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
Until next time...
Happy Reading!

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!

Highlander in Her Bed

by Allie Mackay

Synopsis:

Tour guide Mara MacDougall stops at a London antique shop-and spots perhaps the handsomest bed ever. Then she bumps into the handsomest man ever. Soon Mara can't forget the irresistible-if haughty-Highlander. Not even when she learns that she's inherited a Scottish castle.

Spectral Sir Alexander Douglas has hated the Clan MacDougall since he was a medieval knight and they tricked him into a curse-the curse of forever haunting the bed (the very one that Mara now owns) that was once intended for his would-be bride. But Mara makes him feel what no other MacDougall has-a passion that he never knew he'd missed.

This was a fun read, light and romantic as well. It was very mild in the steamy category and I felt it had some holes that needed to be filled. I finished this book, but I wasn't left wanting more or mourning the end of it. Good book, just don't expect the wow factor when reading it.

Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband: Review

(The Daughters of the Glen, Book 1)

Synopsis

SCOTLAND, 1272. Connor MacKiernan, a descendant of the Fae Prince, is a warrior who lives only for honor and duty. Though he's vowed never to marry, that's exactly what he must do to save his sister. Enter a little Faerie magic, and the search for a bride is on.

DENVER, 2007. Caitlyn Coryell is having a really bad day — she just discovered her fiancĂ© with another woman! Imagine her surprise when she puts on some sexy lingerie and an antique pendant and Connor appears in her bedroom, begging for her help. He offers a simple yet outrageous adventure: travel to his time, marry him, and return home.

But nothing's simple when Cate is trapped in the thirteenth century. The wedding's delayed, someone's trying to kill her, and in the middle of all this, she realizes she's falling in love with a man who can only be her husband for thirty nights.

Where do I sign up for a Highland Husband, wowzer! I loved this book! It was one of those books where I sat there and mourned the end of this book. The characters were so believable and to top it off the book was not predictable at all! A real package deal!

Demon's Kiss: Review

Demon's Kiss
by Eve Silver

The Compact of Sorcerers, a brotherhood sworn to guard the wall between the human world and the demon realm, have relied only on one another for centuries. But now there's a traitor in their midst...

Struggling medical student Clea Masters knows she's unique. Ever since her parents' death, she's been kept safe by an inexplicable force inside her that knocks back any threat. But when a demon attacks her, Clea is launched into a dangerous world she never knew existed. Her only ally is a lethal, seductive man who arouses a hunger stronger than anything she has ever imagined...

Compact of Sorcerers member Ciarran D'Arbois will not let harm befall Clea. In her, he sees a strength he admires and a body he longs to caress. Yet demons are determined to break down the portal Ciarran has sworn to protect, using Clea as their key. Now as a rogue sorcerer leads the enemy ever closer, Ciarran and Clea have only one hope. Both must surrender to their darkest passions--and unleash their most dangerous, untested desires.

DEMON'S KISS--Which is more deadly, his passion or his power?

Demon's Kiss had so much going on... action, check! Romance, check! Strong heroine, check! Hot and sexy hunk, check.. CHECK!

This series is new to me and after reading Demon's Kiss I can't wait to dive into the other books in the series.
