Susan Elizabeth Phillips has always been one of my ultimate favorites. She takes up a large portion of my keeper shelves. I hesitated to pick up this latest book because I have had a hard time forcing myself to study for classes. It sucks being an adult college student. I hate sacrificing my reading time for boring college classes, but never the less, I did squeeze this one in. I read it late into the night and got up early the next morning, finishing it in as close to one sitting as I could. So much for cramming for exams.

First in a series titled “Black Ops”, Cindy Gerard seems to have a good series going here. Having finished up Brockmann’s last book, I was not ready to move on from “shadow warriors”. I was intrigued and entertained by this new series.

While on assignment in Argentina for Black Ops Inc, Gabriel Jones is shocked to see someone from his past that he thought safe and out of his life. Jenna McMillan is a reporter who is covering a story in Argentina, but she doesn’t realize that she is being setup in a complicated revenge plot. When a bomb goes off unexpectedly, Jenna is tackled by a street bum who gets badly injured. While trying to escape, Jenna is thrown into a car and recognizes the men who save her. She doesn’t realize who tackled her, but once she sees Gabes men here in Argentina she puts two and two together.

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.

Wow, it has been a long time since I blogged. I have had a busy few months and just have not found the time. Working full time and going to college (at my advanced age to boot) have been rough, but I am still finding time to sneak in a romance novel here and there.

Fourth in a series of Aisling Grey – Guardian. Aisling is trying to get to the alter to marry her destined mate Drake, but her duties as a Guardian, Demon Lord, Prince of Hell (woops Abaddon) and her other various other responsibilities that keep conflicting with Drakes various dragon crisises (is that a word?).

The Wolf and the Dove – Kathleen Woodiwiss

To honor the passing of an favorite author, I pulled this off my keeper shelf. I cannot remember how long it has been since I read it, ages for sure.

The interesting thing I am finding is that as I mature, my views and tastes are changing. When I put this on my shelf another decade ago I get the feeling I like it for different reasons then I do now. As an old time bodice ripper it has the elements of a captured, forced slave all the rage in its time. That time has long gone, but it still has elements the keep it on my favorite list.

High Stakes – Erin McCarthy

Super funny and a great quick read.

Ethan Carrick is a vampire who owns a casino and happens to be the president of vampires. It is an election year and he has been advised to settle down and take a wife. He thinks he finds her in bubbly, sweet dentist Brittany Baldizzi. Brittany’s sister Alexis is the polar opposite to Brittnay, she is light to her dark, tough to Britt’s sweetness. She is also determined to save her sister from being kidnapped. What she doesn’t expect is to fall for Ethan, who of course is turned on by Alexis instead of Brittany.
