Cloudius is working on OSv, an open-source operating system for cloud computing. The startup's programmers mostly are using C++, the company says. "Instead of having a full-fledged system which is designed for mobile phones, supercomputers and also the cloud, we have an operating system that is designed specifically for the cloud," co-founder Avi Kivity says. "It doesn't contain all the extra baggage that a standard system has."

TES principal proud of improvements
Although Tunica Elementary School has been struggling academically for the past few years, Principal Jeffery Blackmon remains positive as the school posts modest yet steady gains. Their 2008/2009 state test results with a QDI score of 203 points earned the school the ominous "at risk of failing" label. But with a 20 point increase in their QDI and the ability to meet AYP (adequate yearly progress) for 2009/2010, their status was elevated from "at risk" to "academic watch."
When asked why TES seems to lag behind other elementary schools in the Tunica County School District, Blackmon claims they were handicapped by the previous administration's failure to promptly adopt the new frameworks proposed by the Mississippi State Department of Education. In other words, they got a late start, Blackmon said. This delayed putting the new curriculum in place, as well as having teachers receive proper training regarding the new curriculum and testing format.

"This book should be a prerequisite for graduating"
The unholy bond between these men is beyond a normal mans comprehension, but did learn that Dick Marcinko left a mindset, that the SEAL of today has taken to another plane.
I served in the US Navy, and for the first time cried while reading a book. It taught me that the Afghan people are not all terrorists, and that was a huge lesson learned.
When the Afghan village took on the Taliban devils really moved me, but the downing of the Chinook made me ill, and the movie did this book justice, for the first time, that I know of.
The Spartons could not approach a USN SEAL, making them the greatest combat soldiers in the history of man kind. Loved the book, even though it was very emotional for me at times, as all us sailors are very proud of these special men.
On a footnote though, their was a huge mistake in deciding to go ahead with the mission, but this showed the humanity coming to the surface with a US soldier, and that is the difference that make the SEALs, that more special, as they knew this mission was doomed when they let the Taliban goat herders go on their way.
"Well Researched Book"
This is by far, the best book on Elizabeth 1, and when you finish it, you will be glad you chose this one book out of many available. You can love or hate Henry V111, but Anne produced the pick of the litter, that changed the face of the earth with beautiful Elizabeth.
"Dive, Dive, Dive."
This book in my opinion, should be nominated for worst book in my entire life, and I am 63 years old. I honestly felt ripped off in even purchasing it, as it added zip to my knowledge base on our submarine force.
I will be much more careful now in purchasing books written by anyone stationed in the silent service, and in fact the book I believe was written to ride of the coat tails of the very good books written by combat soldiers this past several years. Shame on the author, is all I can say.
"A Good Yarn"
Billy has the ability to make old news interesting, so it's worth a listen. We will never know who murdered our good and decent President.
"Marvelous sea knowledge"
And I thought I knew all about these brave astronauts of the blue water. This book is for those that know the sea, or thought they did, as this book takes you to the unknown, and the author surely did some great research to pen a book such as this.
This was time we'll spent, as it clearly showed Stephens inner animosity towards Christianity, which always was there, but Stephen has never accepted that his auto accident was not prevented by God.
His blatant attempt to harm Christianity, and his life long cowardice to approach Islam in the same manner.
A great job.
Stephen really goes after Christianity, but being an author you can carry this out easily through the characters. Steve is at a point in his life where he is just pumping out stories, as he knows his groupies will suck them up. He has contractual obligations and this book is but an obligation, but if you blatantly go after my religion because he knows Christians won't saw his head off, then in my mind Steve is struggling with his mortality, and no Christian should put a nickel in his pocket until he gos after Islamn with the same mindset. Actually, this is his first failure when it comes to penning a book, but in reality a 8th grade could read and comprehend this book, so I will leave Steve struggling with his religion, if he has any at all. I will not stand by and let my religion be his beating pole.
"I should ask for a bad book trade."
True crime readers are a special breed.
This just was a book the Library of Congress really did not need.
"The Iron Wall Was Actually Built By Eisenhower"
I would recommend to a friend, and also a Congressional Committee.
The most touching moment was Pattons last leave in the United States, where he said his last goodbyes, as he knew he was going to be assassinated by his own government. I guess you could say Russia was after him to, but there were no Russians involved in his murder.
I believe Lynn believed what she was reading.
No, that's plain silly for anyone to do that with any book.
When Germany surrendered, Patton wanted to push the Russians back to their border, with the Third Army, as they were there for the taking. They had no supplies, plus they are the worst soldiers in the world, and remain so. He told a Russian General just that, and he complained to the US, and they thought Patton was out of order . Churchill agreed with Pat tons mindset, but Eisenhower, the most overated soldier of WW11, knew Patton was resigning, and might have run for President, making Patton a target, and the rest is history. While in the military in 1969, there was still talking about Patton being taken down, and now these books are written about it, and that had everything to do with the Freedom of Information Act, but Eisenhower even ignored that Russia still held 15,000 of our POWs, when he agreed to Stalins demands in carving up Europe. Some of these POWs never were released.The Iron Wall was built by Eisenhower, and he was no soldier, along with Marshall who took great pleasure in humiliating Patton, for speaking the truth. Patton wanted 3 weeks to push the Mongoloids, as he called the Russians to push them back to their border, but they thought Patton was insane, thus we lived with the Iron Wall for 50 years, but make no mistake about it, General George S. Patton was most certainly assassinated. He knew to much, as he told many of his friends on his last stateside leave.What a travesty this was, but there will be no hearings on this. Powerful folks still run this country, and Obama is trying to get around them, but he will fail.
"Americans Owe Patton With An Investigation."
I have heard the rumors about Patton for years, and laughed it away. Bill has put the jigsaw together, and you cannot ignore this evidence.
It is such an unique book, that I cannot think of a book that I can compare it to, other than the assassination of MLK.
Bill makes it crystal clear that Eisenhower could have prevented the Berlin Wall, if he had been more audacious, as he accused Patton of being. We should have prevented the USSR from taking over Eastern Europe, and history would have been very different. Patton had foresight, that only Churchill agreed with, and it would have been a breeze pushing the Russians back to their border. Bill puts it in a form of a military commentator might narrate, with exact times, making it a one sitting book, and Bill has hit a nerve of a nation, or I hope so, as Patton could have shortened WW11 by two years. War is not for second guessers, and have lost respect foe Eisenhower.
When Patton told the Russian General that if any of his tanks fired before 700 yards, he would try the commander of the tank with cowardice, after the General told Patton that there new tanks could lob shells miles..
Bill is the best narrator on earth when it comes to nonfiction books concerning subject matter , such as this. Historically, he has put all the evidence together, and I think enough, to start a probe of this possible assassination. Bill has shown on how not being firm with the USSR, or a nod of the head, can alter history in a very negative way. Patton was not popular in the White House, but a majority of Americans believed in his reasoning and logic.
"Miklos Nyiszli _The Butcher Of Auschwitz"
An Active Participant.
As good as you would expect, for such a hellish book, but a lack of empathy.
Yes, but not because it was good.
Have you ever robbed a grave? This is a book that might be a best seller in the "Skinhead World", but if you have never experienced the underbelly of the Devil himself, stay away from this book, as it will make you ill, and if it does not, then you might need help.
"Mind Blowing Book"
It should bevrequired reading to obtain your drivers license, as its that important to every American, as I am convinced after listening to it twice, these scientists and military officers, are beyond incompetent, and may be responsible for over half of the cancer deaths world wide. Hey Folks, We have lost nuclear weapons out there!!!!!!!!!
The USAF men that gave up their lives in a silo, out in the Plains.
I believe Scott understands the extreme danger we are in right now, and his material was read and researched to convey the seriousness of the material in this book.
I have never read a book in which I said to myself, "What!" So many times, as it was mind jarring material.
Why does an American have to read a book to find this out? The Press are not doing their jobs.

WARTBURG, TN – Morgan County Medical Center is celebrating its 40th year caring for the residents of this community and meeting their healthcare needs. Staff and guests will come together on Friday, August 15 to celebrate this milestone for the center and the community.

MCMC Receives BHI Funding
Morgan County Medical Center One of Four to Receive
Competitive Behavioral Health Integration Funding
WARTBURG, TN – Morgan County Medical Center (MCMC) has been awarded $250,000 to integrate mental health and substance abuse treatment into its medical services. MCMC is one of only four healthcare agencies in Tennessee to receive Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"We are excited to have been awarded this grant and see it as an opportunity to meet a growing need in our community," said Theresa Brock, the administrator at Morgan County Medical Center. "We applied for the grant hoping to be able to expand our mental health services and are very thankful to have had our application approved given that agencies all across the country were competing."
In the next few months, Morgan County Medical Center, through a collaboration with Ridgeview Behavioral Health, will add a full time onsite licensed behavioral health provider. The behavioral health provider will be fully integrated and work "hand-in-hand" with the medical staff of four primary care providers. The purpose of BHI is to bring a team approach to caring for patients who need both primary and mental health services.
"We have an ongoing agreement with Ridgeview Behavioral Health to provide mental health and substance abuse treatment services here in our clinic," Brock said. "We will be working with Ridgeview to expand our mental health services following the BHI model."

Farewell dinner chez Robinsons with more excellent wines - I am sure it is the quality of the NZ wines that enables me to drink far more than I would at home, or is it Tim's pouring technique!
Great Hospitality
... Nelson is a lovely town overlooking the bay. The water is the color of turquoise jewels, and the clouds look as if they've been painted on. It's a very hilly area full of curves and turns.
We set out to visit some artsy shops. We spent quite a bit of time in the Glass Blowing Factory. They had a shop full of beautiful hands blown pieces, but the highlight for me was going to the second gallery, and actually watch Ola Hoglund ...

Such a fine sight to see...and some not so fine...
... I got Winslow at 3pm, the original time.
Got my picture taken "standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona". It's Sunday, so the shops were closed, except for the one right across the street. The owner was former Navy, so I spent a few minutes chatting him up and bought myself a USAF hat and a Winslow shirt. Thanks for the military discount!
I went to the hotel in Winslow, where I had a reservation, and decided ...

I could have stayed several more days in Flagstaff. There were nice trails in the Coconino National Forest that passed right by the campground. And there were several other things nearby that I think would have been neat to see (Meteor Crater, Bearizona, etc.), but every one was excited to head up to the Grand Canyon. So on Easter morning we loaded up and headed that way.

Mr. Monk Gets on Board
A Novel
"Of all the things that make Adrian Monk uneasy, change ranks high on the list. So when Natalie completes her P.I. license--and technically becomes Monk's boss--it's not easy for him to accept. Nor can he accept Natalie attending a business seminar at sea without him, even if it means spending a week with her on a cruise ship. Between choppy waters and obnoxious kids, Monk finds himself in a perfect storm of anxiety. Luckily, Mariah, the cruise director, is always able to smooth things over...until the crew fishes her dead body out of the water. Even after the ship's doctor declares Mariah's death an accident, Monk isn't convinced. So when the captain hires Monk and Natalie to look into a mysterious rash of vandalism on board, Monk steers the investigation toward murder..."--

Arizona Sunbelt is the place to go to buy or sell a business in Arizona.
Lakeside, AZ
Pico's Nursery is a garden center and landscape contracting business located in the White Mountains of Arizona.
The White Mountains area averages 7000 ft. elevation. It is an area of forest, lakes, many golf courses, and beauty. There are many second homes belonging to people from Phoenix and Tucson who come here to escape their summer heat.
Pico's Nursery occupies about three acres in the town of Pinetop-Lakeside. On the property are a garden center, a greenhouse, a very large landscape contracting office, an owner's residence, a guest house and a large, beautiful, often-visited garden. Pico's right now employs about 22 people during nine months of the year and about 12 key employees during the winter. We have excellent long term employees. Pico's marketing area extends about fifty miles in all directions from its location in Pinetop-Lakeside. Before the downturn we were doing over $2,000,000 a year. Last year we did slightly under $1,000,000. This year we are well on our way to $1,100,000. We will make a profit of at least 16% of sales or $176,000. My wife and I have had a wonderful 30 years nurturing Pico's. We would like to retire. If interested, please call me.

Things to do in Russia
Not to be confused with the Tretyakov Gallery, the more interesting New Tretyakov is in the same building as the Central House of Artists. On the top floor is Moscow's must-see collection of early- 20th-century art—Malevich, Goncharova, Mashkov, Lentulov, Chagall, and more.
The hand-stitched cotton dresses with elaborate embroidery have a distinct air of yesteryear, and the designer displays her garments like museum objects.
Igor Markin's Art 4 is the first private museum to open here in 100 years and showcases his personal collection of Russian art from the past four decades: Totalitarian-stamped vistas by 70's Pop art practitioner Eric Bulatov; cocktails of brutality and buffoonery by 80's painter Konstantin Zvezdo
Pick up the perfect fur pillbox or trapper hat. Reasonably priced mink, arctic fox, and trimmed beaver-pelt caps in black and russet or gumdrop pinks and greens line the walls.
Climb the 250 steps to the colonnade surrounding the gilt dome for 360-degree views of the city. Then descend to the spectacularly lit cathedral, a breathtaking space of gold-embossed arches and soaring malachite pilasters.
Founded by the royal family in 1744, the china here is literally fit for a czar.

25 Dec 2013 03:39 GMT | US & Canada, United States
NASA astronauts have successfully wrapped up a Christmas Eve spacewalk to make repairs at the orbiting International Space Station, the US space agency has said.
"We have a pump that is alive and well," said a NASA commentator on live television on Tuesday after a successful jump-start test to the newly installed ammonia pump module, a bulky piece of gear the size of a refrigerator.
More checks would be done later, but the pump appeared to be in good shape and would be fully activated in the coming hours, a NASA commentator said from mission control in Houston.
American astronauts NASA Rick Mastracchio, 53, and Mike Hopkins, 44, made the only second Christmas Eve spacewalk in in NASA's history on Tuesday. The first was 14 year ago.
They managed to complete almost two days' worth of work in a single outing that lasted just five and a half hours, ending an hour earlier than planned.
Mastracchio and Hopkins made swift work of their first spacewalk on Saturday, disconnecting and pulling out the old cooling pump that regulates the temperature of equipment at the orbiting space lab.
Tuesday's spacewalk was the second of Hopkins' career, and the eighth for Mastracchio.
The shutdown of one of the two external cooling lines forced the six-man crew of the International Space Station to turn off all non-essential equipment, including experiments.
Later this week, Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy will make a spacewalk on December 27 to install a pair of high-fidelity cameras on the Zvezda service module and to do maintenance on the Russian segment of the station.
'Water leak'
Flight Engineer Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency operated the space station's 17-meter robotic arm, which hoisted Hopkins and the new, refrigerator-sized pump module from its stowage platform to the place it was to be installed.
Wakata arrived at the space station in November for a half-year stay as part of the six-member international crew.
He will become the first Japanese commander of the space station in March.
During the space walk on Tuesday, Mastracchio wore a different spacesuit than he did Saturday, a back-up that was stored at the station and was resized to fit him.
A "small amount of water" entered the suit's cooling system in the space station airlock after Mastracchio finished the last spacewalk, NASA said.
But the US space agency said the problem was not related to the water leak in a helmet that cut short Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano's spacewalk in July and risked drowning him.
NASA is still investigating what went wrong in that case.
Despite the concerns about leaking spacesuits, neither astronaut reported any problems during the seven and a half hour outing.
NASA said the last time astronauts embarked on a Christmas Eve spacewalk was 14 years ago, when space shuttle Discovery astronauts Steve Smith and John Grunsfeld stepped out to install upgrades and new insulation on the Hubble Space Telescope.

Fangs, steamy sex, blood, life mate, a heroine with inner strength and a hero with yummy body and a voice that could make a granny drop her panties! This story has it all! Rich environmentalist Francesca, Frankie, Stewart is working to elect the greenest governor to office. She is a loner who carries a scarred face and a wounded heart. Jake Rios is the new security chief for the man running for governor and he is the strong and silent type, who shows no emotion at all. Oh, but he does have is a voice that slides down Frankie's body and makes her wet and hungry. Jake is a vampire and he found his life mate, Frankie, but he has been going slowly. Well, NO MORE! Frankie lets her hair down, drops her inhibitions and undies and Jake rocks her world with "PULL THE FIRE ALARM" sex galore. There is a unseen evil nemesis who wants something from Frankie, but what does he want? Will Frankie agree to be Jake's life mate? Can Jake protect his Frankie from the nemesis? I loved this novella by Virna DePaul! She has fire extinguisher worth scenes and great characters that will fight tooth and nail for their love. I only thing that I didn't love, it was too SHORT! I must give Ms. DePaul a score of 4 fingers up and 10 toes!
NetGalley ARC given for my honest review.

Jake knows he Frankie is his mate and he wants her in his life, pronto. Frankie is cautious and Jake doesn't want to scare her away. She's been hurt in the past and he'll do anything to protect and love her.
A Vampire's Salvation definitely isn't long enough, but it gets right to the point of the story, with a whole lot of sexy-hot along the way. The characters are alive with chemistry and sexual tension and the sex itself is steaming hot. When danger becomes apparent, Jake is uber-sexy as Frankie's devoted hero and Ms. DePaul makes us feel the heat and the love. You may need a fan by the time you're done with this one! This was my first Virna DePaul romance and it won't be my last. I would recommend it to all my friends and customers in a heartbeat!

This is a Novella . In this book we have Jake Rios who is an old vampire and he is the head of security for the
Governor of California. He has high hopes in bringing out Vampires as good law abiding citizens.
No one knows what Jake is. Then we have Frankie a Human who works for the Governor and has the hots
for Jake. Although Frankie has a horrible past with men. Ryan Turner is the man who gave her a scar across
her beautiful face and watched while she was raped. He has now come back into Frankies life. However Ryan
Turner also has a vendetta against Jake Rios so he sees this as a win win situation to have them both
within his reach. Can Jake save her? Can Jake finally have his lifemate? Will Frankie give him what he needs?
The attraction between Frankie and Jake takes off immediately. The action of the plot was very good. I can not
wait for the next book in this series. I feel this book deserves 5 Stars.. It was well written.

Sexy Novella -- 3.5/5 stars
This book contains many of the things that haters of the romance genre dislike: insta-love, an exaggerated dilemma that brings the lovers closer together and a vampire finding his mate. But if you are a romance lover like me, you will devour this book and enjoy every minute of it! A Vampire's Salvation is a short read of 77 pages so it was a job well done by the author to have me feeling a connection with Frankie and Jake in the short time it took to read.
One big negative is that you cannot overthink stuff in this book. For example, the way Frankie behaves when she learns things about Jake's vampirism. It's not so believable but it would take a much longer story to weave a more realistic tale.

Great start. I'm hooked.
Francesca Stewart has never wanted a man as badly as she does Jake Rios. The fact they both work for the California Governor doesn't deter her from thinking of ways to jump his yummy bones. Unfortunately, his apparent disinterest in said jumping and his complete focus as Head of Security leaves her with just her fantasies. Until the day he drops the disinterest and lets it be known in no uncertain terms how very much he does want her, bone jumping and anything else she can think of.
Jake Rios is a vampire who needs a mate and soon or bad things will start happening to him. Luckily, in his bid to reach the Governor, he finds her. Francesca is his. Now, all he has to do is convince her of that fact. And well, that he's a vampire. It shouldn't be hard, right?
Well-written and quick-flowing this short gets right down to business. I love the characters and look forward to reading more about them. I have a feeling that the villain is going to be one of those guys who you want to hate so much, but he's not completely evil. I love those guys. It's easy to hate a complete blackguard and cheer for his downfall. Harder to hate one who has bits of grey and maybe even some white to his character. I'm not saying the big baddie in this book is like that, it's just my impression. I can't wait to read more.
The different take on vampires is interesting, the steamy scenes are definitely steamy and I'm curious as to how the baddie is connected to Francesa and why. Although the ending seemed a bit rushed to me, for a short story it has me hooked and, so far, I'm intrigued and waiting for the next installment. Bring it on!

Lately I've read some short Novella's that have fed my love for hot and steamy encounters and things that go bump in the night.
This stories are a refreshing new introduction to new author's that I've not read yet or to sound names of the industry that are in my TBR
Today I'm bringing you a story that I liked very much and a new series that could be a lot of fun for us to read.
The author had the ability to write a story that entails politics, a hidden race, some freaking hot vampires, a wounded soul learning to
love again and one hot alpha vampire to take care of her.
Even though this is short, there are no flaws and no confusions in this action paced narrative.
The only thing that I would like to have continued to see played out was Frankie's and Jake's relationship after the end of the book.
Now facts on our heroine, Frankie ...
She has a trust issue with men, her last boyfriend let her down on the worst way possible so after being attracted by Jake and weaving
an impossible relationship in her mind, she decides to put an end to it.
When Jake, after all the months that has almost ignored her, turns his attention to her she is surprised but she does jump to the
opportunity of having her desires met.
In my point of view, Frankie was a little stuck up in the moment kind of thing, but overall understandable because of her past experience.
She never ran from Jake, even if he was a vampire, and learned to face a whole new life and some added responsibility in the end.
Vampire Jake is our alpha hero.
How I love vampires and their alpha attitudes with those deep souls and the speech "you are mine" given in the young hours of dawn
to their mates. Jake was no different.
He knows that he can't resist any longer to Frankie and even though he tries to go slow, he simply can't. How sweet ....
If there could be guys out there like Jake, save me one!
If you love Paranormal Romance with suspense and action, this is the perfect series for you, give it a try.

A short sexy tale of vampire love. Jake Rios is a vampire who works security for the Governor. Frankie Stewart is the governor's "go-green" political consultant and Jake's "one true mate". He just has to let her know that and that isn't going to be easy. Frankie doesn't date. She was burned by her first love and doesn't trust easily. After six months of mutual attraction Jake finally makes his move and things get hot quickly.
I really liked Jake & Frankie. The chemistry between the two is off the charts. I wish it would have ended differently but know that it was a teaser for the next book. If you like your PNR spicy this quick read is for you.

Frankie is drawn to Jake Rios. She has been fantasying about him ever since she first saw him. She has given her heart only once and it had devastating result, so she isn't looking for any kind of relationship...just something physical.
Jake Rios is a vampire that has search the world for his perfect mate. He has discovered her and now intends to claim her. Slowly planning his seduction, Jake knows it will all be worth it. Now he just has to convince Francesca (Frankie) Stewart.
A Vampire's Salvation is a quick read with smoking hot sexual encounters. Like many novella's, the story is a bit rushed. I wanted more back ground or an explanation for the mysterious attacks. In the end, A Vampire's Salvation is a great teaser to a new series. Leaving me with questions and wanting to know more.
This 2nd Edition ARC copy of A Vampire's Salvation was given to me by Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept in exchange for a honest review. The publication date is April 22, 2013.

A Vampire's Salvation by Virna DePaul was a quick read filled with a sweet, hot romance and lots of intrigue that kept the plot moving and me interested. Once again, DePaul shows her prowess as a writer by creating in the moment relationships with real to life characters that draw the reader in. In short, this is a wonderful novella perfectly concocted for paranormal romance lovers to sink their teeth into. One thing that I simply love about this writer is her ability to bring characters and their relationships to life. Despite the threat of danger lurking about, we are swept away in the affairs and fantasies of the characters. The characters themselves always exude a wonderful sense of humanity with flawed personalities that help the reader to relate to them. Likewise, their strong and admirable natures are enduring and make them people that we instantly want to love. Frankie herself is an emotionally scarred woman with a history that makes her leery of becoming involved with men, especially one that makes her want to loose control. And yet, despite her painful past, she's developed a successful life fighting for causes that she sees as worthy. Her dedication to her causes is admirable. So when she sets her eyes on the head of security, Jake, she is no less committed. However, how far she's willing to let herself be swept away by him is always in question. Jake on the other hand has no questions or reservations when it comes to Frankie. He wants her and is determined for her to become his mate. His pursuit of her, however, shows the restraint and tenderness he's capable of as he realizes the extent of damage on her psyche that her past experiences have inflicted. Determined to make her trust him, I couldn't help but fall for him myself becasue he goes to such lengths to try and protect her, not only physically but emotionally. There's just something so appealing about that kind of love and when romance finally comes to pass between them it is utterly organic and engaging making for some extremely hot sexual tension and erotically charged loved scenes. There's a slight sense of delicious hesitation and uneasy feelings experienced by Frankie as she struggles to find out Jake's motives, but this unsure quality is only offset by her reaction to the truth about what this mysteriously alluring man really is. DePaul creates a wonderful storyline full of danger and unseen threats as Jake tries to help ease the way for vampires to step out into the public light. Of course, not all vampires are happy with this movement and decide to use Frankie as a means to put an end to it. Never sure where exactly the danger is coming from, you are drawn into the mysterious drama and suspense that unfolds. However, while I loved the premise immensely I was a little disappointed by the sudden ending. This novella is more about threat then anything else and I was hoping for a great action packed climax, instead I was given a promise of more to come. I would have liked to see a bit more action to go with the mounting threats that were made to Frankie and more insight into the possibility of a traitor on Jake's team, but I suppose I'll just have to wait and find out in the next installment!Was this review helpful?

Francesca "Frankie " Stewart has wanted Jake Rios since the first moment she saw him. She has no idea how badly he wants her, as well - in fact, Frankie is the "mate" Jake has been waiting 200 years for. Now, if he can only convince her that the best thing she could do is become the mate of a vampire... This is a very sexy story. Virna DePaul has a real gift for creating "living" characters, and she's also extremely talented when it comes to writing hot love scenes and creating sexual tension. She has a way of making a short story have the "feel" of a complete novel. Ms. DePaul is a hot new voice in Paranormal Romance, and I'm excited to see what this author does next!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.
