BOOK GIVEAWAY & Toni's Review of Sevin by Elizabeth Amber ***4 Stars***


 



Lord Sevin Satyr indulges freely in the delights of the flesh within his infamous Salone di Passione, the talk of 1880s Rome. Surely the Humans who would deny his kind their pleasures can be persuaded to share them in a new Salone he plans just for them—above all, the beautiful Alexa Patrizzi. Fiery and spirited, she is made for sin…

Sevin’s younger brother Lucien possesses powers he cannot control. Held in the Roman catacombs as a sex slave until he was eighteen, he finds refuge in the ElseWorld—and sexual healing in the arms of Natalia, a maenad, who thinks Luc too beautiful, too young for her. But when his mirrored eyes heat to molten silver at her touch, she can only love him more…


************************************

I can officially say that Ms. Amber is consistent!  Sevin is panty melting hot, but she followed her pattern that she started with the first set of satyr men (books 1-4), ending a series quickly and abruptly, but in a good yet frustrating way.

Sevin is the brother that was always left behind.  Many years ago, his parents died and he also lost his three brothers.  Left alone at a very young age, he wondered and tries to understand his existence.  Too young to understand his heritage, his coming of age had dire consequences that marked him for life.  Now all his brothers are home, but his brother Lucien is broken and Sevin is determined to be there for him; even if that means he has to remove the one woman that makes his blood burn.

Alexa Patrizzi has nothing.  She lost her mother and brother months ago, but after what she learned about them, she is not so sure if that is such a bad thing.  She runs to Venice to escape their evil doings and has now returned to her home in Rome.  Alone and scared, she is barely holding on.  To protect Lucien, Sevin Satyr wants her gone from Rome, but she has nowhere else to go.

Their attraction is almost visual, but after the pain that her family set upon Lucien, Sevin can’t pursue Alexa.  He needs to get rid of her and fast.  Fate has other plans.  These three people are thrown together, forced to endure.  One night will change everyone and everything.

Lucien is more confused than ever.  His hatred for the Patrizzi family has fueled him and now revenge is out of his grasp, but there are more pressing matters at hand.  A new travel embargo has just cut off the Satyr Lords from their supply of life saving grapes.  Not to mention the arrival of a fountain has a strange but strong pull on Lucien.  One touch and he is gone.

Natalia is oddly attracted to the godlike statue.  She doesn’t dare to look or even touch it.  The beautiful statue suddenly appeared at the temple over a decade ago and has been worshipped and revered ever since; seen as the savior to save their dying lands.  WHO WAKETH HIM, SHALL SAVE OUR LAND.  One stumble and touch later and Natalia has given her people hope, but she has also sealed her fate. 

Lucien wakes to find a beautifully alluring woman pleasuring him.  She is touching him, but for someone who despises to be touched it is a strange yet wondrous experience.  He doesn’t trust these feelings though.  Now after years of torment he is a prisoner yet again and is forced to comply with his captors, but he senses his last remaining enemy nearby.  Lucien will get his revenge if it is the last thing he does.

Forced together, they find comfort.  Can her training as a healer save Lucien?  Can he get past his fears and allow love into his heart?  These two broken people need each other and together they can find happiness.  Can Lucien return to his brothers and save them before the next full moon?

These two short stories blend beautifully together.  They flowed seamlessly from one to the other.  All-in-all I’m satisfied with Sevin.  Would I have wanted longer more detailed stories for these two brothers?  Yes.  Would I have missed out on their stories?  No.  I have mixed feelings about this novel. 

Are you confused yet?  Well if you read the about the Tuscan Satyr’s you would be up-to-date, but not to worry, I’ll see what I can do.  Ms. Amber has written seven books of the Satyr Lords and her seventh book is smartly titled Sevin.  Books 1-4 are about the Tuscan clan set approximately 60 years prior to the Roman clan.  The first four books do not need to be read to enjoy books 5-7, but Ms. Amber has written an amazing world so I personally wouldn't want to miss out on them. 

Her consistency that I mentioned earlier is this; she wrote full novels for the first of the brothers, but for some reason she has ended the sub-series by combining the last of the clan into one final book.  So book four had two characters short stories and so did Sevin, book seven. 

Book four titled Dominic, also contained Vince’s story.  These characters really could have held their own novels, but their short stories were still very enjoyable reads.  This can be said for Sevin too.  Sevin and Lucien are two brothers I really wanted full novels written about.  I did not expect their books to be combined and because of that, I am disappointed.  Being titled Sevin, I truly expected it to be solely his own.  Both of these men didn’t deserve to be swept under the rug and be quickly wrapped up.

Even though Ms. Amber did combine their stories, their short stories are still very good.  They do feel rushed, but they are filled with love, lust and suspense.  These are well written books that really need to be enjoyed.  The Satyr Lords are amazing virile men with lots of love to give.  I enjoy Ms. Amber’s world building, her characters are amazing and the storytelling is fantastic.  These novels are not for the timid at heart though.  The Aphrodisia line of Kensington is very erotic and explicit, so be prepared for many steamy sex scenes that will leave you breathless with your heart pounding.  I love these novels and I hope Ms. Amber continues to enchant us with many more tantalizing satyr men.

Toni's Review of The Belle Stalker by Minnette Meador ***5 Stars***




For a year, Belle Stark has struggled to conquer fears plaguing her since being attacked by a maniac, who continues to roam free, and the murder of her father. And she nearly succeeds, until she discovers her lover’s murdered body spread over the furniture, making Belle a prime suspect. Certain her attacker is to blame, she seeks help from her ex-husband, homicide detective Mike Cranston, the one person she swore she would never let back into her life or heart.

In their hunt for answers, the two uncover more than a lunatic: a supernatural underworld hidden beneath the tall skyscrapers of the city and a secret that could kill them both. Faced with a terrible choice, Belle surrenders herself into the hands of a monster, and Mike must solve an ancient mystery before it’s too late to save her...






********************************

This is one story that surprised the heck outta me!  I knew the bad guy was bad and there was going to be thrilling suspense, but I didn’t see this story coming!

Belle once lived a quiet life.  She is a divorced woman who enjoys teaching and waiting for her next expedition.  One year ago, her quiet existence changed.  Now she is constantly looking over her shoulder and it’s about to get worse.

Mike Cranston went from being a homicide detective to the quiet life.  He now works in community service for the department.  He may be bored, but he was burned out and needed a break.  His ex-partner has returned and now wants Mike’s help on a case.  This case will turn his world upside down and show him things he never expected.  It will also put him back into the path of the only person he has ever loved.  He lost her once because of his job, now his job experience might be the only to save her.

I normally don’t talk about the bad guy, but this one is the corner of this twisted love triangle.  Is Tequelin good, evil or just plain crazy?  There are points in the book is one and all.  He wants what he wants and he wants Belle.  With an army at his disposal, he will get what he wants.  Now he just needs to control her or he may end up killing her.  After two thousand years, Tequelin will finally have what he desires.  During his long wait he has changed from what he once was into something to be feared and loathed.  

Portland is under siege and Belle just may be the catalyst.  One misguided move on her part and she herself will be changed forever.  Mike is back in her life, but to protect him, she must sacrifice her happiness and possibly her life, to keep him alive.

The suspense starts from the very first page and doesn’t let go.  The Belle Stalker storyline only is a few days in length but they are several days I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.  I had nagging questions along the way, but they were all answered and I wasn’t left wanting.  I was shocked, satisfied and very pleased with this story.  My only regret is that I didn’t read this sooner.  

The love story is very prevalent in the plot but not in your face, so you really cannot call this a romance novel.  This is more of a paranormal thriller.  The evil that Tequelin commits is can be graphic at times and Ms. Meader doesn’t hold back and sugarcoat it.  Her plot is solid and she kept me captivated with her storytelling.  I can’t say this is a pleasant read at times, so don’t go into it expecting that.  The blood is real, the action is intense and circumstances of Belles fate are horrid.  I will say this with 100% certainty though; The Belle Stalker is one kick ass story that will knock you on your butt.  Consider yourself warned!

Toni's Review of His Dark Embrace by Amanda Ashley ***3.5 Stars***




A VAMPIRE’S KISS. A WOMAN’S SURRENDER.


Tall, dark, mysterious—and with a faint scar on his cheek that only makes him more gorgeous—Kaiden Thorne is one schoolgirl obsession Skylynn never forgot. Now, returning to her childhood home after eight years, she can’t believe her reclusive neighbor is still living across the street—and hotter than ever. Skylynn doesn't know how Kaiden manages to stay so young, virile, and impossibly attractive. But she knows she wants him…even if he harbors a fearful secret he refuses to tell her.

When Kaiden sees the beautiful young woman Skylynn has become, he can no longer control the bloodlust that is his true nature. Once he pulls Skylynn into his arms, presses his lips against hers—and accidentally draws blood—he longs for more. Only she possesses what he wants and what he needs. Only she can save him or destroy him. But once Skylynn agrees to help Kaiden battle his darkest desires, there is no turning back…


*****************************

Skylynn knows pain and she is living it again right now. 

She lost her parents at a very young age, but she had the love of her grandparents to comfort her.  Then she lost her grandmother, but her grandfather was there for her, her touchstone.  Life has been good up until a few months ago.  Now her beloved brother is missing in action in Iraq and she just buried her grandfather.  Her life is at a crossroads.  Does she go back to her life in Chicago or stay at her grandfather’s home and start a new life?  Well for the time being she has a bit of time.

Kaiden Thorne has lived on the outside of his neighbor’s life for years.  Watching Paddy’s grandchildren grow up has been a calming and an amazing experience.  Through the years he grew very close to Paddy and they have had a very beneficial relationship.  Kaiden may have left Vista Verde years ago, but he never lost contact with Paddy and he secretly watched over his granddaughter.  Now Skylynn is all grown up and his feelings for her have grown all the more personal.  But that isn’t the only thing he needs from her.  She is now the keeper of Paddy’s secret; a secret that very well could ruin Kaiden and Skylynn’s forever.

Skylynn has always had a secret crush on Kaiden and Kaiden has developed a burning lust for her.  Circumstances have propelled these two together and things are about to get steamy.  There is nothing in the way for them now, except Kaiden’s hunger; a hunger so primal that it could killer her.  But there may be something else in their way…an old enemy that has been lurking around the O’Brien house unbeknown to Kaiden.  This is a man that will do anything to get his revenge on Kaiden, even turn his back on all he has ever known.

His Dark Embrace is a lovely sweet story.  It is well balanced and I truly enjoyed it.  The vampire lore in the story is pretty standard, but with a very nice twist.  Intimate relations are very much behind closed doors. So if you like your romances with a little more love action, this book is not for you.  But if you are familiar with Ms. Ashley’s writing you will already know that she writes sweet sensual romances not steamy hot burn your fingers type. 

His Dark Embrace has a good plot with emotion, sensuality and intensity.  Her character development is on the light side, but getting into their mind set is not hard.  This is a very enjoyable read that kept me engaged but not gripped.  I would recommend His Dark Embrace for a quiet evening when you just want to relax, lose yourself in a book and get away from the overly sexed novels out there.  While this might not be a bodice ripper, it is still a lovely escape.

Thanks for reading - Toni

5 Stars for Sevin by Elizabeth Amber, an amazing series

I've been follow the Satyr series for a few years and I am quite addicted to the world that Elizabeth Amber has created. 
For those of you that don't know, this series is a paranormal Erotica series featuring 2 Satyr clans. 
The first clan is based in the 1820's. The Tuscany Clan features Nicholas, Raine, Lyon, & Dominic.
The second clan is based in the 1880's. The Rome Clan features Dane, Bastian, & Sevin. 

A little history about the Satyr clans. They are from the Otherworld and during the full moon every month they are forced to fornicate/mate with someone else or shimmerskins (beings that the Satyr's can create to fornicate with on those special nights). They have two penises on calling night and after the first time of coming, the 2nd one will disappear. They are descended from Bacchus, the God of Wine and Lust, hence the fortification. Elizabeth creates an amazingly realistic historical world with mystical creatures that we don't get to see a lot of. If you haven't read the other books I suggest you read them before starting Sevin. 



                The following is the 1820's Tuscany Clan







                       The next in the series is the 1880's Rome Clan







Sevin is basically two stories. We get Sevin and his story with Alexa. Then we get Lucien with Natalia. This was a bit different because normally each Satyr normally gets his own book, although I will admit that Lord Sevin got probably 2/3rd's of the book and Lucien was a much shorter story near the end. Both were great though.


Lord Sevin Satyr owns the Salone Di Passione, which is basically a place where others who are from ElseWorld can come here on full moon nights to fornicate freely and in safety. Alexa Patrizzi is friends with Eva (who is Danes wife). 


On the night of the full moon Eva is dropped off at the club to meet her husband Dane and Alexa is in her carriage. The problem is Alexa's family tortured and kept Lucien for many years as a sex slave so Lucien absolutely hates her, though Lord Sevin is completely attracted to her. He believes along with Lucien that the Patrizzi family is their enemy and although all her family is dead except Alexa, they still believe her to be their enemy. The problem is did she have anything to do with keeping Lucien locked up? 


Lord Sevin basically tells Alexa that if she stays in town, one of these fornication nights they are going to meet and have a passion filled night. They are both attracted to one another but Alexa claims she had nothing to do with what her family did and Sevin doesn't believe her. They are at an impasse. 


Sevin has been staying with his brother Lucien since his release to make sure that he fornicates on full moon nights. It might just seem like sex to some but if the Satyrs do not fornicate on a full moon night, they will die. So since Lucien was kept as basically a sex slave and abhors any touch, Sevin stays with him on those nights to make sure he takes care of himself.  

One this special night Sevin and Lucien are in the club and Lucien somehow manages to transport himself to these catacombs under Alexa's house. Sevin grabbed him as it was happening and they both disappeared. They took awhile to figure out where they had ended up and Alexa ends up showing up as well. She's not sure of the way out since her family only showed her the entrance to the catacombs when they told her what they did and what they expected of her. She's by herself in the house when someone breaks in so she runs to the only place she knows she can hide, she might not get back out though.

Sevin is determined to have Lucien and himself sleep with her to survive but Lucien is extremely reluctant so Sevin promises with his gift to fetter out secrets of the mind and heart that he will tell him if Alexa had anything to do with what happened to him. Lucien agrees and Sevin proceeds to seduce her and they both end up spending a very passionate night with her. Alexa is sad and she offers her body to Lucien as payment for her family's crimes against him...... Needless to say there is some background plot going on from someone in Alexa's past. There is a lot to get through between Lucien and Alexa's past. 


We jump to Lucien who basically goes back through time and space to heal. He doesn't know it at the time but he turns into a statue in ElseWorld and he's gone for a really long time. Natalia who teaches at one of the schools somehow manages to crack his statue while trying to save her sisters butt for being out of bed at the Academy. There's some definite evil going on in Lucien's story. Not just with Lucien but with Natalia and the Academy they are at. The statue is at this academy with a sign that basically whoever wakes the statue shall save them all. Its a very intriguing plot considering Lucien's story is so much shorter than Sevins. Very meaningful and I loved reading about both Sevin and Lucien. 


If you like paranormal historical erotica you will really enjoy Elizabeth Amber's Satyr series. She creates believable worlds with spectacular characters who are just like us, they want to laugh, love, and be loved in return. The brothers in each series have an amazing bond with one another and you get the sense of family with each of her stories. She's one of my favorite authors and I really enjoy the historical twists that come with the paranormal, and of course the sex is scorching hot. Give her a try!

Toni's Review of A Man Worth Fighting For by Sara Daniel ***5 Stars***




 Buy your copy at:

 He has nothing left to offer. She's determined to show him just how much he's worth.


Shot by a member of his military team, Justin Lawson retreats to the Wiccan Haus. Holly Walters refuses to accept her boyfriend's out-of-the-blue rejection without an explanation, even if getting the answers forces her to be trapped on a bizarre island for an entire week. She's going to use every minute to work Justin out of her system once and for all. Justin's body and spirit begin to heal under Holly's loving ministrations. As she talks about never seeing each other again, he realizes he never wants to let her go. But the rogue assassin who had gone after Justin before is after him again. Before he can fight to make Holly believe in their love, he'll have to fight for both their lives.


Something Wiccan this Way Comes.


Let’s see, what qualities did A Man Worth Fighting For have…stupid man logic, magic, angst, sex, paranormals, suspense, action, more sex and surprisingly humans?!?!

A Man Worth Fighting For is book two in the Wiccan Haus collection.  These are great short stories revolving around the Wiccan Haus Resort and Spa located off the coast of Maine.  It is a special place for paranormals and humans alike; a place to go for spiritual and emotional healing. 

This I just the kind of place that Justin needs after being shot and almost killed by one of his own team members.  His career is over.  His knee is permanently damaged and he now has to give up being a soldier.  It was all he had and ever wanted.  Since his career is over, he also decides to kill his relationship with his girlfriend Holly.  He doesn’t want to burden her with having to take care of him.  He has nothing to offer her, so he cuts her lose one of the most cowardly ways possible.

Holly can’t believe it…Justin is a coward!  She can’t accept his breakup and is determined to hunt him down and have him explain his lame actions.  She never expected to find him at a spa.  Justin is a big strong manly military man and he is at a spa for spiritual and emotional healing, WHAT?  Well by her calculations their conversation won’t take long, so off she goes to close this chapter of her life.

Neither expected the circumstances of their meeting.  Justin was shocked and immediately went into protective mode and Holly was reminded just how much she cared about this frustrating man.  They have a week to determine what they are going to do.  Each must work through their inner problems and discover what is best for them.  It’s really too bad that the interfering staff of Wiccan Haus won’t leave well enough alone.

Can you believe it?  A Man Worth Fighting For is set at a primarily paranormal resort, ran by paranormals and the story is about two humans.  I LOVED IT!!  What a different twist.  Yes, Justin knows about paranormals.  In fact, he protects the rest of us by taking out paranormal rogues, but at the end of the day he is human and a damaged one at that.  I never saw this twist coming…oops…I hope I didn’t ruin it for you.

Oh don’t let my little slip stop you from enjoying this great little treat.  The couple is fun to read about, they have some great hot (and wet) sex and even the meddlesome staff is entertaining.  You even get a little suspense and action thrown in.  Ms. Daniels packaged this plot well and I immediately loved both Justin and Holly.  There was just the right amount of everything in this book.  It was all well balanced and believable.  Editing was spot on, continuity was solid and the whole short story was just wonderful.  What more could you want from a mini vacation?

Thanks for reading - Toni

“Evil is a completely different creature, Mac. Evil is bad that believes it’s good.”

MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina, were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever. 

Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister’s murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals who have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.

What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh—a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King, containing the power to create and destroy worlds.

In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.
Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman haunting her dreams? More important, who is Mac herself and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?

From the luxury of the Lord Master’s penthouse to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac’s journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and to make a choice that will either save the world . . . or destroy it.

Immortals After Dark Series
by Kresley Cole



Introduction to the Immortals After Dark

Every creature or being that was thought to be mythical . . . isn’t.

They all secretly exist alongside humans and enjoy the gift of immortality. There are hundreds of different kinds: from Vampires to Lykae, from Furies to Shifters, from the Fey to Valkyries.

These immortals call their world The Lore.

You may have had a brush with one of Lorekind already. The eccentric billionaire with hypnotic charisma—and an aversion to sunlight. The ethereal waif of impossible beauty—whose fingernails look more like claws. The Highlander with a seventeenth-century Scottish accent and animal magnetism—who can never be penciled in on the night of the full moon.

They walk among us, but they war among themselves. Each faction has its strengths, weaknesses, and age old prejudices against the others. Every five hundred years, the Accession, a battle for supremacy, rages. That time is now. . . .












Kresley Cole is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the electrifying Immortals After Dark paranormal series, as well as five award-winning historical romances.

Before becoming a writer, Cole was a world-ranked athlete, coach, and graduate student. She has traveled over much of the world and draws from those experiences to create her memorable characters and settings. Two of her favorite places to visit include the rain forests of Central America and the Far North Queensland area of Australia (where, by the way, she would not recommend swimming outside of the stinger nets--at night).

Cole’s trademark action, sensuality, and humor are best exemplified in herImmortals After Dark Series, which revolves around the Lore, a secret stratum of hundreds of immortal creatures--ranging from Vampires to Lykae, Furies to Shifters, and Fey to Valkyrie--that each have their strengths, weaknesses, and age old prejudices against the others. Though they secretly live among humans, they constantly war among themselves, which gives her a lot of material.

Her IAD books have been translated into seventeen foreign languages, garnered two RITA awards, and consistently appear on the bestseller lists, in the U.S. and abroad.

Cole lives in Florida with her family and “far too many animals.” She spends any free time traveling and enjoys all things related to boats and water.

Karen Marie Moning (rhymes with 'awning') is the # 1 New York Times bestselling author of 12 novels, including the Rita-award winning Highlander novels and the internationally bestselling urban fantasy Fever series. Her books have been published in 21 languages, and her events draw fans from all over the world.
