(Anima 02)

Ana Raine
Liberation from one master might mean enslavement to another.
For centuries, the Kuro swan shifters have been the unwilling servants of the Dryma faeries. That changed when Prince Tristan of the Dryma attempted to sacrifice himself for Royal Kuro Kanji—his lover and mate.
The Sidhee, seeing Tristan’s actions to free the swans as a betrayal, launch a devastating attack that leaves most of the Kuro and Dryma dead or imprisoned. The fate of the swans rests entirely on Kanji’s shoulders, and he must somehow devise a plan that will protect both his partner and his tribe as the war with the Sidhee rages. It won’t be easy for mortal enemies to become allies, and Kanji is beginning to despair of ever waking Tristan from his deathlike slumber. And neither the Kuro nor the Dryma can compete with the Sidhee when it comes to brutal violence.
When Kanji finds a small boy asleep at the bottom of a lake, his hope for reuniting with Tristan is rekindled. But what is the boy, and can his magic turn the tide against a seemingly unstoppable enemy?

Unforgivable
(Accidental Roots 06)
by
Elle Keaton
No one ever said it would be easy.
Running away from his messy divorce did not bring Ira Fragale the peace he sought. If he is going to get his life together he needs to pull up his big boy pants and take care of business. He’s been hiding out licking his wounds in Skagit for two years now, keeping his head down (except for the trail of twinks he’s left behind). Something’s going to give.
Cameron McCulloch needs to knock Ira off the pedestal he’s placed him on. Because he’s older doesn’t mean Ira has any clearer idea about life and the universe than Cam. Cam needs to focus on his own needs and forget about Ira, but he can’t. Bartending at the Loft is easy and he likes the community he’s fallen into since his family rejected him, but if he wants more out of life he’s going to have to go out and get it himself.
Ira didn’t choose Skagit at random, he came to the small city because events twenty years ago set him on his path on today. The mystery of his father’s murder may never be solved but Ira would like to lay his spirit to rest.
None of this explains the upswing of possible hate crime in Skagit. The small town has its share of trouble but someone, or someones, are on the prowl, harassing the LGBTQ community, and Cameron is in their crosshairs.
Warnings: Unforgivable has an assault (physical and short) scene, harassment, one character especially has to deal with a homophobic stalker.

A Little Side of Geek
(Geek Life 01)

Marguerite Labbe
When opposite worlds collide, it’s anyone’s game.
Proud geek and comic book artist Morris Proctor wants nothing more than to live in semiseclusion with his devil cat and gamer friends. Despite what his well-meaning family thinks, he’s perfectly content with his status quo. The last thing he needs is to date another nongeek hell-bent on changing him.
Then he meets his adorkable new neighbor, Theo Boarman, who doesn’t know Star Trek from Star Wars, but who tempts him like no other.
Theo has spent the last year recovering from the loss of his parents and trying to play both roles for his teenage brother, while working to keep the family restaurant afloat. Dating is the last thing on the menu, especially with a man who thinks the height of dining is shoving a packaged meal into the microwave.
But if Morris gives him one more shy smile or flaunts that kilt he wears so well, Theo will be forced to convince him that a hot summer fling is just the recipe to let off a little steam.
When that fling gets serious fast, Morris has to decide if he’s willing to give his heart to Theo on the chance that they’re a perfect mix.

Still waters run deadly.
Tom Paretski, plumber with a talent for finding hidden things, and his private investigator fiancé Phil Morrison have been hired to locate a runaway husband, Jonathan Parrot. The job seems simple enough—until their quarry turns up dead in a canal, and a photofit of Tom’s face is splashed all over the news, making him chief suspect.
The widow, petite ex–porn star Lilah Lovett, is convinced her husband was killed by his gay lover, but Tom and Phil aren’t so sure. Worried they may have precipitated Jonathan’s death, they’re determined to find the real killer. But with a web of incestuous ties linking the suspects, it’s hard to know who to trust. Especially when a second victim dies a gruesome death.
Meanwhile, with their wedding looming and them sharing a house now, Tom’s worried it may all be too much, too fast. The last thing he needs are the mixed messages Phil seems to be sending out. They’ll need to get back on the same track if they want to make it to their honeymoon together—and alive.

The magic touch.
Ever since Harlan Edgewood was bitten by a possessed werewolf, his monthly shifts have been agonizing. When he meets Whimsy Hickes—a mage who specializes in transformation—the attraction is mutual. But Harlan believes his curse is too great a burden to inflict on any romantic partner.
Fortunately, Whimsy thinks he can help.
When Harlan is provoked into an unexpected change, Whimsy uses his magic to help ease Harlan’s pain, but with an unexpected consequence. While he’s shifted, Harlan’s wolf claims Whimsy as his mate.
As they draw closer, suspicious events in the Asheville magical community escalate. Shifters are disappearing, others are murdered, and Harlan’s curse makes him an obvious target. It will take all of Whimsy’s magic to force back the rising evil—and if he fails, Harlan will lose not only his life, but his very soul.

Diego’s Secret
by
Bryan T. Clark
Can love conquer our deepest secrets and fears?
Are the challenges worth the struggle?
Eight years ago, at the age of seventeen, Diego Castillo came to the United States illegally from Mexico. Working long hours in the family landscaping business, he now shares a tiny apartment with his two machismo brothers in Southern California. Diego has worked hard to keep his desires for other men a secret from his brothers. He’s worked just as hard to keep his undocumented status a secret from the world he now lives in.
Thirty-two-year-old Winston Makena is beautiful, intelligent, and intimidating. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but no amount of money can relieve the enormous grief he is suffering from his husband’s sudden death. He is one of Diego’s best accounts and lives a life in stark contrast to his gardener’s. Winston’s wealthy upbringing has influenced his ideas, leading him to certain biases.
Winston believes he could never love again. Diego believes that his family’s lives depend on him keeping his secrets. What neither of them know is that the heart knows no such boundaries. Will social divisions, ideology, and secrets destroy both their chances for happiness?
Blurb: Gabriel Pantarius had a problem, and he’s pretty sure if he didn’t find a solution, he’ll lose his mind. When he finds an old man at a bookstore who seems to have the answers he seeks, Gabriel is astounded to discover that the paranormal world is alive and well, and he’s a card carrying member. Hoping to find more answers, and the brothers he never knew he had, Gabriel starts searching. What he finds is more than he ever could have dreamed of. One of his brother owns a motorcycle shop with a man claiming to be his mate.
Chayton Garon is excited to find his mate, but shocked to learn Gabriel knows nothing about being a shifter. He doesn’t even know anything about mates. Refusing to give Gabriel up, Chayton tries to stand by his mate’s side and support him as he searches for his long lost brothers.
The threat that separated Gabriel from his brothers is looming closer every single day. If he doesn’t find them soon, the homeland where they were born could be lost forever.
Review: Gabe has a bit of a problem and he is about to loose his mind. He has been itching like crazy, craving raw meat and needs help. Too bad no one can help him, so he goes to the one place that might have the answers, a book store. He just gets lucky that the bookstore owner is waiting for him. To his shock he has four brothers that had been born four minutes from each other, but separated at birth to keep them safe. Someone wanted them dead. In search of his first brother, he finds his mate. A mate he had not known he was fated to.
Chayton was a falcon shifter who just so happened to work with Gabe’s brother Dom. He was happy as hell but also scared when dangers start coming for them. More important was that he will do everything in his power to protect the man he is starting to love.
This was a damn good start to a new series. Stormy has always been a favorite author of mine, so when I saw that she was starting a brand new series, I had to jump at it. She has given us a world that is parallel to Earth with evil trying to kill the whole royal family. A royal family of four brothers. Shifters, magic, danger, excitement and sexy men are just a bit of what you get in this book. The only problem I had with it, was I wanted more than just a taste.
I had a lot of fun reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. This is one of those books that will be read over and over.
Blurb: There isn’t a monster D’Angelo Kumar can’t destroy or a crisis he can’t manage until he meets Angel Bai. The insane attraction he feels toward the sexy waiter is unwelcome because D’Angelo doesn’t have room in his life for relationships. A solitary path is the only option for a man like him, but fighting his growing feelings for Angel may be the first battle he can’t win.
Angel’s abilities extend beyond memorizing the menu at D’Angelo’s favorite Italian restaurant, but he knows better than to trust anyone with his secret. When a vision reveals that D’Angelo’s life is in danger, he will risk everything to save him. The only thing scarier than monsters and demons to Angel is never knowing D’Angelo’s touch.
To say the demon hunter is reluctant to form a partnership with the psychic is putting it mildly, but D’Angelo needs every advantage he can get when the world’s very existence is threatened. As darkness looms nearer, D’Angelo and Angel’s unexplainable connection grows stronger. For a chance at happiness, the two men will need to call upon unlikely allies for an epic showdown between good and evil.
Sexy, witty, and action-packed, Circle of Darkness is the first book in the Genesis Circle paranormal romance series by Nicholas Bella and Aimee Nicole Walker. This book contains sexually explicit material and is intended for adults 18 and older.
Review: I have not read a book by either author but have heard a lot of good things about their books. When I saw this book I asked to review it.
D’Angelo is a badass hunter. He was brash and arrogant. He knew he was sexy and intimidating and it showed. Angel, Ansel as D’Angelo likes to call him, seemed a little too in awe at times.
While I liked the idea of the story about how two men from an institute that specialises in training hunters to hunt down evil beings and these two men leaving and starting their own business due to the institute wanting them to procreate with women when they are gay I did not care for being told constantly about said institute and rules. Believe me I understood the first two times. As a result of this I was continuously pulled out of the story.
I am hoping because this was the beginning of a series that in future books the repetition of different aspects will no longer be an issue. I was also hoping for more actual action scenes seeing as how they are a group of hunters.
Blurb: Sometimes we have to face our past even if it’s the last thing we want to do.
Cumar has been living in the human world for the past eight years, and he has no intention of changing that. He has a job he likes, friends, and he’s in love with Yo’ash, the bouncer of the only club for demons in Chicago. That love might be unrequited, but it’s better than anything he’d have had in Hell, where he grew up.
Yo’ash likes his life predictable and boring, and Cumar is anything but that. They share a past, but Cumar has never seemed to recognize Yo’ash, and Yo’ash is glad for it. It’s a part of his life he’d rather not think about, and it’s one of the reasons he keeps Cumar at arm’s length, the other one being that Cumar doesn’t seem to be able to commit to one person.
When someone comes after Cumar, exposing who he is and his past and forcing him to go back to Hell, Yo’ash has to make a decision. Will the trouble Cumar is facing be enough for him to step away once and for all, or will they both realize that together they are stronger than apart?
Review:Each book in the Demon Hearts collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
I came across this author when her first book in the Whitedell Pride series came out and from that point on I knew that she would become a favorite. The worlds she creates are unique and keep my attention from the moment I start reading. The characters are sexy, fierce, tempting and will fight for what they believe is right. The stories are fascinating and give the reader everything they could ask for in a story. Heat, danger, excitement and a bit of adventure are just a few things you get in these stories.
Cumar’s father is one of the Prince’s of Hell and you can guess just how evil the man can be. Cumar never wanted anything to do with it, so at seventeen he took off for the human world. He worked for the League, a group that policed the demons and other paranormals. He actually liked his job and those around him. However with his older brothers death, it meant he was next in line. To bad he didn’t want the job.
Yo’ash used to be a bodyguard in hell for ten years and hated it. He hated the whole thing about hell. He pretty much likes the way life is and doesn’t want to change it. He likes to keep his life the way it is, and the only thing he wanted was someone permanent in his life. Cumar was the one he wanted but the man never settled down. But when demon’s are sent for Cumar, Yo’ash is the first one in line to protect him. Now if only he would get his head out of his ass and go for the man who has loved him for a very long time.
I think this is probably one of my favorite books in this series but then again I always think that with each book. I just got a kick out of Cumar. The man might be a fighter and a demon but damn he is just about as sexy as you get. I had a lot of fun reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.
This is one of those books you will read more than once, I know I will.
Blurb: More than ten years ago, a series of train bombings devastated railways throughout Europe. Strange poetry sent to local newspapers right before each bombing, confounded investigators at the time. In one of only a handful of failed covert missions, Jarrett had been sent into North Korea to take out the bomber. Now, as his wedding to Thayne approaches, an explosion in Southern California, threatens to ruin their plans for a very special day.
Sucked back into a new case when they’re supposed to be on vacation, neither Jarrett nor Thayne are very happy. When the bomber strikes too close to home, they know they have no choice… especially when the threat seems to be specifically directed at one them.
While recovering from recent trauma and torture, Thayne has put his heart into crafting the single most beautiful event he can imagine for his husband-to-be. When plans for their special Christmas wedding begin to blow up, he is distraught. A sadistic killer with special skills, a strange vocabulary, and a twisted thirst for revenge, is bent on destroying everything.
Join Thayne, Jarrett, and all their friends as they rush to stop the fiend and reclaim their Christmas wedding before one more person dies.
Review: Another great addition to the Death and Destruction series packed full of drama, action and a sadistic killer bent on revenge. Thayne and Jarrett are making plans for their wedding when a case comes in drawing them away. With Thayne still recovering for his ordeal he wants a resolution to the case.
I really like this series and Jarrett and Thayne as well as their friends are always ready for danger even though things do not always go as planned. The mystery of the case was well written and the reader is along for the ride as the guys investigate and gather clues.
These stories deliver a punch with their intense situations while at the same the happy moments between friends and lovers.

Blurb: Survival is Daryl Rush’s number one priority. On the hunted list of a powerful organization, Daryl and his brother spent their entire lives hiding, until a werewolf pack takes them in. The last thing Daryl needs is romance, but he can’t deny his attraction to the Alpha, Deacon Becker. Savage, lethal, and untouchable, Deacon is called the Demon Alpha for a reason. All Daryl needs is a shove in the right direction, but will he be able to tame the demon and come out unscathed?
After seeing his entire pack decimated, Deacon became Alpha at a young age. He built his pack from the ground up and would tear down any threat that comes near his home. Mates are a weakness, but the more he denies his wolf, the more his need intensifies. And Deacon wants Daryl for his mate, but will mating a human psychic come at a high price?
Review:Each book in the Devil Hills Wolves collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
Daryl and his older brother had escaped the human’s who wanted to get their hands on him. He was what they call an Esper, someone with some psychic powers. He had killed their abusive father when they were younger, and just tried to stay safe. That is until his brothers chief started asking questions, then they decided to run to the one place that might be able to keep them. Now he was just trying to figure out his feelings for the sexy, powerful and cranky alpha.
Deacon and his best friends took up protecting other paranormal’s after most of their pack had been killed. Twelve years old and seeing the death of his parents and most of his pack, had made him a bit cold and hardened. He hated humans but slowly, very slowly he is starting to see that not all human’s are bad. He is just trying to figure out what to do with his feelings for Daryl.
This series has a dark tone to it and even though it does work for this story, it also makes the story a bit off. It felt like the story had been quite rushed by the author that it didn’t flow like it should have. I loved Daryl, but the alpha was a bit hard to connect with. You can understand why he is the way he is, but still he just comes off wrong. Other than those issues I had with it, the story is quite interesting and fun to read.
It has a unique and fresh way of taking the story in the direction it is going. It has great potential to be a top story with a little more time goes into it. I did enjoy reading it and can say that this will be read more than once.
Blurb: Kai Axelsson is on the most dangerous mission of his life.
A timely twist of fate. A clever deception. And suddenly he’s found himself a place among the staff at Sandheim Palace, entrenched among the people bound to serve a despotic queen. Kai’s only job is to feed the propaganda machine while staying out of sight–yet when he catches the attention of the queen’s brother, what began as an information gathering mission becomes a battle for Kai’s very soul.
Powerful. Magnetic. Immortal. With a breath of frost and a sliver of glass, the crown prince Alexander weaves his spell around Kai, intent to claim him forever and draw him into the darkness of their world. Yet where Alexander’s heart is made of ice…it’s the fire in Johann’s that could be the key to bringing Kai home.
Johann never wanted to let Kai go on this mission. And now a fatal misstep could mean losing the only man he’s ever loved. Only Johann can break the spell entangling Kai’s heart in thorns of darkest glass.
Before the dark prince’s corruption claims him completely, and Kai is lost forever.
Review: Kai is on a dangerous mission when things begin to turn for the worse. Alexander, the prince, tries to ensnare Kai and turn him to his way of thinking. Johann on the other hand has no intentions of letting Alexander take the man he loves.
I liked this story of good versus evil. It has the elements to keep the readers attention to the story and some hot action. Kai and Johann have a few mishaps but only love can turn the tide. I liked Johann even at times I was unsure of him.
It was an interesting story that draws you into in a world of magic and mayhem with a dash of romance.
Blurb: Just a little Love Bite: When a vampire chef meets his soul mate, he must discover if the way to a man’s heart really is through his stomach.
Patrick Brown knows he’s a little odd for a vampire, enjoying cooking and dancing. It works for him, though, since he’s his vampire coven’s chef, and he loves spending hours doing both as he shimmies around his kitchen. On a routine food run he stops a robbery at his local grocer’s. To Patrick’s surprise, the blood of one of the officers calls to him like nothing ever has. He realizes the human policeman is his beloved, his soul mate. While Patrick easily scents the human’s arousal, betraying his interest, Officer Allen Robinson barely gives him the time of day. Undeterred, Patrick begins a quest to learn everything about the human, and with the help of friends, he sees him again…and again. Can Patrick figure out a way to woo his closeted cop, or will fears and prejudice destroy their chance at a future?
Review:Each book in A Loving Nip collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This story is a branch off of Wolves of Stone Ridge, so I would start with that series first. There are several series that are connected to this series as well.
I came across this author when her first book in the Wolves of Stone Ridge series came out and from that point on I knew that she would become a favorite. The worlds she creates are unique and keep my attention from the moment I start reading. The characters are sexy, fierce, tempting and will fight for what they believe is right. The stories are fascinating and give the reader everything they could ask for in a story.
Allen has always loved being a police officer and never wanted to give it up. However he has been hiding one big secret that doesn’t work to well around other officers. He had been doing a good job at hiding it, that is until he meets Patrick at a crime scene.
Patrick was a sexy as vampire that could cook and dance like a god. He loved preparing meals for his friends and family. He was just missing one thing, and that was his beloved. Then when he stopped a robbery at the store, he met the one fated for him. To bad his beloved was in the closet.
I have always loved Charlie’s books and this was just another amazing story. It gave me everything I could want in a story and so much more. I had a lot of fun reading it and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. This is one of those stories that will be read more than once.

Reesa Herberth and Michelle Moore
Ethan Domani had planned the perfect graduation trip before tragedy put his life on hold. Smothered by survivor’s guilt and his close-knit family, he makes a break for the open road. He doesn’t know what he’s looking for, but he’s got the whole summer to figure out who he misses more: his boyfriend, or the person he thought he was. It’s just him and his memories . . . until he almost runs over a hitchhiker.

His eighteenth birthday brings escape, and a close call with an idiot in a station wagon. Stranger danger aside, Nick’s homeless, broke, and alone. A ride with Ethan is the best option he’s got.

On The Ice
(A Stick Side 01)
by
Amy Aislin
For college sophomore Mitch Greyson, determination and persistence are the name of the game if he wants to make it as a professional hockey player. A busy schedule of practices, games, classes, homework, two part-time jobs—and now, working with a tutor to help him pass the class he’s failing so that he can keep his scholarship—shouldn’t leave him with enough time to flirt with the NHL player in town. But that doesn’t stop him.
Placed on the injured reserve list until his broken arm heals, NHL defenseman Alex Dean is using the time off to be with his ailing grandfather and get a head start on the book he’s been commissioned to write. He doesn’t expect to get roped into a tutoring gig, especially not for cocky, smart-ass Mitch.
But Alex soon discovers that there’s more to Mitch than meets the eye…and he really likes what he sees. Only Alex doesn’t dare risk his NHL career by coming out, and a relationship between them would jeopardize Mitch’s chances with the organization too.
It looks impossible. Then again, the best things usually do…
On the Ice is an m/m contemporary romance featuring a flirty college hockey player who meets his match in a demisexual NHL player.
Blurb: Fagin Mars, alpha-heir of his father’s pack, had two possible life paths. On the one hand, he could do what his father demanded; mate with a female wolf shifter and take over the pack or…something else entirely. Fagin was opting for option two. After a terse exchange with his father, Fagin gets permission to go on a road trip for thirty days. He wants to find his true mate. It shouldn’t be that hard, should it?
Cooper Samuels stayed well away from wolf packs. As an omega, he knew the terrors he’d have to face if he ever got caught in pack territory. Which is why he worked for a human accounting services firm and never told anyone about the furry side of his nature. That was, until he went to meet a prospective new client as a biker bar called Fagin’s Folly. He should’ve known his life was going to change the moment someone barrelled into him and knocked him over.
But just because the Fates stepped in and put these two men on the same path, didn’t mean the journey was going to be easy. Things aren’t all as they seem in Fagin’s home pack and things turn nasty after a night on the town. Kidnappings, challenges and the archaic notions many shifters believed about omega wolves was enough for Fagin to consider handcuffs and not the kinky kind. Will Fagin have to give up his mate so soon after finding him, just to ensure his mate’s safety?
Review: Each book in the Alpha and Omega collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. However with this story you can actually read it as a standalone, and I do hope that this fantastic author writes more because I want to read about Buster and Wayne.
Fagin was to be the next alpha according to his father. The problem was the one rule in the pack drove him nuts, he had to mate a female and produce pups. Fagin could get it up for a female, but he was gay. He knew that he was to be fated to a man, he just had not expected to find him before he even left town on the search.
Cooper was a male omega wolf and he hated it. He was abused by others both mentally and sexually, so he tried to stay away from the packs around him. He was one of the best accountants and was getting ready to do a job, but fear overwhelmed him when he came across a big alpha wolf. An alpha wolf that just happened to be his mate.
Now these guys have got it going on, but there is the problem of one pissy female wolf that wouldn’t leave Fagin alone, and a father that just kept egging it on. Starting a new pack was in the works, but then his father pulled his latest stunt, if you want to know more your going to have to read it. And what a read it will be.
I have always been fascinated by this author’s work. Her imagination is a wonder and I look forward to each and every book. The worlds she creates are fascinating and somewhat hot. My only real issue with this book was the first chapter. The sex with Missy was not what I wanted to start a book with. However it did work out perfectly with the story. It led in perfectly to it. The characters are strong and powerful, but Fagin’s heart was what made him even stronger.
My attention had been caught from the start, or after the female sex part and kept all the way to the end. It had given me everything I could ask for in a story and so much more. The sex was pretty hot and steamy. I got a kick out of Buster as well.
This story was a blast to read and I can guarantee that it will be read more than once. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.
