Haunted Review

Have you ever heard something go bump in the night and wonder if someone was there? Only to go looking for the cause of the noise and find nothing at all. Or how about unexplainably feeling like you’re being watched when you’re completely alone? Things disappearing for no reason or strange ghostly footsteps in the hall? This book is a collage of short stories about a few of the otherworldly experiences I’ve had. Although they are not movie worthy, you may find them interesting. All the stories are %100 true. Nothing has been added for dramatic effect.

I was drawn to this book by the cover and 100% true part. Real accounts of ghosts which weren’t all spectacular but I found it interesting enough to keep reading. Great short stories, especially the last.

Erotic Healing Review

A tragic accident shattered Brenna Halsted’s hopes and dreams. No one wants a runway model with angry scars that hurt long after the pain should have faded. Although her best friend tries desperately to talk her out of it, she decides a one night stand with a stranger on the other side of the world will break the cycle of bitterness and misery she has fallen into.

Kostas Drakos fell in love with the spirited runway model nearly a decade ago. His heart longs for the woman who makes his body and soul ache. While the world watches her downward spiral toward depression, he’s determined to make her smile again. If a single night in his arms could break through the barriers, he would be content to see her happy. If he can make her love him while he’s at it, better yet.

Can Madame Evangeline and her mystic ways bring two people together despite the limits of a one night stand?

This short has interesting characters, it’s well-written, and the sex is nice and steamy. It’s very short but I liked it, especially the delightful twist at the end. I see this is part of a series and I've never read any of the others but this is just fine as a stand-alone too.

The Games We Play Review

This is a short story

A smoky bar, a few too many drinks, it had all the makings of a perfect night. It looked even brighter when he walked in. "Tall, dark, and delicious," she thought. Too bad Veronica didn't realize he was having the same thoughts about her. She looked very delicious…to the predator. A shot with a chaser quickly turns into just a chase. Running for her life was not how she thought the night would end. Veronica had always had a thing for games. She could only pray she would win this one.

Sasha's Revenge Review

Seeking revenge, Sasha tricks Conrad into an awkward position. Tied up and helpless, she drags the truth from him. His answers, and her reaction to the situation, are not what she expects, and her night of revenge soon becomes hotter than she imagined. This is a sequel to two characters from Creatures of the Night. They were so much fun, I wanted to continue their story. It's available free on Smashwords.

A Vampire’s Salvation Review

Jacob La Costa Rios is the head of the California governor’s security team; he’s also a vampire who wants the governor, a presidential hopeful, to support the peaceful integration of vampires into human society. Unfortunately, there are others who oppose Jake’s plan. Plus, Jake’s a little distracted by discovering his one true mate, the human female who can give him everything he’s always wanted: love, children, and continuing immortality. Francesca Marie Stewart is the governor’s “go-green” political consultant.

Although she’s been attracted to Jake from day one, her priority is her career and protecting her heart. But then Jake blatantly propositions her and Frankie, who hasn’t experienced sexual intimacy since she was seventeen-years-old, decides it’s time to take what she wants—within reason. No matter—once Jake makes love to Frankie, he knows reason will be the farthest thing from her mind. Then he just has to eliminate the person threatening her, reveal the fact he’s a vampire, and convince her that trusting him will bring both of them eternal happiness.

A Vampire's Salvation (Beyond Human Novellas #1)A Vampire's Salvation by Virna DePaul
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved it! A short story with a satisfying ending. Hot and steamy with just enough danger and intrigue to keep it from being erotica. Great characters, great romance, great developing, great author.
