Cursed by Cupid by Wendy Sparrow @WendySparrow
date for Valentine’s Day!
A very different mc book. I liked the author’s approach to their day to day lives. Granted there is not really any glamour to this type of book, but what do you need glam for when you have The Kitty Kat as a backdrop? I felt equal amounts of hate, love, lust, sadness and lies. If you like semi-dark books then you will love this one!
As for the meat and potato part I will say that Chipper is one of my favorites. He is sweet, took Jenna aka Ice in, loves his wife, and most of all he is a loyal Renegade. So when the book starts out we are thrown into a scene that was tough. It sets the tone for Timmons. He has held Jenna a virtual prisoner since her Daddy lost her in payment for a debt. Her Dad Brew is awful. All this is explored while we learn to like the Renegades.
What I liked about the book was the roughness. I felt in comparison to some others this one was dark, but in the right way. When discussing the club and their activities of course drugs were involved, but that aspect was not overpowering. I dont like it when prostitution and drugs seem glamorous. I know it aint reality but I dont want to glamorize a lifestyle.

Police officer Jenna O’Connor, one word WOW She is just too awesome. After having issues growing up keeping quiet she now gets her dream job on the SWAT team. Then she meets Adam. So Adam …hhmm…is just oozing alpha male, take charge, sex appeal. It is the authors explanations and the mannerisms given to Adam that appeal to me. I love a strong character that is strong without trying too hard. Sometimes it seems he is better at being a protector than anything else. Determined to break free and live her own life is the Jenna appeal for me. I liked that she was finally coming out of her shell so to speak. Particularly the way she was raised was something new to me. She is just a character I find hard to completely explain, but I loved her!
When the book takes the biggest turn showing a group of violent shifters is when it become a real page turner. I read fast and if I am kept awake it is a good book.
What I loved was: The way the characters are written, their dialogues and the action. There is a descriptive way the authors write that I want to say even when serious made me smile a few times.
Lastly, the style of romance added with the action made it a must read series! I so want to gobble up the next book! This one was a real honest full length book that is hard to put down. The build up was timed perfectly! The author added just the right amount of angst for me.
Jessie Lane is the writing team of Melissa Pahl and Crystal Leo. The two sisters-in-law share a passionate love of naughty romance, cliff hanging suspense, and out-of-this-world characters that demand your attention, or threaten to slap you around until you do pay attention to them. Because really, it is ALL about the characters. (They’re kind of megalomaniacs – but don’t tell them that we said that.)
Their first YA novel, The Burning Star, was released in May 2012. Big Bad Bite is their second novel, but their first adult paranormal romance, and was released in January 2013. Their third book, Secret Maneuvers, will release in June 2013, and will be the start of a new adult contemporary romance series (Ex Ops Series). They are now working on their next two novels, Walk On The Striped Side (Big Bad Bite Series #2) and The Frozen Star (YA Star Series #2).
With these projects underway, they are looking forward to showing the rest of the world their crazy stories, heroes and heroines that often plague their minds until written, and hope you will join them on their journey!

Title: Cassie’s Choice
Series: – League of Love, book 7
Author: Donna Gallagher
Publication Date: 24th January 2014
Published by: Totally Bound Publishing
Genre: Contemporary Erotic
Book Synopsis:
One night of regret and a simple lack of communication lead to two miserable years apart. What will happen when the two broken-hearted are forced to reunite?
One night has haunted Cassie for over two years. After agreeing to something she didn’t feel sure about, all for the sake of a man—or more correctly, her fear of losing him, she is still consumed with thoughts of her past.
Although a few years younger than her Riley Walters was all man, in and out of the bedroom. So much so that Cassie believed he would tire of her sexual inexperience quickly. For him she was just a bit of fun—he never said anything to her to make her doubt that assumption. The reason she put herself in such an uncomfortable situation in the first place – to keep him happy. Of course it didn’t help. Riley disappeared from her life and never had anything to do with her again. Now he’s back, part of her social circle, leaving Cassie to find a way to deal with the attraction she still feels for him even after two years of trying to convince herself otherwise.
Riley was horrified at how much rage he felt that night. Memories of a trauma from childhood quickly surfaced – He was terrified that he was becoming a monster, just like the man from his memory. Cassandra Davies filled his mind, his every thought, his obsession. Now he’s been offered a position at the Jets Rugby League Club, and an opportunity to work alongside the people he called family, which is something he’d always dreamed of—but how will he survive being around Cassie if he can’t drag her into his arms and back to his bed and never let her leave.

Author Bio:
Sydney-born Donna Gallagher decided at an early age that life needed be tackled head on. Leaving home at fifteen, she supported herself through her teen years. In her twenties she married a professional sportsman, her love of sport—especially rugby league—probably overriding her good sense.
The seven—year marriage was an adventure. There were the emotional ups and downs of having a husband with a public profile in a sometimes glamorous but always high—pressure field. There were always interesting characters to meet and observe, and even the opportunity to live for a time in the UK.
Eventually Donna returned home a single woman, but she never lost her passion for watching sport, as well as the people in and around it.
Now happily re-married and with three sons, Donna loves coffee mornings with her female friends, sorting through problems from the personal to the international. But she’s on even footing with the keenest man when it comes to watching and talking rugby league.
Donna considers herself something of a black sheep in a family of high achievers. Her brother has a doctorate in mathematics and her sister is a well—known Australian sports journalist.
An avid reader, especially of romance, Donna finally found she couldn’t stop the characters residing in her imagination from spilling onto paper. Naturally, rugby league is the backdrop to her spicy tales of hunky heroes and spunky heroines overcoming adversity to eventually find true love.

The weirdness continues….
Thanks to a magical transplant from an inter-dimensional enforcer, Hailey Parrish can transform into a hawk. When someone begins dismembering hikers along the Appalachian Trail, the enforcers make use of her feathery talents to pursue the killer. Unfortunately, like most things in Hailey’s life, there is nothing ordinary about the assignment. Their target turns out to be maddeningly elusive, they rescue a stray dog that makes a sewage treatment plant seem pleasantly fragrant, and stopping the murders turns out to be the least of their worries.
Special Attraction, the third book in the Coursodon Dimension series, combines paranormal romance, urban fantasy, a bit of science fiction and a healthy dose of quirky humor.
Do you have a celeb in mind for Hailey? Mila Kunis
Alex ? Alexander Skarsgard
Sebastian? John Stamos
Any idea how many books in the series?
At least 6. I know everyone will be asking when the next one is coming out. Hard to say. I have a day job that limits my writing time to nights and weekends, but I hope to have the next one done in about eight months.
Do you ever think you would want a power?
If so what kind? Super-human strength would be nice.

M.L. Ryan is a professional woman – which is not to say that she gave up her amateur status, but rather that she is over-educated with a job that reflects her one-time reluctance to leave school and get “real” work – and she spends a lot of time in that profession reading highly technical material.
She has many stories rolling around in her head, and she finally decided to write some of them. She prefers literature that isn’t saddled with excruciating symbolism, ponderous dialogue or worldly implications. She also doesn’t like plots so reliant on love at first sight that it makes her feel like her head might implode.
She lives in Tucson, Arizona with her husband and teenage son, four cats, two dogs and an adopted desert tortoise.
