Passion Unleashed - By Larissa Ione

Serena Kelley has been charmed since she was 7 years old, she's always been able to stand her ground, kick some ass, and resist all temptation. As she meets up with Josh (Wraith), a man Val (her Guardian) has choosen to help her find something he needs in Egypt, she realizes she might be in more danger in his presence then she thought. I'm not talking about the blood, guts, & weapons type danger, I'm talking the "oh man is it hot in here, or is it just you?" danger that her libido is putting her in. Sure she's made out with guys, and seen how far her limits will allow her to go, but nothing like the heat that burns between her and Wraith. Will she be able to resist his temptation?

Wraith is a sexual Seminus demon with a little bit of vampire thrown in for fun. After being poisoned by an enemy he thought was dead, Wraith turns to his brothers for the cure. Unable to find one, they stumble upon Serena Kelley, a charmed human with a necklace that will make you immortal. All Wraith has to do is seduce her, piece a cake for a guy like him, but taking the cure isn't so easy when you know the person you're taking it from will die. Now if that isn't a mood killer, I don't know what is, oh how about adding that Wraith is falling for her on top of it?

What a catch 22, right? With everything you ever wanted in your grasp, finally realizing it's right there, how do you decide who lives & who dies?

-- I fell in love with the book when I saw it's cover! I mean come on, how can you not?! This being the first book that I've read from Larissa, I was very pleased! For a second I thought that I might have a problem with it slightly bouncing from the main characters, to different characters in the book, but then it all came together in the end. I realized it was part of a bigger plan, and it worked beautifully to make everything fall into place and make the story come full circle. So please pick up this book if you already haven't, it's well worth it!

The Darkest Kiss - By Gena Showalter

Anya, minor goddess of anarchy, has always had that label of the bad girl. Don't get her wrong, she loves a little mischief, but throwing in that she's easy, well damn, that's a little harsh don't ya think? All she wants is to keep people out, no closeness, no true affection, no attachment. Anya has too much to lose if she let's someone have it all, and truthfully has never wanted to give it to anyone. That is until Lucien, the incarnation of death itself, pops onto her radar and all she wants to do is get close to him.

Lucien doesn't know what it is about Anya that get his blood boiling, and she seems to act as though she really likes him. Most women won't give him a second glace because of his scars, but there she is looking straight at him and making him burn to his core. All this is great, fine & dandy, until the Lord of THEE Underworld approaches Lucien and tells him to steal the one thing from Anya that she would never give up or else he'll make sure everyone Lucien cares about suffers to no end. Well if that doesn't suck I don't know what does?

Stuck together in search for an answer, Anya and Lucien are trying to unearth the one thing that will save not only Anya, but also save Lucien from carrying out the orders that will rip them apart.

Great book, love the passion, the intensity that these two share! This was my first Lords of the Underworld book, and the first Gena Showalter book that I had read as well. Hopefully soon I will be diving into the rest of Underworld books, and giving my piece of mind about those ones too, but for now enjoy!

Trying to read as fast as my little mind & eyes will let me!

100 books in 2 months...

Yep that's how many books I have physically bought, and now there is talk that I have an addiction?? Well, at least that's what my fiance says. Personally I don't think of it as an addiction, more like candy for my mind. (and boy does my mind have a sweet tooth)

Every person out there has that one thing that they itch for, I just happen to have a few, and books are TOTALLY in the top 3! I'm trying to read through as many as I can right now wanting to review them for you guys and hopefully give you a suggestion for what to read next. I know that I could just sit on here and write about all the series' that I've already read, and don't get me wrong I will, but in between I want to offer something different too. Not just the same series, by the same author, over and over, with no variation in between...gets old. Fast.

If you have any suggestions, or requests, let me know. Making sure that I cover what you read too is important, or steering you in the direction of a new author would be great! Now back to what I was doing before I started writing this....
