Untamed by Brenda K. Davies BLOG TOUR

My Review:  

Man or monster?  It's the question Ethan constantly asks himself as he battles with murderous urges whenever he's around humans.  He and his family are all vampires, but not all vampires are alike.  His family are pure bloods.  He and his siblings were born into a family of vampires.  They didn't have to be turned like those that aren't pure bloods.  And they can do things that other vampires can't, like being able to tell if a vampire is a killer of humans or not by their smell.  This sin't a normal vampire trait unless you're in their family.  Ethan decides to get away on a vacation of sorts for a while with his sister and brother-in-law (Isabelle and Stefan).  They are disgustingly in love with each other while Ethan wonders if he will ever find his mate.  Since he is traveling down a path that could lead to him turning into a crazed monster, he highly doubts it.  Then he meets Emma while on his vacation.  She's a very sweet and kind girl, and a human.  Ethan has always made it a point to avoid humans, but this one won't let him go and he finds himself entangled in a very complicated relationship that is quickly spiraling out of control.  Things go from crazy to insane when Emma's ex turns up and he's not what anyone expected.  It turns out that Tristan has changed quite a bit in the last year and not for the better.  He's bound and determined to take Emma back, but there's no way Ethan will ever let that happen.  Even if he has to let the beast out to protect his mate.  Hopefully afterwards he can put it back in.

This third book in the Vampire Awakenings Series can be read as a stand alone or as a part of the series.  It's another fabulous read by Brenda K. Davies with a great story line and hot immortal vampires!  There's nothing like a good story about a guy who is seriously conflicted and constantly hiding it from the world, including his closest friends and relatives.  I also like how he misjudged Stefan and Ethan finds out that there are others who have struggled just like him with the impulse to murder humans.  The blood lust in some seem to be uncommonly powerful.  Ethan comes into contact with some of these vampires and they help him get through this trial while he tries to figure out what to do about Emma.  She and her friends find out by accident what he is and she has a hard time dealing with it for a while.  Through it all, one thing is certain though and that is how they feel about each other.  But she has to choose whether to act on these feelings or not.  If she does, she becomes like him and they are together forever.  If she doesn't, she destroys him.  How much of a sacrifice would it be to give up her life so she can regain a new one with the man she is supposed to be with?

Untamed by Brenda K. Davies BOOK TRAILER!!!

I have an awesome book trailer for you for Untamed by Brenda K. Davies that is due to release pretty soon!!

A Stolen Heart by Brenda K. Davies

  Alexandra Harris is anything but a proper lady.  In a time where women always need an escort, are never alone with a man, always wear dresses, and do women's work, she does just the opposite.  She can work like a man, dresses like a man, and goes to see Henry by herself every week.  Henry was a friend of her father's before he died.  Although her reputation is non-existent, Alex stopped caring two years ago when her father passed.  After that, all she cared about was getting even with the man who had made everyone's life a living hell if they happened to own land in the area.
   Murdoch was more than just ambitious.  He was willing to do whatever it took to get what he wanted.  Some of the farmers had already sold out and left because they could no longer get by, or they no longer wanted to deal with disappearing or dead cattle and livestock, and burned barns.  The community knew who was to blame, but there was never enough evidence and the sheriff was in Murdoch's pocket.  Alex and her brother, Hugh, had started robbing some of Murdoch's shipments of money and distributing it among the farmers to help them get by.  What they didn't know this time was that there was a new hired gun to help get the money through and he was very good.  In the end, the new guy, Jarrett, and Alex were both shot.  She shot him in the upper thigh and he shot her in the arm.  Since neither were fatal shots, both recover just fine.  But Jarrett is after revenge.  He wants to bring in the boy (who he doesn't know was actually Alex) that shot him and caused all of this trouble.  Bad news is that red heads are not common in this area, so Alex and Hugh have to be very careful and keep their heads down for a while.
   All the while, Megan, Alex's best friend, is watching the events unfold and knows once again that Alex is in trouble.  She believes none of the rumors in town about her friend and knows all of the story behind her anger.  It is a deep and sad story that Jarrett will come to know as well.  And as he does, he will gradually fall for this beautiful woman who makes his blood run hot.  But Jarrett has competition from a few men in town, and one of them is dangerous.  And Alex loves to live dangerously without ever thinking of her own safety.  It will be a stroke of luck if he can tame her enough to make her see just how much danger she puts herself in.


   I don't read many western style books, and I was surprised to see this particular author write a book like this, but it was really good!  It has some adult themes so it is not for anyone under the age of 18, but there is also a great story line to it as well.  Back in the Old West, women were expected to be proper and act like delicate flowers.  Alexandra is a tough-as-nails woman and is not about to change just because people talk bad about her.  Her world is full of secrets and heartache.  The only people she has are Hugh, Megan, Daryl (Megan's husband), and Henry.  That is, until Jarrett comes along.  Unfortunately he is the most protective of them all after more of Alex's story is revealed to him.  He has to learn that the harder they tighten the reins on her, the more she resists.  Even her brother thinks he has her in hand to a degree, but Alex knows what Hugh is up to.  Jarrett must pick a side, since his employer was the one causing all of the trouble.  And he must find a way to protect Alex from those who would do her harm, physically or mentally.

Reclamation (Book 3 of The Ravening Series) by Erica Stevens TEASER

   The saga continues...Bethany and Cade are still running for their lives, but things are changing.  The death and destruction left from the aliens have reached an all time high and the group can barely stomach what they are seeing.  As lives are continually in jeopardy, so are Cade and Bethany's secrets about who they both really are.  And the secret does come out that Cade is one of the aliens.  Fortunately because of his love and dedication to Bethany, they don't try to kill him.  But the group remains very distrusting of him.  Who would blame them after what they had seen and been through?  Then there is Bethany's little secret about the changes Cade's blood made within her.  Everyone finds out about that too and suddenly she is on the bad list as well.  She lied to everyone about that and Cade.  But Cade will do anything for Bethany to make sure she survives and has the life she deserves.  And that includes a very daring move to try and rid Earth of the aliens that continue to stalk it.  It's the only move they have.  With the help from a very unusual source, they have to at least try to save the world.  If they don't succeed, all will be lost.

"There's something about certain humans that entangles us.  There's something about them that we react to, and it is only one of them for each of us."

   This book made me want to laugh and cry.  It makes you feel like you are living it.  You can feel yourself wading through the emotional turmoil of the characters.  It is an amazing ending to an amazing series!  Make sure you check it out!  The book comes out January 28th!
