To Tame a Highland Warrior: Review

To Tame a Highalnd Warrior

( 2nd in the series)

by Karen Marie Moning

A Woman’s Tender Touch

He was born to a clan of warriors of supernatural strength, but Gavrael McIllioch abandoned his name and his Highland castle, determined to escape the dark fate of his ancestors. Hiding his identity from the relentless rival clan that hunted him, he called himself Grimm to protect the people he cared for, vowing never to acknowledge his love for ravishing Jillian St. Clair. Yet even from afar he watched over her, and when her father sent an urgent summons, "Come for Jillian," he raced to her side - into a competition to win her hand in marriage.

A Warrior’s Steely Heart

Why had he run from her so many years before? And why return now to see her offered as a prize in her father's manipulative game? Furious, Jillian vowed never to wed. But Grimm was the man she loved, the one who urged her to marry another. He tried to pretend indifference as she tempted him, but he could not deny the fierce desires that compelled him to abduct her from the altar. She was the only woman who could tame the beast that raged within him - even as deadly enemies plotted to destroy them both....

My favorite line from the book: " Deo non fortuna" was chiseled in flowing script above the arch- " By God, not by Chance".

Amen!! Truer words have never been spoken!

To Tame a Highland Warrior Grimm returns. Grimm played a role in the first book in the series, Beyond the Highland Mist. Grimm has a tortued soul, and he believes he will carry his past with him forever, but can he learn to accept the past in order to embrace the furture??

This story is funny,touching and very sensual. The love scenes are hot.

To Tame a Highland Warrior is getting 4 stars from me!

Beyond the Highland Mist: Review

Beyond the Highland Mist

by Karen Marie Moning

He would sell his warrior soul to possess her. . . . An alluring laird...

He was known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his heart--until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the sixteenth-century rogue. Coerced into a marriage with Hawk, Adrienne vowed to keep him at arm's length--but his sweet seduction played havoc with her resolve.

A prisoner in time...

She had a perfect "no" on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the promptings of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's determination to keep her by his side. . . .

If you love romance books... get this book! If you love books about hot highlanders... get this book! If you love paranormal romances... get this book! my point is get this book. Buy it, check it out from the library, borrow it from a friend, just get it.

Adrienne de Simone has sass, but you also feel for her and what she has gone through in her life. "Hawk" makes you long to take the pain from him. Together, well.... HOTT!

I am giving Beyond the Highland Mist 5 stars!!!

I think I am on a romance kick... bare with me friends!

HA HA HA

The Accidental Demon Slayer: Review

The Accidental Demon Slayer

by Angie Fox

Prim and proper preschool teacher Lizzie Brown is on the verge of her thirtieth birthday when her hitherto unknown grandmother shows up, quickly followed by a demon erupting out of her toilet who Lizzie surprisingly manages to blast into “a million flecks of light.” Raised by distant adoptive parents, Lizzie had no idea that she was born to be a demon slayer. Her granny, a biker who communes with spirits in a metal lawn shed, then takes her to join her coven of senior biker witches who will help her defeat the demons who want to kill Lizzie before she can go after them. Along the way, Lizzie meets sexy shape-shifter Dimitri Kallinkikos, a sometime griffin who claims to be her protector but may have a hidden agenda that will take her straight to hell.

I dare you not to laugh out loud when reading this book. Wity and fun! With each passing page you can meet a new and awesome character. I thought this book was an easy read and have I told you all that in my mind all characters named Dimitri are hott... with two t's? I am not sure what my deal is when it comes to this name, but hott sums in up nicely!

Sea Change: Review

Sea Change

by Aimee Friedman

16-year-old Miranda Merchant is great at science...and not so great with boys. After major drama with her boyfriend and (now ex) best friend, she's happy to spend the summer on small, mysterious Selkie Island, helping her mother sort out her late grandmother's estate.

There, Miranda finds new friends and an island with a mysterious, mystical history, presenting her with facts her logical, scientific mind can't make sense of. She also meets Leo, who challenges everything she thought she knew about boys, friendship...and reality.

Is Leo hiding something? Or is he something that she never could have imagined?

My favorite line out of this book is... " Maybe people didn't just inherit looks and talents and the propensity for illness, but they also inherited desires".

I thought Sea Change was a sweet and endearing tale of first love that stays with you till the end. The way Aimee Friedman wrote this book it makes me wonder if we will be seeing Miranda and Leo again in another novel?!?!

Transformation: Review

Transformation

(Water #3)

by Kara Dalkey

Water is a fantasy trilogy that combines the legends of the Knights of the Round Table and the lost city of Atlantis. Transformation is Book Three of Three. Transformation, Book Three description: The sea is the birthplace of legends. Nia and Corwin have each fought their own battles.

At first I thought I was just going to read this series because I needed books with mermaids to finish a challenge, but I found myself enjoying the books. Transformation was not as good as the first two but it still was a nice addition to the series. Predictable in some area's, but reminded myself that the author's target audience was not my age brackett to begin with... ha ha ha!

Fish Out of Water: Review

Fish Out of Water
by Mary Janice Davidson

Fred the Mermaid has taken the bait and chosen to date Artur, Prince of the Black Sea, over human marine biologist Thomas. And just in time. The existence of the Undersea Folk is no longer a secret, and someone needs to keep them from floundering in the media spotlight. Fred has all the right skills for that job, but has a hard time when her real father surfaces and tries to overthrow Artur's regime.

Can you tell I am on a Mermaid kick, well mainly because I am trying to finish up a reading challenge, but they are growing on me. I want a pretty mermaid tail!!

Fish Out of Water was my favorite out of the series. It had spunk, and the story line went in more depth than the first two books did. I love Fred the mermaid... she is kicking butt and taking down names, I just pray my name doesn't end up on her list. Meow!

Swimming without a Net: Review

Swimming Without a Net

( 2nd in the series)

by MaryJanice Davidson

Plenty of fish in the sea...

It's not normal for a mermaid to hate being out in the open water, but Fred never claimed to be normal. To visit the undersea realm of Arthur, the High Prince, and the rest of the royal merfamily, she has to fin it to the Cayman Islands. Luckily, hunky marine biologist Thomas is along for the swin- in his custom made underwater RV. He'll be able to explore where no " outlander" has gone before and give Fred a palce to escape to when the Undersea Folk start getting on her nerves.

But as Fred tries to fit in with her own kind, she finds herself hooked on both Artur and Thomas, and caught between two factions of merfolk: those happy with swimming under the radar- and those who want to bring their existence to the surface.

Another fast and witty book by Mary Janice Davidson. This serious is turning out to be good fluff! Meaning it is perfect for when you just need a break from everything else you are reading. Light reads are always perfect at keeping you on track. I did find that the book was rushed at the end. Hate when authors do this.

Sleeping with the Fishes: review

Sleeping with the Fishes

( 1st in the series)

by MaryJanice Davidson

Fred is not your ordinary mermaid. She's not blonde. She's not buxom. And she's definitely not perky. In fact, Fred can be downright cranky. And it doesn't help matters that her hair is blue.

While volunteering at the New England Aquarium, Fred learns that there are weird levels of toxins in the local seawater. A gorgeous marine biologist wants her help investigating. So does her merperson ruler, the High Prince of the Black Sea. You'd think it would be easy for a mermaid to get to the bottom of things. Think again.

If you are looking for a quick and a funny read, look no more! This book will give you both of those things, but not too much more. The story line is fantastic, but it needed to be hammered out more, it just didn't flow. The characters have such potential if given the time to blossom. I did love Fred's care free attitiude, refreshing!

Demon's Hunger: Review

Demon's Hunger

by Eve Silver

The Compact of Sorcerers, a brotherhood sworn to protect the wall between the human and demon realms, is thrust into battle with an unseen evil that threatens to destroy them all...

Forensic anthropologist Vivien Cairn fears she's losing her mind. Her libido has kicked into overdrive, and she's blacking out, leaving hours of her life unaccounted for and no memory of where she's been or what she's done. But when a sexy stranger rescues her from a demon attack, Vivien realizes there's more than just her sanity at stake.

A seductive killer is luring victims, and Sorcerer Dain Hawkins finds himself walking a dangerous line between ancient duty and sizzling desire when the brotherhood--and Vivien herself--begins to suspect that her mysterious symptoms may connect her to the crimes. Can Dain save Vivien from the evil that threatens to claim her? Or will they both succumb to...

Demons are becoming the new vampire to me! At least in this series of books. Demon's Hunger was awesome and I thought I had it figured all out at chapter 7 ( or maybe it was 8) but I was wrong, yes!! Hottness!

But.... I could go without so many GD words, you know the man upstairs plus the word damn! This word makes my skin crawl, I don't use it and in fact I will not even read it when it is in a book. Instead I say gosh darn! Also I feel like the book had tons of details and than all of a sudden it was rushed at the end.

A Touch of Dead: Review

A Touch of Dead

by Charlaine Harris

Inside Cover:

For the first time, here is every Sookie Stackhouse story ever written- together in one volume.

In "Fairy Dust," Sookie finds her mind-reading talents in demand when a fairy from a set of triplets gets dusted.

" Dracula Night" may be the commemoration of the Prince of Darkness's birth, but it's Sookie who gets a tasty-looking present.

Learning that her cousin is dead is shocking enough for Sookie. Learning that her cousin was a vampire who got staked leaves her speechless in " One Word Answer".

When Sookie teams up with her witchy friend Amelia to discover who has it out for Bon Temp's most successful agent, they get " Lucky".

A solo Sookie has the holiday blues in "Gift Wrap", until she has an unexpected encounter with someone who has bigger problems than loneliness.

This book was a nice read in the fact that it gave me a taste of what I was missing. I am a huge fan of the Sookie Stackhouse series, huge! This book was just enough to keep me content but not enough to live up to the other books about Sookie! It was a fast read, finished it mere hours and it was nice to catch up with old friends old characters!
