MY THOUGHTS ON 'STILL ON MY MIND':

(The immortals, book 2)
By Alyson Noel
Paperback
Pages: 289
Published: July 7th 2009
Published: July 7th 2009
Publisher: by St. Martin's Press
Synopsis via Goodreads:
Alyson’s Noël’s bestselling Immortals series has been hailed as “addictive” “beautiful” “haunting” and “mesmerizing.” In the second installment, Ever can bring her family back from the dead—but only if she’s willing to sacrifice the guy she loves more than life itself.
Just as Ever is learning everything she can about her new abilities as an immortal, initiated into the dark, seductive world by her beloved Damen, something terrible is happening to him. As Ever’s powers are increasing, Damen’s are fading—stricken by a mysterious illness that threatens his memory, his identity, his life.
Desperate to save him, Ever travels to the mystical dimension of Summerland, uncovering not only the secrets of Damen’s past—the brutal, tortured history he hoped to keep hidden—but also an ancient text revealing the workings of time. With the approaching blue moon heralding her only window for travel, Ever is forced to decide between turning back the clock and saving her family from the accident that claimed them—or staying in the present and saving Damen, who grows weaker each day...

MY THOUGHTS:
I liked the first book in the series, Evermore. I had to get the second book, but then I went astray and started reading Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series.
Oh well, I'll get to it one day ... maybe.

RATING!!!
Existence
by Abbi Glines
Publisher Date: December 13, 2011
Publisher: eBook
Pages: 194
Well let me start out by saying . . Not one, but TWO male candy. Dank and Leif are so hot!!!
SYNOPISISWhat happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course. Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.
Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.
Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all.
He is Death and he's about to break all the rules.
COVER:
I think the cover portrays Dank being protective of Pagan. His eyes are brilliant blue with a glowing effect which is what I imagined him looking like in the story. A few times throughout reading this book, I had to go back to the cover and see this iCandy.
MY THOUGHTS:
I am a new Abbi Glines fan! This is the first book that I've read of her's and now downloading more of her books on my Kindle. I read this book in two days, but could have done so in a half-day. But you know, I was on vacation with the family, so couldn't escape to read. This was just such a great read! You have romance, suspense, twists and turns throughout the story. I loved the love triangle that Abbi Glines created. Both guys, Dank and Leif had mystery, sex appeal, and made you feel safe. From beginning to end it was a page turner. I never lost interest or wanted to "skip over a few pages". This fantastic paranormal romance held my attention throughout the whole story and had me craving for more!
The forbidden love story between Dank and Pagan was awesome! They had many obstacles to overcome, which I felt made it all the sweeter for the two; the closeness even when apart was still there. Dank is so dark and mysterious. I love that he is not only Death, but a rock start too! Pagan at times could be a bit dramatic, but she sees souls so I'll give her a break, she can be as dramatic as she wants. Pagan was sweet and unselfish.
Leif and Pagan's relationship (unknown to Leif) was based on security and only that. I think at first Pagan seemed to see Leif as a possible boyfriend, but the closer her and Dank got the less she thought Leif as boyfriend material. Leif was just that guy you could always count on; just so lovable. I was actually rooting for Leif during most of the story, but at the ending is a shocker cliffhanger and now I'm wondering who or what Leif is.
The other characters in the story were well developed and believable. Fun, quirky, stand by your side, type of friends. I really enjoyed the character Gee. What a twist on her character! I was fooled. I hope she is in the second book.
SUM IT ALL UP ... If you haven't read any of Abbi Gline's novels, you've got to start now! My next read is Predestined which is the sequel of Existence.

Meet Denesha Sheree, Author of The Yellow Clutch Society
Denesha Sheree, realized her talent when she was approached by a professor who advised her to consider publishing her creative writings. Busy with academics, she went on to obtain a degree In Linguistics Studies. In the year of 2004, Denesha began to journal a book called "Two Faced" which later became "Tredina's Portal.
Publisher: One Tale Publishing
Published: January 10, 2012
Pages: 75 pages (Novella)
Available on Amazon.com/Kindle, Barnes and Noble/Nook, and Paperback/Author's Web site.
I would like to thank Author Denesha Sheree for giving me this opportunity to interview her.
Now we're going to learn somethings about Author Denesha Sheree and her Novella, The Yellow Clutch Society.
Q: How did you come up with the title?
A: Well, I knew that I wanted to have something with Society in it, so I just scribbled something down on paper. Now for some reason the color yellow stuck out at me at the same time I was looking at a Judith Leiber clutch which I associated with women of wealth and class. The next thing I know, I wrote down “THE YELLOW CLUTCH SOCIETY” (laughing)
Q: What sparked the idea of your novel?
A: The idea came to me so fast that it was crazy. I knew I wanted to write about this certain type of society; I just needed to provide some kind of twist to it. The funny thing is, when I began to write, I couldn’t stop. I was writing all on the top of receipts and scratch paper (laughing). It was within this Novella, that I learned that the characters narrate the story and all you do is push the pen.
Q: How did you get the ideas and did you experience any of the things?
A: The idea came from being around secret societies, but all I did was exaggerate it with a twist.
Q: Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
A: All the novellas will come with lessons such as greed, envy, and desperation, a little of everything. The reader will interpret the story to their experiences.
Q: While you were writing, did you feel as if you were one of the characters?
A: Yes, all of them, the tones of their voice even changed from character to character. (Laughing)
Q: Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
A: It is because of you that I push my pen on a daily basis. A writer is nothing without its readers. I appreciate your honesty and your love for my Novella’s.
Q: What are your expectations for the book?
A: There is a certain message that I want my readers to take from this book in which I can’t give away. (Laughing) I would love for this book to be a two part movie series. I would also love for this Novella to launch the start of a Dynasty of Novella’s that reach readers across the world.
Q: Who designed the covers?
A: David Preston: One Tale Publishing.
Q: What is your favorite theme/genre to write about?
A: Because I’m currently working on my next few projects, I haven’t been able to start another novel.
Q: Can you share a little of your current work with us?

A: Because I’m currently working on my next few projects, I haven’t been able to start another novel.
Q: Can you share a little of your current work with us?
A: I’m in the middle of writing a tale of two novellas’ “Damon’s Die-Nasty” and “Mirror’s Mirror”. This will twist your cap back, as it is also full of suspense. I will then move into “Ring Burial”, because in 2013 I am teaming up with Author Stephanie Norris with a Novella entitled “Wife Swap”. I am super excited about those projects.
Q: Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?
Q: Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?
A: Stephen King. I was fascinated with his writing style ever since I was a child. I think the first one of his books that I snuck and read was “The Tommy Knocker” (laughing) I think what strikes me about his work is the fact that he toys with the readers mind. This dude stuff is so deep at times that you have to go back and read it twice to try and grasp it.

Predestined by Abbi GlinesKindle Edition
Published March 29th 2012
You would think after helping save her boyfriend from an eternity in Hell that things would go back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder.
The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited.
Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human. But he hadn’t worried about a simple soulless creature. Now, he realizes he made a grave mistake. Pagan’s soul has been marked since birth as a restitution, to a spirit so dark not even Death walks near it. Dank knows saving Pagan’s soul won’t be easy but Pagan is his. And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too, then bring it on.
Here's my teasers! :
"Pagan, your eyes," he reached out and cupped my face with his hands as he studied me. Death wasn't supposed to fear anything; yet I could see it in every crease of his frown."

Romance Ramblings is my weekly spotlight on Erotica & Historical Romance novels here on FIK*TISH*UHS Reviews. Here I will ramble on about new romance book releases, mini book reviews, upcoming romance books, and ramble, ramble, ramble, on about romance.
Today's Spotlight:
Scandal Wears Satin (Dressmakers, #2) by Loretta Chase
Paperback, 384 pages
Silk is for Seduction(The Dressmakers, #1)
Mass Market Paperback, 359 pages
Published June 28th 2011 by Avon
The Theory of Attraction
by Delphine Dryden
ebook, 136 pages
Published: July 9,2012
Publisher: Carina Press
Camilla can set her watch by her hunky rocket-scientist neighbor who jogs past her window each day. She relishes each glimpse of his shirtless abs, and is dying to see more. But it’s hard to connect with a man who doesn’t seem to know she exists…
Ivan feels at home in the lab, not in social situations. When he finally approaches his attractive neighbor, it’s not for a date—he wants tutoring in how to behave at an important fundraiser. Ivan doesn’t expect the chemistry between them to be quite so explosive, and is surprised when Cami actually accepts his proposal to embark on a series of “lessons”.
Cami soon discovers Ivan’s schedule isn’t the only thing he likes to be strict about—he needs to be charge in the bedroom as well. She’s shocked at how much she comes to enjoy her submissive side, but wonders if a real relationship is in the equation…
MY THOUGHTS:
The cover says it all - sex, sex, and more sex in this short erotica story! It seems dominant/submissive relationships are the new steamy reads.

From the Journals of Sophia Noirot: A dress is a weapon. It must dazzle his eye, raise his temperature . . . and empty his purse.
A blue-eyed innocent on the outside and a shark on the inside, dressmaker Sophy Noirot could sell sand to Bedouins. Selling Maison Noirot's beautiful designs to aristocratic ladies is a little harder, especially since a recent family scandal has made an enemy of one of society's fashion leaders. Turning scandal to the shop's advantage requires every iota of Sophy's skills, leaving her little patience for a big, reckless rake like the Earl of Longmore. The gorgeous lummox can't keep more than one idea in his head at a time, and his idea is taking off all of Sophy's clothes.
But when Longmore's sister, Noirot's wealthiest, favorite customer, runs away, Sophy can't let him bumble after her on his own. In hot pursuit with the one man who tempts her beyond reason, she finds desire has never slipped on so smoothly . . .

*image and Synopsis via Goodreads*
Eron DeMarchelle isn't supposed to feel this connection. He is a Sandman, a supernatural being whose purpose is to seduce his human charges to sleep. Though he can communicate with his charges in their dreams, he isn't encouraged to do so. After all, becoming too involved in one human's life could prevent him from helping others get their needed rest.
But he can't deny that he feels something for Julia, a lonely girl with fiery red hair and sad dreams. Just weeks ago, her boyfriend died in a car accident, and Eron can tell that she feels more alone than ever. Eron was human once too, many years ago, and he remembers how it felt to lose the one he loved. In the past, Eron has broken rules to protect Julia, but now, when she seems to need him more than ever, he can't reach her. Eron's time as a Sandman is coming to a close, and his replacement doesn't seem to care about his charges. Worse, Julia is facing dangers she doesn't recognize, and Eron, as he transitions back to being human, may be the only one who can save her. . . .
Even once they've become human again, Sandmen are forbidden to communicate with their charges. But Eron knows he won't be able to forget Julia. Will he risk everything for a chance to be with the girl he loves?
Cyn Balog's follow-up to Fairy Tale has more wit, more supernatural delights, and more star-crossed romance! Teen girls will love this story of a Sandman who falls in love with his human charge.

Even once they've become human again, Sandmen are forbidden to communicate with their charges. But Eron knows he won't be able to forget Julia. Will he risk everything for a chance to be with the girl he loves?
Cyn Balog's follow-up to Fairy Tale has more wit, more supernatural delights, and more star-crossed romance! Teen girls will love this story of a Sandman who falls in love with his human charge.
MY THOUGHTS ON 'STILL ON MY MIND':
This was a adorable, page turner book for me. I loved the whole story line. It would be nice to have a 'Sandman' lull me to sleep every night - and a gorgeous guy won't hurt either :)

MY THOUGHTS:
(The Hunger Games #1)
By Suzanne Collins
MY THOUGHTS:
So this book turned movie, I just couldn't get into. I did not see the movie, but I wanted to read it first. Well many months later I still haven't read it.
Like I said, I got to be in a mood for a certain book to read it. It will happen someday with Hunger Games.
So share what's you need to get off your bookshelf, or floor, or box . . . I love comments!

Riley Blackthorne just needs a chance to prove herself—and that’s exactly what the demons are counting on...
Seventeen-year-old Riley, the only daughter of legendary Demon Trapper, Paul Blackthorne, has always dreamed of following in her father's footsteps. The good news is, with human society seriously disrupted by economic upheaval and Lucifer increasing the number of demons in all major cities, Atlanta’s local Trappers’ Guild needs all the help they can get—even from a girl. When she’s not keeping up with her homework or trying to manage her growing crush on fellow apprentice, Simon, Riley’s out saving distressed citizens from foul-mouthed little devils – Grade One Hellspawn only, of course, per the strict rules of the Guild. Life’s about as normal as can be for the average demon-trapping teen.
But then a Grade Five Geo-Fiend crashes Riley’s routine assignment at a library, jeopardizing her life and her chosen livelihood. And, as if that wasn’t bad enough, sudden tragedy strikes the Trappers’ Guild, spinning Riley down a more dangerous path than she ever could have imagined. As her whole world crashes down around her, who can Riley trust with her heart—and her life?

(first published August 7th 2012)
Since the car crash that took her father’s life three years ago, Emma’s life has been a freaky—and unending—lesson in caution. Surviving “accidents” has taken priority over being a normal seventeen-year-old, so Emma spends her days taking pictures of life instead of living it. Falling in love with a boy was never part of the plan. Falling for a reaper who makes her chest ache and her head spin? Not an option.
It’s not easy being dead, especially for a reaper in love with a girl fate has put on his list not once, but twice. Finn’s fellow reapers give him hell about spending time with Emma, but Finn couldn’t let her die before, and he’s not about to let her die now. He will protect the girl he loves from the evil he accidentally unleashed, even if it means sacrificing the only thing he has left...his soul
