Blurb: Shadow Unit may have overturned the illegal arms cartel in Kuala Lumpur, but the harrowing undercover op left emotional scars on Sergeants Shawn Weller and Connor Finley. Slowly, patiently, they piece their partnership back together, closer now than ever before.

Until a new mission threatens to tear them apart.

When Connor accidentally kills a civilian, he questions his job, his abilities, his worth. A timely offer of promotion seems his only way out, even though it means transferring out of Shadow Unit and away from Shawn.

The arrival of Julian Montgomery, Shawn’s former CIA handler and lover, further strains their relationship. Julian knows all of Shawn’s secrets as well as the past Shawn has kept hidden from Connor. Now the self-serving Julian wants Shawn back–with the CIA and with him. No one will get in his way. Including Connor.

When the joint Shadow Unit/CIA mission to stop the supplier of a deadly biological weapon goes sideways, Connor is captured, tortured, and used as a human test subject. It’s a race against time to save his life. But who can Shawn trust?

And who has gone rogue?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Recovering from a previous op and now about to set out on a new one. One that brings someone from the past back full force. Shawn’s old lover and boss from the CIA, but he doesn’t trust someone so cold. Then Connor accidentally kills a child when going after his father. It leaves Connor questioning his whole existence. Now they are going after another, and with Julian in the mix things are bound to get well you can guess.

Well at least they were changing who gets hurt in this book. It is about the same characters as in book one. No imagination needed to figure out who the bad guy is and there is no surprises. This book was better with the plot, but it felt like it was just as rushed as the first one. There was absolutely no spark of life coming from the book. The cover was dull and not a bit like the two soldiers who have the past that they do. Shawn believes that Julian is bad news but then he basically drops it in away. The whole story had potential but it failed to deliver.

The story felt very off and dull. I did not connect with the characters and didn’t see any true heat. Even the sex scenes were boring to me. The writing never really changes. I hate to admit that this book was poorly done and did not a thing for me. It will be put in the never to read again column. I truly can’t say if I would recommend this book to anyone. We will see if it gets any better in the next book.

Blurb: Unemployment is stressful enough—but throw in the threat of being tossed out the space station’s airlock as a vagrant, and human Del is in desperate need of employment. No job, no place to stay, Del wants nothing more than to be back out amongst the stars, preferably as a bridge crewmember. Trouble is, his dreams are bigger than his starship experience and years, and Del finally heads to a bar to drown his frustrations.

Getting drunk might not have been the smartest thing to do—as he wakes in a strange, handsome alien’s bed, with no memory of the night before. When that strange alien calls him mate, Del thinks that maybe all his problems are over. He finally has a job. Or does he?

Quinn wants love and a family, but his duty as captain to a Xolian space cruiser leaves little time for forging relationships. When drunk and adorable human Del propositions him in a space bar, begging to be his first mate, Quinn hopes that maybe he can have both duty and love. Until the next morning, when the alcohol wears off and cultural barriers and misunderstandings set off a chain reaction of mayhem, mischief, and trouble that follows Del wherever he goes.

A relationship that began as a mistake may become something more—bound by love and desire, and all they must do now is survive the journey.

**Gay sci-fi romance featuring a sassy human, an irascible alien captain, and adventure beyond both their dreams.**

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Del wakes up next to Quinn a Xolian. He is informed that they are mates and Del freaks out as he is human and had no intentions of being mated. Guess he should not have been drinking huh.

What follows is Del fleeing in a panic, getting taken as a pet and being rescued. All while still trying to come to grips with Quinn.

I loved Del’s fiestiness and sarcasm. Quinn for his part was tough yet gentle with his mate. The punishment thing threw me a bit as I personally would have punched Quinn if he had done to me what he did to Del. But, Del understood the need for his following the rules to keep himself safe.

I thought it was a great story with plenty of adventure and antics that caused me to laugh several times as well as hold my breath awaiting the outcome. Especially the scene with with Quinn’s parents and the general. Well written and keeps the readers attention from start to finish. I hope this will be an ongoing series as I would like to read about the other crew members as well.

Blurb: Victor Docimo loved his mate more than anything, and he’s worked hard to provide Charles with the life that he deserved. He’s strived to be the Alpha that his own Father was not.

Charles spent the last twenty-six years mated to his perfect Alpha. He raised their son and managed their home. He’s tried to provide his Alpha with a family, despite the fact that he can’t have more children. After seeing Victor with another Omega, he begins to wonder if he’s enough.

Now, the two of them must face their greatest challenge yet, something that shouldn’t be possible: a broken bond.

ISBN: B07FXNV5MS

Product Link: Amazon US  | Amazon UK 

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Victor’s home life growing up was filled with hate and anger. His alpha father was down right nasty to his omega father, so much so in the end his omega father ended his life. It made Victor want to stay away from fated mating. That lasted until he found his sexy mate. And their life was a blessing and a curse.

Charles had had a problem after giving birth to Aiden, and it had made it where there would be no more babies. It made him wonder if Victor was better off with another omega. They had been together for many years and after the move they seemed to fizzle. Things needed to spark to get them back on track.

Well I am glad to see Aiden’s parents once more and in their own story. There were some issues I had with the book that made it hard to actually like the story. It felt rushed for one and the way the characters were with each other just seemed to drive me nuts. In the beginning we go Victor’s upsetting past, then it didn’t go anywhere else. They have a grown son and a grandbaby to spoil, but their own lives are on hold. Charles blamed it on the fact he couldn’t give his alpha anymore babies. They lost their connection to each other and their bond broke.

In true mated stories it is unheard of but it is exactly that their bond broke. This is one of those paranormal stories where they don’t shift but are considered alpha’s and omega’s. They meet and the omega’s pop out babies. The author told a story that is so like many others but added in a bit of flare to where their bond can disolve if not tended to. This book didn’t give me anything I couldn’t have gotten from any other story. It did not pop out or stand out to me which was disappointing. The story had great potential but didn’t truly deliver.

I didn’t connect with this story or its characters like I should have. I was quite disappointed in the telling of this story and wished for more action, suspense and a bit of danger added in. For now I can say that this story just didn’t do it for me.

These series are connected together and tell harrowing tales of survival and determination to live in piece while protecting those that are vulnerable.

Fantastic read and highly recommended.

Blurb: Rusty Peruke works as a mechanic and is close with his family. His wheelchair bound brother, Korvyn, lives with him, and he sends extra cash home to his parents on a regular basis.

When he meets Acheron while the man is at the shop buying a set of fast wheels, Rusty is both excited and concerned—and it’s not because he’s never been with a guy. Acheron is a loner scorpion shifter who hasn’t stayed in one place since he left his family home over eight decades before. Rusty has no intention of running out on his family. To him, their needs come first. Can two polar opposites find enough common ground to build a future? Or will assumptions and miscommunications create a wall between them that’s impossible to scale?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in A Paranormal’s Love 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.

Rusty has been taking care of his family for some time now. His mother and older brother had been in an accident that left his brother in a wheelchair. He was a serval cat shifter and is cute as can be. He is also shy and well you can guess. He had not expected to meet his mate though.

Acheron is a very dominated scorpian shifter but you could not tell it if you saw him in his human form. He had been abducted and was sold off, but Kontra’s gang saved him and several others. Want to get the juicy details though, your going to have to read the book.

Danger, excitement, adventure, action and some hot sexy times are what you get with this story. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. Now I will admit that this one was not one of my favorites, came off a bit dry to me. Other than that it was pretty good.

I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Oliver and Samuel’s relationship is fairy-tale perfect. They share a gorgeous house in Antwerp, go out with their friends every weekend, and count down the days to their dream wedding. But their happy ending is shattered one late night, and just like that, Ollie is left bereft and alone.

The months that follow are long and dark, but slowly Ollie emerges from his grief. He even braves the waters of online dating, though deep down he doesn’t believe he can find that connection again. He doesn’t think to look for love right in front of him: his bisexual friend Thomas, the gentle giant with a kind heart and sad eyes who’s wanted him all along.

When Thomas suddenly discovers he has a son who needs him, he’s ill prepared. Ollie opens up his house—Sam’s house—and lets them in. Ollie doesn’t know what scares him more: the responsibility of caring for a baby, or the way Thomas is steadily winning his heart. It will take all the courage he has to discover whether or not fairy tales can happen for real.

Safe Place

(Rainbow Place 02)
by

Jay Northcote

Where do you go when your home is no longer a safe place?

Alex is about to turn eighteen and is firmly in the closet. He’s been biding his time, waiting to escape to uni, and finally come out away from the oppressive influence of his homophobic father. When he flunks his exams, he’s stuck in the small town of Porthladock—and what’s worse is that he’s working for his dad. The only thing that makes it bearable is Cam.

Cam’s comfortable with his bisexuality, but he doesn’t broadcast it. Young, free, and single, his social life revolves around playing rugby and hanging out with his mates. He’s attracted to Alex, but with the six-year age gap, Cam’s wary of getting involved. Plus, he thinks Alex needs a friend more than he needs a lover, and as their friendship grows, Cam decides he’s not willing to risk ruining it for casual sex.

When Alex’s dad finds out about his sexuality, Alex is suddenly both jobless and homeless. He finds work at Rainbow Place, the local LGBT-friendly café and Cam lets Alex stay in his flat for a while. But Alex would rather be sleeping in Cam’s bed than on his sofa. With them both living under one roof, their feelings for each other grow stronger, and the sexual tension is hard to ignore. Will giving in to it ruin their friendship and complicate things for Alex even more?

Although this book is part of a linked series, it has a satisfying happy ending, and can be enjoyed as a standalone.

So when the new Director of Marketing, Ryan Cole, starts shaking up Daniel’s routine, Daniel doesn’t know how to react. He finds Ryan intriguing, infuriating and oh so attractive, but he doesn’t mix business with pleasure. As their games start to grow kinkier, dare Daniel give in to his desire to let Ryan top him?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Daniel has a schedule that he keeps and is very religious about it. However it would seem the new guy at work is wanting to change his mind, with donuts at first. Ryan wants to shake Daniel up and bring him over to the dark side.

This story was so slow that I ended up skimming most of it which is bad since it is a short story. I couldn’t even focus on the book because I was so bored. This book is a prelude of what is to come in the next book. It is well written but didn’t catch my attention like it should. It does give you quite abit for being such a short story which was surprising.

I hate to admit that this is not a book for me but will see what book two looks like. Not a fan of the third person dialog and definitely not a fan of books where the same characters are always the main characters. They always seem to loose something in the end.

Blurb: A healer and a warrior fight to survive the winter . . . and each other.

Grif is tired of life as a mercenary—tired of life, period. So he heads off into the mountains, not much caring whether he lives or dies. But when his indifference leaves him unconscious in a snowbank, a stranger finds him and insists on dragging him back from death.

Kiernan doesn’t really have time to nurse a stranger back to health; he’s on an important mission. He doesn’t know why the message he’s carrying is significant, but he’s determined to deliver it, even if it means risking his life in the winter mountains. Still, he can’t just walk away from a fellow traveler in need.

Grif didn’t want to be saved, and he sure as hell doesn’t want to be stuck with an annoying, naïve do-gooder. But since when do the mountains give men what they want? The snow is too deep to travel. Food is scarce. Grif and Kiernan learn to depend on each other, and eventually to care about each other. Neither of them wanted it to happen. But sometimes the mountains don’t give men what they want; sometimes, the mountains give men what they need.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: A romance mostly story about Grif and Kiernan doing what they must to survive the harsh weather they find themselves in. I thought Grif’s reason for being out in said weather to be a little irritating. He puts himself and Kiernan in danger because he gives up.

Kiernan rescues him and nurses him back to health. Meanwhile the two are drawn together and start a relationship. Two men are trapped in the middle of a storm fighting to stay alive against all odds. I liked the struggle and the passion between these two as the story progressed.

It was an o.k. read.

Blurb: Everett Surlin longed for the day that his Fated mate finally recognized him. It’d been eight years since he’d first met Matt Jenkins, he’d never imagined it take this long for his mate to realize their connection.

Matt Jenkins had done his best to put his past behind him. The abuse he’d endured as a child stayed locked away inside him, never to be shared with anyone. He’d assumed that as a result of his upbringing, he was broken and he would never have a mate. That didn’t stop him from desiring Everett and wishing that they could be together.

When tragedy strikes, Matt stays at Everett’s side, which just might be the push he needs to discover what had been there all along and a future he never dreamed would be possible.

ISBN: B07DZB2PXK

Product Link: Amazon US  | Amazon UK 

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Everett found his mate eight years ago, but since Matt was a teenager he just kept his distance. Which was pretty hard to do since Matt was around quite a bit growing up. I would imagine Everett’s pain in that time. When Matt needs to come stay on the ranch, well you can imagine the cold showers going on.

Matt has been holding on to a deep and dark secret in his past. One that had almost killed him, but thanks to friends he had been given a new life. However the past always comes back to bite you in the ass sometimes. Then the moment Matt realizes Everett is his mate and well you can guess what is going to hapen. Say goodbye to cold showers.

The buildup in the terror of his past was built up and then no explosion. It was kind of a let down in the end. The heat does level up once Matt does find out about his mate so that was a nice surprise. The story was a bit better than the first one, but I still didn’t like how the book just seem to dwindle down to a passive type of story. The one danger, action and suspense was nothing much more than a little pop when nothing happened.

I will admit that this series has not turned out the way I had hoped. There is more heat and sexual tension in this story but even that was tampered down. I hate to admit that this is one of those stories that are a bit of a drag and not really memorable. Other than my issues with it, it is still a nice read for when you need a break.

Blurb: They’re baaacckk!

When a simple ‘find & fetch’ case throws private investigator Twig Starfig and newly-minted wizard, Quinn Broomsparkle, into the middle of an EBI murder investigation, it’s just another day in the Elder Realm.

If murder were Twig’s only problem, he’d be the luckiest half-dragon in the land. Murder he can handle. Fulfilling his promise to his scheming, power-hungry father to run for a seat on Lighthelm’s city council? Meh, he’d rather face a demon with a toothache.

On top of their case going sideways, and Twig running for a council seat he really doesn’t want, Twig and Quinn are forced to face some unpleasant realities about their budding romance, while still learning how to handle the wizard-familiar bond they now share. Throw in a red fury with abysmal taste in boyfriends, a ghost pirate-parrot who drinks too much, a murderer who will stop at nothing to get what they want, a host of new friends and enemies, and you’ve got a situation where no one is safe and everyone is Fairy Game.

*This book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone.

ISBN: B07FYYVLC7

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: The gang is back in this sequel to solve new cases. Quinn, Twig and Bill are close. Bill considers them family. Pie is still searching for a way to find his former pirate captain. There are several new characters added and several deaths that are thrown into the investigation. Not to mention Twig’s dad is getting assassination attempts made on his life.

To put it mildly there is a lot going on in this book. Twig is still having a problem with Quinn’s ability to control him which he does not like. Quinn for his part understands that Twig wants to mate but he hesitant to do so. My mind was spinning as this story payed out. There were twists and turns galore. Magic, darkness and danger seemed in abundance throughout.

It was roller coaster ride for sure as Twig and Quinn threw themselves into solving cases as well as struggling with their own issues with each other. A great cast of characters added depth and mystery and a sense of suspense as the cases played out and clues gathered.

Great addition to the series.

Partners in the field and out, they had been through hell together for the last four years and made it through standing side by side. But when their latest undercover op to bring down an arms dealer plunges them into a world of drugs, sex and violence, Shawn must literally get in bed with the enemy in order to complete the mission.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Connor and Shawn were not only teammates but lovers. They were part of an anti-terrorism task force sent in to for the worst. It took them into dangerous situations and could cost them their lives. Although they have not done what is about to be done. Shawn was going to have to get real close and personal with the target.

Even though Shawn gave his conscent for the sex between him and Jae, to me it was still rape. I started reading this before I remembered I have read it once before and ditched the book. It has drug use, which we knew about from the warning on the blurb, so it might be trigger to some. The story did have potential but the way the author took it made the book bottom out for me. It was more drug and sex, then actual story. It felt like you were being dropped into the team without warning. It actually felt like the actual story was just a back drop to what was really going on.

The first thing I noticed was the cover, it doesn’t match the guys at all, so that was a bad sign. Now a drug, arms dealer who deals with death would not take some guy off the streets to back him up, so that was another sign. This book was definitely lacking in background and major information that would lead up into the actual story. Then there is the big boss who is just going to let his man go in there and get high as a kite to get the bad guy, that is a big NO. There was definitely no research done into black ops or at least something believeable. I couldn’t even get a good read on the actual case.

Overall this book is going into my never to read again folder. It was lacking so much to make it a good story. The characters needed a bit more edge to even make them real to me. It did show a true drug addict’s reaction though so I will give that part props. This story felt rushed and not well thought out. I hate to admit that this book was definitely not my kind of book.
