The title of this book is Rocked by Barbara Elsborg. At first, I was curious as to the meaning and that the title might not fit, but I kept on reading. And as I finished the book, I realized that this was the perfect title because that’s what I was. It is also a play on words. This is a very – and I do mean very – erotic story. Barbara is ingenious in how she has written this. I was confused at with the structure of the story, but as I continued to read, it opened up like a flower in the sun. The main characters are introduced separately so you get to know them at different times. When each are faced with what seems to be impossible they have to overcome their fears and figure out the best way to solve the problem that affects them all. (more…)

This was an incredible, eye-opening read for me. At the beginning, I thought I had taken on a book way out of my normal reading spectrum ( I did!), but this was a pleasant surprise.

I was truly shocked by the depth of emotion that overcame me. Each story/poem was either a enlightening, what-if-that-really-happened story or a tearful poem. (more…)

Jace’s new boss, the vampire David Cassius, explains that she was brought there to aid in the capture of a deranged serial killer.
