Keeping it smart and small

Long Hard Ride by Keta Diablo

I liked it. There weren't too much drama, just two men in the run from villainous warden and on the way falling for each other. Drake was take charge kindda doctor and a partner. Wellbourne was headstrong but not always the submissive kind.

For a light erotic reading in an hour totally worth-it.

It Was The Dead Who Groaned Within by Kipp Poe Speicher

Really short. The story finished before it even started. But it was planted out cleverly so the readers get a bit of story out of it.

It was free on smashword. So not really complaining.

My Book Boyfriend: Giovanni Vecchio

Today I will be introducing another book boyfriend of mine. Giovanni Vecchio from Elemental Mysteries series by Elizabeth Hunter.

Name: Giovanni Vecchio
Age: Over 500 years Ialian
Was turned into a Vampire around late 14oo's
Has the power to manipulate fire
Appears in Elemental Mysteries series

Giovanni's Italian accent is enough to make you go weak in the knees. He can manipulate fire, has complicated relationship with his son and he is completely smitten with Beatrice De Novo.

She stood in front of him, her eyes bold as she met his hungry stare, and all Giovanni would have had to do was take one step and he could have wrapped his body around hers, laid his mouth on her soft neck, and swallowed the thick blood that called to him. He swallowed slowly, and ignored the burn in his throat and the smell of honeysuckle and lemon that filled the air.

“I’m not going to deny that I’m attracted to you, Beatrice. Denying that would be foolish and insulting to us both.”

“But you’re not going to kiss me again, are you?”

“No.”

“Did you want to bite me?”

He searched her eyes, trying to determine what answer she wanted, but though he had observed humanity for five hundred years, her enigmatic eyes were still a mystery to him.

“Yes.”

~A Hidden Fire

Giovanni was quite hard to pick but I think Gilles Marini will make a totally awesome 500 year old Italian vampire with blue fires comeiong out of his hands.

Tempting Tuesday: Some Girls Bite Read-Along Chapter 1-4

Hosted by Tina at Tina's Book Reviews, Rummanah at Books in the Spotlight, Missie at The Unread Reader and Jenny at Supernatural Snark.

I started reading Some Girls Bite last night. The start is quite interesting. Now will be discussing chapters 1-4 of this book which is being held over at Supernatural Snark

Let’s say tomorrow a “vampire manifesto” as Merit calls it runs in newspapers across the country announcing their existence. How do you think you would react? If you were hesitant to believe initially, what would it take to convince you they were real?

Get holy water, sharp stake, a crossbow and every other pointy objects to keep a vampire off of my neck. I WOULD FREAK OUT! If it actually happened, of course!

To convince myself?!? I can tell you this, I shall not walk into a vampire bar and ask to be bitten. Ummm I guess I would need hardcore proof. Showing off the fangs would probably scream fake. I don't know, I don't think I would believe in it unless I have had a first hand experience. I guess.

Reading about the vampire romance all my life, you would think I would be a bit compassionate about Vampires .... *sigh* I guess the outlook might change but it's very unlikely. Yup. I would go Buffy if "vampire manifesto" thing happens.

Since being turned into a vampire means complete removal from your former life and a new job serving your House in some capacity, what do you think you would miss most about the life you live now?

I can tell you this, wouldn't miss the sun. I am more of a night creature as it is and I try to go out when the heat is less at least so I would say I would be okay without a sun. I would miss my family like crazy though. No matter how annoying they can be. My crazy bunch of friends, although some might offer to tag along and become vampires. I will do everything in my power to stop that. Knowing my weird friends they will make terrible vampires. As in I would be overshadowed by their awesomeness of being vamps o_o

What are your first impressions of Merit and how she’s handling all the changes in her life?

I haven't finished the book yet to give a final verdict about Merit. But I would say all things consider, so far she is handling it pretty good. Being a vampire and adjusting to a brand new life, she is whining less than me. Kudos to Merit for that!

When you first read the description of Ethan, what actor/model/person you know pops into your head as the perfect embodiment of him? Feel free to include pictures ;-)

I started this after picturing Gabriel Aubry playing Ethan. Soooooo

shifty eyes

Do you think Merit’s anger at Ethan himself, not the situation, is justified?

Scratches head. I can understand Merit's anger towards Ethan. She got turned against her will and all so she has to be angry at something/someone to take out her aggression on being turned against her will. So the anger at Ethan is unavoidable.  Is it justified? I guess not.
