Blurb: Tristan Massey didn’t set out to become the alpha of Fraser Lake’s werewolf pack. All he wanted to do was borrow a car. But he couldn’t ignore the dangerous direction his beloved pack was heading in.

Jake Trenton, tiger shifter, has a secret far more important than his unrequited love for his best friend. One that he will do anything to protect, even move thousands of miles away from everything he’s ever loved.

One night of passion ends with a mistake that ties them together for life and ends in disaster. While Tristan struggles with the consequences of letting go of his rigid control, Jake must decide whether he can show, and accept, his true nature.

Reviewer: Tams

Review: Note: This series is a companion series to the Called to Mate series by Lynn Tyler. While you can read this book without having read the others, there is a storyline for both men in the Called to Mate series that might be important to read.

Jake Trenton is hiding a secret that is far more volatile than the love he harbors for his best friend. Hiding ones true nature is enough to drive anyone insane, but Jake has to hide his feelings for Pierce as well. Add to that what his father did to the Smooth Rock Falls pack and Jake finds himself searching for anywhere else to be besides the Falls.

Tristan Massey never wanted to be Alpha, but when his Alpha loses focus on what’s best for the pack, Tristan has no choice but to challenge him and step up. He makes the trip to the Falls to try to find an Omega for his pack, what he finds is tiger shifter looking for a way out. Tristan offers Jake sanctuary within his pack and as much as it pains Jake to leave Pierce, he knows he has to cut that string and move on.

The attraction is immediate, but both men tamp it down. Jake fears anyone in his new pack learning his true nature so he doesn’t share it with anyone, not even Tristan. And Tristan refused to act on the attraction feeling that his pack won’t accept a gay Alpha.

When they finally succumb to the attraction Tristan’s wolf does what he has wanted to do since the day they laid eyes on Jake, he claims what is theirs. But Tristan still refuses to admit their mating out loud, actually denying it when asked point blank, and in doing so he drives Jake right back to the Falls.

Called to Mate has always been one of my favorite shifter series and this new spin off promises to be just as good, if not better, than the first. My heart broke for Jake when he was first introduced into the series, how he tried to overcome the wrongs of his father. And now we have Tristan who has to learn that appearance isn’t everything, while he thinks telling his pack he is gay and showing them he loves Jake will make him look weak. He has to learn the love they share will only make them stronger.

As usual, Tyler has this way of showing the vulnerability in characters and then allowing them to grow through love and understanding with her writing. I was drawn into the story from the start and it never lost my attention. The flow was steady, the characters were three-dimensional and the storyline was strong.

Tristan is strong and passionate even though he’s pigheaded at times as well. Jake is soft and sensual and it’s his level headedness that balances the pack. Now the two of them as a couple have to find their balance.

Definitely a must read for fans of Tyler’s former series as well as anyone that likes shifter stories, strong Alpha male romance and rocky road that leads to the perfect Happy Ever After.

Elder Petersen’s Mission Memories

by

Jeff Laver

Steve Petersen has been hoping his homosexual feelings are “just a phase.” But as a nineteen-year-old embarking on a two-year Mormon mission in South America, he realizes those feelings are still there, and he’s attracted to another missionary—the companion he’s been assigned to be with 24 hours a day.

Set primarily in 1972, less than three years after Stonewall, these missionaries have been taught by their church that homosexuality is an abomination, and those who “suffer” from those “tendencies” must repent. Worse, with God’s help, fervent prayer, and mind over matter, they can become heterosexuals. Steve’s conflict is real and heart-wrenching; he’s an official representative of his church, but he’s falling in love with his companion. Can he reconcile his church doctrine and the feelings of his heart?

Release Date: 1st July 2015

Review: An intriguing read as Gary tries to make sure things stay professional while at work. Tim seems to do a better job of the professional aspect than Gary does. As with the first book there is plenty of steam in this one as well.

I really wish it had been longer.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Space Warrior’s collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

Caleb has one little problem, he can’t read people like he should. It was the one reason that he was not being promoted. However now was not the time to think about it, he was sent in to figure out why people missing. What he had not expected was to find a cute little thief whose butt was in trouble. The guy always seemed to be in trouble, but now the cutie came with two little trouble makers.

Laird had watched a man kill his father and found out that it was for drugs. Then all he did was run instead of help. The thing was he had only been twelve. He always ran from danger. That is until he found himself with Ren and Key. He would do everything to protect them. They were special and the markings on their skin showed cat shifter.

Now he had this gorgeous warrior saying that he was his mate and that it was his job to protect him. Didn’t the man know he could protect himself? Obviously not, cause the man figured out how to read him. Damn he couldn’t get away with anything now. He did come to the conclusion that he wanted Caleb just as much as Caleb wanted him.

The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their love ones with their entire lives. I love the paranormal tone and the little bit of twists that come with it.

I can’t wait to read the next story. When Sydney puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Blurb: Consequences. Making the wrong move led to bad places. Tor should have learned the hard lesson by now, but he’s a slow learner. Questioning the dragon shifter who tried to kill his brother should have been easy. Torture is Tor’s specialty, but Tor finds himself eager to partake in some debauchery when he finds an eager submissive in Kelas.

Kelas Cervantes is a half-blood dragon. Among his clan, being gay is a crime worse than death, but Kelas does what he wants. He’d follow orders, but only from a man capable of bringing him to his knees.

And Kelas believes Tor’s the right man for the job.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the fifth book in Havoc’s Crew series. Kelas is a half-blood dragon who gets caught by the brother of the man whose son he kidnapped. Tor is a wizard who works with Havoc’s Crew. This book is about the two of them and there is no action or fight scenes in it.

Though I did enjoy the story I was disappointed as well. I was expecting a problem to come up and Havoc’s Crew to take care of it. But that’s not what happens. Instead Kelas is taken prisoner by Tor only to learn they both have the same dark tastes and are mates.

Review: Very interesting read. What I loved the most is how Jasek danced to his own tune instead of following normal traditions as the way it usually went. Jasek reminded me of someone who is strong, sure and determined and never lets someone tell him what he should do. He also seems fair and reasonable when the need arises.

Tarrin seemed very much to love Jasek and stood by him no matter what he decided. A strong and loving bond to be sure. I loved how these two so completely complemented the other throughout the book. Great story with some hot sex that added spice to the story.

Highly recommended.

Blurb: Designing a complex revolving gate system is something a mechanical savant like Garnet Reynard thinks up in his sleep…

Being able to explain it in a way people could actually understand without his nerves getting the better of a geek like him is the challenging part. At least he’s got outlets for those times, like riding his tricked-out ATV at breakneck speeds.

Which is how he happened upon some dirty hound sex going on in the woods and is caught peeping. Clayton Arnold is all too happy to find the sexy stranger who can’t seem to get his mouth to work. When they meet up again and Clayton hears Garnet’s voice, things get complicated and exciting fast and there’s not a very good way to let Garnet in on the change in their status.

Right, because keeping the secret of being mates has ever worked out well. But when a life-threatening accident happens, will they take the chance to fix what’s wrong or will it wrench them farther away from the love they both want?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Hounds of Hell collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

Garnet is one special man and was saved by the hellhounds and angels. He loved to be a bit feisty and drives fast. When he was given an ATV, he had of course had to trick it out. Make it go faster and he never did follow the straight road. He had been told many times that he was going to break his damn neck. While out he came across a hell-hound pounding another. Turned the hell on, he was shocked when the hound found him out.

Clayton has taken to the sexy little man he has found in the woods, but then was shocked when he found out that Garnet is his mate. His litter follows the old rules, when one takes a mate they all get to play with him. What he never understands was why his mate was not going for it. Clayton really needs his ass kicked.

There is something about the way that Flynn tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time, but it will more than likely have you laughing your ass off at parts of it. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their love ones with their entire lives.

I love the paranormal tone and the little bit of twists that come with it. I had never really thought about a story that not only has angels in it but hellhounds also. When one thinks hellhound, they think evil and death. Now granted they were originally from hell and they can kill who they think need to die, these guys are different. Now even though there is a bit of angst with each character, which at times can drive a reader nuts, there is very little danger. This one is a bit different as is Garnet being in trouble but no outside danger.

Other than that I had a blast reading this story. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This book two in the Quads of the Alpha S series. One of the things I love most about this series so far is you learn why each human was working where they ended up. Tripp seemed lost and alone. He’s captured by the Xinthpats while on a mission gone terribly wrong and turned.

Orinth, Gregan and Tevos were Quintos who were turned as well by the vicious Xinthpats and want Tripp as their own if he is able to survive the turning. Though I understood their reasoning it bothered me somewhat that they wanted to break Tripp in order for him not to succumb to the memories of his time with the Xinthpats like so many other aliens had done and not been able to cope and ended up killing themselves as a result.

This book grabs your attention from the start and keeps it until the very end. Intense scenes and emotions as well as some hot sex keep the reader entertained. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Loved it.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is the first book of Jenny’s that I have read and I was impressed with parts of it. However overall, the story lacked something to pull the whole story together. It was most difficult to get into completely, or follow what is happening. It has a lot of mystical aspect put into it that was hard to figure out.

I think it will make a good story but to do so it would have to be redone with some stuff added in that will give you an idea of who is who and what they are doing. It went from one person going on a hunt, then the next it goes to the other guy. However it was missing the connection that makes it easier to see that.

Tucker has waited some time to find his mate, but he knew he needed to look. So he goes in search and finds the man made for him. Malcolm however finds a wolf, gets bitten and ends up in a strange place that involves an owl. That owl sure does get some bad reactions out of the residents. There is some hot sex between them, but overall this book needs some serious redoing.

When I choose it to read, I had taken one look at the blurb and thought it sounded good. It comes off fast paced, like the writer was rushed. It goes from Tucker going to search for his mate, to Malcolm getting bitten and then farther on. It was not my idea of a story that I would want to read again. I was quite disappointed in it.

When I first started reading, it sounded reasonably good but then it lost my attention to fast. I will wait for book two to see if they do get better. Otherwise I am not sure if this series is for me.

Review: His Majesty, King Ferdinand Augustus Maxos III, and his six four Knaves, Jayde, Sol, Raven, Ingigo, Shimmer, and Ochre all dragon shifters, escape after a ruthless enemy takes everything from Max to another world to regroup and strategize their next move to take back what rightfully belongs to Max. Max, even though he is saddened by the traitor, he was still strong and sure, I liked that.

I truly loved this wonderfully written story. The details of Agion were simply breathtaking. The creatures described there were exotic and immense compared to the others.

I loved how Alpha Myre, a gigantic feline shifter, welcomed them in his clan despite the danger to his people. Thyrus, the man who is the reason for Max’s lose, I can’t stand. He seems power-hungry, bloodthirsty, sadistic and will stop at nothing to gain what he wants even murder.

Fascinating with a lot of hot sex between Max and his dragon Knaves along with an awesome plot and battles made this story a fantastic read that keeps the reader’s attention from start to finish with the right amount of danger, suspense and love.

Absolutely loved it and highly recommend it…

Reviewer: Tams

Review: Brayton is a natural-born shifter, a lone wolf and a jack of all trades. He winds up in the mostly supernatural inhabited town of Midsummer at a friend’s request to help a cursed gremlin find out who and why he was cursed, and hopefully, break it. The last thing Brayton expected was to fall for the sexy little shy gremlin that he lovingly nicknames ‘Itty Bitty’ five minutes after they meet.

Ferdie is a gremlin, mechanically inclined by nature, but someone has cursed the poor guy so that every time he tries to tinker, everything he touches falls apart. This, in and of itself, is pure torture for a gremlin. It doesn’t help that his ex-boyfriend is a tool that is trying his damnedest to get Ferdie to forgive him and take him back. And then he finds himself insanely attracted and drawn to the shifter that was sent to break his curse.

This was just a fast, fun read. Megan Derr and Paul Morey have become somewhat of an unstoppable team in the MM romance audio book department. She writes these intricate stories, usually shifter and/or magic oriented, and Morey tells those stories with flawless narration. His voice is like honey dripping off the vine. It’s mesmerizing, sexy and fluent.

While I enjoyed this audio, I did have one issue with the storyline. At least a dozen times, if not more, in less than three hours; Brayton talked about wanting to bang his itty bitty. I don’t think the man went more than fifteen minutes without talking or thinking about it. But they never do.

There is one two-minute scene at the very end where a couple heated blow jobs are exchanged, but that’s it. I felt cheated in that aspect. But aside from that, it was an awesome story and I can’t wait to hear more from the town of Midsummer.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the fifth book in the Outlaw MC5 series. A wonderful addition. I loved Torrin’s character and how he changed. Mayhem showed him the light and made him realize just how messed up and horribly outdated the government was on mars. I was so cheering for the MC’s all throughout.

Intense book with suspenseful scenes that leave you on the edge of your seat waiting for the outcome. Day Si, a peacekeeper has pissed me off from the start of this series. He seemed arrogant and mean to the point of abuse. I really hate his character but realize there is at least one in every story I don’t like.

Action, drama, suspense and some pretty intense battle scenes are in this well written story. I have loved this series from the start as it has everything I want in a story minus the paranormal aspect. You can’t go wrong with sexy bad ass bikers fighting for justice in a cruel world.

Absolutely amazing book and highly recommended.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: Drama queen was such a fun hilarious read. If you like mystery with a touch of humor you will love this.

When bodies start dropping like flies, Nicky and Noah find themselves together trying to find out who is doing the murder and to prove it isn’t Noah. I laughed so much while reading this story. It felt like living a game of clue trying to figure out who done it, then find that person dead and trying to guess again. There are so many twists and turns, lots of innuendo and some sweet, hot off page sex with Nicky and Noah.

I was surprised I never did guess the killer!

I will say there is a lot of technical stuff about pays and directing and teaching in the beginning that I didn’t understand, but I just overlooked that and enjoyed the mystery!

This is such a fun summer read so curl up and enjoy!
If you are looking for a fun mystery, lots of humor, like actors, play directors and hot professors, sweet romance and mild, mostly off-page but sensual man-sex this is definitely for you!

Review: This is the second book in An Aaron Jaycynth Mystery. Though I didn’t read the first I truly enjoyed this book though a few times i was confused. The mystery itself was awesome. I felt myself slowly sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what Aaron and his team was going to do.

It seemed as though Aaron was a little out of his death with his personal life. I felt the BDSM scene was a little much and the story would have flowed more smoothly without it. Aside from that I enjoyed it.

Great read that draws the reader into a mystery that needs to be solved before anyone is killed, though at times I thought I had it figured out and other times I was scratching my head. At the same time Aaron struggles with his personal life to please a sub.

All in all it was really good.

Blurb: Nico Sanzio da Urbino stays busy with his Odd Squad job investigating paranormal crimes, but he’s still haunted by the idea that the usurper he killed at Jet’s pack meeting was familiar. As an ancient enforcer, it’s always possible the werewolf was a relative of someone from Nico’s past, but if he wants to make sure the local Alpha keeps his head, Nico needs to find the connection before revenge comes calling.

Running background checks as part of the upgraded security measures for his pack, Alpha Jet Gorman discovers not everyone can be accounted for in the usual manner. In fact, several of the young rogue wolves he’s ordered to his pack are from human families…with no history of a bite to account for their wolfy tendencies.

No wonder they were runaways. Before he can verify they pose no danger to the other werewolves, he must first discover the secret of their existence. A secret worth killing for.

Despite their differences, there is an undeniable connection between the ancient vampire and the young Alpha that seems to go beyond the blood they’ve exchanged—and keeps them circling around their very obvious mutual attraction. But while one man is looking for a way to move their relationship into the bedroom, the other is searching for a reason to stay true to his past

Reviewer: Cat

Review: This is book two in this series and book 8 in the Pulp Fiction collection. You do need to read the series in order and it would really help you understand the characters if you read the entire collection in order.

Jet is having trouble accounting for all the members in his pack. Some of the young rogues he has ordered into his pack are from human families and have no Idea how they became werewolves.
When Nico witnesses the near murder of one of the teens he helps Jett investigate. There is definitely an attraction between the two but will Jett let go of his mourning of Russ and give in to the sexy Vampire.

I love this series. I have a thing for Vampires and werewolves and this is such a good series. There is lots of drama, angst mystery and in this one there was a touch of hot man-sex.

I was biting my nails all the way through!

Reviewer: Tams

Review: Do you ever finish a book and think, I want to see where these two are a few years down the road? Well that is what Proud Heart does, it gives you a glimpse into the life Chance and Bradley have settled into now that they found their happy ever after.

Chance and Bradley have been together three years now and still going strong. But there are a few tears in the fabric of their lives that need mending. Chance had to take a step back from the restaurant when his father fell ill, so Bradley has taken over running the place which takes him away from home, and Chance, for long hours and late nights. Little arguments over mundane things become all out wars, caused by the stress they are both feeling over the separation.

On top of all that, they are trying to plan a wedding and not everyone they love is happy about the pending nuptials. When the opportunity to escape from life and responsibility for the weekend arises, Bradley makes plans to secure his future with Chance and prove to his Cowboy that he and their life together is the most important thing.

What a wonderful follow up to Chance of the Heart! Boehme shows that sometimes life can be messy. There are unforeseen challenges to maintaining a business, a life and a relationship. But the one thing that never wavers is the love Chance and Bradley have for one another. They are passionate and committed so when they argue or disagree. All that passion bleeds over into the fight. This was just a fast, fun read with a little bit of drama and angst, and a whole lot of love and compromise.

There were just a few typos that drew my attention away from the story momentarily, but overall, I loved this short story.

Perfect addition to this series, I do hope there will be more to come.
