Black

I have to say, my enjoyment of this series and its characters runs deep. With each new installment, the characters continue to develop and exhibit increasingly nuanced personalities, while new figures leap off the page, brimming with vibrant energy. The author skillfully integrates the introduction of these new characters and their circumstances into the ongoing narrative, maintaining a seamless flow without any major disruptions. The Chicago backdrop serves as a fantastic canvas for the story, one that resonates with me personally and adds to my overall enjoyment.

This particular book picks up right where “Bound Guardian Angel” left off. We find Micah in a state of emotional turmoil as he grapples with the shocking revelation that he has a half-brother and that his father is alive. His father’s emotional struggle following the loss of his mate has profoundly impacted the way his brother was brought up, leading to a complicated and troubling situation that Micah must now navigate.

As the narrative unfolds, more secrets come to light, indicating that Micah’s life is about to undergo significant changes, albeit not in the ways he had envisioned. Some of these revelations hit him hard, particularly one from King Bain that shatters everything Micah believed about himself and his family dynamics.

The story begins with a gripping prologue set 950 years ago amid a fierce battle that ultimately shapes Micah’s character and influences his approach to life’s challenges. From that point, the narrative skillfully shifts to the present day, illustrating the reasons behind Micah’s profound appreciation for Samantha, who brings light into his otherwise tumultuous life.

The portrayal of the vampire world is intriguing and refreshingly unique. The stark age difference between Micah and Katarina serves as a poignant reminder that, within their realm, age is merely a social construct rather than a definitive measure of one’s worth or abilities.

In summary, I absolutely love this series, adore the author’s distinctive storytelling style, and am thrilled with this latest entry. I eagerly anticipate what comes next in this captivating saga. Enjoy this book as much as I did!

Ice Planet Barbarians

by

I had yet to delve into the works of this author until now, but I was completely captivated by this story. While the premise may echo themes we’ve encountered before, it’s the execution that truly matters, and this tale is masterfully crafted. From the very first page, I was pulled into the narrative and found myself unable to set it down until the final word. I quickly developed a genuine affection for the characters, who were incredibly well-developed considering the brevity of their introductions. Although the world-building is solid, I felt there’s still room for more exploration, particularly regarding the planet’s unique flora and fauna.

At the center of the story is Georgie Carruthers, a pragmatic woman who has never put stock in the idea of extraterrestrial life. However, her beliefs face a dramatic upheaval when she and several other women are abruptly abducted from Earth in the dead of night and transported aboard a mysterious spacecraft destined for an unknown location. When the ship encounters mechanical issues, the captors make the decision to jettison their human cargo, leaving the women stranded on a desolate ice planet, with plans to come back for them later.

However, the women refuse to accept a fate of waiting to be reclaimed. Electing Georgie as their unexpected leader, she bravely takes on the critical task of seeking assistance and a way out of their bleak predicament. Enter Vektal, a striking native of the icy world who possesses both the desire and the means to help her.

The narrative shifts seamlessly between the perspectives of Georgie and Vektal, offering a rich, multidimensional experience that immerses the reader deeply in their journey. The story is infused with a tantalizing spice that enhances the romantic tension without crossing into the realm of the overly sensational. I eagerly anticipate the continuation of this saga; that level of excitement is a true testament to the author’s skill.

A Witches Mortal Desire

by

This is a new author for me, and while I encountered a few issues, I still enjoyed the story overall. It took me a while to get through it, mainly because there were moments when the pacing slowed down, prompting me to set the book aside temporarily. However, I always returned to it, believing it was worth the effort.

I liked all the characters except for Sadie’s mother, who lacked any redeeming qualities in my view. While the characters were generally well-developed, I felt they could use a bit more depth, which can likely be addressed in future books. I also noticed a few typos, such as “titled” instead of “tilted.” Additionally, the world they inhabit could have been better fleshed out, especially since it is supposed to parallel our own.

Sadie Willamena Holt is the middle child in a family of witches but lacks magic and the respect of her mother and older sister. They treat her poorly, making her feel like a bad and evil person because of who she is.

Sadie has come to terms with being an outsider, as it is a role she has always occupied. Nevertheless, she has good friends who make her feel valued and a life that is worth living. Her life may be unconventional, but it is still uniquely hers.

There are some steamy elements to be aware of, as this story includes ménage pairings of various genders. I would recommend it.

Boobarella and The Space Penises

by

This story was decent, but nothing exceptional. It reminded me of the 1960s movie “Barbarella” starring Jane Fonda. While there may not have been any space penises—an interesting touch in this narrative—men were still involved. The cast is entirely female, which brings its own implications.

The story is fairly average, and the characters are only somewhat developed. Since this is a serial, it requires a commitment, and I’m not sure I’m willing to make that commitment. I doubt the plot will maintain my interest beyond one or two episodes unless significant improvements are made to the storyline and it shifts away from the 1960s vibe I associate with it.

Cougar Christmas

by

I love this author and she never fails to entertain me with whatever genre she happens to be writing in. I liked the two main characters from the beginning and the story got my attention and did not let go until the very end, even if it had to be over a few days. Sometimes I wish I did not have to sleep or work so I could just read right through.

Genevieve Wells is a cold-as-ice boss about to lose her job if she cannot produce a mate for the Intensely Intimate Couples’ retreat that she won at the office Christmas party. She signed a contract stating she would go to the boss if there was any trouble in her marriage and she did not do it. Now she may have to face the consequences of not thinking before signing.

Drew Jamison is Genevieve’s long-suffering employee who has been angling for a promotion for quite a while. He dislikes Genevieve while at the same time being very attracted to her, even though she is ten years his senior. When he gets Genevieve to tell him what is bothering her he makes her a proposal that can help them both. He will go with her if she will give him his promotion.

While Genevieve fights to keep things professional because of her age and position, Drew wants to move things along in a more personal direction.

This is a hot and kind sweet story of an older woman who finds herself attracted to a younger man whom she feels she cannot have. I think anyone will enjoy this holiday treat.

Fury

by

I have never read this author before but really love her style based on this particular book. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down to do anything else. I really liked Fury when he was introduced and felt for everything that happened to him. It took me a little longer to fully warm up to Ellie but I did because she seemed so sincere about everything she did, if a bit impulsive. All the other characters were very well fleshed out and it makes me more than ready to read their stories as well. The timeline is never stated so I have no idea whether this is the near future or the present, but science would say it is more a future event.

Fury was born and bred through the fusion of human and animal DNA to be an unwilling test subject at Mercile Industries. His life has been nothing but pain and betrayal from a human after human and he has come to hate them. Because they created him they feel they can treat him like an animal and do as they please. When a new nurse comes into his cell she seems to be different, she smiles at him and tries not to hurt him. He begins to trust her and looks forward to when she comes. But then one human he has trusted betrays him and he swears that if he is ever freed he will kill her.

Ellie Brower was working as a nurse at the corporate headquarters of Mercile Industries and was unaware of the more immoral testing that was being done in the name progress. When she is approached by a law enforcement officer about going undercover in the secret lab she is willing because she feels that they are abusing people not just animals. When she first sees Fury, known as 416, she is immediately attracted to him and wants nothing more than to save him. When she has to betray him it is the hardest thing she has ever done.

This was a great story with a lot of action, gun fights, hate groups, and raids. There was also a love story that was hard won by the two people involved and some seriously HOT love scenes that could make you blush. The New Species are some of the hottest-sounding hybrids I have read about in a while and if only they were available. I would recommend this book very highly. I am hoping the rest of the series is just as good.

The Taking

by

Another good entry in Jillian’s diary as she and Dean take things to the next level in their sexual journey. This couple is having a wonderful time finding out what the other likes and can handle. It gets more interesting and sensual with every entry.

Jillian and Dean play a game of Hide and Seek that brings out the animal in Dean. They then finally enter their playroom which Jillian has filled with a few good toys for them to explore.

You have to read it to believe it.

The Seduction

by

The characters are the same but change as they fall further into the Awakening that Jillian set in motion when she visited dean’s office. There was no significant story here more like 3 experiments being done by the couple which were broken up. This is a short story with three short stories within. I really like this couple because they seem very real and I hope that anyone would be as open as they are.

Dean and Jillian Noble are a married couple having a sexual awakening after 19 years of marriage. The journey is good for both and especially for Dean who has wanted to try things with the woman he loves that he felt were too dark and kinky. When Jillian opens the door Dean is more than happy to go through and find out what works for them both.

This was just an alright entry for me though I like them I think it would have been better to have something else going on besides just the set-up for more sex. Not to say that I don’t like sex but give me something more about them. Where does Jillian work, or does she? Still, I think it will be enjoyable for most.

A Werewolf to call Her Own

by

I really do like this series. It’s pretty much light and fluffy with a nice romance that may not go smoothly but you know it will work out in the end. You get just what you need from this book and the others because you just want to be taken away for a while and this does that perfectly. The characters are who they need to be and you don’t need to go super deep because they give you enough. The location is exotic but could be almost any Island paradise you can imagine so it almost tailors to the individual.

Maxim is on vacation from the rigors of being beta to a pack he helped build. He has always had a hard time relaxing but this place seems to be working. Ceara is a young vampire, full blood, who is at Mystic Isle for the solstice but has a bucket list she would love to work on. When Maxim sees the young vamp he is enchanted and wants to meet her, and he gets his chance when she is approached by a demon who scares her. Maxim knows right away that she deserves better than him but cannot help wanting to spend what time he can with her.

Ceara falls fast for the werewolf who rescues her and just wants him to be the one. After being cloistered for so long she just wants to break out and enjoy herself if possible. Maxim could do that for her or he could cause her true heartache.

It kind of bugged me that the spelling of Ceara’s name changed from time to time. Other than that I found everything to be great. Look for that HEA for Ceara and Max.

The Cajun’s Captive

by

I have read something from this author before and liked it enough to try this series. While this did not grab me out the gate I still did enjoy it. The characters seem thin but I assume they will get more of a lift as this continues since they will likely be seen in subsequent books even though they will not be the focus. I also expect that their surroundings, besides the fact that it is Louisiana, will be more fully fleshed out. This didn’t really give me a chance to see them in my head and become a part of the story.

Sebastian Deveraux is the Alpha of his pack and like all his brothers is sexy as pure sin. He has waited decades for the right woman, his mate. He was sure he’d found her in Amanda St. James ten years earlier, but she ran from him. When she shows up on his porch as a hurricane is blowing in he decides to do anything to keep her with him. Even if that means chaining her to his bed.

Nice enough story but I hope to get more from the rest of the series. Still worth reading.
