Lusting for Covers (39)


Lusting for Covers is a weekly meme, held on Sunday, that allows bloggers to share their current cover obsession with fellow book lovers.

Here's what you do:

1- Take the graphic (left) to use on your post. Remember to give credit to the original host (TBQ).

2- Choose your own book cover that you've fallen in "lust" with in the past week. It can be new, old, a reprint, or even a book that is not yet out-- it's all up to you! If you find a cover that catches your eye, then showcase it on your blog, and let others see the pretty covers out there.

3- Copy the direct link to your own L4C post into the comment section on my post (when in doubt, use this link and then scroll down to find the post), and allow others to come and see what you picked!
(OPTIONAL):

4- Besides posting the picture of the book cover you chose, it's nice to provide the book summary, title, author, or a website link for the book. It's not required, but it can help you readers' to add more books to their own list! A brief "Why I choose this cover" is also appreciated, but not required.


NOTE: PLEASE link back to my blog (http://tbqspersonalbookpalace.blogspot.com) somewhere in your post, letting viewers know that it is my meme, not something you are trying to call your own. Failing to do so, with the intent of actually calling this your own work, will result in trouble! I hate threatening, but really, is it so hard to post a link that says "This meme is hosted by TBQ."? Link love is great, and actually quite easy-- please use it!

Here's my candidate for the week:
My Immortal Assassin












Author: Carolyn Jewel
Publisher/Publication Date: Forever (January 3, 2011)
 Summary (Amazon):

TEMPTED BY REVENGE...
 
Grayson Spencer is hellbent on killing the dark mage who destroyed her life. But when her attempt fails, she is forced to turn to Durian, a feared demon and expert assassin. Newly armed with powerful magic she's barely able to control, she'll do whatever it takes to complete her mission--even surrender to a dangerous fiend whose eyes promise unimaginable pleasure.
BOUND BY DESIRE...

Sworn to protect all mages, Durian can't let Gray threaten the uneasy peace among demons, humans, and mages. So he proposes a deal: He'll train Gray to master her gift if she'll bind herself magically to him, submitting to his control. As Gray's powers intensify, so too does Durian's hunger for this fierce, irresistible woman. When the dark mage makes a final play for Gray, will the passion she and Durian share be the key to their survival or the seed of their destruction?



Why?
I haven't read any of Jewel's novels (yet) but I have all of them on my wish list, and this one has just been added as well! Great cover (aka, yummy cover model!) and sounds like a good novel as well!

Here's my candidate for the week:

Eternal Rider (Lords of Deliverance)











Author: Larissa Ione
Publisher/Publication Date: Grand Central Publishing (March 29, 2011)
 Summary (Amazon):
They are here.


They ride.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
His name is Ares, and the fate of mankind rests on his powerful shoulders. If he falls to the forces of evil, the world falls too. As one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, he is far stronger than any mortal, but even he cannot fight his destiny forever. Not when his own brother plots against him.
Yet there is one last hope. Gifted in a way other humans can't-or won't-understand, Cara Thornhart is the key to both this Horseman's safety and his doom. But involving Cara will prove treacherous, even beyond the maddening, dangerous desire that seizes them the moment they meet. For staving off eternal darkness could have a staggering cost: Cara's life.




Why?
What's not to love about it? Sexy, dramatic, intriguing... Oh, and it's Larissa Ione-- I mean, come on, if you've read her previous novels, I don't have to say anything more. Talk about Steamy! :D Can't wait to read this one...

Here's my candidate for the week:
Taken by Desire (Avon)











Author: Lavinia Kent
Publisher/Publication Date: Avon (November 30, 2010)
 Summary (Amazon):


Strong and independent, she dreams of him in secret. Why?
Fierce, yet world-weary, he's always desired her.

Neither considers marriage an option.


But when a single kiss has unforeseen consequences, and wedding bells follow, they'll both learn the power of passion. Desire can change everything.



Perhaps a simply cover, but nonetheless a beautifully done one. I love the colors and the realistic look to her dress-- it screams "Romance"! I look forward to this new author's work, and cannot wait to read it!
