WINNING VIRGIN BLOOD is spectacular! This is Destiny Blaine's first attempt at a paranormal and I am completely astounded.

Madelyn loves nothing more than to drive her friend Brady insane with her shenanigans. Not being human sometimes really has its perks for her. It's especially fun when she can use her nifty powers to scare women away from Brady. When she discovers that she's started having feelings for Brady, Madelyn isn't sure how to react to the situation. Brady is stoking flames in her she wasn't sure were possible. What's even better, Brady knows part of the secret Madelyn has to keep from the world. And it doesn't bother him in the least.
Brady has his own secrets to hide. Once upon a time, a tabloid nailed the actor correctly in a statement, and Brady has been working doubly hard to keep his secret under wraps. He's in love with Madelyn and badly wants to share his secret with her. Unfortunately, she only seems to see them as friends. They goof around, flirt, and lately, have found themselves getting a little on the frisky side. But eventually, both of them are going to have to come clean about who they really are.
THE GUARDIANS by Mandy M. Roth is sizzling hot. This story is definitely on my top five list of favorites from this wickedly talented author. Everything about THE GUARDIANS was perfect for me; the non-stop action, the hidden lives, the passion and romance that blossoms between the characters, especially the characters themselves. Madelyn is a Guardian, sworn to protect the innocent from those that would hurt them. Fighting the bad guys—vamps, werewolves and other paranormal creatures, has left Madelyn a very tough woman. When she and Brady find themselves extremely attracted to one another, she's not sure how to handle it. Brady, of course, is raring and ready to consummate their relationship. Brady is a very witty and endearing character who, for me, was a perfect match for Madelyn. If you're looking for a high-voltage paranormal romance, look no further. You can never go wrong with a story by Mandy M. Roth!

Cassandra Nevin is dying from a terminal illness and has decided to live her last days on a boat with a bunch of scientists. She keeps her illness a secret so no one will treat her differently. She just wants to die in peace, but that is shot to hell when her boat is attacked. Cassandra finds herself alone, being sucked down into the blackness of the ocean. As she is sinking into the darkness, she realizes she is ready to go, but then the unimaginable happens; she finds herself in a lip lock with a sexy man.
Iason the Hunter is on a hunt for Scylla, an evil black spirit that sinks ships, when things go all wrong. Instead, he finds himself fighting to keep a drowning human woman alive. But it proves to be a tough fight when she insists for him to let her sink to the bottom. For some reason Iason feels protective of her and won’t let her die without a fight. Risking her human life, he takes her to his underwater home; only to find out she doesn’t have much time to live. Can he use his healing powers to save her, or is she gone forever?
COMMANDING THE TIDES by Michelle M. Pillow is absolutely out of this world. This story grabbed me from the first page of the book and wouldn’t let go. I couldn’t read this story fast enough to satisfy my craving. The characters in this story are well developed and you feel as if you know and understand them right away. Cassandra is a strong lead female character who I felt immediately attached to; she has a wonderful sense of strong determination that led me to think that she can take on the world. Iason is the best male lead character that I’ve read about in a long time. He is the strong Merr that dominates his world and I love him. I must tell you, the passion in this story will make you tingle from head to toe. Every time these two are in a room together the sparks fly, leaving me craving more sensual scenes. If you love a good paranormal story with some awesome sensual scenes, than COMMANDING THE TIDES is definitely for you. I will be telling my friends about this Recommended Read. Congratulations, Ms. Pillow, for an excellent book!
