Oodles of reviews

There have been a lot of reviews coming in the past few weeks, but we'll share them in pieces in order not to make your eyes blur, lol.

First up, Ley over at Joyfully Reviewed read and reviewed three different Jamie Craig titles...

Ley from Joyfully Reviewed reviews Out of the Storm...

I really enjoyed this book. Out Of The Storm was sweet, hot, sexy, and plain ol’ cute! Poor Nick was so disappointed and heartbroken, Jay was exactly what he needed to perk things up again. These two didn’t get off on the right foot when they first met, but a little bit of wine did the trick to get them to start opening up. Jay couldn’t resist Nick’s charm and Nick was a slave to Jay’s beautiful sexiness. I just loved these guys.

Ley at Joyfully Reviewed reviewed Corazon

As the story progresses, the chemistry and passion between the two become stronger and more desperate. It also becomes clear that Miguel and Mason’s relationship is nothing more than the need of companionship. Corazón fittingly touched my heart mostly because of Anton. He’s the big, strong silent type who only wants acceptance and love and luckily he finds it with Mason.

Ley at Joyfully Reviewed reviews Fortune's Honor...

This story is so great! I loved, loved, loved Clay, he is a beautiful and honorable man inside and out and Paige was made for him. Paige and Clay took time getting to know each other and the love blossomed naturally, of course neither one was looking for it or expecting it but that’s when you know it’s real. Fortune’s Honor is such a sweet and enjoyable story and I know many readers will just love it.

And a couple other Jamie Craig titles...

Pam from My Book Cravings gives Mosaic Moon 4 flowers...

Mosaic Moon is the third book in The Master Chronicles and the first that I have read. I was afraid that in a book containing continuing characters that I would be lost, but the story contains just enough back-story to allow readers unfamiliar with the previous books to follow the complex plotline. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book can easily be read as a stand alone and still be thoroughly enjoyed. It also includes a well thought out and plotted suspense portion revolving around the stealing of magical powers from a mage friend of Jesse’s. So along with love, passion and sex, the reader gets a nice dose of deceit, magic, suspense and grave robbing.

The relationship between Gideon and Jesse is enduring, devoted and happy, with lots of blistering hot sex, and with the addition of lovely Emma it just gets hotter. Through it all the men stay totally committed to each other, and their love. Some readers might be uncomfortable with the stronger sexually explicit scenes that involve BDSM, but within the content of the story and the relationship of the characters it seemed well done, believable and very erotic. Once these three get past their misunderstandings and fear, watch out!

Carmen at The Romance Studio gives Double Down 4 1/2 hearts...

I thought the author did a great job handling a potentially explosive situation. To say that I felt badly for their respective partners is an understatement as I would hate to be in their shoes, but Cass and Patrick had wonderful chemistry. At first, the main goal appeared to be sex, but I saw a progression in their relationship as they truly seemed to care about each other. Even though they were aware of the dangers of getting caught, they couldn't seem to stay away from each other. This was a fast paced and easy read and I was anxious to see where Patrick and Cass were headed. Do they get their happily ever after or do they suffer the consequences of their actions? I highly recommend reading Double Down to find out.

And finally, FAR gave my Ellora's Cave release its highest rating!

Missy at Fallen Angel Reviews gives As It Should Be 5 Angels and a Recommended Read...

Ms. Dean touched my heart, my soul and my very being with this inspirational story. I must admit that I’ve never read an erotic inspirational love story before but this one fits that bill. To be in Nora’s shoes, knowing that her husband that she loved with everything in her is back and she can tell him good-bye one more time means the world to her. This is something that I think we would all do if given the chance and this author captures that storyline perfectly. The time that the characters spend together is erotic and the love shines through in their behavior. This story is one of the most unforgettable ones that I’ve ever read, and after you read the love story between Nora and Marshall I’m sure that you’ll agree with me that it deserves to be a Recommended Read.

Liaisons in Jubilee--5 Angels from FAR

Reviewer: Chris P
Rating: 5/5 Angels

Jamie Craig knows how to create a great story. Caleb is one hot man, with eyes like dark chocolate, dark brown hair a little too long, and a moustache and goatee that frame a sexy mouth. How could Katie resist him? Katie is smart and passionate about her job, and Caleb. The sex scenes between them are hotter than the sand on the beach. How could anyone give up something that spectacular? Liaisons in Jubilee was true to today's business world and people who get caught up in trying to follow the rules. The plot moved along nicely, and I wanted to help Katie and Caleb find a way to stay together. With curl-your-toes sex and two hot bodies coming together in a blaze of passion, Liaisons in Jubilee would make anyone ready to book a room at the nearest resort.

Mosaic Moon--4 Stars from FAR

Reviewer: Ashley
Rating: 4/5 Angels

Gideon and Jesse are back again in the third book of the Master Chronicles, Mosaic Moon. In the previous book we were introduced to Emma. She is back as well and now Jesse wants to be more than just her friend. But first, Gideon must figure out who is stealing power from the strongest mage in the city.

So far I have loved every book of this series, and Mosaic Moon does not disappoint. The chemistry between Gideon and Jesse are hot as ever, and throwing Emma into the mix just turns up the heat. The relationship between the three is completely realistic, and I couldn’t have asked for a better story. There is also the usual crime to solve, and this one was as good as the last two. I was looking forward to, and pleased with the re-appearance of Black John. Jamie Craig’s writing is brilliant, and she has written two of my favorite characters ever with Gideon and Jesse. It’s hard to stop reading their stories, and I can only hope that there will be many more books. I also love a story thaies, and I can only hope that there will be many more books. I also love a story that has both fantastic sex scenes, and an intriguing plot that is full of substance.

Unveiled--4 Angeles from FAR

Reviewer: Ashley
Rating: 4/5 Angels

Unveiled takes us back into the lives of Jesse and Gideon, who were first introduced in Jamie Craig’s first Master Chronicles book. Gideon is a centuries old vampire who also happens to be a private detective. Jesse is his employee turned lover. This time around they find themselves at the scene of a vicious crime. Unwilling to turn their backs, they dive into the cruel world of vampire art. With the help of Emma, a woman they have saved from the vampire club, they try to figure out who is behind the murders and keep it from happening again.

At first I was unsure of how I would feel about another character coming into play, but after reading it I can’t think of anything bad to say about Unveiled. I love the connection between Gideon and Jesse. Their interactions are exactly what I want from a story like this. I was worried that the introduction of Emma would take away from that, and I was very pleased to see that she doesn’t. Jamie Craig did an excellent job of keeping the relationshiat she doesn’t. Jamie Craig did an excellent job of keeping the relationship between Jesse and Gideon has intense and exciting as it was in Master of Obsidian. Emma doesn’t take anything away, she adds so much more to the story. Emma is smart and strong. She has her head on her shoulders and she is a very easy character to like.

New Review: FAR Master of Obsidian

Gideon is a vampire private investigator. He helps humans with his assistant, Jesse. Jesse is human and has been in love with Gideon every since the two became best friends. He hides, or thinks he does, his attraction and tries to continue on as usual. They take a case to find the murderer of a councilman’s son. The case leads them into a dark alley, where Gideon shows Jesse just how much of the boss he is, in all ways.

Jamie Craig wrote an excellent erotic vampire story. I was hooked from the first page. The emotions between Gideon and Jesse felt real and I felt like I was a part of their journey from friends to lovers. Gideon is strong and he knows how to care for Jesse, while at the same time being the dominant lover that Jesse needs and wants. He has a dark past and it’s easy to see that he has changed and that he isn’t the bad guy, even while playing one with Jesse. Jesse is strong in his own way, he doesn’t back down and he doesn’t run when things get rough. These two characters are what I look for in a book, they had a presence and they complimented each other extremely well. Master of Obsidian is a fantastic story about the darker side of love. Jaime Craig has found a new devoted fan with me.

New Review: FAR Craving Kismet

Reviewer: Rachel C
Rating: 4/5 Angels
Link to Review.

When Jenny Rohm meets Ashley Edwards at a party her fiancé has to attend for work, she’s pleased to find someone nice to talk to. But with that first flirty conversation Jenny and Ashley find themselves attracted and Jenny can’t get Ashley out of her head even when she’s with Brian, her fiancé. And with Brian now working closely with Ashley, Jenny can’t avoid him. The more time she spends with Ashley the more she’s attracted to him. Consumed with guilt over her fantasies of Ashley, she tries to ignore her growing desire for him.

Ashley has always gone after what and who he wants and Jenny is no different at first, but as he gets to know Brian, for the first time in his life he backs off from taking what he wants, Jenny. Every time he’s with Jenny he’s consumed with desire for her and becomes more intrigued and fascinated by this woman who shows such loyalty to another man. At each meeting their friendship and desire for each other grows. But when Ashley discovers that Jenny isn’t as happy with Brian as he thought, he sets out to have her. And once Ashley sets out to get something nothing gets in his way.

Jamie Craig has woven a beautiful story of love, loyalty and desire. I found myself cheering for Jenny when she stood her ground against an overwhelming desire for someone that wasn’t her fiancé, but then pleading with her to take the plunge and go for it with Ashley. The chemistry between Ashley and Jenny is palpable from the minute they speak. Caught between loyalty and desire Jenny’s struggle is real and alive with every paragraph of Craving Kismet. Jenny is such a strong character, and I found her completely three dimensional. It’s often very difficult to keep a woman feminine when she has a masculine job, but Jamie Craig has brought her to life without a problem. Her portrayal of Ashley is also to be applauded. Here’s a man so self confident that he’s never backed away from anything or anyone, single or married, it’s never mattered to him before. Only now he finds he cares about hurting these two people. First the young man he’s working with and then the woman he wants with what is rapidly becoming an obsession. Caught between his desire and growing friendship with Jenny, Ashley is confused by his own restraint. Jamie Craig has such a wonderful way with words, and I found myself being far more enthralled by this book than I expected. It’s a deeply emotional book and well worth reading again.
