Obsession of Jayde by Eliza Gayle



Title: Obsession of Jayde
Author: Eliza Gayle
Publisher: Loose-Id
Pub Date: Sept 2009
ISBN 978-1-60737-424-4
Genre: Paranormal/erotic
Length: 73 pages

Review:After her grandmother dies, Jayde returns to her hometown. She's been out of touch for years and remorse fills her with renewed desire to do the best she canin her grandma's memory. She starts by taking control of her grandmother's beloved bakery business. In a safety deposit box Jayde finds a beautiful necklace that calls to her and later meets her grandmother's two gorgeous tenants who make her want to scream in sexual frustration. Is it coincidence or is there something the necklace and the men are hiding?

Aidan and Marc are hot. I was so happy about that. The scenes between them together were so affectionate and passion-filled that adding Jayde to the mix made the whole thing believable and enviable. Jewelry, two delicious men, and a cookbook full of fudge recipes make Obsession of Jayde a great read. I give the story five whips. Anyone who likes chocolate with their erotic paranormal will love it.

There is more to the Arctic than meets the eye, just as Cameron Kjellhave their own secrets. Will the revelations push them apart or draw themtogether?
The Marksman is a shifter story and I'm a fan of shifters. I've never read oneabout polar bears so it was very new to me, although it is part of a series. Paranormal always asks for a stretch of the imagination and on occasion whilereading I felt I had to stretch a bit far but I enjoyed it for the most part. All the men are very male and the sex scenes were delicious and prevalent. Igive it three and a half whips because even for the stretching, I did like it and would recommend it to someone who wants a new face on their shifters.

Every August Catee heads north to meet with her mystery man. He's tall, dark and handsome and the only man she wants. Every year she falls more and more for him but hitting thirty has her needing more than hot, sensual passion. Jem is a werewolf who loves being what he is so much he's losing touch with his human side and only makes the exception for Catee. Can she change his mind and put him back in touch with the man inside?

I loved it. Playing Lycan Games was short, hot with unexpected explanations that made it very interesting to read. Catee feels like any regular woman feeling her clock tic and the chances she takes with Jem who is unbelievably sexy are the kind that make me smile. It's hot and fast but there is a lot of love and affection, all invariably important when a story is so short. I gave it four smacks and think most people would really enjoy it.

Sheila writes romance but doesn't have it in her real life. Her editor wants her to write erotica but she honestly doesn't know where to start. Then Lucien walks into her book signing. He's twenty years her junior and his invite for coffee is not only sincere but full of heat. She's drawn to him and the sexy promises he has no trouble making and keeping. But when he seems a little… more, Sheila starts to question exactly who and what Lucien is even as she is drawn deeper into his life.

I am a fan of any vampire book that makes their source of sustenance more creative and sexy than blood. Vampires with an absolute need to go down on their partner is ingenious to me. Ms. Neely drew me right in and there was nothing I didn't like about Wicked Destiny. The back-up characters were sexy and interesting and I would have been happy to read the story all day long, but for such a shortie it had everything to keep me a happy camper. I give Wicked Destiny five smacks because I think anyone who likes short and hot will love it. It's a quick read and worth every sweaty minute.

Marissa is a princess born and raised, on her way to her wedding. Bardak is captain of her guards. When an evil plot leads to their caravan being overtaken and destroyed, Marissa and her maid are at the mercy of a minor wizard and his devious companions. A magic spell meant to make them pliant and willing backfires and instead of being mindless zombies, Marissa and Bardak exchange
bodies. Still hell bent on protecting the princess, even in her physically weak body, Bardak fights and schemes to keep them all alive while Marissa struggles to maintain her identity inside Bardak's masculine body.

Prisoner of Gender was a surprise. It was graphic and violent so not for those who are looking for a gentle story. There is humor in the characters finding the pitfalls of the opposite sex and literally walking in another's shoes. Mr. Bushore kept an intriguing balance between the humor and horrors and I enjoyed it. Not everyone will find it to their taste but I give it four flames because it was an interesting book and those aren't always easy to find.
