Sydney Croft
ACRO Series
Books 1-6
Series Complete
Book 1: Riding the Storm (5 ★)
I really enjoyed this book. It was along the lines of a rated R X- Men, lol. I loved the sex scenes more in this book then in most of the others I have read this year because it felt more like reality and not so fluffed up. Even the dialog seemed more realistic in this book. I loved it!!!!
Book 2: Unleashing the Storm (5 ★)
Croft once again kept me locked in with great sex scenes and flowing storyline. I loved visiting Annika and Creeds story again, as well as Dev and Oz's story. This books main focus was Kira and Ender (Tom). The base is Kira goes into heat and requires a males "touch" every 4 hours or she will die and Ender is put in place as her "stud" which eventually turns into more than just sexual feelings and then they mate. It reminded me a lot of Lora Leigh's Breeds Series. I really enjoyed this book but I didn't connect with it as I did book 1 Riding the Storm. It still amazes me that this series is written by two people because it is seamless and flows so well. I am impressed, lol
Book 3: Seduced by the Storm (5 ★)
I really enjoyed this book but I must say my favorite part was Annika and Creed's storyline. I have loved it from the beginning and it is so great to finally have some closure with them. I think they came a long way and it was a little predictable but still enticing. Dev and Oz also had their share in this book as well. Without giving away anything I will just admit I was SHOCKED! I found their m/m relationship so interesting. It has been written so tastefully IMHO that I easily fell in love with them. Now back to the main H/h Wyatt was dreamy as usual for the hero and Faith was interesting especially her "gift" but their story wasn't the page gripper I would have liked. I'm not disappointed I just not blown away either. The reason I gave it a 5 STAR review is defiantly because of the side stories of Annika/Creed and Dev/Oz.
Book 4: Taming the Fire (5 ★)
Of course I loved this one as I did all the others. Trance and Rik's story had a BDSM tie that makes for some sexy scenes.
I love the side story romances that Croft puts in the book as well. This on includes Dev's ongoing story and picks up with Oz's promise to send someone to him. Ryan the missing ACRO agent finds his HEA in this installment as well.
Book 5: Tempting the Fire (5 ★)
Well I have been extremely busy so it has taken an act of congress to get this damn book finished but none the less IT WAS GREAT! I love all the books in this series and find them highly addictive with its sexy X-Men feel. I love the twist and turns and find the Ani and Creed sub-story that flows through the series to be the greatest highlight of them all. A major event happens for them in this book and I was pleasantly surprised. As for one of the main heroes of this installment, Logan, I found very intriguing. He had the terminator vibe going and for some reason that made my engines roar to life as well. Over all I adore this series and may have a bias opinion of the books but oh well i can't help it! :)
Book 6: Taken by Fire (5 ★)
** spoiler alert ** I would give more than 5 stars if I could for this series!!
OMG. I remembered now why I love the ACRO series so freaking much! There is a scene involving a ice dildo, a woman who controls cold, a man who controls earthquakes and me a woman who controls a vibrator! LOL It is amazing! I love Sydney Croft is Stephanie Tyler and Larissa Ione. So if you loved Daemonica series or Lords of Deliverance series you will like this one. I prefer this one because it is not just PNR it is PNRe and it is more explicit and lots more involved. I always tell ppl its like XMEN erotic romance lol. LOVE IT! I am at about 70% so more later!
Oh this is a good one! I just cried during a m/m/m scene. It was the only one of the series and the storyline built through all the books. It was so sad/happy. I am at 84% and this book is now one of my top favorites ever! You must read this series!!!!
So good so very good. I finished it and let me tell you. I cried the whole last quarter of the book. This book wraps up the ongoing storyline and it is a tear jerker! It all ends well but it doesn't go smoothly thats an understatement. I absolutely LOVED this book! Tears and all.
I am sad this is the final book of this series. *tear*
Just quick ramblings of a self proclaimed Paranormal, Fantasy, and Scifi Romance and Erotica Junkie!!

My Sexy Brotherhood Boys!!
JR WARD
Black Dagger Brotherhood
Books 1-10
Bk 1 Dark Lover (5 ★)
Bk 2 Lover Eternal (5 ★)
Bk 3 Lover Awakened (5 ★)
Bk 4 Lover Revealed (5 ★)
Bk 5 Lover Unbound (5 ★)
Bk 6 Lover Enshrined (3 ★)
Bk 7 Lover Avenged (5 ★)
Bk 8 Lover Mine (5 ★)
Oh my what to say. I loved the book. At times it felt slow but non the less it was a wonderful story. It was SUCH a tear-jerker! It tied it to several stories along the way such as every BDB does and it as always I am left want to know what the hell happens now. I can't wait for the next and the next. I love that John and Xhex finally get a happily every after and once you read the back story in the book it makes it even more worth it all. I love it!
Bk 9 Lover Unleashed (3 ★)
** spoiler alert ** Well where to start.... Sigh.... I can only put my disappointment for this book in so many words. I have been a faithful Black Dagger Brotherhood fan (and will probably remain) for years but I must say I felt let down. here are a few reasons why..
-I never liked the massive (imno) amount of time spent on the lessers and in this installment I felt it was switched the cop dialogue.
-Payne and Manny story seemed to lack the OMG quality and seemed bland. There was not a building ark that satisfied me.
-After the constant play on Paynes virginity and the "build up" for release I was devastated that the end performance at the very last second was a HUGE let down. I had better sex scenes at 18 then this huge let down.
- It felt a little predictable through out the entire book.
Now I can say the good..
-V, oh sweet, sexy, tragic, hard ridding V. He was the star for sure in this book.
So needless to say 3 out of 5 is a stretch. I waited all year for this book and it took me 4 - 5 times to even finish it.
Bk 10 Lover Reborn (5 ★)

Blood Series
Books 4 & 5
Blood Wicked (Blood #4) (4 ★)
As with the previous three books of this series it was fluffy endings and inappropriate times for sex but like the others I enjoyed it! Each book seems to try and throw in a scene that will be a little different and shocking and once again I enjoyed the attempt. It is a loving cliche involving read but it is sweet and also sexual satisfying as well. I look forward to more. I believe Raine will be the next lead and if so that sounds just fine with me.
Blood Secret (Blood #5) (4 ★)
As with all of this series I think it was pretty well written. I am not a huge fan of historical romance/erotica but it is not overpowering in this series. I don't normally like children in books but James was so far in the background that it made it a little better. Pretty good, pretty good.

Bk 7: The Darkest Secret (4 ★)
** spoiler alert ** I really like this series. That said this was a good read. I loved the little pieces of Strider's story in it a lot. The Lead Amun was an interesting one. It was neat how she handled the muteness of him and I liked learning about the history of some of the High Lords BUT the book ended in a pretty wrap it up and make it work way. I still really enjoyed it and plan on starting Strider's book soon. I can't wait to see how Defeat and a Harpy work out.
Bk 8: The Darkest Surrender (4 ★)
Great Story! Loved the banter between Strider and Kaira! He is one of my favorites because he is so quick witted and funny. I think it did stall in some aspects but over all I really enjoyed it a lot!

My Immortal Knight

Book 1: All Hallows Heartbreaker (3 ★)
Book 2: Love Bites (3 ★)
Book 3: All knight Long (3 ★)
Book 4: Relentless (3 ★)
This is an alright book as was the other books in this series so far. A good filler between books. It has pretty good sex scenes but the story line is too rushed. The overall story is okay but each book seems to jump from "Hey, Who are you?" to "I'd give my life for you" so quickly. Not very believable to say the least, lol.
Book 5: Uncovering Navarro (3 ★)
Beware the Dark Forest Again....
Dark Elves by Jet Mykles Books 3-6:
Dark Elves III: Salvation ( 3 ★)
The raedjour found Irin as a babe and took her in to their lair to raise her. They put a spell on her to remove her lust and sexual awareness as well as those who come into contact with her, for her safety from the sexual nature the raedjour are known for. She is now 20 and ready to have the spell removed and is longing for a the two men who have always been at her side, Savous and Radin.
I liked this one more then the others so far. The storyline picks up quickly in this one and there is more action and plot. A lot happens for the raedjour society during this book. I was surprised by the ending and I am not sure it was a good surprise though. I was very upset actually. But as far as the overall judgment, I liked it
Dark Elves IV: Dissent (3 ★)
Like the others in this series. I enjoyed it. It had a great scene with a fmm and I thought it was very hot! I loved Jarak! He was a great hero and I even enjoyed Marisol. She did over dramatize the situations and I appreciate that in a heroine. So short and sweet.... HOT elf sex and steamy dialog. Enjoyable.
Dark Elves V: Discovery (3 ★)
Dark Elves VI: Awakening (4 ★)

Book 8: Deep Kiss of Winter (5 ★)
Bk: 12 Lothaire (5 ★)
** spoiler alert ** I'd give it more than 5 stars if it were possible! I loves this book. Number one in the series for sure. Lothaire is by far one of the dreamiest tragic heroes ever. I loved everything about him. As for Ellie, I liked her, she was a good heroine but I will say i am not into the hillbilly accent, There is a difference than having a southern drawl and hillbilly talk. lol. I literally couldn't put this book down I stayed up till 5:30AM reading it. It had some of the best sex scenes I have read in all her books. Highlight scenes for me were some that I don't normally see much. Favorite one is her biting his cock and drinking his blood during a pant worth 69 scene. EXCELLENTLY done. Second best is the Titty F*uck scene. That is one position that is rarely done and she executed it great! Bravo Kresley Cole, another great job. I don't normally reread book cause there are SO MANY out there to get to but I have a feeling this one might get an encore.
