Tiffany Allee ROCKS the paranormal romance genre. This. Is. A. Fact. If you're familiar with her Otherworlder Enforcement Agency series, youll be intrigued by her stand-alone title, Temptation by Fire. I still think there could be a series herehint, hint. Youll know why when you pick up this book and cant put it down. I was totally wrapped up in this new alternate world featuring a band of tattooed demon hunter bad boys, humans who can serve as demon detectors, and plot twists that keep you on the edge-of-your-seat. Oh, did I mention the very HOT romance between Ava and Karson? They definitely set some flames to the virtual pages of my Kindle. Im still hoping for a sequel as there seem like there could, should be other stories to be told. But until then, if you're looking for an intriguingly different, suspenseful, and HOT paranormal read this summer, pick up Tiffany Allees Temptation by Fire.

Such a Fun read! Don't miss out on this book! It is a great fit in the paranormal urban/ romance genre. What more could anyone ask for with a badass lead heroine and a love triangle to boot! I know these ideas are clich, but they still work. Specially when the author puts their own spin on things. Something Chosen  is a great book to sink your teeth into and I will be looking forward to the rest of the Shadow Vampire Series!

Oh My! I love a good paranormal romance, and this book, like the two previous ones in this series, was a home run! Its not often that we get a dragon series but we are in luck because Lani Lynn Vale gives it to us. I love how she makes dragon riders and seeing dragons as an every day thing. This story focuses on Wink who is a housekeeper by day and a photographer by night. She works for one man at this mansion of a house. It's not until she comes home one night to see her neighbor dead in the hallway with a man standing over her that she truly understands what is lurking in the shadows of her life. Ian is a dragon rider, but has always felt like an outsider. He is an orphan who works for the King of the Dragon Riders. He found his mate a few years ago and in order to be near her and protect her, he has her working as his house keeper. Ian and Wink are such perfectly flawed characters that you can't help fall for them and root for them to find each other and a happily ever after.
This is an amazing story that I just loved filled with romance, suspense, and dragons!

The craziness continues. I love this paranormal series. The characters are interesting, funny and deadly serious. The plot of the second book involves the missing skull of a dead warlock, Eleazar. Eleazar is very powerful, even though he no longer exists on earth, he can still make his presence known. He is also the father of Duncans best friend Gina the witch. When animals start attacking people, Duncan finds himself on the case to find Ginas fathers skull, stop the vicious killings by animal attacks, protect a boy from his cat, and keep his one true love Robbie from crossing over. Yes there is a lot going on, and I loved every page of it. There is still this amazing chemistry between Robbie and Duncan, but Robbie feels that he is holding Duncan back from starting a new relationship with someone that is alive. This story is exciting with all the mystery and suspense. There is a powerful ending with a special thank you from Eleazar. These characters blend so well together and the more I get to know them, the more I like them.

A book after my own heart! I freaking ADORED the fact that our heroine, Julie, is not only curvy, but a book nerd like myself. It made me absolutely giddy to read this story. Add the fact that this was a paranormal romance and I was in LOVE. Julie and Mark are phenomenal together! Their chemistry sizzled and the plot had me anxiously turning page after page. Add a bit of danger and a lot of hot romance and this story was a winner.

Kathy Lyons did an amazing job with License To Shift. I like her writing, I loved her characters, and the story..delightful! I am looking very much forward to the next one.

License To Shift gets a FEISTY FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

This book The Forever Girl is a wonderful paranormal romance and I was really quite surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Its about a Wicca practitioner (Sophia) how struggles with life in general and is desperate to find some answers. Overall, what I really appreciated with this book, was the fact that it steered away from any stereotypes and the author really made it unique. Great storyline, tight plot, loveable and round characters, as well as lots of suspense and intrigue. Most definitely worth a read!

Melina Rosenthal has been assigned the task of fixing up the image of a sexy, public figure whos all playboy, all the time and no one or anything is going to get in her way not even Hayden Dean being a werewolf in this captivating paranormal romance. Its not a problem if you haven't read any of the Seattle Wolf Pack series but if you have, then you are familiar with Kristins werewolf world, this is just a new city with a new alpha, their own conflicts and lots more intriguing characters to fall for. I was completely enthralled by Melina and Hayden from the very beginning and I cant wait to visit the San Francisco Wolf Pack again.

Susan Mac Nicol has once again produced another stonking hot and suspenseful paranormal read, laced with humour and action! Double Alchemy: Climax continues the tale of the uber- sexy warlock Quinn and his passionate Water Sprite lover Cade, who grapple with those who threaten their lives and love.

Quinn and Cade are by far one of my favourite romantic couples this year! Their love is SO tangible throughout the narrative. There is never any doubt that they are soul mates and in this instalment they reach a deeper emotional understanding than ever before, their love eclipsing the the danger and obstacles that are put in their way. The lovemaking scenes between them are SMOKING HOT and inventive and sometimes tender. There is also a great deal of humorous repartee between the couple as there is between many of the characters, which I enjoyed immensely.

Quinn in particular has many trials in this book, some of them truly heartbreaking as his emotions are tested to the limit. He does battle with inner demons from his past as well as present day enemies. Cade grows in confidence as he embraces his Sprite side, a side which Quinn needs to give him free reign to explore, despite any misgivings he may have.

There is a great supporting cast of characters, first and foremost of which is Taliesin, Quinns Withinner, the ancient sorcerer who shares his body. Taliesin has a number of key scenes and I loved the interplay between him and Quinn. We also find out more about Daniel, Quinns uncle, and of course Valensia, Quinns ex-lover, Queen of the Witches, who adds a great deal of tension, humour and drama to the plot.

There are a number of interweaving plot lines in this book  the evil Book of Shadows, which guards a dangerous secret, the continuation of the plot to find and destroy the Witchfinder General, the character from the previous book, and the actions of Valensia. There are also challenges to Quinns role and power as the Grand Master and threats to Cade. The HEA in the book ties up many loose ends, but I feel also leaves the way open if the author wants to revisit the world of Quinn and Cade and the other characters whose stories could be told.

I wholeheartedly recommend Double Alchemy: Climax to readers of the paranormal. Readers will gain more enjoyment from this super novel if they read Double Alchemy, the previous book, beforehand. This book was given to me for the purpose of a fair and honest review.

Let me first start by saying I am not generally a reader of paranormal romance.  That being said, L. Valente is a must read author for me, and when I discovered she teamed up with S. King (a new author to me) to give us this first release in their new paranormal romance series, there was no way I was going to pass it up.  And Shazam!  Am I glad I took a chance!  This collaboration gave us an erotically steamy, hot and oh-so-sexy romance intertwined with mystical elements as well as mystery that was completely captivating and had my attention page after page.  It left me utterly spellbound right to the very end.  You can immediately feel the powerful, magical connection shared between Aster, Finn, Rake and Damon from the moment they meet.  I am left hanging at the turn of the final page and now anxiously await the conclusion to find out what happens with these intriguing characters.  Night Magic is a powerful paranormal mystery romance that set my iPad aflame as well as my libido, and I am certain it will do the same for any reader.  To L. Valente and S. King WOW LADIES.  JUST WOW!!

This was my first read by Heather R. Blair, but it won't be my last. Smoke in Moonlight is the first novel in the Celtic Elementals series. This is an adult paranormal romance with a wide expanse of creatures. Werewolves, vampires, mythological gods/goddesses, changelings, and demons all make an appearance.

Lacey, an American, travels to Ireland in hopes of writing her first novel. Although I don't think she ever got to write a word. Her plans get derailed the moment she arrives. Aine, a goddess, has other uses for her which requires her first to meet Ronan. Ronan is moody and violent and sexy. So... basically... your archetypal paranormal hero. Oh... and he's a werewolf. I thought Lacey and Ronan together were great. And I loved Aidan's character (Ronan's BFF) too. Actually, I didn't dislike any of the characters. Well, you know, aside from the obvious ones (insert demonic sadistic villain, Aillen, here).

There were some formatting and spelling/grammatical errors (especially front-loaded in the novel), and I wasn't sure what to expect. As I've had this novel downloaded to my Kindle for a while, I am not aware if they've been corrected since my publication or not. But as I kept reading, I found the errors didn't detract from the story for me. The writing was exceptional, and I look forward to the rest of the series.

This was a very unique paranormal romance that is full of passion, mystery and action. Nicole and her sisters have unique abilities that they have kept to themselves. Nicole has the ability to manipulate wind. They practice these abilities by stalking neighborhoods and intervening to stop crimes. A demon named Gunner spots them in action and follows Nicole out of curiosity. Eventually, with Gunner's help, Nicole finds out that she and her sisters are not human at all but Solsti. And, so begins the journey to discovering the reason why they exist while at the same time battling demons.
As the story unfolds Nicole eventually goes with Gunner to the demon world in an effort to find answers. While in the demon world we are introduced some very interesting characters. The Nymphs were quite entertaining! Gunner and Nicole develop a strong passion for one another. If you're looking for a book that provides plenty of steamy time then you will like this one for sure. They had some trouble keeping their hands off of each other. (wink wink)
There are plenty of paranormal romances out there but if you are looking for something different this is a good one to choose... especially if you are tired of the vampire theme. This is also book one of a series so there will be more to come!
Oh, and I love the new cover! Great job on that... :)

Watch out! HP Mallory has come gins ablaze in the UF scene.  To Kill a Warlock has all the great elements of Urban Fantasy with a touch of something extra.  Humor, sexiness, danger and mystique.

Dulcie is a Fairy who works as a Regulator.  She is police to all the otherworldly creatures from the Netherworld.  As you can imagine the job is no walk along the beach when some warlock can cast nasty spells on you.  But Dulcie has her own magic and smarts to get her through a days work.

What I loved most:
The plot was fast paced and kept me on my toes.  Who's the bad guy? What will happen next are some of the questions going through my mind as I read on.
World setting was easy to grasp.  The Netherworld is like a parallel dimension or as as it was explained in the novel-another layer.  It's quite fascinating to think that some other world is living a while other kind of day at the same time that I am living it to.
The characters were an adventure in themselves.  Dulcie is quite a gal.  Her scrupulous nature has her working hard on the current case even though it means making favors and visits she would rather do when hell freezes.  Dulcie is even more so of interest to me because she is looking for more out of life.  She is an aspiring author and a tough as hell Regulator.  It's great to read a character who is still in the process of becoming what they want rather then at the end of it.
Romance Interest.  Yes, I must say something on the matter of romance.  To Kill a Warlock is an Urban novel so the romance is not of high priority.  But I will say that there is some man candy for me to drool over.  In fact, a trifecta of hunkiness: Quillian (the boss), Knight (Netherworld agent), and Bram (the club owning vampire).  How is a gal to choose? Oh, the dilemma of it all. mwahahaha.

What I was least fond of but added the UF grit to the novel:
Dagan and his house of horrors.  I don't like to read about S&M stuff but HP did a wonderful job of keeping the pages significant to the plot.  Even though there were a couple of trips to the club everything written is relevant to the storyline as well as the effect of the amount of danger involved with having a Netherworld creature loose on Earth.

Looking forward to:
I am looking forward to Dulcie.  I can easily see how subsequent novels will be full of her choices.  As I mentioned above she is still in the process of becoming who she wants to be.  As a reader I want to dive in there with her and she were it all goes. Plus, I am dying to read who she will be dating. hehehehe.  Oh, the ending was interesting.  I am certainly looking forward to her new puppy and what happens to its gifter *no spoilers*

All in all, purely entertaining read.  Dulcie knows how to run the show and does one hell of a job of it.

Maureen L. Bonatch casts a spell on readers with this fun and feisty paranormal romance. Carman is the type of heroine I always want to meet because I just know we'd be great friends. I mean seriously she's a kick butt librarian with magical skills and a wardrobe I can only aspire to. Even while keeping her true nature a secret she remains fairly true to herself and that is definitely admirable when you think about the consequences. I love her concern for her friends and her animated nature. Dylan is a complex man and while I automatically wanted to distrust him because of his job, yet after witnessing his interaction with his mother I think I would have felt sympathetic towards him no matter what. I loved the world the author built with this story, the background and the situation are so amazing that I found myself deeply wondering how life would be affected if these events had actually occurred. The characters in this story be they good or bad, magic blood or human all entertained me to the extreme. I loved the flow and feel of this story and if you are looking for a different read this one is a great choice.

Things have never been normal for this librarian. Witch in hiding Carman, might just finally be out of aliases and hiding places even if it means answering to sexy magic bounty hunter Dylan because when she has a friend in need she might have to risk it and reveal her magical abilities. But will she risk her heart as well?

Wow, Tiffany has knocked it out the park yet again.  Once I started the first few pages I literally couldn't put it down. This is a great, complex novel. I enjoyed the backstory between Patience and Aaron and their chemistry was undeniable throughout the whole book. Aaron is the ultimate, hot Alpha male. The loves scenes were so damn steamy. I think this is probably one of my top favorite IR novels.

I originally bought this book at the end of December 2011 and read it in a couple of days (well it was Christmas/New Year) and I loved it.

I love Mandy's books and have read A LOT of them over the last few years, the majority of which are short stories. This is a full length novel. Set in our world, in our time, it is an action packed cross between paranormal romance and urban fantasy where humans are protected from the things which hide in the shadows and prey on them by The Guardians. A team of paranormal beings of various sorts who fight the bad guys and try to keep humanity safe.

This is the story of the only female Guardian there has ever been, Madelyn Mason, a student by day and a killer of evil by night, and her best friend, Hollywood heartthrob Brady Devens. They have been best friends for years and house-mates for the last two, but they are both hiding secrets from each other, some of them whoppers. All of the characters are hiding things from each other and their secrets emerge as the story unfolds.

Brady loves Mads, and has known since she was 6 years old that she is his mate (not in a creepy way. You'll see as you read). He took up acting, a profession which makes him extremely uncomfortable, because her 'parents' own a production company, just to be near her until she is ready to see him in a romantic light. Madelyn has a big weekness, she can't sense shifters, but she can sense danger, so she has no idea that Brady is a wolf. Yet. They are both strong characters and suit each other well.

This is a great book, which follows a short period in the lives of the characters and leaves you looking for book 2. Sadly there isn't one. Although this book doesn't end on a cliffhanger, it does leave an opening for the next book, if there is going to be one. As is typical of Mandy's books, it is well written with laugh out loud humour, (I love Feddie), some ups and some downs and, as always, a HEA. She has a real talent for packing a lot of information into her books, no matter how long or short. To give more details would provide too many spoilers. For those who enjoy a good, steamy, action packed paranormal love story with a little mystery thrown in, this is definitely a book you should read.

I loved it...again, and most likely again..and again. It really is that good.

Afterglow by Cherry Adair
Paranormal Romance -March 20th, 2012
4 stars

Afterglow is a hot contemporary romance with lots of excitement and betrayal and a touch of magic!  It is the second in her Lodestone adventure series.

Afterglow features strong characters and sizzling hot chemistry!  The tension between the main characters is off the charts as the hero begins the book feeling the heroine has betrayed him.  When Rand Maguire's security at a high profile wedding is infiltrated and the guests are drugged by an extreme sexual aphrodisiac, he sends for help only to find his ex lover and betrayer Dr. Dakota North sent to help him.  Rand believes that Dakota is responsible for the death of his mother.  Distrustful but still half in love with her, he fights his attraction and reminds himself of her duplicitous nature.

When Dakota is assigned to aid a call from help by her former boyfriend Rand, she is hesitant but knows she is the only one with knowledge to help him.  She feels responsible, for she was crucial in the making of the drug which was used to poison the guests at the wedding.  But working with Rand is difficult.  Not only did he not believe in her innocence but he broke her heart. And worse of all, she isn't over him.  Can they find out the truth and reconcile their differences?

This was a tension filled romance as Rand is very antagonistic toward Dakota in the beginning of the story.  Though he has strong reason not to trust her, I kept thinking that that Rand's hostility towards Dakota dragged on longer than necessary. I feel he should have trusted Dakota sooner because I really enjoyed them working together more as a team.  Dakota is a courageous character.  She still harbors deep feelings for Rand and is very hurt at his lack of trust, but still works to help him and not take his anger too much to heart.  As they try to pool their resources and track down the mastermind behind the drugging, they survive many adventures.  I was particularly fascinated by Dakota's secret abilities to act as a human GPS and track the villain.  I kept hoping the author had explored/used more or her paranormal abilities in the story.  The ending was shocking and readers will not be disappointed.

Fast-paced and exciting, this high octane romance is what readers of Cherry Adair have come to know.
