Goodreads Blurb: An angel without a mission, Apollyon lives trapped in Hell guarding the bottomless pit. Surrounded by endless darkness, he longs to fly free on Earth once more but his master hasn’t called him in centuries. When the call finally comes, it’s to serve a new master, a beautiful woman he has often watched over, a woman who has always captivated him.

Serenity is shocked when a gorgeous black-winged angel shows up in her city of Paris claiming that she called him when she was only casting a simple vengeance spell. He’s no other than the angel of death! When Apollyon offers to obey her and help her have revenge on her cheating ex-boyfriend, she can’t resist the temptation, but can she resist him? Can an angel as dark as Apollyon ever fall for a mortal woman like her?

Their charade as lovers quickly becomes reality when one dance leads to another and Apollyon proves that he’s as sinful as he looks. His sensual and hungry touch brings Serenity back to life, freeing her from the hurt of being betrayed and reigniting her passion, but she can’t ignore her growing fear. Lost in their moment together, Apollyon realises that there is a reason he heard her call—he’s in love with her.

But will Serenity see past the wings and believe that Apollyon returns her feelings and won’t hurt her? When her ex-boyfriend asks her to forgive him and be with him again, will she take the easy route or will she find the courage to fly away with her dark angel?

Dark, passionate and erotic, Her Dark Angel is a tale of intense desire and deepest forbidden love guaranteed to get your heart racing.


My Review: I loved this book! It is an excellent start to a series that many paranormal readers will adore. Apollyon the amazingly handsome, lonely angel who is the one that answered to Serenity's, the vengeful yet beautiful witches call for assistance to have her revenge on her cheating ex . This book is magically addictive with sensual romance and mild action, without the usual drama. A "must read" for erotic paranormal fans who want a book to excite, touch and linger in their thoughts long after the last page is turned.

Goodreads Blurb: A simple mission becomes a fight for survival in this fantastic installment in the Her Angel series.

A guardian angel dedicated to his duty, Marcus will do whatever Heaven asks of him, but even his loyalty has its limits. When his superior orders him to gain Amelia’s trust through seduction, Marcus starts to question his mission and his feelings for the beautiful woman he has watched over since her birth.

Amelia has gone from one bad relationship to another, so when a gorgeous guy moves in next door looking like Mr Right, she hopes he doesn't turn out to be another black knight in disguise. But there’s more to Marcus than meets the eye, and when he rescues her from three demonic men, Amelia is thrust into his nightmarish world—a world where God and the Devil exist, and only one angel can save her from death—Marcus, the angel she’s falling in love with.

On the run from demonic angels and the Devil himself, aided by Marcus’s angel friends and their amazing women, fighting for survival against the odds, Marcus and Amelia discover a love that will last forever.

A love so strong it will shake Heaven and Hell.

My Review: Her Guardian Angel is one of the most touching sensual, romantic and beautiful stories I have ever read to date. Especially when it comes down to heaven and hell and master and servant, it’s truly an original take on any relationship I've ever read and am still deeply touched even days after having read it. Such an amazing battle for love and what is right. Friends come together to battle for what they believe in and it does not stop there! This is by far my favorite of the series so far, so wonderfully written in a way only Felicity can accomplish and I cannot wait to see what is in store for us next!

Goodreads Blurb: A demonic angel with a heart of ice, Veiron walks a dark path with vengeance on his mind. Nothing will sway him from his mission to destroy his master... until he risks his life to enter Hell once more to save a mortal female. The fiery beauty makes him burn with hungers he must battle and needs he cannot deny, tempting him to surrender body and soul to her.

Erin is convinced her refusal to do the Devil’s bidding will see her die in a terrifying realm straight out of her nightmares. The last thing she expects is the lethally sensual warrior who breaks into her cell and awakens the darkest desires of her heart and a fierce longing to know the heat of his caress.

Pulled into an incredible world where war is set to ignite and darkness is on the rise, Erin races with Veiron to escape the Devil’s legions in a journey fraught with danger and filled with passion that flares white-hot.

When Erin is faced with a life-shattering realisation and an extraordinary destiny, will their love give them the strength to battle both Heaven and Hell or will they be parted forever?

My Review: This is the second book I've ever read from Felicity Heaton and I LOVED IT!! Her writing is smooth and flawless, extremely descriptive and vivid. She's created some super sexy, alpha demons (and angels) that even a demon hater would drool over! Fun, funny, exciting, emotional, sensual and shocking are the words that flood my mind as I am thinking out this here review. I even have a song to represent Erin and Veiron. For those who are curious it’s The Black Keys’ Everlasting Light, I feel it fits perfectly for this duo :)

Erin was kidnapped by the devil’s men and held captive in a dark, dreary and frightening three walled cell in the one and only hell! Unsure of why such a thing would happen to her, she questions her captors and fights her very best for answers, getting none! One day an amazingly hot and vicious male enters her cell and says he’s there to save her. After some thought she goes with him. From there much unravels, truths come to surface and her heart is stolen by the last being she'd ever imagined knowing never mind falling for.


Veiron is a fallen. A very dominant, unyielding and determined one at that. He’s hell bent on revenge of the why he’s a part of Heaven and hells eternal game. He has no time nor any desire for a woman in his life. He just wants to accomplish his revenge and take it from there. But once he lays his eyes on Erin all of that becomes a distant thought. He tends to fight it a lot, but finds it difficult. What is it about this woman that draws him to her and why now?


Now I have to go back and get myself the rest of the series and ALL of Felicity’s work. I find myself hooked and feel any other paranormal reader out there will end up in the same position as me once they've read Felicity’s work!

Review Lace & Leather by Leanore Elliot

Goodreads Blurb:
AN EROTIC PARANORMAL WESTERN

A Hot Ride Through The Wild Frontier…
Jess (Leather) was on a bloody trail to track down his father's savage killers. A woman unlike any he’d ever known before, seems to appear out of the blue and captures his attention. But is she his to keep? Will he give her up to have his revenge?

My Review: A fun time of past meeting present. So full of excitement, humor and heat it was hard to put down! There were so many lines that had me laughing but one of my favorite is "John freakin' who?" Which is what Jess (aka Leather) asks Lacey when she compares him to John Wayne.

Jess is a hardcore cowboy (even though he denies it) that is hell bent on revenge for the murder of his father. Along the way of tracking down the murderers he spots Lacey right in the path of his horse and snatches her up with him on a spur of the moment decision. Once he has Lacey in his life he becomes side tracked (at first without realizing it) because of how drawn he is to her. This feeling is unfamiliar to him for he's never experienced anything like it before.

Lacey is a modern day woman full of spunk and sharp wit. She cannot believe how easy it is to even just look at the hunk of a cowboy before her, nor does she want to stop! She also finds herself with feelings she's never experienced before for the hunk of a cowboy named Jess.

Together they go back and forth to each other’s time. Fear of losing one another runs deep for both of them because the time travel unpredictable. But the time they have together is very well spent in each other’s arms and hearts.

Review Enforcer's Redemption by Carrie Ann Ryan

Author: Carrie Ann Ryan

Goodreads Blurb: Adam Jamenson has suffered through the worst loss known to man. The only reason he lives day-to-day is to ensure the safety of his Pack. As the Enforcer of the Redwood Pack, it is his job to protect all in his path, though he was unable to protect the ones he held dear. The war with the Centrals is heating up and Adam must try and grit through it in order to survive. Though the broken man inside of him may not want to…

Bay Milton is a werewolf with a past. And a secret. She’s met the Redwood’s Enforcer only once, but it left a lasting effect. Now she needs to find him or everything he had thought he lost, may be lost again.

Together, they must struggle and find a way to fight their pasts and present in order to protect their future. But the Centrals have a plan that might make their path one of loss and destruction.


My Review: An amazing addition to the Redwood Pack series, it is so well and thoroughly written it can be read as a stand-alone. The pages are loaded with the elements typical of this series: surprises, sensuality, paranormal, family, excitement and much more. Adam comes off as a harsh male at first, so wounded in the past with an impenetrable shield has around his heart. Bay is a sweet, kind hearted, beautiful and strong female with the desire to do what is right. With secrets of her own to protect, (who doesn’t?) her determination and strength may just penetrate Adam’s heart. But she must convince the Redwood pack to help in her time of need. Bay has a challenge on her hands with this pack and it’s Enforcer, Adam. A challenge that I feel she can more than meet effectively.

Review Blood Betrayed (Sons of Navarus series #2) By Gabrielle Bisset

Goodreads Blurb: 
I am everything forbidden. I am a haunted creature.
I am darkness and shadow.
I am vampire.

I am everything forbidden. I am vampire.

Haunted by betrayal, Saint hides in the human world, giving his heart to no one and finding the only solace from his past in the arms of human women. Now as the Archons begin their takeover of the vampire world, this Son of Navarus has been marked for death.

Summoned to defeat the Archons by the world that shunned him, Saint must face his past and Solenne, the woman he loved and lost a century ago, for only in accepting her will his body and soul finally find salvation.


My Review: This is the second book in the Sons of Navarus series (third if you include Vampire Dreams Revamped) and I’m still fully enjoying the series. Gabrielle is keeping the series going strong; packed full of action, surprises, hot alpha vampires, romance and hot sex that make for a great read for any fan of the genre.

Saint is a hottie of an alpha vampire that has been shunned, forced to live among humans and away from his kind for years. He’s lived his years taking only human blood and human woman to his bed, none of his kind, ever again. His heart is held by the one and only vampire he’s ever touched and will never have again. But when danger forces her back into his life, he has no choice but to face her and their past; a past that haunts him to no end.

Solenne is a beautiful, loving and loyal female vampire that will do anything for those she loves. Sired by Teagan (Saints brother), and alone due to his passing. She agrees to help the Sons save Saint from an undue fate. It hurts her deeply to see him again, but still, she’d do anything in her power to keep him safe; even if it means sacrificing parts of herself.

This is my favorite of the series so far. Love the history, chemistry and story between Saint and Solenne. Both have learned a lot from what they’ve been through and neither will let the past determine their fated future. More please :)

I am everything you desire. I am vampire.

Powerful and manipulative, Vasilije does as he pleases. A vampire beholden to no one, he takes what he desires, drinking deeply the pleasures this life has to offer.

When one of his own is staked, Vasilije must travel to New Orleans to exact his revenge. There he meets Sasa, a beautiful woman who arouses him like no other has for centuries. Vasilije's need for vengeance is equaled only by his passion for her, but what he finds in his revenge is just the beginning...



My Review: An OMG amazing erotic vampire novel by Gabrielle Bisset that's guaranteed to keep your interest as if it's the first vampire story you've ever read! I highly recommend it to be read by any and all fans of vampires, paranormal and romance (especially if you like the good looking alpha types).

Sasa has not been able to have much of a life since her mother's illness. She has no social life what-so-ever and basically revolves ALL around her mother. That is until she makes a deal with a female vampire to help her save her mother's life and stop her suffering.

Vasilije is a very old vampire that really is hot stuff! He is very powerful and knows exactly how to get what he wants. When he wants it! But what happens when he becomes unsure of what he wants? The unexpected that's what  :)

Guest post with Krystal Shannan








Excerpt 


 Samantha Demakis wrinkled her nose at the barrage of scents coming from the Christmas hordes invading McCarran International Airport. She swallowed a growl of frustration and tightened the leash on her inner wolf. Everybody and their brother traveled for Christmas, and she didn’t like being one of them. She should have stayed at Duke. Her gut told her it was a mistake to come home.
Duke Medical School was her haven away from all this crazy.
People jostled her from all angles. Her rolling suitcase flipped over and she leaned back to right it. In the process, someone snatched her blue leather jacket from the carpeted floor and dashed away.
Shit. Really?
She straightened and scanned the crowd in the direction the thief had run.
Nothing.
“Miss.”
Sam turned and looked to her left. Holy mother of hotness! Six and a half feet of beautiful man, dressed in a muscle-hugging beige thermal shirt and army camo pants, stood holding her royal-blue leather jacket. She curled her lips into a smile. His scent was magnetic, and she hurried toward him.
“Thank you so much.” She reached for the jacket, brushing her fingers along his hand on purpose. “I thought it was gone for good.” His blue eyes widened just for a moment. A charge had passed between them. She’d never felt anything like it before. Her wolf howled and slammed against her consciousness. It took every scrap of will power not to launch herself at him. The canine soul within her wanted him right now and so did she. The mate connection between them was strong. No, no, no. I don’t want a mate right now.
“No problem, Miss…”
“Demakis, Sam Demakis, ummm… Samantha. Sorry.” She stumbled over her name like a love-struck sixteen-year-old instead of the perfectly capable twenty-five-year-old she was.
“Ask his name.” Her wolf urged.
He gave her a gentle grin. “It’s fine, Sam. Nice to meet you, I’m Chase Michaels.”
“I’m surprised I didn’t notice you on the plane.” It was strange that she hadn’t caught his scent earlier. But it was probably because she tried for the most part to avoid other wolves.
Chase chuckled. “I don’t tend to ride in first class.”
Sam felt her cheeks warm. He’d known she was there. Maybe being away from the pack really was making her lazy, but she loved not having to deal with the stress of the politics.
“Thank you again,” she said and found herself lost in his sparkling bright blue eyes. No, focus. Medical school, not a man.

Review Summer Surrender (Phases #6) By Bronwyn Green

Goodreads Blurb: Phases Series, Book Six

Hollis Chambers came to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to teach summer school at a small rural high school. She’d planned on hanging out on the shores of Lake Superior, taking walks in the woods and studying the wildlife. She never imagined that she’d meet one man, let alone two, to have a hot summer fling with.

Lynx shifters Daniel Cichosz and Josiah Wilder know a good thing when they see it and they’re fairly certain that the gorgeous, full-figured substitute teacher is just who they’ve been looking for. Hollis surrenders to their seduction, but how will she feel about being mated to shifters, particularly when Daniel’s brother is added to the mix?


My Review: Bronwyn wrote us a great ménage story that only she has the magical way of presenting to us. An absolute perfect blend of humor, companionship and sex that leaves you craving for more! A stand-alone read that any fan of the genre will enjoy. Just be sure to have a nice cool drink by word side, it gets pretty hot ;)


 Hollis took a job working in a rural school district teaching biology to teenagers. She is content to be away from the fast paced and noisy surroundings of New York City. She is also happy to be close once again to her friend Maggie. But at the same time she is (happy) yet envious of the relationship Maggie now has. Which is two very hot (and then some) men.

Daniel and Josiah work in the school where Hollis is for the summer. They both take an immediate liking to Hollis once she enters the school. They both have secrets that they are not yet willing to share and hoping Hollis will not find out about. But both want her with untamed desire.

Now there is Dylan (Daniel's brother). He's one tough dude! He has a hard time moving forward from the past, but Hollis manages to crack that hard shell of his and open him, his heart and mind to the possibility of happiness in the future.

Goodreads Blurb: If two’s company and three’s a crowd, then four is bound to be…deadly.

Special Agent Reese Bailey has a new assignment…one not under the jurisdiction of the federal bureau. She’s been hired to identify the person trying to kill the members of one of the hottest rock bands hitting the charts, and three of the hottest men she’s ever laid eyes on. Keeping her distance would be hard if she wasn’t certain they’d come to the same conclusion as all her past encounters…she’s just too different to make the cut.

Mace, Nash and Landon aren’t sure what to think of the incredibly smart federal agent who walks into their life, and into their hearts, they only know she’s the one they’ve been waiting for. It’s clear she’s a professional, not to mention a child protégé who can read their body language while figuring projectile paths in her head. And she’s not one to mix duty with pleasure.

But they aren’t taking no for an answer, not when their souls are on the line. Reese proves to be everything they've ever imagined and more. But the stakes are higher than any of them realize and if she can’t track down the stalker in time, the boys won’t be the only ones playing for keeps.


My Review:  
This is by far my favorite ménage quartet ever (yes, I called them a quartet. You will have to read it to see why *wink)!! A fast paced, action packed, steam inducing erotic read that had me snagged from start to finish. I love the mind of Kris Norris and the sensual worlds she creates!

Nash, Mace and Landon are part of a hot popular band that have lived through a very traumatic experience and have changed drastically because of it. Reese is a single woman with a spine of steel; a heart just as strong and determined that has also recently been through a traumatic experience. She has been unable to work for some time due to an injury obtained on the job. She's asked to help out to solve and protect Trinity from an "admirer". Little do they all know what fate has in store for them all as they all embark on a mysterious adventure to solve the who of the person(s) behind many attempts to kill the Trinity.
A definite must read for all erotic fans out there ;)

Blurb:

Owen Shaunessy stretched luxuriously and yawned, his usual habit of sweeping the view beyond the triple glazed windows of his apartment was impossible to achieve today, the world outside held no interest. Today was different, instead of resting his gaze on the city skyline, which seldom failed to arrest him, he rolled over, raised himself up onto one elbow, rested his head in his hand and stared down in awe at the beautiful, sleeping form of the girl alongside him, her warm body, touching his, causing a painful ache in his cock. He needed to take a slash, but resisted the urge; hardly daring breathe, as he looked along her body in repose, lingering over the heavenly portions barely covered with the sheets.

One impossibly long, lithe, smooth leg was stretched out in a nod to the heat of the night, obviously needing the air conditioning cooling her skin. ‘She certainly looks after herself,’ thought Owen, the perfect pedicure of her pretty, pink toes, and her French manicure advertised Anna Carmichael’s meticulous beauty regime. Warning: Adult content unsuitable for readers under the age of 18.


My Review:

I just realized I read this out of order and find myself having to, no needing to read the first (Lust-It’s a Sin) and anything that comes after, ASAP! I think it’s actually a good thing this happened; I can now officially say I was not lost even though I missed the first part of the series (that’s a great thing to be able to say!) Gluttony-It’s a Sin is an extremely sexy, imaginative and engrossing short that leaves you wanting much more :)

The sex is very intense and Owen indulges in all ways possible with Anna. He does not want to let go of her or have her out of his sight for a moment. She does things to him he has never felt before and has a feeling she feels the same way.

Be ready for a wild and sexy ride, one that any erotic fan will enjoy treating themselves to.
