Prepare to be Seduced by a "bad boy" turned "warrior"

I see a fellow reader has done a phenomenal job at summarizing The Templar's Seduction by the super talented writer Mary Reed McCall, so I won't summarize. I know from reading that review she has enjoyed the book as much as I have. And I agree 100%  with the reviewer, Mary Reed McCall's lastest is alluring, thrilling and highly emotional. Well worth it.

I loved TTS totally and completely, my favorite thing about this book is how MRM "shows" us our hero, Alex de Ashby's journey from bad boy to warrior. From the fun "game of merels" scene to the highly sensual love scenes between the heroine, Beth and Alex, to the dialogue, description, to the end, MRM weaves a delightful story of redemption and love. We see Alex go from self-centered, "every man for himself" type to one who learns to love again, and most important, learns to give without expecting something in return.

 A crusader willing to sacrifice herself for others, Beth, our heroine, is a beautiful woman inside and out and is more than ready to defend her castle from calculating enemies. She's a woman who learns that trust and love makes her strong not weak.

I've read this book twice already and I know I will re-read it again down the road because I can't get enough of sexy, dangerous, charming Alex.

Whether you're already a fan of MRM's or this is your first book by this author, the final Templar Knights book, The Templar's Seduction will leave you emotionally satisfied and smiling.

Mary Reed McCall delivers an edge of your seat love story complete with characters you care for the moment they appear on the page.

Wow! Thank you Stephanie Rowe for letting me review "Darkness Awakened", the first book in this amazing new paranormal series. You created a wonderfully new and enthralling world of calydons. I must admit, I'm a bit in love with them all after seeing the group of warriors in the first book, but let's get to the characters of the first book .

Oh Quinn, complete warrior and protector, got dealt a blow when his trainees were taken out. He had only started to recover when he found one of his weapons missing as well as the thought that one of his good friends and fellow warriors may have been the cause of everything. He is determined to get to the bottom of the matter, one way or another, and find the truth.

What he doesn't expect is Grace, who just happens to be his Sheva. Her sister has gone missing and she has searched him out to help find her. Once he caught her scent, she drew him back. Grace is my kind of girl. She is loyal, has some spunk, and is all heart. Even though she is vulnerable and scared of what she may do if a illusion triggers, her sister is more important. Plus she has more backbone than she gives herself credit.

Quinn and Grace have an instant attraction, which had me swooning. Besides that, you have to love a story where they are determined destiny will not win and the struggle they go through to ensure it. I absolutely loved Quinn and Grace. He is a fierce warrior, but when it comes to his Sheva, the shameless, playful flirt comes out. They set the pages on fire with their passion for each other. I love a tender, possessive male, when it's directed at his Sheva, then pure warrior when it's down to the mission. When it comes to Quinn, Grace is able to feel like she isn't alone and finally accepted. I can't wait to see what Rowe has in store for us in the calydon world, but I'm already begging for more. The next book in the series is "Darkness Seduced". I, for one, am ready to be seduced. Are you?

I recieved a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Having given up hope of ever finding his lifemate in this life time and determined to end his existence with honor, Ancient Carpathian warrior Dominic has begun a suicidal quest to gain the information necessary to save his Prince and his people. Dominic has ingested vampire blood, knowing that the parasites which now infect his body will provide the camouflage needed to allow him to walk among the enemy in order to get the intel necessary to foil the vampires' foul plots. But even as the parasites attempt to seduce Dominick into taking the final step and becoming vampire himself, Dominick has begun to dream, and in his dreams he 'feels' hints of the emotions that he has lost. Emotions stirred by the unique woman of his dreams, a woman who shows a warrior face to the world but who shares her softer side with him.

Jaguar shifter, Solonge survived the annihilation of her family and friends perpetrated by the ruthless males of her species. Solonge now fights a guerilla war against the Jaguar men - stealing back captives and working to wipe their evil from the world. Unsurprisingly, Solonge's experiences with men in general are not good, and she is also distrustful of domineering Carpathian males - her cousin is mated to one of the Delacruz brothers. But in Solonge's dreams she has created the perfect man, sexy and strong to be a partner to her but one who will also allow her to be a woman in addition to a warrior.

Both of the pair are a bit surprised to find that the one who they've been dreaming of is real. That they are lifemates adds a level of complication because both have upcoming battles - Solonge against the evil leader of the Jaguar men who has dastardly plans for her, and Dominick against the vampires - battles which neither of them expected to survive. But now that they've found each other, dying for a noble cause no longer seems like a good plan, instead the pair will work and fight together in the hopes of having a long and loving future together.

I really really liked the first third of the book, I liked both Dominick and Solonge and I liked the fact that Dominick wants a partner to fight beside him and that he trusts Solonge's skills as a warrior. And I liked Solonge much more than I thought I would from her appearances in early stories - she ends being a good mix of strong and vulnerable. There are so many things about this paring which makes them actually feel like destined mates. And I liked the role that blood plays in the story - both have unusual things going on with their blood - and also the advantage of their special heritages - Jaguar and Dragonseeker - are key to the resolution of the story.

Whereas I loved the setup, once Dominick and Solonge find each other in the flesh they spend an awfully long time in Solonge's cave as Dominick slowly cultivates Solonge's trust and works to wins her love. And as much as I liked the idea that Dominick was willing to wait for Solonge's complete acceptance, I found myself impatient for Dominick's efforts to finally come to fruition.

But once Dominick and Solonge make it back out of the cave, the story ramps back up to speed and Dominick's strike at the vampires - with Solonge watching his back - and Solonge's final confrontation against the Jaquar leader - with Dominick returning the favor - finish the story on a high note.

Wrong Side of Hell by Juliana Stone is a teaser novella for her new League of Guardians series. If you are one of the readers who is duly teased by this link between Stone's Jaguar Warrior series and this one, don't worry, you won't have a long wait. The first League book, Wicked Road to Hell, will be released on April 24.

I was definitely teased. This was a terrific introduction to a new series!

Logan Winters is one of the baddest of all "bad boys". He's a hellhound. His job on Earth is to pick up souls marked for damnation, and escort them to their proper place in Hell. If Logan is sent to get you, you've earned yourself a spot in District 3. This means you were a very, very wicked person during your life.

Nothing about contract signing or selling yourself to the Devil. That's not Logan's end of the business. He handles pickup and delivery. If there is someone handling "sales", we don't see that part of the process. And this doesn't seem like that kind of worldbuilding.

The person we do see is Askelon, except he'd rather be called "Bill". He cloaks himself in glamour to appear as a short, round middle-aged man, but "Bill" is really one of the most powerful beings in any of the dimensions. And "Bill" bats for the opposite team from Logan's. I don't mean sexually, I mean metaphysically.

Logan is a hellhound. Askelon is a being of the heavenly dimension. And one pretty high in the hierarchy at that. Seraphim generally are.

Askelon blackmails Logan into doing him a very, very big favor. Which doesn't sound all that angelic. He demands that Logan go into purgatory and rescue the soul of a young woman that Logan already returned once from death.

The first time Logan rescued Kira Dove, he spent millenia in The Pit for his crime. (Time passes differently in the infernal dimensions). And he did it because Askelon blackmailed him then, too. Also because the Seraphim convinced him it was the right thing to do.

The same thing is happening again. Neither heaven nor hell should be interfering in one human's life this much. The Seraphim is convinced that too many fates depend on this one young woman's survival, and not just human fates either.

Logan tries to convince himself that none of that matters to him. He owes the Seraphim, so he'll take care of what he has to. But he still remembers that girl, after all those centuries in The Pit.

The difference is, Kira Dove is a woman now. When Logan Winters saved her the first time, she believed in him. She continued to believe in him, and everything she saw when she died that first time and Logan brought her back.

Even though everyone said she was crazy. And committed her for it. Experimented on her. Abused her. She still believed in what she saw, who she saw.

Kira Dove was dead again, but all she knew for certain was that everything she remembered was true. And Logan came to rescue her. Again. But this time, she could fight beside him.

But would he let her?

Escape Rating B+: As an introduction to a new series, this story really whetted my appetite for the first full-length novel. This particular story, although it seems like it resolved to an HEA, also feels like it sets up the series as a whole. I think there are a lot of trials and tribulations ahead for Kira and Logan, even as the focus of the series moves to other members of the League.

Kira reminds me a little of Sarah Connor from Terminator 2, at the beginning when Sarah is in the State Hospital. She has that vibe of "I know I'm not crazy and I have to keep myself strong for the day I'll need to fight my way out", but with a hint of vulnerability that Sarah didn't have or need.

This is intended as a bridge story between Stone's Jaguar Shifters series and this new series, as Logan appeared as a side-character in the earlier series. But if there are details that I missed, they didn't hamper my overall enjoyment of the story.

Title: DEATH'S SERVANT
Series: V.V. Inn #0.1
Category /Genre: Paranormal Romance
Recommended for: 18+ due to sexual content
Received from: Amazon purchase
Grammar/editing: B - a few small errors

For most readers to date, this has been a prequel, written well after they had already read several of the books in this series. For me, I had not read any, so this is book one to my mind. I was not lost. Each character is well-introduced. BTW: the introduction to Dria and Rafe is hawt, hawt, hawt!!

A year ago, college student, Jonathan Winchester, was bitten by a wolf and forced to believe that the things that go bump in the night are real. Romeo, alpha of the Manitoba pack, takes him in to train him, but it is soon evident that Jon is an alpha and will one day outgrow or challenge for the pack. Jon decides to leave after a tremendous argument with Romeo that shows no sign of resolution. He finds himself in Virginia, close to but unable to go home. He's surprised to chance upon another lone wolf, his waitress, Raine. When he discovers her secret and the danger she is in, he is determined to save the woman he believes could be his mate. His determination leads him to a pretty redheaded vampire, Dria, and her human husband, Rafe. Will saving Raine mean death for Jon?

If you are new to the series, as I am, I recommend this as a first read. Allow yourself to fall in love with Jon as I have! You have to admire any man who will place himself in danger or debt to claim the woman he wants.
How exciting to be at the beginning of a new series loved by so many! I'm looking forward to the next "prequel," Just One Taste; see that review, soon!

A battle-toughened SEAL with a thoughtful side charms the pretty girl with an assist from his war dog, despite the well-meaning tricks from his squad mates. A combination guaranteed to entertain action adventure readers as well as romance lovers. Ali, the beautiful veterinarian proves to be tougher than a SEAL and a perfect soul mate for SEAL Mike Saunders and his dog, Axe. You gotta read this. I'm hooked on the series. Hooyah.

Annwyl the Bloody is attacked by the men her brother, Lorcan, sent to kill her. Bitter enemies, he won't stop until she's dead. She makes her last stand, a cave at her back. Just as the lead soldier gets ready to deliver the death blow to Annywl, he looks past her, into the cave. The men all freeze, then start backing up. When she looks behind her, she understands why. A huge black dragon has emerged from the cave. He begins killing the men, and when she collapses, she knows she's dying.

Fearghus the Destroyer had seen how valiantly the mortal woman had fought. He brings her into the cave, treats her wounds, and sees to her care. She intrigues him, and he relishes the time he spends with her.

Annwyl grows to trust Fearghus. They discuss everything from politics to battle strategy, and family. He quickly becomes her dearest friend, and confidante. When her wounds have healed enough, he tells her he is bringing a mighty warrior to train her. The first time she sees him, she can't believe how big he is. He doesn't offer his name, but immediately begins helping her improve her skills. Never before has she been so aware of a man, or so attracted to him. She feels caught between her best friend, and the man she desires.

Fearghus is keeping a big secret from Annwyl. He fears what will happen when she finds out. His status as a warrior is unequaled. He cares deeply for her, and knows she's his mate. He also doesn't fear her strength and ferocity, but takes great pride in it.

The debut novel in the Dragon Kin series is great!!! I loved this book! Annwyl isn't your typical heroine, and is slightly flawed, but incredibly tough and real. Fearghus is the type of hero every woman dreams about. He doesn't fear her capabilities, and supports her at every turn...even when's she's in danger. This book is filled with action, suspense, and hot romance. A hands-down winner all around! Well done, Ms. Aiken! Very highly recommended!

P.S. 'Flames and Chains' is a novella which is also included. It is about Fearghus' parents, Rhiannon and Bercelak. This is another great read! Enjoy both tales.

"Hear this tale, the legend of Aiden the Fierce and Reginlet the Radiant One, a pair of lovers both bound and cursed by fate."

FINAL DECISION:  Filled with action, suspense and a dark story, this book takes the idea of Regin's true love returning and turns it upside down as he is reincarnated as a killer of immortals.  I loved the drama and angst this added to the story.

THE STORY:  A thousand years ago, Regin the Radiant, a Valkyrie, fell for Aiden the Fierce, a mortal warrior and berserker.  Right after Regin and Aiden made love, he was killed.  For a thousand years, Aiden has been reincarnated and cursed with dying as soon as he recalls the past.  Aiden has been reincarnated again as Declan Chase, a brutal soldier and member of the Order whose mission it is to capture, study and kill immortals.  Captured and tortured by Declan, Raiden is now thinking on how she can make him remember their past in order that he will die and help her and her friends escape.

OPINION:  The twist of having Regin's grand love return as an enemy gives this book an edge.  Declan is not merely an enemy in name only.  He tortures immortals -- including Regin.  He is broken and dark and irresistible.  I liked that the book explains but doesn't excuse Declan's behavior.  I especially liked the ultimate resolution of the drama of the series and the question of whether Declan would remember and thus die and continue the painful history that he and Regin share.

This book is action packed and filled with characters both old and new.  This book is most closely connected with DEMON FROM THE DARK which overlaps this book in content and in time.

WORTH MENTIONING:  Oh Lothaire, he's a really dark, bad and sexy dude.

CONNECTED BOOKS:  DREAMS OF A DARK WARRIOR is the eleventh book in the Immortals After Dark series.  It can be read a standalone but there is an overarching storyline in the series about the coming Accession, an epic battle between immortals.

STAR RATING:  I give this book 4.25 stars.

Despite the horrific cover - WTH is going on with all that greasy, sweaty hair hiding the hero's face???  He looks like a failed werewolf! This is a fabulous read.

What I liked: The hero!! This dude should be riding a steed, and wearing armor with a red cross, he's that noble. And not in a smarmy way. He's a blue-collar NY guy and he makes no apologies for that. Instead, he supports a household of women, and takes on the heroine's plight as well.

The sexual chemistry between Hero and Heroine is off the charts hot and sweet.

A hunky Omega Navy Seal, and an Alpha hacker/covert operator, are drawn together by circumstances.  Did I mention they are wolf shifters ?
Dylan is captured on a mission, and Blake creates a ruse of fake mates to help The SEAL out of the lock-up.  Dylan is a brown and copper wolf, where Blake is white/blonde with blue eyes.  Now they must show the compound they are mates, and work together on the investigation.  The first part is difficult for Dylan, but he is leery of the connection he feels toward Blake.  The story is interesting, the plot flowing smoothly, and interactions intense.  Deep characters, likable guys who are sexy and hot make this worthwhile.  Their first shower sex is strained, and I assumed Blake's Alpha kept Omega Dylan from resisting or fighting.  The result was sad.  Aside from that, they were a sizzling pair, lovingly caring, and emotional.  They slow down and get to be more comfortable, and the mission gets more active.  I liked these guys, the story, the writing, and the concept.
We are left with a stand alone tale, HFN, "happy for now" ending, which is quite hopeful.  I'll be trying more Noah Harris books.
ENJOY !!!

Favorite Lines If you only knew how long I've waited for someone like you to walk into my life.

Marrok, your mate is alive.

Well, s***, he finally muttered to himself. I hate being left out of the action. This must be what it feels like to be emasculated, and it's a damn s***ty feeling.

Fate can be a dirty bitch, though

He's just mad that I caught him naked in a tree, outside of the Amish settlement.

When I read book 1 in this series I just fell head over hills for Marrok and to have his story was FABULOUS!
Marrok is a warrior to the bone. He's amazing! When he meets his mate Taylor he was so happy and then he woke up and she was gone! No sign, no scent, no word. It breaks my heart!
31 years later 2 almost dead wolves tell them she's been alive this whole time and is being held. Marrok shows his true warrior spirit and reading about him in that moment was spectacular! Amazing!
Taylor was terrorized for 31 yrs but, she is such an amazing woman!  So strong! Most woman well anyone really would have crumbled but not her! She rose above it gloriously!
Rose Wynters does it again! She does it with style, class, and so much yumminess! I never get tired of reading her books they are amazing!

I was given his book by author in exchange for an honest review

Holy hot menag, people! Just when I thought this series couldn't get any steamier, I get proved wrong!

Sexy brooding MMA fighter - check
Fine as HELL construction worker - check
Beautiful, but sheltered best friend to both - check

If you think you know where this is headed, you would be wrong.

What happens when you have fantasies too taboo to admit, even to yourself? If the opportunity arises to act them out, would you take the chance? Even if it meant risking the most important things in your life?

I just recently started reading the Berserker series, and I am hooked! Ms. Savino has a way of pulling the reader into the story, and giving an in-depth look at what makes the characters tick.
Brenna has had a hard life, from being attacked and scarred by a wolf to being abused by her stepfather. The final straw is when he sells her to the two alphas of a Berserker clan. Daegan and Samuel are the two alphas of their clan. They buy Brenna, based on the advice of a witch, as a way to tame their beasts.
This story is suspenseful, heartwarming, heartbreaking, erotic, and romantic all-in-one. I highly recommend reading it.
