire Uriel is her escape. There is something very interesting about the two together. They are enjoyable and the story was over way too quickly.

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Hope Burns, a woman discovers that the man she least expects is exactly what she needs…
High school math teacher Chelsea Gardner has the perfect plan. She’s tired of dating all the wrong men, and after years of frustration, she’s developed a foolproof list of requirements for finding “The One.”
Bar owner Sebastian “Bash” Palmer finds Chelsea beautiful, smart and fun, but he thinks her list is ridiculous and unnecessary. Intent on proving Chelsea is looking for love in all the wrong ways, he offers to help her find the “perfect” man.
Chelsea knows Bash isn’t the right guy for her—he barely meets one of her criteria—but there’s something about the charismatic man that has her yearning for things that are most definitely not list approved.
Because sometimes, a relationship that looks totally wrong on paper can turn out incredibly right
REVIEW:
Bash is the anti-love, I have been burned before guy who is not looking for anything permanent. Except he has the major hots for the fiery redhead Chelsea.
Chelsea is looking for Mr. Perfect. Oh yes, Mr. Perfect she even has a list of all the qualities that her next man needs to have. But what Chelsea never planned on was Bash.
Love After All is another great story from Ms. Burton. I loved Bash and Chelsea. I loved Chelsea’s list. I even loved when Bash totally steps in it and messes everything up. I just loved this book. I truly enjoy every journey that Ms. Burton has taken me on every time we visit Hope, Oklahoma.

SERIES #: Immortal Brothers #2
CHARACTERS: Garreth & Sarielle
AUTHOR: Jacquelyn Frank
PUBLICATION DATE: March 31, 2015
ORDER LINKS:Amazon| B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes the smoothly sensual second book in an exciting new series featuring four immortal warrior brothers who must stake their hearts against their fate.
As punishment for plotting with his brothers to steal immortality, Garreth is suffering a freezing torment until the end of time. Again and again, his fierce fighter’s physique is frozen into a chiseled ice sculpture, his heart hardening like a diamond in his chest—only to thaw and resume the chilling torture. Until, like his older brother Dethan, he is offered a reprieve from a goddess—in exchange for his allegiance in a celestial civil war.
Garreth lives to fight and fights to live. But while laying siege to an embattled city, he finds another reason to go on—a beautiful warrior woman named Sarielle, who commands a mythic beast through a mysterious and powerful bond. Terrified of her strength, the city rulers have kept her captive, and now she refuses to submit to a new master. As Garreth seeks to unleash her passion and melt the icy resistance of her heart, will he become her ultimate salvation—or lead them both to greater destruction?
REVIEW:
This is the second installment in the Immortal Brothers series and this was just as strong as the first. I really liked Garreth and Sarielle. They each had distinct personalities that were easily likable. Garreth is definitely more likable and personable than Dethan was. Dethan was kinda just a big jerk for the majority of this book. I understood why, but I was also disappointed with him. However, Garreth and Sarielle definitely made up for it. I like how this author takes the time to let the characters truly develop and get to know one another. It gives a clear foundation that she can build on. It’s refreshing and believable. We also see new supporting characters introduced in this book that have real potential. I’m very curious what role these characters could potentially play in future books.

Everything’s bigger in Big Sky country, including the hearts of the Montana Men
Wide open sky, rolling green hills . . . Gillian Tucker could get used to life in the country—one far from the violence she left behind in San Francisco.

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Another great Montana Men story by Ms. Ryan. I loved Blake and Gillian’s story. There was so many ups and downs in this story. Every page brought to light a new issue and a new way to deal with said issue. While there were a few story lines that didn’t get explored as much as I would have liked, I loved how much Gillian grows as a person.
Blake is what every wounded bird ever needs. Blake is patient, yet push. He is gentle, yet doesn’t use too many kid gloves and loves so deeply..
Can’t wait to see what Ms. Ryan has in store for us next.

AUTHOR: Rebecca Zanetti
PUBLICATION DATE: March 31, 2015
ORDER LINKS:Amazon| B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A fight he must win…
Piper Oliver knows she can’t trust him. They warned her that the tall, dark, and sexy black-ops soldier Jory Dean would try to win her over with his steel-gray eyes and deadly charm, but she won’t be conned by this man they call a traitor. All she has to do is figure out the science necessary to save his life, and she’s done. Something isn’t adding up, though, and she won’t rest until she uncovers the truth-even if it’s buried in his deep, dangerous kiss.
A passion she can’t resist…
Jory will do anything to reunite with and save his brothers-even kidnap the gorgeous woman who’s working to deactivate the deadly chip in their spines. But the forces determined to destroy his family won’t let them go so easily. Keeping Piper alive is more than he bargained for-and so is his burning desire for her. But with every second bringing him closer to certain death, can he afford to lose himself in her hot and willing embrace?
KELLY’S REVIEW:
Where to begin?
Where to begin?
I am so sad and happy that this is the last of the Sin Brothers books. Happy because we finally get to see Jory and boy howdy is Jory something!!!! But more on Jory in a second. I am super sad that this is the last of the Sin Brothers series. But I have very high hopes that we will see more of the Sin Brothers in the future (trust me I am pretty sure we will).
I have loved the Dean boys from day one. Every book got better and better as the series went on. And with each book I fell in love a little more with each brother. But Jory was always a huge question mark. There were so many questions surrounding him and finally we get those questions answered.
I think after reading book one I called up Ms. Zanetti and begged and pleaded for her to tell me that Jory was going to be okay. And like any evil author she told me to suck it up and keep reading (yes, we have a very loving relationship). So I did just that and Total Surrender was so worth the wait (other than that actual waiting part).
I won’t tell you too much because I don’t want to spoil this book for you. I will tell you that Jory is my favorite of the brothers. I loved reading about him and Piper. Love everything about him, even when he is tricking Piper :). Loved Jory’s dedication and determination. Just flat out loved him..
So here is your warning about Total Surrender. Have tissues!!! And be ready for some water works.
So can’t wait to see what maybe next for the Sin Brothers. If you love them like I did please make sure to pick up a copy of Total Surrender and make sure to tell EVERYONE about this series.
KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
I have been waiting for Jory’s book since the first chapter of the first book and Zanetti saved the best for last (and that is saying something). Jory has been a soft spot in my heart and it hasn’t changed.
I am so saddened that this is the last of the Dean boys. I mean certainly there are a couple of half brothers in the world right? Come on please!!!! Oh well I will stop begging. Only because I know Zanetti has the next best series already in her head and I can’t wait to read it.
If you have not read the series… well first… WHAT? You need to read this series. But if you haven’t don’t start with this one. You need to read the whole series from the beginning. But trust me you will not be disappointed.
Jory and Piper are perfect. The Dean boys and their women are perfect. This series is perfect which only means I can give it the perfect 5 stars!
