I Smell Sheep Reviews Caressed by Night

I Smell Sheep has given Caressed by Night (Rulers of Darkness, #2) 
5 Guilt Ridden Beastly Sheep. 

"This is the second book in the series, as with the first I loved this one just the same. Greene really knows how to deliver a great story. It was gripping, romantic and heartfelt. You felt the instant love between Dimitri and Kerstyn and lastly your heart goes out to the vampires and what they endured in their pasts. The guilt of their actions and worse, their emotional turmoil of who they really were, they thought of themselves as beasts. But were they really? Or just a product of the situations they were put in.
I highly recommend this series, and I am hoping to see a third installment.

Join e every Saturday for a book blurb and a new, tasty drink recipe - coffee or cocktail...?
Take up a book, mix a drink, and kick back.

Drink of Me
by Jacquelyn Frank

In a world where emotion can be a deadly weapon, one slight, battered runaway holds the key to a dark and twisted enigma..."Drink Of Me", she whispers, her silver eyes trusting, pleading. What female dares speak such words to one of the Sange? His people are scorned by every race for their fierce sensuality, their fearful rituals. And as Prime, Reule is the most telepathically gifted of them all. But nothing has prepared him for the intensity of emotion radiating from the outlander rescued by his Pack. Terrified, tormented, but beautiful beyond measure, Mystique shatters his legendary control. As she reaches for him in the steamy heat of the healing baths, he knows this blind need can have but one end...

P.S. I LOVED this book!

Review of The Present

Amazon         Barnes & Noble
The Present 
by Johanna Lindsey (A Malory Novel)
3.5 of 5 Stars

Description:

As the entire Malory family gathers at Haverston to celebrate the season, a mysterious present arrives anonymously. The gift is an old journal -- a tender and tempestuous account of the love affair between the second Marquis, Christopher Malory, and a dark gypsy beauty named Anastasia, who seeks a love match with a non-gypsy in order to save herself from a prearranged marriage to a brute. Though the dashing English lord Anastasia sets her sight upon burns for the exquisite, exotic miss, Christopher could never consent to wed such a lowborn lady. But miracles have been known to happen in this season of peace and giving and love, as two extraordinary people separated by circumstance of birth begin a passionate dance of will and wiles. And in the miraculous blossoming of a glorious romance at a long ago Christmastime, there are wise and well-learned lessons that will enrich the hearts of the Malory descendants -- and, indeed, of everyone who has ever dreamed.

Review:
I must tell you all that if you are not familiar with the Malory family, you may be a little lost since some parts of plot tie into previous books. That being said, The Present is a warm holiday read and I highly recommend the Malory books to anyone who love historical settings, dashing lords, feisty ladies, and wonderful romance.

Review of My Soul to Keep

My Soul to Keep (Moon Chasers, #4)
Amazon                   B&N
My Soul to Keep (Moon Chasers, #4)
by Sharie Kohler
 3.5 Stars of 5

Description:


Sharie Kohler dazzles with the dark, sensual world of the Moon Chasers, where two half-breed lycans are locked in deadly combat over the fate of the world—and their own hearts.
Sorcha is no longer the pitiful teenage orphan who roamed the streets of Paris after her pack was destroyed, but despite all she now has—wealth, beauty, strength—she is still haunted by memories of Jonah, her fellow half-breed who broke her innocent young heart years before, and who now believes her dead. Determined to drive Jonah from her dreams forever, Sorcha vows to kill the witch whose curse first condemned the lycans to soulless immortality . . . doomed to be ruled by their dark passions, yet never truly able to love or be loved.
Still devastated over the girl he failed, Jonah has found purpose as a demon slayer. When a stranger starts stalking the world’s most powerful demon witch, he is assigned to kill the huntress before her meddling releases an evil that threatens all mankind.
Face-to-face again at last, can Sorcha and Jonah put their anger and hurt behind them to defeat the darkness . . . and dare they hope to find a love neither dreamed possible?

(From Goodreads)

Review:

This is fun werewolf/shifter series! My Soul to Keep is the fourth installment within the Moon Chasers series.

As a child, Sorcha was terrorized by her family. Her father was a strong, slightly crazy, alpha who seemed bent of conquering the werewolf world. Her family viewed her as weak, but Jonah, her father’s right hand man, protected her. Growing up, Sorcha had a crush on Jonah, but he didn’t return her feelings – he always viewed her as a child.

Year later, Sorcha and Jonah meet again. Both had believed the other was dead, but their reunion is anything but happy and peaceful. Sorcha is on a mission to kill a demon possessed witch and Jonah (who is a demon hunter) has been charged with keeping the possessed witch alive. If the sorceress dies, her demon will be released and hell will literally break loose.

The overall storyline of the book was fantastic. The relationship and sexual tension between the main characters was well written. The draw backs: Sorcha was a bit too headstrong and she became very irritating at times. The book, though short, seemed to drag in some areas. Jonah saved the story. He was a wonderful hero.

This series is a fresh take on shifters/werewolves. The paranormal and fantasy elements blend very well. If you are a fan on the shifters, werewolves and witches you must check out the Moon Chasers series.

Review of The Darkest Night

The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld, #1)
by Gena Showalter
476543
Amazon              B&N
4.5 of 5 Stars

Description:
His powers - Inhuman...

His passion - Beyond immortal...


All her life, Ashlyn Darrow has been tormented by voices from the past. To end the nightmare, she has come to Budapest seeking help from men rumored to have supernatural abilities, not knowing she'll be swept into the arms of Maddox, their most dangerous member -- a man trapped in a hell of his own.

Neither can resist the instant hunger than calms their torments... and ignites an irresistible passion. But every heated touch and burning kiss will edge them closer to destruction -- and a soul-shattering test of love...
Though they carry an eternal curse, the Lords of the Underworld are irresistibly seductive -- and unimaginably powerful...

(From Goodreads)
 
Review:


Amazing!
 This series is a refreshing take on paranormal romance - so much more than the traditional vampires and werewolves. Now, don't get me wrong, I adore vampires and werewolves, but these demon possessed warriors are delicious!
The Darkest Night is the first installment with in the Lords of the Underworld series. 
Ashlyn has heard a rumor of men with supernatural powers who may be able to help her either understand or cure her of her own. She is wondering the forest and mountains searching for their home when she is attached by a man with hell in his eyes.
Maddox was once a guardian of the Gods (Greek pantheon) who has been cursed to harbor a demon from Pandora's box within himself. When he discovers a lone woman wandering around outside his castle, he is certain she is "bait", meant to lure him out so that the hunters can capture and or kill him. She is successful with luring him from his home, but she is the one who is captured.
While Ashlyn and Maddox work through their misunderstanding, there attraction grows and becomes undeniable - leading to a steamy romance. The main characters were a great match.  Maddox was the right amount of tormented hero and Ashlyn was both sweet and sassy.
The side characters were awesome! Everyone one of them is different and they make you want to read more - drawing you further into the Lords of the Underworld's realm. 
If you are passionate about paranormal romance, this is a MUST read series.
