Walking Death’s Edge by L. Shannon

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Demons, Magic, e-books by Amy on Wednesday 31 December 2008 at 8:57 pm
*****

Bryck, the commander of the Anom’tan unit, came to the scene seeking Maya. Bryck always had problems in controlling his death magic, but when he touches Maya, he is surprised. His magic does not affect her, and she intrigues him. She brings peace to his power and his heart, but will they make it in time to save Flayvor?

Walking Death’s Edge is absolutely fabulous! All the mysteries and questions shall be answered in this final book. All characters are joined in this book with ménage a trios and a sex magic ritual. It’s wonderful to see demons have their own happy ending.

Walking At Sundown by L. Shannon

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Demons, Vampires, e-books by Rachel on Wednesday 31 December 2008 at 8:33 pm
*****

Now that the Anom’tan unit have more information to find the one responsible for the kidnapping of their team member, Mayce and his mate Spyce are ordered to find Dante, the owner of the Sundown Club, famous for its BDSM. Dante is willing to help them in exchange for three things. Will he be strong enough to survive the sex dominating by two Synn demons?

Another cliffhanger is waiting at the end of this story. Even though this is the third book in the series, it has all the same bloodthirsty, intense, wild sex as the first two books. In  Walking At Sundown, L. Shannon introduces us to the world of BDSM. Her books never ceases to amaze me as they are all unique in their own way with different sexual approaches.

Walking In Memories by L. Shannon

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Demons, e-books by Amy on Wednesday 31 December 2008 at 8:22 pm
*****

Twin brothers Chayse and Rayce were given a task to find the information needed to find Flayvour. The person who holds the key is Clarice. When they find her, her will was broken and she was wounded. Her memory of the incident was brutally taken from her, and her mind left twisted, hollow and empty. It is up to the brothers to reach out to her and heal her to gain the lost memories. But what they they don’t expect is the strong attraction between them.

Walking In Memories is a continuation from the first book Walking with Synn. As it is closely related to the first book, it is recommended to read all the books in the series in order. This book is not for the faint heart as it contains menage a trois, biting, sucking, and lots and lots of wild sex - in the shower, in an alley and even in the bedroom.  L. Shannon left me breathless and wanting more. Walking In Memories is as good as the first book, and I surely can’t wait to read the sequels.

Walking with Synn by L. Shannon

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Demons by Amy on Wednesday 31 December 2008 at 8:07 pm
*****

Barely alive after being ambushed, Sayvor is found weak and in pain. His twin brother has been kidnapped right in front of his eyes and he cannot remember what exactly occurred during the kidnapping. He begins to grow weaker and weaker as the anchor to his soul has been taken away from him. He has lost the connection between himself and his brother that ensures his survival. His memory is important as it is the only way to find out who took Flayvor and how. Aware that he needs to gain enough strength for him to remember, his demon friends seek help from a paranormal psychologist, Sasha Washington. As a Synn demon, the only way for him to have enough strength to remember is through sexual pleasure, and a lot of it.

Wow!! This book will leave you breathless and make you hunger for more of her work. L. Shannon has a way that makes you stick your nose in the book and read it straight till the end. It is definitely a recommended read.

In Plain Sight by Gracie C. McKeever

Posted under Adult Content, Angels, Book Reviews, Ghosts, Kindle, e-books by Virginia on Tuesday 30 December 2008 at 7:45 am
****½

Samantha Taylor is murdered by her husband, Dawson Foster, after he pushes her down the stairs. Fate conspires to use Sam to help out in others’ lives. Dara Kelly is a bounty hunter. When a job goes south, she finds herself hanging outside her body and trying to help the intruder who moved in and took over her life. She has problems with commitment and wants to be independent, much to her boyfriend’s, Caution Foster’s, dismay. When he tries to get her to settle down, she disappears from his life for weeks. Little does he know that the woman who comes back to him is not the same woman. In the meantime, Dara and Sam are working to find out who is behind the attacks on Dara since she has issues with a fellow bounty hunter. When the attacks hit close to home, they will do anything to keep Caution and his family safe. Will they be able to stop the attacker in time?

I give this book 4 1/2 tombstones. I really enjoyed the twist on the switching bodies - only this time, two people are pretty much trying to share the same body. Talk about an out of body experience! I have to admit, the ending was not quite what I expected, but I really did enjoy Sam and Dara’s story. It was an interesting tale. The book does take a few twists and turns as they work to find out who is out to get Dara. The romance is steamy and the plot thickens with each page, and in my mind, it is an unexpected ending. Gracie C. McKeever writes an exciting and compelling story in her book In Plain Sight. I would recommend that if you enjoy books about fate and ghosts, that you pick this up today.

Book Excerpt:“When Samantha Taylor dropped out of her senior year of college to marry gorgeous and almost ten years her senior Dawson Foster, she never knew what she was getting into. But Sam is a quick study, and a year into her marriage, she prepares to remove her unborn baby and herself from a bad situation before it’s too late. A headlong tumble down some stairs, however, violently nips her plans in the bud. But someone upstairs has other plans for Sam in the form of rough-and-ready, newly-expired bounty hunter, Dara Kelly.

Twice-divorced, Dara Kelly doesn’t want to get married again, not even to luscious, Cuban-Irish Caution Foster. An African-American woman, she thrives in a profession where men set the rules, garnering respect and a tough reputation to match. But along with respect comes envy and enemies who will stop at nothing to gain a bounty…not even murdering a fellow skip tracer.”

Predators Salvation by Gracie C. McKeever

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Magic, Psychics, Vampires, e-books by Virginia on Monday 29 December 2008 at 12:37 am
****½

Mateo Diaz has always had trouble connecting deeply with women. He keeps dreaming of one woman in particular and he is not even sure who she is. Little does he know that his employers’, Alex and Genesis Ryan’s, interest in recruiting him for their Harvesting program make him a target for LaMia Enlil. LaMia had been exiled to Earth. She kidnaps Mateo and desires to make him her slave in order to keep Alex and Genesis from having him. She has had slaves in the past but never any as willful as Mateo. Little does she know that someone is out to exact revenge on her and will stop at nothing to get that revenge.

I give this book 4 1/2 tombstones. Predator’s Salvation is the second book in the Sisters of Emsharra series. After the first book Guardian Seductress, I thought for sure I would not like LaMia at all. The second book offers some insight into who she is and shows a tender side of her, which made her more likable in my mind. Mateo is a perfect match for her and I enjoyed the chemistry that occurs between them. Ms. McKeever writes several very hot and steamy scenes between Mateo and Mia. Alex and Genesis do make an appearance in the book but are minor to the main plot and story between Mia and Mateo. The further I got into Predator’s Salvation, the more trouble I had putting the book down and walking away to get other things done. Gracie C. McKeever weaves a compelling and erotic storyline in this book. There are parts of the book that refer book to Guardian Seductress, so it may be better to read that book before reading this one, but I would definitely recommend this one as a must read!

Book Excerpt: “An intern architect at Ryan and Associates, Mateo Diaz has spent the last year learning his craft under the tutelage of partner Alex Ryan. Alex is the closest thing to family that Mateo has known since losing his own family years ago. But not even Alex has been able to elicit the complete truth behind Mateo’s family’s death, especially when even Mateo himself is uncertain of the facts.

Shadowing the pair responsible for her exile, LaMia Enlil discovers a perfect means to her revenge against Alex and Genesis in Mateo Diaz, her newest target, a carrier of the rarest human energy, spirit-boost, and the only remaining blood-relative of the two males from whom LaMia once sampled the much sought-after kundalini.

Someone else, however, has a mean score to settle with LaMia and will not stop until she destroys everything the Inanna cares about, starting with her latest pet: Mateo Diaz.”

Guardian Seductress by Gracie C. McKeever

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Magic, Sci-Fi, Shapeshifters, Succubus, e-books by Virginia on Monday 29 December 2008 at 12:16 am
****

Genesis is entrusted with the duty of watching over her friend Kalika’s half-human son. Twenty-eight years later finds her still on earth protecting him, unbeknownst to Alex. When she shows up after his father’s funeral and explains his heritage, he initially questions her sanity. After he sees proof of her claims, Alex has to accept that he is the cambion and that his life is in danger. Genesis fights to protect him from the insurgents. She thinks that the only way to protect him is to take him to Emsharra and enlist the help of the Quna. Will she be able to keep him safe in the meantime?

I give this book 4 tombstones. It had an interesting premise. Alex and Genesis were strong characters and I enjoyed learning about them. I would have liked to have had more background about Genesis’s race and how Alex’s mother, Kalika, and his father met. This book was full of almost non-stop action. Even though the book was ladled with scorching sex scenes, I thought they were tastefully done and not too over the top. The book also had a nice balance of storyline versus sex scenes, which made for a great read as well. If you enjoy reading paranormal books about races from other dimensions, you may want to pick up Guardian Seductress by Gracie C. McKeever.

Book Excerpt: “When the mysterious Genesis shows up at Alex Ryan’s condo claiming to have known Alex’s mother, warning that his father’s death was no accident, and that Glenn Ryan wasn’t the target, Alex thinks the woman is stark raving mad. Once Genesis explains that she is not human, and has been watching Alex since he was born, he is certain of it.

Genesis is Inanna, an ancient race of people who subsist on the energy they regularly siphon from humans through sexual intercourse. But one of their own broke the sacred covenant twenty-eight years ago when she gave birth to the cambion, Alex Ryan. Now, time is running out. A power struggle is afoot in Emsharra, and a major shift is about to occur. The insurgent doesn’t want any loose ends threatening her rise to power-mainly the only other blood kin of the current Quna: Alex Ryan and his treasonous guardian, Genesis.”

Nine Inches of Snow and the Ebony Princess by Gracie C. McKeever

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Kindle, Shapeshifters, e-books by Shona on Sunday 28 December 2008 at 2:09 pm
****

Aziza has lost everything to her bitchy step mother, Philomena. Her father is dead, and his fortune squandered. Now Aziza works in a hospital, along with Philomena who is searching for her next rich husband and has her eyes on David. Philomena vows revenge when David dumps her in favor of Aziza.

Aziza feels an instant connection to David. When David is almost killed in a hit and run, Aziza is visited by a ghostly wolf. At David’s bedside, she learns he is the wolf and is trapped out of his body. Helping him reclaim his body before the killer tries again will require some peculiar nursing skills.

Nine Inches of Snow and the Ebony Princess was a cute fairy tale, and while the characters where familiar - the prince, the down trodden princess and the evil step mom - it was still a fresh and sexy read that left me wanting to know more about Aziza and David’s life together.

The Last Templar by Amber Dayne

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Fantasy, e-books by Justice on Sunday 28 December 2008 at 1:49 pm
****½

This fantasy was captivating! Breanne O’Donnell gives all new meaning to what an Irish Princess should be: autonomous, hale and magical.

Sir Ashlon Sinclair is an intuitive and mysteriously inviting character. He knows what he whats but is cautious to give in to his desire.

The story was alluring and suspenseful. It kept me on edge of my seat. Having so many turns, the ending was a stupendous surprise. Personally, it is a very gratifying read. I would be delighted to see a few spin offs from this novel as well.

Book Excerpt:“Evil walked the night—and yet Breanne was so drawn to the dark stranger that had washed up upon their shores that she found she couldn’t count the risk of slipping away in the dead of night, of going to him to offer succor—even after she’d found her mentor brutally slain.”

The Djinn by Marie Morin

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Magic, e-books by Danielle on Sunday 28 December 2008 at 1:20 pm
****

Elise Beauchamp is still trying to recover from the death of her husband when she encounters a bonafide djinn. Most people think of I Dream of Jeannie when they hear the word djinn, or the more popular version of genie. But the djinn who appears in her house after she takes the stopper out a perfume bottle she buys at an open-air market is far from nubile, blonde, and female. He is tall, muscular, and devastatingly attractive in an exotic manner. He is also rather annoyed at having been summoned by a human being, regardless of how attractive she is. From there develops a funny and poignant love story between two unlikely lovers.

I liked Elise. She was down to earth, spunky, and really made me feel for her situation as a fairly recent widow who is unsure how to move on after her husband’s demise. I was a little worried the djinn in this book would be of the popular variety: all flash and no substance. Thankfully, Raheem is the powerful being that is the djinn of Middle Eastern folklore. He is also hilarious, exciting, and interesting as a love interest. He has an amusing habit of making Elise’s clothes fall off, at first because he knows it makes her uncomfortable, and eventually because he is more than happy to see her naked.

The story enfolds with Elisa spending the beginning trying to figure out how to send Raheem back to where he belongs and fighting her surprisingly intense attraction to him. He is at first annoyed at the puny human who opened the gateway to his world. However, he soon finds himself intrigued and attracted to the spunky human who is still grieving over her husband who died more than a year ago. Although this is a novella, the story unfolds in a logical fashion and the storyline does not wrap in a manner that felt rushed. You see annoyance turn to love and root for this couple to be together. Morin makes it clear that a djinn being with a human is forbidden, but when do hearts follow rules? The last part of the story is about working out how this couple will be together.

I found this story both hilarious and touching. I wanted to read more, and found myself laughing out loud at some of both Raheem’s and Elise’s actions as they had their little power struggle. I also found myself feeling sadness at Elise’s loss and the tragedy she sees as her job as an EMT. In addition, there is some adventure as an old foe of Raheem, who happens to be a powerful djinn as well, kidnaps Elise to draw Raheem into a fantastic battle to end all battles. I appreciated that Ms. Morin tried to write a story that does include a djinn that reflects the true folkloric backgrounds of the djinn. She put her own spin on it that gave it a different, fresh perspective, which I enjoyed.

Another element I appreciated about this story is that the hero being a djinn didn’t confine this narrative to be one in which the mistress of the djinn spends all her time asking for wishes and seeing them become twisted by the bitter sense of humor of the djinn. There are three wishes granted, and the manner in which they occur add to the story. The sensuality of this story was hot, but Ms. Morin took the time to develop the emotional connection between the characters long before they had their first full love scene.

The Djinn was a fun, interesting read. It took a myth that had long intrigued me and built a romantic story that kept me involved until the end.
