It’s a quick read (~50 pages) but a full story and will help fill in some important pieces, whether or not a person has read <i>daynight</i> or not.</span></div>
<div class="yiv5222363730MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1656" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1657" style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;">Alexa Knight is the voice of <i id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1683">clean slate complex</i>. She’s homeless. Her mom’s sick and in desperate need of medical care and she agrees to help out the SCI in return for help for her mom. Alexa figures out what the SCI is up to, but with her brothers and her mom in the SCI’s clutches, what can she do about it? Alexa’s a tough and feisty character who isn’t afraid to take action. We’ll see more of her in <i>arbitrate</i> as we return to Kira, Blake and Ethan’s story.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv5222363730MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1690" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1689" style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;">Although <i>arbitrate</i> is not yet fully written, it is fully plotted. Here’s what I can tell you (without giving away spoilers since many haven’t read<i>daynight</i>):</span></div>
<div class="yiv5222363730MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1691" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1692" style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;">- There’s a year gap between the end of <i>daynight</i> and start of<i>arbitrate</i>. Any flashbacks that happen cover the year gap (no childhood flashbacks).</span></div>
<div class="yiv5222363730MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1693" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1694" style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;">- There is a <i>lot</i> of action and movement. The characters aren’t sitting in Garden City, taking what the SCI throws at them. They are on the move. We’ll see a whole lot more of Thera and of what’s happening on Earth.</span></div>
<div class="yiv5222363730MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;">- The Arbiters play a big role (thus the title). My favorite character (because I <i>love</i> comic relief characters), Jax, plays a huge role. If you loved the snippets you saw of him in <i>daynight</i> you may be willing to throw Ethan and Blake under an SCI bus by the end of <i>arbitrate</i>. That’d be mean though. Don’t do that.</span></div>
<div class="yiv5222363730MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;">- Everything Kira tried so hard not to deal with in <i>daynight</i> comes back to haunt her in <i>arbitrate</i>. She snaps. And when she comes out of it she’s not quite the same person (in a good way).</span></div>
<div class="yiv5222363730MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1675" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1676" style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;">- Chapter one is both horrifically grim and funny. Not in the same scene though. Horrifically grim things aren’t funny.</span></div>
<div class="yiv5222363730MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1677" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1678" style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;">- There will be more controversy, but not about Cleaving. I think we are all done with that one.</span></div>
<div class="yiv5222363730MsoNormal" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1680" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367251805275_1679" style="color: #444444; font-size: 10.5pt;">- <i>arbitrate</i> will be professionally content and copy edited and have alpha/beta reads. This process was more informal in <i>daynight</i>—but after working with a professional editor on <i>clean slate complex</i> I see the benefits and will never go back.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><b>Meet The Second Chance Institute (SCI):</b> Earth’s benevolent non-profit by day, Thera’s totalitarian regime by night. Their motto: Because Everyone Deserves a Second Chance™. Reality: the SCI subjects Second Chancers to strict controls and politically motivated science experiments like Cleaving—forced lifetime union between two people who have sex. Punishment for disobeying SCI edicts? Immediate Exile or death.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><b>Meet Blake Sundry.</b> Bitter about being raised in Exile and his mother’s death, Blake’s been trained to infiltrate and destroy the SCI. Current barrier to success? His Recruit partner—Miss Goody Two Shoes Kira Donovan.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><b>Meet Ethan Darcton.</b> Born with a defective heart and resulting inferiority complex, Ethan’s forced to do his SCI elite family’s bidding. Cleave-worthy Kira Donovan catches his eye, but the presiding powers give defect-free Blake Sundry first dibs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Meet The Second Chance Institute (SCI):</b> Worldwide non-profit and do-gooder organization. Their motto: <i>Because Everyone Deserves a Second Chance at Life(TM).</i> Reality: hidden behind every kind act is a dark agenda designed to gain control and force societal and moral extremes. Currently, the SCI’s pushing <i>Project Liberate</i>, a program to woo the poor and downtrodden into their Clean Slate Complexes—where “everything is provided” from jobs to food, shelter, clothing, and education. Unfortunately, as with all things that sound too good to be true, there’s a catch…</span></span></div>

<b>Premise:</b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">A broken and desolate Earth. A young girl struggling to survive. A lost boy with a powerful secret.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">A discovery that will change everything.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">In the distant wake of a plague that has decimated the Earth's population, humanity is split in two: The rich and powerful live in skycities that float overhead, while those who remain on the ground have gathered in settlements strewn across a dying planet. Eighteen-year-old Terra Rhodon is a terrestrial--a denizen of the barren groundworld--who makes her living as a scav. Long abandoned by her father, her caregivers gone, Terra supports herself and her younger brother, Mica, by scouring the earth for discarded scraps and metals to recycle for profit. One day, while on a routine scavenging run, she discovers something that shocks her home settlement of Genesis X-16. When the value of her discovery is revealed, Terra's world is turned upside down.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Terra suddenly finds herself asking questions no one will answer. Her search for the truth leads her to Adam--a beguiling skydweller unlike any she has ever met. But Adam has secrets and a quest of his own, and with him by her side, the world Terra thought she knew begins to unravel. Soon her discoveries unearth a terrifying conspiracy that has the potential to shatter everything--a revelation that will test the bonds of loyalty, family, and love.</span><br />

<span style="color: black;">“You. You’re… you’re this total anomaly. The officials, the guardsmen, even our own teachers… people from up top barely associate with us. They serve their time down here in the hopes of netting something better for themselves when they get back—a promotion, a raise, whatever.” I secure the bandage with a knot, and my fingers linger a little too long. “You could treat us like the rest of them do—like we’re nothing more than your innkeepers, people who provide a place for you to bunk. But you, I don’t know, actually seem to like spending time with the people here. You’re… interesting. And you’re interest<i>ed</i>. In Sixteen. In us. You don’t immediately try to sanitize your palms after shaking someone’s hand down here.” </span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>REVIEW:</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Rose and Derek's story continues in <strong>Seduced by Pain</strong> and it is one thrilling adventure. This story has found a way into my heart and I find myself holding my breath as they race to what I hope is a beautiful Happily Ever After. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">This time around their love is put to the test all while they try to save their families. They learn what it means to fight for what they believe in and they both seem to find there place in the world. Sometimes family is the people that you choose to love rather than the people you were born to.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">We are introduced to several more characters that I fell in love with. This series has taken a turn that could lead to endless possibilities. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Seduced by Pain is wonderfully written. It is emotional and riveting! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Once again we are left wanting more! I personally can not wait to see where <em>Kimberly Kinrade</em> leads us in the next and final book in the trilogy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">I don't think I will ever get enough of Rose and Derek! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="background: white;">"Liquid fire poured into me, filling me
with the intimate sense of him as he leaned in to claim my lips with his own. I
reached for him, needing him closer, but my arms couldn't close the distance
between us, which grew wider with each hitched breath. So close to finally
feeling something real, something carnal and deep, I cried out in frustration,
dropping my hands as he disappeared. My cries deepened into a frenzy of panic
and my eyes flew open. I clutched my blanket and stilled myself to calm my
racing heart.</span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Just a dream. Always just a

<br />
<span style="background: white;">Rose Wintersong didn't have an ordinary
upbringing. Raised in what most would call a hippy commune, but what is
actually a powerful coven of witches, she never questions the life fate chose
for her.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Until she meets Derek O'Conner.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Derek challenges everything Rose believes and
forces her to see the secrets hidden beneath the whitewashed walls of her
idyllic country life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Rose knows she should walk away, that the sexy
martial arts instructor is bad news bred to create discord in her tight
community… but the animal magnetism between them is impossible to fight.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Caught between the passion of first love, and
the steady beat of the life she's always known, Rose must choose between the
innocence of her youth or the pleasures of womanhood—but lost innocence comes
at a price, and Rose harbors a dark secret that could destroy everyone she
loves—including Derek.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />

I have loved every book I have read by <em>Kimberly Kinrade</em> and <strong>Seduced by Innocence</strong> was no different. This a classic Romeo and Juliet story with a huge paranormal twist. Each chapter starts with a verse from Romeo and Juliet which I truly loved because the quotes really set each and every scene. It was delightful!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em>Kimberly Kinrade</em> writing is intense. She has mastered the art of suspense in a romantic coming of age story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Summary:</span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<span id="freeText2666388756771164062">New York Times <em>bestselling author Lynsay Sands delivers a wickedly fun Argeneau novel featuring a vampire ready to claim his mate and the beauty who resists her fate!</em><br /><br /><strong>A kiss doesn’t mean eternity . . .</strong><br /><br />Valerie Moyer doesn’t believe in vampires—until she is kidnapped by a fanged psychopath! After escaping her bloodthirsty captor, she’s through with creatures of the night. Until she finds herself under the protection of the darkly handsome Anders. Not only is she expected to accept that Anders is immortal, but also that she is the woman destined to be his life mate!<br /><br /><strong>. . . Or does it?</strong><br /><br />Anders felt a connection to Valerie from the moment he cradled her bruised body in his arms. But before he claims her, he must destroy the vampire who almost stole her from him forever. His job would be easier if Valerie didn’t fight him every step of the way. Still, Anders loves a challenge, and the green-eyed beauty is worth fighting for!</span><br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></strong><br />
Lynsay Sands has done an impeccable job in writing Immortal Ever After. Her ability to create such amazing stories over and over is amazing.<br />
<br />
Immortal Ever After is probably my favorite Argeneau book to date. This time we have a heroine who can take care of herself. Valerie is incredible.<br />
<br />
Anders seemed real to me. He is handsome and wholesome. He never tried to be the typical type of man that thinks a women needs a man to take care of her. He trusts Valerie to take care of herself while being with her if she needed him.<br />
<br />
Their romance was fun and sexy but it was believable and to me that is what makes a story good. <br />
<br />
I look forward to the next book in this series!<br />

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Lexie is very unhappy this
Valentine’s Day. She can’t get anything right, and her hearts all look
horrible. In fact, everyone at school seems to be in an extra grumpy mood.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">When she and her sisters consult her magic
Mirror of Ice to find out what’s going on, they are transported to Heartland,
the home of Cupid herself, which is under attack by a scary monster.</span><br />

<span style="background: white;">When Cupid is captured, the girls must navigate
the Maze of Misdirection, pull themselves out of Apathy, and survive against
attacking Cruel Crawlies in order to find the Chasm of Broken Hearts… and save
Cupid.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">But first, Lexie has to learn to love herself
just as she is, otherwise Valentine’s Day will forever be filled with broken
hearts. </span></span></div>

<span id="freeText5189688707497046607"><em>MY KISS CAN KILL. <br /><br />I used to be ordinary Samantha Day, but that's changed. Now, after one dark kiss from a dangerous boy, I can steal someone's soul...or their life. If I give in to the constant hunger inside me, I hurt anyone I kiss. If I don't...I hurt myself. <br /><br />Bishop is the one whose kiss I crave most, but if I kiss him, I'll kill him. Then there's another boy, one I can't hurt. One whose kiss seems to miraculously quell my hunger. They're both part of a team of angels and demons that's joined forces in my city to fight a mysterious rising darkness, an evil that threatens everyone I know and love. I just wonder if I'll be able to help Bishop-or if I'm just another part of the darkness he's sworn to destroy.... <br /><br />NIGHTWATCHERS <br /><br />When angels and demons must work together, something beyond evil is rising...</em></span><br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong>Wicked Kiss</strong> is the second installment in the mystical tale of the Nightwatcher series. This is one series that you wont soon forget. <strong>Wicked Kiss</strong> offers a variety of mystery, love and jealousy that will keep you guessing. It is one of the best Fallen Angel series on the market.<br />
<br />
<strong>Michelle Rowen</strong> makes her world of Fallen Angels and Demons come alive! She writes her books with a beautiful and heartfelt imagination. Its the kind of story that I want to read again and again.<br />
<br />
Samantha has had a really hard time. She still cares for Bishop but when she kisses him she hurts him. However when she kisses his brother her hunger is sated. This makes for an interesting beginning to a possible love triangle. <br />
<br />
Samantha learns more and more about what she is up against. She takes a lot of turns while figuring out the truth about what is plaguing the city, but once discovered she knows that she has to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the ones she loves. <br />
<br />
<strong>Wicked Kiss</strong> is an emotional rollercoster that just keeps going. I don't ever want this ride to stop. While the end of this book cleans up nicely, I'm still hoping for an encore!! <br />
<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Aimee Carter has created a masterpiece. The Greek Gods are incredible by right but when you have an author that can humanize them the way that she has then what you get is simply incredible.<br />
<br />
This book was magnificent. It had the humor, the danger, the bickering between every single God and Goddess. It had relationship problems, love and oh did it have some raging hormones going on! It just doesn't get much better!<br />
<br />
Kate and Henry were phenomenal in this book. They love each other and in comes through on every page. <br />
<br />
They now have a reason to fight in this war. Kate has given birth to her son, Milo, only to have him taken from her by Calliope and Cronus. They have to get him back no matter what because he is more important to them than anything else in the world.<br />
<br />
Kate is a bit of a martyr in this book and she is willing to sacrifice herself over and over again to save her family, but what mother wouldn't? She would have been better off to have talked about her plans with Henry. If Henry had known what she had gotten herself into then things might have gone a bit differently. Lives might have been saved.<br />
<br />
Henry knows that Kate is planing to give herself over to Cronus to save her family but he know there is a better way. He knows that while he might get Milo back there is no family without Kate and he will do everything in his power to save her and his son.<br />
<br />
The other Gods and Goddesses have plenty of page time. James is still there helping Kate every step of the way even when it gets him into trouble. Diane, Walter and even Ava are also trying to help in any way they can.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Goddess Inheritance is the final book in this series. <br />
<br />
Wait? <br />
<br />
What? <br />
<br />
No. <br />
<br />
I don't think its over!<br />
<br />
Seriously after finishing this book I don't think we have seen the end of this gang. There were several ways this story could continue on. It could continue with Kate and Henry or maybe even have a few spin offs. I mean come on James has to find his HEA and according to Kate he is supposed to do that within a short amount of time. Ava's son Eros makes an appearance and I can see that story going somewhere. So yeah I don't think that this lovely world will be ending anytime soon. We just might have a longer wait than any of us had hopped for.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></strong><br />
<br />
This is the first book by Michelle Rowen that I have read and I am impressed. The world building was completely unique. I dont think I have ever read anything quite like it. <br />
<br />
Samantha is an anomaly in the world she just doesnt know it. She gets her soul sucked out when she is kissed by her long time crush. Now she is a gray. She is overwhelmed by all of this but when she meets the dark and sexy if not a little crazy Bishop things start to make a little bit of sense. <br />
<br />
Bishop is an angel that is on a mission from heaven to stop the problem of the grays but when he fell from heaven something went wrong. His mind is not quite right. The only time he is himself is when Samantha touches him. <br />
<br />
They work together in this exhillartating tale of heroism and forbidden love. Samantha helps him find the other angels and demons to help witht the mission.<br />
<br />
My favorite character in this book is Kraven. He is not only Bishops brother but also a demon. He has secrets but seems to be a part of the team.<br />
<br />
Overall I really enjoyed this book! I cant wait for the next in the series because there is a bit of a cliffhanger. <br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Summary:</span></strong><br />
<br />
Their LOVE was destiny. Was a CURSE to be their undoing?<br />
<br />
As an ancient king’s favorite harem slave, Lilia committed the worst of all possible crimes: loving another man. When the king discovered her treason, her lover was sentenced to lose his soul and linger in eternal imprisonment, and Lilia herself was executed alongside her sisters. While they reincarnated through countless lifetimes, she lingered alone between worlds for thousands of years, waiting for the moment to rescue her beloved Demetrius.<br />
<br />
Now that moment has come. Demetrius has broken free, but without his soul and in the thrall of the same high priest who betrayed them so long ago; he has become a ravaging demon, devoting himself solely to pleasure and power. Somehow Lilia must convince him to reclaim his humanity, to abandon the enemy tempting him to give in to his cruel desires—or her life will be lost alongside his, both of them condemned to eternal damnation, eternal isolation, their love lost one final and irrevocable time.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
Blood of the Sorceress was the final book in the Portal Series and I am so sad to see it end. Lilia and her sisters will forever be in my heart.<br />
<br />
Maggie Shayne is a true sorceress when it comes to the written word. Her imagination is genuine and her ability to craft a magical world filled with such love and power is unrivaled. The Portal series is undeniably the most extraordinary witchcraft story on the market today.<br />
<br />
Blood of the Sorceress had me sitting on the edge of my seat with a prayer in my heart that these two characters would find that happy ending that we all strive for every day. Demetrius has been through the worst kind of hell and Lilia has held on to hope when all has seemed lost. They have the kind of epic love that refuses to die and I felt like I have been right beside them throughout their journey.<br />
<br />
The Portal Series holds a special place on my bookshelf as well as in my heart. I hope that you take the time to read this remarkable story about three witches who against all odds right a tremendous wrong and live to love for the rest of their lives.<br />

<span id="freeText8517212573643741801">Lenah Beaudonte should be dead. But having sacrificed herself to save another, she finds herself awakening with strange powers that are neither vampire nor human—and a new enemy on her trail. In her vampire life, Lenah had thought that being human was all she ever wanted; but the human heart suffers pain, heartbreak and loss. <br /><br />With her new powers growing and the dark force of the Nex after her soul, Lenah faces a choice: between the mortal love of gorgeous Justin, whose passion fed her human soul, and taking a different path to become the mistress of her own destiny, wherever that may lead...</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></strong><br />
<br />
Stolen Nights started off where Infinite Days ended. Lenah is dealing with the fact that the ritual that was supposed to kill her didn't work and that that very same ritual left her soul mate Rhode alive as well, but this is the kind of magic that is never supposed to happen and there are consequences.<br />
<br />
Lenah is given the choice to go back in time to where she was human girl where she will never meet her soul mate or stay in the present but not be allowed to be with him. She chooses the present where she has her memories but can still see Rhode even if not in an intimate way.<br />
<br />
This is a series that had me going though so many emotions it was incredible. The love that these two share is beautiful. The tragedy that befalls them is devastating and even the end we are left with uncertainty. <br />
<br />
Rebecca Maizel writes a twisted and complicated tale about what it is to love as a vampire and live with the desire to be human. As soul mates Lenah and Rhode will forever be connected.<br />
<br />
<strong>Sometimes love is so strong that it will defy even the hands of time.</strong><br />
<br />
We are left with one heck of a cliffhanger and I really hope we don't have a long wait for book three.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Review:</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong>Indomitable</strong> is a prequel novella to J. Meyers' first book, <strong>Intangible. </strong>It tells the story of how Jonas lived as a human and his his vengeful journey becoming a vampire. I have loved Jonas from he very beginning but after reading this novella I can see how he has kept his pain inside him and I want more than ever for him to find his HEA.<br />
<br />
J. Meyers is an incredible author and I can not wait to see what will happen in her future books. Meyers writes her books in a way that gives you a new and fresh look at a magical world.<br />

<div>
Loti Dupree fears that when her husband died, she lost her soul. Harboring a painful secret, she flees her life in a small Appalachian town for the ashram, the spiritual retreat where she trained to be a yogini. But she is running from more than grief. An ominous nightmare the night before she leaves sets her on a dangerous path of self-discovery that challenges everything she believes – and threatens her life.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
While dodging psychic attacks from an unknown assailant, she struggles with her growing attraction to a broody, handsome and completely frustrating vampire. Loti races to understand who and what she is before her anonymous enemy catches up with her.</div>
<div>
</div>
Loti thought she couldn't survive her husband’s death, but among healers, witches, and vampires, she discovers not only a future, but a family.<br />

<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
He pressed
warm lips to her trembling ones. Her head swam with panic as he slid his arms
around her, deepening the kiss. His hands wandered over her back, skating under
her shirt hem and over her warm, bare skin. When his fingers grazed her flesh,
it dawned on her that she was kissing him back. Her arms were wrapped around his
waist, and their stomachs, and lower things, melded together. Horrified, she
shoved Jeremy’s hips away, breaking the kiss and hissed through gritted teeth,
“Stop.” </div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
Jeremy’s
eyes were glazed and half hidden by his shaggy hair. His breath was shallow as
one arm fell away from her and the other gripped the storage rack behind her.
She turned away from his broad chest into his hard, muscular arm. </div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
“Don’t be
mad, okay?” he whispered. </div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
Lust and
revulsion tangled in her belly as she mumbled, “Jeremy...please.” She caught her
breath. “David. . .” </div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
His arm
dropped out of the way, and his fevered eyes cooled into a careful concern.
“Hey, I get it. No explanation necessary.” He wrapped a hand around hers, giving
it a mollifying squeeze. When she didn’t pull back right away, he leaned his
forehead against hers. For a second they both closed their eyes, Loti yielding
to his comforting gesture. When he crept closer, she splayed her free hand
against his chest and shoved.</div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
“That’s
enough, Don Juan.” </div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
He stumbled
back and she swallowed down the confusing mix of emotions. Holding him at bay,
she extracted her other hand from his as she scuttled out the door. His chin
dropped, eyes still closed, as he drooped against the wall. Out in the open
space of the studio, she took a deep breath and turned to face him. He stood in
the doorway, hands in his pockets, his hair hiding his eyes as he studied his
flip flops. His long surfer shorts showed off muscular calves. <i>How old is he,
anyway? </i>25<i>? </i>She was only 30<i>, </i>but she felt so much older.</div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
“I know I’m
a fool, Jeremy.” Her voice shook despite her careful control. </div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span> </span>He looked up through the
curtain of bangs. His light-hearted smile absolved her. “I’ve had a thing for
you for a while.” He shrugged it off and reached down for his yoga mat. </div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
She forced
herself to look in his eyes as he straightened. “I’m not ready.”</div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1353902204549_2197" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
He cleared his throat. “So when will you
be?” And he flung the mat over his shoulder.</div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
Her stomach
did a flip and she licked the corner of her mouth. “I don’t know. It’s still
fresh.” Her gaze wavered.</div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
Jeremy
flicked the hair out of his eyes. “I’m not going to push it. Don’t worry.” He
smiled wider, showing teeth. “But you’ve got to know how damn hot you are. Maybe
when you get back from this trip.”</div>
<br />
<div class="yiv403092008MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.3in;">
Loti relaxed
the hands she’d balled up. A warm blush bloomed across her cheeks, and she
rolled her eyes. “Yeah, maybe.”</div>

She believes the universe conspires to help an adventurer. And if we live our lives as if it is a daring adventure (and it is!), then everything we need will find its way to us. The author lives in rural Virginia with her husband, two children, an Alaskan Malamute and a myriad of forest creatures. The nature of her mind dictates that she write to stay sane. Otherwise, her fertile imagination takes off on tangents of its own accord, creating scenarios and worlds that confuse the space-time continuum. Namaste, dear friends.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>2012 is over and yay we survived!</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This was such an exciting year for me. I started my blog back at the end of 2011 but it wasn't until this year that I began to take it seriously. I have learned so much this year. I love the publishing world and I have to admit I felt a part of this world by running an active blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved being able to do interviews with authors. I mean how awesome is that, I got to swap emails with these amazing writers and then post all about it. It was so much fun! All the authors were amazing and so easy to work with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My followers count went from 37 to 367 this year and while I know that is is a low number compared to some blogs I couldn't be happier about it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still have no idea how to use Twitter but I plan to tackle it in the coming year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got involved with Blog Tour companies and that was a lot of fun to participate in. I enjoyed being able to promote amazing books even if I didn't have time to read them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite part of my blog year was getting a new blog design. I love it so much! I want to thank Lori at <a href="http://www.imaginationblogdesigns.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Imagination Blog Designs</span></a><span style="color: blue;">.</span> She did an incredible job!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite book this year that I promoted was Poison Princess by Kresley Cole. You can read all about the book on my post <a href="http://www.mortalitybitesreviews.blogspot.com/2012/08/new-young-adult-series-by-kresley-cole.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">HERE</span></a><span style="color: blue;">.</span> You can also read my review <a href="http://www.mortalitybitesreviews.blogspot.com/2012/09/arc-review-poison-princess.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">HERE</span></a><span style="color: blue;">.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't sure if I read more Adult or YA. I love both so much! I was a little excited to find out that it was really close. I read more Adult books. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

That Boy author, Jillian Dodd.<br /><br />Keatyn has everything she ever dreamed of.
Her life is following the script she wrote for the perfect high school
experience. She’s popular, goes to the best parties, dates the hottest guy, and
sits at the most coveted lunch table. <br /><br />She’s just not sure she wants it
anymore.<br /><br />Because really, things aren’t all that perfect.<br />Her best
friend is threatening to tell everyone her perfect relationship is a scam.
<br />Her perfect boyfriend gets drunk at every party they go to. <br />It’s
exhausting always trying to look and act perfect.<br />And deep down, she isn’t
sure if she has any true friends. <br /><br />To add to the drama, her movie star
mom’s long-time fan has turned stalker.<br />An older man is flirting with her and
telling her they should make a movie together. <br />And she’s crushing on an
adorable surfer. Dating a guy like him would mean committing social
suicide.<br /><br />So she writes a new script. One where all the pieces of her life
will come together in perfect harmony. <br />But little does she know, there’s
someone who will do anything to make sure that doesn’t happen.</span></div>

<span id="freeText17113555351641346336"><strong>Can a fanged fashionista take out a deadly Salem spirit?</strong><br /><br />Being on the lam from the Feds and the vampire council with no money is not as glamorous as it sounds, especially when I, Gina Covello, fashion queen of the undead, am forced to abandon my wardrobe. Salem, Massachusetts, seems like a great place to hide our supernatural gang. But who knew the city would be crawling with ghosts? The nasty spirit of George Corwin, infamous sheriff from the witch trial days, is on a killing spree. It's up to us to take down the breath-stealing phantom-without blowing our cover.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></strong><br />
<br />
This was the first book in the series that I have read so I had a little trouble figuring everything out at first. I would have liked to have had a bit more back story in the beginning.<br />
<br />
This book follows Gina the vampire. She and her friends are on the run from the Feds. I have no idea why but they decide the best place to hide out is in Salem were everyone is used to the supernatural occurrences.<br />
<br />
While in Salem they discover that there is a very real and every evil ghost that is not just haunting the people of Salem but actually killing them.<br />
<br />
The group decides to try and solve the case all while trying to stay under the radar of not only the Feds but a Ghost Hunter TV crew that showed up to film haunted Salem.<br />
<br />
I loved the rich history of Salem that we get to lean about. Vampires in Salem fighting angry Ghosts was a ton of fun. I am going to have to read the first few books and then maybe all the relationships will make more sense but I loved this book and cant wait to see what happens next!<br />

Then Lena gets pregnant and runs for the safety of home.<br /><br />Months later, when Ryan appears at her door looking to help raise their child, Lena doesn’t know whom to trust–particularly now that “guru to the stars” Bahru has taken an interest in her baby, offering gifts forged of magic.<br /><br />Soon she and Ryan are sharing eerie dreams of ancient lands, while a vengeful demon plots to take possession of their child. As the moment of birth approaches, the demon’s power rises, forcing the hand of love to wield the blade that will decide the fate of a child’s soul–and the future of the world.</span></span></div>

Maggie Shayne's writing is brilliant. She has a way of making you feel like you are right in the story. I felt like I could just jump right into the pages and live in this world of magic she has created!<br />
<br />
Daughter of the Spellcaster is the second installment in The Portal Series trilogy. This has been my favorite so far. I was swept away by this story of pregnant witch Lena and her wealthy playboy boyfriend who just happens to be the prince from her childhood fantasies. <br />
<br />
Lena doesn't know that she has been reincarnated from ancient Babylon times. The release of memories come so much easier for Lena than they did for Indira in the first book. I think it's because she is pregnat.<br />
<br />
Lena has more of an emotional journey. She has to overcome several emotions including resentment and trust but most of all, love!<br />
<br />
Ryan is Lena's true love and by far my favorite character in this book. He is so devoted to Lena and the baby. He tries to show his love for her on every single page. Even when he is tested by evil he still loves her. He is truly a wonderful man.<br />
<br />
Each book in this series can stand alone but together they are simply magical. I am already halfway through the third and final book. That review will be up soon. Don't hesitate to give this series a try. I think it has something for everyone.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></strong><br />
<br />
This is the final installment in the Hush, Hush series and I found that I was extremely sad to let this world go. I have really gotten attached to Patch and Nora.<br />
<br />
This time around we find Nora and Patch finally working together. The whole world thinks they have split up and it shakes everything up on both sides of the war. No one knows what is going to happen if Nora cant change the course of things.<br />
<br />
There is a ton of action in this book. Even the romantic stuff has you wondering what is going to happen next. We get a good dose of fighting and confrontations too and a huge betrayal that you wont see coming. This is one of those books where you might not be sitting on the edge of your seat but you are trying to figure out the mystery the entire book. Nothing is revealed until the perfect moment.<br />
<br />
In the end Patch and Nora sacrifice everything for each other. It truly is a romantic love story of forbidden love and overcoming all odds for true love. Its about learning that the small moments are the ones that will last you to the very end.<br />
<br />
If you are a fan of fallen angels and epic battles then this one is for you!<br />

<em>The year is 1 AWC—After the Wall Crash. The Fae are free and hunting us. It’s a war zone out there, and no two days are alike. I’m Dani O’Malley, the chaos-filled streets of Dublin are my home, and there’s no place I’d rather be. <br /><br />Dani “Mega” O’Malley plays by her own set of rules—and in a world overrun by Dark Fae, her biggest rule is: Do what it takes to survive. Possessing rare talents and the all-powerful Sword of Light, Dani is more than equipped for the task. In fact, she’s one of the rare humans who can defend themselves against the Unseelie. But now, amid the pandemonium, her greatest gifts have turned into serious liabilities.<br /><br />Dani’s ex–best friend, MacKayla Lane, wants her dead, the terrifying Unseelie princes have put a price on her head, and Inspector Jayne, the head of the police force, is after her sword and will stop at nothing to get it. What’s more, people are being mysteriously frozen to death all over the city, encased on the spot in sub-zero, icy tableaux. <br /><br />When Dublin’s most seductive nightclub gets blanketed in hoarfrost, Dani finds herself at the mercy of Ryodan, the club’s ruthless, immortal owner. He needs her quick wit and exceptional skill to figure out what’s freezing Fae and humans dead in their tracks—and Ryodan will do anything to ensure her compliance.<br /><br />Dodging bullets, fangs, and fists, Dani must strike treacherous bargains and make desperate alliances to save her beloved Dublin—before everything and everyone in it gets iced.</em></div>

<div class="row">
First let me just say that I have had such a hard time writing a review for this one. I have no idea why this is so hard because I loved this book. I adore this whole series. I usually put a lot of detail into my reviews but this one is just going to be short and sweet.<br />
<br />
Iced was a great book however to me it read a bit more like a young adult than I was expecting. Dani is a 14 year old girl who has made it her priority to save her beloved city of Dublin after the walls fell that kept our world and Faerie apart.<br />
<br />
Dani finds herself in the middle of an investigation to find out what is causing places to get iced around her city. She finds tons of action and fun but mostly trouble this time around.<br />
<br />
And oh my gosh I had forgotten how much this author loves cliffhangers. If you want this book to end with a satisfying ending then stop right before the final chapter.<br />
<br />
I can not wait to read the next book in the Fever series. I think we will be seeing a lot more of Mac and Barrons in the next book.<br />

Tales of Goldstone Wood #4<br />
<b>by <a href="http://anneelisabethstengl.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Anne Elisabeth Stengl</a></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Paperback, 400 pages</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Published November 1st 2012 by Bethany House</span><br />
<br />
<b>Premise:</b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">When a cursed dragon-witch kidnaps the lovely Lady Gleamdren, Eanrin sets boldly forth on a rescue mission...and a race against his rival for Gleamdren's favor. Intent upon his quest, the last thing the immortal Faerie needs is to become mixed up with the troubles of an insignificant mortal. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">But when he stumbles upon a maiden trapped in an enchanted sleep, he cannot leave her alone in the dangerous Wood Between. One waking kiss later, Eanrin suddenly finds his story entangled with that of young Starflower. A strange link exists between this mortal girl and the dragon-witch. Will Starflower prove the key to Lady Gleamdren's rescue? Or will the dark power from which she flees destroy both her and her rescuer?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
I have never fallen in love with a story so completely before. This has to be one of the most beautifully written books I have read in a long time. Starflower has a place in history next to classics like Othello, Romeo and Juliet and Alice in Wonderland.<br />
<br />
Starflower to me tells the story of what it means to love. It is about love in every form. <br />
<br />
First you have the Dragonwitch. She is a cursed woman who has been betrayed by love and even though she has such a fiery anger in her you know that to have hate you have to love as well. I look forward to seeing the rest of her story. <br />
<br />
Then you have Lady Gleamdren who is in love with herself so much that she allows herself to be kidnapped just to receive attention. She is quite self absorbed but she does provide several laughs.<br />
<br />
Glomar is such an honorable man. He loves Lady Gleamdren even from afar. His is a story of longing for love.<br />
<br />
Eanrin has not yet learned what love truly is but his journey is incredible. I loved seeing him going from crowd pleasing poet to kick ass hero. Not to mention that he is incredibly sexy!<br />
<br />
However this story is all about Imraldera. She is a cursed woman who has been through too much heartache and tragedy in her short life Her ability to survive that kind of pain but still love the unlovable is commendable. I found I could relate to her from the very beginning. She is an amazing woman who I think given time could change all of Faerie. I hope to some day love the way she does.<br />
<br />
Anne Elisabeth Stengl has just made my top three favorite authors and I can not wait to see where this story continues. If you have not yet read her book please give it a try. It just doesn't get any better than a story about the simplicity of love!<br />
