12th Night

Christmas Spice - Anna Leigh Keaton- 3 Stars - Victoria “Vicky”, Detective Drake - I needed a heads up about this. The scene was hot but the consent issue made it less so for me.

A Perfect Fit - Lacy Danes - Stars - Who??? - I didn’t care for the POV in this story. It made me uncomfortable putting myself in a character so I DNF’d

The Best Santa Ever - Katie Allen - 3 Stars - Alexander “Xan” Brooks, Melanie - What a steamy romp through the north pole. *wink wink*

Stroking Midnight - Raine Weaver - Stars - Calvary “Callie” Marsh, Josh - I haven’t been motivated to pick this up in two days so I am DNF-ing.

Ghost of Christmas Second Chance - Amy Ruttan - 3 Stars - Melora, Henry, Ghost of Christmas Past - A literal second chance romance. Melora, after living her life alone, has been given the chance, by the Ghost of Christmas Past, to go back and not only fix her relationship with Henry but save his life. It’s a little cheesy and everything happens very quickly but I liked it.

Holiday Traditions - Christine D’Abo - Stars - Ardara Raion, Grayson - This is not the fault of this story. I’m just not feeling reading sex for sex sake and that is how this whole book has felt. I know these are intended to be quickies and there is a time and place for that but it’s not here and now for me.

Wicked Resolutions - SERIES INFO - Karen Erickson - Stars - CHARACTER NAMES HERE - REVIEW/THOUGHTS HERE

Light My Fire - Alisha Rai - 3 Stars - Lisa Alvarez, “Josh” - I enjoyed the change up in plot. I’ve been reading a lot of second chance romance lately and this was a much appreciated change.

Reviewing caveat or warning or whatever: I know Raine Weaver in a sense you can know someone on the Interwebs. Yet I bought this book with my hard-earned cash back when it was listed as a pre-order.

Another caveat or warning or whatever: I'm not a reviewer so I'm totally going to cheat and say if you want to know what this book is about in better detail, read the blurb.

My in-a-nutshell summary of the book? Parker must protect Carly so she and 99 other people can save the world. Ta-da! This is important to the relationship between the main characters and it's at the heart of the black moment. All that is fine and good but that's not why I ended up loving this book. It's the hero. The language in this book IS coarse and most of it spews from Parker's mouth or his thoughts. Let me share a few gems:

“The girl was more than easy on the eyes. But since involvement with a client was out of the question, it was more like standing outside a candy store window with a brick in his hand. Or something equally as hard.”
Weaver, Raine (2012-05-22). Lucidity (Kindle Locations 56-57). Samhain Publishing, Ltd.. Kindle Edition.

“Gawd, he hoped she wasn’t insane. If the people he worked for had saddled him with a nutcase, he would go back to Washington and beat the shit out of somebody.”
Weaver, Raine (2012-05-22). Lucidity (Kindle Locations 441-442). Samhain Publishing, Ltd.. Kindle Edition.

“Dammit all to hell, what if they’d been under attack? He’d been so anxious to get to her, he’d forgotten his weapons, left them in the common room. Which meant he’d officially lost what little mind he had left. Of course, he could always beat an intruder to death with his dick. It had certainly been hard enough.”
Weaver, Raine (2012-05-22). Lucidity (Kindle Locations 1261-1264). Samhain Publishing, Ltd.. Kindle Edition.

Absolutely, if this makes you uncomfortable or it oversteps a line then this book might turn you off. I personally loved it. I even laughed out loud. There's nothing better for me than dirty words in a book used brilliantly. For me it was well placed humor in what could have ended up one of those dark and broody types of books where the world is going to end and the death toll might rack up to mind-boggling numbers.

And, because quite frankly it fit the hero well. Here's Parker in a nut shell:

“How in the world do you sleep at night?” (Carly the heroine)
“Not well. But I wake up the next day.” (Parker the hero)
Weaver, Raine (2012-05-22). Lucidity (Kindle Locations 269-270). Samhain Publishing, Ltd.. Kindle Edition.

He's a hard ass, wrapped in more armor, but he's still got heart. He's worked as a bodyguard most of his adult life. He's had to live in a world where someone on a daily basis was trying to kill him. Yet, even the sarcastic remark shows his world view isn't entirely pessimistic. It felt right that he should fall for...a hippie. Carly fell into her position (calling?) as one of the One Hundred because she's a dreamer. In this book take that in a literal sense. Her dreams can become a reality. She does in fact spend a lot of time in her head while Parker has to stay steeped in reality. It's a brilliant pairing of opposites attract. Yet she isn't a wilting flower. She was no damsel in distress standing around wringing her hands while you, the reader, is yelling WTFF? Yes, two Fs. We've all read that type. Carly's fear is understandable. Her backbone made me like her. She's smart and can keep up with Parker. I could totally see their HEA by the last page.

But, like I said Parker...Oh. Parker. Loved him. He made the book for me. So...to wind down this Parker love fest. This book ends with a surprising twist. There's sequel bait. Oh, I hope because even though the secondary character is a cad, Shep, I want to see what woman would tame him. Weaver's writing was just delicious. Her humor captivating. The sex scenes hot as hell. Girl's got writing skillz. Yes, with a Z. All in all a good read and I can't wait for Weaver's next book.

This book had heart, humor and hot sex. I absolutely adored the hero, Parker. Since I'm not a real reviewer I'd check out the blurb and if it sounds up your alley you should pick it up.
