March Reads




 
The Fates do enjoy their little amusements.

Storm O’Malley thought she’d always be a beat cop. But when she helped catch a serial murderer, she became a detective and a member of the elite Homicide squad. Now she’s got a murder to solve and a new reason to call on the gorgeous professor she met on the Dean case.

The first time Professor Tristan Lisalli met Storm, she was off limits because he couldn’t afford to get mixed up in a high-profile case. No supernatural could. Much less a noble of the Sidhe court. But after that case was solved, he’d fully intended to challenge his cousin Pierce with the seduction of a woman-with the seduction of Storm. But now Storm is involved in another high-profile case. A murder again, but with a difference. Treasure.

No fey creature can resist the legendary Medici Chalice of Eros. But if what Tristan suspects is true, then the real treasure is Storm. He thinks she just might be his forever wife-and Pierce’s as well.

I really enjoyed this book and want to get my hands on the rest of this series. I recommend this series!




A BLESSING—OR A CURSE?


Kristin Daniels is passionate in her pursuit of the truth. As the host of the television show Hoax Hunters, she's traveled to the ends of the earth to explore—and expose—life's most enduring myths. Her latest undertaking is no exception: Kris is bound for Scotland, where she intends to get to the bottom of the Loch Ness Monster legend once and for all. Instead, Kris encounters something far more mysterious... For in the ruins of the lake's Urquhart Castle lies a heavenly creature—a sleek, muscled man with a seductive brogue named Liam Grant. One look into his eyes and Kris is already in danger of falling in too deep. Is Liam for real? Or has the spell of the moon touched them both?

I was so happy when I got the news that that Lori was writing more books in this series.  She did not disappoint!  I am looking forward to the next book in this series Crave the Moon 6-28-11.



 To be a hero, he had to sacrifice his soul.  Now more beast than man, Dr. Henri Edouard puhed the limits from a drug he foolishly designed for one purpose - to create an invincible soldier.
In the aftermath, the government seeks the formula and Henri is on the run.  But he cannot outrun himself.
Sterling wants to reach Henri before the drug destroys him.  Dr. Alison Cunningham must save him no matter the cost and is willing, for her own reasons, to risk her life for his.  What she didn't count on risking was her heart.  Though the clock is ticking, Henri and Alice fin that lo is the most dangeous drug of all.

I picked this book up a while ago at a used book store because I have all the books in The Horde Wars and the Shikar series and totally love them.  I enjoyed this book in the Sterling Files series and now must find the rest of the books in this series.




Enemy mine…


Lyra Marcus tries to avoid her werewolf family’s political entanglements. Instead, she heals the wounds of the never-ending border skirmishes between lycans and wereleopards. It’s a bitter irony that she’s about to die in that war.

When she awakens after an attack, the horror of her situation dawns. She’s a wounded werewolf in the middle of wereleopard territory. And standing over her is a son of its most powerful family, Zander Leonidas. Her fate may be a swift and bloody end, but she intends to go down fighting.

Zander has no plan to fight the little she-wolf who’s landed at his Refuge Resort, a place where shifter species are free to be what they are—except wolves, of course. Yet Lyra fits him in a way she shouldn’t, and the urge to mark her as his mate is irresistible. A match like theirs, though, would rock the foundations of their world.

He intends to find out who left Lyra for dead on Leonidas land. And keep her safe from whoever wants to finish the job—not to mention the werewolf alpha who wants his niece back at any cost…



 

 When both his mate and his father died in a freak accident, Jason, the oldest Leonidas brother left home and became a park ranger in the Florida Panhandle. The distance and solitude suit him. After all, the less he cares, the less he hurts.


With a hurricane bearing down on the coast, his job is to secure and evacuate the park. As the storm worsens to a point where evacuation is no longer possible, he discovers Celeste Lykaios injured and unconscious. The problem is…his mate died over a year ago.

Celeste’s world has turned upside down. After being gravely injured in a plane crash, Jason abandoned her. In a mere twenty-four hours she finds out her werewolf step-father lost her birth father’s land, her family hid her survival from Jason, and her new fiancé is a killer. She goes to the only person she is certain can keep her safe, driving straight into a hurricane only to be attacked before she finds him. She wakes up in Jason’s home with no idea how she got there or why.

They take shelter from the storm to unravel the betrayal that split them apart, but first have to face the danger stalking Celeste.

When the storm passes, one question remains. If his mate–a human–survived the airplane crash that was supposed to have taken her life and the life of his father…what happened to the stronger wereleopard leader?




Love is the only thing she can’t escape…


Ecstatic that she’s found a place to hide—and a job—at Refuge Resort, Cleo Nemean toasts her escape a few too many times and ends up having a one-night stand with a seriously hot leopard shifter. The catch? It’s Adrian Leonidas, her new boss…and they accidentally mark each other as mates.

Nothing could be worse than losing her hard-won freedom. Until her werebear ex, Trevor, tracks her down. His obsession has already cost one life. Determined to never again be the cause of another death—especially Adrian’s—she flees the safety of the refuge. And her new mate’s protection.

Only Cleo has ever caused Adrian to lose his formidable control. Accidental or not, the lovely lion shifter is now his woman. He’s not about to let anything harm her before they’ve explored the undeniable heat between them. There’s only one way to eliminate the threat to her life: use her as bait to lure Trevor into a trap.

When the trap is sprung too soon, however, there’s no time to wonder if whoever tipped Trevor off is tied to his father’s disappearance. Not when there’s a gun pointed at Cleo’s head…

I found out about this series from looking up Crystal Jordan's website to find out about when the next book in her Paranormal type books will come out.  I went directly to Amazon and downloaded all three books!  Now there is another book in the series Renegade Passions.  I will have to put this one on the top of my TBR pile!



 
EXPANDED AUTHOR’S CUT SPECIAL EDITION – INCLUDING 100 EXTRA PAGES OF NEW MATERIAL
Enter the enchanting world of the Carpathians, where dark adventure, mystery, and love await, and the desires of two daring hearts unite in one irresistible passion.  


A telepathic hunter of serial killers, Raven Whitney helps catch some of the most depraved criminals. But her work keeps her from getting close to others, and has drained her body and spirit. In need of rest and rejuvenation, she embarks on a vacation far from home.

Mikhail Dubrinksy is the Prince of the Carpathians, the powerful leader of a wise and secret ancient race that thrives in the night. Engulfed by despair, fearful of never finding the mate who can save him from the encroaching darkness, his soul cries out in loneliness. Until the day a beautiful voice full of light and love responds, softly soothing his pain and yearning.

From the moment they meet, Raven and Dubrinksy are helpless to resist the desire that sparks between them. But just as fate unexpectedly brings these life mates together, malevolent forces threaten to destroy them and their fragile love. Yet even if they survive, how can these two lovers – Carpathian and human – build a future together? And how can Dubrinksy bring Raven into his dark world without extinguishing her beautiful goodness and light?

I love this series but was disappointed that I didn't notice any 100 extra pages!   I would love to find out exactly what was added to this book!  I still look forward to the next book in this series Dark Predator fall of 2011 - and April 26th Savage Nature comes out from her Leopard series another of her great series!

DEADLY LIES

This series gets better and better, I am so glad that Cynthia decided to take a leap and try a new genre!  I will definately pick up all her suspense books in the future!

 

 A HERO AMONG MEN

Meet Captain Jordan Malone. For years he has been a silent warrior and guardian, operating independent of government protocol or oversight, leading his loyal team of Elite Ops to fight terror at all costs.

Tehya Talamosi, codename: Enigma, is a force to be reckoned with. A woman this striking spells nothing but trouble for Jordan.

The last book in the Elite Ops series!  I do enjoy her suspense books but my favorite is still the Breeds!   I also look forward to more books in her Bound Hearts series!! :)  I hope she continues with the The Chronicles of Brydon series!  She is a terrific author and one of my favorites!  I always look forward to reading any book she publishes!!


 
Katie Woods never thought she'd be forty-one, divorced, and thrust back into the dating world. To start fresh, Katie uproots her veterinary practice to upstate New York-not exactly the hottest dating scene on the planet. But when an unconscious cougar appears at her clinic, Katie's newly single life gets a much needed jolt of the supernatural kind. After Katie examines the cougar and leaves him caged overnight, she's shocked to find a big strapping specimen of young, hot man in its place. And when the scratch she got during the exam results in some unnatural side effects, Katie has more to deal with then her animal attraction to a much younger guy-she has to figure how to stop herself from becoming a cougar of the four-legged variety.

Dakota has such a great humor to her writings and I can't get enough.  I so look forward to Accidentally Dead ....Again!




 
Nothing on earth can make this vampire fall in love…


After 499 years of existence, Connor Buchanan has arrived at an inescapable conclusion: he is a cold-hearted SOB. He’s been watching his friends—those poor romantic fools—plummet off the cliff into love like a dazed herd of sheep. But not Connor. He knows that love leads to nothing by heartache.

Until Marielle…

She is an angel cast down from heaven for disobedience. Trapped in mortal form, she finds a protector in Connor, a Scottish vampire haunted by a dark past. Marielle hopes to heal his broken heart and earn her way back home, but suddenly she has these…feelings. This strange yet pleasant physical yearning—for a vampire! Is this the work of a demon luring her into hell, or has this angel found heavenly bliss?

I always enjoy reading the Love At Stake books and am glad she now has more paranormal characters included in this series!  I so look forward to the next book in this series Sexiest Vampire Alive!!  If you read this series then you know this book belongs to Gregori!  I look forward to finding out who the new bad guys or girl will be also and how Shanna's dad takes to being a Vampire!


I was planning on doing this a few weeks ago, but several sad events have taken place in my life that had me put this off until now! 
Rest In Peace
Uncle Neil Castro whom introduced me to his nephew who is now my husband of almost 20 years!
Uncle Steven Mitchell my fathers brother that he was very close to. Out of 7 siblings he only has 2 left which scares me alot!
And Lisa Dalrymle 31, my co-worker who died in a car accident and left 3 small children and husband!  My prayers go out to the family.

On top of the above sad news I have trigger finger in my thumb and will go to the specialist Thursday to see if he can help me with the pain it is causing.
