This week’s question –

Q: Happy Mother’s Day! Who is your favorite mom from fiction?

  There are so many great moms in fiction, but I'm going to go with the first one that popped into my mind. The book that got me hooked on reading was Kathleen E. Woodiwiss's The Flame and the Flower. I love Heather Birmingham and how she dotes on Beau. Back then, most women would have used a wet nurse and a nanny, but not Heather. She took pride in caring for her son and being a good mother. In the sequel, The Elusive Flame, Heather is still involved in her son's life, a supportive and loving mother.

Topic of this weeks hop: What was the last book you re-read? Or name a book you would like to re-read.

The last book I re-read was The Vampire Queen's Servant, by Joey W. Hill. I love this entire series with a major passion, but there is something about this book, the first of the series, that I just adore. And it always leads into immediately re-reading the second book which continues Jacob and Lady Elyssa's story, The Mark of the Vampire Queen.

Lady Elyssa Yamato Amaterasu Wentworth is a centuries-old vampire who's been given a new servant-Jacob, a total alpha male unaccustomed to submitting to any woman's wishes. What really binds Jacob to her are not her sensual midnight hungers, but something far more provocative. It stirs her blood, renews her life, and awakens her soul like only true love can. The passion between Elyssa and Jacob yields something else unexpected-a shared history that reaches back through the centuries and is fated to challenge their destiny like nothing ever will again.

Full servant. With his new title, Jacob must attend to Lady Lyssa's every need, venturing into a world of passion darker than he's ever known. As a vampire hunter he wasn't prepared to embrace a world where humans are sexual commodities, but he has adapted. Now he finds the integrity of his soul challenged as he serves his Mistress's needs as fully as he services her desires.

He loves her, though other servants warn against giving her his soul. Everyone knows that Vampires have no regard for humans, so why would a Vampiress bother treating a mere sex toy with respect? But Jacob knows a human servant is far more than that. His Mistress needs a warrior, a friend and a lover. A man who will serve her in all ways, even if he has to betray the priceless treasure of her love.
