Jungle Inferno

Jungle Inferno by Desiree Holt has to be my favorite of all of the works that I have read by her thus far.  It combines suspense, erotica, hunky alpha males, an injured hero relying on the only person he can trust and a resourceful intelligent heroine...what more can you ask for?  The only drawback is that it is only in e-form right now.  I really want a print copy to put on my overburdened keepers shelf!  Amazon review

I won a copy of one of Ms Holt's backtitles last year and after much agonizing, I elected to ask for the third in her Phoenix Agency series, Delicious Danger.  Amazon review for Delicious Danger  That one impressed me so much that I decided to go back and start with the first one.  I am glad that I did!  My only drawback is that the price is a little steep for me since they are e-books and it seems a little steep for something I can't actually put on my shelf.  Sigh.  I guess I will have to work the other two into my book budget because, judging by the first two that I have read...they are well worth reading!


I purchased a copy of this title for my personal enjoyment.

Desiree Holt's "Delicious Danger" and Uh-oh moments

Wow!  I have been wandering around various sites and was thrilled to win a backlist title from Desiree Holt!  I have read some of her Sentinel titles and know that she writes very spicy and entertaining tales.  I am fond of her paranormal works but have never read any of her Phoenix Agency series so I agonized over which to request.  I finally asked for Delicious Danger even though I was really intrigued by the excerpts from all three, despite the fact that normally I like to start at the beginning of a series!  I have to admit that I was swayed by the description of one of the characters...who weighs about 130 pounds, is psychic and...is a Caucasian Ovcharka named Xena.  No, I am not being racist...she's a dog and evidently plays a big role in the story.  I made the mistake of starting the story and it is enthralling but I really don't have the time to finish it right now so I am going to have to exert some willpower and do the things I am supposed to be doing...which leads me to...

Oprah has her "a-ha" moments, my life is full of "uh-oh" moments (or as those who know me are used to hearing...my "oh s**t" moments).   It has slowly dawned on me that not only is Thanksgiving on Thursday...and we are traveling on Weds. but I am also going to be at the mom-in-law's house tomorrow night because we have to help her with her own travel plans on Tuesday and we are supposed to go to the Auto show on Tuesday!  Yikes!  That means that not only do I have a pre-arranged luncheon date and multiple errands to accomplish before we tackle the L.A. freeways tomorrow afternoon but all of those things that I was supposed to finish (including the Christmas cards for the 9 soldiers that I have to get into the mail before Thanksgiving) need to be expedited.  Hmm, that includes trying to read some of the 8 books that are due to be reviewed by Dec. 6 and finish the book that I am trying to help edit but still have 8 chapters to go (because, what happens in Vegas for me is not a heck of a lot of work---too much to see and do---) so...now you know why I shouldn't be reading Delicious Danger right now (-:

My wishes for a happy holiday for all of you that celebrate Thanksgiving and a great week to all of the rest of you.
