Book of the Week--Wicked Nights by Gena Showalter
I'm a fan of Gena Showalters' Lords of the Underworld series, so when I saw the first book of her new Angels of the Dark series--a spinoff of the Lords of the Underworld series, I knew I had to give it a try.
Wicked Nights kicks off the new series and it was an interesting read. Showalter creates new mythologies with every series she writes and draws you into her fascinating world. I like Annabelle. This is a kickass heroine who is not afraid to fight evil when it finds her. Zacharel is an imperfect angel fighting for not only his own life, but the lives of the other angels in his army.
I enjoyed Wicked Nights and will definitely be checking out book two of this series. If you like paranormals with something different, you should really check out Wicked Nights.
BLURB:
Leader of the most powerful army in the heavens, Zacharel has been deemed too dangerous, too ruthless, and if he isn’t careful, he’ll lose his wings. But this warrior with a heart of ice will not be deterred . . . until a vulnerable human tempts him with a carnal pleasure he’s never before known.
Accused of a crime she did not commit, Annabelle Miller has spent four years in an institution for the criminally insane. Demons track her every move, and their king will stop at nothing to have her. Zacharel is her only hope for survival, but is the brutal angel with a touch as hot as hell her salvation—or her ultimate damnation? Show More Show Less

FREE E-Book for Limited Time
My very first book, and the first book in the Summersville Secrets trilogy, Annabelle Lee is now available for FREE for a limited time! If you've never tried it before, now is your chance!
BLURB:
By day Annabelle Lee is a perfect small town librarian, with loose-fitting dresses and hair scrunched up in a tight bun. But at night, lying in her lonely bed, her sensuality emerges in scorching, erotic dreams about Mike Sloan.
Annabelle's not the only one with a few fantasies. Mike has been dreaming of stripping her out of her prim clothing and getting her into his bed, and when the opportunity arises, he grabs at the chance. Soon they're heating up the sheets, and each other, with steamy sexual interludes.
While Annabelle is luxuriating in their no-strings secret affair, Mike is longing for something more permanent—like exploring the exhilarating heights of passion as man and wife.

Book of the Week--Colters' Lady by Maya Banks
This weeks book is Colters' Lady. Now, I've read this one before, but every now and then I like to revisit a book I particularly enjoyed. If you enjoy a tender, heart-wrenching love story with some really steamy love scenes, then you should check out this book. Heck, do yourself a favor and check out the entire series!
BLURB:
Colters’ Legacy, Book 2
When police officer Seth Colter sees the delicate, shabbily dressed beauty in line at the soup kitchen where he’s serving, he’s gut shot over the idea of her being on the streets cold and alone. More baffling is the dark, possessive instinct that tells him she belongs to him.
For Lily Weston, home is a secluded nook in a back alley—until Seth offers her a place to stay. She’s wary of his offer, but even one night out of the cold is too much temptation to resist.
Seth is convinced Lily is his. The problem is, when his brothers lay eyes on her, the same primitive instinct comes roaring to the surface. The Colters never imagined they’d follow the unconventional path of their fathers, but they can’t ignore their mutual need to offer Lily their protection—and their love. But before Lily and the brothers can forge a future together, they must heal the deep wounds of her past.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Warnings This title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, multiple partners, ménage a quatre, violence.
