This Midnight Series is one of my super favorite go-to series and have read each book released numerous times and I never get bored! Lisa Marie Rice writes some enthralling and captivating romantic suspense and this series cannot be missed.

MidnightRun-MidnightSeries-LisaMarieRice

“Midnight Run” comes out as part of the Midnight Trilogy and many may have already read it. Then again I’ve never had trouble reading it for the nth time and enjoying Claire and her alpha Bud.

Getting a second lease of life gives Claire Parks the freedom to explore the world that she had missed and re-discover herself to the pleasures of life. And if giving herself to a hot lumberjack then so be it. As an undercover detective Bud Morrison is trained to fight the hidden dangers and protecting is his in his every breath. Claire brings out his full protective instincts and he sure as hell not going to let her fall on his watch.

As their passion ignites the sheets and they fall in love, circumstances and a past evil threaten their newfound happiness. With Claire fighting for her rights in the relationship, Bud has to decide if he can meet her halfway to get the woman of his life.

Short but captivating, Lisa Marie Rice gives her readers an adrenaline ride of danger and passion, love and support, giving importance to relationships and friends. The Midnight series may connect the events and characters in each story, but each of them can be read a standalone.

Smoldering Hunger – Love And War Simmer

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
January 25, 2016

The Dark Kings of the Realm are going through a major upheaval as their secrets have being aired to the mortals and the impending war just seems to bubble slowly to a boiling point.

Amidst the war, the Dragon Kings seem to find love and passion. As each Dragon King finds his mate, the forces of evil refuse to stay in the shadows even as the powerful forces of the realm seem to take sides.

SmolderingHunger-DarkKingsDarius-Jan2016

Darius has come from his mountain to fight the evil and not fall in love. Yet the sensual Dr. Sophie Martin leaves him no choice as he falls head over heels for her. As the passion between them smolder the sheets catching their hearts on fire, shadows of evil seem to edge closer to the Dark Kings, with some of their very own playing a game of chess.

“Smoldering Hunger” gives Darius his mate, but it also puts Sophie directly into the path of Ulrick and his games. As each book gives a Dragon King his love, it also takes us one step closer to the war that seems to be inevitable. As Ulrick seems to be pulling the strings, it is yet to be seen who really will emerge as the King Of Kings, Constantine or Ulrick.

I love the way Donna Grant makes sure that each book has a brief history of the past and connecting to the present for new readers. The books don’t have to be read in sequence, or read at all to follow their journey. But then who can resist these powerful Dragon Kings as they vow to keep their love safe and protect the innocent.

An Unlikely Alliance – Entertaing Historical

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
January 14, 2016

I don’t remember the last time I read a romantic historical and I forget how fun and entertaining they can be, although I lean more towards contemporary. Don’t recall if I’ve read Patricia Bray, but she definitely had an impact on me with her “An Unlikely Alliance”.

AnUnlikelyalliance-PatriciaBray-Sept2015

A gypsy fortune-teller, Mademoiselle Magda has created quiet a stir with her predictions. Lot of her patrons may be charmed with her, but Lord Kerrigan has his doubts, yet one of her predictions actually has him question her skill and integrity. As he starts spending more time with her and makes himself invade her personal space, danger seems to creep between Lord Kerrigan and Magda. Trying to get to the bottom of a villainous plan puts Magda in danger and brings into the protective folds of Lord Kerrigan.

A charming and entertaining story, Magda and Kerrigan keep us captivated with their witty banter, sassy behavior and sublime passion. A definite read and adding one more author to my list.

Know’n’ Of The Evil Among Us

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
January 12, 2016

Kendra Elliot’s “Bone Secrets Series” is a “Chilling” ride of “Buried” secrets, “Hidden” twists and finding yourself “Alone” with cold blooded murderers. With twisted minds they stay “Veiled” among the “Known”. If her villains make you wonder in sheer amazement of how perverted, warped, and disturbed they can be, her heroes and heroines make us believe in the good that exists and the courage and bravery that her protagonists show to protect their loved ones.

Known-BoneSecrets6-KendraElliot-Jan2016

Her latest release, “Known” coming out on January 19, 2016 takes us on the ride of the un’Known’ when Gianna Trask and her teenage daughter are saved by Chris Jacobs. Waking up in the stormy Cascade Mountains, Gianna has no recollection of her rented cabin being burned to the ground and her daughter saving her life. And when the charred remains of a body comes to light in the burnt cabin, its time call in the law and re-visit Gianna’s past.

Chris Jacobs is no stranger to evil and brutal pain. His physical scars may have faded, but his mental scars remind of the torture he had endured as a kidnapped victim in his teenage years. And when Gianna and his daughter are threatened, he goes into survival mode and would protect them until his very last breath.

The suspense and rush is just as nerve pumping as the sublime romance between Gianna and Chris. Kendra’s attention to detail is one of her very best traits as a writer, and makes the reading so much more compelling. It’s always wonderful to re-visit her previous characters and read about their lives after they have walked off into the sunset.

Kendra Elliot writes some mean thrillers and suspense and the best of all each book in the series can be read as a standalone. I’ve been following her since her very first book and there’s no doubt of her writing prowess and the fact of her amazing transformation from a novice writer to an acclaimed author is just as wonderful to see in her stories
