    1. This book was very different but in a good way The main characters were very easy to like and made even better by their interactions with all the other characters in the book If you like humor with a lot of steam, a little action and a woman whose moods affect the weather in sometimes a very terrifying way, then this is definitely the book for you.

All her life, Larksong Hammerstrike has lived in the shadows of her beautiful sister, Princess Aryanna To all those who know her, she s considered as some sort of an outcast Her parents acknowledge her existence whenever it s necessary, but to them it s as if she s a lump on a log Her silver eyes and the tendency to manipulate the weather whenever her emotions are in a turmoil keep everyone at arm s length.She s different and she knows it, as does everyone else She yearns to be a normal person i [...]

    8. Tempted by the Storm is a very, very steamy fantasy romance With Barbarians, Elves, Dwarves, magic, a festival called Carnalval, and a prophecy that needs to be fulfilled.The heroine Larksong, is the youngest Barbarian Princess who is a little bit odd She is not treated like a daughter by her parents because she is a spiritmaster a human with powers Lark is able to control the weather, depending on her moods, and is able to read and control people s mind She gets convinced by her older sister Ar [...]

    11. Tempted by the Storm is amazingly written From the details of the weather changing with Lark s emotions to Leeky Shortz s quips to the extremely hot lovin I loved it There are moments of hilarity and moments that completely shattered me This is a must read that you should definitely skip to the top of your TBR pile I don t want to say Leeky he s a gnome, by the way was my favorite character, but I did love him The first thing he says to Laycee upon meeting her is What the fungus infested toe jam [...]

    12. So contrary to how I was feeling through most of the book, it had a really cute story line, I must give it that.There was a lot in the book that I wasn t sure how I felt about it though Such as I can t stand reading books in the middle of a series and I thought this was the first book and didn t realize until about 20% in that it was the 2nd book, so that already made me weary of reading it, but thankfully it wasn t took bad.Secondly, it felt like maybe because I didn t read the first book but i [...]

    13. Not what I expectedaning not my cup of tea I thought that it was the typical fantasy romance that I like to read Little did I know that there s quite a lot of sexual content in it I mean, I don t mind it here and there but I think this one was way too much for me With that aside, the story line was good The book was well written with a good flow in it A little too predictable The character s development was ok I was hoping for a stronger heroine that could have used her abilities towards somethi [...]

    14. Ok, I can see that other people might enjoy it, but it just so wasn t for me Because I can see that the book really just wasn t for me but not actually that bad in and of itself some of my favs are of a quirky that some people just don t get , I m going to give it a 2 instead of a one I managed to make it only half way thru before the following got the best of me 1 if ever there was a man The start of every chapter It just drove me mad and made me cringe 2 It felt to me like a kids book, and by [...]

I received this book as a R2R from the Lovers of Paranormal GroupStars 3Overall I want to start out by saying the my panties were very um wet by the time i was done reading this book I couldn t believe all the sex the author put in this book, at times i felt like it was a little bit of overkill I was a little confused at times because i felt like you were just thrown into the characters lives with no back story as to who they were and what the hell was going on I did enjoy the romance between La [...]

I received this book in exchange for an honest review LoP Lovers of Paranormal If ever a man was sexual, duty bound and interesting than Sarco, I did not find him in this story I liked the relationship that Lark and Sarco created and the powers they were endowed with The story was interesting and who doesn t love a good Barbarian quest The challenges, adventure, and camaraderie made for a good read Again, the appearance of Leeky Shortz made the story fun and kept me wanting to read Leeky, Leek [...]

    19. This story have the making of a true Snow White story.Not, we have a witch that the bitch of a mother and a p y whip dad.The cast also includes four horny princess and some other bad creatures.Lark, her sister and the Sunwalker s brothers gave a new meaning to going back to school.Everything took a back seat to her twins, Adam and Sherman, I laugh so hard that tears fall from my eyes The Shermanator was too funny for words.Ladies, this is a sexy, hot, and funny story that will keep you laughing [...]

    20. This was just way too explicit for me Basically three quarters of the entire book were love scenes, and they just went on and on and onI found it really hard to enjoy it when everything was so detailed.Parts were good, and I enjoyed those, which is why it is two stars not one, but I just really struggled.Also, I m not sure if it was intentional, but at the start of almost every chapter, it was If ever_____ and it had it EVERY SINGLE TIME I m not quite sure if this was an intentional part of the [...]

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the Author and the Lovers of Paranormal Group on I loved this sequel of The Academy Series What an amazing book Lark and Sarco are such a great couple and I really felt for them.It was great to see, how they just can t live without each other, but accept their destiny and their duties.I still have this awww feeling, because of Sarco going out and trying to do everything that gives him a chance to spend the rest of his life with Lark.
