 For the last two years Ari’s life has been anything but normal and on her 18th birthday, when her friends surprise her with a gimmick genie claiming to grant wishes, Ari discovers the truth. The tragic and strange occurrences surrounding her 16th birthday were not coincidental and her life is never going to be the same again.

 Ari’s real parents are not normal. They are not loving. They are not human.

 They are myth.

 They are Smokeless Fire.

 They are Jinn!

 My Thoughts and Review

 Wow ! Loved love loved it !

This was the first moon I had read by Samantha Young and it was truly a treat to do so.It's a very unique story line, with some very awesome characters. I fell in love with the main character right away. The author has made such a believable cast of characters that it was easy to get sucked into all the craziness that's happening around them.Who would have thought to write a story about a Jinns !(They're basically like genies; "supernatural creatures in Arab folklore and Islamic teachings that occupy a parallel world to that of mankind." -from wikipedia.)

 Ari's life seems like the typical teenage girl's life, she soon gets swept into a whole other world she never believed existed: the world of the Jinn. As goes about learning of her true heritage, Ari must come to terms with who she really is and what it means for her. But nothing is ever simple and when the story progresses and as secrets unavel she finds herself in the middle of a power struggle that she wants nothing to do with. Ari wants to but,can't avoid her destiny forever and reluctantly begins to dive deeper into the world of the Jinn with the help of her Jinn Guardian, Jai, and her best friend, Charlie.

 I felt the characters were very like-able and had a well developed cast of characters. Smokeless Fire is the beginning to an incredible series surely to capture everyone’s heart as it did mine.I found the characters to be very unique and easy to fall in love with.I liked that the was a love triangle going on in the story which made it more of an exciting read for me.

 I can't say enough good things about the book.When reading some books you are drawn in from the beginning pages and this one did it for me. The first few pages I read and I was hooked.The book became quite the page turner and I couldn't but it down.The love triangle between Jai and Ari and Charlie couldn't have been better ,there is always one party who wants what they can't have ,when the sad thing is they had it all along and now it to late creating a heart wrenching drama throughout this whole story.

 This is a recommended read for the young and old. When the book was finished I was in awe and could wait to see what happens next! Went right to Amazon and downloaded book two and read the sequel into the midnight hours until I finished book two!Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

Book Review for The Wager- BBW Erotic Curvy Paranormal Romance (TOUCH OF THE GODS)



Touch of the Gods: Book 1 
The Wager

When love and war makes a little wager, what could possibly go wrong? I am Hephaestus. God of inventions, blacksmiths, and volcanoes. Sounds like I'm awesome right? Well, I'm not. In fact, I'm the loser of Olympus and a new bachelor to boot. Living the single life is great until a decade passed. Honestly if my divorce from the Goddess of Love wasn't bad enough, I am still being rejected by the other women of my home. Because of an incessant need to make me a pawn in his game, my brother, Ares convinces Eros to make a little bet. A wager that puts my lack of love life to the test. Sent to Earth, I'm skeptical, when suddenly I lose myself in the sensual scent and beauty of the full bodied Vanessa. She is my everything, my perfection. Sadly, from a single caress upon her silky flesh, I sent our lives into a downward spiral of hell. To save her, I must get beyond my demons of the past. And to save me, she will have to decide if I'm worth giving up everything for. 

 HOT EROTIC EXCERPT: 

 Without a word, she took her hands, her delicate fingers opening her folds, displaying the one place I was truly welcomed and digging my fingertips into her fleshy pelvis, I plunged back into her heat. No longer gentle, my hips swiveled, my other hand taking hold of her, stopping her own hips from arching up. I wanted to control how deep, how fast, and how much she would get. Despite not being able to fit all of my length inside her, I became familiar to how much she could take and pushed past that limit, until only half an inch of my skin was left without the cocoon of her sweet tender flesh. It was a small sacrifice, one that was lost as my power pulsed through my veins, the climax I'd held back, roaring to life, as the magma of a volcano before eruption. Both our bodies were coated from our exertions and stretching my abilities, I pushed into every exposed orifice she had, metaphysical fingers, probing and teasing. I heard her deep gasp, seconds before she shrieked out expletives with a "sweet Jesus and Mary", as her body convulsed, and her head thrashed from side to side on her pillow. A desperate delight filled Vanessa's pleading screams and helpless moans with an ecstasy that she may have believed brought her to a little bit of erotic orientated death.

My Thoughts and Review


My first read by D.X. Luc and it was an awesome one. A totally enjoyable read.I had so much fun reading this story it had me laughing quite thoroughly through out the whole book.I have never read a book concerning the Gods before thinking it will be quite boring but, I was so wrong.The characters were awesome both good and evil ones playing the game of cat and mouse between them with a mere mortal in the middle of the deceitful web of a game in play.

I start reading the book around 10 o'clock at night and could not put it down its now 3am and I am finally finished and thinking wow what and awesome book glad to have read it!I had been kind of down in the dumps of having surgery tomorrow and this read gave me the pick me up in needed.It was full with an interesting plot intriguing , interesting characters and broken God of sorts thinking will I ever find my one true love.

A bet led him into the mortal world to find his one true love !


Hephaestus: God of inventions, blacksmiths, and volcanoes. Looking for his "one".

Vanessa: Full bodied, regular gal. Doubts finding love when she's a big girl living in a thin person's world.

Ares: God of War and pain in his brother's side.

Eros: God of Love.

Willa: Vanessa's eccentric and loving younger sister.

These were the character above and there role they played.Vanessa will have to prove her worth in order to become a Goddess to be with Hephaestus but, there are continuing stumbling blocks in her way that she must overcome does she have what it takes? If not she will pay with her life and Die.When the story started out with so much heartache and pain for both lovers you thought that there is no hope at all you felt the pain of both parties but love is the best motivator there is to find love in happiness in one Gods immortal world!

My only thought was that Vanessa and her family were different from others of there mortal world did they have a secret of the own perhaps ?leaving we wondering a bit ? lol....

A Recommended read to all 18 + and over. Full of hot sex and with intriguing plot.And a twist that takes you for a surprise at the end but, a most enjoyable one ! Love Love Loved it !Looking forward to the next book in its series....

Three vampires. Separate destinies. All desiring a woman to love them for who they are not what they are.

 ALL TITLES ARE STANDALONE AND DO NOT NEED TO BE READ IN ANY ORDER.

 Vampire Forgotten
Book II

 Forgotten in the mountains of Romania. Forced to live a life he didn’t choose. Suffering the daily pain of loneliness. Spending an eternity without the touch of a woman’s hand.

 Though damned as a vampire, Rhad Valentine has been given what some might call the gift of psychic sight. He sees it as a constant reminder of real life going on without him—a life he cannot live.

 Mischa Bonovich is on a desperate mission to find her missing sister, Rianna. Led to the mountains of her homeland by the faint call of Rianna’s voice, Mischa needs Rhad’s gift and his strength.

 Wild hunger, both foreign and welcome, drives Rhad to his knees. He’d never held a woman so soft. Kissed one so responsive. And in spite of his inner protests, he’ll do anything to help her. Anything to feel just one more touch of her hand.

 In the dark forests of Romania, Rhad’s desire won’t be quenched until he tastes what only Mischa can offer, but first, he must save her from a man who has nothing to lose. A man who holds a deadly secret that could tear Mischa from Rhad’s arms before love can happen.
My Thoughts and Review

 Wow ! After reading Vampire Cursed I was so looking forward to the next in the series. I just love to read about sexy vampires.I loved it. For me it was a different kind of vampire story not like the others.Mischa to plans to go to Romania to find her missing sister she thinks a Vampire named Rhad has done something sinister to her sister.But, fate intervenes and she ends up on his door step half frozen and practically nude in nothing but a slip.Rhad is a vampire who has visions of things to come and he saw Mischa coming but, was shocked when encountering the real girl he has been dreaming about.The two get off to a rocky start as Mischa is distrustful and also believes the worse about vampires but, she cannot ignore the sparks the fly between them when they are together and is almost and overwhelming feeling.

 The two set out on a adventure together getting to know one another forming and bond and learning to trust. Mischa has no idea someone is seeking her and she is in danger she thinks she is just there to find her missing sister.Danger lurks !Rhad knows that after being with Mischa that she is the one who he needs to share his lonely life with he just needs to get her to see the real him and not the vampire only.You learn in more detail about Rhad and about his torturous dreams he never wanted this life but, this is what he has and he is living it on his own terms.As the story unfolds you learn that there destinies cross and are linked with the past.

 The story overall was and enjoyable read for me.Mischa had me laughing quite a few times in her conversations with Rhad she had quick whit and some really good come backs had me laughing out loud.The characters were like-able and having a shaman for a grandfather was a nice touch something out of the ordinary.Rhad's character had you feeling his pain and loneliness hoping that Mischa is the one who will heal him and give him a bright future he so deserves. I was rooting for him in the back of my mind.The adventure wasn't wrought with much danger as many stories have but this story flowed in a different way making that okay. My only thought that I found that I missed as these books are stand alone ones is a Epilogue I would have liked to have seen a peek into there future of the two of them...

 A Recommended Read although there are other mixed reviews by others I loved it. Rachel Carrington is on my list of authors to read..........

After years of brutal torture, Callum MacKinloch is finally free of his captors--but his voice is still held prisoner. He'd never let anyone hear him scream.Although Lady Marguerite de Montpierre's chains may be invisible, they threaten to tie her to a loveless and cruel marriage.

 When Marguerite discovers Callum waiting to die, her heart aches for the warrior beneath the suffering--but they can have no future. Yet she is the one woman with the power to tame the rage locked inside him. Maybe he can find another reason to live...for her.

 My Thoughts

 Wow is all I have to say ! What and amazing read this story was. I have to say that it was a delight as I have not read a story about Highland Warriors in sometime and those a my kind of stories.I can't really say enough good things this about this story. It had me laughing and crying throughout the book so many times that a some point I went for the tissue box because the tears continually fell.

Callum being held a Prisoner for so many years and finding a bright light in is tortured past with Marguerite made me hope for a future for the wounded sole. From the beginning you new this couple were destined to be together but knowing it was going to be a twist of fate to make it happen.

 This book is a love story where two people so opposite in there stations of life don't have a thing in common with one another. When Callum thought he had lost his love he set out to win her heart and her love by any means he can. The couple couple take you on a treacherous path of intrigue and danger and also vengeance but also healing and friendship and and finding one's sole mate.

 Loved most all the character in this story and we saw characters from others it its series. I am a series loving girl so this series that Michelle has penned is a great treat for me. Loved it and oh what a surprise ending that I never saw coming a true delight. If Michelle continues to write stories like this she will have and even bigger fan than she already has. This is a recommended read to all and its series.
