Product Description

THE CLAIMED

Victoria Johnson loves her life. She's her own boss in a quaint beachside town, and has great friends who keep her grounded. If only they knew who she really is: an heiress to an ancient race who possesses astonishing superhuman powers. It's Victoria's duty to restore her clan of Light Hunters to their former glory by choosing the perfect mate. In Christopher Sombrosa, she just may have found him. Strong, smart, and successful, Christopher exudes a powerful energy. Their connection is sensual, irresistible - and forbidden.

A member of the Shadow Hunter clan, Christopher has defied his own father to lead his people away from affliction and violence. Yet he cannot ignore his duty to carry on his ancient bloodline. Stunningly beautiful and brimming with an erotic life force, Victoria is everything Christopher ever hoped for in a mate . . . but as a Light Hunter, she's his mortal enemy. Together, they could unite their warring tribes. But murderous factions on both sides don't want peace - and they'll stop at nothing to keep light and darkness apart forever . . .

My Review:

Christopher Sombrosa is a member of the Dark Shadow Clan and has defied his father by leading his people away from violence and sucking human and their enemies life forces.  With his best friend and cadre leader Ryan by his side he is trying to put his team into into order and to revert to the ancient way to battle the plague that has haunted their team for centuries.

Victoria Johnson is a Light Hunter and is next in line to take over the ocean tribe.  She's owns her own beachfront store and has great friends who keep her grounded in her human life.  It is her duty to restore her tribe to its former glory by choosing a powerful mate.  She believes she has found it in Christopher, a sexy, smart, successful and rich man.

The story was well written, steamy love scenes, action-pack and well developed characters.

Stronger than Sin (Sin 2) [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Stronger than Sin" the 2nd book in her Sin series by Caridad Pineiro.

Product Description

Dr. Liliana Carrera nearly lost her life to Wardwell scientists. She won't let them harm other innocent victims, like her new patient, Jesse Bradford. The former pro athlete had the best hands in the NFL . . . until an injury forced him to undergo Wardwell's experimental gene therapy. Now Jesse's gorgeous body is superhuman-but his strength comes at a price.

With Wardwell threatening his family, Jesse can't tell Liliana all he knows. Yet he can't resist her compassion . . . or her healing, erotic touch. As their passion flares, Jesse's body becomes dangerous and volatile. For evil men are plotting to change the face of humanity-and will destroy whoever stands in their way.

My Review:

A man shows up claiming to be FBI, and wants Liliana to treat an escapee, Jesse Bradford, a hunky ex football player who joined the treatment in order to get better since he is suffering from a disease. They implanted genes into him, and now those genes are going crazy and he is getting an exo-skeleton, because where he gets a wound, bone heals it. And when the whole of you are just bone, well then you die. The evil guys blackmail him by saying they would harm his little sister!

I really like Jesse because he feels so bad lying to Liliana while very attracted to her!  He's basically a really great guy just in a bad situation!

I really like Liliana because she's strong, smart and doesn't let any man walk all over her!  She was in a bad relationship so she is wary of men (I don't blame her)!

The relationship between Liliana and Jesse slowly builds up but when they finally come together they steam up the pages!

Caridad Pineiro - Sins of the Flesh Giveaway

Sins of the Flesh (Mass Market Paperback)

Product Description

Caterina Shaw's days are numbered. Her only chance for survival is a highly experimental gene treatment-a risk she willingly takes. But now Caterina barely recognizes herself. She has new, terrifying powers, an exotic, arresting body-and she's been accused of a savage murder, sending her on the run.

Mick Carrera is a mercenary and an expert at capturing elusive, clever prey. Yet the woman he's hunting down is far from the vicious killer he's been told to expect: Caterina is wounded, vulnerable, and a startling mystery of medical science. Even more, she's a beautiful woman whose innocent sensuality tempts Mick to show her exactly how thrilling pleasure can be. The heat that builds between them is irresistible, but surrendering to it could kill them both . . . for a dangerous group is plotting its next move using Caterina as its deadly pawn.

My Review:

Storyline: I really enjoyed the storyline because it was quite different.

Characters: The characters were well written especially Caterina, Mick and Liliana.  The villians were well written too and they were quite vile and horrible.  Definately don't want to meet them in real life.

Romance: Wow I loved the romance between Catrina and Mick (it was tender and caring) and they didn't rush into bed.  They got to know each other before they did.  You can feel the heat between them.

Killer(s): Wow the killers are quite vile, horrible and deadly especially Mad Dog and this other character I can't remember his name.
