Mature love in the public spotlight was pulled off by the incomparable Kristen Ashley.  Smart addictive writing kept me turning the pages till the wee hours.

Finally! The book our beautiful Darius DESERVED!!! From the moment I heard the voice of Darius, via the narration of Jim Frangione, I had instant tears. After all these years... after all the Black Dagger Brotherhood has been through... to hear where it all began... well, my aching-pounding heart has been healed. I didn't know how much emotion this would bring. I am still wiping away the tears. A masterful addition that has, in my opinion, made the BDB series whole. Once again this proves the skill and endearing passion Ward holds for her creations. Perfection. And I am so happy to have it in hardcover prominently placed at the head of my BDB collection. ~Tanja *ARC provided by Gallery Books From the Cover...

It's like lying in a warm bed every time I get to open a Darynda Jones book. Seriously. She is one of my favorite comfort authors. She brings it each and every time. From her lush landscapes of dusty motorways to the drive and pull of her romances, I'll always be a fan. I can't wait till readers get The Grave Robber in their hands. A smart and sexy adventure into the afterlife. ~Tanja From the Cover... Eric Vause is done. Done with ghosts. Done with hellhounds. And definitely done with asshole demons, mostly because he’d been possessed by one. Even now, five years later, the rage he absorbed from the creature has yet to wane, so he decides a road trip is in order. Surely some cool air, great scenery, and a case of Dos Equis will shake things loose. Unfortunately, supernatural events happen everywhere. When he meets up with a friend whose partner’s daughter needs help with a pest problem—aka, a ghost—Eric takes that as his cue to leave. Until he sees her. He can tell Halle’s...

And just like that, I'm entirely invested. Thankfully this surpassed the hype. My book of the summer for sure! I can't wait till Iron Flame releases in November. Go get it. ~Tanja Fourth Win on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3sckjRy Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general―also known as her tough-as-talons mother―has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.
