Review of The
Werewolf's Wife by Michele Hauf
Published: April 3, 2012
5 out of 5 smirks
Synopsis: "The legacy he must obey…
The child she must save…
The man who threatens to fulfill her every
fantasy…and break her heart.
Alpha wolf Ridge Addison left his wife in Las
Vegas, vowing to put their one reckless night of passion behind him and return
to his clan. Thirteen years later he needs a divorce so he can become pack
leader. Yet he’s never forgotten the sensuous witch whose life he saved…or the
knee-buckling kisses he still craves.
After they parted, Abigail tried banishing Ridge
from her memory. Now her heart belongs only to her son. But when the boy is
kidnapped, she knows she alone can’t save him. Though Abigail’s body still
aches for Ridge, she’s willing to give him his freedom in exchange for his
help. But who will shield her heart from the only man she’s ever let claim her,
body and soul?"
The
Werewolf's Wife by Michele Hauf is an inspiring
story about knowing what you want out of life and knowing you deserve it. I
love Michele Hauf and am a big fan of her writing so much so that I am not
surprised I feel in love with this story and her characters so easily. I love
that as readers we are sucked back into a world in which reality is so much
bigger than what people consider normal or even standard. Getting to know Ridge more as a character is
a real treat because he is a walking contradiction of himself, he possesses the
whole package. Re-meeting Abigail and
finding out about her past as well as her past with Ridge was addicting. Throughout the entire story I was rooting for
Ridge to get his future he clearly wanted for himself. I don't want to give anything away about this
story because that's what makes reading this story so enjoyable, the twists and
turns. In short, I give The Werewolf's
Wife by Michele Hauf 5 smirks because
I couldn't put it down and the ending was a moment when readers will say
"FINALLY!"
Review of Goddess In
The Middle by Stephanie Julian

4 out of 5 smirks
Synopsis: "Amity, the Goddess of Health, works as a
medical aesthetist, using her remaining goddess powers to help people heal
their spirits. Her profession soon brings two masculine Etruscan werewolves,
Remy and Rom, into her life. The two werewolves have been searching for a woman
powerful enough to handle both of them, but they've never met a woman strong
enough...until they meet Amity. Together they must use the power generated by
their love to kill a vicious demon and keep him locked away forever, or risk
losing everything."
Goddess In The Middle by Stephanie
Julian is a supernatural story about possibilities. What I really love about
this story is how Amity, Remy, and Rom all seem to heal one another and find
what they have all really been looking for.
This story takes on a life of its own with surprising revelations and unique
characters who will make you wonder if their story is next. Goddess In The Middle is a sensual, erotic, adventurous,
funny, enlightening story that will have readers begging for more. I give Goddess
In The Middle by Stephanie Julian 4 smirks because the characters are ones
who will live in readers minds forever.
Review of Immersed
In Pleasure by Tiffany Reisz
Published: February 28, 2012
4 out of 5 smirks
Synopsis: "The Manhattan Mermaids: Believed to
be the most beautiful women in the city, they entertain wealthy, powerful men
in an exclusive club called Fathoms....and are all virgins. Derek Prince
doesn't believe they really exist, until he meets the stunningly sensual Xenia.
She drives him wild with desire, but giving in to temptation means losing her
position at Fathoms. Derek is incredibly turned on by the thought of being
Xenia's first...but will he be willing to wait for her?"
Immersed In
Pleasure by Tiffany Reisz is a short erotic story about fairytales coming
to life. While Xenia may not be a real
mermaid, she certainly plays the part of someone who is uniquely in their own
world. Derek on the other hand has a
complete reality check after meeting Xenia and realizes he wants more out of
life. This extremely virginal story is
so fantasy filled, it should be illegal since there is no real sex involved (at
least not until later). Immersed In Pleasure by Tiffany Reisz is
captivating, sweet, pure, and erotic. I
give it 4 smirks or should I say fish.
Review of The
Harder They Fall by Trish Jensen
Published: May 1, 2012
5 out of 5 smirks
Synopsis: "Food fight, love match, or both?
She’s a lovable klutz trying to save her family’s restaurant chain. He’s a
stuffed shirt angling to buy it. Who will trip up and fall in love first?
Darcy Welham’s dad is ready to sell his five-star restaurants and retire, but
she’s determined to prove she can be trusted to keep the family business going.
Darcy’s sure it’s what her mother would have wanted. Only one problem: her life
turns into a comedy show when she’s nervous. Pratfalls, spills, slips and
fires—all in a day’s misadventures for Darcy. She can’t even wait on tables
without dumping food into the customers’ laps. When supper lands on a sensitive
area of businessman Michael Davidson’s finely creased trousers, he tries to
have his gorgeous but careless waitress fired, only to discover that she’s the
person he has to win over if he wants to buy the restaurant chain for his
bosses.
From that antagonistic start, Darcy and Michael soon find that there’s
more to each other than first expected. She’s clumsy because she’s got low
self-esteem. She may be a disaster as a waitress, but she’s a genius as a cook,
with a talent for creating mouth-watering new dishes. Darcy begins to realize
that Michael is not a stuffed shirt at heart—he’s patient, strong and brave,
which any man who dates Darcy has to be, because she turns into a Danger Zone
every time he makes her heart flutter."
The Harder
They Fall by Trish Jensen is a laugh out loud, hilarious story about being
yourself and finding the one who loves you because of it. Darcy is a very matter of fact character
whose frankness is both endearing and oddly funny. Michael is an uptight character who starts to
loosen up once he's been in Darcy's company.
Though these two characters do not make sense as a couple, but they
really do complement one another and reveal one another's true path. I love the courtship of Darcy and Michael,
how it evolves to something more than business with Michael as soon as he
spends significant amount of time with Darcy.
I also love how clumsy Darcy is except when she feels confident. All in all this is a must read, own, and
recommend book I give 5 smirks to.
