Author Dianna Hardy
Source Author requested review
Genre Paranormal romance- witch
Length Novella

Book One of The Witching Pen Novellas

Elena is a witch with a very special gift. She can make stories come to life with a pen. When she discovers that imagination can become reality at the stroke of her nib, she thinks it's the best thing to have ever happened … until she meets Nathaniel. With an inexplicable hypnotic hold over her, he is a demon with a familiar face that lurks in the shadows of her world, impervious to her 'witching pen', and determined to make her create the world as he would have it – with her at his side.

In order to prevent the creation of a demon dimension on Earth, and to keep her soul intact, Elena must uncover all of Nathaniel's secrets to overcome him. But what she uncovers only seems to draw her further into his world and to the demon himself, and when the final stone is turned, what she discovers could be the very thing that ends up killing her...

Publisher's Notes:-

Book length: novella (37,000+ words)

The Witching Pen is a quirky, fast-paced, adult paranormal romance, with a "Buffy-esque", urban fantasy undertone.

Rating 4 1/2

Throw everything you think about novellas out the door on this one. I was really impressed with this story.  You get a huge storyline with surprises spite the 67 pgs. You also get a good romance and one sex scene. Oh, I almost forgot you get a lot of sexual tension between these two also so you don’t miss out on the romance. I really like how the author went about writing how the pen works and the demons. This is an excellent story and quite differs from most paranormal romance stories. The book blurb really doesn’t do it justice so please don’t pay it too much mind . 

Elena is a witch that lives with her best friend which by happens to be a guy named Karl. Karl has loved Elena since they were teens. He knows her secrets inside and out. He just has to make her see that she can trust him with her power. These two have to learn how to love and trust each other in order to stop the demon Nathaniel from getting Elena’s power. Before the end Karl finds out he is something special too. 

Karl and Elena are great together the only thing I wished would have happened was the sex scene would have went a tad slower with Elena being a virgin.

Great characters and a great romance story, I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves witches and surprises.

I really enjoyed this one. Again the Indian and demon folklore is really excellent and not to be missed. I so enjoy how Kathy writes her steamy sex lines, they are written to draw you in to enjoy the two characters together. I really liked the interesting cast of characters Kathy has going on in this book. I look forward to reading more on them in the future.

Few spoilers
As Amy’s new life in Arizona is just starting out. She really wants to go back home. Amy has been somewhat seeing her boss Dante they have been playing sex games, but the games are not pleasing her like she would like him to. Plus the sex games he’s playing is starting to scare her, especially when she wakes up and finds things on her body that wasn’t there before she went to bed, so she knows this is more than just dreams. When she tries to break it off with Dante he just wont take no for an answer. Dante really doesn’t like it when he sees her and Jake together.

Jake is a shape-shifter mountain lion. Animals start coming up dead. His granddad Bill tells him a folk tale about the Coyote and Badger, he also tells Jake the enemy wont stop at animals the humans will be next. It takes a while for Jake to figure out the folk tales are read and he needs to do something to stop the demons.

My only reason for 4 ½ stars is I really miss a glossary for the demon side they kind of get confusing who is who.

Damned and Desired is book two.

Book Description
Scotland 1502. Akira Neish has been raised as a peasant, her belly often empty and her family subject to the cruel whims of her clan's laird. To the clan's children, the horned shaped birthmark she bears means she is a witch. But she is neither peasant nor witch - and now the man who knows the truth has returned to claim her for his own.

Calin MacLeod has kept Akira's secrets and to avenge his father, the sensual young laird must marry her. He is more than a match for the fiery nature of the woman he adores. Yet the passion they share - and truths that can no longer remain hidden - could rip all of Scotland apart...

I really enjoyed this heartfelt romantic story. I love Kimberly’s way of writing, she bring you in by writing a heartbroken prologue, then at the end of the Prologue she gives you tremendous hope of what is to come in the rest of the book. This continues throughout the book. This book is full of all emotions, some humorous, betrayals and lots of steamy romance. Then you throw an ex-mistress in the mix and things get quite interesting.

Akira’s life didn’t start out good as a just born baby. (I don’t want to get into the details here, it would be a bad spoiler). She was branded by a man, Calin when she was born. Akira was to marry Calin for an alliance to bring two clans together. Akira new nothing about an alliance but she did know one day a man that was her benefactor would come to get her and marry her. He has paid for her education an much more. Now years later he, Calin has come to claim her, but can she be tamed. Lets just say Akira is a spitfire, she takes nothing off any man. She is still a virgin and wants to remain that way. Until she meets her Benefactor then things change after the first kiss form Calin, she wants more. Will Calin tell her all the story about her birth and the alliance or will he keep it from her and make things worse.

I really felt the love grow between Calin and Akira, they have their ups and downs but their love still grows. I loved the way Calin calls Akira his wee fire breathing dragon, he hit’s the nail on the head with that nickname.

Rating 4 1/2 out of 5

This book is really good, just enough hot sex and storyline, so you don’t get bored of either one. This is one mystery where I could say, “it’s a sexy ride trying to figure out who did the crime” the whole way.

Jordan is 40 year’s old sexy and rich, he owns one of the top investments firms in the country, he is handsome every woman’s dream, but he has only one woman in mind that he wants to make his. You see Jordan wants a D/s relationship and he wants Roxanne his to surrender to him, But he has a lot to take care of before she even thinks about it, it’s a adventure of hot sex, traders, kidnapping, new friend and jail time for one along the way. Now, I just have to get the next book……
