Christine Warren – The Others Series Reading Order

By 31 Comments

LATEST UPDATE: June 24th 2011 –>BIG NOTE on this reading order list. As per the author, this is the TRUE order of her books, (including her e-books) for the series “The Others”. It appears some of her stories had/have different publishers, (and were titled differently in past releases). While they can each be read as stand alone books, this guide lists the books in the order in which they should be read (regardless of publication date).

As per the author’s note for her readers (as found in “Black Magic Woman“) read more

Book Review – Any Way You Want It by Kathy Love

Any Way You Want It (Bourbon Street Book 1)
After a crazy week of work, appointments, and other responsibilities, I was  finally able to repose at the end of the weekend with a gratifying tale of passion.

Immersing myself fully in the book was rocky at first. The weekend was here, but the commotion was abundant. We had a sudden plumbing emergency (when the shower faucet decided to pop right off, spraying water everywhere), followed by the dogs barking incessantly for attention, and finally the husband who felt the need to express his boredom through dramatic groaning. Let me tell you, these distractions definitely tried to put a damper on the emotional ambiance of the story. However, once I had everything settled, I read (mostly uninterrupted), for hours on end, yielding to the romance that encompassed me. read more

Book Review – Undead and Unemployed by Mary Janice Davidson

Undead and Unemployed
The 2nd and 3rd installments of this series have been my favorite so far, and I believe it is due to the romantic tension between Betsy and Eric. Despite being furiously angry at Eric for “tricking” her into becoming his “wife” (as per vampire law), and ruling by her side as king to her queen, she can’t deny her attraction to him. While she does her best to snub him, and combat his every move, she finds herself unable to resist and ends up tangled with him in the most intimate situations. read more

Book Review – Undead and Unwed by Mary Janice Davidson

Undead and Unwed

I am absolutely LOVING this series. I wasn’t certain I was in the mood for a silly fun female vampire series, but it is suiting me nicely! We’ve got laugh out loud moments, a nice romantic conflict, a sexy strong Vampire king, and some danger that never gets too intense.

This particular book looks into the life of the “newly” made Vampire “Betsy” (real name Elizabeth Taylor), who doesn’t think her “undead” status should change her life from how she used to live it. read more
