Goodreads description: 
Bronwyn Fitzgibbons was young and reckless. It was easy for Ronan to steal her human life and make her a vampire. She ran, but she never forgot him--or how he made her feel.

Rider saved Bronwyn from the new life she loathed and the new self she detested. His love restored her sanity. 

Now Ronan is back to claim her. She struggles like hell against him, but she cannot deny the overwhelming power of her maker. Will Bronwyn surrender to the one who could possess her utterly? Or can she find the strength to choose the one who loves her as she is?

MARY'S REVIEW:

I received this book from the author for review.

I really enjoyed the prequel to this book.  This book was just as gripping, frightful and awesome!

Best part of book: I love Rider! There I said it and it's out in the open!  The way that he is towards Bronwyn is amazing, loving and caring! I think he is good and a perfect fit for her!  Then there is Ronan!  Oh Ronan is B-A-D but has such a strong connection to Bronwyn that is all he can think of.  He wants her...period! Now, Bronwyn cares and loves Ronan, but his recklessness with humans is something that she can't handle.  These are some serious vampires!  Now, of course there is more than just vamps in this story! There are wolves and Faes! OH YEAH!!  Jessica Gibson does a great job with the side stories.  She weaves them into the current story but still leaves us wanting more.  I am excited to see what the next book brings!

Not so great about the book: Well, it is not a bad thing, but the book kind of ended quickly.  BUT, I am very excited for Book 2!!!

MARY'S REVIEW

Jessica Gibson, you did it again!  Thank you for this book!

Best part of the book: You I just can't pick one character or one particular part of the book that I "loved" because IT WAS ALL GREAT!  I have to say that this one is my favorite (so far) of the series.  All the character are backed and the magic is flowing!  I loved that we see more of Caroline.  Not to mention that Jilly and Will are still together and their relationship is blossoming.  Now, that seems like a lot going on but let's add more to the mix: growing powers and Hanna! Oh, Hanna!  I just loved her! She has quickly become one of my favorites!!

Not so great about the book:  Even though some of the loos ends of Book 1 were now answered; there are now more questions!  On top of that, there is a cliffhanger and I am going to have to wait for Book 3!  *hangs head* Oh, I hope Jessica is writing right now!

Goodreads description:


Ronan has lived for hundreds of years. In all of his years there has only been one for him. What will he risk to get back what is his by right?

This is a short story and is the prequel to Love and Blood, book 1 in the Blood Ties series due out in January 2013

MARY'S REVIEW:

First, I want to thank Jessica Gibson for giving me this amazing prequel!

This short story is short and GREAT! All I read need to say is Vampires, blood, lust, fighting, hot vampire-guy and beautiful vampire-girl!

Ronan is over 500 years old and a vampire.  He is searching for someone.  Bronwyn is his true love.  As he searches for her, there is a trail of blood and violence along the way.

Jessica definitely leaves you wanting more! I cannot wait for January 2013 for Book 1.

Goodreads description: 

Magic flows through Jillian Proctor's veins as surely as blood, but so far her life outside Boston has been peaceful. William Morgan blows into Jilly's life like a hurricane, unleashing her magic and sending her out of control. Unknowingly, William brings an enemy who only wants to posses the power of the witch. Jilly must learn to harness her magic before she loses it - and everything in her life is destroyed.

Mary's Review:

I need to thank Jessica Gibson for the book for a review.

Best part of book: I just love witches and love stories. (haha!) This book had both.  Jessica Gibson wrote an outstanding book.  Jillian (aka Jilly) and her twin sister, Caroline were both born witches.  However, as time goes on Jilly becomes more trained in the art than Caroline.  Flash forward when the girls become adults they have drifted apart from each other.

Jilly opens up her own salon and still practices her witchcraft.  While, Caroline goes off an gets married.  Soon their paths cross again and "rebuild" their relationship.  All the while we are introduced to William! William is a complex fellow! He has quite the backstory and Jilly is connected to it.  I love how Jessica Gibson put all of it together in the end.  I think William and Jilly are great together. I even really liked Caroline!

Not so great about the book:  Just when I thought it was all going to end all perfect and happy *BAM* cliffhanger! *hangs head* Now I have to see what happens in Book 2!
