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.
Book 1 in the Fever Series, I have had this book on my TBR pile for a long time. I can’t believe I didn’t pick it up until now.
MacKayla Lane is living a good life with manicures and clothing a key part of her life. Suddenly her sister is murdered while studying abroad in Ireland. Before she knows it she is drawn into an unbelievable paranormal world of which she plays an unknowing part. While trying to track down her sisters killer she meets Jericho Barrons. A man who is much more than he seems and recognizes that MacKayla may hold to the key to his search for an ancient magical book the Sinsar Dubh. This book is bringing about the destruction of the world as we know it.
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.
Riley Jenkins is half vampire and half wolf. She and her twin brother Rhoan live in Melbourne and are working with an organization of supernatural beings called the Directorate. Riley has been resisting becoming a full Guardian, but Jack, her vampire boss, has other plans for her.
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?).
Riley Jenkins is half vampire and half wolf. She and her twin brother Rhoan live in Melbourne and are working with an organization of supernatural beings called the Directorate. Riley has been resisting becoming a full Guardian, but Jack, her vampire boss, has other plans for her.
Rhoan goes missing and a drop dead sexy vampire (Quinn) shows up naked at her doorstop. About to approach the monthly “moonfever” that turns the werewolf into a hunk of burning lust, Riley tries to avoid giving in her to tempation to Quinn. But even with several other lovers on her plate, she cannot resist him. Quinn could be the key to finding her brother so she reluctantly teams up with Quinn and asks Jack for help.
Milagros de Los Santos has had a bad week, first she is persuaded to attend a book party of the man who wooed then suddenly dumped her in college (Sebastian). You know the guy; the one you thought was IT who turned out to be a total jerk....
Then she meets a sexy guy in an odd suit (Oswald) and finds herself accidentally swapping blood with him while making out (it really is not as gross as it sounds) and contracts a rare disease that has her losing weight and craving blood. Now for most of us losing weight is a bonus, but for this well endowed women (chest wise) it is less than ideal. I absolutely and totally envy the Latino womens ability to flaunt those sexy curves. Not only has she contracted this "disease" but her ex-boyfriend (the jerk above) is a modern day vampire hunter and wants to drive a stake through her heart. Of course he is secretly interested in staking her in an intimate way also -- wink, wink.
Milagro is convinced by Oswald’s family to live with them for her safety until they can put a lid on Sebastian. The fun is further compounded when she finds out that Oswald is engaged to a super wonderful woman, has a really snappy, wisecracking grandmother (Edna), another sexy well grounded cousin (Sam) and a flamboyant cousin (Gabriel).
This book is laugh out loud funny and the dialogue is quick and witty. If I would have one criticism I would say it just flowed too quickly because when it was done I wanted more....
Marta Acosta is a new author to me, I will be sure to read her again. Her website is
