{Blog Tour} Mini Review: Alabaster Nights by Elle J Rossi

  Sexy Irish vampire meets his match in a smart-mouthed supernatural huntress! ALABASTER NIGHTS is a short but fantastic introduction to Ms. Rossi’s characters Josie and Keller of The Josie Hawk Chronicles and tells the story of how they initially met. Told by alternate POVs, we get a feel for the hero and heroine’s distinct personalities through Ms. Rossi’s great character development. I’m not always a fan of dual narratives (this book includes third and first person), but in this […]

Early Mini Review: Grimm Consequences by Kate SeRine

Nate made me love him more (didn’t think it was possible) with his POV in GRIMM CONSEQUENCES! GRIMM CONSEQUENCES takes place shortly after the first book in the series, RED and gives us a glimpse into Nate Grimm’s past and his relationship with Tess (Red). We learn more about his character, including his life as a Reaper and the sacrifices he’s made and continues to make out of love for Tess. I usually expect the male POV to be a bit […]

Mini Review: Ivory by Lola Dodge

Another sexy superhero adventure for the Manhattan Ten! Anxiously awaiting the next installment! This second installment in the Manhattan Ten series continues with the sexiness of the heroes we enjoyed in Temptress, but is actually set before making it a sort of prequel. The book is appropriately named for its heroine, Ivory (real name Valdis). She’s a sassy flight attendant who has the ability to manipulate ice. Valdis tries her best to live a “normal” life but gets herself into […]

Mini Review: Diary of a Narcissistic Bloodsucker by Lynda Hilburn

Mini Review: Diary of a Narcissistic Bloodsucker by Lynda Hilburn

This was a fun and sexy glimpse into the world of a sensual female vampire! I was hooked on this novella from page one and mourned the ending. Zara is a great heroine who knows who she is and does not apologizes for it. She’s smart, sexy, quite often arrogant in her narration, but you just can’t seem to hate her! Her charisma and great sense of humor brings a lightness to the usual “woe is me” vampire tale. Diary […]
