About Nicole

Attorney by day, Publicist for Barclay Publicity and reviewer/LE (assistant) editor by night. I'm a huge book nerd and love to read. I have 2 dogs, both Labrador retriever mixed breeds, who are very rotten and think they run the house. Let's not lie, they totally do, I just can't them know it ha ha! My usual genre is romance or urban fantasy. I love all things having to do with paranormal, with the occasional good contemp/BDSM/erotica thrown in to spice it all up.

Blood Rights by Kristen Painter

15 September 2011 Nicole 0

When I was at Lori Foster’s Reader/Author Get Together back in June, I had a chat with one of the attending agents.  She was very kind and talked with me about the business and answered my questions.  Also, she gave me an ARC of Kristen Painter’s debut UF novel, Blood […]

Black Wings by Christina Henry

12 September 2011 Nicole 2

I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I picked up Christina Henry’s Black Wings. I knew I wanted an urban fantasy novel to read, but the blurb was, IMHO, kind of vague (what is it with vague blurbs on a first in series novel??).  Again I was mostly pleasantly […]

Frostbound by Sharon Ashwood

10 September 2011 Nicole 2

I’d been putting off reading my ARC of Frostbound by Sharon Ashwood for a while because it’s the fourth in her Dark Forgotten series.  Um…yeah…thinking I should have read this one sooner! While it is the fourth, it works as a standalone, I didn’t feel lost and if it hadn’t […]

All You Desire by Kirsten Miller

5 September 2011 Nicole 2

I’ll admit, I’m usually pretty wary of reading a book that is part of a series if I haven’t read ALL the books in a series. However, All You Desire, the second novel in Kirsten Miller’s Eternal Ones series, looked very good and tempted me just enough to try it […]

Black Night by Christina Henry

31 August 2011 Nicole 1

After finishing Black Wings, I had to go ahead and pick up Black Night by Christina Henry.  There was so much to this world that I still wanted to know and I wanted to see how our heroine, Maddy, was dealing with all the new abilities, heritage, etc she had learned […]

Storm’s Heart by Thea Harrison

Storm’s Heart by Thea Harrison is the second book in Harrison’s Elder Races series. If you haven’t yet read the first book, Dragon Bound, RUN…and I do mean RUN to the nearest bookstore or ebook retailer of your choice and buy it already! This is a new series and it […]

Shadowflame by D. Sylvan

26 August 2011 Nicole 0

If you saw my review of the first book in this series, Queen of Shadows, you know that I adore this series.  I wasn’t all impressed with the synopsis (of either of these books, actually), but please please do not let that deter you.  After reading Queen of Shadows, I […]

Queen of Shadows by D. Sylvan

22 August 2011 Nicole 0

Ever pick up a book, think the cover looks kind of cool, only to turn to the back to read the synopsis and go…”eh, sounds like it may be ok” but you’re afraid it may fall flat? That’s how I originally felt about Queen of Shadows by Dianne Sylvan.  But, […]

My Fair Monster by L. DuBois

19 August 2011 Nicole 0

After reading Lila DuBois’  first book in her Monsters in Hollywood series, Lights Camera…Monster, I was more prepared for the erotic paranormal romance when I picked up the second in the series, My Fair Monster. Since the day three incredibly hot men in disguise walk into her office and proved […]

Wolfsbane by A. Cremer

16 August 2011 Nicole 0

I am a sucker for paranormal YA (in addition to PNR/UF adult novels). Also, I have a habit of picking up books with pretty covers.  This is how I stumbled upon Andrea Cremer’s Nightshade series.  The original cover for Nightshade  (Penguin has changed the designs, but they’re still gorgeous) was purple […]
