Blurb:

He’s exactly what she’s always wanted. And she unleases him like a force of nature…

Lucy was once the beloved Goddess of the Moon, and she could have any man she wanted. But these days, the goddesses of the Etruscan pantheon are all but forgotten. The only rituals she enjoys now are the local hockey games, whereone ferociously handsome player still inflames her divine blood…

Brandon Stevenson is one hundred percent focused on the game, until he looks up and sees a celestial beauty sitting in the third row. A man could surely fall hard for a distraction like that…

My Thoughts:

Welcome back to the mysterious world Julian spun around the Etruscan mythology. The hunt …

She may learn to live for love…if vengeance doesn’t kill her first.

Happy Birthday to our wonderful Caroline. Usually we post our bday wishes here but this morning–well, in the middle of the night–we here at Book Lovers Inc got a message from the future. The email included a document that describes Caro’s future adventures, and we thought why not post it today in addition to our usual birthday squeeing. So here is your chance to take a look into Caro’s upcoming years.

_________

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away (or not so far, if you’re anywhere near France), the lovely princess Caroline sat in her tower, waiting for her true love. A prophecy had been delivered at her birth that a handsome prince would rescue her and give her the ‘Happily Ever After’ she sought.

One day, as Caro was searching for a new book to read, she knocked her knitting basket …

The Good The Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome to our Holiday edition of The Good The Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? Since we started the final countdown to Christmas and yes since we’re hosting a Holiday Challenge (HERE), we thought we should take a look at covers of Holiday/Xmas themed new releases. We’ll take you on an adventure from Sexy contemp to historical romance, from Paranormal to Small Town romance…let’s see what publishers think looks Xmasy 😉 Be prepared of all the stars, christmas trees and other seasonal tropes.

Sexy contemp romances:

Susi:  Okay first thing: I so don’t like the font on the Cari Quinn cover and when they use snowflakes in red it doesn’t look very nice. In all the cover is just too full and the christmas baubles looked more like eggs on first sight. LOL Made me go a bit O_o

Hmm, the Kennedy cover is just christmasy cuz the title has christmas in it. …

Blurb:

Alien Super-Being Exterminator Kitty Katt is expecting her first baby. But the alien attacks are getting more dangerous, and now Kitty and her Alpha Centaurion husband, Jeff, have to find out who’s behind the conspiracy to kill Kitty’s secret agent mom and what caused Kitty’s transformation into a superhuman-and they’ve got to do it all before the baby shower…

My Thoughts:

Koch did it again- with Alien Proliferation she delivers another fast paced and enthralling novel in her Katherine Kitty Katt series. It’s hard to review this book without spoiling the previous ones so if you are behind on reading them I caution you to read on only if you don’t mind spoilers.
