Sexy Witches in Seattle

Heart of Darkness by Lauren Dane

by Leave a Comment

The cover of Lauren Dane’s Heart of Darkness drew me in at The Ripped Bodice. Upon discovery that it was a witch paranormal romance, I was SOLD. With my access to bookstores limited, I’ve started to read more books from my shelf. As this is book one of the Bound by Magick series, I’m reviewing for the CBR12 “Fresh Start” bingo square. Meriel Owen is a badass lawyer, lover of pencil skirts, and sexy as hell red-headed witch living in Seattle. In this universe, witches […]

I wish this had been longer and more fleshed out. #CBRBingo – Cannonballer Says

Spellbound (Magic in Manhattan, #1) by Allie Therin

by 2 Comments

This was a solid first novel, and a good start to this fantasy/romance series. This is paranormal/fantasy romance set in 1925, where some people have paranormal powers but most don’t, and magic is a well kept secret. Our main characters are Rory Brodigan, a scryer, who can see the history of any object, and Arthur Kenzie, a politician’s son who fought in WWI, and who uses his wealth to employ paranormals to keep the world safe. Rory is caught up in their net when a […]

Love Conquers the Mind

Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh

Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh

Caressed by Ice by Nalini Singh

I know I’m late to the party, but I’m so here for any books written by Nalini Singh. I’ve been meaning to read her work for years. Last year for Cannonball Read 11, I got hooked with a novella in the Burning Up anthology. I started reviewing the Guild Hunter series with Angels’ Blood but had my eye on the Psy-Changeling books the whole time. When the new year rolled around, I knew it was time and devoured the first three books in the series.   […]

Fated mates with dark needs and desires

Dark Needs at Night's Edge by Kresley Cole

Dark Desires After Dusk by Kresley Cole

Kiss of a Demon King by Kresley Cole

I keep trucking along with the Immortals After Dark novels where Kresley Cole pairs supernatural fated mates. The paranormal universe continues to expand with books 5, 6 and 7 focusing on new characters who were hinted at in previous books. Picking up with the next book in line, Dark Needs at Night’s Edge takes us back to New Orleans to meet Conrad Wroth, the long-lost vampire brother to Sebastian and Nikolai who we meet in the previous books. Conrad is deranged from drinking the blood […]

Dragon Lover

Fire in His Blood by Ruby Dixon

by 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 […]
