Blurb: Sometimes you have to get over bad memories to create new ones.

Trevor has known who his mate was for years, but he’s so painfully shy and insecure that the most he’s done to woo him has been leaving him cupcakes on his porch. He knows he’s going to lose him if he doesn’t finally make a move, though, and with a not so gentle push from two of his friends, he calls Micah.

Micah is still dealing with bad memories from his shifter ex-boyfriend, and he’s glad when he meets Trevor. Trevor looks unassuming and sweet, and Micah is thrilled, until he finds out Trevor is just like his ex. He runs, thinking he’ll never see Trevor again.

Family and friends conspire to get Trevor and Micah together, and it works, until Micah discovers his father has been hiding a secret that could put Trevor and the entire pride in danger.

Will Micah and Trevor’s fragile relationship survive, or will the past push them apart?

Review: Each book in the 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. In fact with this particular series I would start with the first book but also it crisscross with Gillham Pack. But, every title can be enjoyed as a standalone.

I have read many books over the years paranormal and contemporary/ I have loved many series and authors. However over time I start to lose interest in them whether it is from the change in writings to the wait time for a book from a certain series. Now Catherine has many books in this series and in Gillham Pack series and I have to admit that this is one author who has kept my attention with her work over time.

Trevor has known who his mate was for some time, but he has this bad case of being shy to approach Micah. So his cute little leopard butt leaves the human cupcakes. Micah lives with his father and has finally found out who is behind the cupcake deal.

It looks all good till Micah finds out that Trevor is a shifter. It would seem Micah doesn’t really have any good memories of shifters so it is going to take Trevor a bit of patience to get him to see that they are perfect for each other. Now if you have read these series you can guarantee Nysys and Keenan will be helping him out. It also seems like dad has been keeping some secrets of his own.

I always get a kick out of these stories and cannot wait till the next one comes out. They are the perfect length for me and I absolutely love these guys. This story rocked, but then I had no doubt that it wouldn’t. Trust me you guys have got to read these books.

Monika De Giorgi

Facing your fears, inner demons, friendship and a love to dream of.

Jesse meets a wonderful guy who is caring, attentive, lovable, and handsome to boot. Unfortunately, the only time he sees Cameron is in his dreams—dreams that are never flimsy and fast forgotten in the morning, but feel very real. And the longer they go on, the more palpable they feel to Jesse.

But what happens when these dreams have a bigger and bigger impact on Jesse’s daily life? When they begin to take a toll on him and make it harder to wake up every day? And what if they turn into nightmares and Jesse can’t get out anymore, if he never wakes up?

One day Cameron finds a heartbreaking poem in a small notebook, hidden in a used book. From the first time he reads it, the handwritten words resonate somewhere deep within him and when he goes to sleep that night, he meets Jesse for the first time—a sad young man who makes Cam want to give him reasons to smile and a shoulder to cry on. From that night on, Jesse is a nightly visitor in Cameron’s dreams.

But what happens when Cameron finds out that his Jesse is very much real? And what if a sinister presence takes hold of their shared dreams and Cameron wakes up? Can he get back to Jesse? Or will Jesse stay back forever in this dreamscape turned nightmare?

Review: Each book in the Wildcat Hills 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. But, it is by no means necessary.

Viggo has always wanted a mate, but he had never expected his mate to be a guy. He is having a difficult time getting over the fact that Jaxon was his mate. So imagine his surprise when he got home from work to find out. To top it top it off Jaxon’s herd wanted him back, so they kidnapped Viggo’s Alpha to get it done.

Jaxon was pretty much the same as Viggo, except he had a bit more time to get use to the idea. He also wanted Viggo no matter what. And his damn ex-Alpha kidnaps Xander to get him back. They both will protect each other with everything in them, now if only they could get to the claiming.

I absolutely adored the crazy nurse that refuses to go home. This story was a blast and I had so much fun reading it. I think Liza Kay is going to be a new favorite author for me.

Product Link: http://www.extasybooks.com/sean-kerr/dead-camp-2-1/

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the second book in the Dead Camp series and boy does it pack a punch to the gut.

Eli and Mal infiltrate a death camp in order to free the prisoners from the atrocities taking place within. Eli goes in as a prisoner and gets a firsthand experience of ll the horrible conditions and treatments of said camp. I was so angry on behalf of all those within that suffered.

Mal goes in as a guard and experiences the evil deeds done by the guards and those in charge. I felt Mal’s disgust with the whole situation. I was also worried about Mal as he was a ghost possessing someone else’s body and feared that he would not make it.

As with any story of this magnitude there are mysteries to be solved past enemies to be brought down and above all else trying to keep your sanity in a place where evil rules. It was an epic journey of sorts that was filled with sorrow, horror and survival. The scene that actually made me bawl like a baby was the shower. The injustice and seeming disregard for human life simply because of who they were was almost more than I could take.

The author does a wonderful job in the details and storytelling. I felt as though i was actually there witnessing everything.

I loved this book and am looking forward to the next book in this intense yet fascinating series.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Demon Elite 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 would start with Lakehouse Security first though.

Cosmo’s life growing up was not a picnic and he had gone to jail a couple of times until Justine recruited him. Now he worked for the best teams. From the moment he met Derek, he was fascinated and wanted the man. Too bad Derek never looked twice at him.

Derek has wanted Cosmo from the first moment he saw him, but there was no fraternization among teammates. After catching Cosmo breaking in, he knew it was time to switch sides. He had his suspicions that his boss was doing illegal shit, but now he had to protect the man he was falling in love with.

I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series that you can’t put down and have to read more than once. It is the perfect story for me and gave me all that I needed. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story.

I had a blast reading it and I can’t wait to read the next story.

Blurb: Being forced into an arranged mating is the last thing Leo needs, especially when he knows it will end horribly and he’s already falling for another man.

Leo, a cheetah shifter, knows he will be married off to a man of his parents’ choosing. He won’t have any choice in the matter. When his father informs him Antonio will be his mate, he doesn’t exactly like the man, but is determined to make the best of it.

But Cam and his mate are out on vacation and Leo finds Taruk at their house instead.

Taruk doesn’t exactly understand the recent trend in the elk herd he belongs to toward having arranged marriages, but he’s not overly worried about it, since he’s not high on the pecking order. After seeing how happy his best friend Jenner is with his mate, Cam, Taruk wonders if it’s not so bad. When Leo shows up while he’s house sitting, he responds to the fear and sadness emanating from the young cheetah. The two are drawn together only to be torn apart when Leo’s promised mate arrives and takes Leo away.

The two struggle with the feelings their brief encounter has awakened. Then when disaster strikes, only that new love is enough to hold them both together…

Review: I’m not really sure what exactly happened with this book. Just when things turn dark for Taruk and Leo the story does a complete 180. I was disappointed with this as it almost seems like the story was dropped then picked up again without adding anything in between.

I did not like this story.

Blurb: Into the Paranormal World: Change is never easy, but it is oftentimes worth the painful effort.

Taolma is a young boa constrictor shifter who has recently been reunited with his father after almost two decades apart. He currently lives with a clutch of gargoyles on the outskirts of a small town, but he doesn’t mind. There’s a massive arboretum to sun in and a pond to swim in, plus plenty of trees to climb.

Due to the small town atmosphere, Taolma doesn’t expect to find his mate any time soon. Imagine his surprise, excitement, and disappointment when he walks into a hotel room and discovers his mate. Quinn is slender, muscular, and handsome.

Oh, and he’s a hunter recovering from claw-wounds received by a gargoyle. Taolma hadn’t planned on settling down any time soon, but the pull to mate is undeniable.

Can he figure out how to convince a hunter that not all shifters are evil, come to grips with Fate giving him a mate when so young, and of course convince a man who hates paranormals that they were meant to be together?

Now he had been reunited with him and was living with the gargoyles. It would seem he had a mate, a mate that hated paranormals. However the pull to them both, shows them that fate is always right.

Sealed With Honor by A.J. Marcus and Caitlin Ricci

Title: Sealed With Honor

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥3 Hearts

Blurb: For these two, having an arranged marriage could either be a catastrophe, or the best thing that’s ever happened to them.

Cam has always known that his mating would be arranged by his father, and his best hope is for a mate who respects him and could eventually be friends with him. He has no choice in the matter and is resigned to the worst-case scenario of a mate he’ll end up hating for the rest of his life.

His biggest worry is that he’ll no longer be able to keep his best friend in his life. If his mate says he can’t have friends, that will be the end of it and he won’t be able to say a thing against that decision. It’s his worst fear, and he can’t keep his tears at bay even during his own mating ceremony as he feels like he’s losing the only real friend he’s ever had.

Jenner isn’t entirely sure why his new mate looks like he’s going to his death. He wants to be friends with Cam, and his traditions make it hard to get close to him. His father wanted to make sure he fell in love before he was thirty and thought mating him to someone would be the best way to get that accomplished.

Jenner is looking forward to getting to know his new mate, if only Cam will let that happen. The little glimpses he’s had of the real Cam tell him he’s been mated to a feisty man who won’t back down, and Jenner wants more time with that side of him and a lot less with the one who only wants to do what’s expected of them and looks absolutely miserable all the time.

Having an arranged mating isn’t ideal, but for Cam and Jenner it might be the best thing for them both.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Cam, a fox shifter doesn’t want an arranged marriage but knows he has no choice. His biggest fear is that he won’t be able to see Leo again afterwards. Jenner is intrigued by his mate and wants to get to know both sides of him. But with misunderstanding after misunderstanding he is finding that difficult to do.

While I liked most of the characters in this book I felt it weird that it was written with an arranged marriage. Who does that these days? I felt so bad for Cam having his choices and freedom decided by someone else.

Well written with a lot of drama and some suspense made this book and o.k. read.

Blurb: When the pack is attacked, Asher hunts the one responsible, however, fate has other plans as it throws not one but two obstacles his way in the form of male mates—one human, one vampire. Lies are uncovered and truths shared as Asher’s fears about what is to come are confirmed.

Asher is used to being overlooked and not taken seriously as the joker brother. It doesn’t usually bother him. When the pack house is attacked, Asher takes on the mission to hunt down the one responsible. He is tired of their enemy having the upper hand. If he can hunt down Kimi, then they may finally be a step ahead. The only problem is that he can’t only think about himself now because a confession from a wayward pup causes him to become a guardian of a teenager.

Things only get more complicated when a human named Tyler helps him out in a night club to corner Kimi and gets kidnapped for his trouble. Asher is given a choice—trade newly caught Kimi or Tyler dies.

Corralling an uncooperative Kimi gets him up close and personal with the vampire, but instead of wringing his neck like he wants to, Asher finds himself drawn to the unmistakable scent of his mate.

If that wasn’t enough to test him, the proof the kidnappers deliver to him comes with a stunning revelation—Tyler is also his mate.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Blood Moon Pack Alliance Series collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

For me once I start reading I can’t move until I find out how they end. These characters are also very fascinating and unique to me. To top it off it aren’t just two sexy men but three in this mating.

Asher’s life is about to get more complicated. He goes to talk to the coven and ends up bringing home Jake to live with shifters. On the way he finds this vampire that not only captures his attention but he senses danger there also. Kimi is a traitor to the coven and to the pack, or that is what everyone assumes.

Kimi runs and Asher goes to find him. Taking with him his newly adopted teenage son. To his surprise he finds a human and saves his ass from kidnappers, only to find out that the man is his mate. Then to make matters even crazier it would seem Kimi is their mate also. Kimi has a major secret that could get them all killed but his mates are determined to help him in all ways.

Now I must admit that I wasn’t too sure about Kimi. He had a darkness to him that made him seem even guiltier then normal added to the fact that he even made Jake weary and I thought for sure he was evil. Then once you get to know him, you can see that he is the perfect mate for the others. I wasn’t really sure about this story because of the dark tone, but that only lasted a total of five seconds.

I would definitely recommend reading this book.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Blurb: Things are not always what they look like.

Adan has been in a catatonic state ever since the pride rescued him from one of Glass’ labs—or at least that’s what everyone thinks, even the doctors. Jared has tried to find a solution for a year, but Adan isn’t getting better. Jared’s last resource is finding Adan’s mate, and when he finally does, things start changing.

Yanis has been asked to check if he’s Adan’s mate, and when he finds out he is, he’s scared. He wants his mate to be better, but he has no idea how to help. Adan seems to be breaking down, though, so Yanis spends time with him, until something happens.

Adan has locked himself in his own mind, scared of what he’d do if he didn’t. He already hurt two men, and the last thing he wants is a repeat of that, but his mate’s presence by his side is making staying in his mind hard. Still, Adan has every intention of doing just that, but the power he’s been trying to suppress flares out, and Yanis is hit.

When Adan finally comes out of his self-imposed isolation, he’s immediately put to work. Time is running out to find the mole, and Adan helps as well as he can, but will it be enough?

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Every once in a while you find an author that can give you a world that would be perfect to live in. Lievens gives you hot sex, lots of love and tenderness, mixed in with excitement, adventure and lots of dangerous situations. Anywhere from bigots to evil scientist bent on experimenting on shifters to changing the DNA.

They are not only the perfect length for me, but they are so full of detail that it feels like you are right there with them. They not only entertain you but captivate you throughout the whole story. For me once I start reading I can’t move until I find out how they end. Her characters are also very fascinating and unique to me.

Adan had come in a year ago in a catatonic state, or that was what they assumed. So Dom and the others decided to bring in all the single shifters to see if his mate was one of them. These guys are in for more than just one surprise from this sexy little bobcat.

Yanis is his mate and awakens what is deep inside of him that he had been hiding. Something given to him by the scientist, something that scared the living hell out of him.

I would definitely recommend reading this book.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5Hearts

Blurb: When you lose your fated mate, will you be brave enough to accept a second chance?

Persian cat shifter Thony Cavanaugh has been in love with his best friend, Alan Abramowitz, for three years. Although Thony and Alan are fated mates, only Thony seems to feel the bond between them. Afraid of getting rejected by the strong beta, Thony doesn’t have the guts to confront Alan with his feelings. But everyone has a breaking point.

Alan reached that point sixteen years earlier, when he met his mate, the biker Jon, only to lose him to a terrible accident. Jon’s death almost killed Alan, and it left his heart battered and bruised. Oblivious to the connection he shares with Thony, and suppressing his feelings for the Persian cat to keep his heart intact, Alan spends his life working as beta and accountant for Alpha Xander. After all, shifters don’t get a second chance. Or so he thinks.

Then a fight between the two friends gets out of hand. Thony pushes Alan away, demanding they take a break from each other. And suddenly, Alan realizes that losing Thony could break his heart for good.

If you like fickle cats and enjoy stubborn men who have to fight for their happiness, don’t miss this shifter romance!

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: I loved 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 this amazing author.

When Alan had been eighteen he had found and lost his mate in one night. Fear and anger overtook him to the point that he lost his feelings in one night stands. He had left his home to heal and it leads him to a new life. He had the hots for Thony, but feared he would lose him when Thony had found his mate. So when he was asked for something more, he turned him down not knowing that they were mates.

Thony had known from the start Alan was his mate, but he never said a word feeling that Alan had known. For a couple of years he sits in the background with his heart being shredded, not knowing that Alan had no clue. Miscommunication between these two is a major problem.

It isn’t until Thony was distancing himself that Alan realized he had to take a chance. I bet once he figures it out he will be smacking himself upside the head.

I always did love a good romance that didn’t have the couple falling in love right from the start. I loved how they had to make it work. It was the perfect story for me and I loved it.

I can’t wait to read the next story.

Blurb: Out of the Cage: Sometimes love needs a little coaxing to grow.

Stake Dolan has worked as a firefighter for almost a decade. He knows he’s loud, brash, and occasionally abrasive, not that he tries to be. Sometimes, he just blurts stuff out without thinking. His thoughtless words get him in trouble, and the chief orders him to help with the clean-up of some of the local hiking trailheads.

At one of them, Dolan meets Cecil Rochette. The friendly man makes a pass at him, but Dolan quickly shuts him down. A few of his fellow firefighters are gay, but he is not. Still, while he doesn’t know why, there’s something about the guy that arouses him. When Cecil keeps popping up in his path, interrupting his life, he begins to wonder what it’d be like to give in to the mischievous man’s advances.

Will doing something so different be worth the price, especially when no one has been able to tolerate his mouth for long?

Review: Each book in the 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.

Stake can’t keep his mouth and is always getting in trouble for it. This time it ended up with him getting suspended for three days and having to help the parks department out. He had not ever thought that he was gay, seeing as he has never looked at a man. So when he meets Cecil his life is about to change. Change in more ways than one.

Cecil is a wolf shifter who loves his family, has a big heart and finds a kitten to bring home. A kitten among a group of wolves and an Andrean cat. Should make for an interesting time. Then he smells his mate and things are about to get interesting. Now all he needs is a ball gag for Stake.

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

Kazy Reed has now topped my number five favorite paranormal romance writers. This story rocked perfectly. It has its serious tone but damn did I spend most of my time laughing my ass off.

Jake is the son to two vampires but so far is still human. However times are still hard for them and even worse when you are a teenager. Trouble at school has finally taught him that it is just not worth it. He didn’t really have any friends and had just been outed at school for being gay. To his surprise it would seem he had one friend he had not expected.

Will had always liked Jake but was afraid to show him. He comes to the conclusion that his parents are slayers and must warn Jake’s family. Things don’t go completely as planned for it seems Will is not who he thinks he is.

I absolutely loved this story and can’t wait to see if there are more coming. It gave me sexy vampires, excitement, quirky family members, danger and some hot sex. I loved all the characters in this story and if I could I would definitely give this a higher than five rating.

I loved this book and would definitely recommend it.

Blurb: Sometimes the past refuses to stay buried, and sometimes it comes back to bite you in the ass.

Eli is an ancient vampire with an ego the size of a planet and a sex drive to match, but his tumultuous past left him broken, so he hides from humanity and cowers from love, left to endure the crushing guilt that haunts his every waking moment. Even his best friend Malachi, a ghost who is hopelessly in love with Eli, remains unaware of all that transpired in London. Malachi can never know the truth.

When the Angel Daniyyel pays an unwelcome visit, Eli must face his secrets, secrets that he has tried so long to hide. To make matters worse, a chance encounter with the most beautiful man he has ever seen shatters his beloved isolation, pushing him into the world of the living once more.

Something about this strange man seems so familiar, but Eli can’t even remember who he was before he became a vampire, never mind explain the unwanted emotions the enigmatic stranger ignites in his dead heart.

So Eli has a choice—return to the world that ruined him, or continue his self-imposed exile with no hope of salvation.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the first book in the Dead Camp series.

This was an interesting story. Eli an ancient vampire who has a past shrouded in mystery. There are a few characters in the book that aid Eli through his journey.

A mysterious young man shows up and Eli tries to remember if he knows him or not. He feels as though he should. I liked the history aspect of the story. It’s set in Germany when Nazi’s occupied it. So it definitely had its dark side throughout the story. There are Angels, demons, vampires and ghosts in this story.

There were surprising twists that had me on the edge of my seat awaiting the outcome. I loved the story except for the m/f part. Although I liked the book I did not like the brief m/f scene. There was no need for it and I’m an m/m reader only.

Great read.

Tate Locklear has worked as a vampire enforcer at his coven for almost two centuries. He’s ready for a change of pace. When his master calls for volunteers to protect shifters in the forest, he thinks it’s the something new that he needs.

Tate discovers it’s so much more when the scent of a reclusive leopard shifter’s blood calls to him. Somehow, he must convince the pretty kitty known as Psion, that staying in human form longer than it takes to open and close a door can be extremely pleasurable and beneficial to both of them.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the eighth book in A Loving Nip.

When asked for volunteers to go to Alpha Dorian’s to help protect shifters that had been abused vampire Tate doesn’t hesitate to agree to the mission. Once there he meets sexy Psion, a clouded leopard shifter.

Psion has been held captive in a cage most of life by witches since he was twelve. Finally rescued he is learning things about his new world when he meets the handsome Tate. Psion has a problem with blood as a result of his captivity. I loved that Tate tried his best to ease Psion’s fears.

Most of the book is about these two getting to know one another with a little action thrown in from rogue shifters threatening the pack.

Although I enjoyed this well written story, I felt it was rushed and the actions scenes were too short.

Heat Level: Moderate

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥5 Hearts

Merle’s body has been healed, but his mind hasn’t, and he’s struggling with everyday life and nightmares. Add to that an overbearing mother, and his life is a mess.

Nootaw left his Wendigo tribe a year before, but even though he hasn’t hurt anyone since then, people still regard him with fear and disgust. Not even moving to Gillham changed that, but he’s use to it by now. When Nootaw is asked to help find Merle, he doesn’t expect Merle to take a sniff at him and tell him they’re mates. Nootaw isn’t sure what to do with Merle, because everyone knows Wendigoes don’t have mates.

Merle insists on giving Nootaw a chance, even though he might lose his mother over it. Then Nootaw disappears, reappearing with someone Merle hadn’t expected. Will Merle be able to leave his nightmares behind and be the man Nootaw needs him to be? And will Nootaw manage to get used to a life he’d never thought he could have?

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Wendigo’s are known to be man eaters, most don’t understand that they don’t have to eat people but can survive on animals. Most of them don’t want to try it though, but Nootaw and his brother were the exception. His brother had never eaten a human before but Nootaw had. Now he was considered a monster.

Merle has been kidnapped not once but twice, and he was having nightmares from it. Not to mention his family and friends were trying too hard to help him. His mother was especially suffocating him by it. So when he finds out that his mate is Nootaw things go crazy. He knows it will be hard but they can get by it. Then his nightmares are coming for him in the name of Tom.

I love the way all the feelings they felt were involved in this story. I can’t wait to read the next story.

I would definitely recommend reading this book.

Review: Each book in the Masters of Dragon’s collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

This series started out perfectly, but quite frankly this one was a big disappointment. I cannot understand why an author thinks that having more than one partner is needed.

Things change when Avery and Oren get taken by Avery’s old clan. Things heat up and well you can guess. It started out just fine until Avery got with Oren. To me even though it is accepted in the clan, I still think it is cheating. So yes I was very sad to see this happen.

Even though it is well written, it is really too damn short for anything more than a taste. However I am glad that all I got was a taste because when I got to the middle I was quite disappointed.

I am afraid that if this is going to happen in the rest of the stories, I am no longer interested in reading it.

Darin by Catherine Lievens

Title: Darin

Author: Catherine Lievens
Genre: Paranormal/ Shapeshifter
Length: Novella (126 Pages)
Publisher: Extasy Books (February 29, 2016)
Heat Level: Moderate
Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥5 Hearts
Blurb: Sometimes you need to listen only to your heart rather than to what other people say.

Darin hasn’t actively been looking for his mate, even though he wants nothing more than to meet him. He’s lonely and he works too much, so he’s been hoping for a miracle—for his mate to walk into his bakery. It hasn’t worked yet, but then a man walks into the mansion’s kitchen and declares he’s Darin’s mate, and Darin gets the miracle he’s been waiting for.

Ira has known Darin was his mate for a few months, but he’s been burned by people who should’ve loved him before, so he took his time before deciding to talk to him. Now that he knows Darin won’t hurt him, he takes advantage of a trip to Whitedell to finally properly meet his mate.

Darin and Ira don’t wait to mate, even though they know their families might not be happy about it. But what their families think isn’t their only problem, and when the hunters attack again, Ira will need to fight for his mate and his friends.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the 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. I would also recommend reading Gillham Pack because all the characters are mixed up in them both.

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 Catherine. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. To me there is nothing better than a good romance, but when it is a paranormal then it hits higher marks to me.

Darin is a cute sugar glider shifter and he has found his mate. The funny part is his mate Ira is a snake shifter. I get a kick out of the types of shifters in these series. At least Darin doesn’t have to worry that his mate will eat him, well at least not the way most predators eat their prey.

When Catherine puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. I would definitely recommend reading this book.

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

Manuel is trying to take out a drug lord who is using shifters. He needs the man’s weakness, but when he finds out the man has a son things get more interesting. Sydney is his mate.

I have read the stories these two authors have out together, and I have to admit that they do have away about them. There is so much promise in them but unfortunately the follow through is not so hot. They start out pretty damn good but then they just seem to fizzle out.

I was hoping that as time went by the books would get better but so far they are coming off pretty much the same. The same problems that is. They just come off very rushed and not fully developed.

I was a bit disappointed in this story but am holding out for the next one.
