Review: I love this series. But I'm starting to wonder were they will go next....Everyone is finding their mates....
It bites: New York hotels cost an arm and a leg, and Terri has flown from England to help plan her cousin’s wedding. The new in-laws offered lodging. But they’re a weird bunch -- and it isn’t just that they’re Canadian! There is the sometimes-chipper-sometimes-silent Lucern, and the wacky stage-actor Vincent: she can’t imagine Broadway casting a hungrier singing-and-dancing Dracula. And then there is Bastien. Just looking into his eyes, Terri has to admit she’s falling for someone even taller, darker, and hungrier. She’s feeling a mite peckish herself. And if she stays with him, those bloodsucking hotel owners won’t get her!

I loved this story of Wulf and Cassandra. There is so much additional information you learn about the Apollite race and different types of Daimons. I also loved how the story took place at the same time as others with out spoiling the other stories or forgetting information. I love the introduction of Apollomyi and Katra. Can't wait to learn more.

Review:Ilove this series and can't wait for the next one....
A laird trapped between centuries...
Enchanted by a powerful spell, Highland laird Drustan MacKeltar slumbered for nearly five centuries hidden deep in a cave, until an unlikely savior awakened him. The enticing lass who dressed and spoke like no woman he'd ever known was from his distant future, where crumbled ruins were all that remained of his vanished world. Drustan knew he had to return to his own century if he was to save his people from a terrible fate. And he needed the bewitching woman by his side....
A woman changed forever in his arms...
Gwen Cassidy had come to Scotland to shake up her humdrum life and, just maybe, meet a man. How could she have known that a tumble down a Highland ravine would send her plunging into an underground cavern -- to land atop the most devastatingly seductive man she'd ever seen? Or that once he'd kissed her, he wouldn't let her go?
Bound to Drustan by a passion stronger than time, Gwen is swept back to sixteenth-century Scotland, where a treacherous enemy plots against them ... and where a warrior with the power to change history will defy time itself for the woman he loves....

A wonderful look into Bastian's world. As if having 2 complete strangers staying with him isn't enough, add one cousin who still has to eat "off the hoof", and a dash of pre-wedding "disasters" and let the chaos reign. While some might say it's not up to par with Love Bites and Single White Vampire, you can't help but feel bad for poor accident prone C.K. and laugh at how Marguerite manages to show up right when her sons don't want her.

Review:I soooo love this series . I must have the 7th book NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..... This is the series you wish you weren't caught up on and had more availiable to read...lol
Few things in life can come between a grim reaper and her coffee, but the sexy, sultry son of Satan is one of them. Now that Reyes Farrow has asked for her hand, Charley Davidson feels it's time to learn more about his past, but Reyes is reluctant to open up. When the official FBI file of his childhood abduction lands in her lap, Charley decides to go behind her mysterious beau’s back and conduct her own investigation. Because what could go wrong?
Unfortunately, another case has fallen into her lap—one with dangerous implications. Some very insistent men want Charley to hunt down a witness who is scheduled to testify against their boss, a major player in the local crime syndicate. If Charley doesn't come up with an address in 48 hours, the people closest to her will start to disappear.
Add to that a desperate man in search of the soul he lost in a card game, a dogged mother determined to find the ghost of her son, and a beautiful, young Deaf boy haunted by his new ability to see the departed as clearly as he sees the living, and Charley has her hands full. The fact that Reyes has caught on to her latest venture only adds fuel to the inferno that he is. Good thing for Charley she's used to multi-tasking and always up for a challenge…especially when that challenge comes in the form of Reyes Farrow.

Review: When I stared this book, I about gave up on it... I found the start confusing a boring but about 1/3 in I couldn't put it down. You fall in love with the characters and want more....
Ellie is horrified to discover the pharmaceutical company she works for is doing illegal experiments. Company scientists have spliced human and animal DNA, creating exotic new species. One such “experiment” captures her heart and she’ll do anything to save him—even if he hates her for it.
Fury has never known compassion or love. He’s spent his life in a cell, chained and abused by humans. The one woman he allowed himself to trust betrayed him. Now he’s free and set on vengeance. He vows to end her life but when she’s finally in his grasp, harming her is the last thing he wants to do to the sexy little human.
Fury can’t resist Ellie—the touch of her hands, her mouth on his skin, her body wrapped around his. He’s obsessed with the scent of his woman. And Ellie wants Fury—always has. She craves his big, powerful body and wants to heal his desolate heart.
But loving Fury is one thing…taming him is another.

Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
This book has everything that makes for an exciting read and keeps the reader fully engaged: fascinating characters, superb detail, suspense and surprises that are gasp-worthy. Because it is so well-written, the reader is not merely reading about the turn of events - he/she feels that she is sharing the action with the characters.
Half way done on mine....I should be done tomorrow...

Review:This book is new addition into The Nightwalker World featuring Bodywalkers. To be become a Bodywalker you have to be dying and accept another soul to inhabit your body with you. I found this whole concept to be interesting and exciting for all of the possibilities. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Review:Finally the males of this race treat their female ,the way they deserve..... I loved this series and hate that I'm caught up in it and have to wait for the next book....
TITUS—To most his gift seems like a blessing, but for him it’s a curse the other Eternal Guardians—those who protect the mortal realm from threats of the Underworld—seek to exploit. One he would gladly trade for the chance to be free…
Obsessed. Her touch is like a drug. From the moment he met her, Titus knew she was different. Even dangerous. Yet though his guardian brethren are convinced Natasa is working for Hades, Titus can’t stop thinking about her. Can’t stop fantasizing about her. Can’t stop craving the one thing he knows could lead to the downfall of his world.
Possessed. Faced with stopping Natasa or joining in her quest, Titus falls to temptation and is thrust into a world of lust, deception, and deadly treachery designed by the gods. Her touch—only hers—frees him from his bonds, but desire may just condemn him. Because before the end he’ll have to decide which is more important: duty and honor to those he took an oath to defend, or a woman who could very well be the biggest curse to them all.

It is up and running great now--did not need new drive just return to factory format. Luckily, I had just backed up a few days ago to my external hard drive--no losses just aggravating having to reload programs, etc.
