Willow Delton is a skinny, bakery owner – the type most woman love to hate. Being without family, she finds herself alone to the Greek god with green eyes who saunters into her bakery every morning. Her desire to follow him, to be with him, overrides every rational sense she possessed.
Jasper and Willow are drawn together, despite every nuisance that works against them.

Recommendation: Charmed Spirit (Book 1 Holiday, Montana series) by Carrie Ann Ryan
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

BLURB:
Jordan Cross has returned to Holiday, Montana after eleven long years to clear out her late aunt’s house, put it on the market, and figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life. Soon, she finds herself facing the town that turned its back on her because she was different. Because being labeled a witch in a small town didn’t earn her many friends … especially when it wasn’t a lie.
Matt Cooper has lived in Holiday his whole life. He’s perfectly content being a bachelor alongside his four single brothers in a very small town. After all, the only woman he’d ever loved ran out on him without a goodbye. But now Jordan’s back and just as bewitching as ever. Can they rekindle their romance with a town set against them?
Warning: Contains an intelligent, sexy witch with an attitude and drop-dead gorgeous man who likes to work with his hands, holds a secret that might scare someone, and really, really, likes table tops for certain activities. Enough said.
REVIEW:
I really enjoyed Charmed Spirits. Carrie Ann has given us a great start to the Holiday, Montana series.
Felt for both Matt & Jordan as both had their own demons to try and deal with. Great characters and you just know the Cooper Brothers are gonna provide us with loads of interesting tales.

New Release, Review & Recommendation – Love In Electric Blue by Marie Harte
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

BLURB:
It’s more than chemistry, more than love: it’s electric.
Remy Davis does her best to live in the now, never sure when she’ll be forced to run again. She loves her work at Buchanan Investigations—there’s no better place for a woman with her special talent for controlling electricity—but she knows better than to let down her guard. And then everything changes when a man from her past, the man she never stopped loving, reappears in her life.
J.D. never thought he’d see the girl he’d once loved, the woman he thought had betrayed him. The chemistry he and Remy once felt is as strong as ever. Old wounds need time to heal, but time is running out on second chances.
A villain bent on returning them to his twisted experiments has resurfaced. But this time J.D. won’t let Remy face the madman alone: he’ll harness every ounce of his abilities to rescue the one woman who turns electric in his arms.
REVIEW:
‘Love in Electric Blue’ is book 3 in the Westlake Enterprises series from the extremely talented Marie Harte…..
This is Remy & J.D’s story. Both are IT specialist working for private investigation firms – Remy with Buchanan Investigations and J.D with Westlake Enterprises. As with the other employees at both companies, the pair have psychic abilities – in this case both can manipulate electricity!!
With a joint history that, in the main, isn’t a happy one, Remy & J.D are thrown together again when both of their lives are threatened by a common enemy.
There is a lot of pain & hurt, a distinct lack of trust, misunderstandings, regret and a not small amount of conflicted feelings that the pair need to plow wheir way through before they can work together to ensure their safety. Sparks fly (quite literally) in this Westlake adventure and things start to heat up quickly!
The bad guy has a serious screw loose and isn’t going to give up easily… There’s a lot of action, mystery, suspense, a few twists and a touch of violence. As we’ve come to expect from Marie, there’s also laugh out load humour, a load of passion, lust & attraction as well as some really hot down and dirty action!!!
Remy & JD are a great, well matched couple and I really enjoyed reading their story. We meet up with some familiar – Max, Cole, Luc and Thorne from Buchanans as well as Hunter & Jurek from Westlake to name a few! I love this series and hopefully Marie will bring us more books following our other favourite Buchanan & Westlake characters…
If you fancy a good, entertaining read with more than an edge of tension & tons of heat pick up the Westlake Enterprise series and enjoy!!!

Recommendation – Storming His Heart (Westlake Enterprises Book #2) by Marie Harte
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

STORMING HIS HEART ~ Westlake Enterprises
BLURB:
Storm Buchanan’s talent for mind control comes in hands as an investigator for a private agency, but it’s hell on her love life. Men bow to her every whim, so there’s no challenge. Where’s the fun in that?
Maybe that’s why she can’t trust herself around Rafe Savage. The smug, sexy, annoying investigator for a rival firm is the one man who seems impervious to her power. Worse, when he kisses her, she all-too-willingly slips under his control.
Rafe’s gift for seeing the future doesn’t usually blindside him…until it comes to Storm. The beautiful seductress assaults his control on all fronts, and the spontaneous flashes of her life in danger have his every instinct on alert.
When attempts on both their lives escalate, Storm and Rafe must stick together to find a madman bent on vengeance. While it’s no surprise that their enforced proximity has their bodies going up in flames, neither expects lust to melt into love. Or that they’ll need every ounce of their combined skills to fight for a future that could die before it’s born.

Recommendation – BEWITCH (VET book 5) by Felicity Heaton
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

BLURB:
A vampire with a past stained with blood and a soul tainted with darkness, he is perfect in his self-control, never surrendering to his darkest desires. Now a beautiful witch in the shadowy fae underworld threatens to reawaken long denied hungers and tempts him with carnal pleasure.
Payne despises the incubus side of his mixed genes and refuses to give it free rein, but when the wickedly sexy Elissa offers him a possible way to help a friend, he finds it difficult to resist paying the price, even if it will be his undoing—one night of passion at her command.
Elissa is a witch down on her luck until Payne comes crashing into her life. The dangerously handsome male is the key to fulfilling a promise she made, but he is also forbidden, and surrendering to the wildfire passion he stirs within her means risking ruin and death.
When one incredible night of fulfilling their deepest fantasies leads to more than just a pathway to keeping a promise and saving a friend, will they be able to overcome the barriers that stand between them and forever?

RECOMMENDATION – To Hunt A Sainte (Book 1, Westlake Entreprises Series) by Marie Harte
Posted by Book Loving Pixies

BLURB:
Telekinetic Alexandra Sainte is through serving time behind a desk at Buchanan Investigations. She’s more than ready to prove she’s capable of fieldwork, if only her uncle will give her the chance. Tired of waiting, she turns a sudden opportunity into something more.
Her unauthorized raid of a suspected kidnapper’s office goes off without a hitch—mostly—but as she makes her escape, she sees a pair of golden eyes watching her every move. Eyes that spark erotic dreams of a dark stranger taking her in ways that make her blush.
There’s a reason Hunter Greye can’t take his gaze off the sticky-fingered woman he catches ruining his investigation. She fights like a warrior. She bears a striking resemblance to a string of kidnapping victims. And she stirs a wildness within him he thought he’d learned to control a long time ago. She’s a dangerous distraction he can’t afford.
Thrown together in an undercover operation to find the mastermind behind the kidnappings, Alex and Hunter fall in lust, in love, and in danger. Only by trusting each other can they save the girl…and each other.

New Release & Recommendation – UNLEASH (VET series #6) by Felicity Heaton
Posted by Book Loving Pixies
UNLEASH – VET #6
BY FELICITY HEATON

REVIEW:
I’ve been a big fan on the VET series from Felicity Heaton since I read the first book, Covet!!
UNLEASH is SNOW’S story and is, sadly, the 6th and final book involving the Vampirerotique Theatre and the group of vampires that live and work there! Fans of Felicity’s books & the girls over at her Mistress of Midnight Street Team have waited a good while for the big guys story but gods, I’m sure they’d all agree it was well worth it!!!!
Snow has been involved in each of the VET characters books from the beginning and we have watched as he fought hard to overcome his bloodlust & try to lead as good & quiet a life as he could – not easy to live when you need to be chained hand and foot to a bed on an almost daily basis to avoid hurting yourself and/or others!!!
In Unleash we find out about Snow’s past, what has happened in his very long life and the tragic events that led to him being so tortured & haunted. We discover why his brother, Antoine, worries about him so much and we find that there may just be a small glimmer of hope for his future!!!
This is a true love story – however, it was no bed of roses or all heart and flowers!!!- No – reading Snow’s story was absolutely heartbreaking at times!! I cried (a lot) from nearly the beginning of the book and used up a not so small pile of tissues throughout!!! Aurora – Snow’s lady love – is not what you’d expect and she has quite a sad tale to tell too!
I was so torn about the fact that Snow’s story was the final book in the series as, while I was desperate to read it, I was sad that this was the end of our time with everyone at the theatre…. Thankfully, Felicity has hinted that this might not be the last we that we come across our vampires and their ‘family’!!
We get a chance to see all of our favourite characters for one last time!! This was a fabulous finale to a wonderful series and for me it’s a definite 5* read
While you could most likely read Unleash as a standalone , I honestly think that to enjoy it fully you should read the rest of the series in order. Hope you love them as much as I did!!!!
** I was very fortunate to receive an ARC copy of Unleash from Felicity Heaton in exchange for an honest review**

Review & Recommendation – UNLEASH (VET Book #6) by Felicity Heaton
Posted by Book Loving Pixies
UNLEASH – VET Book #6 – by FELICITY HEATON

BLURB
Enter the dark, sinful and seductive world of the vampire owners of London’s premier vampire erotic theatre, Vampirerotique, and discover how these powerful vampires are brought to their knees by the women who claim their hearts.
A powerful vampire lost deep in his bloodlust, Snow is a savage animal, mindless with rage and a thirst for violence, and trapped with no hope of awakening from an endless nightmare… until a song draws him up from the abyss, restoring his sanity but leaving him haunted by the sweet feminine scent of lilies and snow, and fragmented familiar lyrics.
When the mysterious and beautiful songstress reappears in Snow’s room at Vampirerotique, she awakens a fierce protective streak and stirs dark desires that drive him to claim her as his female, even when he knows his touch will destroy her innocence.
A single forbidden taste is all it takes to unleash emotions in Aurora that she shouldn’t possess, tearing her between duty and desire, and luring her into surrendering to her wildfire passion and embracing hungers that burn so hotly they threaten to consume them both.
One act of kindness can lead to one thousand acts of sin though, each a black mark against the bearer’s soul and another grain of sand that slips through an hourglass. The clock is ticking and time is almost up. Can beauty save the beast?
