Title: Less Than a Gentleman Author: Kerrelyn Sparks Release Date: July 2, 2013 Where to Buy: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, brick-and-mortar stores Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars From the book: In this never-before-published historical romance, New York Times bestselling author Kerrelyn Sparks returns to the 18th century, where the fight for freedom is as dangerous as the fight for love.

REVIEW by Jena: How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake #1) by Kerrelyn Sparks (@KerrelynSparks, @avonbooks)

Nobody said love was perfect… Roman Draganesti is charming, handsome, rich…he’s also a vampire. But this vampire just lost one of his fangs sinking his teeth into something he shouldn’t have. Now he has one night to find a dentist before his natural healing abilities close the wound, leaving him a lop-sided eater for all eternity. Things aren’t going well for Shanna Whelan, either. After witnessing a gruesome murder, she’s next on the mob’s hit list. And her career as a dentist appears to be on a downward spiral, because she’s afraid of blood. When Roman rescues her from an assassination attempt, she wonders if she’s found the one man who can keep her alive. Though the attraction between them is immediate and hot, can Shanna conquer her fear of blood to fix Roman’s fang? And if she does, what will prevent Roman from using his fangs on her? This...

THE AVON AFFAIR REVIEW by LORNA: Wild About You (Love At Stake #13) by Kerrelyn Sparks (@kerrelynspakrs, @mollykatie112 , @AvonBooks)

THE AVON AFFAIR IS A 14-DAY AVON BOOKS REVIEW EVENT ORGANIZED AND HOSTED BY CURRENT AND ALUMNI MEMBERS OF THE AVON ADDICTS. New York Times bestselling author Kerrelyn Sparks pens the next installment in her witty Love at Stake series, featuring a band of vampires and shape-shifters—and those who dare to defy them, or desire them! In Wild about You, a warrior on a mission of revenge encounters the woman who may just be the key to his survival. Too bad the beauty who could save him is also the last woman he should fall in love with. If you love paranormal romances by Lynsay Sands, Katie MacAlister, and Mary Janice Davidson, you’ll love Kerrelyn Sparks. The premise of the book appealed to me-a werebear that has a gigantic crush on a home renovation television personality. Since I love watching those type of shows, I thought it might be something I would...

Be Still My Vampire Heart by Kerrelyn Sparks

Today is day 9 of the Avon Affair book review and blog tour. I thought we could talk about a favorite author of mine, Kerrelyn Sparks. I love all her books but my favorite one of her's has to be, Be Still My Vampire Heart.   When a beautiful mortal starts slaying vampires in Central Park, the Vamps call on their most powerful warrior to stop her—the general of the Vamp Army, Angus MacKay! The war is on, but will it end in their destruction…or in total surrender to a passion for the ages? Chapter One, Scene 2 Emma Wallace stomped her feet silently in the grass. The chilly air felt good as long as she was walking, but whenever she crouched behind a tree for very long, her legs grew stiff. This part of Central Park was dead, even too dead for the Undead. Time to move on. She...

How Wild Are The Authors of Vampires Gone Wild?

Which author went skinny dipping? Who tried to chop her husband’s head off with a sword? Here, the authors of Vampires Gone Wild ask each other some interesting questions about how wild they’ve been in real life: Kim Falconer: Kerrelyn, the hero and heroine in V is for VampWoman did some wild things… What was the wildest situation you've ever been in? Has it found its way into any of your books? Kerrelyn Sparks: My husband and I are almost as wild as Mikhail and Lady Pamela. On our honeymoon, we were on an island in the Caribbean, and one night we walked way down the beach to a spot that was deserted. We left our clothes behind some bushes and ran into the water. Whoopee! Unfortunately, another couple came along and sat on the beach and talked...and talked. We thought they'd never leave! We were trapped in the water...

In the Pink with Avon Romance - Laughing along with Paranormal Romance!

The month long Avon Addict Blog Hop continues at this link.   As part of this blog hop, I've chatted about Avon's historical romance at this link and Avon's contemporary romance at this link.   Avon also offers chilling paranormals .... but I go for the two Avon authors with biting humor.    In May 2007, Kathryn Falk invited me to NYC for Stars on Ice.   Kathryn is the founder of RT Book Reviews and SOS America, Inc.   I took the train from Baltimore and stayed overnight in her Brooklyn Heights carriage house (the house is a blog post for the future).   The guest room, of course, was stocked with romance books.  One book caught my attention - Lynsay Sands' SINGLE WHITE VAMPIRE, Book 3 in the Argeneau Series: A romance you can sink your teeth into. SWM - "Lucern." Successful biographer of family, books recently categorized as...
