Review: To Tempt a Werewolf by Jessica Colter



Goodreads Synopsis
It's 1896 in Atlanta and Lila Andrews finds herself out on the streets without a penny to her name. When circumstances place her in the home of Asterot, a demon king, she suddenly finds herself the center of attention. Her reputation in tatters, Lila relies on the demon king to help her land a good husband. Admired by more than one gentleman, she begins falling in love with three young men. But in the end, she must decide on one. With two werewolves and a half-demon fighting over her, who will she choose? With all of them lords, she's a little intimidated. After all, what does the daughter of a merchant have to offer a lord? But in the end, love will guide her in the right direction.
I'm a huge fan of all things supernatural, though I'm not overly found of historical novels; this novel may just have changed my mind!
I was drawn into the historical romance of the novel and had my fill of the supernatural - 'just'! There was lots of action and character development. The relationships between the characters at times were frustrating and a little drawn out; however, the relationships were passionate which almost made up for the frustration!
The werewolf aspect of the novel wasn't really pushed which was a little disappointing. Yet clearly an attempt into the world of supes was there, though really this book was more historical romance than supernatural! Still a pleasant read.

Review: Embraced (Enduring Kiss #4) - C.E. Black

Embraced by C.E. Black Ann's rating: 5 of 5 stars Read as a standalone.  This is a fantastic book. It is an easy read but don’t start reading it too late at night or you will probably end up with a book hangover. It is very difficult to put down. Sean is a lost wolf. The woman he loves has married another man, and he is heartbroken. To relieve his suffering, he decides to get out of town and have a drink or two, then he meets Sarah. Sarah is a business owner of a bakery called Decadent Delights and her life seems to be going just the way she wants…until she meets Sean at the bar. Instantly there is an overwhelming attraction and she takes him home with her. Hot animalistic sex occurs (pun intended since Sean is a werewolf). But Sean leaves after one night. He can’t stay because Sarah is human and humans don’t mate with wolves. Two months later, Sarah has a major surprise and goes looking for Sean. And then the fun really begins. This story has sorrow, angst, anger but als...

Tour Review, Post & Giveaway: Shudder - Samantha Durante

Reviewer: Bex Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies Shudder is a strong follow on from Stitch, a book that I thoroughly enjoyed. What I particular enjoyed and thought that the author managed extremely well was the multiple viewpoints that she built in with the narrative. Not only did this allow us extra insight into the characters, but also the varying points of views added lovely depth to the novel. Samantha Durante's craft has improved and developed since book one. On the whole, her writing is tighter and flows that much easier. There were still a few moments within the dialogue that I felt was a little awkward, yet others could easily disagree. I’m just a stickler and very particular with dialogue. Yet again, there’s a fabulous twist that Durante mastered with skill and ease. This one wasn’t quite as much as a shocker as Stitch, but it still successfully made me do a double take just to be certain. Just the same as Stitch, Shudder left me ready and most definitely eager for t...
