| Abandon All Hope
Author: JJ Giles and Emy Naso Copyright: 2005 Publisher: Chippewa Publishing ISBN: n/a Rating: 4 Reviewer: Auzzie Minx Genre: Paranormal Erotica Publisher URL: http://www. chippewapublishing.com/ Paradise Palace, a stately four hundred year old mansion, needs a facelift. What better way is there to fund much needed restoration work by opening it up as a whorehouse? Of course such services can�t be advertised openly so Seymour, the 12th Earl of Donnington, and his partner, Matilda Heinenmann, hire a PR lady. Dawna Heaven, a waitress at a nearby diner takes on the role, unofficially of course. With her referring patrons from the nearby Diner to Paradise Palace, business picks up and the money rolls in. When Miss Richards, chairman of the local council drops in for a visit, Seymour and Matilda have their work cut out for them. What will Miss Richards do to their flourishing business? Add a hidden secret treasure and things really get interesting. A funny read from start to finish. I did get a bit lost with the cast of characters a couple of times but soon found my way again. By the end of the story all the loose threads were nicely tied up. For a fun ride, and crazy moments, Abandon All Hope is a story you don�t want to miss. Cyber Daemon � Tarot: The Hierophant by Rian Monaire Publisher: eXtasy Books ISBN: 1-55410-566-8 Genre: Paranormal, Goth Publisher: http://www.extasybooks.com/ Rating: 4 Nymphs Reviewer: Irish Minx Jessica is about to have a really bad couple of days and it�s all because she checked her email at work. After working most of the night and then catching a nap at her desk, she wakes to find it�s almost time to start work and she has something unexpected in her inbox. One is from the �Big Boss�, Jaden Zenusera, so she opens it to find a picture of him in the buff in bed asleep! Later, she forwards it to her home account, for drooling purposes only, but that small act will only bring her trouble!! When she gets home, she checks out the email and finds��something totally different! Jaden Zenusera is a very nasty most unusual being. Jessica is next on his list of �prey�. Now it�s up to Jessica to destroy Jaden - and his brother Aiden is going to show her how to do just that! Jessica is about to discover that she�s an �empathic telekinetic�. She and Aiden will work together to sharpen her skills. And as they work together, unexpected romance blooms. Rian Monaire gives us a story with a very interesting concept! I�ll admit this is not my normal type of book but I enjoyed it tremendously. I sympathized with Jessica as she tries to assimilate everything that�s happening to her. Aiden is a good guy, with a wicked sense of humor and Jaden is a creepy demon �bad guy�. The writing was crisp and witty, but be prepared for a �surprise� ending. |
