Because of screwing up with Callie, during the summer, I’m drowning my sorrows with drink and women…or that’s what I’m trying to do, but it isn’t working. Every time I close my eyes all I see is Callie, her long flowing blonde locks, her slim curvy body with legs that go on for miles and breasts that make my mouth water. She’s become my weakness and I have no idea how to make amends for my past sin…

It’s been weeks since Reece left me without a backwards glance, and I’m an idiot because I’m finding it difficult to move on and forget him. It doesn’t help that my best friend, Thalia, is engaged to his best friend, Phoenix. But tonight I intend to change all that and maybe do a little flirting with another guy and see where it leads…and who knows, it might even make the pain in my ass realize what he’s missing…

Can be read as a standalone and has an HEA ending – No Cliffhanger

 

Review beige

SPICY is the second instalment in Lexi Buchanan’s contemporary, new adult, erotic series focusing on the rock group Deception and the women in their lives –and there are plenty of women in and out of their lives. SPICY is Reece and Callie’s storyline-Reece is the drummer for Deception and Callie is besties with Thalia-Reece’s band mate’s fiancé.

The story follows Callie as she is pulled into the world of sex, hard drinking and, rock and roll. Reece has made it clear to the other members of the band that Callie is his, but his actions betray the emotional vortex that is his life. Walking away from Callie in the middle of the night has left our heroine with a broken heart, thoughts of betrayal and enough anger to fuel a small rocket to the moon. When well meaning friends convince Callie that Reece still carries a torch, she will discover that Reece has been anything but faithful and true. What ensues is a game of cat and mouse where Reece continues to act the man-whore while Callie’s heart breaks into smaller shards.

Lexi Buchanan pulls the reader into a story of one man’s obsession with the woman who has stolen his heart but a man who is incapable of letting go of the past. Reece has a secret-one that has already affected his life, his family and now Callie-but a secret that is not his to tell. When the secret is finally revealed it may be too late for Reece and the woman that he loves.

SPICY is an erotic storyline with lots of sex. No one is immune to the bad boys of rock and there are plenty of women waiting their turn with one of the band. Lexi Buchanan’s storylines are gritty, graphic and sexually explicit. My only hope is that everyone remains true to their heart.

Return of the Legend

About the Book: The Elven world is evolving and Daroth is set to guide in a new era, but not as King of the Empire. With the Grey Elven King Ingwër, the Crown Prince Elrohir of the High Elven Kingdom, and King Garoldth at his side they are preparing to recall the Counsel of the Elves. It is a new beginning for their world and they have every intention of reclaiming the glory the Elven Empire had once enjoyed. Can they do it without the knowledge and talents their people once took for granted? Will the fates smile on the Empire and grant them their fondest wishes?

As Kingdoms begin to come together and they begin to rebuild the world as it was known before the wars the Empire reforms. New Life Mates are brought to light and the Elves begin to question how much has been lost through the millenniums and since the time of the ancients. There is no one who can answer the questions forming in their minds. The library of the ancients, which could give them all the information they need, has been lost and with it the knowledge it holds. Or is it?

A random discovery made in a pile of scrolls. Choices with unforeseen ramifications acted on in haste. It all comes to a head as the Elven world evolves, and a message from the past is carried from Garoldth’s Kingdom into the Elven Empire. It brings the words of an ancient warrior to the attention of the Kings who would rule the Empire. It is a missive from one Warrior King to another. There is no questioning whom the message is from. Only one held the name written within the scroll, and he was King of the Empire when the ancients were at the pinnacle of their power. A King meant to rule over Kings. In the history of the Elven people his name was and still is legend.

LOTHRARIEL, WARRIOR KING OF THE ELVEN EMPIRE

******************

M.A. Abraham has done it again with Return of the Legend, a fabulous story that joins all the leaders from each kingdom together to help bring the Elven Empire back to their original glory.  But it will take a legend from the past to put the pieces together.  It is an excellent and fun story, with almost everyone from previous books participating.  Though at times, I had no idea whom many of the sons belonged to which king. Lol  I do enjoy being able to spend each book with our heroes from the previous books, like Eden, Gabriel, Marious, Serinity, Daroth, Haylo, Tamarak, just to name a few.

All the Kings are still in Daroth’s kingdom, and shortly after scrolls are discovered in the Library of the Ancients, with some read to the Kings; they begin to notice that something has changed.  It seems the veil is dropping, causing deep concern.

Gabriel is the first to sense something coming through veil, and we meet someone from the past, Lothrariel, the Warrior King of the Elven Empire from long long ago.  But he is alive, and with his brother, they pass through the veil and join the Kings.  The story focuses on how Lothrariel wrote some of those scrolls to protect all from the then rising demon attacks.  Now that after all these years, the demons have for the most part been defeated, and he comes back to help rebuild the Elven Empire to what it once was.  Together, Lothariel will work with all the kings, but there are some issues that need resolution, including saving Garoldth’s brother being held prisoner for a thousand years by the demons.   The majority of the story revolves around the kings uniting together to share the knowledge to restore the lands to its previous glory, as well as coming up with a plan for rescue.

As is Abraham’s trademark, these books are lots of fun, as more of the young sons of the kings are finding their mates.  With the successful spell by Eden a couple of books ago, Daroth’s elves are all having children and the land is becoming more prosperous.   Each of the Kings want Eden, Tamarak to come to their lands to enact the spell, so their people will start producing children, which has been missing for years.

The story ends well, but also opens the door for Lothariel to be a main part of the next book in this series.   As I noted above, M.A. Abraham writes a wonderful light story of elves, with romance, action, and just plain fun.  Return of the Legend continues this trend.

Rule Breaker (Breeds #29) by Lora Leigh-a review and giveaway

Rule Breaker (Breeds #29) by Lora Leigh-a review and giveaway

Rule Breaker
A Novel of the Breeds #29
by Lora Leigh
Genre: paranormal, adult, erotica
Release Date: February 4, 2014

Rule Breaker Feb 14

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO / The Book Depository

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 4, 2014

Lion Breed, Rule Breaker had just a few rules he didn’t break. Not for anything. Not for anyone.

#1. Never have sex with a woman outside his own subspecies, especially a human woman.

#2. Never, at any time, accept a mission concerning a female when Jonas Wyatt stinks of a lie.

#3. Run don’t walk, skip or stumble. Run, hell for leather away from any female, human or breed, when his desire for her appears, in any way, to have so much as a single sign of Mating Heat.

Now, the woman believes he’s mated, is too helpless, to fun loving and too full of life to ever be able to protect herself, let alone aide him in protecting her.

If the damned animal inside him insisted on a mate, then why pick the woman it did? One that could be struck out at, at any time?

But, what he suspected was a mating, may not be. No swollen glands? No heat? Just his animal instincts rioting, pacing, irritated whenever he’s away from her.

Okay, he could handle that.

What ensues is a fiery affair that breaks all the rules of mating heat and will eventually endanger his mate with the very rules designed to protect the breeds when Jonas learns she’s possibly been working against them.

••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: RULE BREAKER is the twenty-ninth instalment in Lora Leigh’s paranormal Breed series focusing on a government experiment that went horribly wrong. Trying to create the ultimate warrior, the scientists combined animal DNA with human embryos resulting in a species that has been feared and tortured since their inception. Hoping to prevent their exposure, the Breeds are hunted, tortured and destroyed by the very people who created them. This is Rule Breaker and Gypsy McQuade’s story.

The call to mate is strong but every once in awhile there are those who refuse to acknowledge the existence of the ONE. Rule knows that Gypsy McQuade is his mate but refuses to stake a claim fearing that he should risk her life and her heart. What ensues is a storyline of one man who cannot stay away from the call of his mate but a storyline where his mate is the number one suspect in an act of betrayal against the Breeds.

With the release of RULE BREAKER Lora Leigh has addressed and answered many of the previous unknowns, quandaries and unfinished storylines. The buildup of a betrayer and the fight to save a young child’s life will come full circle as the reader is pulled into a struggle between family and friends. We are witness to a woman who knows rejection and betrayal at the hands of those that she loves but the pain only intensifies when the truth about her brother’s death and her family’s connections slowly destroy a heart that was broken so many years before.

Once again, Lora gathers many of the previous storyline characters as questions are answered and mysteries are solved. We watch as a father fears for the life of child and mate while another family begins to break apart when the truth is finally revealed.

RULE BREAKER is a must read for fans of Lora Leigh’s Breed series as a number of unfinished scenarios are addressed and the healing process can begin. Lora’s signature style of erotic sex and mating heat is tempered by a slow build up of the relationship between our leading couple. There is a heartbreaking period where you will feel the pain and humiliation for a woman who only wants to be loved but in the end it is the fear of loss and the unknown that will force a Breed male to reject the woman that he loves-even Breed men need a lesson in how to treat their mates!
