Reviews! lots of them

YAY I have some yummy reviews to post for you all :)

Irish Dreams:
Rosalynne from The Romance Studio gave Irish Dreams 5 hearts.

I absolutely loved this story! I have not read a tale this captivatingly charming in a very long time. It had a bit of all the elements that to this reader make a story perfect - a smart, sensibly sexy heroine; the dark, mysterious, gorgeous hero; a well balanced mix of love and lust; beautifully written passionate scenes...all mixed together with that little bit of magic that is Ireland. More than worth the time spent reading. I will definitely be recommending this tale to others.

Tarot Cards! at FAR from Stephanie B.
Synchronicity One - 5 Angels
All of the stories are entertaining and unique; no two tales are alike. ....If you enjoy quirky tales, Tarot readings, hot sex scenes, and emotional romances, you will enjoy the set of tales in this anthology!
Entire review: FAR

Synchronicity Two - 4 Angels
All of the stories are erotic in nature and all are about the things that occur around the main character getting the tarot card reading from Abigail. There is a volume 3, and I intend to read it too. This is a fun and entertaining set of anthologies!

New Review, and one I haven't posted before

This is just part of the fabulous review Amanda from Romance Junkies gave Weekend Menage:
Five Blue Ribbons:
WEEKEND MENAGE by Michelle Hasker is wickedly erotic. This story is sure to leave you breathless and hot and bothered! Michelle Hasker is a phenomenal writer who really knows how to pack a punch with her short stories. She's definitely one of my favorite authors and each of her stories leaves you feeling complete when you're finished reading.

and another review I found today on the same site:
Five Blue Ribbons:
THE BODYGUARD: NASH is one hell of a start to a new series from the amazingly talented Michelle Hasker. This story just exploded with passion from the very first page and keeps you on the edge of your seat in carnal delight until the very end. Nash is downright sexy! ....... She fights him tooth and nail for her independence which makes for some very interesting and humorous dialogue between the two. When these two come together, objects literally explode around them! THE BODYGUARD: NASH is a rare gem in the paranormal world of writing and I'm completely addicted. I cannot wait for the next story in this series!

Nash has been Reviewed! Thrice!

LOL I didn't know until I got the review listing from Loose, that Nash had received three reviews!

The first from Literary Nymphs:

The Bodyguard: Nash is the second and newest release in Ms. Hasker’s bodyguard series. The attraction between Vickie and Nash is instantaneous and almost violent in its intensity and the sparks literally fly whenever they get in the same room. The story is well written, is fast paced, filled with sizzling hot sexual encounters, and has great integration of the characters from the previous book. Ultimately these two are perfect lovers and partners. The question is whether their desire and lust can turn into love and trust that will last forever.

With the hints given in this book, I’m eagerly waiting for Sorin’s book to find out how this extended plotline plays out. The ending only leaves you wanting to know more.

And second from JERR:

Tallyn Porter from JERR gave Nash: 4 Stars and a heat level H

Nash is the second installment of The Bodyguard series which can be read independently. Nash is a charming, alpha and overprotective man who has found his true mate in an independent, strong-willed and powerful witch named Vicki. He loves her unconditionally, while she doesn't quite seem to trust him just yet until she comes to realize that they belong together. The intimacy they share is passionate and very hot which includes oral stimulation, voyeurism and a little bit of BDSM to spice up their romance. The sex scenes were very titillating and seductive, yet full of emotions due to Nash giving up his control to Vicki. I found that the secondary characters from the first story, Nic, Elena and Sorin, help to create the mystery and pending threat without overshadowing the main focus of Vicki and Nash's relationship. I enjoyed the meticulous details and scenery within this tale making magic very realistic in this story. The steps that Nash goes through to help Vicki with her powers make him such a caring character and makes me love him even more. I haven't read Nic and Elena's story but with their appearance in this book, I definitely want to get to know them even more. I look forward to the next installment of this interesting series.

You must belong to the JERR yahoo group to be able to access this review in the Jan 29th edition of their ezine.

And last but NOT least:

Night Owl Romance:
Night Owl romance reviewer Dee gave Nash 4.5 and named it a Top Pick

The Bodyguard: Nash is a fast paced 71 page erotically entertaining story with conflict �good guys and bad guys - and a heroine that stumbles through life until her mate shows her the way. The settings have just enough color as the characters actions are the focus. Their amorous sex scenes tantalize rewarding author Michelle Hasker a gold star for a climactic job - well done. The plot is easy to follow with personable characters; perceivable settings, erotic love scenes, and conflict all in a neat little package.

New Review ! No Monkey's Business

Title: The Agency: No Monkey's Business
Category – paranormal
Reviewer: Amanda Haffery
Author: Michelle Hasker
Blue Ribbon Rating 1-5 – 5

SNIPPET: A shape shifting monkey, a really hot undercover agent and a mission that could determine their lives—THE AGENCY: NO MONKEY'S BUSINESS is sure to leave readers breathless in anticipation.

Chase has no idea that Jessica can shift her shape into that of a monkey. He just knows he came on this mission for one thing…to get into Jess' pants. He's wanted her since he first saw her across the way years ago. Is Chase really an undercover agent on this mission or does he have a completely different agenda from what he's telling Jess?

THE AGENCY: NO MONKEY'S BUSINESS is a truly fun romp through mistrust and passion. Jess and Chase are smokin' hot! They're passion is almost palpable in the bedroom scenes. Although Jess is just using Chase to get information, I could sense more behind her actions. Even though there is a lot of amazing sex in this story, there's also a very engaging storyline. ........I would suggest to readers that if you're going to read this story, you be prepared to continue the story with Ms. Hasker's following books as this is a series and there is definitely more to come in the lives of Chase and Jess.

You'll have to wait for the review to post live at Romance Junkies to see all of what Amanda had to say about No Monkey's Business.

New Review!! Bunny Love :)

I got a wonderful review from Amelia at Sensual eCataromance!

http://sensual.ecataromance.com/index.php?p=354

Though a little bunny brought Blade and Tambra together, it is the intense desire they feel for each other which also has them seeking out the other from time to time. Filled with fiery love scenes, this couple definitely knows about passion and how to express it with eagerness. The moments concerning the tiny critter are touchingly written, and there are some amusing times when Blade and Tambra first meet in her tent. Whether the scene is sensual in nature or more emotional, the genuine feelings of the characters come to the surface, making the event all the more real. Michelle Hasker has composed a delightfully passionate story with BUNNY LOVE.

NEW REVIEW: Mountain Rendezvous!

Pam from My Book Cravings reviewed Mountain Rendezvous.

Here is the link, and a snippet of that wonderful review:

When these two determined individuals meet the sparks fly. First in annoyance, then anger and finally culminating in a desire so intense that he’d let her feed from his throat instead of letting her turn to someone else. The descriptions of Meredith’s uncertainty and guilt over the crimes her husband had committed and that she had been fooled by the mask he showed to herself and others in their world, excellently done. Slade’s determination to not only find the killer but to keep Meredith for himself no matter what the risk to his life a real turn on. This is a vampire story that begs to be read and I look forward to the next story by this author.

Thank you PAM and My Book Cravings!!

New Review for Screaming Orgasm



Screaming Orgasm has received the most fabulous review from Sensual eCataromance!

Reading about Brandon and Tara in Del Fantasma: Screaming Orgasm by Michelle Hasker was intriguing as well as thoroughly enthralling. I couldn’t stop reading from the first page, it had me hooked right through and the sexy way these two finally cemented their bond, well I was totally blown away. I loved Brandon and his need to show Tara that he loved her, no matter what she was. I loved Tara too; it takes courage to withhold a part of yourself that could kill someone and also to know right from wrong. Together these two were dynamite, the eroticism between them was stellar, and it made me enjoy the story all that much more. Ms Hasker is a new author for me and if this story is anything to go by I’ll be reading more of her works very soon. Del Fantasma: Screaming Orgasm is definitely a book that will have readers screaming in more ways than one.

New Review - The Bodyguard

I am so thrilled to tell you about this review. Lacey from Romance Junkies has written what is probably my best review ever, tied with the one that Ali gave me for the same book :)

My review!

The whole review is so fantastic it's hard to pick a snippet to share.

I also applaud Elena’s strength and how she never gave up. THE BODYGUARD is a heartfelt story that will dwell in your memory long after you read the last word. A job well done, Ms. Hasker. I highly recommend this book.

I am sooo pleased to see that what I'd intended to do with the story suceeded :) I love Elena and can't wait for you all to see a little bit more of her in The Bodyguard: Nash.

New Review! Mountain Rendezvous :)

Today must be my lucky day! Mountain Rendezvous got another great review!!

And I did up an excel spreadsheet for Sven and Nano. Yes I live to procastinate!!

Title: Mountain Rendezvous
Author: Michelle Hasker
Publisher: Loose Id
Publisher URL: www.loose-id.net
Reviewer: Sandi Potterton
Rating: 4 Stars
Heat level: H

Meredith Craine had no choice but to kill her husband. She didn't kill him because he was a vampire; after all, she's one too—but he was a serial killer and he killed her parents, as well as trying to kill her sister twice! She really had no choice! But the Slasher killings have started again and Slade Jackson of the FBI is positive that Jake is still alive and still killing. Sleeping with the sexy FBI agent is probably not the smartest thing Meredith has ever done but it may be the only way to find the new killer and discover if Jake is really still alive!

Mountain Rendezvous is a fun, sexy, action-packed adventure of a romance! Although this is a sequel to Ms. Hasker's Midnight Rendezvous it is certainly capable of standing alone. You gain enough general background information that the players and past plot are not a mystery. I didn't find myself lost, although it would have been nice to read the first story. Ms. Hacker has created a convincing alternate reality with some very likeable characters as well as some evil villains with a theme of good vs. evil. The sex and romance between Meredith and Slade is also very hot. Scenes contain oral, vanilla and vampire biting, and happen in some unusual places. The plot moves quickly and although this story is resolved there is also obvious opportunity for more books set in this reality. I enjoyed Mountain Rendezvous and found it a nice solid vampire tale.

New Review! Mountain Rendezvous

Maria from Romance Junkies has read Mountain Rendezvous and given it a fabulous review :)

MOUNTAIN RENDEZVOUS is a fun, edgy tale of a mysterious female vampire and a cop who seeks her out as part of a murder investigation and is drawn into her sensual, dangerous web. As a vampire, Meredith Foxxe doesn’t learn to trust easily. Add to this the fact that she found out her husband was a serial killer and had to kill him before he murdered her sister. Trust issues? Most definitely! So when FBI Special Agent Slade Jackson comes knocking on her door looking for her husband “The Slasher,” her instincts say run, but her body can’t help but stand up and take notice of Slade’s hot body and sexy demeanor. Her goal is to stay far away from this man and shut down the palpable sexual attraction she feels, but sometimes failure can feel so good…



This is a novella full of zest and sensuality, and a lot of excitement too. After reading the first love scene, which had my pulse racing, I knew there was going to be lot of hot and heavy love scenes between Meredith and Slade, and I was down with that. However, the author did not disappoint in her writing of the rest of story. There is plenty of tension and excitement in the pages of MOUNTAIN RENDEZVOUS to keep thrill—junkies entertained.



I noticed that the settings and scenes in this story were well written and detailed so as to feel familiar to any reader, and I liked this realistic touch. The author also keeps the reader so wrapped up in delicious ribbons of sexual excitement that when you are suddenly confronted with the antagonist of the story, you are almost startled by the turn of the plot, but in a good way. The plot’s twists and turns really test the skill of the author’s writing, and Ms. Hasker holds her own in this aspect. The characters develop well, the conflict is entertaining as it evolves and the thrilling love scenes are truly cold—shower inducing! I definitely recommend MOUNTAIN RENDEZVOUS to fans of the vampire genre and anyone looking for a spicy, sensual read.

New Review: The Bodyguard

Pam from My Book Cravings gave The Bodyguard 4 out of 5, and said:

This is my first book by Miss Hasker, and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sexual chemistry between Elena and Nicholas is intense, but at the same time filled with tenderness and compassion as he tries to help her work through her hurts of the past. The author has managed to pack a lot of emotion, characters and plot into this well written short literary gem. The manner that Miss Hasker dealt with the violence that Elena experienced at the hands of her captor, and how Nicholas’s used similar loving situations to make new memories, was a wonderful twist that I didn’t expect. The introduction of Nicholas’ identical twin leads me to hope for his story sometime in the future.

Mountain Rendevous reviewed!

Cherokee at Coffee Time Romance gave Mountain Rendezvous 4 cups, and said this:

Mountain Rendezvous is a spectacular read. I love the interaction with Meredith and Slade. The reader can almost understand what Meredith is going through, as she tries to push any feelings aside for Slade because of the way men have treated her. Once they connect, it is a powerhouse. Michelle Hasker has penned a great story that keeps the reader entertained while guessing about the turn of events with the Slasher. She makes her characters come alive and writes engaging stories that make this reader want more.

Bunny Love reviewed at FAR

Fallen Angels Review has reviewed Bunny Love.

Tamara Wood notices him, how could she not, a gorgeous man in nothing but a kilt with tattoos. When he runs into her and asks where he can find Tamara Wood, it’s a dream come true. Of course he needs her services, vet services that is, with a baby bunny that needs saving. She’s hoping he can feel the heat that is between them.

Blade needs help keeping the bunny alive. The sparks that ignite between him and Tamara are just icing on the cake. He’s hoping that he can take the place of her vibrator. Can he save the bunny and keep this thing between them going, or will it fizzle out when the retreat is over?

What can I say about a story that heats up the blood from the on-set? Ms. Hasker sure knows what readers want from their erotica; hunky men and the women who love to love them. Throw in a cute baby bunny and you have a story that not only scorches the pages but one that pulls at the heartstrings as well. A quick read for when you’re standing in line or riding the bus or train on the way to your own adventure.

Bunny Love's First Review!!

Tanya from Joyfully Reviewed read Bunny Love and called it a Super Spicy Read. Thanks so much for taking the tim eto read my story Tanya!!

Bunny Love was a super spicy read. I love how the character while camping must have the comforts of home. I still wonder why Blade is wearing a kilt and how the bunny made out. I also wish the author talked a little more about the retreat that Tambra was on. I think the author did a wonderful job in writing the thoughts and needs of the characters as well as setting the sensual scenes up. Bunny Love is hot and quick read.

Another Great Review for The Bodyguard

Tara Renee from Two Lips Reviews reviewed The Bodyguard.

One of the reasons I'm so excited about this review is because I had a touchy subject in my book. Rape. Now myself, I personally won't read a book with rape in it. So when I was writing The Bodyguard and I discovered Elena was a victim of rape, I was very nervous about how well it would go over with readers. There is NO rape in the story, but there are references, and I was afraid many readers would turn away from the book afraid of those references. After reading this review, I am glad to see what I intended to convey came through loud and clear.

Tara Renee said:
A year ago vampire Elena was taken by Lucian and tortured and raped repeatedly. Since then she has been protected day and night from the evil vampire. During the day she is protected by Nicolas, a man who she thinks is human and therefore safe, but who has secrets of his own. Nicolas has fought his attraction for Elena but when she dresses up to leave the house and go hunting he cannot hold back anymore. He knows Elena thinks he is unaware she is a vampire but he has always known and if she is going to feed, it will be from him. When Lucian breaks the outer defenses guarding Elena, Nicolas takes her to a safe house where he and his twin brother will work hard to replace her bad memories with pleasure.

You are going to need to change your panties after reading The Bodyguard by Michelle Hasker. This is a sensual tale filled with tenderness and passion. I enjoyed every second of reading The Bodyguard. Nicolas treats Elena with such compassion and he desires her so much, it is a joy to read. Elena is battling her memories of the brutality she suffered and Michelle Hasker handles the subject of her rapes with sensitivity and a refreshing frankness. I felt that Elena is a strong woman who just needs time to get past the rapes and Nicolas is the perfect man to help. There is an incredibly hot menage scene that just floored me. The Bodyguard is a story not to be missed.


She also gave the book 5 Lips :)

Thanks Tara and Two Lips Reviews!
