Blurb: Moving to a small town isn’t the peaceful experience Andrew Martinez hoped it would be.

Andrew Martinez needed a change. He was sure he’d lose his mind if he didn’t get out of the city. Between living with his mother and sisters, and the stress of his job, he needed a slower pace. The day he moves to small town Pickleville, he meets the prettiest man he’s ever seen. Andrew doesn’t do long-term relationships, though.

Kyler and Andrew have one night together and Andrew sneaks away in the middle of the night. The only problem is, for once in Andrew’s life, one night isn’t enough. When a serial rapist starts hurting women, Andrew’s life gets even more complicated than if he’d stayed in the city. So much for a slower pace.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Pickleville 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 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 April. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down.

Andrew has grown up with his mother and three sisters. He was a detective who just wanted peace. He decides to move to Pickleville and start a new life. What he had not expected was to come across Kyler. He can tell Kyler is unique and very special. The problem with that was he was only a one night stand guy. What he did was unforgivable and caused Kyler pain.

Kyler has fallen in love with someone who could not love him back. His heart was breaking but he kept his head up and kept going. That and a couple of drinks a night seems to help. That is until six months later, with a rapist on the loose the two men come back into each other’s sight. The passion and fire are still there, but can these two get a long in time to realize that they are perfect together. Out of this story I am more like Andrew but it is Kyler that pulls me in. He is so tender-hearted and what Andrew did makes me want to rip him a new one.

When these two get together they set the sheets on fire and cause every one a bit of friction burns. There is a bit of kink in this story that will have you hotter than a pistol. It is a very fantastic story that is a blast to read.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Adrian lost all of his family except for his brother. He would do anything for the man and has proven it. When Gabe was kidnaped and held, Adrian had to do a job he hated to find a way to get his brother back. He was a geneticist and had been forced to turn humans into shifters. It didn’t go down the way they thought though.

Oliver had been one of those who had been shifter and Adrian had helped to make it a bit easier. For doing that he had been forgiven by almost all of the pack except for his mate. He knew that by quitting he was probably going to get his brother killed, but he couldn’t do it anymore. He knew that the pack would help him, even if it meant he was going to see his mate. A mate that did not want him and hated him.

Adrian couldn’t be more wrong. Joshua had many issues and one of them was that his sister had been kidnapped and experimented on. He had lost her, but wasn’t sure that he could be a mate to someone like those who had killed his sister. All that changed when Adrian left the company and the company hunted him down. He had to save his mate and to decide if he wants him enough to forget what he did.

This story has a bit of a twist to it that I loved. Especially the squirrel, which had me giggling through most of it.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Reviewer: Cat

Blurb: After a near fatal car crash leaves him scarred both physically and emotionally, Matt Harmon finds the solitude of his huge, lonely house too much to bear. Hiring Nurse James Hayden to look after him seems like the best idea for Matt, whose fierce independence has been compromised by his injuries.

The two men clash from the start as James struggles to help Matt rebuild his shattered body and heal his crushed soul. The bond they form is forged in fire and ice, and the wounds they inflict on one another can only be erased by Matt’s admission that he can’t live without James’s loving touch.

Will Matt realize too late that James is the only one who can rescue him from himself?

This is a previous release.

Purchase Link: http://www.extasybooks.com/scarlet-blackwell/Rescue-Me/

Review: (Warning. This book does contain some violence and harsh language. The blurb above pretty much explains the story so I won’t repeat it.

Matt has some deep-seated anger issues. He is spoiled, conceited, homophobic, and downright mean. I can see why after the accident he is like this but it is evident that this isn’t new for him.

James is almost too good to be true and can see inside Matt something no one else can.

I absolutely loved this story. Yes, I know Matt is a horrible person and mean, but I love a good, bad boy antagonist and Matt fits the bill. He had to have some good in him for his friends to be so loyal.

I love a story where the knight in shining armor is the underdog that comes in to save the big bad meanie. And James was a wonderful example of this. James may have been almost too good to be true but he shows us later on that he can hold his own.

Once you start reading this book you can’t put it down. I was up to the wee hours of morning to see what would happen next. There was twist after twist. I will say I was pleased with the ending.

If you like angst. Lots of angst, mean antagonists, spoiled rich brats, sexy sweet male nurses, and lots of very hot mansex this is definitely for you.

Review: Each book in Whitedell Pride 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 romance with two gorgeous men involved. I love the way Catherine 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 Catherine.

There is something about the way that Catherine 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.

Jeremy has been a single dad for three years, since his ex-wife had stated she didn’t want him and took off. He loved his son but some days Adam was a lot to handle. Which is how he ended up taking Jeremy with him to the store. Thank goodness for the sweet young man helping him. Although the man who was with Jaime was downright hot. Now isn’t that a surprise, he is not gay but damn this man turns him on.

Denver was only with the pride to help them with security, so when he met his mate, he tried to stay away. It wasn’t till Jeremy accidently started the mating process that Denver knew he had to get to know his mate. That and learn about children real fast, cause damn a three-year-old can move fast. When Jeremy’s ex shows up wanting her son, things are about to heat up real fast. It would seem his ex had a secret of her own. Denver knew he would do everything to keep his mate and new son safe.

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 Catherine 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, crying, and loving.

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.

Tristan is an albino alligator and had been held captive for some time in a freak circus. He had been kicked out by his family and his alpha for being albino. It wasn’t until they were saved that he got to actually live his life. He wanted to help bring those that wanted to capture, torture, use or kill. His job was not hard, get Bud to give him the answers to his questions. He knew someone would start asking questions about him, but he had not known that the gorgeous detective asking questions was to be his mate.

Collin knew all about shifters, vampires, and gargoyles. He was told to find out the answers about the man missing, but he also knew he could not give them the truth. He had to protect the paranormal world. He had not expected to come across a gorgeous man telling him that he was his mate.

The problem was he was not out, so he had to decide what he truly wanted. And he definitely wanted Tristan.

The dangers were out there, now they just had to protect those they love. When Collin and Tristan get together, it is so damn hot. I have always loved a good paranormal, and Charlie sure can give you some amazing shifter types. I think that this is one of the first books that I have read about an albino alligator. 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 Charlie puts out a book, I am usually there to eat them up.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is the third book in this series and they need to be read in order.

It is a pretty good story but a bit hard to truly get into. I do admit though that it caught my attention from the moment I started reading and it kept it all the way to the end. However, the characters were what had given me the difficulties. It moves too fast with the characters.

Hunter and Rolan were from two different areas and were not encouraged to become friends. However once they met, they did indeed become friends, then lovers, then mates and in the end fireheart mates. Once it was known that they were together, they had come to the decision to leave their homes and make their way. All the while, the shade was trying to find freedom from its prison. Separated into three shards, it could be captured, but once it is together all bets are off.

The last shard had found a host, a human who would not live long. He needed the body of a wolven. Hunter was the one he chose and it was up to Rolan to get help. He had went to his friends and they searched for the answers. Would Hunter survive or would Rolan loose the man he loves.

It just goes to fast for me. If it had been more detailed and put into a longer book then I might be more inclined to love it. I would recommend it though, because there is nothing better than two gorgeous men, shape shifters, excitement, adventure, action, danger, and hot sex. I liked reading it and look forward to reading more from this author. It is an entertaining story that will give you a little bit of all the emotions.

Each book in I Want to Bite on Your Ears 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 have been waiting, not so patiently for this book. I love the way this book just draws you in and keeps you there. It gave me everything that I could possibly want in a story. I think among all of the guys on here, it is the defectives that I love the most.

Flynn had been booted out of his pack when he was just a child, and sent to live in the foster care system. When he was thirteen, he took off and has lived on the streets. Now most of us know what the streets are like, so you can imagine how it was.

Some of the shelters were good and honest, yet there was some that were downright evil. The one he had stayed at, he found himself either having to steal money to stay there or give his body away. That is how he met Tanner. He had tried to steal the man’s wallet. The problem was the man was actually a full blow werewolf. Boy was his ass in trouble.

Tanner had found his mate, only to realize he had stolen his wallet. Now intent on getting his mate to the pack doesn’t go the way he planned. I mean he scared the kid so bad he fainted. However, he was intent on not only protecting him but also showing him what a real family is like. Things are bound to heat up.

This is a fascinating story that has me laughing at parts and crying at others. I had a blast reading it and look forward to reading the next book. It gave me gorgeous men, cute mates, excitement, suspense, danger, and some hot sex. It gave me that and so much more.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me you won’t regret it.

Shorty’s Review: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts
Very well written story about Flynn, a defective werewolf, who meets his mate Tanner when he tries to steal his wallet. After taking him home, he learns what Flynn has been through and who has hurt him.

Such a heart-wrenching story of all that Flynn endured. But I’m glad Tanner took him out of the dangerous situation he was living and made Duncan pay for the abuse he caused Flynn and other homeless people.

It was sweet when Tanner finally confessed they were mates.

Hot sex between Tanner and Flynn added spice to this fantastic read.

Highly recommended.

Plenty of hot sex between Cai and Nick all throughout. Well written. Intense scenes, dramatic and daring maneuvers made for a good read.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is part of the Whitedell Pride series and they need to be read in order. Each story is about a new romantic couple. Catherine has an amazing way of giving you a story that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, biting your lip, bouncing and turned the hell on. I love the way you can just feel the heat and love that these men have for each other.

I have always loved the paranormal world and when it is surrounded by romance, danger, excitement and a bit of suspense, just makes it even more tempting to read. Finn and Bryce are mates, but Bryce was in love with another. He knew he shouldn’t go back to the manor but he had to try. Although he was getting to the point of never going back to save his heart. He had been sold by his clan leader to the scientist and saved by the shifters. He had known on sight that he belonged to Bryce, but his heart knew to give him the happiness he had to let him go.

Bryce knew he was hurting those around him. His lover broke up with him and Finn was avoiding him. Although he didn’t blame to the little nix. He would avoid him also. It had finally set in that he did indeed want his mate. Now just to convince him of that. He sure had a lot of ass to kiss. He also had to keep him safe from his clan leader and those who wanted them dead.

I had a blast reading this amazing story and look forward to reading many more books by this author. It is a fascinating story that will have you wanting to hear more. You can tell when an author puts her heart into what she is writing and this is one of them.

The amount of danger that these men go through has your breath catching and hoping for the best. It gave me all that I could possibly want in a story and so much more. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. In fact when it comes to Catherine’s books I am always sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one to come out. Anticipation is part of my book world it would seem.

I would recommend reading this book. It will give you gorgeous men, shifters, magical creatures, excitement, suspense, action, hot sex, and dangerous situations. Trust me you will love reading this book.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Daniel, a beta wolf shifter, meets his mate Micah, a Smilodon, the largest of the prehistoric saber-toothed cats, on a bus after his motorcycle breaks down. As the two go on a date it’s interrupted by the guards of fae Leopold and attempts to take Micah back. Once Daniel learns that Micah is a prisoner along with other prehistoric shifters he takes Micah and runs back to his pack to get help from his Alpha and brother Ben.

Intense and adventurous story of two men on the run. I loved the fact that Micah is a saber-toothed cat. Really enjoyed the descriptions of his shift. I couldn’t believe Leopold was holding shifters against their will as if they were his for the taking. I was sorry to see he escaped punishment by running.

I enjoyed the whole story of this wonderfully written book. Really looking forward to the next book to see what happens next in the Seres. Fantastic read.

Highly recommended

Blurb: Out of the Cage: Crossing the bridge between knowledge and acceptance sometimes takes a leap of faith.
Rowen St. Paul has watched his friends find their mates for years, waiting patiently for Fate to give him his own.

When Wesley O’Connor—a troubled eighteen-year-old—is transferred to the school where Rowen teaches history, he’s shocked to discover that the senior is his other half. While Rowen realizes quickly that Wesley returns his desire, he plans to keep his distance…at least, until the school year is over.

All that changes when the young hooligan breaks into his home and messes with his computer. Catching him in the act, they begin a steamy affair with one rule—keep it off school grounds. Between Wesley still being in the closet and Rowen needing to explain that he’s a shifter, they have enough obstacles. Still, in a small town, a secret of this nature doesn’t stay secret for long.

Just as the truth is discovered by Wesley’s school bully, bad choices from the young man’s past complicates matters further, endangering not only their relationship, but their lives.

Can Rowen prove to Wesley that together they can withstand the pressure?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in Wolves of Stone Ridge 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 Charlie can put together a book that not only fascinates you but also draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by Charlie.

Rowen has watched his friends find their mates, and that was what he wanted. After being warned to keep his eye on one of the new students, he was surprised to find out that the sexy little eighteen year old was his mate. He had a habit of hacking into files, which was what had gotten him expelled and how he ended up in Stone Ridge. Rowen had intended not to do anything until Wesley graduated, but when his sexy mate broke into his home, well let’s just say his wolf took over.

Wesley had hacked into the files but what no one knew was he did it on purpose. He wanted to get caught. He had needed to get away from gang intent on using him for his abilities with a computer. They had blackmailed him, till the only way he knew to get out was getting caught. He had not expected to fall for his teacher, but damn the man was hot. Then the trouble begins, and he finds himself in the world of shapeshifters and vampires.

I had a blast reading this and look forward to the next story. I loved how there is humor mixed in with the seriousness. It is always so much better when there is humor to offset the other emotions. I got a kick out of how Rowen was so protective of his mate, yet his wolf talks him into doing some hot things. This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it there all the way to the end. I love reading these stories when I need a cheer me up book. It gave me everything I could want in a story.

I would recommend reading this especially if you love gorgeous shifters, spunky little mates, quirky friends, excitement, hot sex, suspense, action, and some danger. Trust me you have got to read this book.

Review: I have got to tell you how hot this story is. A little too short for my liking but it was a pretty cool story. I love how hot these two men were. I had a bit of difficulties with the fact that Pete was married twice and divorced then all of a sudden he is gay. It did make for a fun night though.

Pete helps out Bill by lifting his air conditioner into his truck, and then Bill repays that with unloading the fence and concrete. Then at night, Pete see’s Bill in his full glory and finds himself turned on. After a little accident with the fence, Pete finds himself in contact with that gorgeous body.

I don’t know actually the words to tell you about this book other than the fact that it was really hot. Pete wasn’t gay, had never been with a man, and then finds himself kissing Bill. That kissing leads to even hotter playtime. It is way too short for me but gives me great ideas. I wish I had a fence so that I could spy on sexy men.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. I had a blast reading it and look forward to more by Derek.

Blurb: The most painful thing of all is to have what you want the most to be within you grasp, yet you are forbidden to touch it.

When the council names Hansen the Alpha of his Stray pack of Cat shifters, at first he is reluctant. His father, the former Alpha, hadn’t exactly been a good example, so Hansen feels as if he doesn’t have a clue. But to his surprise, he finds that he is actually good at the job, and he soon has a thriving pack.

One of Hansen’s steadfast rules is that he never favors one member of the pack over the other. They are all treated as equals, and that plan works out perfectly, until Hansen finds a homeless runt who needs a home. One who is sexy, alluring and draws Hansen in—Nevel.

Nevel didn’t even know he was a Cat shifter until he first transformed into his animal form. Kicked out of his home, he drifts around until Hansen takes him home and gives him sanctuary. Before long, Nevel finds himself in love with the Alpha, but no matter how hard Nevel, tries Hansen won’t give Nevel the time of day.

Will Hansen ever take Nevel as his mate? Or will Nevel be destined to live the rest of his days with a broken heart?

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Hansen, alpha of stray cats, thinks treating his mate like he would anyone else in the pack is a good idea. Nevel, Hansen’s mate, has other ideas. It broke my heart to see Hansen deny Nevel over and over again.

I think Hansen was wrong in treating Nevel the way he did at first. There was a chance Nevel would’ve left after getting fed up with it. Loved the details of the story.

Fantastic read. Highly recommended.

Blurb: A marked man enters The Service wanting adventure and to find love and is assigned to a famous football player infamous for his partying.

Brand is right-out-of-school young when he enters The Service, maybe too young. He is assigned to Mike Dobrogost, a cocky NFL football player with the New England Patriots. Gost, as everyone calls his new Master, is famous for his partying and sexual exploitation. Not exactly the Master that Brand had hoped for—one that would worship him and one with whom he might fall in love.

Further complicating matters is that Gost is already used to having a Servant, because Brand is not the only Servant in his employ.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: It’s Brand’s first assignment in the service and he’s given to Mike Dobrogost, Gost. An NFL football player with the New England Patriots who already has another servant named Mark. Mike seems very immature and loves to party. Brand takes it all in stride and does what he’s told.

I didn’t like the fact that Mike shares Brand with other players without asking if he’s o.k. with it. After all he’s Mike’s servant not everyone else’s. Mark and Brand seemed to hit off well, which was a good thing in my opinion. The story has a lot of sex in it with different people.

Brand gets to go to every game with his Master and also has to participate with the other servants. Although well written I think half the book is sex scenes. I would have preferred more story than sex scenes myself.

It was an o.k. read.

Chase is at odds with his father, a full navy captain, who rejects him for being gay. His father, trying to satisfy a personal vendetta, absconds with a highly advanced experimental stealth submarine in order to sink ships owned and operated by a ruthless drug kingpin.

To identify those, his oldest son, Erik acts as a mole at their point of origination. Discovered, Erik is murdered. Chase, in an attempt to win his father’s love and acceptance, agrees to replace Erik as the mole. Not at all the hero type, he quickly realizes the potentially lethal situation in which he has put himself. Still, he manages to carry out being the mole successfully.

As the operation progresses, Chase meets and falls in love with an enigmatic British man who keeps Chase at arm’s length and who, ultimately, Chase feels has betrayed him. At the conclusion, after withstanding physical torture, feeling horribly used by so many and not having the grit of the usual hero, Chase returns home on the verge of a nervous breakdown. His brother Beau comes to his aid.

In a desperate attempt to win Chase’s love, the Brit slogs through a hellish winter nor’easter in New England to find Chase and convince him of his love—but will Chase be able to forgive him?

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I honestly don’t know what to say about this book. While it was very well written, it was hard to follow as it seemed to jump to one thing and then another without explaining exactly what was going on. I found it hard to focus and had to continuously keep taking breaks.

I was confused as to who the characters in the book that the focus was actually on. I have to say I gave up on reading it halfway through. That is very unusual for me to do so but it does happen.
It seemed that there was a lot of deceit going on in the book but because it just went straight to a different chapter without explanation, I was continuously lost throughout the story.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: When Robert stopped to help a young man, he didn’t know his life would change. His marriage has not been what a marriage should be and he knew that someday it would have to stop. He knew the secrets his wife hid from him, but she did not know his. Now he helps Marcand realizes that it might just be time.

It was a cute story but not for me. I don’t like the idea of cheating even if your marriage is not a true marriage. When one stands up and says I do, then if you want to be with someone else that marriage should end. Other than that little bit I didn’t like, the story itself was very hot. You can see the tenderness between the two men, even though Robert just comes off as an ass at first.

I loved Marc’s spirit and the fact that he seemed like an over the mountain cheerful type. I got a big kick out of him. Altogether though the story just didn’t do what it should have for me to truly love it. It was well written and the sex between them was extremely hot.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is part of the Helping Hands series and they should be read in order. Each story focuses on a new romantic couple. For me it gives me an insight into the characters and their lives. I have always loved a good paranormal love story, but when it is two gorgeous men then you will find me with my nose stuck in the book.

This story is about a new romancing couple but it also involves Silver and his mate Connor. Silver’s mate Connor and some of the other pack members were kidnapped by the feds. They knew that they would be tortured and experimented on but all Silver wanted was to get his love back. He was rewarded with fate’s helping hands. The fact that it was to panther shifters who were also feds was kind of a surprise to the others.

Chris and Greg were panther shifters who worked for the feds. Chris was brought in to interrogate the shifters that were captured and find a way to help them without getting killed. So when he came across another shifter he was quite surprised. He didn’t know if he could trust Greg, but there was that attraction there that also got into the way. Greg was a computer expert and knew that he wanted Chris also. Now the two of them just had to come up with a plan to save the shifters. That included talking to Connor’s mate and getting them some help. All the while trying to figure out their attractions to each other.

I had a blast reading this and cannot wait to read the next book in this series. I did have a bit of a problem with the fact that Silver and the others trusted Greg and Chris so easy. However, it worked out in the end. I love the way there was a bit of humor in it that offset the serious tone to it, which for me is perfect. It gave me everything I could possibly want in the story. Danger, excitement, and hot sex were perfect. The fact that it has a lot of sex was a bonus for me, but it wasn’t focused on that but an actual plot was the best. My attention was caught and there was no interrupting me during it. I loved this book and can’t wait to read more by this amazing author.

Trust me you have got to read this book. You won’t regret it, but start with book one so that you will understand what they are going through.
