Finished, last night Touch of a Dark Wolf ~ Jennifer St Giles
Synopsis:
Jennifer St. Giles begins a dazzling new series that takes you into a world of seductive shape shifters and mystical beings, and into the hearts of a band of heroic warriors known as The Shadowmen. . . .
Yesterday, Erin Morgan worked for a pioneering Manhattan medical center. Today, she's on the run, witness to a chilling conspiracy. Fleeing for her life in the Tennessee mountains, she is run off the road by a mysterious beast . . . and things only get stranger when she wakes the next day to find a naked Adonis sprawled on the hood of her car.
For centuries, Jared has been a shape shifter, sworn to protect mortals like Erin. But in saving her, Jared has damned himself, for the poison from his battle wound stirs a terrible blood lust. Determined to protect Erin, Jared stays by her side and discovers a sensual rapture beyond imagining . . . and a love that can change his fate. But can Jared overcome his savage thirst and protect Erin from the beast within?
My thoughts:
A very easy and enjoyable book. Quite sexy in places, a perfect bed time read!
I thought the characters were described well and I visualised them all very easily in my mind. A good mix of excitement and romance with a supernatural twist of vampires and werewolfs. Really looking forward to the second book, Lure of the Wolf which I will be starting tonight.
If you want a sexy and exciting supernatural romance, this is the book for you!

Thank you!
-
Nope not yet, still buzzing! I have driven everyone at work mad this morning with the photos! Hee hee I want to see them again!
-
I don't mind and I don't think all the other thousands of NKOTB fans mind either!
-
Yup makes me old too!
I have to say that their new album is absolutely fantastic - so different from their old stuff.
Even my 13 year old son likes their new stuff! -
Oh for goodness sake - as if this programme wasn't confusing enough already!
-
Thanks Karen - fab photos aren't they!
-
Hello and welcome!
-
Sorry I'm a Robbie fan I'm afraid, Went to see him in Dublin too, absolutely fantastic!!
I have been to see him four or five times now - the best one was Knebworth! Love him.
-
Thanks Charm, Roxi and Stephanie. I have just started to calm down lol!
-
OMG! NKOTB was fantastic last night - by pure luck we had seats rights where they came on a little stage in the middle of audience, they were so close we could touch them!
I am completely in love with them again!
Here are just a few of the photos I took!
-
I will give a book around 50-100 pages and if I still can't get into it I have no hesitation in giving up on it!
The way I look at it is there are so many good books out there, why waste time on one I don't like?

Chicken with garlic and mushrooms with dauphine potatoes and veg

How come ER can always make me cry?
-
Yep I use it all the time as well. A really usefull site.
-
We eat an awful lot of pasta. It is just so versatile and easy.
Tonight we are having some sort of pasta bake, not sure exactly what yet as I will be going shopping after work.

I am reading two review books at the moment, one during the day and one in bed at night!

Nightswallow ~ Bronwen Winter Phoenix
Night Swallow is dead. A former travel journalist, she lost herself in beautiful worlds far from the London apartment where she was murdered. Following a series of dark events on an isolated island, she must face her face as she is forced to learn the ways of the spirits around her. As things start to spiral out of control, she is sucked deeper into a world she no longer recognises to battle the unstoppable force she uncovered on her travels. With help from mesmerising spirits along the way ~ Magnus, a mysterious loner; Gabrielle, an extravagant former theatre actress and Leon, an unusual librarian with a penchant for seeing the dead ~ Night has to stop her killer from destroying all that she loved. But will her unfinished business lead her to the final answer?

That's a great cover Bronwen! The book arrived today, thanks! I can't put it down already!

*runs into a wall while holding scissors*BAHAHA. In fairness, I have to agree with ii there. I USED to adore Westlife... when I was about 12. Not so much now XD
I still love them and will remain loyal!

5. ~ I went to see Westlife:smile2:at the Glasgow SECC
So that's you with Westlife, Kat with Boyzone and me with NKOTB. Excellent! Boy bands rule!

ii - i'm surprised you haven't had anything to say with all this marriage talk.....
Books being thrown etc.... Right, another five for me:
1. I am Chief Bridesmaid for my sister's wedding and I have been fitted and ordered my dress.
2. My cat wakes me up at 6.48 every morning - 2 minutes before my alarm goes off!
3. I am addicted to Most Haunted.
4. I used to smoke but gave up over 2 years ago.
5. I saw Guns n Roses at Wembley Stadium in 1992.

I'm still reading Bronwen's book, but also starting on another review book:
The Lure of the Wolf ~ Jennifer St Giles (book 2 in the Shadowmen series)
Mighty warriors sworn to protect humanity, the shape-shifters known as The Shadowmen move between two worlds. Now their dark leader has exiled himself from the spirit world, opening the door to the forces of chaos...and to the power of love.
Half wolf, half man, Aragon has abandoned his brethren to repay a debt of honor; he is sworn to kill a rogue Blood Hunter, though exacting revenge will doom him to a ghostly existence trapped between two worlds. But when a mortal woman unexpectedly calls him to her side, the heat of her soft flesh arouses a hunger in him that threatens to complicate his mission.
Dr. Annette Batista, a dedicated healer, is determined to find her missing sister. With the amulet found at the site of her sister's disappearance, she unwittingly summons a shadowy warrior. She wonders if she can trust this powerful male named Aragon, who claims he can vanquish her sister's captor -- the very monster he's vowed to destroy. Or is Annette blinded by her shocking passion for the most alluring, mysterious man she's ever seen?
