"A Mating Dance" [Ashwood Falls Series, Book 2] by Lia Davis

My Book Summary : Cameron (Cam) has been fighting her mating (or really just stretching it out) to Blaine ever since her miscarriage years ago but when Graham comes to Ashwood Falls for family visit Cam finds that her life and her original reasons for putting off their mating are changing by the moment. Now if Blaine and Graham can prove to her that this is what they want and need then everything might work out for them. Except with the Onyx Pack set out to get Ashwood Falls, and Graham's step-kids more directly, things for this soon-to-be triad have become dangerous then ever before...

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! Three people find their perfect counterparts, if only they can protect each other and their growing family before it's too late. I was thoroughly intrigued by this novel and it got me very curious as to see where this series will go. I had seen the prequel and book 1 of this series on Amazon.com before but neither interested me enough to read them as this novel did, and I'm so glad I picked it up! Cam, Blaine, & Graham make a great triad that kept you on your toes while rooting for them and their makeshift family from the very beginning. Plus it didn't hurt that Max was adorable!

I recommend this novel and series to anyone who likes paranormal erotic suspenseful romances.

"You kissed Cam."
Graham stilled, his hand holding the fork inches from his mouth, and he met Blaine's hard gaze. He set the fork down on the plate, letting the metal hit the ceramic with a clink. "She told you?"
Blaine's lips twitched. "No, you just did." ~ within Chapter 5

Graham sat down on the island, and Blaine set his coffee in front of him. "Thanks."
Blaine nodded and pushed a box of donuts to him. "I see that you had a nice evening."
Graham jerked his head up and locked gazes with Blaine but relaxed when Blaine smiled. "You could have warned me she was a biter."
Blaine's lips twitched. "We're felines. We're all biters."
"Cam takes it to another level."
Blaine threw his head back and laughed. "True." ~ within Chapter 12

"Magick" [The Coven Series, Book 3] by Trish Milburn (aka Tricia Mills)

My Book Summary : It seems that Jaxina (Jax) is going to learn the biggest lesson of all, love can prove to be more powerful than anything ... even her darkness if only she can trust herself and those around her. With the help of her best friends, Egan & Toni, her hunter boyfriend, Keller, and their loose agreement/relationship with the Bane (a group of witches who's goal is to destroy the dark covens) Jax might just learn to become a true white witch and defeat the dark covens that plan on coming to Salem to destroy her.

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars, an excellent wrap up to this enticing series!! I loved that this novel started right where the "Bane" ended, throwing you into the action from the very beginning with no slowing down. I especially liked how this novel grew on Keller and Jax's relationship and really answered the questions as to what a white witch is and can do. Reading about the new characters was fun too and I loved Jax's matchmaker skills!! *hehee*

I recommend this novel and series to anyone who loves YA paranormal thrillers with plenty of romance included!

- On a side note -

"What is this place?" Keller asks as he stops beside me.
"Where I woke up when the poison wore off."
I don't need witch powers to sense Keller going rigid. After a breath, he walks forward and lifts one of the chains attached to the chair arm. He looks back at me with a mixture of disbelief and his handsome features stretched by a fury that would have seemed less out of place before I killed Barrow. "They chained you like an animal?"
"I am an animal, Keller. One you promised to put down if I went too far."
He drops the chain, filling the stone room with the echo of the clanging metal hitting the floor. He strides across the room and leans his palms against the wall. "Despite what happened, I'm not going to apologize for not killing you."
"You can't stand there and tell me you didn't think I was totally gone as you watched me kill a man."
He spins toward me. "I can say that," he says, with a raising voice. ~ within Chapter 4

As expected, Sarah isn't happy when we tell her the plan. "I think in the midst of all this, you all have forgotten you're not adults yet."
"But we've been through more than most adults go through in their entire lives," I say. "We've managed to elude capture more than once."
"And there's the little fact that Jax is stronger than all of us put together," Piper says.
Sarah gives her niece a frustrated look. "When did you get so rebellious?"
Piper smiles. "I've been saving up."
Sarah rolls her eyes. ~ within Chapter 10

"Carter..." Lang Camden groaned again.
"Good pie," the toddler responded. "More!"
"I think you've had your limit. But we'll buy one to take home," the obviously inept caregiver promised.
"The ra'berry one," Carter demanded enthusiastically.
The older of her two customers again sat the child in the chair. Then he used the wet towel in another attempt to clean him up. ~ within Chapter 1

"Maybe both of you guys got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," she muttered as she did.
Apparently Carter thought he was supposed to respond to her comment, because he said, "I pooss uh phun in uh toy-et."
Heddy didn't quite follow that. "You put fun in the toilet?" she asked, thinking he was talking about potty training in some fashion.
"No, uh cephun," Carter corrected.
"You put Lang's cell phone in the toilet?" she asked.
"An my Mick-eye Mouse wash."
Heddy had noticed that Carter was only wearing one of his wristwatches today. "You put your Mickey Mouse watch and Lang's phone in the toilet," she translated.
"An a bad shoe. I fooshed 'em!" he confirmed.
"You flushed them?"
"Wa-er aw ober!"
"Water all over..." Heddy was getting the picture. ~ within Chapter 6

"Beautiful Danger" [In the Company of Vampires Series, Book 1] by Michele Hauf

Author's Book Description : Could Her Sworn Enemy Lead Her Out of Darkness?

As a member of an ancient order of vampire hunters, Lark has found that eliminating dangerous vampires is about more than duty. It's personal—a kill for every day her husband was held captive before his death. Staking her prey isn't a challenge until she confronts Domingos LaRoque. Mad with vengeance and the blood of a powerful phoenix, Domingos tests her skills...and seduces her soul.

Once a talented musician, Domingos can't escape the constant music in his head...or his need to destroy the werewolf pack that tortured him. Though trusting the hunter ordered to kill him can be his gravest mistake, the dark desires between them can't be refused. Yet as he and Lark become allies to defeat a mutual threat, loving the enemy may be the ultimate sacrifice.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, this thrilling romance about a "psycho" vampire falling in love with his enemy and a trained vampire hunter finding out that not every vampire is "cut from the same cloth" is one where you never know what will happen next. I enjoyed this novel more then I expected. Yet I still wish there was more to it's ending then what was offered, I think it could of been just so much more.

Either way, I recommend this novel to anyone who likes paranormal romances with unusual twists.

She didn't want his bite.
Or did she?
No. A knight who willingly took a vampire bite would be not only ousted from the Order, but thrown out in such a manner that his or her last breath would be witnessed by the entire Order. Live to serve. Serve until death...
You're not a knight right now, Lark. You left the knight at the threshold to the enemy's lair. Stop thinking like one. ~ within Chapter 10

"Don’t Bite the Bridesmaid" [Sons of Kane Series, Book 1] by Tiffany Allee

My Book Summary : Alice has had a crush on her neighbor, Noah, for years and now after a few drinks of liquid courage she plans to ask him to assist her into being her "pretend boyfriend" during her younger sister's week-long-cruise-wedding.

Noah never expected his sexy neighbor to stop by with that kind of requested. He's very tempted to turn her down. Only because he's a vampire and it really wouldn't be the best place for him to be, especially if he has to be in the sun some of the times and surrounded by humans (mostly the delectable Alice) in close proximity 24/7. However, he's in need of getting out of town and this is the perfect excuse .... if only they can keep their emotional distance from each other they might still want to go back to their usual lives once the wedding cruise is all over, but that's a BIG IF!

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, this sweet paranormal romance will sweep you off your feet. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Alice and Noah's (a little unusual) world-win romance. They are perfect for each other because they balance each other out. Plus, it made me very intrigued as to where/how this series was going to go because of the mention of "Noah's brothers" and of the situation that happened with Alice's brother, it definitely sounds interesting. I can't wait to find out what will happen next!

The only thing that would have made this novel better would be if the big climax about Noah's "marriage issues" had a little more involved to it, so it wasn't just a "oh you choose her instead, okay" kind of deal. =0/

I recommend this novel and series to anyone who likes sexy/sweet erotic paranormal romances!

Book Teaser(s) :

Rage fired from his gut at the idea of anyone—even himself—using Alice for a week of fun, only to say goodbye to her. She wasn’t the type, and he held his fists at his sides to avoid showing Charles how he felt about the suggestion.
“She lives next door. If I slept with her, she’d assume that would give her the right to drop in whenever.” He forced the words out, hoping Charles would believe that’s what worried him.
Charles didn’t look convinced, but he tilted his head in a quick nod. “True. You’re right. Best to keep things friendly. But it’s also best you go on this cruise.”
“Fine. But if I come back here to a wedding, I’m going to be pissed.” ~ within Chapter 1

As if nothing had happened, Noah started the dance again, but his body moved so closely against hers that she could feel him. So tempting. So powerful.
The air left the room, and it was as if they were alone with the thundering beat and Spanish words singing around them. There was nothing but him. His scent draped around her, filling her lungs with spice and a touch of sweat. He smelled like a man should smell. His hand slid down to caress the small of her back. His body directed her every movement.
Heat slid through her and settled at her core. God, she wanted him. Wanted him to slip off her dress, and slide those strong hands down her body. Touch her and make her call out his name. She could feel it. He’d be as commanding in bed. Showing her what he wanted with his body. Reading hers just as easily.
Crap. The music had stopped. When had it stopped? ~ within Chapter 6
