New Juicy Review: Lord of Pleasure by Delilah Marv...

Book:             Lord of Pleasure

Author:          Delilah Marvelle

ISBN:             1420104497

Rating:          Four Stars

Marvelle's tale of Alexander Baxendale, third Earl of Hawksford and Charlotte, Lady Chartwell is indeed sweet, delightful and endearing to readers. What originally sold the purchase of The Lord of Pleasure were reviewers' consistent comments that Marvelle's novels were hilarious and fun. Nothing is better when you have laughs along with romance. And nothing is harder to write. So special respect should be set-aside for those authors who are able to successfully concoct hilarity for us. 

It had been a while since I'd picked up a historical romance. Favorites include Christina Dodd, Gaelen Foley, Judith McNaught and Julia Quinn. Lord of Pleasure largely reminds of early Julia Quinn with some Jude Deveraux naiveté thrown in. Marvelle's second novel is green, but with great promise and careful attention. The characters each have their own voice; personality, and connects with readers. 

Just like Quinn capitalizing on the Bridgertons, Lady Whistledown, and the Featherington's (dear, sweet, befuddled Penelope always enveloped in yellow!), so too has Marvelle carved out some unique characterizations: Madame de Maitenon, Harold, the bull-faced butler-stevedore, Alexander's saucy mother ...

At the end of Pale Demon, Trent sagely outlines to Rachel the danger of rendering herself helpless in the midst of so many enemies. Brought back from the brink of death after kicking Ku’Sox’s butt, and nearly losing her aura by unwittingly carving out a new ley line that has devastating effects in the everafter, Rachel has some tough choices to make. Will she try to live her life without her demon enhanced abilities? Can she? Can she even go back to being an earth witch?

 Harrison smartly leads with this thought in A Perfect Blood where Rachel will reap the consequences of her all decisions…good and bad, to finally realize that with great power, comes great responsibility. With one charmed Elven bracelet, Rachel chooses to effectively cut herself off from the scrutiny of the demon collective, ley lines…even Al thinks she’s dead. After the fracas in San Francisco, even the Inderlander government has her declared dead. But has she chosen wisely?

Check out Elle's Page and find out more about The Dark Ink Chronicles.

Elle Jasper’s debut series, The Dark Ink Chronicles begins withAfterlight, a dreamy, scrumptious read that I could not put down about tattoo artist Riley Poe whose rare blood type becomes the instrument in a complicated triumvirate that plunges her into the middle of two warring vampire factions on the steamy streets of Savannah.

On one side is the heritage of the Gullah, who have protected her most of her life, and masked her blood from any would-be enemies. Aligned with them is the mysterious House of Dupre, whose family has maintained an almost eternal state of vigilance over the city. Together they must defeat the resurrected threat of Victorian and Valerian Arcos who once left a bloody trail throughout the region.

Afterlight feels like a fully plotted novel, with a sensory explosion at every page turn. Scenes come alive, are rich and meaty, and worth savoring every bit. One can almost inhale ...

How to Critique Music Even Though You Aren’t...

Just because you aren't a musician doesn't mean you can't express an honest critique of music. If you're a fan of a certain type of music, there's a good chance you're very knowledgeable about that genre; and even if you aren't a fan of that type of music, you can certainly say what you like or dislike about it.

All critiques represent the opinion of one individual, no more, no less. But to be a fair, honest, and knowledgeable critic will set you apart - and you don't even need to play an instrument to qualify.

Steps

1. Decide what sort of music you'll offer critiques on. You don't have to pigeonhole yourself, but you do need to make a set of parameters for yourself: Will you critique classical music? Rock and roll? Jazz? Folk? Metal? There are some bloggers who have "listening blogs" - they listen to a variety of music, post links to it, and then comment on it. They don't have a set type of music they listen to. There are others who are known for being classical music critics, rock critics, and so on. All you have to do is say what you ...
