Daughter of Darkness

By V.C. Andrews|
On Sale 10/26/10
ISBN:
9781439155011
Price: $7.99 ($9.99 CAN)

When I was a little girl, Daddy told me never to fear the dark. "We exist because of the darkness," he told me. "All of you are daughters of darkness."

Beloved bestselling author V.C. Andrews's passion for vampires comes to spellbinding life in a long-awaited novel of dark desires as all-consuming—and forbidden—as in Flowers in the Attic. One night, with the sound of a young man's scream, high school senior Lorelei discovers that her stern but loving father, who adopted Lorelei and her sisters as infants, is no ordinary man. He has raised his beautiful girls for one purpose: to lure young men into their world of shadows. Like her sisters, Lorelei has been trained in the art of seduction and warned never to fall in love. But when she meets a handsome and charming classmate, she boldly defies her family and follows her heart—even if love is a poison. . . .

Dangerously enticing and deliriously intoxicating, V.C. Andrews's Daughter of Darkness will leave readers thirsting for more.

Most people play by the rules. Gavin and Liz aren’t most people…

Win at any cost. That’s always been the mantra of sports agent Liz Darnell. When she carries things too far and risks losing her number-one client, baseball pro Gavin Riley, Liz realizes that she’ll have to work extra innings to win him back. It might not be too much of a stretch. She’s had a thing for this player’s moves since she first laid on eyes on him, and by the looks of it, he wants her just as bad.

Gavin’s more than ready—especially when Liz is offering herself as part of the bargain. And as much of her as Gavin wants. For added thrills, he decides to throw a little curve ball Liz’s way to see just how far she’s truly willing to go to keep him as a client. But when love unexpectedly enters the playing field, neither Liz nor Gavin are ready for the biggest game-changer of them all.

Review: Lancelot's Lady by Cherish D'Angelo

LANCELOT'S LADY
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 27, 2010
A Bahamas holiday from dying billionaire JT Lance, a man with a dark secret, leads palliative nurse Rhianna McLeod to Jonathan, a man with his own troubled past, and Rhianna finds herself drawn to the handsome recluse, while unbeknownst to her, someone with a horrific plan is hunting her down.


I have received this book from the author for an honest review. So the thoughts are solely mine and mine alone.

This is an amazing journey of three people who by the events from their past - all came together under one roof... at some point in time. Ms. D'Angelo did an awesome job at keeping me guessing as to how they were all tied together. I applaud her for being very cunning in her writing skills. But another reason I applaud her - is for her ability to make me fall in love with almost each and every character. Each one brought something unique to them to the table.

Rhianna's parents were killed in a hit and run the night she was born. Or you could say that the accident causes Rhianna's birth. Losing both parents puts Rhianna in the care of others right from the start of her life. First it is her aunt and uncle. Then as twisted as fate could get... they were involved in an accident as well... That left Rhianna in foster care. Even that was okay until.... she was placed with Mr. and Mrs. Waverley. That is when her own private hell started. Once you read and find out for yourself what happened, you will understand why it was hell and why she ran away. Now a beautiful, grown woman, Rhianna leaves everything behind in Maine to take a job being offered to her in Miami, Florida. She works as a palliative nurse.

JT is dying. He knows he was a bastard in his younger days. He is trying to right the wrongs while he still has time. But with the lapse of memory loss every now and then, it makes it kinda hard. Even though we learn of some really rotten things JT did in the past, you will see a fragile, hurting old man when you see the way Rhianna looks at him. And your heart will go out to him. Like Rhianna - when you first meet JT you will be kinda smitten with the old man, as you would your father or grandfather. He literally tracked Rhianna down to be his private nurse. Money could buy him a whole hospital full of help - but for some reason, he wants Rhianna. Once allowed into his home and his heart - Rhianna feels at home, at peace.. safe and loved. JT becomes more than her patient.... But will JT's past destroy Rhianna's peace? Will the secrets he holds crush not only the hopes and dreams of others - but family and love?

Jonathan likes - no scratch that... he LOVES his privacy. He has closed himself and his daughter, Misty, off on his own private island. Yeah, you heard me right... His.Own.Private.Island. (Where do I sign up to be his wife?) Misty is Jonathan's whole world - well except for his painting. Which has proved to be a very successful source of income. Misty's mother on the other hand... Jonathan's ex-wife is no longer in the picture. If I told you their story - you would want to find her and beat the crap out of her. Really! Let's just say that she left them for bigger and better things - in her opinion. So, she gave Jonathan full custody of Misty.

Now normally I don't do stories with children in them because for me that just deals to close to home. But Ms. D'Angelo did an excellent job of warming my heart and soul up for Misty. Misty is not like most seven year old girls ~ she has a condition. And we know just how much a handful a normal little girl can be... now imagine if teachers gave up on trying to teach or help, if they said she was difficult, stubborn and/or temperamental. Yeah, I would not have the best disposition either if that was the case. But once she meets Rhianna... things kinda go a different way.

We actually have four people who are either looking for love, closure, hope, faith, forgiveness and/or understanding. The internal struggles are rough to witness because they are so raw, powerful and just plain real. This truly is a romantic story with a lot of heartache. This story even comes with its own Knight in Shining.... well.. a boat okay! Yeah, I will make you read this one. Oh wait, before I am done - I will tell you this ride is not all pleasant - nope. There are parts of this book that left me with the chills cuz it was just that bad... yeah.

Wanna know more... I thought so.... Hee hee, yeah I am evil like that! But trust me, you will not be disappointed with this story!!!!

Guest Post with Ms. Cherish D'Angelo

I am so excited to bring to you today a wonderful author..... Ladies and Gents of the Lair, please raise your glass to.... Ms. Cherish D'Angelo. Today I hand my blog over to her... So, please make her feel very welcome today! Now... get comfy and let's see what Ms. D'Angelo has to day!


Why Men Should Read Lancelot's Lady

Thank you so much for hosting me during my Cherish the Romance Virtual Book Tour, which launches my contemporary romantic suspense, Lancelot's Lady, a novel I think men should read too.

Over the years, I've met a man or two who have admitted to reading romance novels, though most had no idea the books they'd read were classified in that genre. Most will tell you they read it for the suspense, but hey, men like a good sex scene too. I doubt they're skimming over those scenes to get to the gun fight.

Many men stay far away from the romance genre, thinking it's only for women. It isn't. Really. Men can read it too. Real men eat quiche and real men can read romance, especially romantic suspense.

Okay, so yes there is a love story, but even men need love in their lives and they can use a dose of romance every now and then. Perhaps if they read more romance novels, they'd understand us women better. Or not.

Romantic suspense isn't just about love and sex. There's a strong mystery element, which often begins with a crime or something threatening. There is a mix of tension, danger and sensuality, just like many novels not found on the romance shelf.

Lancelot's Lady has everything that male readers generally like: adventure, mystery, crime, a nasty bad guy, a beautiful woman, humor, tension, guns, and a chase scene that will leave them soaked. Above all, it has a good story with memorable characters. At least that's what fans of Lancelot's Lady have told me.

So, ladies, buy your man a copy of Lancelot's Lady for his ereader. Don't even mention "romance". Just tell him there's a sleazy private investigator that has his eye on a beautiful woman. Oh, and there are guns.


Lancelot's Lady ~ A Bahamas holiday from dying billionaire JT Lance, a man with a dark secret, leads palliative nurse Rhianna McLeod to Jonathan, a man with his own troubled past, and Rhianna finds herself drawn to the handsome recluse, while unbeknownst to her, someone with a horrific plan is hunting her down.

Lancelot's Lady is available in ebook edition at KoboBooks, Amazon's Kindle Store, Smashwords and other ebook retailers. Help me celebrate by picking up a copy today and "Cherish the romance..."

Review: Coming Clean (Dirty Laundry Series, Book 3) by Inez Kelly (Dark Divas)

Coming Clean (Dirty Laundry Series, Book 3) by Inez Kelly
Publisher: Carina Press
Genre: Erotica, Menage, Contemporary



Review Copy Received from Publisher

Summary: Coming clean never felt so good...

Grant and Vivi Michaelson share everything in their marriage: love, commitment—and their wildest sexual desires. But their relationship is tested when Vivi admits she wants a threesome with Grant's old friend Cade, proposing their annual trip to the lake as the perfect opportunity to fulfill her fantasy.

All three of them are aroused by the idea. Vivi and Cade have long felt a smoldering attraction to each other...and Grant and Cade have hidden an illicit desire for decades. Going through with the ménage will test their boundaries, reveal old secrets...and maybe tear them apart. After all, there might be room for Cade in bed, but is there room for a third in their marriage?

Madame Cecile Hussy's Review:

This is a very powerful little story. The title actually ties into the book ~ which is really cool. Due to the fact that this book is all about coming clean... one way or another!

We meet husband and wife, Grant and Vivian. They have absolutely everything they could possibly want in their marriage. Even after all the years, their love is as strong as the first day they met. Or should I say the first day Cade - Grant's best friend - introduced them. They are completely devoted to each other. They complete each other. Their sex life is not lacking at all - they are a dynamic couple. Do you sense a but.... no I promise... really. One of the things about this couple I love is that they live to make each other one's dreams/fantasies come true. Wouldn't you want to make your partners dreams come true if you could? If it was within your power, would you deny your mate their dreams? Or reverse the tables... wouldn't you love if your spouse/partner did their damnest to make your dreams come true?

Cade and Grant have been best friends since childhood. They have gone through everything together. Childhood growing pains, teenage years, first encounters of all kinds, hook-ups and break-ups, marriage and divorce (Cade) - everything. They are the epitome of what true best friends are. Cade is not jealous in the least of what Grant and Vivian share. He just wishes he could have a piece of it. I think anyone within their proximity would want what they have. Cade loves both them in their own way, they mean the world to him. They are family... but how much can Cade truly become a part of the family? Is that even possible?

Cade is bi but that does not get in his relationship with either Grant or Vivian. He came clean with his best friend way back in the day. It is a part of who Cade is and Grant would not change a thing about him. Grant accepted that part of Cade a long time ago. But there are things that happened in the past that Grant kinda shoved on a shelf way back in the closet of his heart. He kinda forgot about that shelf until Vivian approaches Grant about a fantasy she has been having....

Vivian never had a problem with Cade being bi; she has always thought Cade to be very sexy. Cade is her fallen angel and Grant is her dark angel. They are complete opposites, but isn't the saying that opposites attract? Vivan has often voiced her fantasies to Grant and he has tried his hardest to make them all come true.... but the latest fantasy she has.... really throws Grant for a loop.... A threesome... with a guy.

We all know that a threesome for a man normally means two women with one man. Every man fantasy. Right?? Well, Grant and Vivian already did that fantasy, so Grant knows the other party is not going to be a woman. What man could Vivian want, Grant wonders. He does not have to wonder long.... Cade.

Friendships will be pushes, boundaries will be crosses (good or bad, I can't tell you), hearts will open but will love grow? How much will these three come clean with each other? You may never do clothes the same way after reading this story! But I must warn you... the smexing... OMG... is off the charts! The shower scene.... is freaking HAWT!!!!! You may have to actually do your own laundry after you read this little triangle of a story! This is an awesome story of the journey of three friends growing together, accepting each other as they are, stripping things bare and raw and seeing where the pieces fall. Can love truly happen three ways??
