Master of the Moon by Angela Knight (Mageverse book 4)

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Diana London leads a double/NO MAKE THAT TRIPLE LIFE. She is the city administrator for Verdaville, South Carolina. She volunteers at night for the Verdarville Police Department; Oh and she is a werewolf - who happens to be in heat this time of year. Can it get any more complicated? You Bet! Verdarville is Diana’s fief( territory) when a female vampire moves into town & starts murdering innocent people to fuel her magical powers, Diana is determined to put an end to her.

King Llyr Galatyn of the Cachamwri Sidhe (Faires) allies himself with Former High King Arthur Penedragon, now Liege of the Magi (vampires). As an ally he will help Magekind try & defeat evil vampires who are spread throughout the earth. It won’t be so easy for these vamps are not like the Magi; they have magic like the Majae (witches) only they grow stronger as more death occurs . Llyr& Diana have been dreaming of each other, so when he spots her picture in a newspaper at Magekind court, he knows his must start the fight in her town.

The chemistry between Llyr & Diana is hot. No one talks to the King the way she does, of course he likes it Especially since he is hot for her. Their sex scenes are hot & witty. The funniest parts have the magical King live a non-magical mortal world, while chasing the ‘bad guys’. Trying to give a review & not reveal too much is always a laugh. Diana has the hard task of masking the Fairies presence in her small town (where everyone knows your business, of course) Secrets are the main part of this book. King Arthur and the Majae are not to know about the werewolves, Diana can’t reveal to her people that she is involved with the Sidhe, Llyr would not betray Diana to the Athrur’s people. Not all Sidhe are on the Kings side.

Evil vamps, magic resistant werewolves, Fairies with divided loyalties, double crossing Sidhe, plans within plans. Yet the story slows just at the right point so you get to know the main characters. No score card needed The ending is not the usual fairy tale smooth. Just because you win the fight doesn’t mean you get the girl (even if you are King) without some political fighting from your people.

Mercenaries by Angela Knight

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Three short stories from A.Knight, all crew members from the same Mercenary Ship Starrunner. Trinity, The Thrall, Claiming Cassidy. Outcast on a world of religious zealots Trinity Yeager must find a way off the planet before she is forced onto the bridal auction block. Her only hope is to convince the Captain of the team of mercenary soldiers that she is capable of doing anything to join his crew.

Nathan August, Captain of the Starrunner, can’t get his supplies fast enough & get off of Rapture’s Colony. When the beautiful Trinity wants to join his crew, it’s just not a safe life for most. To scare her off he says the only position open is to be his personal sex toy - when she accepts he adds his first officer to the deal. Trinity is up for it all to escape

Bedesem Colony was founded by people who are into BDSM. Many little kingdoms of Dom’s(Male & Female) exist, the thralls are subs. A kidnapping in the Domininality of Rabican brings the crew in for a clandestine rescue mission. First Officer Sebastian is to go uncover as a thrall to find out where the Dominors son is being held before a rival Dominess breaks him. Sebastian doesn’t expect to find a delicious asset in the Dominess of Corvo’s daughter Zaria, or what he would do to keep her.

The crew of the Starrunner is pitted against a group of Dharani warriors (mercenaries themselves) for the possession of a little colony world of New Galveston. Lieutenant Cassidy Vika is a fighter pilot from the Starrunner who is at the losing end of a dogfight with Major Rune Alrigo (Dharani warrior). With no other choice she decides to land her damaged ship on the planet below. Rune follows, to finish the job. He doesn’t expect to come across a woman who could be the mate he has longed for.

All three stories are good, the first & third are my favorites. Trinity is spunky - especially how she tells off the zealots. Nathan is typical male but it is a sweet story with HOT SEX.

It would have been fun to have Sebastian turn into a switcher(someone who can be Dom & Sub) that is my biggest beef with the book. Alpha men are so much fun but Alpha females are as well. Their sex scenes start off HOT.

Claiming Cassidy, now that I think about it, is my favorite. She is tough, smart & not intimidated at all by the stud Rune. Humor with the first time BJ had me smiling & an in depth look at the warrior society Rune comes from in a short story was satisfying. How they come together & stay that way has me wondering if AK would revisit this universe she created.

The Possession by Jaid Black

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

Kris Torrence, is a prim, proper professor who wants to experience sexual submission just once in her boring life. A classified ad in a newspaper for an island resort catches her eye it’s for a gentleman’s’ resort that needs women comfortable in the role of submissive sex slave.

Jack Mckenna has been Kris Torrence’s longtime nemesis. When he too vacations at the resort and sees a naked sex slave who reminds him of his longtime, unrequited desire, he decides to buy her. When they finally meet it is the shock neither will forget.

Jack is the bane of Kris Torrence’s existence. When his friend and owner of the resort invites him to vacation there at the same time, the fun begins! Kris has no idea what to expect when she agrees to be a plaything for rich men. I especially liked how the new girls are masked then massaged into accepting stroking from strangers. It was a SIZZLING HOT way to start. Her reactions to Jack are most revealing, intimate. You feel it is just the two of them, not an island full of rich Dom’s. Jack’s emotions swing from one extreme to another as he must try to win her. Jaid Black’s characters have some sense of humor - not all erotic romance has to be about angst or sex. I look for humor in life so to have it in my books is especially nice. Definitely a keeper for my STEAMY collection (if you like books that are not for the faint hearted).

One Dark Night by Jaid Black

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

Dr Nikki Adenike is successful & always in charge of her professional life. She longs to give up some of that control and feel possessed by her fantasy Dom. But be careful what you wish for; her fantasy turns into a very real nightmare named Lucifer - the serial killer of many successful woman. Nikki, the only woman to escape, is in danger. The detective investigating the crimes wants her to open up to him, bringing a passion neither expected.

I love the way Jaid Black writes. This mystery is a little more tame than her other books. The plot combines Murder, Mr “Too Good To Be True” from an S&M chat room, Romance (Nikki & Thomas feel so real their first meetings had me laughing), Sex, well done with the S&M theme. It was erotic with such honest feelings expressed so well. Throw in the phychic friend and the book doesn’t disappoint those who love romance books that are not always straightforward.
