Blurb: Sky’s a canary prince that’s been kept in a gilded cage all his life. As a breeder for his dying people, it’s his job to find a suitable mate and continue the bloodline. All he wants to experience is a one-night-stand with a stranger he’s attracted to, before someone puts a permanent lock on his cage. 

Rex’s a century-old Alpha dragon shifter trying to make it past each day. Losing his mate tore his soul in half. As a result, his dragon’s broken beyond repair. When Rex meets Sky, he realizes he’s been given a second chance at love. But things are never that simple. 

Sky’s powerful avian family wants their breeder back and Sky’s terrified for Rex. Little does Sky know who the real threat is. When a dragon finds his mate, the hunt never ends until the Alpha claims his mate.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: For me Angelique Voisen is an author on my radar but not really an author that I immediately want to read. I’m not really sure if I’ve read any of her previous works but I know I’ve read the blurb for a number of stories (and clearly never got further than that). Maybe one day that will change. For now I’m reviewing this fairly enjoyable and very short story.

Sky is a sweet canary shifter who has been mistreated by predatory birds, in particular the cruel eagle shifter who Sky has been forced to mate. He spends time perched in his canary form singing a mournful song, feeling trapped, which connects with lonely centuries old dragon shape shifter, Rex. Rex lost his human mate twenty years ago and because of that struggles to maintain control of his dragon. But the moment Rex sees Sky (and saves him) in his human form it seems to be fate that they are together.

For the most part this was an enjoyable story. I wished there was more of Sky and Rex – if that were the case I would hope that the introduction to Sky especially would give the same details in the blurb. I find it a little disappointing that I got more info about Sky from the blurb than I felt I did from the book. But Sky and Re are made for each other – as I said, it would have been cool to have more of them.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: Orange is a school teacher and ex thief. He is tasked to do one last robbery in order to bail his brother out of jail. During the robbery he comes face to face with his mate Mal who works security. Orange ends up going to rescue his brother who in the mobs hands. 

I loved the interactions between these two. Orange is confidant and seems to have a level head while Mal is gruff and at times blunt. Well written and entertaining.

Great read.

One glimpse is all it takes for jaguar shifter Claw to know Ollie’s the one man he’s been searching for his entire life. Knowing Ollie needs time to heal, Claw’s kept his distance.

Reviewer: Shorty 

Review: Ollie is recovering from his ordeal with the mob but has anxiety and social problems as result of the torture he suffered. Orange enlists the aid of Claw to keep an eye on his brother and protect him.

I liked that Claw wanted to help Ollie yet did not baby him. Though some interactions were questionable they still accomplished the goal of getting Ollie to move on. 

Well written and interesting. Great read.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review:  I have read several books by this author and I absolutely love the titles for her stories. They have a serious tone to them but it is equalled out by the amount of humor that I find in each story. Now it seems that this one follows just a bit like the others, with a bit of pain at first.

In this story our character is in love with his boss, but he never got the guts to tell him. So when his boss told the company that he was getting married, well you can imagine how Barry reacted. Thanks to his best friend, he is on his way home. Barry is a bear shifter that is not like any bear shifter you come across, but you will have to read it to find out. Out for a run, he comes across the man that was meant for him. Too bad the man shoots him.  

You can’t really go into details about these kinds of stories because they are way too short. I hate to give a good book away before you get a chance to read. However trust me; this one is a blast and a half. I had a lot of fun reading it and look forward to Angelique’s next book. I do wish though that they were a bit longer, more than just a taste.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Jake, an Omega wolf shifter, knows he is in trouble unless he finds someone strong enough to protect him after the death of his lover. Blake, a biker bear shifter, is in town for the sole reason to get his bike checked out as it was acting up while on the road. What Blake doesn’t expect is to meet a sexy Omega with a feisty side to him.

I loved the actual story, but felt it had way more sex in it that was needed for a book this size. I was pissed at the bullies in this story thinking they could do whatever they wanted no matter if that person was already mated. I felt bad for Jake, but also happy that he finally met someone.

It seemed more than half the book was sex scenes. Although it was hot I prefer more story than sex in the books I read.

It was an o.k. read.

Blurb: Unlikely mates Brale and Dyos are space bounty hunters who exist outside the intergalactic planetary laws. Their two races might hold a centuries-old grudge against each other, but war is far from their agenda. They simply go where the space credits goes.

When a wealthy client hires them to acquire rare merchandise from a cargo ship, Brale and Dyos leap at the opportunity for easy cash.
The hunters get more than they’ve bargained for when they discover the merchandise is a rare human female breeder.

For Brale and Dyos, J is the perfect woman, but when certain politics come into play, J comes with a hefty price tag the two outlaws might not be able to pay.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: I have read many books by Angelique and she always gives me an entertaining story. Mostly because the title is just as funny as the story she gives. Now most of her books have been man on man story, but this one has J in it. That was a major downfall for me. She didn’t really make the story better but to me a big disappointment.

So even though it is a good book that was my down point. To be honest I had to skip over the sex scenes when she was involved.

The whole story is a bit different from the others that she has written, with this one involving outer space. Brale and Dyos are mates and they are not exactly on the right side of the law most of the time. Their families pretty much hate each other or I should say their races. So off they go to grab something for a wealthy client. What they got was a big surprise.

J is human and what they call a rare breeder. She has a feisty attitude and is kind of quirky to me. The guys want her big time, but to acquire her might be more than they bargained for.

The guys come off as a bit strange to me. They are extremely hot together though. The whole book itself is full of heat and the sex is downright hot. Now if you can get past the female in the story, the book is damn good. A little on the odd side though. Now to stop all my bitching about the female, the story itself is fantastic. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me almost everything I could want in a story.

I would recommend reading it.

Blurb: Consequences. Making the wrong move led to bad places. Tor should have learned the hard lesson by now, but he’s a slow learner. Questioning the dragon shifter who tried to kill his brother should have been easy. Torture is Tor’s specialty, but Tor finds himself eager to partake in some debauchery when he finds an eager submissive in Kelas.

Kelas Cervantes is a half-blood dragon. Among his clan, being gay is a crime worse than death, but Kelas does what he wants. He’d follow orders, but only from a man capable of bringing him to his knees.

And Kelas believes Tor’s the right man for the job.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the fifth book in Havoc’s Crew series. Kelas is a half-blood dragon who gets caught by the brother of the man whose son he kidnapped. Tor is a wizard who works with Havoc’s Crew. This book is about the two of them and there is no action or fight scenes in it.

Though I did enjoy the story I was disappointed as well. I was expecting a problem to come up and Havoc’s Crew to take care of it. But that’s not what happens. Instead Kelas is taken prisoner by Tor only to learn they both have the same dark tastes and are mates.

Regrets… Werewolf alpha Ulfric Silverfang possesses a trunk full of them locked inside his heart. Losing his son is one of them, betraying his mate is another. When an opportunity arises for Ulfric to claim back his losses, failure isn’t an option, even if that means braving a maelstrom.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Fast paced with betrayal, anger, and emotional scenes throughout. I think if Ulfric had been honest with Mael from the beginning they would have been a lot better off in the long run. Instead Mael ends up not trusting him throughout most of the book.

I didn’t understand the scene where Ulfric claims that Mael is the father of Ulfric’s son because he saved him as pup by pouring his energy into him. That confused me. It was a really good addition to the Havoc’s Crew series that I enjoyed and couldn’t put down from start to finish.

Good read.

Blurb: No one can hold a candle to Blaze. He’s the only pyromancer in Havoc’s Crew, and everyone knows Havoc’s Crew is the best magic outfit in Lyon city. When an accident leaves Blaze disfigured, all he wants to do is disappear. When a wave of zombies threaten the city it’s up to him and bear-shifter Levi Black to clean the mess up, but the shifter seems more interested in him than the mission.

Blaze isn’t the kind of man Levi would normally take on any of his runs, but he doesn’t have a choice. The conceited pyromancer is supposedly the best, but the last thing he expects is a broken shell of man able to bring his protective animalistic instincts to the surface. Getting rid of the undead is the easy bit. The hard part is convincing Blaze he loves him even with his scars.

Review: After unleashing a biter, it’s up to Levi and Blaze to do away with it and it’s minions before they destroy the city even though technically it’s the council’s fault for having the thing in an auction to sell to the highest bidder in the first place. Levi is a bear shifter whose mate is Blaze, a pyromancer.

Amazing story with great details of the battle scenes and the end destruction. Loved that Levi still wanted Blaze no matter that he was scarred. The biter sounded like a foul creature and the zombie minions were disturbing. The hot sex between Levi and Blaze added spice to an already great story. Loved reading about the others in the Havoc Crew.

Fantastic read. Highly recommended.

Blurb: Discover the exciting, supernatural community of Cogworks in Angelique Voisen’s new paranormal, Steampunk romance, Defective Desires. Caught between the boss he can no longer trust and the vampire he is trying to not fall head-over-heels for, one defective werewolf needs to find answers or they are all doomed … and time is not on his side.

Anemic vampire Codrick Conell Cornelius didn’t know that a blind date would lead to a near-death experience from a burning dirigible. If the fall doesn’t kill his near-human body, the gorgeous Biff Buffington will.

Cod has endured centuries of humiliation being the last vampire of his cursed line. When he finds out the local supernatural community wants him dead, he has nowhere else to go. When Biff offers him an unlikely alliance, Cod is terrified of trusting a man who’s able to turn his knees into jelly and set his heart ablaze.

A werewolf that’s unable to shift doesn’t amount to much in any wolf pack. Abandoned and left to fend for himself, Biff figures that when life hurls lemons at him, he’ll make lemonade. Making a living hunting down rogue supernaturals has more than its share of benefits and enemies. When Biff’s betrayed by his bosses, the last person he’d expect to help him is an anemic vampire. He wants this fiasco done and over with, but his wolf stubbornly believes Cod is his fated mate.

When a prophecy threatens to shake the very foundations of the supernatural community in the Cogworks, can two supernatural defects put aside their confusing feelings for each other in order to stay alive?

Reviewer: GiGi

Review: An interesting imagining of a Steampunk world, ruled by cogs, floating cities, and air ship transport. A world where there are many paranormals, but of course different species should not breed, and among those there are different classes.

Cod was a perfect character to dislike right off the bat as intended, but I never did warm up to him. Bif seemed rather shallow and diffident too. I really hope this was not an attempt to write in the style of Christopher Moore, because if so, it fails.

I think there was supposed to be humor here. There is some good action in attempts to go unnoticed and to escape capture. The sex scenes are a bit predictable, not really unique, but fun.

My attention was piqued at the blurb, but there was more intrigue in that, than in the short story itself.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is part of the Wolves of New Haven series and they should be read in order. Each story gives you a new romancing couple but the stories mingle with the previous books. The characters are beautifully written with quite a lot of heart and soul put into them. They also usually have a bit of pain in them that will draw you to them more. These two characters in this story are great examples of that. However, there was something missing in this story to make it perfect to me. For one thing, it was way to short with me, although it did have great detail to the story. My problem was the way they handle certain parts in their lives.

Many people have lost children, some from lack of attention, sickness, cruelty and some are even loss by accidents. And many of the parents of these children work their way through their pain and some end their marriages. In this story, Reed and Carlos had to go through that. Carlos blamed Reed for the loss of their twelve-year-old adoptive daughter. Enough so that Reed had left their mating. It didn’t stop the love that they had between each other Now Reed was back.

When their enemy offered peace through a one on one fight Carlos accepts. He would fight also to save Reeds life, when his enemy was going to torture his mate and then kill him. Through all the pain that they lived, love will overcome all of it. However, for me there should have been more to the story. I admit it tells quite a bit about before the actual story really begins. However, it was a bit off to me but I still had a blast with it. It had a bit of a twist to this story. It drew me in more with each turning of the page. It captured my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I had a blast reading this book and cannot wait to get my hands the next story.

It gave me almost everything I could want in a book. It gave me sexy men, the amazing paranormal world, vampires, werewolves, excitement, lots of action and adventure, dangerous situations, crazed killers, angst, and lots of amazingly hot sex. I would recommend reading this story if you love all of that and so much more.

Enigmatic, gorgeous and funny, Jules embodies everything Pat wants in a new mate. Unfortunately, Pat suspects Jules isn’t straight or a werewolf.

Behind his easygoing mask, Jules is a lone werewolf driven by revenge. Hot on the trail of a killer who brutally murdered his mate years ago, Jules has no time for distractions.

Werewolves mate for life. When their mates die, they soon follow, so Jules doesn’t understand why both he and his beast are inexplicably drawn to Pat. Grief brought them together, but with a dangerous killer on the loose, will they be able to reconcile their differences and let go of old ghosts in order to move forward?

Review: Each book in Wolves of New Haven 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 think what gives me a kick is the titles of these books. I love the fact that you can tell that there is some humor in them just from the title alone.

Although I am not too sure about bacon sundaes, it is a cool idea considering how many guys would probably eat it. This story shows what it feels like to have lost your mate and how to get the strength to keep on going.

Pat had lost his mate a few years ago to cancer and Jules had lost his to a killer of werewolves. They both dealt with pain a bit differently although they were both slowly giving up. Pat had gained weight and had slipped into depression, where as Jules decided to go after the killer. Jules had in fact been led to New Haven where he runs into Pat at a local gym. He was turned the hell on, but his mouth over ruled his brain. He wasn’t sure how to make things right. Then the shock of the fact that they were mates brings in a bit of sunshine to their lives. Now all they have to do is to get rid of the killer and buy some more bacon sundaes.

This story was a blast to read. I had not laughed in so long at certain parts of this story. It was so much fun to lose myself into it. Usually you can tell when an author puts her heart into a story and this was one of them. Although I do wish that, they were a bit longer. I wanted to hear more about them but it was a great story for me.

I would recommend reading this if you love two sexy men, wolf shifters, excitement, surprise, danger, and hot, tempting sex. I loved it and cannot wait to get my hands on the next story.

Review: This is book two in this series and you should read them in order. I admit that it is a very interesting and enjoyable story. I found myself intrigued, by the way it just comes together. I have not really been interested in anything remotely historical, but when you put it in the paranormal then I find myself entertained. Angelique has a unique and gifted talent that brings one joy and a place to lose themselves into. It caught my attention the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end.

Mori at first comes off as an arrogant ass who will sleep with anyone and anything, and have others brought to him for his harem. But once you get into the story you realize that there is more to him than one would think at first. His jerk of a father informs him that he is to marry a woman for the peace of their two worlds, the same father who had killed his lover. I would have told him to take a flying leap, but Mori goes ahead.

Thank god, a nine-tailed fox catches him first. Cause I got to tell you being married to the evil woman. Kurama has paid attention to Mori since his birth, but never made a move till now. It took him forever in my mind. Kurama has gotten tired of messing with humans and now he had to give his heart to one and hope to god Mori didn’t destroy it.

This story was a blast to read although for me it was missing something to be perfect. It gave me sexy men, the paranormal world, Shapeshifter, bitch in heels with a sucky attitude, feisty mates, excitement, danger and a sweet child. Not to mention hot sex and lots of passion in the air.

I would recommend reading this if you love those and so much more. I loved it and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Review: This is book one in this series and you should start by reading it first. It usually gives a person an idea on what their lives are like and why they do the things they do. At first, I was not too sure that I would like this story, but once I got a little more into it, I was fascinated. It was missing something I can’t think about to make it absolutely perfect. However, it was a really great story and I am glad to have had a chance to read it.

Rin is a soldier and friends with the crown prince of Yamato. When his best friend asks him to go retrieve a princess for his harem Rin of course accepts. However, he was quite surprised that the princess was in fact a prince. A very sexy man that he wanted himself. He was to train him how to behave for his prince, but he went a little farther than that. He fell in love with Midori.

Midori had not wanted to leave his home knowing that by the time he would be allowed to go home his father would pass on. However he found himself drawn to the sexy soldier and wanted only him. He pleaded to Rin to keep him, but he knew it was up to Rin to stand up to his prince. He just prayed his man would do the right thing.
It was missing that special piece that would make this an absolute favorite story. However, I was quite pleased with it.

I would recommend reading this story especially if you love paranormals, a little bit historical, sexy men, gorgeous werewolves, feisty mates, excitement, adventure and a bit of suspense.
