Underwear model Max Fever has a problem. He’s just become the Pixie Prince and his inheritance includes big golden wings that won’t let him sleep on his back. Max has to find a soft mattress or spend the rest of his days with a bruised behind. An enigmatic waiter named Marty takes Max to club Carpe Noctem to meet a vampire who has a space foam mattress. Max falls in love with the mattress and its owner, vampire Bliss Wilde. Will the tragic pasts of Bliss’ brother and Max’s best friend become a roadblock to their bonding?

Have you ever read something and you were left speechless? The good kind of speechless? Well, that is how I am feeling right now. I’m not sure that words could do this story or this author justice. Marty and Max are two incredible characters, Carpe Noctem is a vampire lovers wet dream! Max is sexy!!! I feel in love with him the moment I met him (if only in real life…sigh) and he kept charming me. Marty is a woman on a mission. Secondary characters can be tricky to pull off in a story, especially one so short, but Ms. Valentine did a wonderful job. The secondary characters played a major role in this story. The tension, the twists, the turns, will take your breath away. The reader will never expect the next wave of desire and the sex will blow your mind and leave you panting for more. I just can’t say enough about this story and I just can’t express in words how much I loved it!

Hands down my favorite paranormal story of 2009!! If you don’t check this story out…and you are a paranormal reader…than it’s your loss. You won’t read a story like this again!

Review:

Gail longs for a mate but is picky about who she dates. Jason knows she’s his mate, but can their differences be overcome by love? The dangers of a wild wolf pack throw two unlikely felines together because there’s safety in numbers, right?

Opposites Attract is a very satisfying read on many levels. First, you have the incredible characters. Second, you have the unique plot, and last, the steamy scenes between Jason and Gail. Both characters are very rounded and very different than most characters in other paranormal books. These two characters seem so real to me, they are easy to relate to…well other than the paranormal part of their make. But the way they act towards one another and what lies ahead of them. They jump off the page at you and hold your attention until the very end. It’s a great book and the author Mary Alice Pritchard did an extraordinary job, she’s a new author to me and I can’t wait to see more from her in the future.

Review:

A romance you can sink your teeth into.

"Lucern." Successful biographer of family, books recently categorized as "paranormal romance." Something of a recluse. Hates crowds, aggressive women. Doesn't like sunbathing, garlicky dinners or religious symbols. Likes old-fashioned values; spicy Mexican dishes; warm, nice-smelling neck; and plump red lips. Stronger than ten men and can vanish in the blink of an eye. Currently unaware he's seeking a woman to share eternity.

"Kate C. Leever." Newest editor of Romance at Roundhouse Publishing. Perky, fun. Has recently discovered a legacy author just dying to be broken out. In fact, her career could take off from it. (The tall, dark, handsome writer just needs to be taken to several romance conventions and introduced to his fans . . . and stopped from acting so strange in public.) Dislikes "difficult, rude, obnoxious, pig-headed writers." Currently she's met the man of her wildest dreams.

OH, DEAR.

First let me start by saying that this was a book full of laughter and wit between the characters. You have a grumpy 600-year-old vampire who writes romances. You have a new publisher trying to get this vampire to agree to a book tour. Lucern receives the letters Kate keeps sending him. His reply is always the same, No. Finally Kate decides to go to Canada to convince him in person. Lucern thinks that with time he will wear her down. He decides to agree to one thing. But the family has other ideas about the pair. Before Lucern realizes it Kate’s his lifemate and he’s agreed to go to a romantic convention where he will more than likely be the only man around with thousands of females wanting a piece of him. This story is tantalizing and enticing. The characters will capture your attention and enthrall you. It’s a perfect vampire romance to read. Ms. Sands gives the readers a new outlook on being a lifemate to a vampire. This family isn’t your typical family of vampires and they aren’t the typical vampires you see in movies and read in most books. They are unique and they have a very fascinating story about how they became vampires. If you want to find out read the books. The entire series is to DIE for. I really enjoyed the mix of emotions in this story; it was fully of passion, humor, and a great deal of desire. The secondary characters in the book played a major role; at times you would consider them to be major in the story. You can see now why there are so many books in this series, it’s a large family and even when the characters pop up in another story they desperately want there own. They want the readers to hear their story.
