Following my heart, one book at a time...
Kristen Ashley is a QUEEN of alpha-male romance, and intense emotion. And to think she’s got a sweet paranormal (romance) series too! I can’t wait to give these a try!
Tracie: Fairytale Come Alive is one of her most emotional emotional and beautiful books. Prentice will make your heart swoon.. I’ve read them all and the only one I didn’t love was Sommersgate House. Only cause it frustrated me. But the others were all outstanding.
Jen: Penmort Castle is another favorite of mine.
Who wants a chance to win a print copy of Kristen Ashley’s latest upcoming release, JAGGED? We’re moving fast on this one folks, ’cause this book officially comes out on Tuesday (but it is up for pre-order), and the publisher has THREE print copies to giveaway to a lucky commenter right here, and they’re hoping to get the copies to the winners by (or before) release day! Kristen Ashley is one of my absolute FAVORITES!!!!! So if you haven’t discovered her magnificence yet, then you MUST! She knows, er… I mean “writes” 😉 the BEST ALPHAS EVER!
Night Owl (The Night Owl Trilogy)
I loved it! Fun fun fun, suuuuuper-steamy (like eye-popping at times… he’s got a dirty dirty mouth!) but SO much more than that. Definitely erotica but with an intense story in the mix, and a twist or two (right off the bat) that grabbed me. And then bring on the angst! Yet, I dunno how to describe this one, without giving too much away. It’s like everything we love to read, but with it’s own “feel” you know?
I posted it on a recent bargain post this month when Justine recommended it saying:
Worth the Fight
Worth the fight… worth the read. And while it didn’t necessarily put me into a swooning, squee’ing frenzy I still enjoyed it. It’s well-written, with solid characters, and a story that progressed smoothly. Never becoming too far-fetched in it’s moments of drama.
It comes complete with all of our favorite fighter/alpha-male characteristics: he’s pretty much undefeated, gorgeous, and unattainable. We get that fun “bad boy” response to the potential love interest (intense desire now, but…potential “issues” as things get serious) which can’t help but culminate into moments of innate alpha-male claiming tendencies.
As per this article on “Variety” actor Jamie Dornan (from that show “Once Upon A Time“) will be playing the role of Fifty! I had a mini-crush on him when we used to watch this show (so YAY!), but then again I had a crush on Charlie Hunnam too, so… *smirk* 😉
He also used to model (Calvin Klein model, even…) Ohhhh… I just found those. *grins*
I hope this time it works out, and I hope Jamie will rock our worlds!! Dakota Johnson remains on board for her role as Anastasia (I’m thinking the chemistry was still pretty good?)
