Novel
Jane Lyke has made a mistake, and it’s a doozy. In order to get away from a werewolf in her family pack, she lies and tells him she’s pregnant with another pack leader’s child. Furious with her, she is beaten, banished and tossed at the other leader’s feet. But instead of being angry with her, he and his mate help her. After she heals, she refuses to join another pack, and instead becomes an outcast from her kind. Remy Silva is another outcast…by choice. He also happens to be the brother of the pack leader who Jane accused. He is short tempered, arrogant and more than a little irritated that his brother has changed so much since his mating. No way would any woman do that to him! When Jane and Remy first meet, there are instant sparks and slowly these two outcasts find that together, they are stronger than anything fate can throw at them. But when Jane’s past comes after her, they find that they are connected in ways neither of them expected. Now they have to find out if true love can truly conquer all. WOW! This was one of the best werewolf books I’ve ever read. Ms. Drewry has taken a well used genre and breathed new life into it. Remy is so very alpha and sexy and Jane is feisty, opinionated and still vulnerable. The tension between the two is fantastic and the love scenes are wonderfully heated. Anyone who enjoys shapeshifter stories is sure to enjoy this one!!!Reviewed by Char @mayreview.com

Genre: ParanormalCover: Martine JardinNovel
Maggie works at a diner. Her life is boring and oh too normal. She’s overweight, cranky and wishes something interesting would happen. When the hottest guy she’s ever seen shows up at her table, she realizes her life is about to change. Next thing she knows, she is flying though the air with the man, who turns out to be a vampire named Stoker. They are being pursued by another vampire, by the name of Crim. Both vampires want Maggie to be the next vampire queen, and also a succubus. As she is changed by their passion and love, she is pursued by still a third vampire who wants her for his own. Can Stoker and Crim keep Maggie safe, or will she decide that this new life isn’t what she wants at all. Written in the first person, this is an interesting tale of vampire sex and passion. While ménage is not my forte, Ms. Weldon handled it tastefully and made the love growing between the three characters believable. The story line held great promise, but was a little murky for me. But for those who are vampire lovers, and like their sex hot and often, this book will deliver. Reviewed by Char @mayreview.com

This is a witty romance, with hot hot sex, and sweet tender romance, and wonderful characters. I loved all of the characters they are well developed and very interesting especially considering the short length of the story. The problem with the military isn’t one that can be easily dismiss and Ms. Redding has formulated a solution that few would have considered and adds a great twist. The story flows smoothly, and it a fast read. Although the story moves from the ghosts in heaven to the people on earth it doesn’t slow the storyline and causes no confusion. Ms. Redding has written and excellent story and I am happy to recommend it.

Title: Eyes of Darkness Book 1: Dante’s Flame
Author : Christy Poff
ISBN:1-59374-381-5
Release date :October 2005

Form: E-Book
Genre- Paranormal eroticaSome BDSM
Jacob Dante is a sexy nightclub owner with a secret; he is a vampire. When he sees Melanie Walters for the first time he knows he wants to have her. She makes him feel things he hadn’t felt in years. He would do anything to keep her with him forever, with one exception. She would not be forced to go with him.
Melanie Walters was sick off men dumping her. She was beginning to wonder if something was wrong with her when Jacob Dante waltzed into her life. Even learning he was a vampire did not frighten her or what she felt for him. She wanted to be with him no matter the cost.
Melanie and Jacob feel right together. He wants to love and protect her. She just wants to love him. The connection they have to each other is incredibly gentle and loving.
Ms. Poff writes this tender lover story with just a touch of BDSM. However, it is written so naturally that it does not offend the reader. It takes the reader to a whole new level of Melanie and Jacob’s relationship.
Though this was a bit short for me; this novella would make a quickie read for when you have little time to spare, but want to read a great story.

John Hawke paddles his boat to the center of the lake at the command of the aliens. Suddenly a woman appear in the air and falls into the lake. He jumps in and saves her. Taking her to shore he quickly fills her in that they are in what he calls a fish bowl, and that the aliens will be sending a monster any moment. As they always send a monster after giving him something. Even half-drowned, she looked like a wet dream. John fights the monster, then informs her that he is the law and makes the rules as he will be fighting for her almost every day to save her life.
John is a hunk with the image of a strong Tarzan and a brawny Conan fighting with a sword. He must keep her alive, and supply all of her needs, in return he demands sex. He can tell right away that she likes being ordered so he is happy to oblige. The story has a twist at the end that is unexpected.
