"Winterblaze" by Kristen Callihan



Started April 1, 2013 - Ended April 11, 2013

Remember when I said I would read this book if I remembered? Well I did. Yay! That's the good news. The bad news? I got a little in over my head with a home project and didn't get to properly enjoy it.

I turned this:

Into this:

From Amazon: Once blissfully in love . . .
Poppy Lane is keeping secrets. Her powerful gift has earned her membership in the Society for the Suppression of Supernaturals, but she must keep both her ability and her alliance with the Society from her husband, Winston. Yet when Winston is brutally attacked by a werewolf, Poppy's secrets are revealed, leaving Winston's trust in her as broken as his body. Now Poppy will do anything to win back his affections . . .

Their relationship is now put to the ultimate test.
Winston Lane soon regains his physical strength but his face and heart still bear the scars of the vicious attack. Drawn into the darkest depths of London, Winston must fight an evil demon that wants to take away the last hope of reconciliation with his wife. As a former police inspector, Winston has intelligence and logic on his side. But it will take the strength of Poppy's love for him to defeat the forces that threaten to tear them apart.


I'm sad because I don't feel like I gave this book my complete attention. Not only did I remodel a bedroom, I put my house is a state of upheaval reminiscent of a hurricane. In any case, "Winterblaze" suffered the consequences. So, to be fair my 'review' isn't going to be hardcore. I enjoyed it, but it was not my favorite of the series so far. I have a feeling it will be the next one that will be released about Jack Talent ... mmmmmmm. I give "Winterblaze" a B-.

Sorry, I've been doing a little of this...



And what started as a little project ...




Turned into a HUGE one ...



So I haven't had much time for reading.

"Moonglow" by Kristen Callihan - Romance






Started January 27, 2013 - Ended January 31, 2013


I feel like it took me forever to finish this one. BUT that's because we took the kiddos on a mini vacation to celebrate their birthdays.


From Amazon:Once the seeds of desire are sown . . .


Finally free of her suffocating marriage, widow Daisy Ellis Craigmore is ready to embrace the pleasures of life that have long been denied her. Yet her new-found freedom is short lived. A string of unexplained murders has brought danger to Daisy's door, forcing her to turn to the most unlikely of saviors . . .
Their growing passion knows no bounds . . .


Ian Ranulf, the Marquis of Northrup, has spent lifetimes hiding his primal nature from London society. But now a vicious killer threatens to expose his secrets. Ian must step out of the shadows and protect the beautiful, fearless Daisy, who awakens in him desires he thought long dead. As their quest to unmask the villain draws them closer together, Daisy has no choice but to reveal her own startling secret, and Ian must face the undeniable truth: Losing his heart to Daisy may be the only way to save his soul.


I actually liked this book better than "Firelight". In my eyes Daisy and Ian were more relatable as a couple. I thought the story flowed better and I was more intrigued by their relationship. Plus it's pretty steamy at times. Like all good romance novels, it was a tad predictable, but the paranormal aspect kept it from being stale. Will I read part 3? If I think about it. "Winterblaze" comes out on February 26th and so far my library has zero copies ordered. So ... if I can get it for free, I more than likely will. You know me, finishing series is my addiction. I give "Moonglow" a strong B+.

(I mean when it comes with a review like this from Diana Gabaldon, how can you go wrong!?)
