The first was Rapture by J.R. Ward. It is the 4th book in her newer Fallen Angels series. I started it last night and it has already got me on the edge of my seat with J.R.'s grit and just raw masculinity of these characters. Who doesn't like to read about a mans man that's wrapped up in a woman??
The second is released today, Dark Storm by Christine Feehan. It is the 23rd book in the Dark Series. Yes, i have read them all... most of them many times over.
Now i'm sure most of you are aware of my very loved and adored (and needless to say, BEAUTIFUL) Library built in shelves my husband made [see here]. I love this room more than any room in my house. Reading is my getaway, my haven into make beleive that has love so much like my own. But of course with a little paranormal, or intensity that isn't common for my day to day. I mean c'mon, Brian isn't going to wake up a Vampire anytime soon. haha.
I tend to share my love of books with all my friends that read. And by read, i mean i really read. Usually at least a book a week if not more. I got a Nook Color for Christmas last year and since then i have read nearly 70 books!! Everyone is always borrowing books, asking what i like, what they're about.. yada yada... so i decided that i would start a Tuesday weekly review of books (pass this along to your reader friends and maybe we can get an OPEN review where others can put their thoughts and referrals too).
I'll go through them all at some point but lets start with my all-time top 5 books.
1. Dark Guardian by Christine Feehan from the Dark Series (I am so overly in love with Jaxon and Lucien in this book, they are the PERFECT couple, and your heart just breaks for BOTH of them all the time)
2. Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward from the Black Dagger Brotherhood series
3. Darkest Seduction by Gena Showalter from the Lords of the Underworld series (I definately suggest reading the first books in this series BEfore this book, so that you know whats going on)
4. Savor the Danger by Lori Foster - a 4 peice series called Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor (they're mercenaries!! Who doesn't love a little law breaking ass kicking hotties?)
5. Lover Eternal by J.R. Ward also the BDB series (I literally cried during this book)
Next week you can all look forward to the review of Rapture by J.R. Ward!!! BUt don't fret, i wont give away the endings :-) I can't wait... she is just oober amazing. So you know what you're in for, the Fallen Angels are 2 badass angels with a man/angel who is appointed to save the world from hell and Devina -- she's pretty much a demon that represents hell, and everything else that is bad. Each book is a new soul he has to save and it is between good and evil. J.R. Ward has a knack for writing in a really current and easily relatable way. The angels are not some frilly little wuss bags, but warriors with a core of steel and their own inner demons and turmoil. Drugs, alcohol, sex... it's all in there. With love. And romance. And always such an unexpected twist. Each soul should in the book is at a crossroads to make a decision.. whether they make the right choice or not determines who gets the points. The Boys, or Devina. And lordy you just dread Devina getting the point! I'm only in the beginning of the book, but here's a peek at a part that TOTALLY absorbed me.....
see what i mean about how she writes?! IN LOVE!!!! As i said, Rapture is the 4th book in the series, so feel free to try out the first one, and second, and third... haha.
If you liked 50 Shades (i think as a female you are genetically altered to love it), then you will enjoy my selections. They are all equally juicy, if not more so. The best part about the series's is you get to fall in love with so many different characters that you get to see bits and peices of throughout the series! You'll be going along your merry way in book 7 and BAM there's the couple you rooted for in book 2, poppin in for a cameo :-)
