Books Read in February 2013:
Armageddon by Kaitlyn O'Connor. SFR. KOC is one of my favorite authors, but this book wasn't that great. It was interesting, and I didn't want to not finish it. But it lacked the humor of some of her books, in fact it was downright dreary and depressing. It did have a happy ending, so that was good. According to one site it is the first book in the Clone Wars series, however, I am unable to determine if there were any more books written in the series. 2.5 stars.
Kidnap and Kink by Brynn Paulin. BDSM. Taboo Wishes #2. Really good story. The cover is horrible and I put a different one on my ereader. The story was very good. 4 stars.
Avari Nyx & Marks of Admar by Viola Grace. #3&4 of Champions of Terra. Erotic sci-fi romance. They were quite good, though the usual bad sentence structure and incorrect use of commas was a bit annoying. 3 stars each.
Sanctuary Lost by Moira Rogers. PNR. #2 of Red Rock Pass. Good story, lots of action, relationship building, and moves the story arc along quite well. 4 stars.
Caging the Beast by Marie Harte. Sci-fi erotic MM romance. #4 of Creations. Excellent story about the Beast (a Creation) and his alien lover and mate. Lots of action, good sex scenes, and a nice conclusion to the series. I would love to see a new series about the Ebrellions. 4 stars.
Haldis Imperium by Viola Grace (Champions of Terra #5) Good light reading, funny here and there. 3 stars
A Perfect Darkness by Jaime Rush (Offspring #1) Great story, and it has a Cockatoo! Very well portrayed, too. The story was really good, I loved it. All the people are still in very great danger, though, so it was a "happy for now" kind of ending. 4 stars.
A Drop of Blood by Viola Grace (25 pg) I really liked this one. It packed a lot of story into a few pages. 4 stars.
Heart of the Oracle by Viola Grace (25 pg) Really good! A bit piece in the universe she has written hundreds of stories in. 4 stars.
Embracing My Submission by Jenna Jacob (BDSM). When I first started this book, I didn't think I was going to like it, because it is in first person, and I didn't think I liked Emerald that much. But that sure changed! There was so much emotional growth throughout the story. The BDSM was excellent. I loved the relationships between all the major players. There was a considerable amount of "purple prose" during sex scenes. That, and sloppy editing of the last few chapters, forces me to knock off half a star. But overall, an excellent read! I would definitely read more by this author. This book puts authors who play at writing BDSM to shame. 4.5 stars.
Lurin's Surrender by Marie Harte (Life in the Vrail #1) SF erotic romance. Great story! 4 stars.
The Many Sins of Lord Cameron by Jennifer Ashley. Historical romance. Loved it! Cam and Ainsley were great characters. 5 stars
Scorcher by Viola Grace (Terran Times #2). Really enjoyable story. 4 stars/
The Heat of the Knight by Scottie Barrett. Historical Erotic Romance. Pretty bad, they spoke like modern people, but the setting was the middle ages. And that is only one reason why this one gets 2 stars.
Omega by Susannah Sandlin (Penton #3). Be still my heart, I loved this series and this book! I do hope there will be more! 5 stars.
Raphael/Parish by Laura Wright & Alexandra Ivy. 2 stories, paranormal romance, which ended with a cliff hanger! Excellent writing. 5 stars.
Atlantean Heat by Jordan Summers. (Atlantean's Quest 3.5) Despite that I skipped #3 unintentionally, I wasn't lost, so this story works as a stand alone. Short scifi erotica. 3 stars.
Erica's Choice by Sami Lee. Contemporary Menage. Excellent story, dealt very well with sensitive topics. Three very realistic characters. Great sex, too! 4 stars.
Heart Mate by Robin D. Owens (Celta #1). Futuristic scifi romance. I loved it, though I found the chapters long for my taste. I loved the ending where they were finally happy. 4 stars.
I figured out why I read multiple books at a time. When one gets too intense or scary or something, I put it down and read some of another, until I can go back to it.
