A tale of a man being gifted with a rare woman who exists to fulfill his every sexual wish and his discovery that he wants more than that.

Blackguard thinks only of saving his planet, doing whatever he must to protect his people. Even if he must do something he would rather not, like marrying a seeker morph, a woman who in her bonding with a man will become whatever he desires. Most men would jump for joy at marrying a woman driven by sexual heat to bend to his every wish and command. He isn’t most men. But to cement an alliance his world needs, he must take for wife the woman promised to him.

Annalisse has always known her fate and has accepted that she was given to a man for political reasons. Being a seeker morph, she knows her role, knows she will become whatever this man desires. And yet, when she first faces him, she bristles in irritation at his attitude toward her. She desires him with an overpowering need, one which he can’t resist. But she discovers that she wants more from this man than just sex and bending to his every whim.

The book has an interesting cast of characters who face not only danger from around them but also battles between themselves. Sexual tension is constant and is one of their obstacles. From the very beginning I felt strongly for the hero and was pleased to find the heroine was much more than just a purely sexual being.

This short story was a sweet read. Eli has decided to never settle down and tie himself to just one woman. That is until Saskia enters his life. Eli finds himself wanting more and more to be with her. Saskia is not immune to their attraction either. Hopefully they will be able to figure it all out before it is to late.

 

The instant attraction that Eli and Saskia have is a wonderful read. I really enjoyed Saskia she is a woman in charge and thinks she has no time for relationships yet she falls deeply for Eli. Eli is a man who loves with all his heart and when Saskia hurts him we see just what a stand up man he is. He loves her but will not smother her with something she does not want but the two cannot take their time to work things out. It seems Miles has found them and wants to put an end to things. Both Eli and Saskia endear themselves to the reader as we see just how far they will each go to save the other.

 

This is a great installment in Marisa Chenery’s werewolf series. Each and every hero and heroine in this series is a great character and I cannot wait to see them all find their mates. 

As with all of this author's other books, this one was not only a hot read but one that lets the love shine through.

“Haven Smith is a shifter who has never shifted. She spends her evenings protecting women and children from the men who would hurt them. She likes her solitary life just fine, until one night she meets a man who changes her world forever. Adam is determined to take Haven to meet the family she doesn’t remember and show her that she deserves love--his love.”

Ms Summers start of the Alexander Wolves series promises to be a start of a series I am destined to buy.  The story starts with a flawed Alpha Female, she is a shape shifter who refuses to shift, can’t get much more flawed then that.  She is one of the strongest heroines I have encountered in a long while and is immediately likable and relate-able. Enter our hero, a man I would take home any day of the week, gentle and infinitely patient all the while sexy, and all MALE. Exactly what Haven needs. The story is strong and riveting. My only complaint is that the POV switches occasionally made me feel like I was head hopping.  I simply couldn’t put this book down once I started reading, I found myself opening my nook at the drive thru waiting for my lunch and any minute I could sneak a peak. I cannot wait for the next story in the series.  So hurry up Ms Summers, your eager readers await.

Ashley doesn’t want a relationship—with anyone. After her first love tried to kill her after finding out she was a vampire, minding her own business seemed the best bet for survival. Just getting by on a crappy job and hospital blood, she’d also fighting a very strong vampire named Victor who is trying press a mating bond on her. The more she refuses, the more he presses, but she’s long from giving in. When the Center for Paranormal Research and Investigation offers her a job that pays well, Ashley accepts, hoping it’s enough to give her a new start. She soon finds there are more dangerous things than serial killers when she teams up with human telepath, Will Connor.

There was a lot to like in Unclaimed. Ashley keeps a balance of badass and conscience which is always nice in vampire. Some of the fight scenes got a little long (oh and gory, so if you’re not into the occasional eating of guts, maybe pass on this one). The same themes were hit upon often, but they were important themes to both characters so they worked. Ms. Steiger leaves several doors open for a series with this one and I would be very willing to pick up the next tale of Ashley and Will.

Sometimes what we dream of isn’t what we really want, especially when it comes to true love.
Jessica and Thalia, twins, are happy just being royal princesses of the Fae kingdom. But their parents suddenly resign. Now the sisters make a pact that the first one to find true love will be exempt from having to take over as Queen, since neither one wants the role. Jessica is determined not to be forced to deal with all the daily drudgery of ruling a kingdom. What she wants are the finer things in life, and to get them she decides she must marry a Peer of the Realm.

Trevor Warren, referred to teasingly by his football mates as His Lordship, has dreams of being the premier footballer in the U.K. someday. He plays hard on and off the field. Then his life changes when he meets a sassy, sexy woman who has no idea who he is in the sports world. He’s definitely not a Peer of the Realm, but…

This was a short, fun and sexy story about two unlikely lovers. So opposite, and yet not.

As a member of the pride Meg, a lioness, has been expected to submit for breeding twice a month since she turned 18. Tired of the cold, indifferent nature of her pride, Meg longs to strike out on her own, creating a home and family that would love her rather than tolerate her. Meg manages to escape to Strange Hollow, home to many different outcasts, and meets Jacob. 

Jacob is a bear who lives up to the name man-slut. He’s on the prowl every night for someone new whether it be a woman or a man. As a bear Jacob is at the top of the heap and enjoying his life until he meets Meg—his mate? 

This story had a lot of potential to be very interesting and sweet. I love any story with a former bad boy, but it did not live up to its potential. “Can’t Bear It” has an incredibly rushed plot, all of which takes place within 24-48 hrs. I really felt for Meg in the beginning of the story and cheered for her making a change in her life, but then I lost touch with her as a character. Jacob was completely unlikeable to me and perhaps that’s because he doesn’t even meet with his heroine until halfway through the story, and doesn’t have time to truly change. The overall setup of this world would have been interesting, to learn the dynamics of the pride, the different shifter races, and more about Strange Hollow, but all of that information was glossed over and the story moved on with a rapid pace. If this story was longer and time had been taken to establish these factors I would have enjoyed it, but with what was there, I’m not impressed.

At thirty-two, Marie is more than ready to settle down. But living in a small town leaves much to be desired when it comes to decent single men. Tired of her lonely life Marie makes an inadvertent wish on Halloween that her scarecrow was real and she could have someone for just one night. As she is settling down for the night, Marie hears a knock on the door and finds her mystery man on her doorstep. She spends a wonderful night in his arms only to wake up and find him gone the next morning. Can she find a way to bring her fantasy man back to life? 

This was a very cute story. I really enjoyed it. Marie was well written and her loneliness resonated with me. The pacing was good and worked well for this short story. Although the relationship only had a night to develop, Marie and her mystery man fit well together. They were very sweet to read about, and brought a smile to my face. I found this story to be entirely lovable and would recommend it. A nice Halloween treat.

Maximillian Z is an abomination according to those who created him in a lab, experiment on him, and now hunt him after he escaped. He believes he can never have a real relationship with anyone because of what he is and so works as a mercenary.

An interesting cast of characters, some unique conflicts, and a spicy romance…a wonderful read.

The Stonegars, Book 1

Talk about a man being frustrated!

Erac Dane has spent years cursed and trapped as a stone statue, sculpted in a sitting position. He has been “so close and yet so far” from the woman he desires. She has sat in his naked, stone lap and rubbed her ass against his ever-hard cock for far too long. She has shared her sexual frustrations and her life with him all this time and he could do nothing to help her or give them both relief. Until…

Vena Waring has suffered through one unhappy relationship after another. Her trouble with men began with the father she never knew, a man never talked about. The only “man” she could count on was Erac. “If only Erac could have loved her back.”

I have been to Stonehenge and found it awe-inspiring. The author’s twist on using the famous place was great fun and well done. The characters were unique and I especially enjoyed poor Erac’s frustrations at the beginning. Talk about torturing a hero!

Starting over after being cheated on and dumped by your husband of nineteen years isn’t easy. Learning to trust again in the love of another man is harder.

Devin Malone never expected her marriage to end so badly, to be so humiliated. Yet, in looking back, she knows the signs of imperfection in their marriage were always there. Her ex-husband had never really known her or even cared enough to learn the little things about her likes and dislikes.

Cole Braxton has watched over her for years, has been there when she needed someone, has been a true friend, and knows what she likes. But he wants more than to be just her friend. He wants to be there to help her pick up the pieces of her life. He wants to convince her to turn to him and let him love her like she deserves to be loved. But he’s her chauffeur, and he’s much younger. How can he possibly get what he wants?

For such a short story, it was beautifully written. I was pulling for both of the main characters from the beginning. I was angry at her ex right along with Devin. I was hoping she would let him love her right along with Cole. And when they do finally come together… Oh my!

Devlin Morgan and Gradyn Connell have one thing on their minds when they meet in a bar one Friday night in San Francisco. One good, hard fuck. After the hell he’s been through, Gradyn knows the young man sitting at the end of the bar--with his sweet nervousness and beautiful face--is just what he needs. And Gradyn has absolutely no problem getting up to say hello. Devlin knows inviting muscle-bound, tattooed Gradyn to his motel room is the riskiest thing he’s ever done, but there’s something in the man’s warm green eyes that tells Devlin everything will be all right.

One explosive encounter in Devlin’s motel room is the plan. Only, it turns out one hot fuck isn’t enough for either man. Dinner afterward leads to another round in bed, and what follows is a weekend together that stirs more emotions than either Devlin or Gradyn ever expected to feel.

Things are not always what they seem….

Cameron Dane has always had a wonderful flow with words and this book is no exception. You genuinely feel for the characters and take the journey with them as you watch the story unfold. Especially in this book, the encounter talked about in the part of the blub above between the two men is actually told through a series of flashbacks and boy, is there a lot of “encounter”. If you’re looking for hot male loving, this is the story for you. It’s hot and enjoyable, that’s for certain, but there was a few places where it seemed like the story had become all about that—the sex. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it detracted from the plot a bit. I’d get pulled into what happened before and forget about what was happening currently. Still, a very well told story that draws you in and takes you for a delightful ride with the men.

When police officer Daylen Reardon comes across two men fighting in an alley with swords she never realizes that this chance encounter would change her life and Jager is stunned to see his mate show up while he is fighting a lone wolf who is working for Miles.

This book is another great installment in this series. I enjoyed watching the bond grow between Daylen and Jager. Daylen is a smart woman who can stand on her own. Jager is an alpha male through and through yet he yearns for a mate who can stand toe to toe with him.

As the two are trying to deal with their mating urges they must also deal with Miles the sworn enemy of Roxie and her protectors. Not only do we get to see Jager and Daylen we get to visit with many of the characters from the previous books. I could not get enough of the hilarious banter between everyone especially during the family meeting scene. Each and every one of these characters endears themselves to the readers.

Marisa Chenery weaves a wonderful story keeping the reader turning the pages wanting to see what comes next. I love that all the alphas whether they are men or woman have depth and make mistakes. Jager’s Mate is a well-written book that should not be missed.

From the get go, Ashley has her hands full. In addition to fighting monsters on the side, she has to constantly rebuff Victor, a powerful vampire determined to mate with her.

Must admit, I loved Ashley’s character from the start. While she’s a berretta wielding vampire with a take-no-prisoners attitude, she’s also a woman with a softer side who’s encumbered by heartbreaking memories. When she meets telepath, Will Conner, sparks fly. Ashley struggles with her attraction to him. After all, to be with Will puts his life at risk from Victor. That and the fact she’s a vampire. How could he ever desire her if he knew such a thing? On top of all this, there’s another enemy, Blaine, a powerful telepath and serial killer. The man she’s been hired to kill.

Unclaimed is definitely a thrilling page-turner. I found myself sympathizing with both the hero and heroine as they tried to overcome all to be together. Super sensual, action packed and well-written, Amanda Steiger pens a vampire novel well worth reading. I highly recommend this story!

Wendy Martin is in trouble. She owes money to the wrong person and her life, as well as her family’s, are at stake. With a mysterious lead, she goes searching for the fabled Eloria’s Tear, a priceless religious artifact said to contain the power of a saint long dead. On her way she meets Zander, a creepy guy who keeps himself hidden, but offers to help for a price. Wendy finds that Zander is more than he appears, a chimera who is no longer completely human who needs the Tear to regain his humanity. They’ll have to work together to not only find the Tear, but also to keep it and stay alive.

Eloria’s Tear: good stuff. I enjoyed how flawed Wendy was. She was short sighted, forgot basic things and was terribly impulsive. Those things drove the story. It got a bit long at times, but even in those slower points I enjoyed watching Zander and Wendy get closer. There was danger and the fight scenes were intense with a mix of physical and magic-type violence which I found very engaging. Elloria’s Tear is a story that anyone looking for a bit of fantasy will really enjoy.

Ms Holland has written a fun and unique book full of every paranormal thing I

can think of. This is a paranormal lovers playground. The characters were wonderful and a couple I was routing for the entire time. Although this is book two, I had no problem jumping right into the series and following the story line. In fact, the story is independent enough that if I hadn’t known it was in a series it never would have occurred to me.

My biggest complaint about this book, and the reason I can’t give it a higher score, is that Ms Holland has a book that could have been full length. It felt like scenes were cut short and there could have been so much more to it. It’s all there right at her finger tips and the reader would read it if she would just give it to them. A good read that was just a little too short, but still very recommended.
