Review
On a luxury liner, filled with rich people waiting to watch a star go nova, Charis Sur is assigned to covertly protect one of the most important of the VIPs. He is, however, already being guarded by Jason Narak, who Charis never wants to see again. In an atmosphere of political intrigue, and with a strange alien presence onboard, personal interests quickly give way to the urgency of a situation that may affect the entire galaxy. And for Charis and Jason, feline Mosaics, the fact that she’s suddenly in heat isn’t helping matters.For such a short story, Kim Knox packs a lot of romance and action into her plot. The main characters are likeable and interesting, and the storyline fascinating. Most of the other characters are just what you’d expect from people who would have a huge party while a star dies.If you read this book, plan to read it in one sitting, because it’s very difficult to pull away. There is no moment of downtime as Charis and Jason navigate the corridors of the INS Padigion while trying to deal with their history together. This was my first Kim Knox book, but I went right to her website to see what other delights await. (Don’t miss the free reads there, too!)

Sheila writes romance but doesn't have it in her real life. Her editor wants her to write erotica but she honestly doesn't know where to start. Then Lucien walks into her book signing. He's twenty years her junior and his invite for coffee is not only sincere but full of heat. She's drawn to him and the sexy promises he has no trouble making and keeping. But when he seems a little… more, Sheila starts to question exactly who and what Lucien is even as she is drawn deeper into his life.

I am a fan of any vampire book that makes their source of sustenance more creative and sexy than blood. Vampires with an absolute need to go down on their partner is ingenious to me. Ms. Neely drew me right in and there was nothing I didn't like about Wicked Destiny. The back-up characters were sexy and interesting and I would have been happy to read the story all day long, but for such a shortie it had everything to keep me a happy camper. I give Wicked Destiny five smacks because I think anyone who likes short and hot will love it. It's a quick read and worth every sweaty minute.

Review: If anyone should know, a Prima Lux vampire, heir to her father’s throne, should know. Werewolves make great servants and pretty good bodyguards, but that’s it. One doesn’t feed off them or, heaven forbid, fall in love with them. But that’s just what’s happening between Lia and Jericho in this story, and between their taboo love and the assassination attempts going on in the background, things don’t look good for any kind of happily ever after. Are we looking at another Romeo and Juliet incident??

This was a nice little fast moving story. I was worried about what would happen in then end, with all the action going on around Lia and Jericho. There were a few nice spicy scenes that illustrated just how hot things can be between two people who really want each other. I’d recommend this story for a nice sultry afternoon.
