I like Nixie - well, I actually like Hughes's writing style in this particular book, go figure. I am the first one to scream there's not much art in smut, but this one proves me wrong. I freely admit it may just be the absolute quirkiness of the character and the over-the-top storytelling that ma...
This book was completely hysterical. Was it high literature? No. Did it have much of a storyline? No. But did I just about wee myself laughing at the sheer improbability of it all? You betcha - and that's why it gets 4 stars for what is essentially vampire porn.I got the book for free (cour...
OK I really hate books that start with a missunderstanding or some character assumes something and the plots goes from there. I got 24% into the book and was total turned off when the main character started plotting with the 'ememy' because of her misguided logic. I stopped and didn't read any ...
But I wasn’t going to get any calmer, not with the implications of that internal war flooding me, burning me. I ran to the front hallway and threw open the door to see…nothing. No people, no beer.

Then, the moment the EMTs stabilized her and announced her pulse and blood pressure were strong, Bo hypnotized them into w...
The hush of expectancy settled heavily on Emma’s shoulders. Enjoy your “rest”. Linda might as well have winked and added, “If you know what I mean.” She had the right idea, Emma’s wolf yipped. Time to get pregnant. But Emma s...
He wanted to come with me, but by then, the sun was rising and those scorch marks had scared me, so I told him I didn’t want him along. We argued some more. I didn’t come right out and say I knew he was a vampire, but by the time I simply took the money and ran out the doo...
motion. Four more black-jacketed guys bled from the darkness. The first goon snapped out a pair of wicked blades. Adrenaline hit my system, giving me a kick in the diaphragm. I sawed a few breaths, brain going hot. Luke was t...
She only managed ten or so inches, but it was enough to uncover Noah’s hand and a whole lot of her private skin. He let out a low rough howl. Dropped to his knees. Grabbed her hips in both hands, tilted her back, and pressed a kiss to her sex. His m...
But until her identity was revealed at midnight, the Queen of Hearts had to remain masked, so Zoe had a discreet word with the orchestra director. As she was finishing her instructions, her wolf growled. She spun. Headed straight for her, face bruta...
