Blurb: Mischief, thou art afoot.

Special Agent Ryan “Mac” McGuinness is having a rough week. Not only is he on a new diet, but he’s also been tasked with keeping Henry Page – the world’s most irritating witness – alive. Which is tough when Mac’s a breath away from killing the Shakespeare-quoting, ethically-challenged, egg-obsessed Henry himself. Unless killing isn’t really what Mac wants to do to him.

Con man Henry Page prefers to keep his distance from the law… though he wouldn’t mind getting a little closer to uptight, handsome Agent McGuinness. As the sole witness to a mob hit, Henry’s a valuable asset to the FBI. But he’s got his own agenda, and it doesn’t involve testifying.

When evidence surfaces of a mole in the FBI office, Mac and Henry are forced to go into hiding. Holed up in a fishing cabin, they’re surprised to discover that their feelings run more than skin deep. But as the mob closes in, Henry has to make his escape. And Mac has to decide how far he’s willing to go to keep Henry by his side.

Reviewer: Gigi

Review: The Two Gentlemen of Altona is a funny, devious, and fast paced who dunnit with a healthy dose of attraction thrown in. It’s a very “Catch me if you can!” scenario between Mac and Henry. Many humorous references to Shakespeare are woven into this funny mystery.

As far as the heat goes, our two characters seem to have chemistry, but they keep missing the ignition process…leaving us wanting and waiting until the next book! 

My favorite thing about The Two Gentlemen of Altona is the character Henry, or whatever identity he’s going with. He’s so creative, devious, and totally enjoys getting under Mac’s skin. I love how he keeps picking on Mac about his diet. It’s a simple ploy, but so funny in the ways he uses it. 

The narrator, Nick J. Russo does a wonderful job giving each character a unique sounds, I’ve enjoyed many of his narrations, and the Playing the Fool series is just as top notch as all of the others.

This is a series you’ll definitely want to read in order, and it’s serial, so you won’t get all your answers or even half of them in this book. Totally worth the listen, and I look forward to more!

Reviewer: Lisa

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

I have read many books over the years paranormal and contemporary; I have loved many series and authors. However over time I start to lose interest in them whether it is from the change in writings to the wait time for a book from a certain series but this is one series I can guarantee that will never lose my attention.

Bellann and Stormy’s stories have a serious tone to them, but with some of the characters you can guarantee a good laugh during it. This story is fully developed and detailed, that it feels like you are right there with them. The world that has been created is a dangerous world for the paranormal, but they will protect each other no matter what.

While in captivity Barclay had been aware that for some reason the doctor loved to torture him even more than his brothers. He had even put a deadly capsule inside of him to see how long it would take to kill him. As time when by he knew he was dying and was afraid for his mates. His sweet little duck, whom he never let shift, had kept him from going crazy. Barclay wanted his brothers to find their mates so that they would never be alone. He also knew that he wanted his duck to have that too. If he mated with the duck or their other mate they would die, so he did what he could to help Elliot find another.

Travarus is a strong shifter and very dominate. When he was rescued and found out that he had two mates he was going to bind them together. That is until Clay said no. Elliot and Travarus had to show their mate death was not an option.

There is some kinky sexy in this one, well what does one expect when there are three sexy mates. This one actually made me tear up a bit, but the ending was perfect. I always get a kick out of these stories and cannot wait till the next one comes out. They are the perfect length for me and I absolutely love these guys.

This story rocked, but then I had no doubt that it wouldn’t. Trust me you guys have got to read these books.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Every once in a while you find an author that can give you a story that you could lose yourself into, and Stormy is that author for me. The world she creates are unique, enticing and downright drool worthy. I love how the characters not only stand up for those they love but they don’t back down when someone is in trouble. They have a serious tone to them but there is just a hint of humor to make them perfect for me. 

Aldrin has finally moved to Cade Creek. He even has a job at the local diner and loving it. He has his eye on one sexy man who comes in. However Trudy has already warned him that Jonah is not an easy person. He is in fact very grumpy and not very nice to people. However that doesn’t stop Aldrin from going after the man and making him smile. 

Jonah’s grandfather founded Cade Creek and growing up he was not a happy camper. He gave his family hell and even joined the military to get away. Then tragedy struck and it was his stubborn father that had told him to come home, the first time. Then something even worse happened, he was injured while at war, and on the same week he lost his entire family to a car accident. He broke down and hid out on his mountain top. His therapist suggested going to a few places at least once a week and one of his favorites was going to have Sunday dinner at the diner. He just had not expected to find a man that might make him want to live again. Too bad someone out there wanted them dead.

This author’s stories not only draw you in but keeps you there. She gives you hot sex, lots of love and tenderness, mixed in with excitement, adventure and lots of dangerous situations 
The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. To me there is nothing better than a good romance.

I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series that you can’t put down and have to read more than once. It is the perfect story for me and gave me all that I needed. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story. I had a blast reading it and I can’t wait to read the next story. When Stormy puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: This story takes place on a college campus. There are a wide range of characters that interact throughout. The son, Wilder, of a prominent politician who uses blackmail to control others. He wreaks havoc among the students and four students, Tony, Sarah, Dashel and Ashley soon have their world turned upside down.

Wilder’s ruthlessness is unnerving as the four individuals face the aftermath with differing results. It’s complex yet intriguing story as we follow the story and the reasoning’s behind the actions. The four students differ from each other in every way.

The author details Tony, Ashley, Dashel and Sarah very well so that we get a true understanding of who they are and where they come from. I truly loved this well written book. It has drama, suspense and mystery that keeps the reader interested and invested to the very end.

Highly recommended.

Heat Level: Low – Moderate

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Blurb: What humans want from the Silver Planet is water. What they find is a race of humanoids who are sentient, but as emotionless and serene as the plants and placid lakes they tend.

B, captain of the mission, doesn’t believe that the “Silvers” are intelligent, and lets his crew experiment on them. But then he bonds with Imms, who seems different from the others—interested in learning, intrigued by human feelings. And B realizes that capturing, studying, and killing this planet’s natives has done incalculable damage.

When a fire aboard B’s ship kills most of the crew and endangers Imms, B decides to take him back to Earth. But the simplicity of the Silver Planet doesn’t follow them. Imms learns the full spectrum of human emotions, including a love B is frightened to return, and a mistrust of the bureaucracy that wants to treat Imms like a test subject, even if they have to eliminate B to do it.

(Note: This is a revised second edition, originally published elsewhere.)

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: Captain B and his crew are tasked to investigate an unknown lifeform named Silvers. They travel to Silvers and discover humanoids almost devoid of emotions. One such Silver is Imms. He is an enigma of his kind as he actually feels emotions. 

Imms goes back to earth with Captain B. I found it interesting to see how Imms tried to blend into his new surroundings. Things were not easy for him in the least. 

I found the book to be interesting as two men from different worlds collide. It makes you think of all you know and what it means to be human. Are things really as they seem or are they different and we just do not see past what is right in front of us.

I loved the details regarding Imms and his planet. I was impressed by the complex yet simplicity of the story.

Fantastic read. Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: This was an emotional and outstanding book. Ton and Dej have been together a long time but as friends. Ever since Dej was left by his ex, pregnant and alone, Ton has always been there for him, helping him care for his sick daughter. I gotta tell you I truly cried at the injustice of a sweet and fragile life being in pain all the time yet not being able to talk. 

Ton knows Dej is his mate yet he cannot mate with him due to a devastating illness he had when he was younger. I swear it seemed these two could not catch a break throughout this story. But love will prevail through all. 

I loved the entire story. Though emotional the details regarding both Dej and Ton were really good. I was fascinated by how different they were from the normal paranormal beings I read about.

Awesome story. Highly recommended.

Josephine Myles

Being “wrong” has never felt so right!

Felix McAvoy is having an identity crisis. No longer the bad boy of art college, he’s now employed as a human billboard, roaming the centre of Bath dressed as a Roman soldier while attempting to fight off his nicotine cravings. It’s a comedown for the former conceptual artist, although there are compensations to the costume. The skirt, for one…

While Felix hasn’t made a secret of his desire to wear women’s clothing, he’s never dared try it until now. He’s always been worried once he goes down that road, he won’t want to come back, and the prospect of cross-dressing 24/7 terrifies him. Of course, he can’t tell that to Andrew, who’s now busy making Felix a slutty red dress.

Andrew Wheeler loves coming home to Felix and their cosy city centre flat. He just wishes Felix would let him know what’s bothering him. And maybe then, Andrew could confide what he really wants. Felix might not see him as anything other than a top, but Andrew’s yearning to switch things up.

Living together is one thing. Actually plucking up the courage to talk about their secret desires is going to be a whole other—and excruciatingly embarrassing—kettle of fish.

As the years crawled by, they’d drifted apart, living in two different cities, with two different careers. Over time, the promises of ever after faded. 

Jayden knew he was equally to blame for letting things fall apart. When phone numbers ceased working, when Nash moved jobs then residences, he knew it was really over. 

It was time to let go. 

Can new life be breathed into an old flame? Can hearts forgive? Can Jayden convince Nash to give love one more try?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Diana always gives you a love story that always intrigues you and keeps you captivated. Her stories have a serious tone to them but there is a hint of humor that make it a lot more fun for me to love. I have read a few stories by Diana and have put her on my automatic buy list. So when I got this story, I was not disappointed at all.

The title is what caught my attention first, and then the sexy cover was next. When I read the blurb I knew I had to read it. Like I said I was not disappointed at all. Seven years is a long time to be without the one you love. Jayden had watched Nash leave and felt his heart go with him. Nash had spent his life wanting the future he planned for and he jumped at the chance. As with many relationships, time changes things for them.

Now seven years has gone past, Jayden wants Nash to let him back in. They went seven years with no word from each other, which make it a bit harder for him. He has shown so much strength in the time. Nash has grown up in his way also, and he wants the life he should have had with Jayden.

I would definitely recommend reading this story but only after you read the first one. Otherwise you might get a bit lost. I was happy to have this ending and look forward to hearing more about them in the future.

I had a blast with it and can’t wait to read another story by this amazing author.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Holden’s first look at Rick is priceless. Here is a man standing on a ledge holding a computer, while his apartment burned behind him. He feels a pull and knows he has found his sun. He just needs to figure out how to tell the sexy photographer. Rick’s only thought was to protect his pictures, his life had been horrible and he had found a way to move on. That is until his apartment catches fire. Then he is about to meet the one man who might just give him a life.

The fire is unlike any fire they have seen, except for one. Holden and his family is about to come across an old foe, set to destroy those who are like Holden. Phoenix shifters are so very rare that you don’t know they are there. It would seem Rick is about to learn of a different world out there.

I came across one other series that involves Phoenix shifters and they have always been a fantasy of mine. So when Jackie wrote this I knew I had to grab it up. I have always loved a good paranormal love story and when I am given a new set of shifters I am there. I can’t wait to see what the next story brings me. To top it off you get the brothers in one room and you can be guaranteed to be laughing your ass off with their actions.

This is a story that will draw you in and keep you captivated until the end. The characters are quirky and a blast to have around. I had a lot of fun reading this and can’t wait for the next story.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

I haven’t had a chance to read many stories by this author but I was impressed with the worlds she creates. I am afraid that I started reading this one without reading the others first, so I was a bit behind on who the characters were. Which is why I would strongly suggest reading these in sequential order. Now for me I am afraid that I didn’t enjoy this story as much as I should have. The characters were a hit for me; I loved Gray and Enzo quite a bit. However there was just something to the way it was told that didn’t do it for me.

Enzo is a very wealthy man who comes from a family that is full of love and wonder. However when it comes to men, he isn’t sure if they are there for him or his money. When he started coming to Sunset, he notices Grayson right off the bat. However Mike had informed him that Gray was taken. It wasn’t until later that Enzo realizes Mike was playing him for a fool. 

Gray has had a hard life since he was in his teens. His father had left them and his mother was dying from leukemia. He spent his time working his ass off and caring for his mother. However it didn’t mean he didn’t notice Enzo right off the bat. Too bad Enzo did not seem to even notice him. He noticed many things about Mike that Enzo needed to know but he feared his reaction to the news. Thank god a few of the guys noticed the trouble also.

Grayson figured he was named perfect, someone no one would ever notice. Whereas Enzo was what everyone would want, but had no clue if it was for him or his money. Now the problem is they were both too scared to approach each other, then all of a sudden the truth comes out and they are together.

There really doesn’t seem to be that much heat in the story and the romance was a bit dry for me. The story was also not as fluid or flowing at the right pace. I have to admit that the story did not catch my attention like it should have. It jumped from one point to the next way too much. Even the crime of stealing was a bit off. There was no passion in this story which was a drag for me.

The story had great potential however for me it did a flop. You get a great set of characters in the beginning to lead you into this story, however it was not needed. It made it a bit slow for me, which was the exact opposite of what it should have. You don’t see the main guys until a few pages into the story. It seemed to focus on everyone other than our sexy men. I also got tired of hearing about Mike so many times. It felt rushed and just a bunch of stuff added in to make the book longer. If all the added nonsense was taken out and possibly shortened the story, then it would be a hit. 

Overall the story is very cute and charming, but it failed to catch my attention. It won’t stop me from reading the other stories though, just to see what they are like. However I am afraid that this story might have blown the chances of the other books being different. I guess I will just have to check them out though.

I gave this book a higher rating then I would normally because it has great potential, and I feel that the author can do better with her next story. She definitely has a gift.

Chris Sinclair fades into a grey world after losing his mother to cancer. When forced to attend a concert as a last attempt to coax him out of his shell, he discovers that life might not be as bleak as he first thought.

Dante Heron holds the audience between the tips of his fingers and the delicate bow, playing the violin as if every heart is his to command. However, something darker brews behind the façade, and Chris is determined to solve the enigma.

When Chris is offered the job of traveling around Europe with the famous violinist, he surprises himself by accepting. With no idea what awaits him, he’s thrown into a world where emotions rule and rules are bent.

They’re a perfectly dysfunctional match, but then there’s always calm at the heart of the storm.
