Because he has a secret gift, too, and it’s about to be let loose. Buying Trouble by Karen Chance. In a New York auction house, a Lord of the Fey crosses paths with a fiery redheaded mage named Claire. But in this strange underground society, the rarity up for sale is Claire herself. Mona Lisa Betwining by Sunny. Among the children of the moon, Mona Lisa is of Mixed Blood – part Monere, part human, and destined to be alone. Then she meets a man who could be her salvation – or her downfall…

This is an anthology that mixes four great authors. Now I have written on two of the stories in here, the story by Patricia Briggs and the by Sunny. I felt I should also touch on the other two stories here in as they are also very good reads. Eileen Wilks is about people finding out secrets about one another. While the Karen Chance story is about buying rarities. The whole book is a gem. I have read the whole book several times as I really like it. This is a short story that is very nice in describing what is happening with Mona Lisa as she is beginning to see that she is changed.

Back Cover: When the darkness holds the most tantalizing of possibilities, what goes bump in the night may be the man of your dreams…Everything is possible and nothing is as it seems in four enchanting tales brimming with romance, passion, and a touch of wonder. From a marriage of convenience between a psychic archeologist and her bodyguard in a galaxy far, far away to ancient Britain and a dashing knight wounded in the service of King Arthur, from a house haunted by two mischievous ghosts to a woman torn between her fiance and a seductive djinn, you'll be bewitched, beguiled, and bedazzled as four of today's most popular authors cast their most potent love spells…

Now I did write about the first story in this anthology Bridal Jitters, the others in this book are just as good. Man in the Mirror takes us to the time of King Arthur’s court and back. While Tangled Dreams mixes in ghosts and two new lovers. Pandora’s Bottle is about a brides choice. Even though they are short stories they are so well written and capture your attention right away. I found each one endearing. I really loved this book, as each story was so different.

Mortal Danger by Eileen Wilks

Genre: Paranormal Romance; Werewolves, Magic, Demons, Sensitives, Warlocks

Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Former homicide cop Lily Yu has a lot on her plate. There’s her sister’s wedding, a missing magical staff with unknown powers, and her grandmother’s sudden decision to visit the old country just when Lily could use a little advise. Maybe she should turn to the man she’s involved with, but for all the passion that flares between them, she doesn’t really know Rule Turner. Yet she’s tied to him for life, both of them caught in an unbreakable mate bond. That Rule is a werewolf, a prince of his people, only complicates matters… Now an agent in a special unit of the FBI’s Magical Crimes Division, Lily’s job is to hunt down Harlowe, a charismatic cult leader bent on bringing an ancient evil into the world. But what Lily doesn’t realize is that Harlowe has set a trap – for her. And then the unthinkable happens. In the blink of an eye, Lily’s world divides and collides, and she is thrust into a new and frightening reality her only hope will be to trust Rule – and herself – or Lily will be lost forever…

This is the second book in the World of the Lupi. And I think this is the first time that I like the second book even more then the first one. The whole plot twist where Lily is split into two was brilliant. The development of Rule and her relationship takes the story to a whole new level. I can’t get enough of this. I found the whole story quite nail bighting. I don’t want to say to much as I think everyone should read this since it’s so good. I can't wait to read the next book in this series, Blood Lines.

Tempting Danger by Eileen Wilks

 

Genre: Paranormal Romance; Werewolves, Magic, Demons, Sensitives, Warlocks

Sub Genre: Urban Fantsy

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Lily Yu is a San Diego police detective investigating a series of grisly murders that appear to be the work of a werewolf. To hunt down the killer, she must infiltrate the clans. Only one man can help her – a werewolf named Rule Turner, a prince of the lupi, whose charismatic presence disturbs Lily. Rule has his own reasons for helping the investigation – reasons he doesn’t want to share with Lily. Logic and honor demand she keep her distance, but the attraction between them is immediate and devastating – and beyond human reason. Now in a race to fend off evil, Lily finds herself in uncharted territory, tested as never before, and, at her back, a man she’s not sure she can trust…

This story is one that I found to be one of those page turners that you just can’t put down. So much is happening and you just can’t seem to get enough of it all. Lily is one of those great female characters that has a good head on her shoulders. Always trying to keep her magic ability away from everyone else as she doesn’t want to be used. So when she meets up with Rule she isn’t sure what to make of him as he seems like he is the main suspect in the murder she is investigating. Even though she believes that he is innocent her other detectives do not and start to think badly of her. But as they both start to rely on one another it brings them together. They both still have a lot to learn about one another and yet they are great together. I liked the whole dynamic of this story. I can’t wait to see where this is going in the next book, Mortal Danger.
