Sensuality: White Heart

Unable to make sense of her sister’s suicide, Scarlett decides to spend the summer alone at her grandparents house and see if being in the small village where her sister died will lend her any answers, but all she seems to find are more questions. This story reminded me a little of the Twilight series, both because of the fantasy subject matter and because Scarlett has two very different men looking out for her, both of whom she feels drawn to. You are left hanging at the end, with Scarlett facing an impossible decision that seems to have no good answer—the story continuing on in the next book (Forget Me Not). The romance aspect of the book is very tame and I liked the slow, innocent development of the relationship between Scarlett and Luke—it was sweet. Intriguing beginning to the series, and I’m interested to see where it leads.

Sensuality: Red Heart

Daniel is ordered by the king to take control of a castle in the lowlands and marry the daughter of the current castle’s keeper, and Daniel finds Rona every bit as challenging as the task he’s been set. There were so many secrets and deceptions in the beginning of this relationship, but I was glad that most all of them were cleared up fairly early on and they could deal with the hardship ahead of them as a team. I loved the way Daniel let Rona continue on with her wild ways, within reason, and didn’t try to cage her. I wish we could continue on with young Will. Great story and great finish to the series!

Sensuality: Red Heart

Rabid hasn’t been able to get Christa out of his head since the night she’d been pulled into the ugliness that had resulted from the in-fighting in the club, but Christa’s got more problems with bikers than she can handle as it is, and intends to keep Rabid at a distance out of self-preservation. I loved how determined Rabid was in his pursuit of Christa—he just wouldn’t take no for an answer, and once he got his act together, his devotion to her was both intense and really sweet. This series doesn’t shy away at all from vengeance and the graphic pursuit of justice, in whatever violent and sometimes gruesome vigilante method the characters see fit.There are so many interesting secondary characters in this series, I hope Blackjack get’s his own story. Roman next? Great read!

Sensuality: Pink Heart

Just after graduation from high school, Savannah is visited by an intoxicating dream man, and even though he only visited her once and hasn’t returned in years, she can’t forget him—to the point of staying faithful to his memory. This was a nice, light read. I liked that the dream man had both dark and light in him, and his jealous fit over Savannah’s boyfriend had a really nice edge to it, where you almost weren’t sure of him anymore. All the little rules for the world of the incubi were well thought out and I liked the world it created. Good story!

Sensuality: Red Heart

This is a short little story about Liz and her evening out with her boyfriend and her cousin, which ends with everyone involved a little tipsy, a lot horny and involves a LOT of watersports (some of which takes place in public—bar/bus). If you are squeamish at all about watersports, I wouldn’t advise this story, but I have to say that even though I went in a little adverse, I thought it was presented in a way that made it seem almost normal (and even a little sexy). This also depicts a three-way in which every combination of participants is tried (M/M, etc.), and may be taboo for some readers (first cousins), but I thought it was great! Very entertaining light read!
