*Beast 2 is a serial novella. If you don't like novellas, or reading stories in installments, this probably isn't for you. It deals with intense subjects and features absolutely panty-melting sex. If you're on a bus, in the subway, in your office, or babysitting innocent children, I'd advise you to read this story later. If you just can't wait, be warned.

This book is just short enough that you can read it fast and there is just enough stuff to draw you in and it leaves you wanting more. The chemistry between "Beast" & "Angel" is intense and they seem to each get something they need from each other.
"Beast" basically runs the prison and with the dark he doesn't think he deserves the light and then in walk his Angel from the fateful night that put him where he is. "Angel" has been carrying around feelings for Ricardo since that night, wondering what happened to him. The question is can they help each other see the light? Those questions aren't answered in this book, but it definitely has some steamy scenes that leaves you wanting.
Looking forward to reading the other 2 books in this series to see what happens.

Review-Journey by Claudy Conn

Journey Book Title – Journey
Author – Claudy Conn
Publisher – Claudy Conn
ISBN/ASIN - 9781310683206
Genre –Fantasy > Paranormal 

 
 
What would you do if you wanted a normal life and another one was thrust into your hands?
What would you do if you had attained success and relative (if not complete) happiness and you were pushed onto a path that clearly designated it as ‘no return’?
What would you do if he, the man of your dreams walked into your life and you knew, absolutely knew, that one day he would leave because he was from another realm with secrets you couldn't discern. Would you seize the moment?
Riley Doogan decided to cease the moment, and it cost her all the normalcy she had ever hoped to have in her life and that life was now fraught with terror.
Part one of Riley’s journey takes us on waves of passion and exploding tides of adventure, just the kind she had never wanted to have. She had wanted the ‘white picket fence’ the dog, the children and a good, loving man. What she got was bloody hell and a passion she had never thought even possible!



Claudy Conn  
 
What do I do when I'm not writing? I love the outdoors and my Bob and I are always hiking, swimming, traveling, playing with our wolf and her son and the horses. My daughter and her great husband live nearby and so am very lucky to be able to spend wonderful times with them.
My favorite things, Chocolate, fries and pizza, ha, which I get to enjoy so rarely, LOL.
My beautiful Cherokee and her son Rocky the Man who we both love to spoil. Pride our horse.
The Vampire Diaries and I am definitely Team Damon!

This is Claudy Conn at her best!! Immortals, Witches, Dark Wizard and Demons, oh my!!
Between the romance, sexy and erotic love scenes between our two strong minded main characters - Riley Doogan (who owns a high end children's clothing store on 5th Ave. In N.Y.C. And also happens to be a white witch) and Finn Dunraven (an Immortal Prince from another Realm and who has some magic of his own), to Prio (the Immortal Dark Wizard), we are taken on one heck of a ride. There are twists and turns and surprises galore in this tale. I also adore Fred, Finn's golden lab who is also special.
I was so enthralled with the story, couldn't put it down until I was finished. Claudy really outdid herself with this one and I'm anxiously awaiting for the next book of this awesome adventure!! This is a MUST READ especially if you are one of Claudy Conn's fans as I am. Wish I could have given this one 10 stars!!

Author – Nicole Garcia
Publisher –Nicole Garcia
ISBN/ASIN -   B00P2B2RWQ
Genre – Paranormal, Fantasy

 
 
Ever wonder how much your life would change if you won a million dollars? Well, that fantasy is about to become reality for one lucky winner of the new reality game show, The Haunting. Six people will enter the contest, but not everyone will win. In fact, there can only be one winner. A drug dealer, an exotic dancer, a drug addict, an entrepreneur, a district attorney, and a rich kid, are all desperate in some way. Whether they need the money, or are looking for something different and need a break from their boring everyday life. It may seem that these contestants have nothing in common, but that's not the case. They have one very important thing in common, their desperation to win the prize . But, winning the money is going to be anything but easy. Not only will they have to spend a full twenty-four hours together in a haunted mansion, but they will have to overcome their weaknesses and make alliances with their competitors just to survive.
The many people who have visited Waverly Mansion have gone missing and never returned home to their loved ones. Are these contestants so desperate that they would risk their lives just to win money? A million dollars can mean the difference between life and death to some people, but there are many questions you need to ask yourself. Is the money worth the torment and anguish you will have to endure in order to win? What about your life? Is dying the price you are willing to pay in order to win that amount of money? Can these people survive long enough to claim their prize? Or will their desperation take hold of them and sabotage the other's chances at winning the game? Who deserves to win the money when no one is really the person they appear to be?

Happily married and mother of four. We have two daughters and two sons. Both my sons have special needs since they are Autistic. I have a degree in Nursing, but have been a stay at home mom for the past 8 years. I have a few hobbies such as gardening and rescuing exotic pets. We have so many I could probably charge admission to our small petting zoo. But I have to say my absolute passion is reading. So after spending so much time at home, I decided to make a career out of sharing my love for books. Writing and promoting has become a full time job for me now. There are so many unknown authors out there that deserve to have their books read by many. So after promoting for authors for two years, I decided to follow my dreams and start writing my own books. I started writing poetry when I was just a little girl and have always loved the feeling it gave me. Currently I am working on a New Adult Contemporary Romance, but later I plan to write other genres. Hope you will join me in all the fun ahead.
"Always aim for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."















This was the first book I have read from Nicole Garcia.
I loved it and will be reading more!
This story is about a group of people that were chosen for
a contest to win great deal of money by staying in a Haunted mansion
for 24 hours.
This story had suspense, murder, romance and great sex!
It is a story you won't see what happens next, coming! Get

about





Cynthia St Aubin  
 
Cynthia St. Aubin wrote her first play at age eight and made her brothers perform it for the admission price of gum wrappers. A steal, considering she provided the wrappers in advance. Though her early work debuted to mixed reviews, she never quite gave up on the writing thing, even while earning a mostly useless master's degree in art history and taking her turn as a cube monkey in the corporate warren.
Because the voices in her head kept talking to her, and they discourage drinking at work, she started writing instead. When she's not standing in front of the fridge eating cheese, she's hard at work figuring out which mythological, art historical, or paranormal friends to play with next. She lives in Colorado with the love of her life and three surly cats.















Dysfunctional is the first three books all rolled into one.
It is a quick read, entertaining and made me laugh out loud!
You will love Matilda as well as all the other characters.
Cynthia has you sucked in from the very beginning.  Go buy
it today. You won't be disappointed!!
