Shameless: House of Vipera by Laura Wright
Chosen as a member of the harem by the Three was not Rosamund’s plan.  She wanted a normal life with a human husband and family.  Rosamund had stumbled across a little know clause that stated if a Nephilim was not selected by an Incubus within the first year, she will be released.   Free to return to her little apartment, Roger and a normal life.  Enters Scarus the leader of the House of Vipera who needs to recharge his energy and only a Nephilim from the harem will do the job.  He had been betrayed before by a Nephilim that had stolen his son and caused the child’s death.  All he needed was to recharge, nothing else.  Rosamund had been deliberately disguising herself to look as horrible as possible so when Scarus selects her for the night she is devastated.  When he had selected her all he had seen were her beautiful eyes and he had felt the tremendous power in her blood. Instant attraction and want will it be enough?  Will the two find what both are searching for?  Must read book!

Ruthless: House of Xanthe by Alexandra Ivy

When Jian arrived at the fortress to investigate the strange happenings he is met with a place that seems deserted with only a minimal staff.  Jian also discovers an open door way between the fortress and another dimension.  He meets Muriel the keeper of the Oubliette and an angel in disguise.  She has all the answers that he needs but refuses to give them to him.  There is an imbalance between the dimensions that does not bode well for the Incubus.  Will Jian and Muriel work together?  Can they deny their attraction to each other?  An angel and an incubus together, is that possible? Read the book and find out!

Would I recommend this book: Yes! Even though this is a collections of quick reads, it is packed full of passion and suspense.  I look forward to the continuation of the Masters of Seduction coming out Winter of 2014.

Would I recommend this author: Yes! This is a collection of four outstanding authors that are among my first to go to for a Great Paranormal Read!  They always create beautiful worlds that are filled with paranormal embellishments that are pure entertainment!
