Brandon is not giving up. He is determined to complete his six months as a submissive to Jonathan. He just has to find his space. He has to not just break, but bend as Jonathans helps free him from himself. But can they take being a public couple as well as a private one? These two books are well written with great descriptions, erotic scenes, and very little repetition. The only bad thing I can say is that the cover still sucks.

Jonathan Watkins is a boy wonder; Young, good looking and incredible rich. He takes his men bent over and welted and right now he wants Brandon McKinney. Brandon is a loner. He spends his time working, reading, and sleeping. Every once in a while he just wants to get laid quickly in a bathroom or an alley. He gets what he wants and a whole lot more when he signs a six month contract to be Jonathan’s submissive. New to the BDSM world, Brandon is unprepared for the memories of his abusive father that can no longer lay buried. A story fascinating and hard as each man comes to learn how to function in a world strange and/or scary to most. (By the way I HATE the cover.)

This new book is a devilish treat from beginning to end. It’s a parody of Madeline that even includes a CaldeNOT Horror label. There is a school of devilish little monsters such as Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, and the Wolfman. One night while they are sleeping Frankenstein’s head goes missing. The doctor runs him to the laboratory where they attach his new head with big bolts at the neck. Now all the little monsters want bolts too! A fun delicious read to share with your own little monster.

Just like the Crypts and the Bloods when a member of the original Krew of Hunters and the Texas Krew has to work a case together, they are bound to but heads. Kat just finished the Unholy case about ancient Egyptian Amun Mopat and has been sent to Chicago because someone has finally found the sunken ship Jerry McGuen where Amun Mopat’s sarcophagus has laid for decades. Will was already in Chicago when people started dying presumably because of a curse on the sarcophagus. But is a curse really to blame, a ghost, or just an ordinary man? The bigger question, can Kat and Will solve the case without killing each other? This is a great companion to the rest of the Texas Krew books.

Right from the dedication of this novel you know you are in for a fun ride. Atticus is a 2100 year old druid who could easily pass for a 21 year old slacker. He is in possession of the magical sword Fragarach which has the power to help the owner rule Tuatha De Danann and other realms of gods. Aenghus Og has been trying to get his hands on the sword for centuries, to no avail. Now the time has come for a true battle. As the saying goes, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

What makes this series stand out is the sass. Atticus has a sassy/fun attitude that is just enjoyable. It doesn’t matter if he is suggesting a rocking motion or talking to his dog Oberon with their mind connection. The other thing that I liked about this first book in the Iron Druid series is that all the religious figures and myths are viable. Christianity is mixed with Buddhism, throw in some vampires and werewolves, and add a dash of Paganism. They all mingle together rather then being reliant on one mythical/religious setting. This is fun for guys and girls alike.

I can not honestly say if I liked this book or not. Its not a typical Fern Michaels read. It’s not quite a love story but it is not a Weekend Warrior either. Kala has been Sophie Lee’s lawyer for ten years. Sophie was tried and convicted for a murder she didn’t commit and now its time to set everything strait again. Everything was great until the last fifty pages or so. The tone of the novel changed from a happy cheerful read to something darker and it never seemed to come out of that funk. The ending was not surprising which was okay, but having just finished the tale I feel bereft. The end was just not enough to make me happy with this title.

Most believe that the city of Atlantis is a myth, but it is very much alive and thriving and located right under our nose. Their master is Poseidon, but her never shows his face. The high prince is Colin but he has been gone for 7 years, kept prisoner of an evil nemesis. Upon returning to Atlantis he goes to the surface he meets Riley, an empathic social work who just needs a break. She gets pulled into the hunt for Poseidon’s trident and an emerging war between vampires, werewolves, and humans. (and she thought being a social worker was hard). This is a nice quick read. Heavy on the romance and sexual tension, and lighter on the vamps and werewolves then other novels which makes it a nice change of pace compared to the usual offerings.
