The Bride of the Unicorn by Kasey Michaels

A historical romance that was very enjoyable to read. Murder, kidnapping , revenge and insanity all combine to make a novel that is both intriguing and full of suspense. Morgan Blakely,Marquis of Clayton, is determined to uncover the truth behind his uncles dying confessions as well as extract revenge on a gentleman he once considered to be his closest friend and confidante. A penniless gutter snipe orphan who works in an insane asylum as well as a confused senile elderly Lady and a loud mouthed poetry sputtering dwarf combine together to bring mayhem madness and love into a story that is a real page turner. A great read and well worth the time spent. * * * * and a promise to myself to read more form this Author.

Slave To Sensation by Nalini Singh

Another new author and all I can say is why did I wait so long to read this book. In a world dominated by those with psy skills with no feelings what so ever, the lead character meets her match when she comes up against a changeling alpha who senses more than what is obvious. With a hidden agenda of his own and several murders to solve trust wars with lust and the lives of all concerned are about to be changed forever. This book is sexy, erotic,fascinating and a great debut novel in the Psi/changeling series. I highly recommend this book and will happily follow the other three installments. * * * * * from me....... high praise indeed.

Undead and Unemployed by Mary Janice Davidson

A new author for me and one I will happily continue to read. If you are into the Brothers of J.R.Ward you may find this light hearted look at vampires not to your liking but if you want a comedy take on life as an Undead then this book is for you.Our heroine is Queen Betsy a newly formed vamp with a fetish for shoes and shopping and an uncanny talent for attracting danger and mayhem. An evil stepmother, one gay and one billionaire as house mates, a consort who leaves her angry and frustrated at every turn and you are starting to get the picture. While it is definitely not dark and dangerous, and the Brothers of Ward are to die for,this book is just right for a light comedic read and I will continue with this series for as long as the author writes them. We all need a good laugh in our lives at times. For me this is a * * * * read and I would happily recommend this author to any who enjoy a lighthearted approach to life and death in general.

Innocent as Sin by Elizabeth Lowell

I am so glad I read this book as the first novel I read by this author did not impress me a great deal. This book however was a real page turner. Suspense and intrigue, murder, art, high society arms dealers and international bankers all combine in a novel that is fast paced, action packed and interesting. A personal banker becomes involved in laundering dirty money and before she has a chance to see which way the wind blows she is thrown into an international politically motivated adventure that leaves her shell shocked and unarmed against a killer with no morals and even less scruples.Our dashing hero rides to the rescue but are his motives any more pure or is he also a man with a mission of his own to fulfill. As I stated before a great read and * * * *

Wicked By Shannon Drake ( Heather Graham)

As I found out after the event this book was written by Heather Graham. Historical in nature I found this book to be both interesting and entertaining. A young Earl trying to unravel the mysteries of his parents murders is suddenly confronted with a beautiful young woman who claims to be the ward of a thief caught trespassing on his lands. Shocked by the story she tells he cannnot decide weather to believe her story or not.Coming to the conclusion that he can use her and the skills she possesses to uncover the truth, the scene is set to bring justice to both his dead parents and the empire. But in laying a ruthless trap will he also trap himself and lose his heart or worse lose the one person who has come to mean more to him than justice?
A * * * read and I will definitely keep an eye out for more novels by this author.

Gideon by Jacquelyn Frank

This is the second book in "The Nightwalkers" series and I have to say I was very impressed. This is one series I will certainly purchase all books in. Gideon is an ancient demon healer and the oldest surviving male of his race and has a very important duty he needs to fulfill. He also meets his destined mate, a young adult with powers surpassing all others of her age. Gideon must earn not only her trust but her love as they strive to save those most dear to them and reconcile other night walkers to their cause. All of this while betrayal and sorcery are afoot both within and outside of their own ranks. A most enjoyable read for any who like the supernatural genre and well worth the visit. A * * * * read.

Strangers In Death by Nora Roberts

As a huge fan of the In death series I eagerly await each installment of this series and this book was no exception. I must admit I did not find it as easy to get into as the previous books but at books end was again not disappointed. Murder is always an insult to Eve and this case has many personal issues involved in it. A few surprises are in store for the reader as well and continuing story lines will be very interesting and probably intertwined with further mystery and mayhem.Personal issues are dealt with in an almost surreal way but in keeping with the lives that Eve and Roarke lead.A new storyline develops with a person of Eves acquaintance from an earlier novel and it will be very interesting to see how far this relationship is going to enhance or hinder Eve. All in all a great read and * * * * .
