Blurb/Summary:

Maeja, queen of the Dragonian race, believes in words like duty, control and honor. She will do anything to keep her subjects safe from spying Earth technology. Her captain-at-arms knows now is the time to teach Maeja her beastly passion is not a curse. With her world on the brink of disaster, she must overcome her inhibitions and let lust control her. Taking two dragon warrior men as lovers might be too much change, but more than just her body is undergoing a cataclysmic transformation. Where dragons rule, passion follows.

Review:

Beastly Passion is a thoroughly imaginative and creative story. The cover also reflects this. Renee Field created a wonderful world to get lost in for a while.

Between Maeja, the queen, and her two Dragonbane Warriors, Geirsson and Valdason, the passion was scorching hot. Maeja is a strong and confident female and leader. Maeja’s journey to surrender to her desires and finally be free was a fun read.

As a reader, you learn just enough about Geirsson and Valdason to make you hopeful that they will stay with their queen. The main focus of the story is really on Maeja and what she will do and sacrifice for her people.

Beastly Passion is a well written story that will spark your imagination. The ending was a surprise with a wonderful twist. There is definitely some exploration left to do in this world and I would love to journey with some other characters.

Blurb/Summary:

Book one in the Darklander Lovers series.

Bidding on a masked man at an auction is all for a good cause, but what happens when he turns out to be a vampire who has the power to unleash the wild woman lying dormant inside you?

As a Darklander vampire, Mitch has spent a century living in a bleak world, but all that changes when he sees Tina. The beast living within Mitch wants to stake his claim. Mitch knows taking Tina’s virginity will change her forever, but try explaining that to a woman whose passion cannot be denied. Tina holds the key to his freedom, but Mitch will be damned forever before he turns her over as a slave for his master.

Review:

Be My Vampire Tonight was a good read. The setting with an otherworldly auction drew me to want to read the story. I enjoyed the obstacles that kept both Mitch and Tina from being together in the beginning, her rage at being stood up, his attempt to stave off the inevitable.

The passion when reached was red hot. I got lost a bit when she was no longer a mob bosses human daughter to an otherworldly. While I did enjoy the story the pause I took, going backward to see if I’d missed something pertinent took away the overall effect.

Blurb/Summary:

Book two in the Darklander Lovers series

As a surgeon, Hank is used to working with his hands. Good thing, because those skillful fingers are needed to release the passionate wild cats lying dormant in one tigress of a redheaded woman.

Naughty nurse Nora’s passionate response to her blind date unleashes something untamed within her. The only problem is she doesn’t appreciate her newfound gift. It’s up to Hank to teach her how to embrace her wilder side or they’ll both end up as housecats—a curse worse than death for a proud Darklander werecat.

Review:

Be My Werecat Tonight was a fun read. Once again I dipped into the world of the Darklanders auction house run by a zany witch, Sasha. I was able to look into the personal life of Nora, a healer and nurse. Nora knew she was different with her healing hands and all, but kept the low profile of healing.

When Hank was handed to her on a silver platter via a matchmaking woman, I laughed my ass off. They played the normal relationship of catch me if you can with the addition of some very delicious shape shifting. I also found it hard to separate Hank from the other heroes. I was looking for more personality differences to make him, him.

The story included a goddess and it was interesting to see the history of their species and watch Nora make her final decision.

Blurb/Summary:

Book three in the Darklander Lovers series.

Warlocks in Lance’s family have been cursed for generations. Revenge pumps in his veins along with his drive to succeed in the human corporate world. During a blind date with his coworker, he discovers she’s a witch belonging to the same family who cursed his.

Cindy fought to escape her gray Darklander world to prove herself in the human realm with her business smarts. She dresses down, doesn’t use her magic and is a force to be reckoned with.

Ignoring the sizzling passion her demanding warlock lover evokes in her might prove to be the hardest challenge in her life. But enjoying being controlled in the bedroom doesn’t mean she has to give up all she’s fought for.

Review:

Be My Warlock Tonight is the third in the Darklander stories continued in the auction house. At the same time this story gave me insight into the Darklander land itself with talk of covens, curses and law.

Cindy and Lance both had their work cut out for them. When Cindy found herself bespelled by a warlock, I was intrigued to see what would come of it. From there the story grew in depth, giving answers to the ‘curse’ and the way to break it. Lance and Cindy’s passion rocked. Add a fire breathing drakon and a witch in distress, that isn’t Cindy and it spells trouble, something which Lance wasn’t afraid of tackling. I enjoyed Sasha’s interaction in this story more so since she had more of a hand in it as Lance’s sister.

There were a few things that also drew me away from the story. I would have liked to see more individuality with Lance that set him apart from the other heroes and a smoother ending; it as well felt a bit rushed. I enjoyed the magic in this story and finding out more about the Darklander world with these two.
