Destined to Mate up for Best Book Honor...

"­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Destined to Mate" is up for Best Book honor this weekend at Whipped Cream.

You can find the information here on Saturday as well as the full review:

Review:

Destined to Mate mixes a delicious combination of mythology, the paranormal and some hot loving sure to thrill a reader on many levels. Alexis is a heroine with a deadly secret. She’s also adorable, spunky, and an amazing mix of charming innocence and old world knowledge. She is also the owner of a book store. Imagine that.

What I really liked about her are her kick butt abilities which totally outshine the guys, much to their chagrin. All the guys except one, that is. Morgan is an alpha wolf. And he’s the best part of being an alpha – not overbearing and irritatingly autocratic but protective, responsible and fair. He also has being dominant in a relationship down pat – it’s a very seductive and potent level.

Even when Alexis throws him for a loop he still doesn’t get in a snit over it. He is so very well put together; I didn’t have to deal with any male ego trips. What a relief. One of the things that I personally look for in a lycan/paranormal romance is if there is bite. I find biting in passion between the hero and heroine very erotic and Ms. Salo nailed it. But I am not going to tell you who was biting who, because that would be telling. There’s no way I want to diffuse those moments, which for me, were very sensual and satisfying.

The secondary characters were fun. Val was interesting and a good sounding board for Alexis. There’s a term for their relationship but no way am I writing that here. Rafe simply cracked me up. What a unique spin for a second-in-command. Usually they are about as strong as the alpha, but poor Rafe has a very human and irritating thing that happens to him. I could not help but giggle the times it happened.

Alexis’ mom is a beaut. Wait until you meet her.

Destined to Mate is sure to entertain and excite, evoke interest and lust, and delivers a well written story with a character driven plot which delightfully showcases the pursuit of love in all its furry splendor.

Vacation Spots

Summer will be over before we know it, and around here at the Darlin house we are scrambling to fit in a few more vacations. We're having the hardest time this year deciding where to go. We love the beach. We love the mountains. And there are so many natural wonders we haven't seen yet. The list of possibilities is long. It looks like we're leaning toward a mountain vacation. Maybe the Poconos so we can visit family in Philadelphia at the same time, or maybe we'll head out to Wyoming again since we liked it so much in the winter.

Who knows, but we're determined to make a final decision and book our reservations tonight. So as usual, I like to see what everyone else likes.

Where do you like to vacation and what is it that draws you there?

New Review for Librarian By Day!


I'm so excited! Two Lips Reviews gave 5 Kisses to my sexy contemporary erotic romance Librarian By Day!


"Paige Tyler is one of the hottest spanking romance writers around, and Librarian by Day is a prime example of why. The heat between Nik and Jennifer is so hot you might need oven mitts to read this romance. Jennifer is shy, so very shy, she has never told a lover her most secret parts of herself. When she does, how will Nik react? Nik is such a sweet alpha male. Every girl should have a Nik in her life. Jennifer is so lucky to have him! Trust me, he knows how to handle his girl. One of the great things about a Paige Tyler romance is the emotional connection that is between the characters. I love how the characters grow and learn from each other, becoming more than they were before. The real treat in this romance is the connection Ms. Tyler creates with her characters. It always is a joy to watch unfold. When you want a spanking romance to remember you want Librarian by Day on your keeper shelf!"

Arianna with Night Owl Romance has given my baby 5 hearts / Reviewers Top Pick!! Can you see me doing the happy dance!!

The author has woven a fast paced erotica romance. All of the characters are intelligent, and well rounded individuals. Like other reviewers of her book, I hope she continues the story.

Harper's Island

A few month's ago I kept seeing a commercial for some new show that would be airing this summer...It sounded interesting and I decided to check it out...It was to air for only a few weeks...A murder mystery where every week someone would die...

You as the viewer try to figure out who the killer is...(warning contains spoilers..do not read if you have not seen it and plan to watch it)

The story is that a few years ago there was a string of murders on the island and now the killer is striking again...Everyone is sure the killer was murdered by the sheriff....Now years later the daughter of one of the victims- the sheriffs daughter Abby- returns to the island for her best friends- Henry's- wedding...

Soon they find out the island is not as safe as they believed...Now one by one they are getting killed off... They must find a way to stay alive long enough to find a way off the island...

Thursday the show came to an end...You found out all the things you waited to know..I must say it was the best ending ever...Wakefield turning out to have a child...one that he had with Abby's mom....Nobody would have ever guessed the kid to be...Henry..yes the groom.....Henry helped his father kill all the people on the island, the same people who came for his wedding...All for Abby....Yes he is her brother but his reason was love..He even killed his own father..his real father Wakefield, the man who trained him to kill...He picked his childhood friend Abby over everyone else...

He even made it look like everybody died so that he could spend the rest of his life with her on the other end of the island...He was so deranged...

I was not surprised to find out that Henry was the other killer? Why you might ask, well there was an episode on the dock when Henry's brother is killed and the look in his eyes, it was not normal, it gave away the dark side of him...When I had scene that I kept thinking that he is the one doing it..Something gave him away....

I think they did a fantastic job with this show because it is different and it pulled you in to keep watching and to keep guessing who the killer might be...they ended it off with a 2 hour bang...letting everything fall into place and unravel.....It reminded me of the board game... clue....but on a bigger scale....the who done it part....

If you watched the show, what did you think? Were you shocked about the ending?

Sweet Tweets

Lately, I've been using Twitter more for entertainment and industry tips than promotion and blasting the events of my day to my followers. I'm curious how all of you use Twitter.

There are some people I follow just because they crack me up, and there are others who pass along stuff that is very good to know. Some of the ones I follow are real life friends, and others are fellow authors. But honestly the ones I seek out the most when I'm scrolling through my list of tweets are the ones who put a smile on my face (Jimmy Fallon, Blake Shelton, Ben Stiller, etc).

What about you? Who do you follow and why? Feel free to leave your twitter ID in the comments so we can follow you, too.
