Jan Irving Writes

The Alien in my Kitchen

Lightning Strikes Book Two

Mitchell Blake has given up on romance. At least the equations in his scientific experiments add up, unlike his charming, lying jerk of an ex. But he's still saddened to hear when brooding tattooed poet Jaden Ross is killed in a freak motorcycle crash--until Jaden shows up in Mitchell's kitchen and tells him a crazy story that he's been assigned as an unearthly warrior guardian to watch over Mitchell.

Jaden is more than human. He's come from a galaxy far, far away and it's not, unfortunately, just to share his out of the world body with Mitchell. Despite Jaden's fear of appliances--they have moving parts and are very primitive--and his burning curiosity about human mating rituals, he is determined to keep Mitchell safe from the killer stalking him.

The Viking in My Bed

Lightning Strikes Book One

Bailey Moore is a cynical, wise-talking college student who saves his mushy, romantic side for the historical romances he's addicted to--until he wakes up crushed under six feet three inches of aroused Viking warrior.

At first he takes Freyr Grímsson as a glorious odd ball obsessed with Medieval role playing--down to his rough hewn sword, but Frey insists Bailey is his guide in this new world and when Bailey is attacked by a mysterious creature, he's convinced that he and Frey have to wage a battle to drive evil forces off campus. But when his Viking conquers him in bed, Bailey is afraid Frey will also lay claim to his secret, vulnerable heart.

The title is the biggest hint about what a fun book this is. Jan Irving adds her very own brand of humor and imagination to a tried and tested type of story, and, viola, you’ve got a book that will make you laugh while trying to recover from the very hot between-the-bedfurs activity that is liberally sprinkled throughout the pages. Not to forget the slightly mystical angle and some very evil, disgusting monsters that seem to come straight from the underworld--Serena Yates, QMO Reviews.

A Cowboy in Ravenna

Book six in the Uncommon Cowboys Series

Ranch foreman Trinity March has always protected the boss’s son, innocent young human Chace Davidson, but can Trin keep the dark creature inside him from finally claiming Chace?

Foreman Trinity March has always taken care of the boss’s son, impulsive, passionate Chace Davidson. He knew Chace was his mate the moment he taught him to ride but he figures he’s not good enough for the innocent young human.

Chace aches for Trin but when he runs off to Italy to lose his embarrassing virginity Trin follows, just like always, under orders from Chace’s father to ‘straighten’ Chace out. Good luck since wolf shifter Trin just might take what he has always wanted.

I really enjoyed this addition to the Uncommon Cowboys series. It was different yet the underlying meaning the same, to find acceptance in a world they feel has given them nothing but heartache--Coreopsis at Whipped Cream Reviews.

Chace is a fascinating character. He is an artist, talented and very conscious of his need for Trin, and goes after what he wants in all areas of his life. He is also a vegetarian, which makes for some fun scenes when Trin learns to cook him vegetarian dishes. And if a meat-loving predator doing that doesn’t show love… It takes a bit of doing for Chace to realize that he’s more powerful than he knows, and once he does – hold on to your hats! He’s more than a worthy mate for Trin, never mind that he’s ‘only’ human, and seeing him become a full partner was wonderful to watch--Serena Yates, QMO reviews.
