We all know I love me some JR Ward. I have a freaking information page that is very out of date but devoted to her. I loooooooove her books. They are cracky fun. They have 500 different plot lines in every one, use ridiculous slang but they are my brothers. The Shadows came out yesterday. I wasn't that excited about reading it because Trez and iAm haven't excited me in the past - but some peeps on Twitter said crazy things happened, so I plopped my butt down and read it. And honestly I Continue Reading

J.R. Ward Announces BDB Spin-off Series
What, what, what you say? Thanks to a post from Heroes and Heartbreakers, we just learned some exciting news. JR Ward has just posted a thread at Goodreads that she is doing a BDB spin-off series. Hooray! She wants to go back to true PNR where there is a hero and a heroine and they fall in love - and get away from the 20 different storylines in current BDB books.

Let’s Talk: The King by J.R. Ward
The King by JR Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood #12) Paranormal Romance Released: April 1, 2014 Penguin Spoilers Ahead!!! Beth and Wrath: I think we all knew coming into this book, we would see a mating between Beth and Wrath ('Bath?') that was going to go through a bumpy road. And I think pregnancy drama was expected. I enjoyed all of their interactions in this book. Wrath's terror at the thought of Beth being pregnant. "I need you to hear this," he said in a dead voice, "and Continue Reading

Let’s Discuss: Lover at Last by J.R. Ward
Please note!! There are spoilers below. If you do not want to be spoiled, I wrote a spoiler-free review of Lover at Last for USA Today. JR Ward has been torturing us for years with Blay and Qhuinn. While this is my favorite series, I also tend to not love and squee over every book. Ward tends to have 1,245 different storylines and POVs in each book, sometimes distracting away from the main H/H. However – while yes we get lots of different side stories, I was very happy with Blay and Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–November 30th
10. Grrrr Gi Joe. You beast. (Thanks May) 9. JR Ward gave us a tiny excerpt from Lover at Last yesterday. From page 43: Blay leaned in, his upper lip peeling back from his fangs. “Just so we’re clear, your cousin is giving me what I need. All day long. Every day. You and me?” He motioned back and forth between them with the cigarette. “We work together. That’s it. So I want you to do us both a favor before you think I ‘need’ to know something. Ask yourself, ‘If I were flipping burgers at Continue Reading

Kresley Cole has posted the first five chapters of Shadow’s Claim. Continue Reading
