Review:
In my opinion the book “Kitty and the Midnight Hour“ is one of the fantasy books that I found really boring and not interesting.
Kitty is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station. She is a punch bag for her pack and the only place she is confident is on her show, where she give advises about supernatural.

Review
Cole lives with a group of friends he considers family. He has a crush on Ian, the boss of one of his house mates Problem his is friend as said he loves his boss. Tragedy strikes and the friends are shocked. Cole reaches for Ian.
This was okay. Ian and Cole were likeable enough but I was more interested in Marc and Tomas. This was missing something for me. I may read the next one although I can't say I am overly interested in Andrew and Owen, I want Marc and Thomas or River's stories

Review: I was really surprised by this book. A woman is missing and Lola (a reporter) is trying to find out what happened to her. She goes to a BDSM club where she was last seen and ends up agreeing to spend 30 days with the owner to investigate what might have happened. There are a couple of good twists and turns and it ends in a CH, so I went right on the next book...Hot sex scenes.

Review: I really enjoyed this book. Warning: It is dark, very dark in some places. Silver wakes up after being kidnapped to 3 men beating her and almost raping her. Kirk steps in and takes her for his slave. She spends a lot of time trying to escape. I will definitely be reading the next book.

Review
Sam leaves behind his old life to start again. He takes a job as a cop in a small town. He meets cook Rey at the local diner and the two start an odd relationship.
This is a decent read with interesting characters, some things are just dragged out too much and there are parts of the plot I found ridiculous. It is a bit slow in parts but I did like it and I am interested in reading the next in the series.
And, we're finished! Great work, Team...

Review
Sam and Robert are back 7 years on and living openly together. Sam is working as a teacher and Robert is the Fire Chief. Sam is having a harder time of it and he has a horrible boss making his life difficult. I still like the two of them together and there are some interesting side characters.
Thankfully Sam is more mature now although it was still hard to find the plot between the sex scenes. I loved that they got married, they are very sweet together.

Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts (Bride Quartet #2) - 369 pgs
Karen! I was thinking about reading this exact book! But decided to read it some other time.
I read the first one and loved it. I read a lot of dark and erotica, so this series is such a nice change. I'm trying to read all of Nora Roberts books. I really love them.

Katherine, I love the Crossfire series...
So far I like Crossfire series then Fifty Shades series, even thought these books kind of similar.
Katherine wrote: "So far I like Crossfire series then Fifty Shades series, even thought these books kind of similar."I like Crossfire better too. I think the final book (#5) is out in April.
I liked Crossfire better too but then I thought 50 shades was a pile of badly written tripe lol Saying that I have only read the first 3 I have book 4 just haven't read it yet, maybe if we hit something with a 4 :)

Review:
Gideon and Eva is a complex couple. Even thought Eva and Gideon have a connection, sexy chemistry, but they have many problems. They get jealous, they fight, and then they make up. But the biggest one is that Gideon is keeping secrets from Eva.
I am angry at myself that I took so long to read this book and that as soon as I can I will read the next one!

Review: Book 2 in the Bride Quartet series. Jack is an architect, Emma, a floral arranger for the wedding planning business she and her friends run. She's known Jack for over 10 years as a friend and they finally get together. There is a bit of angst in this one but it is a really good contemporary romance. Love this series.

Review:Katy Tolson is never far from her cellphone which earns her much ribbing from her friends about her dependence on the device. Katy's best friend Isabelle Rochon met and fell in love with a man in the past leaving Katy to question whether she is really in love with her fiance Preston. When Katy is flung back into the past 700 years she comes face to face with a man that stirs her passions and desire. Sir Robert Beuoc is trying to regain his family's honor and lands back from the English King. Robert doesn't have time for a woman much less one that can't speak his language. Will either of them admit their feelings for each other?

Review
When Jamie's parents sold Sapphire Cay to Dylan in the first book the made a provision to allow Jamie to come back to to the Island. In this book Jamie has left the Marines due to injuries he suffered in Afghanistan and he is hoping time on the Island will help him recover. Here he meets busy wedding planner Edward.
The two clash at first but they do get together. This is sweet angst free story with likeable characters. It was nice to see Dylan and Logan again too. I will read on with the series.

Review:
Kara Gillian is a detective by day and she summons daemons by night.
The story begins, when Kara summons a daemon first time after the accident, where she died and come back to life.
The story is interesting and I was intrigued who or what killed the (wo)men.
