Blurb/Summary:

Melora Merriweather is searching for a fellow witch to protect her from a scheming uncle with plans of marriage. When her carriage overturns on her journey, she is rescued by a mysterious man whom she learns is the very person she seeks. But, he’s not the witch she thought he was…

Sebastian Collins should have left for London days ago. Now a snowstorm has trapped him with a woman who has come seeking protection, a woman who intrigues him like no other. And with each passing hour, his hunger for her grows…hunger for her kiss, her caress, and her blood.

Review:

The Witch and the Vampire was a wonderful story. It is filled with intrigue, mystery, and suspense. This is a great second story in Tricia Schneider’s series. She did a great job of entwining the first and second stories together.

Melora Merriweather is a brave heroine that is looking out for everyone. Sebastian is an honourable hero that takes protecting Melora very seriously. It’s hard not to care for these characters. Tricia Schneider’s writing makes you feel like you are right there living the story.

The secondary characters add twists and turns to the plot. I was unable to put this down until I finished. I needed to know how things would work out between Melora and Sebastian.

This was a very enjoyable read and I would recommend this to any paranormal romance fans.

Blurb/Summary:

When Charlene Johnson’s parents die in a single-car accident, she’s left behind as guardian for her severely disabled older brother. When her father’s death is ruled a suicide she is forced to move to the sleepy rural town of Eden, Kentucky, the very place her mother always warned her about.

From the moment Zack Abingdon sees Charlene, he knows she’s the one. Despite the electrifying bond between them Charlene senses things are not all what they seem. Secrets within secrets unfold, and ultimately Charlene has to make a life and death decision between rejecting her true nature and accepting her place within the wolf pack.

Review:

In the wake of a tragedy, Charlene must stay strong. All around her, things are changing. She now faces the responsibility of caring for her disabled brother, trying to make ends meet, and it doesn't get any better. Some strange people she met at the funeral inform her that she will in time, come to Eden and let them help. Little does Charlene know the secrets moving to Eden will unveil.

Eden is a strange little town, and the people in it. Charlene notices little quirks and things that don't add up. Then, she uncovers her destiny that changes her whole perspective on her past and her future.

Suspenseful and eerie, I found this to be a fairly good read. At times, I found Zack to be a little whiny, and didn't feel his character was fully developed. I did enjoy the bits and pieces the author threw in of the mystery about Charlene's heritage. Kiss Of The Silver Wolf is a short read, but full of secrets, suspense and action.

If you enjoy werewolf stories, then you may enjoy Kiss Of The Silver Wolf.

Blurb/Summary:

Jennifer Hart’s passionate one-night stand with the sexy and irresistible Lucas Wilde goes from wild heat to burning shame when he tells her to put on her clothes and leave. A week later, she’s back at his nightclub, Full Moon, and she can’t deny the powerful attraction ready to ignite, but this time Jen isn’t so willing to succumb.

When Lucas Wilde set eyes on Jennifer Hart, the spark between them was instant and he brought her home for an incredible night of passion. But he was shocked to learn the Lycan legend was true. A werewolf spontaneously transforms into his Lycan form once he makes love to his soul mate. But that’s not the only problem. Before the next full moon, Lucas has to explain to Jennifer that she’s now a werewolf, and that she belongs to him.

Review:

Lycan Love by Anastasia Maltezos was a great quick paced read. I fully enjoyed diving into Jennifer and Luca’s story. The beginning held me captive when the two first met and exploded into white hot passion. I felt for Luca’s situation, that he knew she was for him but hoped he hadn’t passed on his print to her. I could feel the agony of his wait for the moon.

Jennifer tickled me because she wasn’t afraid of what she wanted and she wanted Lucas, but after he left she didn’t back down and call him, she waited. I was half worried when they met again she’d shun him, thankfully lust overwhelms the mind and they found each other again.

What worried me most was the no choice in the matter situation. I hoped when she found out he’d changed her that she wouldn’t be vengeful or angry for too long. I hoped that their passion and chemistry would explode leaving them no option but to go the relationship route and get to know one another regardless of which species they were.

Blurb/Summary:

As the webmistress for one of the Northeast’s hottest dating sites, Hunk Du Jour, Jenny Talbot is no stranger to reading the applications of potential clients. But when the latest application that crosses her inbox belongs to Ty Randall, the guy she broke up with a mere twenty-seven days ago, she does a double take. Reading what Ty wants in bed not only gets Jenny hot, it also makes her rethink ending their relationship. All she longed for was a little more spice in the bedroom—okay, a lot more—but he let her go without an argument. Faced with the possibility that Ty may really be moving on, getting her ex back becomes more appealing than ever. But will revealing exactly what she needs allow Jenny to finally experience ultimate pleasure or will she drive away the man she loves for good?

Review:

A short but pleasurable read. This is Jenny and Ty's story, a couple who broke up nearly a month prior. The two had drifted apart, and Jenny tried different ways to make Ty want and need her again. She comes across his application for the site she works for, and takes matters into her own hands with Ty.

The scorching love scenes will leave you breathless and in need of a cold shower. Cari Quinn is a new to me author, but I won't hesitate to pick up any of her other titles. She writes a tale that will take your breath away and leave you smiling after the last page. I highly enjoyed this! The cover grabs your attention and from the very first page, the reader will be pulled into an emotional and hot tale of making up and working things out.

Blurb/Summary:

Lord Jeremy North's curse is to become a werewolf during every full moon, turning into a bloodthirsty monster that kills with no remorse. When he finds a woman nearly frozen upon his doorstep, his sense of honor compels him to help her, even at the risk he might kill her himself.

Lillian Merriweather hadn't planned to get caught in a blizzard while traveling the English countryside. Nor had she planned on finding refuge in a house full of secrets. But Lillian has secrets of her own. And what she's running from is not far behind...

Review:

The Witch and the Werewolf is a wonderful love story. Tricia Schneider did a fantastic job of making her characters come to life in this short story.

I love the heroine’s name, Lillian Merriweather. It makes you think of sunshine and rainbows. Lillian is a breath of fresh air to Lord Jeremy North.

North has a big secret that his friend Amery helps him hide and deal with as best they can. They remind me of Batman with his Alfred. North and Amery make a fun pair!

As the story progresses, Lillian and Jeremy grow closer through their shared interests and time together. The build up to their love scene makes it powerful and moving, and makes you wish the story was a little longer!

The Witch and the Werewolf grabs you in the beginning and holds you until the end. You will fall in love with the good guys and loath the bad guys. Based on this story, I would check out other creations by Tricia Schneider.
