So good I needed a bottle of red and several pieces of Dark Chocolate.......

To me, when I can't read a book without a good glass of wine and a piece of chocolate, than I know its good.

This book starts off where book 1 ended (you don't NEED to read 50 shades of jungle fever, but the book is really good, so you should) and focuses on the aftermath of Tristan and Keisha's break-up. I really enjoyed delving deeper into the characters themselves; when they were in a relationship it was mostly about new experiences and learning one another. In this book we learn about the individual characters, allowing Ms. Lewis' writing to shine and giving readers is a roller coaster ride of emotions.

The good:
Tristan is A-ma-ZING! OMG. He is an alpha personality with a
big heart full of love and passion, Keisha is one lucky girl.

Keisha, is still genuine, smart and sassy with just enough refinement. Perfect.

Favorite scene:
The ending on the private jet. I've read it over and over; its just so sexy!

Favorite character:
The fairies- I agreed with all of their antics and enjoyed reading them.

The bad:
I want more. Always more.

He's so my type....

He's so shy by Lena Matthews

Gillian and Lennon are co-workers. She mistakes him for being shy and decides to make him her project. He plays along. This is a good dirty book! I love the character, both the hero and heroine are well thought out with their motivations clearly made at the beginning of the story. Gillian likes the 'white guy' but won't admit it, so she takes him out for drinks and finds out that he's not shy at all. I admit my favorite character is her friend, she could by my wing-women any time. The big reveal in this book involves a party at a friends house, No I would NEVER participate in that kind of party. But the freak in me enjoyed reading about it. I also loved that the shero of this book was not afraid to find her love; I'm over women who run away from a good man. i would love to read more from this series.

There were a few errors:

Location 343 "And blind as a bat is she thought he could possible find any.....---> should be "possibly"

Location 1273 "Every since their little office escapade..." --> "Ever since"

The error at location 1373 is too adult to quote, but the wrong word is used, should be "fingering"

My new favorite word and  Favorite line of the book, Location 1226 "a fast convert to the religion of assianity"- Yeah, I will be using this to describe C-mac cause I converted him personally!

Misses and some cursing..

I enjoy reading Ms. Brown's stories, they usually contain non-traditional AA heroine's falling in love with a-typical heroes. In the books i've reade their situations tend to be fantastical and challenge convention. In Kisses and Curses we meet jewelry designer Vivienne West who cashes in a small inheritence in NY to work a mining stake in Neveda. There she hires a minor to help her. Ezekiel  Proctor, is an ex-confederate soldier with a dark secret.

The romance moves fast with both character physically attracted to one another, but then it kind of falls apart for me. I found the 'love' scenes to be flat, their is an abundance of sex, but it's not well described enough for me to get hot and bothered.

Overall, it was just okay.

There were only a few errors:
Location 1968- "six dozen or so people industry people milled about

2 tails many twitches of my heart by R.E. Butler

A Twitch of Tail by R.E. Butler

This is the story of one witch, Tera, and two weretiger brothers Melo and Tahlon who live in Ohio.  

Normally novella's leave me wanting more, particuarly when the characters are compelling (or hot). Often times the stories seem incomplete or rushed, leaving me with more questions than answers, but I have found a few good novellas, so I give praise when it's due. 

I have to say that overall I enjoyed this novella, the characters were well thought out and the romance was easy to enjoy and the story felt complete. I enjoyed the fact that our heroine didn't run from love and that she had strength and character of her own without needing the men to define her. I also liked that she had previous menage experience, though it didn't go well the first go around, she tried again realizing that her men would treat her like a goddess and not a toy. Oftentimes the female of a menage gets treated as an object by the author, but this is not the case int twitch.

My only gripe is a minor one; I live in Ohio and am familiar with the Cleveland area and I want to know how you write a story about Cle-town with no African-American characters? This is a little offensive. R.E. Butler include some characters of color in your next story please. I'm avaliable if you need inspiration for a intelligent, sassy, full-figured woman of color who enjoys hot men and a good read with a little adventure on the side.

Book Boyfriend of March

Avery from Dark Genesis by A.D. Koboah

Gentile and sweet, Avery is vampire that feels and cares. He's loyal and honest. but, this dude is no pushover, he's a vampire with an intense heart and I Luv him.

Here is my best guess at what Avery would look like if he were real ( Ian Sommerhalder or Sommerholder. The dude from The Vampire Diaries ) and I weren't endlessly in love with my husband.

If you like what you read please hit the follow button. Thanks!

Favorite new author!

Dark genesis by A.D. Koboah

This book is awesome! No really, it's so good that I laughed and cried and now I demand another. The characters rich story fully comes alive on the pages, you see and live with Luna, you fall in love with Avery and by the end you want nothing more than to hold him in your arms and keep him safe. The best way I can describe this is, if "Interview with a vampire" was the grandfather of "Vampire Diaries" and that book had a baby with "Wench" than you would get "dark genesis"

This is the story of an oppressed slave, Luna. She is a woman weighed down by the attention of her master and his son. Seeking solace in a burned chapel she pours her soul out over a stolen bible that she can't even read. Avery, tied to the chapel by his guilt hears her plea and decides to do something about it. Here our story begins...

There are some minor issues:

The epilogue is a tad confusing and I almost stopped there; it was a string of contradictions; relatives having good luck; they were millionaires, but dying tragically. Not lucky in my opinion. And, I didn't care for Dallas and her flippant attitude toward being rich and having a second sight. I hate people who complain about being rich. And people who ignore their instincts.

Dialect is a twofold problem:

1. The author is british and many of the words are spelled in the UK manner. I.e. 'realised' rather than 'realized' and meters are used instead of miles.

2. Luna speaks in a dialect. This can get old fast; though, I moved past this annoyance easily some of you may not.

Grammatical issues:

Location 918 "her face a mask of unalderated hated...." Should be 'hatred' or 'hate'

Location 3390 "..had succeeding in bringing it to its place" should be 'succeeded'

Overall:

I want my own Avery and I will be writing this author and demanding that she finish and publish the next installment in this series. C-mac has already got baby blue's, do you think he'll wear a long haired wig and let me call him 'Avery?'

UPDATE!! Hubby scoffed when I asked him to put on a wig, in fact he was so outraged that I have been relegated to having to be "nice." Foot rubs, scalp massages, and waking up earlier than normal to make him breakfast and coffee. Boo! Toe jam sux.

No energy

"Naughty Nooners: peak energy" by Afton Locke 

I liked the idea of a short erotic read and found this Elloras Cave book available free on my Kindle, so I downloaded it and commenced to reading.

Ouch, this is bad. There is no goal in this book. A scientist is looking for a way to harnass sexual energy. The sandwich delivery girl wants to 'do him' so he convinces her to be a guinea pig for his experiment.

The only good thing about this book is that the male lead is very dextarious, otherwise its a confusing bore. Skip it.

Wisteria

I found the story line to be very interesting; at first I was like, "young adult, interracial romance, Zombies and aliens, really?" then I thought about it and decided, "hhhmmpph, why not" So on I read.

The Good:
I found that their were a lot of ideas in this book and many of them were good, my only problem was with execution. 

The Bad"
Literally, my kindle is full of notes and highlights questioning the author. For example, I'm from Ohio and have never visited England, what is the isle of Smythe like? What is the terrain? Logos, I've never heard of, I also had to look that up, because the author never explained anything about there either. There is no chemistry between Wisteria and Bach with the exception of one two scenes when they are alone in the tower and clock, otherwise their relationship is awkward with forced drama instead of real emotion. I don't understand the kind of abuse Wisteria takes from the kids and adults' calling a person a "bonobos" (another term I had to look up) is the imaginary "do not cross this line" for me; yet, Wisteria is called one several times and never defends herself, I'm left thinking that she's infuriatingly weak and maybe believes herself to be a "bonobos." Then their were the awkward sentences/dialogue and the reiteration. I have to be honest, this is my biggest pet peeve from independent authors, EDITING. Good editing would have caught the reiteration of mundane ideas and suggested the reinforcement of big ideas and concepts, like the FAMILY. I know nothing about this alien race, because the author didn't tell me very much.

Overall: skip it

I'm jus saying: I really dug the cover and the book was free, so I read it

Check it out!

Taken by a great read...

Taken by Moonlight by Violette Dubrinsky

Werewolf Conall Athelwulf is the leader of the largest pack in New York, a trusted leader and Uncle, Conall meets and falls in love with Vivienne Bordeux, a young human he falls upon in the woods. Vivianne, a sweet natured good girl is immediately drawn to the commanding man she meets first in the woods, then on the dance floor. Their love ignites their passion and a dormant ability within Vivianne; when others threaten his claim on his new found love, Conall is determined to keep her safe, even if Vivienne may be key to the salvation of an entire race and the ultimate end of his own.



The Good:
I really love a well thought out story and this is one; witch's, warlocks, demigods, were's, and druids this book has them all. I loved that each race has an origin explained without being to scientific; I love that there are so many great characters available for me to read. I love the story; Vivienne and Conall make me melt when I think of their love, but there is more, the supporting cast is also well written and just as interesting as the main characters without overloading my poor excited brain! I cannot wait for sequel!


The Bad:
That this book ended and Drew and Max are still not together.

I'm just sayin:
I can't wait until the next book! Seriously, hurry up; but not too much cause I NEED the same quality of story as this book!

B.B.F.M Book boyfriend of September...................

Trent Kalamack of The Hollows series by Kim Harrison








In case you've never read the hollows series, here's a short synopsis: The Hollow's are the fictional neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio in the series that all the "other" type of people live; werewolves, witches, and vampires. Trent though, lives on an estate in a human suburb and is a wealthy businessman/thug and savvy entrepreneur ( Which is what my cousin pookie who sells "stuff" on the corner calls himself).was the only child of wealthy parents and philanthropist; with a dark side. Handsome, tall, athletic, powerful and intelligent Trent is almost the perfect package for the following reasons:    

Dark side: Ruthless and driven which is a good thing when it comes to business, but a bad thing when he has a scientist working for him killed for refusing to create stronger illegal drugs. Harsh right? But in Trent's mind necessary cause said drugs help the sick heal faster.

Honorable: Kind of, he does make arrangements for said scientists ill daughter to have a scholarship and trust fund. He also has several foundations for orphans, & helps the protagonist of the series several times. He also bashes her head against a gravestone, but she made him her slave(in name only), so she kind of deserved it. 

This picture and the one above are of Rupert Friend, but he is my interpretation of what Kim Harrison's character would look like if her were a real person (With blonder hair, of course)

Wicked sense of humor: Turned heroine into a mink; kept her in a hamster cage complete with wheel and water bottle. 

I'm just sayin: Sarcastic, intelligent and a little something other ( I'm not telling, it's a series secret) mixed into a sinful package that will challenge, protect, and honor me? Yes, Please!

Book Boyfriend of August: Conall Viga-Feilan

Conall Viga-Feilan

So, I fall in love with book characters all the time and I thought I should give them some love on my blog. This month my book boyfriend is Conall Viga-Feilan of "The Magnus Pack"series, but featured as the main character in the book "Go Fetch" by Shelly Laurenston. Viking, shape shifting wolf, and abnormally large blonde Conall is more than just character candy, he's intelligent, loyal, and grateful for his good fortune. Even, when he's "blessed" by falling in love with a mean woman who does her very best to avoid how vulnerable falling in love will make her. Miki Kendrik, the vertically challenged hacker genius (178 IQ), bartender, and outspoken friend even goes beyond the duck and dodge of the inevitable, she actually drugs the poor man to unconsciousness, and that's after she tries to get him arrested, twice! But, Conall takes it all in stride, loving her intelligence and fierce protectiveness with the same vigor that he has for her big beautifully round ass and gorgeous lips.  

              

This is a picture of ClayMattews, he is my interpretation

of what Shelly Laurenston's character

would look like.

Best Line: "Well, so you don't get too cocky, I myself often complete the TV Guide crossword puzzle"...."In pen"



Appearances: "Pack Challenge", "Go Fetch", and "Here Kitty, Kitty"By Shelly Laurenston

Description: This one blonde.....He was as big as a house..Like a blonde polar bear. All muscles and strength. Thor, God of Thunder- from "Pack Challenge" By Shelly Laurenston


B.B. Runner up: David Beckham. Yes, he's a book character! If you consider all the non-fiction that has been written about him as a character; then, yes he's a character. Just shut up about him being real and married, what's up vicki, smile some time this year please cause I'm married to and would probably drool and stutter if I actually met him in real life. I would also have to stop a fistfight between him and C-Macdaddy, cause not only is he my side piece, but hubby is a diehard Chelsea fan and Beck's is the enemy. However, D.B. is delicious and my honarary (IT IS TO AN HONOR!) boyfriend of the month.


Thanks- M.
