Hey Ladies… Wow!!! What a week we had last week!!! Thanks for all of your support and help and input!! I am glad that I got to share my love for an author with you guys!!! I can’t wait to do it again!!!
But for now… while I was out doing my normal grocery shopping on Sundays.. and since it was all about the contests and Devereux… what he did not know… was that I was out hunting for new men… And let me tell you something… did I find myself in a hell of a situation with all of them calling my name!!!! So, without waiting any further waiting… these are the men that came home with me!!!!
This is in no particular order…
If you click on the authors name… it will take you to their website…
If you click on the name of the book… it will take you to either an excerpt of the book or the authors page of the book…
If you click on my Friends name… it will take to you their place… which I hope you check out…
And if you click on their Review… guess what… yea, it will take to you their review of the book!
Until I become tech savy…. yea right… the links go directly to that page.. I do not know how to make it open in a new page for you… if anyone does, i would appreciate the help!!!
I now own the first three of the series!! I already had Lover Awakened by JR Ward… so I had to have the first two!!! I won’t put a blurh about this one… why… because you guys have read it before or have been to VampFanGirl‘s web site to know what they are about LOL!!!!
Now this little find was interesting… This is a new author for me Dakota Cassidy.
From Booklist: Cassidy, a prolific author of erotica, has ventured into MaryJanice Davidson territory with a humorous, sexy tale of cosmetics saleswoman Marty Andrews. She is so obsessed with her career that she has no friends and no boyfriend. But one evening her teacup poodle goes berserk and attacks a huge dog, and Marty is bitten. Her color palette is no longer flattering, and her legs start growing hair like crazy. Then hunky Keegan Flaherty shows up and apologizes for turning her into a werewolf while in his wolfish form. Turns out he is CEO of Pack Cosmetics and alpha of his werewolf pack. As Marty tries to come to terms with her bizarre new state, her lust for Keegan, and her derailed career, she finds love, danger, friends, family, and the ability to swear like a drunken sailor. –Diana Tixier Herald
I won this book over at Darque Review’s. For the time begin… it is ARC!! It is set to come out in June… This is from Lilith St Crow’s site:
Alone, terrified, and trapped in an icy town, Dru’s going to need every inch of her wit and training to stay alive. Can she trust the boy who is just a little too adult–and just happens to get bit by a werwulf? Or the strange blue-eyed boy who tells her she’s heir to a long-forgotten power? Can she even trust her own instincts?
Because Dru is not the first in her family to be killed by the darkness of the Real World. The monsters have decided to hunt back–and now Dru has to figure out who to trust, who to fight, and when to run. And not incidentally, she has to figure out how she’s going to get out of this alive.
And she has to do it by sundown, or it’s all over…
Then, thanks to Lea @ Closetwriter (Lea’s Review) … and thanks to Beth Kery… I HAD to get this one, Daring Times… I could not find Wicked Burn at Borders… so I got this one…
I won this one from Blanche’s place (Blanche’s Review)!!! I read her review and fell in love with this one!!!! On The Prowl by Crystal Jordan…. and OMG!!
Now, I never did get around to posting a review for Sexy Devils, because as soon as I finished reading it, we went into the contest… So, I guess I will just have to re-read that one (damn **dirty wink*)… but I am loving up Sasha White’s writing style. She has a thing for quick erotic!
We will see if that is the case with Wicked!!
This one I bought because it sounded like a fun read!!! And it is a Southern story… and if you know I am from Louisiana… I had to get this one. Kimberly Frost’s Would-Be Witch!
I saw this one and had to pick it up… It was calling my name… At least for now… this is the last one in the series so far…. So maybe if I can hurry and collect all of them…. I can finally get to read this one!!! LOL! You’re So Vein by Christine Warren…

/ May 28, 2009This is an amazing list! You’re in for a few weeks of good reading at least with those. I’m never sure if I should hug or curse the marketing people who come off with those 40% off or 3-for-the-price-of-2 ebates :-DDD I’m especially glad you are going to read the first 3 BDB books as this is my personal favorite series – I was less thrilled by the last installments, but books 1-4 are among the best I have read in any genre and hands down, the most addictive novels I have EVER read. I can finish one of those books and go immediately back to page one to read it all over again. I’ve done it quite a few times :-DD
