Dragon Lover

Fire in His Blood by Ruby Dixon

March 22, 2020 by teresaelectro 3 Comments

I’m finally back at the book reviews just in time for Spring! Last year for Cannonball Read 11, I read Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians, which was a steamy hot tale of alien-human with a great mix of humor and heart. I discovered she has another set of books that involves DRAGONS!!! and picked up Fire in His Blood from the library. In the first book of the Fireblood Dragon series, we meet our main character Claudia in jail for scavenging outside the bounds of […]

Hawaii is for lovers

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

December 31, 2019 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

The Unhoneymooners was my first foray into the Christina Lauren catalog. I’m trying to become more versed in contemporary romance. In March, I visited Hawaii and this book allowed me to daydream again about island life. This book seemed like a perfect match. Olive Torres thinks she is cursed with bad luck. She is recently laid off and has moved into a small apartment. Her love life is nonexistent. Meanwhile, her sister, Amy, seems to have all the good luck. She has a knack for winning […]

Hunky blue aliens to the rescue

Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon

December 31, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Ice Planet Barbarians came highly recommended by The Ripped Bodice bookstore. The blue-skinned alien on the cover had me intrigued!  This is the first book of SEVENTEEN about a group of young women stranded on the said ice planet. Each introduces us to a different woman and a potential barbarian suitor. In this one, we meet Georgie on Earth where she is kidnapped in her sleep by some slave trading bobblehead aliens. Half the women are crowded in a cage while the other half sleep […]

New to me sci fi romance where we jump across galaxies

Grimspace by Ann Aguirre

December 31, 2019 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

I can get stuck in a paranormal romance rut, but I also love me some romance in space. Even better if there’s a twist on the enemies to lovers trope. Grimspace is the first Sirantha Jax novel from Ann Aguirre. This sci-fi romance is written from the main character’s point of view. In this part of the universe, space travel requires a pilot and a special navigator like Sirantha to fly through the wormhole-esque grimspace. Ships can jump through the galaxies with these jumpers possessing […]

What if you could weaponize memories?

The Memory Thief by Lauren Mansy

December 31, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Lauren Mansy’s The Memory Thief was the Mocha Girls Read book club read for October. I appreciate how all my book clubs push me to read stories I may not have picked on my own. I love the YA fantasy genre, so I was intrigued by the premise of using memories as power. In this world, the Gifted can take memories and weaponize them by forcing bad memories on other people. There’s an evil tyrant named Madame who enjoys wielding memories for cruel means and […]

Immortal Enemies to Fated Lovers

The Warlord Wants Forever by Kresley Cole

Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night by Kresley Cole

December 30, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I’m still working my way through Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series. I’ve read her several of her books for previous Cannonball Read challenges. The author finds a way to pair up the most interesting supernatural creatures. Many of her books deal with fated mates, but often the alpha male attempts to use fate as an excuse to skip courtship. The female rarely finds this acceptable and a sexy and dangerous chase typically ensues. For CBR11, I decided to start at the very beginning with […]
