Archangel's Legion

Picking up her favorite blades, he threw them at her. Hands snapping up, she caught them both. "I said"--spoken through gritted teeth--"I don't want to."

"And I say you've sulked long enough."

The knife quivered to a stop on the doorjamb an inch from his face.

I'm in a light, witty historical mood reading-wise, so I might go hunting a new historical. (Recommendations welcome!)

Archangel's Legion

"You were in my dream."

She spread her wing so it covered him, her hand on his shoulder. As if she would protect him. "It was sad and terrible and beautiful, what I saw in you there."

Book Rave: The Chocolate Series by Laura Florand

 

You must all read these books. No really. Laura Florand's Chocolate Series is sweet and sexy and all around delicious!!

A note about the pink and blue covers: To me, they say light and frothy, and while the stories are delicious as noted above, they're also deeply emotional.

It's like Laura Florand wrote this entire series for me (because I may or may not have read four books and a novella in the space of two days *ahem*). I mean, chocolatier heroes?! Gorgeous men who fall crazy in love with their heroines and never hesitate, paired with beautiful writing? Sigh.

I'm addicted. I can't wait for the next book.

Thank you to all the RL and Internet friends who kept telling me to read this series. You were right. So, so right.

If you've read these books, what did you think? If you haven't, do the excerpts on Laura's site tempt you?

p.s. If you're looking for an affordable entry point into the series, I think you can happily start with the ebook for The Chocolate Rose ($3.99US) which while technically being the third in the series, stands very well on its own. The hero, Gabriel, is ADORABLE.

p.p.s. I recommend you have some chocolate handy while reading these books. Don't even ask me about my chocolate consumption during reading.

Ready?

Here you go!

SHIELD OF WINTER by Nalini Singh

Coming June 2014

“The alpha author of paranormal romance” (Booklist) draws us back into her extraordinary Psy-Changeling world, a world torn between violence and peace, passion and ice...

Assassin. Soldier. Arrow. That is who Vasic is, who he will always be. His soul drenched in blood, his conscience heavy with the weight of all he’s done, he exists in the shadows, far from the hope his people can almost touch—if only they do not first drown in the murderous insanity of a lethal contagion. To stop the wave of death, Vasic must complete the simplest and most difficult mission of his life.

For if the Psy race is to survive, the empaths must wake…

Having rebuilt her life after medical “treatment” that violated her mind and sought to stifle her abilities, Ivy should have run from the black-clad Arrow with eyes of winter frost. But Ivy Jane has never done what she should. Now, she'll fight for her people, and for this Arrow who stands as her living shield, yet believes he is beyond redemption. But as the world turns to screaming crimson, even Ivy’s fierce will may not be enough to save Vasic from the cold darkness…
