a cover showing

I was doing my usual flicking threw blogs and I came across this....
  [I found this on Paranormal Haven]


Book 11 of the Lords of the Underworld series by Gena Showalter--the Darkest Seduction, which is due out in Febuary 2012

This is Paris' book, though I can't get all that excited about it yet because by all rights I'm still wanting to for book 10, the darkest Surrender which comes out in Oct (and I'm supper sicked 'cause I'm more than sure it's out in Oct. yeah!)

still saying this, I'm not a 100% sure if I'm happy with this cover or if I want one to come out like all the others, 'cause I'm a person that likes her books to have the same covers--you know let them match. but this book, this cover, I may make an excepting because...man its a beauty, especally for a romance novel. 

well that's it,
Thank-you all for you time.

book review (enslave me sweetly)

    (Re-read: now)
      Enslave Me Sweetly
   
She has the heart of a killer. And the body of an angel...
Cold-blooded assassin. Hot-blooded passion... Edan Black always gets her man.

Prod Dets: Alien Huntress series, book two
Pub: 2006,
Author: Gena Showalter
Format: paperback; 306 pages w/ 30 chapters
Whose: Edan & Lucius
Age range: Adult (5)

Synopsis: Edan Black walks among humans, protecting them from the murderous evil of other-worlders who abduct and enslave. And though she appears to be human herself, Edan is an alien, a Raka, distinguished by her golden hair and skin, and gifted with the ominous ability to kill without remorse – and with total accuracy. That is, until the fateful night she has one shot to eliminate her target, a human slaver – and misses.
   “Failure” is not in Edan’s vocabulary. Neither is “partner” – but that’s what she is forcibly assigned after recovering from disastrous mission. A sexy, steel-nerved human agent, Lucius Adaire enjoys nothing more than sparking the fury – and rousing the desire – of the fiery female assassin too proud to admit defeat. Locked in an assignment they cannot afford to lose, Lucius and Edan find themselves bound in two high-stakes, heart-pounding games: the sensual web of kill or be killed, and the erotic dance of seduction.

Review: this book, to me, was a long time in loving. Mostly because I didn’t particularly like the words, the whole alien thing just isn’t my thing, so saying that her world is actually really well done. But...
   I loved Edan; she’s a kickass woman who knows what she wants and what she doesn’t even if her body is saying she does. It’s one of those books that seems more about lust, but when things get down to it, you can really see that Lucius is a perfect male for her.
   Okay, so mostly this book is about them both really, really wanting each other but that’s it, sex. They don’t want it to be anything else, even though it’s clearly there. Though saying this, it’s in first person, Edan’s thoughts, and so, we don’t really know what Lucius is feeling.
   I loves the situation too, loved the fact that Edan was like so many other woman out there, the harder ones that can’t quite seem to measure up, or at least that’s how she sees it. and that character, the harder, need driven character works so well with both the plot and the lover, there isn’t anything soft about Edan, she wants what she wants and in a way that’s all feminine.
   I loved her and even though the world did nothing for me, this book defiantly did.
