Die for Me

If you love great romantic suspense, you'll enjoy Karen Rose's Die for Me, the 7th book in the romantic suspense series. Set in Philadelphia,someone was killing people and made a mass grave of dead bodies. When PPD's Vito Cicotelli and Nick Lawrence came across some armor, they called Professor Sophie Johansen, a historian in medieval artifacts. From that moment on, both of their worlds were drawn together, when they worked on the case and fall in love. Daniel Vartanian was on the hunt for their parents and brought his sister Suzanna along, when it sent them from Georgia to Philly and to this shocking case, when they collaborated with the PPD. But someone wanted to complicate things, when it dealt with a role playing video game, that had a connection to the case. He had his eyes on Sophie. And it might hit close to home for her. Plus, they both had emotional baggage that made their relationship not work, until all things were laid out on the table. When they come closer to the truth, and their relationship heated up, Sophie was in trouble and the next victim. What a great story!

This was another red hot and fiery romantic suspense. I cared about Sophie and Vito, along with the Vartanians. They were all into it together and drawn by the same evil to that investigation. I loved the dual locations of Philadelphia and Georgia for this novel's perfect settings. This made me break out in a cold sweat and cringe in the end. Great drama, intense non-stop action and explosive romance, and real good mystery to the climax.

Tombs of Endearment

If you love cozies with a twist, you'll love the third installment in the Pepper Martin paranormal cozy series, Tombs of Endearment. Right after Pepper solved her second ghost's murder, she was due for a rest that winter in Cleveland. But she ended up with unrest, when dreamy Damon Curtis's ghost approached her. He was the lead singer of a band in the 60s, who was murdered. So it was up to Pepper to find out who wanted him dead, including his agent and former band members, and a crazy groupie named Belinda. Not only that, Pepper had feelings for this ghost, along with mixed emotions for Dan and Quinn in her own complicated love triangle. Even her ex-fiancé Joel paid her a visit, when he wanted something from her. When Pepper got closer to the truth, someone went after her and wanted their secret quiet and unexposed. But it might be too close for comfort, when Pepper found out who wanted her dead. What a great cozy.

Once again, I love the soft spectral cozy with a featured ghostly spirit from a certain time spirit. That does give this a twist--along with the entire cozy series in general. I still enjoy Pepper's hunt for justice for this ghost to cross over. Once again, I do enjoy the love triangle of Pepper, Quinn and Dan. But I don't like Dan so much any more. I do like the scenes in the cemetery and the offices as well. These type of paranormal cozies won't give you nightmares with a scare.

Full Moon Rising

In Keri Arthur's Full Moon Rising, the first book in the Riley Jensen paranormal romance series, we meet Riley Jensen who was part-werewolf, part-vampire, and was on the hunt for her brother, Rhoan. Not only that, it was full moon fever, when it was time for breeding and mating between species. Riley's temperature rose for Misha and Talon, two wolves, who made her heated. But it got complicated, when Quinn, a vampire, who puts Riley on fire. Not only that, she learned someone placed a hit on her, and wanted her pregnant.  That made her bad, when her boss wanted her to work for the Directorate, during this breeding season, and part of her vampire bloodline ached for bloodlust. Also while she dealt with a spy at the workplace, she learned about a secret lab for cloning mixed-breeds and who was responsible for it. And when she  found out who was responsible, it was more than her blood boiling. She would have to use a lot of sex to get the answers she wanted. This was a yummy paranormal romance series.

This was a spectacular paranormal romance debut. It had everything you would expect in a typical series. I loved the introduction to Riley and her mixed-breed bloodline of vamp and werewolf. I loved how it started with tons of wrapped up drama and suspense. You have got to lose the Australia location to make it very visual to place you there. I found the concept how it was enriched with tons of drama about the lab and how she became a Directoriate Guardian as well. I found Quinn an unique love interest as well. This also had a hint of eroticism to spice up the romance too. Great drama, profound action and suspense and tons of romance to heat up a cold day.
