Unsucky Hot Romances of 2008
By an Amazon.com customer
The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld, Book 1)The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld, Book 1) by Gena Showalter
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.68
A FAB-u-lous new spicy paranormal series kicks off with this book. Tightly written plot and good characters. (Note that the sex wasn't hot enough or prolific enough to put this series in the erotic category.) I was dying for more. Totally addicted.
The Darkest Kiss (Lords of the Underworld, Book 2)The Darkest Kiss (Lords of the Underworld, Book 2) by Gena Showalter
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.49
Book 2 in Gena Showalter's Lords of the UnderWorld. Also good. Love the tattoos visually and also the idea. These aren't just any old tattoos.
The Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld, Book 3)The Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld, Book 3) by Gena Showalter
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.60
Book 3 of Gena Showalter's series. Good, too. My favorite cover.
Raine: The Lords of SatyrRaine: The Lords of Satyr by Elizabeth Amber
Buy new: $9.32 / Used from: $4.20
A startling follow-up to Nicholas (#1). I actually read it before Nicholas and loved it, but then after I read Nicholas I realized I liked N even more. The heroine in R is unusual and really interesting--I'm betting you've never read anything like her or like the bros in this series. Story is historical erotic with a tinge of paranormal.
Lyon: Lords Of Satyr (The Lords of Satyr)Lyon: Lords Of Satyr (The Lords of Satyr) by Elizabeth Amber
Buy new: $9.32 / Used from: $6.50
My favorite of the 3 Lords of Satyr books. My order of liking and why: LYON: Believable romance and twisting-turning plot are the best, and the sex is a-maz-ing! NICHOLAS: Incredible series idea and sex RAINE: Heroine and sex make it a worthy read
SurrenderSurrender by Kimberly Zant
Buy new: $7.91 / Used from: $7.48
The plot isn't big or twisty or surprising, but the characters are well-written individuals. And the sex is amazing, if you like to read menage, that is.
Wicked Pleasure (Bound Hearts)Wicked Pleasure (Bound Hearts) by Lora Leigh
Buy new: $10.04 / Used from: $4.87
"Lora Leigh continues to be the queen of hot romance in my opinion. She's usually contemporary though, and I tend toward hot historical or an erotic-paranormal mix. The strength of her books is their alpha males and well-written sex that'll have you gripping the pages."
PassionPassion by Lisa Valdez
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.00
An all time favorite. Very sexy, launches right into hotness from the beginning. Excellent writing and plot, too. More, please, Lisa!
Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6)Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6) by J.R. Ward
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.17
Not my favorite in the series, but if you've read the series up to here, you gotta read it. The bar is high for Ward, which isn't really fair in a way because if you don't compare this one to how much you loved her other books, this is great.
At Love's Command (Brothers in Arms, Book 3)At Love's Command (Brothers in Arms, Book 3) by Samantha Kane
Buy new: $16.23 / Used from: $14.99
I hadn't read the earlier 2 books, but I plan to. This one's most appealing feature is that it has great sex and emotional content.
