Flesh Wounds
Never overlook the boy across the street. He just may become the man of your dreams. After five years away, Julia Benson has finally come home. Facing the painful memories awaiting her in the small Texas town is nothing compared the mess she’ll make when she gets there. Dealing with the ripple effect leaving had caused the ones she loved was just as hard as dealing with being abandoned by a father who wasn’t everything she’d believed him to be. Dylan Banks was the boy from across the street who’d loved Julia since they were kids. She was the only girl for him and the only one he couldn’t have. Unable to repair that broken part of the girl he’d loved from afar, he now has a second chance. His plan? Love her until she gets it through her thick skull that not every man is like her father. But can love really repair all that has gone wrong in Julia’s life or are some wounds just too deep to heal?

I'm a huge sucker for the 'love right beneath your nose' type stories. Usually it's the shy quiet girl next door, but Robin Badillo sets that stereotype on its head with "Flesh Wounds."
Julia Benson left home five years ago after too many disappointments left her reeling. Dylan Banks was the boy across the street who was always very aware of Julia. When she comes back, Dylan plans to prove to her that n
The Return
Raven Prince, a vampire, and Thorne Abbott, her human lover, have endured secrets, lies and even murder. The only task remaining is for Thorne to become a vampire as well. Eternity never looked so good.
Haunted by the shame of deserting his first true love, Jason Craft, became a hunter of his own kind. Brought together on a mission of revenge, he found sanctuary in the arms of Jazmine Fabré and together they uncovered a startling truth.
Jason, now an enemy of the Vampire Lord for whom he’d been employed, sets out to save the coven he’s been commissioned to terminate, which leads straight to the woman he left behind thirty years before, Raven Prince.
Will fate lead them to where they were meant to be? Or will evil forces destroy them all?
Sometimes the only way to get something right is to go back to where it all went wrong.

I found THE RETURN to be an engrossing read. What I liked about it is the intertwining histories, pasts, present, flourishing relationships, enmity, and, well, jealousy (warranted and unwarranted) between the characters.
I also liked the twists and turns provided within the plot. Those twists and turns also helped, at least in my opinion, to highlight the different personalities involved.
The Beginning
For thirty years, Raven Prince has lived just fine with no mate and no hassles. The carefree vampire, happy to be the odd-girl-out in a small, close-knit coven, lusts for one thing and one thing only—human blood. The more handsome the snack, the happier she is.
Thorne Abbott, on the other hand, only has a taste for the blood of the vampire that savagely murdered his father eleven years before. The determined human won’t rest until that craving is satisfied, even if it means getting himself killed in the process.
A sexy game of pool in a small-town bar throws a wrench in both of their plans and ignites a flame so hot, neither could have extinguished even if they wanted to.
The hunter and the hunted battle with themselves and each other as passion, love and a quest for truth sends them on a deadly mission that’s sure to either destroy them…or set them free.
Can lovers from different worlds manage to see past their differences, or are there good reasons why the two species should never unite?
Will it be friend or foe that goes bump in the night?
