Rating 3.5
LOVE TRIANGLE
IN BLOOD WE TRUST is a novel fill of romantic tension as well as a power struggle between the three main characters. Adam is back with one mission, Eve has return to finish what she started, and Sullivan has founded a new purpose to live.
Adam Omega is back again except this time he has done the one thing he has forbidden all of his kind to do and it hurts him more than anyone could ever realize. Adam Omega is what some might consider the Master Vampire he not only is the Master Vampire but he’s able to do things that others can’t do including walk in daylight. When he meets Eve Moses he comes to realize that Eve is his wife from a past life and he’s not willing to give up on her so making her into the one thing she asked him not to do he saved her from self destruction only thing is he wasn’t sure he could continue to love her the way he had in her mortal form.
Eve Moses couldn’t believe that Adam had gone against her wishes and saved her on her dying bed to make her into the thing that she was. Not only had he made her into a vampire but he also made it to where she became dependent on him to survive because she wouldn’t take of human blood. Now known as Eve Omega she is determined to find a way to make herself back mortal. With Sullivan at her side and the friendship that linked the two together the past discretions that were already between Adam and Sullivan it only causes more trouble. Sullivan owed his life to Eve and therefore when she calls for him to help her he answers with no hesitation to only start the world wind relationship and the bitterness between Eve and Adam that sends Adam on a jealous rage as well as him attempting to settle the one major problem he has with himself.
IN BLOOD WE TRUST is a slow start however once you get to the middle of the book the elements of the novel begin to pick up. While the book was a good read there were a few places that could have been filled out and a few places that some of the story seemed to be unnecessary but in all F.D. Davis shows us that paranormal creatures don’t always have to follow the rules.

RIDIN’ THE RAILS
KIMBERLY KAYE TERRY
RATING: 4.5
Sensual Seduction
RAILIN’ THE RAILS was an erotic piece that explored the mind of a science fiction author as she’s asked to step outside of her territory and asked to bring more sex to her writing. Her agent suggests that she goes out and experience a little to get her material.
Naomi Gibson is a national bestselling sci-fi author who has been told that she has to spice up her writing style to stay where she is in the writing scene. With her editor and agent asking for her to take her writing to an erotic level she’s at a lost. With her past knowledge of relationships Naomi shuns the idea of falling in love and happily ever after. With her agent guiding the duo hit a night club and Naomi finds herself pursuing a guy that makes her tremble.
Brice Anders is a prominent corporate lawyer who enjoys his life but feels as something is missing. Growing up in a family where he always felt he needed to live up to his mother’s standards due to his sibling he finds himself always looking at what he could have done instead of what he’s doing. When he meets Naomi he isn’t sure why but he’s drawn to her. A dance turns into an invitation for a night of fun but Brice has more planned than he lets on to.
When Brice and Naomi find their selves at odds due to a quick reminder to Naomi of why relationships don’t work for her she is quick to run but not before throwing dirt in Brice’s face but as always its only a small world so when Brice & Naomi find their selves on the same train heading in the same direction Brice issues some idle promises that leave Naomi shaking for more.
Kimberly Kaye Terry weaves together an excellent story that allows for the readers to embrace both authors as they explore each other and the dynamics of their relationship. While it seems the secondary characters Seth & Rochelle have a little more to tell I am hoping that we will be seeing a follow up to this novel soon. Kimberly has introduced sex in a whole new playing field.

Taken by Storm By Rochelle Alers
Simone Whitfield's book
Taken By Storm
Rochelle Alers
Rating 4
Unpredictable Whitefield
TAKEN BY STORM is the third installment to the Whitefield’s series by Rochelle Alers. Will Simone Whitefield’s bodyguard win her heart of cold and turn it into a passionate heart that needs rekindling?
Simone Whitfield has an eye for flowers but her family would say her choice of men is not the best. When Simone finds herself an eyewitness to an attempted murder her life as she knows is turned upside down when she is assigned a live in bodyguard.
US Marshal Raphael Madison isn’t your everyday bodyguard one might say that when you get to know him during the story he’s a very diligent person. Raphael and Simone butt heads numerous times during the story. He enjoys her because she’s spirited and not against speaking her mind however she detests him because she isn’t use to taking orders.
As a storm brews the pull of passion leads to an electrifying friendship, relationship, and a whirlwind courtship that should never had happen but love has its own way of dealing with things. The book was a delightful read while in the other two installments to the Whitfield sisters I found Simone’s story to be a little different yet in a unique way. With her false bravo in place she finally meets her match in the most unexpected way. I was hoping for a little more because of Simone’s personality but I will give Mrs. Alers her props for she has closed out this series showing that women who have had their bad times can also come out on top. Rochelle Alers weaves to gather an impeccable story leaving you wanting more.

Lorenzo “Renny” Bennett was what the paparazzi called a playboy. He was not interested in being a part of the family business because he had his art and it was taking off but when his world is turned upside down because someone wants to threaten the family he’s introduced to his most influential muse yet.
Not liking the idea that Bree has been assigned as his bodyguard he finds himself finding out the little things about her that sends his blood boiling as they spend time together Bree & Renny find their selves falling in love but not before their past can push them both against the wall fighting for their lives. Along with putting together the pieces to solve the each problem separately, Bree & Renny find their selves solving the biggest problem of all their love.
A.C. Arthur kicks up the notch with this book its one of her best she is an author who can intertwine families with ease. I hope that the rest of the series is just as good.

The Wicked by LA Banks
The Wicked
LA Banks
Rating 4.5
Banks kicks it up a notch and really breaks down some mythology on a level that many have never seen before. Her beloved Neterus are in put in a position that really test the lines of all lines and until they can bring unity to their selves they aren’t really sure they can hold their team of Guardians, refugees, and newly acquired members together but when all else fail you are always told to ask for help.
Damali has done it again she has allowed herself to be cut off from the Queen Neteru Council and for once its truly not her fault but she isn’t letting this hold her down with her husband and the family at her back she knows she can handle anything well almost anything with the wrong images thrown guilt can make a person question their selves.
Carlos knows that with old and new enemies showing up its going to be a moment before anything of normalcy will be at their sides but of course Rivera figures what the hell I’ve seen worse and I have done worse so if they are going to bring the pain I am going down fighting. No one counted on truly getting a prayer answer especially since only two members of the family knew about this prayer but with acquiring a large army as well as having members on the team who had a thing or two within their power stages the team would have victory or was it truly victory….
I have to say we are truly happy to see that Banks series has been extended to a 12 book series but now that a few of us are hooked we have become addicted and always waiting for more insight on this guardian team and the beloved Neterus. We defiantly say keep it up Ms. Banks.
