Savannah Teale has an obsession with the supernatural-to disprove it. An unorthodox Ghost Hunter with a dark secret, she doesn't believe in life after death. Not anymore. Being romantically challenged since the traumatic death of her fiancé, she has no interest in dating, but her sister's loving interference has led her to accept a date for a 1Night Stand.

Cameron Evans is one of Savannah's most handsome, charismatic, and sexy
bachelors. He's an exceptionally gifted tour guide, and a psychic, but
hasn't learned how to turn off his gifts. Since his conversations with
the dead are a turn-off for most women-to put it mildly-Cameron has
turned to Madame Eve to find a woman who can accept him for himself and
all he has to give.

They may be a great match-if a certain, lingering ghost would just step
out of the picture.

Savannah's Ghost Tale was a fantastic twist on a traditional ghost story. Cameron is a wonderful hero and I’m so glad he was able to deal with his needs as well as those of his spectral visitors. Savannah comes across as a very capable, strong and determined woman and it was interesting watching her being put into a situation where she was not in control. I love the scenes with her sister, there is something just so genuine about their interactions. The setting of this story is fabulous and almost takes on a life of its own, as if it were a main character. I actually want to book my vacation right now. I think those readers who enjoy watching ghost hunter shows will love this one and don’t worry about the phantoms, spirits and specters giving you chills as the scorching sex scene will warm you right up.

Davien is bidding the human realm adieu, having no reason to stay. Before he leaves, he craves a night of intense, exotic sex and dares Madame Eve to find an immortal willing to touch a demon. There is such a female, but she's an Under Huntress. A demon killer.

For Kara, sleeping with the enemy is beyond forbidden. It's something much stronger—tempting. Drawn to the rumors of their sexual prowess, Kara asks if there is a demon open to the possibility of spending a night with his enemy. The answer is yes and only she and the demon would ever know....

When bodies are bared and labels are forgotten, neither can deny their fates are sealed the moment they met.

A Demon’s Lure is a fantastic break from a busy day! Kara and Davien are wonderfully complex and developed characters which is very refreshing in a short story. I never felt I had to compromise at all because of the length of this story. The world building was spellbinding and I found myself caught up in the magical mystical world that existed outside of the hotel room. Just when I think the mysterious Madame Eve cannot surprise me anymore she does. I am a romantic and heart and when I see two lonely people find comfort with one another in truly makes me happy and that is what this story did for me. I witnessed two people take a chance, take that leap and it left me with a smile on my face. I believe this is one of those stories I just might read again to capture that happiness whenever needed.

In Love Like Blood, Julianna Gold’s health isn’t the only thing holding her down, her oppressive relationship is also taking its toll. Raiden Vagner is a vampire who heard Julianna’s call years before and has been searching ever since. When they finally meet, Raiden hopes he’s in time to reverse the damages done by her MS and when threats on her life become stronger, they’ll have to trust each other to keep Julianna alive.

Rubies, Sapphires, And Ivory is a shorter story about Niccolo and Ivory. Niccolo is a vampire out in the world for good times and interesting company. Ivory is just trying to make enough money to pay her debts and really start her life. They meet in Italy while Ivory is working as an interpreter and after a lovely meal, they spend a long night together, only to have Ivory have to leave in the morning. Unable to get her out of his mind, Niccolo tracks Ivory down and they rekindle their passions, but when Ivory realized Niccolo is something more than he seems, any chances of a relationship will go on hold.

In the second story, JJ Massa kept things simple and short, making it a quick, sexy read without the usual gloss of perfection vampire stories sometimes embrace. Ivory is human and when she was frightened, she acted like one. The first story was a little tedious because too many voices got added to the mix. The storyline itself was a great idea. I wanted Julianna and Raiden to get together and the danger line of Julianna’s husband being so angry and unhappy pushed the suspense along. Unfortunately, with so many different points of views having their say, the urgency deflated right when it could have exploded. Vampire lovers will still enjoy the story because Raiden is yummy and Julianna really is a very likable character. It was a great idea that just didn’t quite pan out which is why it only made three diamonds.

REVIEW

The intriguing world of Ardenia filled with tragedies in the past and facing many changes continues to be important in this second book in the series dealing with finding the three lost princesses.

Kitty came to the human world years ago in a child’s foolish moment of adventure. She has lived under the ruthless control of a powerful man since then, cast under a memory spell and knowing nothing of her past. Previous attempts at escape have never worked and she tries to accept her miserable life. And then a handsome gambler comes into her world, winning her freedom if she will go away with him. But is she leaving one man’s control for another’s?

Jack Avery wants a chance to gain favor with the Queen and be accepted in his homeland of Ardenia again. To do so he must find and return another of her missing daughters in the human world. Cast under a spell, she doesn’t know what happened to her, or that she is Princess Noelani. She goes with him, but reluctantly at first. Yet as they travel together, they face an overwhelming sexual need for one another. He finds his original goal changing, but…

The characters in the series get better and better. I pulled strongly from the beginning for these two lost and wounded souls as they struggled to deal with their past lives and find happiness with each other.

In this fourth book of The Queens of Merab series, Princess Temair is seeking the last of the four elemental Consorts that she must have before taking over the throne of Merab. She arrives in the lands of Earth and is immediately drawn to Elan, the biggest of Lady Earth’s sons. He is almost completely opposite her first three Consorts, far different than his other twenty-six siblings, and is surrounded by a sense of calm and steadiness that she can’t resist.

Elan, the thirteenth son of Lady Earth, thinks wistfully of belonging to Temair and her other Consorts, but he is certain his dream can never come true. He isn’t a first son like the other three Consorts. He isn’t as beautiful on the outside as the others. And he is huge, intimidates most women. How could he possibly ever be considered for the final husband she seeks?

With this book, the rebellion is growing stronger. Temair has discovered what a troubled society she will rule over, how men are abused and exploited. She cannot allow that to continue, but first she must have all of her elemental powers and the support of her four Consorts. Even as she nears gaining all that she needs, an enemy who has followed the Princess and her Consorts reveals himself, shocking them with his identity.

This has been an exceptional series from book one on. Reading each new book has been like going back to look in on the lives of old friends. The characters have grown both in the depth of their characterizations but also in the strength of the special relationship built together. At first I wasn’t sure about how four men could share one woman, especially four such strong men. But Violet Summers convinced me that it was possible. I look forward to more stories about these characters and their friends.

This series gets better with each story. You do not want to miss reading any of the series!

Princess Temair continues on her tour of the Queendom to find her third Consort. Her first two husbands travel with her and she falls more deeply in love with them as time goes on. But she faces her first real challenge in the Land of Aire in claiming her next consort. At the same time she works through this obstacle, a scheming villain is in the background and determined to end her life.

Aire Lord Zevan lives a miserable life, would like to escape it, but doesn’t believe it is possible. He has known only humiliation and the worst side of women. Temair’s kindness shocks him as much as he is drawn to her. But can he dare to hope for the life she offers him?

With each novella, the reader is gifted with a chance to grow more in love with the men in Temair’s life. Each man is so different from the others and yet fits both perfectly with her and with the family she is creating. At the same time the romantic relationships are developing, a plot thickens for war in the background. This is another definite keeper.

In this book two of Queens of Merab, Temair is finally stepping toward taking over her role as Queen of Emetra. She must find and marry four men from the different elemental worlds, men who will complete her. Along with her first consort, Miach Lord Fyre, she moves into the Rayne lands to search for her second consort. Yet the task of searching out her next husband is not the only problem she faces. A rebellion is brewing and someone wants her dead.

Dathan, Lord Rayne, is almost a complete opposite of the prickly Lord Fyre. He may be the eldest son of the rulers of Rayne, but he believes he is also the least likely of the seven sons to be seriously considered as a consort for the next Queen. But on first sight of the arriving royal couple, Dathan is drawn to the “luscious little Princess” and to her hottie first consort. Miach could be a problem, though.

This series just gets better. The characters are wonderful, the mix of magic and sensuality interesting, and the sexual tension hot, hot, hot. I was in love with the first consort, but now I love both of the men.

Temair isn’t ready to be the next Queen of Emetra, but her time has come. She isn’t ready to go into the Queendom and find the four consorts of the various elements that she must marry. Again, she must do what is necessary. When she meets her first consort, a handsome and proud warrior of Fyre, he lights an unexpected spark within her.

Miach, the eldest Lord Fyre, has only lived preparing to battle and train. He has never considered marriage, nor desired it. But when the heat flies between he and Temair, his life changes whether he wants it to or not. She chooses him for her first consort and he can’t refuse. And maybe he didn’t really want to anyway.

There is an interesting cast of characters set up in this first story in the series, The Queens of Merab. Conflicts are many, particularly external. And the sexual tension grows steadily into heat, heat, and more heat. You will want to read all of the stories in the series.

Bonnie and her sisters have cast a spell to find their true loves. Carly went first, but now it is Bonnie’s turn. Bonnie meets her man on his way to fishing trip with his brother. Bonnie’s response to Dirk causes her to lose control of her abilities and flood the house. Will Dirk stick around to clean up the mess or head out to meet his brother?

This story was disappointing for me which was surprising because I usually love Abby Wood. Although Bonnie and her sisters have distinctive personalities Dirk is a completely absent character. I think this would have worked better as a longer story as a short one it was lacking.

Although she is on the run as an Outcast, Aria can not help but aid a fellow shifter in need. Aria’s good deed leads her to something unexpected her dead mate. Lukas MacLeod has been searching for his wife for the last year and had just about given up hope of finding her when Aria arrives with a member of his pack. As the target of a fanatical shifter Aria is unwilling to put anyone else at risk even for a second chance with her true love. Will Lukas be able to convince Aria that they can be together and still keep the pack safe?

I found this story to be a pleasant surprise. The plot was interesting, well thought out, and just dramatic enough to keep the tension running high. I even enjoyed how everything was wrapped up at the end. The relationship between Aria and Lukas was very special and sweet. They had a very strong bond and I was rooting for them all the way through. There were two things that kept this story from being a 5 for me. First of all, I found a lot of grammar errors in this book. They were well spread out but distressing nonetheless. Also I would like to have seen more into Lukas’s perspective. The author provides little glimpses but never a complete shift away from Aria. However, if you prefer your story to be completely from the heroine’s viewpoint you won’t have my same issue. Overall it was a really good story and I wouldn’t mind reading from this author again as long as her work is edited better.

Sera has lived 300 years and never experienced an orgasm. Unfortunately she confides that fact to her friend, who insists on taking her to Captive Fantasy, a sex club.

Valentino, who works at Captive Fantasy, finds something very intriguing about the shy Sera and is determined to get closer to her. Neither Valentino nor Sera are quite what they appear to be. Can they overcome their differences and find a way to be together?

I really enjoyed this story. Valentino and Sera are really sweet together and make a wonderful couple. I was pleasantly surprised by this story because there were a lot of surprises concerning Valentino’s identity and made for a very unique story. Overall this was well written, had really good pacing and the story kept me interested from start to finish. The only thing I wish had been included was more background on the main characters, especially Sera, but the story still came across well without it.

“Archaic and powerful demon, Alessandro, knew never to disappoint his overlord, but Samhain night on Earth is a new experience for this red-hot guy. When a captivating scent leads him to a Halloween party, he finds Gwenny. The witch is everything he never even knew to dream of. The only problem is, he’s due back in Hell in the morning with somebody’s soul…and it looks like it may be hers.

Unable to resist Alessandro’s wicked allure, Gwenny doesn’t realize the danger she’s in until their night of passion comes to an end. If Lucifer’s demands are refused, will they both survive, or will Gwenny lose her heart and soul to her cinnamon-loving demon?”

My first jaunt into the Demon Rhelm with Ms Richards newest short story won’t be my last, this story may be short but it packs a lot into its pages. Pages that are feeled with wonderful discriptions and dialogue that flows and keeps the story moving. The two main characters are engageing and even in the short period we believe the romance that is blooming. Ms Richards has remembered that golden rule, Sex and love sceens should enhance the story not the other way around. With or with the sex this story stands on its own. Not that the love scene doesn’t heat things up to degrees that any Demon would love J. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I found myself smiling through all 40 pages.
