You know how you hop from foot to foot and try not to think about waterfalls when you really need to go to the bathroom? Well if you subtract the hopping from foot to foot and avoidance of waterfall thoughts, that's how I feel about all the February book releases coming up. I can't wait!
Rebel by Callie Hart: February 9- this is the 7th installment in the Blood & Roses Series that began with the Zeth and Sloan story. If you have not read the first 6 installments of the BR series, Ima have to treat you like the girl in school who was surreptitiously rotating her finger between her nose and her mouth. I'm not going to go into all the details of the first six books but you can find my Amazon review here: LJ BR 1-6 Amazon Review
In the event that you're not in the mood for link clicking, Zeth and Sloan's story might be my favorite of the erotic romance action/suspense genre. In fact, I'm sure it's my favorite series. Zeth is a alpha sociopath who knows what to do with a popsicle (ya gotta read it). Sloan is a smart heroine who still managed to ride for her man no matter what. Sloan and Zeth are trying to get Sloan's sister Alexa back after she was sold as a sex slave and mayhem, killing fires and panty incinerating sex ensues. That brings us to Rebel. Rebel is the story of said kidnapped sister and the president of the most powerful MC who purchased Alexa. If Rebel is just a quarter as good as the first six BR books, I'm all in. You know I'll spill all the book tea as soon as I can work my speed reader magic and devour the story. Needless to say, I canNot wait.
Obligation by Aurora Rose Reynolds: February 11- I'm not quite as 'need to pee' about this book. Actually, I'm not sure I need to use the bathroom at all thinking about this book. This is Reynolds' second installment in her "Underground Kings" series. The fist installment, Assumption, left me feeling like I could have had a V8. It had the potential to be good. The main characters were hot. Kenton was just the brand of brooding/possessive that cooks my grits and what's her face wasn't a total idiot/pushover so I was prepared to be wowed. And then I wasn't. The book fell into the very common pitfall of undeveloped relationships. It was one of those books where you get to the end and you canNOT figure out what the two main characters have in common beyond sex. HOWEVER, Aurora wrote the "Until" series and notwithstanding Unitl Nico, I ate that series up (although, all the books in the series felt a bit rushed in terms of the relationship development. See my review of Unitl November here: LJ Until November Amazon Review ). So I'm going to take a leap of faith and see whether Aurora can remind me of why I've spent a quarter of a hundred dollars on her books so far.
Slow Burn by K.Bromberg: February 24- K. Bromberg is the author of The Driven Series featuring Colton and Rylee. Again, if you haven't read that series, please log off immediately and head to the nearest bookstore or pull out your Kindle and GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER. If I bit my nails, I would be chewing the fuck out of them waiting for Slow Burn. As excited as I am to read it (I've already taken the day off work...because that's how I roll), there is a potential for disaster. When the Driven Series came out, K. Bromberg was an independent writer who produced a great love story. Now K. Bromberg is a super duper-everybody's damn list-bestseller. She has a publishing company which comes with editors, page requirements and deadlines. All of that shit can make your writing...less than stellar. So right now, we need to join hands and rebuke the "commercial effect" and pray that we can once again bask in the erotic glory of the Driven Series. Whatever the case may be, I'm giving this 5 out of 5 stars on the need to pee excitement list.
