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.

JWHill-Hostile Takeover

Hostile Takeover by Joey W. Hill

29 September 2012 Nicole 0

Who else is on a BDSM kick? I know I can’t be the only one *G*.  If you’re whetting your appetite and just starting to read some BDSM, Hostile Takeover by Joey Hill may or may not be a good one for you to read. It’s not overly heavy on […]

JDrake-Trixie

The Asylum Interviews: Trixie by Jocelynn Drake

27 September 2012 Nicole 0

The Asylum Interviews: Trixie is the second prequel in Jocelynn Drake’s new series, The Asylum Tales.  As the title denotes, in this novella, we get to learn how Trixie and Gage (the hero of the series) meet.  A disclaimer here, I read Angel’s Ink, the first full length novel of the […]

If I Were You by Lisa Renee Jones

23 September 2012 Nicole 0

I’ve realized something today (well, the day I wrote this post, which won’t be the day it’s live)…after seeing the last 3-4 books I’ve read, I apparently am on a contemp romance, specifically those with BDSM themes, kick. Yeah, not sure what’s up w/that, either…other than some would classify it […]

Rev it Up by Julie Ann Walker

12 September 2012 Nicole 3

I love me a good romantic suspense and Rev it Up by Julie Ann Walker delivered quite nicely. A sexy hero, (heh, there are LOTS of sexy men, actually *G*) and a psychopath on the warpath. Yep…Rev it Up had it all. Career soldier Jake “The Snake” Sommers has made […]

ACarlson-Full Blooded

Full Blooded by Amanda Carlson

26 August 2012 Nicole 2

I met the wonderfully fab Amanda Carlson while at the Authors After Dark and as a featured blogger, LE got a few extra perks, namely some ARCs.  One of those was Amanda’s Full Blooded.  Since I had the pleasure of meeting with her, when I was looking through my stack […]

SDay-Bared to You

Bared to You by Sylvia Day

13 August 2012 Nicole 0

If you’re a regular reader of LE and the reviews, you may have noticed that I’ve been in a romance reading slump over the last few months, with reading a LOT of UF and YA.  I was browsing Edelweiss a few weeks ago and came across Bared to You by Sylvia […]

Dark Kiss by Michelle Rowen

11 August 2012 Nicole 0

Awhile back, I was looking to see if there was anything that piqued my interest in the YA genre.  I ended up coming across Michelle Rowen’s new YA novel (which is a new series, too!!), Dark Kiss, and thought the synopsis looked new and fresh and interesting, so I started […]

Blood of Innocence by Tami Dane

5 August 2012 Nicole 0

I enjoy romantic suspense as well as paranormal romance/UF novels.  Tami Dane’s Sloan Skye series seems to combine the elements of RS with some freaky paranormal elements.  So of course I’m gonna be all about reading it *G*. Blood of Innocence is the 2nd novel in the series and I really […]

CNeill-Biting Cold

Biting Cold by Chloe Neill

1 August 2012 Nicole 0

I’m a huge Ethan Sullivan…er Chicagoland Vampire series, fan.  And I’ll admit, the last couple of books had left a kind of bitter/sour taste in my mouth.  I won’t give away any plot spoilers for Hard Bitten or Drink Deep, but the story arc and writing just hadn’t felt up […]

JRush-Darkness Becomes Her

Darkness Becomes Her by Jaime Rush

30 July 2012 Nicole 0

Oh the lure of a good sounding blurb.  The blurb for Darkness Becomes Her by Jaime Rush totally sucked me in.  However, I’m sad to say I had to DNF Darkness Becomes Her; it was just lack-luster and I couldn’t connect with the characters or the storyline. They live ordinary […]
