Eternal Pleasure

This is the first book in the Gods of the Night series by Nina Bangs and the story of Ty and Kelly.

Kelly Maloy is your average college student, working her way thru college with a series of odd jobs. This last job she's taken will put her way over the top with college money - making it a little easier for her to afford extra's, like food. The job is easy - pick this guy up from the airport and drive him wherever he needs to go every evening for a couple of weeks. But what is that saying about something being 'too good to be true'?

Ty Endeka is a beautiful man and he provokes feelings in Kelly that are almost overwhelming in their intensity. He seems too big, too much, too primal - nothing like any man Kelly has ever met before.

Ty is part of the Eleven - an alliance of ultimate predators. They have come together to prevent what the Mayans predict to be the end of the world on 12-21-12.


How does Kelly fit into this plan? Can Ty be true to himself, to his very nature - without scaring Kelly away?

I don't want to give too much away here - but the concept of this book is a little out there. Don't get me wrong - it is an awesome concept and I did enjoy this book. I am assuming there will be at least 10 more, with one book for each of the 'eleven' and maybe one for their leader, Fin - I'm not sure about that one though - cause I have no idea what Fin is going to turn out to be. LOL

I give this book a 3.5 out of 5. But I look forward to the next ones in the series.

Hostage to Pleasure

This is the 5th book in the Psy/Changeling series by Nalini Singh and the story of Dorian and Ashaya.

Ashaya Aleine is an M-Psy (medical) specializing in DNA. She has been forced to an underground research facility by The Council and charged with finding a biochemical weapon that will give the Psy an foothold over the human and changeling population. To keep Ashaya in line and doing what they want, The Council has kidnapped her son.

Dorian Christensen is a DarkRiver Sentinel, in every regard he is leopard. He smells like a leopard, moves like a leopard - but from birth he has not been able to shift into leopard form. Dorians leopard lives within him and has no way out - this is the reason why Dorian pushes himself to be better at everything else. He needs to be better to make up for what he feels is a disadvantage.


Ashaya helped Dorian and the Changelings rescue two human children from the underground facility. The Changelings felt they owed Ashaya a debt - this debt was called when Ashaya asked them to rescue her son from The Council.

Dorian has not been able to get Ashaya out of his mind and this is driving him crazy because the one person who loved him unconditionally, his sister, was killed by a maniac Psy. Dorian feels that this is a betrayal to his sisters memory.

Can Ashaya escape the underground facility? Can Dorian rescue Ashaya's son and overcome his hatred for all things Psy?

This was a wonderful read and like the ones before it, I enjoyed it immensely. I love the world Ms. Singh has created, it is complex and evolving. I can't wait for the next one.

I give this book and the entire series a 5 out of 5 stars.

Warrior: The Time Hunters

This is the 9th book in the 'Warlord' series by Angela Knight and the story of Jessica and Galar. This is also the first book I've read by Angela Knight, and now I want all of them. LOL

Jessica Kelly is your average Southern Belle. She is mild mannered and full of life, despite having known a rocky childhood. Jessica is an avid painter and finds beauty in all things.

Galar Arvid is a genectically altered Warlord from the 23rd century. He is an Enforcer in the Temporal Enforcement Agency and it is his job to police illegal Jumps through time. Jumps where people are killed or maimed for a profit in the future.

Galar is sent back in time to Atlanta, 2008 to find out if the murder of artist Jessica Kelly was committed by a Jumper in the hopes of raising the prices of her paintings in the future. Unable to change history, Galar must determine if Jessica's death was the result of a Jumper or just a random act of violence. If the killer is a Jumper, Galar can intervene, if not - Jessica must die.

What Galar finds is that Jessica, without her knowledge, has been thrust into a world of aliens - right in the middle of a fight for the right to live.

This book is unlike any I've read before, the concept is fresh and mixes romance and fantasy into a heady cocktail (no pun intended, well okay - yeah, pun intended). It is full of sex - so be warned. :)

I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of Ms. Knight's books.

I give this book a 5 out of 5.
