Seduced

Seducing the jackal by Seressia Glass

Blurb: Centuries ago, tragedy severed the alliance between the jackal shifters and powerful Egyptian priestesses. But when four of his brothers succumb to a deadly curse, clan commander Markus kidnaps one of the witches and insists she undo the evil magic.

Although Tia can undo the curse, she insists her coven is not behind it—and she is shaken to her core by her intense attraction to her captor. The sparks between them quickly ignite, filling them both with passion and power unlike anything they've ever known. Will it be enough to heal the rift between their peoples?

The good:

I found this to be a really solid read. The author is a good writer with a strong voice. Her characters are well thought out with understandable motivations. In other words, as readers we’re provided enough back story to understand the why the characters choose the decisions they do. I also liked that the story focused more on the relationship between the H/H and not so much on the mythology of ancient Egyptian deities. And Tia’s power, YASSS! I love the whole situation (You have to read it or visit my blog to figure out what I’m talking about).

I found a few problems, so I can’t use the term ‘bad’

A few minor grammatical errors

The story was a little predictable

I’m jus sayin: ****spoiler alert***

Sexual energy feeds her power ( How Awesome!)

The Space Between by Victoria H. Wilson

I sighed a lot during this book, these characters and their romance was so wonderfully written that I even cried at the end. No, thats a lie. I blubbered with snot and ugly face.

Drake is an Asian American adopted into a wealthy and influential caucasian family. Lacey is a bi-racial girl struggling to make ends meet while her stars are aligning.

Their paths cross and fireworks start, but they end in police sirens. Can two people from very different backgrounds come togehter in the space between?

Uhm, yes. And I enjoyed every word of it.

Have you ever fallen truly, madly, heels behind head in love with a character? I have several times. And Drake is now on my Hall Pass list. Damn he's sexy; deep voice, mahogany eyes, warm heart and a strong libido. I kinda want to be Lacey.

Fav line: "She took it like she wanted it. Like she owned it"
Errors:

Location. 2044  "..do you mind if I braid you hair?"

Location 3656 "Cooper came back and handled me a..."

Location. "Standing stark still, his mom didn't say a work."

Locatio 4853 "..it was hard to image that a small..."

My interpretation of Drake:

Juicer than expected!

Juicy by Pepper Pace

Good read, interesting characters that find an unlikely love. I didn't think I could stomach the hate words spewed by the heroine, but it was not very much and the characters develop quickly. As usual with Pace's work I learned something; how lack of human touch can effect people negatively. And, how often mental illness is misdiagnosed. Thank you again for showing and teaching your readers.

Can't wait for the next read!

Warrior come out and play

Warrior by Violet Dubrinsky

This is the fantasy love tale of Jaisyn head strong princess of Lytheria and stubborn Vulcan king of Morden.

The good:
So surprised how much I liked this book, though I'm obsessed with "Song for ice and fire" by George R.R. Martin, I just wasn't sure I would like another epic fantasy. So, so in love with this story; strong heroine, twists and turns, action and a good looking hero. Yes, please!

I'm jus sayin:
I'm so in love with V.D. right now. All of her books are good reads; well developed and interesting characters that can be both romantic and strong without making the story feel contrived . First Viktor, now Varian/Vulcan so in love with these manly men who have a sensitive heart and an adult imagination. 

V.D. Please, can I have another? And another two staring Varian, who I'm in lust with his controlled demeanor and of course one staring Malcolm. What about Malcolm, does he get over Jaisyn and find love? Please continue this series!

Have'nt read it yet? Buy it here

Please leave a comment, I would love to hear from you!!!

So good I want another!

Mark of Kane by Nadia Aidan

The black cobra is a worldclass theif going after the eye of boudicam Logan is a interpol inspector chasing after the black cobra. Nikita is a beautiful womanm classy and artistic planning a night out with her lover. Little do they know they Nikita's little secret will bring all of them together.

The good: A black female spy +  A tall good looking love interest= a great read! The plot is interesting, the characters do have a depth rarely seen in this genre and the authors voice is clearly heard.

I'm jus sayin: The opener is sooo good. Thank Mrs aidan for expanding the genre from smut to real interesting stories with new characters and plots. Thank you girl for making me wish I could wear a cat suit, thank you for a black female character who's good at her job, but doesn't carry a chip on her shoulder. Thank you for writing a man that not only I appreciate, but so does she. ( Can i get an amen? I mean aren't we all tired of reading about bw running from perfectly good looking and acting men, cause they been hurt before? Haven't we all? Yes! Including me, but when hubby showed up, I showed out! Gave him all my love and was granted his in return)

The bad: The book can be a bit slow at times, especially since the beginning is so fast and exciting.

This is a good riding on the train book or a good glass of Riesling before bed book; the kind of read that takes your mind away from waiting on your stop, but without being to heavy on the smut, which can't get uncomfortable to read in public.

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!

Antagonize me:

 Why I prefer the villain                            

Most people's favorite character in a book is the protagonist the good guy; mine is the antagonist the adversary of the hero. Yes, I love a good baddy; not to say that I'm evil or want the world annihilated, government thrown into chaos (cause the politicians do a great job of that themselves), or for them to marry/kill the girl; but, I do some key things about them................ 

 No restraint; wouldn't all of us love to let go? Really say and do what we want, "That color makes your skin look like oatmeal," or "No, you are not God's gift to women, you are God's gift to 1-800 numbers and dating services." Some of us actually say those things, but that "us" would never jump up on the "returns" counter at Target and start a riot would we? Yes, but only in our fantasies. The villain does just that, they cross the line, no matter where that line may be as long as they achieve their goal, it's worth it to them. 

They are having so much fun abandoning society's rules. While the good guy is straining to save the world the bad guy is having a blast blowing it to smithereens, I envy that a little. And, the more ruthless, despicable, & nasty they are, the more I can't wait for them to get their comeuppance. Hello, Joffrey Baratheon (from Song for Fire and Ice series) I'm talking to you! 

 I'm just sayin: Doesn't the protagonist get on your nerves even a little bit? They're so annoyingly "perfect" that I want to punch them in the face, Yeah that's right Sookie Stackhouse series with your free house, bikini sun bathing, every man I meet falls in love with me self. I'm working on my left jab just for you. Not that Sookie's life is perfect, but she never has to compromise and everything always works out for her in the end. And then there are characters like Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games Trilogy; a selfish, hot headed heoine who I completely hated. When marching to her death, Katniss tearfully says goodbye to her sister, but then turns to her mother; who she never forgives for sinking into depression after her father's death; and says, don't get depressed when I die. Ok, sure I won't be sad about the death of my oldest child. Total Bee-yotch! Did I want the capital to fall? Heh, sure. But, did I love it when Peeta choked her out? Yes, please! 

 I'm sayin so authors should listen:  I love the villain, they are often my favorite character, so I hate when someone takes a perfectly good baddy and castrates them. I recently read a book where the bad gal turned to a good gal towards the end of the book. Boo! How boring I don't want to feel sorry for the baddy, like Cersi Baratheon in a S.F.I. Who am I supposed to hate? Who will I yell at as I read? Whose death will I cheer? Stop! Keep them gloriously bad and let me love-hate them. Thankfully, Martin took the hint and Cersi is now back on top and should be madder and badder than ever in the next book!

Great villains:
