THE BOOKLIST REVIEW


he Storm That Is Sterling.

Jones, Lisa Renee (Author)

Nov 2011. 384 p. Sourcebooks/Casablanca, hardcover, $6.99. (9781402251597).

The exciting Zodius futuristic suspense series features soldiers enhanced by a GTECH secret military experiment. Sterling Jeter, who is assigned to guard Rebecca Burns, the scientist working on an antidote for the highly addictive and fatal drug ICE. But Rebecca is also the high-school dream Sterling was never able to realize. She has cancer and tangling with bad guys who want her science skills for their ends has left her an ICE addict, too. She wants to take advantage of her time left with Sterling, while Sterling wants to protect her. As danger mounts, they try to sort out who is trustworthy. The GTECH and science details can best be followed with the help of the index, but they do not overwhelm the appealing characters or action. Jones' suspense truly sizzles with an energy similar to FBI tales with a paranormal twist by Julie Garwood or Suzanne Brockmann. Alpha, military, and paranormal romance readers will want Jones' entire series.


EXCERPT:


His cheek brushed hers, whiskers erotically scraping against her skin, his breath warm against her ear as he whispered, "If I instinctively know something so simple as how to order your dinner, think what else I might know about you. What we might know about each other. How to tease each other… How to please each other."


There was an emptiness inside her that shuddered with hope, with a plea that he would drive it away, fill it with something that wasn't icy and cold.


He pulled back and looked at her, his eyes dark, passionate. Compelling. "No regrets, Becca," he vowed, and she knew he'd found those words in her head. Words she'd sworn to live by when she'd left that German hospital without a cure. Words she'd spoken in her head in the lab earlier with him there.


She rolled them around inside her and let them take root, rewarded herself with a deep inhalation of Sterling's addictive, masculine scent. "No regrets," she said softly.


A slow smile formed on his lips. "I love it when you agree with me," he teased.


Becca laughed. "You're crazy."


"About you," he said huskily.


She felt a little schoolgirl rush from that. In the past, she would have felt like the geeky bookworm with the quarterback, uncomfortable and out of her league, but not with Sterling. Never before had a man taken her from such dark emotions to laughter. A place she might just find real escape.


She pressed her hands to his face, her lips to his. Absorbing him. Breathing him in like a little piece of life. They lingered that way, heat simmering between them. Expanding… drawing them in closer to one another without ever moving


His tongue flickered against her lips, pressed past her teeth as he slid it against hers for a long, sensual taste. "Your kisses taste like honey," he murmured. "What does the rest of you taste like?"


She shivered at the erotic comment—the promise he was going to find out. He kissed her again. Crazy-wild, hot-kissed her, and she loved every second of it. Loved his tongue, his lips, and his hands sliding through her hair, over her face.


Becca ran her fingers through his thick, blond hair. She loved his hair—a little wild like him. Hot like him too. With each stroke of his tongue, each touch of his lips, she felt liberated.


Her palms traveled over his chest—warm, hard muscle, her reward. She was extremely, intensely interested in those muscles, like the best science project in the world that had to be studied. She explored his arms, his biceps, how they felt beneath her palms. Inching forward in her chair, she arched into him, for research purposes, of course. To explore how he would feel pressed close to her. Her breasts ached for his touch, her nipples tight and swollen, in need of his mouth. God. Had she really just had that brazen thought? She was a good girl; she always had been.


His hands slid over her breasts, fingers teased the stiff peaks of her nipples. Her hands covered his, silently telling him she wanted more, because she couldn't ask or demand. Because she was still that "good girl" at heart and couldn't seem to let it go.


But she didn't want to be a good girl. If anyone knew the meaning of "life is short," she did. Becca ran her lips over his jaw, hid her face in his neck, and nibbled as she said, "You know what I want?"


He slid his hands around her waist. "If you say Chinese food, I'm going to object."


"I'll give you a choice then," she said, feeling braver with his jest. "Feed me, or take off your clothes."


"I'm all for getting naked, if you are," he quickly agreed.


"You first," she bargained.


And while the idea of standing in front of him naked, him fully clothed, would make her feel vulnerable, exposed, it apparently had none of those effects on him.


"Okay," he said, unaffected by the idea as he pushed to his feet and started undressing. And only seconds later, he stood there in all his naked glory, and she sat there, fully clothed.

Well I've battled a migraine this week and I thought it was gone Wednesday night only to wake with it again. I'm praying that I wake without it tomorrow. It's kicked me in the teeth and made thinking nearly impossible. It's the worst I have had in years. DH thinks a tear in my back I managed at the gym triggered it. It did come right after that happened so maybe. Who knows with migraines.

And since Friday's make me want to go to the movies – its no surpise one of the two blogs is about the new scary movie out today. I hope you will come visit me!

Alluring Tales release party and contest with Myla Jackson! The Voodoo You Do!

Welcome Myla Jackson! She's offering a steamy excerpt from her new Alluring Tales story and a chance to WIN the trade paperback ALLURING TALES 2 at the end of the post!! She has has a contest on her webpage so read onward and enjoy and then enter to win!




That Voodoo You Do

by Myla Jackson


Weaving the right spell…


Determined to convince a rich heiress that the land she just bought should be left undeveloped, panther shape-shifting brothers use a little Voodoo to abduct her and bring her to the swamps to woo her to their side of the bayou.


Trapped in an unfamiliar world…


Catherine Boudreaux struggles to escape before she falls victim to the bayou's allure and the magic the brothers weave over her.


Warning: Two hot panther shifters, one sassy heiress and the bayou will never be the same…


Excerpt


That Voodoo You Do

by Myla Jackson


Catherine Boudreaux slid into the back seat of the limousine, dead tired and sick of all the push and shove of a night out in New Orleans.

James Roland, her so-called date, dropped in next to her, slobbering drunk, with hands and arms like a freakin' octopus. Even before the chauffeur closed the door, James's fingers ran over her body, slipping beneath her dress straps to pinch her breasts.

Sharp pain pierced her nipples. "James, no." She pushed him away only to have him slide back, pressing her down against the leather seat.

"Come on, baby, you know you want some of this." He rubbed hard ridge beneath his fly against her thigh, while sticking a wet, disgusting tongue into her ear.

The man worked out. He had a nice body, but he was arrogant, obsessive and annoying. Not to mention, he was stronger than she was and using that strength to his advantage.

"What part of no did you not understand?" she asked, struggling to stay ahead of his groping.

"Your lips are saying no, but your body is telling me yes."

"I don't know what translation you're using, but you've got it all wrong." She shoved both hands hard against his chest. "Let me up now, or I'll have to get violent."

"Yeah, baby, I love it when you talk tough." His fingers squeezed harder on her nipple and his tongue dug deeper into her ear.

Her body stiffened. Catherine only wanted to go home and sleep off a migraine quickly growing in proportion to the amount of gymnastics she performed to evade James.

"Come on, let's do it here." James ground his pelvis against hers, his head descending to claim her lips.

Catherine turned her face from his kiss, his wet lips sliming her cheek. "I'm not in the mood."

"Come on, don't you want to celebrate your purchase?"

"I'll celebrate in a bubble bath." Which sounded sadly more interesting than James.

His hands slithered down her body, cupping her pussy through the thin fabric of her dress. "That sounds like fun."

"Alone." Catherine slapped away his hand.

"You worked hard to acquire that tract of swamp land, imagine all the oil you can pump out of it." He shivered. "I get chills just thinking of all that money you'll add to your family fortune."

"Yeah. So what's that got to do with pawing me?" She planted a palm against his forehead and leveraged away his face.

"You and me, we're made for each other. I can help you invest all that lovely cash in the stock market. You'll be even richer."

Invest? Catherine went still beneath James. "Is that why you asked me out? You want to manage my money?"

"Hell, yeah." He planted a slobbery kiss against her chin, reeking of scotch. "Who wouldn't want to?"

Catherine sucked in a deep breath and let it out slowly. Why did she think this would be any different? James was handsome, well-built and…just like every other man she'd met since she'd inherited her grandfather's billions. They all wanted only one part of her—the part that included her bank account.

She fumbled for the intercom button on the door and jabbed it.

James shoved a hand into the slit of her skirt, his fingers hooking the elastic of her panties, ripping them over her hips.

The window behind the driver's seat slid downward. "Yes, Miss Boudreaux?"

"Stop the car," she demanded, straining against James's weight.

"Hey, shut the damned window," James shouted, flinging his shoe at the driver. "We're about to do some serious fucking."

"Like hell we are." Catherine brought up her knee sharply between James's legs, hitting his sweet spot with as much force as she could leverage. "Just in case you didn't get the message, I said no."

James screamed like a girl and fell over onto the floor, clutching his crotch.

In the middle of New Orleans traffic, the vehicle screeched to a halt. The chauffeur, dressed in a black suit with a crisp white shirt, black tie and mirrored sunglasses, opened the back door.

Catherine sat up quickly, straightening her dress to cover her naked breasts. "Etienne, please escort this gentleman to the curb."

"Etienne had a family emergency and wasn't able to perform the remainder of his driving duties tonight," the chauffeur announced. "I'm his replacement, Lucien."

"Whatever," Catherine waved a hand. "Get this man out of here."

With a groan, James grabbed for her calf. "Catherine, don't play hard to get. I was only teasing."

"Get out, James." She kicked at his hand, her high heel connecting with the man's cheekbone, leaving a long, jagged scratch.

James grabbed his face. "Bitch." When he reached for her again, Lucien yanked the offensive man by his feet, dragging him from the limousine and onto the sidewalk. Once James was outside the vehicle, the chauffeur assisted the man to his feet, and dusted him off, with a great deal of civility, even retrieving the shoe James had flung.

Then Lucien closed the car door.

Catherine punched the lock button as James lunged for the door handle. He yanked on it and then pounded both fists against the window. "Catherine Boudreaux, you'll pay for this!"

She leaned back against the seat, rubbing her fingers over her sore nipples, feeling like she'd already paid for it. Her hand fell to her side landing on a soft fabric pouch. Had it fallen out of James's pocket? Catherine switched on a reading light and studied the object. If she wasn't mistaken, this was a gris gris pouch, the kind the Voodoo shops sold by the thousands to gullible tourists.

What was James doing with it? Trying to weave a little love spell?

Catherine snorted. Not happening. She rolled down the window, about to throw the pouch at James.

Before the window slid down, the limo pulled out into traffic. "Are you all right, Miss Boudreaux?" Lucien called through the open dividing glass.

She stared into the rearview mirror, expecting the mirrored sunglasses, instead she fell into the driver's deep gold eyes reflecting back at her. He had black hair and equally black brows, his skin swarthy and tanned.

Yum. Something primal stirred deep in Catherine's body.

"Where to, ma'am?"

With the gris gris clenched in her hand, her head pounding as if natives beat tom toms in rhythm with her pulse, Catherine's eyes blurred and she dragged her gaze from the handsome driver. Her head fell back against the seat. "I don't care…take me away."

"Anywhere in particular?" he asked.

"An island out in the middle of nowhere." She closed her eyes, willing the pain to ease from her temples. "Someplace where people like that creep James can't find me would be nice."

"I know just the spot," the chauffeur murmured.
