Talk Nerdy to Me

Talk Nerdy to Me by Vicki Lewis Thompson

Eve Dupree has a good job as a fashion model. It's a career her parent's approve because everyone know's that Eve is the pretty one. But Eve has a hobby it's big and purple and makes a humming noise, you just know her family won't approve of that.

Charlie Shepherd is an electrical engineer with plans to work on the Hoover Dam when an explosion in Eve's garage waylays her. Soon he finds himself roped into her hobby although working is the last thing on his mind when Eve talks nerdy to him.

With a cast of loveable and colourful characters this laugh a minute book will have you chuckling non stop. With a bit of a mystery thrown in for good measure I found this to be an enjoyable read. Unfortunately the epilogue is written in a style that doesn't fit with the rest of the book and makes it feel stuck on and awkward.

This is a great book and is the fifth in the Nerd series although they can be read alone. Other books in the Nerd Series. The Nerd Who Loved me, Nerd Gone Wild, Gone With The Nerd, Nerd in Shining Armor

Secrets volume 14

Secrets Volume 14 by Angela Knight, Alexa Aames, Leigh Wyndfield, Jennifer Barlowe
Soul Kisses by Angela Knight

Beth Chase is kith, one of the few humans capable of becoming a vampire. Unfortunately master vampires hunt for kith so they may have vampire thralls to do their bidding. So when Beth is captured and the change started by an evil vampire master and her powerful vampire relatives tricked out of town what is she to do but turn to the two sexy vampires who rescue her to finish the job and push him out of her mind.

This sequel to The Forever Kiss while not as long as the original is highly erotic and very enjoyable. In truth this is the story I bought the book for. The good vamps are highly hugable and totally sympathetic while the bad vamps are nasty enough to give you goose bumps.

Temptation in Time by Alexa Aames

Ariana stole a kiss from Marcus de Grey, not a bad thing you'd think even in the middle ages except with it she stole some of his magic before she ran to the future.

Marcus has been hunting Ariana for eight years to stop her using his magic for magic has a cost and each time Ariana uses it Marcus pays the price.

Highly moving and deeply erotic you will be sure to look up more of Alexa Aame's work after reading this short story.

Ailis and the Beast by Jennifer Barlow

Ailis is to be a sacrifice to the beast, her virtue and possibly her life given to renew the life of the planet. The Beast has waited his whole life for the planet to need feeding until finally the sacrifice is offered to him. Will his desires and her blood renew the earth?

Almost beauty and the beast in nature this highly erotic and entertaining story may bring you to tears with it's poignant ending.

Night Heat by Leigh Wyndfield

After a revolt on the prison planet Velopit the Interworld-Council abandons all survivors. Seventy-five prisoners and eleven support staff find themselves without help on a planet populated with vicious raptors.

Jacob's Faith

Jacob's Faith by Lora Leigh

Six years ago Faith was given to Jacob in the council labs. Drugged with a powerful aphrodisiac only Jacob's touch can ease the powerful arousal swirling through her. An arousal that causes a need deep within Jacob to dominate her.

Since then Jacob has been avoiding Faith giving her time to grow, to forgive him for that night and to come with him. He is unaware that the mark he left on her has left her in an agony of need for him until she is sent to him and danger threatens.

This is another of Lora Leigh's wolf breeds and we all know I love them. Highly charged with both suspense and eroticism you'll be turning pages until you reach the end.

The Midnight Work

The Midnight Work by Kassandra Sims

Sophie Aubrey is having a bad week. First the sexy sounding Olivier from her web group turns into some sort of skanky stalker. Then when she runs from him she breaks her neck, but that's ok because Olivier is a vampire and brings her back.

Now Sophie is a vampire which seems kind of cool so she quickly turns her friend Norah so they can go out on a killing spree. With their super sexy vampire makeovers these two girls are set to wreck havoc on the night. But wait haven't they done this before?

Ok I have to say I was disappointed in this book. It had potential but it feels like the world isn't real to the author and if she can't convince herself how can she convince me? The characters were flat and uninspired and the action doesn't pick up until at least halfway through the book. Cover work is excellent perhaps the next book will live up to it.

This is the first book of the Feline Breeds and as you can tell I'm on a bit of a Lora Leigh spree this month.

The journey that she goes on in this book is both heart rending and stirring, compelling the reader to continue on until the last page.

While at times during this book I was honestly overcome with an impulse to smack the hero silly for the most part the book is filled with very sympathetic characters. I absolutely enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next book which will hopefully be Mangan's story.

I lost a fair bit of sleep going, 'I'll just read one more chapter' you reach the end of the book wanting more so here's hoping there's another installment in the series. Only in this world were Celtic and Greek mythology merge could a centaur be the heroine.

The three great stories in this single author anthology had me snickering into my pillow late into the night. Although I never intended on finishing the whole book before I went to sleep each tale looked so great I just had to read them all. Each story is only a day out of the couples lives but Erin manages to make you feel that the relationships will work due mostly to the hidden feelings the characters already possessed for each other. This is one of Brava's bad boys series all of which I have been finding enjoyable. I know it's an older book but I did say as I read them :)

A Darker Crimson

A Darker Crimson by Carolyn Jewel

Every human cop knows that vamps are not to be trusted and Claudia Donovan knows this more than most. So when she sees Tiberiu Korzha hovering over a couple of dead bodies she's totally suspicious afterall he's a known hit man. Then a demon snatches her daughter and everything changes.

Stuck in the demon underworld where everyone can sense what she is and desperate to free her daughter no matter the cost Claudia turns to Korzha the only one who can possibly cloak her from the demons. Finding out her daughter is half demon was a shock for sure, finding out that she has a fated demon mate who hates that she is human but can't seem to resist her anyway is a bigger shock. In the end will she choose a fated mate or a love that will span eternity.

Werewolves, Vampires, Humans and Demons. A Darker Crimson has them all. This fourth book in the crimson city series is deeply enthralling and will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. This book was impossible to put down right to the end.

There were a few inconsistencies with the rest of the series however ie demons can only have children with their vishtau mates but Claudia has already had a daughter with a demon other than the one who appears as her vishtau mate in the book. These errors can be overlooked if you consider that the series of six books is written by five separate authors.

Kitty Norville is DJ doing the deader than dirt midnight show on an alternitive public radio station when boredom leads her to accidently create a talkback show. The ratings skyrocket so what's the problem? Kitty's a werewolf and a cub at that. Her Alpha wants her to stop the show and if that's not enough incentive the Master of the local vampire family sends an assasin after her while she's on the air. Suddenly Kitty is out of the closet and is considered an expert on all things paranormal of course the attack pissed her Alpha off and now the police are thinking perhaps the animal attacks they've been having might be a werewolf but hey Kitty's inner alpha is begining to show who know's how far this girl might go.

This book is well written and edited, very hard to put down. It engages your imagination and emotions and has me hanging out for the sequel due in June/July/August.

Rated 8/10
