Blurb: For Theron, the scars of his brother’s murder still run deep, a new alpha is in charge, and he doesn’t yet trust this dragon clan. With nowhere else to live, and his former alpha doting over a wolf omega of all things, he figures he’ll stick around, if only to protect his friend.

And there’s one little fox shifter who caught his attention. Someone who sneaks out every night. Someone who smells awfully good. Someone who needs protecting.

Angel spent his whole life a slave to vampires. He’s free now, or at least told that he’s free, but he’s never allowed to leave the mansion. So he sneaks out at night, wanting to see the world, wanting to socialize, never realizing the dangerous situations he’s putting himself into.

And a stolen kiss with a dragon, one who insists Angel is his mate, isn’t going to fly. Angel was caged once before, and even a gorgeous alpha dragon won’t cage him again.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: For all Theron’s hatred of wolf shifters he becomes enamoured of cute little fox shifter, Angel. Unfortunately for Theron he went about things the wrong way and instead of making Angel trust him and feel safe he sends him running.

My heart went out to Theron but at the same time I felt he deserved it. Angel was indeed naive about how the way the world works. He puts himself in danger a few times because of this.

Fantastic addition to the series and highly recommended.

Blurb: Warren, a half breed vampire assassin, has just been taken down by a dragon much bigger, stronger, and badder than he could ever be. And that dragon is his mate. A mate who is incredibly unhappy to have him, and lets Warren know it.

Lasius, second hand of his former alpha, is pissed. A vampire? Really? The world saddled him with a vampire for a mate. Worse, this isn’t some innocent vampire, he’s as evil and blood sucking as they come, and Warren is lucky Lasius didn’t kill him on sight.

But is Warren really so evil? Warren’s seemed to be stubbornly hiding something since the moment Lasius found him, and as much as Lasius doesn’t want to acknowledge the mating pull between them, he won’t allow anyone in his clan to harm his mate either.

A sudden pregnancy and discovering his little assassin might be related to someone in the clan could change up everything for the better or the worse.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I felt disconnected with Lasius in this story. I understood he was angry at who his mate was but felt the way he treated him was despicable and showed he did not care in the least.

Warren on the other hand seemed so lost at times. Though his secret was certainly not expected it made the story more enjoyable to me.

Mystery and a lot of drama are in abundance but well worth the read. Good addition to the series.

Marxus was only supposed to watch over the new human, to make sure he was trustworthy, but it turned into so much more than that. Marxus sees a deeper pain within the human, something that won’t be tamed so easily, and he wants to be there for him. He wants Zane for himself, if only Zane can let him in.

The house isn’t safe, and when an old enemy comes looking for revenge, Marxus will prove to the human that he can rely on someone else, that Zane can trust Marxus to keep him safe. And to love him.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Zane and Marxus was a great couple. Both had painful pasts that made the other wary of others to a point. I loved the way despite the way they began when trouble came around they had each others backs.

It’s best to read these books in order as they each continue where the previous one leaves off.

Great read.

Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal

Length: Novella (118 pages)

Heat Level: Moderate

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Blurb: Cole is a nobody. A nothing. He doesn’t want to be seen. And he doesn’t want to be heard. A life of torture and abuse makes it hard, and frightening, to be noticed. He’d rather go unseen.

The dragons came and freed him, and he was happy when none wanted him for a mate, but then he came along. Evzen is a strange man. Handsome, scarred Evzen is powerful and intimidating, and yet Cole can’t stay away from him. Even though he fears the pleasure Evzen can give, he is completely under the man’s spell and at his mercy.

Evzen will teach the small shifter what it’s like to really live, because only Cole can give that to him in return. After the death of his mate, Evzen wants this second chance, though someone in his own clan is plotting against him and his new happiness, with Cole as their primary target.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Evzen was the leader of the dragons that join with Seth’s dragons. He takes one look at cute Cole and pursues him but Cole is terrified of everyone after the abuse he suffered at the hands of the vampires. I liked how even though Evzen wanted Cole he took the time to ensure and do everything possible to convince Cole he was not in danger from him.

Some of Evzen’s dragons do not approve and one even attacks Cole. I felt their was a lack of communication to Cole on Evzen’s part as he should have told him not everyone was happy with them being mates. A great addition to the series.

Highly recommended.

His mate visits him, sometimes, but when he does, Lucian is having more and more trouble believing it’s all just an act. Lucian is starting to lose faith that his mate might just be faking the pleasure in his eyes whenever he hurts Lucian.

When escape becomes possible, Lucian may even leave Sorin behind.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This book was awesome. Lucian is captured by Sorin’s father and as a way to protect him he makes Lucian believe them being mates was a mistake. It had Lucian questioning everything between them.

Dan makes an appearance in this story, don’t understand why he is still causing havoc for the dragons, but helps Sorin. I still think he is an asshole though.

Fantastic addition to the series.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Micah, Stefan and Van are back again in this installment. I have to say now that I have read one through nine I am amazed that Van is still around considering what all he has done. I thought it was sneaky yet smart to attack when the vampires attack. Though Van still did not get his way.

It is amazing to me that the big bad dragons seem to shy away from taking out one of their own when the need arises. Aside from that it was a great story with action, drama and suspense.

Great read.
