Summary
Wyatt, is a ghostwalker, he left the swamps as a doctor and came back a changed man with more underneath the surface...a monster. Wyatt has a hard time controlling his new urges and the temper he has always had has increased tenfold. He and his men joined the ghostwalker program as soldiers, so that they could be enhanced and make a difference. But Wyatt and his men never imagined the evils of Dr. Whitney or the lengths he would go to. When Wyatt returns home to his grand mere, he learns that there is a good reason he was summoned home. With his brothers gone, he is the only one that can protect his home and his family. When he learns that there is a new danger, he goes to investigate, and comes back meeting a seductive woman of power and is a ghostwalker herself. A woman that was taken at a young age, experimented upon, and used as a sexual weapon. But he soon learns that there are three young girls in need of his help and love, girls that are toddlers, but could be soldiers and weapons. He joins forces with Pepper, and soon learns that their connection is more than sexual, and that he will keep her forever...
The Hero
Wyatt Fontenot, grew up in the swamps with his grandmother, and three other brothers. Wyatt is a doctor, and sees things in a logical manner. He is a man of science, or he was before he left home. But when he became a soldier, and volunteered to have psychic abilities, he is drawn into a world of deceit and danger he never imagined. A evil that would threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. Wyatt is a man of danger, a brilliant mind, enhanced abilities, reflexes of a cat, and a sexual predator. He is a man of honor and loyalty, to family and his brothers. He will do anything to bring Whitney down. Wyatt was a wonderful hero, and like many in this series, won my heart over. He is sensual and is potent in every aspect.He is a scoundrel and loves to tease. He is also a leader and in command at all times. He loves giving orders, but not receiving them. Pure Alpha Male Specimen we have here.
The Heroine
Le Poivre de Cayenne (Pepper). Pepper was taken from her parents when she was two years old, and was taken by Dr. Whitney, experimented on with viper DNA, and was turned into a sensual weapon. She was made to be a seducer, and then kill with the venom in her teeth. She along with other girls in the facility in France, grew up being tortured and used, and being made into killers. But Pepper has a heart of gold, all she knows is to fight, but there is a instinct in her to protect. When she is brought to the facility in the swamps, she is brought to three infant girls, who also have viper DNA, and can be lethal when they feel threatened. She made a connection to them, and will do everything she can to protect them from harm, no matter the cost. Pepper is one hell of a character. I was completely amazed by her. On the surface she seems tough, gritty and dangerous. But at the core, she is just like any other woman, with dreams, thoughts, and desires. She is maternal toward these three girls, and you see how her character changes and start to embrace who she has become.
Plot and Story Line
Viper Game is a story that is compelling and full of intensity from the first couple chapters. Viper Game had a different tone to it than the other books, but I enjoyed the level of intensity it portrays. Now for those who have read this series, Wyatt is Gator's brother. So we are taken back to the swamps, which is beautifully described and with detail that you almost feel like you are transported to that scene, withe sounds and scents of the animals and plants and the land, and dangers. This story takes in a new level of intensity. We learn of a new facility of girls, but this facility was in France. Girls who have been genetically changed, in ways that are different from the other girls and women we have seen in previous books, with animal DNA. We also see another girl that plays a part in the story, where I hope her story is next...and I think I know who the hero is going to be. But back to Viper Game we see a story where two people were matched a few years previous by Whitney, and we learn that they will join forced not to only rescue the girls, but because of other circumstances. I don't want to reveal what that is....try to leave a bit of mystery so you will go buy it ASAP. :). What I really found stimulating about this story was the sexual tension between Wyatt and Pepper. Wow they could make a nuclear blast happen with all of their chemistry. Wyatt is one sexy beast in bed, and loves controlling the tempo, but at the same time is so careful with Pepper and tender at times, that my heart just want to break. Despite both of their sexual nature, we see a more in depth focus on the emotional tone to their relationship, the building of love and trust. Pepper is in need of love and loyalty, she has never known it. Wyatt grew up in a rowdy but loving home. I love seeing these two collide, and merge their opposite personalities. Even though its not my favorite book of the story, I really had a good time with it, and enjoyed the different setting. I can't get enough of the Ghostwalkers.
Cover
This cover is so gorgeous, and I just love looking at it. It portrays the story so well, and is unique and set apart from any other cover that Feehan has done. I love the way that the heroine is portrayed in the cover. They did good job of matching her to the heroine in the story. I love the green, and the snake wrapping around her. If you look closely you will also see a snake skin a bit on her face. In the background we have a image of a jungle swamp. It adds a level of mystery and danger.
Overall View
Viper Game is a stimulating and sensual romance that will have you curling your toes and make you breathless in anticipation for what is next. A tale of danger, thrilling suspense, and intense desire that will fog up your windows. A story to enjoy, delight and crave.

Summary
Sadie Pemberton, runs the hottest dancing vampire club in New York City. She is all about living a carefree life without responsibility. But then danger comes to her door, with the name of Killian, a danger not to her life, but to her sanity. Killian, is the royal prince of the werewolves. When his older brother was killed, he was forced to take his place as the heir. And he knew that would come with responsibilities, ones that he didn’t want. Where he would have to marry a woman that he could never love. But he keeps a secret to himself, he knows his future mate is out there, and she bears the mark of the moon, which would make her is bloodmate. It is only known to their world as rumor and myth. But Killian believes in it, and when he sees the mark, he must claim her…even if that woman is a vampire. Sadie and Kilian know that they don’t have any future together, but they can’t resist the passion or the connection they feel for each other.
The Hero
Killian Bane, is a werewolf prince. Killian will always do what is expected of him. He adores his parents, and will do anything to keep from disappointing them, but when it comes to his choice of mate, he has to take his own heart into account. Killian is one hell of a hero. This is no beta wolf we have here. He is alpha, not just that he takes command of situations. But that he goes after what he wants and lets nothing stand in his way. Even if that person is his bloodmate. What really drew me to Killian, was how sensual and powerful he is portrayed. There is nothing subtle about his character. I felt instantly drawn to him in such a stimulating way. He is strong and courages, a fighter, but you see how he puts Sadie first in his life. I admired that about him. That he wouldn’t let what his father may think or his people or her people may say, he loves her and will fight with his dying breath for her. That devotion just kept me drawn into this story. Killian is one hero to watch out for or he may bite…
The Heroine
Sadie Pemberton, was turned into a vampire two hundred years previous. Sadie has never had much responsibility, and she likes it that way. But then when she is asked to take over management of the club and now her troubles have become tenfold, because there is a werewolf that she can’t shake off her tail. He is tenacious and most especially when it comes to her. But what Sadie can’t do is admit that that attraction isn’t one sided. Sadie was a hoot. She had backbone, and didn’t just give into a man with good looks and hunky body…although I am not sure if I would have been strong enough. She is determined to stay true to herself and she does get conflicted about certain things. But it added quite a bit of more depth to the story that you don’t fully see coming. Sadie was such a passionate heroine, and she really captivated me. From the first page, you see that she is not your average heroine. She is stubborn and fierce and loves having a party. But she isn’t flighty. I felt like the author did well in writing her character and she seemed to balance out Kilian.
Plot and Story Line
I have read this author before but not in quite some time. I was able to listen to one of her amoveo books, and dang was it so good. So when I was given the opportunity to participate in reading this for the author and publisher, I couldn’t pass it up. Now one thing I wish that I had done, is read the first two books in the series before giving this one a shot. Although I tend to read books out of order, and it’s not too difficult to adjust, I do wish that I had read it in order. I felt like there were certain things I was missing, things that had happened in previous books that set this story up. Now, you can read this alone, but if you have the opportunity read it in order. This story is quite a fun ride. I don’t know how many of you have read this author, but if you haven’t…you are missing out. Seriously, after reading this author, I want to go out and buy her books and read them this weekend. This story is centered on the love connection between Killian and Sadie. They have some obstacles to fight, but it was refreshing how this author turned this story into a focus on the couple. There are other factors in play on this one, but the main focus was seeing them fall in love. What is also another factor was that even though they believe their future is cursed; they still can’t resist each other. I love it when we see a couple plays with fire, and the way it was written you see how powerful that can be. This couple won me over pretty much from the beginning. I mean we have this alpha werewolf prince (drool), and a sexy vampire who loves having a good time….yeah fireworks are going to happen. But they make a good team when danger comes to their doorstep. I don’t want to reveal too much, but the way that these two find their HEA is unique, and not something you would expect seeing happen. So be ready to rock and roll on this story ladies and gents.
Cover
This cover is so sexy and colorful. First…this male model has such a gorgeous body. I mean I just want to kiss and gobble him up all over. But those abs and shoulders…oh yummy. I also like the dots of color with the moon in the background. It gives off a dangerous and mysterious edge.
Overall View
Vampires Never Cry Wolf is a stunning romance, which mixes vampires and werewolves, a story to tantalize and enthrall from beginning to end. Gripping and well written, this author writes a story to captivate. A fast paced page turner. MESMERIZING!

Summary
Natalie Porter, is a college grad student, and she has had to work hard for her schooling, working multiple jobs, making her own way. But even though she was adopted by a loving family, there is still one things that she needs…to find her birth father. After searching and searching, giving up thousands of dollars, to find him, she is at a lost when her investigator stops communication. But she hasn’t given up hope that one day she will find him. At a bar with her best friend, she is dared to flirt and take home a stranger, and have fun and dirty sex with him. The man she picks, is bad boy all the way. Danger seeping out of his pores, tattoos, and a dark brooding stare that she finds compelling. But he warns her off, and she didn’t think that she would ever see or hear from him again. Aleksi, was found on the streets as a teenage boy, starving and doing what he could to survive, and was picked up by the Mafia boss. That mafia boss raised him and taught him everything, and was the father he always wanted. But when he is asked to watched over his daughter, he is more than willing. But the longer he watches her, the harder it is. Then their enemies are after her, and he must protect her and bring her back to her father. He knows that he can’t touch her, but she is temptation itself…and will Aleksi be able to resist her body and her heart?
The Hero
Aleksi, has a past and that past has haunted him. At thirteen he was left on the streets, forced to abandon his brothers, and barely surviving the streets, by learning to fight and defend himself. He is then brought into a Mafiya group, and the head honcho, practically adopts him, and teaches him everything he knows. Aleksi, is a killer, and has had to do things he will always regret, but always to protect himself and those he is loyal to. He has always obeyed every order, without question until he meets the woman to bring him to his knees. Aleksi is one sexy bad ass of a hero. And yes he is a hero. But it took time before I believed that. :) He was quite intense and complicated at times, and you see from the beginning how mysterious he is. He is dangerous but only to his enemies. He does have certain singular tastes, and delights in them. He loves being in command, especially in the bedroom. But as the story progresses you see so much more depth to his character, than that which he portrays. I loved seeing each layer being peeled off and boy did he give me the shivers and tingles–in all the right places.
The Heroine
Natalie is a fun and sassy heroine. Natalie, is one of those heroines that you can’t help but love from the beginning. She is very bold and daring. She has the spirit of a tiger, and wow does she have passion all boiled down inside her. What I really loved about her character was how she gave back just as much as she got. Alekski is pretty intimidating, but she doesn’t let him frighten her. She does have a strong personality that seems to meld with her hero quite well. I felt like she matched him on any playing field, and she seemed to be able to still give off a sweet personality to. She was very likable and so easy to relate with. She is willing to try anything and has a sense of adventure, that I am not sure I would feel if I was her. But she won me over from the first chapter, as I am sure she will with you as well.
Plot and Story Line
The Professional is a story that will sear you completely. This story was super HOT and way hotter than I was expecting. This author has definitely picked up the heat since I first read her. Which was a few years ago when I tried her historical romances and the first of the Immortal series. I knew that this would be more erotic, but wow this blew my mind away. Despite all the heat it had quite a plot to the story. Much more than you would ever think with an erotic romance…but in my mind this story will still be considered a romance novel—just blazing hot. Because there is still so many positive elements that makes it so much more than a simple erotic novel. Now from the very beginning these two have had fireworks, and he kidnaps her and puts her on a plane, but not before one hell of a kiss and some fondling that just had be getting a fever. Whew…first chapter, and it was always HOT…I knew I was in for one hell of a ride. But it doesn’t stop when they arrive at her father’s home and sanctuary, the safest place on the world for her to be…except from Aleksi. Natalie already knows that she could easily fall in love with him, but Aleksi doesn’t believe he can return that, or dishonor her father that way. But soon Natalie will be like a dog with a bone, never giving up. She is tenacious and stubborn, and Aleksi is danger personified but he surely knows how to show a girl a good time. There are BDSM elements. Now those that know me, know that I am picky about this. There are times I like it and times I don’t. But I knew it had some elements so I was prepared. But Kresley Cole did a tremendous job of writing a story that is engaging and erotic, and has plenty of romance for romance lovers. It is way more intense and dramatic, but there are things that occur that totally shock me, and really pick up the pace of the story. There were some aspects that had me reaching for my tissues…but in a way it was a good thing. I felt all over the place with the story, but I found it one hell of a ride. Now I do want to say one thing. I have heard comparisons from this story to Fifty Shades of Grey (there is no comparison. they are totally two different themes and story lines. They may both have BDSM elements of a sort, but they are as alike as fire and ice. I found I loved this story and it had me from the beginning.
Cover
This cover is so yummy. I don’t even know what it is, but the whole man in a suit, and I don’t know what he is holding (maybe vodka or brandy)…but sure is sexy. The model did a great job in portraying a total russian bad ass.

A story that is bound to set you to aflame….a story of passion, unique sexual drama, dramatic characters, and a thrilling plot leaving you breathless for more!!!

There were some aspects that had me reaching for my tissues…but in a way it was a good thing. I felt all over the place with the story, but I found it one hell of a ride. Now I do want to say one thing. I have heard comparisons from this story to Fifty Shades of Grey (there is no comparison. they are totally two different themes and story lines. They may both have BDSM elements of a sort, but they are as alike as fire and ice. I found I loved this story and it had me from the beginning.
Cover
This cover is so yummy. I don’t even know what it is, but the whole man in a suit, and I don’t know what he is holding (maybe vodka or brandy)…but sure is sexy. The model did a great job in portraying a total russian bad ass.

A story that is bound to set you to aflame….a story of passion, unique sexual drama, dramatic characters, and a thrilling plot leaving you breathless for more!!!
Summary
Uilleam MacRieve, is over nine hundred years old, and he still doesn’t have a lifemate. His family suffered a great loss, due to a mistake he made as a teenage boy, and now there is only his twin and Macrieve left. His twin is all he has, but when he is captured, and tortured, his life changes. He doesn’t believe that he is redeemable and that there is no good left in him. But then he feels the call of his mate, and he knows he has to live for her. Chloe Todd, is driven, and is working toward playing in the Olympics. She plays on a professional team, and she has everything going for her. She has dedicated her whole life to soccer. But then her father comes to her, acts strangely, and leaves. She then finds herself kidnapped by witches, who want to auction her off to the highest bidder. She never imagined paranormal creatures existed, but her father is their enemy, and she is the key to destroying them. But then she is rescued by Macrieve, who is gentle and charming and tells her they are mates. She never thought she would be brought into a world of vampires, witches and shifters. But there is a key to her past that Choloe doesn’t know, and when all is revealed it could ruin any future she has with Macrieve.
The Hero
Uilleam MacRieve, once made a dreadful mistake. A mistake that cost him his family. As a teenager, he thought he had found his mate, but it was a succubus, who made him believe in a love that wasn’t there. He was only a boy when she seduced him, and then enthralled him. When his family found out the truth, he loses both parents and an unborn sister. Now all that is left is Monroe and himself. Macrieve blames himself, even hundreds of years later. Macrieve, is the tortured hero you just feel drawn to. He is like a magnet in the story, and from the very beginning, my heart broke for him. He hasn’t had it easy, but neither has his twin. Macrieve was such a good hero, even if he was a pain at times. But he had a certain complexity that was compelling, he isn’t a simple drawn hero. He has many depths, and it was an adventure seeing Macrieve grow into his character (despite how old he is), and boy did I want to share a bed with that man. He can turn on the heat like none other. His strength of will is powerful and after all he has suffered, he can still prove himself on each page.
The Heroine
Chloe Todd, was a truly magnifiscent heroine, but I am not surprised with Kresley Cole writing her character. I don’t think I have read a book of hers, where I didn’t like the heroine. Chloe is driven, passionate, and accepting. She is not one of those that goes into denial about her true identity or her change in circumstances, which sometimes happens in paranormal romances. When Chloe learns about paranormal creatures, she doesn’t put her mind in denial, she accepts things as she views them. She is determined to succeed in her dreams, and that is to play soccer. She has worked her whole life for it. She has a quality to her character that the reader is always cheering for. I loved her wit and playfulness and readiness for anything that came her way.
Plot and Story Line
Macrieve is the 13th installment in the series. I still can’t believe how much this series has grown and developed. I remember when the first books came out, and there was just vampires and such. Now it has expanded to so much more with each book. I do need to catch up on the series, but I felt like reading this, I wasn’t totally lost. Which is good since it is the later half of the series. What was impressive about this story was the emotions it conveys to the reader. I felt like I was all over the place, from laughing my head off, to tingling in certain parts of my body, at the edge of my seat in suspense and totally in tears. It definitely wrenched quite a bit out of me, and even though it’s not my favorite book of the series, I really had a jolly good time with it. I will say that the heroine impressed me way more than the hero. Now the hero has some major unresolved issues that causes a negative….way negative impact on his relationship with Chloe. I felt like he was such a jerk at times, especially when he learns the truth about her, a truth she had no knowledge of. But even though I felt like he could have treated her better, I also felt a mixed array of feeling over his character…because his character is about human nature. What drives us, what causes us pain and suffering and what can give us joy in life. You see the battle in himself and Cole is such a talented author in conveying that war and showing his true self even though there are parts that aren’t pretty. But they are true to who he is. The setting itself is pretty great, I mean we have this whole “in danger” aspect, and everyone is on edge. And you feel that tension in the story. One of the other aspects I loved was how unpredictable this story was. When I thought I had guessed what was going to happen next, I was blown away in the next chapter. This story definitely was full of some thrilling twists and turns that keeps you guessing. As I look at my reading experience of this story, I will say that the ending definitely is superb, as far as how things end for the couple, but it does leave a cliffhanger of sorts…which makes me hungry for more…
Cover
I actually adore this cover. The eyes are at the center and make the cover great. I love the intense stare, and that hair, it gives off the dangerous vibe of the story.

Macrieve a another great thrilling addition to the series, a story of danger, intense romance, dramatic characterizations, stunning detail and a story to tie you up in knots. One HELL of an adventure!!

Summary
Catarina Marin, had everything going for her. Then she married the wrong man, and now instead of the world and opportunity at her feet she is on the run for her life. She is on the move, but there is one thing she is determined to have…her degree. She made a promise to herself, to make sure she got an education, no matter what. But she is in need of funds, so that she can finish up, and since she plans on moving on soon, she reluctantly agrees to be a call girl for one night. But she never thought it would be to a man who would overwhelm her in ways she can’t imagine. Rich Russian politician Maksimillian Sevastyan, knows exactly what he wants. He loves control, and he likes it that way. He prefers his women slim, blond and tall and obedient. A woman who will do what he asks, when he asked with no complain. But while visiting the states, for his brothers wedding, the woman he gets for one night, is the opposite. She disobeys, she is bold and daring, and climbs atop him…he only like taking his women from behind. But she is the first woman that makes him feel. Once he shares a passionate night of sheets and sex, he knows that there is something more to her and decides to keep her. But Cat has a past, and that past could destroy them both…will Maksimillian’s power be enough to protect the woman he loves…
The Hero
Maksim, is quite the hero. After seeing him in the previous book, I was really excited for his story, because frankly he was so tempting. Maksim, is powerful, has more money than any man on earth, and is master of his universe and everyone elses. Maksim, has a past which started out poorly, but he had the love of his brothers. Maksim, is the type of hero that you swoon for. Oh boy…does he create heat…heat…understatement of the century…he is the embodiment of sex and sensual delights. He thinks he knows what is good for everyone, and is arrogant and sure of himself, but he himself has never known a woman’s love. He doesn’t know about true passion until he meets Cat.
The Heroine
Cat, is a woman who even though she is in danger of her life, is still a woman of passions and dreams. She inherited an empire from her parents, but then she thought she fell in love, married, and the man she married, was using her for money, and being a fool in love, she lost everything, except for one thing…her family’s island. The one thing her husband would do anything to get his hands on…and will kill her to get it. She knows that she must stay on the run, and not keep to one place for too long. Cat was a truly great heroine. She is passionate, sweet and caring, but fierce and fiery. She fights back, and is everything you imagine in a match for Maksim. She says how it is, and doesn’t give in to Maksim’s demands. She holds her ground, and what I adored about her character was how much she stands up to him. She tends to be a bit too headstrong and holds onto her secrets for too long, but I think that added mystery to the story. She definitely is a heroine you don’t want to miss out on knowing.
Plot and Story Line
The Master is the second book, and the most latest release by Kresley Cole. It just came out a little over a week ago. When I saw that, I knew I had to grab it up. The Master is quite the story, and has a “Pretty Woman” theme to it, but also has its own variations to the story that makes it an original story. Now this story is erotic, but has other elements that gives off the feeling of “more”. There is quite a bit of sex in here, so warning you all, but at the same time it has a pretty steady plot. The character development is very substantial, and moves steadily with the pace of the story line. The beginning scene is hilarious, and Maksim…big bad dangerous Mafiya boss, gets put in his place. Which its very obvious that it never ever happens. Cat holds her own with him, even when he practically holds her captive in his suite. What really keeps you engaged, is the big secret of her past that she hides from Maksim. As you read, you wonder when it will come out, and did it come out in the worst way possible. But I will tell you that they good their HEA…they just have to work through certain issues first. There are many misunderstandings that happen between Maksim and Cat, but in the end they eventually work out…but what fun it is seeing them try to work it out. They tend to stumble on each other emotionally, and their story isn’t easy or simple. There are many hidden depths to the story, and I loved the way the story developed with each chapter. It does have some BDSM elements, but its lighter than the previous book (at least for me I thought it was), but the sex scenes were scorching and this author knows how to write a winning erotic novel that makes you crave exactly what is in this story. Another aspect was the climax of the story, and the added intrigue and danger elements that really keep you on edge with the characters.
Cover
This cover is similar to the previous book, but is different too. It gives off that Mafiya boss look, with the hint of danger and mystery. But this time, the model is in a full suit (which is so sexy), and we see a cigar in his hand. Which goes with the stereotype of a Master Boss right?
Overall View
The Master is a kick ass romance, that has amped up sex, compelling characters, and a plot that never gives up. If you love Kresley Cole, and some delicious sexy fun…this is a story for you!! Get ready to get burned and then some.

I received an ARC copy in exchange for a honest review. Thanks to Netgalley and Montlake Romance Publishing.
Tycoon Takedown is a wonderful romance that won my heart. I have adored this author since I first discovered her a few years ago. In this latest series, we have a western theme going on. In Tycoon Takedown, we have the hero who is a successful businessman, and considered to be powerful and influential and resides in New York. The heroine wants to make up for a past mistake, so she and Charles start a intimate relationship, and soon we see the start of a relationship that is not going to be easy to keep. Charles is stubborn and has a past that prevents him from being open to a healthy relationship. On the surface he seems to be a cold and unfeeling, but in the center, he is a human being that is hurting. But then when Charles and Melanie get separated, and soon Charles will have to realize what is really important in life. Tycoon Takedown is a emotional driven romance that gets to the heart of what makes us all take. What gives us pain, what offers us joy, and what makes us feel love. This is a love story that is engrossing and deeply moving. CHARMING!
