Sex - hot, out-of-control sex.

Dara is marrying a human hoping that will keep her from revealing her wing and keeping her heritage a secret. That is until the night of her wedding she meets the most amazing looking man she's ever laid eyes on - Merritt Fae.

Merritt is determined to do whatever it takes to make Dara his forever, no matter what the cost. But will Dara give in to the temptation with a man who can make her weak in the knees with just one touch? Or will she remain true to her soon to be husband?

Weddings are never easy. But when you're Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor, they can become downright deadly...

In the days leading up to The Big Day, Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor seems to have a full house and the wedding guests have yet to arrive. Along with her human buddies, there's a ghost, a werewolf, and a Fiend crashing at her place. And though her fiance, Vampire King Eric Sinclair, conveniently disappears when the conversation turns to seating charts and flower arrangements, he does manage to make his oh-so-sexy presence known at other moments. Cold feet are no surprise, especially with an undead groom.

But when Sinclair truly goes missing - and not just to avoid wedding preparations - along with most of her friends and loved ones, Betsy is frantic. Alone and afraid for the fate of everyone she loves, Betsy can't trust anyone as she tries to find them and whoever is behind all the disappearances. And what happens next will shake the foundation of the vampire world forever.

One by one, all of Betsy's friends leave her. She thinks her friends abandoned her. But as soon as it becomes obvious to Betsy that her friends are missing and may well be dead, she becomes afraid. Especially after the death of her family members. She soon realizes that it’s up to her to find out what's going on and step up to the plate and be the queen she truly is.

Ms. Davidson has such a creative mind that just leaves fans addictive. You can't help but want to discover and read all her books.

I am so very happy to see how things turned out in this latest 'Betsy' story. Betsy finally came around and became a true queen, and didn't put up with anyone trying to bring her down. And once and for all got what she wanted with Eric. I can't help but want and crave any and all upcoming 'Betsy' books. Wonder what Ms. Davidson has in store for her fans in the next installment in the 'UNDEAD AND ...' series.

Julienne Hunter - "She had it all - Beauty, Wit and Grace". And she used it—with a heedless and reckless daring to climb to the pinnacle of success in the world of high fashion. There was no tomorrow in her glittering world and no secrets that her charm could not hide. But old bodies will not stay buried and Julienne is about to learn the truth of her own lost past. Crushing tragedy lures Julienne back to the family home her mother, Cassandra, abandoned over twenty-one years ago—and straight into the unwelcome embrace of the man her mother feared.

Morgan Saint-Evanston - Dark. Brooding. Sexy as hell. He’s everything a woman desires, yet his own dangerous secrets have tainted his heart and blackened his soul. He is a man Julienne will dare to take as her lover even as he plunges her into an occult realm where human souls are open barter…

THE KEEPER OF ETERNITY is the beginning of a must-read series by the devilishly talented Ms. Quinn. The book is one of the most creative stories I have had the pleasure of reading in a long time. It just captivates and draws you into from the very beginning with the heroine Julienne Hunter and the dark and powerful hero, Morgan Saint-Evanston.

From the moment they first meet, tempers flares and sparks fly between Julienne and Morgan. Julienne's world is turned upside down when she returns home to meet her grandmother. There, she meets the reclusive Morgan and other entertaining characters that will charm you. You can't but feel for Julienne, for the life she's lived and discovering that trouble has just begun for her. With Morgan, acting like a charmer one moment and the next, acting like a complete creep, driving Julienne crazy because she dosn't knows whether to knock him out or kiss him senselessly.

As days pass, Julienne uncovers more secrets from her past and the deep connection she has with Morgan. Morgan, on the other hand, has no clue what to do with the growing feelings he's developed for Julienne. The woman drives him out of his mind but yet he can't manage to keep his distance from her.

There's a battle ahead and only time will tell who will win this war. The war is coming from all ends. Morgan is duty bound to return to his world and conquer his evil twin or face the hell that is waiting for him by his enemies.

This belongs on the top of your must-read book lists. And with the next book in the series, THE PRICE OF ETERNITY, just about to be released, it won't be leaving you disappointed.

Welcome to Settler's Mine, where rivals become mates...

Orion and Balt are two of the best bounty hunters. Their rivalry has become legend. For that reason alone, they've been hired to bring in a woman, Layla, by whatever means necessary. Orion and Balt unexpectedly meet up on Settler's Mine to bring in Layla, whose retrieval will set up the finder for life. It's a race to see who will find her first.

Layla has been hiding in disguise for some time now. She's being hunted and is doing her best to keep herself hidden and one step ahead of her enemies. Layla, who's not what she appears, is hiding in plain sight, but it takes a while for the rivals to recognize her. What she didn't count on was the two bounty hunters, Orion and Balt, being her mates.

When they find her, they are stunned to find their heartstones glowing, marking them all as mates. All three of them. Now Orion and Balt must learn to work together if there is any hope of saving Layla from both a rich, ruthless man and their government. They must also learn to accept each other as the threesome they were always meant to be.

I was shocked at how addicted I've become with this book. It caught me by surprise at how amazing the storyline is. And also how much I love the banter and romance between these characters. This story will definitely keep you intrigued to the very end. The readers will be captivated and just as anxious as me, waiting restlessly for the next book in this amazing new series.

Ms. Armstrong, author of the "BloodLines" series, bring us a new book soon to become a smash hit series. Once again, Ms. Armstrong brings us another captivating tale of romance, suspense and plenty of action.

On a small parallel world, much like medieval Earth, a woman with extraordinary healing powers and a man who would be the next ruler of his country are thrown together to save their lands from warring nations and to solve the mystery of two brutal deaths within their own fortress, despite the danger to their own lives. Through it all, they find a love that defies all odds, breaks all traditions, and becomes the symbol of hope for the future of their world.

Mareesa, of Dangard, is the new healer sent to Bothe as part of a treaty between these two countries. No one knows the true reason for her coming to Bothe - to discover the truth about their healer, Cinta's death. Mareesa would make Cinta's murderer suffer. But she didn't count such a distraction like Querl.

Querl, of Bothe, is the heir of his uncle. He is shocked upon learning of Cinta's death, and even more curious about this new healer being a woman. Querl is immediately attracted to Mareesa, but has no clue as to why.Along the way, they discover a passion like no other has ever felt before. But they must worry for danger is lurking behind the scenes. Jealously and attempted murders soon drive these apart. But with a little help, Querl wises up and fights for the woman he loves. But in true Mooney fashion, even despite their newfound happiness, Querl and Mareesa still have many troubles to overcome.

This is an author who likes the put her characters through hell, but in the end, they do get their happy ending. She enjoys writing romantic drama stories mixed in with amazing love scenes. I was kind of nervous of reading this story at first, but so glad I overcame that uneasiness. Absolutely loved the drama and suspense. I especially came to cheer on the hero, Querl for saving the damsel in distress, Mareesa. Ms. Mooney has such an amazing way of making you not only care for but also feel the pain and joy of these characters.

Chrys came to Nowhere to visit her brother and his family. There are werewolves in Nowhere, and now, through a quirk of fate - and the bloody murder of her brother and most of her family - Chrysanthemum Hollister is one of them. The only family she has left is her orphaned niece. Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, Chrys and her niece get kidnapped by a werewolf seeking to make her his mate.

When Donovan Vitello, the North American Werewolf Clan's hunter, finds a woman covered in the blood of a killer and in the throes of her first shift into a werewolf, he knows the clock is ticking. He walks into a scene where a werewolf is murdered, and the she-wolf who killed him is unable to handle the changes of the transformation. He is immediately drawn to her. He'll do anything he can to help her survive and make her his genetic mate. His attraction to the beautiful red wolf cannot be denied, but more than that, she may just be the only one who can save his life.

Her orphaned baby niece is not a werewolf, which makes it imperative for Chrys to shift back to human form. No problem, she can do that, right? Wrong. In order to shift, Chrys needs the help of the man who changed her. That man is dead at her own hands. How can Donovan help her?

Ms. Bryce, the author of the GOING NOWHERE series, has brought another amazing book. Ms. Bryce brings out the best in her characters. She goes out of her way to let each character have their say in her books. I think this is an amazing story. It has little bit of every genre in here, Suspense, Drama, Humor, Romance, and plenty of Action. Even the secondary characters are hilarious! I definitely look forward to reading all upcoming books by Ms. Bryce, as will you who read this one.

Arieona "Aries" Roman has been left at the altar twice. By two vampires no less! So when a million dollars of diamonds are stolen, Aries happily puts her jilted heart aside and travels to the Caribbean to seek out the thief. She's definitely not expecting to come face to face with her ex-lover, Quentin De Leon, who walked out of her life but not her heart. He still wants her, and she can't say no to the sex.

Quentin De Leon has always known that his life as a Guardian would force him to battle with the one woman he's desired most: Aries. He must stop her from going against an immortal enemy who could destroy them both. But his desire to possess her body and soul may prove the greater danger. If he can't control his hungers, he may lose her. Forever.

When Aries thinks things couldn't get any worse, she's kidnapped by said vampire. Hope for rescue lies with, who else? Her other vampire ex who left her at the altar. Hot sex, yes. But sometimes diamonds are not a girl's best friend and Aries might get her heart broken again.

This was quite an exciting, action packed, dramatic and erotic story. I loved how much dramatic suspense this tale has, where just about no one in this story was who they said they were. It seems like all the characters had secrets. Ms. King even had me caring for the secondary characters in her book. A definite good time will be had by all who reads this book.

Ms. King has a vivid and very creative imagination. She indulges her readers with said vivid imagination with her erotic and addicting stories. You won't find anything boring or mundane in any of her books.

Vice cop Brenden Wallace has walked on the dark side for too many years.

Until he's assigned to investigate an escort service called Exotic Jewels and meets Líadán Niamh.

But Líadán's hungry kiss is more dangerous than Brenden could have imagined. Women are turning up dead, and every clue leads Brenden back to Líadán -- and a raw, brutal passion that could cost him his life…

Brenden is on the hunt for a serial killer targeting young women. Unbeknownst to Brenden, his sister conjures up a love spell on him. He's determined to solve this case but never expected to ever meet someone as Liadan.

CATARI HEAT 1: NEW BEGINNINGS
RATING: 5 ENCHANTMENTS

From the very beginning, Leah felt something, a deep desire, and knew she could trust Darius. But that didn’t stop her from putting her foot down when this complete stranger claimed Leah was his mate.

It all started when pilots Leah and Ashley crashed on a strange planet. She literally falls into Darius’ arms. But Darius never imagined his mate would have such a fiery attitude.

Ms. Logan brings out the best and worst of these characters and manages to make you feel the love of Leah and Darius. The union between Darius and Leah is explosive and they leave you wanting more. But one thing is certain - Ms. Logan will keep you captivated and thoroughly entertained with this book.

CATARI HEAT 2: DOUBLE THE PLEASURE
RATING: 4 ENCHANTMENTS

This is the story of two alpha males of the Jageri people of Cateri who will do whatever it takes to find and claim their mate, Ashley.

Ashley is a pilot whose ship crashed on an unknown planet alongside her fellow co-pilot and friend, Leah. Ashley has been having erotic dreams. She doesn’t think they are real until she wakes up from her deep sleep to find two of the most gorgeous men she ever laid eyes on. Ashley struggles with this new life but soon finds herself falling head over heels in love with her new mates Jarod and Jeron.

Much like the previous book, Ms. Logan brings out new character that you can’t help but love. I thought it was well written but at the same time it seemed repetitive.For some reason, Ashley seemed a little too laid back. I wanted to see a more fiery attitude from her. The sex scenes are even more explosive then previous book and definitely leaving the readers hot!

CATARI HEAT 3: MATE FEVER
RATING: 5 ENCHANTMENTS

This is the third book of the series by Ms. Logan. And third one is the charm. It’s about a hunter named Garrick finally finding his mate, Kira. Jilla, a Seer, also finds her mate, Keevan.Nothing will stand in their way from claiming their mates.

I think this one is the best of the three books. It continues to involve characters from the previous books. The sex scenes are even more dynamic and scorching hot, and won’t leave you wanting. Overall this series will be an enjoyment to all. I am sure the readers will want future books written in this series.

CATARI HEAT is a great book and I highly recommend it. I give this book 4.5 Enchantments.

Rikard, on the other hand, has plans of his own. He discovers the truth about Graylin and will stop at nothing to make her submit and be his mate. He even plans to declare Graylin his to the council. Rikard just didn't think Graylin would have plans of her own.

Graylin Treel is on a deadline. With only a few hours to go, she needs to put herself in the path of the dragon she has chosen as a mate. The problem is, he thinks she is a pathetic human. When the glamour drops and their senses are aroused, can any structure of man take the heat of two dragons in the throes of passion?

Ms. Grace has a great mind and has such a way of making the readers fall in love with her books. Especially with the wicked sense of humor that she brings into her stories.

I think that this story is a gem. It has a strong heroine, Graylin, plus an alpha male, Rikard. When these two get together the passions come out scorching hot! I love the banter between Graylin and Rikard. I think it's great that the women show the men in this story that their ways of thinking are history like the cavemen and discover that times, they are a'changing.

Mattie finally meets the family that turned their back on her as a child where she was subjected to all kinds of pains. When she is forced to do the biggest con of her life, posing as the missing granddaughter of a wealthy matriarch, Mattie soon realizes things are not what they seem and she may be in even more danger than she’s ever been.

West meets Mattie and something clicks between them even though he’s dating Mattie’s “sister”, Emeline. West knows that Mattie couldn’t possibly be his Elaine. He is going to do his best to prove Mattie a fraud but it becomes a gamble once he realizes that he’s falling for her.The con was supposed to be simple - get in, get the money, get out. But when Mattie meets the family that rejected her as an infant, she becomes tangled in a dark family mystery that someone will kill to keep unsolved.

As she struggles to earn the reward offered to her by her wealthy maternal grandmother, her past threatens to destroy the tentative new life she is trying to build with West, a passionate, moody musician. To save the man she loves, she has to reveal everything. But revealing her past will cost her everything. Mattie must make a choice, one that will either kill her or turn her into the very thing she hates the most. Will she choose her past...or her future?

This is one powerful drama. It held my attention from the very beginning. I truly loved the angst and drama that slowly build into romance for the heroine, Mattie. I wanted to hate the hero, West, but I found it too hard to do that. This is one story that will not be forgotten anytime soon. I just hope that Ms. Steia will continue on with this story for it’s just too good to be the end.Ms. Steia, author of MUSE and the "Swamp Baby" series, welcomes you to read her gripping new story, A YEAR OF YOU.
