Blood Alliance Series
S.A. Welsh
Remy’s life was turned upside down when Alpha Trevor, a controlling and sly leader concerned only with power, threatened his mother and a primal strength awakened inside him. He challenged the tyrannical alpha and defeated him. Now he is alpha, but Trevor isn’t going away quietly to lick his wounds. Trevor is much more devious than that. Remy and his pack have to navigate through plots and schemes created by such a formidable enemy who is willing to do anything it takes to steal back control and rule not only the Blood Moon Pack but all of the paranormal world.
Lines are drawn, alliances are made, and mates are found, but will it be enough when the lies and treachery go far deeper than they know? Spies infiltrate and enemies circle, waiting for an opportunity to strike. The people closest to Remy are at greatest risk and some suffer more than anyone should at the hands of those seeking power. Vampires and shifters alike in the Blood Moon Pack Alliance must fight to keep each other safe and hope that love and family will be enough to give them the strength to weather the storm ahead.

Blurb:Remy must learn to put his doubts aside and become the Alpha he needs to be to protect his pack and his new blind vampire mate.
Remy is a wolf shifter who loves getting under the hood of a beauty with lots of horses and hates his mother nagging him to start having pups. When he is summoned to his asshole alpha’s house, things go from bad to worse as he fails a test of loyalty by refusing to torture and kill a vampire. He’s forced to challenge for the position as Alpha. No one is more surprised than he is when he actually wins. But what does he know about running a pack?
Remy soon realizes the severely wounded male vampire is his mate. Skylar’s coven sent him to investigate rumors about a poison targeting vampires. Skylar is drop-dead gorgeous, with the brightest blue eyes Remy has ever seen. He’s also blind. Will forces outside their control and the new responsibilities facing Remy put a stop to their mating and their life together before it begins?

Review: This is another amazing hit for me. I absolutely got caught in this story with the wonderful characters and story line. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end.
I loved Remy and Skylar, the way they just mix together. It showed their strengths up front, the fact that they are all about family, loyalty, and trust. Not to mention the love you can feel coming from them. I love the fact that Remy gives up a lot and actually gains more. He was told by his alpha to come over to the house and one never refuses an alpha. Even if the alpha was cruel and hated by those that were weaker than he was. What he saw when he got there was a vampire being hurt. He was given a choice hurt the little man or lose his entire family. Of course, he refuses and shifts. What he had not known was he too was an alpha. So standing up to the alpha, he ends up fighting and winning. He now has a pack one that he did not have a clue what to do with. He also ended up with a vampire for a mate.
Skylar was not just a vampire, but also a blind one at that. He was also the only vampire in several centuries to find his Mon âme soeur sang, a true-life mate. Skylar is a lot smarter than one would give him credit for, he could also calm his mate down faster than anyone could. So when it is time to find betas and enforcers, Skylar helps him when the time is needed.
I loved this story and definitely can’t wait for the next story to come out. I have found another series that is on my favorite list. I have also found another author whose books I will be looking at.
I would recommend this story to anyone who loves werewolves, shapeshifters, vampires, the paranormal world, hot men, lots of danger and action. Not to mention the very hot sex you get from these two very sexy men.

Blurb: Jacko’s life has been a series of people taking advantage of him that should have protected him and his sister. The only chance he saw to end it was to win a fight for rank contest hosted by a new pack alpha, but a rock to the head stopped that plan cold.

It doesn’t take long for him to realize the vampires might be his mates, but he isn’t the only one wanting a piece of the hot powerful vampires. Is he strong enough to protect them?

Review: This is book two and they should be read in order. This was an amazing story. Each book focuses on a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters. For me it helps me from not really knowing what the story is really about and helps me to understand where each one comes from. It also helps me to understand why they act the way they do.
The blood that the vampires feed on has been poisoned to the point that it is hard for them to find their Mon âme soeur sang—which means our soul mate of blood. Lavi and Van had sent Skylar to seek help from the wolf shifters.
Jacko’s life has been a series of people taking advantage of him that should have protected him and his sister. The only chance he saw to end it was to win a fight for rank contest hosted by a new pack alpha, but a rock to the head stopped that plan cold. Despite not winning the fight, the alpha not only gave him a place in the pack, but also rescued his little sister from his evil mother. However, he was afraid of almost everything. His mother had sold him to men to have sex with. He felt that was all he was good for. When they rescued his sister, his alpha had been injured.
So while waiting at the hospital to see if his sister was injured, he was surprised when two vampire Elders came to sit with him.
Lavi and Van didn’t know if Jacko was their mate, but they were pretty sure. They wanted him to be with them but they knew it might take time to help Jacko not fear them. Not fear intimacy. They were a little surprised when Jacko seemed to a little more aggressive than they thought. He might fear sex with them but it would seem his wolf wanted their mates. Talk about a surprise for a submissive wolf, to have two very sexy vampires as his mates. However, they had dangers coming for them at all different angles. It all comes back to Jacko’s mother though. She seemed to be behind a lot of what happened.
If you love romances that include two very sexy men well you will love this even more. It gives you not only two very sexy vampires but also a hot wolf shifter. Three sexy men, feisty little mates, excitement, sexual heat, hot sex, and dangerous situation are only a part of what is in this mate. I loved this book and cannot wait to read the next book. I would recommend reading this story because it will give you a wonderful read. It captured my attention from the moment I started reading it and kept it all the way to the final word.
I absolutely love SA Welsh’s stories. She gives you characters that you can mix with, a story line that will draw you in, and a plot that will keep you wanting more.

Blurb: Zeke is an enforcer for his pack but since being back from visiting his little brother Remy, he’s been noticing strange things. Never in his life did he imagine his alpha and inner circle would betray him, though.
Zeke loses everything—his house, his business, his savings, but escapes with his sisters, nieces and nephew thanks to Remy coming to the rescue with a little vampire help. Zeke knows firsthand that vampires can’t be trusted. Even meeting Remy’s mate hadn’t dissuaded him of that certainty. But the second he meets Ashlock everything changes.
Ashlock is hot enough to make Zeke dream of claiming the vampire as his own. Fate isn’t supposed to be wrong and his wolf is certain that the vampire is his mate. However, Zeke’s fears run deep and for good reason.
How can he claim Ashlock, when the thought of letting the vampire bite him leaves him cold with dread?

Review: I have read many romance stories many male and female as well as male and male romances. Most of them have what I would call a believable outlook on them, but there are some that you just know is not possible. Even though they are paranormal and everyone knows that vampires and werewolves do not exist, although many of us wish that they did, some of the fantastic stories you just want to find a way into it.
This story is the third to this series and you need to read book one first. It gives you an idea on how they end up where they are at and why the war is coming. Their world is amazing and I for one would love to sink myself into it and forget the life I lead now. The way they are so protective of each other is how all mates should be.
In a world where parents are hurting their children whether for their sexuality or some other evil, where husband or wife is hurting the other or killing them and so on, it is nice to read a book where they are protecting those who need it. I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to get the next one read.
Zeke knew something was up the way his pack was acting towards him. He found out through one of the others that there was something bad that was to happen and he needed to run. He needed to get his sisters and their children to safety. After a bad run with a vampire he wasn’t too fond of them, in fact he couldn’t stand them. Although his little brother was mated to one, he wasn’t too trusting.
However, he knew that they would protect him and his family. His brother was a powerful alpha, talk about surprises, and his pack would protect those who came in. Then he came across, once again, a vampire that had his insides fluttering like a girl. He lost everything, his money, job, and house. However, he has in fact gained also. He has gained a very sexy vampire as a mate. Now all he had to do is to get his head out of his ass.
Ashlock knew that he wanted this man, now even more since he was his mate. The problem was his mate didn’t want a vampire and could not even think about the feedings. Someone hurt his mate and now he was out for blood. He would protect his mate from those who intended harm to him. That included Zeke’s old pack. The sexual heat was there so hot and tempting, but he just had to keep his senses when it came to his mate. He could however tease him a bit to make him want more. Talk about a hot potato sitting in his lap.
I had a blast reading this and cannot wait for the next story to come out. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It was told with a flair that captured me and drew me into their world.
I loved it and would recommend reading this story. It gave me everything I could possibly want in it. It gave me a world to get lost in, two sexy men, werewolves, vampires, feisty pups, excitement, surprises, action, and lots of danger. I loved this book.

Blurb: Micah can be an ass, he admits it. But most of the time when he says something stupid, it’s a backfired attempt at teasing. Micah never pictured himself settling down, there were too many men and women out there to keep him busy hoping from one bed to another. There’s only been one man who got under his skin. His brother’s best friend. However, a series of misunderstandings and arguments and years of resentment aren’t easy to overcome.
Rylan’s mother dumped him on the pack’s doorstep when he was a pup after finding out her husband wasn’t quite human. It left Rylan with a chip on his shoulder and a need to prove himself. Micah can’t help but bite back when Rylan pokes at him, but always assumed that most of the animosity between them was relatively harmless and shrugged it off as just not getting along.
Since being cornered by his little brother and warned to play nice, Micah decides that maybe the past is better left where it is. Only before he can come to terms with his own mistakes and apologize, Rylan is kidnapped and no one knows where to look.
Micah searches until he is ready to collapse from exhaustion. He even challenges his alpha. The pack and coven desperately search for Rylan, but when they finally find Rylan after six weeks, it may be too late to save him.
Trevor’s devious mind and scheming nature isn’t going to be easily outwitted.

Review: Each book in Blood Moon Pack Alliance collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved.
There is something about the way that S.A. Welsh tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time. 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 had a blast reading this story.
Micah and Rylan have been at odds since they were teenagers. However if you look deep inside of him, you will see that every time he says something it backfires on him. When he had first started when his feelings for Rylan was when he was in his twenties. Rylan had asked him out and he turned him down. He was too old for Rylan and knew that he needed to mature.
Then when Rylan turned nineteen and ready, Micah had been pretty much wasted. He had said some nasty stuff to him, which he regretted even now. However when Rylan is abducted and missing for over six weeks, Micah is lost. He is angry and there is something back there that is trying to let it be known.
Rylan had always known that Micah was his mate. He tried to let Micah know, but it had always ended up with him getting hurt. Even now he smells the woman who Micah had been with. He had not expected to be kidnapped, beaten and tortured. They had done many things to him, even branding him and there was something in him that needed out.
However he feared shifting, because the ass had skinned him. It wasn’t till he was rescued that the others knew something had been done to him that even he had not expected. Now he was the one that was the danger. The pack had to come up with a way to keep them all safe and get Rylan back.
There is something about this story that makes the rest just perfect. Here they spent their time fighting what was meant to be. Even though Micah had not known they were mates, he felt something for Rylan. It wasn’t till Rylan was taken that he was willing to acknowledge it. He had tried to show Rylan that he was trying to make the past better. He was trying to apologize but Rylan had not known it. He blamed himself for it all. This is not one of those find, mate and instant love stories. There is a bit of pain and angst in it, so when the happiness begins, the story becomes even better.
I absolutely love this book almost as much as I have loved the others in this series. I can’t wait to read the next story. When this amazing author 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. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me almost everything I could want in a book.
I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Blurb: Jackal shifter Jake has always had an affinity for the sciences, but Trevor’s toxic mixture is way beyond anything he’s had to deal with in the past. How can just one jackal find the answer? Stranger things had happened…a lone jackal living in a coven of vampires, for one.
After a long struggle, Jake has finally done it—he’s figured out the solution to the blood poisoning and the drugging smoke Trevor used to dose both sides of the Blood Moon Pack Alliance. Excited, he calls the three mated pairs he knows who will appreciate the find most, starting with the two vampire elders that took him in when he was lost and gave him a home.
But things aren’t always rosy. Just because others are getting their happy endings—or beginnings—doesn’t mean he is any closer to his own. In fact, he may be further away than ever before.
On the other hand, Elders Lavi and Van take great advantage of the new cure and take Jacko on a flight to remember, while Ashlock and Zeke get creative in a tattoo studio. Remy and Skylar take a very expensive shopping trip, and Micah and Rylan deal with the repercussions of the intense power spike from the alpha pair completing the bond.

Review: Each book in the Blood Moon Pack Alliance collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved.
Jake is a pretty damn good scientist and has finally figured out how to fix the poison that has made it hard for the guys to mate. He is a bit scared of things from the way I read it but he has a great big heart. He knows who his mate is, but to bad his mate is an ass. The good news he has figured out how to help his friends with their problems.
This was the strangest book in this series. I mean other than the fact that Jake helped his friends, you get just a few pages of his own story. I am glad to hear about the others but not enough to like the story better.
I was a bit disappointed in this book. It felt like instead of the series moving on, it went back a step. I can’t wait to see if the next book gives me what I want.

When the pack house is attacked, Asher takes on the mission to hunt down the one responsible. He is tired of their enemy having the upper hand. If he can hunt down Kimi, then they may finally be a step ahead. The only problem is that he can’t only think about himself now because a confession from a wayward pup causes him to become a guardian of a teenager.
Things only get more complicated when a human named Tyler helps him out in a night club to corner Kimi and gets kidnapped for his trouble. Asher is given a choice—trade newly caught Kimi or Tyler dies.
Corralling an uncooperative Kimi gets him up close and personal with the vampire, but instead of wringing his neck like he wants to, Asher finds himself drawn to the unmistakable scent of his mate.
If that wasn’t enough to test him, the proof the kidnappers deliver to him comes with a stunning revelation—Tyler is also his mate.

Review: Each book in the Blood Moon Pack Alliance 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.
For me once I start reading I can’t move until I find out how they end. These characters are also very fascinating and unique to me. To top it off it aren’t just two sexy men but three in this mating.
Asher’s life is about to get more complicated. He goes to talk to the coven and ends up bringing home Jake to live with shifters. On the way he finds this vampire that not only captures his attention but he senses danger there also. Kimi is a traitor to the coven and to the pack, or that is what everyone assumes.
Kimi runs and Asher goes to find him. Taking with him his newly adopted teenage son. To his surprise he finds a human and saves his ass from kidnappers, only to find out that the man is his mate. Then to make matters even crazier it would seem Kimi is their mate also. Kimi has a major secret that could get them all killed but his mates are determined to help him in all ways.
Now I must admit that I wasn’t too sure about Kimi. He had a darkness to him that made him seem even guiltier then normal added to the fact that he even made Jake weary and I thought for sure he was evil. Then once you get to know him, you can see that he is the perfect mate for the others. I wasn’t really sure about this story because of the dark tone, but that only lasted a total of five seconds.
I would definitely recommend reading this book.
