Since we've missed the last few weeks I figured it wouldn't hurt to show off two covers...

After the way Lora ended Nauti Siren with Lyrica, yeah let's just say it was one hell of a cliff hanger! :( But luckily I am patient when it comes to my favorite series. With the Nauti Enchantress cover I know it's not the normal hot guy but this chick is hot and she's rockin' that skirt and boots. So I had to show it off!!! :) And BTW, if you haven't read Lora Leigh's Nauti books, Boys in specific, I recommend to stop what you are doing and get yourself to a bookstore, because they are NOT to be missed! And these girls are giving the boys a run for their money!!! ;)

Now for Hunter's Heart, well I think the cover speaks for itself! All of the covers for the Alpha Pack are hot, especially Black Moons, but this one I think is almost if not the best one yet!!! And I CAN NOT WAIT for this book! September seems so far away. :)

This book just released, and I know everyone has already seen the cover....but I had to share it for Cover Lust this week. I could not stop drooling over it when I saw it!  When I was reading it, I was thinking how the cover definitely gave justice to how Kyden was described and what he wore in the book.  You may not see his face on the cover...but you know what he looks like from behind.  I would not be able to get anything done with Kyden around on what he was wearing and the big sword as well...yup...he definitely won me over in this book.  =)  This has to be one of my FAVE covers of Stacey Kennedy's and now I want more of the series.  =)

Oh and I had to share a 2nd cover this week thanks to Julie Ann Walker showing it off on her site.  I think "Born Wild" is now my FAVE cover of all of them now. I have a thing for guys and tattoos and "Born Wild" is definitely is SEXY!  Oh and it helps with the gorgeous, sexy motorcycle in the background.
I seriously love the BLACK KNIGHTS INC!!!!  =)

Werewolves Be Damned
(Magic & Mayhem #1)
by: Stacey Kennedy
Publishing Date: 4/15/13
Publisher: Entangled Publishing
Genre: Urban Fantasy Romance

Description:
Nexi Jones—part witch, part guardian, and wannabe kick-ass warrior—can’t throw a punch or conjure the simplest magic. But that doesn’t stop her from hunting the werewolves who slaughtered her human family. She’ll have her revenge, but only if Kyden, the elite guardian, would get the hell out of her way. 
Kyden can’t decide if Nexi wants to get herself killed or if she just has no clue what she’s doing. But her father made it clear: keep Nexi safe…or else. Of course, the more Nexi runs toward revenge, the more she needs Kyden’s aid, and as she grows into her power and confidence, so does his desire to protect her. The only problem? She’d rather he dropped dead. 
But when a vampire paints a bull’s-eye on Nexi’s back, she’s hard-pressed to deny Kyden and the help he’s offering. Even if it means getting her revenge will be a little bit harder. At least it will still be as sweet.

My Review:
Every time...I swear Stacey knows how to make me fall in love with male characters from the first minute they are introduced.  Kyden definitely stole my heart and it even helped on what he was wearing or lack of wearing.  He also had a way with the sword.  Oh boy...he definitely was my FAVE character in "Werewolves Be Damned".  *sigh*

Darn you, Stacey, now I have yet another male character you have written that I wish was real in person and has been added to my hottie list.

"Werewolves Be Damned" is a Urban Fantasy Romance that takes you into the Otherworld where if you see yourself confronted with a Guardian...you might as well be prepared for a butt whooping.
Nexi Jones has found out through a horrific event that she is part witch and part guardian.  Now she must train to become a guardian and hopefully get her witch powers later on.  Her adopted parents were killed by a werewolf and she is determined to revenge their death.  First though, she must prove she can become a guardian and the sexy Kyden will help her with her training.
Of course, Nexi and Kyden are having difficulties on keeping their training to just training and hiding their feelings for each other.
Both Kyden and Nexi must find out why there are more killings in the human world and why otherworld creatures are doing them.
When they do find out who is behind it all, it becomes not only a the Guardians job to find out how to stop the person, but to protect Nexi who maybe the target of it all.

Stacey Kennedy gives you, Nexi, who is one kick-butt female half-breed who can hold her own and she is matched with one of the elite guardians, Kyden who is hard to not look at, especially when he's fighting.
This book is full of action, heartache, and romance that will have you wanting the next installment right away.
I loved the premise of the storyline and had a hard time putting down the book because of it. These were not some otherworld creatures to mess with. Nexi was one female, who I was even scared of at times.  She put herself in so many predicaments and did not listen and I think I did not click with her like I wanted to due to her getting herself into those predicaments.  I loved me some Kyden though.  Oh....if anything would have happened to him, I would have screamed.
Stacey definitely knows how to make your heart stop due to certain events and also make you heat up as well.  The sexual tension between Kyden and Nexi made me feel it and in my head I was telling them to jump each others bones already.
I look forward to the next installment and let's hope I get some more Kyden.
I give this book 4.5 full moons and highly recommend it to urban fantasy and paranormal romance readers out there.

Cover Reveal: "Werewolves Be Damned" by Stacey Kennedy


Werewolves Be Damned
(A Magic & Mayhem Novel)

I’ve found you, fur ball.
Nexi peered from behind the large oak tree and spotted the small log cabin nestled in the thick forest. The porch light cast a warm glow into the night. Fog settled over the lush grass, and the night was dark, eerie.
Stepping away from her hiding place behind the tree, she strode forward and gripped the dagger tightly in her hand. Keeping the silver blade pointed outward, she climbed the cabin’s porch steps, taking each one slowly to avoid detection.
Once she arrived at the front door, she wrapped her hand around the door handle. Rich hunger for revenge burned in her veins and made her intent on one thing: to slaughter the werewolf who escaped the night of her parents’ murder. Not caring what awaited her, she stormed inside, dagger pointed, ready to kill.
The simple cabin had two large brown couches near a wood-burning stove, a kitchenette behind the living room, and a quilt-covered bed resting in the back. And that was it; there were no other rooms to investigate. No secret hiding places she could see.
No damned werewolf.
She cursed, shut the front door behind her, then trotted down the steps to return to her hiding spot. On her way across the yard, she glanced at the space to the right of the tree, which looked much like a heat wave, indicating that the portal to the Otherworld remained.
In some places around the world—or the Earthworld, as supernaturals had called it—there were permanent portals to the supernatural realm. This portal had only appeared because Nexi had travelled to this cabin from the Otherworld. Once she passed through the portal again, the gateway would vanish.
Magic had its perks. Quick travel was one of them.
Nexi shook her head at how normal all this magical stuff seemed now. Just over a month ago she’d never believed in anything that went bump in the night. Now she knew all those things existed, and in fact, she was one of them.
To her horror, she had learned that her birth mother, Tillie, had been murdered by a power-hungry vampire, Lazarus.  All those years ago, her birth father, Drake, had protectively decided to block Nexi’s supernatural abilities. He had planned for her to live and die as a mortal. Now with her return to the Otherworld and the removal of the block on her true identity, there was no going back.
She was no longer plain, human, Nexi Jones.
She was Nexi Jones, part guardian, part witch.
Looking away from the portal and to her hiding spot until the werewolf returned, she hurried her steps. She wasn’t ready to return to the Otherworld yet. Not until she had the werewolf’s head as her wall ornament would she dare go home.
Just as she neared the tree, a woodsy scent that had nothing to do with the forest mixed with the citrusy aroma of aftershave. A blink of an eye later, the dagger she held was now at her throat, a hard body closed in on her back.
“You smelled lovely when you arrived.” The low voice by her ear held a faint English accent. “But I never imagined you’d be so pretty.”
The blade pressed into her skin, not drawing blood, but implying that if the werewolf chose, she’d be destined for the grave. “I’m…”
“Going to explain yourself.” He lowered the dagger, took hold of her arm, and jerked her forward.
In a few short strides, the werewolf tossed her through the threshold of the cabin, and slammed the door behind them. He sauntered to the couch, sat down, and regarded her. “Now then, darlin’.” His olive skin was stunningly flawless, and his chocolate-colored hair was spiked tall. “Why would a pretty lass like yourself plan to attack me?”
“Don’t move.” That charm wouldn’t fool her. “Stay right where you are.”
“My mouth is the only thing moving.” His slanted amber eyes raked over her. “Would you like me to stop talking?”
“No.” She hesitated then added, “Only your mouth can move. Nothing else. Tell me what you know.”
He gave her a long look. “I’d be glad to tell you anything you’d like, love.”
His kind face and soft voice wouldn’t trick her. He was a werewolf. She was certain, which was another oddity.
After the block on her supernatural abilities had been lifted, she could identify a supernatural creature as if knowing the difference between a brunette and a redhead. “Tell me why you killed my family.”
“That’s an interesting accusation.” He cocked his head, studying her with a frown. “But I think the more important question is who are you?”
She lifted her chin. “The lass who’s going to cut off your furry wolf balls.”

Stacey Kennedy is an urban fantasy lover at heart, but she also enjoys losing herself in dark and sensual worlds. She lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, who gave her a happily-ever-after. Together, they have two small children who can always make her smile, and who will never be allowed to read Mommy’s books. If she’s not plugging away at a new story, you’ll find her camping, curling up with the latest flick, or obsessing over Sons of Anarchy and Game of Thrones.
