Bob is a vampire and turns up on Sam’s doorstep to rent a room. Sparks fly and Sam is attracted to the vampire despite himself.

Six cases, and a box full of secrets, with dragons, vampires, witches, ghosts, werewolves, demons, angels, santas, and a talking gargoyle… to name but a few.

Dragons, vampires, werewolves, fae, witches and one very confused human.

* * * *

Sam, 100% human (no, really) inherits a crumbling building and a private detective agency from his Uncle.

Bob, a brooding stubborn and ancient vampire turns up at his door and refuses to leave.

Before Sam can say ‘I only want human cases’ he’s knee deep in werewolves, dragons, vampires and witches.

The Case of The Cupid Curse

Sam Enderson is a human detective who inherits a building from where his Uncle used to run a detective agency. He finds himself working for paranormal creatures despite his resolve to stick with humans only. To supplement his income as a new PI Sam rents out rooms in the large house.

Bob is a vampire and turns up on Sam’s doorstep to rent a room. Sparks fly and Sam is attracted to the vampire despite himself.

Sam is cursed by a witch, and has two cases landing on his desk. Werewolves, annoying ghosts and a grumpy gargoyle are enough to drive Sam mad. But somehow in amongst all of this he has to find a missing fae and a missing shifter child.

The Case of the Wicked Wolf

Naiads, humans, sirens and a challenge for Alpha make up the intricate story in the race to rescue the missing children.

Sam and Bob have more than just the case of one lost child to handle. Not only is Shelby Hartman missing, but other paranormal children have disappeared. The race to rescue the children is hampered by naiads, humans, sirens and a challenge for Alpha.

Hartman Hunter is desperate to find his daughter. He turns to the demon Danjal Naamah for help. The problem is that Danjal is the only person Hartman has ever loved—the man he let go for the sake of the pack…

NB: Previously released as two separate books.

Blurb: Homeland Security investigators Felix Jbarra and Pope Dades are about to work their first big case as partners. Someone is creating counterfeit government documents and selling them through a site similar to the old Silk Road which was shut down years ago. As they dive into the case with the help of their friends at the FBI and LAPD, Felix and Pope realize the Dark Web site is selling more than documents. It’s selling death.

When a man connected with the website turns up murdered, it’s all hands on deck and with so many letter agencies involved in this case, coordinating all parties is bound to be a challenge. When yet another agency unexpectedly gets involved, their bosses would find it laughable if it wasn’t so damned dangerous.

Felix and Pope are getting used to being partners but they are well-trained professionals who must learn to trust each other at work as well as at home. When a bomb almost kills them, they have no choice but to shorten that learning curve. From the mean streets of Hollywood to unfamiliar places on the Dark Net, our heroes put themselves in danger every moment, trying their best to protect innocents while keeping each other alive.

Review: Felix and Pope are back in this exciting sequel as they with the help of other agencies and friends try and track down the owner of Brokendoor dot com, an online buy site where you can buy anything. The most prominent is counterfeit documents that look real and pass inspections of us customs and law enforcement.

I really liked how well the different agencies worked together. It was nice seeing characters from different series all working together toward a common goal. This series keeps getting better and better with each new book.

Length: Novella (99pgs)

Heat Level: Low

Heart Rating: 💖💖💖💖💖 5 Hearts

Blurb: Jeremy Myde is a shifter and FPA agent. When a new blood serum, with the ability to change humans into vampires, is discovered, Jeremy helps the team investigate. During the course of the investigation, Jeremy faces several obstacles. The most challenging of which is his mate.

Although Jeremy is desperate to mark and claim Roman, he keeps the young man at arm’s length afraid to make the final step.

Roman Ulanski has been living with Jeremy since he was rescued by the FPA. After recovering from the physical and emotional abuse he endured at the hands of a rogue shifter, Roman is finally ready to move on with his life. He wants to leave the past where it belongs: in the past. The only problem is that his mate still treats him as though he’s fragile. To prove his strength, Roman starts training to become an FPA agent.

ISBN: 978-1-64010-807-3

Product Link: Siren-BookStrand | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Jeremy is a FPA agent and a shifter, he remembers when he found Roman and the shape he was in. Roman had been raped, beaten, and starved. The moment his friend brought him out, Jeremy knew that he had found his mate. He was just afraid to claim the man due to what had happened. He didn’t want to scare or hurt his little mate. However his lizard knew that the man was his mate, and wasn’t letting him out of his sight.

Roman remembered the time of his capture, but that did not mean he was going to let it define him. He wanted his mate to claim him, and if becoming an agent would help to prove he was strong then so be it.

The story is well rounded and fully developed. The characters are charming, fierce and damn sexy. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I got a big kick out of Jeremy’s animal side, what a cutie, for a very big lizard. This is probably one of my favorite types of series, full of action and excitement, some hot sex and add in the danger and damn if I am not eating it up.

I had a blast reading this and can not wait to get my hands on the next book. I would definitely recommend this.

Blurb: Being a high-class escort brings in a lot of money, but acting as a spy for one of his clients offers Berkeley even more—but the higher the stakes, the higher the risks.

Wherever Berkeley goes, or whatever he does, drama follows. Having recovered from the ordeal of being the victim of an internet scam, his life returns to normal working at a five-star hotel selling VIP vacation club memberships to wealthy clients, and being with the love of his life, Captain Rick. That is until he finds Rick cheating on him with a woman. Feeling sad and lonely, Berkeley is enticed by the prospects of high earnings and a jet setter lifestyle when he’s approached by one of his clients to be a high-class escort.

Whilst he revels in being treated like a prince, he has to accommodate some strange and unusual sexual requests, and before long he’s caught up in a web of espionage between a transport conglomerate and a client who is developing a futuristic technology that will change the future of transport forever. Only Berkeley knows how he’s going to weave his way out of his new-found problem.

ISBN: 978-1-4874-1016-2

Product Link: eXtasy | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: After breaking up with Rick, Berkley moves on with his live and takes a job with Peter as a high end escort. His first Client is Sebastian. Sebastian has invented a way to travel, teleportation, without the the need for loss of hours in a car or plane. I found it intriguing. The connection between these two men was hot.

Frederick is the next client Berkley meets and finds out he is working for an organization that want to stop Sebastian. I figured it was no coincidence Frederick meets Berkley when he’s asked to steal the plans for the teleportation. Frederick and Berkley have a stronger connection.

I liked this addition to the series. It felt more like a spy story at times which I enjoyed.

Great read.

ISBN: 978-1-64010-824-0

Product Link: Siren-BookStrand | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Rescue for Hire West collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. In this case I would start reading Rescue for Hire, the original start to the both series. It will introduce you to the men who are sent to save others.

Morgan has had a hard life, one that was filled with disappointment and abandonment. He had always thought that he was meant to be alone, that no one would want to keep him. He was the computer expert for the Rescue for Hire West. When one of the savings brought in a small child, he decided he wanted to adopt the child. Then even that fell through, his heart was broken in more ways then one. Then in comes Tatum.

Tatum was the one that rescued Reese when he was hurt badly in a car accident. He was also the one that recognized him and called for help. He was however getting burned out and needed a change. Rescue for Hire West might just save him also. When he meets Morgan, he knew that he has found the man for him. Now all he has to do is to prove to the man he was wanted.

Each one of these stories is a fascinating tale that have a twist to them. They are action packed and danger filled. The men are sexy as hell and have a story to tell. The worlds this author creates is entertaining and exciting and down right hot. What is the best part of this particular story is the fact that the author lets us know that there is going to be a new series coming out soon.

I enjoyed reading this and can not wait to get my hands on the next book. This is one of those types of stories that will be read many times over.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: I love reading VL Locey’s books. In fact, I actually got my hands on a couple of these novellas when they first came out, but since I’d never read the first one I never got the full background. In the last couple years I’ve been devouring Locey’s ice hockey based books, so this was a nice change of pace, although I absolutely adore many of her other books.

This collection, An Erie Collection, brings together the first three novellas of the Lake Erie Shifters series, in addition to a new story: An Erie Halloween, An Erie Operetta, An Erie Garden Party and An Erie Uprising.

In An Erie Halloween, cute little skunk shifter Templeton Reed meets wolf shifter Mikel Lupei and the couple fall in love and mate. In An Erie Operetta, Mikel wants his pack to be classy and proposes a night out at the opera. This means suit fittings and all sorts of hijinks. In An Erie Garden Party, spring may have come and melted the snow away, but a new comer to the pack means that everyone is in danger. However, the question is, why is the new comer a danger. That answer leads us to the new novella in the series, An Erie Uprising. The pack manor is now providing shelter to other LGBTQ paranormal creatures. However, not all is good in the paranormal world because their way of life is fast coming undone. Templeton and Mikel have to fight to keep their new pack together as well as somehow battle the outside forces threatening their peace and harmony.

Templeton is the heart of this series, he is sweet and funny. When it comes to having to deal with members of his and his mate’s pack it’s usually pretty damn funny. Because let’s face it, the skunk is feisty and the wolves are grumpy! At the heart of it, these are some cute stories that are a mix of sweetness and some harsh realities which are faced by the shifters of Lake Erie. Mainly, these guys have to deal with homophobia and the fact that to many shifters, same sex relationships are outlawed. When I say cute, I mean it in the fact that these novellas are full of hope and there is a happy ending for the two MCs.

Heat For Sale

(Heat for Sale 01)
by

Blake Moreno

Heat can be sold but love is earned.

In a world where omegas sell their heats for profit, Adrien is a university student in need of funding. With no family to fall back on, he reluctantly allows the university’s matcher to offer his virgin heat for auction online. Anxious, but aware this is the reality of life for all omegas, Adrien hopes whoever wins his heat will be kind.

Heath—a wealthy, older alpha—is rocked by the young man’s resemblance to his dead lover, Nathan. When Heath discovers Adrien is Nathan’s lost son from his first heat years before they met, he becomes obsessed with the idea of reclaiming a piece of Nathan.

Heath buys Adrien’s heat with only one motivation: to impregnate Adrien, claim the child, and move on. But their undeniable passion shocks him. Adrien doesn’t know what to make of the handsome, mysterious stranger he’s pledged his body to, but he’s soon swept away in the heat of the moment and surrenders to Heath entirely.

Once Adrien is pregnant, Heath secrets him away to his immense and secluded home. As the birth draws near, Heath grows to love Adrien for the man he is, not just for his connection to Nathan. Unaware of Heath’s past with his omega parent and coming to depend on him heart and soul, Adrien begins to fall as well.

But as their love blossoms, Nathan’s shadow looms. Can Heath keep his new love and the child they’ve made together once Adrien discovers his secrets?

Heat for Sale is a stand-alone m/m erotic romance by Leta Blake, writing as Blake Moreno. Infused with a du Maurier Rebecca-style secret, it features a well-realized omegaverse, an age-gap, dominance and submission, heats, knotting, and scorching hot scenes.

Brent Cameron has been dreaming about a road trip around Lake Michigan for years. When his best friend, Nathan, ditches him to spend the summer with his boyfriend, Caleb, Brent is pissed. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, he reluctantly agrees to take Caleb’s best friend, Lowell Prescott, instead.

Brent is a former hockey player and recently out of the closet. Lowell is an in-your-face gay guy who rebels against the limits people put on him. Tempers fly and sparks flare as they hit the road, which leads to a hot night they both regret in the morning. Despite the rocky start, Brent and Lowell slowly begin to realize they have a lot in common. As the miles disappear behind them so does their animosity. Casual hook-ups aren’t Brent’s thing, and Lowell doesn’t do relationships, so they agree to focus on their friendship.

By the time they make it to the shores of Lake Superior, their feelings have deepened past simple friendship, but neither of them have the guts to admit it. When the past intrudes, will it derail the trip and the possibility of a relationship?

Boy Shattered by Eli Easton

Title: Boy Shattered

Author: Eli Easton

Genre: Contemporary, Young Adult

Length: Novel (317 pages)

Publisher: Self Published (16 Oct 2016)

Heat Level: Low

Heart Rating: 💖💖💖💖💖 5 Hearts

Blurb: Brian

You’ll make it out of here, Brian. I swear.

I had everything—school quarterback, popular with girls, and my dad was proud of me. I told myself it didn’t matter no one knew the real me. And then I nearly died. Landon saved my life. He’s the bravest guy I know. He came out a few years ago, proud and fierce, and he ran into gunfire to help others. Me, I’m a mess. Can’t even stand to be in a room with the curtains open. But here’s the thing about losing it all: You get a chance to start over and be someone new. Only how can I move on when the two shooters who attacked our school were never caught? And why do I feel like I’m still in the crosshairs?

Landon

Will you kiss me?

When I came across Brian Marshall,the hottest guy in school, dying on the cafeteria floor, I did what anyone would do. I tried to save him. His request surprised me, but I figured he needed comfort, so I kissed him on the forehead. When he survived and came back to school, he was broken in body and mind. He still needed me, and soon we were unlikely besties. But what I saw at school that day woke me up. I want to demand action on gun control, lead protests, raise my fist. I’ll tear the world down if I have to. And if I can get the man of my dreams and save the world at the same time? I’ll take it. Only I didn’t understand that the horror at Jefferson Waller High wasn’t over.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: Boy Shattered by Eli Easton is nothing short of amazing. To be honest from reading the blurb I didn’t know what to expect, but Easton is one of my favorite authors and I was therefore more than willing to give it a go.

When I started this young adult tale of a teenager who survives a mass shooting at his high school, I thought to read only half of it and finish the rest the next night. Instead, I stayed up all night and cried from start to finish, Seriously, get those tissues ready, it’s impossible not to feel the depths or horror and despair and hope in this book.

The story is written from the POV of two teenage boys, one is a high school senior and the other is a couple years off of finishing. Landon, the senior, is out and proud to the rest of the school and not at all popular. Meanwhile Brian is a jock. He’s the quarterback on the football team, he’s friends with other jocks and to hide his sexuality he has even dated cheerleaders. Two of his friends seem to show some homophobic tendencies, while his best friend is more down to earth. Landon and Brian have both noticed each other but due to the social circles they occupy, nothing ever happens between them, or even any sort of acknowledgement of each other’s existence.

Everything changes for the boys when two gunmen open fire at the school, changing their worlds forever. Caught in the hallway, Landon does his best to find his brother and finds Brian bleeding out in the cafeteria. Brian hadn’t meant to be in the cafeteria, but when the bullets started he tried his best to hide and take cover. Brian wasn’t so lucky and as he bleeds out, Landon did his best to put pressure on the wound and keep Brian conscious.

Landon saved Brian’s life that day, but Brian has a long road to recovery. He and Landon grow close, although it is easy to see that what may have started as a dependency caused by Brian’s PTSD has turned into something more meaningful. Brian’s brush with death leaves him with a lot of fears but it also makes him want to step out of the shadows and be who he is, albeit very slowly. Landon also changes, he was already a smart and sensible guy, but he takes his passion for wanting to help others, especially since he sees the varying effects of a shooting first hand at himself and everyone at school. Landon has a great head and mind. He is one of the most inspiring characters I’ve come across, not only in young adult fiction, but any fiction.

This is a wonderful young adult novel, yet I think that it would be valuable and enjoyable for many adults as well. It is so easy to relate to the kid’s thoughts and feelings because despite the horrible circumstances it is easy to place yourself back in the mind of being a teenager once more.

The subject matter is confronting. The romance in the book is merely incidental to the actual guts of the book. However, it was the perfect mix of emotion. As many Australians, it’s difficult to understand the lack of urgency for gun reform in the US and this book highlights it all the more.

And that is the only personal view on a current affair I will put into the book review, understand that reading the book is very thought provoking and had me thinking about this. It also had me thinking, how many kids fear going to school because they know people from their school, or from other schools, who have been touched by this horror.

Review: Each book in the Eternal Flame 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 series is also connected to Eternal Flame Maddox and Kaliss collections.

Benji is a normal demon who has his best friends, his favorite hellhound who loves him and the best pet in the world. Then it all went to hell when fate decided he was to be the chosen one. Now every single demon except for his best friends wanted to mate him. His friends helped him get to safety. He knew the chosen one got three mates but he hadn’t expected to find them all at once.

Robert is the doctor for the whole town and never seems to get a minute to breathe. He hated humans and especially dragons. To him the dragons took his wife and two babies so he had good reason for hating the dragons, and now he had to obey one. One more call telling him to get his ass to the diner and damn he has found his mates. And hell one of them is a dragon.

Asbuth is gargoyle shifter and pretty much an easy guy to be around. So can you imagine his expression when he walks into the diner. Casius and his brother had lost their parents to the old war and had been pretty much raised in a gypsy tribe. Now they were in a town full of the paranormal with their two best friends, who were human. Then the surprises keep coming.

When I received this book I will admit that I went back to the very first book and started reading them all over again. I am not a fan of stories that have more then three lovers in them so it was not a big hit with me as it should have been. That aside it was pretty entertaining and I laughed my ass off at Benji and Timmy’s animals. The worlds these authors created are exciting and down right hot. I loved the characters and the way they are with each other. I will admit that Timmy will always be my favorite though. Benji comes real close though. With this story you get some hot sexy times, danger, adventure, excitement, entertainment and some sweet loving. It gave me everything I could want in a story and so much more.

I had a blast reading this and can guarantee that it will be read more than once. I would definitely recommend this and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Blurb: Costa McQuillen has escaped from Earth, where being para-human—a Pariah—with tech empathic abilities is illegal, and marks him for extermination. Arrogant and standoffish, Costa is unable to trust anyone but is willing to risk everyone’s safety in his desperate effort to reach the planet Omoikane. His best solution, gaining passage on board the Santa Claus.

Eugene “Priest” Jones, the Santa Claus’s Head Pilot, is a bit of a scoundrel. Perpetually single, Priest is attracted to Costa and Arbor. In truth, he’d like to have both, but it’s clear even his grifting and gambling skills can’t make that happen.

Now as they all travel together, it appears Priest needs to make a choice before it’s too late as each of their lives intertwine with potentially dangerous and deadly consequences.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This story was so good. Priest is his usual self when two new new people enter the ship. Arbor is a dwarf with some issues about his height and past as Priest soon learns upon first meeting the man. He is hired as part of the tech crew to help Mac.

Casto is on the run after having escaped the persecution of para-humans on earth. You don’t know completely about Casto’s past right away but it heartbreaking. He’s on a mission to save his brother but is a powerful man with an addiction to calm. Calm is a drug to suppress his abilities.

I loved this exciting yet powerful story about three men who each have issues, two need help with their issues, one needs help completing his mission to set his brother free. I don’t want to give away too much but it’s edge of your seat worthy with hot scenes and action that had me in awe.

The story flowed smoothly and I am looking forward to meeting more of the crew and seeing what happens with Poll. Fantastic addition to the series.

Ranger Kinzington just wanted to help his brother, Yannis, out of a jam. To do that, he made a deal with the devil–his boss, Councilman Krakow. Everything goes to hell in a handbasket–fast–and he ends up on the wrong side of a huge pack of wolf shifters…and a demon! Taken to the pack house for questioning, Ranger just knows he’s facing certain death. His terror is only exceeded by his sadness that his failure could also mean the death of his brother. To Ranger’s shock, his interrogation and torture is interrupted by a stranger–a shifter claiming to be his mate–a shifter who isn’t even a wolf. Ashton is an American kestrel shifter–a small raptor who’s an alpha in his own right. While Ranger appreciates that Ashton seems willing to fight on his behalf, even if he can clear up the mess with the wolves, how can he manage to save his brother and find a life with his male mate, too?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Wolves of Stone Ridge collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This series is branched of to Kontra’s Menagerie, A Paranormal’s Love and so forth.

Ranger is a jackal shifter whose boss is basically evil. To keep his brother and his brother’s mate safe, he must kill and then set up the Wolves of Stone Ridge pack. To be precise, it is their alpha that is to be blamed for killing the council man. To bad he fails or should one say it is good news. It would seem he has found his mate.

Ashton is one of the bird shifters that the pack rescued from Russia. He is the alpha of his little group, but they still answer to Alpha Declan. He goes to give information and ends up finding his mate. A mate that is in trouble.

There is nothing better then a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. I love the way this author can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in and keep your attention the whole time, but it will more than likely have you laughing your ass off. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives.

I absolutely love this book almost as much as I have loved the other’s in this series. I can’t wait to read the next story. When Charlie Richards puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. They do have a bit of a serious tone to them but there is a bit of humor in them that I love. I would definitely recommend reading this book.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I didn’t really care for this story. The first problem is the genre as I don’t like plain contemporaries. The second thing was the sheriff, Rawley. He didn’t want anyone to know he’s gay yet he answers Case’ phone and talks to his aunt about how serious he was in his intentions for Case.

Seriously He Literally just slept with the guy for the first time after meeting him a week before.

The whole story felt forced and rushed to me. The relationship was unbelievable to me considering how fast it was. Sorry but I just did not like this story.

This story was not for me.
