Storm's Heart

Product Description

He’s a wyr warrior, a god of storms. She’s the heir to the Dark Fae throne. But desire will bring both to their knees in this all-new Novel of the Elder Races.

During the rule of her murderous Dark Fae uncle, Thistle “Tricks” Periwinkle found sanctuary among the wyr in New York. Her ethereal beauty and sparkling personality won the hearts of the public, but after her uncle’s death, there are those who don’t want to see her ascend to the throne…
Able to wield thunder and lightning, wyr sentinel Tiago Black Eagle has ruled the skies for centuries. His massive build and thunderous power make him one of the wyr’s best weapons. And he’s sent to protect Tricks when she’s almost assassinated in Chicago.
Soon, both Tiago and Tricks will fall prey to the stormy hunger that engulfs them—a passion that will shake the very foundation of all the worlds…
I thought Ms. Harrison's first book Dragon Bound was fantastic but to me this one was better. I love the hero in this one. Can you say tortured hero. He rocks and the way he treats Tricks is fantastic. And I really liked her. Even though she was younger than him she didn't take any of his crap. And she really comes into her own in this book. I love the way this book ended and can't wait to read the third and fourth and any more she writes in this series.
I give this one 5 stars and I bought this one myself. If you haven't read this series please do. You won't be disappointed.

Temper is Not Easily Extinguished

Half-human and half-wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their Dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful–and passionate—of the Elder Races.

As the most feared and respected of the wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed. And when he catches the thief, Dragos spares her life, claiming her as his own to further explore the desire they’ve ignited in one another.

I was late to these books but I love them. This one in particular I really liked cause I love dragon shifters and Dragos is the top shifter of the bunch.  Pia was tough heroine. And the cast of character in Ms. Harrison's books were fantastic. I wanted to join this and meet these characters in person. I really lost myself in this world. I wasted no time in purchasing the second one in this series and that is not my usually mo. Most times I can wait but this is one of those series where you have to devour these books as soon as they are available. I have the third one now and its near the top of my tbr pile.

I give this one 5 stars and I bought it myself and my opinion in my own. Run go buy this series. If you love dragons or any other type of paranormal creature then you need to read this series.

Troy's story....
The Vampire Wardens Book 3

In blood they will find destiny and the eternal bond of passion…

A Vampire Warden betrayed by a werewolf he loved, turned into something not Vampire or Wolf. The woman – the wolf – who will heal him…if he doesn’t destroy them both first.

Excerpt:

He stopped by the broken down nightstand and unlocked his cuff, his long blonde hair draping his face. She reached up and gently shoved it aside, and his gaze slowly lifted to hers, his eyes glowing silver, all remnants of yellow now gone.

“What’s happening to you?” she repeated, then rephrased. “What happened to you?”

“A wolf happened to me,” he said, and then moved abruptly.

Suddenly, her hand was over her head, and her wrist was attached to the bedpost.

NOTE: You will meet NICO from Wicked Werewolf Night in this story-- Nico's story will be the first of THE WEREWOLF SOCIETY releasing December 13th

I've read the second one in this series and it was fantastic. And I am seriously looking forward to reading the other two in this series.

Lisa Renee Jones: Sterling Guest Post and Giveaway

With the end of October, I am still thinking about ghosts and in THE STORM THAT IS STERLING – Sterling is a tormented hero with a few ghosts of his own – the kind you can’t escape but leaving a haunted house!









Sterling Jeter has remarkable powers and has shown himself

to be just about indestructible. But beautiful, brilliant Rebecca

Burns knows that even a Super Soldier needs comfort, and so

much more…

But she can see that deep down,

he’s just a man…

Sterling and Rebecca’s teenage romance was interrupted,

but years later the heat between them flares back to life.

Even though it endangers everything they’re fighting for, it’s

impossible to resist picking up right where they left off…

So with Sterling’s ghost in mind ….do you have one of your own?

Many of my stories have paranormal elements, and certainly my Vampire Wardens have Vampires and Werewolves. A few of my other books, like Beast of Darkness, deal with ghosts and demons. Even in a fictional world I find those creatures from otherworlds scarier than those different beings from our world. Perhaps, because a ghost or a demon, seem so possible. My DH has a couple really freaky ghost stories. One where he was frozen and unable to move while staying in a haunted place. That same night, his buddy got scared and went to the house next door. Everyone with DH thought he came back. They SAW him. He didn’t. The entire story is creepy and will give me chills every time I hear it.

As for my own ghost story? My ex’s parents lived on a country property in North Carolina. When we first moved there we spent a month living with them while we found a home. The place was spooky and it was said the prior owner died there and stayed around. One night I was in the basement that was converted to an apartment and my ex and his parents went on errands. I heard footsteps walking across the living room and rushed upstairs to welcome them home. They weren’t there. I sat on the corner of the couch and stared at the room, unmoving, no television on, for the next thirty minutes until everyone got home. I was scared to death from that point on in that house.

So tell me your scary story for a chance to win a goodie bag of books and bath and body shop goodies!

Review:River Crossed by Patricia Briggs

Car mechanic Mercy Thompson has always known there was something different about her, and not just the way she can make a VW engine sit up and beg. Mercy is a shapeshifter, a talent she inherited from her long-gone father. She's never known any others of her kind. Until now.

An evil is stirring in the depths of the Columbia River-one that her father's people may know something about. And to have any hope of surviving, Mercy and her mate, the Alpha werewolf Adam, will need their help...

Mercy is not your typical badass heroine usually found in UF books. She's more like a Pitt Bull. Tenacious with a side order of stubborn as hell thrown in for good measure.  And she's also loyal to her loved ones to a fault and extremely protective. Love love loved the surprise that Jesse and Mercy's mom pulled on her with the rest of her friends and families help. 

Adam now is such and neat guy and great dresser. He's totally opposite Mercy in many ways but these two together just seem to click. Could be because under that exterior the interior contains its own monster. Adam is also extremely protective and as a were made even more so. but he loves Mercy enough to let her be herself which includes letting her fight monsters if needs be. And in this situation needs be. Love that we find out more about Mercy history and what she is and is not. Her help was some really interesting characters and I hope we learn more about some of them. And I must say that Ms. Briggs wrote a freaky and strange killer.  What with all that is going in this book it is one wild and fast read. Loved it. and I hope we see many more in this series. And maybe some  with the secondary characters as well.
I give is book a 5 star review and I paid for it myself for my own personal pleasure.
