Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.

Evelyn Thomas’s plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure as hell never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.

One thing is for certain, being married to rock and roll’s favourite son is sure to be a wild ride.

My Thoughts

I’ve been following all of the little sneak peeks of LICK on the author’s blog, chaffing at the bit for more with each tantalizing snippet. I drooled over the brooding image of David on the cover, anticipating its release with each passing day. And I squeeeed in an almighty fangirl fashion when it arrived in my inbox for review!

LICK is one of those books you stay up to the wee small hours reading.
It’s a book you read while trying to cook breakfast for the kids; a book so engrossing you’ll (well I did anyway) hold off going to the bathroom just so you can read to the end of the page... or even the next!

For those of you who have read Kylie Scott’s other books (Flesh, Skin, Room With a View: Hot Down Under, Colonist’s Wife) you’ll know about her talent for writing snazzy one liners and snarky, tongue in cheek conversations that have you swooning, giggling, and panting with lust. For those of you, who have yet to experience Kylie’s ninja writing skills, prepare for a great ride.  

LICK is an experience in awesome; I barely stopped to write notes (hello – you already know I barely stopped for bathroom breaks!!) but the ones I did write read like this…

HOT!
FUNNY!
HOT AND FUNNY!
OMG HOT!
OMG, F*&#ING HOT!!
RAWRRRR THAT’S HOT!!!!!

You get the idea!

Yes, LICK is a book I have fallen in love with; an array of characters who feel like friends, or people I’d like to befriend (or have sex with!) Kylie's characters came alive with every word, every turn of the page, to the point I felt bereft once I'd finished reading. I am physically aching for the next book in this series, I only hope the wait isn't too long!

There really are so many things to love about LICK and I could go on-and-on about it, but you really need to experience it’s amazingness for yourself.

I NEED this in paperback on my keeper shelf now!
So I'll definitely be ordering a signed copy a.s.a.p because author Kylie Scott has solidified herself as one of my all time favourite authors.

LICK gets a super sexy, well deserved 5+ stars ~<;]
 

Cover Reveal: Allegiance Sworn by Kylie Griffin

Holy cow - its gorgeous!!

Here it is folks, the eagerly awaited cover for 

book #3 in The Light Blade series

ALLEGIANCE SWORN
(Bk #3 of the Light Blade)

There is no mercy in the demon realm. No escape. In this place of desperation and conflict, anyone who is not purebred is virtually powerless. Until a demon leader seeks to unify the races…

With the alliance of the humans and the half-blood Na’Chi forged, the demon Na’Reish prepare for war by seizing human blood-slaves. Captured during a rescue mission-gone-wrong, Light Blade warrior Arek Barial finds himself claimed by a Na’Reishi female who offers him an unexpected choice.

Raised in the elite ranks of a society she abhors, Imhara Kaal lives a dangerous double life as a Na’Reish Clan-leader and an advocate for a caste-free life that honors the Old Ways. Openly rebelling against the Na’Reish would mean her death, unless she can find an emissary willing to present her petition to the human Blade council.

But Arek isn’t about to blindly follow a demon—despite the intense attraction growing between them. And while hatred for the Na’Reish is all he has ever known, Arek must learn to trust Imhara, or risk the destruction of all three races…

OMG Finally!!

J.R Ward is right up there on my list of fave authors...
but I'll be honest, I've lost interest in her Black Dagger Brotherhood
series and havent read books #9 and #10

However...thats going to have to change because book #11 is
Qhuinn and Blay's story!!

Can you say, about fricken time!!
 

And check out Qhuinn in all his OMG sexiness on the cover *swoons*
 

 

J.R Ward

Here's what the author had to say as to why only Qhuinn is on the cover:

"I do think it's going to be important for people to realize the story's going to be written as it comes (came) to me, and that they're not getting special treatment either for or against them because of their sexuality- to me, this story has always been about Qhuinn coming around and accepting who he really is and who he really loves- so the title and the cover was always about him in my mind. This is not to dimish Blay or his journey or his role- not at all. And it is not a case of the book focusing solely on Qhuinn and ignoring Blay's feelings (because he's going to have some big issues to deal with, too.) I just think Qhuinn's the one who's fought against their HEA and is the one who has to travel the most to get there. If that makes any sense?"

Earmarked with an expected publication date of  March 2013
you can bet the pre order numbers for this book are
going to break records!
