Happy Hump Day! You know why I'm here. I know what you came for. We both deserve it. And on this ordinary mid-week day, I bring news of an extra-ordinary, extraterrestrial treat! To my alien, Sci-fi romance aficionados, we are well and truly favored because Zoey Draven saw fit to release, for our smutty pleasure, The Alien's Seduction! It is lucky novel #7 in the series, but new readers should find this world is very easily acclimated. Series loyalists are certainly in for a treat, ready Continue Reading
Wistful/Wanton Wednesday: Fire in Her Eyes by Ruby Dixon
Cool cover- check. Post-apocalypticish paranormally romance with strong female lead- check. Ruby Dixon. Checkity, check, check, check! I've so (so!) been looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint. These kind of stories tend to lean heavily on reliable trope: alien male finds his one true human mate, he glowers, she fights it, and by then end we are all swooning. Fire in Her Eyes, turns the tables and the otherworldly Drakoni protagonist is a dangerously protective and Continue Reading
Sheena’s Wanton Wednesday: The Silver Fox Edition.
So. its Monday morning. I'm between novels and looking for something interesting...different to try on for size. My next anticipated read is Ward's Blood Truth (ugh, one more week) so in the meanwhile, I need something quick and easy and I'm in the mood to have a little fun. Timing is impeccable because Angela's new releases post was just what I needed. Not really sure what I'm looking for, I let my eyes do the choosin' and they land on Forbidden Kiss' cover. Salt -n-pepper beard- yep, Continue Reading
Wistful/Wanton Romance: Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon
Lucky for me, one of my favorite authors has a release schedule that keeps fresh, fun material in my hands on a nearly monthly basis. Lucky for you, I can never wait to come share the latest release and lucky for us, we can all enjoy it together! Best known for her sci-fi, Alien super sexy trope, Ruby Dixon takes on epic fantasy and builds a world that fills the chasm between Gods and Mortals and we see exactly what happens when their worlds collide and they dare fall in Continue Reading
Four reasons to start the Four Horseman series by Laura Thalassa
The Four Horsemen series by Laura Thalassa is all of the sexy, epic fantasy that I've been missing during my most unwanted reading slump. Aside from the occasional highlight (hello, all things Nalini Singh and the always reliable Kennedy Ryan and Ruby Dixon) it's been a rather 'meh' reading year. And then I see this gorgeous cover for War on my timeline, and I'm reminded that I've yet to read book 1, Pestilence of the Four Horseman series, that's been perched on my shelf for months. I knew War Continue Reading
Sheena’s Wistful Wanton Wednesday: Ice Planet Honeymoon: Vektal & Georgie by Ruby Dixon
What better way to indulge in a little randy escapism, than to get lost in a Ice Planet romance novella- in June! The Ice Planet has two temperatures-freezing and brutal- but that does not get in the way of the wealth of love, humor and passion found in Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet Barbarian's series; a series that thankfully has no signs of losing steam or slowing down, 17 (yes, 17!) novels deep. Dixon's latest novella, Ice Planet Honeymoon: Vektal & Georgie revisit the couple that started Continue Reading
Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!
Paula Quinn is one of those authors that moves me before I even read their novels. Just the idea of a Quinn release is enough to give me the warm and fuzzies along with the excited and squeelies. I anticipate and auto-buy her books so much because she delivers. Each and every time. The hero will be just what I need. Her heroines will be exactly who I want to champion and the story will be unique with the sweet hints of familiarity that make Quinn's world of Highlander romance so damn inviting. Continue Reading
Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!
You guys, we are totally making it. If this week is kicking your arse, or if you are on a roll taking no prisoners yourself, it's freaking hump day and we are halfway through the week! To celebrate our thriving/surviving, I have the perfect, perfect romantic treat! Samantha Chase is an auto-buy for me. I love her stories. They strike this balance of romance and steamy anticipation that rides you hard from beginning to end. This was never more evident than in her latest The Shaughnessy Continue Reading
Sheena’s Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!
What a whirlwind! I have been in a freaking rut. The rut of all reading ruts- the mother-rutter of them all- I'm talking romance desolation- and finally, finally snapped out of it. After yet another week of inspirationless, mindless, going-through-the-motions "reading"- which was really just me reading a bunch of my saved passages from past books- I came across just the thing to bring me to the land of the romancelandia living. I've been so disconnected from my beloved past-time (shakes fists at Continue Reading
Review: Before We Were Wicked by Eric Jerome Dickey
Reviewed by Sheena: I've been waiting for what feels like foreveer to wax utterly poetic about this novel. Then the day came and none of my words seemed adequate! Awesome!?- overused. Fantastic!??- typical Hey, read a cool book, want to hear about it!?- too casual. OMGILOVEDTHISSOMUCHREADIT!- unadulterated truth- but fangirl-cliche'. So, I revisited my initial thoughts and feelings after reading this gem and thought about what I most wanted to share and finally came up with some words that Continue Reading
