"Marcus DeLuca had to be a dangerous man because I was caving in too soon; it was just too soon to feel this attachment, to feel and want him so desperately. When something seems too good to be true, it's exactly that." Okay so E.L. Montes hooked me with angst from the prologue. To an angst junkie like myself Disastrous delivered my next fix, but unfortunately left me NEEDING to read Cautious soon. Disastrous begins with Mia Sullivan a highly successful second year Harvard Law Student discovering that she has been recommended for an internship only offered to third year law students at a prestigious law firm by her professor. It looks like all her hard work is paying off, and to her surprise her best friend and roommate Jeremy a third year law student also having the opportunity to fill another internship spot. So what does your typical college student do when they are facing exciting news at the beginning if summer? Well they party at Club 21 the most high class club in Boston and only the best people get into this club. Not only are Jeremy and Mia allowed easy entrance to this club but they are VIP since Mr. McCullen (Jeremy's father) an architect designed the club. I know that's how I celebrated in college. I still do! "The man standing before me was definitely God's gift to women. He was tall, tanned, and had the most gorgeous big brown eyes I'd ever seen." From the instant Marcus DeLuca shows up on the scene it's as if a magnet was drawing him and Mia together, and they were dragging me along with them. Not that I'm complaining. "Here we go, it was either up or down from here. It would definitely be a rollercoaster, but I was willing to take the ride." This is where the "crazy, stupid love" affair these two have begins, and I couldn't put the book down once it began, and when I wasn't reading Disastrous I was thinking about Disastrous Marcus. He was delicious, powerful, charismatic and everything I enjoy in a book boyfriend. Marcus is an ubber successful attorney in Boston, and not only is he gorgeous and powerful, he's the true meaning of Alpha-male. If you're attracted to jealous, POSSESSIVE, passionate, rich, alpha, mouth watering aggressive men then Marcus DeLuca will be high on your lust list. But don't let all these wonderfully appealing characteristics about Marcus fool you, he's a man with secrets, and all of those will slowly unravel before your eyes and its a "disaster" when it's revealed. I gasped when I confirmed his secret lifestyle even though I had suspected it. "It's not like me to be a jealous man, Mia. F-*k, I'm never jealous. Though for some reason, when you walked into the conference room with Jeremy's arm around your waist and when he slapped your a$$, it took every part of me to not stand up and knock him the F-*k out." Mia Sullivan is a strong woman that I adored. She doesn't lay down and accept bad behavior from men, well maybe a little but she holds her ground. When things get rough and plenty of females would stay in a bad situation, she walks away and protects her sanity, but the problem is that as tumultuous as Marcus and and Mia's relationship is these two can't stay away. Nor can they get their acts together! "That pissed me the hell off. I took in a deep breath and blurted out everything without thinking twice. "F-*k you! You want to know who I am, Marcus. Well here it goes! I am temperamental, over-sensitive, and outspoken. I'm honest! I cry at stupid love movies, and I'm a sucker for a romantic novel. I don't allow people to walk all over me, I have trust issues, and I have insecurities. I've slept with four men in my entire life! And the one thing I don't do is take shit from men who try to act like they're better than me as if they don't have any hidden skeletons! I'm not keeping shit hidden, how 'bout you? You can fuck off. I'll find my own way home. Have a nice f-*king life!" At this moment I was cheering Mia for standing up for herself, but I'm such a weak psycho when it comes to Marcus that I felt my chest get heavy here, and the lump in my throat began to form and I willed these two to make up, and the way these two make up is with glorious sex. "I was gonna f-*k her!" Sprawling his hands in the air, he nodded at my stunned expression. "Yeah that's right, hard too! But the entire time I was going to think of you!' Gawking at him, my heartbeat raised. "How f-*king romantic!" Now I'm devastated once again for these two, and my heart is breaking for these two because sometimes its easier to hurt the one closer to you….:( I'm sick, and slowly dying inside……but keep reading because Mia and Marcus are an unforgettable couple full of passion for one another. Cue the make-up sex…YES please! "He reached over, placing the palm of his hand on top of mine. "You see, Mia, for a long time I haven't had anything like that: honesty, innocence, and pureness. After seeing it through your eyes, I never wanted or needed it more in my life." Okay I'm happy and giddy once again for these two. E.L. Montes has such a descriptive way of writing delicious sex scenes, passionate love scenes, chaos, disastrous tumultuous relationships that are leaving me DYING for the second book Cautious to further explore their relationship. Oh my the angst is unbearable at times, but this is one train wreck I'm so delighted I didn't miss. One moment I was laughing, the next I was having heart palpitations, and the next I was either angry or cheering for these two. When these two were good they were outstanding!!! When they were bad, they were a Disastrous hurricane!!! For angst lovers like myself that crave the turbulent relationships in Crash, Beautiful Disaster, Fifty Shades of Grey, Bared To You, The Mighty Storm and The Opportunist will feel you've died and gone to Heaven with this gem. Disastrous was book crack at its finest!!!! Now I'm counting the days until Cautious the sequel to Disastrous is released on May 23, 2012. "Thats what love is….It's scary not knowing what's expected, but I know It'll be the best frightening love we've ever had." 4.5 Angsty stars Also see my review at Miss Vain's Paranormal Fantasy ...more | Notes are private!

"I'll never be good enough for you, I know that. But I'm no good without you, and if that makes me selfish bastard for wanting you as badly as I do then so be it because I can't live a life that doesn't have you in it." What is it about these angsty, passionate New Adult contemporary romances that causes me to throw my lace panties out the window along with my morals and root for the immoral characters to have a HEA while making up excuses for their infidelity? Lol Oh wow another rockstar romance…To those if you like me have an achilles heel for an intoxicating bad boy, oozing sex appeal, billionaire boys club rockstars, well look no further because this is your cure. "Jake Wethers, one of the biggest rock stars in the world, lead singer of the hugely successful rock band, The Mighty Storm. Who also once upon a time used to be my best friend. Trudy Bennett is an established music columnist for a fashion magazine with the hopes of hitting it big one day, and never having to come face to face with the obscenely wealthy, turbulently out of control rocker Jake Wethers (the lead singer of ubber popular rock band The Mighty Storm) which also happens to be her childhood best friend and first crush. After reading about him in the tabloids after a twelve year estrangement she can no longer see the Jake she grew up with making mud pies and making her heart flutter. I mean seriously that boy is far from the ridiculously promiscuous playboy that had to enter rehab after he urinated while on stage during one of his concerts. I know what your thinking, this man doesn't sound swoon worthy at all, but wait because there's plenty more to this delicious rocker than meets the eye. I'm getting excited just thinking about how much I swooned over him. "Because women never say no to me." With a wink, he gets up and wanders off over to the food table. God he's such a cocky, arrogant bastard at times. And I totally fancy him. No I don't. Yes, I do. No. I. Don't. Ah fuck. She has kept her childhood friendship with Jake the rockstar with a ever rotating conveyor belt of women except for her boss and friend that won't take no for an answer so she reluctantly accepts the appointment her employer set up for her to interview Jake. *Squeeeeee* Trudy also referred to as Tru spends the entire time leading up to this entire wondering if Jake will remember her? Cast her aside? Pitty her? Basically every emotion I could imagine I would be feeling at the very moment she's being lead to his hotel suite to conduct the interview she was feeling. Now if only she didn't have what's his name in the way of her childhood crush turning into a steamy love affair??? Oh yeah "Will" her boyfriend of two years! He's her devoted, successful, reliable boyfriend of two years, and yes he's very likable but I'm throwing my bra and panties on stage for Jake Wethers, the irresistible, unpredictable, seductive, sexy, beautiful, tattooed lead singer of The Mighty Storm rock band. Okay, there I've said it. I want Jake. He's beautiful and sexy, and flirty. And he's a rock star. And he was my boy next-door. But of course nothing is ever going to happen. Because he's Jake Wethers….and I'm just Trudy Bennett. And also I have a boyfriend, which I'd actually reason number one." This is where the roller coaster of love, lust, angst, turmoil, passion and excitement begins. Hold on tight, because there will be times you will want to get off and save yourself the emotional strain however I encourage you to sit back and enjoy it because The Mighty Storm is a MUST READ and FAVORITE of mine! I truly see just to the level of power he has over people. Mostly, over me. I'm so totally mesmerized by him. And so totally in lust with him. And so totally screwed. I can't blame Tru for her indiscretions (and they are bad) because when I first met Jake, I fell in love with him instantly. From the very first page he showed up he oozed sex appeal, and raw vulnerability that I couldn't resist. When he asks her to join his upcoming tour as the official biographer (knowing fully well she has no biographical experience) its obvious that he loves her! *swoon* All I can do is watch Jake sing. Watching as he makes every single woman in this room feel like he's singing to her, that tonight she is the one he is taking home. She's the one he's going to share his bed with tonight. And in this moment all I want, more than anything, is to be the one he chooses. He's such a rock god, but when he's with Trudy, he's such an AMAZING guy that I can't even fathom a thought about Trudy's wonderfully devoted boyfriend Will. I'm such a bad person that I was dying for these two to get together. He even saved the friendship bracelet she gave him when they were kids, and chooses to wear it regardless of his ability to afford any bracelet his heart desired. I just LOVE him. I feel high. On him. His voice is like hands moving over my skin touching me. His hands. Touching me. I want that now. No I don't. I mean its just a reflex reaction to the rock star lover in me. The dream of wanting to be the one to tame him. Of course it's not real. There's a few scenes where my jaw drops and my chest starts to feel heavy, and I had to walk away from reading to gather my composure. It was devastating the angst in this book, but I'm such an angst junkie, I embraced it, and adored every minute of it. The angst makes me feel alive, and sends me over the edge of hysteria. "And that's why I prefer to dance in the bedroom," Holy shit. He leans back and stares down at me, and then suddenly see it there in his eyes, unconcealed. The lust. The want. He wants me. He's trying to seduce me. I'm so completely fucked. I was on an emotional thrill ride the entire time reading, full of angst, romance, passion, lust, jealousy, and all around bad boy delicious Jake Wethers. (Calling all Kellan fans) The Mighty Storm made me laugh, cry, swoon, giggle, fan myself, walk away for a bit due to my emotionally tormented angst. Wow this book had me excited one moment and the next, my stomach was tied into knots dropping due to my inability to control my emotions. Seriously Samantha Towle is that incredible of a writer that the entire time I felt like I was Tru experiencing all the ups and downs of a rockstar romance. *Sigh* If only I were so lucky! I feel a sudden lump in my throat and I realize, even though half an hour ago I felt like bolting, now, I don't want to leave him. The thought of not seeing him again is constructing my heart in the weirdest kind of way. Crazy, I know." That's how I felt when I finished The Mighty Storm because I didn't want it to end, that's how much it consumed my thoughts. These two characters aren't spoiled with finding love and getting their HEA immediately. I mean if it were that easily the where would the angst and anguish we love so much in these addictive New Mature-Adult contemporary romances we I crave so very much? Let me tell you that Samantha Towle doesn't hold back and she gives us everything we could want in The Mighty Storm. This book also stemmed very realistic as Samantha Towle eloquently touches on issues of drug abuse, infidelity, consequences and the negative effects of fame and an unforgettable passionate romance! Please do yourself a favor and download The Mighty Storm and prepare to be spellbound with an unforgettable couple and their enthralling love story IMMEDIATELY!!! The sequel to The Mighty Storm entitled Wethering The Storm will be available to purchase December 21, 2012 and I'll be counting the days until its release. I won't share you anymore." He repeats, as he continues driving into me over and over again. "You belong to me." You can also read my review here Miss Vain's Paranormal Fantasy ...more | Notes are private!

His tongue licked her lips and stroked inside her mouth. Slow. Easy. As if he were sampling her. Her tongue slipped to meet his. To taste. To want. When he pulled back, she had to fight to keep her hands off him. His gaze studied her a moment, and she bared dared to breathe. "I'm not human," he finally agreed, his voice a deep rumble. "But neither are you, sweetheart. Neither are you." Wow! I knew I would enjoy this book, but I had no idea just how much I would LOVE it. Cynthia Eden has quickly paved her way as one of my favorite paranormal romance authors. Her books are fast paced, sexy as sin, incredibly hot and unforgettable. Like Seline and Sammael I was addicted to Angel Betrayed from the very first page. One moment I'm laughing, the next I'm luxuriating in the sexiness, then I'm cheering on the good guys with in Edens novels are sometimes really the delicious bad boys, and then I find myself crying because I've become so unbelievable wrapped up in these characters lives that when they feel pain I feel it right along with them. It was killing time, and he could kill a man as easily as he could caress a lover. In the prologue we witness Sammael an angel of death fall from Grace. He was frighteningly sexy, and I admired that he could no longer sit back and watch men rape, and murder women and children without hashing out his own death punishment. Quickly I was immersed into his charming character and I enjoyed his strong Alpha-Licious persona he oozed. I was infatuated with him instantly and I'm not sure how Seline was able to keep her hands off of him for so long because I found him simply irresistible. He's a dark, dauntless character and he's definitely someone you want on your side when there's a target on your back. Therefore he's not surprised when the succulent Seline whom he also employs comes to him in dire need of protection from men endangering her life. But you don't live this long escaping Hell without being able to smell a trap when it's right in front underneath his nose. "I'm not here to save the world," he told her, and then he reached for her again. Wait-the jerk was moving her out of his way, not trying to embrace her. Then he yanked open the door and told her, "Sweetheart, I'm just here to watch it burn." Both are unsure what the other is, but one thing they can be sure of is that neither Sammael nor Seline are human. But he's already mesmerized by Seline's charm long before she asked for his help, so he's willing to do what's necessary to discover her motives and perhaps get to know her better.....physically. Unfortunately for her kind, lust was kryptonite. The closer the temptation, the stronger the weakness. Seline is such a fearless and fun character! I instantly was mesmerized by her mysterious yet manipulative nature. She's a seductress that knows what she wants,and goes after it. Fortunately when her plans fail to work she goes right back to work to obtain that goal she's seeking. I find those fascinating qualities in a heroine because as an ambitious person myself I revel in reading ambitious characters, even if their ambition is to suck a mans soul dry. Lol. Seline may be a beautiful blonde temptress on the outside but she also has a genuinely kind and beautiful heart on the inside that she keeps hidden under her courageous interior. "He's a real piece of work. A fallen." He shook his head and kept walking. "Can you believe an angel would be dumb enough to fall from Heaven?" I've seen dumber things." Like you, just walking away from me now after you admitted you left me to die. Seline grabbed the nearest object she could find--a metal chair that she lifted easily--and slammed it into the back of Alex's head. He's suspicions of Seline's motives lead him to spend quality time with her investigating brutal murders of other fallen and she might just be next. Sammael cannot possibly leave Seline to a fate as brutal as these murders even though he's not sure if she will be the death of him, and that's saying a lot because well he's unstoppable. One thing Sammael is sure of is that Seline is everything his bad boy self desires but everything his angel side tells him to walk away. She's his drug of choice and he's addicted, but he's not alone because Seline may be frightened of Sammael, one thing is for sure is that when he's around she craves him. Let me just say that Sammael knows his way around a bedroom and a woman's body because the provocative scenes in this book kept me blushing as they were scorchingly hot and I indulged in every bit if them. "I can bring death with my touch." His lips brushed over hers. She didn't flinch. He took that as a sign of progress. "Or I can bring pleasure." It was all a matter of what he wanted. With her, he wanted pleasure. Together they begin to track Sammael's brother Azrael or also referred to as AZ that he is suspicious of and has now fallen from grace himself leaving both desiring the others bloodshed. While searching for AZ a punishment angel named Rogziel that raised Seline from a child is seeking to wipe out "other" which are supernatural creatures that he has decided to hand out their judgement of death for being an abomination in his words. He's a disgraceful angel and I just wanted him to fall. While on this journey Sammael and Seline finally realize the magnetic pull that I noticed on the first page between these two. They're such a breathtaking couple that each time they're around one another it's as if the world ceases to exist. When she could suck in a full breath, she tasted power and pleasure. And knew--as she'd suspected from the beginning--that she'd found an addiction. Sam. This book made me cry so hard towards the end as I felt all hope was lost, and though I really truly hate crying in books, I must say that Cynthia Eden is such an amazingly talented author that can make me fall in love with her characters, feel their pain and joy simultaneously with them. This was my first book I've had the pleasure to read by Cynthia Eden and this won't be the last. I highly recommend Angel Betrayed to fans of paranormal romance, and lonely characters that seem unlikely to get together but in the end all that matters is that they have trust and love and the rest will come easily. This is a story about being lost, finding love, redemption and sacrificing all that's good for the one you love! Would you sacrifice a gift or something beautiful for true love? I know I sure would, and this is why I enjoyed Sammael & Seline's story from beginning to end! Angel in Chains releases in November 27, 2012 and I can't wait to read it. Now that he's survived I'm so curious to see what's in store for Azrael (AZ) story because he's a brutal bad boy, but I see a bit of goodness in him and I hope that he and Sammael can have a relationship.

I had conspired to break the law with my ex-boyfriend, who I professed to hate, broken said law, destroyed the victim's attack dog/magic creature in a fit of murderous frenzy, and then ran away across the city, wandered around some woods, and fell asleep in a tree in my beastkin shape. When I went off the rails, I didn't do it halfway. No, I flipped a few times, caught a lot of air, and then exploded in a fiery crash. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to review this book early and let me tell you that Gunmetal Magic by far exceeded my expectations prior to reading. "The one where you go f*-k yourselves." A snarl crept into my voice. "You come here to my territory and you think you can push me around? Well, come on. Push. See what it will get you." When I first heard that Andrea was getting her own book, I'll admit that I was super excited...that is, until I realized that her book was going to put a new Kate and Curran installment on the back burner for another year. *insert sad face* However much to my excitement SHOUTY capitals within the first chapter I was like "Kate and Curran who?" LOL, okay that's not exactly true but Andrea and Raphael were such an exciting, funny and tumultuous couple that I was immersed in Gunmetal Magic immediately and let me just say that their book wasn't lacking in any category including humor, lust, love, fighting, flirting, blood, and gore. I was always a fan of Andrea but now after reading her story it's obvious why she and Kate are such close friends and her daredevil ways rival Kate's while Raphael's alpha-Licious persona mirrors Curran's as well, though in their own completely different ways. A dark figure stepped into the office...... Six foot three, lean, wearing a black leather jacket and faded jeans....He stepped into the light. Dark blue eyes looked at me and the world fell apart around us. His face, framed by soft black hair, wasn't perfect in the way Ascanio's was, but it was a masculine and handsome, and his eyes communicated a kind of sexual intensity, a promise and a challenge, that made women lose all of their self-respect and try to proposition him I plain view of their dates. The familiar scent washed over me like a pain-filled perfume. Raphael The first scene with Raphael broke my heart. *insert heavy lump in my throat here* The best thing about reading and ARC is you get the opportunity to review it first and the worst thing is that while my chest felt heavy and my heart was dying inside I had no one to discuss it with. One thing I find so admirable in a strong female role is that, if my heart was breaking then Andrea's must be shattering and instead of crying and throwing a fit, she held her own, (while I was seething) and didn't back down when things were not going in her favor because shes a strong willed woman. She knows that life must go on. She doesn't curl into a bawl and sob which would have been acceptable, no she plans a way to face the facts laid out before her and how to go about her life without her job and sense of duty suffering! She is such a courageous and fascinating addition to the Kate Daniels series that wouldn't be the same without her in it. "You mean you showed her your guns and she didn't faint?" Ha-ha-ha. "No, honey, you're the only one who does that." As I recall, it was usually the other way around." I've seen plenty of guns. You have a nice one, but it didn't Make me faint." "That's what you say now.""Raphael, I don't own this phone. Don't make me break it, because I just gave up my last ten bucks to use it." When she is hired by Jim to investigate a murder scene and discover who has sent venomous snakes to kill employees of Raphael and that hits close to him since Andrea is familiar with these workers and she believes in justice being served. True to her protective and badass nature she won't let anything or anyone get in the way of her investigation despite her uneasy personal life. "Maybe you needed backup to help you with Roman," I told him. "I don't need backup. I can take him with one hand tied behind my back." "He had one hand tied behind your back." "Maybe it looked that way from where you were sitting......" Raphael has always been described as a gorgeous, spoiled, player relentlessly sought after by women based on his looks alone and so I never took him as having much depth to his character except that he's a pretty boy to look at. Well we finally get to see the incredibly wonderful side of Raphael that left me not only crushing on his good looks but his mind as well. He's a powerful protector and he knows no lengths when it comes to getting the attention of the one he loves. It's apparent in this book that he would walk through fire if it meant protecting Andrea and making her his. I just love these Boudas when they get all growly and possessive when claiming "mine". RAWR. Some of my most memorable scenes in this book involved the verbal sparring between Andrea and Raphael, and it felt like I was a voyeur into a couples foreplay. It was sexy, hot and irresistible to watch. His voice was sweet as honey. "Darling, do you need me to loan you some money?" "Ive never in my life needed you to loan me money. If I were dead, and the ferryman needed a coin to take me across the river to the afterlife, and you had the only quarter in existence, I'd tell you to stick it up your ass." Asciano is such a cool character, we don't really get to know much of him in the past but luckily we truly get to know more of him. He a teen bouda that rivals Raphael's man charm and charisma. He's funny, fearless and can hold his own in a fight, all the while working as intern at The Cutting Edge with Kate and Andrea. He has grown so much in character since we first met him and he's growing into a young man that is going to be a powerful man. I loved Asciano. A loud hyena cackle rang through the clearing. I turned. He stood on top of the beast. Blood drenched his fur. His monstermouth split in a happy, psychotic grin. So I've visited Graceland a few times since I have a momma that is obsessed with Elvis Pressley and something I was fascinated with was that in his home he has shag carpet not only on the floor but in the walls as well. All I can say is that, there's some purple carpet that had me rolling over with laughter and all I could think of was Graceland! LOL. Mating rituals, need I say more? "I asked you a question," Raphael said, his voice saturated with menace. Roman's voice turned icy. "And I told you to f*-k yourself. Which part wasn't clear?" Roman the volhv, has turned into a character that I'm anticipating hearing more from. He's so funny and his sparring matches with Raphael are unforgettable and I just love reading about two men measuring their "sticks" in female attention rivalry. He's gorgeous and powerful and I'm dying to see him paired up with an equally witty character myself. Between he and Asciano, these two can steal a scene from anyone they're so charismatic. To me being a shapeshifter meant being hurt, degrades, and living in fear. Every bone in my body had been broken by shapeshifter a before I was the years old. I've been stabbed, punched and kicked, whipped, and set on fire. I've watched my mother being beaten to a bloody pulp repeatedly and with vicious glee. I had rejected that life and chose the Order instead. The Knights were my pack and Ted was my alpha. Andrea has a tortured past that we finally discover in Gunmetal Magic and my heart broke for her. Until reading this installment, Ilona Andrews has brilliantly kept us in the dark about her dreary and tragic childhood that left her vulnerable and robbed her of a happy life as an adolescent. With this torture we will now understand the true reasoning behind why she feels more comfortable hiding her shifter side and remaining in favor of only exposing her human side. When the Order released her from their service upon discovering her secret, that's when we truly got a glimpse of Andrea's shame that surrounds her shifter side, her fear of her Beastkin becoming public knowledge and her stubbornness to let down her guard. I'll admit I was puzzled in the past as to why Andrea would lack the pride in her shifter self that all the other shifters possess and I might have briefly blamed her for hurting Raphael and not throwing away her pride and meeting him halfway, but I was completely wrong. Andrea needs to deal with her painful past her own way and her journey begins in Gunmetal Magic and I'm so elated to see the powerful and positive change in Andrea towards herself, her shifter abilities as well as her strength to let the past go, forgive, yet to never forget her torture and the strength to know that she can assist other shifters and make sure they never endure the pain she once endured. For that I felt this book was truly outstanding!!!! Its obvious as to why Andrea is such a strong and admirable character because she has an ugly past that has shaped and molded her into the awesome character she is today! The three shapeshifters stared at me, open-mouthed. "That's how you intimidate people. No witnesses and not a mark on him. Get your asses to the car." If you're going in reading this book hoping for cameos with Kate and Curan you will get your cameos, however I didn't miss Kate and Curran when they were not around because Ilona Andrews proves once against how amazing this lovely pair know how to write amazing love stories, intertwined with a dark and scary plot that managed to keep me laughing and cheering the entire book. I was glued until the very end, and upon completing it, I wanted more. These exceptional authors know how to flirt with danger, tug at my heart strings and leave me yearning for more. Gunmetal Magic is a MUST read. It was incredible, and Andrea's charm was stunning. "Bad days, good days, 'I'll cut you if you look at me the wrong ways' days. I'll take them all."

"Don't like verbena, do you?" "Not many Lycans do. It burns something fierce." "I shall keep that in mind, in the event you decide to get out of line." D "Don't like verbena, do you?" "Not many Lycans do. It burns something fierce." "I shall keep that in mind, in the event you decide to get out of line." Daisy Ellis Craigmore is the sassy widowed sister of Miranda Archer the heroine in Firelight. It's been slightly over a year since her hateful, old, abusive husband has succumbed to death, and she is finally attempting to live the life of freedom and excitement she yearns for. We were introduced to her in Firelight, and immediately I knew that she was going to be a heroine I would enjoy; spoiled, feisty, wealthy, and beautiful. "Till my last breath." When Daisy attends a party she is attacked by a werewolf, fortunately she is rescued from the attack by Ian Renulf, the Marquis of Northrup. When we were first introduced to Ian in Firelight, I wasn't a fan, he came across arrogant, undesirable, and reluctant to stop the pursuit of a married woman Miranda Archer (Daisy's sister) even though she belonged to his one time friend. However, with all this in mind I knew that Kristen Callihan had a surprise up her sleeve and that she was going to leave us swooning after the completion of Moonglow, and she did not disappoint. "Now that that is settled, there is one more bit of business before I'm done ye." He turned back to Northrup. "Payment for Alan." A ripple of excitement went through the hall, and Daisy's stomach clenched, for it held the taint of violence in it. Fangs lengthened, and the rangy scent of wolf grew deeper. All of it directed at Northrup. Northrup didn't flinch. "Get on with it then." "As you wish." Conall's black eyes found her, sending a chill of ice down her spine. "And let the lass watch." Ian Ranuof, the Maruis of Northrup, has long ago abandoned his Lycan clan after suffering a devastated loss of someone he loved dearly. With the desire to live a "normal life" he has been clan-less and doing a remarkably good job at being a loner, with not much of a desire to get close to a human "mortal" woman. His seventy years without leading his fathers clan has left him incapable of showing or even developing emotion for anyone or anything besides himself. That was once true until Daisy Craigmore becomes the object of his affections. Even his desire for Daisy's sister Miranda in Firelight was simply a display of carnal desires towards her without any emotional connection whatsoever. Strengthened by it, Daisy pulled herself up. Fear me. Beside her, Conall looked at her as if seeing a ghost. She smiled with grim satisfaction, the feeling of fearlessness like a drug in her veins. Runaway, little wolf, or I shall kill you., We also meet Ian's brother Conall the leader of the Ranulf clan, and he's portrayed as the villain, but I found myself loving him a bit more with each scene because he didn't come across as evil, he came across as a villain that was only one because he ruled with fear not with love because that was all he knew to keep his pack under control at the risk of losing them to his brother Ian. I know who you are, he wanted to shout. You are brave, funny. Fresh air in this smothered town. And utterly blind if you cannot see what I am. Upon rescuing Daisy, he discovers this wolf is attacking women that wear her perfume, which becomes a puzzle to Daisy as well because this is a specially designed perfume for only Daisy. They must unravel the mystery of how these women are obtaining a perfume that only Daisy should have in her possession, and why would this wolf only desire to attack women wearing her perfume. Upon this discovery Ian decides that he must take Daisy under his protection in his home while he tracks down the murderous werewolf and protects what is quickly becoming "his" as reluctant as Daisy is to accept his protection. "I couldn't bear it, Daisy, if you died. I don't want to live in a world without your light. Letting my wolf free did not matter if it saved you." I fell in LOVE with Ian!!! He's such a passionate hero and his protectiveness made him be irresistible. Daisy and Ian were an ideal match because she's feisty, stubborn, vulnerable and loyal to those she loves. They both hold secrets and are tortured souls and when these secrets are slowly revealed, it brought them closer together and made it much more apparent as to why this hero and heroine belong together. Their romance is not instantly revealed thankfully, but it becomes a slow and simmering seduction that made Moonglow unable to put down. I couldn't stop reading it from the moment I opened the first page, I was captivated by this beautiful world that Kristen Callihan was adding to what we already were introduced to in Firelight. "However, I doubt that you could handle me. Somehow I think you prefer your women either unavailable or subservient. I am neither." Miranda, is not in favor of this romance between her sister Daisy and Ian yet she fails to become acquainted to the Ian that Daisy is falling for, and he saves this romantic and passionate side for only his "Daisy-Girl". These two had such lovely and vigorous banter between the two of them, that while I found myself laughing out loud with upon reading their banter it became quite obvious that their banter was built up sexual tension filled with lots of heat. The sex scenes in Moonglow will leave you blushes but most certainly satisfied because they're incredibly sexy and hot. If she treated him with pity, he'd howl and leave her standing alone on the street, but her pert chin merely lifted. "If you've land to swoon simply so you can look up my skirts, I'll kick your head and leave you where you lay." An exciting supernatural introduction belongs to the GIM's (Ghosts in the Machine) and I was fascinated by these creatures. These GIM's have the Steampunk element that is often introduced in the historical romances, yet they are quite unique and I hope we have more appearances from them in the next installments by Kristen Callihan. I have a favorite GIM but you'll have to wait to read Moonglow to decide if you have a favorite one as well.;) "Daisy-girl, I cannot tell you how much it pleases me to hear that you can defend yourself when threatened. But if ye think that such revelations will cause me to take leave of my senses and put you in direct path of danger, then ye've gone as daft as a wee loon." Moonglow has succeeded all of my expectations, and after reading the gloriously seductive and scorching hot debut Firelight, my expectations were extremely high. If you have yet to read Firelight I suggest you do because both books are simply amazing! I recommend Moonglow for lovers of paranormal romance with a heavy historical romantic world. The supernatural creatures in this romance is fascinating. If you love a Victorian England theme, steampunk, werewolves, vampires, shifters, tortured heroes and strong, fearless heroines then this is the romance that you will be glad you picked up. Moonglow is a must read on release day!! He broke the kiss first, but he didn't let her go. "Hasn't it seeped into your thick head yet, Daisy-Meg," he whispered, his hands roaming her back, neck, shoulders, "there isn't anything you can do that will make me stop loving you. You might break my heart, but it is yours anyway." The ending of Moonglow left me desperately wanting to read Winterblaze immediately as Callihan did a incredibly awesome job of introducing the next hero and heroine and I'm eager to see how that obstacle will play out.

"What are we going to do, Kitten?" My toes curled at the deep octave of his voice. "I don't know." "I have a few ideas."I cracked a grin. "I'm sure you "What are we going to do, Kitten?" My toes curled at the deep octave of his voice. "I don't know." "I have a few ideas."I cracked a grin. "I'm sure you do.""Wanna hear about then? Although, I'm much better at the show part rather than the tell.""Somehow, I believe you." "If you didn't, I could always give you a teaser." He paused, and I could hear the smile in his voice. "You bookish people love teasers, don't you?" I laughed. "You've been doing your research on my blog." "Maybe," he replied. "Like I said, I've got to keep an eye on you, Kitten." So when I finished Obsidian which absolutely blew my mind, I was sure that Onyx could never live upto my expectations because well it seemed impossible. Yet to my utter amazement Jennifer L. Armentrout has astonished me because Onyx blew doors off of Obsidian (which I rated 5 SHOUTY stars) It was incredible! I love my gritty, darker reads, and Onyx brought a darker sinister side out for me to frolic in. "Very bad Kitty....." Obsidian was the hottest YA I've had the pleasure of reading with the sexual tension so incredibly hot, and now it has lost its title because Onyx stole it because it was so unbearably hotter that readers and bloggers around the world (including myself) are probably pregnant right now with alien babies....No joke, for reals! "How can you still want me?" I said. Daemon pressed his forehead against mine. "Oh, I still want to strangle you. But I'm insane. You're crazy. Maybe that's why. We just make crazy together." Onyx begins shortly after the previous events that occurred in Obsidian and Katy (my most favorite fictional blogger babe) is putting all her effort into pushing the ubber sexy Alien- Licious Daemon Black away for fear that his attraction to her is based purely on their alien connection that was formed in Obsidian. I myself would have jumped at the opportunity to date Daemon Black , but not Katy because she's too smart "I'm not going to let some punk-ass human talk about you like that, especially him or his friends." However, Daemon Black is not the kind of alien to easily walk away taking NO for an answer and so he relentlessly pursues Katy and showers her with affection and symbolic treats while leaving himself vulnerable if Katy will open her heart to him. He's beyond swoon worthy! Just then, the double doors opened, slamming off the white cement walls. Daemon came through the entrance, head lowered and eyes like glowing orbs. Even in my state, I could feel the power radiating off him. Not a Luxen power, but a human one- one born of desperation and pain. He looked at *---* and quickly dismissed him. His gaze found me and stayed. A multitude of emotions flickered across his face. So, poor broken, yet determined Sizzling hot Daemon Black *RAWR* is anxiously waiting for Katy to declare her eternal love to him, but he has the obstacle of proving to her his feelings are sincere and not being manipulated by their freaky alien bond that is coveted by sexy alien lovers worldwide right now! A boy walked in, wearing a vintage PAC-Man shirt-which was made of awesome. He was new, obviously. His brown hair artfully messy, like it was styled that way on purpose. Good looking, too, with golden-colored skin. As unbelievable as this sounds there's another male that shows up as a contender for the object of Katy's heart. He's a surfer, human, and shares a love for blogging so Katy views him as the "safer" choice and on paper he seems like a catch. Honestly though I didn't dare cheat on Daemon for even a second. When I chose a male love interest I stay loyal to the final page. I mean who wants normal when we can have sexy, intelligent, powerful, incredibly charming, charismatic and oh yeah *cough* he lights up like a bulb when he's around too? I know who would want that??! No worries Katy ill take that handful Daemon off your hands if he's too much of a hero for you to handle. ;) *wink* "Daemon was staring. Not at me, but at the boy next to me. There wasn't anything friendly in the hard line of his jaw or his sharp jewel-toned eyes. Daemons gaze slid to mine. There was an utter deep in my chest. I tried to draw in a breath, but I felt pierced. My lips tingled. There was definitely no competition there. Blake seems to be occupying much of Katy's time and since he's ell aware of the Lux (Aliens) she feels she can trust him, but honestly any guy coming in between my Katy/Daemon time regardless of his qualities MUST GO!!! LOL. "Fine!" I threw my hands in the air. "Yes, you mean something to me. What you did for me on Thanksgiving-that made me...." My voice cracked. "That made me happy. You made me happy. And I still care for you. Okay? You mean something to me--something I can't really even put into words because everything seems too lame in comparison. I've always wanted you, even when I hated you. I want you even though you drive me freaking insane." Oh Jennifer L. Armentrout, I'll admit you held my heart stings in the palm of your hand during most of this read. You're writing is so sensational that although Onyx is told from the POV of Katy, I felt as if I could feel Daemon's passionate emotions emanating like a beacon off each page sending me into a frenzy. What I find admirable in Katy is that she doesn't loose herself in a guy just because he declares his affections to her, she's smart and plays it safe until she knows it's genuine. These two are beyond adorable together as their witty banter and fiery sexual tension melts off each page, leaving me fascinated and oh so envious of Katy! *sigh* My breath shuddered in my chest. I squeezed my eyes shut and swore. What I was feeling wasn't right. The last time I'd been this jealous was when all the bloggers went to a book conference last year and mom wouldn't let me go. Hell, this was worse. I wanted to scream. I wanted to run back in there and pull out every strand of Ash's hair. Jealousy I had no right to coursed through my veins, blinding any rational thought trying to tell me I was being stupid. But my blood was boiling. The DOD has become an obstacle to Katy, Daemon and the rest of the aliens and their presence has caused an uproar of unease throughout Onyx. We also learn much more about the events of the disappearance of Bethany and Dawson and I was blindsided when the facts came to light. The building tension set up the most unexpected twist in the story that left me sad, angry, and terribly heartbroken, but don't let that scare you because the plot is woven beautifully. Jennifer L. Armentrout has the clever ability to intertwine disastrous outcomes, engaging plots, passionate grand gestures and mystery which I reveled in like it was ultimate "Brain Candy". I kissed him softly, sliding my hands into his silky locks, letting the pieces slide through my fingers. I tasted in him my own rising desire, my own need and heartache. Thrilling. Frightening. I pulled back. "Kitten," he said again, voice strained. "You don't get to do that and then stop. That's not how it works." I stared at him, my breath stalling in my lungs. "Not when you're mine." Daemon backed us up and slid down the wall, pulling me onto his lap so I was straddling him. "And you're mine." If you're looking for an incredibly sexy, and riveting new installment in the richly addictive Lux series then I highly suggest you read Onyx on release date don't wait!! ! Onyx is a MUST READ for fans of Daemon Black, Katy or sexy Alien-Licious guys that we can't resist. I was mesmerized from the first page of Onyx and even though I read it recently I'm yearning for another re-read immediately. How can you pass up an electrifying plot with a passionate love story that sizzles off the pages? I recommend Onyx for everyone! Do yourself a favor and pick up this sparkly gem and work yourself into a frenzy as I did. Thanks to Jennifer L. Armentrout I'm sitting here plotting a way to get from my home in California to West Virginia in desperate search for a Daemon Black of my own. The most disappointing part of Onyx was the end and although it's not too far away, I'm obsessed with these gorgeous aliens and I want to read Opal now instead of waiting four torturous months for its release date of December 11, 2012. "This reaper dude sounds like my kind of guy. He gets to kill people for a living." "Don't forget. There are cooler things out there than fallen angels and dead guys. Just saying." He winked.

His gaze drilled into her very soul. "What are you thinking about, Annabelle?" Huskily asked, a caress to each of her senses. Like him, she couldn't li His gaze drilled into her very soul. "What are you thinking about, Annabelle?" Huskily asked, a caress to each of her senses. Like him, she couldn't lie. Not this time, the truth already proven by the softening of her lips. "Kissing you." His gaze immediately dropped to her lips, his pupils gobbling up his irises. "Why?" Because you think I'm a prize. Because, when you look at me, I feel cherished rather than leered at. "I believe you'll be familiar with my answer----because." Wicked Nights is the dark and sexy debut new paranormal romance series by Gena Showalter featuring angels. These angels have been scattered amongst her Lords of the Underworld series, so I was ecstatic to hear they would be staring in their own series titled Angels of the Dark. Showalter does not disappoint, and from the beginning of the book I was fascinated and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. The story begins four years after Annabelle Miller witnesses a demon savagely murder her parents on her Eighteenth birthday while she helplessly fought to save them from death. She has been wrongfully convicted of murdering her parents and has been serving her time sentenced at the Moffat County Institute for the Criminally Insane, in the Colorado mountains. Unfortunately she is the only human that can visualize these demons that victimize her daily, and therefore leading to the further speculation that she is criminally insane, and no longer fit to be rehabilitated into a positive member of society. It breaks my heart to read that Annabelle has not only been victimized by the demon that killed her parents as well as her dreams of a normal life but she is now a victim of a sleazy creepy doctor that she has nicknamed Dr. Fritzpervert that uses sedation to force himself upon her body daily. Finally an army of unruly angels have become aware of the demon infestation at the Moffat Institute and have now deemed it their responsibility to rid the demon festation and protect the humans at all costs. This man could teach her, she thought. This heavenly man who appeared so devilish, like a dark, seductive dream meant to lure a female straight into midnight temptations. Dangerous....Yes, this man is dangerous...... Zacharel is the brutally SEXY-Licious commander of these group of unruly angels that have been working together for the past three months since their Deity gave them one year to prove they are worthy of keeping their wings. None of these angels wish to become Fallen Angels and each of their behavior reflects on the entire group ultimately dooming themselves and Zacharel to life without wings if they fail. Ultimately upon meeting Annabelle he gives her a chance to be rescued away from further abuse, but she's going to have trust this ferocious warrior Zacharel if she expects to survive, or die trying. Annabelle is fierce, feisty and so kind hearted with such a strong and courageous soul. I was instantly enthralled with how she stood up to Zacharel and challenged his every word, without even a desire to heed the consequences. It was riveting to watch such an aloof angel used to commanding orders without rebuttal yet, Annabelle such a feisty human questions and refuses even the simplest commands he gives her, yet he recedes giving her free will to do as she pleases. "This is no way to speak to me, Annabelle. I am in a dangerous mood." Zacharel is such a voracious warrior and I was fascinated with his tortured story. Sadly his past has left him a hardened shell of the carefree angel he once was before the loss of a loved one. His past has dictated his inner turmoil and his suffering leading to a life without love, and a focus on cruelty. Having kept himself closed off from romantic interactions for so long, I've found it endearing to watch his cold outer shell thaw into an angel with a desire for someone other than himself. Zacharel and Annabelle both from their first meet ignite such intoxicating passion and sexual tension, it wasn't difficult getting wrapped up in it. "Very well. But I must admit, taking care of a female is more difficulty than even I imagined." "Hey! I am not high maintenance. I'm spunky." His gaze met hers for a protracted second. "To a man who has spent centuries seeing to only his own needs, you are indeed high maintenance, but I'm finding I do not mind maintaining you." Together these two charmed their way into each others heart, as well as my own while they works together to discover the identity of the demon that has spent the last four years spending his minions to torture and injure Annabelle, ultimately putting a target on his back as an enemy of Zacharel. From the first time Zacharel met Annabelle he has a desire to protect her, and possess her heart, mind and soul, and with this demon interfering with her safety his defeat has now became Zacharel's greatest ambition, and those familiar with Zacharel know that ambition is not something he lacks. " You were warned," Zacharel said before Annabelle had time to react. He smiled, but it was not the kind smile Annabelle could wring from him. It was the cruelest of all. His wings flared from his back as he grabbed him by the waist. "You don't care what I do to you? Well, let's see if I can change your mind." As a Lords of the Underworld fan I was delighted to see appearances from a few of my favorite demons and their fiery women! I recommend Wicked Nights for fans of sexy, dark paranormal romance fans who find themselves fascinated with tortured heros and heroines. I LOVED Wicked Nights, and true to Gena Showalter form she will wrap you up in this story where you don't want to put it down, tug at your heart strings, excite you with a spicy romantic story, side characters your eager to get to know more, and world building that will you will desire to read the next book immediately. I'm already a huge fan of sexually deviant yet loyal Thane and selfless and tortured Kobo, and I'm hoping the next book will feature one of them. Wicked Nights is a must read for all paranormal romance fans, so you must read it immediately! "You are mine," he rasped. "Only ever mine. I accept all that you are, and we can be together.

"I thought you said I was afraid of nothing once," "I did." "I was afraid of something." "What?" "I'm afraid of never being allowed to feel what I do." Oh "I thought you said I was afraid of nothing once," "I did." "I was afraid of something." "What?" "I'm afraid of never being allowed to feel what I do." Oh my!!! Holy Daimon Babies, Jennifer L. Armentrout has captured my heart once again. Is it possible that I'm developing a girl crush on an author based on my obsession love for her outstanding writing skills alone? Errrrrr I have grown to full on obsession with Alex and all the mischief and politics involving the students in the covenant series. Probably what makes Jennifer L. Armentrout so incredibly proactive is her fearless ability to tackle genuine teenage issues while pushing the boundaries on delicious sexual appeal of her characters. I'm serious at times I was wishing I was having this much inhibited fun as Alex is at her age. "I was half afraid to breathe, to feel what I knew I wasn't allowed." I've enjoyed the progress Alex has made in the third installment Deity. She's still impulsive and careless at times, however she is now learning that her actions carry consequences and as unpleasant as that seems she is maturing into a fierce and honorable young adult. "Well there's this really big, blond god raising all kinds of hell with Hades right now. Apparently you're still in limbo or something. Your soul is still up for grabs." Lucian, and Telly repulsed me on so many levels with their immoral behavior and treatment towards Half-Bloods, Pures and their basic manipulation of one another. This book had me in pure angst and turmoil from beginning to end. I was excited to discover Gods revealed, some good, bad and absolutely horrific. Marcus has truly become such a charismatic character that I'm starting to pull for all wonderful things in his favor and I'm eager to see the direction in which his and Alex's relationship goes. Luke, Deacon, Olivia, Leon and The Sentinel are becoming interesting side characters that I have grown to love. "I wanted to gag. There was no way Seth could be falling for this ass-kissery of epic levels. It was obvious from the way Lucian simpered and cooed. It was blatant, but by the gods, Seth looked like he'd just been handed a million dollars and been told he could spend it on girls and liquor." Oh my Seth!!!! What can be said about him?? He captured my heart lust from the first moment he was introduced in Half-Blood. I find myself mesmerized my his hell hath no furry attitude. Maybe it's his rebellious bad boy attitude or maybe his smoldering confidence, his arrogance or perhaps his captivating tattoos that caught my attention, regardless I'm a Seth lover and no matter what he does And oh boy does he destroy my heart in Deity I can't get rid of my Seth withdrawals I'm having after finishing Deity. He's my drug of choice and I don't want to go to rehab. I'm hoping that Jennifer L. Armentrout will fix my poor Seth and bring him back to the Apollyon I grew to love because I'm sorry to say it but I'm just not an Aiden fan. I'm quite positive that Aiden has a huge following but unfortunately it's not me. He's a sweet guy, loyal and honorable, but I'm sad to say that I wish Aiden would have a happily ever after with anyone but Alex. Lol. Once you read Deity, you will understand why and most likely think I'm absolutely crazy for still seeing "good" in Seth, and not switching teams for Aiden. I guess when I fall in love lust with a book boyfriend I'm faithful to a fault. *Wink* Lol "I tensed, my chest tightening. His breath was war and tantalizing on my lips, and then they brushed across mine so softly. That simple act stole my breath, my heart. But even as he pulled away, I realized that he couldn't steal something he already had." There's a reason why I'm a huge Jennifer L. Armentrout fan, and that's because she has such a special talent that causes me to fall in love with her characters, tug at my heart strings while leaving me panting for more with her cliffhanger endings. I have a soft spot for mythological books and the Covenant series is quickly maneuvering its way to the top of my auto buy list. There's so many things I want to say, but I don't want to spoil any of Deity for the fans because take my word for it, but Jennifer L. Armentrout left me completely speechless and you must read it for yourself. Jennifer L. Armentrout has shocked me with her ending as usual. Deity left me feeling emotionally drained, saddened, excited and anxiously waiting like a child on Christmas morning for the fourth installment Apollyon in the incredible Covenant series. If loving Seth is wrong, After reading Deity, I think its wrong I don't wanna be right. Deity is another Must Read!! Do yourself a favor and grab your copy today.

"I am an excellent fuck," she hissed. "I am the best thing that ever happened to your sorry, deluded, preejaculating ass. You just didn't have the good taste to recognize it. And you know what? Now I don't even know why I put up with you. I had a better sex life with five minutes and my hand in a hot shower." Dragon Bound starts out with Pia a Half Wyre being forced by ex scumbag boyfriend to steal from a dragon. Already this story has me wanting to delve into the story to know what would posses her to follow through with it and how does she pull it off. Her conscious takes over and she leaves an apology note to the Alpha-Licious Dragon names Dragos. Fortunately he becomes angry, determined to located the thief by any means possible and settle on a punishment. However once he sets his eyes on Pia he discovers he'd rather pet her than kill her. From that moment on he sets out to posses her in mind, body and soul. I found Pia to be a likable heroine yet I didn't love her. She wasn't bad-ass but she wasn't a wimp either. I just didn't connect with her, but she still was enjoyable heroine because I thought her and Dragos shared cute and playful banter together that most likely wouldn't have molded together as well with a more assertive character. But at the same time she was a bit damaged growing up as an outsider and having an in again off again ex boyfriend constantly making you feel worthless make me feel compassionate toward her. "I am old and I am often cruel and calculating, and it is not safe to be around me when I am in a rage. I do not apologize for what I am. I am a predator, and I rule other string-minded predators. But I do not mean to distress you." Dragos was one sexy beast of a dragon! He can light my fire any day! When he *GROWLS* that's the hottest thing, it makes me want to listen to the book in audio just for those scenes alone. I love that he's Alpha, he's barbaric, he's angry, he's powerful, he's sexy and he's unapologetic for his uncivilized behavior. Yet he when he's around Pia even when he's all those things mentioned above he's still trying to conform to be what she likes and tend to her needs as only a lover can do. He laid a hand on her cheek. "You're mine," he said. "You can deny it, argue, throw fits try to run way. But. You're. Still. Mine." I'm probably in the minority for saying this but, the story was a bit slower paced than I was expecting after hearing Thea Harrison's writing to be compared to the likes of Nalini Singh and JR Ward. See I'm obsessed with Nalini Singh and JR Ward, so it was unfortunate that I went in with too much expectation because let's be fair, those two authors are in a PNR category of their own. However, I still really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read the next book in the series because this was a fun start to a sexy new paranormal romance series. I can see why so many people love Thea Harrison's writing because her world building is exceptional with fascinating paranormal creatures such as Dragons, Gryphons, Goblins, Fae, Witches, Shape shifters, and Gargoyles. She also writes smutty filled sex scenes that we're so hot I had turn a fan on just to cool myself down a few times. This book has me thinking about sexy dragons now, and how can I find one for myself. "It means, you stupid woman, that I am learning too. Now you listen to me. I never stop thinking about you. You're with me everywhere I go but I miss you when we're apart. I've already shown that I will kill for you. I would also die for you. You make me laugh. You make me happy. You're my miracle and my home. If you so much as twitch, I get a hard on. I will always come for you, always want you, and always need you. We clear?" The next book will be about "Tricks" and Thiago and I really enjoyed their characters. Whereas Thiago was charming Tricks was hilarious and I can't wait to read their story next. I highly recommend this series, and I'm excited to see where Thea Harrison takes us in the next book!

"You're hot, big deal," I shot back, refusing to let his knowledge of my most intimate thoughts daunt me. "I'm attracted to a lot of hot guys. If Chris Hemsworth were here, I'd light him up like a firecracker with his fast I'd jump on him." "And that would kill him," Vlad noted. Oh wow!! Once again Jeaniene Frost has blown my mind!! While reading Once Burned I had the same euphoric feeling I had while reading Halfway To The Grave for the very first time. Although Bones and Vlad are completely different, right now I can easily say that Vlad has stolen my heart and Bones has some serious competition!! Once Burned is a spin-off series to The Night Huntress series, and now that I've read it I'm already eagerly anticipating the next installment. While luxuriating in this romantic story it was easy to imagine the arrogant and rightfully earned Vlad Tepesh looking as stunning as the cover model Paul Marron with his chiseled body and jaw dropping features. I'm in complete and unremorseful Fangirl mode about yet another well deserved fictional male character. "That one tickled. If electrocution is your way of flirting, I commend you on your originality." Meet Leila an outcast who also goes by the name Frankie.I absolutely adored Leila and I couldn't picture any other heroine playing her role. She's has had a dark and dreary past full of heartbreak and tragedy. What I admired most about Leila was that she embraced her nickname Frankie, shortened from Frankenstein and didn't let her disfigurement prevent her from living a fulfilling life of her choosing. Her freakishly horrific accident as a young girl occurred when she touched a downed power line that left her with a tragic yet awesomely cool disability. That disability came with consequences though because she is left scared and disfigured, yet still stunningly beautiful inside and outside. Not only must she avoid touching those she comes into contact with because she may electrocute them with her touch, but she also has the fascinating gift of psychometry. One of the most prolific character traits about Leila is that she doesn't allow her tragic past to dictate her future. She is strong willed, sassy and is determined not to live in fear of rejection or shame of her abilities that I found freakishly awesome. Wow, electrocuting an unsuspecting person with one touch, or reading another's past or future with one brief passing, how fascinating! Bones nodded. "Better, but still not slit-your-own-throat annoying. Come on, Leila. Do you want this or not?" "Perfect. Repeat that whenever Tepesh is around you, and he'll run screaming in no time." With the unforgiving gift of Psychometry, with one touch Leila can sense the persons most unforgivable sin, or regret or future and therefore she avoids contact with everyone she encounters at all cost, except her work partner Marty. Luckily Marty can withstand the electric shock much easier than the average human, well because he's not a human, he's a vampire. When Leila joined the circus as an entertainment act her partner given to her was Marty, and through their father daughter like relationship they truly have an endearing and charming family bond I enjoyed. Auburn Hair's name was Jackal, according to what his friends called him. Their names sounded equally made up, so I mentally referred to them as Pervert, Psycho, and Twitchy since the last one couldn't stay still. Shortly into Once Burned Leila is kidnapped by vampires looking to seek her services to destroy a powerful vampire and when she glimpses the brutal vampire they look to kill she finds herself frightened because whereas these men seemed scary they in no way can compare to the fire wielding merciless killer she viewed that smiled with glee while watching the death of another at his hands. Another shock Leila/Frankie discovers is that while using her gift of voyeurism Vlad senses she's watching him and when he demands to know her identify, she quickly must chose whether to trust the vampire who is as gorgeous as he is frightening or the relentless vampire kidnappers that are holding her hostage. "If you betray me with another man, I'll burn him to death in front of you." When Vlad first showed up in the Night Huntress series, I was instantly mesmerized by his character and when I heard he was starring in his own spin-off I was certain that I was going to get a charming, soft hearted loyal vampire. Hot Damn was I wrong!! The best thing about Once Burned is that Jeaniene Frost saves all his delicious and ALPHA glory for his Night Prince series. He's her best kept secret, even though I said that with Mencheres in his own book, but seriously Vlad has so much depth and character to him that it's almost like reading about an entirely different character. "It must be important or he wouldn't dare disturb me now," he murmured. Then he drew away to look at me. "if it's not, I'll kill him and return to you directly." He's ruthless and demands loyalty, he's possessive with what he deems "his", his witt kept me laughing while readung, his charm had me swooning his every word, his mysterious side left me yearning to know more about him, and his arrogance that made him such an ass has pushed me into full fangirl obsession mode with Vlad. Tepesh is simply intoxicating, and days later I'm still thinking about him washing his rock hard aroused body in a icy cold shower. Squuueeeeee! "Good, because I wouldn't enjoy killing you. Thus far you're not boring or irritating; a rarity. I also reward those loyal to me, Leila, but know this--you need not fear anyone else asking as your under my protection." From the moment I started reading it was difficult to put the book down because with every page I kept saying to myself one more chapter, but there wasn't even a chance to stop because the pace was exhilarating, exciting and I was eager to discovery the face behind the kidnapping. I enjoyed the setting in Romania at Vlad enormous compound with all his eccentric antiques and loyal staff, antiquated timepieces, and abundantly rich living arrangements. "We all belong to Vlad," he said, patting my knee in a comforting way. Maximus's gaze went from gray to bright green in an instant. "Not like she does, so remove your hand or I will remove it from your body. No one touches her except Vlad." Together with Leila's Psychometry help, Vlad and those loyal to him set out to discover the true identity and location of the person desiring to use Leila's gift to ultimately draw an unsuspecting Vlad out and kill him. But Vlad Tepesh is a brutal force to be recognize with because he's so powerful beyond other supernatural beings that he's not easily killed. Not only is he immune to Leila's electrical shock but he's also a mind reader, immune to fire, Telekinesis wielder and a Voracious warrior in and out of the boudoir. I shivered at the graze of his mouth and his seductively growled words. If he used that same tone of voice in bed, he could probably get away with skipping foreplay. He laughed. "I very much enjoy foreplay. Didn't your vision show you that?" Once Burned is a must read for fans of paranormal romance and especially Jeanine Frost fans!!! This book was amazing, and while this book has plenty of spark for romance lovers, the action scenes were flawless with plenty of flames erupting on the battle field as well as behind closed doors. Whereas Leila is sassy, brave and strong willed, Vlad is protective, masculine, Alpha and oozing sexual appeal. My only Dissapointment is that now I must wait for the next installment in the exhilarating romantic adventures of Vlad and Leila. Read this book immediately!!!!! I loved it. SHOUTY capitals!! "I've let few people touch me in friendship, fewer still as a lover, but none in anger without extracting my vengeance......yet you struck me, and I did nothing." His voice deepened. "If you don't find sufficient apology in that, then you don't know me at all."

Commodity traders think about the United States for natural gas, Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern nations for oil, Africa for gold, and Asia for foods such as rice. In doing so, they sometimes ignore commodity-rich Canada [for more commodity news and analysis subscribe to our free newsletter].
Canada has the seventh-largest economy in the world and is the second-largest country by land mass. It has a wealth of natural resources, making it a large energy and minerals exporter. For commodity traders looking to invest primarily in North America, Canada presents a compelling opportunity.
Canada"s Top Commodity Exports
At $94.8 billion (all figures are quote in Canadian dollars), energy products are the largest of Canada"s exports. Although Canada increased energy product exports to China by almost half from 2008 to 2010, the United States remains Canada"s principal energy destination, importing nearly 12 times more than China.
- Crude Oil: Crude oil is Canada"s largest commodity export. Valued at $87 billion per year, Canada"s oil industry produces 2.1 billion barrels of crude each day making it the sixth-largest crude oil producer on the planet. The United States is the top importer of Canadian oil followed by Russia and the United Kingdom.
- Natural Gas: Natural gas accounted for $16.7 billion in total exports in 2011. The country"s 700 active production facilities brought approximately 7 million cubic meters to the world's markets making it the sixth-largest natural gas producer in the world [see also 25 Ways To Invest In Natural Gas].
- Coal: Canada has 23 mines producing 68 million tons each year. In 2010, Canada exported nearly 33 million tons—almost a quarter more than in 2009. Asia is Canada's largest coal trading partner accounting for nearly three quarters of total exports.
- Gold: Although none of the world's 10 largest gold mines are located in Canada, gold is Canada's second largest export and home to almost three-quarters of the world's mining companies, making it the fourth-largest gold mining country in the world. Most Canadian gold comes from underground and open-pit mines in Quebec and Ontario.
- Maple Syrup: Our neighbors to the north are also the world's largest producers of maple syrup, providing more than three-quarters of the global supply. Primarily centered in Quebec, this $6.3 billion industry is comprised of more than 32,000 agricultural businesses. The overall size Da det hele tiden kommer nye mobile Casino spill, er det slett ikke vanskelig a forsta hvorfor Betsson mobil Casino har et raskt okende antall nye spillere og jackpot vinnere!Betsson er en virkelig veletablert gambling side og har et flott rykte online, derfor er det ingen overraskelse at de far bare flere og flere aktive spillere. of the market does not make this a large-scale export but the near-monopoly Canada holds jameshallison casino is notable.

Canada is the twelfth-largest commodity importer in the world.
- Crude Oil: Canadians import approximately 295 million barrels per year for a net expense of $12.2 billion. Imports take place primarily in the winter months when heating energy needs increase and, to a slightly lesser extent, during summer months during peak driving months [see also Crude Oil Guide: Brent Vs. WTI, What's The Difference?].
- Natural Gas: Canada imports nearly 700 billion cubic feet of natural gas at a cost of $3.6 billion. As natural gas prices have fallen, Canada has imported more natural gas but spent less on it. The majority of Canada's natural gas pokies online imports come from the United States.
- Electricity: Canada and the United States share an integrated electrical grid serving as importers and exporters to each mobile.the-best-casinos-online.info sportsbook turnover elevated by 260 percent in comparison to 2011 and by 12 ,. other in order to meet nearly all of each other's electrical energy needs. This not only provides for the energy needs of each country but also serves as a key element of national security.
- Food Products: The country imports more than $35 billion in agri-food imports each year. Canola and non-durum wheat top the list for a combined $8 billion. Soybeans, pork, bread, coffee, and frozen snow In between all Earth signs gemini monthly horoscope are recommended to choose Taurus. crabs are among the many other food items imported from the United States and other countries [see also 50 Ways To Invest In Agriculture].
Ways to Play the Market
Below, we outline several ways to make a play on Canada"s massive commodity industry.
- Guggenheim Canadian Energy Income (ENY): ENY is an ETF that seeks to replicate the performance of the Sustainable Canadian Energy Income Index—an index of 200 securities listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange representing the Canadian oil and gas industry.
- IQ Canada Small Cap ETF (CNDA): This small cap fund puts more than 75% of its assets in Canadian firms that fall under the energy and basic materials sectors.
- MSCI Canada Index Fund (EWC): This ETF focuses on broad Canada exposure, but over 45% of its assets are dedicated to the energy and basic materials sectors.
- Gold Explorers ETF (GLDX): A fund that invests in gold exploration companies, nearly 95% of GLDX"s assets are dedicated to Canadian firms [see also Peter Schiff: Gold Can Only Go Higher].
- Market Vectors TR Gold Miners (GDX): The mega-popular gold mining fund has over 65% of its assets in Canadian companies.
- Pengrowth Energy Corporation (PGH): PGH explores and develops oil and natural gas reserves in Canada. As of the beginning of 2012, PGH had about 4,000 producing and 1,400 non-producing oil and natural gas wells in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia.
- NovaGold Resources Inc. (NG): NG is a miner of gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead ores primarily in Alaska and British Columbia. NovaGold is headquartered in Vancouver [see also 10 Gold Miners That Pay a Dividend].
- TransCanada Corp. (TRP): TRP operates natural gas and oil pipelines in the United States and Canada. It currently owns 57,000 kilometers of natural gas pipelines and nearly 3,500 kilometers of crude oil infrastructure. In addition, TransCanada has interests in power plants with a combined total capacity of nearly 11,000 megawatts.
In 2011, the value of Canada's total minerals production increased by just under 25%, reaching a record $50.3 billion. Coal production rose more than 25% while the metals market increased slightly less than 20% due to higher prices for most major metals. This upward trend has been intact for seven of the past eight years. Projections indicate an expenditure of a record $4 billion on exploration and deposit appraisal in 2012 [see also The Ten Commandments of Commodity Investing].
Canada is the second largest country in the world by land mass. It contains a wealth of untapped natural resources. In northern Canada alone, $100 billion is being poured into diamond mines, uranium exploration, new gas wells and pipeline projects. All of this points to some exceptional commodity trading opportunities in this often overlooked country.

Spoiler or Exposer of a Spoiled System: Nader Announces Presidential Bid
Democracy Now! interviews longtime consumer advocate Ralph Nader who announced he was running for president as an independent. Nader calls Washington "corporate-occupied territory" but democrats as well as leftists and independents accuse Nader of being a "spoiler" who will only increase President Bush's chances of reelection. [includes transcript]February 23, 2004 | Story
Don't miss Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman on "Melissa Harris-Perry," this Sunday, March 1st. The show airs live from 10 a.m. to Noon ET on MSNBC.
DN! In Depth
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan — President Barack Obama issued the third veto in his more than six years in office, rejecting the "Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act." This was the new congressional Republican majority's first bill this year. Climate scientist James Hansen, the former head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, wrote in The New York Times that if the pipeline gets built, "it will be game over for the climate." This vote and veto came as much of the United States was gripped by extreme cold weather, while most of California braces for even more drought. The corporate television newscasts spend more and more time covering the increasingly disruptive, costly and at times deadly weather. But they consistently fail to make the link between extreme weather and climate change.

Three Leading Lights Of Newcastle's 2011/2012 Season
Newcastle started this season strongly, confounding critics and pundits in the process. When Andy Carroll left for better pastures with Liverpool, everyone predicted the end of the road for Newcastle. Alan Pardew had his detractors and now he is actually being considered to be Capello's successor as England manager.
However you look at it, Newcastle, being a historical and colourful English club, they are exactly where they should be this season. The Toon Army are where they are this season due to the superb efforts of three foreign players.
Tim Krul's performance this season has been sensational. Against Manchester United, he was the reason Newcastle salvaged a 1-1 draw. 45 saves this season with six clean sheets marked him out as one of the outstanding keepers in the Premier League this season. Krul's stellar performances again shunts the unlucky Steve Harper into his all-too-familiar no. 2 spot.
The silky Yohan Cabaye looks like a player more suited to playing in a Manchester United or Liverpool team than Newcastle's. This post in NUFC Blog expertly highlights the importance of Cabaye to Newcastle.
Demba Ba started out slowly in a Newcastle shirt and every fan was baying for his head back then! Now every fan wants to kiss his head. The Senegalese striker has scored 14 goals in 15 Premier League appearances this year for Newcastle, that's 56% of all Newcastle goals!
Chieck Tiote's strong performances since his return, has got Newcastle winning again. The much sought-after midfield enforcer has reiterated his intention to stay at Tyneside and that's a boost for Alan Pardew.
The loss of the prolific Ba and combative Tiote to January's African Nations Cup will hurt Newcastle's bid to stay in seventh spot, though they do have a five point lead over Stoke City.
Alan Pardew have said no striker addition in January, so Hatem Ben Arfa, Shola Ameobi and Leon Best will have to shoulder goalscoring duties while Demba Ba attempts to win the African Nations Cup with Senegal.
Can Newcastle maintain their excellent season without the goals of Ba?

Newcastle were very very lucky to get that penalty against Man United. But every team will get some decision their way sometimes

This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed.

I think that lucky is part of skill. If you have lucky and skill you can get over a lot of games.
