Lover Reborn: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood
I finally just hit the 50% mark and I’m so into this book. We all know I LOVE Alpha males and I think THIS is the series that started me on ’em. The way these guys speak, their ‘tude, everything about them. PURE MALE!!! Over the course of the years she has written this series, these guys stay true, feel real, and I’m right back at home with them.

It took a bit, getting back into the world and fluctuating between three different stories. I was finding myself missing the old days, when I first discovered this series. You know… when it seemed an entire book centered pretty much on one couple, mostly just the one story, and you could completely lose yourself in them? read more

About book #1:

Two hundred years after her death, Jane Austen is still surrounded by the literature she loves—but now it’s because she’s the owner of Flyleaf Books in a sleepy college town in Upstate New York. Every day she watches her novels fly off the shelves—along with dozens of unauthorized sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations. Jane may be undead, but her books have taken on a life of their own.

To make matters worse, the manuscript she finished just before being turned into a vampire has been rejected by publishers—116 times. Jane longs to let the world know who she is, but when a sudden twist of fate thrusts her back into the spotlight, she must hide her real identity—and fend off a dark man from her past while juggling two modern suitors. Will the inimitable Jane Austen be able to keep her cool in this comedy of manners, or will she show everyone what a woman with a sharp wit and an even sharper set of fangs can do? read more

Freebie Alert!! One Of My Favorite New Authors (R.L. Mathewson) Is Giving Away…

FREE (temporarily): Tall, Dark & Lonely (Pyte Series) —> VAMPIRES (and humans)!! And considering how much I LOVED her “Neighbors from Hell” series, I’m very excited to start this one!

Again, do not just her books by the covers. Sure they look tame and nondescript on the outside but they are exciting and hilarious and steamy on the inside. And so far, two for two, I’ve connected 100% to the story and characters and she is definitely what I consider a HUGE find! read more

Jenn sent me a quick recommendation for this series:

“I just got done with Yasmine Galenorn’s Night Myst. I loved it… I have read of few of her Otherworld Series they were good but I enjoyed her new Night Series better.”

About the series:

The moon sheds light on a playground for monsters and magic…

Eons ago, vampires tried to turn the Dark Fae in order to harness their power. Instead, they created a demonic enemy more powerful than they dared to dream. Bent on enslaving the world, the Vampiric Fae have been quietly massing their strength for centuries. Now, Myst, queen of the Indigo Court, is rising again…and a long-prophesied war is brewing. read more
