Review: Roster Addition

Roster Addition by V.L. Locey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Spunky N Sassy Rating: 3.0

~~~~~~~~~~Dee's ★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~

The plot moved so very slowly, like a snail. Basically the gist of the story is an unwed teenager is giving birth with her boyfriend by her side, her mom & her boyfriend and the new soon-to-adopt parents. In the beginning pages, it was difficult to attach to the characters because several names were introduced with no background information to give them substance. After about fifteen pages or so, the characters began to slowly form a picture. It has a good storyline but needs more development. Some readers may enjoy this mediocre tale. Me, not so much. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Review: A Faery's Kiss

A Faery's Kiss by Ariel Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Spunky N Sassy Rating: 4.5

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~

Noelle Bogosian is turning thirty soon and her father, the king of Faery has decided they will have a Royal Tournament to determine who she will wed. Noelle really doesn't want to marry but she will honor her father's wish for her. So warriors from all over Faery come to compete for not only her hand in marriage but the role of the future king. There is a legend of a Faery's kiss that will determine your one true love with one kiss. Noelle believes in this legend and hopes that the man who wins the tournament will also win her heart. During the tournament Noelle has been told of a darkness that wants to take her. This book was a quick read that I wanted more. It was so good I didn't want to stop reading. Noelle is a kick ass princess that knows what she wants and goes after it. I loved this book and it is definitely a must read, whether you like paranormal or not.

~~~~~~~~~~Lindsey's ★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~

I'm a reader who can get lost with all sorts of characters in books. They're an escapism for me. I love fantasy novels and I loved this book.

The Story:

A romantic comedy that is funny, contemporary and sharp.

Misha is a make up artist who, after a series of mishaps and twists and turns, falls madly in love with Akshay who reciprocates her love with ardour. The only hitch in this perfect romance is her prospective sister-in-law who thinks Misha is everything a Bahu shouldn’t be: garrulous, geeky, gawky, gainfully employed (especially the last bit). The question is will Misha win Didi (and the Kha-Pee Panchayat) over with her Stepford Wife Act? Will she continue to be the poster child for the inherent evils of the Bahu Brigade? Or will she learn to ‘lau’ herself before the whole world and its wife can do the same?

The Story:

When Indus Publishers announces a short story competition, it affects the lives of the ensemble cast in unexpected ways. A jaded journalist, a bored housewife, a starry-eyed ambitious girl, an army colonel, an impoverished divorcee-all enter the competition for pressing reasons of their own. They emerge with only slightly deeper pockets than they had but far richer in experience. Social issues are explored in an engaging manner, entwined in the lives of the characters- this is indeed the way of life. The novel also promises an enchanting look at the diversity in India; the characters belong to different Indian states and embody the peculiarities of the people of that region. Equinox and its checkered characters step to music of their own; many readers will find that it resonates with their own inner music.

I Am Extreme

Title: I Am Extreme (Book Two, Death Kiss Series )

Author: Ashley Black

Genre: Paranormal Erotic Thriller

Somewhere beyond DESPERATION is a place for the EXTREME

“I want to make you MINE, Lily. Now, you’re telling me it’s not the right time? So, do me a favour, say you’ll be my fantasy?” Ben’s mouth gifts a pleasure storm of kisses down my neck.

The lust demon has deprived me of words. I have no answer to THAT. I clutch his shoulders. HEAT exploding, everywhere.

He holds me tightly, nestling me against him as he brushes his finger tips across my burning cheek.

“You are blushing." Ben's intense blue eyes tell my body exactly how this night will end up,“I love how HOT you become when I touch you, darlin.”

The jury is coming for Ben Drake and Lily Grim’s LOVE.

A love so EXTREME, their EXCESS may destroy them both.

"There is no taming this cock darlin, not around you anyway." .... Players: Ben Drake, rock star, former model/ stripper, calls his dick "mister", dirty, flirty & fun loving with a big heart.

Lily Grim, Death's daughter,

THE Death Priestess, beautiful, brave, fiercely protective of her family and people, alluring, disturbed and a lil bit kinky...

"I was dead for so long without you," she mumbles thickly against my lips, arching and bucking against me as I give her ass a playful squeeze. "Sweet cheeks, that is such a beautiful thing to say."

I force myself to pull back and look into her eyes.

Oh, fuck me dead. Which unlike when she invites me to do that to her, she can actually do to me. That would be one hell of a fuck.

Poor mister! I am grinning like a fool.

Because her turquoise eyes are sultry slits of want for me...

I am an Australian writer of dirty, dark, steamy kinky, and INTENSE romance suspense FICTION!

My sexy word movies will blow your mind with dark bliss, and leave you melty between the legs.

I enjoy writing my sexy, intense brand of don't f*#k around and get to the awesome sensual mayhem. I write across a range (sometimes mash up) of genre’s, but we’ll go with contemporary romance (including rock star romance), dark romance, supernatural/ paranormal with a hell of a lot of SIZZLE!

Wife to my kick ass husband, Mother to two children under 4, a legal eagle by day, consulting, and at night I write and I go HARD. What can I say? INTENSITY turns my writing on!
