Blurb: Alistair Costanova never thought he’d have a second chance at love until Sam Hayes blows into town and turns his world upside down. Shock sends him running away from the man wearing the face of his dead lover from several centuries ago, but circumstances and attractions keep drawing them closer.

Sam Hayes is a very complicated man. Impulsive and a total slut, but he has some measure of depth to him. He’s a man with several layers and a deeply buried secret only a select few in his family line know about. A born wizard, Sam had no choice but to keep that part of himself separate from his public life among humans, even his best friend Dorian. Moving to Melrose Town was supposed to be an adventure and a new start for Sam. Nothing had prepared him to be surrounded by a town full of vampires, but a quick adjustment was in order, especially since witches stayed neutral from every other species.

Meeting Alistair sparks his interest and the aloof man brings out emotions he’d never felt before. For Alistair, staying away from Sam is more work than he thought possible, even if he needed to stay away for the man’s own good. But with the increasing problem of made vampires and these two fighting the emotions they feel for each other, who will succumb first?

Review: Each book in The Melrose Coven collection features a new 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.  

I love the way this author can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by this amazing author. This is one of those types that even after you have read the whole book you just want to go back and read it again.   

Many years ago Alistair’s mate had been murdered right along with his baby brother.  He got his revenge, but he was now alone.  He left his position of a noble person and went to work with for the king of their people.  He had not expected to find another mate, one that was identical to the man he loved.  So what does his dumbass do, he runs.  Now Sam is a sweetie, but he does have his own secrets to hide.  When he went to see a friend, who was like a brother to him, he had not expected to be surrounded by vampires.  Going to shock Dorian when he finds out that Sam does know what they are that is for sure.  He just had not expected to find a sexy vampire of his own, now all he has to do is bide his time.  Either that or kick the man’s ass.  If you really want to know, pick up the book.

I love how it has that serious tone to it but there is so much humor in it that your attention is captivated throughout it all. I loved the cover and that was what caught my attention first.  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.

This story is perfect for when you are trying to take a break or when you just need the sun to shine for you. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book. I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series. One that I will have to read over and over.

I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story. It was the perfect story for me and I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next story.

Blurb: They know a thousand ways to kill…and zero ways to love.

The middle bunny of five, Beaumont has grown used to going unnoticed. He’s not a leader like Barclay or Basil, he’s not blind like Bailey, and he’s not snarky like Baxter. He’s invisible. He dreams of finding a mate that truly sees him. When a stranger with piercing black eyes arrives at the mansion, his world is turned upside down, and Beau has to decide if being seen is all he dreamed it would be.

Prince Dario Montella never dreamed he would find his one and only in his family home, but one look and he knows he has found the center of his universe. But Beau comes with a lot of baggage, not to mention an interfering older brother and an obsessive need to take risks with his life.

Finding common ground won’t be easy for a prince used to ruling his coven, especially when making his mate happy is harder than letting him walk into danger. It means seeing Beau for the treasure he truly is.

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

I love how unique this series is compared to many others that you read about. In most of them, paranormal romances one is always used to wolves and big felines being the heroes of the world, but in this new series it is the bunnies that are the true hero’s. This series is a new fresh idea that is positively amazing. I love the serious tone that it has mixed in with quite a bit of humor in it. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end.

When I saw the series title I knew it was going to be one that I needed to read. It was topped off with the names of the authors. Bellann and Stormy are two of my favorite authors and are usually ones that I will be buying automatically so I knew that this was going to be a top story for me. I was not disappointed at all.

Beau is a battle bunny that feels like he is just not there. For him it is like everyone just passes him by and never notices he is there. Except for a vampire prince, who has his eye on him. Dario has found his mate, and is bound to get him to see that they are better together.

Now I felt like there was something off about this story. It came off a bit more rushed than normally would. Also it focused more on everyone else instead of the two men it was about. I felt like I was missing something major that is never mentioned. Although I am interested in the next story more, I hate to say it but Clay is not looking good to me.

I don’t know what is going on with this series, but I hope the next one is better told.

Review: Each book in the Shifters of North Point 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 book actually has a dark tone to it. There is very little humor, which is if you can find it and for me that was a negative. I want my stories to have a bit of humor in them and this one didn’t have it. I wasn’t so sure if I actually wanted to finish this book or not, but it has a great story line that will keep your attention that is for sure.

August is one hell of a soldier for the shifter’s rebel army. He is tough, loyal and downright mean some times. He finds a human chained to the wall and a wolf stuck in a trap. The human could die for all he cares, but the wolf was unlike any wolf he had ever seen. The human turned out to be none other than one of the scientist who experimented on wolves. He was also Gregory’s son. They wanted Gregory dead right along with his partner.

Kory had been one of the experimented on wolves and he was stronger than any ever born. He wants paybacks for what had been done to him and it meant trusting August. Then a quick sexy time, ended up starting a bond with the man. Things were going to get real interesting real fast. Too bad they had to deal with Jeffery and his experiments.

I did enjoy reading this but there was something missing to truly enjoy. I hope that the next one has a bit of humor in it.

I guess I will wait and see what book three has in it.

Review: Each book in the Brac Pack Next Gen series 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 in fact a branch off of multiple series so I would start with Brac Pack first. The connected series include Brac Pack, Brac Village, Christian’s Coven, Zeus’s Pack, Demon Warriors and Shadow Tribe.

Paden is a fairy and his mate is a vampire. Fairy law makes it impossible to mate someone who is not fairy. He tries to run from it but when he gets his sexy little ass in trouble it is his mate that saves him. But damn does he give a good effort in staying away.

Michaya is one of the twin’s son, and has the gift of being able to get his sexy mate pregnant, which was a bonus. He is also Christian’s nephew as well so he has the back up when things go wrong, and things do in fact go wrong. So hot damn, we get to see the old guys showing up, not that they will ever look old.

Paden has become a favorite character after reading about this. I loved the whole pregnancy also. He doesn’t let anything get to him, and that includes his mate. He is as feisty as they come and is a spit fire mate.

I enjoyed reading this story and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I had so much fun in fact that I would definitely not only recommend it, but I will read it again.

Way to go Lynn Hagen for giving me an awesome read.

Now I must admit that I read this several times when it first came out, but when I saw that one of the books had been re-edited I had to read them again.

Ian has been having the same dream for several weeks. He has fallen in love with his dream man. On the day he was to be crowned, he finds out that his sexy dream is alive. Billy has been held prisoner to a sick ass hat, since he was a child. When he realized the man and coven they were going to kill was Ian, he did the only thing he could think of.

He killed his master.

Ian binds Billy to him to keep him from getting executed, but to their shock it turns out that Billy had been one of the kids sold. The problem was someone was still trying to kill him and take Billy back. He will do everything to protect his mate.

I enjoyed reading this book and as soon as I finish this little paragraph I am going to get started on the next story. Stormy has turned into one of my favorite authors, always keeping me satisfied with her stories.

This has been a great read.

Blurb: They know a thousand ways to kill…and zero ways to love.

Baxter is the Battle Bunny everyone stares at. He’s pierced in places that make life interesting, as snarky as they come, and so lonely his heart screams out for someone to simply acknowledge his existence. When someone does, Bax feels as though he has to fight everyone, including his own brothers, to keep the man who speaks to his soul.

Dominic O’Leary had been the alpha of his pack when they were betrayed and turned over to the scientists. By the time he escaped, his pack was decimated and Dominic and his brother had been changed forever. Discovering his mate among a family of bunnies should have brought him great joy, but the scientists took that from him with their sick experiments.

When Baxter’s family prevents him from claiming his mate, Dominic must use an ancient and seldom used law to force them to allow him time with Bax. But an interfering family seems to be the least of their problems. People are getting sick, the baby won’t stop crying, and the vampire who owns their abandoned mansion is back. No one ever said life was easy, but does it have to be so damn hard?

He just wants someone who is just his, and he has found it in a powerful alpha wolf. Too bad when they were being experimented on, Dominic and his brother have no scent. So of course intercepts Clay, forbidding the mating. Let’s just say he is about to get the surprise of his life. Dom and Baxter will be together no matter what it cost.

This story rocked and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next story. I had so much fun reading this and would definitely recommend it.

Jordie is forced to come home when he couldn’t find a job. Now he is basically being babysat by a pushy wolf shifter who is also his brother’s best friend. He has always wanted him but he didn’t know if he could stop with just one time. What he doesn’t know is he is Matt’s mate. Matt has kept his distance from his mate for too long and now it is time to fix that.

I enjoyed this more than the first six books. I think it was more feisty then the others. I got a kick out of Jordie though. It has a touch of a serious tone to it but damn does it have some funny parts in it. It gave me almost everything I could want but I wanted more.

I had fun reading this and look forward to reading the next story.

The connected series includes, Brac Pack, Brac Village, Christian’s Coven, Zeus’s Pack, Demon Warriors and Shadow Tribe.

I actually came across Lynn Hagen when her first book, in the Brac Pack series came out. I was intrigued by not only the characters, but the world she wrote about. They are full of humor  and for me, that is a major plus in a good romance. The Alphas are very protective of their mates. And their mates give them hell at every turn.

Each story has excitement, a bit of adventure and danger added in to make them juiceier. So when this story came out I hopped to it and grabbed it. I love how it seems that everyone in the family gets a mate, including the humans. Oscar has always been one of my favorites.

When he was five years old, Oscar’s legs were badly damaged in a house fire. He had lost his parents to it, and went to live with his uncle. His uncle mated a bear shifter, and he was raised among the paranormal ever since. He had decided to move with all the others to the crazy town of Dalton Falls.

Now Oscar is adorable but he is also a menace when it comes to cars. Breaking down just happens to find himself a mate. A very stubborn mate who loves to fight with the fey in the house.

Hale is a deputy in town and a wolf shifter. He has found his mate and by gods, he will bite anyone that comes close to his little man. His problem is though trying to get his brother cleaned and protect his little mate from the dangers in the world.

Like I said, Oscar is one of my favorites. He doesn’t let anything get to him, and that includes his mate. He is as feisty as they come and is a spit fire mate.

I enjoyed reading this story and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I had so much fun in fact that I would definitely not only recommend it, but I will read it again.

I came across Shea when she started writing this series and the title was the first thing that always seemed to catch my eye. They are cute and funny as hell with a hint to the couples. There are the Alphas of each couple and the men that they love. Throughout each story I have to say that Jesse was always my favorite of them all. He is outrageous but you can tell that once he sees you as family he will be there for you throughout it all.

In this book you have nine very sexy, funny, quirky couples showing their love for each other in a wedding.

Leave it to Jesse to talk them into all getting married at the same time. He did get his other wish. He got to plan their bachelor party. Now that is going to lead them into some very happy surprises. There will be no dry eye in the church when the guys get around to telling their love and the ones around them, their feelings that are in their hearts.

I have loved each book and can tell you that I have read each one more than a dozen times apiece. So when I saw this book, I couldn’t wait to read it but also hope that it is not the ending to this wonderful series. Though there are some serious tones to it, there is more humor to keep me laughing for days. I loved this book and can’t wait to get my hands on Shea’s next story.

I had so much fun and would definitely recommend it.

There’s no denying it. Glenn used to be a terrible person, especially to Cullen. But that was a long time ago, to him at least. Glenn is different now, changed not just by the ability to change into a wolf, but by accepting that he is in love with Cullen and wants the man for himself. He just has to prove to Cullen that he’s changed.

Cullen never saw himself falling for his bully, but that’s exactly what’s happening. It’s time for him to decide to give love a shot or stick his nose in a book and let life pass him by.

Cullen and Glenn had known each other since school. However it was not the best of times for Cullen. Glenn had tormented him, calling him names, hit him, and shoved him into lockers. It was easy to say that Cullen has always been scared of Glenn. Even after Glenn saved Cullen from a wild wolf shifter and was turned in to a wolf himself. Now Glenn was back and was trying to not only apologize but to show him that he had changed.

Glenn had known that he had been cruel to Cullen, but he also knew that he had wanted him since he was thirteen. He had just denied his feelings until now. Cullen was his mate and he had to show him that he had changed. He had to prove to him that he loved him.

I loved how the bully changed his ways and found love in the man he was mean to. I also loved the danger that showed up in the end of the book. I always did love a good romance that didn’t have the couple falling in love right from the start. I loved how they had to make it work.

Plus with this one it was fun with the family surprise. One that I will have to read over and over. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story. It was the perfect story for me and I loved it.

I can’t wait to read the next story.

Trevor had at one time worked for the NHS. The NHS wanted to capture and experiment on shifters, but in truth they were making shifters. The head had even experimented on his own five-year old son, turning him into the first man-made shifter. A shifter that had the ability to change a human into a werewolf. Now that he had learned the truth, he decided to help the shifters with every power in him. He just had not expected to fall in love with Jaron. It would seem Jaron was his mate.

Jaron’s father had turned him into a shifter and tortured him daily. He had managed to escape for two years but ran when the hunters came. Trevor had been one of those hunters. Now he was filled with fear but also turned the hell on. Damn, it would seem he will finally get that family who loved him, which was what he always truly wanted.

Review: Each book in the Federal Paranormal Agency 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 is actually Branched off from her Silver Bullet series so I would suggest starting with that series first.

A bomb has been set off at the Silver Bullet and the FPA was going in to find out why. Dylan had not expected to find his true mate there. Dylan is a vampire and an agent with the FPA. His true match is FBI agent Emmett. When Emmett is injured in another bombing, Dylan breaks all laws to save his mate. At the same time they must find out who is behind the bombing and why they did it. This is one action packed love story.

I had a blast reading this story. This story is perfect for when you are trying to take a break or when you just need the sun to shine for you. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥5 Hearts

Blurb: Elves are from Venus, wolf shifters come from Mars, vampires are from Saturn, and humans live on Earth… and one man is king of them all… and being the king of the universe has its advantages.

Learning he was king of the universe was traumatic, but Nicky learned to deal with it. He even learned to deal with the fact that his lover was more than he was before. But, apparently, someone else is interested in what Cooper has become and they need Nicky out of the way to get to him.

When someone goes after Nicky with a psychic attack, Cooper is beside himself. This is something he doesn’t know how to fight. But there might be someone who does, and he’s the High Priest of Mars. Cooper just doesn’t know if the monk can be trusted or if he has his own reasons for wanting to meet him.

When the attacks on Nicky turn deadly, Cooper does the only thing he can. He sends Nicky away. But not even the distance between them can keep him from loving his king.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: I love how different species are from different worlds. Elves are from Venus, wolf shifters are from Mars, vampires are from Saturn and humans are from Earth. Although every once in a while you just might find one in a different place. Nicky is from Venus, but was raised on Earth. His mate was his best friend since he could remember.

So when Nicky became the king of the universe, things get a bit hinky. Although there are some major benefits. However he wants to go back to Earth and live there. However it would seem someone wants to put a stop to it.

Cooper is from Mars but lived on Earth like Nicky. A creepy monk has decided to break up their mating and keep Cooper on Mars. Nicky is about to go all ape shit on the whole planet if he doesn’t get his mate back.

I had a blast reading it and I can’t wait to read the next story.

When Stormy puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. I would definitely recommend reading this book.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥5 Hearts

Blurb: As an epsilon, Rhys Gunner represents his werewolf pack’s law and order. He’s an ex-military man with a straightforward style and strong values to offset his beastly nature. One day his alpha tells him to search for new land to annex into their pack’s territory in order to accommodate their growing numbers.

On a nearby farm and bakery, Rhys meets a flock of sheep shifters. One of them, Heath Sheppard, turns out to be Rhys’s mate. But the black sheep of the family is not so keen on becoming a wolf’s mate—and he’s got a girlfriend, so he’s not gay.

By ancient werewolf law, a mate’s land becomes the property of the wolf pack. That would mean that the Sheppard Farm and Bakery belongs to Rhys’s pack. When the flock learns of this injustice, a feud ignites between wolves and sheep.

Ranks begin to crack as loyalties get divided. Is all really fair in love and war?

Every once in a while you find an author that can give you a world that would be perfect to live in. I came across Susan awhile back when she started writing her series and I have to tell you that I will always grab her books up.

They are not only the perfect length for me, but they are so full of detail that it feels like you are right there with them. They not only entertain you but captivate you throughout the whole story. For me once I start reading I can’t move until I find out how they end. Her characters are also very fascinating and unique to me.

At first I thought this was going to be one of those sweet ones, but then there was this twist near the end that fascinated me. Also in this one you get a wolf mated to a ram, how crazy is that? I sure got a kick out of it.

Rhys deals out justice for his pack and also helps those who need helping. His alpha has been acting funny lately. So when he is asked to go find land so that they expand he gladly does so. Not expecting to find his mate. His mate in bed with a human female.

Heath sure didn’t think he was gay, hell he had a girlfriend. Yet there was something about the sexy wolf that pulled at him. However now Rhys alpha wanted their land and things were just not adding up. They had to find a way around this. However he knows he would not be saying no to his sexy mate on the whole mating part.

I would definitely recommend reading this book.

Review: Each book in the Rescue for Hire West collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. To get a better look at them, I would suggest reading Rescue for Hire first. There you will meet the original characters and learn how The West was born.

Styx wanted to work for Rescue for Hire West, knowing the primary company was one excellent group to work for. He loved the idea of doing what he wants to do and what he loves to do. His idea of fun is to work with high powered planes and vehicles. He had not expected to find the man for him though so that was a big surprise. However on first meeting he knows that Flyer has gone through something horrible and wants to help him heal.

Flyer loves what he does but has a hard time sitting still. It was one of the reasons his ex-boyfriend treated him like crap. Hell let’s just say the man tortured Flyer. His ex was one sadistic asshat that needed to be taken out. So when his ex shows up, it is up to Styx and his team to save him and the boys.

This book gave me everything I could ask for in a story and so much more. I just wished that there were more to read, I absolutely hate having to wait for the next story.

Hint Hint for Bellann, come on girly give me another book to read. I loved this one and cannot wait for the next amazing story.

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

When Nate was a young child he had been abducted by bikers and when he escaped he was almost eaten by a bear. Now he feared both, so when his mate turned out to be not only a biker but a bear things are about to get dicey. Not to mention there were hunters coming for them and a crazy sister bent on messing with the barrier. Now is not the time to die.

Viktor is doing his wandering and finds his sexy little mate working in the bar. To his surprise and horror his little mate is scared of him. He needed to find a way to help him overcome his fears and show him that he will always be safe.

I just wished that there were more to read, I absolutely hate having to wait for the next story. I loved this one and cannot wait for the next amazing story.

Blurb: Working for his grandfather is far too frustrating. The old man refuses to change with the times or to delegate anything. Business is slipping away from them. Good clients want instant decisions, not to wait weeks for the CEO to reply to them.

Necessary upgrades and new equipment aren’t forthcoming. Quade can’t stand being ignored and belittled anymore. It’s time for him to leave Carmichael Industries and build a new life of his own.
Barton Dwyer owns Dwyer Glass. He’s an only child who has always loved being alone and surrounded by silence. He really ought to take on an apprentice or a helper because the business is getting to be too much for him, but he can’t bear the thought having another person always beside him all day long.

So why is he attracted to redheaded Quade Carmichael who knows nothing about glass and is completely under the influence of his grandfather?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Cara Adams has become one of my top ten auto buy authors with her quirky little stories. They are told pretty good, with great characters and a bit of trouble added in. I enjoy seeing a new book come out by this author.

Quade’s grandfather has been a damn good CEO until lately. He is a mean old cuss who belittles and tries to control his family. When he won’t upgrade or let others help, Quade has decided that it might just be time to go somewhere else. He meets Barton when the glass at the company had been broken. Things start heating up between them pretty fast.

Bart’s family was a bit different then Quade’s. His just basically ignored him so he was used to being alone. He preferred it that way. That is, until he met Quade. Now he is changing his mind.

I must admit that this was a pretty good story, but feel that it could have been expanded quite a bit. The ending just seemed to be missing something.

However I did enjoy the book quite a bit and can’t wait to see what the next one will be like.
