Bannockburn Binding
In the early 23rd Century, vampires learned how to travel back in time, and created a time-tsunami that threatened life as we know it, until they corrected their mistake. They created the Chronometric Conservation Agency, which is tasked with preserving history and therefore protecting humanity's future. The Touring arm of the Agency offers trips back into the real past, with vampire guides, called travellers. When Natalia (Tally) Marta, vampire and traveller, takes her client to visit the siege of Stirling Castle in 1314, she is caught and held hostage for ransom by Robert MacKenzie, a Bruce clansman. Rob finds himself drawn to the wilful, stubborn and very different English lady he has captured and the relationship becomes an intimate, highly-charged sexual pairing. Swiftly, Tally and Rob realize their bond is more than sexual, that the emotions stirring their hearts are true. Christian Lee Hamilton, vampire, one of the last true southern gentlemen, and Tally's ex-lover, knows the 1314 time marker enough to jump back and help Tally return home. His arrival at Bannockburn adds complications, for Christian finds himself drawn to Rob MacKenzie as much as Tally is. But neither of them can stay in the past forever. To do so means certain death. Erotic MMF romance, time travel, urban fantasy story line, on-going serial storylines. Futuristic settings: Australia, near-planetary space. Historical settings: Medieval Scotland, Imperial France. Vampires and other fantasy species.

Helena’s only desire is to kill the man who destroyed her father and her future. Stephen’s suspicions draw him into Helena’s web of deceit, and the two outsiders find themselves tangled in a greater conspiracy that threatens the throne of England itself, while their embattled hearts grapple with a far greater challenge.

Tracy Cooper-Posey draws the reader into a world of palpable danger and political intrigue. This story takes you across foreign destinations to your own backyard and off to exotic locales again. I loved how abruptly everything seemed to happen; right from the very start the intensity seeps off the pages. One moment the young protagonist is struggling to keep her Surf business afloat and the next she is holdin

Review: Jan 20, 2010
Genre(s): Paranormal Romance, Erotic Romance
This short novel by Ms. Cooper-Posey was enjoyable to read, but I think it could have been more. I felt the beginning of the story was a bit rushed, and while I understand that this was only a short novel, I would have enjoyed a bit more of an introduction to the characters and the basics of the story. I felt that the author simply threw me into the middle of an already existing storyline, and I d

It starts with a bet that goes horribly wrong. When Luke wins the bet and Lindsay is forced to pay the price, she learns more about him than she thought existed…and the process of discovery for both of them becomes a bittersweet journey through their personal histories as they learn why they are the people they have become.

Genre(s): Erotic Romance, Romantic Suspense, Western
There seemed to be a lack of actual story with this book. I was sadly disappointed because I was expecting this wonderful adventure through the outback with Sherry and Mason. Instead I got a book that seemed to be 80 percent sex and 10 percent story.
I love a good smutty story as much as the next person but there should be a plot and a really good story with the smuttiness folded into it.
