I decided to read this book when I saw that couple of my GR friends had rated it pretty high. I did not read Midnight Liaisons 1 because the reviews were less than promising, but I feel like I did not really miss out on anything in this book. Jessica Sims did a good job of filling in any gaps in the story.

Sarah is a wolf shifter that has been hiding what she is for many years, but now that its out in the open she is faced with a dilemma, save a young girl by becoming a member of a vicious wolf pack needing a woman, or let the woman suffer.
Sarah devises a scheme to join the pack to save the girl. Ramsey a Bear Shifter that is friends with Sarah's Sisters mate agree's to assist her in her plan. They will pretend to be mated and help Sarah avoid being mated to one of the wolves. But it doesn't go according to plan.

Sarah ends up with a constant wolf guarding waiting to see her slip up. This leads to her moving in with Ramsey and the charade commences.

This was such a great read for me. Ramsey and Sarah are constantly at each other, and when they aren't Ramsey is sooooo sweet and not to mention the V-card at play!! :) Sigh. Such a sweet/hot/steamy/exciting read.

Poison Princess (The Arcana Chronicles #1)


She could save the world—or destroy it.

Sixteen-year-old Evangeline "Evie" Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they're still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.

But she can't do either alone.

With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can't totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?

Who can Evie trust?

As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it's not always clear who is on which side.

rating5 of 5 stars


reviewWOW, Just holy wow.

I added this book to my to-read because it was by Kresley Cole and I really enjoy her Immortals After Dark Series, and though it had a good plot base as far as I could tell, but I was hesitant due to the YA nature of it. It seems lately every YA I pick up makes me want to chuck my reader at the nearest wall,

and since I don't really want to invest in a new one I was weary to read this!!! SILLY ME! This book was phenomenal, like... 2am walking in circles around your bedroom to keep yourself awake because you have to get through one more chapter good. I have not read a YA this good is I cannot remember how long! Sigh* But enough of that, on to the review!

Evie Greene has visions. Like serious whacked out of her head the apocalypse is coming visions. In order to purge herself of these thoughts and images she sketches what she see's. Death. Zombies. END OF DAYS. The book begins with Evie telling us she has just gotten home from a stint in a mental institution after her mom found her sketchbook and finally told her mother what she was seeing. OUCH*



So other that that BIG secret, her life is perfect. Perfect boyfriend. Perfect friend. Perfect House. Lots of money. Except for that pesky problem of seeing life as we know it END.



Evie starts to not only have visions of the Apocalypse but also starts speaking to a Boy she has never met through these images. He tells her things. Helps her. Gives her advice. And there is that pesky problem of all plant life seeming to grow toward her and caress her when she isn't paying attention.

Then there is Jackson "Jack" a new boy in school from the wrong side of town. - One moment while I swoon.
Leather Jacket. Tall. Dark. Cajun. YUMO! She finds him...intriguing to say the least.
The fact that this book takes place right across the pond from me is extremely exciting to me!

SO if THAT doesn't hook your interest, we find very soon that her apocalyptic visions weren't visions. They were predictions. And boy, what predictions they were.

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING. The story Kresley Cole weaves is flawless. The Tarrot Cards, the plants. The militia. WOW.

I am hopping right into the next book in the series!

Need You for Keeps (St. Helena Vineyard, #6) by Marina Adair

When it comes to caring for the furry residents of St. Helena, California, groomer and pet rescuer Shay Michaels can handle anything. Humans are another story, though especially Deputy Jonah Baudouin. He's the town's resident superhero: upright, uptight, and jaw-droppingly gorgeous, even when he's investigating complaints about Shay's beloved foster animals. And that spells danger for Shay, a free spirit who can't risk trusting the wrong person again.

Jonah and Shay have been circling each other ever since she came to town, and he's running out of reasons to "not" kiss her senseless. But this deputy is a straight shooter with his eye on the sheriff's badge. He can't afford to get involved with Shay, a chaos magnet with luscious curves who's liable to turn his career and his life upside down. He enforces laws. She breaks them repeatedly. Keeping her out of trouble is becoming a full-time job and it's one he hopes is never going to end. 



reviewThis was such a sweet read.
Right away I liked Shay. Who wouldn’t love a woman whose sole purpose in life is to save strays and find their forever homes?  As a pet lover she “had me at hello.”
Shay is somewhat of a rebel and will stop at nothing to get her animals into good homes, even if that means stepping on the toes of the to-be sheriff Jonah Baudouin.
By-the-book Jonah is drawn to Shay’s larger than life personality, and can’t quite understand why he can’t stop thinking about her, especially with her constantly breaking the law, even if it is on accident.



Together they teach each other to be better people. The attraction between the two of them is palpable. There is just enough drama to keep you enthralled without taking away from the story.

"“You are strong and passionate and so damn loveable.”He ran a finger over her cheek. “You are the color in my black-and-white world, and I love every shade that you are.”"
Altogether this was a sweet read for me. (less)
