18 & Over Book Blogger Follower #12

18 and Over Blogger Follow Hop is hosted by Crystal from Reading Between the Wines.This hop runs through the weekend. Have a blog that reviews and features mainly 18+ books and want to join? Head over to Reading Between the Wines.

Question of the week: If you could only gift one book to someone which book would it be?

It really was torture trying to think ONE book, but I finally made my decision. I would gift Companions of the Night by Vivian Vande Velde. This is a fun, YA, paranormal roller coaster ride and it was the very first vampire book I ever read (way back in middle school). Without this book, I don't know if I would have ever been drawn into the wonderful world of the paranormal or fallen madly in love (head over silhouettes) with vampires. That would have been down right sad! Not to mention, I may never have begun writing paranormal romance. So, Companions of the Night s my pick! (Got to love the dark, mysterious leading man, Ethan)

Def Leppard & Poison

If you are a Poison and Def Leppard fan and if they are coming to your town on their tour - get tickets! I just saw them and they were great. Def Leppard was AMAZING! One of the best concerts/shows I have ever seen. This was so much fun. There were people who dressed up in 80s garb and I wished I had dressed up ;D

Teaser Tuesday

It is Teaser Tuesday!

For this week, I've decided to post a little blurb from my upcoming released, Caressed by a Crimson Moon (Rulers of Darkness #3). Note: on June 29th, I will be revealing the cover to this new installment in the Rulers of Darkness series.

~ Falcon shook his head. “Eva, it would be for the best if you stayed away from him. My king is…better left alone. Whether you want to believe it or not, he is a real danger.”

Eva nodded. Of that, she had no doubt and in a twisted away, that was part of Hadrian’s appeal: the mysterious, dark, tortured, sinfully sexy, dangerous vampire.

“I know.”

“Please, Eva. Use caution.”

Sexy Snippets

(Sexy Snippets is a weekly feature hosted by Reading Between the Wines for the 18+ crowd.)

Tuesdays just got sexier.

Today's sexy snippet is from my current work-in-progress, Caressed by a Crimson Moon (Rulers of Darkness #3) This is a hot snippet! Release day to be announced. Cover & back cover description will be revealed June 29th!!!

~ “Please what, Eva?”

“I want you, vampire,” she gasped as the tips of his fingers brushed along the seam of her panties.

“Sorry, sweet, can you be specific?”

He flicked her clit with his thumb. Eva’s arms weakened and she slid further along the desk.

“Vampire,” she bit out, “I want you in-inside me.” Still his hand did not move. “H-Hadrian, please, now.”

Review of Vengeful Bounty


Amazon

Vengeful Bounty
by Jillian Kidd
4 of 5 Stars

Description:

In the year 2053, Dallas bounty hunter Mina Maxwell’s goal is to reach Global status, and she is only three catches away from the needed 25. During one of her hunts, she lets criminal Roberto Franco go in order to capture his higher-ranking boss. It is a mistake that will come back to haunt her.
As she continues on toward her goal, she battles with the demons of her past, among them being Damon Wolfe, her Global bounty hunter lover who left her without explanation. Attempting to heal the damage is Mina’s good friend, musician Jackson Kincade, who has been hinting at taking their friendship to the next level if she will let him.
All hope for the future shatters when Roberto returns, hunts her down and kidnaps her. His plan: weaken her body and crush her spirit so he can sell her to the highest bidder.

Review:

Let me start by saying this book was nothing like I expected. Futuristic books really aren't my style, I'm an old fashioned gal who enjoys historical and paranormal/urban fantasy romance. When I was offered this book to review, the cover and description intrigued me and I decided to step out of my comfort zone.
I'm glad I did.

Question of the week: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go for a 'readcation'?

Where would I go for a 'readcation'? Well, I've always wanted to go to Tahiti (hoping that is where my husband and I will go for one of our anniversary) I would love to just lay out on a beach, get my tan on, have a few drinks, and just relax with one good book after another - I might need a little mister to help when the heat of the sun and the heat books meet (wink wink). And, when I take a break from reading, do a little site seeing and spend time with the hubby, of course (smiles). So, where would you like to go for a 'readcation'?

Review of More Than Tolerable

Amazon

More Than Tolerable
by C.J. Ellisson
4.5 stars of 5

Description:

Candy thinks ordering her lovers to do what she wants will keep her heart safe and leave her in charge of her own destiny. Not surprisingly, her sexual experiences fall flat and she continues to search for more.
Tommy, one of her co-workers, has been hot for the sexy blond for months. He’s bound and determined to convince her he’s the one she’s been searching for – even if she believes a fellow accountant would make a boring bedmate.
Can the two come together to unlock Candy’s sexual awareness or will her own fears push Tom away?

Review:

Hot. There really isn't another word describe this book. The characters are wonderful and work extremely well together. Candy is a woman who knows what she wants...or at least she thinks she does. However, she keeps winding up in bed with the wrong men, extremely frustrating for any woman. She is also a bit of a control freak and swears up and down that she could never be/want to be with an accountant, least of all her co-worker Tommy.

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H. P. Mallory

Life isn’t bad for psychic Jolie Wilkins. True, she doesn’t have a love life to speak of, but she has a cute house in the suburbs of Los Angeles, a cat and a quirky best friend.

Enter Rand Balfour, a sinfully attractive warlock who insists she’s a witch and who just might turn her life upside down. Rand hires her to help him solve a mystery regarding the death of his client who also happens to be a ghost. Jolie not only uncovers the cause of the ghost’s demise but, in the process, she brings him back to life!

Word of Jolie’s incredible ability to bring back the dead spreads like wildfire, putting her at the top of the Underworld’s most wanted list. Consequently, she finds herself at the center of a custody battle between a villainous witch, a dangerous but oh-so-sexy vampire, and her warlock boss, Rand.

Question of the week: Do you feel the need to write a review for your personal reads, as oppose to requested reviews, or are there some books you read just for the joy of reading?

I fell in love with reading WAY before I began writing reviews. There are a few authors that I just love and will read no matter what. I do like to share my thoughts and discuss the books I really enjoy. If I don't write a review, I will rate the books I read. There are also books I read over and over - favorites!
