After Reading Scoundrel By Zoe Archer

This is the 2nd book from the series Blades of the Rose by Zoe Archer.  The first one was Warrior.

These men are a part of a group called Blades.  They defend and protect all magic artifacts from all around the world from the greedy and diabolical intents of the Heairs of Albion. I've said this before, this series has a feel of Indiana Jones' to it.  The hero and heroines saves the world in a historical setting with action, adventure and romance all around.  This is a light and a feel good read with a lot of steamy love scenes. I like it but it's not something that will definitely stick with you after your done with the last page.  But if you're looking for some easy read, I'd definitely recommend this series to you. 

Bouncing Back To Blogging

If ever there's someone keeping up with  my blog which I have totally totally neglected, my heartfelt apologies.  I had some personal stuff to take care of, well, I'm still sort-of in the middle of it now (sheesh) and on top of it I got no nanny to take care of my little girl. Here's hoping I'll be updating this blog soon (fingers crossed). I've been reading still, that won't change although a book now would take me more than a week to finish!  (My usual was 3-4 days).  I'm hoping to quit my day job by the next year and concentrate on our family and the business.  So this will definitely give me time to blog too!
Anyways, I've been looking for the release dates of my favorite series.  Can anybody help me out on this?:
1. Richelle Mead's Succubus series #6
2. Ilona Andrew's Kate series #5
3. Stacia Kane's Ghost Series #4 
4. KAren Chance's Dorina Basarab #3 (?)
5. Karen Marie Moning's Fever #5
6. Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series #3
7. Caitlin Kittredge's Black London series#3

Right now, I've been reading a series by Zoe Archer.  It's fun, adventure and romantic but a 3.5stars for me.  I'm thinking, I'm more of an Urban fantasy girl. The gritty and dark scenes really draws me.

No Blog Posts!

I know I've been way too neglectful.  But these past few weeks, I've just been too tired and lazy to think.  I would rather spend my free time with my baby and then read!
Here's what I've read since this month:
Demon From The Dark (Immortals After Dark #10) By Kresley Cole  ***** 5 stars
Ravenous (The Dark Forgotten #1) By Sharon Ashwood *****5 stars
Killbox ( Sirantha Jax #4) By Ann Aguirre *****5stars

They were all fantastic! I found another favorite series through the person of Ms Sharon Ashwood. I was actually spooked while reading her book.
Well, Kresley Cole and Ann Aguirre, what can I say, their books have been amazing.  They never disappoint.

After Reading Silver Borne By Patricia Briggs

At first I thought that I have already read Silver Borne since the first chapter was so familiar but for the life of me, I cound not remember what happened in the the book. As I continued to chapter 2, I then realized that what I had read was only an exerpt from the book. Good thing I did not stop reading or else I would have missed a really great part of Mercy's exciting life with the wolves and the fae.
Mercy always seems to attract trouble one way or another. As if her precarious position as the Alpha's mate and her being a coyote and not pack which in itself built resentment from the pack is not enough, she once again innocuously involved herself from power-hunger faes. Not just your ordinary magic weilding fae but the Fairy Queen no less.
This time the limelight was shared with Samuel. And I can't wait to know what had really happened with Samuel and his tragic love with a particular fae. The enigmatic and dominant Samuel stammering in front of a girl..precious! I have always wanted Samuel to find his HEA. I didn't realized he already found it and lost it and now, found it once more and I know this time, he won't let it go.
I don't want to spoil it all but this time Adam and Mercy's mating bond finally, finally became solid and strong. How the bonds between the pack and the mated pack were beautifully described and were actually witnessed by Mercy in her magic-induced state.
What I would like to know about next is The Marrock's. I hope he'll get his own HEA in a separate book soon!
My rating: *****5 stars

After Reading Blood Song By Cat Adams and Pride Mates By Jennifer Ashley

This one is going to be brief so I decided to combine 2 books to talk about.

I tried, really I did.  I was already 80% done  but I find it boring and it has too many things going on which really has no point or relevant to the story. There's this Prince and a demon, Celia and her being a vampire and her group of friends which some of them I wouldn't call at all, Celia and her best friend who is clairvoyant,  Celia and her ability to feel ghosts, I could go on and on.  I just don't see the point. I figured, some mystery would have seen the light even just a bit since I'm almost done with the book. But, nope. It does not compare to the likes of Kate Daniels, Chess Putnam, or Mercy Thompson. I guess I may have expected too much.  rated: * one star

This one was unexpected.  It's the title, I guess, so stereo-typed for a shifter PNR.  But there's actually more to it than that.  My curiosity for the shifters was just as piqued as Kim. I was struck on how emotionally uninhibited the shifters are to their kind. Kim even thought it was somewhat sexual, them rubbing their faces to  another shifters neck, not just to the opposite sex, but same sex as well.  I like how Liam is not affected by how humans treat shifters.  The discrimination are ridiculously inhumane.  No updated technology, no college for their children, no rights as beings. He is not affronted by how humans treat them because it does not matter to him.  It does not make him who he is inside.  He can do without those things human seem to find important. I like that.
 Not withstanding Kim's sizzling encounters (they were at it like bunnies!) with the delectable Liam Morrisey, I recommend this read for PNR lovers who wants some great story behind great sex scenes. rated : **** 4 stars

On A Roll

I'm sorry but I'm just too lazy to post reviews and comments! Since last week, I've read Eternal Kiss Of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost, City Of Ghosts by Stacia Kane, Twice Bitten by Chloe Neill,  Seduce The Darkness by Gena Showalter. And they're all great reads! Now, I've started reading Blood Song by  Cat Adams (pseudonym for C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp), a new author for me.  So far so good.  I'm still waiting for some romance though, I hope it has one even just a little bit.


Anyway, I hoped to be cured of this lazy malady soon. Happy reading all!
