New reads for the new year! My goal this year is to read more! I've also crossed young adult and most urban fantasy off my list for the year. Romance, romance, romance! Move some series along, start a few new series.
What I've read this month:
A Wicked Caress by Stephani Hecht. Paranormal MM romance. Book five in the Lost Shifters series. These books are pretty short, and fairly expensive for their length, but they are SO good. I plan to read the entire series. 4 stars.
Siren in the City by Sophie Oak. Menage erotica. Book 2 in the series. One of the few Siren authors worth reading. Good story. 4 stars.
Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep. Urban fantasy, book in the series. It was pretty good. But I don't know if I'll read more. I am moving away from UF (i.e. - series about one character) so this series is tabled for now. 4 stars.
Rebellion & Resurrection by Eve Vaughn. SF erotic romance. Books 3 & 4 of the series. 3 stars to each. They were ok. Book 3 was better. Book 4 was a little anti-climactic. I'm glad the series is done.
Refugees on Urloon by Melisse Aires. SFR. Sometimes you take a chance on an author when there's a sale. This one was definitely not worth the change I paid for it. 2 stars.
The Gladiators by Kaitlyn O'Connor. Erotic SFR. book 3 in the Enslaved series. As with most KO'C books, I really liked it. 4 stars.
Absolution by Susannah Sandlin. PNR. Book 2 in the series. AWESOME! I love this series. Can't wait for book 3, next month! Highly recommend. 5 stars.
Tee-ani's Pirates by Rachel Clark. Erotic SFR. A Siren book, and it was a good one. Will be reading more by this author. 4 stars.
Delicate Freakn' Flower by Eve Langlais. PNR. Book 1. Excellent, funny book. This is a really good author. Recommended. 5 stars.
Captive by Trista Ann Michaels. Erotic SFR. Book 1 in the Entwined Fates series. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the entire series. 4 stars.
Dark Citadel by Cherise Sinclair. BDSM erotic romance. Book 2 in Masters of the Shadowlands. Excellent. This lady knows how to write BDSM. Loved it! 5 stars.
Hunted by Evangeline Anderson. Erotic SFR. Book 2 in Brides of the Kindred. LOVED it. Look forward to reading more. 5 stars.
Colonization by Aubrie Dionne. SFR. Wow! Sometimes you take a chance on a sale and it's worth every penny! This was one of the best books ever! Looking forward to reading more by this author. 5 stars.
Prince of Ice by Emma Holly. A Tale of the Demon World book. I love the world created here, which is a sort of historical steampunk blend. This book was worth every penny. 5 stars.
Sought by Evangeline Anderson. Erotic SFR. Book 3 in Brides of the Kindred. Couldn't wait, had to read it, loved it! I'll probably read #4 very soon. I've got to find out what happens with the next couple. 5 stars.
Angelic Desires by Stephani Hecht. PNR. Very short prequel to the Archangel series. It was good but cut off too abruptly. I guess that was the idea, now I really need to read the series! 3 stars.
Mercury's War by Lora Leigh. Breeds #16. PNR erotica. Love, love, love the Breeds, and this was no exception. 5 stars.
Holly by Dominique Adair. BDSM erotic romance. Starts off pretty good, kind of peters out. 3 stars.
Hybrid Misfit by Eve Langlais. PNR erotica. Wow I hope this is the start of a series. This was fabulous! 5 stars.
Hidden Enemies by Ravyn Wilde. Erotic romantic suspense with a touch of paranormal. Excellent! 4 stars.
Winded by Sherri King. Part of the Shikar series. Short but really good. I love the Shikar books! I've read them all. 4 stars.
Forbidden Pleasure by Lora Leigh. Erotica menage romance. Bound Hearts #8. Didn't think I was going to like it, but I did, despite awful character names and a somewhat predictable plot. 4 stars.
Creating Chemistry by Marie Harte. SFR erotic menage romance. Creation #3. Really enjoyed it, good series. 4 stars.
Cynful by Dana Marie Bell. PNR. Halle Shifters #2. I wasn't really thrilled with this story, but liked it enough to give it 4 stars.
Desire Unchained by Larissa Ione. PNR. Demonica #2. Ok finished it Feb 1st. It was a good book, a little long. Shade was a bit of an idiot. But I liked it well enough for 4 stars.
Carnal Gift by Pamela Clare. Historical romance. Blakewell #2. Re-released uncut ebook version. This was an ok historical, very predictable. 3 stars.
