Kindred Kraze - Found!

We continue on our adventures with the Kindred as they battle bad guys, make ladies swoon, or swear and generally make us fall for them.

A warrior with a scarred heart who doesn't know how to love. And the woman who must teach him how before it’s too late…

The son of the evil AllFather, Xairn is filled with conflicting emotions. On one hand, he has finally gained his freedom and cut the ties that bound him to his race and the sadistic male who is his father. But doing so has unleashed feelings in him Xairn would rather keep buried. Desires that he prayed would never manifest now rage through him and they are centered on one woman alone…

Lauren Jakes is the long lost cousin Liv and Sophie never knew they had. Abducted by the Scourge, she formed a connection with Xairn more meaningful than any other in his life. But though Lauren thinks she knows him, there is more to the huge Scourge warrior than she comprehends. A nightmare childhood and a cruel father have scarred Xairn’s heart almost past the point of healing. But that is nothing to the secret inside him—the forbidden desires coded into his very DNA itself, which urge him to commit unspeakable acts in order to sate his newly awakened hunger.

Now a conflict is brewing—both in Xairn’s soul, and aboard the Fathership where the twisted AllFather has hatched a new, malicious plot to bring his estranged son home. Can Xairn resist the brutal lust growing within him? Can he fight against his very nature which urges him to dominate and control any female he mates? Can Lauren heal his heart before the AllFather’s trap closes on both of them?

And can she teach him how to love before it’s too late?

Yay! So glad to have gotten to this one. Cause you see little hints about Xairn as we go through the beginning of the series. And you sit there and cross your fingers and hope that Xairn turns out to be a good guy. Lauren is totally the girl for him. I really enjoyed this one. Well, not like I've disliked any of them :-p but I was not disappointed with Xairn's story. Definitely a little edgier then the previous ones. Which totally fit the characters. Don't miss this one, seriously. Smokin hot kinkiness to be had.

Kindred Kraze - Sought!!

Today we dive back into the world of Kindred Warriors and their brides!

One Woman, Two Hot Guys, A Galaxy of Problems…

Kat O’Connor is no pushover. She’s a no nonsense girl with a commonsense approach to life. But there’s nothing common about what’s happening to her lately…

First she was forced to have a kinky mind ménage with two of the hottest and most irritating men in the galaxy—Twin Kindred warriors, Deep and Lock—in order to locate her kidnapped friend. Then she couldn’t get their feelings out of her head. And now she’s on her way to their home planet, Twin Moons, to find a cure for the debilitating illness their unorthodox joining caused, when all she really wants to do is go home.

Locks Tight, the light twin of the two, is already in love with Kat. Her curvy plus-sized body is the epitome of beauty on his home planet and her sharp mind makes her doubly attractive. But though he fell for her the moment he saw her, Twin Kindred are unable to mate a woman alone. Lock knows nothing can happen between them without his brother…

Stabs Deep. The dark twin has a secret agony in his past—a tragedy he feels he and he alone is to blame for. He too, hungers for Kat, but he hides his fear of rejection behind an impenetrable wall of angry sarcasm. For if he lets anyone get too close, the unbearable pain he has already endured once may happen again.

Now Kat and her twin warriors are on a quest—but they’re all looking for different things. Kat wants to find a way to dissolve the half-formed bond between them so she can be alone in her own head again. Lock wants to convince both her and his brother to complete the bond which will keep them together forever. And Deep is trying to protect his heart and love Kat from afar…though it grows more and more difficult to deny the hunger he feels for her growing inside him.

Their travels will take them from the uncharted wilds of Twin Moons to the Deadworld of the Scourge home planet. Will Kat find a cure for having other people’s emotions crowding her mind? Will Lock convince his brother and the woman they both love that they’re all meant to be together forever? And will Deep ever unshield his heart long enough to let Kat in?

Okay here we go!! First off, I can't express enough how cool it was to read a book where the female lead isn't some tiny perfect princess shaped woman with the petite figure and giant boobs and perfect hair and blah blah blah. Kat has curves! Mad props for this. Also lets be honest here, who wouldn't like to have two guys who make look alike but have completely different personalities think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread, or  take your pick lol. 

If there was ever a battle of wills between characters its Kat and Deep. Deep is my kind of guy, big gruff and when you see past all that he's got the biggest heart. I like Lock too, he's the sweet romantic type, but honestly I think if you didn't have both you'd end up wanting to strangle one of them lol. The journey these three go through is tragic and heartwarming. One of the things I've found amazing is the authors ability to not only give you hooked to each new set of main characters, but to keep you involved in the lives and goings on of previous characters and where they are at.

Kindred Kraze - Hunted!

We continue on to day two of our Kindred Kraze! 

Sophia Waterhouse has always been afraid of needles and vampires so there’s no way she wants anything to do with a modern day Count Dracula—even if he does come wrapped in the package of a huge Kindred warrior with blond hair and ice blue eyes. She’s only on the Kindred Mothership to participate in her sister Liv’s wedding and that’s all.

Sylvan is a Tranq Kindred who has made a sacred vow never to call a bride. After a devastating rejection on his home planet, his heart is a block of ice no one can melt—or so he thinks until he meets Sophia.

When their ship is forced down in the middle of a rugged mountain range Sophia and Sylvan are stranded. Running for their lives they have only each other to depend on. Will they give in to the intense attraction between them or will the evil hunting Sophia take its toll?

Sophia Waterhouse is a girl I can understand. Shy, insecure and terrified of needles. If she had come with a spider phobia I would have sworn this was a book about me!! I'm ashamed to say I liked this one better then her sister's story. Partially cause in the first book you see the growing tension between the two characters and while you are enjoying Olivia and Baird you are side rooting for Sophia and Sylvan. I was glad they were next. Sylvan was great too. I really felt for him as he had to battle not only the evil coming after them but his own inner demons. It was also good to see the second type of Kindred warrior and the differences between the the beast and the blood kindred. Evangeline continues to show her ability to get us emotionally attached to her characters and get us steamed up at the same time. I love it.

Kindred Kraze with Evangeline Anderson Day One!

For the next eight days the Book Whores will be taking you through an adventure into space as we start at the beginning of Author Evangeline Anderson's Brides of the Kindred series! We hope you will join us each day as we tell you about each book and what we loved about them!

Olivia Waterhouse has just graduated from nursing school and has her whole life ahead of her—until she gets drafted. Problem is, she isn't being forced into the Army, she’s been chosen as a Kindred bride.

The Kindred are huge alien warriors—a race of genetic traders whose population is ninety-five percent male. After saving Earth from the threat of invasion they demand a reward—the right to find brides among the population. The chances of being chosen are about the same as those of winning the lottery—guess it’s just Liv’s lucky day.

Baird is a Beast Kindred who recently escaped imprisonment and torture at the hands of the malevolent Scourge. Through the torment and pain only one thing kept him sane—the thought of finding and claiming his bride—Olivia. His need to possess her is a burning intensity that threatens to consume them both.

Angry at having her future and her family taken away from her, Liv vows to fight back the only way she can—by resisting. She has one month on the Kindred Mothership with Baird—their claiming period. If she can keep from having bonding sex with him during that time, she can go home and get on with her life on Earth.

But Baird isn't going to make it easy for her. Every week he is allowed to touch Liv more and more intimately and according to the contract she signed, she has to let him. She’s determined to resist him but his touch sets her on fire. And just as she thinks she knows what she wants, a twist of fate and an attack by the faceless Scourge AllFather changes everything…

Here we go! Book one! Let's just say Holy Cow! Way to start off with a bang. They say that the first book in a series can either make or break you for the rest of them. Not only did she make it, but she is now on her own little pedestal in my little reader heart <3! Now I'm a little biased, cause you know, I've read some of her other books. Anyways, onto the show, story, thingy. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions! I can only imagine how Olivia feels having some giant alien say hey guess what, I dreamed about you, you're mine! I'm not exactly a fierce female, but I'd be putting the breaks on too. I loved how detailed she went into the claiming period and all the different parts of it, and *swoon*. I like myself a big growly guy who knows what he wants and Baird is exactly that. There is a lot of back and forth with her trying to decide what she wants, and then right when things start to settle we get to meet the Scourge!

Great start to the series, can't wait to keep going!

Lethal Obsession by Shandra Miller

We are happy to be a part of Shandra Miller's blog hop to showcase her book Lethal Obsession as we look forward to the next book!

Angela Martin is like everyone else. She wants acceptance. Love. Passion.

For five years she’s lived with the pain of knowing her husband cheats on her. She’s dealt with the heart-rending rejection by rebuilding her life around her work, becoming the first woman detective in the history of the Moose Creek, N.C., police department.

Then she stumbles upon him. A man who reawakens desire, who makes her feel more alive than she believed possible by pulling her into a world of bondage and dominance, devotion and trust taken to a new level, fear mingling with desire, a craving stronger than any drug.

Soon women start turning up dead in Moose Creek, bound and tortured, tied in ways that Angela finds startling familiar. Angela’s heart tells her that her newfound love cannot be the killer, her detective instincts tell her otherwise, and her obsession with this new lifestyle draws her back to him, even at the risk of her life.

LETHAL OBSESSION is a tale of sex and bondage, love and fear, desire and suspicion, with an ending that will leave you breathless, craving more.

This book was really intense. Like grab you by the throat and hang you on the edge of your seat. It was very intense. It was not predicable at all. I kept sitting there thinking I knew who the bad guy was. Nope. I'm interested to see where she goes with this.

Wind Warrior by Jon Messenger

THE EARTH GIVES WAY TO THE SEA,

THE SEA BOWS BEFORE THE WIND,

THE WIND FEEDS THE FLAME,

THE FLAME BURNS THE WORLD OF MAN DOWN TO THE EARTH.

The sleepy town of White Halls harbors a dangerous secret. On a picturesque street, two houses down from a lovely little park, in a quaint little home with a wraparound porch, lives a family that seems rather normal. Sure, their twenty-year-old son, Xander, still lives at home, but he’s going to college and dating the leader of the schools top sorority. It’s all very… normal.

However, when a man is miraculously saved from being hit by a bus, Xander’s life turns in to the living embodiment of the tornadoes he can suddenly create with a flick of his wrist. Whether he wants this gift or not, Xander must learn to use his new ‘super power’ quickly if he wants to survive. For his kind is a dying race, and when this sleepy town has a sudden influx of new, blonde, fire wielders, no one is safe, especially Xander. It doesn’t help that one of these blondes happens to be the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Xander can’t deny the instant connection he feels to her so, when she tries to kill him, it certainly makes things complicated

Xander is a normal college guy, a little on the nerdy side but pretty normal, until weird things start happening to him. Now, I didn't go to college but unfortunately high school is still burned into my brain and I remember all to well the crazy that goes on there. The author did a great job of capturing super conflicted young adult. All I wanted growing up was super powers. (I'm an x-men girl) So it was really fun to read about this guy coming into his super powers, and then facing the harsh reality about what to do with them. Go into hiding? Save the world? So many choices. This is a great story and a great start to a series. Got me choked up a couple times, and totally leaves you ready for the next book. I can't wait to see where the author takes us next.

Honor C by C. Zampa

When Honor Castillo convinces himself he isn't gay, he begins a new life. He ends his affair with his lover, Jorge Villagomez, and marries Rebecca to establish a life with her as a respected San Antonio businessman. They have a son and he tells himself he is happy. 

Eleven years later, Jorge returns to San Antonio, and his path crosses with Honor’s once more. The flame of their passion never died, and neither did Jorge’s love for Honor. 

When Jorge approaches Honor to design his studio, Honor believes he can walk the line between friendship and lovers. But when a sudden crisis threatens to take Jorge from him forever, Honor must choose between his duty and his heart. Most of all, he’s forced to decide what he’s willing to lose in order to be true to who he really is.

This was really cool. Definitely a different take then we usually see on M/M stories. Despite knowing how much he loves Jorge as a young man he convinces himself to marry Rebecca. The turmoil he goes through is killer. Tragically conflicted in so many ways when Jorge comes back in his life. 

How do you do that? How do come to terms with getting away from what you've believed is wrong your entire life to following your heart to happiness. Well this is the perfect story to show you. I'm sure by now you guys have figured out I'm a crier. My heart goes out whenever anyone is hurting. I really love how instead of being shifted to the side Rebecca got to have her own piece in this. Showing not only how Jorge and Honor handled the strained relationships, but Rebecca too. It definitely took the story to a higher level for me.
