<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">James and Olivia Forster have been happily married for many years. Their grown-up daughter is thriving, as is their successful family-owned business. A harmless kink here or there spices up their love life, but never in a million years do they imagine the kinks they’ll encounter while sneaking off to their beach house for a long hot weekend. Certainly, they don’t expect their understanding of the world they live in to be turned upside down. Anso Vitul has ruled the wereseals for one short month. He hardly needs his authority questioned because he’s going crazy from mating heat, a condition made more tormenting by having been forbidden to have sex with a female. Anso’s best friend and male lover Ty volunteers to help him find the human mate his royal genes are driving him to seek. To Ty’s amazement, Anso’s quest leads him claim not one partner but a pair. Ty would object, except he too finds the Forsters hopelessly attractive. When this hot-blooded foursome embark on their erotic voyage, more than the ocean is going to make waves.</span><br />

Just leave a comment with your thoughts on history mixing in with fiction. I am a huge fan of these sorts of books because I think its an interesting way to learn while having fun, and in this case, not many books on Native Americans have been done. These aren't paranormal or anything, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share. Definitely check out their <a href="http://www.gear-gear.com/index.shtml">website</a> for more information.

The fires of Mabila have destroyed most of de Soto’s supplies, and cost him dearly in horses and irreplaceable men. But just ahead lie the greatest warriors in Black Shell’s world, and the people who exiled him in disgrace—the Chicaza. Desperate to earn redemption, Black Shell is thrust face-to-face with the cunning de Soto and locked in a deadly game of wits that will determine the fate of their world. But who’s the bigger threat—de Soto or Black Shell’s poisonous and unforgiving kin? If Black Shell, Pearl Hand, and their loyal dogs can win the battle of Chicaza, the Spanish invader will be broken forever. As Horned Serpent and the terrible Piasa gambled so long ago, in the end, everything hinges on Black Shell—but at what staggering cost?</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><br />

Killer. Monster.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The words echo in Sunny Martin’s head each time she looks in the mirror. Since the night she was torn from her car and drained of her blood, Sunny’s fear of the hungry beast within her is rivaled only by the fear of exposure.<br />
<br />
Her lonely struggle to survive on the edge of the human world leads Sunny to the mountain peaks of Colorado where she meets Nicolas, the enigmatic leader of a hidden society.<br />
<br />
Their passion, tainted by betrayal, violence, and murder, reveals a shocking truth behind Sunny's savage nature and drives her toward an agonizing Choice between her heart and the last remnant of her human soul.</span></span></span></b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></b></span></div>Jenny's Review:</div><div></div><div>Sunny hates the monster she has become. She wishes she could go back to her old life, and still watches her daughter from a distance. She is sad to see her daughter mature without her and also to see that she now has a grandchild that she will never know. After yet another incident where the beast escapes her Sunny finds herself on the move again. She is determined this time to keep as far away from people as possible, and be close to the forest to let her inner beast get its fill. Sunny is not prepared to meet Nicolas, to whom she feels an immediate pull toward. Nicolas is a very old vampire who is interested to learn about this new Chosen one, who is different than any Chosen he has met before. But as Nicolas tries to draw Sunny into the Game that the Chosen ones play, she is resistant and doesn’t understand what is happening. When she feels the stress of all the new rules and the over controlling from Nicolas she tries to run back, to be more like herself, and is attacked. When she comes to, she realizes that she is no longer in control, and finds herself being taken further away from who she was and wants to be. Can she fight to stay with Nicolas and love him like he loves her, or will the fact that he is trying to change her prove to much for her and push her away?</div><div></div><div>This was an interesting book. It was full of confusion for the main character who is lost in this new world of the Chosen’s hierarchy and way of life. It shows that even when you stray very far from yourself, it is hard to make changes and the moral compass that you find yourself battling with will never go away fully. Told from the main character, Sunny's, point of view you really get to know her as a character and feel the pain she is undertaking with her struggle to find peace with what she is becoming. But I felt that the character of Nicolas was just strange, and the book never lets on to anything with him, except for little inserts here and there about what he is thinking. It is obvious that he is trying to control and change her, and I think that I was frustrated by this. All in all, it was a good read and the writing style was easy to read and drew me in. </div><div></div><div><b>Author website: </b></div><div>*Just a warning for those opening links at work or something: the site has music playing in the background. </div><div><a href="http://www.rohmorgon.com/">http://www.rohmorgon.com/ </a></div><div></div><div>*Reviewed by Jenny</div><div>*This book was sent for review by the author. </div><br />

I don't often get the chance to buy books these days, but when I saw this book at Target I simply had to buy it. No other cover looked quite the same sitting n the shelf, and I adore the delicate beauty and color scheme. The other books in the series all have the same style of cover and I find them equally as beautiful. I'm really looking forward to reading this series, and only passed this along to Jenny so that it could be reviewed faster. I'd love to hear what you think, of both the book and the cover. Cheers!</i><br />

</b>Gothic Urban Fantasy<br />
<br />
October 2011 <i>Rebellion has a price…<br />
</i><br />
Born into a life of secrets and service, Chrysabelle’s body bears the telltale marks of a comarré — a special race of humans bred to feed vampire nobility. When her patron is murdered, she becomes the prime suspect, which sends her running into the mortal world…and into the arms of Malkolm, an outcast vampire cursed to kill every being from whom he drinks.<br />
<br />
Now, Chrysabelle and Malkolm must work together to stop a plot to merge the mortal and supernatural worlds. If they fail, a chaos unlike anything anyone has ever seen will threaten to reign.<br />
<br />
<b>Jenny's Review:</b></div><div></div><div>Chrysabelle is a comarre, meaning she is a human bred to feed the noble of the vampire community. All is going according to plan until the vampire patron ends up dead and she runs away. Chrysabelle is just seeking a place to be safe when she travels to her aunt Maris’s house, but knowing who is after her means she knows she needs to hide better than that. Seeking a safe place in the mortal world is quite difficult and Chrysabelle finds herself with Malkolm. Malkolm is a vampire who has been branded an outcast, because he kills everything he feeds from. He is a cursed vampire who cannot control the beast within him. He lives with Doc, who is only able to turn into a house cat, and Fi, who Malkolm killed and who is stuck with him as a ghost. In trying to help Chrysabelle Malkolm accidentally becomes her new patron so when her aunt Maris disappears they must work together to find her and fight some of the most horrific vampire villains. Villains who will stop at nothing to get what they want and hurt the human world forever. The only problem is that the beast within Malkolm truly wants to get out and drain Chrysabelle of the sweet smelling blood she holds inside her. </div><div></div><div>This was a thrilling book! It keep me reading and reading. At first I was sort of lost in the language and the story line, but after a couple chapters I did not want to put it down. The way the characters are all intertwined together and act around each other works very well. Chrysabelle’s job as a human bred for vampire feeding was quite interesting as she had many talents that surprised even the vampires. The way the two main characters act around each other create the perfect tension in the book. The mystery and action were perfectly planned in this book making you crave more. The ending of course leaves you hanging for the next book in the series, which I need to go out and find so that I can finish the story of Chrysabelle and Malkolm. </div><div></div><div><b>The next books in the series:</b></div><div></div><div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Flesh-Blood-Comarr%C3%A9-Kristen-Painter/dp/031608476X">Flesh and Blood</a> </div><div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Blood-House-Comarr%C3%A9-Kristen-Painter/dp/0316084751/ref=pd_sim_b_2">Bad Blood </a></div><div></div><div><b>Upcoming Releases:</b><br />

To find out that he doesn't have any powers, much less "evil" powers was a huge let down. The whole season was talking about her father and he was evil incarnate... and.... NOTHING. I can only hope that he's lying and hiding his power.<br /><br />What did you guys think about John Blackwell. Do you think he has hidden intentions and is hiding his power?<br /> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p>Betty

Caleb Leigh has spent the past year in hiding, unable to escape his demons. When Juliet finds him again, her need for vengeance clashes with the hunger still burning between them.<br />
<br />
It’s a fight born from the embers of a half-forgotten attraction and the wounds of a past too raw to ignore. With enemies circling and secrets threatening to consume them, Caleb has no choice but to fulfill a promise made long ago—protect her, save her. Even if it costs him his blood, his body … and what’s left of his mind.<br />
<br />
<b>Review:</b><br />
<br />
I'd like to start of by saying that I read this book in one afternoon, cramming in reading time between housework and kid events, which is saying something because lately I can barely find time to breathe, let alone read. I had the chance to read <i>Lure of the Wicked</i> a number of months ago, still need to review it even, really enjoyed the combination of action and romance, so I was looking forward to seeing how things played out in this one. Although I like <i>Lure of the Wicked</i> better, I wasn't disappointed by this installment at all.<br />
<br />
<i>All Things Wicked</i> brings Juliet and Caleb front and center, and despite how they first meet, again, things get hot real fast. They have a past, a sordid connection that makes their lust even more complicated, as if being hunted by the bad guys wasn't enough. Juliet believes that Caleb has betrayed her, I won't say why, and Caleb is keeping a very difficult secret, and I won't share that either. I enjoyed the exchanges between them, even the ones that didn't involve kissing and touching, and found that they complimented each other quite nicely.<br />
<br />
Caleb is a protective type guy that isn't afraid to kick ass, even when that means he must make the hard choices. Whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves, that's fine by him. Juliet is more delicate than that but not in a wimpy way, although it took me awhile to get that about her. At first, she seemed easily manipulated, almost like she just accepted that her role wasn't to be a warrior chick or anything, but she eventually learns that witch powers do not a woman make. She still wears her emotions more obviously than others, just not in a weak way, and she is forced to deal with some real doozies. These nuances of her character made her more real, and I was able to see why Caleb wanted to protect her. The romance isn't easy by any standards, something that adds to the action packed storyline.<br />
<br />
My only complaint would be that at times I wanted the action to move along and let me get to the secondary plot, or secondary characters. Mission Director Parker Adams and the uber mysterious Simon Wells, for example. I wanted more of that political secret spy element, because quite honestly, I can't figure out who is betraying who, and why. The Holy Order is supposed to be the bad guys, but they have more leaks than that wiki site, and I suspect more will be revealed in that area. <i>All Things Wicked</i> has something for everyone, part thriller, part action, all romance.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't call this a standalone title simply because you get a lot of information thrown at you concerning previous characters and storylines, something I enjoy in such a complex world, but that might make new readers confused. So do yourself a favor and start at the beginning. <br />

Andrews classic, Flowers in the Attic, that horrific tale of small children locked in a room by their own mother, and what strikes me even now is the stark, raw emotions conveyed on each page. I cried for these characters, and I loved with them too. My mother bought me a complete set and I devoured them all, loving each one more then the last. Then I moved on to the Casteel series, and My Sweet Audrina. You could almost say that I grew up with these books. Admittedly, I didn't keep up with all the titles released, and I think my next big book crushes came with Kathleen Woodwiss and Lavyrle Spencer, deeper romances that were more complex, and adult. Then of course, my beloved, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and the sweeping adventures of Saint-Germain, which remains my favorite vampire romance of all time. </span></div><div style="color: #660000;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;">But, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for V.C. Andrews and I'm thrilled to offer my blogging friends a chance to read </span><i style="color: #660000;">Into the Darkness</i><span style="color: #660000;">.</span></span> <span style="color: #660000;">Just leave a comment with your first romance title, your favorite V.C. Andrews book, or you could even let me know what you think of posthumously published books.</span><br />

Facing a long, lonely summer working at the family shop, Amber’s world lights up when the Matthews family suddenly moves into the house next door, a property that has stood neglected for the longest time. And when she meets Brayden Matthews, an only child just like her, Amber soon becomes infatuated with this handsome, quirky young man who seems to know her innermost feelings almost before she does, who takes her places she never knew existed in her small town. Their connection is electrifying, unlike anything Amber’s felt before. But as quickly as he appears, Brayden vanishes into the darkness. And finding out the truth about him will push Amber Taylor to the edge of madness….</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">An atmospheric journey of passion and suspense that builds to a jolting, unforgettable finale,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Into the Darkness</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>showcases V.C.

Is it even possible? And some contest news!I'm trying to make some serious lifestyle changes, primarily giving up refined sugar and switching to a diet that focuses on natural, whole foods. The difficulty on this is fairly high because you all know that I am hopelessly addicted to Pepsi, mainly fountain Pepsi. So I have given up on my beloved fountain drinks and have been successful for about 3 weeks now, but it's a struggle every time I am out and about, because I want to swing in to my favorite QT and grab a cold drink. I literally have to talk myself down each and every time, but it is getting easier. At home, I just try to stick with my unsweetened iced tea (the only right way to drink it, despite what you crazy southerners might think) and lots of boring water.<br />
<br />
<br />
The next phase means that I need to eliminate refined sugar in the food I eat, and at the moment I am confounded by veggies. I love to snack on raw veggies but I certainly can't serve my kids like that all the time. I'd be facing full scale rebellion! My monsters aren't picky eaters by any stretch, but we are all getting bored with steamed vegetables. Any ideas? Know of any good cookbooks that focus on healthy and tasty cooking? Hook me up!<br />
<br />
How is this paranormal, you ask? Remember Bunnicula? The cute little rabbit that sucked her veggies dry? Not good enough for you? How about I sweeten the pot with a couple of books to giveaway?<br />
<br />
Leave me a comment giving me a recipe idea or tell me about a cookbook you love, and I will pick one lucky reader to get a grab bag of books, including but not necessarily limited to, <a href="http://www.cynthiaeden.com/books/angel-of-darkness/">Angel of Darkness</a> by Cynthia Eden, and <a href="http://www.theresameyers.com/books.php">The Hunter</a> by Theresa Meyers. Due to postage concerns this has to be limited to my U.S. readers only.<br />
<br />
You can also post recipe ideas on the FB wall...I've been trying to check at least once a week:)<br />

<br />
Hailey Tarbell lives with her grandmother in Gypsum, Missouri and really does not have a lot going for her. Her grandmother is not the ideal parent (she deals drugs and allows men to come to the house to smoke and get drunk) and Hailey ends up having to take care of her foster brother, Chub, who has something wrong with him. Her school is hard because she is an outcast who everyone stays away from and she does not understand why. One day a student hits her head in gym and Hailey is drawn to touch her, when she does she starts whispering words and then the girl wakes up. This experience scares Hailey who does not understand that she is a healer, with the powers to heal others. When some strange men show up in her town and she finds some things hidden in her closet she starts to worry. Then her aunt Prairie shows up and tells her that they need to escape Hailey does not know what to believe. She didn’t even know she had an aunt. But when the strange men storm her house and her grandmother is killed Hailey runs with Prairie. On this journey she finds out about her mothers past, who her father is, and much more about her gift. But will it be enough for her and Prairie to stay safe and to keep Chub safe with her?<br />
<div> </div><div>This was a great book. I did not want to put it down! I felt for the character Hailey as she struggled to find her place in the world. And felt sorrow for her that her life with her grandmother was not better for her. I love how the characters emotions were portrayed because you felt like you knew her. I thought the story line was good because you really couldn’t stop reading when the action was going on because you wanted to see how it was going to play out. I thought the twists at the end were definitely unexpected, and the book totally leaves you hanging. That was the only frustrating part, I want to know what happens. I turned past the last chapter and thought "Wait a minute that cant be the end!!". Thank goodness this is the first in the series because I can’t wait to read what happens next!! Great high school or older read, the fact that the grandma deals drugs out of the house makes it a little difficult life situation for younger readers.</div><div> </div><div>Other books in the series:</div><div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Unforsaken-Sophie-Littlefield/dp/0385738544/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1305564570&sr=1-1">Unforsaken</a> (available now)</div><div><br />

<br />
<div class="productDescriptionWrapper">He lives to kill monsters. He keeps his city safe. And his silver hollow-points and back-from-the-dead abilities help him take out any kind of supernatural threat. But now an immortal evil has this bad-ass bounty hunter dead in its sights. . .</div><div class="productDescriptionWrapper"></div><div class="productDescriptionWrapper">Ever since a monster murdered his family, Deacon Chalk hunts any creature that preys on the innocent. So when a pretty vampire girl "hires" him to eliminate a fellow slayer, Deacon goes to warn him--and barely escapes a vampire ambush. Now he's got a way-inexperienced newbie hunter to protect and everything from bloodsuckers to cursed immortals on his trail. There's also a malevolent force controlling the living and the undead, hellbent on turning Deacon's greatest loss into the one weapon that could destroy him. . .<br />
<br />
<b>Review:</b><br />
<br />
If a vampire infestation ever becomes a real concern, hey, it could happen, I'd want Deacon Chalk in my corner. 100%. No questions asked. This southern badass has an arsenal of tricks up his sleeves, all delivered with vicious precision. Who knew a toothpick could be so deadly? And he has wicked knowledge of all the best guns, ammo, and he definitely knows just where to shoot.<br />
<br />
The writing style of James R. Tuck brings another unique male voice to the urban fantasy/vampire scene, by combining exceptional detail with complex, yet relatable characters. Chalk had his world turned upside down when his family was slaughtered by vampires, yet instead of playing victim, he chose to do something about it. Even the secondary characters, like Father Mulcahy, Larson, Charlotte, Kat and Tiff, bring something valuable to the story, bringing humanity of all types to the story. More importantly, this cast of characters are what keep Chalk slugging along in a world full of ruthless vampires. He isn't afraid to die, but he doesn't necessarily want his friend to meet that same fate, so they stand together. In an odd sort of way the employees at Polecats are Deacon Chalk's new family, and they all understand the dangers that hunt in the night.<br />
<br />
A little bit Blade and a little bit Laurell K. Hamilton...even some of the word choices, like "flavor of power" reminded me of my favorite vampire executioner, only with decidedly less sex. Actually, I think we get a whopping one kiss, maybe two, so if your looking for a sexy romp then this might not be for you BUT...if you want a bloody, action-packed thrill ride full of evil vampires and one ass-kicking bounty hunter, well, Blood and Bullets is exactly what you need. <br />
