I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I love everything Monica writes!! But Ewen and Janet are my favorites!! This book had me laughing, crying and everything in between!! There is great adventure and the settings and characters bring you along on a thrilling and adventurous ride. I can't wait to read the other stories in this series!! I loved reading this because she had some side stories for the other characters besides just the main characters!! I love how frustrated Ewen gets with Janets way of thinking and i LOVE LOVE LOVE how she handles it and what she does !! I will have to say he really ticked me off after the barn incident but I forgave him later!! I don't want to leave any spoilers so you'll have to read why for yourself!! You get a great read with Monica on this one. Everything will take you back to a time when danger is everywhere and you have to be careful of who you trust. But she also shows you how adventurous it can be figuring it out. I loved it and I will recommend this to everyone!!

When the Siren Calls

This story keeps you hooked from the beginning!! Isobel is so Beautiful, Peter is the husband, and Jay is snaky but Sexy!! I love how the author added real sub characters like Andy and Lucy! I really like how you learn stuff about these characters too and not just the main ones.When the story opens you feel really bad for Isobel and her ho-hum relationship with a guy who seems like he doesn't feel the same. Until Jay comes along to save her like a knight in shining armor leaving Isobel wanting more a lot more!AHHHH.... The sexuality in this book whispers in everything. The sex scenes are fabulous and well written. They give just enough detail to raise the hair on your arms and have you licking your lips.....YUMMY! The business scam adds an interesting twist and the intrigue that follows involving the corrupt business world is great!! The description in this book is beautiful from the Humidity of Marrakech that make Isobels blouse see through, to Chic London Clubs , To lovely Tuscany!! This book Is truly a GREAT read it will keep you up all night reading it!! I will recommend this to everyone!! Thanks for the awesome book !! I cant wait till the next one!!

Caressed By Ice Psy Changelings 03

I Liked this Book, but i didn't love it. I don't know if its because its not the first book of the series and i had to read the one before first to understand what is going on or what. But I felt there was alot of reference to the previous stories. ( and if they weren't it felt like it was.) That is really my only complaint. I really love the strength shown by Brenna after her ordeal ( even though she thought she was losin it when the first body was found and it was the same as the nightmares. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cold raw sexiness of Judd. Yummy I would love to WARM up this stone cold fox!! I love the raw sexually to rolls off these two in waves. This was a great as far as background description and story line goes (at least from what i gathered) and i will be getting the ones before to see if I raise my rating!! I thought it was pretty good over all and would recommend it to anyone who has read the ones before it first!! Thanks so much good reads for the first read!!! I hope i can win more!!

Harlequin Nocturne #148: Kissed by a Vampire

Sizzling, fast paced and grabs you right from the start. We meet the main characters in a most unpleasant situation were several things come to light and Stacia decides to give Alex the vampires kiss so he can live to see another day. Then we are wisked away from the bitter cold of Manhattan for the sultry heat of Miami where our heroes coincidentally run in to each other again. Then all kinds of thing happen, wonderful sexual tension, great emotional connection, intrigue, and sex!! The connection between Stacia being enslaved and Alex fighting a womens slavery ring was a great tender and touching way to quietly twine these characters together in a secret heart kind of way. You can feel the emotional conflict between Stacia and Alex till the end where you find a WONDERFUL climax and ending No pun intended (wink) . The setting description is great. You can feel the chill of Manhattan, the humidity of Miami, and occasionally the heat of the baths in Rome. This a great story of love finding away and of self discovery because by the end of the book they both learn things about themselves. Stacia learns love is worth it and Alex learned sometimes you find a rose in a bed full of weeds. This book is a great read and i will put it on my keeper shelf . I can't wait to read the next one!!! Your the best! Keep em comin!

Ok. I give this book a 3 because i liked the story line overall. I just thought Eric turns out to be more whiny then brooding. I think Tabitha should have been with Talbot from the minute shes turned BECAUSE of who she turns out to be and who he is hinted to be. you can clearly see and feel the tension and need that radiates off of them. I felt if Marilyn cared enough to spend her whole life wasting away because of Eric she should have just been turned and been with him so we wouldn't have had to suffer through the constant whiny regret. The one surprising funny man ( unintentional i'm sure ) was Philip. he is just the right amount of creepy for this book! I love how the graciously runs a hand over Percy in the glass case like its what he did every time he passed! Ha! that was pretty funny! i thought it was pretty cliche Eric gets with tabbys sister Rachel. uhhhh come on. I know shes a witch but thats no excuse for predictability. And i have to say i liked the ending except for the fact that Rodger turned out more whiny then Eric. Like I said the storyline was great . But the characters had a whole lot of room for improvement. I never cast a series out because of the first one so i will read the next one. My fingers are crossed for more stroies of the grown up characters like Talbot and tabby and not so much booohoohoo.

It was awesome!!! Skye is a great female character. She has been trapped for decades with a big mage sicko who torutres her with rape and killing her animals with who she is souly connected. When she finally sees Panther her whole world changes forever. Panther is big hot and fearless a perfect match to Skye. When Skye realizes whats to come and frees Panther he goes to rip her up till she lies willingly taking the beating he gives her he sees she is different . things are different and not at all what they first seem. They get away and an intense adventure begins. This has to be the most heart touching for me. It shows love at its finest. First by helping him get free then him wanting to tear up everything that has ever hurt her , to them both willing to go to the end for each other . Its good to see even though Skye has been push down she is never broken. and its her strength and courage that help the Feral Warriors in the end. This is a great series i will have it on my keeper shelf forever!!

Stranger

Let me start by saying this was my first Megan Hart book and I didn't know what to expect. I was pretty happy with the story as a whole, but the ending let me down a little so that is why it got 3 stars. I instantly loved Grace. Her over all attitude and sarcastic comments and thoughts were great and straight forward. Its nice having a female lead that knows what she wants and is ok with herself and her life. I liked how she was still ok when it changed. Sam and Jack where both smokin hot and yummy in different ways. I didn't know who I wanted her to be with more. Jack was a hot bad boy type with his ear ring and sparkling 1000 watt smile. He knew just how to make her sweat every time. But he also was personal with her. With him it could have been more if she wanted it to be. She treated him with respect and he really like her for it. You saw pieces of the real him when he was with Grace. Now Sam on the other hand was hot in his dominating presence. He gets in Graces head to where she can't think of anything but him. Even after the shock of him being an actual stranger instead of her date wore off and they have the great reunion at the funeral home she still can't get enough. His persistence is what made him hot. It was sexy even when they were just talking about cowboy sheets. The sexual tension was always there. It was awesome!! I loved the whole thing everything about her pushy dad who should be smacked for taking her laptop and smacked again for going into her personal stuff and then saying something about it at the party . WHAT! Like that couldn't wait. To her selfish sister who needed to grow up and accept the choices she made and not take it out on Grace for not making the same bad choices. But what bummed me out was how Sam acted when Grace told him about her dates before they got together. So what if she paid guys so she could have exactly what she wanted. First of all she didn't rub it in his face or anything .she didn't even want him to know. Like it her fault she asked for a hot stranger to pick her up that night and Sam a hot stranger came a long and picked her up. He actually got ticked because she was seeing Jack when they were talking. What is that this isn't high school. She stopped seeing him the night she saw sam with that chic and knew she just wanted to be with Sam.. What she did before they got together was none of his business. Just like it was wasn't her dads'. Then how after he stormed out a length of time goes by , she's all sad then she sees him again and she cries and then she takes him back. That was it. There was so much great build up and side stories like Shelly and Jared to have such a swift ending let me down. Even though she tied up all the loose ends in the story I was expecting more. I'll read more from her because the story as a whole was awesome and I am going to cross my fingers for better endings.
