The Darkest Pleasure (Hqn)
Reyes… Reyes, Reyes, Reyes. Reminded me somewhat of “Z” (from BDB series) so I ummm… kinda, put my brain picture of “Zsadist” and superimposed it onto Reyes. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Made for a mighty enjoyable read, and kinda like re-reading Z’s story (okay, maybe Z’s cousin or something). Oh, did I ever tell you I did that with “Tegan” from the Midnight Breed series? Yeah… if the hero has “Z-like” qualities, my “Z” image becomes the default in my head 😉
My Book Reviews
Book Review – Sheet Music: A Rock ‘N’ Roll Love Story by Ann Lister
Sheet Music – A Rock ‘N’ Roll Love Story
A couple of weekends ago, I went on another “rock star book” hunt, and I found a bunch (all nicely loaded into my iPad). None of them are “main stream” or very popular (some didn’t even have reviews yet), but that’s okay. There’s a “first time” for everything (and some of my favorite books recently, have been relatively unknown). Each of my “finds” had a synopsis that tickled my fancy, (you know… the whole, normal girl accidentally runs into her favorite star or, maybe even someone she doesn’t personally recognize) but quickly gets caught up in the whirlwind of insecurities and fangirl crushes that go along with dating a rock star. So it was good enough for me.
Oh THIS One Is My Favorite Kerrelyn Sparks Cover, Hands Down! The Sexiest Vampire Alive Cover Revealed!
Sexiest Vampire Alive (Love at Stake)
Gorgeous GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!!! Gregori is NEXT. He is a young and modern vampire, and quite the player, to boot! 😉 I can’t wait to read about him. His human mom will be in the picture too, so this has got to be good! I hope he gives his female match a bit of a hard time like Carlos did. That book really rev’d me up, and made me crazy. I love when the “love match” isn’t easy, and a player like Gregori *should* be a promising read.
Book Review – The Darkest Kiss by Gena Showalter
The Darkest Kiss (Hqn)
Hrmm…. good, but not overwhelmingly good. I wanted to finish it and I enjoyed the story progression (lots of little side things going on), but I found my self easily setting it aside. That first kiss had me swooning (I LOVE a resistant hero). But…. I didn’t fall in love with Lucien. I blame Anya for that. Maybe it’s cause she’s already an immortal female, and I’m jealous of ’em. Yeah, yeah…. you already knew that 😉 After two years of reading this genre, I’ve deduced that I prefer books with male immortals (of any kind) who fall for mortal females. Plain ol’ human females, or *special* humans are good too. I can relate to ’em a little more. Okay… perhaps I’m being a *little* catty.
Book Review – The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter
The Darkest Night (Hqn)
What is the difference between a bossy guy that makes you growl with anger and a bossy guy that makes you purr? Well… the purr-inducer is a paranormal hottie that doesn’t know any better. He doesn’t “get” us modern women and he just can’t help his bossiness. Hundreds of years (thousands?) spent in torture, with out love will do that to a guy. Oh… and he’s irresistably intense.
Hey! What?! *blush* I’m making excuses for this guy? I suppose I have a need to explain and rationalize my reason for crushing on this “hero” so badly (cause really, I should have wanted to kick him you know where!) I mean, I found myself frequently appalled and yet completely… *ahem* smitten. Yeah. Smitten. Let’s go with that 😉
