Review ~ Lover Eternal by J.R. Ward

Title:  Lover Eternal
Author: J.R. Ward
Series: Black Dagger Brotherhood (Book 2)
Publisher:  Penguin (July 3rd 2006)

Within the brotherhood, Rhage is the vampire with the strongest appetite. He's the best fighter, the quickest to act on his impulses, and the most voracious lover-for inside him burns a ferocious curse cast by the Scribe Virgin.

Possessed by this dark side, Rhage fears the times when his inner dragon is unleashed, making him a danger to everyone around him. When Mary Luce is unwittingly thrown into the vampire world, she must rely on Rhage's protection. Knowing that Mary feels the same intense animal attraction, Rhage must make her his alone...

Cover Reveal ~ ICED

"I figure the folks that are the most interesting get to go to heaven. I mean, if I was God, that’s who I’d want there with me. I also figure being eternally happy would be eternally boring so I try not to be too interesting, even though it’s hard for me. I’d rather be a superhero in hell than an angel in heaven. What the feck would I do all day if I wasn’t kicking demon ass?"

Yes! Finally! Karen Marie Moning posted on her facebook the official cover of Iced: A Dani O'Malley Novel. Isn't it badass??? Release Date: October 30, 2012

Early Review ~ Crave by Felicity Heaton

Title: Crave
Author: Felicity Heaton
Series: Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance #2
length: 110 pages
Release Date: March 10th 2012

His mind has been set on his work for the past one hundred years. Now a forbidden beauty has stolen his attention and is threatening to steal his heart too.

Callum has come to the city of romance on business, not pleasure, but when he sets eyes on a gorgeous werewolf in a nightclub, he can't ignore the dark carnal craving she ignites in him. His work for Vampirerotique, the erotic theatre he runs with three other vampires, can wait. The only thing that matters now is satisfying his sinful hunger for a woman who most vampires would consider an enemy.


Kristina is on the run from her pack. Her alpha is intent on forcing her to bear his child and she's not about to live through the same nightmare as her mother had. When a tall, dark and sexy vampire catches her eye, she can't believe the ferocity of the desire he unleashes in her or the fact that she enjoys the feel of his eyes on her and his silent pursuit of her in the clubs each night.

When Kristina finally gets a taste of Callum in a forbidden kiss, will she be strong enough to resist the allure of the vampire and his offer to share his bed for a week of unbridled, wild sex, or will she surrender to her own craving for the safety and passion she finds in his embrace?

Adults only--highly erotic vampire romance novella, contains light bondage

Bonus material: Crave includes a first chapter preview of the next book in the series, Seduce!

MY THOUGHTS:

ARC review!

Crave is the second book in the Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series. 

I really liked the first book, Covet and was curious about Crave, because Callum-as a side character in Covet, didn’t make me Crave for his story, but I liked Covet enough to stick with the series. Moreover, I am not disappointed. In fact, I loved Crave, more than Covet.

I have a very different view on Callum now. He’s really shining all the way through the book. We get to see his wickedness, his heart. He is a very good judge of character, he sees right through Kristina when she is trying to guard her feelings/past from him. I never expected Callum to be so…hm… erotic, seductive? But damn well sure that He is! 

I really liked Kristina’s personality. She seemed so confident, but it turned out that she is so vulnerable. What I love the most in Felicity’s characters is that they are realistic. Kristina’s character came out of the pages; I felt for her, I talked to her, and truly believed her story. Well done!

The erotic scenes were mind blowing. Really! Even when the characters were just dancing, You truly felt the heat. There was a specific scene in the bathroom with a mirror, some water… Man, that was HAWT! 

That forbidden romance between these two well built. Basically their romance and the time they’re spend together is what that is in the focus, we get a little action/complication only at the end of the book (which I DID NOT see coming, I expected something else to happen, it was a good twist), but it’s all right, since this series is an erotic paranormal romance.

P.S.: We get to see Snow for a brief moment at the end… SUCH A TEASE!!!!!

Burning. Intense. Hotter than Hell. Flawless. Read it, lose yourself in it and let Callum make you Crave for him, the other vampires and the VET.

The Alpha Alternative

OMG!!!!

A scorching hot 30-minute audio recording of the sex scene from Jericho Barrons' point of view!!

"Once I shared the scene via my Facebook page, I began getting deluged with emails asking me to ask my audiobook narrators, Phil Gigante and Natalie Ross (Faefever, Dreamfever, Shadowfever) to professionally record it. Ever interested in obliging the fans--especially if it means I get to hear Barrons having sex!-- I approached them about it. They have very busy schedules, but were finally able to clear time to go into the studio together and get it done. " - KMM
