Thanks to Hachette and Anna Balasi I was able to join in on my very first blog tour! Yay! My blog feels all grown up now! Anywho, back to business! I have the details of the giveaway at the end of my review so stay tuned!From Amazon:
TORN BETWEEN...
Alexandrine Marit is a witch in mortal danger. An evil mage craves the powerful, mysterious talisman that supplies her magic, and the only person who can keep her safe is a dark and dangerous fiend called Xia. With his fierce animosity toward witches, he's hardly the ideal bodyguard. Yet as days turn into nights, she can't deny the white-hot passion between them.
DESIRE AND TEMPTATION
Xia hates witches. They enslave and mercilessly kill his kind. But he's been ordered to protect Alexandrine, who, to his surprise, has a spirit he admires and a body he longs to possess. With the mage and his henchmen closing in, Alexandrine and her protector must trust the passion that can unite them...or risk losing everything to the enemies who can destroy them both.
My Review:
Wow! This book sorta popped my cherry in the Paranormal Romance department! I have seen several reviews for this book scattered about the web so I will try not to sound like a broken record. Well heck! I can't help it! This book was good! I really enjoyed the characters and the plot tremendously! Although to be honest, I would have liked the system of magic and it's "rules" to have been a little more fleshed out for easier understanding. I will however forgive Ms. Jewell for this small transgression (if it could be called that at all.) The reason for my leniency, you ask? The reason being how incredibly HOT the action *wink wink* is! Yup, my temperature was rising a little bit while I flipped through the pages and totally hooked me on this genre! I'd certainly recommend this naughty novel to anyone looking for a quick sexy read!

I think the paranormal romance genre combines the excitement of romance with the excitement of the unknown.

ReplyDeleteWhat draws me into the paranormal romance genre is the suspension of disbelief that you can not normally associate with everyday life.

ReplyDeleteI love paranormal romances because I think I like a little danger and excitement thats missing in some romances.
I had a real hard time getting into the site. I couldn't get in using IE8 kept getting operation aborted. I finally got in thru firefox. Maybe a problem here--just for your info.
looks like a great read
ReplyDeleteLOL, I just love your reviews! I just have to enter to see how hot this is for myself :D

+1 I was always a fan of sci-fi/fantasy and of romances. I guess Paranormal just blends the two. I'm just getting into this genre so I haven't read a ton of it but so far I'm really enjoying it.
I'll come back when I get this giveaway blogged.
