The Angel - Tiffany Reisz



The Angel - Tiffany Reisz

About the book:
No safe word can protect the heartInfamous erotica author and accomplished dominatrix Nora Sutherlin is doing something utterly out of character: hiding. While her longtime lover, Søren—whose fetishes, if exposed, would be his ruin—is under scrutiny pending a major promotion, Nora's lying low and away from temptation in the lap of luxury.

Her host, the wealthy and uninhibited Griffin Fiske, is thrilled to have Nora stay at his country estate, especially once he meets her traveling companion. Young, inexperienced and angelically beautiful, Michael has become Nora's protégé, and this summer with Griffin is going to be his training, where the hazing never ends.

But while her flesh is willing, Nora's mind is wandering. To thoughts of Søren, her master, under investigation by a journalist with an ax to grind. And to another man from Nora's past, whose hold on her is less bruising, but whose secrets are no less painful. It's a summer that will prove the old adage: love hurts.

5/5

My Review:

This the second novel in her series does not leave the reader disappointed in fact it leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat for more from Reisz. I fell in love with the series after reading the Siren, but boy does she give us even more here to captivate and fill our time. Not wanting to put it down until it is all completed I found my great love for Nora all over again and as she grows and develops through this series of books I find that she is more and more loveable even though her past is not one to be proud of. The author carries and pulls you through every word making you feel not only the characters but also the surroundings and the depth of the feelings that everyone feels for each other. Yet she manages to tease the senses and give you that little twist that you didn't see coming all of this leading and adding to the suspense you get when you read the last page and realise that for this book you have finished, but you want to carry on reading and find out where Nora is going next and the lengths and steps she will take to get there. Her path is always paved with ruts and pit falls, but somehow she works her way through and comes out the other side stronger and more ready to take on any challenge than she was before. I loved, loved, loved this book and can't praise the author enough for giving us a look into the world of not only Nora but Soren and everyone else who appears and grows throughout these books as their lives intertwine and mesh together. I know I will be running out to get the next instalment.

Wet your taste buds for more......... we have an excerpt for you to check out too. 

Excerpt

There was only one word that could describe the creature standing before him. Wonderful.
“Did you say something?” the woman whispered.
He shook his head. “Nothing, I just can’t believe my luck. You really are real and here with me.”
She smiled, but her smile didn’t extend to her eyes.
Before another heartbeat passed or another breath taken, he stood at her side. With tenderness, he gazed into her gentle, masked face and took both of her hands in his. He was humbled as her fingers trembled even more than his own did. “We don’t have to do this if you’d rather not.”
She smiled wider, and her eyes gleamed with mischief. “I suppose we might as well. After all, we’re already here, and you’re at least halfway undressed.”
Sliding his hands up her arms and around her shoulders to her back, Sarco felt for and found the clasps holding her gown together. With the flick of a wrist, they gave way, and with a swish, the silky fabric fell to her hips exposing lush, rose-tipped breasts. Just the right size to hold in both hands, to fondle, to caress, to taste.
“Hmm, it seems you’re halfway undressed yourself.”



So you've seen the book and read the excerpt what more can I give you I know let's tell you all about the author that wrote the book.

Experience the world of vampires hunter’s, vampires and mythology with Chloe in this exciting series.


Short Excerpt:


I took the first book off the stack and examined the cover. It was titled Vampires throughout History. The cover was leather and so old it was stiff and cracked in spots. The pages showed signs of age too, yellowing and stiff to the touch. There was no table of contents, so it looked like I was going to have to scan the entire book for what I was wanting. I flipped the pages carefully, so as not to tear any of them.
After an hour of scanning and about half way through the book, I found something referring to vampire children.
~~~
Although extremely rare, the natural-born offspring of vampires exist throughout the world. These rare beings are called the dhampir. Dhampir are usually the product of a vampire and mortal. The most common of these unions is a male vampire impregnating a mortal woman. Vampires, both male and female, are seductive in nature and some mortals came willingly to these unions. However, the majority of dhampir born were produced through an act of rape.
Solitary by nature, it is uncommon for a vampire to settle with any one mate for long. The children of vampires, the dhampir, more often than not exhibit all the characteristics of their vampire parent. The strength, speed and agility are the usual hereditary traits that the children develop. They are not always born with these traits but develop them as they grow into adulthood.
The dhampir are day walkers. Some of these children are sensitive to the sunlight but will not perish in the direct rays. Most have no sensitivity at all. Drinking the fresh blood of mortals is also not usually required of the dhampir; however, some have a liking for it. Very few actually need it to survive.
Most dhampir are rejected by the vampire species because of their mortality and weaknesses. Mortals often reject the dhampir, as well, due to their vampirism, so they frequently remain outcast.
Dhampir are known for becoming vampire killers. Their closeness to the vampires and their vampire characteristics make them powerful vampire hunters. The unique ability to track and kill vampires is specific to only the dhampir and the mythological race of vampire hunters.
Historically, dhampir became vampire hunters as a trade. Towns and villages became plagued by vampires who were terrorizing their homes and killing their people. The dhampir accepted contracts in exchange for monetary payment and used their likeness to their vampire counterparts to exterminate the vampires.
~~~
Holy crap, that was a lot to process. The more I read the passages, the more I understood that my being a hunter was more than my heritage; it was my history and my future. Everything about my bloodlines had hunters involved.



 Author Bio:

The Gift - Tiffany Reisz

About the book:

Even if Daniel wants to make Eleanor his, permanently….

5/5

My Review:

This another prequel novella by Tiffany to her best selling series, this novella is a quick and easy read and I know that I loved finding out all about Nora and how she got where she is today. The author managed to capture and keep you wanting more and not wanting to leave this book until you were done, always wanting to find out more about Nora and how she lived in the years running up to the Siren. This book is definitely one not to be missed. The trials and emotions that Nora goes through in her stay and the confusion that it brings when she is left with another while Soren travels away is gripping and heart warming yet it never loses the essence of who and what it is she will become. This book is one to get if you love the series so far and is free to all until the end of Dec 12 so make sure you go and grab a copy now it will be well worth the few minutes it takes. I hold my hands up to Reisz'z writing and the way she manages to convey her stories in such a way that it always leaves you hanging and wanting more no matter what it is of hers that you pick up. She is one author that if you love the genre you can never go wrong with and never need to read the blurb for her books she will always deliver as she does so well and on so many occasions

Derek and Maks - DeeLicious Blog Tour



First lets give a huge welcome to DeeLicious, we have the honour of hosting her here as she takes part in a week long blog tour. Please give her your best welcome and check out the first in a new series of Erotic shorts. 


Here's a little about the author herself:

DeeLicious Bio:

An avid reader of paranormal and erotic romances since college, she has always dreamed of becoming an author.  Joining a role play group gave her the window to write that she’d been looking for and the final push she needed to sit down and write her first short story.



About the book:

What happens when your single, forty-something mom brings home her new boy toy and it’s the hot stud that gave you your first tattoo; the one you’ve been fantasizing about for the last few weeks since turning 18? Will Bianca finally have sex with a real man and not some clumsy high school boy? What will she do when presented with not one, but two, hot muscular men who co-own the tattoo parlor? Turn the pages to find out.









An excerpt straight from the book just to wet your appetite for this great short read

It was Friday night and it was official; her life as she knew it was over.  Caput!  Fini!  Bianca Lucas sighed as she fidgeted in her seat at the dining room table.  Her mother Jane, or Jade as she’d officially changed it to, stood there introducing her new boy toy, Derek. Derek was the tattooed 30-something dream god who’d inked her first tattoo, a sunburst on her left ankle, a little over six weeks ago when she turned 18.  She’d been fantasizing about the hot hunk, ever since.  Bianca tried to sit there keeping her composure, but from her seated position if she turned her head to look at Derek, she’d be eye level with the serious bulge at his groin since he was still standing behind the chair next to hers and had not yet taken his seat.  How could she possibly maintain her demeanor if she was forced to look at that mouthwatering package?  Would her mother just get on with the introductions and tell the walking sex god to sit...PLEASE!

For those that haven't seen it yet here is my review of this short story:

4.5/5

My review:
Having received this book for review, and finding after reading the blurb that it had peaked my interest I can say that it is exactly what it says it is. An erotic novella full of action yet manages not to lose the depth of character development and story-line that comes with any good read. A short yet all consuming book that you will not want to put down until you have finished it, leaving nothing out yet giving you everything you need for your imagination to take hold and form the pictures of everything that is happening. This book will leave you panting and wanting more. The characters are well developed and each have their own personalities that follow along throughout the book, the story-line gives the reader a look into a whole other world that the author has managed to create and build, with well defined picture painting. I can recommend this novella to lovers of the erotic fiction genre, and those wanting a quick lunchtime read (Maybe not while you are at work). Go and give this author a try I don't think you will be disappointed and will be wanting to go back for more of this series. 


Finally those all important where you can get you hands on a copy of the book and where you can go and stalk it's author

The Defiler's Throne - Isobel Lucas



The Defiler's Throne - Isobel Lucas 

About the book:
This is the third in the series following Mary and Ian 

4/5

My Review:
All I can say about this series is that they continue to get better as you go through them. The twists and turns in this book leave you with your mouth hanging open. The author has done a great job of keeping the readers hanging onto her every word, waiting to see what is going to happen next. You can't get the next instalment fast enough and the growing and developing of both Mary and Ian throughout these books is done in such a way you can only fall in love with them and their relationship more and more as you continue to read. Really if you have not checked these out you need to go and get copies they are well worth the read. 

Signs and Portents - Isobel Lucas



Sighs and Portents - Isobel Lucas

About the book:
This is the 2nd book in this short story series......

4/5

My Review:
Being the second book, I must admit I am now completely hooked on this series Mary only grows and grows within herself throughout this short and with her connection to Ian everything flows so well and has you waiting with baited breath to turn the page and find out what is next for this un usual couple. Everything says that they should not be together and not work, yet it all seems so right and real for them to be living as they do. Mary learns more about who she is and where she came from in this book, but it only leads the way to more and better things that I believe will be coming in the rest of the series. I can't wait to pick up and read the next book and I know anyone who starts this series will be hanging in there waiting to find out how everything is going to pan out for this unlikely pair, and what of the rest of the world? 

On Raven's Wings - Isobel Lucas



On Raven's Wings - Isobel Lucas 

About the book:
Mary Joseph's family is going through a financial crisis and now she's forced to finish out senior year at the local public school. In an effort to erase her Catholic school girl image, she joins a rock band, gets a makeover from her best friend, and changes her name to Raven.

Ian, the hottest guy in school, notices her and she's plunged into a world she never expected to enter. His kisses are as steamy as his body, but Raven doesn't know if he's telling her the truth about his bizarre family or if he's just saying anything to convince her to go all the way.

When disaster hits Raven's family, she has to make a decision: ignore Ian's wild claims or take a leap of faith.

4/5

My Review:
This is part one in a five part series of novella's and I have to admit it has me hooked. From the word go you fall in love with Mary who is not everything she appears to be and with her background and upbringing at first glance she really is the quiet and shy type, but then a change in schools means that everything changes for her and she becomes who she really is. Ian is a lovable rogue or so it seems with a reputation that proceeds him, but is this reputation true or is it all smoke and mirrors? I must admit I find him captivating and really want to get to know what he is really all about. The story-line is free flowing and easy to read, leaving you not wanting to put the book down until you have finished it. I can't wait to see where the next parts are going to take this couple and what they are going to have to face. This is more of an older YA read so be prepared for that, but it's a must read if you are looking for a quick and easy book that has a great story and background.

A Touch of Crimson - Sylvia Day



A Touch of Crimson - Sylvia Day 

About the book:
Adrian Mitchell is an angel of immense power and an insatiable desire for the one woman he can't have. The head of an elite Special Ops unit of the Seraphim, his task is to punish the Fallen - angels who have become vampires - and command a restless pack of indentured lycans. 

But Adrian has suffered his own punishment for becoming involved with mortals - losing the love of his life again and again. Now, after nearly two hundred years, he has found his beloved Shadoe, her soul once more inhabiting a new body with no memory of him. This time he won't let her go. 

With no memory of her past as Shadoe, Lindsay Gibson only knows she can't resist her fierce attraction to the smouldering, seductive male who crosses her path. Swept into a dangerous world of tumultuous passion and preternatural conflict, Lindsay is soon caught in the middle between an angel lover, an estranged vampire father, and a full-blown lycan revolt. There's more at stake than her love and her life - this time she could lose her very soul...

4/5

My Review:
I do really enjoy reading Sylvia's work, and this book again did not disappoint. I was captivated and enthralled by the characters in this book, always wanting to read on and finding I was feeling right along with them. Shouting and feeling right along with Lindsay as she battles and struggles to come to terms with who and what she is, she is an in depth and forceful character yet also displays her soft and feminine side when she needs it and when she is around Adrian. She is a full force character that I fell in love with and always wanted to get everything she needed and wanted. Adrian goes through a few character changes in this book, but it always the strong alpha male unless it comes to Lindsay and they he shows his true nature and feelings. His character is strong in self and yet he is also a lovable male that you really want to do well and to get everything he has wanted and desired all these years. But will he get exactly that as he expects when he finds Lindsay? The story-line keeps you reading right along with everything you need to form the pictures and scenes that flow with the book. All credit to the author for weaving such a great story and I know I will be continuing with this series and finding out what happens next.

Sensitive - Derendrea Book review



Sensitive - Derendrea 

About the book:
Miya believes that her lover can read her thoughts. Has she just gone crazy? That is possible, seeing as she was kidnapped and taken to a research facility. Miya is enchanted by her captor and gradually she succumbs to his "magic hands". 

4/5

My Review:
This short novella is a great read and is well worth looking at. The characters and the story line are well thought out and flow really well. The character development and descriptions were spot on giving the reader everything they need to be able to picture and follow along with the words as they flowed from the pages. I loved Miya as a character and the twist in the story-line leave you captivated and wanting to find out what will happen to her next. Although this is a novella that takes nothing away from the story and what it brings, so if you are a lover of this genre and need a quick lunchtime or time filler read this is the book for you. Can't wait to read more from this author and I will be keeping an eye out for her other works.

Author Biography
Okay, so I'm supposed to tell you about me...
Seriously, if I wrote a book about myself it would take you 10 minutes to read and you would be bored stiff after the first 2! LOL

I'm a full-time writer, wife, and mother. Which basically means there's always a surplus of pencils lost somewhere in my hair, I usually have some place to be(I'm always late), I have a bad habit of calling family and friends random character's names (from my books), I talk to myself because no one else listens to me, and I can throw together a mean dinner for 8 with only 10 minutes notice and four ingredients in the pantry, LOL.

If you can't find me on the sidelines of my sons' football games, online, cooking, cleaning, shopping, at the local coffee joint or on the phone wandering aimlessly throughout my house then I've probably hidden myself in my "bat-cave" to write.

I have a positive attitude, and absolute fun-loving approach to life. That makes it easy for the voices in my head to take over on a regular basis providing endless hours of entertainment for my pleasure, and hopefully yours.

Random facts about me:

~My favorite color is pink
~I have a Bishon Frise puppy named Cullen Edward
~My favorite music is hip-hop
~I have a severe addiction to coffee. So much so, that those in my inner circle refuse to speak to me before caffeine O'clock! True Story

Enjoy the ride.

Speculative edge - Issue 3

About the magazine:
This months issue follows a spooky theme packed with short stories, reviews and poems. Prepare to be dragged kicking and screaming into the realms of fantasy and all things beyond the veil 


My Review:
This months copy of the speculative edge, has a spooky Halloween theme with many short stories to read, get lost in and enjoy. All with one purpose in mind and that is of course to scare and keep you gripped, and they all manage to do that with great effect. Everyone will definitely find at least one of these stories that will chill them to the bone. Along with the really great poems also with the Halloween theme, and boy did they find some great one's to put in there this month. The book review is informative and interesting, giving the reader everything they will need to know in order to decide if the book is for them without giving away any of the major story-line or plot. 
Overall another great issue of the magazine, this is one monthly magazine everyone should seriously consider taking a look at, as it is full of something for everyone. Each issue is different and it is a great way to fill those lunch breaks when you have a small amount of downtime. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to see what they have in store for next months issue.
