Dark Rival by Brenda Joyce

this is actually the first or second book in the masters of time series if i'm not wrong. i've actually read some of the sequels already and so far, i'm not regretting borrowing any of them and wasting my time. it was time well spent. hehe
a golden man, he's called black royce-a battle hardened soldier of the gods. his vows are his life, until he is sent to new york city to protect a healer from those who would use her powers for themselves. the moment royce sees beautiful, fiesty allie monroe, he knows she will be his only weakness-and he is right.
allie monroe is more than an heiress. she is a healer, willing to do anything to save victims of the evil that lurks in the city at night. but alone, she can only do so much-until destiny sends her the darkest highlander of them all. then evil strikes and royce is destroyed before her very eyes. now allie will do anything to save royce-even if it means going back in time to a dark, dangerous world. confronting their enemies could cost not only their lives, but their love-for all eternity.
this was such a sweet read on top of it being really action packed which most of her books are, or those that i post here anyway. most are action packed romance hehe i would be willing to actually buy this book and add to my 'bookshelf' when i have one in the future. i won't mind reading it again in the future. hope you enjoy

Dark Possession by Christine Feehan

Another one of Christine Feehan's carpathian novels, this is a good read too like all others. I loved the synopsis enough to want to borrow this book immediately, so i hope you like it too. here's the synopsis exactly as is on the back.
Manolito De La Cruz knew he was dangerously close to turning into a vampire. The last thing he expected after being called back to his carpathian homeland by prince mikhail was to catch the scent of his destined lifemate in maryann delaney. maryann is human but knows all too well the aggressive instincts of carpathian males. and they're not exactly the kind of males she'd prefer to be bound for life.
a dedicated counsellor for battered women, maryann has a fulfulling life with no room for someone like manolito, born and bred in the carpathian mountains, a law unto himself. but when maryann agrees to go to south america to offer guidance to a brutalized young woman, she has no idea a trap awaits her in the sweltering thick of the jungle. she has been drawn there by manolito himself, who has seductive plans for the unaware, irresistibly human female...
christine feehan is really an amazing author, such vivid imagination, her stories really make me one with them. if only i was able to get all her other books, sigh. oh well, i hope you enjoy this book.

Simply Love by Catherine Anderson

This love story is so sweet. even the hardest heart can be softened by love. that's what the book says. and when reading it, i was swept along with the emotions, especially of our heroine. it made me frustrated at times when there were misunderstandings and happy when they were clarified.
Cassandra Zerek is a true innocent in a wild and dangerous place-but her indomitable spirit and gentle soul make her stronger than anyone suspects.
As the owner of a Colorado mining empire, luke taggart's wealth and position can buy him anything, yet he's grown bored of saloons, gambling and loose women. nothing soothes his inner yearning-until he spies cassandra, as fresh and pure as a spring morning and vows he will possess her. the radiant, charmingly naive young beauty seems blind to the depths of luke's desire or the lengths he is willing to go to seduce her. but the lady is wise with an unwavering faith in the magical powers of love. and she's determind to awaken the good man hiding in luke's tormented heart, for only one precious gift will truly win her: his deep, passionate and unsullied heart.
i would recommend this book especially if you're looking for something sweet and romantic.

Noah the Nightwalker by Jaquelyn Frank

Finally, here's the story about our demon king who has the element of fire. i like how the leads meet each other, through their dreams. here's the synopsis exactly as is on the back of the book.
She will take him beyond his wildest dreams. as demon king, noah is dedicated to protecting his kind from their human and nightwalker enemies. yet for six months, he has struggled with vivid dreams that threaten his very sanity. every night he's tormented by images of a woman both achingly real and tantalizingly beyong his grasp. and his bone-deep need leaves him no choice but to force her to leave the life she's known and enter a world beyong her imagining.
everyday, kestra risks her life in perilous missions that veer just shy of the law, but she instinctively knows that the imposingly sensual figure before her is a danger unlike any she's ever faced. kestra has sworn never to trust or need another man, but noah's lightest touch scorches her with fevered desire, branding her as his mate and binding them both to the terrifying truth. for within the ranks of their own people lies an adversary growing in number and power and nothing and no one will ever be safe again...
unfortunately, i was on a rush to finish this book because i was at the library and had to return it so i could borrow another book. and i didn't want to reborrow this book as i was nearing the end too so in my rush, i wasn't able to savour the end properly but overall, it definitely helped to pass my time and i did get to enjoy the book as well. the king is after all the king and it shows in the book, and it was amazing to find out kestra's powers. hope you enjoy the book too.

Damien the Nightwalkers by Jaquelyn Frank

Ok, i think this is the sequel to elijah the nightwalkers, which i have written about earlier. but in this case, our nightwalker is not a demon like elijah but a vampire. ooo right now, there's all the paranormal rage going on and it's bitten me too:P
Damien, the vampire prince, is among the most powerful nightwalkers in the world. he'd never loved, but she was irresistible. The war between human necromancers and nightwalkers has escalated and when the enemy kidnaps syreena, a lycanthrope princess,(elijah's sis-in-law btw) he follows and succeeds in rescuing her but is unprepared for the erotic longing she awakens in him.
Gifted with rare abilities, syreena grew up in closed settings and was forbidden to form attachments with anyone yet the connection between damien and her is intoxicating and impossible for either to resist. but claiming syreena as his mate could have repercussions for every nightwalker and leave enemies more dangerous than ever before.
After reading about her sister and elijah, i was even more curious to read about syreena as she was rarer than anyone so far. being paired with the vampire prince was like the icing on the top of the cake for me. hehehe loved the book and i hope you will as well.

Mystic Warrior by Patricia Rice

Another fantasy filled with magic novel, it definitely kept me wanting to continue reading without stopping. it was that good though it's been quite some time since i last read this. i was too lazy to write about it immediately and so am only writing about it now. i'll write the synopsis exactly as is written on the back of the book.
Lissandra Olympus, the daughter of Aelynn's late spiritual leader, is convinced that only renegade outcast Murdoch LeDroit can save her people. but murdoch refuses to return to those who exiled him years ago, as their fear of his extraordinary, uncontrollable psychic power is well founded. he also resists reigniting the combustible passion that has always existed between him and lissandra, for it would only expose her to his destructive forces.
but in a world where magic conspires to unite them, lissandra and murdoch cannot long deny their sexually charged energy. as they search for the long lost chalice of plenty, which is essential to aelynn's survival, lissandra begins to realize that it may be her healing skills that murdoch most needs...and his protectiveness that she most desires. perhaps together they can learn to focus his power until he becomes the perfect ruler of aelynn. but will lissandra consent to remain by his side, ever his co-ruler, his lover, his wife?
this was a great read for me even though i had not read its prequels. i hope those with similar passions for these genres, like me, will enjoy it. you won't regret it.

Dark Lover by Brenda Joyce

This is a masters of time series and book 3 of the rose trilogy. and again, i think i preferred the prequels although i have yet to read one more i think. but still it's enjoyable. well this is another book with highland warriors with great powers. it's getting late here and i'm sleepy so i'm quoting the synopsis right from the back of the book.
Ian Maclean's arrogance hides a terrible secret-for decades he was held prisoner by demons. not a day goes by that he isn't tormented by his darkest fears of powerlessness. now he is about to sell to the highest bidder a page he's stolen from the book of power-if one woman doesn't stop him.
Slayer Samantha Rose's latest mission is to recover the stolen page-and get payback from the only man who's ever rejected her. what she hasn't counted on is the raging attracting between them-or her growing realization of what maclean has survived. as the powers of the evil from this past gather, sam will do anything to help him-even if it means following him into time and facing his worst nightmares with him...
well if you have read the prequels before this, then you would have known that sam is a girl with attitude and it's proven here. you feel her pride and when she's embarassed, you feel that too. ian is...emo. i guess if that can even be described for heroesBP but he's emotionally scarred that's for sure and it'll take time for him to heal. anyway i hope you will enjoy this book too.
