Author: Belladonna Bordeaux | Website
In Belladonna’s formative years she’d heard her mother tell her—an imagination is a terrible thing to waste. That’s what happens when your mother is also an author. In adulthood life took her in a different direction. She became a professional portrait photographer.
Her mother never gave up on her imaginative daughter and finally convinced her to try to write a story. Drawing inspiration from the candid moments that occur in her daytime job, she believes every human being has a story to tell. She writes multi-cultural contemporary romance with emphasis on real life cultural divides, historical, fanta-historical and might even move into the genre of science fiction. First she’ll have to photograph a real live alien.
When not working on her next story she’s out with friends or kills time with her family, but her camera is never far from her side and the next story never far from her thoughts.

Mayday
She’s coming to his rescue. He’s about to rock her world. Captain Avawain Morro understands one thing about earthlings—they are new to deep space travel and about as backward as they can be when it comes to intergalactic customs. When she’s ordered to rescue the crew of a space station, she’s surprised to discover the commander of the mission is as hot as hell and sends her mating hormones into the stratosphere. Commander Christian Anderson needs a woman. Years of being stuck in space have made him sex-crazed. What he wasn’t prepared for was his first meeting with an alien species. The Deltains are famous for their fix-ships. Their competitive culture was not something he counted on. She’s hot and he’s at “go” from word one. He’ll break down her defenses. He’ll make her so hot for him she’s mindless. He’ll do whatever it takes to get her to submit.
Conquered
He saved her life, but can she accept what he is? Born Agnes of Berwick, beautiful young Nessa has experienced all the horrors of war.

The massacre of her people and the razing of her land lies in her future, until she meets a Norman knight who stirs her passion and rescues her from the living nightmare closing in on Berwick. Infected with were-blood two score and ten years ago, Sir Guy FitzHugh never expected to find his life-mate living in a drafty tower or standing proudly against his order to escort her to court, as his immortal enemy encroached on her land. His hands itched to touch her. An edict from the king will wed them. Their passion blazes but as he teaches her to relinquish control to him in bed, something far more dangerous looms on the horizon.
Protege
A realist by nature and circumstance, Ingrid Ortega didn’t have an easy childhood. Trust was not something she put a lot of faith in, and holding down a job was just to pay her bills. That all changes when her boss’s boss tells her the League for the Preservation of Humanity has a mission for her. She’s told this is only a reconnaissance mission, but Ingrid understands the League’s ulterior motive: kill all paranormals first and hope to hell you get out with your ass intact. For the first time since the end of the Second Angelic War, the Counsel of Seven is meeting at Falstaff Manor, and Prince Adrian LeFay will represent his kind. Adrian’s duty is clear, preserve the shaky peace and keep the Royal Kinds from falling into petty dickering. The last thing he expects to meet is his mate. Her destiny is in his hands. Her life is, too. Contains: F/F, M/F/F, Anal Sex, Swapping, Spanking

The Highlander's Time by Belladonna Bordeaux was different from what I've read before. This is a good thing. The plot was what caught my attention, meaning the characters getting sucked into the "Viel" that transported them to medieval time Scotland. But it seemed so, so short. There could have been so many different ways the book could have gone with the same ending. Anyways it was so clever how Iaen got Je
