SYNOPSIS:

Vampire Valentine by Lynsay Sands
Mirabeau LaRouche knew she had a job to do, but she never expected her assignment to take her through New York City′s dark, dank underground-in her bridesmaid gown, no less! And when her partner turns out to be mortal private investigator Tiny McGraw, Mireabeau knows it′s no ordinary Cupid′s arrow that has struck her heart this Valentine′s Day.

Hearts Untamed by Pamela Palmer
Ten years ago Zeeland left D.C. to join the Therian Guard, needing to put some distance between himself and the still-too-young Julianne. Now he′s returned, in the midst of a Valentine′s celebration to find Julianne more beautiful than ever, still angry at him for leaving, and up to her lovely eyebrows in an intrigue that threatens both of their immortal lives.

Kiss and Kill Cupid by Jamie Rush
Kat Morgan has no use for Valentine′s Day, since hearing other people′s thoughts puts a real damper on any kind of intimate relationship. When she overhears the Killer Cupid serial killer targeting her for his Valentine′s Day murder, Kat is terrified. But is Adrian, the one man whose thoughts she can′t hear, her savior, or killer?

MY THOUGHTS:

I am a HUGE fan of Lynsay Sands and was so excited to finally get to read Tiny's story.  I am so glad the author decided to pair him with Mirabeau.  The story was cute and a perfect little read for Valenitine's Day. I only wish it would have been longer. I kind of felt cheated out of a large story for them, but I understand she had to make it short for the book.  Even though it was short and to the point, the author made sure to give us our fix of the Argeneau family and keep us on the edge of our seats for the next installment in the series! You can't go wrong with her books!

In Hearts Untamed, I got a new paranormal experience.  The basis of it was still romantic, but it still had a paranormal plot that wasn't the widely popular vampire or werewolf story.  It had a whole new take on a whole new race.  This one seemed to drag a bit for me, but I think it was because it was a new paranormal plot that was weird for me.  The plot and writing was well done, but this was probably my 3rd place story in the book.

Kiss and Kill Cupid was outstanding. I loved the hero and heroine.  They instantly had a connection and I could feel it in the writing.  I was sad that this story was so short as well.  The author does mention that it will continue in a series she is writing, so that made me excited.  This was a new to me author and I was thrilled to find her writing witty and suspenseful!  Clearly, this author has found her knack for writing paranormal!



MY RATING:




Outstanding Book That Will Stay On My Bookshelf
For Rereading!

Great review! I picked this book up yesterday but haven't read it yet. I went out and bought the two other books by Jaime Rush as well. (A Perfect Darkness, and Out of the Darkness). They, at a glance, look like really good reads!

Thank you for the follow! :)
