Nautier and Wilder by Lora Leigh and Jaci Burton (Book Review)

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh returns to the relentlessly scorching backdrop of her Nauti Boys series with an all-new novella of a man—bad to the bone—and the one woman who knew he was trouble. That’s why she couldn’t let him go.
 
New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton once again blisters the asphalt with an all-new novella in her Wild Riders series. A hot biker craves a life of passion and danger—and finds it with the woman he’s sworn to protect.

 

 
Review of Lora Leigh’s Nauti Siren
 
When I sit down to read a LL story, I know I can expect plenty of action in and out of the sheets. Nauti Siren had plenty of both. The epilogue had me zooming over to her website for insight when Lyrica’s story was slated for release because I must know who entered her room.
 
 
Review of Jaci Burton’s Riding to Sunset
 
Before reading this short story, I wasn’t familiar with The Wild Riders Series. However after I finished it, I went straight to Amazon and put the series on my TBR list. Yes, I was that impressed with her creation. It had heat and suspense. A very intriguing read!

Alex Cross, Run by James Patterson (Book Review)

DON’T LOOK, ALEX CROSS
Top plastic surgeon Elijah Creem is renowned for his skills in the operating room, and for his wild, no-expense-spared “industry parties,” bringing in underage exotic dancers and models for nights of drugs, champagne, and uninhibited sex. That is, until Detective Alex Cross busts one of Creem’s lavish soirees and ruins his fun. Now Creem is willing to do anything to avoid going to jail.

 

DON’T THINK, ALEX CROSS
But Alex doesn’t have time to dwell on that case. A beautiful woman has been found murdered in her car, a lock of her hair viciously ripped off. Then a second woman is found hanging from a sixth-floor window with a brutal scar slashed across her stomach. When a third mutilated body is discovered, rumors of three serial killers on the loose send Washington D.C. into an all-out frenzy.

 

JUST RUN
Alex is under so much pressure to solve these three grim cases that he hasn’t noticed that someone else investigating him-someone so obsessed and so twisted that they’ll do anything-ANYTHING- to get the vengeance they require. Alex Cross, Run is James Patterson’s most unrelenting story yet-a white-hot, sensational thrill ride with the most extreme and gripping characters Patterson has ever brought to life.

 
 
 
 
For me, James has struck gold with the latest installment in the Alex Cross’ series. Yes, he revealed who the three perps were early on but I didn’t mind at all. Their story played out remarkably well. His characters had depth again which I felt were lacking in some of his other stories as of late. 
 
Once again, I found myself longing for a few more pages.
 
Marvelous job, JP!

Beauty Awakened by Gena Showalter (Book Review)

His name is Koldo. He is scarred, powerful, his control legendary-and he lives only for vengeance, determined to punish the angel who viciously removed his wings. But if he yields to the forces of hatred, he will be kicked from the heavens, eternally damned.

She is his last hope. Nicola Lane was born with a defective heart, yet this fragile human shows surprising strength as demons stalk her every move, determined to end her. She is the key to Koldo’s deliverance…and his downfall. Though he fights duty, destiny and his first addictive taste of desire, his toughest battle will be the one for Nicola’s life-even if he has to sacrifice his own….


Review:

Koldo’s backstory is beyond horrific. To be physically and verbally abused by your parents, to crave their love but be denied – heartbreaking. After all he had to endure in his life, Koldo came close to letting his anger and revenge cloud his heart completely until Nicola entered his life and captured his heart, imprinting herself in his soul. 

As we know from Gena’s other stories, her female characters are not weak. Nicola’s path took a surprising turn towards the end of the book and I know it will please many readers. 

Now for those who are having Lords of the Underworld withdrawals, William of the Dark aka  the Ever Randy does make a cameo appearance. The passage with him and Thane is short but highly entertaining. 

The final pages of the story will definitely make the Lords fans happy. Oh Kane, I can’t wait to dive into your story, The Darkest Craving. (July 30th, 2013)

Edge of Dawn by Lara Adrian (Book Review)

Book Description
Release date: February 26, 2013 | Series: Midnight Breed (Book 11)

In this pulse-pounding and thrillingly sensual novel, New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian returns to the mesmerizing world of the Midnight Breed, following new characters into a dark future where an uneasy peace can unravel into war—and a great betrayal can mask an all-consuming love.

Twenty years after the terror of First Dawn—when mankind learned that vampires lived secretly among them—the threat of violence reigns as the two species struggle to coexist. The only group preserving the fragile harmony is the Order, an elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to protecting humans and vampires alike. And in this precarious world of torn loyalties and shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds that every fight bears an intensely personal cost.

Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the warrior’s code of swift—and even lethal—justice. But the one thing she desires more than the Order’s hard-won acceptance is Kellan Archer, a sexy but troubled Breed fighter. In love with him since childhood, Mira once broke through his tough exterior during an unexpected night of rapture, but the next day he mysteriously disappeared, never to return.

Kellan didn’t think he would ever see Mira again—or have to confront the truth of why he left. After abandoning the Order years ago, he now leads a band of human rebels intent on carrying out their own vigilante rule of law. Yet a high-profile kidnapping assignment brings him face-to-face with the past he sought to avoid, and the striking woman he has tried desperately to forget. And as tensions mount and the risk of bloodshed grows, Kellan and Mira must take sides—between the competing missions that dominate their lives, and the electrifying passion that claims their hearts.

Review: 
Like many of you, I’ve been waiting for Mira to grow up and watch her “story” unfold. For those who haven’t checked out the Midnight Breed series, let me tell you about Mira’s gift. She has a unique talent, eyes which foretell the future of the one gazing into them. Not everything seen is pleasant. This tale centers around one sneak peek that rocks the entire Breed family. 
Friends will be betrayed. New enemies will be revealed. The biggest shocker of them all comes at the end of the book. Let me tell you, it is a whopper! 

Folks, you won’t be disappointed in this story. It’s that damn good!

Immortally Embraced by Angie Fox (Book Review)

IN THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES…Even during a truce, Dr. Petra Robichaud has her hands full as the MAS*H surgeon to an army of warring gods—especially when Medusa herself turns up pregnant. Petra has no idea what to expect when a gorgon’s expecting, but she won’t let it turn her to stone. As the healer-hero of an ancient prophesy, it’s Petra’s job to keep the peace. But as the lover to a warrior demi-god, she knows how impossible some jobs can be…

IT’S EVERY GOD FOR HIMSELF. Commander Galen is sexy, strong, and sworn to lead his team to hell and back. But when he announces to Petra that he can no longer risk her life for his love, the doctor is on her own…Until a mysterious new entity—in the form of a hot-blooded male—enters the picture. Can he be trusted? Can he be resisted? Meanwhile, an oracle delivers another prophesy that places Petra back on the frontlines with the man she may be bound to for eternity—in love, or in war…

 
 
 
I have been a huge fan of Angie ever since I stumbled across her Demon Slayer series, which by the way are wicked good books. Check them out!
 
The second installment in the new series, sequel to Immortally Yours, has everything Angie’s fans have come to love about her writing/stories – humor, sexiness, and action. She’s highly creative with her characters and plots. Example – a pregnant Medusa. Yeah, wrap your head around that one. 🙂
 
Since I’m not one for spoilers, I won’t say WHO is keeping Petra company in and out of the sheets. But I will say, you will find out rather quickly and I doubt you will have seen it coming. 
 
After reading this tale, I had only one question that was nagging at me. I have to know the answer so Angie, if you by some chance read this review, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HECK IS A REVERSE ZEUS! The mention of that sexual position had me laughing hard and envisioning things that would make some people blush.
