JM Madden Gave Me A Book Hangover

I LOVE JM Madden
She's the queen of Military Romance. 

Hot heroes and amazing stories.

BUT...
I'm mad at her right now.

Last night I thought I'd read a couple chapters to relax in bed before lights out. I figured, I'd pick a book I've read before so I wouldn't "get sucked in" to the story and not be able to put it down.

So I opened my Kindle to the Lost and Found story Embattled SEAL.


When Harper Preston finds himself flat in a hospital bed after a botched op, he’s okay with dealing with the fallout. If he dies, he’s lived well past his expiration date. The only people that will notice his passing are the guys he works with at Lost and Found Investigative Service. 

Then his estranged wife arrives. 

Cat Preston is thankful and horrified when she’s called to her husband’s side. He’s been shot. Again. But now that she’s found him she’s going to make the most of the opportunity. If it were up to Harper, she would be out of his life completely because he thinks it's the best thing for the family. 

With a little SEAL abduction (for his own good of course) maybe she can convince him otherwise...

The book is AWESOME!!!!

I didn't stop reading until 3am!
I didn't even take a potty break!

Now I'm suffering a major Book Hangover AGAIN!
My eyes are all buggy and my brain is fried with need to read more!

Please, PLEASE... pick up this book...
I got mine on Amazon.
Pick up all of the books in the Lost and Found series for that matter.

When you sit down to read, make sure you have a snack and a bottle of water handy.
Use the bathroom before opening the cover.
Put a friend or loved one on guard duty, a bomb could go off and you wouldn't know.

I GUARENTEE you won't be able to put it down once you start.



Check out the books on Goodreads

Thanks for another sleepless night JM Madden. 
It was worth it.

Tuesday Teaser - Sex, Lies, and Vampires by Katie MacAlister


After falling in love with Katie MacAlister’s writing style and characters I HAD to have more. So… the next time I took Mom to the book store, I found another. This book was originally published in 2005.

Sex, Lies, And Vampires

 I love the quirky heroine in this story, the 3rd book in The Dark Ones series. (Yep… still haven’t picked up the 1st yet.) This book was so fun to read, I couldn’t put it down. Perfect with a glass of red wine, a comfy blanket and cozy chair on a cold winter day.



Nell is a historian...and a charmer. When she inadvertently becomes involved with the supernatural world, Nell meets a Dark One (vampire) known as The Betrayer. Despite the scary title, The Betrayer (actually named Adrian) is incredibly sexy, and the chemistry between them becomes overwhelming. There is a lot of sexual tension and loads of romance. He tries to show his big bad self that all should fear, and she responds by calling him a fluffy pet name like sugarpants. Throw in some re-animated mummies, demons, kidnappings, and misunderstandings and you have the basic plotline of Sex, Lies and Vampires.

Tuesday Teaser - Sex and the Single Vampire by Katie MacAlister

Every other Tuesday I take my mom to her favorite shop… Maxie’s Used Books. Mom fills her basket quicker than you’d think an 86 year old woman could do and leaves little time for me to explore the vast amount of books. However, I did sneak one into Mom’s pile.

Sex and the Single Vampire

This is the second book in Katie MacAlister’s THE DARK ONES series. (I haven’t picked up the 1st book, A Girl’s Guide to Vampires, yet.)

Keeping in mind I enjoy dark romantic tales of vamps, shifters and angels by the likes of Sherrilyn Kenyon, Sandra Hill, J.R.Ward, and Lynsay Sands; but I was blown over with the humor of MacAlister’s heroine.  OMG!  I have never laughed so hard while reading a vamp romance!  My kids thought I’d lost my marbles the way I cackled over the book.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Book Description

It's not easy finding love when you're nine hundred years old . . . And undead

Romance novelist Christian Dante is sexy and arrogant, a true alpha male. He's also a Dark One (aka vampire), doomed to spend eternity cruising the singles scene in search of the one woman who can redeem his soul. But finally he's found the love that Fate has chosen for him. Too bad she sees dead people and likes to play with demons.

Allie Telford is a Summoner—and she needs to rustle up a ghost pretty darn quick or her paranormal career will be over. Luckily, she's just stumbled upon a naked and unquestionably hot specter in a haunted hotel . . . who looks disturbingly like the tall, dark, handsome fantasy man who's been coming to Allie in her dreams. But it seems he's no phantom after all—he's a real flesh-and-blood- fed immortal who's determined to make Allie his lover for forever . . . or longer.

Which may not be a totally bad thing . . .

Tuesday Teaser - Club Wicked 3.5: My Wicked Trainers by Ann Mayburn


At a secret location outside of Washington DC there is a private club where the rich and powerful go to indulge in their most wicked fetishes and desires. Established in 1903, Wicked has hosted everyone from presidents to gangsters, from innocent small town girls to famous Hollywood starlets indulging in the painful pleasures of the dungeons.

Ann Mayburn is an excellent erotic story teller and certainly has the ability to seduce readers one book at a time. I love her Club Wicked Series and had the opportunity to read a little short from the collection.


The first thing that pulled my attention is characters are attending university and living in Leicester, England… a place I know very well and incredibly fond of. Second, I have a soft spot for hunky rugby players so Mayburn had me drooling on the screen of my poor Kindle. The characters in this story have a possibility to develop a greater relationship. Full of sexual tension, this story left me wanting more.



BLURB: Best mates Liam and Rory have an accidental drunken sexual encounter, spurred on by the usually straight Rory's powerful attraction to his equally straight friend. Afterwards, Liam freaks out, and Rory's worried he'll lose not only his roommate, but also his best friend. But when Rory brings home his sexy and eager submissive, Susie, and proposes a menage, the men just may have found a way to repair the rift, but only if Liam can overcome his conservative upbringing and trust his natural instinct to Dominate.

Crow Magic Review & Contest


Crow Magic received a 4-STAR review



"This was a far different installment to the 1Night Stand series that I am familiar with, and will certainly appeal to some readers far more than the more formulaic story arc that is more traditional in the series.  Mary Quast has created a short erotic story that nearly screams for a full length story, but that is due to the lovely characterization,  the volumes of information and the strong spiritual journey that the reader follows with Lucy as she meets and enjoys her one night with Tecumseh"

Review for Handcuffs & Silk

Kindle Edition. June 28, 2011
Review By Robert Henderson, Nevada
Sex Marks The G-Spot



It "handcuffed" my interest!

I bought Handcuffs & Silk when I saw it was about a Las Vegas police officer. Being a Las Vegas local, I was extremely curious about how the story would play out. There is less Las Vegas in the story than I had thought there would be, but that didn't make the story any less interesting. As the story moved from the heroine surveying the Las Vegas Strip to a meeting with a potential "one night stand" the story kept my interest. Things flowed smoothly in the story, and the humorous parts, such as the heroine saying the line "Anything you say can and will be used against you for my pleasure" as she handcuffed the hero to a headboard really gave me a laugh.

Author Mary Quast did a fantastic job with the erotic parts of the story. Being more about the characters than about the location, the story could have been set in Hollywood, Tulsa, or even Nome, Alaska. However I didn't find myself disappointed with not being led around Las Vegas. I read the entire story in one sitting, not wanting to put it down. The author set the mood well, and gave enough personality to each character to keep me interested, and want to know what happened to them. I do think this story had the potential to evolve into a full blown novel.

This story is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys erotic stories. It has a great ending, and definitely deserves the 5 star rating I'm giving it! Well worth the price, and a great addition to my Kindle collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars
