Tamie and Elena review: Reckless by S.C. Stephens

The synopsis: 

When the band hits it big, Kiera and Kellan must ask themselves: Can their love for each other survive the constant pressures of superstardom? The friendships they’ve formed, the new family they’ve found, and the history they’ve forged will all play a part in helping them navigate the turbulent waters of the band’s exploding popularity. A greedy executive hell-bent on success, a declining pop star looking for an edge, and a media circus that twists lies into truths are just some of the obstacles the lovers will have to overcome if they are going to remain together. Fame comes with a price-but will it cost Kiera and Kellan everything?

Review: The Accidental Vampire by Lynsay Sands

  Ever since an accident turned her into a knockout vamp, Elvi Black’s been catching her z’s in a coffin, staying out of the sun, and giving up garlic. She knows there’s more to being undead than what she saw in Dracula, but she can’t very well ask her mortal friends about proper biting etiquette. But when her neighbors placed a personal ad for her in the local paper, she never imagined she’d meet Victor Argeneau, a vampire who could have his pick of any woman, dead or alive.

Rich, powerful, and drop—dead gorgeous, Victor’s the perfect man for a novice neck—biter like Elvi. He’s willing to teach her everything he knows, but he’ll have to do it fast. Someone’s out to put a stake through her new vamp life, and only Victor can keep her safe and satisfied for all eternity.

This book is seventh in the Argeneau series, but Ms. Sands has been kind enough to write each book as a stand alone. There are reoccurring characters but you do not need to read entire series, or even in order, to get what’s going on. Of all of the books I read in this series, this one stood out for me. Find out why, after the jump.

Review: Covet by J.R. Ward

  Redemption isn’t a word Jim Heron knows much about—his specialty is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charge with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins. And failure is not an option. Vin DiPietro long ago sold his soul to his business, and he’s good with that — until fate intervenes in the form of a tough- talking, Harley-riding, self-professed savior. But then he meets a woman who will make him question his destiny, his sanity, and his heart—and he has to work with a fallen angel to win her over and redeem his own soul.

Review: Father Mine and The BDB Insider’s Guide by J.R. Ward

  Readers met and fell in love with Zsadist and Bella in J. R. Ward-s third New York Times bestselling novel in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, Lover Awakened. As a former blood slave, Zsadist bore the scars from a past filled with suffering and degradation until Bella came along and helped heal his emotional wounds. Now, though, with the birth of their child, the demons of his past have been resurrected, called forth by the innocent eyes of his beloved daughter, Nalla.  Unless Bella and Nalla can bring him back with their love, he may be lost to them forever. 

I will admit upfront, I was a bad fangirl. I love this series, but I will admit that I didn’t read the Insider’s Guide that included Father Mine until just recently. Now I’m kicking myself for not having read it earlier. For a short story, this one sure does pack an emotional punch. If you’ve read the other books in the series, you know that thems is big words….Ward is a brilliant marketer for Kleenex. I don’t think I’ve read one of her books and didn’t need a tissue at some point. This one had me reaching for a handful. Find out why, after the jump…

Review: Heart of Steel by New York Times Best Selling Author: Jennifer Probst

Logan Grant knew he was in trouble the moment Chandler Santell walked into his office. He agrees to her crazy deal only when she risks all and guarantees him a profit. Behind the scenes a dangerous game of love, power and greed begin to play out-a game Chandler knows nothing about. The payoff is worth millions to the man who can win Chandler’s heart.

Chandler Santell avoids men – especially the rich and powerful ones who believe more in money than people. Desperate to save her struggling Yoga & Arts Center, her last hope is the most powerful man in the finance industry, a man reputed to have a “Heart of Steel.”

I was introduced to Jennifer Probst’s books when I read “The Marriage Bargain” (  if you’re interested you can find my review here) A novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. Heart of Steel was my second book by Probst and what a ride it was! A lovely romance made of passion, intrigue and discovery, a story where even a heart of steel can melt when it gets to experience  the reality of unconditional love…
