HONEYMOON BITE by Sharon Hamilton

My Golden Vampires of Tuscany are not like any vamps you’ve read before, since they don’t go to ground and can walk around in the full light of the sun. ~ Sharon Hamilton

BOOK 1 of the GOLDEN VAMPIRES OF TUSCANY Series

DESCRIPTION

Anne caught her husband cheating with the maid of honor before their wedding cake was cut.  She decided to take her planned, and paid for, honeymoon in Tuscany, alone. On the evening of what was to be her wedding night, she gets bitten by a female vampire.

Marcus Monteleone has waited three hundred years to find his fated female, only to discover her dying in his arms. He saves Anne’s life by turning her, and then works to gain her trust, to cope with being a newly formed golden vampire.

But when Anne finds out Marcus has not been completely truthful about his past, she vows to live as a human, and shuns the vampire world. Alone and unprotected, she falls prey to the very villainess who took her human soul, and who now takes the only man she’s ever loved.

Which lover will have to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the other before they both are lost?

DRAGON BOUND by Thea Harrison

This is yet another book a friend recommended to me because she knew I love dragons.  Thea Harrison's lead character in Book 1, Dragos Cuelebre, is one of those romance heroes you'll be thinking about long after you finish the book.  Trust me--lol. I now own this author's entire paranormal romance collection on my Kindle.  ~ DM

BOOK 1 of the ELDER RACES Series

DESCRIPTION

Half-human and half-wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their Dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful–and passionate—of the Elder Races.

As the most feared and respected of the wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed. And when he catches the thief, Dragos spares her life, claiming her as his own to further explore the desire they’ve ignited in one another.

The Elder Races series is set in an alternative universe where magical and mythological creatures live openly alongside humankind.  The stories are full of insouciant sexy alpha heroes and the

strong-minded heroines that tame them.   ~ From Thea

FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT by Darynda Jones

A friend said to me over a year ago, "You'll like this series. It's different. The heroine is a Grim Reaper." I scratched my head and read my Science Fiction Romances when I had time. I confess Book 1 lived on my ereader for a while, making me feel guilty when I saw it. 

When I finally did get around to reading it, I consumed the entire series in a couple of weeks. Now I'm as bad as any other fan. I nag Darynda for the next one every time I see her. They are funny, smart, and yes--they are different.

If I still collected print books, these would go on my shelf. 

BOOK 1 of the CHARLEY DAVIDSON Series
 
DESCRIPTION

This whole grim reaper thing should have come with a manual.
Or a diagram of some kind.
A flow chart would have been nice. ~ Charley Davidson

Charley Davidson is a part-time private investigator and full-time grim reaper. Meaning, she sees dead people. Really. And it's her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (like murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice.

Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely.

But what does he want with Charley? And why can't she seem to resist him? And what does she have to lose by giving in? With scorching-hot tension and high-octane humor, First Grave on the Right is your signpost to paranormal suspense of the highest order.

PRIME OBSESSION by Monette Michaels

 BOOK 1 of the PRIME CHRONICLES Series

DESCRIPTION

In the Perseus arm of the Milky Way lies the Cejuru solar system; its major planet, Cejuru Prime. The isolationist Prime, the oldest known hominid species in the galaxy, has fought off the Antarean forays into the outer arms of the Milky Way for millennia. The Antareans are a militaristic, pseudo-reptilian species from the Andromeda Galaxy.

While the Prime have managed to hold the Antarean invasion of the Milky Way at bay, it has been at a great cost to their planet. The Prime female population targeted by the Antareans has been decimated; the few women left have low fertility and mostly deliver male children. The result is a Prime population growth of less than zero.

The Prime Council facing the reality of extinction of their species within the next two generations votes, by a narrow majority, to join the Galactic Alliance. Their reasons for coming out of isolation are two-fold: one, to join forces with the powerful Galactic Alliance Military to battle the threat of the Antareans who even now are venturing further into the more heavily populated arms of the Milky Way and, two, to find compatible females with whom their males can mate.
