Cynthia Eden is one of those writers churning intense, intoxicating, dark and soul consuming stories in her sleep!!!! She never ceases to amaze me with her fascinating paranormal or hot alpha males totally obsessive of their ladies, walking on the wild side.

Her new series “Dark Obsession” is a trilogy surrounding three bodyguards and their intense passion and consuming love for their mates. Guarding 24/7 and close proximity only deepens their desire.

WatchMe-CynthiaEden

“Watch Me” champions the trilogy, with Chance Valentine trying very, very hard to stay away from his obsession Gwen Hawthorne. Working for her Senator Father as security, brought him close to Gwen, and his consuming desire and professionalism takes him away from Gwen before he loses himself in her.

But fate is not done taking a chance with Chance, and when Gwen’s life is in danger, he gets hired by the Senator to guard his daughter. A proximity that brings to fore all his love and passion for Gwen and a desire that refuses to bite the dust. As Chance and Gwen ignite their passion for each other and set fire to their love, a killer is lurking in the shadows, threatening Gwen and bringing a past to collide with the present.

It never ceases to amaze me no matter how short or long her stories are, she never compromises on the depth of the characters. Short or long her stories always leave me with an orgasmic satisfaction ;). Cynthia Eden skillfully takes her readers on a seductive and sensual ride into the dark obsession and leaves them panting for more!!!

Look out for “Want Me” in January 2015 and “Need Me” on February 2015

Deadly Fallout – Sweet And Sensual Repercussions!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
November 30, 2014

I don’t think I can ever get tired of Katie Rues’s Red Stone Security Series…no matter how many times I read them, and no matter how many stories she comes up with. They are dangerous, they are sensual, they are passionate and they give you an adrenaline kick to your heart and mind.

DeadlyFallout-RedStone-KatieReus

Zoe Hansen is a dedicated doctor who gets forced to resign from her beloved profession due to a stalker and ends up working in a private practice. Unfortunately for her, the stalker comes back, followed by a death that she is suspected of the crime. Even when she is cleared of the crime, the stalker is hell bent on taking her life and circumstances lands her in the presence of Sawyer McCabe.

Sawyer McCabe is an ex-Navy Seal working for the infamous billionaire Alexander Blue, who happens to be a personal friend of Zoe. The few glimpses of Zoe, has Sawyer all hots for her, and now that Zoe’s life is in danger, he would move heaven and earth to keep her safe. As Zoe and Sawyer fall for each other with instant passion, they have to trust each other to take the stalker behind bars.

“Deadly Fallout” is the tenth in the series and is no less fabulous to read than the others. Zoe and Sawyer make an amazingly practical pair of lovers, with a loving family to support and take care of them. There is plenty of love and affection going around, and reading it just gives you one of the warmest feelings of happiness, despite the danger lurking in the shadows.

And reading Katie Reus always leaves me with a compelling desire to go back and re-read and re-read, and re-read her other works.

Body Of Evidence – Treachery And Love On The Line

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
November 4, 2014

I love Rachel Grant and her Evidence Series. Body Of Evidence (Book 2) is a brilliantly crafted story of political mayhem and corruption with the innocents in the crosshairs of war and death.

Archeologist Mara Garrett’s job is to retrieve dead GIs and bring them home. Excavating in North Korea, she never dreams that she would end being arrested, labeled as a spy and sentenced to death.

BodyOfEvidence-RachelGrant-Oct2014

US Attorney Curt Dominic is her only saving grace, but unfortunately this ambitious attorney is prosecuting her uncle who was the former Vice President. Curt has enough evidence to bring Mara’s uncle to justice, but still needs her as a key witness to testify.

Curt literally saves Mara from facing the firing squad within seconds to spare, and the trip back to the US ends up being sabotaged. What started off as a rescue quickly turns into a deadly game of danger and death. With a known enemy on their trail, Mara and Curt have to trust each other to keep their bodies breathing.

Body Of Evidence is a fabulous ride of thrill and suspense as Mara and Curt try to outwit the enemy across the globe. Mara and Curt is an intoxicating couple and Rachel Grant has done a stupendous job writing them. With passion sizzling between them, and a trial that keeps them apart, loyalties are tested, and love is put in the crosshairs of a conspiracy that not only threatens to tear them apart but also puts national security at risk.

I thought Concrete Evidence (Book 1) was an adrenaline rush, but Body Of Evidence beats it with guns blazing!

Her Grave Secrets – Tenacious Poison In Solitude

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
November 2, 2014

For the uninitiated readers, “Her Grave Secrets” is the third book in the Rogue River Series, co-written by Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh. The first two books are “On Her Father’s Grave” (Kendra Elliot) and “Gone To Her Grave” (Melinda Leigh). So my recommendation is to definitely read in sequence.

RogueRiverSeries-1 and 2-ElliotLeigh copy

So the saga of danger and death continues in the small town of Solitude. A deadly drug called C-22 is making its appearance in the dead bodies showing up in Solitude. Since the death of Stevie’s father, who was the sheriff of Solitude, there has been a string of strange deaths and Stevie along with the new sheriff, Zane are trying to get to the bottom of this evil.

As the love between Zane Duncan and Stevie Taylor blossoms, so is the evil lurking in the shadows. Stevie and Zane along with Seth, are trying to uncover the mystery surrounding some of the prime residents of Solitude. As the pieces of the puzzle seem to fall into place, there are more questions than answers. And when Zane gets hurt as another piece of the puzzle falls into place, but some old secrets also come to light. When her father’s death is bordered on homicide, Stevie knows that they need to double their efforts and become more vigilant before more innocent people get hurt.

RogueRiverSeries-3 and 4-ElliotLeigh copy

“Her Grave Secrets”, is a great continuation as it seems to head into a final showdown with very surprising revelations. I love the way both the writers have kept their unique skills of narration, yet bring the story together in each book they write. The suspense is brilliant, romance sublime and the characters have turned out to be fabulous, with their own personal issues and insecurities, yet supportive of each other.

A Secret Colton Baby – A Mixed Bag

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
October 9, 2014

Karen Whiddon is another first for me ad so is her latest release, “A Secret Colton Baby” of her series The Coltons: Return To Wyoming.

Theo Colton literally gets saddled with a baby, dropped off by his socialite girlfriend, and ends up dying with a mysterious virus. His new cook Ellie Park inevitably ends becoming the nanny of the baby.

Theo moves back home after sustaining a severe back injury in one his rodeo competitions, and is taking care of the family ranch. Ellie Park is running away from a stalker and ends up at Theo’s ranch as a cook, but unfortunately the stalker follows her.

SecretColtonBaby-KarenWhiddon-Oct2014

Sparks fly between Theo and Ellie, as they try to adjust to the addition of a new member to the Colton clan. Between trying to find the stalker wanting to kill Ellie, to an unknown virus that seems to be taking the lives of people in Dead River, and raising a baby, there seems to be a lot happening in Dead River.

Unfortunately, the various dynamics seem to rob the story of its essence and no single aspect of the story seems to be properly developed. Mind you, it’s not a bad story or a boring read. It’s just that there are people everywhere, incidents everywhere and too much happening everywhere. A lot of things seem to be cramped into a shorter version. It would have made a great book, if the story was developed properly into a longer version, the characters were given the right progression and development and the story would have been a great read.
