My Review of "GianMarco (Blood Brothers #1)" by Eve Vaughn

GianMarco by Eve Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really do hate having to say this, but there are some books that bring out the natural-born wimp in me. So with that being the case, let me say this, I starting reading this book, got grossed out, and then fast forwarded through it. Although it had it's good points, in my opinion it just went a little too far with the overall "ickiness" of the sex(ual) scenes/dialog, menage and otherwise.

So with that being said, I'm going to cite someone else's review, as posted via Amazon.com:

4.0 out of 5 stars Somebody should have warned me November 27, 2013
By Dee
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Or at least called it for what it is...pnp, as in paranormal porn (i just made that up but it's catchy, right?). I didn't know beforehand but there's mfm & mmmf scenes as well as back door action. This book should have came with a red flashing warning sign. Definitely not for everyone. Hell, I'm still trying to figure out how I feel w/o examining my reaction too closely.

There's a storyline in the depravity...I think. And, there's a pretty decent plot . But to get into the story, you must set aside a great amount of logic and not flinch at some of the word choices, i.e "donkey dong" and intimate scenes. Not to mention, how these vampires feed or I should say, what they feed on is a little disturbing. Consuming blood is a given, but get this. These vampires also feed on secretions from sex organs. Yeah, that was one of many WTF moments for me. So you can imagine what happens when the heroine "feeds" from her husband's three brothers in such a fashion that allows them to simultaneously satisfy her hunger - as in all three making deposits at the exact same time. I will let you figure that one out (another WTF moment for me).

So why the high rating ? I'm glad you asked. Honestly, I like to be shocked from time to time, to be extremely disturbed, and conflicted. Torn between wanting to bathe in bleach and wanting a sneak peek of book 2. I don't recommend this book to everyone. In fact, I would never admit to reading it but dam, it was fun! LOL!

Fyi: cliff hanger and BBW advisory. (Dee, 2013)

With all of that being said, I'm going to merge my score of 2.5 stars and Dee's score of 4 stars, and give you a mean score of 3.25 stars.

My Review for Zena Wynn's "Beyond the Breaking Point"

Beyond the Breaking Point by Zena Wynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was great! Chock full of Delicious Drama, this book serves as a gigantic red light for those who are considering revenge sex as an act of warfare against a philandering spouse..

Not only did I enjoy the flow of the book, but I also enjoyed the multidimensional characters, and the way that Ms. Wynn conveyed their thoughts, actions, and feelings to her readers.

Other than that, the only things that I did not like about this book are the price (way too frickin' much), a few issues with typo's/editing, and the fact that this book is not legally lendable via Kindle (or even Nook, for that matter)...

*Note to Ms. Wynn - I understand that you're trying to make a living by writing and whatever else, but if you want to discourage piracy, why not make it easier for people to buy the book , share it with 1 person, thereby encouraging lots of other people to buy the book as well? What's so hard about that?*


Giving this one 4 1/2 stars...

My Favorite Things for the Week of November 28, 2013

This series is Highly Underrated!

The Dragon by Violette Dubrinsky
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This absolutely has to be one of the top 5 Interracial Romance-Suspense novels of all frickin' time! I don't know what Violette Dubrinsky is obtaining her Grad degree in, but one thing that I do know is this, and that is, that chica puts her heart & soul into a novel and does it with excellence!

LaTrivia Nelson & Sienna Mynx need to take some notes from Ms. Dubrinsky, because she definitely has the "goods"....

Not only did she produce a well-paced story that had the right flow, but she also did an excellent job with producing characters that were not flat in the least...

After reading this book, I'm convinced that Ms. Dubrinsky can hold her own with any writer (IRR and Mainstream)...

Giving this one 5 ginormous stars for a job well done!
