The way the story is written is superb. The intensity of the hero is very gripping. He just absorbs your attention totally.

She did it again. How the stories can be the same and so different is beyond me. I am so glad that Lynsay has not gone to ghost writers like so many good writers have done so they can produce more books. I will continue to buy your books until the quality comes down.
Again thank you for your time and effort to entertain the masses!

Blue Diablo, introduces a great new Urban Fantasy series with heroine Corine Soloman, a touch psychic whose gift carries a painful price, and her ex ,Chance, whose gift of luck has the unfortunate side effect of diverting harm from him to those around him.  After the near fatal consequences of his luck, Corine left Chance behind and fled to Mexico. But now Chance has found her and he needs Corine's help - his mother is missing and it will take Corine's skill and more than just a little of Chance's luck to handle magical enemies and the hurt and unfinished personal business between them.

 I loved Blue Diablo and both Corrine, with her bohemian flair, and Chance who was extremely likable as the man whose gift gives him such power but who doesn't exploit it for his own gain. I also really like the diverse and interesting crew that they gather together, along with a few surprising allies that they pick up along the way, while they are searching for the kidnapped mother who turns out to have secrets of her own.

Blue Diablo was action packed, with magical adversaries, and spiced with some Tex-Mex flair. Add in the attraction and history between the leads and this was oh so good. Authors Briggs and Caine have their endorsements on the front cover, and I think if you like these authors you'd like this one too (even though there isn't the supernatural element of weres, vamps and djinn)  Can't wait for the next one.

I've been a Janiva Magness fan for years but I wasn't as happy with her Alligator Records' releases as I had been with her earlier work.  Well, she's back to form here.  Listen to the previews and I'll tell you the full songs are even better.  Buy it, put it on repeat and enjoy.

I am truly in awe how Deanna Chase can come up with more surprises while keeping the storyline going, not skipping a beat. With each book, I find myself feeling happy I found the first book.  Even though there are angels and white witches in this series, it remains a normal story which is the charm of the series.

I finished reading The Rancher's Virgin Acquisition and I truly enjoyed it. I felt that I was there with the hero and heroine, It was funny, I laughed so much, if I laugh because of a book I know that it will be good. I am big fan of Lynda Chance and I would say she has another it on her hand. Cant wait for the other books to come. Excellent job done Lynda.

This installment in the Lynley series didn't have Lynley in it, but was still a really great read.  Barbara Havers did not disappoint, however; it was a bit like having toast without jam, having Havers without Lynley.  They need to have each other in order to provide that back and forth repartee that makes them so good.

The Reaper's MC are back and riding strong. Joanna Wylde has just released the eighth story/ novella, Rome's Chance, in the Reaper's MC series.

Randi Whitaker is back in town for her high school reunion and to see her family. She knows things have been tough for her younger siblings and mother but didn't realize just how bad they had gotten. She left town eight years ago because the wild fires forced her to evacuate and start life over in a new town. She wasn't expecting to run into Rome McGuire, a guy she had only dated once before she was forced to leave town. He was the one guy who inspired her to try the wild side of life on the back of his bike. Rome isn't the kind of guy she needs in her life now. He's a member of the Reaper's MC. It doesn't matter that he has a good job, owns his home, and has a stable life. She's in town to help her family and that should be all that matters.

Rome is thrilled when he runs into Randi Whitaker. The sweet girl he remembers has grown into a beautiful woman. He is determined to get to know her once again. His life has changed and he's ready to look for something more permanent. His brothers are all settling down, getting married, and starting families. He's ready for the same thing and now that Randi is back in town, he's taking his chance.

How can a girl resist a Reaper? Rome is determined to get his girl... maybe this book should of been titled Randi's Chance.

Joanna Wylde once again made me fall head over heels for another member of the Reaper's MC. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride!

Man, I love reading L.P.'s books. She always make me smile! Last Chance is a "trying to find out what happened and who you are" type of book. No literally it is that type of book, you will see once you read it. This review is short and sweet, because everything that I want to say will give so much away. So let me try to give you a tid-bit... There are dates, motorcycles, parties, tears, smiles, love etc... Yeah... I know that doesn't give you much at all, but I really am afraid I will give something away.

L.P. is an amazing writer. She knows how to keep you guessing. But, most of all she knows how to make your heart flutter.

A surprise visit from the sisters' cousin Luke (aka "Pukey Lukey") gets the action started in this 7th installment.  Cousin Luke turns to Patricia Anne and Mary Alice when his wife of 40 years runs off with a preacher/house painter.  The trio travel up Chandler Mountain to the preacher's remote church in the hopes of locating Luke's wayward spouse, but instead they find the body of a lovely young woman.  Is there a connection between the missing "Mrs." and the murdered woman?  And exactly what are the chances that "Mouse" and "Sister" won't take the investigation into their own (very capable) hands?

A visit with Mouse and Sister never fails to make me smile, and  I was delighted to see that Mary Alice seems to have found an excellent candidate for husband number four!  I also found the tidbits about snake-handling churches pretty interesting.  The mystery plot was fairly well thought out and kept me guessing right up until the end.

Anne George always delivers on the "cozy" front.  Within a few pages I am smack in the middle of Birmingham, trailing Mary Alice to the Big, Bold and Beautiful Shoppe or sitting in front of the fire with Patricia Anne and her husband, Fred.  The dialog flows beautifully and the banter between the sisters is priceless.

I would recommend starting at the beginning of the series with "Murder on a Girls' Night Out".

No swearing or sexual content.

Ilona Andrews has done a wonderful job of walking that fine line between tough, sassy heroine and ridiculous, overly powerful superwoman. Kate Daniels is a unique character in a genre that is largely populated with carbon copies of the same woman. Kudos to Andrews, who has once again managed to balance the qualities of power and vulnerability to perfection.

Magic Strikes doesn't pick right up where Magic Burns left off. Time has passed for Kate and Andrews didn't feel compelled to fill in every little detail that happened off-screen. But, events have again conspired to lure Kate into situations where her loyalty to friends and fears of her past come into conflict. That tension is part of what makes these books worth reading.

An underground gladiatorial games of sorts provides the backdrop for the story as new villains emerge and looming threats from previous novels begin to actually take shape. The reader is not required to have perfect recall of the previous books, but minimal familiarity will help.

What Andrews does best is to create tension. Whether it's between Kate and her value system or Kate and Curran, the local lycanthrope leader, it's intense. But there's enough humorous dialogue to relieve the tension and actually make you chuckle a bit. I particularly like that Kate remains vulnerable. Whether it's her feelings, or actual physical attacks, she knows that there are some fights she can't win and there are some fights that she is willing to lose. That sense of possible death is what separates Ilona Andrews from most of the other urban fantasists.

That, and the fact that she doesn't put Kate to bed with every gorgeous creature who enters the story. Another wonderful installment.

I love Lynda Chance's books, and this one is no exception! The chemistry between Maria and Garrett is explosive, and the sex is hot! Garrett is a typical uber-alpha male, and he's completely obsessed with Maria. I devoured this book in one evening!

Razias back, and shes still also Lyssa Peate. And shes still trying to get the male-dominated pirate web to show her some respect and treat her seriously, which suddenly becomes a lot harder when she meets Lizbeth Carter, a government agent with whom she actually has a lot in common. Lizbeths trying to get to the bottom of a government conspiracy; Razias trying to figure out what her fellow pirates are getting involved in without her. Obviously, they're a great team.

A great team when they aren't fighting or belittling each other, at least. Razia might have finally met her match in sarcasm and stubbornness.

The second book in the Razia series captured my heart more than the first. Theres lots more adventure, lots more mystery, and a government conspiracy that not only involves Razia and the rest of the pirate web, but Lyssa Peate and her own family. Where Razia/Lyssas temper and unwillingness to back down from a fight continued to make me love her, Lizbeths character enhances what was already a funny, truthful, and fantastic commentary on the unequal treatment of men versus women in various careers, and this time actually touches a bit on the consequences. On top of that, Evanss writing is crisp, clear, and funny, and ALLIANCES proves to be a quick but satisfying read for anyone who loves adventure.

Lynda Chance writes great alpha males......usually brought to their knees by the realization that love always trumps lust.  No exception here.  Great read.

I have read and re-read this book a half-dozen times.  First, long before I lived in Malta, years later while there, and again and again when I want to think about the wonders of the unique culture there.  Lyn Hamilton's books are always wonderful and include a charming hero, a fun description of her seeking antiques which embroils her in a murder, and not only a murder but one set in a historically interesting place.  I have been to most of the places in her novels, and she is spot on in describing them without boring a reader who is not a serious traveler. Then Ms. Hamilton finds a way to add a mystery that is plausible?  What more can you ask for?

Everytime I sit down and start reading one of Tasha Black's books, I know I am in for an unforgettable ride. Break This, the fourth instalment in the 300 Moons series was no exception. Chance and Thea are combustible and adorable together. Chance might just be the most romantic shifter ever. The crossover was a stroke of genius and meeting West and that hunky Dalton again gave the book a breath of fresh air and something to mull and think over. Now what could the author be thinking of doing next? I refuse to think that all the characters coming together is just coincidence or just for the sake of inserting them in. Knowing Tasha Black, she will surprise us and entertain us. I was given an ARC in return for an honest review and I can definitely say it was a pleasure reading this book.

After discovering Lynda Chance a few months ago, she has become an auto buy for me.  Her latest, His Indecent Proposal, was fun and engaging.  The story never felt quick, though it happened in a short amount of time.  Jenna and David were quite sexy and I enjoyed getting to see them go from lust to marriage.
