Flashback Friday: Jessie parties like it's 2008
This month back in 2008 there were some awesome paranormal releases that are worth checking out if you missed them the first time around!
Dark Arthurian paranormal romance
Tempt Me With Darkness by Shayla Black
This is the first book in Shayla's Doomsday Brethren series and involves the dark and the sexy … Marrock of Cadbury. He's been alone for close to 15 centuries, until he starts dreaming of a woman with violet eyes. He was cursed by Morganna LeFay, and this woman of his dreams shares the same eyes and birthmark of his curser. So he does what any tormented hero would do: He abducts her and demands she uncurse him. This book is fun. It's by Shayla Black, so it's hot and a bit dark and the perfect bedtime read if you're looking for centuries-old curses, tormented heroes and witchy heroines.

Paranormal with a hint of urban fantasy
Bound by Light by Anna Windsor
This is the third book in the Dark Crescent Sisterhood, and I love the heroine, Merilee Alexander. She's the warrior witch who has been known to "take out the trash," and she's an air Sibyl. Her partner is Jake Lowell (steamy!), and he holds dark secrets of his own. The Sibyls are awesome. I love these books, and this one is one of the best. There's so much plot and adventure, and we get to see the city's supernatural world, the dark underbelly and those who love dwelling in it. The idea of the sisterhood is also very well done. If you're a fan of romantic sparks, steamy scenes, demonic heroes and a butt-kicking heroine check out, Bound by Light.

Steamy dragon romance
Kiss of Fury by Deborah Cooke
This is the second book in Deborah's steamy Dragonfire series and centers on Alexandra and Donovan Shea. Alexandra is extremely smart; she's discovered an invention that will change the very world as we know it. Unfortunately, not everyone wants that, and her lab gets destroyed and her partner murdered. Donovan is the man/dragon who is not only Alex's protector, but her destined mate. Donovan wants to deny it, wants to focus on protecting her, not claiming her … but she's so smart and sexy, what's a dragon to do? These books are breezy, fun to read and perfect for dragon lovers. I'd recommend reading them in order only because the stories build on each other.
