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

Hades and Mimos are making their move. It is time for Jesse and Micah to get the others together and make the final move. The battle will be the one for the books.

I still think that Noah will always be my favorite out of them all. He just has this innocence to him that makes me smile. Micah has found the way that might win this and boy is Jesse going to be surprised. As always this story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything I could want in a story and so much more. You get suspense, excitement, danger, major surprises and some hot loving in this book among other things.

I have my favorite authors and stories and I can guarantee that Maggie Walsh is one of them. Her stories are a big hit and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

I would definitely recommend this book.

Nicco and Thad had met when he was sixteen, to young to mate. Time goes by and Thad’s life gets a bit harder. When Nicco found him living on the streets he brought him to the coven and things were going great. Till Thad decided he wanted to be a famous singer. What neither had realized was there was something paranormal behind it.

Thad is about to get the biggest shock of his life. Here he is on the run from someone stalking him and killing his band mates. Only to end up in the one place he always knew he believed to belong. To bad Nicco is acting completely out of character and the stalker has found him. Some magic is going around and it is not all good.

Maggie has given us another amazing story. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I was glad to find out what was behind Nicco’s odd behavior and to know it had not been from someone evil. This story gave me excitement, adventure, danger, mystery, surprises, magic and some hot sexy times. This is one of those stories that will be read more than once.

I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to get my hands on Maggie Walsh’s next story. I would definitely recommend it.

Blurb: All Hector Cruz wanted was a place to call his own, but buying a rundown farm came with more problems than he’d been expecting. Between the needed repairs, the problems at work, and the man hiding out in his basement, he was starting to wonder if finding a place to call home was worth the headache.

Wilson Jacks was hiding. He’d done some really horrible things and now he was paying the price for his crimes. Being alone in the world made him ache for all the things he couldn’t have. He had no friends, no home, no one to call his own, but that was a punishment in itself, one he felt he richly deserved.

When his world collides with the one man who doesn’t expect perfection, learning to accept that he might not be a monster isn’t as hard as accepting the fact that Hector is attracted to him. The fragile peace Will finds in Hector’s arms begins to shatter when the chaos he’s been avoiding comes knocking on the door.

Will screwed up and was basically paying the price. He lied about a good man, lost his job, lost his home, lost his car and ended up with community service. He felt like the world had been turning on him. He had never really had a good life and had ended up on the streets at eighteen. Now he was homeless again and hiding out in Happy’s old home. He had not expected the house to be bought nor did he expect the man to have bought it to let him stay.

Hector had just wanted a home of his own and to find the one for him. He had not expected to find a man hiding in a basement he had not known even existed, nor all the violence that was coming. It would seem his peaceful life is about to get more exciting.

I really liked the title and what it stood for. A young man tricked into doing something he wouldn’t have done and trying to start over. He feared no one would forgive him and it turned out no one blamed him. The guys were perfect for each other and I truly loved how they were with each other. You get a sweet story with tenderness added in with danger floating around.

I loved this book and cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. I would definitely recommend it.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Nigal and Mikkal found each other many years ago and died together. Their deaths were brutal and harsh, but they knew that they would find each other again. Many years have passed but it was not always a good life. Cage had lived pretty much in a cage. His adoptive family should have been shot for what they put that child through. Now the time has come.

Mikkal has found his mate once more. To bad he was on the run from those who wanted him dead. He had been framed and needed to prove that he was not the guilty one. He saves his mate only not to realize it right off the bat. His hiding spot has been found and those after him were coming.

It was hard to get engaged with this book. It was a slow paced story that just didn’t catch my attention like it should have. I am not really a fan of death and bringing back to life again. It is just a bit creepy but also I guess kind of sweet. To be designed for each other, then to loose each other only to come back again to find each other. But these two seemed to have had a harsh life their entire time is a bit too much for me. I liked the characters quite a bit but their story just didn’t work for me. I could not keep my attention on it like I should have. The story had great potential but seemed a bit off to me.

I will admit that this story is not one of those that will be read more than once. There just wasn’t enough spark in the story to keep it going. For now I hate to say it, this story just wasn’t for me.

Blurb: Three men, one love—and a passion he only ever dreamed of.

Karel Novak is content with his busy job in hotel refurbishment, enjoying the social scene in Soho, London and the company of new friends he met through working at With A Kick. All he’s missing is a special man in his life. Or maybe two.

His first meeting with the mercurial pole dancer Leroy and his socially anxious partner Griff isn’t impressive, but none of them can ignore the sexual spark that flares between the three men.

Their relationship builds in steps of passion, frustration, and finally love. Both Leroy and Griff have complex issues in their lives to work through, and at first Karel brings a new dynamic that both settles and supports them.

But although he loves his men, Karel gradually realises the issues are still present. His partners struggle with living individually as well as together. His heartfelt wish is for them to create a lasting bond as a trio—but that means putting others first, all too often.
And will that mean sacrificing his own joy and dreams?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Karel is not looking for a relationship but damn if he doesn’t get one. Not with one man but two. One night of hot sex and well you get the idea. And what an idea it is. He just has the normal will I fit into a already made relationship. I have only came across one book in the large amount that I have that make the threesome work. One that makes it seem that they each need the other. The heart, the soul and the glue that keeps them together is a bit what you get.

I have read a several books with threesomes in them and only a handfull actually make the story enjoyable. This story didn’t catch my attention like it should have, in fact after the first page I was ready to give it up. However once the story starts to unfold it actually gets a bit better. The guys are quite enjoyable and easy to follow in love with. It is about their love for each other and going further then what they are use to or comfortable with. It is a well written story that is engaging and compelling to a reader. It flows evenly and at the right pace to keep your attention captured. The characters come off as someone you would hang out with.

However Leroy and Griff come off whiny and very needy. It might be fine in parts but in this book it seemed a bit to much. Then Karel feels like he is their parent but you can still see the love for each other. There was the passion between the three and the heat burning. I just couldn’t connect with the story like I should have though. It was missing something that would have made it quite a bit better for me.

I will admit that this is not one of those stories that will be read more than once though. It is a good read and the characters are hot and steamy. It is one of those stories that seem like it could be real in life instead of a book. Overall the story was pretty good and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it.

Blurb: DEA Agent Dan Wilson was just looking for a place to rent. He had no idea that it would bring him the love of his life. When he rented a room in an old Victorian just blocks from work, trouble started the very first day. For one, the guy who rented the room to him wasn’t the owner. Waking up in bed with Terry wasn’t the worst morning he’d ever had, but learning he had been taken for a fool kind of was.

Terry Iverson is incensed when he learns one of his tenants rented out his bedroom to a stranger, the bedroom he’d lived in his entire life. Of course, if he was going to choose someone to share a room with, it would be the handsome DEA agent. It would be great if he was gay, but Terry was a little too afraid to ask. He was the guy’s landlord after all.

When someone starts messing with Terry’s life, going from making false accusations of sexual harassment against him to trying to kill him, worrying about dating his tenant seems minor in comparison. If he can make it out of this alive, he just might see if the sexy agent was interested in something more than being roommates.

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

Terry should have never accepted to work so many shifts back to back, tired he heads home only to wake up in the morning to someone in his bed. It would seem his roommate has rented his room out, to bad the house is owned by Terry. Although the man in his bed is one hell of a hot and sexy man.

Dan spent quite a bit to rent out a room but he had not expected to wake up to one fine looking man. Of course he also had not expected to find out that he had spent money to rent a room and it to be a scam by the man who rented it to him. Although things might just get interesting. Especially when someone is out to get Terry and damn if he is not going to keep the man safe.

This story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. The guys are sexy and dangerous in their own way. Terry is a paramedic and Dan is a DEA agent. I am not really into the whole tying up part but this author seems to write them pretty hot and not so kinky. I enjoyed reading this book and love the characters although I did miss the cute mayor in this book. I actually found myself missing the whole gang sticking their noses into it.

I had a lot of fun reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I would definitely recommend it.

Review: Yasko and his brothers suffer from a curse brought on by his ailing mother’s mental state after a devastating plague affects her. Yasko goes in search of a cure that will turn his brothers back into humans. Instead he finds out that is not possible to permanently restore his brothers. He is given a long task and explicit instructions to complete so his brothers can have some semblance of normalcy.

He meets Duke Cas and romance blossoms. He agrees to go back with the man but then runs into problems with the heinous duchess, Cas’ mother. I hated this woman. She was spiteful and hurtful. The things she did was despicable all in the name of keeping her power. What really pissed me off was how Cas turned a blind eye to the way she behaved. That was unacceptable to me as he was the duke.

All in all it was a wonderful retelling of a story I enjoyed.

Great read.

Blurb: Dra’Kaedan of Leolinnia was born with a mark of Fate proclaiming that someday he would be the Grand Warlock. Standing in his way is Carvallius of Mallent who is desperate to rule the warlocks. His granddaughter Latarian has little magic so Carvallius concocts a plan to kidnap Dra’Kaedan to steal his power. After carving spells into Dra’Kaedan’s back, he begins life anew as Latarian’s familiar whom she calls Ayden. With no memory of his past, the pair are shuffled off to a cottage while Carvallius enlists the help of a brutal elven tribe to rob Dra’Kaedan of his future title. The tactic backfires, and the Coven of Warlocks is destroyed.

Minutes after Brogan shifts into a dragon for the first time, his best friend is banished from their court. Loyal to the core, Brogan follows Aleksander through the castle gates of their old home. Fate turns Aleksander into a king and Court D’Vaire is established. Considered cursed by dragonkind the D’Vaire’s are ostracized. After six centuries of loneliness Brogan leaves his family desperate to find his mate. He has no idea Fate has intervened and sent his other half right to Aleksander’s doorstep.

As a familiar Ayden struggles between a voice inside him that insists he is something more and Latarian’s stringent set of rules. He finds himself torn as he and Brogan try to find common ground. Can the pair find love and will Dra’Kaedan find out his true destiny before it’s too late?

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: *For those who might wonder Dra’Kaedan and Ayden are the same person, it’s all explained clearly in the first chapter how it came to be.

Dra’Kaedan’s, warlock, life is hell under Latarian’s rule. I really could not stand the spoiled, irritating, ungrateful brat who only thought of herself and enjoyed inflicting as much pain as possible on Dra’Kaedan. I seriously wanted to do her bodily harm as the story progressed. Getting to know the D’Vaire clan was a delight. Each character added to the story as it progressed. I loved Dra’Kaeddan’s sarcasm and wit. I was extremely happy with this story.

This was an amazing story about deceit, lies, love and rising above the evil in their midst. Brogan, a dragon shifter, was unsure about Ayden and ended up insulting the man he thought was a familiar. I felt for Ayden and wanted to slap Brogan for his unkind words at first. Despite the angst they got to know one another and fell in love. When Ayden falls ill after their mating ceremony accusations fly around and Latarian blames Ari, a visiting warlock.

I truly enjoyed this wonderful story from start to finish. If I could have given a higher number to the rating I would have. It was dazzling tale of how different races can come together for the greater good and how evil will not win in the end. I will say I’ve read all the way to book eight in this series and it’s my all time favorite series to date. So many wonderful characters are throughout as they each face their own struggles within each book. There are many aspects to these books that had me enthralled from the beginning. I love reading about the characters that I know and the new ones introduced.

I implore everyone to read this fantastic series you won’t be disappointed with the action, drama, suspense, mystery, romance and angst that are in the books.

I highly recommend this series to all.

Review: The town of Sage is still dealing with Flashpoint and they’re many associates. What starts out as a call for help quickly turns into much more as whispers of plans and treason come to light. I loved Rankin and Bryce though I was taken aback by the things that Callahan and Bryce said to Mags.

This series just keeps getting better and better as the many enemies of shifters keep rearing they’re ugly heads. I am curious what is to became of Rueban as he seemed to be awed by Mags.

Another exciting addition to the series.

River and Blake had become friends when they had been children and now they have reconnected. Blakes dragon is having a difficult time and River’s ex seems to just want to cause trouble.

No surprises in this story and very predictable outcomes. It was pretty much like the previous books so it was a bit on the boring side. There had been a chance at making it a hot read but it failed to deliver. What danger there was, well it was dealt with in just a few seconds so there was no fun there either. I am afraid that this book was just to dull to really enjoy fully. I hate to admit that I just don’t see myself reading any more books by this author.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Abel had been betrayed by members of his coven. Imprisoned, chained and a witch’s handiwork made it impossible to escape. He was a very old and powerful vampire but it would be up to his mate to rescue his ass. The only way he could talk to him was through his dreams. To bad it made Elliot think he was going crazy as well as those around him. However Elliot had to figure it out.

It starts out pretty unique but has a very dark tone to it. It is definitely not one of those happy romances one picks up but it is still quite different then many others that I have read. It actually resembles those movies you watch at night about vampires. Rising out of his casket skin and bones, well you get my picture.

I haven’t had a chance to read many stories by this author but will admit that if they have the same dark tone to them, then I will probably avoid them. I will wait to see when book two comes out though, so far it is a fairly short read and is very entertaining.

You get hot sexy times, evil vampires, shifters, cute mates and danger in this story and quite a bit more. For now I will say that this was a good read but not my kind of story.

Matthew Brooks knows he isn’t the world’s best catch. He’s a little more plump than he’d like and has a very boring life as a paralegal. Finding two men that seem interested in him at the same time thrusts him firmly into fantasy land.

When someone starts coming after Matt, getting him to Pacific Cove seems like the safest idea, but to do that, they will have to explain to the man about bear shifters and mates and all that entails…and that might cause them to lose their mate faster than an assassin’s bullet.

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

Joe and Sam are twin bear shifters and they have just found their mate. A mate that is in trouble. They just have to figure out how to tell Matt that he is theirs and lets not forget the baby part. This might just get to be interesting in more ways then one.

I don’t really care for the instant sex thing right off the bat, well almost. However it is a very entertaining story that has some danger in it, plus some hot and kinky sexy times. I get a kick out of these stories. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It is even the perfect length to keep me smiling and having a good time.

The characters are a blast to read about and it always makes me tear up just a bit at the pain the human mates in these stories have. Each one seems to go through some horrible times. The author just seems to make the guys worlds seem like somewhere I would want to be. I absolutely love their dads too.

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

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

James wanted his best friend back. They had been from the same wolf pack but when Ben left his life got even worse. He was bullied and well you get the picture. So when he went to see Ben he hadn’t expected a big bronze dragon sitting on his car. Turns out Zane is his mate, things might be looking up.

Short and sweet, well I wouldn’t exactly say sweet but still a nice story. It is a bit dull and boring but for such a short story it had a lot to tell. Quite a bit of different things were thrown in to make it seem a bit longer, excitement, adventure and a touch of danger added in with a bit of sexy time.

I can’t say that it would ever be one of my favorite type of stories but it is entertaining. It is pretty good for when your just wanting to take a break. Now I am off to read the next book in this series.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Hot Mess collection features our two sexy men, Salvador and Lany. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

Lany doesn’t need to look for trouble, trouble seems to find him. In this case, he decided to arrange a party for children that don’t truly have a home or family. What he finds is children who are in need of help, the kind of help his husband is good for.

Sal loves his husband deeply but for once couldn’t he just stay safe. Oh no he finds some kids, which leads him to a very dark scene where his talent will help. There is one thing he can say, Lany always seems to get himself out of trouble, but these kids need both of them and more.

I have always gotten a kick out of this series and can’t seem to get them fast enough. Which is pretty weird for me, once the same characters have gone into the third book I am usually bored as hell. But not with this series, it is entertaining, exciting, adventurous and funny as hell at times. There is always danger and some pretty hot sexy times for our two sexy men. As always this story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything I could want in a story.

I hope this series doesn’t stop, they have me laughing my ass off throughout the story. Although there are some times I want to smack someone around.

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

Review: This series just get better and better as it progresses. I loved Noah and Fly. They completed the other as polar opposites, The twists and turns not to mention the new threats and characters added a mysterious dangerous element to already fantastic series.

I am in awe of how how well these series are interwoven and expand to include a whole cast of characters that seem to worm their way into your heart with what they have already been through and what will happen with even more goings on. I am on pins and needles to see what happens next in this series.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Ice takes it upon himself to stop his fathers evil ways. He meets his contact, Dima a childhood frend, the two set off to take down Dimitri and his cohorts but what they discover is so much worse than either of them could have imagined.

I was horrified by the conditions the children were kept in and what was done to them. My heart wept for all the injustices done to the shifters that had been killed on the whim of a madman. I love this series. It gets better and better with each new addition. The bad guys seem in endless supply and at times makes me wonder if the shifters will ever be free of danger. But then I’m reminded by watching the news that danger is everywhere and comes in many forms.

Fantastic addition to already epic series. Looking forward to reading more.

Highly recommended.

Review: Don has lived his life wild and fast. In the end it cost him everything. Now here he was broke, homeless and starving. So when a handsome man in a limo offers him a deal that is to good to be true, well his dumbass takes him up on it. He has just sold his soul to the devil, unless he keeps his word.

Benito is the kings youngest and sweetest child. He is full of love and tenderness, but he longs for true love. He might just get his wish, whether he lives long enough or not that is. Guess who is the bad guy in this and what king goes almost broke. Strange people in a strange land or time, I guess.

I have always been a fan of this authors work but must say that this one was not one of them. It was a bit dull and boring to me. There was no spark to it, well except near the end with attempted murder. I could not connect with the characters or the story and was not really into the story to begin with. It just did nothing to catch my attention nor keep it. I am afraid that this was one story that was not for me.

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

Jeffrey and his two best friends have decided to move in together as well as work together. He just had not expected it to be an all shifter neighborhood, seeing as him and his friends are human. Of course finding out was after he ran over his neighbor’s fence and pretty much drooling over the man.

Alex has an amazing family but that is about the only thing going good for him. His work burns down and he is left without work, and now his new neighbor has taken out part of his fence. Could anything else go wrong, oh wait the answer is yes.

The story starts off pretty good but goes downhill fast. They meet in a crazy way which is all good, but then it just moves at a fast pace. They go to the store for Jeffrey to pay for the fixings on the fence, end up in bed and damn they are in love. The story felt very rushed and too short. Then the assassin, well lets just say I wouldn’t hire him.

The story had a great idea but the follow through just went out the door. There were a few editorial problems that I saw but nothing major. The characters just didn’t spark any interest in me, at least not them together. The whole story just felt off to me.
