Venom & Vanilla (The Venom Trilogy, #1)

It took me a while to get into this. At the start, I wasn't sure how to take it. We're thrown straight into it and it almost read as some bad comedy with her husband. It started off fine but then went a bit downhill with the Barbie thing. I honestly wondered what was happening.

It took a while for me to figure it out and get into the story, probably a good 20% and even then it wasn't a smooth read. I was still struggling to gel with the storyline and the main character. In truth that only happened in the last 30% or so and I actually started to like the book.

I would have liked more romantic content but I can't really moan because it is a trilogy and I'm sure more will happen in the next two books... it's just a case of will I read them? Hmm.

Black lion’s Bride ( Warrior trilogy book 2)
By Lara Adrian

As deadly as she is beautiful, Zahirah, daughter of the King of the Assassins, steals into the camp of the English army. She intends to murder King Richard, but her plan only delivers her into the hands of the enemy and puts her at the mercy of the dashing Black Lion, Sebastian of Montborne. Seeing only a mysterious beauty in need of his protection, Sebastian is unaware that Zahirah is the enemy he has sworn to destroy. Caught in a web of passion and deception, they now risk their lives to share a forbidden love.



I’m a sucker for historical romances and loved the first book in this series. I also enjoyed this one although I did find it a bit harder to fall into Sebastian is amazing it took me a little longer to like Zahirah! Overall it was a good read and would recommend

Was hooked and was a page turner (0 more)
There are 2 main cases going on (0 more)

I loved the 2 cases Lottie and Jack are investigating in this book. It seemed like they were going to be connected but it turns out they are not. The second case didn't get too much attention and didn't seem to progress/move on as much as I felt it should.
This is a genre I always read and it was really good. Was slightly different but this could be because it is a trilogy. Also not many of books I read have 2 main stories on going at the same time.
The book definitely made me want to continue reading and I can't wait to read the next 2 books. I'm hooked.
The author wrote the book really well - grammar was good and correct and it was easy to read.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only

In this quick but engaging read, we are transported to the highlands of the South Island of New Zealand; a beautiful but remote backdrop to this thrilling tale of the hunter unwittingly becoming the hunted.

Once again, I am not disappointed by the writings of Lance and James Morcan; they know how to pull you in and keep you there until the end. I was however disappointed that it wasn't a bit longer ... no sooner had the action began, than it ended which was a shame as I really feel more could have been made of the terrain and the cat and mouse games between the hunter and the hunted. However, it is what it is and it's still a great thriller with interesting and believable characters.

I would recommend anyone read Lance and James' books particularly The Orphan Trilogy which is for lovers of action, espionage, conspiracy theories or just people who enjoy a flippin’ good read ... you won't be disappointed.
