Entice Me at Twilight by Shayla Black
Paranormal Romance -Oct. 26th, 2010
5 stars

I loved Entice Me at Twilight!  Why?  Because the whole story rocks!  Shayla Black is a master story teller as she returns to her complex and super sexy paranormal series, the Doomsday Brethren.  In this series there are wizards and magic that most of the human population are unaware of.  Unfortunately, one wizard named Matthias is determined to win absolute control.  He has recruited other wizards and amassed an inhuman army.  And only the valiant Doomsday Brethren has a chance to stop him!

In this story the uptight and super sexy aristocrat Simon Northam Duke of Hurstgrove
is half human and half wizard.  He is summoned by their leader Bram to find an untouchable.  An untouchable is rare person who is unaffected by magic.  Simon discovers that their enemy Mathias plans to find and use an untouchable to release Morganna le Fay, a powerful witch and harness her power.  (Because only an untouchable can walk through the deadly magical traps that entomb her.)

Simon soon discovers that he has been near the untouchable recently because that person has affected his magical aura.  And he realizes it must be one of the guests at his brother Mason's wedding.  But when they arrive and 'crash' the party Simon is dismayed to discover that the untouchable is Mason's extremely desirable bride to be Felicia!  And to his brother's ire Simon finds that he must kidnap her to protect her.  But Simon is further conflicted because he is extremely attracted to her and doesn't want to hurt his brother.

Felicia craves a life that is pain free and thinks she has found it with her dependable best
friend Mason.  But she discovers to her distress and shock that Mason really loves her and not just as a friend.  Felicia knew they would eventually have sexual relations as a couple but when Mason kisses her she panics.  When Mason's wildly attractive and wastrel brother tells her that she is in danger and abducts her from her own wedding she is upset and oddly relieved.  But his crazy talk about death and magic is just mad... or is it?

This was a fantastic story because it has so much going on and the 2 main characters are such a joy to read.  Simon and Felicia had a lot of chemistry.  I enjoyed the intensity between the 2 of them and their forbidden love made it even more enthralling and delicious to read.  Felicia is no pushover.  Simon has always been a bit standoffish and it was a pleasure to see Felicia break his hard won control.  He tries to stay away from her since he doesn't want to further jeopardize his relationship with his brother but his attraction to her is soo intense!

I also loved how this author flawlessly juggled the intertwining storylines of the other Brethren. Lucan nearly went insane and is trying to recover the severing of his bond with his mate Anka.  Anka has been abducted and abused by the enemy and now survives by living with Shock a man whose loyalty is ambiguous.  Shock's character is tortured and has a lot of depth and I would love to find out his past! I would also like to know about Bram whose missing mate is mysterious, elusive and I am eager to find out what happens once he finally gets his hands on her...

If you have not read this series, you really don't know what you are missing! (Especially if you like paranormal romances with a lot of substance and a real plot.)  The Doomsday Brethren and their trials are riveting to read.  Hot heroes, sexy and sassy heroines and some really wicked evilness make for a phenomenal series.  This book did not disappoint but it made me want more!! So my only complaint would be I wish Shayla Black wrote faster!!

In the second book in the Mercy Thompson series Mercy is asked by a friend who happens to be a vampire for a favor. She knows she owes him one for helping her before, but she never dreamed that helping him would lead to a whole lot of trouble.

This one also lets Mercy know that she Sam, and Adam wanting to mate her. But she also has another unlikely person wanting her affections.

This book has lots of action, some major hot guys, and a very awesome female heroine. I can't wait to read more. I was constantly wanting to know what was going to happen next. This story, and series is so intriguing.

This series is very difficult to put down.  With a unique cast of characters, the author turns the traditional on its head.  The heroine could easily be scorned, but instead I find myself really rooting for her.  It is a dark, scary world and it is embodied in the hero, Terrible.  Given all the rotten things happening in the world, how will they find their way to be together?

There is so very much to chose from here. There's sweet, there's spicy, there's adorable, there's wild, and there's extra extra hot. Every story has its own flavor, but they all have the magic of the Christmas season to bring these heroes and their heroines together. All of the heroes are alphas at the top of their game and they know exactly what they want: their women by their side and in their arms for the rest of forever and they will do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Once again, Ms. Vanessa Vale has entertained her loyal readers with another new series. Not only is there some mystery, suspense, and surprises, but it is jammed packed full of sexy dominant men and strong but submissive women.  The new series will bring five strangers, whom all turn out to be half-sisters, sired by Aiden Steele.  While he never did anything for them growing up, he will leave his ranch and millions to be divided between them.  While most of the sisters never knew their biological father or that they have half-sisters, this story will be just a bit different.  Each story in this series will read as a stand-alone but better if they read in written order.

The fourth daughter of Aiden Steele, Sarah Gandry, knew that he was her father, but it wasn't spoken about publically, and he only would give her a nod when he saw her.  Sarah hasn't told anyone, and she even grew up in Barlow, Montana.  Sarah has known Wilder and King since she was a young girl, but they were years older than her.  That didn't stop her having feelings for them.

I just wantedthem.  I loved them, always had and now that they were sitting before me, knew I always would.

While Sarah will date both King and Wilder, after returning home from college, they are too vanilla for what she wants, and that is such a disappointment.  She wants kink, interested in BDSM, and knew she needed more, wanted it wild and rough, even though she was a virgin, deep down, she had known for years.  She will attend a BDSM event and what a shock for King and Wilder to see the woman they want, and the way she is dressed.  That is all it takes for King and Wilder to take control, and take her to their room, where she will never use her safe word.  One night of teasing without actual sex, honest talks, true confessions, and a marriage proposal is only the beginning.  There are more secrets to come out, like her parentage, a change in her will, and marriage on Monday.

Sarah is ready to acknowledge she is Aiden Steeles daughter and will get to meet three of her half-sisters and their husbands who will all show up for the courthouse for the marriage.  The marriage is off to a good start, but trouble is on the way.  Sarah will not tell her money-grubbing mother that her father helped her out and definitely not that she married.  Sarah doesnt want anything to do with her mother and half-brother and detest the way they live and use people.

Some people are nothing but trouble, like Sarahs mother, secrets will come out, and it could cause problems for this new marriage.  Sarah will prove that she is much stronger than most people give her credit for and her integrity and that of her men will make all the difference.

She loves us.  Married us.  She didn't run.  Now lets go fix this. Wilder

I love you.  I love both of you.  Ive loved you forever.  I wanted you to know I give myself to you.  Wholly.  Completely.  I don't want to think about anything but your touch.  Im like a toy, being shared back and forth.  Id wanted kink.  I wanted wild.  I wanted dirty and naughty.  I got it with these two.  -- Sarah

As a fan of book series I was intrigued, yet intimidated, by all that's come before this book.  Though I found much to enjoy in this story, I think I would've enjoyed it more knowing all about the struggles and loss that came before.  In a series weaving the paranormal, suspense, and eroticism as well as interpersonal relationships and familial interactions, this is a series that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.  With a strong-willed, sexy, and protective group of men and the women keeping them sane you can't help but feel a part of their struggle for HEA and quickly become immersed in this world.

Dan is finally starting to heal from the loss of his fiance thanks to Fionna's love.  Though their relationship is whirlwind it's intense as their natures call to one another.  He fears for her safety though which means hiding their relationship which brings out his jealous side and intensifies their sexual interludes.  He still wants revenge for all that befell him which gave an overall sense of foreboding to the story as well.  Dan is the quintessential hero with all his rough edges, subtle romanticism, and protective nature and I enjoyed seeing his happiness return.  Equally enjoyable was watching his byplay with Garrett in protection of Fi with their mocking and brotherly banter.  The complexities of Dan's family also added a new dimension to the story that gave insight into Dan's psyche.

Fionna is a breath of fresh air in a dark and uncertain world who was content with keeping her relationship with Dan a secret as long as they were together.  She keeps him from getting lost in the darkness of revenge though he's still on the lookout for those that took away his happiness long ago.  She's got troubles of her own from a stalker with a powerful family and threats from the outside world that left me expecting the worse.  Fi is a kindhearted woman who values all the men in her life, both friends and lover.  She's drawn to Dan and appreciates every moment they have together.

In a story that sometimes left me lost I still valued the intriguing emotional connections, steamy sexual interludes, and compelling characters fighting against evil.  There were lots of returning characters and others who played a bigger role this time around along with twists and turns that ultimately left things up in the air and readers clamoring for more with this fast-paced read.  From start to finish this was another satisfying installment in The Gifted Realm series for long-time readers that will win over new ones too!

Although I enjoyed A Fistful of Evil I had a few issues with it, I felt that the series had huge potential though and I'm so glad I gave it a second chance. A Fistful of Fire was everything I'd hoped for and then some, this series has definitely found it's legs now and I'm really excited to see where things go from here.

Madison is still learning what being an Illuminant Enforcer is all about, she doesn't have much experience with the creatures that she might come across and still has a lot to learn about fighting evil but she's hard working and she uses her brain. There were times early on that I started to get really frustrated with her boss for keeping her so in the dark, there was obviously something major going on yet he refused to answer any of her questions and left her bumbling around having to try and figure things out on her own. There was a very good reason behind his actions though and once things started to fall into place I found myself applauding Mr Pitt for being so sneaky. Things definitely worked out for the best even if it did make for a very frustrating experience for Madison. It was interesting to get to meet some of the other Enforcers and Wardens in the surrounding area and hopefully Madison will be able to start training fully now that one particular hurdle has been cleared.

Madison is a fun character to spend time with, she's still a bit of a klutz and is always guaranteed to find any trouble in her immediate vicinity but she's also kind hearted and very warm. She makes mistakes but her heart is in the right place and it's not really her fault for going off and trying things on her own when the people who should be helping her are deliberately keeping her in the dark. I don't even mind that there is a potential love triangle here, what with the sexy vet Alex who has finally asked her out on a date and then her gorgeous co-worker Niko who definitely seems like he might be interested, we have plenty of eye candy going on and I'm not actually sure which of the two guys I want her to pick.

Of course I love Madison's feline sidekick Mr Bond but we had a couple of new additions to the series here and I absolutely loved both Val and Jamie. They both added plenty of humour and I love it when author's come up with different types of supernatural creatures in their books. This series is really coming along nicely, it's fun and light hearted but has some great characters, a lot of humour and some really interesting world building starting to develop. I'm very much looking forward to seeing where things go from here and I'll definitely be looking out for more from Rebecca Chastain in the future.

I'm so happy I decided to read this series. It has everything, hero's who are fierce warriors and protective passionate lovers. The heroin in each story is strong and independent in different ways. And the story line gets better with each book. One minute I'm laughing out loud, the next I'm on the edge of my seat wandering what trouble is headed their way. I really loved that it follows all of the characters throughout the series. Can't wait until the next book comes out.

Dominate alpha males aplenty. This book is most definitely for 18+ ONLY. The warning at the beginning wasn't enough. It should have warned you'd end up soaking wet. Now with that being said this is way more than an erotic humpfest. The characters are well developed and completely fleshed out, and not just the main characters each and every supporting character.

  This is a complex story filled with mystery, wonder, love, and adventure. Oh and steamy love scenes. The main character,Ryder, is foul mouthed, domineering, super hot and 100% alpha male deliciousness. Synthia is just as sassy, confident, and super sexy. This book has plots and subplots, and twists that will blow your mind. This series is one that I will see through till the end.

A very enjoyable, fast paced read, as I have found every book on this series to be. The sex scenes are titillating and fresh, with out of this world hero's and sexy, minxes of heroines' at every turn of the page. I would highly recommend this book and series.

The Slye Temp series is always packed with physical risks and steamy passion, and the fourth book, KISS THE ENEMY, delivers both in huge amounts. Danger is often unanticipated, and outcomes are frequently uncertain until the very last second. Desire between the hero and heroine rises until only a slight touch can turn the moment into a heated embrace. A perfect balance of suspense and romance makes KISS THE ENEMY totally captivating and always entertaining. Dianna Love has created an exceptionally compelling Slye Temp story, a series I never want to end.

When the current mission being carried out by the Slye Temp organization goes wrong, it is believed agent Margaux Duke was on a personal vendetta and not only acting on supposedly good info. Although she would like to make the person who killed a relative pay, she had really thought a terrorist attack was imminent and needed to be stopped. When Margaux learns her inquiries have put those with whom she works in jeopardy, she will place herself at risk to keep them from being hurt because of her.

After putting a plan in motion to locate the person responsible for making her life so chaotic, Margaux comes in contact with another individual looking for the same man, though for much different reasons. Logan Baklanov needs the known criminal in order to rescue his brother. To make this happen, he must pretend to be someone involved in terrorist acts to draw out this particular individual. When Margaux accidentally becomes entangled in his scheme, nothing goes as he wished. Though they must work together or much may be lost, Logan and Margaux are keeping secrets that will keep trust between them from easily forming.

When two strong-willed personalities clash, the results are often volatile and unpredictable. This has never been truer than when Logan and Margaux must make decisions that will greatly affect them both. They are certainly a stubborn pair, as neither wants to give up control of a situation. Several of their conversations are very explosive, and I had no idea who would win. Though they may be hot-tempered, thankfully they are still able to think things through enough to know when it is wise to at least give in just a little. I loved watching Logan and Margaux bicker, as their disputes are filled with so much passion. This is one reason I think their love-making was so fiery, as everything these two does is backed by lots of emotion. The vulnerability shown by Logan at times is especially touching, as this very alpha hero has a soft side when it comes to Margaux.

Any danger in the story is convincingly depicted with much potential harm, and what Logan and Margaux must go through sometimes is extremely challenging. How their minds work to figure out a solution to any dilemmas proves they are intelligent and very creative. Books with loads of action have always been a favorite of mine, and Dianna Love knows how to make her suspenseful stories continuously gripping. There is hardly a moment to take a calming breath in KISS THE ENEMY before a threat once again comes into the lives of Logan and Margaux. There are numerous new characters in the latest story of the Slye Temp series that I would like to have their own story, as well as those from previous books who have yet to find someone to love. I especially want to know more about Nick plus Sabrina and Gage.

I devoured this book in one sitting.  The action scenes are absolutely edge of your seat riveting.  The love scenes vary from tender to hot, hot, hot.  But what I like most about this whole series is the superb character development.  This incredibly talented writing duo has the unique ability to make each book stand on its own while building on the story line and  allowing the reader to gain deeper insight into the characters' motivations and history over the course of the series.  Each book is fresh and unique - no formula, fill in the blank plots.  An added plus is that the female characters are strong mentally and physically.  Finally, the humor adds just the right amount of light relief to the driving pace of the story.  I highly recommend these authors (Ilona Andres is a husband/wife writing team).  And if you like this series, you will love their Kate Daniels series.  Enjoy.

If you're into urban fantasy this series is about perfect. The female is sassy, strong and relatable. The story is interesting with lots of action and leaves me wanting more.
