This book is the best in the series. I really thought this book would be a fluffy romance being Paris's book, but I was very pleasantly shocked. I would give this book a 10 if I could. Gena Showalter really showed out in this book. Her world being was fantastic, the storyline was moved along perfectly, new characters were introduced but not overwhelmingly, and the character development of some of the characters still waiting for books were spot on. <br />
<br />
Cronus and Rhea are up to no good as usual and finally get what's coming to them in an epic battle. The story revolves around Paris and Sienna but Kane and Galen are being set up nicely for their books also. The Lords make a move, friends and enemies are realigned. The Angels are brought into play and new characters set up for Gena Showalter's new spinoff series for the Bad Boy Angel's. I can't wait for it. <br />
<br />
Even if you haven't read the previous books in the series you will be able to follow along just fine. I believe once you read this one though you will not be able to not follow all of the Lord's stories already told.Bamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-12046914813801400672011-02-20T02:38:00.000-06:002011-02-20T02:38:16.729-06:00Paperback Dolls: Month of Love Giveaway: Archangel's Kiss by Nalini...<a href="http://paperbackdolls.blogspot.com/2011/02/month-of-love-giveaway-archangels-kiss.html?spref=bl">Paperback Dolls: Month of Love Giveaway: Archangel's Kiss by Nalini...</a>: "Today, Nalini Singh is offering up ONE signed copy of the second in her Guild Hunters Series, ARCHANGEL'S KISS, to ONE lucky International r..."Bamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-970211557707345892011-01-22T07:51:00.001-06:002011-01-22T23:22:33.975-06:00Shadowfever Release Q/A NOLA 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnz922ajyQViKSEfowOo5VHdvXchyphenhyphentDnVDzsfNAPEM7O1fCeCVq5fxGbHHLPO_gQ1c_U0IyshtPiO-ZDHpKfJV8TJi0cn8Kr9KEW_bpMYzR_dORobNK-gDfJ_JOEI20UDxWFYbgIlonaY4/s1600/shadowfever+2011+376.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnz922ajyQViKSEfowOo5VHdvXchyphenhyphentDnVDzsfNAPEM7O1fCeCVq5fxGbHHLPO_gQ1c_U0IyshtPiO-ZDHpKfJV8TJi0cn8Kr9KEW_bpMYzR_dORobNK-gDfJ_JOEI20UDxWFYbgIlonaY4/s320/shadowfever+2011+376.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<li> <b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">No one was either good or bad. There are shades of grey in all of us and her characters also.</span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: red;">She said everyone turned out exactly as she dreamed them.</span></li>
</ul></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><ul><li><b>Q:</b> Why didn’t Barron’s remove Darroc’s mark? </li>
<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">She has her reasons and we will see why. </span></li>
</ul></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"> <b>She talked a little and told us how humbled she was that so many fans read her books, but what made her the happiest is all of the friendships that had formed from them. She was very sincere when she spoke and laughed a lot.</b></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li> <b>Q: </b>Where did she get the names for her characters?</li>
<li> <b>A: </b><span style="color: red;">Everything about the Fever series came to her in one dream. The names of the characters, how each book should end, also the names of each book.</span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: red;">She didn’t want to write this series and fought doing it, but they just wouldn’t leave her alone. When she woke up from the dream she wrote the names of the books on her bedroom wall.</span></li>
</ul></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: left;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><b>Q:</b> What did you eat before you went to bed? ( Met with much laughter from all of us)</li>

Will you do a novel on the back stories?</li>
</ul><ul><li> <b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">No but she will not ever say never with this story. ( Lots of laughter) NO novels on back stories but she would continue all story lines in future books. </span></li>
</ul></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Wingdings;">Ø<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><b>She stated that she still had lots of Mac, Barron’s, and the other 9’s story to tell but they would be background to the stories being told for the next series. </b></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><ul><li><b>Q:</b> What’s next? </li>
<li><b>A</b>: <span style="color: red;">Dani, Ryodan, Christian triangle with lots of Fae, Mac, Barron’s, and the other 9. She said she is going to take a break though and laughed that we were already wanting another book.</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"><b> </b></span></span></li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"><b> </b></span></span><b>Q:</b> You write a lot of male perspectives; do you think you do a good job with them?</li>
<li><b> A:</b> <span style="color: red;">She turned to Phil and Neil and asked them if she did. LOL of course they said yes.</span></li>
</ul></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><b>Q:</b> Which character are you most like, Mac or Barron’s?</li>
<li><b> A:</b> <span style="color: red;">She said she thinks she is a lot like both. She has grown right along with Mac. Her choice in wardrobe has also. When she first started this series she was a black leather pants, St. Johns Bay shirt and pink panties ( which she still prefers) but now she tries to dress up more. She laughed and said she is still wardrobe challenged like Mac though. She thought for a minute and said she is most like Barron’s and laughed. She hates to think she is a psychopath . This was met with much laughter. She asks Neil and Phil and Phil laughed and said Mac, just take a drive with her one time.</span><b> </b></li>
</ul><ul><li><b> </b><b> Q: </b>Someone ask about the Shades.<b> </b></li>
<li><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><b> A:</b></span> She said they are still around reproducing and have moved. They will still be around.</span></li>

<li> <b>A:</b><span style="color: red;">NO that would just be lazy and she didn’t like that. None of her stories will ever be “Just a Dream”</span></li>
</ul><ul><li><b> Q: </b>What do you recommend for people wanting to write?</li>
<li><span style="color: red;"> <b> </b></span><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">Keep your butt in the chair. Don’t give up and don’t look at the market to see what is popular. Stay true to the story you are wanting to tell. It’s a lonely road getting started but stay focused and true to your story. Even if you don’t get published you will know you didn’t take the easy road and can still feel proud </span></li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><b>Q:</b> What did she think about how the books ended and all of the cliffhangers?</li>
<li> <b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">All of the books came together, just like she wrote them, from her dream. (The Fever series) She hated how Faefever ended and cried because she didn’t want to leave the cliffhanger of Mac being raped. She knew it was hard on us and it was on her to. She had to stick to the story though. She also hated how Shadowfever started but that’s how it had to be told. She talked some on the cd Shadowsong, Neil. Her favorite song was Alone. She said she cried when he presented it to her. She talked about how Neil and she worked together. He had to hear everything she wrote each day and it just all came together.</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span> </li>
</ul><ul><li> <b>Q:</b> Something was asked about the Highlander series?<b> </b></li>
<li><b> A:</b> <span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: red;">She said she hated them and if you haven’t read them don’t. This was met with a lot of disagreement from the fans. She pointed out that the first two were just terrible but she started finding her rhythm in The Highlanders Touch and her favorites are Drustan and Dageus.</span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: red;">Phil won an award for The Dark Highlander. Into the Dreaming has nothing to do with either series. She was fulfilling a prior obligation but it does parallel the series. </span><span style="color: red;"> </span><b> </b></li>

</style> <![endif]--> <div style="text-align: left;"><b> Mrs. Moning stated the point of the books were to show how everyone’s pretty pink life gets broken. No one is unfazed by life and it’s just part of life for bad things to happen. The transition between when life is “Pretty and Pink” to “Hard and Dark”. It’s just the facts of life. We all have to deal with grief and she thinks Barron’s sums it up the best.</b></div><ul><li><b>Q:</b> Is Alina and Mac really sisters?<b> </b></li>
<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">Yes they are blood sisters. This is actually answered in the books. No one knew Isla was pregnant with Mac. She stated that we would be getting a story with Isla, Pieter, and the Triton Corp. . She added Isla and Pieter into Shadowfever for us. She also said she couldn’t add Telie’s story because it didn’t flow with the current way the book was going but in the next book we would get to see them have a conversation.</span> </li>
</ul><b> Phil ask about a scene between Barron’s and V’Lane , sorry I missed it. Whatever it was her response was NO. She went on to say Barron’s would never be one to wallow in sorrow and grief. He just deals.</b><ul><li><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span><b>Q:</b> I missed the full question. </li>
<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">Her response was she believes the plot should follow the emotion not the emotion following the plot.</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></li>
</ul><ul><li><b><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span>Q:</b> Where did she come up with her theories on the Fae? ( The person commented that she noticed a lot of similarities in other stories)<b> </b></li>
<li><b>A:</b><span style="color: red;"> She said all stories have been told but it’s how you put your own personal touch to it. All authors draw from the same pools of information. They work with what research they can but then have to either use or make up their own mytho’s.</span> </li>
</ul><ul><li><b>Q:</b> What’s going on with the movie deal?</li>
<li><b>A: </b><span style="color: red;">Unfortunately the time has ran out, but she doesn’t really care. She wants to make sure whoever does it stays true to her characters and story. She thinks a tv series would be better because there is to much story for a movie. She will not let just anyone have the rights because she wants to make sure she can trust them not to change everything. She would rather hold onto it until she can be a big part of it or she fully trust the person that will be in charge. She will not let just anyone do it.</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></li>

<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">She stated that she was completely involved. All of the characters have her treatment.

<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">They weren’t completely sure but 500 books were purchased there.</span><b> </b></li>
</ul><ul><li><b> </b><b>Q:</b> What’s the best time for her to write and does she have somewhere she prefers to be when she does?<b> </b></li>
<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">4:30am and she isn’t happy about that. She said her and Neil travel a lot but N. Georgia where they live is where she does most of her writing. She laughed and said it’s probably because there is nothing around for distractions.</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></li>
</ul><ul><li><b>Q:</b> What are her plans on future series</li>
<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">She stated she had so much more to write on all of her characters and thinks Mac and Barron’s will never leave her. The Fae and many more answers are coming also. She assured us that she answered all questions that were needed to complete the Fever series and any that weren’t would be in future books. She says she will not get committed to a long series again and all books would be between 3-5 books. She likes her stories to be defined and not drag them out.</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></li>

<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">Yes there will be at least one more. She didn’t want to but the Keltar’s wouldn’t leave her alone and there was more to tell from them.</span><b> </b></li>
</ul><b> More discussion and she states that she couldn’t stand Mac 1.0. She laughed and said Mac is very fashion conflicted and they had that in common. She much preferred Black leather pants but she has grown right along with Mac.</b><b> </b><br />
<ul><li><b>Q:</b> Something was asked about Mac and the Hunters<b>. </b></li>
<li><b>A:</b><span style="color: red;"> Mac’s opinion has changed of the Hunters and we will see more about that and she will try to convince others to change their minds to.</span> </li>
</ul><ul><li><b>Q:</b> Why did K’Vruck not try and hurt her?<b> </b></li>
<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">The UK has imprinted on Mac and the Hunters recognize this.</span><b> </b></li>
</ul><b></b><ul><li><b>Q:</b> Where did the character names come from?<b> </b></li>

</ul><ul><li><b> </b><b>Q: </b>What does she see with Dani’s story?<b> </b></li>
<li><b>A:</b> <span style="color: red;">She really wants to write about her growing up some more and the decisions she makes.

</style> <![endif]--><b> The session was ended with a standing ovation to Mrs. Moning<span> </span>as she once again thanked all of her fans with teary eyes. I must say this has been a very exciting ride following this series. I have the same mixed emotions as Mrs. Moning expressed for the series ending. But it’s only for now. We have many more years to look forward to of sneak peeks at Mac and Barrons. I’m glad for the closure but so looking forward to the next ride she takes us on. <span> </span>Phil and Sue ended on a raffle with many great prizes. Jewelry, Kresley Cole books, and many other little goodies. Phil was hilarious and read chapter 8 to us which caused a small earthquake. What an experience NOLA was. So many nice people and the tales we left with. LOL What happens<span> </span>in NOLA stays in NOLA! </b> <br />

</div><div style="color: black; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>"Evil is a completely different creature, Mac.<br />
Evil is bad that believes it's good."</i></span></div><div style="color: black; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever.<br />
Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister's murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals that have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.<br />
What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief, while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh--a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King that contains the power to create and destroy worlds.<br />
In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac, and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.<br />
Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman that haunts her dreams? More importantly, who is Mac and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?<br />
From the luxury of the Lord Master's penthouse, to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover, to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac's journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and make a choice that will either save the world...or destroy it.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I have taken a brief break between reading ShadowFever and writing this review for several reasons. The main one being how much I loved book and the series as a whole. There was no way I would have been able to review without giving spoilers and I want everyone to have a chance to read and be as amazed as I was.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">The journey of Mac and Barrons finally reaches a point of no return, we get questions answered, more questions, twists that will probably cause some people to sneak off in a corner and cry * poor things* LOL, and promise of future books in the Fever World. Excited, I can't wait! There are some characters that are eliminated and I say good riddance to them. As well as some dear loved ones revisited.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>***** Spoilerish*****</b></span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;"> Some of our fabtastic Highlanders do make an appearance.</span></div><br />
**********************************************<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Can anyone say K'Vrucked? I love this new character and was ecstatic to hear from KMM that we would be hearing more about him. What's under the garage will totally blow your mind and explain why a certain character has some issues. Some characters will be shown in gray zones that any one of us could be thrown into and some will have their deceptive natures come out so be prepared to be completely taken aback by what you are about to discover in this amazing world that's been created for us.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> I know some people are very disgruntled that every question wasn't answered, but I was satisfied. I'm also still curious enough to hang on until KMM finishes this fantastic world. Personally I think most books leave some things for the readers to actually use some of their own imagination without leaving them left out in the dark without resolution. Where would you go with a story if you didn't leave something to talk about in between books or keep the readers interest. Now I don't mean end one series and do a spin off that leaves the most important part of the resolutions out to hold us hostage and or try to force us to read future series. Nor just so you can extend your contract for the amount of books in a particular series. I have had the misfortune of seeing that done to a series I truly loved only to be completely turned off of the whole thing. In my opinion KMM did not do this with ShadowFever. Maybe being at the Q/A session with KMM helped me feel resolved. The session I was in is posted here on my blog also.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://bamalovesbooks.blogspot.com/2011/01/shadowfever-release-qa-nola-2011.html">http://bamalovesbooks.blogspot.com/2011/01/shadowfever-release-qa-nola-2011.html</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> I respect others opinions, even though I honestly can not say I'm in anyway let down by ShadowFever. I would have like to see more of a certain couple together of course and if I had to say what I would have liked to see different, it would have to be that. If you are in agreement with me check out ShadowSong. KMM's husband Neil Dover produced the cd to accompany ShadowFever. The whole booklet for the cd is amazing and the deleted scene will steam up your glasses. * Giggles* Valentine, one of the tracks on the cd, was written by KMM and LOL , it's true to her. Just One Time is probably one of my favorite songs on there and Neil's note on why it was written... well just check it out. * winks* </div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">MacKayla Lane’s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she’s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Or so she thinks... until something extraordinary happens.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death–a cryptic message on Mac’s cell phone–Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers. The quest to find her sister’s killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed–a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister’s death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless V'lane–an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women–closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac’s true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book–because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands...</div></blockquote><br />
<br />
Bama's rating : 4 Tides<br />
<br />
This series is like a drug, you just can't get enough. I was recommended this series by a friend of mine and hold her responsible for my insanity now. For fans of the Highlander Series, you will see just what the evil Darroc is up to and never want to turn your lights off again.<br />
<br />
The What is Barrons? Yes that is the million dollar question among lovers of the Fever series.<br />
<br />
There is only one thing I can say negative about this book and the three that succeed it, is it they end in cliff hangers. LOL not that is such a bad thing normally, but these drive you crazy until the next one. <br />
<br />
MacKayla Lane isn't your normal heroine. She has lead a shelter life and is full of pink and rainbows. Her life takes a drastic turn and not for the better. I actually feel sorry for her. She's lost her sister and now she see's things that make the Boogie Man shudder. <br />
The one thing that does go right for her is meeting Jericho Z Barrons. He is a bookstore owner and becomes Mac's protector. Barrons had me at " Barrons Books and Bauble."<br />
<br />
Barrons really wants the Sinsar Dubh, or the Dark Book. He needs his OOP Detector (Object of Power), and that would be MacKayla . She needs him to help her stay alive and find her sisters killer.<br />

<br />
Mackayla Lane's ordinary life underwent a complete makeover when she landed on Ireland's shores and was plunged into a dark, deadly realm unlike any she ever imagined. In her fight to stay alive, Mac must find the Sinsar Dubh—a million-year old book of the blackest magic imaginable that holds the key to power over both the worlds of Fae and Man. Pursued by Fae assassins, surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she cannot trust, Mac finds herself torn between two deadly and irresistible men: V'lane, the insatiable Fae, who can turn sensual arousal into an obsession for any woman; and the ever-inscrutable Jericho Barrons, a man as alluring as he is mysterious.<br />
For centuries, the shadowy realm of the Fae has coexisted with that of humans. Now the walls between the two are coming down, and Mac is the only thing that stands between them...<br />

Karen Marie Moning is brilliant, in my opinion. I can never put her books down when I start them. We see the story progressing, but still so many unanswered questions. <br />
<br />
What is Barrons? The million dollar question!<br />
<br />
Mac's life is torn. There really is no other way to describe it. Make time to find her sisters killer, Death By Sex Fae ,and Jericho.What's a southern belle to do?<br />

</div>When MacKayla Lane receives a torn page from her dead sister's journal, she is stunned by Alina's desperate words. And now MacKayla knows that her sister's killer is close. But evil is closer. And suddenly the sidhe-seer is on the hunt: For answers. For revenge. And for an ancient book of dark magic so evil, it corrupts anyone who touches it.<br />
Mac's quest for the Sinsar Dubh takes her into the mean, shape-shifting streets of Dublin, with a suspicious cop on her tail. Forced into a dangerous triangle of alliance with V'lane, an insatiable Fae prince of lethally erotic tastes, and Jericho Barrons, a man of primal desires and untold secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body, mind, and soul.<br />
<br />
As All Hallows Eve approaches and the city descends into chaos, as a shocking truth about the Dark Book is uncovered, not even Mac can prevent a deadly race of immortals from shattering the walls between worlds with devastating consequences.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Hum where to begin. There is so much that happens in Faefever. This book is not for the faint hearted, but you don't want to miss out on it. Karen Marie Moning has one of the best imaginations, besides Ilona Andrews, that I have had the pleasure of reading. Faefever takes us to places way past our scariest dreams. Ugh once again though the horror at the end and the cliff hanger might just drive you crazy. Be strong our journey with Mac is almost over and I have faith that Mrs. Moning will lead us into the light. If you are looking for a mushy paranormal romance then this isn't the series or book for you. If you want to be engrossed in a world of mystery, destruction, twist and turns, and hope keep reading. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">In the beginning Mac makes a startling discovery. The Dark Book isn't in possession of someone but is possessing. In the end the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have arrived and the world as Mac once lived will forever be shattered. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Poor Mac, I cry for her lost innocence.For anyone of my followers who have suffered a fate like Mac, BE strong and know there is always hope. It's not your fault and you are stronger that anything that comes against you. YOU survived and know others out there care about you!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Never give up hope. Mrs. Moning added a note to reassure us this journey isn't about darkness it's about the light.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div>MacKayla Lane lies naked on the cold stone floor of a church, at the mercy of the erotic Fae master she once swore to kill. Far from home, unable to control her sexual hungers, MacKayla is now fully under the Lord Master's spell. In the New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning's stunning new novel, the walls between human and Fae worlds have come crashing down. And as Mac fights for survival on Dublin's battle-scarred streets, she will embark on the darkest-and most erotically charged-adventure of her life.<br />
He has stolen her past, but MacKayla will never allow her sister's murderer to take her future. Yet even the uniquely gifted <i>sidhe</i>-seer is no match for the Lord Master, who has unleashed an insatiable sexual craving that consumes Mac's every thought-and thrusts her into the seductive realm of two very dangerous men, both of whom she desires but dares not trust.<br />
As the enigmatic Jericho Barrons and the sensual Fae prince V'lane vie for her body and soul, as she rallies the <i>sidhe</i>-seers to fight an impossible battle, and the power of the Dark Book weaves its annihilating path through the city, Mac's greatest enemy delivers a final challenge...<br />
It's an invitation Mac cannot refuse, one that sends her racing home to Georgia, where an even darker threat awaits. With her parents missing and the lives of her loved ones under siege, Mac is about to come face-to-face with a soul-shattering truth-about herself, and about the world she thought she knew.<br />

My ratings: 5 Tides<br />
<br />
Dreamfever is fantastic. Sighs* Barrons!!!<br />
<br />
My heart is pounding just writing this review. Karen Marie Moning has outshone herself with this one. When I finished Faefever I was devastated for Mac. By the end of Dreamfever you will recover with Mac only to be torn apart again. Yes there is a cliff hanger. Yes it looks like all hope is gone. But we are strong, as Mac is, and hopefully we know by now, " Never give up!"<br />
<br />
I love the fact that Mrs. Moning uses very real dilemmas of real life to her books and brings awareness through them.<br />
<br />
We learned about cervical cancer in the Highlander series and the importance of having yourself tested for early detection. Now we are faced with the heinous crime of rape and what the victim goes through. Many see this book as very dark and it is, but I also praise Mrs. Moning for showing her readers that you can get past it. I absolutely love the fact that a book of fiction can bring to the attention of the importance on some very serious topics. Okay back to Mac and her dark journey.<br />
<br />
Eweee eating UnSeelie is not something that sounds appetizing at all. Mac has learned it will make her stronger but also void her Sidhe Seer abilities. The Dark Ancient Ones have Mac, the Sidhe Seer's are hunting her, and neither Barrons nor V'lane are anywhere to be found.<br />
<br />
Thank goodness for Dani. She is a refreshing character who has stolen my heart. She is one of Mac's biggest fans and now has to hunt her. Mac is at a place noone has came back from, but they didn't have Barrons either.<br />
<br />
Hurry there is still time to catch up on this amazing series before it all comes to an end. Stay tuned because on January 17th all of our questions will be answered in Shadowfever. Yes I said the 17th not the 18th because Woo Hoo I'm going to NOLA and meet one of my favorite authors and will have my Precious then.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned. I will have updates and pictures. I'm so excited!<br />
<br />
Stay to the Lights,<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Spell of the Highlander</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: black;"><b>POWERFUL. SENSUAL. SEDUCTIVE.</b></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Powerful. Sensual. Seductive. He is all that is shamelessly erotic in a man. In her sexiest Highlander novel yet, New York Times bestselling author Karen Moning stirs up a sizzling brew of ancient mystery and modern passion as she brings together a devilishly handsome Celtic warrior trapped in time... and the woman who’s about to pay the ultimate price for freeing him. Age-old secrets haunt them. Deadly danger and irresistible desire shadow their every move. It’s a relationship for the ages. And all that separates them is a mere thirteen hundred years...<br />
<br />
Jessi St. James has got to get a life. Too many hours studying ancient artifacts has given the hardworking archaeology student a bad case of sex on the brain.<br />
So she figures she must be dreaming when she spies a gorgeous half-naked man staring out at her from inside the silvery glass of an ancient mirror. But when a split-second decision saves her from a terrifying attempt on her life, Jessi suddenly finds herself confronting six and a half feet of smoldering, insatiable alpha male.<br />
Heir to the arcane magic of his Druid ancestors, eleven centuries ago Cian MacKeltar was trapped inside the Dark Glass, one of four coveted Unseelie Hallows, objects of unspeakable power. When the Dark Glass is stolen, an ancient enemy will stop at nothing to reclaim it, destroying everything in his path–including the one woman who may just hold the key to breaking the ninth-century Highlander’s dark spell. For Jessi, the muscle-bound sex god in the mirror is not only tantalizingly real, he’s offering his protection–from exactly what, Jessi doesn’t know. And all he wants in exchange is the exquisite pleasure of sharing her bed.<br />
Yet even as Cian’s insatiable hunger begins to work its dark magic on Jessi, his ancient enemy is about to obtain the final and most dangerous of the Unseelie Hallows–and the ninth-century Highlander must stop him from getting it. Nothing less than the very fabric of the universe and two passionately entwined lives are at stake–as Cian and Jessi fight to claim the kind of love that comes along but once in an ice age... </blockquote><br />
I give Spell of the Highlander 4 1/2 Tides.<br />
<br />
Well first I would like to know where I can find a mirror with a Highlander in it?<br />
<br />
This book didn't disappoint in the least. I couldn't put it down when I started. <br />
The way Cian's story is written, you are sure to feel his pain. To be trapped for over a 1000 years thinking everything you knew and loved was wiped away by a nasty villain. <br />
<br />
I think one of my favorite parts in the book is at the beginning. When Jessi licked Cian, thinking it must be a dream, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. <br />
<br />
Fans of the Fever series be sure to read Spell of the Highlander. <br />
I will be back tomorrow with reviews on the ever popular Fever series. So stay tuned.<br />

Enter the dazzling world of Karen Marie Moning whose acclaimed Highlander novels have captivated readers, spanning the continents and the centuries, bringing ancient Scotland vividly to life. In a new novel brimming with time-travel adventure and sensual heat, the nationally bestselling author of The Dark Highlander delivers a love story that will hold you in thrall and a hero you will most certainly never forget...</p> <div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">Beware: </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">lethally</span> </span></span><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">seductive alpha male of immense strength anderoticism , do not look at him. </span><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">Do not touch him. </span><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">Do not be tempted. Do not be seduced.....</span><br /></span></div><h3 style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> </h3> <p style="text-align: left;">With his long, black hair and dark, mesmerizing eyes, Adam Black is Trouble with a capital T. Immortal, arrogant, and intensely sensual, he is the consummate seducer, free to roam across time and continents in pursuit of his insatiable desires. That is, until a curse strips him of his immortality and makes him invisible, a cruel fate for so irresistible a man. With his very life at stake, Adam's only hope for survival is in the hands of the one woman who can actually see him.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Enter law student Gabrielle O'Callaghan, who is cursed with the ability to see both worlds: Mortal and Faery. From the moment she lays eyes on this stunning male, Gabby is certain of one thing: He could be her undoing. Thus begins a long, dangerous seduction. Because despite his powerful strength and unquenchable hungers, Adam refuses to take a woman by force. Instead he will tease his way into Gabby's bed and make her want him just as he wants her.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Now, no matter how hard Gabby tries to avoid him, Adam is everywhere, invisible to all but her—perched atop her office cubicle in too-tight jeans, whispering softly from behind the stacks of the law library, stealing her breath away with his knowing smile...all the while tempting her with the promise of unimaginable pleasure in his arms. But soon danger will intrude on this sensual dance. For as Adam's quest to regain his immortality plunges them into a world of timeless magic and the deadly politics of the Faery queen's court, the price of surrender could be their very lives. Unless they can thwart the conspiracy that threatens both mortal and Faery realms...and give them a shot at a destiny few mortals ever know: glorious, wondrous, endless love...</p></div><br /><br /></blockquote><br /><br />Finally I have came to the Immortal. I adore Adam Black. I love this book. Karen Marie Moning does a wonderful job of progressing and building his character through the series. In previous books you might not like him in one part of the story then later doubt why you didn't. He is in a weakened state after healing Dageus in The Dark Highlander and Aoibheal, Queen of the Tutatha De Danaan punishes Adam by making him human. Oh how she will later come to regret that decision.<br /><br />Now we get to see what makes Adam tick. *giggles*<br /><blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">" Damn it's good to be me." Adam Black on being Adam Black.</span> </blockquote><br /><br />Gabrielle O'Callaghan is a sidhe seer who has managed to stay under the radar of the Fae. Most are taken at a young age to protect the Ancient race. Of course this is exactly who would stumble upon Adam. She has been taught to hate the Tuatha De Danaan. Adam has his on book which doesn't help his case.<br /><br />As much as I want to spoil everyone, I won't. I'll tell you this though, you will find out why and how the vile Darroc comes to be human, get to visit some of our favorite Highlanders, and see how the Fae are masterful manipulators. I must end this review here or I won't be able to help but give spoilers and probably go on for pages. YOU DO NOT want to miss reading this book. Put down what you are reading and start The Immortal Highlander. If you don't read any other in this series, this one is a must read.<br /><br />Stay to the light,<br />BamaBamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-57467750987092592112011-01-02T20:08:00.009-06:002011-01-03T00:06:29.213-06:00<blockquote><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpxbXGAdZeqBPYLAWmQZdl1kWOwO2PDTKL-ePR4tT-rNVkMboSvLPgNw3_iSN9JBNxFWbb4deQGEcI3ElfEBTdxLez3u638yquHJOtbCYEymUpijkdBmiztX2Xu1vOH5lthUBPfompqlNp/s1600/The+Dark+Higlander.png">s<img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 139px; height: 271px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpxbXGAdZeqBPYLAWmQZdl1kWOwO2PDTKL-ePR4tT-rNVkMboSvLPgNw3_iSN9JBNxFWbb4deQGEcI3ElfEBTdxLez3u638yquHJOtbCYEymUpijkdBmiztX2Xu1vOH5lthUBPfompqlNp/s320/The+Dark+Higlander.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557777712779219762" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Dark Highlander </span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Journey to a world of ancient magic, breathtaking sensuality, thrilling time-travel...

From his penthouse lair high above Manhattan, Dageus looks out over a glittering city that calls to the darkness within him.<br /><br />A sixteenth century Scot trapped between worlds, he is fighting a losing battle with the thirteen Druids who possess his soul, dooming him to an eternity of sexual pursuit. When Chloe Zanders, student of antiquities, is drawn into his world, she finds the insatiable Alpha male an irresistible lure.<br /><br />Before long, she is caught up in an ancient prophecy that will sweep her back in time to medieval Scotland. Plunged into a world of timeless magic and dark seduction, she will soon face the challenge of a lifetime: fighting thirteen evil spirits for the heart of one irresistible man... </div></blockquote><br /><br />I loved this book even if it was a little darker like the name suggest. Poor Dageus the fun loving Highlander has had to face many tough choices and stood strong through it. He is one of my favorite Highlanders. Dageus is stronger than anyone could ever have imagined and he is willing to give his life for his brother and wife.<br /><br />The wee Chloe is such a good match for him. I couldn't imagine Karen Marie Moning giving him a better mate. Chloe's curiosity and love of artifacts, which she refers at one point to as Dageus, stole my heart right along with Dageus.<br /><br />Once again the we get the romantic, time traveling, and action packed storyline we are becoming accustomed to with our beloved Highlanders and Karen Marie Moning.Each story we see the connections of family and friends from past and future to get a better understanding of the characters. I could read a new installment every month and never get tired of them.Bamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-74500889255687836052011-01-02T02:50:00.011-06:002011-01-02T22:19:57.979-06:00Kiss of The Highlander Review<blockquote><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4hoPIw-35gYvNZ47VbxEmV6wPisRXPjpJx2zbs6CPmjFttULNNLVEIQHhBWnIza1f7oU1sMZ5-CTQNiJdZeGRjizQREfp5jtalsfydhTl0ksRYIZjxgJ6iHGcQIF8rMBDV0uBVr9O6fi/s1600/kiss+of+the+highlander.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557514218430278274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4hoPIw-35gYvNZ47VbxEmV6wPisRXPjpJx2zbs6CPmjFttULNNLVEIQHhBWnIza1f7oU1sMZ5-CTQNiJdZeGRjizQREfp5jtalsfydhTl0ksRYIZjxgJ6iHGcQIF8rMBDV0uBVr9O6fi/s320/kiss+of+the+highlander.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 267px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 139px;" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><h3>A laird trapped between centuries...</h3><leo_highlight id="leoHighlights_Underline_0" leohighlights_keywords="enchanted" leohighlights_underline="true" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Denchanted%26domain%3Dwww.blogger.com" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Denchanted%26domain%3Dwww.blogger.com" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat; border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); cursor: pointer; display: inline;">Enchanted</leo_highlight> by a powerful spell, Highland laird Drustan MacKeltar slumbered for nearly five centuries hidden deep in a cave, until an unlikely savior awakened him. The enticing lass who dressed and spoke like no woman he'd ever known was from his distant future, where crumbled ruins were all that remained of his vanished world. Drustan knew he had to return to his own century if he was to save his people from a terrible fate. And he needed the bewitching woman by his side...<br /><h3>A woman changed forever in his arms...</h3>Gwen Cassidy had come to Scotland to shake up her humdrum life and, just maybe, meet a man.<br />How could she have known that a tumble down a Highland ravine would send her plunging into an underground cavern—to land atop the most devastatingly seductive man she'd ever seen?

Gwen wanting to find her cherry picker and Drustan and his to tight trews are sure to keep you entertained through out their story. I enjoyed this book from front to back. Once again Karen Marie Moning added so much detail I could see the heather fields. She also sets up the The Dark Highlander so that you will not be able to wait to get your hands on it.<br /><br />Truthfully as much as I loved Cin and Lisa's tale, I would have to say this is the best one yet. Twin Highlanders and one time traveling 21st century heroine all in one comical, romantic, twisting plot make for a very enjoyable read.<br /><br />You will be whisked away to the past and swept back into the future for an emotional roller coaster of a ride.<br /><br />One Highlander will have to make a choice between life and death while the other must find away to connect the past and present.<br /><br />Our heroine is caught up in something that goes beyond her scientific calculations and reasoning only to be heartbroken and alone. How will she be able to face the world without her Highlander, one she doesn't even know if is alive or dead?<br /><br />When choices are made, one brother will find his destiny while the other will face death.Bamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-1108930554266187262011-01-02T02:09:00.007-06:002011-01-02T02:27:51.021-06:00<blockquote></blockquote><span style="font-weight:bold;">Hope everyone has a great New Year!</span><blockquote></blockquote>Bamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-56347064461054010152011-01-01T07:10:00.002-06:002011-01-03T18:32:30.106-06:00Book Covers 2011<a href="http://darkfaerietales.com/cover-27-hot-covers.html/comment-page-1/#comment-9974">http://darkfaerietales.com/cover-27-hot-covers.html/comment-page-1/#comment-9974</a>Bamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-13853554712826142732010-12-29T23:02:00.004-06:002011-01-09T16:36:14.162-06:00My Fair Succubi: Jill Myles<blockquote><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpGh9IK5Fkj3VGXJ-AvZp7VFLfRZZ6uK-yD9Vz8kPGEfh76t9XCvVGq0EQVBxTs0KsBujm04-Vm8ZKw8DoVnGUSH5aYwH9BZkLa0cM_GDV8ty1OXdMZnCKWcljGu2cNT_2ZDa7YStYxy7C/s1600/My-Fair-Succubi_NOT_FINAL21.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 198px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpGh9IK5Fkj3VGXJ-AvZp7VFLfRZZ6uK-yD9Vz8kPGEfh76t9XCvVGq0EQVBxTs0KsBujm04-Vm8ZKw8DoVnGUSH5aYwH9BZkLa0cM_GDV8ty1OXdMZnCKWcljGu2cNT_2ZDa7YStYxy7C/s320/My-Fair-Succubi_NOT_FINAL21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556338683596231074" border="0" /></a><br />

<h1>It Sucks To Be Her…</h1><p>Living as a succubus has a bit of a learning curve, but with sexy fallen angel Noah to scratch her sensual Itch, Jackie Brighton is finally starting to feel ahead of the game. She almost doesn’t miss her gorgeous vampire master Zane – or his sinful, teasing mouth. She’s trying to convince herself of that, anyway.</p><p>But Jackie’s past mistakes catch up with her, spinning her life out of control once more. Just as her friend Remy’s inner demon comes out to play, Noah and Jackie are arrested by the angelic Serim Council. When Jackie seizes the chance to escape, she falls right into Zane’s waiting arms. As she’s pulled into a game of cat and mouse between vampires and angels, she finds she must also finally choose between the two men in her life. Can she decide between Noah and Zane, or will she lose everything she’s ever wanted? Because there’s more at stake than just her heart…</p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>Coming from Pocket Books – December 28, 2010</em><br />

Once again I was not disappointed in Jill Myles. Her Succubi series are erotic, hilarious, action packed, and full of passion. The heroine Jackie was turned Succubus without consent but tries to hold on to her moral fiber as much as any Succubus can. Noah and Zane are her lovers and they hate each other which makes for a great twist in the stories. Jackie seems to have it all. The itch comes upon her every two days and she must scratch it or risk dying. By day Noah tends to her needs and and come evening the very sexy Vampire Prince Zane takes over. The time has come for a decision to be made though. Will it be Noah or will it be Zane? First she must decide after finding out a secret both of her lovers have kept from her and it will change everything. When both Jackie and Noah are arrested we learn some Angels are not the Guardian Angels we think they are. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Remy is once again possessed by the evil demon and Jackie must save not only her but the world. To do this she must figure out a way to save both lovers, make a decision on which one of them she will keep and if she can even trust them, try and recover the ancient Halo and keep the Serim from killing her.

Her life isn't what she planned but she has a job that allows her to learn and study artifacts at the museum which feeds her curious nature. One night as she is cleaning she falls asleep in her bosses office only to be awoken when he comes in and is discussing the great find he has made. Once the coast is clear she can't help but open the beautiful box and when she touches the object inside she falls right into 14th century Scotland and one very mad Highlander who has taken a vow to kill her.<br /><br />Circenn Brodie Laird and Thane of Brodie is quite surprised when a female suddenly appears in his chambers. She is strangely dressed and holding his flask. He has been entrusted to protect it and other Fae Hallows, but the flask was lost to him while it was traveling with the Templars. Adam Black the Blackest Elf has made him swear to kill whomever has possession of the flask but Circeen has never killed an innocent much less a woman. Caught in a battle with himself and fulfilling a sworn oath, Circeen is at a loss for what to do. He also has a secret that could change everything between him and Lisa. He is immortal and has to find a way to tell her.<br /><br />Duncan and Galen Douglas, Circenn's trusted advisors, take bets on Circenn sticking to his sworn vows or breaking them, something he has never done.<br /><br />Lisa and Circenn fall in love but Lisa can't help but think of her dying mother, who is still in the present day. Lisa is just the woman to bring The Brodie to his knees and he is just the man to fulfill Lisa's hopes and dreams. She doesn't quit looking for a way home and when one is given to her, she can't decide what to do but the Queen of the Fae takes the decision from her.<br /><br />While off to war Circenn is struck a devastating blow, his bond with Lisa is severed. Fighting like a Beserker he battles the English like no he has in no other battle. When he comes home he finds Adam his assumed enemy and threatens to kill him with one of the Hallows he swore to protect and never use against the Tuatha De Danaan.<br /><br />Adam convinces Circenn to come to terms with his heritage and much to the dismay of Circenn he must embrace his father and his ways. Although Adam's powers have been severed by the Queen, for the time being he is able to show Circenn the way's of sifting time and finding his love.<br /><br />Although I like the first two books in this series, I must admit this one really hooked. Karen Marie Moning has mixed romance, time travel, and Fae with just enough of each. Adam Black is the only one with a grown son of mixed heritage. There are few humans who can see both worlds and they are kidnapped as babies.<br /><br />Most people who don't care much for romance reads seem to really enjoy this installment of the series so I can recommend these books to such a broad range of readers. Well lets go read about a Druid Highlander.<br /><br />Stay To The Lights,<br />Bama<br /><br /><blockquote> <a></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a><br /></a></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwnG-YIHuDP-Mbi07hgW20FxOM5jlVs84rO_jgj8JexSabMvvceOVe8VKe1ZG8WEzqHahtBfRVCn6rMZj2BFirO1xa2d2TNblAQP1L-fZpUQZLKiBtF-wWIGPIYr6sN3ufAJe0wwgq_sLo/s1600/To+Tame+A+Highlander.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwnG-YIHuDP-Mbi07hgW20FxOM5jlVs84rO_jgj8JexSabMvvceOVe8VKe1ZG8WEzqHahtBfRVCn6rMZj2BFirO1xa2d2TNblAQP1L-fZpUQZLKiBtF-wWIGPIYr6sN3ufAJe0wwgq_sLo/s320/To+Tame+A+Highlander.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557479556691913506" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> To Tame A Highland Warrior</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A Celtic Legend </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Legend tells that the power of the Berserker - preternatural strenght, prowess, virility, and cunning - can be bought for the going rate of a man's sou</span>l. </div></blockquote><br /> <br />Not everything you see is the truth. Sometimes what you think you are seeing is something totally different.<br />Wishing on stars do come true for Highlanders and their women. Grimm wished Adrienne for Hawk and now she has made a wish of her own.<br /><br />Grimm formerly known as Gavrael Roderick Icarus McIllioch has received a letter from his former foster family and it's a summons he can not refuse. Grimm's time for hiding from his fate has come to an end. He must journey to the Lowlands to protect Jillian, although he has no idea from what.<br />Once at Caithness Grimm, Quinn de Moncrieffe, and Ramsay Logan realize they have been brought to have Jullian decide who she will wed. Grimm afraid to reveal his true self pushes Quinn and Jillian together. Jillian has other ideas.<br /><br />Jillian's childhood love has returned but wants nothing to do with her. She plans on changing that. She has a decision to make and it's complicated by Grimm's refusal to acknowledge he wants her just as much.<br /><br />Someone wants Grimm dead. The MaKane's wish to annihilate all Beserkers and will stop at nothing to see this happen. Will the legends come true and the Day of the Beserker reign again or will the MaKane's succeed and destroy Grimm before he can claim his one true mate? For once a Beserker finds true love it's for life and there will be no other for him.<br /><br />Will this wish on a star come true for this Highlander or will the truth of his true nature tear the woman he loves out of his arms?Bamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-50509671871187309312010-12-18T16:56:00.001-06:002011-01-03T00:28:40.448-06:00The Holiday SeasonThis isn't a post on books. I just wanted to write about how I was feeling today. I woke up and was feeling a little down. You see my dad passed away 18 years ago on Christmas and I really miss him.<br /><br />As the day has went on I am feeling better though. It's been one of those where you really don't do anything but sit and spend time with the family. We have watched a few movies and just been lazy. Ah refreshing!<br /><br />The mail finally ran and I got more beautiful cards in the mail. To my great surprise I got my package from Janet Casdsawan. <a href="http://www.cadsawan.com/">www.cadsawan.com</a> A beautiful Chotki bracelet and Zvevda necklace from her Vampire Academy collection. Now that is the way to make anyone's day better.<br /><br />Well that's really all I wanted to say. I am going to spend some more family time and watch Date Night. Hilarious movie and sure to bring spirits up.<br /><br />Hugs and Blessings<br />BamaBamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-12116134297445917092010-12-16T20:33:00.001-06:002011-01-03T00:19:20.863-06:00Nalini SinghAs most of you know I love Nalini Singh.

Queen Aoibheal incites the wrath of Adam Black, court jester, and the Fairy King Finnbherra against Hawk.<br /><br />Sidheach James Lyon Douglas better known as Hawk is a renowned ladies man.One night him and his captain of guards are looking at the stars and Grimm wishes upon a fallen star. His wish is that a lass will be able to resist The Hawk and say no to him. Adam hears this and the King and he sets outs to find the perfect woman to bring this about and extract revenge on an unknowing Hawk.<br /><br />Adrienne De Simone is the perfect woman to turn the Hawk down and Adam whisks her back in time to the 16th century. She finds herself in the lap of a huge obnoxious man and learns she is to be wed and she will now be known as Janet Comyn. Mad Janet to be more exact.<br /><br />Once at Dalkeith Upon The Sea Adrienne sees the Smithy and thinks he is most beautiful until she turns and sees her new husband she has never met. Her hatred of beautiful men causes her to instantly dislike Hawk and so begins the journey to love and intrigue. Nothing will ever be the same for either one of the newlyweds. Someone is trying to kill Adrienne, Adam is set upon Hawks destruction, and destiny plays cruel tricks upon the lovers. It will take the Queen of the Fairy stepping in to set things right.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/3151049-cristycundiff">View all my reviews</a>Bamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-51252608345676162562010-11-08T01:21:00.001-06:002011-01-03T00:26:26.523-06:00Paperback Dolls: What would you ask Ilona and Gordon Andrews?<a href="http://paperbackdolls.blogspot.com/2010/10/what-would-you-ask-ilona-and-gordan.html">Paperback Dolls: What would you ask Ilona and Gordon Andrews?</a>Bamafeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012591452391282397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024201168265744519.post-69989863772683833482010-10-13T00:21:00.001-05:002011-01-03T00:25:39.525-06:00Paperback Dolls: Rachel Caine Morganville MEGA GIVEAWAY!<a href="http://paperbackdolls.blogspot.com/2010/10/rachel-caine-morganville-mega-giveaway.html">Paperback Dolls: Rachel Caine Morganville MEGA GIVEAWAY!</a><br /><br />You have to enter.
