Date with Death by Eve Langlais (Review)


Date with Death by Eve Langlais
Age Warning: 18+
Published By: Liquid Silver Books
Genre: Adult Romance
Date Released: March 28, 2011
Provided By: Author through Giveaway


Synopsis:
Marigold has a date with Death, but when she foils his plan to take her soul back to Hell, she invites him to dinner instead.

Mictain, an Aztec god who now collects the dead for Satan, is baffled at his interest in the plump human who can see him. Intrigued--and in lust--he can’t help pursuing her. But things are never simple when gods are involved.

Lucifer, Lord of Hell tries to warn him away and even Marigold’s long lost father decides to butt in. But, despite the opposition, things heat up between them, and Marigold learns, when Death comes calling, it’s best to get naked and invite him into bed—and her heart.
My Review:
A funny sexy adult romance, this novellette is a short enjoyable read. Eve makes her characters very straight forward in Date with Death and because of that allows the story to flow and the reader to put themselves inside of the characters' heads easily.

Marigold is a normal girl except for the fact that she's a witch (or she thinks she is just that). When she sees death coming for her literally after trying to make a potion to rid her of the freckles she hates so much on her face, she stops him in the tracks and asks him to dinner. You heard me right, dinner; Mictain is just as surprised. The hot god from when the Azetc's roamed the world is now working for Lucifer collecting the dead  for their final decisions, and when he finds that Marigold can see him his game is thrown off. Wanting to investigate this further for both himself and his boss, Mick (as Marigold likes to call him) accepts the dinner date. And that is were things get hot.

The romance blooms quickly in this novellette and that is what makes it what it is. I really liked this short story and if you want a short hot adult romance to read then I suggest Date with Death by Eve Langlais. Check it out!

Between by Cyndi Tefft (Review)

Between by Cyndi Tefft
Age Warning: Mature Teen, My Suggestion 17+
Published By: Author
Genre: Romance
Date Released: 4/5/2011
Provided By: Author


Synopsis:
It just figures that the love of Lindsey Water's life isn't alive at all, but the grim reaper, complete with a dimpled smile and Scottish accent.

After transporting souls to heaven for the last 300 years, Aiden MacRae has all but given up on finding the one whose love will redeem him and allow him entry through the pearly gates.

Torn between her growing attraction to Aiden and heaven's siren song, Lindsey must learn the hard way whether love really can transcend all boundaries.
My Review:
In books you always look for one thing or another, and for me I look for romance, action, fantasy and cute guy leads. Between had all of that and more, plus a really beautiful cover to boot in my opinion. Cyndi Tefft has an imaginative world produced from current day Seattle, a beautiful lake house, and Scotland 300 years ago, which the two main characters Lindsey and Aiden bring to life beautifully.

After everything in Lindsey Water's life has gone wrong between her parents divorcing and her college friend putting the moves on her, she then has to go and die. But death has its perks and for Lindsey these perks included Aiden MacRae (LOVE the name ^_~). He's a transporter for the dead souls met for the gates of the afterlife, who also had his life cut short. Oh and to mention he is a hunky Scottish male. So no wonder that Lindsey starts to see him as a potential love interest. But when their time is cut short by the constant calls from heaven's siren and the real world, they have to fight to stay together. And hope for their happily ever after.

This story in ways is bitter sweet, I love the characters and the way Cyndi flash's back to the past so easily in Between. And I can't wait to see the continuation of Aiden and Lindsey's story in the sequel, Hell Transporter. So check out this really awesome read! It'll draw you in and keep you in the world easily as one, two, three.
