Blurb: Once upon a time ... A man was cursed to the Shadowlands, his heart replaced with a cold lump of gold. In legends, he became known as the Goblin King.

For a favored few he will grant a wish. Yet, desperately clinging to his waning human soul, his own desire remains unfulfilled: a willing Queen.

But who would consent to move from the modern-day world into the realm of nightmares? No matter how intoxicating his touch, no matter how deep his valor, loving him is dangerous. And the one woman who might dare to try could also destroy him forever.

Review: While I am certain that I am not the only one who scratched their head at the thought of a goblin as a hero...I am also willing to bet that I am not the only one who was blown away with Ms Husk and her ability to create a sinfully delicious tale that was both dark and super sexy :)

With a blurb that tempted and a plot and story that kicked ass, this rocking paranormal had everything that I needed...and then some ;) I am super glad that I took a chance on the Goblin King as it turned out to be a fantastic story with characters that will stay with me for a long time to come :)

Blurb: He’s the hulking, brooding warrior even his fellow Guardians avoid. Too dark. Too damaged. And given his heritage, he knows it’s best to keep everyone at arm’s length.

Isadora is missing. The words pound through his head like a frantic drumbeat. For her own protection, Demetrius did all he could to avoid the fragile princess, his soul mate. And now she’s gone—kidnapped. To get her back, he’ll have to go to the black place in his soul he’s always shunned.
As daemons ravage the human realm and his loyalty to the Guardians is put to the ultimate test, Demetrius realizes that Isadora is stronger than anyone thought.

And finally letting her into his heart may be the only way to save them both.

Review: Sultry, sexy and an all around bad ass book :)

For me there is just something super sexy about hot, brooding heros who have a secret soft spot for their woman. Call me a sucker but it works for me. This hot to trot tale was full of action, twists and turns. Non-stop thrills and passion that was super close to igniting the pages in my hand.

This is one for the paranormal die hards. Had this Kenyon Minon foaming at the mouth wanting more :)

Blurb: No man can outsmart him...

Lord Adrian Smythe may appear a perfectly boring gentleman, but he leads a thrilling life as one of England’s most preeminent spies, an identity so clandestine even his wife is unaware of it. But he isn’t the only one with secrets...

She’s been outsmarting him for years...

Now that the Napoleonic wars have come to an end, daring secret agent Lady Sophia Smythe can hardly bear the thought of returning home to her tedious husband. Until she discovers in the dark of night that he’s not who she thinks he is after all...

Review: BLOWN AWAY!!!! :)

This has got to be one of the best books that I have read all year. fast paced, briliant...I was sucked in from the start. Locked in the jaws of this gripping tale, I couldn't put it down until the last word was read. Straight up, this was a total smash hit and a feast for the eyes and imagination.

Ms Galen has crafted a masterpiece that will stand the test of time. This is one that will be in my library forever. :) *SNAPS*
