The worst moment of Micah’s life was when Ella nearly died in his arms. Her miraculous recovery should have been the start of their future. Unfortunately, a new demonic heritage, the Shadow Agency’s corruption and Julian, the vampire who turned Ella, are testing their relationship. Despite hotter-than-ever sex and a variety of new places and positions to explore, Micah begins to wonder if a relationship based on lust can survive for more than a few scorching-hot months.
Ella has forgiven, but not forgotten, the fact that Micah once plunged a dagger through her heart. Everything with Micah is passion, excitement and an uncontrollable desire to explore his body in a variety of very satisfying ways. But as buried secrets, ongoing lies and murderous deceptions pile up, Ella is reminded that she and Micah’s relationship was based on a curse. In order to forge a future together, Ella and Micah will have to face down their personal demons—and prove that love and trust are more than just words.

Excerpt (Rated R)
I popped the button on his pants and trailed my tongue over the curve of his jaw. “Does it matter? Julian can wait.”

Micah growled and spun me to the dresser, lifting to set me on top. He slapped a palm against the wall above my head, caging me in. Escape, although I didn't want it, would have been near impossible.

“Don’t even say his name. One day, I’m going to rip out his spinal cord.” The coarse golden hair dusting his jaw rasped against my cheek as he took my mouth in a kiss that sent us both spiraling.

The aggression lurking inside him coalesced. Demanding. Rough. He moved his hands over my body, exploring me as if we’d not already memorized every inch of each other earlier that day at the Vault. Mindless to anything except the male body in front of me, I was lost to all reason.
I threaded my fingers through his hair, holding him against me. I stroked my tongue against his, addicted to the taste of him. When I tilted my head to the side, our teeth clanked. Our embrace deepened as he dug his hands into the soft flesh at my hips and slid me close. He ground his body against mine and devoured me.

The demon lurking under the surface made me yearn for it to claim me. Never breaking the kiss, Micah moved the material covering my breast aside and cupped the tender weight. A sharp spike of need ran straight to my core. His hands were callused, the perfect texture moving across my sensitive nipple. The sudden need pulsing through me was going to tear me in half.

When he released my mouth, I gasped for breath. The sensations he caused had me clutching the corded muscles at his back. Featherlight, such a contrast to the frenzied need to mate surging between us, his lips moved across my cheek to my neck.

“I want your hair down.”

He tugged at a few things and within seconds, my painstakingly created up-do fell apart. He ran his hand through my curls. The gentle touch turned forceful. Forming a fist, he tugged, eliciting another needy moan when my head snapped to the side allowing the access he desired.
He nipped the scar on the side of my throat, the imprint of his teeth. I trembled from head to toe.

“Julian may get you tonight, but it’s me who you’ll smell like. My come inside your body. My marks on your flesh. I’ll make sure you remember the feel of my cock with every single step you take.”

Dark Cravings Blurb
Ella Grey's life sucks. A half-breed vampire, she does her best to pass the time killing demons and secretly admiring her Shadow Hunter partner, Micah. He's hot, dangerous and knows it. He'd be just Ella's type if he weren't likely to kill her the moment she put a toe out of line. 

A chance encounter with a succubus changes everything. From the second the succubus' spell washes over them, Ella and Micah are helpless to keep their hands off one another. The sex, when it's not leaving them on the verge of death, is earth shattering and for the first time in ages Ella is connected with someone on a level she'd feared lost forever. But a dangerous prophecy has been set into motion, and if Ella's not careful it'll pull her straight from Micah's arms and into the deepest bowels of the underworld.

Take by Ella Frank - Really how have you not one clicked this book already?

Take (Temptation, #2)Take by Ella Frank
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To be honest here – Try by Ella Frank was my first standalone in the m/m genre. I was hooked from page one. So to say I was patiently awaiting the next installment of Logan and Tate would be a total lie. I waiting, not so patiently and got up in the middle of the night to purchase this as soon as it went live. I was not disappointed.

This book is written so eloquently and touched on very real life experiences by both Tate and Logan. I found myself extremely emotional at some points in the story, so much so I had to put it down and walk away. Anger, tears, laughter – all of these are things that I felt as I read.

Almost like a standby character, because of her writing style, I felt the heat of the passion and feelings Tate and Logan carry for each other. Both are alpha males that have so much emotion for each other it overshadows the bad things that happened in the past. Opening up is equally difficult for each of them. When they finally do – it’s explosive, panty melting hot, emotional and raw.

Coming to terms with the demons they experienced in their past relationships, they depend on each other to be strong when they need it. Overcoming what happens to Tate almost tears them apart, but they prevail, making their relationship stronger. Bringing them closer than ever and fulfilling what each of them needs – unconditional love.

Not a cliffhanger, but a set-up for the 3rd book in this series, Ella ends on a great note. I cannot wait to see what she has in store for Tate, Logan and the whole crew. Characters you will fall in love with and want to have in your life.
I give this book 5 stars.

kat's synopsis
 John “Johnnie” Donovan is determined to make his relationship work with Kendall Miller, the attorney he met during his cousin’s birthday party. Before he can move on with his future, however, he still has loose ends to tie up from the past in the person of a rival MC’s president who is also Kendall’s ex-boyfriend. As Johnnie tries to balance his club life and personal life, another tragedy forces him to make a choice between the two. Will Johnnie be able to live with the choices he makes? Kendall Miller is trying to pick up the pieces of her life in the wake of her ex-boyfriend’s assault. She’s ready to move on with her life and the man of her dreams, the sexy VP of the Death Dwellers MC. She demands his complete attention and isn’t willing to share her man with all the baggage of the MC. She doesn’t want to be an afterthought to him nor does she want to live her life in the midst of the clubhouse, especially with the competition taking place between Kendall and the club president’s wife. Then, catastrophe strikes and Kendall’s life is once again altered. Can she and Johnnie have a future together or has their love been doomed from the beginning? EXCERPT: Instead of Megan or any other woman, Johnnie stepped in and leaned against the door. He’d been running his fingers through his hair a lot, so the blond strands lay all over his head. The sadness in his eyes made her heart twist and she stepped closer to him before gliding her fingers along his jawline. The stubble that had grown since he’d shaved this morning scraped against her fingertips. She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her nose against his neck, inhaling his scent. Smoke. Alcohol. The faintest hint of aftershave. Musk. And him. Johnnie. She planted kisses against his throat and up to his mouth. He groaned and pulled her closer, taking control of the kiss and dipping his tongue into her mouth. Heat pooled low in her belly, her pussy slickening in need. “I’m so glad you’re here with me, gorgeous,” he whispered, thumbing her nipples and thrusting his erection against her. Kendall melted at his words and smiled, pulling back to stare into his eyes, burning with a silver intensity that seemed to reach into her soul. But she wouldn’t tell him again that she loved him right now. He was dealing with too much. Besides, she wanted to know how deep his feelings went for her. She couldn’t face his rejection. “Come out with me?” he asked quietly. “I’m about to tell a hilarious story about K-P. Well, it’s more about us but K-P walked in at the end and—“ He rubbed the back of his neck and he shrugged before forcing a smile onto his lips. “I’d like you to be out there.” Unable to deny him as much as she wanted to ask they return to their room, Kendall nodded. His grin wasn’t as bleak. Grabbing her hand, he moved away from the door, opened it, and then guided her out. He went to the center of the floor and whistled to call attention to himself. “You’d never know just by looking at our ugly mugs how two little guys have woven their way into our hearts,” he began when the room fell silent. “I’m going to be a father, too, thanks to my old lady.” He nodded to Kendall and she blinked, heat rising to her cheeks, not expecting Johnnie to make such an announcement. Claps and catcalls reached Kendall, Johnnie’s loudest of all. She didn’t know how to feel about having so much attention focused on her and wished Johnnie would’ve discussed his intentions with her, so she could’ve been better prepared. Sliding into the seat she’d had earlier, she ignored the stares directed at her, balling her hands into fists to keep from screaming at everyone to focus elsewhere. Like on Johnnie, who was finally launching into the story he’d mentioned to her in the bathroom. Losing herself in the cadence of his voice, Kendall blocked out everyone else and focused on the anecdote.

My review of Let Love Live - Melissa Collins

Let Love Live (Love, #5)Let Love Live by Melissa Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I read this book as a standalone.

This is my first book from Ms. Collins. When Let Love Live started showing up on my Facebook feed, I knew I had to read it as soon as it was available.

The incredible emotions that Dylan feels about himself and his best friend have the reader on the edge of their seat. The support he gives to Shane and Reid in the beginning made the rest of the story so much deeper for me. I loved reading how unwavering Dylan was to their situation and how much he cared for both of them deeply.

This book is a travel though Dylan’s life before, during and after a horrible catastrophe happens. He retreats into himself and feels unworthy. Blocking everyone out of his life is the way he copes. Then Conner Michelson enters his life and everything changes.

Gritty, raw and emotionally satisfying, I LOVED this book. It was an incredible read. It really brought major life issues to the forefront and tackled them gently and effectively.

Sexy m/m sex scenes, a great story line and a terrific ending, has me giving this book 5 stars.

If you haven’t experienced Melissa Collins, I encourage you to do so. This is book 5 in her Love series. Come and enjoy her characters, writing and exceptional style. It was so worth the wait.
