BOOK DESCRIPTION:

He’s out of control

Dougal Kincaid has something to prove. After being injured in a battle with the Malcontents, he’s ready for active duty protecting unsuspecting mortals from these villainous vampires who want to rule the world. But first he has to get control of himself . . . because just the sight of a certain lovely doctor has his injured hand doing some peculiar things, not to mention the sizzling sensation that burns along his dragon tattoo . . .

Vampires? Vampires?! As a scientist, Leah is having trouble believing that these immortal creatures exist. But there they are, standing in front of her, asking for help in solving a genetic puzzle that can save mankind. There’s even one in a sexy kilt! Just one look into Dougal’s gorgeous green eyes sets her pulse racing. But can she trust him—and the overwhelming desire that refuses to be ignored . . . ?

REVIEW:

The Love at Stake Series is a fun and sexy paranormal series. Hot vampires in kilts with sexy accents. Yummy! The Vampire With the Dragon Tattoo is Dougal Kincaid’s story. When Leah is hired and he sees her on the surveillance camera for the first time his dragon tattoo burns and he feels an instant connection to her. Leah wants nothing to do with anything supernatural, but has trouble resisting Dougal even if he is a vampire. I enjoyed their story and look forward to the next book in the series. Kerrelyn Sparks is on my automatic buy list. I recommend this book and this series for paranormal lovers.

Teaser: An unedited clip from Obsession by Jennifer Lyon

This was taken from Jennifer Lyon’s FB post today:

“You’ve seen, and felt, me full force when I’m thrusting hard and deep into you. I don’t hold back with you when we’re together. Couldn’t if I wanted to.” She undid him every damn time.

–Sloane Michaels from Obsession (book 3 in The Plus One Chronicles) coming *hopefully* around the end of September.

Dangerous by Jacquelyn Frank (Jax)

Dangerous by Jacquelyn Frank
Publication Date: September 5, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading In Pajamas/ Donna
Rated: 4.5 Stars

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

“Jacquelyn Frank knows how to write an intense, rip-roaring good read!” –Cathy Maxwell

A body that won’t quit
Clothes that are barely there
Eyes that openly invite him to take what he wants

Devon Candler is nothing like the helpless, vulnerable woman Liam expected when he agreed to provide security for her secluded Catskill Mountain estate. Yet her life is at risk. Her enemies monsters. Her secrets devastating.

Liam Nash is a trained killer who takes no prisoners, fears no man. But to him this woman is seductively, devastatingly. . .

REVIEW:

JAX delivered an exciting new world when introducing the Morphites. They can pass as humans but are so much more powerful, seductive, dangerous and cannot be killed. Devon is a strong and powerful woman. But her intelligence has come at a price and she needs Liam’s team to protect her. I enjoyed how his special ops team worked together and their easy camaraderie conveyed that they have been together for a long time. When you add the instant chemistry between Liam and Devon, you have a riveting story. Their romance was hot and intense, a perfect backdrop to the dangers surrounding them. I cannot wait for the next book in this new series.
