Review: Hot Vampire Seduction by Lisa Renee Jones

Hot Vampire Seduction

The underground vampire population of Austin, Texas has taken to hosting orgies with human women who’ve been forced to indulge in a new aphrodisiac.The drug, Blood Red, is a mixture of a rare type of werewolf blood and that of a vampire. Blood Red creates an insatiable desire for sex in the user to the point of pain in the absence of pleasure. Sometimes that pain leads to death.

Vampire Warden, Aiden Brooks, has spent more than a hundred years enforcing the laws of his race, and life has taught him that anyone that he allows into his world ends up dead. Despite knowing this all too well, having painfully loved and lost in his past, when his search for the creator of Blood Red places coroner Kelly Riggs directly in both his path, and that of a dangerous clan of vampires, his desire for her goes well beyond offering her protection. He’s drawn to her bravery, seduced by her feisty spirit and beauty, but he is determined to resist her, fearing he will put her in harms way. But Kelly is already on the radar of the enemy, and when she gets too close to the evil vampire clan’s secrets, she is given Blood Red. Now Aiden’s hunger for her might be the only thing that can keep her alive but who will save her from him?

I just finished this book today. And it was fantanstic. Loved Lisa's take on vamps especially their natural evolutions. And Kelly is one of my alltime favorite heroines. She smart, feisty, beautiful, and cuts right to the chase. She's also not one to allow her fear to control her. She controls it. She gives as good as she gets. Of course Aiden as the older, sexy, vamp is wonderful but he's proves that old vamps can learn new tricks. And of course the menage doesn't hurt this book one bit lol. I am so waiting for Troy book and I am looking forward learning more about Marcus. I am going to have to get the first one this weekend. I was sent this one by the author and I give it 4 1/2 stars.

Review: Goddess With a Blade by Lauren Dane

Product Description


Rowan Summerwaite is no ordinary woman. Physical vessel to the Celtic Goddess Brigid and raised by the leader of the Vampire Nation, she's a supercharged hunter with the power to slay any vampire who violates the age-old treaty.

A recent string of murders has her at odds with Las Vegas's new Scion, the arrogant and powerful Clive Stewart. The killings have the mark of Vampire all over them, and Rowan warns Clive to keep his people in line—or she'll mete out her own brand of justice.

Though her dealings with Clive are adversarial to say the least, Rowan is intensely aware of her attraction to him. But she can't let it distract her from her duty—to find and battle the killer before more women die

I love Lauren's take on vampires. Its very fresh and different what with an agreement between the vamps and the hunters. Very different indeed. And with the addition of who raised Rowen and her family history it makes for one conflicted heroine which I liked. And Clive he's very arrogant and sure of himself which makes Rowan either want to kill him or kiss him. Sometimes its a toss up as to which way she'll go lol.

If you like Lauren's other books you'll like this one too. It was a very good story with great characters. I didn't think her characters were as fleshed out as some of her other books and that her secondary characters weren't as good in this book as some of her others like her Chance series but this was still a good book. I give it 3 1/2 stars

I received a copy of this one from Netgalley for review purposes only and no other consideration.

Review: Taken by Midnight by Lara Adrian

Product Description


AT THE CROSSROADS OF DEATH AND DESIRE, A WOMAN TASTES A PLEASURE NO MORTAL IS MEANT TO SURVIVE.

In the frozen Alaskan wilderness, former state trooper Jenna Darrow survives an unspeakable breach of body and soul. But with her narrow escape comes an even greater challenge. For strange changes are taking place within her, as she struggles to understand—and control—a new hunger. To do so, she will seek shelter in the Boston compound of the Order, an ancient race of vampire warriors whose very existence is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most mysterious of them all is Brock, a brooding, dark-eyed alpha male whose hands hold the power to comfort, heal . . . and arouse.

As she recovers under Brock’s care, Jenna finds herself drawn to the Order’s mission: to stop a ruthless enemy and its army of assassins from subjecting Earth to a reign of terror. Yet in spite of their resolve, a purely physical relationship without strings soon binds Brock and Jenna together with a desire fiercer than life and stronger than death itself—until a secret from Brock’s past and Jenna’s own mortality challenges their forbidden love to the ultimate trial by fire.

This book is hard to review without giving away all the secrets of the book. I can say that Jenna is one of the strongest heroines I've ever read. Her life has been one bomb dropped on her after another. But she takes it and comes out fighting. I hope that if I had to face the adversities that she has I would face them with the grace and courage she shows. And Brock sheesh fanning myself. Brock is so protective and tender with her that you root for them from the beginning. What with whatever the ancient did to Jenna and with Brock's secret resurfacing they have more than their share of things that could separate them but only the simplest thing to keep them together. If you could call love simple that is. My only thing about this book is that it left plenty of questions unanswered. Almost but not quite too many cause I am a impatient sort of woman. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.

I bought this one on my own and was not compensated in any way for this review. I give it 4 1/2 stars.
