Book #2 in the Fever Series and even better than #1. Wow what a great series. The book was faster and more furious than DarkFever. MacKayla’s skills are ramping up and she is learning how to master her Fae seer abilities. Jericho returns and glimpses of his abilities are emerging. Just what the heck is he. I can’t wait to found out.

The walls between the human world and Faery are coming down and the dark fae are pouring out in droves, Mac finds out who is controlling the Sinsar Dubh and it is even more dire than she presumes.

Would you live your life differently if you were given a second chance. Linda Howard tackles these issues in an unconventional romance.

I was able to snag this story on audiobook. I love and hate that. It is nice to listen to a story when you are going about mindless activity, but then I found myself looking for mindless time when I shouldn’t.

The heroine, Drea, is a drug lords mistress who is not the dim bulb she pretends to be. She has vowed to get the most out of life. She has no problem in being a mans play toy as long as it gets her money, the finest clothing and jewels. Her existence is very shallow and she makes no apologies for this.

Lover Enshrined – J.R. Ward

6th in the Brotherhood Series. This story “sort of” focuses on the relationship between Phury and Cormia. At the end of the last book, Phury had volunteered to take the place as the Chosen’s Primale in Vichous’s stead. The Primales role is to serve as head male to a harem of 40 chosen. A glorified stud and sperm factory whose sole purpose is donate his half of a generation of new Brothers. I thought Ward would make this role more interesting given that he is abstinent and all, but nay it didn’t really play much into the story..

I believe I read this one out of order as it is the fourth in the series and I didn’t read the third yet. It is sitting in my TBR pile here somewhere. Oh well.

The unfortunate thing about being undead is that business success in the digital age is next to impossible to hold off. Jean-Luc is a successful clothing designer who has been in the spotlight for too long. We say that men age gracefully, however it is apparent to those around him Jean-Luc is a bit too graceful these days. He decides to imbark on the next phase of his life by hiding out in Texas for a few decades and re-emerge as his son. That works for the mortal world, but his enemies are not so easily dissuaded.

Each date usually starts out well enough, yet in the end these rationally sane men turn into uber jerks within the blink of an eye….

Tempting Evil (Riley Jensen-3) – Keri Arthur

The third in one of my fav kick-ass series, Tempting evil is even better than Kissing Sin. Riley has advanced her training and is making her way up to a full guardian. She is not happy about this, but knows she has not moral choice in the matter.

Having found the compound of past nemesis Deshon Star through an inside connection, Riley prepares to go undercover as a female wrestler to gain access to the compound and eliminate Deshon and end his genetic experiments. Ok, so that sounds like a cheesy plot and perhaps it is, but Arthur has a way of building a complex world while weaving in erotic sex and interesting plots. I could not put this one down.

Becoming burnt on paranormals, I picked this out of my Mount TBR. I have probably had in the pile for a few years. Nothing like a good historical to break up the paranormal beasts….

America, Sherrie Hamilton is taken captive and on her way to serve in a Haram when she is rescued by a daring young pirate Cullum whom decides to make a deal with her. One month as his mistress, then she can go free. After many months Cullum finally lets her go to save her life. She has come to love him and is hurt when seemingly discards her. As in most romance, nothing is as it appears.

This is a new author for me. I wish I could say I liked the book, but it jumped along too fast with no build up.

Jane Drysdale is driving along in her car with tubs of erotic toys from her second job of “adult toy parties” when she runs over a rabbit and is suddenly transported to another land. She mets up with Charle who is a straight laced and sort of interesting character and is swept up in one adventure to another.
