1. A Tempting Distraction (#7)
2. A Shifter Christmas (#8)
3. An Assasin's Touch (#9)
4. Shane's Fury (#10)
They all get about 4 stars. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Other books for April:
5. A Tarnished Knight by Bec McMaster (London Steampunk 1.5). The first book in the series was one of the best books ever. So I was delighted to find this short story for free on the author's web site. I copied it all and make a book to read on my Kindle. Loved it! 5 stars. Looking forward to the release of book 2 next month.
6. Nauti Kisses by Lora Leigh (Nauti #6) (from the book Nauti and Wild). Loved this short romantic erotic suspense story. I love all the MacKays and friends so this was a great read.
7. Dark Guardian by Christine Feehan (Carpathians #9). Another great story in this series. I loved both characters and the wolves! And Jaxx was really awesome. 4 stars.
8. The Thrall by Angela Knight. Erotic SF short. It was kind of funny, to me. Was a decent read. 4 stars.
9. Silver and Silence by Viola Grace. SFR short. 33 pages. Good story. 3 stars.
10. Siren Enslaved (Texas Sirens 3) by Sophie Oak. Erotica. BDSM. GREAT story. Some suspense, some menage, lots of great story. 5 stars.
11. The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld 1) by Gena Showalter. PNR. It was pretty good. I liked all the "brothers." Some of the world building type things seemed strange, guess I'll have to read more in the series to see where that is going. 4 stars.
12. Lucy's Lover (Federation Chronicles 1) by Arianna Hart. SFerotica. It was ok. Lots of sex, not much else really going on. It became tiresome. Not sure if I will continue with the series. 3 stars.
13. Gabriel's Woman by Robin Schone. Historical erotica. I loved this book. Tortured hero and persecuted heroine. 5 stars.
14. Yuletide Greetings (Taboo Wishes 3) by Brynn Paulin. erotica. Very short but I liked it. One little thing squicked me out at the end, and that was the age of "Bill." That was freakly. 3 stars.
15. Miss Emmaline and the Archangel by Rachel Lee (Conard County 3). Predictable. The stalker was creepy, but the whole ritual thing was never really explained. At least the cattle killings that went unsolved in the previous books were solved in this one. However I did a lot of skimming. I am probably done with this series. 2 stars.
16. Midnight Blues by Lynn Viehl. PNR short. Good story, though the end was too abrupt and I was left wondering what happened to the characters next? 3.5 stars.
17. Embrace the Darkness (Guardians of Eternity 2) by Alexandra Ivy. PNR. Great book! I loved the whole thing. Shay was great, Viper, amazing! 5 stars.
18. The Duke's Perfect Wife (Highland Pleasures 4) by Jennifer Ashley. Historical romance. The story was ok. Way too much flash back and reliance on past events to fill the pages. I skimmed quite a lot. The ending sequence was also way too long, and a bit unbelievable that he did not leave the message sooner. 2.5 stars.
19. Paradise 21 by Aubrie Dionne. SFR. FANTASTIC. I love this series. 5 stars.
20. Slade (Tales of the Were 4 or 5) by Bianca D'arc. PNR. Another bomb. It was terrible. 1 star (for the cover).
21. Lynx (Northern Shifters 3) by Joely Skye. MM PNR. The story started well, and ended well. The middle sagged. A 4 year separation is way too long in a romance. 3 stars.
22. Ride the Fire by Pamela Clare. Historical Romance. From goodreads:
Sorry to say, but this story was too long. And while the female lead started out well, she turned into a TSTL that I wanted to slap the shit out of. I mean, when a man has been unconscious for a day or two due to a blow on the head, what is the first thing you should do when he wakes up? Yell at him? When your man tells you to go to your rooms with your INFANT to stay safe and instead you ignore him and go where you could be KILLED, is that the act of a smart person with an INFANT? She acted like an idiot time and time again. By the end I was SO annoyed and sick of that woman. I couldn't wait for it to be over. 2 stars.
23. Star Crossed (Entwined Fates 2) by Trista Ann Michaels. SFerotica. Stupid characters, lots of sex, and a cardboard villain make for 2 stars.
24. Blood Memories (Vampire Memories 1) by Barb Hendee. UF. I really enjoyed this. One of very few books in which flash backs do not make me die of boredom. I wonder what will happen next in the series. However, don't know if I will read more in the series. (It's not romance). 4 stars.
25. Sweet Temptation (Sweet 4) by Maya Banks. Contemporary erotic romance. Great addition to the series. Good suspense plot, good sex (with men on viagra OR possessing super penis powers), and I loved the ending, too. 5 stars.
26. The Courage to Love (Brothers in Arms 1) by Samantha Kane. Historical erotic romance. Loved this book! Jason was so mmmmm mmmmm good! OMG! I want a man to talk to me like that! I suspect this story would not appeal to historical purists, but hey, it's Ellora's Cave. I thought it was awesome! Just one question unanswered at the end takes away 1/2 a star, so this gets 4.5 stars from me!
27. Hidden Depths (Hidden 2) by Emma Holly. PNR. Great story! Fabulous M/M/M/F sex. I didn't think I'd like it (wereseals!) but I really did. Complex and interesting. Great ending, too! 5 stars.
28. Date Night (Hidden 2.5) by Emma Holly. PNR short. A fun epilogue. 3.5 stars.
29. B785 (Cyborgs 3) by Eve Langlais. SFerotica. Great story! This is a fantastic series. Can't wait for the next one. 5 stars.
30. Kithra (Kithran 1) by Dani Worth. SFR. Great science fiction romance! I will be reading the rest of the series for sure. 4 stars.
31. On Thin Ice (T-FLAC 6) by Cherry Adair. Romance Suspense. Great book. Put on your winter coat before you read it. Loved every bit. 5 stars.
32. Lords of the Sea by Kaitlyn O'Connor. SFR. Wow what an interesting story. Cue Led Zeppelin..."Communication Breakdown" and you sum up the relationship between these characters. all the way to the end, they did not communicate. I found the story very interesting, though I'd have liked a few questions answered at the end. As is so often the case, a little too abrupt. 4 stars.
33. Day by Day Armageddon by J.L. Bourne. Zombies. GREAT story. I loved the journal style. The book was very interesting and entertaining. 4 stars.
