How to Dance with a Duke

How to Dance with a Duke by Manda Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Lucas and Cecily are my new favorite romance novel couple. I loved that Cecily was so intelligent and independent and Lucas didn't try to change her in any way, just accepted her for who she was. I have to say that this is the first book that I have had the pleasure of reading by Ms. Collins, but it will not be my last. Once I finished I wanted more and more. I am sitting on pins and needles waiting for How to Romance a Rake.

This book is romantic with a capital R and is has just enough mystery to make it unique and intriguing without overshadowing the romantic elements. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. Just reading the little teaser in the back of the book has be counting the days until I am able to read Juliet's story. (Cecily's cousin)

A must read. You will not regret it.

Lord of Pleasure

Lord of Pleasure by Delilah Marvelle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I loved this. It was funny and romantic. I can't wait to read more books in this series. I loved the fact that with the edition of this book you kind of get a behind the scenes look of Mistress of Pleasure which was the first book.

All I can say is Ms. Marvelle has done it again and I for one am ready for more.

Caleb

Caleb by Sarah McCarty

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book. It was very erotic, so if you are not into that sort of thing then you may not, but the sex didn't feel forced. It fit right it with the plot.

What I liked most was how human the story felt even though it is about the paranormal. Mainly vamp and weres. I loved that there is a group of paranormal beings who don't have all of the answers to the things that are going on around them. That is what made it feel like it was about regular humans instead of paranormal beings.

Most of the time when I read a paranormal romance of any sort the vamps, weres, etc... are never unsure of themselves and are usually more confident about the things going on around them. In this book you will find vamps and weres who are very close to their humanity. Especially Caleb, who is everything you want in an alpha male. Strong and dependable with a little bit of vulnerability thrown in for good measure.

Mistress of Pleasure

Mistress of Pleasure by Delilah Marvelle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Loved it. I don't know if I have ever read a historical romance that was exactly like this one and I must say that I loved every minute of it. It was hot and steamy and very funny. I am currently reading Lord of Pleasure and it is promising to be just as great. It just goes to show that falling in love, even when you are not trying to can be fun and sexy.

Running Wild

Running Wild by Sarah McCarty

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I loved this book. You get three sexy men all in one book. I am a paranormal fanatic and everyone has there idea of what any paranormal being can do. Some the same, some different. I loved that these wolves could heal with their saliva (hope that's not giving away too much). I don't think that I have ever seen another author have that particular characteristic with there weres.



All of the stories seamlessly fit together and every mated pair fit together just as well. My favorite pairing was Donovan and Lisa, because their personalities were the truest fit (I need to find another word, lol) to me. She was the exact yin to his yang.



All of the love scenes were hot and steamy and were definitely realistic. I felt like a voyeur when they were together ( which I loved). The all had me fanning myself.
