Reviewer:  Artemis

After leaving a restrictive religious community, Rachel Hill is on a mission to divest herself of her virginity. Newly independent and struggling to establish herself, she’s not looking for anything complicated. She bids on sexy SWAT officer Ben Harris at a bachelor auction, confident he’ll give her the night of her life and nothing more.

But Ben is jaded and detached, living his life in an endless cycle of danger-fueled adrenaline jags, drinking, and sex. When he misses the fact that his bachelor auction hookup is a virgin, he’s shocked by his obliviousness, and by the risk she took. To make amends, Ben offers Rachel all he can: a no-strings-attached sexual education.

Ben’s lessons introduce Rachel to down and dirty passion, but she’s searching for something more profound than sex, and she’s willing to walk away to find it. Ben can’t get Rachel out of his head, but will he come to terms with his troubled past and learn to love?

ARC review Visions of Skyfire by Regan Hastings

Title: Visions of Skyfire (The Awakening #2)
Title:Regan Hastings
Source: Author request
Genre: Dark Paranormal romance- Witch
Format: Mass paperback
Release Date: October 4, 2011

Teresa Santiago has awakened her abilities to summon lightning but is unable to control her power-or her attraction to Rune, her Eternal protector and destined partner. Now, Teresa and Rune must locate a missing artifact of unimaginable power before it unleashes the forces of darkness on the world. But with enemies both mortal and magical on their trail, Teresa and Rune discover that only through sacrifice will love conquer all...

Regan Hastings didn’t miss a beat in the sequel of her The Awaking series. I couldn’t get enough of Teresa, Rune or the awesome storyline. As in the first book you get a sizzling action pack romance story. This book goes deeper into the story on how these witches came into their current predicament. I really enjoyed the surprises that came about during the adventure Rune and Teresa had in getting to Teresa’s Artifact piece. That also reminds me I loved the addition on the mystery, darkness and magic around each witch’s Artifact and I can’t wait to see what Reagan will add in the next book.

Teresa is one tuff and powerful witch. I loved her power and how she took to her Eternal Rune. Rune is also very powerful with his magic. When these two get together nothing will stop them. Rune and Teresa romance start out with a bang and they sizzle the pages all the way to the finish.

I simply loved this book. I haven’t had too many books this year that gave me that WOW! Affect, but this one gave me just that. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves some sizzling magic.

I am give this one the scorcher award also because of the connection and the heat between the couple. I love it when it feels more real.

What do you get when you mix an Etruscan Goddess and a Cimmerian warrior together? You get loads of trouble and lots of hot sexy fun. What a Goddess Wants is a fascinating hot book and one no erotic paranormal romance reader should miss. I couldn’t put it down. I loved all the mythology and fun Stephanie added to this book. The storyline has adventure, danger, suspense and lots of animalistic sex *still fanning self* (there’s one scene has anal intercourse.) This book has some fantastic mythological characters that Stephanie can run on for a while.

I enjoyed both Tessa and Caligo. Caligo just got burned from another Goddess, so when he finds Tessa in his home a sleep he never thought about getting in deep with another goddess. But one taste of Tessa he just can’t help himself he hast to give her what she wants. Tessa is running for her life and need some help to keep her alive ,so she turns to a friend that leads her to Caligo. She has lived a very long time and no one has ever temped her or raised her heat like Caligo, but can this hero keep her safe enough or will she loose her life no matter what he does. Oh yeah, you have to read to see how deep these two can get into. Stephanie is known for her surprises in a story, so be prepared for some shocking mouth dropping reading. Now, I have to go bug her to see who is in the next book. So get this one on your list and read it ASAP.

*Fans self* This was one hot book, so you guys know what that means. LOL

Though Kiara needs Cruz, and wants him forever, werewolves and vampires are bitter enemies. To make matters worse, her Alpha, also her father, suspects that Kiara pines for a mate. Mistaking her sadness for the longing she feels for Cruz, he sets out to give her all the happiness he can provide.

Together, Kiara and Cruz will have to fight against the rules placed upon them to hold onto their love. But an unwanted visitor creates a complication neither of them planned for. Milo, Kiara’s chosen mate, has come to stake his claim. Now, not only are lives at risk, but hearts are threatened and dreams hang in the balance.

Bethany lost her one and only love to a war overseas. As if that weren’t bad enough, a brutal attack and claiming by a Lycan makes her life a living hell. She lives only for revenge until the day love comes back into her life and promises to rescue her from her misery. However, the mate who forced her isn’t about to let her go.

Once Bitten, Bound Forever is by two fantastic authors that writes fun and hot stories. Together they bring you two different stories with great storylines and hot sexy characters. Both stories are tied tighter, I have never read anything like it, it felt like one author wrote them both, yep, that’s how this book flowed for me. I devoured both stories in just a few hours.

The first story by Eve is very emotional. The heroine in an abusive relationship and cant seem to find a way out.  I felt Eve done fantastic job writing with the story not many authors can write something like this in a novella and still be able to feel the pain and sorrow then felt the connection to the hero so she can have her joy. Eve never goes into the abuse just mentions it, but it still can be hard to read.

The second story by Stacey is smoking. This story is awesome!!  What books I have read by Stacey I have always found a connection between her main characters, but this story was even better. I felt the connection between these two right off the bat and it never stopped and the sex is freaking hot. *still fanning self*

Recommend to any fan of Stacey Kennedy and Eve Langlais and for those who loves erotic paranormal romance with a couple of hot male vampires who loves their shape-shifter wolf women. 

Stacey's story has no anal or anything taboo in it, but they connection and the heat between the two characters is like none I have felt in a long time. So, I have to give this the book the Scorcher award.


My hat goes off to both ladies!

Now, these two lovely author will giveaway this ebook to one lucky commenter. Oh my, someone will be getting a hot read with this one.

When the Demon bargains for one night of her pleasure...no one loses.

Vetis, the Demon of Corruption, is bored. It's too easy to tempt humans into committing horrible acts and the appeal has worn thin. He's restless and seeking distraction...until a gambler offers to settle a debt by submitting his wife for Vetis's use.

One tiny glimpse of the rage in Amara and the absolutely sexless way she endures his sensual touch, and Vetis has his challenge. He'll make this woman enjoy the carnal pleasures of sex.

The bargain is struck. One night. Of HER pleasure. And the debt will be paid.

Ill-used by her husband, Amara believes she is doomed, for she has no pleasure within her, her innocence forfeit long ago. But as Amara's body awakens with sinful desires and carnal longings, hope begins to blossom that pleasure is within her reach.

Demons never fail and the challenge is on. Vetis knows with the right sensual persuasion the debt will be paid in pleasure, however he doesn't bargain on falling in love.

Warning: this erotic romance novella contains m/f/m sex, light bondage, and smokin' hot demon sex

The Demons Bargain is a very hot torrid erotic read. So, you get lots of hot sex along with a small, but good storyline. This demon Vetis stops at nothing to make this lady Amara know that she is to be cherished and not abused as she has been by her husband. I was very compelled to find out how he was going do it. I loved how the author wrote the sex between Vetis and Amara it was very caring and thoughtful. There’s mention of anal sex. The author made the world build clear and easy to read. I enjoyed the characters and I hope the author goes on to write a story for the hot demon Zepar.

Recommend to erotic paranormal romance or sci-fi romance readers that want a quick extremely hot read.

This book is so hot it receives the Scorcher award

Who will be the Last Minion Standing?

All I said was I needed a minion, the next thing I know, I'm embroiled in a reality show with cameras following me everywhere. I should have told them not to bother, as I was ready to declare a winner—and get naked—the moment I met Drake. Shirtless and shoeless, in low slung jeans, I could think of so many ways he could serve me—especially in bed.

But, Drake, the super sexy dragon shifter, is after more than a chance to work alongside me in my battle to capture evil souls, he also wants to win my heart. But love is for weaklings, and no matter how much he tortures me sexually, I will not give in, even when he resorts to restraints and sensual flogging. Mmm, bring it on—harder please.

Eve Langlais writes dangerously sexy and witty novellas. She has become one of my favorite novella authors. Why? Because her writing is brilliant. When you can take two people and throw them together and make it a sexy, fun and fulfilled read in a short amount of time that’s amazing. I never liked novellas before, but with the right author you can have a short read and still feel like you didn’t miss a thing. A couple of more things I love about Eve, She loves writing most of her heroines on the plump size, oh yea, that’s right up my big butt ally LOL. Then there’s the way Eve always come up with these witty saying like this one. “I need a fan or, even better, a really cold ice pack for my crotch.” Oh ya, Eve can come up with all kinds of fun ways to make your reading fun and sexy.

Now, as for The Last Minion Standing it’s extremely hot, witty and fun. I loved the hero Drake he will stop at nothing to make Sally his mate, then again most of us has a thing for the alpha heroes ;) Sally is a bounty hunter for Hell and she always gets her bounty until Drake steps in and steals her bounty. The think is he just may steal Sally’s heart along with it right after he takes on the competition of The Last Minion Standing.

The sex is extremely hot! You get one scene with some very hot phone sex. Then be prepared for flogging, spanking and some rebelling from Sally just so she can have more sex fun LOL. I highly recommend this to any erotic paranormal reader that wants a fun read.

Tease:
The second thing which made speechless—a state my dad would have found amusing—was the fact Mr. Hunky gave me a masculine grin—a naughty one which made me cream my panties—and said in a velvety baritone, “Run along, sweetheart. I’ve got this.”
Me, one of Hell’s most successful bounty hunters, dismissed with a smile and a wave of his hand. His treatment made me want to tear his pants off and ride him like a cowgirl—I mean, he’d called me sweetheart, how hot was that?—while at the same time making me see red. I’m gonna wipe the smirk off his face. Then I’m gonna kiss him. Then…

With the extreme heat in this book it get the Scorcher award
