![]() ![]() No one lets someone break into their home for almost a year to have anonymous sex with them. I didn’t like it then and I don’t like it now. It’s eerily similar to Kristen Ashley’s Mystery Man premise. My first point of contention is the secret sex. That being said, Running Wild failed on multiple levels for me. An interesting premise hints at a troubled young man whose lover will do anything for him and ends up having to prove that. ![]() There aren’t many of them out there and I really enjoyed her Men of Honor series. ![]() Jakes was writing a M/M romance centering around a motorcycle club.

When things start to go south for Sean, Rykers protective instincts kick in and he drags Sean to the Havoc compound for safety. ![]() Ryker, a lieutenant for the Havoc motorcycle club, has been watching Sean for a long time but only recently gave himself permission to act on his attraction. As they spend more time together, Sean begins to realize that he wants more than just some stolen moments in the dead of the night. He knows nothing about the man except he is big, quiet, and amazingly talented in bed. Sean Rush, ex military, ex convict, and current car thief, has been having an affair for the last eight months with an unknown man who sneaks into his home late at night and fulfills all his sexual fantasies. ![]()

When the princess’s guard eats even that, however, all the perpetually undaunted Jack has left to offer the birthday girl is an elaborate account of his adventure. ![]() Of the whole cake, only the strawberry survives the trip past thieving blackbirds, a greedy troll, whispering woods and a ravenous-yet–fruit-despising bear. The boy bakes a cake for the princess, topping it proudly with the “reddest, juiciest, most succulent strawberry in the land,” and his obstacle-ridden journey to her party the next day forms the core of this jaunty, well-told tale. ![]() Young Jack, poor as dust, finds this mysterious missive-the king’s invitation to attend his daughter’s tenth birthday festivities. A winsome gouache-and-pencil landscape sets the stage-a hilltop castle, a messenger on horseback, an escaped letter fluttering under the door of a humble cottage. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Argo II definitely did not look friendly. What if this was a bad idea? What if the Romans panicked and attacked them on sight? The warship descended through the clouds, but Annabeth couldn’t stop second-guessing herself. Even that mysterious chill she’d been feeling since the ship launched had dissipated, at least for now. The last thing they needed as they flew a magical Greek trireme into a potentially hostile Roman camp was a middle-aged satyr in gym clothes waving a club and yelling “Die!”Įverything seemed to be in order. Most important, she pulled aside their war-crazed chaperone, Coach Gleeson Hedge, and encouraged him to take the morning off in his cabin and watch reruns of mixed martial arts championships. She reviewed the plan with the rest of the crew-and the backup plan, and the backup plan for the backup plan. She confirmed that the white “We come in peace” flag was flying from the mast. ![]() She’d paced the deck of their flying warship, the Argo II, checking and double-checking the ballistae to make sure they were locked down. ![]() Until she met the exploding statue, Annabeth thought she was prepared for anything. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy-after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera-it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all-including Leo-related to a god. What’s troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper’s gone missing. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Now her boyfriend doesn’t recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he’s in terrible danger. Apparently she’s his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they’re all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for “bad kids.” What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea-except that everything seems very wrong. ![]() He doesn’t remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. ![]() ![]() Jones also takes it a step further in this installment with the addition of hashtags which I LOVED! Then there were the countless references to Charley’s coffee addiction that always make me feel like we’re sisters-from-another-mother. ![]() As usual, this installment is packed with so many plot threads that trying to figure out how Lorelei King managed to cover them all in under 10 hours just might make your head explode.It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned the entertaining quotes this author uses at the beginning of each chapter, so it’s definitely worth repeating. Ok, so I know it’s bad form to start a review off by talking about the ending, but holy geez how can I not? I mean… the series just completely changed directions because of one revelation! I always feel like Darynda Jones leaves readers with more questions than answers, and that’s the case yet again with SIXTH GRAVE ON THE EDGE.
