Rikki is an assassin who prefers to work alone. She's never understood the need to belong to a group, and has vowed to never join the Assassin's Guild. So when by the books Misha shows up to try and pursuade her otherwise, she's a bit miffed. Although with a body like his, it's hard to stay mad at him for long.
Misha is determined to bring Rikki into the Assassin's Guild. She's too much of a wild cannon to be allowed out unsupervised, and since she's laid the blame for more than one of her jobs at his feet, he's taking it personally. He just never expected her sweet curves could sway him from his mission.
When things explode both in the bedroom and out, will these two assassins on opposite teams be able to put aside their differences to stay alive, or will pride be the downfall to both of them?
Carla says:
I have a thing for assassins. Don't know why, either, but I do. This story was not only assassins, but space assassins, so it was a double bonus for me. I enjoyed the banter between Misha and Rikki, and the sex scenes weren't too bad, either. It was fun to watch them figure out that sometimes being the lone gunman isn't all it's cracked up to be, and golly gee, maybe having someone to watch your back isn't a bad thing after all. It was a quick, fun read, and anyone who has a strange obsession with assassins like I do should definitely give this book a try. Hoping there will be a second one, too.

Review & Contest: Vampires in America: The Vignettes by D.B. Reynolds
Author: D.B. Reynolds
ISBN: 978-1469978215
Publisher: Createspace
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: E-Book and Paperback
Price: .99 E-Book $5.89 Paperback
Revisit the vampires and their mates that have made this
series popular with nine short stories.
It all starts of course with Raphael and Cyn and ends with the wedding
of Rajmund and Sarah. In between we
travel to Montreal
to check in on Sophia and Colin, we also go to D.C. to see what Duncan and Emma
are up too and then the big event that brings them all together.
Of course it is not all easy going when Cyn and Sarah find
themselves kidnapped while celebrating Sarah’s last night single. It is up to the women to get themselves out
of the mess they are in before Raphael and Raj come looking for them and all
hell breaks lose.
D.B. Reynolds started the Vignettes for her readers going in
between books who kept asking for more so she wrote them and posted them on her
website for her faithful followers. Now
in their own book they have become a big hit.
It was wonderful to be able to read what the characters have been up to
since their stories ended, of course I don’t think all their stories are over,
we will see plenty of them through out the rest of the series I am sure. These short stories are non-stop page turners
full of extremely steamy and erotic love scenes. All I can say is thank you Ms. Reynolds for
giving us our much needed fix of such wonderful characters and bring on Lucas.

Erotica / Sci-Fi
Released: January 2012
Officer Danielle is shocked to find out the serial killer she's chasing is actually a black and green skinned alien. As if that wasn't bad enough, the overpowering lust she feels upon first seeing him is both unwelcome and darkly thrilling at the same time. When he comes towards her, claiming she belongs to him, she shoots him, never figuring that would be his version of foreplay.
Krol has come to Earth to claim Danielle, the human mate for him. He doubts she can handle his sexual appetite, but knows she's the only chance at continuing his species. He never expects to find all that fire and passion inside her. And when she shoots him, well, he thinks he may have met his perfect match after all.
This was a quick sci-fi story about an alien and the woman destined to be his. The story starts out with them meeting, then him hunting her through the woods before they have crazy alien sex on the ground. I had issues with the way Danielle's emotions were written during that scene, because it was dangerously close to sounding like he was raping her, regardless of her body's reactions. As the book progresses, that issue disappears, and the two start to follow the usual patterns of two people getting to know one another. It was a quick read, and despite the choppy start, I didn't mind it.

Writing the bones, then putting meat on them
Brita Addams
The one fallacy many writers have when they first start
writing, is in the thinking that they have to write the entire the story in one
go. Oh, how difficult that is, even in the second or third go.
Building a story is difficult work. Each scene builds toward
the next, and sometimes the story veers off into directions unforeseen. For me,
it is very difficult to plot a story in its entirety. The fundamentals, yes,
the general direction, even an idea as to how it ends, but the meat of the
story is something that takes shape as I go along.
Characters tend to have ideas of their own and to
steadfastly ignore their pleadings is to sacrifice the story they want for the
one I can't quite see yet.
I've discovered that I can write very quickly if I don't
stop to flesh out the thoughts or actions on the first go-round. It is good for
me to get the thoughts down, sometimes with notes about further researching a
particular point. The story flows nicely if I don't fill in every detail, every
description.
Much like a woman dressing for a ball, stories are written
in layers.
Underclothes first, or in the story sense, the setting down of the
conceptual ideas. The slip and corset comes next, and with it, the eventual shape
of the woman (or story) takes form. Then the lovely dress is slipped over her
head, the buttons fastened (edited) and the entire picture (story) comes into
view.
There are as many different habits in writing as there are
writers. Plotter or pantser (writing by the seat of your pants) is a very
common question. I always answer that I'm a bit of both. I write down the
beginning, usually starting with a scene that has haunted me. I create the main
characters, set down their features, their manner, their social positions—all this
is done before I start to write.
I get the basic goal of the story set, that's pretty easy
usually, pretty elementary – the getting together of the two main characters. I
don't write anything but happy endings. J The
story lies in how that goal is accomplished, what will keep them apart, what
angst the characters have, enemies that step into the breach they've cause, oh,
my there are thousands of ways to get to the goal.
Sometimes, well, okay, most of the time, my characters take
me for a ride and that's the story that is the most fun to write. I love being
taken on an unexpected journey, having the story unfold in ways I didn't
expect, things happen that I never saw coming.
One quick story—when I starting writing Lord Decadent's Obsession,
my hero, Prentice Hyde, was in possession of a nagging mother. She'd made it
her life's work to remind Prentice that he, as a Marquis, was obligated to
marry and soon. There was one particular scene where Mama Hyde and her daughter
had destroyed a perfectly nice evening. On the way home that evening, the dear
older woman met her demise. I'd had something entirely different planned for
her, having her as the bane of Prentice's existence throughout the book, but I
was led to something completely different.
That's a minor example, but it illustrates the point.
The length of the book is also something that I never can
determine until it's written. I never force the story to be any particular
length. Overwriting is always a bad idea. It often leads to meandering plots,
filler characters or side stories that don't have anything to do with the main
story.
Too many stories within a book gets confusing, gives the
reader too much to sort out and keep straight. It's also the cause of the
dreaded "sagging middle," the place where the writer has to write
something, but the story doesn't have enough fuel to see its way through to a
longer book.
I learned early on, that if a paragraph or even a scene can
be cut and it doesn't harm the story, they aren't needed. That only means that
it didn't advance the story in any way. It was great advice.
Writing is great fun, a wonderful creative outlet. To be a published
author is a great honor, and to have readers who wait for your next book to be
release, now that's priceless.
Here's the blurb from my new release, Demands of the Heart:
In
1807, idealistic Richard Fanshaw and Victoria Bramhill are consumed with each
other, their young love blooming amidst a series of carefree soirees and stolen
moments.
But
jealousy and greed turn what they have into something ugly and twisted. They're
wrenched apart amid vile lies and deceit when Victoria's freedom is bought to pay her
father's debts.
Six
years later, Victoria is widowed and a cynical
Richard has just returned to England
after years in India. Having been given the impression that Victoria's marriage was a happy one, a chance meeting
renews Richard's anger over Victoria's
betrayal and sets in motion a plan for revenge.
One

In 1807, idealistic Richard Fanshaw and Victoria Bramhill are consumed

But jealousy and greed turn what they have into something ugly and
twisted. They're wrenched apart by vile lies and deceit when Victoria's freedom is sold to pay her

been given the impression that Victoria's
marriage was a happy one, a chance meeting renews Richard's anger over Victoria's betrayal and
sets in motion his plan for revenge.
Demands of the Heart jut became one of my favorite stories
written by Brita Addams. The love
Richard has for Victoria and then to feel
betrayed by her was so emotional and the pain Victoria felt was heart wrenching. Two people so in love torn apart and then
come together years later one bent on revenge the other needing to
survive. The story had all the elements
needed to make it complete romance, humor and anger. I am always looking forward to what Ms.
Addams comes up with next a wonderful storyteller.

Genre: Erotic Ménage
Format: E-Book
Price: $2.99
When Jada McKenzie meets her internet
pal for the first time, she is swept off her feet and whisked away to Costa Rica but
has no idea she will be the dessert on the menu for two. Her greatest
experience with sex is from watching adult videos, which leaves a lot to be
desired, in her
opinion.
Though Jada does her best to escape
Tait Bennett and Mike Turner when she finds out what they have in store for
her, they soon show her what amazing sex in a ménage a trois is all about. With
the belief she’ll go to hell for it, she decides to accept their offer of total
ecstasy and dares to be decadent.
After two weeks of bliss, she falls for
them both yet must decide if she wants to stay with them forever more, or go
back to her humdrum life in Toronto.
Dare she live life to the fullest and be mistress for two, or will love find
its way into each of their hearts and make three into one?
This is the debut book for Bobbi Brattz and it is a great
beginning, I see a lot of potential for her in the erotic world. The chemistry between Jada, Tait and Mike is
scorching. With some humor thrown in to
the mix you will keep the pages turning and wish it never ends. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Brattz
work in the future.

Nick and Riley had been friends and roommates for years. As
Riley prepares for his upcoming wedding with Lily, he grapples with his divided
love....Lily and Nick. Both men suppress their feelings thinking the other
would deny the love. Lily, being the headstrong woman that she is, rules Riley
mind, body and soul...right down to the strap on she uses to give Riley what he
needs.
Lily...strong, beautiful and ever insightful. Seeing right
through the two most important men in her life, she sets the wheel in motion
that will bring these three together. As Lily and Nick danced at her wedding,
she draws his attention to the fact that Riley watches with hunger filled eyes.
Lily draws herself up under Nick's chin and whispers words of secret desires.
Nick, however, is not sure what how to interpret the feelings that she stirs
deep within. Could it be that secretly Riley has harbored feelings for him as
well?
While on their honeymoon, Riley and Lily decide to explore
Nick’s feelings. However, while they are away Nick struggles with his own
feelings of abandonment now that his two dear friends are married and starting
a new life together....without him. Nick returns to the private club for some play
time, but his heart just isn't in it. As he is leaving, he bumps into a former
play partner, Steven, who won't take no for an answer and continues to press
for a deeper relationship.
Weeks have passed since Riley and Lily have returned from
their honeymoon and not a word from them. However, he was not far from their
minds. They developed a play to integrate Nick into their new life. With an
invitation for dinner, Nick goes to their new house with beer in hand unsure of
what the night will bring. After dinner and some liquid courage, Lily makes her
move and initiates the plan they hatched. Initially, Riley plays off that it is
more for Lily, but secretly wanting it for himself too.
I absolutely loved this story. Watching their love triangle
grow with each contributing something the others needed. Then the author throws
in the drama with Steven and his stalking of Nick, Riley and Lily. The reality
of the blackmail that could happen in the real world that happens to people who
work and try to hide their true selves. The love between these
three....emotional and physical was off the charts. Intimacy to a whole new
level, Lily loving Riley and knowing what he needed and willingly embrace it.
Truly understanding Nick's struggle with his feelings of "out man
out" in a friendship with a married couple. I just can't say how much I
love this story.

Templar knights defied
the archangels and unearthed the copper scroll, revealing the gates to hell.
Cursed for their forbidden act, they forever roam the earth protecting mankind
from evil. But darkness stalks them, and battles they fight bring them
ever-closer to eternal damnation. One promise remains to give them salvation –
the return of the seraphs.
Embittered by his
purpose, Merrick du Loire must honor an ancient pact and bring peace to his
cousin’s soul. When he stumbles upon history professor Anne MacPherson, he
discovers she possesses a sacred artifact that marks her as a seraph. Duty
demands he set aside his personal quest and locate the knight she’s fated to
heal. As he struggles with conflicting oaths, Anne arouses buried hope and
sparks forbidden desire that challenges everything he’s sworn to uphold.
Anne has six weeks to
complete her thesis on the Knights Templar. When Merrick
takes her to the Templar stronghold, he presents her with all she needs—and
awakens a soul-deep ache, he alone can soothe. Yet loving Merrick
comes with a price. If she admits she's destined for him, her gift of foresight
predicts his death.
Immortal Hope had me hooked from page one all the way to the
end. Riveting and intriguing twist on
the Templar knights Claire Ashgrove has a new fan. I loved the detail to the history of the Templar
and the chemistry between Anne and Merrick.
You could almost feel Merrick’s
frustration at his attraction to Anne whom he thought was meant for one of the
other men. Then there is Anne who can
see what is going to happen but yet she still wants Merrick
she just has to make sure he doesn’t find out the truth of which man she truly
belongs to. I am anxiously awaiting the
next installment in this series and they have a reserved spot on the keeper
shelf.

Doctor Lili Carter is not just a doctor but also a witch
healer. She returns to Crying Souls
Hospital in search of her
friend who has disappeared and soon discovers things are not right at the
hospital. Lili is soon invited by the head of the hospital Dr. Mortimer into
his research area where she encounters shadow demon Jared.
Branded as dangerous Jared as the ability to use the shadows
to get away from his prison at the hospital for short periods of time and what
better place to go to then the new doctors.
Lili and Jared are soon in a race to find out what is
happening at the hospital and what Dr. Mortimer is up to or will they end in
failure and be torn apart forever.
A Demon Does It Better is the sequel to Linda Wisdom’s Demon’s
Are A Girls Best Friend but I discovered it is a stand alone book and can be
read separate from the first. I felt it
was a little predictable as I figured out what was going to happen before I
turned the next page with the exception of what was truly happening to all of
the staff that came up missing and what Dr. Mortimer was up to. I found Jared so easy to fall for no matter
which form he was in and Lili proved to be a strong independent woman who could
go toe to toe with Jared. It was fun reading
about Jared and Lili and their thrilling and electric story.

Genre: Erotica
Format: E-Book
Price: $4.45
Brenna Laine grew up in Samuels Creek, Texas with her
mother, step father and Jase, her by all intense and purposes her step brother.
Poppa Jason raised Bren, as he so lovingly referred to her as, after her mother
died on his bull ranch. She secretly hid her feelings for Jase all these years.
Now, grown adults, Bren still pines for the dark and sexy Jase, and he still
considers her the little sister that needs protecting. Poppa Jason sees right
through both of them though.
Returning home to celebrate Jase's birthday, Bren struggles
with her feeling as she watches him with his personal assistant getting closer
as the party draws on. She is unable to endure watching this woman get what she
has wanted...Jase. Even after Poppa Jason's prompting, Bren decides to leave
the ranch knowing that Jase and his assistant will end up in his bed having
mind-blowing sex. She has heard all the stories of him and his women, and
knowing how great of a lover he is.
Bren quickly escapes to her room to pack and leave without
saying good-bye to Jase. However, a little birdie told him she was not feeling
well and retired early to her room. Concerned, Jase seeks her out. Following
the advice of Poppa Jason, she takes advantage of the opportunity and kisses
Jase and when he responds her fire is ignited with intimate touches and
passionate kisses, but then is quickly extinguished. He blames his behavior on
alcohol as she confesses his feelings, but rejection is all she felt. She left
the ranch that night and went back to New
York and school.
Tragedy brings Bren back to the ranch...Poppa Jason has died
and his will left very specific wishes to be carried out. Bren must live on the
ranch for three months with Jase and not disclose the details of Poppa's wishes
and if she doesn't then Jase will lose the ranch. So, Bren returns to the ranch
with the memories of their time together fresh in her mind.
Their time together reveals true emotions. Blazing hot sex
and honest confessions allow Bren and Jase to view each other with untainted
eyes.
The author did a phenomenal job in just 77 pages. She built
them up, tore them down and created a new love. These characters knew each
other and their desires burned slowly over the years as they denied themselves
each other. I loved Bren's innocence and open-hearted love that she has for
Jase. And Jase, well he was built for sex....dark hair, broad shoulders, the
body that screams that he knew his way around a bull ranch. He demanded control
and Bren easily handed it over.
