My Review

Rating 3 1/2


This is a very nice dark emotional novel poem . If you’re into paranormal and poems and want something a little different this would be it. The story starts out as Alice is dreaming of being born and something is not quite right. Then she meets a mysterious man that disappears right before her eyes and the story grows from there. It starts out slow, but picks up in the middle, with a very nice ending.

This is very well written and to tell you the truth it surprised me how good it was. I would also suggest this one for young adults that’s into vampires, especially if you cant get them to read poems this would be a very good experience for them. But if you’re a regular paranormal romance reader you may want to look at other reviews before running out to buy this one, its not your typical PNR book.

It will take the woman who calls him enemy to give him a reason to live.

Jagger is a creature of the night—Skye Knightly soars in the sun. Natural adversaries, they have been joined by destiny in a mission entrusted to Skye’s family centuries ago: Nothing less than the salvation of the Earth.

Wounded and bitter, Jagger sought escape in the solitude of the jungle, driven by a need to disappear forever… until a mysterious shifter who calls to his soul and feeds a yearning long forgotten, pulls him from his dark path. A courageous warrior, Skye’s passion is equal to Jagger’s own—but can she trust a man on the edge? A man whose secrets are as devastating as her own?

Each is the other’s sole hope for survival. But a dark and twisted truth is leading them toward the ultimate sacrifice for a love they may never live to claim.






My review

Sexual-


Awesome read!! I loved the first book in this series, this one picked up where it left off and gave me so much more. It starts off in full force action and just about stays that way through the whole book. I have never read anything like it before, if this wasn’t enough the author tops it with two enemies that has to some how find love, Needless to say I couldn’t wait to get my world done, so I could get back to another world that was highly entertaining and exciting to read. If your looking for excitement, shape-shifting fighting, plenty of different emotions, hot sex, villains, and surprises in just about every corner, you’ll love this one.

light spoilers
You meet Skye and Jagger in the first book.
In this one Skye is a warrior eagle. The eagles have been protectors of an ancient Aztec artifact that is a portal to the demon world for hundreds of years. If its opened all the world as we know it ends. Her father hid it before his death and now its up to her to find it deep in the jungle with the DaCostas hot on her tail. So she has to trust Jaggar and his family in hopes that she can some how save the world. As Skye and Jaggar is fighting their was through the hot Belize Mayan Jungle things starts heating between them, but this is not an easy romance. The last few chapters left me in awe. These two gets their HEA, but the story is far from finished. So be prepared of an intense cliffhanger ending that gives you a peak of who the next book will be about. You'll will also find the chapter for Slavation's book in the back, so you get a little peek. Now I just need that book.......

I loved Skye as the heroine. I don’t think I have ever read a heroine that’s suffered like she did, but she takes it and keeps going. I do think she goes to extremes and causes a lot of suffering on herself. But again if my species was just about wiped out by the jaguars I guess I wouldn’t trust much either.

Jagger is wonderful, at times doesn’t get Skye and keeps hurting them both. He does keep going with his feelings and keeps helping and protecting her even with everything she throws at him. I will say that her kneeing him in his groin was kind of bad.

I would recommend to anyone who love lots of action and hot romance

Book order and I would suggest that you read in order so you can keep up with whats going on.

Interview with author Rebecca Goings

Today we have Rebecca Goings here for an interview. Please sit down for a bit and enjoy. Paranormal is not the only genre Rebecca writes, please check out her website at the end of the interview to see what else you can find.





Laurie-Would you please tell us a little about yourself?

Rebecca-Hello! My name is Rebecca Goings and I've been writing romance professionally for six years. I write in a lot of different genres, paranormals, westerns, contemporaries, and fantasies. I live in Portland, OR and I have five kids, two cats, and a dog. Oh, and a hubby. :P I'm a stay-at-home mom and I homeschool my brood.


Laurie-Could you tell us some of your writing on the B*E*A*S*T series for those who have never heard of it?

Rebecca-Well, I got the idea after seeing shapeshifters gain in popularity in the romance genre. Everyone seemed to be doing packs or magic, that kind of thing. I wanted my shifters to come from a secret agency. It was only after I began writing them that they were compared to Lora Leigh's shifters. But I'm telling you the truth when I tell you I've never read her series!

I'm pretty much the only similarity is genetically created shifters. From there, we go on vastly different tangents.

My books are about B*E*A*S*T* , Bio-Engineering to Attain Shift Transformation. They are a secret agency, funded by ?? who've created these men to be monsters. Their memories have been altered, and they've "died" in their old lives. But a few of them manage to escape, liberate the others, and find love along the way, while trying to bring B*E*A*S*T* down in the meantime.

Laurie- Tell us about your latest release?

Rebecca-MARK OF THE B*E*A*S*T*, Book IV of this series, is coming on September 6th. It is the story of Mackenzie Bishop and Robyn Groves. We first meet this pair in Book II, B*E*A*S*T* OF BURDEN, and learn more about them in Book III, NATURE OF THE B*E*A*S*T*. Robyn's been kidnapped by an evil scientist and mindwiped. Now, she doesn't remember Mac, and he's going to make these bastards pay for taking her away from him -- in more ways than one.


Laurie-What's some of the biggest things that influences your writing?

Rebecca-Dreams influence my writing a lot. The seed of an idea for this series came from a dream. I was on the run in the snowy mountains with a man who could shift into a tiger. Once I woke up, the idea snowballed from there when I started asking the who, what, where, when, why, and how questions. And once I had the agency, I knew I had a series, because they wouldn't be experimenting on just ONE guy...

I also get my ideas from songs. There is one song in particular, "Sahara" by Nightwish, that inspired my latest series with Carnal Passions, my Desert Princes of Jikkar.

TV shows and actors can inspire me too, especially if I think I can do a storyline better, or ask why they didn't do this, or I would have done it that way, etc.



Laurie-Do you have any interesting writing quirks?

Rebecca- Aside from needing to zone when I write, not really. I don't have any rituals or special foods or a special chair. But I do need to get into my scene, so most of the time I need to put on my headphones and rock out to something, if only to tune out my kids. :P I do have to be somewhere semi-private or at least have a wall at my back. My kids can read, and some of the things I write... whew boy!


Laurie-What is something you like doing besides writing? Like any hobbies?

Rebecca-I used to be big into crochet. I'd probably do more of it too if I didn't love spending all of my free time in front of the computer. I've also had wrist problems lately, so I can't really do it much right now. Taught myself though, then taught my daughters. :)

You not only right Paranormal, what other genre do you write?

I love westerns. They're my favorite historical, so they're pretty much all I write for historicals. I also love fantasies, and not all my fantasies are dragons and castles (although I have those as well). My Desert Princes, for instance, are considered fantasy because they involve magic. I love writing about magic. I have a couple of contemporaries, but that's it. I guess a vanilla contemporary isn't my cup of tea. My BEAST series is present day, but of course, there are fantastic things going on, so I don't get bored.

Laurie-What are some of your favorite authors?

Rebecca-Well, I gotta give props to Johanna Lindsey for being the first romance author I ever read. She's the one who got me to fall in love with the genre. I also enjoy the western Harlequin authors. Pam Crooks, Kate Bridges, Stacey Kane, & Cheryl St. John.

Laurie-Do you have a favorite place to write?

Rebecca-On my deck or on my front porch. I have a laptop, and I love writing outside. When it's quiet and the weather is nice.

Laurie-What are you working on next?

Rebecca-Right now, my efforts are with my Desert Princes. I'm going to have four or five books in this series (haven't decided). But it's an erotic series, so it's very fun -- and hot hot! THE VIPER PRINCE has just released on August 4th from Carnal Passions. Book II, THE SCARAB PRINCE, is coming in October. THE FALCON PRINCE will be coming soon after that, and I'm currently working on THE SPIDER PRINCE. I really love this series because it's so exotic and different than anything I've ever done. In the span of about six months, I've written almost the entire series! If you pick this one up, I hope you enjoy it just as much as you've enjoyed BEAST! :D


Thanks Rebecca!! Also I just had to add the cover to your Desert Princes of Jikkar series, its to hot not to *fans self LOL*..

Review Dark Warrior Untamed by Alexis Morgan

Dark Warrior Untamed- book three in The Talions
Author Alexis Morgan
Genre- Paranormal romance
Mass Paperback 360 pgs.
Authors website




Book description
He questions everything. No one thought Chief Talion Greyhill Danby would report to work so soon after wrapping up his affairs in London. Then again, ...more He questions everything. No one thought Chief Talion Greyhill Danby would report to work so soon after wrapping up his affairs in London. Then again, he didn’t expect to find a beautiful spy with a major attitude in his new office. Clearly the Kyth’s Grand Dame doesn’t trust him to do his duty—to protect her.

She fears the truth. Piper Ryan isn’t keen on the arrangement, either. Matching wits with an ancient warrior isn’t in her administrative job description. But sharing space with the red-hot head of security could have unexpectedly tempting benefits . . . if he doesn’t dig into her secret past.

Opposites always attract. When threatening e-mails result in danger, the fiery sparks between Piper and Grey grow scorching hot. They must defend the throne from a deadly invisible attacker, but will their raging desire keep them together . . . or will their burning suspicions tear them apart?





Rating-
Sexual-

Dark Warrior Untamed is the third book in the Talion series, I liked the first two, but this one was much more enjoyable. Morgan brings in a HUGE surprise to the Kyth’s Grand Dame and to the whole warriors themselves in this book, its a huge spoiler I hope no one tells. Now that I planted something in your mind to look forward to I will let you know what I can tell you. You get two villains that wants nothing more that to take down the Grand Dame, adventure, hot romance, one huge secret, one hot headed teen, that Gray has to knock down a few notches.

I really like how the author writes everyone into play, so you get the past hero and heroines and other characters along with the new hero and heroine. I also really liked the addition of the Teen Sean, at first I though he would get on my nerves, but he settles down enough to where I really enjoyed him and now I hope he will get his own book in the future.

Gray and Piper doesn’t look like from the outside that they belong together a bit more than a blind goose. You have Piper with tattoos, dark hair with purple and dark pink strains. She was a excellent heroin to me for Gray he needed to be taken down a few notches;) Gray is great with his British attitude and his proper way of dress.

When Gray comes back he finds a new addition to his office and that is Piper. He really doesn’t like it, but its only for a bit until she is in her new office. When Piper gets a weird email they both are thowned together into a adventure that almost cost Gray and Piper their life. Piper has a huge secret that no one knows and when she finds out Gray has had a PI on her she has to tell it all. All of this in the middle of a villain that wants nothing more than to take out the Grand Dame and the rest of them. It made me keep wanting to keep turning the pages to see what is to happen next
Reading order and its best to read these in order.

Interview with Paranromal author Pamela Palmer

I had the privilege to get an interview with author Pamela Palmer. I hope you enjoy the interview and if you haven't read the books please check them out.






Laurie- Would you please give us a little about yourself?

Pamela-Hi Laurie, I'm delighted to be here! I grew up wanting to be an astronaut, wound up majoring in engineering in school, and didn't realize I wanted to be a writer until one of my daydreams grew too big for my head and I decided to write it down. Who knew you could craft entire books out of daydreams? I sold my first book to Silhouette Nocturne in 2006 and have since sold thirteen, nine of which are on the shelves. Three more are written (book 5 in the Feral Warriors series and the final two books in the Esri series for Nocturne). Hunger Untamed comes out 2/22/11. The Nocturnes, I'm still waiting on release dates for.

Laurie-I simply love your Feral Warriors series. Would you tell those who have never read or heard about them, something about your wonderful series?

Pamela-The premise behind the Feral Warriors series is that there are only nine shape-shifters left in the world. At one time, the entire immortal Therian race was able to shift -- many different clans, dozens of different animal shifters. But five thousand years ago, the Therians and their traditional enemies, the Mage, joined forces to defeat the Daemons, mortgaging the majority of their power in the process. Now only one of each of the ancient shifter lines retains the power of his animal and the ability to shift. The nine known as the Feral Warriors. While each book in the series is a stand-alone romance, each is also another chapter in the larger story that will eventually come to a big, climactic ending. Five thousand years ago, the Daemons were defeated and incarcerated, but they're not gone. And now they're growing stronger again, once more threatening the world.


Laurie-You have 9 Feral Warriors. Is this the amount of books your going to write total? Or maybe add more Warriors to this already great cast?

Pamela-Good question and I can't give you an answer right now, because I just don't know.


Laurie-With all the magic and rituals you have in your books, do you spend a lot of time researching?

Pamela-No, that's one of the things I love about writing paranormals. I research locations, which is pretty easy since I live in the D.C. area. But most everything else comes out of my imagination.

Laurie- Now lets take a little on your heroine’s you have. I have to say out of all the series I have read I love your heroines, they are all strong and each one added to each warrior by their special abilities. Are these abilities hard or easy to come up with when you start a book? And would you tell us your favorite heroine so far?

Pamela-Thank you, Laurie! When I'm planning a new book, I'm constantly asking myself questions, constantly looking at the story from different angles. When I came up with Skye, the heroine of PASSION UNTAMED, I knew that the hero of that book, Paenther, had a fierce hatred of the Mage. So, of course, she had to be Mage. And like the Mage witch who'd nearly destroyed him, she had to betray and capture him. He had every reason in the world to hate Skye. Which is why my instincts told me she had to be the most gentle, sweet woman he'd ever come in contact with. That while she might have captured him, she was more of a victim than he was. Paenther is such a knight, such an honorable man, but his background gave him all this reason to distrust and hate her. Great conflict.


When I was developing RAPTURE UNTAMED, I knew in my heart that Jag was going to hurt Olivia. It might not be intentional, but he was going to betray her. So I had to figure out how this tough little fighter was vulnerable. It's from that question that the whole draden-kissed scenario was born.

Laurie-Have you thought about or are you going to give Pink her own story at some point?

Pamela-I love Pink, but I don't know what's in store for her. I have general ideas of what's going to happen in future books, but I don't have it all worked out. Most of it comes to me as I figure out each individual book.


Laurie-I was reading on your website you like Start Trek. Which is your favorite TV episode and which is your favorite movie?

Pamela-I loved Star Trek as a kid, but I only really got into the original series. I tried to watch The Trouble with Tribbles a couple of years ago for the first time in years (it used to be one of my favorites) and OMG, it did NOT live up to my memories. So low budget compared to what's produced today. My favorite Star Trek movie is definitely the latest one. But I love everything J.J. Abrams does.


Laurie- Would you give us a few genre that you like to read?

Pamela-I read mostly romance and urban fantasy. Some of my current favorite authors are Larissa Ione, Karen Marie Moning, Nalini Singh, and Keri Arthur.

Laurie-Your website says,“Who is Pamela Montgomerie“? Who she and what do you write under her name for those that don’t know?

Pamela-In addition to the Feral Warriors series for Avon Books and the Esri series for Silhouette Nocturne, I write a time travel series for Berkley Sensation under the pseudonym Pamela Montgomerie. Like all my books, these are action-filled stories with tons of romance and big, climactic endings. So far, I've published two -- SAPPHIRE DREAM and AMETHYST DESTINY. The time travel elements are magical stones in the possession of a little Rumplestiltskin-type man named Hegarty. He's one of my favorite characters -- an trouble-making imp with a heart of gold.


Laurie- Have you ever considered writing a different paranormal romance series?


Pamela-All the time. My imagination never stops spinning new stories and my muse just doesn't seem to be satisfied with one series at a time.


Laurie-What are you planning next?


Pamela-My editor and I plan to sit down next week at the RWA conference in Orlando and discuss just that. At the moment, I'm writing book 6 in the Feral Warriors series. After that, we'll see!

Thanks Pamela!

That’s what makes her no-strings affair with her boss so perfect—his power in bed matches his respect for her independence. Still, when he surprises her with a ménage for her birthday, her secret thrill wars with a nagging thought: Why would he so casually share her with another man?

Even though Mark Rodriguez holds Jodi at arm’s length from his heart, her self-confidence is a turn-on he can’t resist. Inviting old college buddy and future business partner Sam into their bed for one night was supposed to set free her wildest fantasy. Instead he finds the tables turned, forced to watch while Sam brings her to the height of ecstasy.

Now, Mark’s not so sure he wants to share his treasure…


My Review

A fun and kinky story, that I really ejoyed. Let me tell you a little on what you get before I get into the story. M/F/M with flogger, bondage, hot sex, video taping and rear door entire. Plus some fun with breaking and entering and getting caught.

Little spoilers
I liked reading Jodi. She is like most of us women that thinks a man has forgotten her birthday, but ends more suspired than she’d ever thought. She didn’t think Mark would take her fantasy list serious and start working on it nor was she expecting in being caught breaking into a mans house. Her job is to brake in to a house and get into a safe. Mark throws a little surprise in before she starts the job, he has her to put in a vibrator. Needless to say she is in full blown out vibrating when she is caught by the owner of the house. So fun to read.

Mark has shared women with Sam before, so he didn’t think nothing of it when he arranged for the both of them to share Jodi. What he didn’t expect to have a certain feeling to come up when he seen someone else touching Jodi either. I loved reading Mark and Sam both are hunks and ready to please. Sam’s book is the next one I can’t wait to read it.

Kyra is a con woman and a particular kind of thief. She steals with a touch, but she only takes one thing: her target’s strongest skill. Which means she can be a fighter, an athlete, a musician, an artist—anything she wants… for a limited time. Heartbroken, she turns her gift toward avenging her father’s murder; with deadly patience, Kyra works her way into casino owner Gerard Serrano’s inner circle. After pulling off the ultimate con, she flees with his money and his pride.

A hit man who never misses the mark.

Reyes has nothing but his work. Pity for Kyra, he’s the best and mercy never sways him once he takes a job. He’s been hired to find out where Kyra hid the cash—and bring her back to face Serrano’s “justice.” Dead will do, if he can’t locate the loot. He’s never failed to complete a contract, but Kyra tempts him with her fierce heat and her outlaw heart. So Reyes has a hell of a choice: forsake his word or kill the woman he might love.

The author's Site indicates the skin books should be able to stand on their own, but they are part of a series



My Review

Ok, I can really kick myself over this book, I have had it on my shelf for over 4 months and kept pushing it back. I just have two words for this book FREAKING AWESOME!!! If you have been like me and are pushing it back get to it quicker and if you’re a PNR reader and don’t have this one on your list please add it to try. There is a lot of wonderful reviews on this book already so I’m just going to highlight what I liked. I didn’t find anything I could dislike. There is intense action, violence, a hot car, hot romance and down right good old fighting for your life at times. I will say this is a very suspenseful PRN, so if you’re really into romantic suspense I think you’d enjoy this, its not overly heavy in the paranormal.

I love how the author takes you into the world of Kyra, her ability and Kyra as a con woman. I haven’t ran across any books where there was a Con woman, but Kyra is really good at what she does and how she uses her ability to go even further in her con. Excellent idea you don’t read everyday.

I loved Reyes as a matter a fact where can I find one like him? LOL. Reyes is good a his job, he always takes out his mark. Until he falls for Kyra. Now he will stop at nothing to keep her safe and happy even if its let her go.

These two are more alike than they think. I loved how the more you read the more their relationship in romance grows. The author really takes you into the hero and heroin characters into some depth and their twisted past lives. It makes more of an interesting read when you can get to know the characters more.

My Review

I found this book nothing less than a thrilling page turner, so much so I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I love a good suspense with out all that CSI stuff. If your looking for a book you can really sink you teeth in this would be it. I would suggest that you give yourself time to read this one its not a quick simple book to read. Cynthia delivers a punch in mystery, excitement, danger, emotions, and a enthralling cast of agent characters that I truly enjoyed reading. Plus she throws a few surprise’s along the way. I found the right amount of murder case and hot steamy romance between the hero and heroine, so I never got board with either one.

This book is a scary thriller, so if your kind of squeamish be careful this book is about a killer that gets to know his victims then he tortures and kills them and its not pretty to read

I loved the depth or intensity if you will, the author wrote between the hero and heroine its brilliant and it hooked me in the most. I really enjoyed both Luke and Monica they had relations once and now they are together again. I loved reading Luke. He knows both of them has secrets and he has to find a way to get Monica to tell all, before they can have a chance together. I loved how the author wrote Monica all tuff. She has a reason she knows the killers so well and its not pretty to read. It takes both Luke and Monica to take down the killer and in the mean time make things work between them. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good mystery suspense

Interview and giveaway with author Eve Langlais

I am pleased to have Author Eve Langlais, here with us today. I hope you guys enjoy the interview and check out Eve's books.

Laurie-Hello Eve, Nice to have you here with us today. Would you please tell us a little about what you write?

Eve-I write a variety of romance genres - fantasy, paranormal, science fiction, erotica, BDSM contemporary. If I had to choose a favorite though, it would have to be paranormal. I especially love to write stories about heroines who aren't considered good girls but who manage to find love anyways. Take Lucifer's Daughter, releasing August 9th from Liquid Silver. Muriel really wants to find love but being the daughter of the most infamous demon in the world has made her search for '/the one' /almost impossible. But when she does find her man, watch out, because she proves bad girls know how to heat up the pages.


Laurie-Tell us about your latest release? Is it a series? If so do you know how many books your writing for this series?


Eve-I've got two series that have come out recently. I'll deal with my super popular Alien Mate series first. Alien Mate is a hot story of alien abduction where one big blue alien with abs to die for kidnaps a plump and feisty earthling for his mate. In Alien Mate 2, recently released from Amira Press, we meet a new hunky alien who has come to earth to collect his mate, the only problem is the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with isn't the one that was chosen for him. Given the wild success of this series, I'd wager a guess that many of us women harbor secret alien fantasies. Can there be anything more romantic than a super stud crossing the vast galaxy just to be with you? Sigh. And for all you Alien Mate lovers, just so you know the voices in my head are clamoring for a third story where this time the big blue hunk will be the one abducted instead.
Now to my newest series which begins with my August ninth release from Liquid Silver titled Lucifer's Daughter. 'Being Satan's daughter can be hell.' Expect to have your vision of Heaven and Hell redefined, and as my editor laughingly admitted, make you love Satan in his role as father. The sequel, titled Snowballs in Hell, will be coming out in a few months and not only deals with the repercussions of Hell freezing over, it also delves into the naughty world of threesomes. Yum.

Laurie-What’s two of the biggest things that influence your writing?

Eve-Wow, I'm not sure. I think my mood when I sit down to write affects the direction of my stories. And the second thing, probably noise levels. With summer here and the kids out of school writing a good solid two or three hours straight without interruption is a vague memory. I really can’t wait for September and some quiet time. LOL. I do love the little monkeys though distracting as they are.

Laurie-How long did it take you to publish your first book?

Eve-I sat down to write my first book ever titled Take A Chance in February 2009. I finished it in April of 2009 and I submitted it to a publisher. I got a prompt revise/resubmit which I quickly did and by August of 2009 Champagne Books offered me my very first contract. Take A Chance, a fantasy romance about a modern day librarian and a cursed wizard, was released in June of this year. It's a sweet fairy tale romance with magic, danger and of course an evil sorceress. Its sequel, title Chance's Game dealing with characters met in Take A Chance, releases in February of 2011. Meddlesome gods and a magical quest make that one a real treat.

Laurie-If you could give one tip for an upcoming writer. What would it be?

Eve-Write. You can spend a lot of time researching, asking questions, reading blogs and socializing, but the most important thing is to write and make sure you finish what you start.

Laurie-What are some of your favorite books you’ve read?

Eve-Gosh, we could be here all day. LOL. I am a voracious reader. I inhale books on an almost daily basis. I will admit to being a Twilight fan. I do love Meyer’s version of vampires and the way she built a great love story without ever really having any sex. That takes talent! Kresley Cole is a great alpha male writer. I can never put her books down. Jim Butcher needs mentioning for his world building in the Dresden Files along with Patrica Briggs. They, and many more, all grace my groaning bookshelves.


Laurie-I read in your Bio you like to play the Wii? What are some of your favorite games?

Eve-LOL. I love Rockband. I am the designated guitar player with the Lego version being our music of choice. Mario Galaxy rocks as do all the Mario Party's. I'm proud to say I've played all 8. RPG's are my favorite games of all but sadly the Wii isn't too strong on those yet.

Laurie-What are you working on next?

Eve-Alien Mate 3 is currently brewing in my mind and begging for release. I've also got a Cleopatra paranormal that's partially fleshed out. According to her voice in my head, history didn't tell the whole truth and she's expecting me to set the record straight. I usually keep the projects section of my website, EveLanglais.com, updated with in progress works.
