Something steamy and something with some sass

Well I've read two books that had different story basis, but both were excellent.  Blood Moon a paranormal romance that was steamy and good from front to back. Straight out of the University a romance from up and coming Indie author Rosen Trevithick that was comical, but opens your eyes to people delusional thoughts towards society.



Blood Moon(Moonstruck) by: Sliver James


Army Major Hannah Jackson is on mission with a pack of Alpha males that tend to turn furry at a whelm(no seriously). She has never been so frustrated in her life and so hungry...(I am not talking about food either) Sergeant Major Ian McIntire is very put off by having a officer tailing behind him, but even worst a woman. Every inch of her body sends his wolf into overdrive and the blood moon is creeping upon him and he knows sooner or later his beast will claim the one woman who can tame the savage beast. Being a hard ass is all Hannah knows and the constant pull to the man who seduces her dreams and body will either leave her fulfilled or in a world of mess if not both.

This was an exactly story full of action, laughter, and sexy wolves. A love story of a how one woman can make a man or wolf fall hard. I give this a five star on shadow sexy meter....

Straight out of the University by: Rosen Trevithick

Sophie Sweet is a post graduate psychology major that decided to comes home to Cornwall in hopes to reconnect with old friends (Who most defiantly have changed) After her relationships fell through with her other girlfriends she just needs a break to prepare to get her PhD. Sophie doesn't consider herself a Lesbian, but Bisexual and she doesn't think anyone can put a label on who you fall in love with.(If only the close minded wives of her hometown thought the same they would get along swimmingly...not!)She thinks they are close minded and stepford wives... no seriously(but sometimes you can't judge a book by it's cover). Sophie has many insert foot into mouth moments especially with sexy John who has a laid back view on life. She tries to understand him (Okay she snoops), but his non aggressive do gooder ways wins her over.

This was an hilarious story that was an unexpected delight to read. I laughed so many times I couldn't keep it to myself. This most definitely was an awesome read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Five stars...

Writing trends and Author Spotlight Alan Dale

I've noticed the trend in writing styles mainly in part from book stores and kindle books. There's a lot of writing that revolves around Medieval, Apocalyptic, time travel, and shape shifting. The books of late that I've read have been based on this type of writing. Now don't get me wrong I'm still a fan of paranormal romance, erotica, and sci-fi/fantasy, but that being said there are some up and coming authors who have caught my eye.

Alan Dale is one of those authors with his DNA(Dead Nation Army) trilogy... 

Set in the future and the world is now ruled by the New World Order. The elitist of the government (the most wealthy... you know the saying money is the root of all evil...) now reside in Utopia waiting for the lower classes to die off...(Really... now that hurts...) using a virus that has turned some humans into blood thirsty, hungry, savages and now giving the New World Order the army(Scrats) and the means to get rid of the population they consider a plague on there way of life(Yes eating flesh keeps them happy and without it they die... Can you say damn....) Now the humans struggle to survive and band together to form the DNA(Dead Army Nation) to aid those trapped in Survivor Communities. 

This particular book focuses on two siblings torn apart by the rise of the New World Order and are fighting in this war, but for which side? (That's the question) The Order plans are to kill and destroy anyone outside of there Utopia.

The trilogy starts off with Code Flesh and introduces you to the chaos that now is a way of life. I can say I truly enjoyed reading code flesh as well as Dead Nations Army.... I give it a five star rating on the Shadow Realm meter.

Lords of Bondage series is total Awesomeness...

Author Corinne Balfour has given women the power to have harems, hotties(biggums), and political standing in a society built around them. In her series The Lords of Bondage is a roller coaster of  speed bumps, turns and paranormal. Here is my review for Dark Lord: Part One(Lords of Bondage):

Briella Avenai is half sister to the Countess Nefertiti (Who by the way is a couple screws short of a set...I'm just saying)she is not the average Flourdan woman. (She doesn't look like she dines on steroids for breakfast...geesh)After throwing herself at the mercy of her tyrant sister she meets her sisters newest harem member Lord Devereux Langley. He is of a royal bloodline grandson to the Queen and son to Princess Crimson.

Lord Devereux Langley isn't the Nordic embodiment of a Flourdan male. His dark hair, tanned skin and ever changing eye color makes him stand out.(Not mention his outspoken manner to tell royals not just no, but Hell No!!!)He is a rebel against the society he was breed for and he makes it known on a regular. He is hounded by Nefertiti's advances and is truly disgusted by the lunatic Countess.(Not mention her hard muscles and over powering stench...Ewww!!!)Only one woman has caught his eye and that is the luscious Briella and her soft womanly curves. Devereux has a secret he is hiding and a desire for Briella by the way both could make him lose his manhood...(Especially since this is his last chance... Yes his mother said so) No seriously just check the eunuch army...(That's harsh!!!)

Briella is thrown into a plot that her sister plans in an attempt to gain more power and Briella is trying not to botch it up(or her sister will punish her... so much for sisterly love...) she is captured not once, but twice...(Bad luck o gal...) Her last abductors are different in the sense one has fangs and venom oozing from them. (Great...Really bad luck)... Briella finds herself attracted to the fang wonder and feeling overly hot when she feels the pinch from the fangs of this masked red eye devil on her neck. Briella may just find out that an hybrid is closer than everyone thinks.

On an alternate Earth where women rule with an iron fist(Yup loved that part...) and men are told and placed in the royal houses of society by their mothers or queen. Oh let me not forget the Celtic alien hybrid/Barbarians race who fight amongst themselves and the Romans on the outer borders. I clearly enjoyed this tale and envied the women in the story. What woman wouldn't want a harem of men...(I'm so in line for this...) A very good start and now I begin onto part two. The excitement started at the beginning and left you wanting more. This is a five star hot read.

Check out  Dark Lord: Part Two & Three and Deceptive Lord(Lords of Bondage) on Amazon.

How hot can it get? An inferno I tell ya! Whoa Mama...

Let us chat about Author Delilah Devin... Her words and stories are what paranormal romance thrives on. Sensuality, secrets and the forbidden supernatural. I was thrown into her My Immortal Knight series and haven't stop reading. The first book All Hallows Heartbreaker draw me in hook, line, and sinker.(I'm just saying).... This is a must read(More than likely alone so you can drool or maybe not alone give your significant other a reason to whistle in the morning...wink)... So here is my review for book 1 in the Immortal Knights series.






Emmaline Harris is a woman wanting to break away from the norm(reluctantly). When her best friend convinces her to dress as a sexy vampyre for a Halloween party things seem to go from an bad idea to an even worst idea in a matter of minutes. She is man handled by her friends new beau Nicky. She tells the creep she has an boyfriend and uses her imagination and spins a tale of her dream guy. To her surprise her imagination is real and pulling her from Nicky's clutches. Dylan O'Hara smelled her human scent when she walked through the door of his establishment and knew it could mean a lot of trouble. What he didn't count on was the pull she would have on his blood lust, heart, and groin. Wanting to mark her as his he takes every step possible to have her and keep her safe. Emmaline didn't know sexy vampyres existed, but now she is caught not only by his body, but also his fangs.

I think full figured woman everywhere should be shouting "I am sexy hear me roar...!" and give a big thanks to Mrs. Delilah Devin. She gave the sexy back to us full figured gals. Hey the damsel in distress doesn't have to look like an runway model. The passion in each word makes a gal want to hit all the city vamp clubs and find her own Dylan. This book scores high five on the Sex O Meter. 

Paranormal Romance where art thou?

Lately every mainstream movie lot is filled with next big paranormal movie based on a series from some well known author...(Yup best sellers of course...). What about the unsigned author or the series whom we love to read, but isn't well known unless its on sites like Goodreads or Shelfari(I'm just saying...). The days of Anne Rice, Lora Leigh, and Kate Macallester are what open doors for some of the new authors who stories are just as good and sometimes better in my opinion. 


Where have all the sexy heroes gone?


 I've just read the Tears of Crimson series and I have to say wow!!!! This series gives Charlene Harris (True Blood) a run for its money. Michelle Hughes really put the sexy back in vampires and hot, hot, (did I say hot) sexual domination in every character and scene. From the beginning I was fanning myself and at the end I was drooling...(Hello Gabriel). Then there is Lisa Renee Jones Underground Guardian series which makes Lora Leigh Breeds look like a bunch of domesticated cats(I'm just saying). 


Amazon's freebies(Yes I said freebies) has given the readers, bloggers, reviewers and writers a place to meet and form a new bond.  There are many more of the unsung authors out there and not enough marketing to go around. So instead of all the same ole paranormal endings and romantic undertones try to explore and venture to the darkside... There is a whole new world of paranormal and all you have to do is click, download and enjoy. 

Holy Thor and Medusa snakes...Geesh!

Revision hell.... I'm in a nightmare I tell you and the fact I revised my first book nine times till it was good enough for me just call me a little ocd okay can't help it. Oh Please!!!!  A bad review makes me want to work harder(As if it wouldn't put you on edge) and believe me I will with every book coming out of my series. My goal is to be like Nora Roberts and have books come out back to back to back. My first book may go through revisions(Rolling my eyes...Hell has no fury like an grammatically incorrect book),  but I rather have two mistakes rather than 10,000...(For the love of Hera could it get any worst? Of course it can... Where the hell is my coffeee...) So I hope you all keep up with me and welcome to my journey as a new author...

Tough skin is a must...

Its hard being a writer you have to have some VERY, VERY tough skin. The reviewers can help or hurt your book. I for one feel like constructive criticism is better than saying "It was just horrible"(And trust me it has been said about my writing...eeek). I do believe my first review was horrible flat out horrible, but then my second one was constructive and fair. Hey I write Erotica so there is a lot of hardcore sex in it(And by Goddess there nothing better than some hardcore extreme sex with supernatural beings...) . I just have to work harder on the formatting and proofreading so back to work. I mean 600 copies sold within the first three weeks of its release isn't bad. I know the next book will be better in the series. I'm happy that some people enjoyed Forbidden Fruit and Egyptian Heat and my sarcastic sadistic sense of humor and my sexual by plays. So back to work for me.
