Supernaturally Kissed Tour Stop!


Synopsis:
Ghosts harass and annoy Tess Jennings to save their souls. Sometimes she helps them. Other times she ignores them. But one ghost will give her no choice.

Kipp McGowen, a cop with the Memphis Police Department, will stop at nothing to gain her help, including using his ghostly charms to seduce her.
Tess must help solve the five year old cold case of Hannah Reid, because solving the case will save Kipp. But a bigger problem presents itself. Tess is falling in love with a ghost. Now she must decide.

Keep Kipp forever or find the killer…



Review:
If you are a murder mystery slueth fascinated by the who-done-it ,this is a tale for you, including a paranormal aspect that adds to the mix of things.

Supernaturally kissed will have steam coming out of your ears as pulse pounding erotica occurs between solving the murder mystery that has kept Kipp from moving on.

I found myself wondering, before I was actually able to get involved in the book, how it was going to work. A relationship between a ghost and a living person just seemed kind of out there, I will say it reminded me of a story I read on quizilla as a teenager where things were similar but the ghost left a glow in the dark hickey that made me laugh.

They deffinetly tackle that little problem without so much as an eye blink it seemed like. And while the story was fascinating as I tried to put all the pieces together right along side them, one of the things I didn't like was all the sex in it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those type of scenes just as much as the next girl, but at a point it can be to much. Perhaps it was the far out notion of a ghost and a living person that just weirded me out but it just seemed like the erotica of it didn't fit well with the story.

I will say one thing I did like about the story was the killer was not thrown in your face every chance they got. It was actually hard to spot until right at the last moment almost.

Rating: 3.5 Stars!



About the Author:
I love paranormal romance/urban fantasy and erotic romance, and love a series more. Nothing can hook me in more than an adventure and one that keeps on going. I love a page turner, one that keeps me up late into the night and makes my eyes burn because I can’t stop reading.

Witty characters, dominant men, danger, action, romance and hot sex―oh my!

My urban fantasy romance novels are lighthearted fantasy with heart squeezing, thigh-clenching romance, and even give a good chuckle every now and again. But within the stories you’ll find fast paced action, emotions we can all relate to, life threatening moments and a big bad villain that needs to be destroyed.

My erotic romance novels are just that…erotic. There is nothing better than taking the dominant men I love and watching them do wicked things to their women. I make the stories as hot as I possibly can and usually the characters take it a step further to even make my cheeks blush. But I just can’t write without a little humor added into the mix so that’s always a must have in my stories. And of course what’s a story without a big dose of emotional characters, too.

I’m a multi-published author and am represented by Lauren Ruth of BookEnds, who is my strengthen in this crazy world of publishing. I’ve written quite a few short novels and novellas, and starting in 2012 my full-length novels will release, which is exciting times.

My journey as a writer all began as a way to keep my brain alive since being a stay at home mom can be a little let’s say―numbing. It was an escape from screaming kids, dirty diapers and plain old mom duty. It started as a hobby, but as the stories progressed it became a passion, especially when it comes down to the juicy bits. Every mom needs a good thrill! Now with my kiddos in school, I have more time to indulge and get lost in another world for a little while.

I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband who gave me my happily ever after. We have two small children who keep me on my toes and can always make me smile. But we also have basically a zoo at our house with one dog, three cats and two guinea pigs. I love the outdoors, curling up with the latest flick and simply enjoying life.

If I’m not plugging away at a new story—which isn’t often since my muse is annoying and keeps me busy—I’ve got my nose buried deep in a good book! I’m always on the lookout for new authors to love.

So there it is―my life!

The Guardian by Sherrilyn Kenyon



Synopsis:
Dream-Hunter Lydia has been charged with the most sacred and dangerous of missions: To descend into the Nether Realm and find the missing god of dreams before he betrays the secrets that could kill her and her kind. What she never expects is to be taken prisoner by the Realm’s most vicious guardian…

Seth’s time is running out. If he can’t hand over the entrance to Olympus, his own life and those of his people will be forfeit. No matter the torture, Seth hasn’t been able to break the god in his custody. Then there’s the beautiful Dream-Hunter Lydia: She isn’t just guarding the gates of Olympus—she’s holding back one of the world’s darkest powers. If she fails, an ancient curse will haunt the earth once more and no one will be safe. But evil is always seductive...
Review:
For anyone who has read the saga that is sweeping the nation be it the Dark-Hunter, Dream hunter and so on, of Sherrilyn Kenyon's work's then you know that the main charachter is no stranger to heartache. The king of heartache and pain being Acheron himself, hopefully you my fellow reader have read his story and that of Zarek, because they are the ones I think who had it the worst. But Seth gives them a run for their money.
I always felt so bad for the poor boy whose father was the powerfull Egyptian god SET, and through the story you see as each time the people he considers his family and he actually lets under his guard betray him in some of the worst ways possible until he is sold into slavery, to a god or powerful being of Hell and literally has ages upon ages of torture.
One of the things I loved about this book was the fact that they took a step away from the well known Greek Gods and traveled into Egyptian territory.
I could also relate with how hard it is to let someone in after you have been stomped on time and time again and then kicked when you are down just for safe measure.
This book will break your heart and rebuild it.
Rating: 5 Stars!
Favorite Charrie: Jaden, he always is one of my favorite characters for his smart ass mouth and go to hell attitude no matter what.
