Book Description

Publication Date:October 26, 2010
EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE. BRYNNA MALAK MIGHT BE THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE.
Brynna is a fallen angel trying to earn redemption. She’s escaped from Hell in search of a new life on Earth, but Lucifer’s deadliest hunters are hot on her trail. Police Detective Eran Redmond is after her for a different reason: he needs Brynna to help him find a serial killer who is terrifying Chicago . . . and the trail leads them right to Hellspawned demons of the most dangerous kind. She’s also got a very human problem: dealing with a stubborn, attractive cop who makes her long for everything she knows she can’t have.
Staying alive long enough to earn a shot at Heaven will mean breaking some major rules in the mortal world, as she learns just how complicated and wonderful being human can be. With so much stacked against her, even Brynna has to wonder if she’s crazy. But she’s not giving in without a fight.
Not a chance in Hell. . . .
BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON
This is a richly layered story, different from some that I have read. Brynna is a fallen angel seeking redemption. She escapes Hell to Earth so she can redeem herself to God and return to Heaven. On Earth she meets Eran Redmond, a cop,  who deal with her because she is a witness to a murder on her first day on Earth.
Once the pace picks up it is an excellent read.
The story and the characters just pull you in. There is two books in the series, and I hope there will be more. I loved this story line. I give it a 4/ 5 stars just because it took it a little to pick up the pace of the story.
 Here is the second book in the series.

“A CURSED EMBRACE” BY CECY ROBSON BOOK REVIEW

51K53jN09-L._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_AA160_[1]Celia Wird and her three sisters are just like other twentysomething girls—with one tiny exception: They are the products of a curse that backfired and gave each of them unique powers that made them, well, a little weird.…

After Celia Wird and her sisters help master vampire Misha save his family, their powers are exposed to the supernatural community of the Lake Tahoe region. But fame comes at a price, and being “weird” isn’t always welcome.

To make matters worse, Celia desires the love of Alpha werewolf Aric, but his pack is bent on destroying their relationship to preserve his pure blood status. And once weres start turning up dead—with evidence pointing to the vampires—she must face the prospect of losing Aric forever. But the chaos only masks a new threat. An evil known as the Tribe has risen—and their sights are set on Celia and her sisters.

BOOK REVIEW COURTESY OF AMAZON

Cecy Robson has a winner with this series. This plot line is amusing , fresh, with kick  butt characters. I love that the Wird sisters have a smart-aleck sharp wit and a close relationship. They will not hesitate to take out someone who has hurt one of their sisters without even batten an eye. I was all for Celia and Aric to get together, but if he is not willing to give up some of the old ways of the pack for the woman he loves( his mate) then he does not deserve Celia. By the end of this book I was thinking of Aric as a total Ass.  I know that he was thinking only about the packs well-being after everything that had happened, but still he should not had to sacrifice Celia and his future together.

I am glad that Celia decided to go with Misha and take him up on his offer. This book will have you laughing, crying, and flat-out yelling at the characters what an ass they are, but in the end you will be wanting more. I give this book a 5/ 5 stars.

Product DetailsBOOK DESCRIPTION

PUBLICATION DATE: OCTOBER 1, 2013

Griffin Cadogan is surprised when Avani Monroe, the sworn enemy of his dragon family, walks into his gym. With his mating phase approaching, the dragon shifter wonders why she risks coming into enemy territory. Yet the dark-eyed temptress shocks him even more with an outrageous demand: She wants him to help her have a baby.
After her mother’s dragon line was annihilated by the Knights, Avani vows to continue her unique dragon breed-and the registries indicate that Griffin is the best candidate. Determined to mate, Avani plans to use her seductive beauty and powerful scent to entice Griffin. The big, strong Welsh man will make for a fitting partner . . . if he doesn’t kill her first.
When they spar over the terms of her proposal, Griffin and Avani can’t deny the intense, primal attraction they feel for each other. But as they become closer to creating a child, the lovers can hear danger encircle them as loud as the clapping of wings. The dragon slayers are coming . . .and they’re gunning for Griffin, Avani, and the entire dragon race.
25,000 words.

I was given this book by Netgalley.com to read for an honest  review.
This is the first time I have read this author, Lolita Lopez.  The story line and characters were well-developed and well paced. The characters of Griffin and Avani were very likeable and strong characters. The story hooked me from the first page, and before I knew it the story was done. I wish the story was longer, I wanted more. The men in the story were absolutely yummy. I cannot wait until the next book in the series. I recommend this book to everyone. I give this book a 5/ 5 stars.
Here is the first book in the series. Product Details
