No Man Can Tame (The Dark-Elves of Nightbloom, #1) by Miranda Honfleur

No Man Can Tame (The Dark-Elves of Nightbloom, #1)No Man Can Tame by Miranda Honfleur
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Picked this up based on the cover, but Veron and Aless pulled me in. It took me a few tries before I became immersed, but once I did-I was all in. These aren't your Lord of the Rings elves. These are some claw-having assassins with grey skin and fangs.
Princess Alessandra is a pawn in her father and one of the Queen of the elf kingdom's plans. Hopefully, she can get the prince of the elves to go along with her plan but little does she know that the elves are starving and her marriage is the sole answer.

When I think of Veron I think of Prince Nuada.


And Princess Alessandra


I'm so excited for the next part in the series. The Brotherhood I'm sure will be back and so will (view spoiler).

Wildfire (Hidden Legacy, #3) by Ilona Andrews

Wildfire (Hidden Legacy, #3)Wildfire by Ilona Andrews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I am in love. I just decided to dip into the Hidden Legacy series not 5 days ago. I finished book 2 on Sunday and I was dying for more.



In all of Ilona Andrews's books you can tell that SO MUCH research, time and patience went into every single page.



I actually felt like a gunsmith (if not just her husband's prior military knowledge) was consulted for the armory in this book.

Honestly, every single thing about this book is great. The characters. The action. The sex. The familial relationships. Everything reads so realistic and believable. In my mind's eye I can see mages fighting in the streets guerilla style.




It goes without saying that you need to have read the previous books to know what is going on. We know Nevada's days of hiding her and her families powers are at an end. Her paternal grandmother is 'after' her and to compound it her ex's childhood sweetheart shows up at her office asking for help.



Its just...too...good.

I have no idea if this is the end, but I hope not. I hope it either continues in this series or segue ways into another. Either way...

ARC Charlie Foxtrot (CODE 11 KPD SWAT SERIES BOOK 5) by Lani Lynn Vale



BLURB

Foster made a promise in his hospital bed when his leg was taken from him that he’d get back to one hundred percent. Leg or no leg, he’d get back on the SWAT team if it killed him.
And he does get back. But he has a problem.

He can’t let go of the past.

The anger burns deep, making his emotions volatile at the best of times.

Then he meets Blake with her haughty attitude and inability to distinguish the difference between a pocket knife and a sword.

Little by little, she makes him whole again, one bad joke at a time.

She doesn’t see the revenge in his eyes, though. Doesn’t see the rage burning deep.

Rage so pure and all encompassing, that he knows it’ll explode.

It’s just a matter of time.

What Foster doesn’t realize, though, is that the love that Blake has for him is enough to fight his demons, one kiss at a time.

Foster never stood a chance.









I’m sure by now everyone knows how much I love Lani Lynn Vale (LVV). I have yet to read a book of hers that I did not like. There are a few that I wasn’t 100% in love with, but for the most part LVV can do no wrong. I love her heroes. I love her heroines. I love their journey to each other, which most often includes an amazing dose of humor, hot sex, sadness and finally happiness when it all seems to come together.


Note : You do need to be familiar with the previous books in the series to follow along with this book.


So we all know that Foster lost his leg in the previous book “Execution Style” and I for one was eager to see how his carefree character would transform into Crush (his new nickname) & who he would attract. Cue Blake. She is the new station dispatcher and her first run in with Foster leaves him on the ground – literally. 


Whenever it’s time to read a LVV new release I have to wonder how she is going to wow me this time. She always has fresh ideas and doesn’t let her books become predictable. I think the best thing about her books, which keeps me coming back, is that she makes her female characters so personable and humorous. I can see myself being best friends with these women and the men….wowsa. They are all drool worthy in their own way and their personalities are all unique – besides all of them being sexy and covered in tattoos. Another thing that keeps me coming back is the epilogue. In my opinion, LVV writes some of the best epilogues in the writing world. She satisfies my nosy need to know how each character mentioned ends up at the end of the book. 


Without ruining the story, I think this is my favorite so far in the CODE 11 SWAT series. Blake’s grandfather is an absolute riot (that pocket knife switchblade), Foster’s mom Sloan is priceless and Blake herself is amazing.  


Definitely worth reading over and over.


Definitely worth buying in print.
