Dragon Lover

Fire in His Blood by Ruby Dixon

by 3 Comments

I’m finally back at the book reviews just in time for Spring! Last year for Cannonball Read 11, I read Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians, which was a steamy hot tale of alien-human with a great mix of humor and heart. I discovered she has another set of books that involves DRAGONS!!! and picked up Fire in His Blood from the library. In the first book of the Fireblood Dragon series, we meet our main character Claudia in jail for scavenging outside the bounds of […]

Hunky blue aliens to the rescue

Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon

by Leave a Comment

Ice Planet Barbarians came highly recommended by The Ripped Bodice bookstore. The blue-skinned alien on the cover had me intrigued!  This is the first book of SEVENTEEN about a group of young women stranded on the said ice planet. Each introduces us to a different woman and a potential barbarian suitor. In this one, we meet Georgie on Earth where she is kidnapped in her sleep by some slave trading bobblehead aliens. Half the women are crowded in a cage while the other half sleep […]

Grimspace by Ann Aguirre

In this part of the universe, space travel requires a pilot and a special navigator like Sirantha to fly through the wormhole-esque grimspace. Ships can jump through the galaxies with these jumpers possessing […]

Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh

After reading Nalini Singh’s short story in Burning Up, I delved into her Archangel series starting with Angels’ Blood. The author celebrated a birthday on Sept 7th. I’m already on the third entry, so it was mere luck I was able to use this review for the Birthday #CBR11Bingo square. We are introduced to Elena Deveraux, a fierce vampire hunter who was born (or cursed according to her father) with the power to track vampires my scent. In this reality, angels are out in the […]

A supernatural murder mystery

Iron & Velvet (Kate Kane Paranormal Investigator #1) by Alexis Hall

by Leave a Comment

Iron & Velvet by Alexis Hall is a paranormal F/F romance mystery. I’m always up for anything paranormal with a broody detective, so this was right up my alley. Kate Kane is a private investigator for the supernatural underworld of London. Even though she has a fairy mother, she lives her life as a human, only calling on her untested powers for emergencies. The book opens with a werewolf’s murder outside an elite vampire club. Kate’s called onto the case by her ex-boyfriend Patrick who basically […]
