Forged Bloodlines #10
Kiss Me When the Sun Goes Down
“I could rely on Bishop, I felt it in every fiber of my being. Only... I’d been wrong before.”
Anja’s no longer the geeky newbie who couldn’t bite her way out of a paper bag. Since becoming Elder of the West, Anja stood up for what she believes in and found her place in vampire society. But can she remember what it’s like to be a normal girl and go on a date? More than anything, Anja wants to start over with Bishop and recapture what they lost, but can she trust him not to make the same mistakes that broke her heart? And hearts and flowers aside, what happens when an enemy resurfaces to take revenge against all that Anja holds dear? Will the past rob Anja of her future?

I was given this ARC for an honest review.
This is book number ten in the Forged Bloodline Series, and by far my favorite in the series.
So lets start by saying that i am a huge Paranormal Romance Fan, and I am an avid reader (like my hubby threatens to hide my nook, because i am always reading i think he is jealous of all my book boyfriends HEE HEE). And I can honestly say this series by far is in my top 3 of all time. I am not one to re-read a book. But i have re-read all nine books at least 3 times. I just can't get enough of Anya and all her supporting characters.
When this series was started we were dealing with a Anya waking up in the morgue as a newly turned vampire and a broody Bishop who is part of "The Order" who enforce vampire law. And the story developed from there. From Anya being timid, to Anya commanding the attending of everyone even all the elders. All the supporting characters are so well written. From Outrageous Bridget, Romantic Rob, and Crazy Jakob, Lisa has done an incredible job of making them so believable. When you are reading you feel like you are there part of the story, like a fly on the wall just watching and hearing the story unfold. And I can't express enough how great this series is. There are two love interests for Anya, Bishop and Rob. I will admit that i was on both teams. I started on Team Bishop then switched to Team Rob. But there was just something so swoon worthy about Bishop that I just couldn't help but root for Bishop. So I am all about TEAM BISHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, regarding this particular book in the series
Anya and Bishop have decided to try dating. The first date is ...................... well i guess you will have to read to find out. But when the books starts off w/Bishop figuring out a tactical way to go about his date, Mason reminds him that dating is not WAR. But Bishop is soooo sweet, he wants to make up to Anya for all her past hurts he is caused. And he wants the date to be perfect. Anya knows that she loves Bishop, but the past hurts makes her take things slow. she has to be careful with her heart. Love was never the problem.
An old enemy returns, and threatens Anya and those she loves. And let me tell you i did a double take when i found out who that enemy was. I was truly not expecting that, thank you Lisa Olsen.
All the great characters are brought back, with just a couple missing. You will laugh, you will cry, you will want to through you reader at times. But this book had it all. I can't say enough about this series, besides i HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks again Lisa Olsen, for bringing such a great story to us.

I'm going to start this review by letting you know that I am a diehard #TeamRob and I always will be. That being said, I couldn't help but fall in love with Bishop in Kiss Me... Just a little...
The gangs all back, minus Rob...
but there's not much I can do about that so I'll suck it up and get on with my review. *ahem*
Anja and Bishop have decided to try their hand at love again and are dating. With Bishop being out of practice with the whole courtship part of a relationship, their first date is quite...something. Despite the hiccup in their first date all is going well- not just for their relationship but for everyone in general. Things have settled down and life is good, boring for some, but good. When does anything good ever happen without some sort of repercussions?
Like the blurb has already told you, an enemy resurfaces to take revenge against all that Anja holds dear...and boy does he. One minute this book will have you like...
and the next you'll be like...
It's one hell of a ride, that's for sure. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll be cursing Lisa along the way. So, in short, this is another awesome book by Lisa and you must read it! If you've not started this series, YOU. NEED. TO!

Lisa Olsen does it again!
This book is full of twists and turns that catch you by surprise, keeps you guessing all the way through. There are moments where I wanted to throw my Kindle, and moments I cried like a baby, moments that touched my heart and left me wanting more.
Anja's life is never dull, but as her rekindled relationship gets on its way the rest of her life starts to unravel, who is behind all of the chaos and who is targeting her and those she loves?
I cannot wait for the next in the series to see where it takes us

Lisa Olsen does it again! I enjoyed the latest and greatest installment of the Forged Bloodlines series. It was great to re-connect with the characters and be in that world again. I won't put any spoilers, but there were a couple of twists in this one! My jaw dropped a few times. I can't wait for the next one! Team Bishop! For those of you out there looking for a good series that reads quickly, this is a great fit.
July 4, 2015
As usual, Lisa Olsen did a bang up job! I absolutely love Anja's story and the author constantly throws you for a loop with the changes Anja goes through. Unlike many long book series that get tired or predictable after the first 3 books, The Forged Bloodline series keeps you on your toes. Unlike many romance novels where the plot is utterly predictable and the "hunk" is obvious, Anja's indecision is lifelike. Five stars as always!

I was given this ARC for an honest review. This is book ten in the Forged Bloodline Series. Since this is book ten you had better be prepared for spoilers for any of the previous books that might be in this review. The book starts off with Bishop getting ready for a date with Anja. Since the break-up of Rob and Anja, Bishop is ready to try his hand again and Anja wants that too. Even though they both have declared their love for each other they are taking things slow and trying to start out like any other couple with a first date, a first real date that is. So Bishop picks Anja up and from there things go wrong every step of the way. Everything seems to be going great, despite some not happy about Bishop and Anja dating. And then…. Well if I say any more then I will have spoilers for this book.
This book is great for anyone who loves the Forged Bloodline Series. This is a great book for anyone who loves Vampire characters in their stories. I would recommend this book, and all the previous ones in this series to anyone who loves paranormal stories and romances.

I'll start with if you are a Bishop fan, you're going to love this book! Heck, even if you're Team Rob, you're still going to love this book! By now, we all have to feel for our girl Anja with everything she's been through since book 1. Bishop is back and he's going to do things right this time. While rekindling their relationship hilarity ensues with dating tips from Mason and "first" dates gone awry. Even though Anja took back her Elder role and things seem calm, an enemy is lurking nearby and things happen that will make you cry. I loved the whole story and the ending was a satisfying one and I think you will find it that way too. Another hit for Lisa Olsen!

I was honored to have been given this ARC for a honest review.
Book #10 does not disappoint!!! If you have not read books 1-9, you must download them now. Lisa has once again drawn this reader back to her love for Bishop & Anja. The story revolves around their revived love story. I will not lie I am a Bishop fan. Although I have much love for Rob & now for Carter, I believe Bishop is the one for Anja. In this story someone is attempting to make trouble for Anja. There is adventure, sadness & love in this story which keeps the reader entertained. I am looking forward to #11 & more of these fabulous characters.
***Note...I may have been given this book for a honest review but I purchased it also as it is a must for my library. Did I mention, I love this series?!!?!?

This is the 10th book in this serie. I love to read the books that Lisa writes. The beginning of this story is very funny the suggestions from Mason to Bishop for the first date with Anja put a smile on my face the writing was so funny. I am a big fan off team Bishop and finally Anja and Bishop goes a lot further. In the first date between Anja and Bishop nothing goes how Bishop has planned the evening the next one goes a lot better. I loved the father figure Lee is for Anja
I hope that we read a lot more about Mason and Hannah. Who is the enemy? I hope to read a lot more books from Lisa Olsen she is a great writer with a lot of fantasy

Anja and family are back, and of course we get the much anticipated first date!! With the laughs and love, of course comes pain and heartache. There is plenty of action as a previous enemy seeks vengeance on Anja, and the events that occur are heartbreaking. I really liked the little more history we got to read on some of my fav characters, and the ending made me happy! As usual per Lisa's books this was an amazing addition to the series, a must-read! Can't wait for the next book, I Hope Anja gets her happy ending!
July 7, 2015
Ok, just a heads up, I am a hardcore Bishop fan and absolutely love that he gets his time to shine and show off his dating skills and prove he knows Anja. Anja's life seems to always throw her curve balls and test her abilities. Curses, lost loves and family transitions keep you on your toes all the way. You will laugh and cry and crave for more. This is my favorite of the series so far and I Loved all of them. You have to read this series in order and as soon as you start you will not want to stop. Lisa is amazing and you will fall in love with her if you have not already.
July 6, 2015
I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for a review! I have loved this series from the very first book! Even when Lisa ripped my heart out and slowly placed it back into it rightful place!
I will forever be Team Bishop! In my eyes Bishop and Anja are the definition of Everlasting Love!
Half way through this book I was thrown for a loop with an unexpected turn of events! I have quickly fallen in love with Carter and no matter how the banter between characters goes I love it all!!!
This is a must read book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! This story Just keeps getting better and better. I have read every book in this series and I must say that Lisa Olsen is an amazing writer. It's just like pringle's, once you start you just can't stop. I don't like to put spoilers and ruin it for other readers , so I will just say this, this one will rip your heart out! Totally worth the time, take my word for it and read this one and if you haven't started this series, then you don't know what you are missing! Five stars Lisa! TRUE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 7, 2015
Once again Lisa Olsen has blown my mind. This book was a much anticipated read for me and was definitely worth the wait. The story drug me in from the beginning and I couldn't put it down. I finished the book over the course of two evenings because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. The plot twists and turns constantly had me wondering "who done it". This is definitely a must read series. And don't think you can stop at one. Once you start you get hooked! Now I have to wait until another one comes out!!
July 6, 2015
I was happy to see Anja not want to rush into anything with Bishop aND wanting to take it slow. But the chemistry between the two is still there and hard for Anja to fight.
This book was hard to put down.
There were some things that happened that makes you want to throw your reading device lol.
Definitely a book worth reading, but you do need to read the other books in the series first. Or you will be lost.

Lisa slays again!! Another hit in this amazing, heart grabbing series! Anja and Bishop working things out, enemies lying afoot, pain and suffering. An amazing balance of all things that make a good book. I absolutely couldn't put it down once I started it. I love this series, I love Lisa, and I love Anja, Bishop and the whole gang!!!
July 6, 2015
I LOVE all the books in this series and this one didn't disappoint. They just keep getting better. A strong female lead character and super hot guys. What's not to like. I love my vampire books but this one is so much more than just a vampire series. I would determinately recommend any of Lisa Olsen's books but this series is for sure my favorite. If you haven't read it, get it.

Jskdjdisnemsjej......
Okay so I love this series. I love the characters and the plots and almost everything involved. It's just fun. All of it. But but but...
I CANT BELIEVE IT ENDED THE WAY IT DID? Gunnar and Lee can't die! Okay so I can accept Hannah becoming a vampire. I can accept Anja's parents being put in the Vampire Witness Protection and their memories altered. I can accept that she never mends her friendship with Brigit. I can even accept Anja giving up her position as Elder. But I can't believe that both Lee and Gunnar died. I can't believe she stays with Bishop. I mean... At one point I loved Bishop, I did. And I suppose I still do. But she should have been with Rob. They were perfect. They were happy. They belonged together. Her and Rob should have worked out. Not Bishop. I just.... I was so disappointed with some of what happened in the book with the characters, I just don't know what to say beyond that. It was okay. Really it was...but it should have ended better.

I really enjoy this series, however I find it more and more difficult with each new book to keep everything straight. Unless you read the previous books recently, it is almost impossible to keep all of the characters straight. The author does not spend any time reminding us who people are or how the main character, Anja, met them. It takes away from what is otherwise an exciting, fast-paced plot, because you're left scrambling for ANY remembered details about this new name that's just been brought into the book.

Just keeps getting better and better!
As I read this book, I have hit the highs and the lows. I cried hard! How could she do that. Why would she do that! I'm completely gutted. There was much action. How are we going to get over that. Kinda glad I have to wait for the next book. I need time to recover from this book. Don't get me wrong, I loved this book. The ending was perfect. Makes me suspicious as to what Lisa Olsen has planned for us to read next. I can't wait! Give me a week and I will be ready for the next book. From a true Fan... Pam James.
