Crescent Moon by Lori Handeland
 

My Review:

So while this says its book 4 in the series, it can be completely read as a stand-alone. I had no trouble at all reading it.
This was an enjoyable read but it did start out slow for me. And then in a few other parts of the book I was confused at times. But overall I did like it.
It was full of mystery and some suspense. I loved getting more history on New Orleans. I've always had a fascination with the place.
 I really liked Diana. She made me laugh with some of her musings. I like that she is a strong female and wasn't afraid to get a little dirty.
I have mix feelings on Adam. While I did grow to like him, he was very hard to connect with at first. He's a huge mystery. He's a very closed off person and very mysterious.
This was the first book in the series I've read but I definitely want to read more.


Forever Free by Laura Kaye

Sins of the Flesh by Caridad Pineiro

My Reviw:
This one was a really fast and exciting read. Full of action and suspense with some romance thrown in.
I really liked both of the characters in this. Caterina "Cat" was an extremely strong woman for all that she's been through. Even now after basically becoming a science experiment and accused of murder she still fights and is trying to hold it all together.
Mick is a very selfless person too. He loves his family dearly and would do anything for them. He try's to be this big hard warrior guy but he really does have a heart and I liked seeing the man beneath the warrior image. Even with him possibly believing that Cat may have murdered someone he still can see the good in her and care about her.
This was a great start to the series. It had a great build up for their relationship. I look forward to seeing the next book and having more of the issues from this one resolved. It didn't end on a cliff-hanger but it left a lot unanswered for the next book.

Opal Carew

Hi. I'm Opal Carew, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. I write erotic romance for St. Martin's Press and Samhain Publishing, and I self-publish stories. I also write romance as Amber Carew.
So why do I like writing erotic romance? I like being able to push beyond traditional boundaries. I like dealing with a female character who is growing and evolving - questioning her sexual boundaries and pushing past them. My stories usually include menage a trois. It is great fun to write a heroine choosing between two equally appealing heroes... or more.
These aren't women who just jump into bed with anyone. They find themselves in an unusual situation - something exciting and erotic - but a situation where they have to push themselves beyond their comfort level. As a result, they grow as a person. So often fear holds us back - of what others will think of us, of what we will think about ourselves - and we don't follow our hearts. These women push past that fear.

Terry Spear

USA TODAY bestselling, and award-winning author and creator of award-winning teddy bears who have found homes all over the world including Australia, Switzerland, China, and Russia, and a retired officer of the US Army Reserves, I love to plant trees and flowers and if I could, I'd turn all the deserts green. Time travels are my favorite read, although I love to read most anything, and the Bourne series, Romancing the Stone, Sixth Sense, Legend, The Princess Bride, Stardust, Inkheart, LOTR, and tons of other movies are my favorites.
I love to research, to make urban fantasy worlds real, to bring a little of the paranormal into our world. Even in "Winning the Highlander's Heart" the heroine feels she is cursed and she has second sight. But I try to do it in a way that feels real, and not fantasized. :) Currently, I'm working on book 2 of the new jaguar shifter series, but still am working on wolf book number 12 and 13! So more hunky wolves to come! A SEAL in Wolf's Clothing has just released.

    1. Most of the books are in print separately. I haven't been feeling too well to read all of them but I plan on reading the rest. The 2 I did manage to review are ones that I own in print. My nook was acting up so I had to grab my copies.
