Chasing Rain, Episode 3

From the Publisher: In episode one, Rayne realizes her affection for the man that has been her bodyguard since birth is more than just a young girl's crush. Can Blaze follow his heart, or will his moral code prevent him from pursuing what he knows is meant to be?

My Review: In this first installment of the Chasing Rain series of short stories, we meet Rayne, a young half vampire, half human. She's becoming more aware of herself, and the shifter (can change into a wolf) named Blaze that has been her bodyguard since birth. As she's dealing with her new-found feelings for Blaze, she's also starting to act a bit different. She doesn't have the patience she used to, and she's lashing out. She can't figure out why but one day, she gets her answer.

The first book touches on all the characters and a bit on their background. Also, we see the start of a coming of age story for Rayne. She has feelings that are starting to come to surface and she's needing to learn how to deal with them.

Overall, I liked it. I am looking forward to the next two books and to see where the story goes, and if Rayne and Blake end up together...I'm a sucker for a happy ending :)

Chasing Rain, Episode 2

From the Publisher: Rayne, a vampire-human hybrid, decides her eighteenth birthday is the perfect time to demand more independence from her coven and the wolf shifters hired to protect her. But no one can protect her heart from the pack's alpha, Blaze.

When a moment of passion has near lethal consequences, it only proves that water and fire don't mix.

In episode two, the relationship between Blaze and Rayne begins to mature. As things heat up, Blaze debates whether or not to reveal the secret of his people that will change everything between them.

My Review: In the second book, things start really heating up between Rayne and Blaze! It's been a month after Rayne's 18th birthday and Blaze has returned from a trip. She's really missed him and they want to spend some time together. Of course, now that she's a young woman, her parents are starting to set ground rules when it comes to boys.

But that doesn't stop what's meant to be. While Blaze and Rayne are alone, he confesses something to her that changes everything! But not long after getting this news, it might be the end of Blaze since he's been caught in a river current and Rayne might not be able to save him.

Book two is better than the first in that we get deeper into the story and get to see more of the relationship between these two characters. I liked this one better than the first, and can't wait to read the conclusion in book three.

This first book touches on all the characters and a bit on their background, but we also see the start of a coming of age story for Rayne. She has feelings that are starting to come to surface and she's needing to learn how to deal with them. However, Blaze seems like he really cares for her, but has an inner battle going on with-in as weather or not to get too close.

Overall, I liked it. It has a very strong Twilight feel to me since it has to do with shifting into wolves and a pack that protect the vampires and the compound they live in. It has a feel of it's own as well, but those things really took me back to reading the Twilight series. But, I am looking forward to the next books in this series and want to see where the story goes...and if Rayne and Blake end up together. I'm a sucker for a happy ending :)

Tweet Revenge

My Review: To curb any confusion as to why I didn't start the review out like I normally do with the "From the Publisher," it is because this book is still in the editing stages and the synopsis is not out yet! So, I was super thrilled to be able to get a sneak peak at Tweet Revenge :)

I am not familiar with this author, Rick DeMille, but he is an Amazon International Best-Selling author of HELLFIRE, so that really piqued my interest in this novel as well.

In the beginning, we are introduced to Justice. Well, that's obviously not his real name, since this person has taken it upon themselves to take "justice" into their own hands by murdering criminals that got off easy. We meet up with Justice on the brink of his third murder of a guy who never spent any hard time for killing an innocent young girl. Well, Justice won't have any of that, so off he goes to give the guy what he deserves. And, let me tell you, it was very well thought out. I won't go into detail, but let's just say Justice does his homework.

But there's another element to his killings. He tweets what he is doing as he is doing it. He wants the local police and FBI agents to know exactly what he is up to, and he wants them to know it was him. Justice truly believes what he is doing is right. But will he get away with it much longer or get caught?

We also meet Dawn Johnson. She is a young woman who has had a pretty rough life, partly due to the fact that she lost her father, who was an FBI agent, in the line of fire. But she had to get on with her life and went to school at Quantico, and on the night of her graduation was severely wounded by two men who were attempting to rob a convenient store. It was one of those "wrong place at the wrong time" kind of situations. She was shot with an assault rifle and still has the scars to prove it. But she has an agenda. She wants to find out who killed her father, so she calls in some favors and gets assigned to the branch where he was in order to have access to files and information. The only thing is, the Agent in Charge, Officer Pratt, knows she's up to something. But he can't quite figure out what. He'll be keeping an eye on her for sure. But will she slip up and get kicked off the force, or will she finally find what she is looking for as to who was behind her father's murder. To make things even more complicated for her, she'll be doing this while working on the case of the Justice killer.

The story itself was very well written, as well as the characters. Plus, it will keep you guessing as to who the killer actually is, and once it's revealed, you will be shocked. At least I was. I had NO idea! So, if you are into mysteries, then this is a great one.

Even though this book hasn't been released yet, I wanted to get the word out about it! I will update this post when I find out the release date and also post a link to purchase on Amazon once it's been released.

Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed with this book.

Morium, Book 1

From the Publisher: High school seniors, Nathan and Alexandria, are looking forward to graduation for one reason. They dream of a life without torment. Because neither one can call home a sanctuary, they face bullies and humiliation without help from their families. Nathan’s parents are absent and his empty house stokes the anger he carries within. Alexandria has always hidden her pain, especially so after losing her mother and watching her father struggle. She continues to seek familiar relief with the help of a razor blade and her arms bear witness to the quiet agony she suffers. 

The best friends have each other to lean on, but not much else. An extraordinary discovery changes everything. After holding mysterious objects that fell from the sky, the pair begins to exhibit supernatural abilities. In the beginning, Nathan uses his newfound powers for protection, but quickly becomes obsessed. In an attempt to hide his activities from an unsupportive Alexandria, he promises to stop. But he turns down a sinister path and indiscriminately absorbs souls of the undesirable, growing stronger each time. It’s a high he can’t give up. 

Alexandria desperately attempts to bury her powers and struggles with the results of her and Nathan’s actions. They are beginning to drift apart when a mutual friend, oblivious of their supernatural exploits, becomes an unwitting pawn in Nathan’s rising fixation. A series of deadly events and vivid nightmares convinces Alexandria that Nathan is keeping secrets from her. Now, an agonizing decision must be made. Will two people, who once only had each other to turn to, be forced to turn on each other? 

My Review: The first book in this trilogy is one that you will not be able to put down! It grabbed me from the beginning and I found myself making time to read this. 

Alexandria, also known as Lexi, and her best friend Nathan are high school seniors that are the center of attention when it comes to being bullied. There's just no getting around it for these two and they encounter it everyday and dream of the day when it will stop. 

Their wish seems to come true one night when they see a strange green streak in the sky and go to investigate, only to find glowing rocks. They both pick one up and it instantly dissolves in their hand. 

Not thinking anything of it, they brush off the debris and head home. That night, and over the course of the next week, their bodies undergo a dramatic change.

When they return to school the following week, they have a heightened sense of, well, everything. But that's not all. Experimenting with his new found powers, Nathan learns he can levitate, use "energy" to grab things that are across the room and bring them to him, among other things. 

The only problem is that Nathan wants to get in touch with his powers, while Lexi doesn't want anything to do with them. This causes a bit of a problem between the two, and ultimately will come to a head at some point. But, one night when one of the bullies threatens Lexi, Nathan looses it and does something that will decide his destiny. And once on that path, there is no turning back. 

The story goes on and we encounter the lives of two people who used to be so close, but drift further apart. One good, one bad. But how far will it go before one of them gets hurt? You have to get the book to find out! 

I have to say I really enjoyed this book! I usually don't comment on characters, but I liked how Hermann presented them, and how easy it was from the beginning to relate to them. It was written in such a way too, that the story kept you intrigued as to what was going to happen next, and how it would all pan out. Even though the story centers around 18 year old teenagers, that didn't seem to matter since the story line was so interesting and a bit unique. So don't let that scare you away :) 

*I do want to point out that there were some punctuation and grammatical errors. Also, there were spots where it was a bit wordy, but overall it didn't make me want to stop reading. 

I can't wait to read the other two books in this trilogy and once I do, I'll definitely put my review up!

Filthy For The Night, Book III

From the Publisher: The steaming novella ‘Filthy for the Night’ is book three of the ‘For the Night’ series of eight standalone short reads, which fall into Amazon’s new quick hot erotic reads category. The series contains adult themes ~ Suitable only for the over 18’s.

My next client is Yasmin Taylor, a footballer’s wife who was bored of the constant lonely nights while he was on tour. She’s a regular of mine, booking me at least once a quarter. Due to her husband’s high profile in the media, he didn’t dare offer her the sort of kink that really got her off. Enter Logan Steele. I was more than man enough to accept that challenge, but given our last few encounters, when her brief specified that she wanted real filth for the night, I had to wrack my brain to come up with something new, something to raise the bar even higher. Something that hopefully wouldn’t land either of us in a jail cell for the night, or snapped mid-act by a member of the paparazzi.

My Review: In this installment, "filthy" is the perfect word to describe what goes on in this book! I have to say, there were times I wanted to take a break and jump a shower ;) Having said that, I loved it! C.J. Fallowfield has done it again when it comes to giving her readers a steamy sex story.

This one heats up as one of Logan's regular clients, Yasmin has booked one of her quarterly nights. Only this time, she wants it even hotter than before. She spells out exactly what she wants, and Logan has to deliver. He has a reputation to uphold, after all. He sets up a night of sex for Yasmin that had me blushing at times. She wanted to be treated like a dirty whore, and that's exactly what she gets!

However, during the course of the night Logan finds himself being turned off by things that at one time would have had his manhood hard as a rock. Is it because just the week before he had one of the most memorable clients he's ever had? Is it because he's thinking about Summer and wanting to feel her beneath him again, and show her just how much he cares for her?

Will Logan finally realize that there is somebody out there that can care for him, the real him, and not the person he is trying to portray? I sure hope so!! I'm such a sucker for a love story that I'm rooting for Logan and Summer :)

Having said all of that, I really did like this book and can't wait to read that rest of the books in this series!

Filthy For The Night is due to be released December 12, 2014! So be sure to mark your calendar and come back to purchase on Amazon!

Virgin For The Night, Book II

From the Publisher: The steaming novella ‘Virgin for the Night’ is number two in the ‘For the Night’ series of eight standalone short reads, which fall into Amazon’s new quick hot erotic reads category. The series contains adult themes ~ Suitable only for the over 18’s.

My next client is aspiring actress Summer Beresford, whose brief for the evening is that she wants to be treated as if she’s a virgin, to be seduced and wooed. I’d already felt conflicted when I’d received her booking form detailing her scenario, as a rule I didn’t do tender gentle love making, women booked me because of my reputation for f*****g, hard. To compound my dilemma, I couldn’t stop looking at her damn photograph and had even used an image of her in my mind to get hard and come with another client. Not only was that highly unprofessional of me, it was potentially hazardous to my reputation in case I groaned the wrong woman’s name. I was already treading that very fine line between professional and personal. Before I’d even met the damn woman she had me breaking one of my cardinal rules, Never get emotionally attached to one of your clients. The more I looked at her photo though, the more I wanted her.

My Review: The second book in the For The Night series continues with Logan fulfilling a clients wish. Only this time, it's an actress asking Logan to show her how to make love for the first time due to her being cast in a very sexual film. He's a bit puzzled by this, but figures it's a role he's been asked to play, seeing how the women he's "serviced" in the past are all very experienced.

However, once he meets Summer, he realizes that she's an actual virgin and she has heard of his services and wants him to take her virginity before filming begins. That way, she'll at least look like she knows what she's doing.

He's amazed that she's a virgin given that she is so beautiful and sweet. He can't wrap his head around the fact that she hasn't been with a man yet. But he's more than happy to oblige, since he hasn't been able to take his eyes off of her picture for the past week, or stop thinking about her even when he's been with other clients. That in itself worries him, since one of his stipulations for himself is to not get emotionally involved with a client.

The night he is about to experience with Summer will not only open her eyes, but also his. The only question is, will it be enough for Logan to realize that there is somebody out there for him and sex with someone can be more than playing a fantasy? You have to get the book to find out!!

Virgin For The Night will be released November 14, 2014 so mark your calendars and come back to purchase on Amazon!!

Strangers For The Night, Book I

From the Publisher: My name is Logan Steele. I’m devilishly handsome, seriously ripped, well hung, charismatic and highly sexed. Women just can’t resist me. So when I lost my job in the construction industry and was struggling for cash, I decided to put my assets to good use.

By day I’m a private personal fitness trainer. By night I’m a high class gigolo.

Strangers for the Night’ is Camilla Domville's idea of the perfect fantasy. Meeting a hot guy in a bar and going back to his hotel room for a night of unbridled passion, that’s if they even make it to the hotel room before Logan seduces her. Downright raunchy, saucy and hot, Logan's sexcapade with Camilla threatens to be his last, as she's set her sights on him and is determined to be his one and only client moving forwards. But Logan's main mantra is “Never get emotionally attached to your client.”

My Review: Fallowfield has done it again with her eight book For the Night series of short reads. In the first installment, Strangers For The Night, Logan is a devilishly handsome guy, who is putting his good looks to use by offering women one night fantasies. He makes good money and has many returning clients. Since his services are word of mouth, he also has a good number of first time clients as well. This is where Camilla Domville enters the picture.

She is a young, spoiled rich girl who uses Daddy's money to get whatever she wants. And for her birthday, she wants a night with Logan Steele. But since she's used to getting whatever she wants, whenever she wants it, she has devised a plan to end Logan's career so she can keep him for herself. Will her plan work, or will Logan outsmart her? You need to get the book to find out!
