REDWOOD BEND

Author: Robyn Carr
Genre: comtemporary romance
Series: Virgin River


Rating :B
Review:  I had almost given up on this series and I'm so glad I didn't.
Here's a summery:
Katie Malone and her twin boys’ trip along the beautiful mountain roads to Virgin River is stopped short by a tire as flat as her failed romance. To make matters worse, the rain has set in, the boys are hungry and Katie doesn’t have the first clue about putting on a spare. As she stands at the side of the road pondering her next move, she hears a distinct rumble. The sight of the sexy, leather-clad bikers who pull up beside her puts her imagination into overdrive.
Dylan Childress and his buddies are on the motorcycle trip of a lifetime. But the site of a woman in distress stops them in their tracks. And while the guys are checking out her car, she and Dylan are checking out one another.
In one brief moment, the world tilts on its axis and any previous plans Katie and Dylan might have had for their futures are left at the side of the road.
   This is the 18th book in the Virgin River series and last year I started to get very bored with the recent additions. But once I fall in love with an author, especially if its in a series, I tend to be very loyal and give that author room to not be perfect all the time. So even though I was disappointed with the last couple of book, I kept reading Carr, hoping that the series would shine again. Redwood Bend was great. I liked the story and all the characters and I would recommend it to any fan of the series or contemporary romance.

Cover: Boring.

Dragonswan

Author:Sherrilyn Kenyon
Genre:Paranormal romance
Series:Were hunter
Cover: The cover model doesn't look like Bas to me but I like the colors and the tapestry in the background.

Rating: D
Review: Scholar Channon MacRea has spent years studying the legendary Dragon Tapestry, devoting days and nights to deciphering the impenetrable Old English symbolism. Then one evening the unnaturally handsome Sebastian appears. He claims to hold the key to solving the tapestry's mysteries. Bearing magnificently taut and tanned flesh marked by intriguing scars of battle, he also claims to be a dragon slayer trapped between two worlds. For Channon there's only one way to finally uncover the secrets of the intricate embroidery-by following the seductive stranger into a fantastic alternate world of magic, danger, and erotic adventure.
In a word....Ridiculous!

Lover Reborn by JR Ward

Genre:Paranormal romance
cover: I'm not a fan of this cover simply because this isn't how I pictured Tohr.
Series:Black dagger Brotherhood #10

Rating:A

Review: description from good reads; In the darkest corners of the night in Caldwell, New York, a conflict like no other rages. The city is home to a band of brothers born to defend their race: the warrior vampires of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Now back in the Brotherhood - and unrecognisable as the vampire leader he once was - Tohrment is physically emaciated and heartbroken beyond despair. When he begins to see his beloved in his dreams - trapped in a cold, isolating netherworld - Tohr turns to a self-serving fallen angel in hopes of saving the one he has lost. When he's told he must learn to love another to free his former mate, Tohr knows they are all doomed . . .

Except then a female with a shadowed history begins to get through to him. Against the backdrop of the raging war with the lessers, and with a new clan of vampires vying for the Blind King's throne, Tohr struggles between the buried past, and a very hot, passion-filled future . . . but can his heart let go and set all of them free?
  I love this series and this latest installment was almost perfect. I personally do not like Xhex, so whenever she showed up I was only interested inasmuch as she related to the others. There was a point in the book where I wished Layla had more of a back bone. She was deliberately mislead and wasn't angry over being lied to. I wanted more from her than the weak female Ive come to know...but as a chosen, I guess I cant expect to much back bone. That dosent take away from the writing for me though. I was along for the ride every single second and what a Steamy ride it was! I found that right from the start I cared about these characters. Even Xcor and Throe. It was a very emotional read for me and I found myself tearing up at several points in the story and staying up until 3 am because I just couldn't put the book down. For any fan of Ward and/or The BDB series this is a MUST read and I recommend this series to anyone that likes paranormal romance. I feel that these books are best read in order so start with Dark Lover and enjoy!
