Reviews From The Heart: December 2011

What Kind Of Review Can You Expect?

If I could describe what kind of reader I am, I would hands down say I was an emotional one. When I read I want to fully experience the book, from the emotions coursing through the characters to reacting to the twist and turns of the storyline. I'm looking for those books that fire up my imagination and leave me breathless when it's over. It's for this reason why the reviews I write aren't so much what I think and are more on how I feel. My hopes in sharing my review in this way is that something will spark an interest and have you wanting to have the same experiences. This isn't to say I don't have issues with grammar, word choices etc. Trust me I do and most times all it takes is waiting for the story to grab hold for it not to matter. When I do include things about what I thought about the book (for example I've included comments about word choices and being too descriptive), I only do so because it directly affected how I felt. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

To Command And Collar by Cherise Sinclair

To Command And Collar

Cherise Sinclair
#6 in the Masters of Shadowlands series
Erotic Romance - bdsm

Determined to find the human traffickers preying on Shadowlands’ submissives, Master Raoul gets himself invited to a small slave auction. Once informed, the FBI orders him to reject the limited choices so the slavers will invite him to the big auction. To Raoul’s shock, one of the slaves is the kidnapped friend of a Shadowlands sub. She has a scarred body…and an unbroken spirit. He can’t leave her behind. Ruining the FBI’s carefully laid plans, he buys her.

Kimberly’s freedom has come at a devastating price: the other women are still slaves. An FBI raid is their only hope for rescue. Desperate to help the Feds locate the big auction, she agrees to pose as Master Raoul’s slave. Wearing a collar again is terrifying, but under the powerful dominant’s care, Kim starts to heal and then to blossom. This is what she’s been drawn to—and fled from—her entire life.

She escaped the slavers who captured her body—can she escape the master who’s captured her heart?

Drink Deep by Chloe Neill

Drink Deep

#5, Chicagoland Vampires series
Chloe Neill
Urban Fantasy

Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and recently turned vampire Merit can't tell if this is the darkness before the dawn or the calm before the storm. With the city itself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal registration act, times haven't been this precarious for vampires since they came out of the closet. If only they could lay low for a bit, and let the mortals calm down.

That's when the waters of Lake Michigan suddenly turn pitch black-and things really start getting ugly.

Chicago's mayor insists it's nothing to worry about, but Merit knows only the darkest magic could have woven a spell powerful enough to change the very fabric of nature. She'll have to turn to friends old and new to find out who's behind this, and stop them before it's too late for vampires and humans alike

Review Policy

For any authors who would like me to review their books, please feel free to contact me at thebookishsnob@hotmail.com and tell me a little bit about yourself and your book.

Just to warn you, I am a book snob and prefer reading books with a ROMANTIC & PARANORMAL THEMES (I'm willing to consider other genres though if the book is right) Those books I do review, I always give my honest opinion on how the book made me feel and the kind of experiences any future reader may expect.

I'm happy to review your book in any form that's convenient and I'm flexible with any time limits you may have (let me know with your request) With each review I do, I post it on my blog, Goodreads, Amazon and The Romance Reviews. If you'd like any other sites, just let me know and I'll be sure to post it there as well.
