Review: Reign Of The Wolf by Dianna Hardy

Reign Of The Wolf by Dianna Hardy My rating: 5 of 5 stars Reign Of The Wolf is the epic conclusion of Dianna Hardy's Eye Of The Storm series, and what a conclusion it is! With unexpected twists, brilliant pacing, and an intriguing plot development, there wasn't a moment I wasn't captivated. Dianna Hardy brings the series plot threads together beautifully and smoothly. There were many moments where I had the "ah-ha!" moment of previous threads falling into place. This book was so worth the wait. What I especially loved was the opportunity to fall in love with the characters again. I swooned, melted, laughed, and indeed shouted and cried. The author pulled at so many emotions as she pushed her characters along and weaved their tale together. The ending was truly perfect. ~ ~ ~ Reign Of The Wolf  (Eye Of The Storm #6) by   Dianna Hardy   (Goodreads Author)   4.46    ·    Rating details  ·    13  Ratings  ...

Review: Dianna Hardy's Rise Of The Wolf

Rise Of The Wolf by Dianna Hardy Bex's rating: 5 of 5 stars With Dianna Hardy 's next installment in this amazing dark, paranormal romance, the reader is faced with off-the-charts levels of heat and intensity. The passion, combined with the extraordinarily well-developed plot, ensures the story unravels at a perfect pace and will provide the reader with the perfect escapism. It's impossible for fans not to be invested in the author's world of shifters. Hardy's real skill comes in her ability to craft relationships, ensuring dynamics are three dimensional and original. Book five in the Eye of the Storm series is no exception. No doubt fans will be cheering, growling and weeping at the sidelines as Hardy continues to push her four wolves into unfamiliar, exciting and, at times, heartbreaking territory. She does so by mastering the craft of successful paranormal romance novels, ensuring the side plots don't overshadow the main story and that readers remain 10...

Series Blitz: Eye of the Storm Series - Dianna Hardy

The erotic, paranormal fantasy, werewolf series that's got everyone hot under the collar: first book FREE. IMPORTANT NOTE Although this series deals with romance, it is not written to be a standard romance. Its focus is on the theme of man vs. beast, and higher consciousness vs. baser needs. Although humorous in places, this series is also highly erotic, dark, and contains violence and scenes that may disturb some readers. Combining fast-paced action, dark humour, with elements of romance and horror, the Eye Of The Storm series takes us on a journey alongside werewolves and their enemy, The Tridents, beginning with Lydia – a twenty-five-year-old waitress trying to find her way, who has no idea what she is, or who she's destined to be mated to. Sex, secrets, lies, and the dawning truth of what really matters, come to the fore as every phase of the moon brings a new surprise. With four books already out, and two more to be published, it's looking like th...

New Release Blitz: Broken Lights by Dianna Hardy

Title : Broken Lights Series : None. Standalone Author : Dianna Hardy Genre : Contemporary Romantic Fiction Norman Smithson is at the end of the line.

The characters, who I have pretty serious crushes on, contin...

Blog Tour Review & Giveaway: The Spell of Summer - Dianna Hardy

The Spell of Summer Blog Tour Stop 4: The Damaged Woman   I always feel like I’m stirring thick cookie dough when I write a damaged woman, and I keep stirring and stirring, and the dough HAS to be perfect, and my arm is really starting to hurt now, but I have to get it right, so I keep going… And that’s the story of the woman, really, isn’t it? We Just. Keep. Going. Certainly if you’re a parent, you’ll know this, because there is no other choice. You don’t stop if you’re ill – you’re kids still need you. (Sorry to use motherhood as an example – it’s just the most obvious one I can think of.) When I read books, I actually don’t like to, and often don’t “become” the characters. Not by intention, but that’s just naturally the way I’ve always read (although I did fancy myself as Jo from Little Women , when I was six J ). I remember I would pick up a book when I was a kid (one of the Famous Five ones, or Sweet Valley High – any book – and I couldn’t wait to get...

Review: Heart of the Wolf - Dianna Hardy

Heart Of The Wolf by Dianna Hardy My rating: 5 of 5 stars By far, the third installment is my favourite in Dianna Hardy's Eye of the Storm Series. I was blown away by the heady emotions that the author successfully captured. Her four main characters have evolved to a level where I feel a deep-seated level of emotional involvement. My heart was constantly pounding, sometimes with heartbreak, at others in excitement as her four amazing characters navigated through their journey together. To be honest, because of how involved and caught I felt in this novel, I found it a challenge to read. On one level, this was because I was dreading that my read would be over, on the other, because my heart went out to so many of her characters. Dianna Hardy has made me truly care about them. This is an amazing feat. As always, the author's writing style is smooth and flawless. Her settings are well established and her humour is witty and entertaining. Yet it is essentially her character...

Cover & Blurb Reveal & Giveaway: The Spell of Summer - Dianna Hardy

Once times thrice, I bind thine heart to mine, to hold, to never part. Scribbled words on parchment found under her mother's bed - they couldn't possibly mean anything, even if her mum is a white witch. But to fifteen-year-old wild child, Meredith Goodwill, they meant the world when she uttered them to Jamie, the fun-loving boy who stole her heart that last summer she spent in Cornwall. Thirteen years later and now a straight-laced accountant in London, the words have been forgotten; the summer a faded memory ... until Meredith stands at the altar on her wedding day, looks the man she's about to give her heart to in the eye, and calls him Jamie. Her wedding is in tatters. To appease her hurt fiancé, and at her mother's insistence, Meredith's new focus is to track Jamie down and reverse whatever she unwittingly did when she spoke those words from her mother's spell. But how will she convince him to believe in 'magic' so he can help her un...

Blog Hop Tour: "Love and other Demons - All about The Witching Pen novellas"

It's an exciting time of year for the fabulous Dianna Hardy and for all of her fans too. We're almost at the point where we will finally get our hands on the final installment of Dianna's Witching Pen series. Until then, be sure to get excited and enjoy getting to know one of her hunky characters a little bit better. With The Last Dragon released on 4 th October, we’re having a little recap at everything that’s happened in this paranormal fantasy romance series so far. Today, we meet Lucifer, the first of God's angels to have fallen from Heaven. Most consider him a legend, and wonder if he even existed – that's how 'mysterious' Lucifer is as a character, and we soon learn that he likes to keep things hidden, as hinted at in the blurb to The Last Dragon : … her right-hand-man, Lucifer, has secrets which are causing fissions among every race. It's hard to talk to much about Lucifer without giving things away, but he is dark, and deep (too ...

Blog Hop Tour & Giveaway: Werewolf Love - Dianna Hardy

There's always time to spend drooling over werewolves. I have a major soft spot for shifters, and Dianna Hardy has quickly become one of my firm favourites in creating HOT-AS-SIN shifters that are sure to get your body temperature soaring. Meet the werewolves of Dianna Hardy's Eye of the Storm series! Writing About Werewolves – Character Profiles: Taylor Name: Taylor Harper Age: thirty-three Dark brown hair, longish at the front Green eyes. 5 ft and 9 inches Slim, but very toned. Taylor is one of three (or four) main male characters. Lydia has a sudden reaction to Taylor as soon as she sees him. I wanted to write a parallel between how she responds in her hot, sex dreams and how she responds in real life. This parallel and her reaction to Taylor is the very first clue that nothing is going to be simple or standard in this series! Taylor needed to be written as the expression of humanity. He is the indicator that the human mind can still exist among a more animal-...
