DOG WALK
by Lesli Richardson

Amira Press
January 2009
ISBN #not assigned
34 pages
eBook

Synopsis: Like any self-respecting wolf, all Ivan wanted was a morning run in the woods. Was that too much to ask? He never planned to end up in the arms of Lindsey Martinez. He certainly never intended to go home with her. And falling in love with her…definitely not part of his daily to-do list.

Now that he knows she’s the perfect mate for him, how does he break the news to her? How does he reveal his secret without freaking her out? How does he show her she’s not just leading him around by a leash…but by his heart?

Stephanie says: “Ms. Richardson has written a fun romp in the park, pun intended! I thoroughly enjoyed this short story and if you’ve got an hour to kill, you will too.”

THE FLAME AND THE SHADOW
(Four-Sided Pentacle: Book 1)
by Denise Rossetti

Ace Books
November 4, 2008
ISBN #0441016340
EAN #9780451462428
384 pages
Trade Size

Synopsis: Some are drawn to the light. Some are drawn to the dark. Some desire both.
Grayson of Concordia, known on countless worlds as the Duke of Ombra, is a mercenary, a sorcerer of shadows-a man whose soul is consumed by darkness. For Gray, the bleak savagery in his heart is manifest in an entity he calls Shad. He has long resisted Shad’s enticements, but when he is hired to kidnap a fire witch, he seizes the chance to restore his soul-no matter the cost.

Cenda’s heart is ash. Since the death of her precious baby daughter, life has lost all meaning for the fire witch. Slowly, she has worked to master her powers and go on living. But when she encounters Gray, her will is no match for her desire, though her love may not survive the terrible discovery of Gray’s plans.

Sonya says: “THE FLAME AND THE SHADOW is a dark erotic tale that is satisfying on many levels. Readers will enjoy the rich development of this fantastic world and its characters, sharing their amusement and passion while squirming at the chilling horrors they face. Cenda is endearing as the unlikely heroine and Gray is deliciously wicked as the antihero with a mysterious dark side.”

Synopsis: SOME THINGS WON’T STAY BURIED…AT GRAVE’S END
It should be the best time of half-vampire Cat Crawfield’s life. With her undead lover Bones at her side, she’s successfully protected mortals from the rogue undead. But though Cat’s worn disguise after disguise to keep her true identity a secret from the brazen bloodsuckers, her cover’s finally been blown, placing her in terrible danger.

As if that wasn’t enough, a woman from Bones’s past is determined to bury him once and for all. Caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful vamp, yet determined to help Bones stop a lethal magic from being unleashed, Cat’s about to learn the true meaning of bad blood. And the tricks she’s learned as a special agent won’t help her. She will need to fully embrace her vampire instincts in order to save herself - and Bones - from a fate worse than the grave.

Amber says: “Cat is an amazingly strong character and her human side makes her extremely likable.”

ABOUT A DRAGON
(Dragon Kin series: Book 2)
by G. A. Aiken

Samhain Publishing
December 5, 2008
ISBN #1605044563
EAN #9781605044569
e-Book (reprint)

Synopsis: Can a powerless witch find happiness with an arrogant, impatient dragon? If the dragon has his way, she sure as hell will.

Book 2 in the award-winning Dragon Kin series!

Talaith’s life has never been easy. A goddess has forced her into servitude. Her husband despises her. And all those in her tiny village fear her. But just when she doesn’t think her life can get any worse, she’s pulled from her bed one morning to be burned at the stake for being a witch. What she never counted on was a terrifying silver dragon deciding to rescue her.

Briec the Mighty didn’t really know what to do with a human female. Especially this one. Chatty and a bit of a complainer, he doesn’t understand why she can’t simply admit to herself that she wants him. Who wouldn’t? He was Briec the Mighty after all. Females fought to spend the night in his arms. But this one tiny woman with her many secrets and her annoying habit of referring to him as “arrogant” has turned his simple dragon life upside down.

This book has been previously published as The Distressing Damsel by Shelly Laurenston and is available under its new title, in print, from Kensington Books.

Nancy says: “Follow along as Talaith may have met her match in Briec, his brothers and Annwyl. Will she finally see her daughter? Will you laugh yourself out of your chair as you read this book? I hope this is not the last we see of the House of Gwalchmai fab Gwyar Dragons because these books are wonderful!”

ECSTASY
(The Shadowdwellers: Book 1)
by Jacquelyn Frank

Kensington Zebra
December 30, 2008
ISBN #0821780700
EAN #9780821780701
352 pages
Paperback

Synopsis: At one with the darkness, the mysterious Shadowdwellers must live as far from light-loving humans as possible in order to survive. Yet one damaged human woman will tempt the man behind the Shadowdweller throne into a dangerous desire…

HER WORLD IS TOXIC TO HIM, AND SO IS THEIR ATTRACTION

Among the Shadowdwellers, Trace holds power that some are willing to kill for. Without a stranger’s aid, one rival would surely have succeeded, but Trace’s brush with death is less surprising to him than his reaction to the beautiful, fragile human who heals him. By rights, Trace should hardly even register Ashla’s existence within the realm of Shadowscape, but instead he is drawn to everything about her — her innocence, her courage, and her lush, sensual heat…

After a terrifying car crash, Ashla Townsend wakes up to find that the bustling New York she knew is now eerie and desolate. Just when she’s convinced she’s alone, Ashla is confronted by a dark warrior who draws her deeper into a world she never knew existed. The bond between Ashla and Trace is a mystery to both, but searching for answers will mean confronting long-hidden secrets, and uncovering a threat that could destroy everything Trace holds precious …

Marlene says: “ECSTASY has it all– great word-building, political intrigue, likeable characters, and a hero and heroine worth rooting for. This book is highly recommended.”

DEMON’S HUNGER
(Compact of Sorcerers: Book 2)
by Eve Silver

Grand Central Publishing (Forever)
November 25, 2008
ISBN #0446618934
EAN #9780446618939
368 pages
Paperback

Synopsis:
A passion to die for…

The Compact of Sorcerers, a brotherhood sworn to protect the wall between the human and demon realms, is thrust into battle with an unseen evil that threatens to destroy them all…

Forensic anthropologist Vivien Cairn fears she’s losing her mind. Her libido has kicked into overdrive, and she’s blacking out, leaving hours of her life unaccounted for and no memory of where she’s been or
what she’s done. But when a sexy stranger rescues her from a demon attack, Vivien realizes there’s more than just her sanity at stake.

A seductive killer is luring victims, and Sorcerer Dain Hawkins finds himself walking a dangerous line between ancient duty and sizzling desire when the brotherhood- -and Vivien herself–begins to suspect
that her mysterious symptoms may connect her to the crimes. Can Dain save Vivien from the evil that threatens to claim her? Or will they both succumb to…

DEMON’S HUNGER

Leslie says: “I am a big fan of Eve Kenin’s award winning SHOMI futuristic romances so when the publisher sent me the latest Eve Silver dark fantasy paranormal romance (same author, different name) my reaction was YES!!!!!! I was not disappointed. This is the second book in the Compact of Sorcerers series and there were references to the earlier story but not so much that the book couldn’t stand on its own. I will definitely be picking up the first book, DEMON’S KISS, right away though.

I was mesmerized by this tale. Not for one moment did I wonder if Vivian’s heart was less than pure, but the unfolding of the mystery surrounding the succubus crimes was superbly handled. The romance was hot! Dain is a hero to die for. Sexy and loyal, he relies on his instincts when all evidence points to the contrary. And because the diabolical demon plot has not yet been resolved, one simply cannot wait for the next installment to find out what happens next. Oh yeah, there are several sexy sorcerers still unattached too. Yum. Eve Silver is a truly versatile writer and I can’t wait to see what she tries next.”

Synopsis:
Ivan Drake entered this world with a terrible stigma—his parents sold his soul to the Devil Himself before he was even born.

A vampire phoenix, who is also a witch—thanks to his parents’ blood—Ivan spends his days trying to make the world a better place, fighting to stop the escalating war between the witches and vampires. By night he is the Devil’s bounty hunter, unable to control his actions, and fiercely vicious.

Now he’s been sent to claim the Grande Grimoire, the Book of All Spells guarded by a powerful witch. If he can bring the book to his diabolical master the war may cease, but to take it away from the witch would mean her sure death.

Can Ivan give up his own life for the future of the paranormal nations, or will the woman he loves beat him to the sacrifice?

by Lillian Cauldwell

Star Publish
October 24, 2008
ISBN #1932993983
EAN #9781932993981
228 pages
Paperback

Synopsis: Three ‘tween sneaker sleuths face the unsolved mystery of Jefferson Davis’lost gold treasure with a little bit of help from a ghostly black fist and divining rods.
Twelve-year-old Anna Mae Botts, her eight-year-old brother Malcolm, and Anna Mae’s best friend Raul Garcia, face a ghostly black fist on their first day of school. It blocks their entrance into school, while dropping paper clues about Jefferson Davis’ lost Civil War gold. Things get more complicated when a school fire occurs.

Mysterious events soon overtake Raul, Malcolm, and Anna Mae at school as well as at home. Rats, alphabet noodle clues, floating chalk, and phantom false-bottom wagons lead the tweens to travel the same route by car that was taken by Jefferson Davis and his gold-laden wagon train.
With divining rods given to her by her granma, computer printouts, and Spirit Journey memories that take her back to a Civil War past, Anna Mae, Raul, and Malcolm find Jefferson Davis’ lost gold treasure, part of it buried on Chennault Plantation and more of it in a vacant lot on the outskirts of Warthen, Georgia.

Deborah says: “It’s a delightful YA book that give kids and teens a mix of history, paranormal and mystery, with a quirky cast of multi-racial characters, filling a void sadly missing in current YA material. This strikes a chord of The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew from my childhood, but tailored for today’s YA readers. A promising start for the series.”

Tessa had it rough. She’s been through a lot, mostly at the hands of a terribly abusive boyfriend. Finally free of the horrible man, she’s trying to put her life back together. It’s so hard to get out there and do it, especially when the one guy you really want is your partner at work. He has it all, if only he’d ask her out. With the big Halloween Party coming up, she hopes he’ll say yes and accompany her. Scudder can’t make the party, but he finally makes his feelings known to Tessa. The man of her dreams takes her out for a wonderful night and promises her there will be many more to come.

Scudder knows Tessa has been through a lot at the hands of an abusive former lover. He’s heard the stories and so he waited in order to give Tessa time to heal, because he knows it’s just a matter of time. He will claim his mate, and they will have a long and happy life together. He refuses to ruin it by scaring her off or getting involved too quickly before she’s totally healed. However, he’s never going to let anyone touch his mate again. He wants nothing more than to attend the party with his sexy mate but there are some things shapeshifters can’t avoid; a full moon for one. That doesn’t mean he won’t stay by her side, because some dangers refuse to leave poor Tessa alone, and he never will. Not his mate, not ever.

This was such a terrific story and a great love affair set around the magic of Halloween. I love this fantastic world created by Lesli Richardson. The snarky humor, a trademark for Ms. Richardson, hot sex scenes and action packed excitement will give you a great deal of entertainment, in a short period of time; talk about fun. Do yourself a favor and take a break, kick up your feet and enter Ms. Richardson’s fun world. You’ll have a blast, I guarantee it.

Lindsey couldn’t be happier, well, maybe she could. But she’d worry about putting her life back together later. She was finally in Florida again. It’s been a long haul, and it should be safe to be home now. All she wanted was a jog in the park, is that so much for a girl to ask? It soon becomes apparent that a group of thugs have other plans for Lindsey. When they attack her in the park the largest dog Lindsey has ever seen comes to her rescue. Unable to explain the instant devotion and love she feels for the animal, and it goes beyond the simple fact that he saved her life, she decides to take the dog home with her. Little does Lindsey know, but her life is about to change forever. And it’s going to be for the better.

Ivan just needed a run, he wanted nothing more than to get out and feel the change take him over, blow off some steam. He had no idea something was about to hit him when suddenly he came upon a young woman in the park, catching her intoxicating scent Ivan knows he’s found his mate. Too bad the poor jerks that attacked her chose his mate to go after. Once Ivan gets a look at her, he vows he’s never letting her go, because he’s found the one, finally. He’s been searching for her his whole life. Ivan senses there’s something else in her life that’s wrong, he just can’t figure it out. Soon, what’s wrong is revealed to him, and now it’s up to him to save her and keep her safe from harm. He will have lots of walks in the park with his mate if he has anything to say about it.

Ms. Richardson has written a fun romp, what a walk in the park… a Dog Walk that is. It makes a girl want to run out to the Dog Park! I thoroughly enjoyed this short story set in Lesli Richardson’s world of shapeshifters. Seriously, if you’ve got an hour to kill, a little time on your hands, you will love it too. It was a great story, a fun romance, with lots of heat; sorry, pun intended, I couldn’t resist! This is the second short I’ve read that Lesli has set in this world of shapeshifters and I can honestly say, I look forward to many more shorts in this series. I highly recommend Dog Walk.
