Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs(Review post)

Published March 18, 2016 by bookbesties

mercy

Tensions between the fae and humans are coming to a head. And when coyote shapeshifter Mercy and her Alpha werewolf mate, Adam, are called upon to stop a rampaging troll, they find themselves with something that could be used to make the fae back down and forestall out-and-out war: a human child stolen long ago by the fae.
Defying the most powerful werewolf in the country, the humans, and the fae, Mercy, Adam, and their pack choose to protect the boy no matter what the cost. But who will protect them from a boy who is fire touched?

First, can we first appreciate how GAOrgeous this cover is, they all are!

I have been a fan of the Mercy Thompson books for about four years now, having discovered them late and it did take me about two books in to become hooked but HOOKED I became. We find Adam and Mercy living their normal lives of her being a coyote shapeshifter married to the Alpha werewolf of the Columbia Basin pack. After the last book, Mercy finds that she has nothing to do with her time and since she has no idea where to look for her missing friends (Zee and Tad) she is left twiddling her thumbs. Until she gets a call about a troll on the bridge eating cars, and thus ensues the crazy world that is Mercy.

Briggs has always had a way of telling a few different stories and then have them weave together so seamlessly you are left like, ‘oooh, NOW I get it,’ and this one is no exception. I usually devour her books having to deal with the wolves (if you have never read her Alpha and Omega series you are missing out) and after DEAD HEAT (Alpha and Omega) I was thirsty for more, and she delivered.

We have the Fae, Bran, and the werewolf pack as normal in the story but we also are introduced to Aiden, the Fire touched human boy who isn’t really human, or a boy. This book to me was a information packed book, with minimal action, although what was, was pretty good, and a lot of set-up for more to come.

“Again, I called this meeting to give notice. If I hear or hear about any of you saying anything to my mate that is in the least bit disrespectful, I will end you. No warnings, no second chances. I will end you.”

And the biggest ‘mic drop’ award goes to…Adam for FINALLY stepping up!

I was not disappointed with the book, and I liked the way it ended, just wish there was more.

After a threat to her life becomes very real, Cassandra is torn from the only world she’s ever known and thrust into the very reality and truth that have been hidden from her since she was born, including the prophecy that is her birthright.
Unsure whether she has the strength to be the woman she needs to be, and more than aware that her decision controls the fate of a world that doesn’t know she exists, Cassandra has to choose between the love of a man who barely registers her existence and loyalty to a father she barely knows.

From a young age L.J. Stock was led by her imagination. From the moment she could read she fell into worlds where trees could talk and little girls could move things with their minds.

 

In no hurry to grow up, she found stories all around her, in the forests of Plym Bridge, the moss covered hills of Dartmoor, then, as she grew older, the wide spread city of Houston, where she currently resides and works. A constant daydreamer, she hopes that one day, her passion can become something more than just a hobby for her.

 

Still led by her imagination, the worlds have slowly grown from childish adventures to urban fantasies and romances. With inspirational authors such as Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Judy Blume, John Grisham and Stephen King guiding her through her life so far, L.J. Stock has finally decided that it is time for her to go for gold and try land herself on someone else’s future list of favorites.

 

Putting words on paper is as essential as breathing to her, but on the rare occasions that she isn’t writing, she can be found with a video game remote in hand or curled up on the couch with her pup and a good book. Music is also such an important part of her life, it’s a wonder there isn’t a background soundtrack playing wherever she goes.

 

A good girl to most, a bad girl to a few, L.J. believes that every genre should be attempted and is more than likely to have tried to release three hundred series’ ranging from vampires and werewolves, to dystopian and even classic romance, before she reaches even middle age. At least, that’s the plan for now.

Excerpt

 “You’re on a total pussy high.”
Immediately I bite, “I’m not…That’s…that’s not even a thing.”
“It’s a thing,” Chance corrects before downing his own bottle of water. “And you’re on it.”
“It’s cute,” Becca backs him.
“I’m not cute,” I gripe.
“Not when your forehead wrinkles like that.” Becca points as Chance laughs. “So, what’s her name?”
“She doesn’t have a name because there is no her.” When her mouth opens to argue, I snip, “You have a chair to be flipped around in. Are you done?”
Becca continues to tease me with a tap on the chest. “You must really like her.”
I do. I really fucking do. It’s a growing problem. Part of me knows it’ll pass. It always does. It’s just….usually passed by now. That’s gotta be what’s throwing me off. I’ll get over it and just enjoy fucking her rotten until I do. There’s no need to pull my friends into something that’s not gonna last longer than another week. And it won’t. While I’m doing shit I don’t normally do like cook dinner, give back rubs, and spend the night at her apartment, it doesn’t mean it’s not temporary. Why are you looking at me like I’m a moron?

Jacob: Kings of Guardian (Book 1) by Kris Michaels(PROMO POST)

Published March 11, 2016 by bookbesties
Book: Jacob: Kings of Guardian (Book 1)
Author: Kris Michaels
Genre: Military Erotic Romance
Synopsis

Victoria Marshall didn’t cooperate by dying in the Afghani hell-hole like the CIA expected. Defying all probability, a privately-funded black ops group led by a handsome, sexy-as-sin southerner pulled her out of the warlord’s prison cell and brought her home. Even half out of her mind with pain Tori knew this man was special. She made a date with the commander to meet one year later at a restaurant of his choice. Keeping that date was the best thing she ever did.
Jacob King found little physically attractive about the woman he saved from the warlord’s camp, though it was hard to see what lay under the filth and suppurating wounds she suffered from countless beatings. He admired her brave humor in the face of her agonizing injuries. This kind of tough-minded woman was someone he’d like to know as a friend. He never expected the leggy, blond bomb-shell in the red dress who showed up for their date.
But then he never expected she would save his life, either. In a world of shadows, smoke, and dangerous covert missions, where people routinely vanish and living one more day was never a given, Tori and Jacob fight to build their happily ever after.

Excerpt
Victoria tried to stop her nervous drumming of her fingers against the car door, but the alternative was to check her make-up…again. Her hand lifted to her hair to smooth it back. Damn, she just couldn’t sit still. Once again, she wondered if she had gone overboard on the dress and shoes. The flame-red angora wool dress hugged her body like a second skin and molded to her toned thighs. The combed angora gave the illusion of softness that almost forced a person to touch the fabric. Her breasts mounded tantalizingly above an ultra-low scoop of the neckline and the now nicely toned muscles of her long arms peeked from the shoulder to cuff slits in the sleeves. Her classic, four-inch black Louboutin pumps with the red soles that matched her dress made her six-foot, two-inches tall, but the man she remembered from the plane would still be taller. A simple, black leather rope necklace with her favorite diamond solitaire drop and diamond stud earrings completed her ensemble. She checked her lip stain and added some gloss.
For the first time in a long time, she worried about what someone thought of her appearance. The sensation sent a small tremble of fear that she tried to squelch. She wanted Jacob to see her for who she was now, not what she had been. A larger wave of anxiety washed over her at the thought he might not show hit her once again. Her fears had mocked her all year, but tonight they screamed for attention. He only kept you company. The talk of the date provided nothing more than a distraction to keep your thoughts from your injuries. Tori’s eyes misted as she fought the disappointment that threatened to overtake her.
Two years ago, these types of emotions wouldn’t have run rampant. What happened to that fearless woman? Life happened. Her time at the ranch in South Dakota had healed her body and therapy had helped her learn mechanisms to cope, but from time to time, the PTSD still kicked her butt. She blinked several times and tried to talk the fears away. She repeated reaffirmations almost as a mantra. I can do this. What’s the worst that could happen? Okay, so he doesn’t show. If he doesn’t, I’ll have a glass of wine while I wait for the car and go back to South Dakota. This date doesn’t impact who I am. Still…he would show. He had to.
The streetlights passed and she recalled the steel blue eyes of the mercenary who’d saved her life. She saw his massive muscled shoulders and chest, the way he towered over his men and the way his uniform accentuated his wonderful physique. Tori blushed at the desire she felt. For weeks after the rescue, she had meticulously recreated every memory, every glimpse she’d had of Jacob. When she recalled his sense of humor and his smile, the tenderness in his eyes and the gentleness of his hands, it brought her a warm sense of comfort. Lord knew she would recognize his voice at once if she heard it again. That deep southern accent with its rich timber surrounded her every recollection of him and visited her in dreams at night. Every detail of the man seared a profound and permanent brand in her memory
The car slowed as it pulled near the front of O’Malley’s. The driver lowered the privacy glass and explained he needed to wait for the limo in front of them to unload its passengers. Victoria looked at her watch and noted the time. Ten minutes late. She worried her bottom lip nervously. God, she hoped the grace period he granted still applied. The young chauffeur pulled up, parked, exited the car and jogged around to her door. The driver opened the door with a flourish and held his hand out for Tori as she exited. At least thirty people milled around the immaculately landscaped courtyard, preventing Tori from seeing if Jacob waited for her.
*
Jacob looked back towards the front of the building, his impatience growing in exact proportion to his pain. A long sexy leg adorned with come-fuck-me-now stilettos appeared from the vehicle at the curb. He and every man in front of the establishment turned and admired, as a smoking hot blond emerged. Her mass of dark honey-blond hair veiled her face when she unfolded from the car. The fire engine red dress she wore should’ve been illegal. It molded every curve of an exceptional, toned body. Whoever that woman’s date was tonight had better have a gun. Damn, that woman was combustible. Discouragement started to set in. Where the hell was Tori?
The phenomenal beauty in the killer red dress finished her conversation with her driver and moved with graceful ease onto the sidewalk, her eyes focused on the front door. Well…fuck me. He couldn’t prevent the Cheshire cat smile that spread across his face as he recognized her. My God. He’d hoped she might be an acceptable looking woman under the filth and bruises, but damned if she didn’t surpass acceptable by miles. You are one lucky son-of-a-bitch, King… I think someone up there likes you after all. Tori scanned the crowd, and he stepped forward.
*
She recognized his towering stature the instant she saw him and her face lit up with an unadulterated smile of delight. With a self-discipline she didn’t know she had, she took her time walking up to him. Her eyes lingered on his dark grey Armani suit, black shirt, tie, and matching sling that held his left arm. The man was far, far sexier than she recalled. His broad shoulders stretched the suit jacket and he stood several inches taller than her heel-enhanced stature. Her body shivered with anticipation as she stopped directly in front of him and looked up into his eyes.
On a desire-filled impulse she leaned forward, careful not to touch his injured arm, and kissed him softly on the lips. “Thank you for not forgetting our date.”
Jacob’s eyebrows rose and his voice rumbled in a low whisper as his good arm circled her waist and held her in a light embrace. “If that kiss is for not standing you up, what do I get for rescuing you?”

Bound For Hell – Excerpt
When we reached the apartment, I ran straight for the shower, leaving Ethan in the kitchen to start on the pancakes. I needed time to compose myself, cleanse my body and mind of the conversation which had seemed to sully the morning. Leave it behind, forget it. It was the first time I’d ever shared my shit with anyone, and it would teach me to leave it where it belonged. In my poisonous past.
     When I finished, I dressed quickly in jeans and a top, and padded barefoot toward the kitchen, squeezing droplets of water from my hair with a towel.
     Ethan had his back to me, unaware of my approach, and was slamming about in a rage, anger radiating from every pore of his body. As I came within a few feet of him, he seemed to lose it all together, and raising a bowl in the air, smashed it down violently into the sink.
“E, what are you doing? What’s happened?” I gasped, stunned by the vehemence of his demeanor.
My presence startled him and he swung around to face me, his eyes dark, nostrils flared with seething rage. Seeming to war with himself, he opened his mouth to speak, but the words failed, as if they’d already begun to evaporate before he could form them. Instead, he just stared at me, his eyes dark and intense with emotion boring so deeply into mine that they seemed to reach inside my very soul.
Suddenly he moved, striding swiftly toward me and without a word, flung his arms around me, squeezing me so tight it stole the breath from my lungs.
“What is it?” I asked, fear gripping my heart with the frightening possibilities raging through my mind.
As if the physical contact with me offered sustenance, he relaxed his grip, his face angling to look down at me through glistening eyes. A profound sadness seemed to have engulfed him, a helpless, angry veil shrouding his usually poised mien. Then, as if to dispel the emotion that even impeded his speech, he shook his head and closed his eyes. As he did, a solitary, angry tear escaped from the corner of his eye and spilled on to his cheek.
“E, please tell me. What’s wrong?” I pleaded.
When his voice finally emerged it was hoarse, barely above a whisper. “You.”
Me? I was causing him this apparent agony?

“Why? What have I done?”

The slaying of Ethan’s demons has made their fortress of love stronger than ever.

But Angel continues to paper over the cracks of her troubled past, running from the demons that chase her and the nightmares that plague her. When a twist of fate forces her to confront them, she finally begins to accept that her repressed memories need to be explored in order to attain the peace she craves.But in her search for Nirvana, Angel discovers far more than buried memories.

What happens when the worst nightmare you’ve ever encountered is the one you wake up in?

“More,” I murmur. She needs more, like I do, every time I’m with Seb. My own need blooms in the pit of my stomach, and my clit longs for the friction of my thighs, my dress, my fingers.

“You should recognise this, Isabel. I’ve done this to you. I’d like you to watch this evening. Look at what the Dominant does and how his sub reacts. Let yourself enjoy it. Understand?” The deep tones of Seb’s voice stoke my growing need. I melt into him.

He’s right. I do recognise this. The sensuality and carnal nature of the scene steal my curiosity. I see her, but I also see me. I feel her arousal as my own. The lion stops his stalking. The flogger rises and descends. Thud, thud, thud. Each strike matches my heartbeat as the fronds fall to her back.

The man covers her body with his. He traces the shape of her slender body with his hand before his palm slaps. He pads back a few feet and swats her again with the flogger in his hand. The muscles in his upper torso transfix me. They tense before each strike, a snap in his arm to deliver the next blow. My eyes follow his movements and I see the sub relax into her restraints after each hit. A rhythm ensues, their exchange mesmerising.

Minutes merge together until I pant with frustration. The steady beat of Seb’s heart pumps against my back. He presses our bodies close, shielding me from any stray eyes. I want more. I want his touch. I want his affection. The sub’s desperate moans mirror my desire.

SYNOPSIS

Miserable and dejected in her marriage, Isabel Fields encounters a stranger in a bar promising an opportunity to change her life. Nonetheless, she must make a decision she thought was reserved for other women. 

Sexual dominant, Sebastian York, specializes in igniting passion in his lovers, but women always come and go, and he’s never had a woman to call his own.

Leading Izzy, a natural submissive, on a journey of sexual awakening, their casual arrangement soon grows too confining. Seb satisfies everything Izzy has craved and she instinctively bows to his dominant personality, fulfilling his every desire.

Their casual arrangement ignites Isabel’s long-buried passion and touches her heart, but Izzy struggles with the emotional turmoil that plagues her soul.

Sacrifices will have to be made by both, putting their love to the test. Izzy stands to lose the marriage she dedicated years of her life to, but has a chance to gain a relationship she’s always longed for. All depends on whether Sebastian proves to be the love of Izzy’s life, or leaves her wanting more…

First in a new series—welcome to the Sinner’s Creed Motorcycle Club, where hard bodies and hot leather are made for each other, and love gone wrong is the most irresistible of all…
 
“I was the demon-possessed monster and she was the innocent, naïve angel. But none of that matters. She asks, I give and right now, I’ll kill anyone who tries to stop me from giving this woman what she wants—me.”

Dirk lives in the shadows—performing hits, maintaining order, and upholding the no-holds-barred legacy of the Sinner’s Creed Motorcycle Club. A nomad with a restless spirit and a cold heart, the open road is his world. One of the few constants in his life: his desire for the one woman who has consumed his thoughts for years.

Saylor Samson grew up far from the harshness of Dirk’s world. But ever since she was seventeen she’s been drawn to this dark and mysterious man who always seemed to show up just when she needed him.

After years of fated encounters, he’s back. This time he’s taking her. This time she’s ready for the ride. But just when the darkness in Dirk’s life begins to fade, Saylor reveals a secret that puts them both to the ultimate test. Now, Dirk has to make a decision: submit to his destiny with the MC, or choose his own.

I have a weakness, ever since Sons of Anarchy graced my life I have an obsession with biker books like nobody’s business. I have read the good, the horrible and the hands down great! Sinner’s Creed falls into the later category and I must say I thought I knew how this was going to play out, you’ve read one biker book you’ve read them all right? WRONG! I was so wrong.

First off, it’s told solely from the male’s POV(Dirk) and while I have read books that are told from the male POV, those have been very few and far between. I kept turning page after page to get to Saylor’s POV and there was none! which at the time I was all like, WHY?! but, I totally got why and it made it all the better.

Dirk is a nomade enforcer who is like all biker guys with his *uck love motto and live for the club die for the club saying, but he has been running into Saylor Samson his whole life. There is something about Saylor that draws something out of him everytime he runs into her and it isn’t until almost 10 years later he finally talks to her. Here is the part where I got super frustrated with Dirk, I needed him to ask questions, demand answers as to why Saylor did and said the things she did. But NOOOO, Dirk had the don’t ask won’t tell motto rocking hard and it wasn’t until we were both vested in this that the proverbial crap hit the fan.

I cannot say how this book didn’t have the traditional ending that have become synonymous with all romance novels but the fact that it didnt made me love it that much harder! It goes against the grain, and I wanted to be mad, but it just wasn’t in me. but I cried, I was so choked up I needed a minute, and I loved it. So very much.

To me, this book is about opening yourself up to new things and possibilities and in return being changed so deeply by it, you are able to find peace when you thought your life was nothing but.

I have to admit, I never thought I’d cry while reading a book from a male’s POV, but dammit, when things went south and Dirk showed some real emotion, I was right there with him and then the end just TORE ME UP! Kim Jones(I have a friend with this same name) made a fan out of me in that moment.

I have very few go to MC author’s that I will one click, Joanna Wylde, Kristen Ashley and now, Kim Freaking Jones!
