Fortune's Honor by Jamie Craig, Amber Quill Press, 2008

Copied Back Blurb

Clay Putnam has always been the responsible one in his family. He runs the family ranch, Good Fortune, by himself and takes care of his ailing mother. He is happy to make sacrifices so his brothers can follow their own dreams, especially his younger brother, Ty, a bull-rider on the professional rodeo circuit. But he leads a very lonely life, and he longs to meet a woman who could love his home, and his family, as much as he does. Paige Murphy fell for Ty's boyish charm and exuberance, and she agrees to spend her summer vacation at the Good Fortune Ranch while Ty follows the rodeo all over the western states. She is happy to be engaged to Ty. Until she meets his older brother. Clay is mature, thoughtful, and very attractive. She thinks he might be interested in her as well, but they resist their mutual desire out of love and respect for Ty. Passion and a surprising tragedy, however, drives Paige into Clay's arms, but honor, not infatuation, dictates who they are...

I'm in SCCM class this week so I'm not going to post much, but I will try to keep up with my count.  This was another good Hell's Eight by Sarah McCarty.  I have been looking forward to it and continue to look forward to the next one which is Tucker's story.  I've also been reading her Promises series and that's a good one too.

Mate of the Wolf by Karen Whiddon (Nocturne Bite, 2008)

Copied Blurb:

Rule Number One--Date only Pack members.... She knew he was definitely not part of the Pack, but the immediate intense attraction Allie felt for Kane overwhelmed her good sense and convinced her to toss her rules out the window. The fact that she couldn't detect his scent did not concern her--she knew he was unlike any man she'd ever known, and she had to be with him, whatever the cost. He couldn't believe she didn't recognize him--he'd known instantly what she was. After four hundred years, Kane had finally found his Svetla, his one true mate. But a union between their two races was expressly forbidden. So now it was time for Kane to break some rules of his own....

I just started All Through The Night by Various authors. It is tales of Erotic Romance.

Enchanted by Nancy Madore, Spice, July 2006 (a collection of erotic fairy tales)

The book contained the following stories:

Beauty and the Beast- reviewed before, see http://community.eharlequin.com/content/6-spice-briefs, Bluebeard, Cat and Mouse, Cinderella, East of the Sun and West of the Moon- Reviewed before, see  http://community.eharlequin.com/content/6-spice-briefs, Goldilocks and the Three Barons, Mirror on the Wall, Mrs. Fox, Snow White in the Woods, The Empress' New Clothes, The Goose Girl, The Sheep in Wolves' Clothing, The Ugly Duckling. The Ugly Duckling would be the one rated Very Good with a Heat Wave steaminess rating. That was my favourite story with the most distinctive moral.

This is a book of three stories about three female cousins who are very different from each other in both attitudes, lifestyles and physically.  Each story is very erotic and fun.  The first is by Patrice Michelle and a continuation of her "Bad In Boots" series which I already read and blogged about.  I enjoyed discovering the other authors and found these stories to blend together ni

Kushiel's Justice by Jacqueline Carey

(Hachette Books - 2007)

Rating: Excellent

This is a gorgeous book...emerging after close to 900 pages I'm not quite sure what to do with myself, other than to wait for the next one to come out in paperback.

Carey's latest sees the protagonist, Imriel, son of a traitor, through a forbidden love, an arranged marriage, and a quest for revenge. Much of the book is a poignant look at grief and loss, and healing through love.

My Review:

Science Fiction romance with a robotic and genetically engineered Warlord hero (from the future) and a present day reporter heroine.  She's investigating a serial killer, and he is sent to protect her from that serial killer who is actually wanted by officials in the future.  They have a hell of a time trying to prevent the serial killer from killing women, and the killer taunts the heroine with his plans for making her one of his victims.  The hero won't let her out of his protective sight, which naturally leads to some very very steamy sex scenes, one scene basically rolls into the next.  This is erotic romance after all!  Great plot, great steam, characters that are interesting and fun.  Personally I prefer Angela Knight's vampire stories (the Magiverse series) to this tale of the future, because I find blood lust sexier than gadgets from the future, but that's just a personal preference.  This book was a fantastic and incredibly steamy read, and I really enjoyed it. 

Favourite Quote:

An hour later, Jane realized she was a slut.

This is one of the best Black Lace novels ever released. A wonderful combination of erotic romance, suspense and adventure. A strong heroine, some very shady characters and lots of hot sex (multiple partners). The book doesn't have a traditional romance plot, so don't expect it. And some of the sex is definitely not PC.  But the pacing is great, the story surprises and the ending is satisfying.
