REVIEW - Sweet Thursday & Book Give Away!

In high school, Lily was too shy to do anything about her feelings for her best friends, Justin and Killian. Now she’s ready to put to rest her regrets with a proposal that might shock even her oversexed friends—the three of them, together, one night, multiple positions.

K and J are more than a little surprised to see Lily at their ten-year reunion. The plain Jane they remember is now a stunning woman—who wants to have sex with both of them. Who are they to deny her? Even if Killian suspects they might be treading on dangerous emotional territory.

The night stretches into the weekend and, as K suspected, none of them want it to end. But he and Lily know people live in pairs, not trios, and they call a halt now, before it’s too late.

Justin, however, knows a good thing when he sees it. He’s ready to fight for what he wants…what they all need. He just has to convince Lilly and Killian that unconventional can also be extraordinary.

Ahhhh Sweet Thursday!  Fourth in the Wild Irish series by Mari Carr, Sweet Thursday is the much anticipated story of Killian Collins (hawt and tempting twin to the wicked Tristan).  I'm not quite sure what to say about this book at present.  I mean don't get me wrong, it was a great read....but it did end a bit abruptly for me.  I had this whole long idea in my head and it spanned a bit more time than the actual book did.

Here I was, eagerly anticipating some hot guy-guy action and pfffttt...nothing.  But what smexen menage action!  *pants and reaches for more water* Talk about steamy! I think my knickers even fainted once or twice and let me tell you girls...I NEVER knew that a recliner could be used in such a way. 

I don't even know what else to say other than, the only disappointment I felt was in the ending...I would have enjoyed having an epilogue just to see how they're coping with the living arrangements. But I suspect that we'll see more of them in the next books. (hint hint Mari!)

Overall...a very smexen and satisfying 4 out of 5 stars.  As I've said before, if you haven't read this series, you truly do not know what you're missing and I demand that you add ALL of Mari's works to your TBR piles.

REVIEW - Lover Mine

In the darkest corners of the night in Caldwell, New York, a conflict like no other rages. Long divided as a terrifying battleground for the vampires and their enemies, the city is home to a band of brothers born to defend their race: the warrior vampires of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Oh I'm sooooo catching shit for this one!  


John Matthew has come a long way since he was found living among humans, his vampire nature unknown to himself and to those around him. After he was taken in by the Brotherhood, no one could guess what his true history was- or his true identity. Indeed, the fallen Brother Darius has returned, but with a different face and a very different destiny. As a vicious personal vendetta takes John into the heart of the war, he will need to call up on both who he is now and who he once was in order to face off against evil incarnate.

Xhex, a symphath assassin, has long steeled herself against the attraction between her and John Matthew. Having already lost one lover to madness, she will not allow the male of worth to fall prey to the darkness of her twisted life. When fate intervenes, however, the two discover that love, like destiny, is inevitable between soul mates.

Now, while I did title this as a review this is more my honest feelings towards Lover Mine and the BDB in general.


ATTENTION:  POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD FOR LOVER MINE.  stop now if you don't have the ballz to proceed.




Okay girls, now you know I love you but I have to say, I've read Lover Mine...and while I really enjoyed it overall...there were some parts that annoyed the shit outta me.  *ducks flying heels* Oi! Bear that's just not nice!  wench thinks she's getting these babies back she's got another thing coming


Lash for instance...he so could not have been more effing lame! And yes even some of the Darius parts annoyed me and I sped through them.  I liked seeing more of Payne, but when the first scene with her came in, I was all WTF...where did this shit come from? And don't even effing get me started on that ghost shit.  It really just jumped back and forth so much for me that I had to go back and re-read parts to make sure I hadn't missed a transition somewhere. 


I know all the BDB books are like this, but really? REALLY? Come on J.R. Ward! Just where the fork was your mind when you wrote some of this? hell pass me some of those drugs! 

Okay...now before Bear and Jay go all psycho on me I'll squee for a bit.

Xhex and JM - OMG!!!  How frigging HAWT are those two!?!?  The heat between those two burned my knickers right off!  I found myself looking forward to their scenes more than anything and had to hold myself back from skipping ahead to get more.

Qhuay - I will totally agree with Bear here and say that I am totally Team Qhuay all the way!  Those two made me cry!  I wanted to beat the hell out of Qhuinn several times for being such an idiot and the same goes for Blay for being so quiet about his feelings!  On another low point, I have to say that Q standing outside the door while B lost his "virginity" really pissed me off.  I mean come on Ward!  We want man love and we want it NOW!!! 

Okay...gushing and rant aside...I'm honestly overall disappointed with Lover Mine.  I don't feel that it was worth my $25.  That money could have gone to buying me those smexen heels that I've been eyeing! 

I'd have to give LM a disappointing 3 out of 5 smexen stars and the only reason it gets that much is because of John Matthew and Xhex. 

Bottom Line?  Wait for the paperback release or borrow it from your local library.

Hugs and love,

Tassi
