Review of “Hot on Her Trail” – Sable Hunter

Amazon Link (Paperback) 
Amazon Kindle Edition
Author’s Website

 

Book Description
 

Jacob McCoy wishes for a wife and a family. Tis the Season for miracles when a young woman shows up on his doorstep: homeless, in danger and expecting a child – Jacob’s child.

Their relationship is complicated by the fact that, A – they’ve never met before and B – she’s a virgin. Jessie is determined not to be a burden to the McCoy family. As far as she’s concerned, she is just passing through. Jacob has a different opinion – he wants Jessie in his life, in his bed and in his heart.

 
Review
 
Jacob, a man with a heart of gold and a rock hard body, was so damn likable. He was sweet and loving to everyone, so how could Jessie not fall head over heels in love with him. 
 
Jessie, she’s had a rough go in life. Her childhood was not a dream and her adult life was no breeze either. I’m glad she found her knight and life could finally turn around for her.
 
As for the plot, I read the story and my first thought was….”I hope sperm banks aren’t really this disorganized. That’s some crazy, messed up crap.” As for the idea behind the story, I thought it was fresh. I don’t recall ever reading a plot anything close to this one. Good job, Sable.

Merry Christmas, Alex Cross by James Patterson (Book Review)

Amazon – Hardcover Link
 
 
It’s Christmas Eve and Detective Alex Cross has been called out to catch someone who’s robbing his church’s poor box. That mission behind him, Alex returns home to celebrate with Bree, Nana, and his children. The tree decorating is barely underway before his phone rings again–a horrific hostage situation is quickly spiraling out of control. Away from his own family on the most precious of days, Alex calls upon every ounce of his training, creativity, and daring to save another family. Alex risks everything–and he may not make it back alive on this most sacred of family days. Alex Cross is a hero for our time, and never more so than in this story of family, action, and the deepest moral choices. MERRY CHRISTMAS, ALEX CROSS will be a holiday classic for years to come.
 
 
Review:
 
Once again, James packed a lot of action and suspense into 300+ pages. In the first section of this holiday story, Alex was called to a hostage situation involving a strung out and guilt-ridden dad who was terrorizing his children, ex-wife, her new husband, and a neighbor. There was blood shed but thankfully, no child was physically harmed. Mentally though, they won’t be healing anytime soon which as a parent, broke my heart. I hate to see children in any sort of pain. 
 
In the next two sections, Alex once again took on Hala. You might recognize the terrorist name from “Kill Alex Cross”. I won’t divulge what sinister plot her and her comrades have orchestrated but I will say unorthodox methods were used to thwart their plans. Even Alex couldn’t believe the means taken to gain entail. 
 
Mark your calendars – “Alex Cross, Run” comes out February 18, 2013.

Review of “She’s on the Ball” – Shiralyn J. Lee

Amazon Kindle Link

Book Description (from Amazon site)

Warning this lesbian drama contains erotic scenes and strong language.

This is a story about a female football player, Jacks. She is the goalie for Islington Ravers, a small team fighting for a chance to be noticed. Her life is disrupted when she discovers that her girlfriend of two years has done something so unthinkable to betray her.
This is a lesbian erotic drama that will take you on a journey filled with love, hate and romance.
The sex scenes and language are explicit and not intended for anyone wishing to purchase your usual mainstream erotica.

Review

If you’re looking for a straight up love story with
only happy moments, then this isn’t the story for you. In this short story,
Jacks encounters MANY lows before she meets “the one” aka Beth. She
has to deal with a cheating girlfriend, a boss from Hell, and much more. After
reading this, I’m sure you’ll be thanking your lucky stars you haven’t been
dealt her cards. If you have, I feel for you. 
With any erotica story, you expect sex scenes and
Shiralyn delivered on those several times over. Jacks was a very busy gal. 🙂

For the football scenes, I know next to nothing about the sport but I felt like, at times, I was watching a match. Good job!

Review of “Secret Sins” – Lora Leigh

Amazon Print Link
Amazon Kindle Link
Lora Leigh’s Website

Blurb:
Sheriff Archer Tobias has watched the Callahan family struggle to find peace and acceptance in the community—despite the murders that continue to haunt them. But his darkest suspicions grow worse when Anna Corbin, a member of one of the country’s most influential families, becomes the next target…


Anna knows she’s in danger. She knows she’s on a trail of secrets and lies that could lead to a dead end. But no matter what, she’s determined to learn the identity of the killer—even if it’s someone she loves…
Torn between duty and desire, Sheriff Tobias cannot allow Anna to put herself in the path of a deranged murderer. But as the investigation pulls them closer together—and deeper into the nightmare—he realizes that he cannot save her from this legacy of blood and vengeance…without putting his own life on the line.

Review:
Whether you crack open a LL book or read it on your e-reader, there are certain things fans are accustomed to find in her stories – sexy and sexual characters, twists and turns in the plots, and oodles of intense love scenes. Once again, LL did not disappoint. Without giving away spoilers, I will say we find out more into the reasoning behind the Slasher targeting the Callahan cousins, their loved ones, and any one who’s been sexual involved with them. 


Is this the end of the Slasher? Well, I can’t very well tell you that. You’ll just have to read it and see for yourself.

Review of “Shadow’s Claim” – Kresley Cole

 
Kresley Cole’s website
Amazon Purchase Link
 
 
HE WON’T BE DENIED

Trehan Daciano, known as the Prince of Shadows, has spent his life serving his people—striking in the night, quietly executing any threat to their realm. The coldly disciplined swordsman has never desired anything for himself—until he beholds Bettina, the sheltered ward of two of the Lore’s most fearsome villains.

SHE’S BOUND TO ANOTHER

Desperate to earn her guardians’ approval after a life-shattering mistake, young Bettina has no choice but to marry whichever suitor prevails—even though she’s lost her heart to another. Yet one lethal competitor, a mysterious cloaked swordsman, invades her dreams, tempting her with forbidden pleasure.

A BATTLE FOR HER BODY AND SOUL

Even if Trehan can survive the punishing contests to claim her as his wife, the true battle for Bettina’s heart is yet to come. And unleashing a millennium’s worth of savage need will either frighten his Bride away—or stoke Bettina’s own desires to a fever pitch. . . .

 
 

If you love the IAD (Immortals After Dark), then you are going to adore the first in a series about “The Dacians”. In Shadow’s Claim, we are introduced to the very interesting clan. Trehan Daciano, last born to the House of Shadows and the first to get his own story, is sexy – extremely lethal – devoted – sweet – and his grand apartment was once the royal library. Freaking cool place to call home! 

Bettina, the heroine, is a sorceress who has lost her magical power due to….. (not saying – no spoilers).  However, Bett is not without power. She has the ability to create the most intriguing weapons and jewelry. 

I don’t want to give too much away about the story BUT I will say the story revolves around a tournament for her hand in marriage. However, it’s not a cut and dry case of Trehan going in and whooping some ass. That wouldn’t be as gripping as the story she presented to us. Let me tell you, it’s a page turner! 

This story, as with all her others, was superbly written. No detail was left out. She once again dazzled us with her imagination in regards to locations, characters, and plots.
