Mistress of Pleasure

Mistress of Pleasure (School of Gallantry #1)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 (Wild,  #1-3)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.

Ruthless

Ruthless (The House of Rohan, #1)Ruthless by Anne Stuart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I got my first taste of Anne Stuarts work form a little short story titled "The Wicked House of Rohan." I later found out that that story was the prequel to the series that this book starts. I went to her website to see what other books she had written (had never heard of her before) and was immediately happy that there was more to the story. This book is outstanding. I loved Elinor, Francis, Charles, and Lydia. Most of all I loved Francis, Viscount Rohan. He is definitely alpha and when he wants something he goes after it and gets it. Elinor is the perfect woman for him, because she provides the challenge that his jaded life so sorely needed, plus she is the only one to truly stand up to him besides his friend Charles and his housekeeper Mrs. Clarke.

You will really enjoy watching these two couples fall in love, mainly Francis and Elinor, but you get a taste of Lydia and Charles also.

If you are the faint of heart, you best lay back and get comfortable, because this story is absolutely smoking hot, if you know what I mean.

Triangles

TrianglesTriangles by Ellen Hopkins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


At first I thought I wasn't going to like this book. I opened to the first page and thought, " I don't want to read of book of poems." That is what it looks like when you open it like it is going to be a book of poetry, even though you made have read or heard what it is about you will be a little confused by the layout. At least I was. Once I started reading it though I couldn't put it didn't. I can't really say what hooked me, because I didn't really sympathize with any of the women in the story. I guess it must have been all of the drama in their lives and the lives of their families, and believe me there was plenty all the way around.

All I can really say is to just give the book a try and see if it is your cup of tea.
I read a lot of reviews that said this book was really sexually graphic, but I guess my idea of graphic sex and theirs are really different, because I didn't see that at all. I believe that I read somewhere that the author usually writes young adult and this is her first foray into this type of book. Well, you really wouldn't know it by reading this, and yes their is sex mentioned, but so graphic that it would make anyone blush.

It's basically just the lives of these women, who all need some self healing and prayer. Looking for someone is else to validate them instead of realizing that they are wonderful just the way the are, with or without the men in their lives.
