Mikkal Daggart was tired of being on the run. After being framed, he’d disappeared, waiting for the right moment to prove his innocence. The best place to hide? A human city. Only trouble seems to follow him everywhere and after saving a strange man’s life, Mikkal knows his hideout is no longer safe. Not that it matters much, he has bigger problems. They go by the name of Cage.

Was this a second chance to regain something Mikkal had thought lost forever? Will Cage find out just what had always been different about himself? Will finding answers help the two broken men mend their hearts and build a happier future?

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: Python had made a mess of his life and now was paying the ultimate price. He was dying. It was nothing else but what he deserved after all. Only… Maybe he needed to hit rock bottom before finding everything he’d ever searched for?
Rei was not the type to offer anyone second chances. Especially some punk supernatural creature that had almost killed his baby brother. What could ever excuse that? No, he wasn’t even thinking about it. Besides, his attention was elsewhere focused… On much more pleasant issues than his former military career.
If only things were that simple. Fortunately, they weren’t and as they will both soon figure it out, it wasn’t up to them to decide.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Python almost killed his brother’s human mate. He had not meant to but had thought the guy was his, and if he had died so would his brother. Thankfully his brother’s mate saw what was really going on, well some parts of it. What none of them realized other than Python, was Python was dying. He had taken on their mothers curse. He was turning human, unless he mated. What he had not expected was to have two mates.

Rei has spent time in the military and was tough as nails. He had the hots for someone that was trying to kill him, pretty strange but the fact that Jonathan didn’t want to kill him well you can guess. Jonathan was half human and half kappa, and his uncle was his master. His master wanted him to kill Rei, but hey he was not into meat. Sounds pretty screwed up to me.

First off this book had so many grammar and spelling problems that it made the story just off. They were easy to spot and just drove me nuts. The whole story jumped all over the place and made me want to just throw the book. It has a funny tone to it in the end, but you had to get through the first half of the book to see it, and getting that far was a fight. I like the ending better than I thought although I would have wished to see how many babies they ended up with.

Over all this story was just bizarre and off putting. It made my head hurt just reading it. I gave it a higher rating just because these guys were funny, well in parts of it.

The story might have had a better chance if it didn’t come off rushed and not edited. I am sorry to say but this story just pretty much bottomed out for me.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: The first thing I want to say about this story is it is one teaser2weird book. At first I was not sure if I was going to like it, but have to say it definitely catches you attention. Although I must admit I haven’t seen a perfect Valentine’s Day either, but to listen to Troy go on about it was funny as hell.

There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance that captures you attention from the beginning and keeps it there. Well that is not true an MPreg one is the best. I get so damn tickled at the fact that a guy can get pregnant. I love the way they panic and say but I am a man. Ryuu’s was the best so far. However I did feel bad for the poor dude stuck in a crazy ass family. And to think his brother might be Python’s mate rocks. Those two deserve each other.

Ryuu had hated his life stuck in a rut so to speak. He wanted to end his relationship with Brad, but he didn’t think getting hit by a truck was any better. However he at least had a sexy blue haired guy taking care of him. And oh was he taking care of him. Then a few quirks screw it all up, but at least it was back on the right path. That is until he finds out he is now a little dragon. Wow and to think dressing up as a woman was his only kink.

Troy hated Valentine’s Day and didn’t much care for humans, but now he might have found the one. His life is about to get even crazier, for he has gotten his little man pregnant. His mother was going to have a blast with this.

This story was quirky and funny as hell. I look forward to reading the next story.

I had a blast with this and would definitely recommend it.

Blurb: one story, 25 authors, infinite possibilities…

Quad McDaniel’s life changed forever the night he was attacked by a wolf. Now, he turns furry every full moon. Avoiding red meat and anything that makes him aggressive is his prime goal in life. But when his convertible breaks down in some Podunk town, becoming the beast within is no longer a choice. It’s instinctive.

Gypsy Govanivinch just wants to live a quiet life in Trinity Valley, running his roadhouse tavern. He doesn’t need an overly aggressive shifter coming into his town and messing with his peaceful little world, no matter how gorgeous the man looked.

Life never asked Quad or Gypsy what they wanted. It simply gave them what they needed, whether they agreed or not. Fate brought them together but it’s up to Quad and Gypsy to stay alive long enough to appreciate what they’ve been given. And when others work to prevent that, fighting together might be the only chance they have of surviving.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This was a wacky, crazy, and pretty damn good read. I have never read a book where each chapter is by a different author. But I must say they did a great job.

Quad is changed into a wolf shifter and abandoned by his maker. Now months later Quad is driving in his new car when it decides to die outside a little town called Trinity Valley. From there things just get weirder and weirder.

Gypsy is not human himself and is able to explain to Quad a little about shifters. But Gypsy has been hurt by shifters before and has a pretty big issue with them. But that doesn’t stop these two from mixing it up both in and out of bed. The chemistry is there from the start even when they don’t seem to like each other much.

For a book written by twenty-five different authors, there was a good flow in the story. It was fast paced and gave the needed information without dragging down the story with too much. The sex was steamy and very hot. The main characters were easy to like and personable.

A lot happens in a very short amount of time. There was tons of twist and turns going on throughout as Quad and Gypsy try to figure out what the hell is going on. There was some wicked planning going on by the bad guys.

This was a well written story by some of my favorite authors. It was entertaining, humorous, sexy, and wicked fun to read.

Good for Me by Aeryn Tyler

Genre: Contemporary
Length: Novel (192 words)
Publisher: Aeryn Tyler (22 Dec 2014)
Heat Level: Explicit
Heart Rating: ♥♥♥3Hearts
Blurb: Tyler is a young college professor whose main trait is his clumsiness. His quirky habit of just blurting the stray thoughts running through his brain usually lands him in trouble. He needs a keeper, if you ask Bain.

Bain would like nothing more that to accept the role of Tyler’s keeper. And introduce him to all the things the geeky prof has ignored until now. If only things were simpler. The timing couldn’t be worse for meeting a guy he really liked.

Things get even messier when Tyler is attacked and ends up in medical care not once…but twice. Misunderstandings and Tyler’s lack of experience just top the situation.

Will they sort it out? Or will their attraction lead them only to more trouble?

Reviewer: Prime

Review: This book has a fun formula – a nerdish, bookish young professor meets a new, sexy student who once was a security guard at the college plus being rather mysterious. Simple premise and overall it is quite enjoyable, which is why it was so painful for me to rate so low. To quote Mal from Firefly, “honestly, there could be tears”. So first off, I’ll go through why this is a great story.

First off the main characters, Tyler and Bain: Tyler is cute, sexy and completely nerdy while Bain is hall, hunky and very much a macho man. They have great chemistry together. There was also some great banter as well as a rather intriguing clash in their personalities. Then there are a couple of minor characters that spark my interest, particularly Tyler’s brother (complicated but I will come back to him later). The story itself flowed well and kept me turning the page despite what I am about to outline next. The point is, I cannot tell you enough how much I loved this story.

However, there is a big, big, big, BUT!

It’s the editing that has really got me wanting to cry. There is multiple times where words are misspelled by one or two letters, leading to the misuse of words. I normally would not point this out because no book is perfect and there is usually one minor silly grammatical error or another in every book. Here, you can’t go a more than a couple of pages without at least one error (I really did want to cry when in the middle of a good scene there were two on one page). Normally, this type of thing would turn me off of reading but I went on because of the story.

Which leads me back to Tyler’s brother, Sean: he is al mysterious and I get why (you will too if you read the book and get some of his back story). Particularly in the first half of the book, there was something missing about Sean and his story. I can’t put my finger on it but I really did want more of him in some capacity.

There was also a part of a chapter which was written Sean’s his POV, a rather large deviation from after only hearing from Tyler and Bain. The book is entirely first person which made this all the more confusing. I had to go back and read a few times to realise which character I was reading. It was interesting, but it needed to be flagged more clearly.

The reason why I’ve harped on about Sean so long is because he is a main character for the next book in this series, which despite my misgivings on this one. I really do look forward to reading.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in Return of the Originals 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. I love the way Aeryn 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 Aeryn.

There is something about the way that Aeryn tells a story that will not only draw 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 the ones they love with all that they have. I had a blast reading this story.

Killa is one of the originals. He was a drashers. Basically he was a big reptile when he changed shapes. He was also one of the biggest players known, which is funny because he is being taken down by a little wolf. He had sex with the cutie, and then basically pushed him out of bed. If he had his head on straight he would have known sooner, that the cute and sexy little wolf was his mate. Now he had some major ass to kiss.

Keen had basically been abused most of his life by his own family. His new family saved him and brought him to their home. He was scared but also so damn brave that it would make your heart swell. At first he had thought Killa just didn’t want him like that, but once the big idiot realized what Keen was to him, well he has made up in spades.

Their sex life was extremely heated and so much fun. With a little kink added in, they were setting the sheets on fire. Now if only they could keep his evil family away from him. Killa would do everything in his powers to keep his little mate safe.

I had a blast reading it that is for sure. 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 Aeryn 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 just a touch 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 everything I could want in a book. I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing and loving.

Gorgeous men, sexy shifters, excitement, action and danger is just a part of this story. I would recommend reading this book. Be ready for a late night.
