I *found* Jesse Fox through Dark Diva Reviews and a review that I did for her book Blood Noir here. I was totally caught up in this book and could not put it down.  It's a mystery and thriller and romance all tied up into one compelling story.  So when I found that she was offering a free story to her readers I went directly to her site (link above).  And, while it's very different from Blood Noir, this novella still has the ability to draw the reader right into it.  For a paranormal story Eternal comes across as very contemporary and, even somewhat, real.  I think it's the connection between the heroes.  All I can say is that for any fans of Jesse Fox, this is a must-read.  And for those that have never read anything by this wonderful storyteller, then I suggest a good introduction is Eternal.   And then further your acquaintance with Blood Noir.  You won't be sorry!

Fire Season by Lex Valentine

I really enjoyed Lex's first two books in the Tales of the Darkworld series... but this one took flight and left me breathless.

This is the third book released in the series, but the events take place prior to Shifting Winds and Hot Water. But that really isn't an issue; each of the stories can stand alone very well. Yes there are connections, but on the whole, it's a connection of character rather than events. This is a riveting, fascinating, fall-in-love-with-the-heroes story that is sure to please the romantic as well as those who enjoy a HOT and steamy erotic romp.

There are so many excellent individual points in Lex's creation of the Darkworld that I really enjoy. It's a world where the paranormal ~ magic, dragon shifters, vampires ~ co-exists with humans, albeit subtly; the commercial world of death is a very interesting focus; the titles are always more than a way to differentiate her stories, they actually end up being a part of the story; and always, always they are most wonderful and heartwarming romances. What's not to love!?

If you haven't read Fire Season yet... don't wait a second longer!
