As luck would have it, the job fair yields a job offer for one of the most respectable businesses in the city.  Now, just go ahead and take a guess who her boss is.  Come on....guess!  Yup,  Dane Rainier is now her new boss.

 If you are looking for an easy read with only a dash of angst, then this book is for you.     

I have to say that I liked this book much more than I thought I would. While the book is part of a series, it comes to a definite end and can be read as a stand-alone novel.

In a world where vampires are known only as a myth, Mihaela is a hunter. She hunts and kills vampires in an attempt to keep society safe. She began training as a little girl, after her parents and baby sister were killed by a vampire. She doesn't like or trust vampires. But with the awakening of an ancient vampire, it is suddenly a new world.

Vampires are now working with hunters and human deaths by vampire have drastically dropped. It is because of this new detente that Mihaela finds herself working with the notorious vampire Maximilian.

Mihaela and Maximilian do not trust each other but can't deny the sexual attraction between them. Mihaela is driven by years of hatred toward vampires and can't seem to completely trust Maximilian, with good reason. Maximilian, aka, Maximilian the Betrayer has betrayed those he loved the most.

I really found myself enjoying the story and liked the lore Marie Treanor established. Her vampires aren't all powerful but believably flawed. Of course there is a big, bad enemy they must defeat. But I see the need for a villain, as it drives the lore and plot line.

I gave it four stars and recommend the book as a pleasant read

Becca has a thrilling weekend with a Marine, named Zac, that she meets at her sister's wedding.  They have a great time and part ways.  However, Becca is left with a lot more than just steamy memories.  Nine months later she is raising a their child alone, as Becca believes that Zac has been killed in the line of duty.   

Flash forward seven years later.  Becca walks into apartment to find Zac fighting with their so-called nanny.  Becca's world is turned upside down as she is thrown in a world of secret espionage. 

Zac has been watching Becca and their son Parker from afar (only slightly creepy).  He has secretly been providing for them throughout the years through various avenues; a great apartment that has unbelievably cheap rent, money found in the elevator, winning a car, etc.  It was the only way he could provide financially for them without Becca becoming suspicious.  He has stayed away to ensure their safety, until he realizes they are in danger and he must save them.

Now, one interesting turn in this book is that Zac has um....supernatural or psychic abilities.  He intuition is always spot on and he has out of body experiences during times of extreme stress.  It also seems that Parker has inherited some of his dad's supernatural mojo.  At first I was intrigued how this would play out in the story, only to be let down in the end.  It went nowhere.  Zac has these abilities, only for them to fail fantastically when he needs them the most. Okay.  So why even bother if it doesn't drive or add to the story?  In my opinion, the whole psychic thing was a dead end that only detracted from the story. 

The lemony scenes were....alright.  Becca has a spanking fetish.  Since she has no man to speak of, she surfs the internet and lives vicariously through spanking and submission websites/blogs.  To feel sexually satisfied she takes matters into her own hands so to speak.  How do we, as the reader,  know this? Well not dead, psychic, creepy stalker Zac has placed some cameras in her apartment and monitors her "cummings" and goings frequently.  That's just weird.  The sex scenes were somewhat awkwardly placed.   It almost read as the story was written and the sex scenes were added as an afterthought. 

I really wanted to like this book, but it just didn't do it for me.  I give it 2.5 stars. 

Elena Bardot's father has been running a Ponzi scheme that came crashing down.  As a result, Elena Bardot has been run out of town by the press and is in hiding.  With no place else to go, Elena retreats to a secluded home to finish her dissertation for her Ph.D.  This home just happens to be owned by the family of one of her father's co-conspirators.  Enter Alex Wolfe.

Alex Wolfe is recently released from prison, having been convicted of insider trading.  He is seeking a quite life at home in order to regroup from the scandal that ruined his family name.  Alex is determined to salvage what is left of his family's businesses and reclaim in rightful place.

At first sight Alex knows who Elena is immediately.  Although he is angered by her presence he agrees to let her stay to finish her work.  The two share an immediate and undeniable connection.  Just too bad that connection doesn't include trusting each other.    

I liked the premise of the book.  A sort of misery loves company coupling between two consenting adults.  I also liked how we see both points of view in the story.  The story progressed nicely.  There was no immediate love at first sight.  Lust at first sight yes, but no wedding bells were ringing.  I was very pleased with the character development.  Each had their own misgivings but, through the progression of their relationship, worked through them.  I recommend this book and give it four stars.  Happy reading smut puppies. 

Mine to hold is the third book in Cynthia Eden's Mine series.  While it is a stand alone novel, it does occasionally reference events that happened in previous books.  This is the first book I have read in the Mine series and I was able to successfully follow the book.  Best of all, kiddies, it does not have a cliffhanger ending.

Claire has a troubled past that she is constantly trying to escape. However, her past will not let her go.  At the end of her rope, penniless and homeless, she turns to Noah York for help. 

Noah is a yummy alpha to the extreme.  He is delightfully controlling and uses his power and wealth to protect Claire. 

The novel kept me guessing to the end.  I will definitely be checking out other books by Cynthia Eden.  Overall I five this book 3.5 stars.

If you like David Sedaris or Augusten Burroughs then Sam Harris needs to be next on your reading list.  A memoir fused with humor and life lessons (Sam's fatherly advise can be a lesson for us all) is a great way to spend the day. 

Harris give us a look into his struggles and joys and everyday experiences.  His chapter introducing his son is truly brilliant.  I really enjoyed this book and will even give it another read at a later date.  I give this book 4 stars with a strong recommendation to read. 

Amy Benson is running. From whom, she doesn't know. Why,she doesn't know. All she knows is when she sees a familiar symbol on a note telling her to get out of town, she leaves everything behind and gets on a plane.

This novel is the first in an on-going series. The book's main character hops a plane in order to begin a new life. While waiting for her flight she meets Liam Stone. Liam is a wealthy architect and has his eyes set on Amy.

Amy keeps her secrets close to her heart and has a hard time trusting anyone. That is until she meets Liam. Liam's charm and determination begin to inevitably break down Amy's barriers. Slowly Amy lets Liam in, but should she? She begins to wonder does Liam have an ulterior motive?

***WARNING*** THIS BOOK DOES END IN A CLIFFHANGER. You have now been forewarned.

I enjoyed this book and really liked the style of writing. Although, I began to be bothered by Amy's should I, shouldn't I? Overall, I give this book four stars.
