5 out of 5 Hearts

"With such power comes great responsibility..."

One of the many quotes from the book that jumped out at me. There is just something about a book with the Scottish/Irish brogue that makes my day, and this story has it all. The sexilicious stud, the beauty, and the evil antagonist. 

The characters are believable, likable, and well developed as well as their backgrounds. Devin is a dream, even if he is a vampire, trapped in another realm. Bobbie, is a kick ass character, an immortal witch! Allora! OMGosh the picture of evil incarnate, ruthless, and on a mission.

Bobbie Skye is going through life's obstacles when she lands the job at the MacLeod Estate in Scotland. 

Perfect timing I'd say! 

Devin MacLeod is a vampire trapped in another realm, wanting freedom so bad he can taste it. Where he is trapped blew me away. Just have to read it to find out.

Allora is an ancient, evil, vindictive, and sadistic vampire, hell bent on destruction without a moral compass in sight. I would Love to behead her... 

This first installment is Amazing! Chock full of twisted events that kept me guessing until the end. Embark on a journey of unexpected turns that will mesmerize you.

I am dying to get my grubbies on installment #2... Craving - Torment

Synopsis

Myles

I've broken every rule except the three I live by-

Never kiss on the mouth.

Never spend the night.

And NEVER...

Well a playboy never tells.

If she's not careful it won't just be those rules, and her bed I break.

I'll break her heart too.

All she was ever supposed to be was a hook up. To keep Nicole now I'll have to risk my family's billion dollar company and a prison sentence.

The game is out of control.

But I will make her mine.

Nicole

All I ever wanted was to be the first in my family to graduate college. And to pay my New York rent.

When my one night stand turns out to be the sex-crazed, Billionaire Myles Quill I'm suddenly invited to the world's most exclusive party.

The catch?

I have to go as his fiance.

Five thousand dollars and absolutely no sex. At least I wont have to worry about rent for a while.

It's just one more night. That's not so tough, right? I just won't think about how his ice cold blue eyes make my body shiver, and his flaming tongue makes my blood boil.

It's going to be a long, hard night.

If we survive the night and the surprise pregnancy test doesn't destroy us, a dark secret from my past definitely will...

Whoa! ~ This! Needs! To! Be! A! Movie!!!!

I did not care for Myles at first, he seemed a bit too privileged, as the story unfolded, I started to become invested in both characters... Myles and Nicole. It was as if I was standing on the sidelines watching the scenes play out, I can envision the picturesque, romantic writing style of Jackson Kane. 

I LOVE THAT IN A BOOK!!

Well written, easy to follow and hard to put down, I still can see the beauty with these likeable, believable, and sexilicious characters. Chock full of twisted turns I didn't see coming, emotions, and steaming Hot sex scenes. As far as I am concerned, this is Mr. Jackson's best book thus far. I want more please? 

I especially enjoyed the way the author wrote the captivating sensuality into the characters. I don't use spoilers in my reviews as it can ruin a book for others. So all I can say is Way to Go, Jackson Kane!!!

How Cool is This?

What a wonderful spin on "see you later alligator."  I Love the colorful illustrations and ease of reading. It covers a variety of bedtime rituals that are sure to delight children and their parents everywhere. My favorite ones are the bears and lambs.

My eight year old granddaughter enjoyed the rhyming and learned some new words while reading. While my twelve year old grandson enjoyed the alligator and crocodile. Ingenious!

Amazeballs!!! Miss Knizley has done it again in this second installment of the The Storm Chronicles, Stormrage, grabbed my attention and kept it there from page one...when I had to put it down... I found it stayed in the forefront of my mind!

Action packed from start to finish, filled with mystery, suspense, twisted turns and snark. Who is really behind all the darkness?

Raven and Rupert have their hands full with battling horrific evil... so vividly picturesque in it's presentation... I felt like I was right there with them... I Love that quality of writing and Miss Knizley does not disappoint.

I recommend this series to the +18 vampire readers out there who LOVE a strong female lead. Raven Storm is KICKASSERY BADNESS for sure!

Holy Smoly!! I Love this series. Raven Storm is one BADA$$ character. 

Raven and Rup sure have their hands full in this third installment. Chock full of action, suspense, mystery, horrific scenes, unexpected twists and OMG moments. I found myself so engrossed... I didn't hear my name being called. LOL 

Miss Knizley has such a wonderful way of wording Raven's snark comments in the inner dialogue as well as the conversations. It left me laughing or giggling most of the time.

This book may not be for everyone... due to its graphic nature. If you enjoy paranormal horror, then check out this Series.

Darkness Lurks (Darkness #1)by J.L. Drake 

Emily McPhee has struggled to overcome her father’s death... 

It’s not easy, but Emily finally has the life she wants. She’s an A student at Orange University and has a comfortable home and a great circle of friends. She’s also in love with handsome Orange PD officer Seth Connors. He doesn’t seem to return her feelings, though, so she tells herself his friendship is enough. 

Jimmy Lasko is a psychopath, and Emily is his greatest obsession… 

Lasko knows what he wants—what he deserves—and has the deadly skills and unending patience to get it. What he wants is Emily, and he is watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. That time is coming soon; he’ll make sure of it. 

A sense of unease settles on Emily, but is the danger real or imagined? 

When Emily begins hearing noises and suspects someone has been in her house, Seth urges her to get a roommate. But after a search, she realizes a certain attractive cop would be the perfect choice, and Seth moves in. 

Seth loves Emily, but fears his feelings might make it difficult to protect her. 

In all areas of his life, Seth sees himself as a protector. He’s determined to keep Emily safe, but he pushes the captivating blonde away in an attempt to stay objective. However, after her stalker makes a failed attempt to capture her, Seth can no longer deny his feelings. 

With help from Seth’s police colleagues, he and Emily set out to identify the person hunting her before it’s too late. But is it worth the risk to bait the trap with what he wants most?

New to me Author 

OMFGosh!! What a spine tingling, sexilicious, and sinister read. I LOVE IT!!

J.L. Drake has a picturesque writing style that will grab you from the start. I am completely invested and LOVE with Emily and Seth... As well as the supporting cop friends.  

The characters are well developed, have a mysterious element to them that kept me flipping pages to see when these elements are revealed. 

Jimmy Lasko is psychopath, who lives in his own fantasy world. Creepy, sinister, and devious and will not stop until he gets what he wants. Makes for an awesome read. He scares the crap outta me.. he is that well depicted.

The world is multilayered and consistent in it's presentation. Dark, deeply mysterious, psychologically thrilling, and HOT!!! Definitely not for the faint of heart. The twists and turns kept me in the edge of my seat. Well played, J.L. Drake.

I high recommend this series to the readers out there, 18+, who Love a Hot and Diabolical thrill ride.

I was gifted an e-copy of this book for review purposes only. No renumeration was involved.

Have you ever been so swept away by a book or character that it/they stick/s with you long after you've finished reading it? I have and this series is one of those . 

Harvest Moon - Moon Series,  #4

RELEASE DAY - Sept. 28, 2015

Some wolves were never meant for a mate...

Dr. Jason Ayers unleashes all of his rage and his frustration through fists and brute force in an underground boxing ring. The werewolf may be the pack's doctor, but he can't even heal his coma-stricken father after the Nero Organization's attack stopped his heart. And as his Pack brothers settle down around him, he still refuses to believe in the fairy tale notion that every wolf has a true mate...

In hiding and on the run, nurse Kilani Akamu is a loose end that Nero is desperate to tie up. She can't afford to be attracted to a doctor-especially one as unexpectedly hot and complex as Jason. Yet the sexual sparks arcing between them are undeniable...and Kilani's precognitive senses warn her that temptation is inevitable.

All it takes is one touch to send Jason's wolf howling. But even if he could protect her from Nero, he can't protect her from himself...

This needs to be a Movie!!

I received an e-copy of The Devil's Gate from Miss Volley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Rue Volley!!

OMG! Miss Volley has created a world like no other. I Love this sensually erotic and sexilicious story of self discovery.
Very well written, fast paced, and hard to put down, with just the right amount of twisted mystery to keep one glued in their seat until the end, unless family obligations tear them away.
I can tell that Miss Volley has invested herself into the character development and Hawt Dayum scenes that will leave you breathless.

I highly recommend this series to those 18+ who like erotic reads. Job Well Done Miss Volley.

Happy Reading
