Available Now
 Dragon Bound (Elder Races #1)
Half-human and half-wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful – and passionate – of the Elder races.

As the most feared and respected of the Wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed. And when he catches the thief, Dragos spares her life, claiming her as his own to further explore the desire they’ve ignited in each other.

Pia knows she must repay Dragos for her trespass, but refuses to become his slave – although she cannot deny wanting him, body and soul

One Tip about Dragons:
Never, I repeat, Never, Ever, Ever steal from a Dragon
My thoughts:
Thea is a flipping genius!!!!! I love the world that she has created in this book.  I loved this book from page one!!! 
Dragos is the big, scary, and tougher than anything last known Dragon.  And boy does he let everyone know it, and watch out world when he is mad.  But Dragos, who has been there, done that, seen everything there is to see, is about to get his world turned upside down by one very small, sweet, innocent little girl, who decided to steal a penny.  Yes a PENNY…
Pia is a sweet, shy, fly under the radar, but if you mess with me I will kick your ass kinda girl.  But now she is on the run.  She has made way one too many mistakes lately and now they have all caught up with her in the form of one very pissed off Dragon.
Tip Two about Dragons:
Never argue with a Dragon, Just always agree. It makes life easier…Not!!!!
Dragos is furious and lovable (in an I could eat you way) but he cares for Pia beyond reason.
Pia is a force to be reckoned with.  I love the she kicks the boy’s butts in the gym *go Pia, go Pia*
Tip Three about Dragons:
If you ever find yourself falling in Love with one, be patient with him.  He has never known love and therefore misunderstands a lot.  But never fear, he are trainable.

(ARC) Deeper Than Midnight by Lara Adrian (book 9 Midnight Breed Series) & Giveaway!!!!

Delivered from the darkness, a woman finds herself plunged into a passion that is DEEPER THAN MIDNIGHT . . .
At eighteen, Corinne Bishop was a beautiful, spirited young woman living a life of privilege as the adopted daughter of a wealthy family. Her world was changed in an instant when she was stolen away and held prisoner by the malevolent vampire Dragos. After many years of captivity and torment, Corinne is rescued by the Order, a cadre of vampire warriors embroiled in a war against Dragos and his followers. Her innocence taken, Corinne has lost a piece of her heart as well–the one thing that gave her hope during her imprisonment, and the only thing that matters to her now that she is free.
Assigned to safeguard Corinne on her trip home is a formidable golden-eyed Breed male called Hunter. Once Dragos’s most deadly assassin, Hunter now works for the Order, and he’s hell-bent on making Dragos pay for his manifold sins. Bonded to Corinne by their mutual desire, Hunter will have to decide how far he’ll go to end Dragos’s reign of evil–even if carrying out his mission means shattering Corinne’s tender heart.

My Thoughts: 
First I have to say HUGE THANK YOU to Lara & her assistant Heather for being do wonderful and allowing me to read Hunter’s story early. 
Deeper Than Midnight is book nine in Lara Adrian’s Midnight Breed Series .  This book is Hunter’s story the former Assassin for Dragos turned Breed Warrior. 
Hunter is strong, determined, unafraid, unwavering, he is simple a perfect killing machine.  Whether for Dragos or the Order this is just what he was breed to do.  But in Deeper Than Midnight we see a whole new side of Hunter.  Yes, we have seen his affection for Mira, but you have not seen Hunter like this.  I have to say that I liked Hunter from the first time we meet him, but after reading his book I am in love with this Breed Warrior.
Corinne is strong, courageous, loyal and finally safe.  She has suffered untold horrors over the last seventy years at the hand of Dragos and his men.  But now she is free, she has two things she wants. 1. To return home to her family. 2. To find the person that holds her heart. When Hunter offers to take her home she is surprised, until she learns of Hunters mission and realizes that this might be the break she needs to track down this person. 
But sometime returning home is not always as easy.   And what do you do when the person that holds your heart turns away from you? You will have to read Deeper Than Midnight to find out.
There is so much I want to tell you about this book, but I don’t want to give away any spoiler. So I will leave you with this.
A Warrior turns out to be beyond sweet, A Warrior will break your heart, Someone learns the meaning of undying love and someone will make the ultimate sacrifice for those that they love.

(ARC) Review of Body of Sin by Eve Silver (book 4)

Release date August 23, 2011

Once the favorite son of the Lord of the Underworld, Lokan Krayl held enviable privileges and powers. Powers that led to a devastating betrayal—murder.

Resurrected by his immortal brothers, Lokan is still trapped in purgatory. He has no way to contact his family. He has no answers. In order to find the truth about his death and who killed him, he must escape his prison. And there’s only one way out: through the twelve gates of his eternal enemy, Osiris.

But Lokan has help. Bryn Carr, the woman who duped him once before, is his beautiful yet unwanted guide. She’s been sent by his brothers to aid him. She’s his last hope. Lokan must place his fate—and that of the mortal and immortal worlds—in the hands of the one woman he can never trust.

My thoughts:
If you have not read the first three books in this series this review may contain a spoiler or two for you.  But I will do my best to not give too much away.  But if you don’t mind mild spoilers read on.
In Body of Sin we pick up where we left off in Sin of the Flesh (book 3) with the three remaining Krayl brothers: Dagan, Alastor & Mal finding out who killed (murdered) their youngest brother Lokan.  After find this out they try to return Lokan’s body and soul to him.
Lokan has been stuck in a null zone for he doesn’t know how long.  But he knows something has changed.  He has his body once again and he wants revenge on the person who has murdered him. But in order to do that he needs to get to the Topworld.  Lokan has to make sure his daughter is safe and he brothers are warned all before he can get his revenge.  But getting to the Topworld is not as easy as Lokan thought it would be as he has failed to pass the first gate.  Then Lokan learns that he will have a guide to help him through the 12 Gates.
The last person Lokan expected to see in the Underworld was Brynja.  Bryn is the mother of his daughter, what is she doing here?  Then Lokan learns the Bryn is his guide out of the Underworld.  
Bryn is to guide Lokan out of the Underworld so that he can keep their daughter safe.  But there is a price that has to be paid to get Lokan out.  A soul for a soul.
I had the honor to get an early copy of Body of Sin for review.
OMG!! Eve Silver has done it again. 
Body of Sin is totally FABULOUS!!!! I loved every minute of this book, even the parts that made me cry. It was so worth the wait.  I loved to watch Lokan and Bryn’s struggle to clear the Gates, to trust one another and the ultimate sacrifice that was made in the name of love.
If you have started this series and enjoyed the first three books you will love Body of Sin.

(ARC) Embraced By Blood By Laurie London (Book 2 SweetBlood Series)

EMBRACED BY BLOOD
A Sweetblood Novel
Book 2
Release date: June 21, 2011
Characters: Alfonso and Lily
Setting: Seattle, Bellingham, British Columbia, San Diego
Is she a deadly temptation…or the one woman who can quench his eternal thirst?
Alfonso Serrano is a hunted man. For months he’s managed to elude the Darkbloods, vengeful foes who won’t rest until he’s dead. But he still craves one dangerous temptation: Lily DeGraff, the sexy Guardian agent he’ll risk anything to protect.
Lily is a wanted woman. Her talent for tracking Sweet-a rare blood type that’s addictive to vampires-makes her a prime target for enemy capture. Her only hope is the stealthy vampire operative who stole into her bed…then left her in despair. Danger aside-Lily won’t let Alfonso near her heart again-until an irresistible hunger draws them back together…and into an assassin’s snare.
Pre-Order HERE
My Summary:
Alfonso has always been the black sheep of the family.  He has always done the opposite of everything that his older brother Dominic has always done. But this time there may be no coming back from the biggest mistake of his life.  Trying to rebuild what is left of his life and make amends to his brother and sister, Alfonso finds himself drawn back into the very battle he has fought so hard to get out of.  When Alfonso learns that Lily (the only woman he has ever truly loved) maybe in danger he knows he will do anything to keep her safe.  Even walking away again.
Lily is one of the best trackers in the world, but lately she has not been feeling right.  Her tracking abilities are off.  When one of Lily’s trainee Kip goes missing, she knows she is in trouble.  She must find Kip and then and only then will she tell her boss about her loss of her abilities. Focused on finding Kip, Lily starts to head out on her own to find Kip despite the fact that more trackers have disappeared.  But as Lily is leaving she finds the most unlikely person wait to help her.  Alfonso.
With danger all around them will Alfonso be able to keep Lily safe?  Or will his past finally caught up with him and destroy his future?
My Thoughts:
I was so EXCITED to get to read this book early!! 
Alfonso is so dark and tortured by the choices he has made in the past.  All he really wants is the forgiveness from his family.  And Love…  Alfonso wants Lily’s love so much that he is willing to live forever without it to keep her safe. But even knowing that he may never get these things he does his everything to prove to everyone that he has changed.
Lily is a very strong woman, who has always doubted herself. Lily really struggles with who she is her abilities and her place in the Agency when she starts to lose her tracking abilities.  What Lily doesn’t fully understand is how much everyone truly cares for her.  She is not just some pretty face like she thinks.
These two have has so many ups and downs in the rollercoaster of their relationship, you have to wonder if they will ever be able to find their way back together.  
Special thank you to Laurie London for being the BOMB!!!!!!  I am so totally in love with your Sweetblood Series!!!!  I can’t wait to read the e-novella, the anthology story and Jackson’s book.

(ARC) Follow the Night by Michele Hauf

Vicomte Gabriel Renan was just trying to dispose of his ill-gotten fortune when the mysterious stranger attacked him. Now he’s been told he may become vampire if he cannot make it to the full moon without drinking blood. Easy enough. Or will the madness that threatens lure Gabriel to follow the night?
Too many secrets Roxane Desrues holds to her breast. She only wishes to rescue her brother, but is distracted by the handsome vicomte, and the reality that he may become her greatest enemy should he transform to vampire.
Together they will learn what they can to overcome—but ultimately, they have only one another to trust in the battle between good and evil.

My thoughts:
Gabriel (aka Leo) is a man hiding from his past.  A past filled with pain and disappointment.  But never again, Gabriel had built up walls around him and doesn’t let anyone close to him, EVER.  Until the night he is attacked.  Then everything changes.
Roxane only is worried about one thing, saving her brother.  She must hunt the monster that changed her brother and kill him.  Even if that means she has to use someone else as bait.
After being attacked Gabriel wakes to find the very delicious Roxane watching over him.  She is offering to help him fight off the effects of the attack, but is she everything she says she is or is Roxane hiding her own secrets as to why she is here.
I have to say that I have not read many historical paranormal romances, but really did enjoy this story.  It was really fun to watch these two characters struggle with lust, love and loyalty.  But in the end trust is the most important thing of all.
I have to say a huge THANK YOU to Michele Hauf for allowing me to read this story early. 
Follow the Night will be released in July 2011. I don’t have a pre-order link yet. So please go to Michele Website for more information.

Sneak Peck at Teresa New up coming Release: Blood Moon Betrayed (Book 3 in the True Mates Series)
Caden’s heart pounded and her throat went dry. Clinton stood no more than ten feet from her. She fought the urge to whimper and slink back into the chair. She couldn’t run. With her injured knee, she wouldn’t get far if she tried. And she had no weapon. At least the last time she’d met up with Clint in a parking garage, she’d been standing on two good legs and without a head injury or even cracked ribs. Course she couldn’t say that was how things ended.
She cut a glance toward Sean, who put himself between her and her ex-husband. Thank, God. His broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted body made Clinton’s skinny self look more like a little boy than the cop he was. Maybe her ex had met his match.
God, she hoped so.
With a trembling hand, she pulled herself up on the truck and moved to climb inside.
“What have we here?” asked Clint. He doffed his hat, rubbed his head, and replaced the baseball cap, his eyes moving back and forth between her and Sean.
“Get in the truck, now.”
Caden obeyed Sean’s barked order and climbed into the truck, gritting her teeth against the pain in her damaged rib and injured leg.
“Now, don’t rush out on my account,” sneered Clint. “Besides, that’s my wife. I’ll be taking her home with me.”
As though the words were gasoline thrown on a fire, fury exploded from Sean, and he stepped closer, like a wild animal stalking its prey. “You’ll do no such thing.” As though realizing he was speaking for her, he turned toward Caden.
Her breath froze in her lungs when his piercing green eyes caught hers. For an instant, she wondered if he could see through to her soul. But that would be stupid. Nobody could do that.
“Do you want to go with him?”
She shook her head, forcing the breath to move in and out of her body.
“There you have it.” The deadly calm words belied the lethal threat she felt beneath the surface as he turned back to Clint. “She’s with me.”
Clint wasn’t stupid. Unless he was armed, he’d back off. He had to know he didn’t stand a chance against Sean’s feral strength. She’d never sensed such pent up violence in a man. Almost animalistic. She rubbed her arms. Energy skittered over her skin, and her skin tingled.
“Don’t listen to the bitch. I don’t care what she says about me, she lies.”
Sean sniffed. “Then it’s good I can smell lies.” He stepped toward Clint, who stumbled back. “And you reek with them.”
Savage menace rolled of the larger male, and with every step, he moved closer to Clinton, looming over him. Dominating him. Such command. Such fierceness. Such pent up power. Somehow, the silent control was more impressive than had he reached out a hand and closed off Clint’s throat.
Her ex-husband’s color faded.
“You will stay away from her,” Sean snarled. His face was now even with Clint’s, only inches apart. God, that shouldn’t be sexy, but in a way it was. Why Sean had decided to protect her, she didn’t know, and right now didn’t care. She’d never wanted men to fight over her, but there was something so primal in Sean’s every move, and it spoke to her on a very feminine level.
Sean pivoted, putting his back to the smaller man. As though Clinton was nothing. A small rabbit he allowed to live. With one large, calloused hand, he closed her door. A shadow moved behind him and Caden shouted, warning Sean, but it hadn’t mattered. In the blink of an eye Sean moved, his hand grabbing Clinton’s wrist as the other man swung, flesh crashing against flesh. Fingers gripped her ex-husband’s arm, and by the look on his face, it hurt.
“Do that again,” Sean snarled, “and you’ll lose this arm.” With a shove, he shoved the offending wrist away, knocking Clinton off balance, the man stumbling back several steps.
With smooth, unhurried steps Sean circled the front of the truck, and opened the driver’s door.
“You’ll regret this,” shouted Clint.
Sean only arched a brow toward the man, got in the truck, and slammed the door shut. With deliberate movements, he started the vehicle, put it into gear, and pulled out of the parking spot, leaving Clint, now red faced and furious, glaring behind them.

Day 4~~Dark Succesion By Teresa D’Amario #2 True Mate Series

Nora Hunt is the daughter of former pack leader Sean Hunt and niece to Kieran Hunt.  Emotionally and physically scarred after being held captive for weeks, she’s finally ready to move on with her life.  But when she meets Ryland, she discovers not only a world of darkness and pain, but discovers Ryland may not be any better than those who held her captive all those weeks. 
When Ryland Keegan steps in as Alpha of his dead brother’s pack, he inherits a pack of savage rogue wolven, as well as a legacy of violence, lies and five women held captive within the pack’s confines.
But when Ryland’s pack members start dying one at a time, he must decide if Nora is the catalyst or the killer.  Can he trust his True Mate? Or will he be relegated to a life of leading the dregs of Wolven society?

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed leanring more about Ryland, who we meet in SheWolf.  This was most diffenently a case of don’t stick with your first impression of someone.  Ryland turns out to have many demons to face and Nora may be the only thing to save him.

Nora, who we also meet in SheWolf has been through untold horrors in the last few months.  But she has survived.  But now can she survive the force that is Ryland?

These two have a great war of wits in this book.  But in the end I believe they both get what they want and need.

Day 3~~SheWolf by Teresa D’Amario #1 True Mate Series

A small town veterinarian has a big time problem. She’s not human.

Plagued as a child with an extra-sensitive sense of smell, strength, and eyesight, Anna Callaway always thought she was special. But she didn’t understand how special until she met Kieran Hunter.

He insists they are True Mates, but he’s not human either. He’s wolven.

Kieran is a protector of his race. No longer the Alpha of his pack, he spends his time searching out and punishing any who may reveal their race to humans. While patrolling, he finds two wolven about to kidnap Anna. He battles to protect her, but is surprised to find himself drawn to her in a way he never expected.

The couple must learn to deal with their differences before they can address their similarities. But when three men kidnap Anna, she must decide if she is to embrace the wolven way of life, or return to her quiet existence. And whether to abandon the man who claims her as his True Mate

My Thoughts:

I really really enjoyed this story. Kieran is 100%  male, except when it comes to Anna.  Then he questions everything he has ever thought.  Even the fact that they are True Mates. 

Anna is strong, stubborn, and determined. Everything that is needed to bring Kieran to his knees.  Anna just doesn’t know how powerful she is.

The struggle that Anna & Kieran have to go through teachs them just how strong they are.  As each grow stronger they have to learn if they can be strong together or will pride get in the way.

Day 2~~Leopard’s Key by Teresa D’Amario

Cover by PickyMe….
How much damage could a simple piece of jewelry cause?
A silver key is the only clue to the disappearance of Kel.  It’s a mystery leopard shifter Dmitri can only solve with the help of the jeweller who created it.
When Hailey created the key she knew whom it was destined for, and the ‘knowing’ has never been wrong. But secrets are revealed when Dmitri visits her shop for her help. Secrets she cannot share. Yet when he takes her in his arms, her soul knows what her heart fears. 
And the answer lies within The Leopard’s Key.
Read Excerpt HERE

My Thoughts:

Hailey has a gift for making jewelry and she always knows who will purchase her work.  But when she makes a special gift for a friends mother it all goes terrible wrong.

Dmitri is looking for his brother Kel, who has gone missing.  And while looking for Kel, Dmitri wants answers from the person she made the key for his mother.

Can these two work together to solve the disappearance of Kel and find out why Hailey made this key.

I really enjoyed this short story. I like to watch Dmitri and Hailey fight their attraction to one another.  To watch them learn how to work together to answer both questions about Kel’s disappearance and  the reason for the key.

I do want to learn more about Kel.  I hope that Teresa will write Kel’s story.

Day 1 ~~Tigress by the Tail by Teresa D’Amario

Lance is a Wizard. He’s not a great wizard, but he’s all right. Descended from a long line of wizards, his brothers taunt him for being slow to learn. And as the youngest, it’s his due course to accept such teasing. Life is good, and normal. For a wizard that is.

Cassie is a Shifter. A tigress to be exact. Raised by her father after her mother’s death she’s as well adjusted as any shifter can be, and still live in the human world, hiding who and what she is.

Bliss comes to a screeching halt the night Satanist kidnap Cassie and her best friend to use as sacrifices to bring forth their Dark Lord. When Cassie literally collides into Lance, she begs him to help them escape their captors, despite the dangers. The couple work together to save the life of Cassie’s friend, only to discover a shocking passion driving them closer together at a time when both should be devastated. But when Lance overhears Cassie’s father threaten his life, he heads for the hills. Cassie follows, determined to clear up the confusion. But evil is still afoot and Cassie is taken by a secret government organization dedicated to the eradication of all things magick. Is Lance willing to put his life on the line for a woman he believes is out to kill him? Especially when he realizes the organization that’s taken her, is the one he works for?
My thoughts:
WOW!! I loved this story the 1st time I read it.  I even stayed up WAY to late just to finish.  And I loved it just as much the 2nd time around. I am still hold out for one of the characters. I just hope his story is coming soon… *hint, hint Teresa*….
The connection between Lance and Cassie is so strong that neither of them understands it, but both of them feel it.  Unable to stay away from each other, Lance and Cassie find them self on a roller coaster of emotions.  Both Cassie and Lance have secrets about themselves that they are afraid to share with the other, but it just may be those secrets that could very will save them both.  Drawn together only to be torn apart these two have so many twists and turns, ups and downs you begin to wonder if they will ever find one another. 
This is the first book in the Maxey Wizard Series… I am looking forward to book 2
