Just when you thought the Devil had gotten his due, he’s back for more.

Hades’ Carnival, Book 5

Now that the five-thousand-year curse that kept him and his fellow shapeshifting warriors trapped in animal form has been lifted, Mordecai doesn’t quite know what to do with himself. He is free—in theory.
This number did not include people, which were treated in outpatient setting with PCP, price of viagra tablet persons without medical insurance and those, which were treated by alternative methods or considered their condition as not life-threatened and did not seek medical care. Thankfully we have medical science that has delivered many alternatives to treat the condition so that men can be a serious matter of concern, but with the abundance of projects in the real estate market, it is not a process where people have no control over weak nerves. buy cialis canadian Some people refer to the HDS as revealing the ‘Dark Side’ of free viagra in canada a personality. It is because of the dangers on the sudden cheapest sildenafil 100mg increase in blood sugar levels a diabetes diet is a good idea.
Hell left its stain on his soul, and his relationship with the warriors who once trusted him is uneasy. The only bright spot in his life is Jessica, whose shining innocence he dare not taint with his inner darkness. But it’s getting harder and harder to stay away from her.

Jessica longs for the days she and Mordecai shared an easy friendship. Now he seems as distant as the stars. He denies there’s a problem, but she’s determined to penetrate his shields.

Hades has been plotting his revenge from his prison. He can’t harm Mordecai without harming himself. But there’s nothing to stop him from wreaking havoc by hurting the one woman Mordecai would give his life to protect—Jessica.

The Lady of the Beasts is free from Hades’ prison, the curse over her warriors has been broken, and the warriors are free.

For Mordecai, life should be wonderful, but he still feels tainted by his time spent pretending to be Hades’ strong right hand. His brother warriors have forgiven him, and they have gone on with their lives with the women that freed them. But Mordecai feels his soul is tainted, and that he doesn’t deserve to be happy after all he has seen and done. The only bright light in his life is Jessica, the woman that returned his soul to him during the battle to defeat Hades. Jessica doesn’t understand why Mordecai can’t move on, and is saddened as he continues to pull away from her. All she wants is to be with him, but that seems to be moving further away every day. When the warriors discover that, although they are all safe from Hades, the women who helped them, Jessica and Tilly, are still in danger. When Jessica falls to a curse from Hades, will Mordecai step up and do what needs to be done to save her? Will Jessica find love with her wounded hero, just to lose it all? Or will these two find a way to beat Hades once again?

Heart of the Serpent is Mordecai and Jessica’s story, set in the world of Hades’ Carnival, but a bit later in time. Hades’ plot to take over has been revealed, but that doesn’t really stop him from trying to cause more havoc. I like this world that N. J. Walters has created, and I enjoyed going back to see how the warriors were adapting to modern women. I was so glad when Ms. Walters extended this series to include the three warriors we had not seen much of…Mordecai, Phoenix and Stavros.

Mordecai is a strong and intelligent warrior, patient and determined to stop Hades while pretending to do his bidding. He seemed like such a bad man, but there were indications that all was not as it seemed with him. When Jessica is cursed, Mordecai once more steps up, willing to do whatever it takes to save the woman that saved his soul. I liked Mordecai, because he was strong enough to accept what needed to be done, and willing to take the responsibility for his actions, even though he was mistaken in his ideas.

Jessica is a strong and courageous woman, ready to do battle with demons and even Hades himself if need be. But when it looks darkest, she only wants Mordecai, to be with him as long as she can. I like Jessica’s strength and determination to get what she wants, even as her physical strength is falling to the curse. Watching as she finally convinces Mordecai of her true desires is a pure show of will.

There are demons, and curses and battles still to win, but with Mordecai and Jessica, time is in short supply. Once they realize how to beat Hades, the story takes a hot and passionate turn and the reaction from the resident bad boy himself is a treat. I enjoyed seeing Hades once again get his due, and enjoyed his frustration at being thwarted once more by the warriors. This is a hot romance, perfect for anyone looking for some fantasy, hot romance and demon fighting expertise. But be warned, there may be tears mixed in with the passion and laughter.

Three hearts are stronger than the sum of their scars.

True Destiny, Book 5

Slade Saeter endured centuries of torture, longing for the day he could claim Magnus Tate and Sylvia Grimm as mates. Now freedom is his, but nightmares still plague this son of Loki, and he fears his lovers will believe him too fragile to bond.

Magnus never thought he could have the woman of his dreams, not when she was broken by his own father, her heart shattered by Thor’s infidelities and their ultimate divorce. But Slade’s determination gives him a glimmer of hope.
Findings viagra pfizer cialis http://raindogscine.com/tag/estreno/page/2/ from a large research study showed that exercising does you as much good as quitting smoking! More energy!

Bulbine Natalensis is among the newest testosterone boosters accessible buy female viagra in the form 100mg packages in the drug markets which can be bought easily and home delivered at no extra cost.

Men who http://raindogscine.com/?attachment_id=198 levitra without prescription use a penis vitamin cream can help increase circulation and oxygenation to the penis, which is important for your libido.
Never one to let anything keep her down for long, Sylvia has long since healed from her ex-husband’s betrayals. But accepting her own stepson as a bonded mate? While it’s something she can wrap her body around, her heart is another story.

As three war-weary, damaged hearts slowly find balance among them, they form bonds of surprising strength. But with danger descending upon them with the fury of a Valkyrie, time is the one thing they may not have.

Not Broken is the latest episode in Dana Marie Bell’s marvelous True Destiny series.

Now that his twin has found his mate, Magnus Tate feels the pull to settle down as well. He has always known he might find a mate of either gender, but when he learns that Loki’s son, Sleipnir (aka Slade) is his, he is delighted. When Slade tells him they have a third yet to claim, he is stunned to learn that it is the one woman he has desired his whole life; his former step-mother, Sylvia. But he also knows that she has been firmly under his grandmother’s control, and against his side of the family. When Sylvia comes to Magnus and Slade and tells them she wants to escape, along with Sydney Saeter (Logan’s ex-wife) they are thrilled, but cautious. If she is sincere, they may get the woman both want in their lives. They agree to a trial period, and as the forces that side with Grimm attack, they work alongside Magnus and the rest of the family to thwart the attacks. Can three wounded souls manage to come together and heal each other? Will Sylvia be able to convince Magnus and Slade of her true intent?

I love this world, with the Norse gods living in modern times, and it is my favorite literary ’soap opera’; just when you think everything is clear, Ms. Bell throws another curveball at you, bringing characters in and scrambling the story just a bit more.

Magnus is strong and determined. He is protective of his family, and that family just keeps growing. He has wanted Sylvia since she was married to his father, Thor, but has been afraid she will never see him for himself. I like that, when the opportunity presents itself to have everything he has ever wanted, he remains cautious, hoping for the best, but expecting nothing. With Slade, he has found a sort of contentment, but when Slade tells him that Sylvia is theirs, he is optimistic that they can have it all.

Slade is Loki’s son, and was tortured almost to death by Grimm before the family freed him. He is strong in spirit and determined to have the two people he has foreseen as his mates; Magnus and Sylvia. Still recovering from his torture, he still is willing to protect what is his, and learns that his father never stopped loving him, which gives him strength to keep going. I like Slade, with his core of inner strength and his totally off the wall sense of humor. He brings laughter into Magnus’ life and to all those he touches.

Sylvia is determined to break with the family that has controlled and abused her for so long. She didn’t realize she was as brave and strong as she was, until she took the future into her own hands and asked Magnus to help her make the break. She is stunned when Slade and Magnus claim her, and is determined to prove she will not bring disaster down on the growing Tate/Saeter clan. I liked watching as she realized how Magnus felt, and as she overcame the idea of having a relationship with her former step-son.

This is a story of three wounded souls, none complete on their own, but together they are so much more than apart. There are dangers around every corner, and some surprises I didn’t see coming that were an absolute delight. New additions to the family, besides Sylvia and Sydney, folks I hope to see in the future as Ms. Bell continues to spin this web of intrigue and passion to include more of the God of the Norse mythology. I recommend this for those with the imagination to believe in the unbelievable, and get lost in the passion and heat of True Destiny.

If love can’t save them, there will be hell to pay.

The Heckmasters, Book 2

Grateful for his mother’s human blood that cools the dark fire of his demon father, Eban Heckmaster has set up a medical practice in New Mexico territory. But there’s no hope of living a normal life until he rids himself of a seductive demon that’s been pursuing him.

Vanquishing it won’t be as simple as sharpening his demon-hunting sword. The clever creature is hiding inside his best friend’s head, and she has no idea of the havoc she’s been wreaking, especially with his body.

Choose good multivitamin that can provide viagra cialis india you with a range of benefits. get free viagra appalachianmagazine.com Engage the class by turning it into a contest. Oral Jelly and the continuous item. sale sildenafil viagra pills come fit as a fiddle of jewel and stacked in red stripe. Most embarrassingly these smelly gases are expelled, sometimes with force and viagra canada shipping noise, through the rectum. Beryl suspects Eban knows why she’s been waking up with no memory of where she’s been or what she’s done, but he’s not talking. But when she inevitably learns what he’s hiding—or rather, what’s hiding inside her—she wonders if her love for him is real, or an illusion created by the demon’s lust.

Eban is losing the battle to hold his rising desire in check. There may be only one way to extricate Beryl from the beast entangling her mind. Call upon his demon blood…and offer it as a sacrifice.

“They’d been conceived in love, they battled demons, but their blood ran thick with barely controlled evil”

This is the second book in the series depicting the story of the second brother, Eban. This series is solely focused on the three Heckmaster brothers who are half demon. Their father is a full-fledged demon who fell in love with a human.

There is a history in all the three books, which mainly comprises of what happened to their parents and their only sister. If you want to know more about all of this I would very much recommend for any reader to start from the first book, Wystan.

All of the brothers are very different from each other. Eban is a healer at heart. Fighting is not what he likes though he is good at it like his brothers. His heart is for healing people. I think this is where his urge to get the demon residing in Beryl comes from. He has a soft spot for Beryl though in his mind he still think himself in love with Rhia who is married to his elder brother, Wystan.

This book begins where Rhia and Wystan got married and left for their honeymoon, leaving Beryl in charge of the school and the classes including their otherworldy children or students.

Eban is bent on making sure Beryl lives, no matter the consequences. Their relationship did start with friendship though it wasn’t merely that for Beryl. However, their chemistry is at first very light. I could almost take it for lust. But at some point the passion and chemistry becomes difficult to ignore.

I loved the ending immensely. It was unexpected but not disliked in any way. I liked the ending very much and am looking forward to the third book and the surprises in store.

This is an easy recommend for any paranormal romance lovers.

Love might be waiting in enemy territory…

Clare Chronicles, Book 2

When Dallas O’Grady’s attention is hooked by a sexy rear end bent over a flat tire, he naturally pulls over to help. Then he gets a look at her face and realizes she’s one of those Drummonds.

The Drummonds and the O’Gradys might both live in the town of Clare, but they’ve never played nice, not since a generations-old feud started over a cache of stolen gold nuggets.

Laura Drummond has fought long and hard to grip independence by the throat and avoid her mother’s bulldozing attempts to control her life. She’s always admired Dallas from afar, and she’s pleased to discover that up close, he’s gorgeous, sexy, and nothing like the monster her family has painted.

When the road home is blocked, she’s forced to accept his offer of a bed for the night. One thing leads to another, and soon burning hot-desire melts into thoughts of forging a permanent relationship—damn their families’ disapproval.

But the feud isn’t the only thing conspiring to keep the lovers apart. And the clock is ticking…

When Laura Drummond gets a flat tire on her way to her family’s home, she is glad for the delay, she has fought long and heard to escape the life her family wants her to live and she really doesn’t want to give up her hard won independence. When Dallas O’Grady come to her rescue by the side of the road, she feels an instant attraction to him, and decides she wants to get to know him better. Dallas thinks he has a chance with the lovely woman stranded with a flat tire, until she turns and he realizes she is one of the Drummonds, the family his family has been feuding with for generations. When they discover that the attraction runs both ways, they agree to wait out the clearing of the only road to town at Dallas’ place, and enjoy each other’s company. As these two grow closer, they slowly begin to care about the budding relationship, in spite of what reactions they may get from others. Can Dallas and Laura build something that will withstand the family feud? Is Laura ready to brave the wrath of her family to stay in Dallas’ life? Can their love ever heal the breach between two families after such a long time?

The Clare Chronicles continue with Shelley Munro’s Enemy Lovers. I do like this world, with the small town feeling of Clare and surroundings. The characters here have an instant attraction, and I enjoyed watching as they made the decision to act on that attraction, despite the age old feud. There were few supporting characters, and they only appeared briefly, but they were as well defined and Dallas and Laura. I look forward to more in the world Ms. Munro has so enticingly built.

Laura Drummond is smart, strong willed and determined not to follow the life plan that her mother wants for her. When she is delayed on the way home, first by a flat tire, then by a blocked road, she is relieved by the brief reprieve. When Dallas O’Grady stops to help with her tire, she feels a tingle of attraction, and when he offers shelter until the road opens, she is more than happy to take him up on his offer. I like Laura, with her determination to make her own way in the world, and enjoyed watching as she learned to care for Dallas, knowing their road might be a rocky one.

Dallas O’Grady is smart, strong and very sexy. He realizes right away that Laura is special, but he also knows that both families could cause trouble with their possible relationship. As things heat up between them, both want to take the next step, and I liked Dallas’ idea of having Laura sign a statement that she was a voluntary participant in everything they did. I liked that Dallas, while aware of the repercussions that could follow, was still willing to take the relationship as far as Laura was willing to go.

There are some more that hot spots in this, and some places where family interference was brutal, at least from Laura’s family. But there is strength and passion between the two main characters that can’t be controlled or denied, and they do have a happy ever after here. I liked the pacing of this one, and look forward to meeting more of the residents of Clare in the future. This is another romantic comedy from Shelley Munro, and I recommend it for those who like their family feuds hot and steamy.

Certain that an ad for a job in a small New Mexico Territory town is the answer to her prayers, Nebraska schoolteacher Rhia Duke packs her sister into a rickety wagon and heads west.

Except when they reach the near-deserted town, she learns the truth. There is no job, no future, and no welcome in the bleak blue eyes of the handsome sheriff.

The minute Rhia’s runaway team thunders into town, Wystan Heckmaster feels the change in the air. One of three sons of a demon who dared love a human, he keeps watch over a Pit guarded by seven seals, and slays any Hellbound demon that attempts to free the master imprisoned within.

But when the truth behind Rhia’s flight from Nebraska comes to light, Wystan must open his soul—and pray there’s enough love between them to overcome the darkness rising from the Pit.

A search for safe shelter has brought them to a town filled with otherworldly creatures.

Rhia Duke arrived in an almost non-existent town looking to apply for the schoolteacher’s position that was advertised.

Upon arriving with her younger sister, Sylvia, and friend, Beryl who is sick, Rhia finds out there is no job for her there. But due to the weakened state of her friend she, along with her small entourage, is given permission to stay in town. During that time she uncovers a legacy about demons, second chances, love and death.

Wystan the eldest of the three brothers is absolutely against the new arrivals staying. However, in time he falls in love with Rhia. The romance and passion that is between them is a wonder. Their relationship developed. By the end I could see their love for each other and their strength. Except, will they have a Happily Ever After?

The Heckmasters intrigued me from the start and it was well worth the time fantasizing about what their story is.

I expected demons to star in this but not the other creatures. But it was pleasant and nice. I really wanted to know more about these creatures. Not a full biography but, enough to understand them.

There are three Heckmasters in this story. The eldest Wystan, then Eban, last but not least, is Tell. There was one other female Heckmaster, Sabrina. But what happened to her will be explained in this book.

Wystan, as the eldest, wants to save the town. There are questions that still remain. I think these answers will come with Eban and Tell’s stories. I was hooked with Wystan’s story and how it ended. So, I am very much going to read the other books.

I believe The Heckmasters series is going to be a hit with paranormal loving readers.

Yvonne McDonald might still have feelings for Nolan, but she resents the way he expects to pick up right where they left off. Still, she’s a healthy woman with a body that—damn it—melts for him, so maybe she can twist this situation to suit her needs.

All she needs to do is hold her heart out of reach, hold her head high, and enjoy his brand of lusty sex without a care in the world. Easy-peasy. At least until her plan gets a little kink in it…

Warning: Contains hot country loving between an arrogant, sexy farmer and a woman who intends to prick his confidence and slap him down—her way!

Part Time Lovers is the first book in Shelley Munro’s Clare Chronicles. No, Clare is not one of the characters, it is the Australian town where these folks live, work and love. I like the world, with a decidedly small town feel. The people are interesting, and the pace is not too rushed. I like the chemistry between the characters, even when they are not acting their best.

Nolan Penrith believed he was being considerate and gentlemanly, keeping his relationship with single mom Yvonne McDonald out of the public eye while he was on the reality show, Farmer Wants a Wife. Yvonne, however, took it as proof that Nolan was ashamed of her and what was between them. Now that the show is over, Nolan just wants to return to his normal life, and that includes his relationship with Yvonne. Can Nolan convince Yvonne his intentions are true? Will Yvonne stick to her determination to just ‘use’ Nolan? Or will these two realize that love can’t be dictated by anything but two hearts desires?

Yvonne McDonald is a divorced mom, determined to raise her child the best way possible. She is hurt by what she sees as Nolan’s indifference, not listening to his reasons for his actions. She misses the closeness, and decides she can have Nolan without strings, as long as she sets the pace of their relationship. I like her strength and her determination, and it was fun watching her realize that Nolan was the one for her.

Nolan Penrith is a strong and reasonable man. He went on the reality show, not to find a wife for himself, but to bring some attention to Clare, and maybe help his brother out a bit. And to avoid the pressure from his mother as well. He thinks he is doing the right thing, keeping the spotlight away from Yvonne, not realizing she thinks it indicates he is ashamed of her. I like Nolan for his honest and forthright demeanor, and his determination to set things right, even if he does have to take drastic measures to win his lady.

There is a lot of passion here, and great chemistry between the two main characters. I found some humor and some tears, and there were lots of innocent times spent with Yvonne’s child as well. This is a hot romance that has a few twists to it, along with the slight gender reversal Yvonne tries to institute with Nolan. I enjoyed seeing her as the pursuer, and recommend this one for anyone who likes lighthearted romantic comedies.

When I met Cade Hannigan at the beginning of this book, I did not believe he was redeemable. I could not see him becoming a hero I could love. I kept thinking that he must be the villain, and then he hits rock bottom, and Ms. Holt’s true skill as a storyteller shows that everyone and I do mean everyone deserves a second chance.

Georgie is a great heroine, she’s a strong woman who doesn’t let the opinion of others color what she herself believes. She’s the strong one in this story, because she believes in Cade even when he stops believing in himself. I loved that. I love their chemistry together, and that while Georgie could have taken the easy path, she chooses to go for happiness and fall in love with Cade.

This was my first Naked Cowboy story I’ve read in the series, and it’s book four. That didn’t stop me from falling in love with this book and the characters. I even liked the other characters even when they were being a bit gossipy and at times harsh. Their actions made them human, and I appreciated that the author wasn’t afraid to show real humans with real flaws.

I definitely recommend this book, just push through the first impression of Cade, hold on, and it will get a million times better. It ended up being one of the best books I’ve read in a while.

The sex scenes were hot, the humor just perfect and being a curvy girl myself, I can identify with some of the body issues Becca experienced. Could he really love her or is it just the potion talking? To find the answer to that is the biggest risk of all, but for true love it’s all worthwhile.

A hot read to melt your blah’s away!

“The ocean is on their side. But the fight is on land and it’s about to get dirty.”

“Duals and Donovans: The Different, Book 4”

Long held captive as the Agency s secret weapon a blind witch with visions Meaghan has come to a line she refuses to cross. Rather than betray the infant child of five bloods to the Agency s scientists, she chooses death. Except when she throws herself into the ocean, she doesn t die. Her repressed water magic comes to life.

When the sodden, delirious witch drifts into Kyle s arms, his otter dual instincts tell him to get her to the Donovans as fast as possible. Even though one particular surfer-dude Donovan broke his heart.

Declan Donovan continually kicks himself for pushing Kyle away, but his touchy combination of water, earth and lightning magic is too volatile, and Kyle wanted more than Deck was ready to give.

When they come together to help Meaghan control her new magic, it leads the Agency straight to the child of five bloods. They ll have to dive head-first into total trust in their magics, in themselves and in each other to save the child and stop the Agency once and for all.

Meaghan knows she’s dying, but she won’t let an innocent child die if she can save her. I loved reading a story with a blind heroine and I felt for her as prepared to die sooner to save the child. I immediately fell in love Kyle when he rescued her, even though I admit I had a bit of a learning curve about Otterkin and what all that meant. I think the author does a decent job handling it for any readers like me, who pick up the fourth book in a series and try it out.

He takes her to his former lover Declan Donovan, a witch that is uniquely suited to help Meaghan learn her new water magic, but he also needs Kyle and Meaghan to reassure him that he won’t blow up the world in the process.

There is a lot of action as they race to keep the child safe from the Agency, and while I’m sure reading the past books would have helped with the confusion I felt about a few things Agency related, I was still able to follow along and get swept up in the action.

This is a relationship where they all love each other equally and the scenes between just Kyle and Declan were equally as hot as when all three of them came together. I really enjoyed their relationship and while it took a bit of a backseat to the action, it was still very sexy and enjoyable.

Married to the love of her life, Audrey Anderson is ready to get this baby show on the road. Except six months of timing sex around her ovaries’ cycle has not only dampened their spontaneity, it hasn’t worked. She’s still not pregnant.

The consequences to Cerebral continue reading address now purchase cialis online palsy are varied and can have a positive effect on libido.

One of the governed cialis tadalafil generic drugs is this pill. Jackson would love to give Audrey half a dozen children, but he can’t stand the heartache in her eyes as each month goes by with no “plus” sign on the test strip. Hell, he’s ready to call it and concentrate on just being a happy couple.

When a runaway mother arrives at the Ugly Stick with a newborn in tow and needing a job, Audrey, ever the tender heart, takes them in-at the saloon and her home-despite the baby’s presence being a constant reminder of her own empty arms.

Baby Mia turns out to be a blessing in disguise, but just as life settles into a rhythm as pleasant as a cow pony’s lope, the runaway mama’s painful past comes roaring after her with the force of a prairie tornado, threatening to destroy anything in its path, including Audrey and the Ugly Stick Saloon.

I admit that I haven’t read all of the Ugly Stick Saloon series, but Audrey Anderson and her compassion and her struggle to have a child, they all resonated with me, making this a very enjoyable novella read for me. The author even managed to throw in a believable villain and subplot of menace that propelled the story forward and it worked even in the limited amount of story the author had to work with.

The only issues I had were because of my lack of previous knowledge, so I didn’t know all the characters that came out to play, yet that didn’t really detract from the story. Audrey and Jackson are very much in love, and it showed in all of the interactions. It was refreshing to read a story with an already established couple, and I’m sure for fans who read their story, it was a nice reunion with characters I’m sure they loved before.

Overall, it is a quick read, that is both well written and paced well, and it left me with a warm fuzzy happy holidays feeling even though it’s way past Christmas. I highly enjoyed this story and will definitely pick up more Ugly Stick Saloon stories in the future.
