Covet by Felicity Heaton

Bona Fide Book Blurb

They’ve burned for each other for two years, the forbidden attraction between them growing each night. Now resisting the sinful desires of their hearts is becoming impossible. 

Javier knows better than to succumb to his hunger for Lilah. The mortal female belongs to a powerful aristocrat patron of Vampirerotique, the theatre he runs with three other vampires. A single touch is all it would take to break the sacred law of his kind, sentencing himself to death, but his passion for her has become too fierce to ignore and he will risk everything to make Lilah his. 

Lilah has fought her desire for Javier since arriving at his theatre as a servant but each glance he has stolen, his eyes promising pleasure that will satisfy her longing for him, has chipped away at her defences and she can no longer deny her need and her forbidden feelings for the powerful vampire male. 

When they find themselves alone in a private box during one of the erotic performances, will they surrender to their passion and live out their wildest fantasies in a night of wicked pleasure or will the threat of Lilah’s master keep them apart forever?

Bona Fide Review

Excellent

Javier and Lilah have been ferociously attracted to each other for two years.  But, because she is the property of a powerful vampire, their laws and customs to do not allow for their joining. Because of this, Javier has kept his distance from Lilah and has just pined for her from a distance. As, fate would have it, the two succumb to the draw they feel towards one another. After that, their connection deepens. 

Covet by Felicity Heaton is a great novella! Ms. Heaton was able to connect Javier and Lilah in such a way that the romance and eroticism were a perfect combination to make the story believable, even in a short amount of page space. Kudos!

Cry Wolf by Angela Campbell

Good Reading

Cry Wolf by Angela Campbell is a sweet contemporary love story with an air of paranormal mystery as part of the main plot.  Andrea Lockhart and Sean Hunter used to be friends and co-workers in college; but since then, they have not been in contact with one another.  

Andrea is sent to Woodbine, South Carolina to research an article on a  werewolf sighting.  While on assignment with the Naked Truth, a tabloid publication, she finds herself in an awkward position (literally) when she reconnects with Sean who is the editor of the local paper, the Woodbine Weekly. Her chance in counter with her former college crush is amusing. 

A lot has happen in their respective lives since they knew each other in college . Due to those fortuitous events, they have both grown up having been drastically shaped by those circumstances.  As Andrea and Sean spend more time together to uncover the werewolf mystery, they realize how much they care for each other but are afraid to reveal the truth of those feelings to the other. 

The delivery of the story starts off slowly. But, as you continue reading, Cry Wolf picks up speed and leads the reader down a path to uncover the truth behind the werewolf sightings and the maturing of the love connection between the two main characters. The sexual tension between the protagonists is appealing and done in such a manner as to offend romance readers who prefer their love scenes on the mild side.  To add to the sweetness and enjoyment of the story, is the small town setting and the secondary characters the reader meets along the way.

While I enjoyed reading this book there were parts in the story where I found myself frustrated because the pace was slow and I found my self loosing my connection to the heroine because of her attitude and stubbornness. Overall, this a good debut novel and I am looking forward to seeing how Angela Campbell matures as a writer.
