Phantom Shadows by Dianne Duvall (Immortal Guardians #3) Paranormal Romance Released: October 2, 2012 Zebra Reviewed by Helyce I was so excited to return to the world of Ms. Duvall’s Immortal Guardians that I started reading this book the moment it arrived from the publisher and I was not disappointed. It’s done so well, that I truly want to live in her world regardless of the threat of vampires! In this book, we get Bastian’s story. When we met him in a previous book, he was Continue Reading
To Be Read – January
One of my favorite things to do is to scan through upcoming releases and prepare my TBR pile to be filled. Here are a few books I’ve found that are coming out in the next couple months that look good to me. One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean – January 29. This is book two in Sarah MacLean’s The Rules of Scoundrels series. This one excites me because the heroine loves science and research. The hero is a bookkeeper of The Fallen Angel, a gaming hell. And I believe he is a ginger. Continue Reading
Review and Giveaway: Tigerland by Sean Kennedy
Tigerland by Sean Kennedy (Tigers & Devils #2) Contemporary M/M Released: October 15, 2012 Dreamspinner Reviewed by Mandi Tigers & Devils is one of my all time favorite books (you can read my review here). Simon is one of the most cynical and warm characters I’ve met. When he falls in love with the very famous Australia football star, Declan, their relationship in that book was sweet, although strained as they made their way through intense public scrutiny. Declan Continue Reading

Review: The Valkyrie’s Guardian by Moriah Densley
The Valkyrie’s Guardian by Moriah Densley Paranormal Romance Released: October 22, 2012 Crimson Romance Reviewed by May I feel like a freak show. It’s definitely not that, baby. More like a princess on a ship with a bunch of horny pirates. Cassie is special, and yet she’s also weak. Not being immortal combined with no super strong powers makes her an extra-sentient that needs protecting. Jack descended from an ancient line of kilt-wearing, bagpipe-playing, Gaelic-speaking Scottish Continue Reading

Josh has a huge crush on both Continue Reading
