Review of "Devil's Play" by: Kenya Carlton



Snuggled within the warm embrace of marital bliss, biologically altered army Captain Drake Devilin and his supernatural bride, Sienna, face their biggest challenge to date. Called back for duty in World War II, Drake must leave his amazing life behind and join his troop to fight the Nazis. Although he’s certain his new mission is merely a rouse to obtain his most precious commodity, his wife, Drake leaves, but not before giving Sienna a magical necklace in the hope it will protect her against unknown enemies. Lured from her prosperous island by a sorcerer who is convinced she was always meant to be his bride. Sienna is challenged to play three magical games to ensure her husband’s safe return. In each game, a limited time is given to Sienna to immerse herself into a new world, situation, and persona; find Drake; and have him acknowledge her by name. And she can’t use her powers to make it happen. Everything dear to Sienna’s heart is put in jeopardy. Willing to fight for the love of her life and her happiness, Sienna takes on the sorcerer in his own game of cat and mouse. 

LOVE BITE REVIEW: This paranormal romance has a sexy werewolf, a powerful witch, a crazy warlock, a vicious vamp and much, much more! Set in the 40's, Drake Devilin is a genetically altered human who turns into a werewolf. He is married to a lovely, "chocolate", colored powerful witch. They have a strong, sexy marriage, and live on Parrott Island in the Caribbean. They are content with their friends and each other until two government officials show up. 

Drake is being sent off to war. He doesn't like it but knows it's his duty. There is just something in the back of his mind that Sienna is being threatened or might be lured off the island. Drake arranges for his best friend Percy to watch over Sienna in his absence and for her to wear a mystically protected locket to keep her safe. 

A wicked warlock named Preston lures Sienna to the states and tells her he was meant to be her husband. He tells her he has Drake held captive and in order to save his life she must play his game. If she can get Drake to recognize her by name and confess his love for her without her using her magic they can be together. If she fails she must marry Preston. 

Will Drake and Sienna's love for each other prevail? Or will she fail? Again in this book I liked Kenya Carlton's style of writing. This book kept my attention and I found myself unable to put it down and at times on the edge of my seat. She has great characters who are all unique in their way. She also threw in a couple of clever side stories that I think would make good books of their own. I only wish there was more to the paranormal side of the characters, but overall, I feel like this was a well written story with the possibility of a 3rd book in the series. 


LOVE BITE REVIEWS gives this book 4 love bites and recommends it!!

Review of "Sweet As Sin" by: Kenya Carlton



Drake Devlin, a sexy, genetically altered werewolf finds himself home from WWII, out of the frying pan and into the fire. His grandfather thinks he can restore the family name, by marrying Drake off to a rich heiress, Sienna Caldwell. She just happens to be a powerful witch. Drake and Sienna's families conjure up a marriage contract that would protect Sienna from a certain death, and make Drake a very rich man. All he has to do is marry the beautiful Sienna and keep her safe for one year. The only condition is to stay away from the island that Sienna draws her powers off of, Parrott Island. Little did anyone know the sexual chemistry between the two would blossom into a true love match. Can they overcome the obstacles of greedy outsiders who want everything they have including each other?

LOVE BITE REVIEW: I thought this paranormal romance was an interesting read. I like Ms. Carlton's writing style. Her characters are interesting and unique. I only wish there was a little more to the paranormal side that I am used to reading. Overall, I think she did a good job telling this story and I will for sure be reading the next book in the series, Devil's Play.

Review of "Pocket Full of Posies" by: Angela Roquet


The promise of peace in Limbo City is threatened once again, but this time the terrorists have a more specific target in mind: Lana Harvey. The up and coming reaper thought passing her classes at the Reaper Academy was going to be her biggest challenge, but when a rebel demon sends her apartment up in flames, she realizes that her victories from the previous year haven’t gone so unnoticed after all… To make matters worse, the Afterlife Council has taken notice of Lana too. The Egyptian god Horus is blackmailing her into joining the Posy Unit so she can do an illegal side job for him, and Cindy Morningstar, Lucifer’s daughter, insists that she take a two week training course with the devilishly tempting Beelzebub, much to her angelic boyfriend’s chagrin.

LOVE BITE REVIEW:  This second book in the Lana Harvey series kept me just as enthralled as the first book!! The plot was well developed and full of unexpected twists! Lana Harvey, the soul harvesting reaper, reveals why she is different from the other reapers in her circle of friends. Can’t give that away, sorry, but you’ll learn how dangerous this secret can be.

Lana’s best friend, Josie, can’t seem to figure out why Lana gets promoted when she is such a slacker. In this book you’ll find out why. Lana even seems to find a love interest named Maalik, even though he is bossy and a control freak. They are still spicy together! Again like book 1, this book will have you laughing out loud, cringing in your seat, and fanning yourself during the sexy romance scenes. I cannot wait for book 3!

Review of "Graveyard Shift" by: Angela Roquet


The Inferno has Evolved… Lana Harvey is a reaper, and a lousy one at that. She resides in Limbo City, the modern capital of the collective afterlives, where she likes to stick it to the man (the legendary Grim Reaper himself) by harvesting the bare minimum of souls required of her. She’d much rather be hanging out with Gabriel, her favorite archangel, at Purgatory Lounge. But when a shocking promotion falls in her lap, Lana learns something that could unravel the very fabric of Eternity. If the job isn’t completed, there could be some real hell to pay.

LOVE BITE REVIEW:  Terrific beginning to a new series!! New author Angela Roquet has done her homework on this one! If you like urban fantasy then you will love this book. There are reapers, demons, mythological creatures and even an archangel! Wow, what a combination! Angela works her wonders at making all these characters work together in this “afterlife” series. She makes you laugh and keeps you on the edge of your seat. 

Her main character Lana Harvey is a soul harvesting reaper in the “afterlife”. Her job is to get the souls she reaps to their destination. She likes to slack and have fun after, but her boss Grim (the reaper lol) has other plans for her. Namely plans that will benefit him and his career… Lots of twists and turns in this book and just enough sexy. 

Angela mixes just about every religion imaginable in this book, but surprisingly does so seamlessly. She has a broad knowledge of religion and has definitely done her research. This is going to be just a great new series! I can’t to wait to get my hands on book 2!!
