A young girl forced to marry against her will because she got pregnant out of wedlock. the man who got her pregnant left her, she had her confinement in a home for women who were with child. she was tended by nuns who treated her like a sl** and tried to make her feel suicidal. if i could have thrown the kindle across the room i would have. free does not mean good.

Book 1 in the Soul of V’Kar series.Passion this strong is dangerous. They both know it. Mortal enemies, their respective factions have been at war since the dawn of man. Resa is a Dhampir, bred and trained to hunt Vampyres.

Neither reason nor devotion to duty can stay their need. There is but one way to quench the thirst that drives them. Once sated, they can return to the battle and see which one, if either, is left standing.But one drink from the cup of desire serves only to magnify the hunger. One act of lust that could alter them forever, changing the course of destiny.

Seduced by Blood (Erotic Paranormal/Vampire Romance)
definately adult paranormal romance, the intimate scenes are not as bad as i thought they'd be and sometimes even add to the plot.
Nevada Ortiz was an up and coming Los Angeles Police Officer until a chance encounter with a would-be carjacker changes the course of her life. The six and a half foot assailant is dripping with weapons, his preternatural blue eyes drilling into hers, his bite changing everything. Her body’s reaction to his blood, a
seduction within itself, goes hand and hand with raw, animalistic sex.
Nothing is as it seems and everything is in peril, including her life.
Gunner Slade is a vampire with secrets of his own, a soldier who can walk in the sun, a dose of Sangre allowing he and a team of vampires to blend in among the humans, until he puts everything on the line for a woman he can no longer exist without.
Nevada is the first human in existence to have an immunity to a vampire bite, and she requires the blood of two vampires to sustain her.
Not in his nature to share, Gunner Slade might be immortal, but he’s living in hell just the same.

Thirst (Ava Delaney #1)
finished Thirst (Ava Delaney #1). better plot than i hoped. fun and wierd. thankfully no sex. i actually want to read the next one.
Ava Delaney calls herself a hybrid - a living, breathing human who happens to have vampire poison running through her veins. The only thing greater than her thirst for human blood is her capacity for guilt. She does her best to avoid the human world, for everyone's sake.

Despite her misgivings, she expands her world but finds herself dragged into a possible vampire civil war.

Eye of the Tiger - Reincarnation Exists' and it shifts shape - a shapeshifter paranormal romance - a menage a trois story
its actually not as bad as the review sounds. surprisingly it makes sense in a weird sort of way.
Warning: Content has descriptions of explicit sex and is intended for adult readers only.- A detective investigating a bizarre gruesome killing in the Hollywood hills discovers definitive proof that reincarnation not only exists, it shifts shape - and has bad breath.Lt. Ray Stolz walks back from the forest into the lights of the crime scene, a 'changed' man. The medical examiner is looking at the body. No doubt the guy was killed by a big cat, probably a cougar.Yeah, Stolz agrees flatly. It must have been a cougar. But this will not be released to the press. Death will be from a sustained frenzied attack by a person, or persons unknown with criminal intent. He continues back to his car
