Hadn’t the Pleasure # 15


The books that have been collecting dust for so long they have become stained from it


Lords of the Vampires
Nicolai the vampire was renowned for his virility, but in a twist of fate ‘The Dark Seducer’ had become a sex slave in the kingdom of Delfina—stripped of his precious timepiece and his memory. All that remained was a primal need for freedom, revenge—and the only woman who could help him.

In her dreams, a wanton vampire called to Jane Parker, drawing her to her dark sexuality and his magical realm. Jane was the key to Nicolai’s memory....but exploiting her meant dooming the only mortal he craved.

Lord of Rage
Princess Breena had been dreaming of her warrior lover when she was ripped from her Elden castle and thrown into a dangerous realm. Lost and alone, she prayed for survival and vengeance for her stolen kingdom. She found both in a woodland cottage...and a dark bear of a man.

The golden-haired beauty had eaten his food and slept in his bed when Osborn found her. Though he wanted to awaken his virgin princess to carnal pleasures, Breena wanted more—including his warrior skills. Now Osborn has a choice: risk his life or deny his princess her fairy-tale ending.

A meme hosted by Breakingthe Spine
You all know what’s going on, so let’s get going....


The eastern seaboard of the USA is experiencing the worst winter weather in living memory, and John Redlaw is in the cold white thick of it. He’s come to America to investigate a series of vicious attacks on vampire immigrants – targeted kills that can’t simply be the work of amateur vigilantes. Dogging his footsteps is Tina “Tick” Checkley, a wannabe TV journalist with an eye on the big time.

The conspiracy Redlaw uncovers could give Tina the career break she’s been looking for. It could also spell death for Redlaw

Stuck in Your Head # 13


I'm going to give you the line from the books I've read that make my mind crave the rest like coke.


“I like Jace,” he insisted, still pacing. “You know I do. He just doesn’t know when to quite sometimes.”
Neither do you, I thought.

Stray by Rachel Vincent
(the Shifters #1)
Published2007 by MIRA books

There are only eight breeding female werecats left . . .
And I'm one of them.
I look like an all-American grad student. But I am a werecat, a shape-shifter, and I live in two worlds.
Despite reservations from my family and my Pride, I escaped the pressure to continue my species and carved out a normal life for myself. Until the night a Stray attacked.
I'd been warned about Strays -- werecats without a Pride, constantly on the lookout for someone like me: attractive, female, and fertile. I fought him off, but then learned two of my fellow tabbies had disappeared.
This brush with danger was all my Pride needed to summon me back . . . for my own protection. Yeah, right. But I'm no meek kitty. I'll take on whatever -- and whoever -- I have to in order to find my friends. Watch out, Strays -- 'cause I got claws, and I'm not afraid to use them . . .
