Review: This is book two in this series and they should be read in order. It is a pretty amazing story. I love the way it was told and the characters are awesome. I loved this book just as much book one. Felix is an operative with the Panthera Agency. They are searching for shifters that have been abducted. He has seen a lot of things in his life and he had not really wanted a mate or at least that is what he tells everyone. However when he meets FBI Ajay Singh he realizes that this sexy man was his mate. A mate that he definitely wants. Talk about a surprise of a lifetime.

Ajay is with the FBI and when he finds out that, his team is being replaced by another he goes to Felix to find out why. What he finds out however is that not only is Felix a shifter like he is, but he is his mate. Strong feelings start popping up and he will do everything to keep his mate safe and with him.

The danger they are mixed up in just gets a little crazier with each step they take. They find out a big surprise while painting a friend’s apartment, now all they have to do is how to get the answers they are seeking. Ajay and Felix are not only hot, smart, and sexy but they have the strength behind them to catch the men behind the kidnappings. When Ajay’s brother becomes one of the missing students, they will go to all ends to find him and saved him.

I loved this book. It has the right mixture of danger, excitement, adventure, love, and two hot men protecting shifters and their mates. It will give you everything that you want in a book. If you love the paranormal world then this is one book that you will want to check out. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.

Review: This is book four in this series and they should be read in order. It gives you an insight into each character and their lives. It makes it not only easier to not get misled but it makes for a better series. This book is a lot more fun to read then the others though. It just comes off a little better. I loved the characters and the way they act with each other is just a bit funnier. Timothy and his family have the problem of falling for the same people. So when Timothy falls in love with Dylan. Even though Dylan is mated. So here he is looking for Dylan, when he finds a vampire. Xavier scares him but also draws him in.

Xavier falls for Timothy at first sight but he is having trouble with Tim’s feelings for Dylan. It is a bit strange the way Tim and his family are. It takes a short while, but Tim’s feelings are strengthening for Xavier. But he is afraid to tell him that in his world it isn’t a mating between two people but three. He wonders what Tim’s reaction to the news that they are mated to Adrian also.

Adrian is a white wolf and he is mated to Xavier and Tim. He is scared that he will not be accepted in to the relationship. He is a gentle wolf who has had sexual fun with Xavier and another quite a bit but when you throw in mates it gets a bit exciting. Timothy is not sure what to think when he has two very hot men coming at him. He starts feeling things for both but in his world, it is not done. He wonders what his family will say that instead of two mates he has three.

When the danger comes for Xavier, it is Tim that goes to protect his mates. He almost loses his life saving them. Adrian is trying to keep his family safe as is Xavier but Xavier blames himself for Tim’s injuries. You can tell that there is love between these three men, but that they have fears that slow them down a bit. I think out of all of the books in this series that I have read this one is probably the one that I love a little more. I understand it better than the others do but it still comes off as a teenager’s story. The way they act just leaves me with more questions and not getting the answers. Although I assume that considering, they are each from a different world that it is just the way they are. Although Xavier does go to the human world for blood, he doesn’t really spend time there to learn their ways.

I love paranormal romance and when it comes with sexy men it is a given that I will buy it. I was not absolutely in love with this series but it is still a good read. I can’t wait to see what Amy has up her sleeve. She does have a gift at giving you a story that you can sink your teeth into. I might not have understood the way they act, however once I started reading it kept my attention all the way to the end.

Review: This book is part of the 1 Night Stand series, but each book stands alone. Each book focuses on a different set of character’s that are set up by Madam E and different authors write each book. I love Eva Lafoy and this story was fabulous.

Thomas is stranded in Mumbai where he was on business and found out his company downsized and left all its employees stranded where they were. He hasn’t been with anyone since his past lover was taken from him and still is hurting from that. With all the stress, he isn’t sure he is happy when he gets a notification from Madam E that she has set up his date since he had contacted her six-month ago and this was the first he has heard from her.

Arjun is a male prostitute and born into the slavery cartel. He has no choice in his life, has never experience real lovemaking with a man, and wants to have a real date, which is why he had contacted Madam E.

I love how Madam E is o mysterious and seems to pop up out of nowhere and always makes the perfect connections. Though I’m not a big believer in love at first sight, the mystical aura of Madam E seems to make it work. This story has lots of mystery, angst and passion.

It hints at the front that people wanted toms and Arjun’s story so I feel as if this comes from another book and I really, really want to read that too.

If you like angst, men making new lives, prostitutes, businessmen, mystery, love at first sight, and some hot sensual mansex, this is for you!
