Review of In Your Eyes by Diana Nixon

My life has never been perfect. I lost, I lied, I cried. But there was one thing that I thought would stay with me forever — my love…

Adrian was my everything. The day he died, I died with him. It was like being caught up in a nightmare, with no reason to keep breathing, with nothing to hold on to. 

But one day, everything changed. I didn’t know I was lost until the moment Nic found me. He made me laugh, he made me feel, he made me believe that I could love again. I thought I would never feel alive, but then I looked into his eyes and I was lost. Only this time, it was not a nightmare swallowing me, but a beautiful dream coming true.

Just when I thought there was no hope for tomorrow, my heart found a reason to beat faster… 

---REVIEW---

5 out of 5

In Your Eyes is a romance about moving on, but more than that it is about living life to the fullest, forgiving yourself, and letting people into your heart. To allow yourself to love again. It’s the perfect book to get around the holiday.

You start the book off with Adrian, a man who has just been given the devastating news that he is going to die sooner than he would like. He’s engaged and ready to start his life, not lose it. What has he done to the world to deserve this? How can he continue, but he does. Diana shows us a character going through the stages of denial and facing his own mortally. It is painful, tragic, and oddly enough, moving. By the end he has found a way to move on.

And that’s just with in the first 30 pages! Yep, I cried. God, I hate/love when Diana pulls the emotion out of a reader like that. But you have to keep reading to find out how it will all play out.

The rest of the book is focused on two years later featuring Emily, the woman that expected to spend the rest of her life with Adrian, and her brother’s newest employee, Nic, who is walking a dangerous line wanting Emily. The chemistry between them is tempting. But with a little misunderstanding between them their relationship starts of a little rocky.

While overcoming events of the past and dealing with her best friend’s memory loss in the present, who has time to think about the future? Emily just wants to sooth the pain and fill the void in her chest; the one person she wants to turn to is Nic. Granted, she’s his boss’s sister, but hell if he cares. And I love him for that. You go get her!

Can they find their Happy Ending?

SPOILERS! Yes, they can!

The character banter is hilarious and the scenarios are fast pace. It’s an easy read that shouldn’t take you more than a few hours. I know, I couldn’t put it down. If you love a good romance (bikers, chicks in leather, and dirty mouths) you’re in the right place. Look no further. :)

And, if you loved this book then you will love Kassie’s story, Love Undone. I recommend reading them one right after the other. You can see all sides of the story. Great job, Diana!

Review of: Love Lines by Diana Nixon

Having been immersed in the world of vampires and werewolves for so long I wasn't exactly sure how I would take to a paranormal romance novel without them. I know that sounds silly, but after I began reading I realized this was right up my alley!

Diana Nixon has made for us Dever (with seven different groups Feta, Meridin, Venturo, Vero, Embry, Fairey, and Wizardy.), a place humans shouldn’t know exists, but there are those with extraordinary abilities who are allowed to know. She doesn't spare on the details and as you sink deeper and deeper into the world Diana created you feel as though you are a part of it. That is a great accomplishment for any writer, is to make the read feel a certain sense of realism and I think she captured it well.

It was a story filled with discovery, love at first sight, secrets, humor, and the most relatable scenes you could ask for. If I had been in their shoes, like I wanted to be in many times, I would have been thinking and feeling the same things. I could only describe some scenes with the word eerie as I found myself connecting so well with her characters. Being confused with them, understanding when they found our something knew, and unable to stop myself from wanting to know why her main two characters, Eileen and Christian, are bounded together?

I don’t want to give away the ending, but I have to say that I my stomach was twisted in knots so tightly bound and it made it impossible for me to not have to read the next book. Not that that’s a bad thing! Don’t get me wrong! It’s a wonderful read and I would suggest it to everyone no matter what kind of books you were into reading this is one you shouldn't pass up, but I want--no need to read more. I just can’t go without knowing what’s next to come out of Diana Nixon’s mind and we’re all in for a treat because her next book, Song of my Wind is soon to be released. But if you’re reading this review any time after the month of November 2012 you just might want to look it up and see if you can grab your copy already. I give it a five out of five.

I also want to take a moment to thank Diana Nixon for giving me a copy of her book and allowing me to read. It really has been a pleasure to dive into this imagery world and I can’t wait to do it again soon very soon. To learn more about Diana you can go to her website.

A Steady Pulse

A Steady Pulse is the first story of my Pulse Series.

Virgil just wants to continue living his somewhat normal life as a vampire, but when Elizabeth Parks drives up to Lake Pineywoods for a vacation away from her life, things become complicated.

Excerpt 

“What--” Virgil’s voice cut short by a dim female whisper.

Help…

He turned quickly to his right expecting to see someone. He looked around and even into Garrison’s room for a moment. He heard her. Clear as day. Her voice tired and scared, a plea.

“Virgil?” Garrison’s voice pulled him from his momentary insanity as he continued to glance around knowing that what he heard was impossible.

“I thought I heard someone for a moment.” He shook his head. It had been a hard pass few hours. Her voice was now haunting him. Even when he had left her house he could still see her memories. He could see pieces of her past and mixture of feelings all bottled up within.

“Virgil?” Helena entered the hall. “You okay?” Helena had been ease dropping on their conversation coming to check on Virgil out of concern. He laughed lightly at her worry and raised his hand to wave her worry away, but as his hand lifted up something unexpected occurred.

Virgil’s body slowed. Time almost stood still as he watched Helena slowly stepping towards him. Pulling his eyes away from her, he gazed upon Garrison rising slowly to his feet. Virgil’s senses stretched out. It was like Garrison was trying to talk but this wasn’t Garrison’s doing. His blood boiled as both his head and chest felt a great wave of pressure and pain. His felt body as though it was being crushed for a brief second.

Someone help! Please! She screamed as though she was just down the hall.

“Elizabeth!” Virgil gasped back to reality grabbing the doorframe for balance as Garrison reached out to him. Sweat beaded down his forehead. The room swayed for a moment.

“Are you okay?” Helena rushed to him, but Virgil turned with such speed tearing from Garrison’s light touch and down the hall past Helena to the front door.

He could feel it. Something was wrong. He didn’t know what had happened and how, but he wasn’t going to ignore something as loud as that.

“Hold on, I’m coming!”
