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.

Blurb: What if bad guys ruled the world and the good guys were the outlaws?

This time the MCs are taking the war to the surface of Mars. No more shadows. No more hiding. The old laws—homosexuality is a death sentence, women are for breeding, and dark skinned-men are slaves—are going to be broken. But the Outlaw MC has a rat among them…

Torrin is a prospect. He didn’t have a big problem with the way Mars worked but that’s because he’s not just a prospective member. Torrin is also an undercover peacekeeper. His beliefs are thrown upside down because of one man, Mayhem. The Sergeant at Arms and explosive expert managed to break Torrin. Now, this formerly straight peacekeeper has to deal with the attraction sizzling between them and tell the club about his lies. The truth can hurt but for Torrin it may just get him killed.

And while Torrin sorts out his new feelings for loving another man, the club plans to take this war to the next step. Cup your junk, things are about to get explosive.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the fifth book in the Outlaw MC5 series. A wonderful addition. I loved Torrin’s character and how he changed. Mayhem showed him the light and made him realize just how messed up and horribly outdated the government was on mars. I was so cheering for the MC’s all throughout.

Intense book with suspenseful scenes that leave you on the edge of your seat waiting for the outcome. Day Si, a peacekeeper has pissed me off from the start of this series. He seemed arrogant and mean to the point of abuse. I really hate his character but realize there is at least one in every story I don’t like.

Action, drama, suspense and some pretty intense battle scenes are in this well written story. I have loved this series from the start as it has everything I want in a story minus the paranormal aspect. You can’t go wrong with sexy bad ass bikers fighting for justice in a cruel world.

Absolutely amazing book and highly recommended.

Marius Lemarque, the village stonemason, has lost his family and his lover to this terror, and is determined to learn what The Beast is before he kills it himself.

Guillaume Bissette, the King’s Master of Hunt, also wants to find and kill The Beast. The King would like the head for his trophy room, and fulfilling the King’s wish will strengthen Guillaume’s position at court.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is the first story that I have read by Lilith and I have to admit that it is a good story. It was however not for me. There was too much darkness and it just came off wrong. I am also not much for historical stories. I want happy stories with danger but this was not hitting the mark with me.

Marius knows that his village is in trouble. It is in the time where a king led but was not a good one. They have had a monster going after everyone and killing those he gets. They had asked the king for help but until the New Year they had been ignored. Now they have sent the Master of Hunt to help. The monster had killed his lover and he was not sure he wanted to go on. That ended when he met the hunter.

Guillaume was sent by the king to kill the monster and bring back its head. He had not expected to meet and actually be attracted to Marius. Things start to heat up with them both, but it is not what I thought or expected. Neither was the beast what the men thought.

I know that Marius was missing his love, but the way he took Guillaume was not right in my book. I was not impressed with that part of the story. It is a love story and you see it in the end but most of the time I was more confused than anything. It is a good story in its way.

If you like historicals and fantasy, then this is going to be your type of story.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Sterling Rossi is the first man to travel back in time. What is supposed to be an easy jaunt turns into something much more when he meets Jex in the past. Each time Sterling travels back the two grow closer only to be ripped apart when Sterling is brought back to his time. I loved these two together. So much passion and honesty between them.

I did not care for Noc at all. He seemed menacing and very untrustworthy in everything he did. Faer was determined and serious just what a guardian of time needs to be. The entire story was fascinating if not a bit slow for the first half. Awesome battle scenes with deadly creatures added a sense of danger and mystery to the story as well as the evil plot that Noc was planning.

One of the things I didn’t like was that what Faer and Noc were wasn’t explained completely. Both of those details seemed rushed to me. There was more about Sterling and his day-to-day activities than anything else until a little over half the book. It explained more about Faer than Noc so I was confused to exactly what they were. I knew they were aliens and that Noc used to be on Faer’s team until he got power-hungry, but that’s about it.

Good and interesting read.

Review: Fin is working at a dance club for owner Mike. For the best several years Fin’s former boyfriend has been showing up and harassing him. Unbeknownst to Fin, his ex Kyle is a lot more dangerous than he ever released.

For such a little short story this gave a good deal of detail. It was well paced for as short as it was and things happened in a way that made sort of logical sense. I think if it was a little longer it would have been better.

However, it was still a good fast read. The sex was hot and the storyline was interesting.

Review: Amazing addition to the outlaw MC series. I was utterly speechless as I read. Justice was a tough leader who wants to take down the corrupt government on Mars. Romeo used to be with the Outlaw MC’s until he was caught having sex with another man and ran to Justice’s gang to escape death.

Romeo ends up falling for Justice and coming to his aid when he is captured. Intense scenes and fights as well as action packed and some hot sex made for a fantastic read. Can’t wait to read more in this series. Love it so far.

Highly recommended.

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.

Review: Another outstanding book in the outlaw MC series by James Cox. He never ceases to amaze me with his well-written and intriguing stories that draw the reader in as the story progresses. The details are amazing as the outlaws fight to take down a corrupt government.

I loved everything about this book. Deviant battles his own demons as well as tries to fight his feelings for Tage, a man who asks the MC’s for help… The way these are so different from one another yet similar at the same time was great. I was cheering them own throughout. I was a little upset about Lover but sometimes that’s the way the story goes.

Can’t wait to read the next book in this fabulous series.

Fantastic read and highly recommended.

Because he’s determined to overthrow his father’s empire, he can’t afford to show vulnerability, but Drakon is more compelling than he’d anticipated. For an Arethuza warrior, affection is a weakness that can lead to death.

Drakon isn’t really a slave—he’s a black dragon, considered cursed by everyone. Despite his people’s distrust, he will do anything to keep them safe, even submit to an Arethuza prince. He never expected to find love, and that complication could ruin his plans to sabotage the emperor’s war campaign. Though Ryuu is his fated mate, their fledgling bond is a secret too dangerous for Drakon to reveal.

Will their duty tear them apart? Can honor prevail in a war that might be too violent for even the strongest dragon warrior?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is a unique story that I wasn’t too sure about at first. It was told with a serious tone to it and I didn’t sense any humor to it. Now normally I don’t go for stories where there is no humor however this story is about dragons and wars.

Like I have always said there is nothing better than a good paranormal. I don’t usually see that many involving dragons and was quite impressed. Now I must admit that there was something missing in it that was needed to make it perfect. It felt a bit like it had been rushed when it was written but it does not take away from the story itself.

Ryuu hates his father with a passion. His father kept them all prisoners to the point that even his mother wore chains. His father had decided it was time for him to take a slave and mate with her. The Emperor wanted children. Not for the reason that one would think. There was an idea that his mother’s people held the form of a dragon. Not that he believed him, but then again he hated it all. So to defy his jerk of a father, he chooses a male slave.

Now that slave had a secret of his own.

Drakon was in fact a black dragon. He was not a slave but a prince from a place that Ryuu’s father had not taken yet. He was there to kill the Emperor, but found himself mated with Ryuu. Now all he had to do is to show Ryuu, that he was in fact a dragon just as Drakon himself was. They had to stop the war that was coming.

Now anyone with a hint of knowledge about dragons would know that Drakon means dragon. Which is what made it a kick for me, even more than the story. I love Erin’s stories and this was no different. I had a blast with it and look forward to reading more like this story. I do wish that it had been longer though. It gave me almost everything I could want in a story.

I would definitely recommend this story. It has a kick to it that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is book three in this series and you need to start with book one.

This book and the others are all about Alex and Jesse. You will see how they meet, get together, fall in love and look at their future. Erin always gives me a story that has quite a bit of humor to it. I am always on the lookout for stories that will make me laugh. Alex and Jesse seem to do that for me all the time. It does have its serious moments though.

Alex and Jesse are taking one of their famous breaks from life. This time they end up at a bed and breakfast that looks like something from a fairy tale. The lady that owned it was sweet, but not all of the others that were there were. However it was their time away and Alex had a big surprise for Jesse. That is put on hold when someone from Jesse’s past starts shooting at them.

There is a bit of twist there that will intrigue you. In fact this whole little story will keep your attention for a few minutes.

I always have a blast reading stories by Erin. She gives you an entertaining story that has great sex and a bit of danger added in. I would definitely recommend reading this, trust me you won’t be let down.

Review: Heaven and Hell do everything they can to keep the balance.

Ezekiel has been a watcher for quite some time. Never having a body to do anything other than watching has got to be a drag for a job. He wants to be a guardian, but he finds out that what one wants is not what one should do. He is sent on a mission with Sam. Sam is an angel who works for Lucifer, but has been on desk duty since his last partner was killed. So you have one who works for Steve and one who works for Lucy, things are about to get very interesting.

I know that when it comes to heaven and hell should be serious but damn this was a blast to read. I laughed my ass off with the whole book. I love how snarky Sam is and how innocent Zeke seems to be. One night with hot, carnal, passion and Zeke is not so innocent any more. I loved this story and look forward to reading the next book.

My problem with it, was the fact that it needed to be longer with a bit more juicy bits to it. More danger, fighting, just a bit more to the story to make it amazing. It has a fascinating plot and story line that will draw you in and capture your attention.

I had a blast reading this book and I would recommend reading it.

Review: Seth and Evan are getting used to life with a newborn in addition to their responsibilities to the Agency. Seth even goes so far as to set up a support group for other abductees so they will have a safe environment to tell their stories. It’s at one of these meetings he meets Cooper, a man in a situation eerily similar to Seth’s.

Cooper met his partner Dr. Micah Levi at the hospital they both worked out. After a year of dating the decided to take a trip and stopped off at a campsite to… let’s just say have a little fun. Sound familiar? Cooper and Micah’s outing is very reminiscent to Seth and Evan’s, when they were abducted.

And now months later, Cooper has taken ill and continues to gain weight, even when he doesn’t eat. What’s worse is his lover has become emotionally and verbally abusive. Can Seth and Even help this couple figure out what has happened to them? To find their way back to each other?

This book as with the other books in the series is very descriptive about exactly what is taking place when the people are abducted. It’s horrific and a bit gruesome. My issue is the stories are disjointed, they don’t flow well.

And I am all for a conspiracy theory but I found it very hard to suspend belief while I was reading, the author didn’t sell me on the abduction and M-preg aspect of the story. The addition of Cooper and Micah while probably meant to collaborate what happened with Seth and Evan felt forced and I was having enough trouble staying interested in the original characters story.

I just didn’t care much for this book and I probably won’t read anymore in this series.

Sorry guys.

Review: Wow…emotions much??

In this novella, we get a closer glimpse of the pain and agony George and Jesse were going through when Jesse’s wife was insisting on keeping them separated. The emotions were off the charts and so hard to read. It made me physically ache for them.

Kennedy’s pain from finally losing Jesse was bought more to life here too. She actually finds comfort and a good friend in Zac, Jesse’s brother and I really think he’s what helps her start healing.

We also got a closer look at Zac. He is awesome! He has absolutely no filter and pretty much says and does what he wants (which right now, and hopefully permanently, is Elliott). I absolutely love him and Elliott together – they balance each other well and maybe Zac will get Elliott back to life and get him to live a little more and once and for all protect him from his awful father.

All this book did is wet my appetite for book 4! I want it right now!

It is not what I want to read, so if it weren’t for the fact that it was a short story I would have stopped reading it. It would have been a good story had that part been left out and had it been expanded with more detail. It is a strange little paranormal story.

Ramon is a music gift. However, he thinks that he was getting his gift from Zuhal. He kept screaming for him to come back even though he was told that his gift came from his heart. He made a deal, without intent with a muse. The problem was the muse was wrong for doing it. Now it was up to Zuhal to fix it.

You can’t really tell too much about this story without giving it away. If I had been Zuhal, I would have kicked Ramon’s ass to the curb. He comes off as a selfish individual that needs to be smacked upside the head. If you like paranormal’s that have a twist, gorgeous men, and freaky ties then this would probably be for you.

Review: This was a cute little story but way to short for my liking. I mean, I have got to hear more about these two men. It was a blast to read and even though it might have been kind of serious, it was full of laughter. I mean I never laughed so hard in my life.

Jazz was just your ordinary kid going to college and working at a bakery. That is until he saw a dog sitting on his car. Not just any dog either, this one was the size of a car. Then it talked to him.

I never thought hellhounds would be a blast but this guy was. He came to eat the guy and ended up having just a bit more fun. It really is too short for one to tell another about the story in detail otherwise it would give the story away.

However, I would recommend reading this. It gives you a touch of danger, a funny situation, a cute little guy, hellhound, and some very hot sex. I had a blast and look forward to seeing what other books that Sam has out.

Blurb: It might look weird for a musician to *fangirl* another musician, but Ed Finley didn’t give a damn. He adored and had a crush on singer and pianist, Gavin O’Malley—to the point of sticking O’Malley’s pin-ups all over the walls of his room. Ed thought his dream had come true when he was scheduled to perform together with his idol on stage.

Gavin O’Malley thought Ed was okay when they ended up being together that night. The night meant everything to Ed, while it was only another one-night stand for Gavin.

Review: This was one hell of a good story. It is a wonderful story that shows what everyone is feeling and it is like you are right there with them. I had a blast reading it and look forward to checking out the rest of Iyana’s books. I loved the serious tone to it, but the ending showed me a little humor that brightened the whole book.

Ed was a singer just like Gavin was. They were both popular with their music and the fans loved them. Ed had always wanted Gavin, his crush was what he wanted. The thing was he never thought Gavin would want someone like him. Then the surprise of his life, Gavin did in fact want him. Although to his shock it was only for one night. It hurt him badly and he tried to overcome it.

That is until one night Gavin came back and tried to fix what he had done wrong. Then the accident and Gavin didn’t know if the man he had fallen in love with would come back. Did he want Ed to remember what he did or would he hope that he would never remember the way he had left him after that fantastic night. He knew he had to show the man that he did indeed love him.

I could not come up with the words to make this story pop out to you. It was fascinating and I absolutely loved it. I loved Ed especially, and at first I could not stand Gavin for hurting Ed. However he realized what he needed and wanted. He stepped up and did what I had hoped he would.

I would recommend reading this story and I can guarantee that it will bring a smile to your face in the end. It was a beautiful story with wonderful characters that told a story with heart and soul.

Cold Hard Justice by Karly Germain

Blurb: Undercover work sucked. As a shadow hunter for the Umbra, Justice Cameron was used to sliding into one dangerous situation after another. Infiltrating the motorcycle club, Pride of Kings, to wrap up two outstanding cases should have been quick and painless—turns out it was anything but. Justice didn’t count on Ethan Stone’s son, Xavier, to complicate his assignment.

Xavier Lennox doesn’t care for the ‘lion pride’ way of life, so the scarred, shy loner keeps to himself, living a quiet life in a small cabin at the edge of the MC compound. He ‘fixes broken things’, and no one is more broken than Justice. When Xavier finds Justice beaten on his doorstep, he never imagined he would feel such a potent connection. The big, gruff alpha fascinates Xavier, and it turns out, the attraction is mutual.

The shadow hunter is there for one reason only. No time for complications. No time for desire…or love. Or so he tells himself, because he’s there to mete out…cold, hard justice.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in The Umbra Shifters 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.

The thing about this book is that you really have to pay attention or you will get just a bit lost. There is something about this book that makes it a bit harder to truly get into. With short stories, it is difficult to give an excellent telling of a story without getting to close to the whole story.

Justice is an Umbra soldier, sent in to stop the dangers, criminal, and sometimes evils of his world. The MC’s were under investigation for selling children for playthings. He wants to stop it all, just didn’t know that when he went in that he would come out with his mate.

Xavier knew that Justice was hiding something, but he was falling in love with the man. Then when the truth came out, he had to make a choice. His family or his mate, to me that is not a hard choice. Especially when you know all that it involves, and why it does.

It is a good story and with a little more story to it, I would think it would make it an excellent story. It is too short for my likings but I loved the way the characters just seem to mix. I like the danger that is involved with what they do. I also love the way they feel things more strongly with their mates. It is a pretty cool story and I do look forward to reading the next book.

I would recommend reading this book. It gives you gorgeous men, shifters, excitement, and danger. Not to mention the hot sex when these two get together.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is a cute and very hot little story that will leave you wanting more. I love the way the characters just flow off the pages of the book.

Robert has always wanted Jake, but never made a move or said a thing. That is until his boss at the Daily Read sent him to talk to the up and coming sports star. They had known each other in college but things never went any far forward till now. They both agreed that they never wanted to come out, or at least not now but things start heating up really fast.

I think that this story was a big hit to me. It comes off as so damn real, although I wished that they were both out and proud. The sex between them is so damn hot and left me wanting more of it. It gave me almost everything I could possibly want in a story except for the fact that I want more. I wished it were longer with more about their future.

Michael is one fascinating author who always gives me what I want and I look forward to reading more. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. Trust me you have got to read this book.

Review: This is the first book in the Cooper Mountain series and from the first book, I can tell that it is going to be hot.

Donovan and Nate have been together for some time. However, work was getting in the way. They were losing a part of their relationship that they needed. So Donovan decided to take things in hand. He contacted a Bed and Breakfast that seemed to specialize in BDSM. Neither one of them have tried anything more than holding the other down, but he knew they needed a bit of help to get that part of them back.

This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I was fascinated with it and look forward to reading more. It gave me everything I could want in a story. In fact, I was surprised when it just seemed to flow together in such a short story. You can tell that these two love each other so much by not just their words but also their actions.

I had a blast reading it and look forward to reading more by these amazing authors. I can’t wait for book two. It gives you gorgeous men in a serious relationship, excitement, and suspense in what is going to happen next, lots of action and some very hot sex.

I would recommend reading it, you won’t regret it.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: There is nothing better than a romance that has the paranormal world involved. This story was even better than I imagined. It just goes to show how much people in love will go for the ones that they love. Joseph and Tom had just got engaged and look forward to a life with each other. Tom was supposed to go to a meeting, when he is injured in a car accident.

He didn’t want to leave Joseph and in some ways, it made it even better. For his spirit went to Joseph and let him know that he was in danger. He led Joseph to him and saved his life. That shows just how powerful and strong their love is for each other.

I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more in this series. It made my day even brighter and I loved it. To know that their love was even stronger than the hand of death. This is a fascinating story and part of a series. It can be read as a standalone but if I were you, I would read the first book. You won’t regret it that is for sure.

It gives you a touch of the paranormal world that will have you in love with them. Joseph and Tom just show you what a true relationship should be like. I loved it and can’t wait to read more from this author. I would definitely recommend reading this book.
