    Synopsis

    Haunted by the curse of a tormented past, Damien Thorn doesn’t believe love and a happily-ever-after is in the cards for him. A witch hunter and slayer who despises everything that has to do with witchcraft, he finds himself in a very uncomfortable situation when he has to help his adopted brother find his mate’s sister, who happens to be a witch. Soon, just a sniff of Saige Callahan’s peculiar scent has him panting after her and wanting things he vowed he would never want from any witch. Never did he expect to be drawn to her the way he is and he’s determined to stay away from her, even if it killed him.

    One look at Thorn’s luscious physique has Saige convinced that she has to have him, even if it’s just for one night. But how can she even get close to him if he’s determined to hate her at all costs? Can she cast a spell on this jaded shifter to make him see that all witches weren’t created equal?

    My Review

    This is the third and final book in this trilogy.  We finally find the third sister, Saige.  Saige was raised to believe in science, that monsters we not real.  She does remember a nightmare with a monster but was always told it was just a dream.  Thorn’s life was torn apart by witches.  He swore to avenge his parents and rid the world of them.  Until his “brothers” fell in love with Raven and Eryn.  When he meets Saige in the woods he is convinced that she has bewitched him.  What I got out of this book, is don’t judge a group of people just because of a few bad apples.  I can’t tell you what happens in the story more than this because it would give too much away.  I really enjoyed reading the story and in fact, it only took me two hours to read.  

    4 Hearts!  

    Excerpt

    A sudden movement in the bushes made her snap back to reality with a little jump. Biting back the sudden pang of fear, she forced herself to remain still and listen for a moment, but she didn’t hear the peculiar sound again. She expelled a breath of relief, realizing that her mind was probably playing tricks on her. In any case, it was perhaps time to get out of the water now. God only knew how long she’d been in here already. She hurriedly made her way to the riverbank, drying off and dressing in record time. But as she was gathering her belongings, she suddenly heard the movement in the bushes again.

    Another jolt of fear coursed through her, and she had to force herself to tamp it down. It was probably just an animal passing by, or maybe the tree branches rustling in the breeze. Absolutely nothing to be afraid of. She hurriedly began to make her way back to the campsite, moving her feet as fast as she could and looking about her wildly despite her efforts to remain calm. She was still several feet away from the cabin when a low growling made her stop dead in her tracks.

    Fear made her throat constrict like a closed-off tunnel when she noticed a pair of gleaming amber eyes peering at her through the darkness. The rumbling growl sounded again, louder this time, and then the owner of the eyes began moving closer toward her. The crunching of leaves under the creature’s feet resounded in her ears like firecrackers. She could tell it was advancing on her, but she still couldn’t make out its figure in the dim moonlight. She had no idea what it was, couldn’t decide whether she should turn and run or stand her ground and try to fight it off.

    Instinctively she began moving backward, calculating her best options for escape as she did so. At that moment, the animal made a sudden pounce, and she finally got to see what it was in a thin glimmer of the moonlight—a humongous black cat. Shocked, she opened her mouth to scream, but no sound escaped. Without another thought, she spun on her heels and made to run in the opposite direction, but before she made even one step, the cat was in front of her again. What the hell? Is there more than one of them?

    “Stay back!” she yelled, crouching to find something on the ground to defend herself.

    The cat just growled again and began stalking toward her once more.

    “Shoo! Get out of here!” she tried again, waving a stick she’d picked up. Still it came at her.

    She backed up some more, inching away from the animal as cold dread settled in her stomach. Soon her back was pressed up against the trunk of a large tree, and the cat was right in front of her, its amber eyes piercing her in the darkness. What the hell was she going to do now? This creature could tear her to pieces in less than a minute.

    “Nice kitty,” she whispered, her voice shaking under the stress of her fear. “Are you hungry? I ha-have food…W-would you like something to eat?” God, I must have lost my mind! Talking to a wild animal like it was a house pet was definitely sheer insanity.

    Just when she thought it wasn’t possible for her to be any more petrified, the animal suddenly began shaking, and then something completely unbelievable happened—it transformed into a very large man right before her eyes. Saige’s heart immediately jumped from her chest to her throat, blocking off the scream she desperately wanted to let out.

    The man cocked his head to one side, his amber eyes gleaming in the moonlight just like the black cat’s had, and whispered, “Don’t you know it’s not safe for little girls to go off into the woods all by themselves?”

    That was the last thing Saige heard before she crumpled to the ground in a dead faint.

    My Reviews

    Forgiving Reed

    Reed messed up and lost the one person he loved most. Kori was devastated by Reed. She went to college broken. Then she met Blake, and he was the band aid to her heart. Together they made something wonderful. The day Blake died was the saddest and happiest day of her life. The loss of him but the blessing of their son.

    Trying to mend her heart once again, she returns home. Reed never stopped loving Kori. Now he loves Rhett too. Now he just needs to get Kori to see that she still loves him.

    This book will have you crying in multiple places. I read this book in one day. I just could not put it down. Touching and soul satisfying.

    Finding Gavin

    Maria watched her best friend find an unconditional love. She would give anything to find that kind of love, except she doesn’t deserve it.

    Gavin left Savannah to start his life over. He swears he will never love again. That is until he meets Maria. After one hot night in his truck, he tries to deny that he has feelings for her. Over time, he realizes he can’t deny them any longer. After a shocking event, it is up to Gavin to convince Maria that they should be together.

    Again tears were shed. Maybe not to the degree I shed with the first book in the series, but touching just the same. A great story. I can’t wait for the next in the series.

    Loving Colt

    Every time Alexis falls in love it never lasts.  On the run from her current ex, Alexis is determined to get her baby girl to safety.  The only place she can think of is with her family.  She just has to get there.  Money is tight so when she stops at a diner in this small town for Maddison to go potty and a meal, she only buys enough for Maddi.  When she comes out, not only is Maddi’s meal there, but there is a meal for her too!!!  Then find out it is all paid for by a drop dead gorgeous cowboy????  Who knew good men still exist?  le sigh…….

     
    Colt saw a beauty and her little angel in the diner and he had to buy them the meal. He just knew the beauty should eat too.  The next day rumors had it that that beauty not only was still in town but at his mom’s house?  He was so there.
     
    I am pretty sure Colt fell for Alex and Maddi at first sight.  When Alex gets a phone call from the ex…..my panties melted from the testosterone Colt exuded.  He was their protector from that moment on.  If he were a shifter he would have claimed her right then and there.  
     
    When a miscommunication between Colt and Alex has her flown by her brother, Jett (who I am in love with btw), Colt is yelled at by his mother for not running after her.  He agrees that he should have and does.  
     
    Their coming together is beautiful.  I love her family.  While there, Colt saves the day and takes his girls home.
     
    This is a beautiful Series:  5 Hearts!

    This win is a little bittersweet to me though.  If you can’t see the fine print, Mary really won but because this was her contest she excused herself.  The funny thing is, I knew she would win.   That being said, I graciously accept this award.  Thank you to Mary for running this contest.  I am not sure who nominated me, but whoever did, thank you!  Thank you to Cara Covington/Morgan Ashbury for writing Love Under Two Outcasts.  Lusty is a fabulous series.  

    Thank you to those of you who voted for me as well.  I love to review books.  I am just happy that some of you actually read them.  From the bottom of my heart……Thank You!

    Blurb:

    She spends her nights treating patients, but Dr. Jocelyn Drake’s own wounds are unfixable. Her ex-husband and his younger, bouncier girlfriend work just a few floors away at Tulane Medical Center, and they serve as a constant reminder of what Joss lost. But a fierce determination to continue her research project and a shred of remaining pride keep Joss from transferring out of the Big Easy.

    Carson Stephens recently returned from a tour of duty in the Middle East, and though willing women present themselves at every turn, his closest companion is loneliness. His night-shift work supervising the electrical and mechanical systems at the hospital is a perfect fit – it’s solitary work putting broken things back together.

    When the electrical system on Joss’ floor goes haywire, she’s frazzled by the sexy electrician who sparks her dormant sex drive. He’s brooding and cocky – so not her type. But if Carson has his way, his hands will work their magic on more than just the wiring, and he’ll show Joss a night of passion that restores her shattered confidence.
