Goodreads: Smart, beautiful and ambitious, Scarlett Wilson never thought that trouble could be that irresistible. After she wakes up in a handsome stranger’s bed, with nothing but the vague memories of the night they spent together, her life changes tremendously.

Is falling in love with the devil worth giving up dreams and betraying principles?
Will setting the rules help retain dignity?
Or will losing a match become the only way to win the game?

I was so excited to get this book  from Diana i was just disappointed i didn't have as much time as i wanted to read it! but i finally got it finished and it was worth waiting for!


Scarlett is a beautiful , successful woman with a career and the future at her feet. Until one night when she meets a stranger at the bar. The next morning when she awakens in his bed with barley no memory of the night before she fears her perfectly forged  career could be over before its truly begun. her life takes a more drastic turn when her father introduces her to the new head of his company. With a few innuendos and a sultry look that's it the game is on. But with the number of moves she has available vanishing quickly and her dark admirer gaining ground who will win this deadly game of cat and mouse?


I have love all of the books that Diana has published and this one was just a good! I loved every page. the book keeps you grip from page 1. I loved how all the characters came together and interacted with each other. they where the usually tricks and turns that you would expect from Diana, one minute you are sure of what is going to happen and just as quickly you are turned the completely the other way.


I did not no which of the characters I liked more or who I wanted to win! I loved Scarlett she was such a strong female character and kept Dominick in his place but at the same time Dominick Keeps Scarlett on her toes and pushes her out of her comfort zone.
I loved the build up and tension between the two and how they bounce off each other.


Another brilliant story between to fire, stubborn and steamy people. Its a game of wills and its anyone's game. READ READ READ another amazing book by Diana Nixon!

The Moneypenny Diaries:Guardian Angel ( The Moneypenny Diaries #1)
Kate Westbrook
Pages: 320
Published: May 8th 2006 by John Murray Publishers (first published October 10th 2005)
Format: Paperback

Goodreads: From her childhood in Kenya until her death in 1990, Jane Moneypenny led an extraordinary life. Contrary to popular belief, she was not simply a bystander whilst her colleague and confidante, James Bond, saw all the action. These are her diaries, which were never meant to be written or read

I Love the James Bond movies so when my dad give me all of the Ian Flemming books plus the Moneypenny Diaries and advised i started with the Moneypenny Diaries. I couldn't wait to read them.

Miss Jane Moneypenny is the right had woman for M and the glue that holds the workings of her majesty secret service together. However for years we have believed that Miss Moneypenny spent her time sat behind a desk doing the admin running of M and the 00's sections work.  How wrong we were! The book follows the secret dairies of Moneypenny and follows her to Cuba on a mission to save James's life,  the struggles to keep relationships,  the enemies attempts to perused her to be a double agent with news of her father being dangled in front of her face. The story takes a dark turn when Jane realises that she is been followed and had to fight of an invasion of her own home. We see a whole different side of Moneypenny when we follow her on another mission to Cuba with James. Will she survive the mission and her life of secrets and spies and final get information of her fathers disappearance?

I didn't no what to expect when i first started reading the Moneypenny diaries, I loved the James Bond films and really want to read the books. When i got the Moneypenny diaries i was expecting them to be slightly boring as the impression you get is that Jane spent all off her time behind a desk. How wrong i was. I enjoyed seeing things from Jane's point of view. you got to see the inner workings of MI6 and the worries and scares they go through. I enjoyed seeing Bond and his missions from a different point of view. I think the book is beautifully written with real accounts of event woven in to the story. I found the writing style a bit difficult to get in to at first but once i was reading i got engrossed in the story and couldn't stop reading. It was an all round brilliant and i cant wait to read the next one.

I could not believe how brilliant Jane Moneypenny is! I loved learning how she got her job as M's right hand woman. I got engrossed at following her day today activities it was like i was right there . The book shows a different side to Jane, it shows a strong and confident woman how would do anything for her job and James. She is brave  and puts her self in dangers she not trained for just to save James!

A brilliant book! it shows a whole different side to Miss Moneypenny! 

A must read! I have already started the next book!

Love Undone Blog Tour




HI everyone its the 16th of June and that can only mean one thing its my stop on the Love Undone Blog tour! I have to say this book was a god send while i was in hospital! I am so excited to be on another of Diana's Blog Tours! So my treat for you all today..... A review if Diana's New book. and i can promise you wont be disappointed!



I was again over the moon to be on another of Diana's blog tour's and i was so excited when i received the book. I am always over the moon to get my hands on a new book by Diana as none of the books i have read previously have been a disappointment!  As always this book has be hooked from page 1 and i read it in one sit! It consists of all of the emotion ,drama ,heights and fights you expect from Diana and on top of all this a brilliant plot!

Goodreads: 

What would you do if all your memories were gone? One day Kassie wakes up and realizes that her life is nothing but an endless emptiness… One tragic incident takes away everything that she has ever cherished and loved: family, friends and all the best moments that she ever lived through. Now everything seems unknown, including a beautiful stranger, whose mere look makes her heart beat faster. Who is that reckless and mysterious man? Is he just an old friend or an enemy? Sinking into the vortex of indescribable emotions, they will give in to the most irresistible temptation ever, just to fall in love with each other, again and again

We all treasure our memories , special moments in our lives such as weddings, birthdays , First loves  we commit to memory so we can look back on them with the loved ones involved and relive  that special feeling. But what would you do if you woke up and all those memories where gone? That is the situation that Kassie finds herself in! She awakes from an accident with a strange but good looking stranger in her room and no memories of her life. With people around her she tries to put together her life but she keeps remembering small things about her stranger new friend. With her memories slowly coming back, her feelings grown for a mysterious stranger, her body warning her to stay away from him and secrets surrounding her brothers death coming to light will Kassie get her happy ending and figure out who she loves and what she wants or is she destined to live in a world of secrets ?

 I couldn't wait to start reading this book. It is different to anything else i have ready by Diana.  From the first page i was completely hooked I was immediately hooked on the story-line of someone having no memory and having to trust the people around her with no knowledge how who she is. I was attached to the characters from the very first page. After that the story only got better! there was the ups and downs of Kassie and Daniels Relationship, the arguments and the fights, then the love and passion of there love with stood in direct contrast to the feelings of loss and sorrow over the death of her brother. you are on a roller-coaster journey, you just have to strap yourself in an go along with the characters. I enjoyed every minute! The storyline is brilliant, the characters are fantastic an all round engrossing book!

I loved Kassie! Although she has lost her memory she is still a really strong and passionate character. I  love how she stands up for herself and doesn't let Daniel walk all over her, however you do see the more vulnerable side to her. At times i want to slap Daniel but i loved watching the tension between the two of them. All the way though the book i was worried there wasn't going to be a happy ending but i was please to finally get my happy ending!


I must stay Diana did not disappoint this book easily stood up to the high standard of her other books ! Amazing !! If you haven't already you must read it! reading this can not do the book justice!

Riding With the cop:
An Erotic Sex Story Of Sexual Submission (The Pleasure Of His Punishment​ #3)
Published:April 8th 2012 by Scott Eroti 
(first published April 1st 2012)
Format: Kindle
Pages:21

Goodreads: 
Lilly Thompson just wanted to get her ride along time with Sergeant Jake Simmons over and done. She needed to complete three shifts with the Sheriff's Department to complete her internship for school. Just when she thought she was finished, she makes a stupid mistake in the last moments of her time spent with Jake. If he doesn't give her a good report, she fails her internship. When he tells her he can't give her the report she wants because of her mistake she begs, pleads and is willing to do anything to correct the mistake. But there's only one way Jake will relent and give her a good report, and it involves handcuffs and naked bodies. Lilly wonders how far Jake will go with his punishment. Little does she know that Jake plans to take it all the way and then some! How long can Lilly resist his dark passion? Will she turn and run...or will she submit to the deepest pleasure she has ever known?

Lilly is so close to her dream career but when she is reading with Jake the cop on her placement there is a call in for a house robbery. Arriving on the seen Jake warns Lilly to stay in the car, but after several minutes he has not returned so her goes and looks for him, the front door to the house is open so she goes in, suddenly she is grabbed! Luckily it is Jake but he has hunger in his eyes. He has to right up a report of the incident that will mean Lilly could fail, but he is prepared to offer a deal. Will she submit and responded to his advances to save her career?


I've read a few books by this author and have got used to her writing style.  I had this book on my kindle so decided to give it a read. It is half way through a series of books but from what i cant tell they do not like in to each other directly. I have to say i thought the book could have been better. It was obviously meant to be a short story but i thought the content was poor. If a man had forced himself on me and made me feel like i had to have sex with him to save my career it would not have been the erotic fantasy portrait in the book am afraid i would have ran. Also if i then found out that it was his house and it was all just a plan to get me in bed i would have punch him and reported him not then waddled off to get in the hot tub with him. In that sense the book was unrealistic and someone creepy.

If you like that kind of thing then read it but this book wasn't for me.

Hate at First sight Blog Tour

Hey everyone welcome to the hate at first sight blog tour and do i have a valentines day treat for you! it comes in the form of an interview with Diana about the book!! hope you enjoy it!!






Hello Diana! Here are my questions for the Hate at first sight Tour

Hate at first sight is so different from the Love Lines series, what made you want to write a different type of story?
-          It wasn’t my idea, lol My editor once said that my ‘intimate’ scenes from Love Lines books were so well written:) I laughed at her words, and then I sat and thought “Why not trying?” So I started writing Hate at First Sight, hoping to make this love story different from so many other stories of the same genre. Have I succeeded? I don’t know:) But I want to believe that I have:)

Did you enjoy writing something different to the love lines series
-          Very much:) Finally I let those quite innocent kisses from Love Lines become more passionate and breathtaking:) Besides, I didn’t have to think about the new spells and curses; I simply enjoyed writing, and loved the result:)

Was there any inspiration that gave you the idea for Hate at First Sight?
-          A very provocative question, lol Let’s just say that I wrote a romance that I would love to read myself:)

What was your favourite part of Hate at first sight?
-          I give in, Nicola!:) Of course most of all I enjoyed working on “fighting” scenes, trying Aiden’s and Megan’s patience and making their attitude and ‘hate’ for each other burn down everything on the way to the love beyond description:)

Did you enjoy writing a steamer book more than the Love Lines series and did you encounter any challenges?
-          I can’t say that I enjoyed it more than LL. These are two completely different stories; each has something special and interesting to work on. The biggest challenge of Hate at First Sight was to show the resistance and ‘hate’ between the main characters, and turn it into something completely different. I wanted my readers to be intrigued by every page they turn, dying to see what will happen next between those two impossible creatures:)

What was your favourite thing about writing a contemporary book?
-          The fact that I could finally forget about the age or reading audience, lol AND create funny situations that will make you smile more than once:)

What was your favourite thing about the characters in the novel?
-          Their passionate natures and their desire to be the best in everything they do.  I like strong characters, you know?:)

Are we going to here anymore of Megan’s story?
-          Do you want to?:) I should think about that, because it’s not the first time I get this question.
Are they anymore steamy romances on the way?
-          Yes:) At the moment I’m working on a New Adult romance, named Love Undone. And  I promise, it will be steamy and unforgettable:)


Thank you for your time =)

Hate at First Sight by Diana Nixon: Blog Tour
Every day of Megan’s life was carefully planned. Freedom and independence had been her best friends for years. Until one day she met Aiden, whose priorities were so much like hers….
What happens when attraction wins?
What happens when poles apart become equal?
What happens when the flames of passion burn everything in their way?
Is there still a chance to resist the power of magnetism?
The walls of inaccessibility will come crashing down. Everything she thought was unacceptable he will turn into pure pleasure….
Dive into the world of Hate at First Sight to see if hate can become something completely different….

Deep Black (Nick Stone # 7)
Andy McNab
Published: September 1st 2011 by Corgi (first published November 1st 2004)
Format:Paperback
Pages:512

Goodreads: Nick Stone's future looks bleak. The only person he's ever loved is dead. The only people who might save him have turned their backs.
Until a chance encounter reunited him with a man whose life he saved ten years ago.What seems a simple quest in Baghdad takes Stone into the heart of a chilling conspiracy, from violent Bosnia, through lightening-paced action in Iraq. But too late, he realizes that he is being used as bait to lure into the open a man he believes can offer some salvation. A man whom the darker forces of the West will stop at nothing to destroy...

Nick Stone  is coming to terms with the death of Kelly and event that brought him face to face with another dead girl who haunts him. To make matters worse circumstances bring him face to face with a man he saved 10 years ago in the same place the young girl died.  All his old friend wants is to get one last photo and for Stone to go with him to protect him. The photo he wants? The man Stone saw in the same place Zina was killed! His interested is spiked and he wants answers! But when disaster starts to occur everywhere Stone goes he questions what he is going. Things only get worse when he finds out hes been set up by the one man he hates. Will Stone get out of this alive or now he has quit the firm is this is final good bye?

Its been a while since i read an Andy McNab book. As much as i love the books i found reading 6 back to back was starting to get boring as all the books have a similar layout.  So i put this book down in July and picked it back up this month and i have to stay am glad i did because i enjoyed them again am going straight in to reading the next one. As always McNab has wrote an action packed adventure where you will constantly be guessing  constantly on edge waiting for the next thing to happen. That is one thing i like about this book is you have the same feeling as the character knowing you have nothing, no matter where you go the enemy will find you and you have know idea when they are coming and you have no resources to help! The one thing i really liked about this book as Stone was on his own, he has traveled with Jerry on his own not with the firm. He has know weapons or gadgets and no funding or resources, i liked that he has to think on this feet and make the most of what he can get around him. I was gripped by this book from the beginning to end, With McNab's books you always know a twist is coming. In this book i was sat going its him it has to be hes the bad one, nope i was wrong! an adrenaline action filled adventure!

 I liked Stone in this book, you saw a more vulnerable side after Kelly died and actually see him having to come to terms with her death and also come to terms with some of his past that is haunting him. I thought Stone was more macho in this book as he was on his own and had to make his own decisions and make his own way it wasn't just a mission.

An amazing action packed thriller!

Mine completely ( The Billionaire's Obsession Valentines day Romance)
S.J.Scott
Published: January 15th 2013 by Scott Publishing
Format: Kindle
Pages: 68

Goodreads:
Author Note: This book is a short story add-on which is part of The Billionaire's Obsession Trilogy. If you chose to read this book without first reading The Billionaire's Obsession trilogy, you probably won't understand the references to previous events or the characters' personalities. It is recommended that you read Kara and Simon's story before reading this book.

This was a nice ending to the series and tied up all the ends and left it open for Maddie and Sam's story.

Kara and Simon have now been together for a year and are a month away from getting married when Kara starts to act strangely Simon is frantic to find out whats wrong! he is over joyed when he finds out Kara is pregnant! There relationship is stronger than ever but it is the other Hudson brother how is trying to win his girls heart, but will he succeed?

I like this book it was a nice ending to Kara and Simon's story. I enjoyed the fact that Kara accepted his money and their relationship in this book  and Simon his more easy going. I liked that you got to see Kara as a qualified nurse. I was so happy when i found out that Kara was pregnant! after what the couple have been through they deserved a happy ending. you could still see elements of their old ways of Kara not wanting Simon's money and Simon being an over baring fool but it was nice to see that the author wasn't trying to make there relationship seem perfect, it felt very down to earth am more real than the other books. I thought it was a good cross over that you saw Simon getting his happy ending but Sam just trying to get his.

A Lovely end

Mine forever (The billionaire's Obsession # 3)
J.S.Scott
Published:  November 25th 2012 by Scott Publishing
Format: Kindle
Pages:74

GoodreadsMine Forever is Book 3 of The Billionaire's Obsession trilogy and is not a stand alone book. Mine For Tonight, Book 1 and Mine For Now, Book 2 should be read before this title.
Genre: Adult Contemporary Erotic RomanceDown on her luck, nursing student and full-time waitress Kara Foster gets a massive blow to her already desperate financial situation that will surely find her living on the streets. Needing nothing less than a miracle to save her, Kara gets rescue from an unknown, unlikely and overwhelming source. Billionaire Simon Hudson makes her an offer that is impossible to refuse, but terrifying to accept from a man that she's never met. Will the handsome, alpha billionaire really be a solution to her problems, or will he end up being a major complication and a danger to her emotional sanity?Reclusive billionaire Simon Hudson would rather be behind a computer creating computer games than rubbing elbows with the elite and he knows exactly what he wants...until he meets Kara Foster. Something about Kara touches Simon in ways he's never experienced and definitely doesn't like. For over a year, Simon watches over Kara, but stubbornly refuses to admit his desire to possess her, not even to himself. But when she ends up in a situation that could very well be her destruction, Simon steps up to help her, not realizing that in saving Kara, he might very well be salvaging his own soul.

Kara wakes in hospital after a brutal attack with Simon by her side. She moved back to in his house and their relationship progresses again, Kara worries about whether she is becoming to attached to Simon when he doesn't form long term relationships or gets emotionally involved. but when Simon opens up about his past and goes all out on valentines day Kara cant help but feel like there relationship is going somewhere. Will Simon and Kara make it or are they destined to be alone.

I wanted to read this book after reading the other two. I didn't no what to expect as i didn't like the first book but liked the second one and i think this was the best book yet. The storyline picked up from where the last book ended. I thought the book had more content that the other books and flowed better. I still think that it would have been better if all 3 books had been put in one book, i sounds when you read it as if it was wrote as one book then split in to 3 i wasn't impressed with the books at first but i think had bit been all one book it would have flowed better and been a really good book as it is its split up in inappropriate place and makes the story  end and start in places where it should have ended.

The characters are the same as in the other books i think you see a softer side of Simon in this book as his walls crumble and you see a more confident side of Kara.

A great finish to the series

Mine for Now ( the Billionaire's Obsession #2)
J.S.Scott
Published:October 25th 2012 by Scott Publishing
Format: Kindle
Pages:90

Goodreads: Mine For Now is Book 2 of The Billionaire's Obsession trilogy and is not a stand alone book. Mine For Tonight, Book 1, should be read before this title.
Genre: Adult Contemporary Erotic RomanceDown on her luck, nursing student and full-time waitress Kara Foster gets a massive blow to her already desperate financial situation that will surely find her living on the streets. Needing nothing less than a miracle to save her, Kara gets rescue from an unknown, unlikely and overwhelming source. Billionaire Simon Hudson makes her an offer that is impossible to refuse, but terrifying to accept from a man that she's never met. Will the handsome, alpha billionaire really be a solution to her problems, or will he end up being a major complication and a danger to her emotional sanity?
Reclusive billionaire Simon Hudson would rather be behind a computer creating computer games than rubbing elbows with the elite and he knows exactly what he wants...until he meets Kara Foster. Something about Kara touches Simon in ways he's never experienced and definitely doesn't like. For over a year, Simon watches over Kara, but stubbornly refuses to admit his desire to possess her, not even to himself. But when she ends up in a situation that could very well be her destruction, Simon steps up to help her, not realizing that in saving Kara, he might very well be salvaging his own soul.


Kara is unsure about a night she spent with Simon. to her this was something special but when her takes her to her own room she believes she must be wrong. They fall in to a comfortable routine and there relationship starts to grow. Kara is the one for Simon and she starts to break down his walls including seeing his scares and sleeping together without blindfolds and restraints. Kara starts to fall for Simon and feels like there starting something so when she is invited to his big birthday party at his brother mansion she is nervous to not let him down and make a good impression. Unfortunately her night goes far from planned in an attempt to get some fresh air she sees Simon out side with a perfect blonde around his neck making an agreement for his next submissive, and when the blonde pulls his lips to her its to much for Kara she leaves the party goes back to the his house and packs her stuff.  when a distraught Simon gets home he finds Kara gone! With his brother trying to get her to speak to him will Simon get Kara back?

After reading the first book i wasn't sure what to make of this book. i have to say this book was better than the first one. unlike the first one this book had more content and more of a story line. I think if this book and the first had been put in to one book it would have been a lot better. it was a nice short story. I enjoyed the relationship between Kara and Simon. I am looking forward to reading the next book.
 i still think all books should just have been one book as this book also ended in a stupid place where it made no sense to leave the story.
I liked Kara in this book shes still strong willed and gives Simon a run for his sanity, Simon is good in this book as he is coming out his shell more and more. The wounded bird aspect still irritates me.

A good read

Mine for Tonight (The Billionaires Obsession #1)
J.S.Scott
Published: September 24th 2012 by Scott Publishing (first published April 4th 2012)
Format: Kindle
Pages: 55

Goodreads: Down on her luck, nursing student and full-time waitress Kara Foster gets a massive blow to her already desperate financial situation that will surely find her living on the streets. Needing nothing less than a miracle to save her, Kara gets rescue from an unknown, unlikely and overwhelming source. Billionaire Simon Hudson makes her an offer that is impossible to refuse, but terrifying to accept from a man that she's never met. Will the handsome, alpha billionaire really be a solution to her problems, or will he end up being a major complication and a danger to her emotional sanity?
Reclusive billionaire Simon Hudson would rather be behind a computer creating computer games than rubbing elbows with the elite and he knows exactly what he wants...until he meets Kara Foster. Something about Kara touches Simon in ways he's never experienced and definitely doesn't like. For over a year, Simon watches over Kara, but stubbornly refuses to admit his desire to possess her, not even to himself. But when she ends up in a situation that could very well be her destruction, Simon steps up to help her, not realizing that in saving Kara, he might very well be salvaging his own soul.

Nursing student Kara is down on her luck, shes been struggling since the death of her parents constantly fighting to survive. Juggling Work and school she is exhausted and her day gets a whole lot worse when she spills coffee down her clothes meaning she has to accept her friends barley there clothing. After work her day gets worse when she almost passes out in the street from a virus. luckily her bosses son Simon was there to save her and take her to his house. little did she know Simon has been watching her a long time just wishing to have her in his bed. Kara's life takes another turn for the worst when she finds out her flat mate has taken all of her stuff and shes been evicted from her flat. worried about where she is going to live and how to get on her feet Simon offers her everything, she can live with him he will buy her things and financially support her on one condition....... she stops working........ and he can have one night with her fully surrendered, will she submit to his charm or walk away?

I got this book on my kindle free from amazon so i thought i would give it a chance. It was a nice short story so i could read it in one sit. i thought the story line was ok and i enjoyed. I thought they could have been more to the story but for the 55 pages it wasn't bad,  
 i do question why like christian grey he has loads of money its a bit like a teenage girls childish fantasy to have a rich man on the plus i liked this book better than fifty shades Simon was far less irritating than christian. I think it might have been better to put at least the first two books together as not significant happens in the first book and there's no build she up, she loses everything stays in a strangers house then has sex with him the it just ends, the ending is so random i would have preferred it to have some meaning its like the story just ends in the middle of a book there's no cliff hanger or anything her puts her in her room she rolls over sad ans has a dream and it just ends. I just thought there was something missing.

I liked the characters, i found Simon to be over baring and irritating but like all stereotype erotic dominant men he has deep wounds , i would to see a dominant character without underlying heart break. i know it is supposed to create the illusion of being soft underneath and vulnerable but you can do that without him being emotionally scared. I liked Kara he was determined and independent. I really felt for her, you see the vulnerable side in the hopeless situation she is in.

a nice little read

But that is no where near as simple as it seems! with Seth back on the seen claiming he has changed , two gods toying with her emotions and a untrustworthy god leading them in to the underworld to unleash hell on earth the stakes have never been higher.Alex must become the god killer to destroy Ares. But can she do it? will Seth really pass his power over? will the pressure destroy her before she succeeds? even if she succeeds what will be left of the world after Ares?

This was a fantastic end to the series! Once again Jennifer has wrote a Magical story full of adventure, heart break, action and suspense. I was hanging on the end of my seat for the whole book. The were parts of the book where i was like no! parts where i could feel the anxiety setting in my stomach and times when i was like awwwwwww and believe me times when you will go WHAT! did that just happen. I thought the story was amazing it tied all the ends of the other books together and bought them together for and amazing end. I want to cry at the  end of the book it was so perfect. when i was getting close to the end i was sat going no! that can not happen! she can  not leave it like that! but thankfully the ending was perfect! in is heart warming. I loved how the book kept you guessing, you are sat going what are they going to do? the you get a slight but of information that sort of answers the question but you are still kept guessing how it is going to turn out. I loved the contrast between the loved between Alex and Aiden, the friends and the action in the battle. Once again Jennifer provided and amazing story that will captivate you from the first page and have you addicted.

Alex was amazing in this book, at the beginning when she was moping and not communicating with Aiden i was irritated but later when the old kick ass Alex was back i was over the moon and loved her witty humour.  Aiden is as swoon  worthy as ever if  not i loved him more in this book! he is cute but yet so manly and macho at the same time.  I hated Seth in the other books and i mean a hate beyond a way I've hated a character before but in this book her totally makes up for been a tool and by the end all was forgiven and i loved him!

An amazing book and a brilliant end to the series it a must read!

Hi Everyone i am so excited to be hosting the souls Of the Rain Blog tour! Do i have a treat for you. Here is a Review of Diana's
  First book in the Heavens Trilogy!




The Souls of the Rain (Heavens Trilogy #1)
Diana Nixon
Published: first published December 23rd 2013
Format:Kindle
Pages:245

Goodreads:

The secrets of the heavens had always been carefully guarded. Until one day when the angels realized that what they used to believe in was nothing but a cruel game between heaven and hell.

And Claire’s life is a part of that game too….

She is a guardian angel. She always thought that her existence was perfect. But perfection is a very relative term, and no one is protected from making mistakes.

Everything changes the moment Claire gets a new assignment. Guarding humans has never been easy, and this time won’t be an exception.
Alan Rosenford is a spoilt party-boy, whose life is a hurricane of risk and adrenaline rush. His soul is damaged, his heart is bleeding, and there are so many things he prefers to keep private….
The words they have never said before ….
The sins they have never committed….
How much does forgiveness of the heavens cost?
Or maybe even the heavens make mistakes?..


I am so happy to be on another of Diana's Blog tours. I love all of Diana's books so i couldn't wait to read this one. I had high expectations for this book because of how amazing Diana's bother books are and this book was far beyond my expectations.

Claire is a guardian angle and not just any guardian angle but one of the best! saving the lives of humans from demons for  hundreds of year and her new assignment a car racing , alcohol drinking , smoking party boy fueled by adrenaline risk taking. But Claire's life starts to get a little crazy when Alan can see her in her true form. When secrets about the heavens battle with hell start to emerge Clair is confused about who she can Trust, with a secretive, sly assistant around her, a fallen angel helping her, her powers changing and her feelings for Alan boarding the forbidden line  Claire's life is in turmoil!  with secrets about her past coming out will she be able to save herself from hell and stay in the heavens or has hell got its mark on her?

What can i say but wow wow wow! I was not expecting that. This was the first book i have Read about Angels and i loved it! As always Diana as spun a magic story of suspense, mystery and love. The story was amazing it was like nothing i have ever read! The plot was exceptional, normally i can guess the plot of a book but with this book you are constantly guessing you are given little bits of information like clues along the way but they don't make sense until the end , i was sat for the who book not knowing who to trust everyone seemed to have there secrets and motives, you are just hanging on  the edge of you seat the whole time not knowing what is going to happen. its like a story of forbidden fruit! you are hoping the characters will end up together and trying to find ways to bend the rules but no that the situation is hopeless and i think that entices you in even more. In true Diana fashion the ending is a massive cliff hanger i was sat just going ' no! you cant leave it like that' i can not wait for the next book so i can see what happens next! Diana is my favorite author and i love all of the books she has written but i can not decided if this has been my favorite book yet.

I loved all the characters in the book. Claire is an amazing female lead, she is strong, brave and witty. everything you would want from a main character . I like how throughout the book you can see her life changing and the emotions that go along with it, including the vulnerability.
Alan is an amazing character, i love how you see the harder side of him at first but see him come out of his shell the longer he spends with Claire, i enjoyed watching there relationship start to play out. Nolan was an amazing character he had me laughing the whole way through the book.

Amazing, mystifying, suspense and  Magic! A story of Love worth fighting heaven and hell for! A true masterpiece! I cant praise it enough!

Death is here and ready to destroy everything they've fought to save. 

When Liz comes to visit her best friend lexie and save her from her overbearing step family she has images of fun times and bitching sessions, but what she finds is far from what she expected.  lying on the basement  floor is an injured lexie her injured mother and two dead werewolves! not to mention her best friend is fated with a half vampire! to make liz more confused she is having feelings for a half vampire Braden.

I enjoyed the first book in the series so when i found the second one i had to read it. it was even better than the first one. from the first page i was gripped and could not stop reading! all the characters i loved from the first book when in this book plus more. I was happy that you got to see that Lexie has a happy ending with fate partner Torin.  I loved how the first book was werewolves and the second was mostly vampires. I enjoyed the plot and story-line i loved how Bradens past slowly unraveled as the book went on, all the time you had to guess on what little information you were given and try and drew a conclusion then you were given a little more information, all the way through you are hanging on the end of your seat not knowing who to trust or whats going to happen. I thought the book was amazing it was full of suspense, action,romance and surprise! everything you need in a good book!

I loved all the characters from the first book and i loved Liz and Braden. I thought Liz was a strong and brave lead female , not one those damsel in distress leads, she was funny and witty all the way through and i loved how she always wanted to be in on the action.  Braden was another amazing lead character, he was charming, shy, determined and passionate all in one!

This was am awesome book and i cant wait to read the next one!
