Blood and Mint Chocolates was the first f/f erotic romance I had the pleasure of reading. The writing is strong, and the lust between the two main characters is sinfully hot. Blood and Mint Chocolates makes it official; author Adrianne Brennan is a must-read erotic romance writer.

Kiss of Darkness was excellent. I felt as though I were getting two books in one. The details, the heartache and the emotion given to the characters only enhanced a finely crafted masterpiece. I didn’t think the writing could get better after I read book one in the series Touch a Dark Wolf, yet it did. Jennifer St. Giles packs an emotional punch that will take your breath away.

I found myself captivated until the very last page. I wanted to cry with these characters, laugh with them and share their hot chocolate (you’ll have to read the book to understand the hot chocolate reference). Fans of Jennifer St. Giles better buckle up and grab onto the dashboard…this book is going to take you on one hell of a ride.

Zed Ashton is on the run. He was once the powerful pack alpha until a werewolf named Carrick took that title away and left him crippled. Zed moved to a small town, trying to get his life back together, and did a decent job of it for three years. Now Carrick is back, and Zed’s peaceful world is shattered once again. His hunger drives him out of hiding and right into the arms of a tempting stranger.

Kristin Havers works at a diner. For weeks, she’s been watching one particular male who comes in by himself to have a meal. She finds herself daydreaming about the mysterious man and believes the paint on his hands is the result of his artistic endeavors as a painter. On Christmas Eve, just as she’s closing the diner, her mysterious man walks in. She decides to invite him to her house, longing to find out more about him. What they discover together will change both of their lives forever.

Sedonia Guillone pulls you right into the story from the first page. Zed heard the howls of his enemies while he was out hunting in the quiet woods surrounding his home. Instead of fulfilling the hunger his body demands, he races back home and changes back into human form. Now he must decide his best course of action against the very wolf that took everything from him years before.

My only problem with this novella was the heroine’s decision to take Zed home to feed him. They’d seen each other many times, though she really didn’t know him. This could work for some characters, but it seemed out of character for Kristin and it pulled me out of the story for a bit. Zed and Kristin both feel the pull of attraction, and Zed believes she might even be his mate. The sex scenes are incredibly hot and powerful – which pulled me right back into the story. If you’re a fan of shifters, I would recommend this hot little novella.

C.J. is a sin-eater. She loves the bad boys because those are the men that are able to feed her. She believes she has her night’s meal sitting right in front of her at a speed-dating session. He’s a terrible sinner – a perfect match for what she so desperately needs. After ten minutes are up, another man takes his place. Only this one isn’t so evil…

When Gabe takes a seat in front of the gorgeous woman, he’s captivated by her. But before his ten minutes with her are up, she flees their table and leaves the building. He’d seen such despair in her eyes that he had no other option than to follow her. When he finds her in an alley, secrets and desires are unleashed.

Okay, so I’ve never read an Ellora’s Cave Quickie before – and boy was I surprised. This quickie was awesome! I want more of this world that Anna J. Evan’s created. In fact, I want more of C.J. and Gabe, in particular. It takes a talented author to pack a story into thirty-six pages. Being a fan of paranormal novels, I’m going to head on over to Anna’s website and see what other books she has out, and I recommend you do the same – right after you read “Wicked Delicious”.

Jana Michael’s dreams of a fresh start in life, and her new job at Passions, an adult-only result set in a Caribbean paradise, is just the catalyst. She vows to remain an independent woman, but when she meets Travis and Tristan all coherent thought vanishes. There is one catch – employees are forbidden to have sex with the patrons of Passions. Fraternization will not be tolerated.

Travis Cadence and Tristan Nolan are on a mission – to find their one, true mate. Once they meet Jana, they know she’s the one. Absolutely nothing will stop them from claiming their mate now that they have found her.

Passions is…wow. It is easily one of the best erotic books I’ve read to date. Travis and Tristan are rough and tender, and Jana is one lucky heroine. The sex scenes are off the charts, and trust me, there are plenty of them. All I have to say is dig in – and enjoy your stay at the Passions resort.

Kylie was born a werewolf, though unlike her sisters, she is quiet and reserved. She enjoys solitude, often seeking her garden for its quiet simplicity. Her sister Talia is the opposite of her – strong, confident and capable. Talia is a Hunter. She tracks rogue werewolves and vampires for the safety of their species.

Kylie’s life is drastically changed when she refuses the advances of an admirer. He uses the Scepter of Danu to kill her – only Fate has another plan for her. She is made into a vampire – the very thing Talia hunts. To escape her fate, Kylie enlists the help of her brother, Daemon, to seek the Scepter creator, an ancient goddess named Danu. Meanwhile Kylie protects her sister Talia, keeping to the shadows so as not to be seen. If Talia finds out the truth of Kylie’s vampire nature she will kill her, family ties be damned.

Destruction of an Innocent had many poignant, touching scenes. I found myself mourning the loss of Kylie’s innocence as she learns to survive in a harsh world. That being said, the plot itself wasn’t that strong. I could not fathom why Kylie could not tell her sister, Talia, that she was alive – or undead. Talia loved her beyond reason, and though there is a dark side to Kylie now, she still carries many aspects of her former self. Talia is driven to avenge Kylie’s death, and comes close to death in the process. I’m giving Destruction of an Innocent 3 tombstones. The writing was strong in many areas, but I found the plot lacking.

Sarah Hartwell is now the umma Shumani of a pack of wolves – Shumani who can take human form. She is responsible for keeping the pack united. Larak and Kam are Shumani she has come to love, and both care for her like no one has before. They saved her from Hunt, a renegade wolf whose heart is as black as the fur that covers his body. They are also trying to protect her from his son, Kar.

Kar is also a member of the pack. He realizes his future is in Sarah’s hands. As the umma Shumani, she can command him to leave, forcing him into being an outcast. Because he’d attacked her before, under orders from his father, he has no reason to believe Sarah will allow him to stay.

Sexual awareness heats up between Kar and Sarah. Both ignore their desires until a fight to the death uncovers their true feelings. Can the pack become one under the guidance of the umma Shumani, or will the past prove too difficult to overcome?

Sierra Dafoe delivers again. In Call of the Wild 2: The Wolf Queen, we are reunited with Larak and Kam. The sex scenes are hot, and they only get better when you add Kar into the mix. He’s moody, savage, and tormented: the perfect mix for a hero. Expect the unexpected when you read Dafoe; she takes naughty to a whole new level. I suggest reading Call of the Wild, the first in this series, before reading The Wolf Queen. It will explain a lot and make the journey with the characters a richer experience.

Sarah Hartwell leaves her fiancé to embark on an eight-month journey to the isolated area of northern Manitoba. Here she will study wolves in their natural habitat. On her first day, she finds a trapper standing over a badly injured wolf caught in a trap. She rescues the wolf and takes it back to her cabin, only to find out the wolf isn’t exactly what it seems.

Larak and Kam are Shumani – wolves who walk as men. Both males are taken with Sarah and want to mate with her as their custom demands. But they must ensure her safety from Hunt, a vicious wolf who will stop at nothing to remain pack leader. Even if they succeed, will Sarah accept their ways, or will she leave when she realizes what they expect of their female?

Call of the Wild started off with a touching heroine you can’t help but cheer for. She’s come to the conclusion that her fiance isn’t the man she once thought he was and she must face the heartbreak that accompanies a break-up. Fast-forward to the first sex scene. To me, it came out of nowhere. I was a bit thrown by the heroine’s decision to have sex with an absolute stranger, and even more perplexed when she accepts his way of communication without much surprise (I don’t want to give away too much here). That said, there are endearing scenes, and one hot menage toward the end that will leave you breathless.
