Chased ~ Lauren Dane ~ Chase Brothers 3

I love Liv Davis, she's sassy, smart, and sexy. She knows what she wants and she goes for it. Of course she does end up thinking she needs to date a more marriage minded man than ladies man Marc Chase, but other than that I think she's brilliant.


Of course fans of this series may be a little jealous of Liv, she did have the distinction of dating sexy firefighter Matt Chase and then getting sexy as sin Matt Chase to be her very own personal trainer.


This series gets better with each book, her witty dialogue, sexy heroes and intelligent heroines will have me buying more from Lauren Dane in the years to come.

Taking Chase ~ Lauren Dane ~ Chase Brothers 2

I love the Chase Brothers series. Each book has a Phenominal woman in it that brings another sexy Chase brother to his knees.


In Taking Chase we meet Cassie Gambol, she is the epitome of femine strength. She lived through a nightmare of marriage and came out the other side, somewhat damaged yet stronger and IMO ready to know the joy of what real love has to offer.


Enter Shane Chase, town sheriff, oldest Chase brother and probably the most stubborn when it comes to falling in love. Watching him fall for Cassie is a pleasure, seeing his iron control falter and give way to his need for Cassie is utterly satisfying.


Together they heal, they grow and come out the other side better people ready to love and be loved.

Wolf Signs ~ Vivian Arend

I bought this book after reading great things about it over on Samhain's Reader Loop. I'm glad to say I wasn't disappointed. This story was heartwarming, sexy and has me waiting for more from Vivian in the future.


It is also the book I reviewed for this month's TBR Challenge. You can check out the full review here.

Montana Creeds: Tyler ~ Linda Lael Miller

What a great way to end a great trilogy. I loved Logan, I loved Dylan and I definitely Loved Tyler. I don't know that I could pick just one Creed man over another, but Tyler may have them by just a little.
Tyler's story ties up all the loose ends of what seperated the brothers in the first place and brings closure to all the doubts the brother's had about themselves and the women they love. Lily is Ty's perfect match, she makes him stronger and helps him find the man he was always meant to be.
The Creeds have made me a Linda Lael Miller fan, now I just have to find the cash to begin buying all her McKettrick novels, just don't tell my husband.

For Her Pleasure ~ Maya Banks *SPOILERS*

I love Maya Banks she writes sex so hot I wonder if her novels are going to melt my hardrive. For Her Pleasure has all the hot sex I expect from a Maya Banks novel and Ryder Sinclair is ALPHA Hot all the way, but it's his story that had me torn as I read this collection of novellas. I really felt like he needed to find a special woman all his own.
His love for Kit was believable, but when her and Mac commited to one another I was sure Ryder was destined to find his special woman. When his novel cleary had him returning to his relationship with Kit and that he would share her with Mac I admit I was a little sad.
I still love Maya's books and will continue to devour them as she releases them, yet I can't help but to want Ryder to find his own woman to love.

Amazon Rank Shunning Readers Since 2009

Two little words with enormous meaning behind them.

AMAZON RANK


The meaning however in this case far out exceeds the impact of them. I was shocked when I read this morning about Amazon and it's new ranking system. One that is not consistent and is insulting to the publishing industy as a whole.


The every same people Amazon makes money off of are now being stipped from the front pages and from the tops of searches because they are labeled "adult" and not suitable.


I'm not by any means an expert on the law, I'm not an author or a publisher, but I am a consumer so aside from hitting them with this Google Bomb, I'm hitting them in the wallet.


We are in a recession, yet I still faithfully buy books, but after this I can tell you I won't be buying them from Amazon.

Covert Lessons Mari Carr

I discovered Mari Carr when I read her first Samahin release Erotic Research, it was well written, had a great storyline and was extermely sexy. She hooked me and now many releases later I purchase her books as soon as they come out.


COVERT LESSONS unfortunately went the way of many of my purchases, I but them and read them later. So yesterday when I was looking for a quick and sexy eBook to read I naturally thought of Mari. This book is hot, smoking hot and has one seriously sexy and dominated police Lt. than could cuff me anytime, well plotted, fast paced and panty melting hot COVERT LESSONS is another satisfying read from one of my new favorite Authors.

Saving Sarah Lacey Thorn

I literally stumbled across this novella this morning at work. From the first pages we are thrust into the storyline. Sarah is wrongfully acused of killing her father, thus putting her in the Bride Lottery. In a mere 31 pages we are introdued the Bride Lottery concept, we find Sarah married to Riley who fortunately is the man of her dreams.
SAVING SARAH is smoking hot for certain, it makes for a quick read and definitely has me wondering where Ms. Thorn will take this series in the future.

Glutton for Pleasure Alisha Rai

A spicy quick read from new Samhain Author Alisha Rai. Jace and Marcus are hot, hot, hot and Devi is just a fabulous heroine. She cooks, she loves, and she has two meddling older sisters. They mean well and they certainly rocked the boat.
I love books with food as a theme and a well written menage IMO is not to be missed. To check out a longer review check out my other blog tomorrow morning

Sweet Surrender Maya Banks

After reading Be With Me I decided to check out SWEET SURRENDER. Reading both back to backmade me realize just how great a writer she is, whether it's a menage or just one couple she draws you in. I stayed up til 2 am to finish it, it was that good.
Grey was OMG hot and I just loved Faith, she knows what she wants and embraces it never settling for less than she thought she deserved. The sex between Grey and Faith is breathstealing and not for the faint of heart. My one and only downer was at the end. It felt like the crime, the murder of Alex was never really resolved. I know we can assume that Samuels did it, but it never really gets spelled out for us. Minor yes, but still even after sleeping on it before rating this novel it still haunts me. I love Maya and her writing, she's definitely an Autobuy Author for me.

Be With Me Maya Banks

So many people have raved about this book and after finishing it in about 4 hours today I would have to say I agree. Reggie is one stubborn and very lucky lady, she has not one, not two, but three very different hunks longing to care for her.
Cam, Hutch, and Sawyer have got to be some of the hottest men I have ever read about, each one is desirable in their own right, but together wholly smokes, they would make any woman melt.
The sex is hot, over the top erotic, but Reggie manages to connect with each man that never left me in doubt of their love for her and hers for them. Friends to lovers, these four have lived through so much, their love is unconvential yet utterly believable.

Phantom Desires Bianca D'Arc

I feel like I have been waiting forever for this book. It's a reissue so I did know some of the plot line before even beginning it, but that didn't diminish my need to read this novella. I could easily point out the newer segments over they old and this revamped version is a much stronger novella, with a much fuller storyline. It has all the steamy sexual tension and chemistry I've come to expect from Bianca, but a depth that had me connecting more with Carly and Dmitri this time around.
The previous release was 6 or 7 out of 10, this time around PHANTOM DESIRES comes in at a:

Saddled Delilah Devlin

Hot, Hot, Hot, this is Delilah's first book with Samhain. Like her other books she balances over the top sexuality with emotional connections that are believable and had me wanting more. A erotic menage with two sexy cowboys that will have you wanting them both, lucky Kate, she gets to have them both.
SADDLED will have you seeking out your signifigant other, so you may want to make sure their available after you finish reading this novella.

Paradise Valley Robyn Carr

Book 7 of her Virgin River Series. A moving story that had me in tears, but left me with questions that need answers. Will Dan and Cheryl fall in love? What did they name the twins? What happens to Rick and Liz? Does Abby marry Cameron? Will the General and Muriel get married or just continue on as they have been? See so many questions and no answers. I'm hoping that Ms. Carr revisits Virgin River and the people who live there. They're like family and I need to know how they are doing.
