"Born To Be Wild" [The Others Series, Book 15] by Christine Warren

My Book Summary : Josie is the local veterinarian in her home town. She is also a bit of a loner but she can't get enough of the animals she helps out. However, when Sheriff Eli Pace barges one night she's closing up, with a wolf-shifter her world as she knew it changes in an instant.

Eli, a lion-shifter, was just planning to roam the woods after work until he found the shifter all banged up. Since they live in a small town in Oregon he new something bad would happen to the shifter if she wasn't checked out right away, so even though Josie only deals with pets, she's going to have to put her knowledge to good work to find out what's wrong. Since something is definitely wrong when a shifter isn't able to transform back into it's other form.

Now while Josie tries to find a cure, Eli is on the search to see who could have done this before another shifter gets hurt. But as they work together, trying to concentrate on the case and not each other seems to be getting harder by the minute ...

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! Considering I hadn't previously read any other books from this series, I really got drawn into this novel. Especially since I really like shifter novels, plus this one was different in that the rest of the "human" population were aware of shifters, and that is one of the main reasons that the wolf was having a problem (people who didn't like any shifters were out to get them). Then to top off the mystery part of the book, the romance between Josie and Eli was HOT and just a great read to find out what would happen between them.

Book Teaser(s) :

"I can't treat them if I can't touch them."
"And you can't touch them if they rip your arms off," he shot back. "I want you to promise me that you won't go in that cage on your own even if you think they've got them both sedated."
"If they're unconscious, I don't see what they could do to hurt me."
"Promise."
"Eli---"
"Promise."
She gave in with very little grace. "Fine. I won't go in the cage unless I have someone else around."
"Unless I'm around."
Josie rolled her eyes. ~ within Chapter 13

Feasted On: Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 783 KB | Release Date: August 2010 | Publisher: Harper Collins

"Paranormalcy" by Kiersten White

My Book Summary : Evelyn (Evie) has been working for the International Paranormal Containment Agency (also known as the IPCA) since they found her when she was 8 yrs old and learned that she had the ability to look through any paranormal's glamors and see the truth of what they are. However, even though she has that ability she always considered herself a normal human, or as normal as she could get by living in an "institute" and having a best friend who just happens to be a mermaid.

Soon her life turns upside-down when a intriguing shape-shifter breaks into the place she lives, gets caught and held in one of their "prison" cells. Evie fines that this boy who broke in is like nothing she has ever seen and feels nice to have someone to talk to who is closer to her age. However, once she gets to know him she learns that there is something out there that he is trying to find out about and stop before it starts killing all of the paranormals. In addition, she starts to learn that there might be more to herself that meets the eye and she might not be able to consider herself "normal" ever again....

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars, "Paranormalcy" has plenty of twists and turns to keep you wrapped in this novel right up until the end!! Plus, the ending leaves you wanting to find out more about what Evie is going to do with her life now. And I'm left wondering what will happen to that "thing" that was attacking the paranormals? Will it strike again? Plus, the weird romance triangle that Evie is in, is just to strange to talk about ... I mean I know I want her with the shape-shifter but the fairy seems adamant that she'll be with him instead. =0/

She turned to me, an intense look on her face. "Yes. I need you to tell me everything you know about Lend."
"Why?"
"Because the Supervisors are coming, and he's one of our only links to what's happening."
"That's stupid! That makes it sound like he's connected to it. He's not a link, he's a resource."
"I'm afraid we see it differently. What has he told you?"
I folded my arms, glaring at her. "What makes you think he's told me anything? And, even if he has, why would I tell you?" ~ within the Chapter called 'Hearts Aglow'

Feasted On: Nothing But Trouble by Rachel Gibson

Format: Paperback | Pages: 354 | Release Date: April 2010 | Publisher: Avon Books

"Nothing But Trouble" by Rachel Gibson

My Book Summary : Mark's hockey career took a nose dive when he got into a car accident, since then he has changed into a person who really doesn't care about anything. Also, what makes him the most bitter is to know the hockey team he lead up until his accident recently won the Stanley Cup without him.

Because of his condition during his recovery the team has been sending "health care workers" to his house to assist him much to his annoyance. So, he tries his hardest to get rid of them from his house and life as quickly as possible. However, his latest worker is more of a "personal assistant" instead of in the "health care" field and she plans to stay working for him as long as she can not matter what.

Chelsea has been a "personal assistant" before, to plenty of snobby and rude celebrities, and she plans to just deal with Mark's dark moods no matter what. The only problem is trying to still be a professional around him when he just happens to be half naked and showing off his ultra hot bod!! Will these two butt heads the whole time together or will they finally get onto some common ground??

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!!! This was my first time reading a book by Rachel and I have to say it was a "hit out of the park!!" I LOVED the chemistry between the main characters ... I loved the back stories and the sub plots. It would have been perfect if only there was more to it then where it ended, yet I know it couldn't last forever. *sigh*

But I will definitely have to check out more from this author ... you never know what other goodies I might find!

Book Teaser(s) :

"Shit." He removed his hand and rolled onto his back.
Desire still pounding through her veins, Chelsea wondered if he'd meant "shit" because he'd had to stop. Or "shit" because he shouldn't have started.
He raised one arm and covered his eyes. "Please let this be another nightmare."
She guessed that answered her question. ~ within Chapter 10

My Q&A with Sandra Edwards :

Jess : When and why did you being writing?

Sandy : I discovered writing when I was about thirteen, after an English assignment to write a short story. My classmates’ stories were maybe half a page and most of them had fairly large penmanship on that assignment. My story, on the other hand, was five pages long. It was then that I discovered writing and how much I loved it. All through high school I acquainted myself with the craft by entertaining my friends with short stories.

Jess : Do you have a specific writing style?

Sandy : No, at least I don’t think so. My style depends on the story I'm currently telling. I always adjust as needed.

Jess : What appeals to you, when writing a ‘paranormal’ book?

Sandy : Time travel, ghosts and reincarnation are my favorite paranormal elements to write about. I love exploring past lives and the idea of “what if you could go back in time?”. It’s always interesting to me to ponder thoughts on what an individual might do given the chance to change the past.

Jess : Do you have a favorite character that you’ve written? If so, in which book and why?

Sandy : A favorite character? That’d be like choosing a favorite child. My favorite character is always the hero and/or heroine that I’m currently writing.

Jess : What sparked the idea for your novel, Incredible Dreams?

Sandy : A fascination with ghost stories and time travel. Ghost stories where people have died tragically (and weren’t murdered) always leave me feeling sentimental. After fusing a couple of these tragic tales together with my other fascination: the 1940s, I came up with the idea for Incredible Dreams.

Jess : Is it fun to write from two different view points?

Sandy : I love writing in multiple view points. When it comes to romance I don’t feel like I’m getting the whole story if I don’t get to experience both the hero and the heroine’s POV. Likewise, if it’s a suspense, part of the story is missing if I don’t get a peak at what’s inside the “bad guy’s” head.

Jess : Which usually comes first for you, the character(s) story or the idea for the novel?

Sandy : The first book I wrote was a combination of a character/story idea. The idea for the book was sparked by a song, but it was curiosity over how the songwriter had gotten himself in this situation that began to take shape in the form of Crazy For You.

Jess : Did you put any of your personal experiences into your books? If so, which book and why?

Sandy : No, my books are all completely fiction.

Jess : How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?

Sandy : I’ve completed six books, and I have a plethora of WIPs (works in progress). As with characters, my favorite book is always the one I’m currently working on.

Jess : Do you have any other projects in the works? If so, can you share a little of your current work with us?

Sandy : I’m in the process of wrapping up the second book in the Soul Searchers series titled Vegas, Baby. In this book, without giving away too much of Broken Wings’ plot (the first book in the series), let me just say that while Broken Wings was about Rio learning about her previous life, this book is about Rio and “her” life.

I’m also working on a book titled Forever For You, which reunites the cast of Crazy For You and throws them smack-dab into the middle of a murder mystery.

Jess : What book are you reading now? How do you like it so far?

Sandy : I’m currently reading Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry (something I became interested in after my husband talked me into watching the mini-series). It’s a very entertaining read even though, for me, the pacing seems to read a bit slow at times.


-- I was sooo happy about having my FIRST interview!! Thanks Sandy!! It was great talking with you and getting into your books!! --

Feasted On: Underfoot by Leanne Banks

Format: Paperback | Pages: 377 | Release Date: March 2006 | Publisher: Harlequin Books

"Underfoot" by Leanne Banks

My Book Summary : Trina never expected her day to go from being a guest at a disaster of a wedding to sleeping with the now non-groom that very night! She new both of the people getting married the bride was the great-granddaughter of her boss at Bellagio, Inc. and the groom was a marketing person she dealt with on occasion at her office and they were kinda friends (but mostly just respectful acquaintances). However, after the bride leaving the groom at the alter Trina notices Walker, the groom, at a bar not far from her apartment. They get to chatting, one thing leads to another and she offers to have him spend the night at her place (on her couch that is) but after they chat a little more things spark between them and the two end up in an night full of passion.

Trina never expected anything to come out of that night, so when she finds out that Walker is moving to France for his company, right after she finds out that she's pregnant she is really relived. Especially since, she knows that Walker wants NOTHING to do with being a father.

A little over a year later, Trina's plans take a nosedive when she finds out that not only Walker is back in town, he also plans to work with Bellagio, Inc. again. Now there is no way to avoid Walker and she is very afraid that her secret will come out. What will she do? And if her secret does come out ... how will Walker react?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! The chemistry between Walker & Trina is palpable, I just couldn't get enough of this pair!! =0)

Book Teaser(s) :

Sad Fact: It's not unusual for a woman's feet to grow a half to a full size during pregnancy. Often enough, her feet will remain a larger size. Best consolation: a new wardrobe of shoes in the proper size. ~ within Chapter 8

Jenny raised her eyebrows. "Walker? I always wondered if the two of you would hook up if he and Brooke weren't together."
Trina felt her cheeks heat and frowned at the sensation, lifting her martini glass to take a sip. "No chance. I'm not his type. He's not mine."
"Why not? You're pretty and intelligent."
"I'm not a high-profile heiress," Trina said.
"You really think that's what he wants after his experience with Brooke?" Jenny asked doubtfully.
Trina shrugged. "I don't know. He's not my type, either. Doesn't want kids." ~ within Chapter 11
