La Luxure: Discover Your Blood Lust (Book 1)La Luxure: Discover Your Blood Lust by C.D. Hussey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Thanks to the author for sending me a copy of this awesome book!!!!



Ok....so Julia's an engineer on her way to New Orleans for a comference. She's not really happy with her love life. She's always been with men that are great on paper but too dull for her tastes. Now she's determined to let her hair down and be more spontaneous. One night she stumbles into La Luxure a goth club thats looks like just what she needs. When she meets Armand she decides that he's the perfect candidate for a NOLA affair. But after spending time with him she starts falling for him and he with her. I don't want to give anything away since there's a big bomb dropped at the end. But I will say that this was definitely unlike any vampire/paranormal book Iv read and what a breath of fresh air it was. I thought it was a great love story and I would definitely read more books in this world C.D. Hussey has created...awesome story!!!

Hybrid Misfit by Eve Langlais!!!

Hybrid MisfitHybrid Misfit by Eve Langlais

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Beth lost her humanity to a bunch of "Mad Scientists" that subjected her to experiments giving her a mixture of Succubus, Vamp and Angel DNA. After her escape she's now hunted by her vampire "brothers" for her tasty blood as well as Angels and Demons who think she's the key to a prophecy that will one day bring down the walls between Heaven and Hell.

One night she runs into Simon, a sexy enigma that saves her from a band of vamps out to kidnap her. Once she wakes up in his apartment she also meets his hot roommate Gene...a real life Genie! The two best friends are determined to protect her at all costs and claim her as their woman.

I absolutely loved this story! It was funny and sexy and I enjoyed every minute of it! I thought Simon, Gene and Beth made an awesome Triad! Simon was more on the laid back side while Gene never held anything back! I loved Beth's character as well...she's always down for whatever!

All my soul searching and disturbing conclusions still led back to one key point. I was given a second chance at life, and mutant hybrid or not, possible means to the end of the world or not, I’d live life to the fullest and worry about the consequences later. And that motto meant grabbing the boys by their horns—with a firm grasp—and taking what they offered—naked and enthusiastically.

Tehee...I love it! I always enjoy an Eve Langlais story!! Her heroines are always so witty and funny its awesome!!

My Teaser is from Blood of the Wicked by Karina Cooper. 

When the world went straight to hell, humanity needed a scapegoat to judge, to blame . . . to burn.
As an independent witch living off the grid, Jessie Leigh has spent her life running, trying to blend in among the faceless drudges in the rebuilt city. She thought she was finally safe, but now she's been found in a New Seattle strip club—by a hard-eyed man on a mission to destroy her kind.
A soldier of the Holy Order, Silas Smith believes in the cause: trawling the fringes of society for the murderous witches who threaten what's left of the world. Forced into a twisting web of half-truths and lies, he has to stay close to the most sensuous and electrifying woman he has ever seen and manipulate her into leading him to the witch he has to kill: her brother. Silas doesn't know that Jessie's his enemy, only that he wants her, needs her, even as he lies to her . . . and must protect her until his final breath.

".....Before the shockwaves ebbed, before her brain could regroup, he entered her body. Claimed her, her mouth, her soul.
Claimed the witch he didn't know she was."

There's my Teaser!!

Luckily I had another car to use so I my hubby could get to work...riiiiight! So anyhoo...my jack broke and I didnt have money for a new one at the time so I waited on my Stepdad to get off work so he can change my flat! Which wasnt til Saturday!

In case you're wondering...I live in an apartment complex...not a house! We dont have assigned parking..its first come first serve. So.....Thursday I recieve a sticker on my car that it will be towed because it was on a flat! Does that make sense???Not to ME!!!! So...Im fuming as you could guess..riiiight?!! I call my leasing office/customer service and they tell me that I have to move it asap and will give me two days! This was at like 3pm on Thursday!

Friday....at 9pm I hear a tow truck outside and I stop him from towing my car. He said that managment called them to tow my car!! See a problem yet???

He doesn't tow my car! And Im like Thank God!! I cant afford it! You know how much tows are?? This morning I had I screaming migrane so bad that at 5am I got to walgreens to get some excedrine!! Guess what I find?? Not my fucking car thats what!!! I had to wait til 10am for the customer service to open so that I can cuss them the FUCK out and all I get is a phone number and name to the tow company!!

So I went up there and got a copy of my lease and found nothing in there stating they had the right to tow my car...especially since it was parked legally and only on a flat...at which i was trying to fix!!

$200 later and 5 hours and one pissed off chic and Im finally home with my car and I dont know what to do! I want my fucking money back....I really need to find out what steps to take to fight this..this is bullshit!! Iv been living here for 5 years! My car was on a flat for 3 days and they towed it away like it was nothing!! They dont give a shit!! I just dont understand why they would do this to me!!

Its cars in this complex that havent run in months and theirs still remain and mine is gone after 3 days! 

URGHHH!! I just wanna hurt someone!! 

But never fear!! Will be in the mood to read sooner or later!! Damn bastards fucking up my weekend...anyhoo!!

My teaser if from Danann Frost Embraces the Darkness by Joanne Valiukas....its the 2nd book of the series. The 1st one is called Danann Frost Falls from Grace...its an epic love story about an ancient Vampire falling in love with an Angel and I fell in love with it right away! Danann Frost Embraces the Darkness is the continuation for Danann and Prince Seth's story.

“You said you suffer from empathy as well?” he asked, after absorbing my pathetically sad tale. 
“Yes” I said, nodding. I could see no harm in revealing this to him. “Whenever I touch a living creature, I absorb their emotions. If a human man touches me with feelings of lust... I feel it too. I have been touched by someone who wanted to despoil and kill me before and when he touched me, I wanted it too. I wanted him to do those things to me; I wanted him to rape and kill me.” 

“I thought that vampires could be savages but this... why Danann? Why has this happened to you?” 

“Eamon... I am a Fallen Angel. It is the path I am doomed to walk.” 

“You do not have to walk it alone” he whispered beguilingly. “Allow me to walk it with you.” 


There's my teaser for today...now show me urs! xoxoxo!!

Heart of the Wolf!!

Heart of the WolfHeart of the Wolf by Terry Spear

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Devlyn a gray lupus garou saved Bella a red lupus garou from a wildfire that claimed the life of her entire family. Devlyn's pack takes Bella in and treats her like their own. The leader of the pack Volan wants Bella as his mate and Bella hates his guts. She also is in love with Devlyn and wants to mate with him. One day she decides she no longer wants to deal with Volan's aggressive advances at her and decides to run away from the pack. One-hundred and fifty years later and Bella's still on the run and is still in love with Devlyn. One day she goes out on a run in her red lupus garou form and gets tranqued by a hunter and gets put into a zoo. The hunter thinks Bella is a wild red wolf and wants to bring her to the zoo to mate with another red wolf that lives there..lol! Unfortunately, Volan finds out that she's in the zoo and sends Devlyn to retrieve her. When Devlyn see's Bella he decides right then and there that he's been an idiot for not running away with her and is determined to mate with her!

Of course Bella is in love with him and wants to mate with Devlyn but she knows in doing so...will bring Volans wrath and she doesn't think Devlyn can beat him. Devlyn knows that he can beat him and take over the pack and tries to get Bella to see reason and return to the pack so he can fight Volan to the death once and for all and be together forever.

On top of all of that there's a pack of red lupus garou in the area and one of them is murdering red-headed human females and trying to change them so that they can mate. Soon as they find out about Bella the leader of said pack thinks he has a claim on her since Devlyn and Bella are in their territory. So not only do they have Volan to deal with they also have; a nosy ass neighbor, a zoo keeper looking for a missing red wolf and a pack of horny red lupus garou hot on their trail!

What I loved the most about this werewolf tale was the fact that even though Bella wanted to be mated to Devlyn and vice versa they loved each other for them. Not because they were destined to be together. It was quite refreshing!! Usually in these werewolf tales or any other story about a couple being mated...the urge to mate came first. It was great to see a couple being in love with each other and willing to fight to the death for some one because they were in love...not destined to be mated!! I really enjoyed this story and the sex was super hot and I would definitely read another book buy this author;)

The Spell!

The Spell (The Big Bad Wolf, #3)The Spell by Heather Killough-Walden

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Dannai is an extremely powerful witch and is keeping a secret. She's also a Dormant(werewolf mate and only one that can bear werewolf children)...she's been dreaming of Lucas Caige. She believes that if she mates with a werewolf then she will loose her power of healing and its not worth it to her. So she hides her dormancy from the werewolf community. A twist of fate puts the two of them together and as her shields go down Lucas finds out that she is a Dormant. Unfortunately, Lucas hates all things to do with magic since his brother was killed by one and he hasn't yet realized that she's a witch. And of course the psycho Gabriel Phelan is hot on Dannai's trail and wants to claim her as well.



This one was good but not as good as The Strip...but I still enjoyed it very much! Lucas is super Hawt and Dannai is a great strong heroine! I don't know why but I just didn't feel it as much as the previous one and I had high hopes for it....definitely a good read though. I like you get to learn more about the supernatural community in this one and things get explained more. I also can't wait to read the next one!

The Strip!!!

The Strip (The Big Bad Wolf, #2)The Strip by Heather Killough-Walden

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Two years has passed and the cursed Malcolm Cole's been exonerated of his accused crimes and has finally found the woman he wants to make his mate, Charlie St.James. Charlie is not only a born werewolf but is also a Dormant. Malcolm thinks she's his best kept secret but soon finds out there's an evil Alpha out there and he's after Charlie as well. He's one of the strongest Alpha's around and he's staked his claim on Charlie whether she likes it or not!





My thoughts:MINOR SPOILERS SO BE WARNED!!



Gabriel Phelan

This one was the best of the series to me because the villain was waaay more sinister! He was completely obsessed with Charlie and had been since she was a child. And he was a complete sadist! He was just evil incarnate. There were some moments when he captures Charlie and subjects her to torture. Malcolm had the chance to mark Charlie as his mate and he finds a Mage to remove the mark from her but it has to be with her consent first. So he makes his minions arouse her sexually and uses a bull whip on her at the same time. He was a complete psycho!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was also some other villains into the mix...The hunters and the enigmatic Akyri(vampires that feed off of weres and witches/warlocks). I also enjoyed the fact that Charlie was a fighter!! She was already a powerful woman in her own right and still had the willpower not to submit to Phelan during his torture. All in all, this series is really awesome and can't wait to read the next one!!

The Heat!!

The Heat (The Big Bad Wolf, #1)The Heat by Heather Killough-Walden

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Lily St.Claire has always wanted her best friends brother...Daniel. But it seems that he doesn't feel the same since he's been with all of her friends but her. After returning back home to Baton Rouge 10 years later she reunites with Daniel and he's made a complete 180. But what Lily doesn't know is that Daniel's a werewolf and she is his attended mate. The only reason he didn't claim her 10 years ago was because he promised his sister that he would leave her alone. But know that Lily's all grown up and back in town all bets are off! He's going to make her his no matter the cost.



Unfortunately, Lily is a Dormant(an attended werewolf mate and the only ones that can bare werewolf children) and Daniel's not the only Alpha out there trying to claim a mate. There's a killer on the loose in Baton Rouge and he's after Lily so Daniel forces his mark on her for protection...but werewolves aren't the only ones out there. Hunters are also targeting Dormants and werewolves to eradicate their race.



I was completely caught off guard by this werewolf tale. I wasnt super excited to read it but it was 99cents, Im a book junkie so I bought it anyway. And Im soooo glad that I did....I loved every minute of it. The romance was great and I was totally sucked in. What I loved about the heroine was that even though she's human and can't possibly defeat a werewolf she has balls and tries it anyway. For instance. When Malcom Cole takes Lily captive she burns his house down to escape..ballsy if you ask me!! There was a little mystery thrown in there too. There's a serial killer on the loose and all fingers point to Malcolm Cole. He's a famous mystery/thriller author and an Alpha werewolf who suposedly is a murderer who uses his exploits for his books...the problem is the Werewolf Council can't catch him in the act so they just leave him be. But later you find out that he's really not a killer and is plagued with a nasty curse. All in all I am definitely going to start the next one asap and am now a fan of the Big Bad Wolf series;)

Teaser Tuesday!!

My Teaser comes from the 3rd book of The Big Bad Wolf series  by  Heather Killough-Walden...I just finished it this morning and loved it!
She could hear her own ragged breathing in the warm, quiet air of the torch-lit chamber. She could hear her heart hammering at her ribs. And she could hear his own thunderous rumble, low and long as he lowered his head, scorched her with his red eyes, and smiled. “Play with fire, little witch,” he warned her. He yanked hard and fast and she slid forward so that the tip of his manhood slipped past her defenses. She gasped, cried out, and he lowered his head to her collarbone. “You get burned.” 

So there's my teaser and I hope yall like it as much as muah;)

Megan just can't seem to find Mr. Right! All of her previous ex's were dogs and the most recent is no exception. On a late night cruise with her beau is supposed to be romantic riiight?? Not for Megan since said boyfriend pushes her overboard and leaves her to drown! After treading water for hours she sees bright light in the sky...thinking shes finally saved and not caring that its actually a space ship and she's about to be abducted.

Tren's a mercenary turned space pirate and in need of some excitement instead of the redundancy he's been plagued with. But when he finds the acerbic Megan caught in his net he is determinded to get rid of her and auction her off to the highest bidder at his earliest opportunity. But her bluntness and sexy curves are becoming a distraction and he's not so sure he wants to give her up just yet. So much so that when an enemy kidnaps her he's determined to get her back at all costs.

Of course I loved it...whats not to love. The banter between Megan and Tren was priceless. I laughed so much!!

I found myself wanting be ravished by my own purple alien! I can't wait for Juro's story!!
