Ruby Red Metallic - By Casey Sheridan

Release Date:

Website: Casey Sheridan

Publisher: Breathless Press

Purchase Info: Amazon

Alaina knows her cars and she doesn't view what she does for a living as stealing. Using all the physical attributes she has at her disposal, she merely acquires the high-end vehicles for a business partner.

Although the beautiful cars turn her on, she has her heart set on a particular gem. When she finds her jewel, Alaina is pleasantly surprised by its handsome owner, Scott.

Now she's faced with a dilemma. Does she choose the man or the gem?

OH-MM-GEE!!

You want sexual electricity, wrapped in erotica hotness? Well then you HAVE to pick up Ruby Red Metallic!

Alaina is a smart, sexy woman who's "go-get-um" reflex is triggered by the sight of an amazing car. Her drive for beautiful cars is unlike any I've ever seen, and believe me I've read about some seriously car-crazed males. It's not that Alaina is just wanting a ride in these cars, she's lifting them for clients, and using what god gave her to get what she wants always works! When she meets Scott she finds herself breaking the one rule she has always set for herself, NO SEX. But there's just something about him that makes her want to bend her limits, and I think that little something is Ruby Red Metallic.

This read was most definitely hot, steamy, and amazingly seductive. I only wish that it might have been a tiny bit longer. Alaina is so fierce & sexy, her and Scott made a fabulous pair. So perhaps in the future we'll see the second part to this duo's story? Until then make sure you pick up this hot read!

Cover Whore

Yes, I know, it's been a while....and it's not that I haven't run into some gorgeous covers, because god knows I have, I just haven't been struck by any.

Until I saw the covers for book #2 & #3 in Kristen Painter's, House of Comarre Series!

I mean, try to tell me this cover isn't god sent?

UH-MAZE-ING!

This one too...oh I weep....it's beautiful!

What beautiful covers have you seen lately?



Monday....I hate you

This right here, is EXACTLY what I will be doing during lunch.....

nothing can help me today. I've had my Red Bull....nothing...I even had coffee (yuck!) and nothing!

So apparently the Sandman full on ran my ass over last night, put it in reverse and then did a burn out in my mind, because I am so lethargic that I can't even force myself to do a damn thing at work.

This serious case of zombie-ness is bringing my whole day down, and I feel like I'm just going thru the zombie motions.

Next stop, eating boss' brain and terrorizing the local neighborhood. I'll be back!

Pre-Weekend Man Candy (Army Edition)

So I figured this last stretch of work day could use a little pazza!

In honor of Veterans Day I figured why not find us some G.I. Joes!!

Wonder if that's the Men's Health that helped with those washboard abs?

Where did his handcuffs go? They were just right here.....

Anyone need a trainer?

Sir, yes Sir!

Have a FABULOUS weekend!!

Fresh Face Friday 6-3-11

Who: T. R. Graves

What: Warriors of the Cross

Allison La Crosse, beginning a challenging family medicine residency, leaves the protection of her family.  With the transfer, her worst nightmares come true.  Her closely guarded mystical talents – those which seldom appeared before the move – unleash themselves from her confinement and reveal their presence with very little provocation. 

Allison’s most terrifying power is her compulsion to cure the sick with her touch.  Given her career, this gift would be valuable if she were not drawn like a magnet to the ailing person's every symptom.  Some of which are fatal.

At the hospital and surrounded by life-and-death emergencies, Allison’s inability to manage her impulse turns deadly.  When it does, her mentor, Brody, rescues her from her own demise.  His resuscitation ignites an exciting and tempestuous bond between them.

Desperate for a cure, they join forces and embark upon a journey to uncover the origins of Allison’s lethal curse.  In the midst of their adventure, Allison exposes a secret pursued by many…known by few.  According to the discovery, she was not born into the family she adored.  Unbeknownst to her or the surrogate family, she was switched at birth.  With this knowledge, she learns there is a malevolent world her biological parents tried to keep from her.  In fact, her mother sacrificed herself to make sure Allison remained safe from its dangers and her enemies. 

Cover: Mystical & alluring! I've been seeing more and more hand drawn covers lately and I'm starting to take quiet a liking to them ;)

My Thoughts: Awesome! I love when a different concept of paranormality is thrown in our in my face. A twist on your every day "ability" makes me want to read to book right away. So I'm looking forward to the day when I can sink my teeth into this read.

Die For Me - By Amy Plum

Release Date: 5/10/11

Website: Amy Plum

Publisher: Harper Collins

Purchase Info: Amazon, Barnes & Noble

When Kate Mercier’s parents die in a tragic car accident, she leaves her life—and memories—behind to live with her grandparents in Paris. For Kate, the only way to survive her pain is escaping into the world of books and Parisian art. Until she meets Vincent.

Mysterious, charming, and devastatingly handsome, Vincent threatens to melt the ice around Kate’s guarded heart with just his smile. As she begins to fall in love with Vincent, Kate discovers that he’s a revenant—an undead being whose fate forces him to sacrifice himself over and over again to save the lives of others. Vincent and those like him are bound in a centuries-old war against a group of evil revenants who exist only to murder and betray. Kate soon realizes that if she follows her heart, she may never be safe again.

Take your average love story, now add floating spirits, Paris & a complete and utter hottie hero, this equals Die For Me!

Going through tragedy is always hard, when Kate losses her parents she wants nothing more then to get out of NY, to cleanse herself of sorrow and be reborn. Accepting an invitation from her grandparents to come live in Paris seems like just what the doctor ordered for Kate...

While trying to just numb her past & find her niche in Parisian life, Kate can't help but realize she keeps seeing the same gorgeous guy everywhere she goes. Trying to keep his face out of her mind is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall....ain't happening. There's something magnetic about Vincent that draws Kate in. As they start forming a bond Kate finds herself happy for the first time since her parents death. I start feeling happy for Kate, yeah well that's short lived when she witnesses one of Vincents friends die. She's unable to understand HOW someone can be so calm and collected after watching the horror she just saw. So Kate turns her back on Vincent and doesn't want to see him again. But fate has other ideas for Kate, and these ones include Vincent.

Amy description of Paris are remarkable, yet not over done. She's able to make your mind feel as though you're looking out of Kate's eyes and taking in all the splendor that the French capital embodies.
I will have to say that I truly enjoy the refreshing love that Vincent & Kate share, though their numerous amounts of ups & downs make me feel like I'm on a roller coaster, I believe that in the end it adds that much more strength to their bond. After finishing this book you realize that Vincent isn't the one who's cracking Kate's shell wide open, but that they're enabling each other to feel and love for what seems like the first time. It's pure and selfless, and makes me slightly jealous.

I can't wait to see where this love story ends up and how Amy will top Die For Me.
