Forged (Book 4 in The World of The Nightwalkers) by Jacquelyn Frank

Forged (Book 4 in The World of The Nightwalkers) 
  by Jacquelyn Frank
When Katrina Haynes discovers a large man lying wounded in the snow, she fears he is at death’s door. But as Kat tends to his injuries, she quickly realizes that they’re the least of her worries. With an irresistible Scottish brogue and a strange ability to harden his chiseled body like a statue, the stranger awakens a desire she is unable to resist—and a fascination about the intriguing world he exists in.

As a proud Gargoyle, Ahnvil must safeguard the Nightwalker to whom he’s sworn fealty. But as this bewitching woman nurses him back to health, arousing an almost uncontrollable hunger within him, he is possessed with the fierce impulse to protect her as well. And he will have to shield her—for by coming to his rescue, Kat has placed herself in the middle of a supernatural war . . . and exposed herself to dark, powerful magic. As human and Gargoyle forge an unbreakable bond, Kat will discover that despite his intimidating strength and size, one thing Ahnvil does not possess is a heart of stone.

Star Rating: Five Stars

Review: Just when I think I have everything figured out, Ms. Frank goes and throws me completely off! 

  This book had me turning the page to see what would happen next, and I literally read it in under twenty hours. I haven't felt such a compulsive need to finish a book like this in quite some time. I really cannot wait to read the next installment in this series.

  What do you do when you've been created to obey, and everything within screams for you to be free?

    Why escape of cours!

    Kat has known her entire life that she was different, never quite fitting in, and the added complication of not being able to go out in the sunlight made for a very limited social life. Suddenly a towering stranger is found lying near death in the snow near her home, the nurse in her clicks on but it takes everything that she has just to get him inside her home.

    Then....his skin ripples. Turning to a stone like appearance and texture one moment, and then back to flesh the next, right before her very eyes. Just what has she gotten herself into?

   Will she survive her chance encounter with this unusual stranger?

    Anhvil having escaped the clutches of the Templars is skeptical about his angel that has literally saved his life. But can he  put aside old fears, and rules to get her to remain by his side? Will she even want too?

   The sexual tension and chemistry between the two will set them both ablaze and lead to an epic story that will take my fellow readers on another adventure. 

**SPOILER ALERT**
  Bella and Jacob make an appearance in this book, you may recall them from the original Nightwalker series. (Jacob is the first book) Here you get to see just what the "curse" is, and why they really don't know about the other species. They cannot see one another, but the normal humans can. Hmmm....Is your interest peaked yet? How will the Nightwalkers break this curse? Will they ever break it? 

    Well my dear readers you will just have to continue to read on and enjoy the journey to discovery as Ms. Frank and her cast of characters enlighten us.

Tangled Innocence (Book 4 of Dante's Cirle) by Carrie Ann Ryan

Tangled Innocence (Book 4 of Dante's Circle) by Carrie Ann Ryan

    Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes?

    As one of the seven lightning struck women, Nadie Morgan has known for a while now that her fate would be forever changed…and revolve around a certain dragon. From the first time Dante Bell saw Nadie, he knew she was the one for him. There’s just one problem–there’s another in his life he’s waiting on as well.

    When Jace Goodwin, a bear shifter and Mediator, finally comes back to the human realm after years away under circumstances out of his control, his first stop is to Dante’s Circle where he not only finds his dragon, but the woman they both have been waiting for.

     Once secrets are told and the sparks fly, Nadie’s new life becomes something she never thought possible. However there’s another realm at play and Jace and Nadie’s dragon will have to fight harder than he’s ever fought before to keep the life he’s waited eons for.

Warning: Contains one not-so-innocent human, a bear known for his bear-hugs, a tattooed and pierced dragon with a fiery temper, and a connection so explosive, you’ll be fanning yourself from page one.

About the Author

USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.

Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.

Carrie Ann loves hearing from readers. Visit the links to the left to contact her.

East of Ecstasy by Laura Kaye

We are so excited it's release day for Laura Kaye's EAST OF ECSTASY! EAST OF ECSTASY is the final book in her Hearts of the Anemoi Series. See below for a note from Laura and an excerpt!! East of Ecstasy Excerpt:
      By Laura Kaye You guys! I can’t believe release day for East of Ecstasy is finally here! This is the final book in my Hearts of the Anemoi series, which includes: North of Need, West of Want, and South of Surrender. 

       The Anemoi were wind gods the Greek associated with controlling the wind, weather, and seasons. In East of Ecstasy, hero Devlin Eston is the heir to the East Wind which has long been associated with unluckiness, misfortune, and, thanks to Devlin’s father, even evil. Devlin himself has been the victim of his father’s evil, and thereby finds himself an outcast among his own divine family. In this scene, heroine Annalise Fallston—who gets visions that she’s forced to paint in order to quiet them in her mind—sees Devlin for the first time. Here’s what she says:         Forcing the chaos in her mind away, Anna dipped her brush into the gray and stepped to the canvas. Motion captured her attention from the corner of her eye. The Dark Man, the subject of her recent paintings, stood in the doorway and leaned against the jamb. Anna jumped and her pulse raced, but this time, anger flooded in instead of fear. 
       “I will deal with you on my own damn terms,” she said, taking a perverse amount of pleasure from putting a figment of her imagination in its place. Because that’s all he was. He didn’t move or speak. Not that he could, since, you know. Figment.Of.Imagination. Anna rolled her eyes, done with being scared and so pissed to have to do this again that she was nearly out of her mind. “I’m doing your damn painting already. So just leave me alone.”
       She cut her gaze back to the expanse of white, but the desire to see if his image would still be there if she looked again drove her to distraction. Finally, she gave in and…he was still there. Completely still.Blatantly scowling.Totally unfathomable. Was this a vision? Another image she’d have to paint? Her heart tripped into a sprint, and she couldn’t look away from him. Like the compulsion that forced her to paint these images, Anna couldn’t help but return his stare and memorize his masculine features. The sharp angles of his face, the harsh set of his mouth, the dark shadows around his even darker eyes.Black eyes. Blades of black hair hung low over his forehead and just touched the hooded shirt he wore under his short, scuffed leather jacket. He’d crossed his arms over his chest, and the position caused his biceps to bunch up under the worn leather. In fact, everything about him appeared worn—the coat, the threadbare jeans, the scuffed boots. None of it struck her as the kind of shabby chic you could buy in some upscale store for a small fortune, either. The whole effect was rough. Dangerous.Deprived. Deprived? What a strange way of describing him. But as Anna’s gaze swept over him again, the thought stuck. For his height, he seemed thin, with his lean hips, clad in old black jeans, a trim waist, and pronounced cheekbones. 
        Her fingers twitched around the nearly forgotten paintbrush. What would it feel like to cup that harsh face in her hand? Anna gasped and tore her gaze away. She had to blink to pull herself out of the haze of thoughts. Frustration surged through her and tensed the muscles of her shoulders and neck. She didn’t want to be working on another of these paintings as it was, so the last thing she needed was to lose a bunch of time daydreaming. Or would it be daynightmaring? As she stared at the blank canvas, the image of the shackled man behind the prison bars filled her mind’s eye. Definitely the latter. Curiosity pulled her eyes to the left again. The doorway was empty.  

 So, did you have a favorite line from the excerpt? Thanks for reading! Laura


About EAST OF ECSTASY: The final chapter in the award-winning and bestselling Hearts of the Anemoi series… She’s the only one who can give him the strength to save them all… Annalise Fallston made peace with postponing her big-city dreams to care for her ill father, but lately she's been filled with a restlessness not even her beloved painting dispels. Worse, the colors don't speak to her as they always have, and all her efforts produce dark, foreboding images of a dangerous man and a terrifying future. Devlin Eston, black-souled son of the evil Anemoi Eurus, is the only one who can thwart his father's plan to overthrow the Supreme God of Wind and Storms. But first, Dev must master the unstable powers he's been given. Distrusted and shunned by his own divine family, he never expected to find kindness and passion in the arms of a mortal. But Devlin's love puts Annalise in the path of a catastrophic storm, and in the final Armageddon showdown between the Anemoi and Eurus, sacrifices will be made, hearts broken, and lives changed forever...or lost.

A Note from Laura:

Hey guys! I am so excited about Easy’s book that I can hardly wait for August to get here! Easy’s character was a total surprise to me. When I initially plotted out the series, there were four surviving members of the Army Special Forces team and therefore I planned for and sold four book in the series. But then, when I sat down to write Hard As It Gets, all of a sudden the story demanded there were actually five guys, and Edward “Easy” Cantrell was born. And I’m so glad! Because Easy’s character is a totally tortured hero, which I adore writing! So I’m super happy that we added his story and this novella into the series, and I can’t wait for you to learn about Easy in Hard to Hold On To! Is it August yet??? xo, Laura

Reveiw  Prejudice and the unknown can often  lead to people forming opinions that can be false.
     Or they can be totally true.
    Either way it is best to form your own opinon, then to listent o someone who just might be a little biased.

      In Deceptions of Night we take off with Alex, Kales baby brother as the newly elected Vampire Triad member in Kale's place. Alex doesn't want it, he hates politics and would rather be punching shifters in the mouth. But because his father and Kale, whom he can't refuse require it of him...he'll do it reluctantly.

     Thrown in a late night attempt on his life by a sexy jaguar shifter and you have the recipe for a hot, adventure with loads of intrigue , sex, and tension.

    Who exactly is putting the hit out on Alex, and what do they have on Shayla the jaguar shifter? Can they escape with their lives, and that of their families or will they both be victims in a bid for power?

    Holy Hell!!!

This book and series is definitely smokin! The intrigue and tension between the characters is great! I really loved Shayla and Alex's smartass remarks towards each other, as well as the sexual tension and later the actual sex....*fans self* Whew!

    Ms. Cavanaugh has outdone herself once again with this absolutely riveting tale, I could not put it down. I can't wait to read more from this awesome author!
