Passion Creek { My Review}

 


Passion Creek by Avery Flynn
Uptight history professor Sam Layton may have the abs of a movie action hero, but he stopped believing in the joy of adventure a long time ago. However, when a one-night stand with a tattooed bombshell leads to a treasure map for the long-buried Rebecca’s Bounty, the call to action is too strong to ignore. All Las Vegas cocktail waitress Josie Winarsky wants to do is paint. But when she lands smack dab in the middle in a mob plot, she has to push aside her dreams to find a treasure in Dry Creek, Nebraska and save her family from harm. With Sam at her side and a Vegas loan shark on her tail, the treasure she finds turn out to be much more valuable than emeralds and rubies.
*This book is intended for Adults 18+ *

 My Review  :
Just to get this out of the way- this book is for mature readers as there are some steamy sex scenes..
This was a pretty good book!  I'm going to give it 4 out of 5 stars only because it took me a little while to get into it.  Once I did though, I was hooked!  Passion Creek is a great adventure/love story.   Josie is working her last shift in Vegas when one of her best customers gives her an old diary which includes a map to Rebecca's Bounty.  She also meets Sam and has a 1night stand with him only to find out that he's one of Rebecca's descendants..  Naturally he find out that she has the diary/map and immediately thinks the worst of her (typical man! argh) sure that she is using him to find the treasure.   Throw a mob wannabe into the mix and things are pretty interesting!!  Passion, chase scenes- this book has tons of excitement!!  I recommend you check it out and enjoy the thrill for yourself!!   Also, don't forget to enter the giveaway below and be sure to follow the rest of the tour for more reviews and some great excerpts!!

Crimson Groves {My Review}

Crimson Groves by Ashley Robertson

Abigail Tate was a normal human girl. Until the day Bronx the vampire barges into her life and turns her against her will. Held captive while forced to deal with never ending cravings for blood, Abby prays for a way to escape. Only when an opportunity arises, it's with the aid of an innocent human named Tyler--except vampires are forbidden to interact with the unbitten. But Abby quickly learns this human has secrets of his own...secrets that can either help her or get her killed. Only Abby discovers that she was the one with the biggest secret of them all.   **June 2012 Extras added to the e-book version only (including the first chapter of the sequel Crimson Flames (book #2 of The Crimson Series)
Purchase Kindle / Paperback

My Review :

This is not your normal vampire book. At least not the ones that I've read lately.  Abby is turned vampire against her will and then held captive with no hope of escape. When she suddenly gets the unexpected chance to escape, she is on the run with a human named Tyler who has plenty of his own secrets.  I thought it started a bit slow with Abby being whiney over a past relationship (dirtbag boyfriend + ex-BFF = not happy Abby) but quite honestly I'd be the same way.. lol!  Once the book got going I had a hard time putting it down!  It's nice to loathe the main vampire for once !! I really enjoyed reading about being a newbie vampire from Abby's perspective.  With Tyler's secrets, Abby's dad popping up after years of being gone, meeting Stone (loving him!) and the truth behind why Abby was turned vamp- it's a ride down a long curving road. Lots of twists and turns to keep you alert!

Bride of Fae - Promo Blast !

Bride of Fae (Tethers, Book 2)

A love more powerful than magic or time. Beverly Bratton has a safe, mundane life. No drama. No magic. Since her parents died, she's cared for her little sister Marion and worked at the Tragic Fall Inn. When a fairy's charm sends Beverly a hundred years into the past-and into the path of a banished fairy prince-nothing will ever be mundane or safe again. The regent of the Dumnos fae is turning the court from light to dark, and there's nothing the rightful king, Prince Dandelion, can do about it. The mystical coronation cup which he needs to become king has fallen into human hands. When he meets a human woman with access to the cup, everything changes. Beverly is fascinating as well as useful-but of course Dandelion doesn't love her. Love for a fairy is rare. Love with a human, impossible. But when Beverly and Dandelion are thrown together in a battle against both wyrd and fae, they learn that in Dumnos the impossible happens every day
