Covers Unveiled: Untamed Possession – Maya Banks, Donna Grant

SWEET POSSESSION – Maya Banks

SWEET Series, book 5.

Release: April 2011

She’s a singer who lives for the spotlight—and can’t resist her adoring fans . . .

Outrageous and out-of-control, Lyric Jones is a spoiled pop star who lives hard and fast, always outrunning her past and the nightmares that haunt her. She’s used to getting what she wants—groupies included—because she can’t stand to be alone. So in bed, it’s the more the merrier, even if it means closing off the deepest part of herself…

He’s a hands-on bodyguard—and a one-woman man.

There is nothing Connor Malone wants to do less than babysit the celebratty songstress while she’s on vacation. But part of him relishes taming Lyric and showing her what it’s like to be possessed—body and soul—by one man. And though Lyric’s crazy antics nearly drive Connor to the edge, his quiet intensity penetrates her defenses, leaving them both vulnerable to the secrets that could topple Lyric from the stage.

Thoughts: The words "wicked" and "sensual" ring from the summary and the cover portrays an embrace that conveys said decadent words. The title and tag line - hints at a conflict I'm ready to invest in. I also prefer this cover to the one beforehand.

Thoughts: The references to "devil," "angel" and the way the summary is constructed makes me twitch with intrigue. The best cover unveiled in this series to date.
