Joint review with Sophia originally posted on Fiction Vixen. Book Chat with Catherine and Sophia – Talk Me Down by Victoria Dahl Today Catherine and I a Joint review with Sophia originally posted on Fiction Vixen. Book Chat with Catherine and Sophia – Talk Me Down by Victoria Dahl Today Catherine and I are chatting about Talk Me Down by Victoria Dahl. Since this is a book chat the following may be considered slightly spoilery. We’ve tried not to reveal anything key that would ruin the book for anybody, but everyone has a different opinion about what a spoiler is so keep that in mind if you decide to read any further. Molly Jennings is a best selling erotic romance author. The problem is no one in her life knows. She writes under a pen name and because her first sale was based on an encounter she had as a teenager with her brother’s best friend Ben Lawson, and because she feels her family wouldn’t approve of what she does, she has kept her career a secret. When her aunt dies and leaves her home in Colorado to Molly she decides it’s time to head back to her roots and try to get her head clear after breaking up with a controlling boyfriend and maybe get her writing mojo back in the process. Molly has every intention of reconnecting with her teenager crush Ben Lawson and possibly making that years-ago “almost” encounter a reality. But the minute she arrived in town the rumors and gossip start flying and conservative Police Chief Lawson is right in the thick of it. He’ll do anything to avoid scandal and since Molly won’t even tell him what she does for a living he is hesitant to take the plunge into a more serious relationship with her. Then there’s the ex-boyfriend Cameron who just doesn’t seem to realize he is the EX-boyfriend. He just won’t get a clue! Cameron has made it his mission to integrate himself into Molly’s life even though she’s made it clear they are over. But when strange things start happening Molly can’t help but suspect that he could have something to do with it. Let’s Discuss: Sophia: Okay Catherine, let’s start by talking about Molly. What were your impressions and over all feelings about her? Catherine: Ah, Molly… She’s definitely my kind of girl. She’s in touch with her sexuality and knows what she wants. I loved that she was the aggressor and Ben was the shy guy trying to resist her. It was adorable. I also loved Dahl for giving Molly a friend like Lori. Their interactions together were hilarious. The only real problem with her I had was her attitude toward her job and toward her ex-boyfriend. One I thought she was taking too seriously and the other I didn’t think she took seriously enough. Sophia: I agree, I really liked that Molly was so comfortable in her sexuality without being over the top and in your face. I found it very refreshing and fun. I think the scene where she’d had too much to drink and was getting frisky with Ben in the squad car was hilarious. (sirens were involved people) I also thought that at first she was being a little ridiculous about hiding her profession from her friends and family. But as the story went on I realized it was more about keeping up with the lie and not as much about what people would think. Sure she was worried about how it could affect Ben, and what her family would say etc, but once the mystery of her profession became a really big deal she seemed more determined than ever to hold on to that little piece of herself that was just hers. I’m not sure what this says about me but I enjoyed watching as her stubbornness battled with the snowball effect of the lie. You mentioned Ben and his shy guy persona. I really liked that Molly had the advantage when they reconnected after all those years apart. We see so many alpha males spewing tons of arrogance around in the romance genre and I loved that he was a little embarrassed and humbled by what transpired between them years ago. He’s still a sexy stud but he pulled it off without all the posturing. What did you think of Ben? Catherine: I loved that scene! How mortifying for them both! I laughed when she reflected on it later and concluded that she had used him to masturbate herself. LOL. I never thought that her sexuality was over the top–indeed, it was quite refreshingly upfront–but I did get a little irritated later when she kept distracting him with sex to keep from having to talk and potentially reveal her secret. I think you’re right about her reasons for hiding her job, but it still wore a little thin for me. I can see why she would hide it from her parents, but from her friends? I guess once she started hiding it she had a hard time being open about it. Speaking of her parents, that scene where she talked to her mom and her mom admitted to being friendly with the ex-boyfriend after they had broken up shocked me. That, added to their reverence for the golden boy, Quinn, left me with a less than positive view of them. I really liked that Molly had the advantage too. I love darker heroes, but there’s something about the awkward, adorably straight-laced boys that tug at my heart. I loved watching Molly blow into his world and shake it up and laughed at his response to the schoolgirl outfit when she was out playing pool. It was so adorable. The scene in Molly’s kitchen where she brings up their past was absolutely hilarious. I wish I could quote it so everyone could see the humor, but it’s way too long for this. Regardless, it was an excellent scene and really illustrated their relationship well. I loved Ben and cracked up at all the jobs he came up with when trying to figure out Molly’s occupation. They were out there, but I can see why he was getting crazy with it. Who is that determined to keep their job a secret if it’s not shameful or illegal? Although I loved him in the beginning, I was less impressed with him toward the end. His first instinct was always to blame the situation on Molly and that did not endear him to me at all. Did that bother you too? Sophia: I’m glad you brought up the parents and I completely agree with you. I find it frustrating how authors vilify parents in romance so often. It seems the heroine must have either horrible or no parents and it gets old. I want decent parents in romance darn it! I did get annoyed with Ben for blaming Molly but then again she didn’t give him a lot to cling to in the trust department. I probably would have had less respect for him for trusting her blindly when she was so secretive. I’m all for trusting the one you love but you’ve got the throw a guy a bone here and there. We can’t really get too into it here without revealing big spoilers, but there was a little plot twist near the end that I sort of saw coming, but not completely, involving Cameron. What I will say is I was surprised at how quickly and easily it all wrapped up. Cameron was a very clever man so this little twist didn’t seem likely to me. It was just too easy. Do you agree? Catherine: I’ve gotten a little tired of the villainized parents as well. I know it’s an easy way to provide depth, but can we get a little grey to it? I’m tired of them being all bad. I’d like to see issues born of a more complex relationship. Like I’m sure Quinn, the golden boy brother, has with the parents. They were good to him, but resentment must have been there when he saw the sister he loved getting shafted. You’re right about Ben, I know. It was just hard to read him blaming Molly multiple times for things that weren’t her fault. It’s like he knew he couldn’t trust her in one respect so he refused to trust her in any situation. I got tired of it. But I got really tired of Molly lying as well… So I guess you could say I got tired of them both for being so ridiculous. :) I was really surprised by how easily it was solved too. I knew that one of the people involved would go down easily (and wow, Ben was completely blind about this situation) but I expected more from Cameron. It almost made it seem a little silly with how easily it wrapped up. Speaking of Cameron, I’m very glad you brought him up. His character really made me think. Regular stalkers are scary as is, but I think his brand of it is even more horrifying. I can’t imagine anything worse than someone taking over your life. He took her friends, her family, her potential lovers and won them all over. They all turned against her and tried to convince her to get back together with him. *shudder* Horrifying. Sophia: Yes! Molly said Cameron seduced her boyfriends, family and friends and that is so true. He made her look totally crazy and the more she protested the crazier she looked. I think Cameron was a very effective villain. Catherine: Before we wrap this up I wanted to touch on one more thing. We’ve both talked about the hilarious situations and Molly being upfront with her sexuality, but I wanted to go a bit more into that. Specifically on how much they added to the story. I think the effortless humor in Dahl’s writing is one of the things that makes me like her so much. Her contemporary books are always so funny without being over the top. And her sex scenes are hot! Those are two things that were particularly well done here. What do you think? Sophia: Effortless humor, that is exactly it, you nailed it. Sometimes characters seem like they are trying to be funny but Dahl creates characters that just are funny, period. Although her heroes and heroines are not perfect, I feel like I’d like to be friends and hang out with them. I’m just starting the next book in the Tumble Creek Series and I think I like Molly even more in that book. Her friendship with Lori is great and they have such good “friendship” chemistry between them. Overall I really enjoyed this light, sexy contemporary romance. Molly and Ben were great, the sexy scenes were smoking hot and the mystery and suspense played out well except for a little disappointment in the conclusion. As I said, I’m already starting the next book and I can’t wait to see what happens with Quinn and Lori. I give Talk Me Down by Victoria Dahl 4 hearts. Catherine: I really enjoyed this one as well. The writing, humor, and characters all combined into a very fun book. I got a little frustrated with the characters toward the end and I wish the suspense wouldn’t have resolved so easily, but overall it was a great start to the Tumble Creek trilogy. I give Talk Me Down 3.5 hearts. Sophia’s Favorite Quote: “I wouldn’t yell fire at that slime ball if his ass was in flames.” Catherine’s Favorite Quote: Lori sat way back in her chair and gave him the once-over. “What in the world’s gotten into Ben Lawson? Jokes? Flirting? Maybe I should sleep with Molly. I think she’s got a magic hooha.”...more |

4.5 Stars This book was so much fun! I had heard mixed things from various friends, but it seemed fun enough that I had to try it out despite not being 4.5 Stars This book was so much fun! I had heard mixed things from various friends, but it seemed fun enough that I had to try it out despite not being a huge fan of contemporaries. I'm so glad I did! The book was fast paced, action packed, and sexy and hilarious to boot. That combination usually works well for me in action movies, but it also thrilled me here. This was like one of my favorite action-comedy movies but with more focus on the hero and heroine's attraction and feelings. Especially the hero. His memories about his feelings for her when they were kids really added a nice touch. The story gets going and it just doesn't stop. Things happen in a very short amount of time, but I (surprisingly) didn't feel shortchanged on Quinn and Regan's relationship. I think it was because the author did such a great job establishing the past feelings they had for each other, especially on Quinn's part. His voice made him extremely easy to like. He's sexy and fun, but he's also a total sweetie. It's no secret that he's a romantic underneath it all. He was totally gone on her and it was so sweet that he used to be so nervous around her. It was also cute that they both had fantasies about each other for years. Him with his yen for girls in white socks and her with her secret poster of him. Adorable. I loved the idea of the organization Quinn worked for. I also loved that they were all so into their cars and named them. It reminded me a bit of Nicholas Cage's character in Gone in 60 Seconds. The secondary characters also popped as well. The pov switches back and forth throughout the story but I didn't feel a lack because of it. Kid and Nikki were excellent to read about. I really hope that they are revisited in the future because they were great together. Kid's reaction to Nikki and her art was hilarious. He was so awkward and adorable at times that he melted me. There was one odd part with Hawkins and something he did that kind of perplexed me, but I was able to shake it off and continue enjoying the story. There was also one regrettable instance where a character pulled a dumb move in an otherwise dumb move free book. But those were really slight issues in my overall enjoyment. I hope the second book is just as good and I can't wait to read it! ...more |

I don't think I have ever run across an author quite like Jennifer Ashley. If I have, the name isn't coming to mind right now. She has the ability to make each of her series feel totally different from the others. Now, this can be a definite detriment if you love the way she wrote a certain series and go looking to her backlist hoping for other books in the same style... But if you like your authors to keep trying new things and surprising you, it will be a good thing. This book was a very surprising mix of lighthearted and darkness. It was fun and campy and sexy, but then a certain someone would turn around and do something crazy! Woah! I was certainly surprised! I had a lot of fun reading this book. I giggled so much over Alexandra's list. I loved whenever it was brought up because Grayson always got a little silly and territorial over it. I liked that Alexandra was willing to play, but was still serious about her future. She was sensible and didn't forgo asking a question just because the answer may not be something she liked. I loved that she flat out asked him why he wanted to be the highest rated on the list. She didn't just ignore it and then stew and whine over it later. How refreshing! The characters were all so hilarious, and the high jinks they got up to had me laughing out loud. I loved watching Alexandra torture Grayson's crew! It was such a nice way to get revenge. I loved poor Mr. Henderson. He kept doing these things that made you really want to dislike him, but I couldn't. He was just too nice about the whole thing. There was one part where someone runs into a fight stark naked armed with a cutlass. It was in the middle of a soiree! Ladies were fainting left and right as he danced around butt naked. It cracked me up. The only thing that was lacking for me was the beginning part of Alexandra and Grayson's relationship. I just felt like we skipped over the "getting to know you" part. I liked the relationship, but it felt a bit thin. A little more foundation would have been nice. I also found the surprise reveal with a certain character out of the blue. It seemed extremely convenient that all the bad blood would be that character's fault. I still think Grayson was in the wrong in the beginning. He should apologize! Now, on to the villain. This guy was a trip! I couldn't tell if he was insane or not. Or if his people liked him or not. Was he a bad guy? Was this all some elaborate plot where he was just torturing them? He reminded me a bit of Jack Sparrow. That guy had hidden motives everywhere and you couldn't tell if he really liked anyone he hung out with, with the way he seemed to throw them under the bus... That was Ardmore all over. He was the part that seemed so surprising in such a light book. That man did some bad things! He wasn't just full of hot air and bluster, he would jack you up if you crossed him! I'm really interested in seeing Ardmore in the next book. How exactly will the author redeem him? I can't wait to find out! ...more |

I read the first two books in this series last year and didn’t plan to continue, despite already owning this book. I found the second book too different from Soulless in pacing and character development. Added to that, I was very unhappy with the hero’s behavior at the end of Changeless and couldn’t imagine being able to fall into his character again and enjoy their relationship. Too many burned bridges, you know? But all that changed recently. Lately, I’ve been using audiobooks to pass the time while cleaning. I got the recommendation to try Soulless as an audiobook, so I did. It was FAB-U-LOUS. The narrator completely nailed Alexia and the humor of the book. I found myself falling in love with it all over again. I grabbed the audio version of Changeless, too, despite not being thrilled with it last time. It was a completely different experience hearing the story through that narrator. It was so much more enjoyable than before! I was still completely unhappy with the end, but my enjoyment of the books made me willing to finally pick up Blameless. Unfortunately, I should have just gone with my first instinct and not read it. It’s quite possible that I might have enjoyed it more as an audiobook, since half of my enjoyment there stems from the narrator's delivery of the text, but I’m not willing to waste my time testing that theory. I couldn’t believe how much less I enjoyed Lord Maccon here. If I was happier with the ongoing storyline I would probably continue the series, but I’m not pleased at all, so I give up. The humor and fun characters still had me grinning, so I have definite plans to try out this author’s next series. I love her writing style here, it fits me to a T. It’s just the main storyline I have no interest in following. My favorite part of the book was all the side characters. Alexia’s friends were just as fun as ever. Ivy is not nearly the ninny she was cast as in the last book, and Madame Lefoux was as intriguing as ever. It was great to see more of them. I absolutely adored seeing Professor Lyall given more depth this time around and was surprised, but pleased, by the developments with Lord Akeldama and Biffy. Because Lord Maccon spent almost all of the book drunk and pitiful, the POV’s we would have normally seen from him were given to Lyall. We got a peek inside his head and got to watch him struggle to clean up the mess that Conall left him. I really do love his character. Alexia was entertaining, as always. I don’t think that I could ever manage to not enjoy her wit. I enjoyed watching her struggle to find any enjoyment in being pregnant in her situation and I totally understood her flip flopping feelings for her husband. It was only when you bring Conall into the situation that my mood dips. He crossed the line in a big way at the end of Changeless, but this book never even attempts to satisfy the reader with a good grovel. I found the situation hilarious—Lyall stuck trying to keep Conall off the sauce—but I didn’t enjoy Conall’s part of it. I found him absolutely pitiful. And not in a cute way. He was drunk and wallowing in almost every scene we saw with him. Alexia and Conall spent only handful of pages together, and (view spoiler)[when it finally comes time for him to step up to the plate and make it up to his wife, he doesn’t have to. Alexia requires no persuasion to come back to him. He doesn’t have to do anything to make up for implying she was a whore, kicking her out, and leaving her to fend for herself while everyone and their brother tried to kill her. WTF??? To say it was unsatisfying is an understatement. (hide spoiler)] Although I did like parts of this book, there was a big fat alpha werewolf shaped area that I disliked. One of the main reasons I loved Soulless so much was the delightful connection between Alexia and Conall. I just can’t continue without it. ...more |

This book was a lot of fun in the beginning. The style of it really reminded me of Shelly Laurenston. The plot was fluffy and the book's focus was firmly fixed on comedy and sex. Good times! But it didn't keep its lighthearted tone. Once the mate business stopped being a secret I felt it lost a lot of its humor. Graham starts out this book as a player who has gotten bored with the game. While trying to deny that he has a problem he spots a butt designed to make a man fall to his knees and worship. She literally runs into him and he's shocked to discover his mate, smelling like a delicious sugar cookie. The next thing you know, Graham has turned into a drooling idiot. All he wants to do is mate with Missy. The further into foreplay they get, the farther he descends into caveman speak. You sexy. So hot. Taste. Nom nom. It was pretty funny and cute. Afterward, Graham has to charm Missy into staying with him longer. He'd rather she just move in right away, but Missy doesn't seem to respond to his suggestions about it very well. Poor Graham has to try to think like a human male to figure out how to get her to stick around. This book was cute! At times Missy's insecurities got old, and I feel sorry for her if those are her best friends, but overall it was good. I didn't like that what Graham did after he discovered a new smell on her, but it's Missy's fault too. She really should have been thinking about that. But then things started to get odd. All of a sudden there's creepy talk about a materun. I think the description of it that Graham gave Missy was supposed to come off as hot and thrilling, but I got stuck on disturbed. The whole hunt situation just seemed really horrible. I actually put down the book and picked up a new one because I was afraid I would hate the aggression of the hunt and subsequent mating. Surprisingly, the materun was really tame! After all the smack talk, Missy got off easy. The only really weird thing was that ***SPOILER*** Graham had sex with Missy in his werewolf form. That was odd enough, but then to lick all over her back as foreplay... That was so not sexy with a dog head. The author had even referred to another werewolf as having his "tongue lolling" and "panting." That spells dog to me. There's no way I plan to let a dog's tongue slurp on me during foreplay! ***END SPOILERS*** So if that end part hadn't been there I would have probably given it four stars. That's where It was headed to. But it dropped my enjoyment so much, and it changed the whole to of the book for me, so 3 stars! ...more |

I closed this book with a happy sigh. I had so much fun reading this! I have to admit something... I am a total sucker for snappy dialogue. I love banter, and if I end up constantly giggling over the snappy exchanges, chances are it's going to be a winner for me. That's exactly the case here. Sophie is an extremely lucky person. Unfortunately for her, that luck can be either good or bad. Sophie lives a life of checks and balances. For every good thing that happens to her, a bad thing is waiting in the wings. This was pretty funny in the beginning, Sophie really did seem to be disaster prone at times. It also eventually led to my biggest problem with her, but I'll get into that later. Alex ends up with an assignment that puts him in frequent contact with Sophie. When helping Sophie after a brush with her brand of bad luck, Alex seems to fall flat on his face and never recover. He doesn't fall in love, but he falls headlong into attraction and can't seem to extract himself. No matter how many times he tells himself he's making a fool out of himself over her, he can't seem to resist chasing after her for more. The focus in this story is very firmly on Sophie and Alex. They spend a large majority of the book together. I adored that aspect of the book. It really seemed like Alex and Sophie became familiar and comfortable with each other long before they fell in love. The side characters in this book popped. Every time Whit was present, I have to admit he stole the show for me. He was extremely funny, and totally on to his friend's lunatic behavior toward Sophie. I loved seeing his interactions with Mirabelle! I am a sucker for frenemy stories, so I cannot wait to get a chance to read theirs! If you're looking for a spy book, this is not for you. That plot point is very weak, and pretty easily abandoned. I was fine with that though, because I saw right away what was going on with those "missions." Because of that, I knew that there wouldn't be much focus on the spy thing, except when it served the plot. I was pleased that all my suppositions about that convoluted farce turned out to be correct in the end. The things that bothered me cropped up toward the end. I liked Sophie's good luck vs. bad luck philosophy until she turned neurotic over "luck" and "fate." It seemed to come out of nowhere, at least to that degree. I found it really irritating and wish it would have been dealt with earlier. I appreciated the fact that Alex didn't just blow off her concerns, he actually tried to find a solution within the bounds of her irritating neurosis. I was also really irritated by a fear that cropped up out of nowhere near the end. What point did that really serve? The story and the relationship was going along exceedingly well (to my mind at least) without some past angst showing up just because. It was very intrusive and very unwelcome. If that would have been left out I would have been an extremely happy camper. But even with those few irritants, I still really enjoyed the book and will definitely reread. How can I not want to laugh again over all the hilarious situations that develop whenever they try to kiss? Those cracked me up!!! I cannot wait to read more of this series! ...more |

Once again this author has had me laughing so hard I'm practically rolling on the floor. The constant hilarity, the one liners, and the sheer craziness of this family of dragons cracks me up! The over the top zaniness of the dragons and their antics is a nice change of pace from my regular reading. Every once in a while I just want to sit down with a book that is meant to be pure entertainment. I want to howl with laughter and torture my husband by reading scenes to him. This series fits the bill for me consistently. Talaith is having a pretty rough day. First she gets dragged out of bed in the middle of the night by an angry town determined to kill her for being a witch, and then she gets saved by a dragon! She's stuck flying around with a tail holding her expecting to eventually be eaten. Imagine her surprise when it turns out the silver dragon is actually Briec the Mighty (no he did not give himself that name). Briec has noticed that his brother, Fearghus, seems especially happy these days. Briec has concluded that it must have something to do with his human mate, and he decides he needs to try one out too. Briec has always been rather aloof from humans. They're pretty far beneath his notice and really good for nothing more than hunting. Not that he's hunting any these days, Fearghus hooking up with Annwyl changed all that. So, Briec sees Talaith, rescues her, and now considers her his. Briec and Talaith have a very fun relationship. Talaith is opinionated and cranky, and enjoys nothing so much as arguing constantly. She's also an incessant talker, which drives Briec insane. Briec is insanely arrogant and believes that the world was created to cater to him. He is very frustrated by Talaith and her refusal to heed his demands. These two bicker and lust and have hilarious dialogue constantly. The fact that both of them get turned on by their arguing is a definite plus for them. I cracked up watching them invent reasons to get mad at each other. Just so they could make up, of course. :) I loved watching Briec try to justify keeping her to himself. He couldn't promise her forever, just two hundred years, okay, maybe three hundred. Alright, five hundred, but that was it! But it's not forever! LOL! The fact that he didn't let Talaith in on his couple hundred years plan led to a very cranky situation for Briec. I also liked seeing the day after the crazy moon. It was quite amusing watching everyone crawl around. I also really enjoyed watching Talaith get over her fear of Briec (or any of his family) in dragon form. The scene where Briec makes her touch his fangs is particularly hilarious. This is the book that really solidified my love for Gwenvael. How can I not love the little horn dog? Every time I turned around he was trying to spy on them or flirt with Talaith. I loved how confused he was that everyone kept hitting him! I need to reread his story again. ...more |

This was a very refreshing change of pace for me. I'm not a big contemporary reader, but when I heard a new contemporary Victoria Dahl was released I just had to have it. Max was so adorable. I just wanted to grab him and cuddle him. I loved the scene where he was busted by Chloe! He was such a faker. Everyone thought he was such a bad boy because he always hooked up with "bad" girls and had an adventurous life. No one ever saw how he joked and laughed and flirted his way into getting people to do what he wanted. And what did he want? Safety for everyone! He couldn't stop involving himself in dangerous situations because he felt responsible for everyone's safety. The facts about danger that he knew were hilarious. Especially the one about sand tunnels. I thought it was cute, but sad that he was so afraid to be a father because he knew he'd be the worst type of freak with his kid. I'm so glad that Chloe was so accepting of Max. Yeah, she kept calling him a freak, but she thought it was cute too. When we first meet Chloe, we learn about the recent scandal, but she seems really together about it. I'm glad that we got to see her vulnerability about the situation later in the book. Being stalked like that would give anyone issues. I don't blame her for wanting to pretend she was normal. What a horrible situation to find yourself in, especially when none of it was your fault. I felt so bad for her when she started to analyze her previous actions because of her reputation. Even though I could see Chloe's side, I could also see Max's side. I know that was a nightmare to him when he finally thought he had escaped his bad habits. I really appreciated getting a hard look at his feelings on the issue. Even though some of them were hard to take I'm glad we got to see them. I could really appreciate what a vicious cycle he was part of. The best part was Chloe realizing exactly what role she started playing in his life the minute he found out about her. I loved the conflict she had about wanting to be that girl he helped and hating it too. I was so glad the situation turned out how it did. I am not usually a fan of books that take place in a short amount of time. I don't enjoy watching them fall into bed quickly. Having said that, I have to admit that I was totally sold on it with this book. I felt that the time line was perfect and the feelings following that time line didn't outpace it. I liked the little side relationship we got to see. I was really nervous about the hints we were getting about Jenn. I wasn't disappointed with how it turned out, but I've got to admit Jenn was a piece of work. The scene where Jenn bursts into tears - It was so horrifying, but so hilarious! It was like watching a train wreck! If you're looking for something fun, but still complicated, I recommend picking up this book. *One last thing: I really preferred the covers on this author's other contemporaries. I always recognized her work, the covers were distinctive. This cover was a bit of a shock to me, and I'm still not sure it I like it.* ...more |

Alexis has come to Ethan Carrick's casino to pry her sister from his life. Her sister, Brittany, has left her career and home to come be his arm candy
Alexis has come to Ethan Carrick's casino to pry her sister from his life. Her sister, Brittany, has left her career and home to come be his arm candy. Alexia knows that he has brainwashed her sister, so she's ready to do anything necessary to remove her. That includes acting in a manner that would get most people arrested. That right there is when I started to get a bad feeling about this book. Alexis is some awesome prosecuting attorney, but she barges into the situation with the subtlety of a brick upside the head. I guess she was cast as an attorney to make her look smart without having to actually act smart. This book had some cute moments, especially in the beginning. It wasn't really Alexis that was funny though. She was brash and irritating. It was Ethan's reaction to her comments that was cute. Apparently no one has ever, in all his 900 years, thought he wasn't hot. So, watching him puff up with pride and offended male dignity was cute. But, as soon as he decided there were feelings involved in his desire to seduce Alexis he stopped being funny. He turned into someone who would rub noses with you and coo. Brittany, the sister, was dumb. She wasn't cute and kind of dim, she was just dumb. She also didn't seem to be bothered by anything. You want to control her mind and kidnap her? No biggie, it's cool. She finds out you're a vampire - that's cool, how about I save you from your horrible existence. Every encounter was like that. It was really weird. What was up with the French vampire? Did he really have to talk like that to convey he was French? Those "ze" and "iz" and "zat" expressions were really irritating. Alexis made a comment when rejecting vampirism that I found really odd. She said she couldn't continue her work or see Brittany's future kids if she was a vampire. Why exactly was she excluded from doing those things if she was a vampire? The way vampires are written in these books there's nothing holding them back from any of that. They can move around in sunlight and they don't have to sleep at night. She knows this, she hung out with Ethan outside during the day. I just thought it was weird. My biggest problem with this book was the fact that they fell in love with each other. This book took place in what, a week or two? In that short time they've found true love and are going to live together for the rest of eternity? Does that strike anyone else as rushing things? If this book would have ended with them wanting to see where their relationship was going I would have found it a lot more believable. I thought the ending was really weird. There's a big crisis that happens really close to the end, but there's no closure in this book. It just...ends. I guess it will be solved in the next book, but I still think it's weird. There was a lot of nothing happening in this book, but when something finally does happen it ends before that can be hashed out. ...more |

I loved this book, it was so funny! It wasn't just the one liners, Charlie's thought processes were hilarious too. Charlie wasn't the only good character either. This author did a great job of creating side characters and making them shine. I loved how some of the sections would start with a National Geographic feel. Instead of describing a wild animal, the author would narrate the habits of the Beta Male. It was really entertaining! I loved the comparisons between Beta Males and Alpha Males. Charlie was a perfect narrator for this story. He was just a regular, neurotic guy trying to do his best to raise his daughter and deal with his new job. He's not over his wife, and he still isn't over her years down the road. He's a prepare for disaster kind of guy, but he's strong enough to put aside his own worries so his daughter will grow up living life to the fullest. He was such a sweet father. The scenes were funny, but they were also poignant at times. Charlie's sister, Jane, was one of my favorite characters. How can you not love a girl that keeps stealing her brothers suits and then complaining that he needs to gain weight because the butt is too tight? She was funny, but she was also Charlie's rock. She was always there for him and his daughter Sophie. Minty Fresh, Ray, and Lily were also great characters. I didn't really like Lily at first, you'll figure out why when you read the book, but she really grew on me. Her humor and matter of fact acceptance of Charlie really endeared her to me. I loved when she offered to take one for the team for Charlie. Hilarious! I can't recommend this book highly enough. It was great. Go, all of you, read this book! ...more |

When I looked at this series this book wasn't the first one to catch my eye. I actually wanted to read the second book in the series, Bedeviled Angel.
When I looked at this series this book wasn't the first one to catch my eye. I actually wanted to read the second book in the series, Bedeviled Angel. I have a bit of a love affair with angels. Because of my series order OCD I had to read this one first. It was no big deal though, I love dragons too. After reading this one I can safely say that I won't be reading the next book. This author is way too silly and over the top for me. I liked the beginning of the book. It was actually pretty cute. Because English was not Bastien's first language there were lots of hilarious conversations. He takes everything literally and frustrates (but also amuses) McKenna horribly. When being trained how to interact with people he was instructed to say "Okay" whenever he didn't understand anything. It turned out to be pretty funny. I also thought Bastien's thoughts about the "bony females" following him around were cute. His inner thoughts and the terms he used were great. His little helper dragon, Jock, was adorable too. I loved his eagerness to pop smoke. Unfortunately my enjoyment of the book soon turned. I found McKenna to be a little irritating. I do not like women with "hourglass figures" who have annoyingly false insecurities. Bastien was afraid to get naked in front of her, but his fear actually made sense. Also, I just didn't get McKenna. She wears shorts under her dresses because she works on a farm. Why not just wear shorts? Why wear a long dress when doing manual labor? Odd. She's really cutesy and irritating too. She's always referring to Bastien as "buster" and using juvenile replacements for curse words. It just made her seem very unnatural. Even though I had some issues with it, I didn't actually start actively disliking it until around page 180. Bastien had a habit of referring to his penis as his "man lance" or his "dragon lance." It didn't seem odd coming from him though, it really worked for him. I have no clue why, during the first sex scene, McKenna continued the trend. Being a modern female used to the English language I would expect her to have a healthy grasp of the words used to describe sex and the body parts involved in it. I did not expect her to (in all seriousness) refer to his penis as a "dragon lance" and a "magickal jock-sock puppet." What?!? That was really the beginning of the end for me. Everything started to get way too over the top from then on. Jokes that were funny in the beginning became tired and old. You can only use the same joke for so long before it seems like you're beating a dead horse. We know, McKenna's a real woman and all the other skinny bitches are poor creatures. I do have to admit it was funny when he got a tear in his eye after watching models on TV. I got really ticked when Bastien's ability to sense McKenna's pain got used as soapbox trigger for how horrible life is for women. McKenna is down on any man who wants to have sex while she's on her period. Only Bastien, who would never "put her through such discomfort" really understands what it means to be a woman. Then they both lay around for three days babying each other with a heating pad. What? I know McKenna's her own boss, but if she tried to take three days off from a normal job because she was on her period, her butt would be fired. I just dislike books that use things like that to beat down men for not knowing how hard it is to be a woman. Get over it! ***SPOILER*** The prehensile penis thing was really weird for me. When Bastien first made comments about being nervous about not looking like other men I just assumed it would lead to him being abnormally large, which he was. There was another part when they're swimming where she thinks she gets touched by a snake. That just seemed to imply more of the same; he's clown-shoe large. Boy, I didn't know the half of it! His penis is shaped like a dragon tail. The head is referred to as a "spade." It has movable scales underneath the skin and it can move enough to grab things and wrap around her hand because it's eager. Very weird. McKenna's friend, Lizzie, popping out three babies at home in a matter of minutes and then being right as rain seemed fantastical. Also, her family ghosts giving Bastien advice was kind of weird. They didn't strike me as cute or sweet, just an odd plot device. ***END SPOILERS*** Everything in this story seemed skimmed over and hunky dory two seconds later. Even the climax of the story and the ending were ho-hum and silly. It was a very light book with no real depth of plot or character at all. ...more |

**spoiler alert** You know what one of the least attractive traits in a heroine is? Being a doormat. I don't think it's cute to read about someone being too much of a coward to ever stand up for herself. Oh no! I can't stand up for myself. What if they don't like me anymore? Then they won't hang out with me and take advantage of my spineless nature! Her definition of family, friendship, and boyfriend leave a lot to be desired. I think the author was going for "cute and zany", but Jane just came off as really pathetic. In the last book I wasn't that impressed with Zeb. He didn't accept Jane very well (he tried to kill her) but I figured their friendship might be a work in progress while they both adjust to Jane's new vampire status. Nope. He goes from irritating in the last book to an outright ass in this one. Yes, I know that there turns out to be an explanation for his behavior. I get that. That wasn't my problem. What bothered me so much, was that while he was acting like an ass - trying to make moves on Jane, calling Jolene, his fiance, dumb in front of her whole family, etc - no one called him on it! Isn't that what friends do? They give someone a reality check when they start acting like a fool. No one said anything because of course it's just wedding nerves! I'm sorry, but if most marriages started with "wedding nerves" that cause the groom to tell the bride it's a good thing she's cute, because she sure is dumb, there wouldn't be that many marriages. Added to that, he said that at their engagement party in front of her whole family! How is that ok??? Jane's family gets worse every time I have to read about them. I do not think it's cute that Jane, who is almost thirty, still acts like a child around her family. Her grandma hates her, her mom's rules her life, and her sister steals from her and tries to have her killed. But Jane's okay with it, because it's family. Bad family is not better than no family. Why exactly does she stay around her hateful relatives? Move on. Why would you ever think warm thoughts toward someone who expects you to make up with the sister who tried to have you killed? Why do you constantly let everyone walk all over you??? Ugh! You drive me insane Jane! You know how a lot people hate reading about 18-19 year old heroines because they feel too young and immature? You know what's worse than that? A nearly 30 year old woman who is still tied to her mother's apron strings. That's sad, not cute. I think what bothered me most about this book was Gabriel. Now, I don't find him interesting on the best day, but in this book he's even worse. He keeps leaving town on short notice and not answering Jane's call while he's gone. He won't tell her what's going on, and he isn't staying in the places he's said he'd be. Instead of having some respect for herself and questioning Gabriel, Jane just hides her questions and has lots of sex with him while he's in town. She thinks he's cheating on her, she knows a woman is involved, but she's more than happy to give it up while he's here. Pathetic. At one point he asks for more time before he has to tell the truth and she thinks well, he loves me...I owe him something. What kind of attitude is that? You don't owe anyone jack for loving you. He owes you respect if he professes to love you. I wish Adam wouldn't have conveniently turned clingy and crazy. (Very subtle way to make sure Jane gives up her dreams of human Adam and settles for vampire Gabriel. I barely even noticed! Not.) He seemed like a nice guy, and I liked him a lot better than Gabriel. Until the crazy thing of course... ...more |

I read this book on the recommendation of one of my friends, Ridley. I had been telling her of my love for Vere from The Last Hellion, and she said I just had to try this. I'm so glad I did! The book started out a little slow for me. I didn't really get absorbed into the story until Juliet and Lord Swale (or Ginger, as I can't help but think of him) have some heavy page time together. From that point on I was hooked. I can't think of another hero I've read that's quite like Swale. The comparison to Vere that I mentioned above is accurate, but only to a point. Where Vere is obstinate and acts thick on purpose, Swale really is. He's not dumb by any means, but the man does not get subtlety and anything he doesn't have an interest in isn't worth caring about. Shakespeare, I'm referring to you. The biggest similarity between the two books is the witty sparring that the protagonists engage in. Their interactions are what made the book for me. So, let's talk about Swale. He's young, only in his mid-twenties, and has a temper that flares with the least provocation. He doesn't seem to hold a grudge long, but he doesn't have a problem kicking the crap out of someone if they make him mad. He doesn't really care about society and because he gets over his temper quickly, he assumes that everyone does the same thing. He's frankly shocked to think that anyone doesn't like him. He's described as big and ugly with flaming red hair and giant sideburns. He also has a pug nose that doesn't look like it belongs on an aristocrat. This lack in his nose leads to hilarious high jinks to acquire a better one for the family. Juliet is pretty, but nothing special. She's smart and rather hotheaded when riled. She knows she's a girl, but she's constantly confounded by the scrapes she gets into. She's just trying to uphold the family honor like any of her brothers would, you know? Unfortunately for her, the rules for girls are different. It seems like every time she turns around she's broken another rule and in danger of being a pariah. When Swale comes to see her she pulls no punches. She nicknames him Ginger, taunts him, and throws yarn at him. She's prideful, so when she finds out her assumptions were wrong she doesn't apologize. She dances around it with "ifs" and "maybes" until Swale is ready to blow. Every conversation between Juliet and Ginger has a new delight. The dinner scene was particularly hilarious. How can you not love a girl who lights a man's carrots on fire? The miscommunications and drama about the engagement killed me too. I also loved the back and forth over which room Ginger would stay in. I guess what I'm trying to say is I loved the whole book. There were two points which, unfortunately, stood out for me. The first was the use of the phrase "make love." To me, that refers to sex. In this book it refers to courting or wooing. It was extremely startling to read about Juliet's family discussing Ginger's coming to "make love" to Juliet. It kept pulling me out of the story and making me do a double take until I remembered. The character used that phrase all the time . The other point was the sex. If you're looking for a book with a skilled, sensual lover you'll be out of luck here. It didn't detract from the story for me, but be aware that this is not the kind of book where the bumbling hero suddenly morphs into Don Juan. ...more |

This was my least favorite of all the Dragon Kin books. I admit, I wasn't looking forward to reading about Keita in the first place. The appearances she made in the previous books didn't really endear her to me. She came off more like the female characters in the Mangus Pack books - extremely bitchy. Also, that girl got around a lot. Gwenvael got around a lot too, but he came off as sweeter and funnier, and less crass. That made all the difference for me. But, I was still extremely excited to read this book. I love this author's blend of hilarity, action, romance, and sex. She is the only author I've read with a style like this, and I love her campy books that don't take themselves seriously. Her characters are always over the top and you can't help but love them for those qualities. This book was considerably longer than most of the previous books in the series, and there was a lot less focus on the relationship in it. I think that was the problem with the book. This one spent so much time on other events that we never really got any alone time with Keita and Ragnar. Their relationship and interactions seemed to be sprinkled in between interactions with the other characters. We also spent a lot more time in other people's pov's. That's not usually a problem, but it felt intrusive because the main romance was so underdeveloped. When the book ended it felt like their relationship wasn't complete. I wonder if the author has plans to continue their relationship in another book. It really felt more "happy for now" as opposed to "happily ever after." There was no claiming or relationship resolution like in the other books. Keita's resistance to any sort of permanence precluded that. I just felt unsatisfied with it. I can't help but fear she'll one day dump him because everything got too heavy for her. But, if you ignore the relationship this is still classic Aiken/Laurenston. That's why I gave it three stars instead of a lower grade. The humor still pops and the family antics are hilarious. I loved getting to see more of the previous characters. I was very amused by Gwenvael's jealousy over Ragnar. It was cute! I also loved how touchy Briec was about his daughter smiling. Little things like that made this whole book worth it! There was a lot of new developments on the Izzy/Eibhear front. I loved all those scenes! I can't wait until we get to see them in their own book. I was really glad the whole thing developed like that. He needed a reality check that she's not a little girl and she's not waiting around forever. I also hope we get to see more of Ren in the future. I find him very interesting. I can't wait to get my hands on the next one! ...more |

**spoiler alert** This book is kind of hard to rate. I enjoyed it and read it quickly, but I felt kind of let down when I finished it. Jane Jameson is **spoiler alert** This book is kind of hard to rate. I enjoyed it and read it quickly, but I felt kind of let down when I finished it. Jane Jameson is fired from her job as a librarian. After going out and getting drunk she wakes up to find that she's a vampire. The circumstances that lead to her being turned are like none I've ever read. I thought it was hilarious. After she wakes up Jane has to learn how to deal with her new life. There's a lot of funny supporting characters throughout the book. I particularly like her friend, Zeb. I liked that he didn't wholeheartedly embrace her becoming a vampire. I thought it was a lot more authentic that he had to work at not being freaked out by her. I think the most stand out quality of this book is the humor in it. Jane makes for a very hilarious narrator. At times her schtick wore thin and I just wanted her to take things seriously and think. As I was reading I was strongly reminded of Mary Janice Davidson's Undead series and the Lynsay Sands Argeneau Vampires series. Jane is not like Betsy, but the slapstick quality of the humor reminded me of both those series. I really enjoyed the excerpts from The Guide for the Newly Undead. I thought that was a fun way to start each chapter. Even though I enjoyed Jane I also couldn't help but question her intelligence at times. ***Begin Spoilers*** She is being investigated by the Council because they suspect her of killing someone. Instead of going to the Council when bad things start happening to her, she just ignores it. Maybe if only one of those things had occurred I could understand it, but all of them put together should have made Jane conclude that someone has it out for her. Especially when she was shot! But no, she thought it was smarter to just ignore what was happening and hope the council found some other reason why someone put her purse at the crime scene. Also, she felt someone watching her house while these things were happening to her. Shouldn't she have connected the dots and figured out they might be connected? Why didn't she ask her Aunt Jettie (who's usually there anyway) to hang around the house and watch for anything suspicious. If something happened her aunt could have passed on who was doing it. ***End Spoilers*** I didn't really get the attraction between Jane and Gabriel. They had witty banter going on, but he seemed like another Zeb to me. By that I mean just a platonic good friend. I never felt any sexual tension between them. I found the parts that dealt with their attraction to be pretty boring because it truly seemed out of the blue. Why are they hooking up? Because they're both there? I didn't see many other reasons. I did like how Jane was honest about the oddness of some of her actions. Toward the end she has an... encounter with Gabriel that I thought came out of nowhere. It didn't really seem like the ideal reaction to the discussion they were having. I liked that afterward she admitted that it was a stupid reaction and that it didn't change anything. I'll probably read the next one. I'm unsure if I like this series or not, so I figure book 2 will help me decide one way or another. ...more |
