18 & Over Tag-Along: September 3-5, 2010

A new tag-along for the adult crowd!! It's being hosted by Laurie @ Bitten by Paranormal Romance.

Here's the Rules

This is a tag along for a specific group. In order to do tag along you have to primarily have a book blog that reviews and post adult content. In other words, if you read books like erotic and adult romance and have adult pic., then you can play tag along. Sorry YA readers, but if you read both (I know some of you do) you can tag along also. Just make sure you have both YA and adult romance on your blog.

Review: The Accidental Werewolf by Dakota Cassidy

Title: The Accidental Werewolf
Author: Dakota Cassidy
Published: February 5, 2008
Publisher: Berkley Trade
Source: Personal Library
Format: Kindle
Genre: Paranormal
Series: Accidental Friends #1
Characters: Marty Andrews, Keegan Flaherty
My Rating:

Heat Level: 2/5
Synopsis:

When Marty Andrews gets bitten by a mangy mutt while walking her teacup poodle, her blond hair darkens, the hair on her legs starts growing at an alarming rate, and her mood swings put her dream job as a sales rep for Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics in serious jeopardy.

Then a drool-worthy man shows up at her door claiming that he accidentally bit Marty. And since he's a werewolf, she is now, too. Thinking Keegan Flaherty is clearly insane, Marty refuses to believe a word until a kidnapping makes her realize there's more at stake than just her highlights. And she must put her out-of-control life in the hands of the man who makes her blood run wild in more ways than one...

Well, it was official.

This was a laugh a minute! I laughed from the beginning of this book until the end. Marty's two Bobbie Sue trainees, Nina and Wanda, definitely added major laughs to the overall story. The story progresses pretty quickly.

It starts out with with Marty being accidentally bitten by Keegan while he's in his wolf form. Keegan was lurking in an ally and couldn't resist her smell, thus causing him to get caught, and the bite taking place. This all happens within the first couple of pages, so there is no big work up to getting to the point of the story. It immediately takes off from chapter one with no lags.

Marty was an okay lead, but I think Nina stole the show. At times Marty seemed rather ditsy and shallow, not at all the type to be paired with an alpha male of a wolf pack. Keegan was great in the fact that he was putting up with her. Near the end, she did manage to pull it together a little. This was a lite fluff read without any kind of depth. It's very funny, but you won't form any connection with Marty and Keegan.

Review: Mail Order Bride for Two by Elle Saint James

Title: Mail Order Bride for Two
Author: Elle Saint James
Published: June 3, 2009
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
Source: Personal Library
Format: Kindle
Genre: Erotica/Menage
Characters: Clarissa Barnes, Logan Granger, Derek Brand
My Rating:

Heat Level: 5/5
Synopsis:

Running from an employment disaster, Clarissa Barnes escapes to the badlands of South Dakota with the promise of home and hearth with a stranger. When her mail order bride contract falls through upon her arrival, two gorgeous cowboys step up to save her with a seductive offer she can't refuse.

Logan Granger and Derek Brand engaged a "special" bride from back East already willing to serve as companion to them both. When their mail order bride jumps from the train rather than meet them, they opt to convince a beautiful stranded woman the opportunity for seductive pleasures.

Can three strangers make a life filled with passion in the harsh wilderness of the Badlands?

And what will Clarissa's two lovers do if her past comes back to haunt her?

"Shit, how much longer do we have to wait for her to show up?"

After Logan and Derek's intended bride jumps off a train in order to avoid marrying them, they decide to marry Clarissa, another mail order bride on the train whose intended husband has married another. Immediately after the wed, they have sex for nine solid chapters. All three of them are exchanging words of love after the first sexual encounter. Even though this book was majority sex, it was still a nice, and naughty, read. Logan and Derek were very good with Clarissa, and never once did I feel that there was or would be any jealously between the two men. I did end up really liking the characters and look forward to continuing the series.

Waiting on Wednesday: Volume 1 Issue 17

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. It is showcases upcoming releases of books that I'm looking forward to. It is somewhat similar to one of my previous posts, Anxiously Awaiting.


Title: No Mercy

Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon
Release Date: September 7, 2010

Live fast, fight hard and if you have to die then take as many of your enemies with you as you can. That is the Amazon credo and it was one Samia lived and died by. Now in contemporary New Orleans, the immortal Amazon warrior is about to learn that there’s a worse evil coming to slaughter mankind than she’s ever faced before.

Shapeshifter Dev Peltier has stood guard at the front of Sanctuary for almost two hundred years and in that time, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought. Now their enemies have discovered a new source of power- one that makes a mockery of anything faced to date.

The war is on and Dev and Sam are guarding ground zero. But in order to win, they will have to break the most cardinal of all rules and pray it doesn’t unravel the universe as we know it.
