Book: Howl at the Moon (The Others #4)

Howl at the Moon (The Others, Book 4) Howl at the Moon by Christine Warren


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
Working for the Alpha of the Silverback clan in the heart of Manhattan, Samantha has always been right in the middle of everything. But what will she do when Noah Barker, human brother of Abby, who married the Sun Demon Rule, returns to do some recruiting for the government out of the members of the pack?

Run from him ... until he captures her and her heart. Will he hold it or break it like she fears?

Warren does an excellent job of reaching into the true emotions of both of the main characters and putting it onto paper. Translates very well ... my heart broke when Samantha's did and soared with Noah ... great read.

Book: Twilight Falls (A Novel of the Darkyn #6)

Twilight Fall: A Novel of the Darkyn (Darkyn, Book 6) Twilight Fall: A Novel of the Darkyn by Lynn Viehl


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Valentin Jaus is finally finding something to take his mind off Jema ... Liling Harper.

Beautiful, Asian and ... different, Jaus and Lili find themselves in each other arms right away.

The plot is twisted and lovely if you can get passed the light S&Mish undertone. Jaus is a dominate persona and Lili is submissive which makes them a perfect pair.

Book: Kitty Goes to Washington (Kitty Norville Series #2)

Kitty Goes to Washington (Kitty Norville, Book 2) Kitty Goes to Washington by Carrie Vaughn


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Called to testify before a grand jury led by a faith-driven, conservative nutjob, Kitty Norville has to travel to Washington, D.C. Not that big of a deal when you've been driving around the Southwest because if you return to Denver, your home, your old pack will kill you. Poor Kitty.

With the help of Ben, her lawyer, Kitty is going to need some kehonies to deal with the committee.

Before she even gets to her hotel, Kitty is taken from her car and brought to the home of the resident Vampire Master of D.C.

Soon, she's being escorted around the city by the Master's right hand man, Leo. At an event, she slips away for a night of fun when she scents another were ... a werejaguar ... a HOT werejaguar.

Between her new lover, the committee, pushy vampires and the reappearance of Cormac what could go wrong?

Oh poor Kitty ... we all know the answer is everything!

Book: Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld #3)

The Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld, Book #3) The Darkest Pleasure by Gena Showalter


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
The latest in the Lords of the Underworld Series, Gena Showalter delves into new levels of awesome with The Darkest Pleasure.

Constantly on the run, Danika has finally been caught. But not by the lords who once held her captive in Budapest. She fights off Hunters who have vowed to use her to draw out the Lords.

And draw them they do.

Reyes burst in like a man possessed (ha ha ha get it? possessed? never mind). Saving Danika, he brings her back to the castle in Budapest where he has to figure some things outs.

Like what is he going to do if Aeron still wants to kill her and her family? Where is her family? And what piece do they all play in the eyes of the gods?

S&M, pain and a little naughty sex all play out in the lives of Reyes and Danika.

Great read. Can't wait for the next one!

Book: The Canterbury Tales

The Canterbury Tales The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
I completely forgot why I liked this series of tales. It's what happens when you are a sophomore and not really pay attention in class (or as my bff Courts would say ... "wait, you went to that class?) ...

Bawdy, lewd and ridiculous for it's time. The Canterbury Tales weave morals, lessons and a lot of good 15th century humor into each tale.

My person favorite is the Wife of Bath's tale.
