Bailey doesn’t want a mate, especially one as uptight and anal as Tristan. He thinks his life is just peachy the way it is. But something so…primal about the young woman messes with his order and he isn’t thrilled about it until he has a taste of her. She risks everything, including her life just to keep him safe. There’s a contract out on the Alpha. Without Bradley’s death then Aaron and his new family die. So Bailey does the only thing she can. She takes the life of one to save so many. What will Tristan do now that his mate is a wanted criminal?

Review:

I laughed and cried with this one. Kathi is great at describing the characters and making you feel as if you are right beside them experiencing their trials with them. The characters become more and more a part of your family as you read through the series. I feel as though I know them better than I know LOTS of my actual real life family members and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Title: Sliding Beneath the Surface

The St. Augustine Trilogy Book 1
Author: Doug Dillon

Genre: Young Adult

Presented by As You Wish...

Blurb

A new resident of America's oldest and most haunted city, St. Augustine, Florida, fifteen-year-old Jeff Golden suddenly finds himself up to his eyeballs in frightening paranormal experiences. At the end of his rope in trying to figure out what is happening to him, Jeff decides to rely on his friend Carla Rodriguez, and Lobo, an old Native American shaman, for help.

Despite this guidance, things get even worse. Jeff's spine tingling encounters increase in number and intensity at an alarming rate, scaring him even more. Eventually, he makes the startling discovery that
unresolved circumstances involving a bloody event directly out of Florida's distant past threatens his sanity and possibly his life.

Finally, overwhelmed by forces he cannot understand or control, Jeff's world shifts from frightening to downright terrifying. In desperation, and on Lobo's advice, he leaps headlong into the unknown in order to save himself. What Jeff discovers though is that he has entered a level of reality he is completely unprepared to handle while unwittingly dragging Carla with him.

Like all the books in THE ST. AUGUSTINE TRILOGY, the premise for Sliding Beneath the Surface is simply this: You create your own reality.

Player by Laura Deluca

Player

Laura DeLuca

Joshua Handover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn’t take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn’t know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn’t worth the price he’s paying to be a player.

Excerpt:
Someone else came over to offer Nadine their congratulations, so Josh said goodbye and went to his locker to get his backpack. He figured he would meet up with Andrea and Rosa in the parking lot. He fumbled with the combination before finally getting the door to swing open. Something glittered on the top shelf and caught his eye. He reached for it, and a small scrap of paper fluttered to the floor.
At first he wasn’t sure what he was holding. It was a pink plastic tiara with some big gaudy plastic jewels. It was the type of thing he had seen in dollar stores for little girls’ birthday parties. It was practically broken in half, and the edges were sharp. Josh pricked his finger on the jagged point, and a few drops of blood welled from the small wound. He put his finger in his mouth as he bent to pick up the paper that had fallen. When he read it, the broken crown suddenly made sense and he wondered how he could have been so naïve. He should have realized from the instant he saw it what it meant.

“Josh decided to play around

Now one of his girls is under the ground.

Another has a big bump on her head.

And by the end of the dance, the queen will be dead.”

Blurb/Synopsis:

A gathering storm of violence is on the horizon. Whispered threats of the Acta Sanctorum’s return have the supernatural world abuzz. Only recently aware of the other world hidden behind our own, Kitara Vanders has barely scratched the surface of what being supernatural truly means. A special woman in her own right, she possesses unique telepathic abilities, gifts that have recently come under the scrutiny of the Acta Sanctorum, a fanatical organization whose mission is to cleanse the world of anything supernatural. Targeted, and marked for death, Kitara’s only hope lies with the lethally seductive yet emotionally scarred warrior, Nicholas.

Knowing full well the atrocities the Acta Sanctorum is capable of, Nicholas is all too eager for the battle to begin. Fueled by pain and rage from the loss of his mate, he’s itching for a fight, but one thing stands in his way, Kitara: a beautiful dark-haired woman with unique psychic abilities and an unusual link to the Saints. Despite his resolve to remain focused on his mission, a purely physical relationship binds them together in a way neither of them expected.

Burden of Reckoning

by:

Kathi S. Barton

Aaron's Kiss Series Book 4

Review copy provided by author.

Synopsis:

Sam Hunter lived a double life. On the surface she was a baker, but behind the scenes she smuggled people away from abusive situations. Being the owner of Sam’s Baked Goods gave her a place to call home, a place that was untouched by her secret life. Tucker James was a vampire fleeing from his cruel maker. He came to Aaron’s Kiss in hopes of swearing allegiance to Aaron MacManus and becoming a member of his Kiss. He just wanted to be a part of a realm of vampires that didn’t starve their subjects and beat them. Sam’s peaceful life is shattered when her secret life comes back to haunt her in her own shop. To protect an innocent, Sam winds up shot and loses consciousness. Sara MacManus, Aaron’s mate, just happened to be there when things went bad. She sensed Sam’s powers and had Sam taken to Aaron’s Kiss. Sam was dyeing and the only thing that would save her was blood, vampire blood. From the moment he caught her scent, Tucker knew that Sam was his mate—the very beautiful dying woman lying on the bed needed his blood—and while he wanted her with every fiber of his being, keeping her safe wasn’t an option. His own maker wanted him back. With Sam’s special brand of magic she can save the big vampire but he isn’t ready to take it. He’s terrified of Marta, his maker, and not so much what she’ll do to him but what she could and would do to his very lovely, stubborn mate.

Review:

Sam and Hunter's story is one of my favorites. As always Kathi did not disappoint with this story. It has the perfect mix of romance, action, and of course smut! What's a good Kathi S. Barton book without smut? I don't know about you all but I love Kathi mostly because she is a wonderful person who writes marvelous books for all of us to read but also because she is so good at writing the "smut" scenes as well.
