Thank You Thursday - A Review !

Today for Thank You Thursday, I thought I'd post a peer review. I love to read and when I happen across books by people I know, it's even better. It's been said, reviews can be dangerous or they can be delicious. I hope I share some yummy goodness on Thursdays with books I own and love. So yeah, I had to share the reading joy!


Lust Me, Trust Me by Jessica Jarman
Total-E-Bound Publishing
Contemporary, Paranormal, Action/Adventure, Suspense
51 pgs

Book one in the Into the Shadows Series

Thrust into a dark world of vampires, Sarah has to make a life or death decision—can she trust a man who is the very thing that almost killed her?

As an operative for the Triumvirate, Fen has always focused on his mission. His current task is to find Tynan, a vampire suspected of going rogue, and his pregnant girlfriend and bring them before the Triumvirate. When he finds the vampire brutally murdered, his focus turns to the girl. Did she run or was she captured by whoever killed Tynan?

Sarah Feeney just wants to disappear. After barely surviving the horrific attack with Tynan, she is trying to fade into the background and simply stay alive. When she comes face to face with Fen, he claims to be on her side. She can't deny the attraction between them. But after all she's been through, can she go from lust to trust with the vampire? Her decision could very well kill her.


When the chips are down, this is one man you want in your corner. Fenlon is a vampire I want on my back in any tough situation.

Ms. Jarman had me hooked from page one with tight writing and great world building. Within a matter of sentences, I felt like I was a part of Fen and Jae's world. The suspense hit all the right notes and the sex? Can you say scorching?

As a hero, you don't get much better than Fen. He's determined, lethal, and just plain sexy. When he's got his target, hell hath no fury. I loved that he fought against his baser instinct for her. Even alpha's have soft sides. Jae is a great balance for Fen and I have to admit, I want to see this poor guy get his own story.

Sarah makes a wonderful heroine. Sure, she's gotten herself into a tough situation, but we can relate to her. Ok, not the vampire part, but the devotion to family and the fear factor. I felt her fear as if I were in her shoes and that's a hard feat for authors to accomplish. Kudos to Ms. Jarman. I liked that Sarah isn't one to back down. She gives Fen a run for his money and it's wonderful to read.

If you want a book with steamy sex in the shower, a couple of bites for good measure, and an alpha that's--enter silly pun--to die for, then you need to read Lust Me, Trust Me. It's a great read.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Wendi. I'm so glad you liked LM, TM - it's certainly a favorite of mine. And yes, Jae has his own story. And so does Seth (that comes out this month)...and I got one more in the works. le sigh I love my vamps.

Thanks again, sweetie.
