Emma Sanders has always dreamt of being a bride, wearing fancy gowns, pretty pearls, and—of course—falling madly in love. Then life happened. Finding herself one fiancé short of her happily ever after, she leaves the fairytales behind. Some days are simply too perilous for pink gowns and pearls.

Riley Lockhart is the sort of man who can make a woman lower her gaze with only a smile. That he doesn’t realize his charm makes him all the more enchanting. Determined to save Emma the pain of her breakup, he steps in as a friend, but soon finds himself wanting more. 

She was just a girl, but she somehow winds up being the strongest woman he’s ever known. Losing her is not an option and when life can’t be tied neatly in a pretty little bow, he holds tight to all that he loves—his Emma. His hero. 

Sometimes the greatest scars are worn on the inside.

Review: Call Her Mine by Lydia Michaels

Title: Call Her Mine (The Order of the Vampyres, #4)
Author: Lydia Michaels
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Length: Novel

Rating- 5
Sexual- 3

Delilah Starling has never been a shy girl. The moment she sets eyes on Mr. Tall—Dark—and—Broody, she knows she’s going to have him. Sarcastic sexual banter leads to the best sex of her life—until he kills her.

Christian “Bastard” Schrock is an Amish immortal with no patience for social pleasantries. Rather than risking his demise, he takes what is rightfully his when he is called to his mate, an English female who owns a tattoo parlor and swears too much.

When Delilah wakes up on an Amish farm—not dead, but no longer mortal—she is outraged. Mr. Sexy-Pants has turned out to be a delusional maniac set on ruining her life, which he’s already stolen without her permission. Christian is at wit’s end with his belligerent, stubborn, mate. He demands obedience, but never has he faced such frustration as Ms. Delilah Starling. Worst of all, he’s falling in love with her.

Do you miss REAL alpha males in your PNRs? You know, the ones that take what they want, when they want it, and just don't give a damn? Well, Call Her Mine will bring you back to those golden days when powerful males said, "Mine!".

Don't get the wrong impression, though. The heroine, Delilah, is no pushover. Christian might take what he wants, but that doesn't mean Delilah meekly recieves what he's giving. She's an alpha in her own right and it makes the sparks fly.

My only complaint would be that the outside conflict (there's a baddie running around) was resolved a little too quickly. I, almost, wish that the side-line drama wouldn't have been there. Believe me, Christian and Delilah have enough of their own drama to keep the tension and laughs flowing.

If you haven't checked out The Order of the Vampyres series I can't recommend it enough. If you have been keeping up with this interesting cast of characters, then you're in for a treat! I think Call Her Mine is my favorite of the series so far :)

Review Destiny Calls by Lydia Michaels

Title: Destiny Calls (The Order of the Vampyres, #3)
Author: Lydia Michaels
Source: Author request
Genre: Paranormal romance
Length: Novel (approx 372 pgs)
Date published: October 11 by Siren Publishing 

After making the ultimate sacrifice in order to save his perfect brother and mate, Cain Hartzler’s patience with Destiny has grown thin. Resigned to an eternity spent alone, Cain decides it’s time to choose his own Destiny once and for all. But every choice he makes holds a greater consequence than the last.

There is only so much an immortal heart can take, and once Destiny Santos grabs hold of Cain’s, he is changed forever. Cain’s ever-confident bad-boy reputation is shaken to the core by this mere mortal, and he will do anything to have her, but another female has set her heart on Cain, and he must make an impossible choice once again.

A storm unlike any other is coming, The Order is changing, and passion will burn hotter than ever before when Cain Hartzler is finally pushed too far. There is no escaping Destiny when she calls!

 

So, I got to revisit my Amish Vampires and I just have to say that I KNEW that Cain's story was going to be the best so far, and I was right! I found Lydia Michaels' way with words were just as magical in Destiny Calls as her two previous installments of The Order of Vampyre series. She knows how to paint a picture with words without losing the plot of the story. I don't think I can praise her writing style enough!

Cain and Destiny run the show in this one. While there are a couple of side-stories going on the main focus is on the Cain and Destiny's relationship. When they came together it was probably some of the steamiest sex scenes I've read in a while. Their sexual compatibility is off the charts.

There are some bumps a long the way, but it makes their happily ever after that much better! And, wow, once again I am waiting to find out what happens in the next Order of the Vampyres. There was a huge twist at the end (with one of the minor characters) that has me all in knots! I can't wait!

Do yourself a favor pick up this series, it is absolutely wonderful!
