UNTOUCHABLE by Kresley Cole: Daniela is an Icere, also known as the Ice Maiden, who is in danger from her mother's people. She is being hunted by the only species she can physically touch, skin to skin, without excruciating pain and burn blisters. Because of this unique problem, Danii is extremely lonely and desperate to find the same comfort her sisters are finding by being held and loved by a man. Instead, she must rely on her own dreams, which come vividly to life when she sees a walking fantasy following her. Murdoch Wroth has his own issues as a Forbearer warrior, a vampire forbidden to take blood directly from humans. He has no intentions of being with any woman or going through the blooding with a bride he does not even get to choose. His brother is proof enough the process is a miserable one. When Murdoch comes to the aid of a beautiful ice maiden, he begins to question everything.

TEMPT ME ETERNALLY by Gena Showalter: Earth is changing with every passing day; water is almost non- existent and aliens are a common sight among humans. Alien Investigation and Removal (AIR) is a law enforcement group of humans with certain powers to deal with the new arrivals. Aleaha is a new agent for the elite group and has only been on the job for one month, yet she finds herself lock-and-loaded waiting for the deadly Schon Queen to arrive. Aleaha becomes extremely nervous knowing she is harboring secrets that could put her in the same category as the aliens they hunt. As the new arrivals come through the portal, everything goes wrong; Aleaha quickly realizes the Rakans have arrived, instead of the queen. Aleaha is captured by their leader, Breean, who not only sees her for who she really is, but shatters all her well-placed defenses.

Putting these two authors together is pure genius. They complement each other with the paranormal and futurist look into a world we can only dream about. The heroines are powerful and independent with heroes who make steam rise off of every page. A great read!
