All Jacked Up by Penny McCall

This book rocked and I mean it literally. so much action from the beginning itself. the whole book was filled with so much action, witty remarks/dialogues that i thought to myself, i'd love it if a movie was made exactly like the book with the witty remarks. what i really loved was how the author managed to come up with such great dialogues. it made me laugh so much; also the expressions used were fantastic. the scenes described were so real i could practically imagine them in my head. and she describes the characters so well, i can practically see their expressions in my head. only thing is i can't get a clear face but i definitely can see their body postures and even the snorts that they do lol and it's her debut novel it seems. the synopsis is as it is on the book.
since jack mitchell barged into her life, librarian aubrey sullivan has been abducted at gunpoint, taken on a death-defying car chase and kissed within an inch of madness. she's starting to think that maybe she should try to shake this over-bearing guy off...
but aubrey doesn't realize she's ticked off the biggest drug lord in the western hemisphere. it seems that somewhere in her photographic memory is something he wants kept quiet and he's willing to kill to do it. and jack can't exactly go to the good guys just because, well suddenly they think he's a bad guy too. now jack needs aubrey to clear his name. if only she'd do what he says. they just might get out of this alive. that is if they can keep their hands off each other long enough to think straight...
well what more can i say. action junkies, this book is not to be missed. enjoy

Run For Your Life by Andrea Kane

it had been so long since i last read a book by this author that i had nearly forgotten about her. but reading this book made me remember why i was so into her once. it was just that i couldn't find any more of her books that i hadn't read, thus forgetting about her :P
when victoria kensington's sister audrey, vanishes, victoria is sure her abusive father is somehow connected. she does some investigating but reaches a dead end when help comes from an unexpected source, the lover she hasn't seen in 4 years.
zachary hamilton's investigation for the fbi has led him till where victoria was stumped in hers. when a surveillance tape reveals victoria, he knows he must contact his ex, no matter his feelings about her. together they must race to crack the mystery and rescue audrey even as the white hot electricity between them's recharging to a fever pitch.
this book has almost everything i could want for; action, mystery, romance and even some comic moments. i especially loved the feelings between the two of them. the author managed to bring our their feelings so well, it made me so engrossed that i hated to be disturbed. she also showed how they dealt with their problems. anyway hope you enjoy the book.

The Wolf by Jean Johnson

The second book in the novel of the sons of destiny, it was a book i borrowed after much deliberation. i prefer my heroes and heroines to be alone if possible, as in no relatives and what nots. if not, i get tempted to read the rest of the sequels/prequels and if i can't find them, it's frustrating especially when you're in the mood. anyway the synopsis for this is the same as from the back of the book.
eight brothers, born in 4 sets of twins, 2 years apart from each other. they fulfil the curse of 8 prophecy. to avoid tempting destiny, the brothers are exiled to nighfall isle, where women are forbidden. when a childhood friend seeks refuge among the brothers, it triggers a confrontation with their mysterious enemy.
alys arrives desperate and afraid but welcomed by wolfer, the second born brother. they've each harboured deep feelings for each othr but alys harbours a secret as well. it's her very own uncle who torments the exiled brothers, plaguing them with creatures, and who seeks to kill them to secure their ancestral inheritance for himself.
but confessing her uncle's plan to the brothers will put them at even greater risk,for their resistance against the evil mage has stirred his wrath. this time, alys fears her uncle's determined to exterminate the brothers once and for all-destroying the star-crossed lovers as well.
well it was exactly as i mentioned earlier. reading this book made me want for some more of the other sequels. i'm sure i mentione this before in my earlier posts as well but still, it's amazing how creative and imaginative authors are. to be able to think up such long stories and link them all together, kudos to them. hope you all enjoy this book.

Ecstasy:TheShadowdwellers by Jacquelyn Frank

This is most likely the sequel to the nightwalker series. I've written about them before.
Worlds couldn't keep them apart.
Among the shadowdwellers, trac holds power that some are willing to kill for. and one rival would have succeeded when he was saved by a beautiful, fragile human who healed him. by rights, he should hardly even register her existence within the realm of shadowscape, but he notices everything about her.
after a terrifying car crash, ashla townsend wakes up to find herself in an eerie and desolate new york. just when she's convinced she's all alone, she's confronted by a dark warrior who draws her deeper into a world she never knew existed. the bond between them is a mystery to both bu looking for answers will mean confronting long hidden secrets and uncovering a threat that could destroy everything trace holds precious.
personally, this was an ok book for me. i'm hoping to read books about some other characters in this book that attracted me but i'm not sure if they're out yet. oh well, i hope you enjoy this book. it helps to pass time.

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.
