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. This story is branched off to several other series, so you might want to check those out also.

Just a sweet little story to rock your world. Vince wanted to plan the perfect Christmas gift for his mate. He just had not expected to get hurt before hand, but thanks to his friends and pack mates things might look up. He has the best wolf shifter mate and a darling little boy, and things are going perfect for the vampire. Frankie is going to love it.

Now this shows you how the perfect secret is wanted. I got a kick out of this story and was glad to see the tough vampire and cute shifter in it. I also loved to see the little boys reaction as well. Perfect story to warm up the winter cold. I had a lot of fun with it and would definitely read it again and again.

Review: Each book in the Assassin’s Loyalty 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 is a branch off of the Lost Shifter series and Wayne County Wolves.

Stephani is one hell of an author. Her stories have amazing depth to them and the characters are drool worthy. The worlds she creates are one that I would love to live in. They just grab your attention and keep it there till the very end. She also gives you characters that have strength but not just physical. Some of her characters have been through hell and deserve the ending they get.

Tomin is a tiger shifter and an assassin. He is also one of the youngest so he has to deal with the leaders driving him nuts. He thinks that he is not worth anything but always ready to crack a joke. However his past always keeps stuck in his head. And now it looks like his past might be coming back to get him.

Remus is a sugar glider and a twin. He learned early on how to block certain things from his brother and one of them was the way he had been treated by their family. Or I should say one certain family member who wanted to teach them to be assassin’s. He feels like certain parts have been beaten out of him, and his emotions are one of them.

You put these two together and things are going to get real interesting. Now all they have to do is to stop the danger coming for Tomin and to get their hearts to realize that they are perfect for each other.

I think Tomin is one of the best characters that I have read for this particular series. There is just something about him, that even though he is an assassin he still has a big heart. He was taken down but got himself right back up. I enjoyed reading this book and can not wait to get my hands on the next book. Way to go Stephani, another hit with me.

Blurb: The Blackwood Pack saga continues…

This is part of an on-going series and reading the previous titles is advised. Readers of the past books will enjoy meeting old friends once more as the pack does what it does best ̶ caring for each other.

Slate, one of the last Dire Wolves, has carved out a life which suits him fine—plenty of traveling to exotic locations and an abundance of one night stands to handle his needs. While he’s happy for his brother, who has found his Fated Mate, Slate isn’t interested in finding his—at least not for a long time. That is, until his body betrays him. Seeking his mother’s help—who is an Oracle—Slate pays a visit to the Blackwood Pack where he finds the Fates have once again, messed with his life.

Dakota, the chef for the Blackwood Pack, fell in love with cooking as a young child and ultimately the kitchen became a place of refuge for him. Suffering with a ‘curse’ through much of his childhood, he relied heavily on his mother’s help to deal with it. After the massacre of his mother and siblings by their greedy uncle, Dakota barely survives, but finally forges a life for himself, content to stay home and take care of the people he loves.

A long-hidden secret, rejection of a mate, acceptance of rare gifts, and a brutal kidnapping are just some of the obstacles Dakota and Slate must battle together to save their relationship. As the pack rallies around them, both must learn to trust the other before they can find the happiness that the Fates have ordained for them…

Shorty’s Review: 💖💖💖💖💖 4 3/4 Hearts

Slate finds that fate is once again interfering in his life as he is sent toward his mate. Dakota, a chef of the Blackwood pack, has a lifetime of worry tagging along for the ride as he carves out a new life for himself after surviving the massacre by his uncle.

I loved these two characters. They fought, they loved, they conquered. Such an amazing ride to witness as these two struggle to make it through what life has thrown their way to achieve happiness with the other.

I have enjoyed the entire series so far. Adventurous, mysterious, and romance plus a slew of other genres thrown into the mix to make for an interesting series.

Great read.

Lisa’s Review: 💖💖💖💖 3.5 Hearts

Slate loves to travel and help other packs. He is one of the last dire wolves and has a destiny to finish in a way. He wants his mate and knows that one of the gifts given to him is for his mate to become pregnant. However he doesn’t want one right off the bat or so he thinks. When he finds his mate on a visit home. The gods give many gifts and he is about to be surprised.

Dakota is an empath and the worst is the fear and pain of others. His gift is more of a curse to him. His father is one of the evils of the world and he felt it all. The hate that he had for his family and the fact that he just loved to cause pain in his sons. When he figures out who his mate is, he panics. He knows Slate doesn’t want one but he can’t stay hidden forever.

I had a few issues with the story that made me want to just give up on the story. The jump from one character to the next drove me nuts and the fact that the author reiterated certain parts over and over was a bit overdone. There were certain words used for pecs and sex that made me think a teen was writing the story. The word tits for pecs made the stupid come out. It made me think the author was wishing for females then the guys in the story. There was just more information in the story than was needed and it made me want to put the book down. It made the story feel like the author just threw it in to make the book longer and it didn’t do it any justice. You could have the danger that showed up in there without the need to float back and forth in the story. It took away from the characters in the end. I was glad that the guys got their happy ending but the way the story was told made me want to pitch the whole series.

The world that the author created was amazing but the way the story was told not so much. Information overload is what I think of. I will admit that this story is not one of those that will be read more than once and that was a let down. The story would have been a five if it had not had to much added in to make word count. I am sorry but for right now this story is not what it should have been or where it should have been at.

Blurb: Clint Might never dreamed when he rescued a kidnapped girl that he would also find the man of his dreams, but pursuing the handsome detective was a really bad idea. When trouble brings them together, Clint has to decide whether to share his secret with the man or let him go for good.

Detective Bobby Allen was tired of fighting so hard to solve crimes when everything he does seems wrong. When he’s questioned about a man who rescued him and then left him after a kiss that shook him to his toes, Bobby sees it as a chance to find out more about the mysterious man, and maybe get more than a kiss.

But there’s a mystery surrounding the Might brothers, one Bobby is desperate to solve. When Clint’s secret is finally revealed, it brings a threat with it that could kill them before they even have a chance to admit their feelings. Only by working with together can they stay alive long enough to admit they are perfect for each other.

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

Clint and his brothers go in and rescue those who need help. Many years ago their mother and father worked for a lab that did research and experiments on those who volunteered. The only way it didn’t happen is if the women were pregnant. The scientist had no clue what would happen to an unborn child. However there was one scientist that didn’t believe in all that, he wanted to know what happens. So Clint’s parents ran, except his father didn’t make it. So rescuing a child also leads him to his mate.

Bobby is a detective who just wants the truth. He sees something wrong and he checks it out. To bad this time it gets him into trouble. Being held hostage and then getting saved, leads him to some pretty amazing surprises. One is he has a mate, a mate that turns into a jaguar. Now if they can all survive the trouble coming, well you will have to read this story. There is also a very nice surprise for our guys.

I started reading romance when I was twelve and fell in love with the magic of a written story. I have always been fascinated by the worlds that were created. I came across m/m romance just a few years ago and I have found that I prefer them over any other book. Every once in awhile you find an author that just gets the story right. Stormy has been one of my favorite authors for quite sometime and is one that I automatically purchase as soon as they come out. So when I found out about this book, I knew that I had to grab it. The stories she creates is fascinating and very tempting for me. The characters are fully developed and seem to just have this extra zest about them that makes them even hotter.

There is a serious tone to it but there is some humor to be found within. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything I could possibly want in a story and so much more. I had a lot of fun with it and would definitely recommend it. I can’t wait till the next story comes out.

Heart Rating: 💖💖💖💖💖 5 Hearts

Blurb: Jeremy Myde is a shifter and FPA agent. When a new blood serum, with the ability to change humans into vampires, is discovered, Jeremy helps the team investigate. During the course of the investigation, Jeremy faces several obstacles. The most challenging of which is his mate.

Although Jeremy is desperate to mark and claim Roman, he keeps the young man at arm’s length afraid to make the final step.

After recovering from the physical and emotional abuse he endured at the hands of a rogue shifter, Roman is finally ready to move on with his life.

To prove his strength, Roman starts training to become an FPA agent.

ISBN: 978-1-64010-807-3

Product Link: Siren-BookStrand | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Jeremy is a FPA agent and a shifter, he remembers when he found Roman and the shape he was in. Roman had been raped, beaten, and starved. The moment his friend brought him out, Jeremy knew that he had found his mate. He was just afraid to claim the man due to what had happened. He didn’t want to scare or hurt his little mate. However his lizard knew that the man was his mate, and wasn’t letting him out of his sight.

Roman remembered the time of his capture, but that did not mean he was going to let it define him. He wanted his mate to claim him, and if becoming an agent would help to prove he was strong then so be it.

The story is well rounded and fully developed. The characters are charming, fierce and damn sexy. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I got a big kick out of Jeremy’s animal side, what a cutie, for a very big lizard. This is probably one of my favorite types of series, full of action and excitement, some hot sex and add in the danger and damn if I am not eating it up.

I had a blast reading this and can not wait to get my hands on the next book. I would definitely recommend this.

Blurb: You can now have all four of the MM Lake Erie pack novellas in this one reasonably priced collection! Included in the set are the previously released novellas An Erie Halloween, An Erie Operetta, and An Erie Garden Party. To round off this whimsical and romantic shifter set is a brand-new novella, An Erie Uprising!

It’s been one wonderfully romantic year since skunk shifter Templeton Reed met Mikel Lupei, the alpha wolf of the Lake Erie pack. During that year, the two men fell in love and worked side-by-side to solve some tricky murder mysteries. They also opened up Lupei Manor, Mikel’s familial home, to other LGBTQ mystical beings in the Erie area. Sadly, being gay in the supernatural world Templeton and Mikel live in can be a death sentence.

During the past year, the magical world has slowly been coming unraveled. Civil unrest now runs rampant through the community as the lesser breeds revolt against the hateful dictates of the Elder Counsel. The uprising will surely touch every person residing in the magical world beside Lady Erie. Will the flames of unrest and war consume everything and everyone Templeton and Mikel hold dear as well?

Reviewer: Prime

Review: I love reading VL Locey’s books. In fact, I actually got my hands on a couple of these novellas when they first came out, but since I’d never read the first one I never got the full background. In the last couple years I’ve been devouring Locey’s ice hockey based books, so this was a nice change of pace, although I absolutely adore many of her other books.

This collection, An Erie Collection, brings together the first three novellas of the Lake Erie Shifters series, in addition to a new story: An Erie Halloween, An Erie Operetta, An Erie Garden Party and An Erie Uprising.

In An Erie Halloween, cute little skunk shifter Templeton Reed meets wolf shifter Mikel Lupei and the couple fall in love and mate. In An Erie Operetta, Mikel wants his pack to be classy and proposes a night out at the opera. This means suit fittings and all sorts of hijinks. In An Erie Garden Party, spring may have come and melted the snow away, but a new comer to the pack means that everyone is in danger. However, the question is, why is the new comer a danger. That answer leads us to the new novella in the series, An Erie Uprising. The pack manor is now providing shelter to other LGBTQ paranormal creatures. However, not all is good in the paranormal world because their way of life is fast coming undone. Templeton and Mikel have to fight to keep their new pack together as well as somehow battle the outside forces threatening their peace and harmony.

Templeton is the heart of this series, he is sweet and funny. When it comes to having to deal with members of his and his mate’s pack it’s usually pretty damn funny. Because let’s face it, the skunk is feisty and the wolves are grumpy! At the heart of it, these are some cute stories that are a mix of sweetness and some harsh realities which are faced by the shifters of Lake Erie. Mainly, these guys have to deal with homophobia and the fact that to many shifters, same sex relationships are outlawed. When I say cute, I mean it in the fact that these novellas are full of hope and there is a happy ending for the two MCs.

Review: Each book in the Eternal Flame collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This series is also connected to Eternal Flame Maddox and Kaliss collections.

Benji is a normal demon who has his best friends, his favorite hellhound who loves him and the best pet in the world. Then it all went to hell when fate decided he was to be the chosen one. Now every single demon except for his best friends wanted to mate him. His friends helped him get to safety. He knew the chosen one got three mates but he hadn’t expected to find them all at once.

Robert is the doctor for the whole town and never seems to get a minute to breathe. He hated humans and especially dragons. To him the dragons took his wife and two babies so he had good reason for hating the dragons, and now he had to obey one. One more call telling him to get his ass to the diner and damn he has found his mates. And hell one of them is a dragon.

Asbuth is gargoyle shifter and pretty much an easy guy to be around. So can you imagine his expression when he walks into the diner. Casius and his brother had lost their parents to the old war and had been pretty much raised in a gypsy tribe. Now they were in a town full of the paranormal with their two best friends, who were human. Then the surprises keep coming.

When I received this book I will admit that I went back to the very first book and started reading them all over again. I am not a fan of stories that have more then three lovers in them so it was not a big hit with me as it should have been. That aside it was pretty entertaining and I laughed my ass off at Benji and Timmy’s animals. The worlds these authors created are exciting and down right hot. I loved the characters and the way they are with each other. I will admit that Timmy will always be my favorite though. Benji comes real close though. With this story you get some hot sexy times, danger, adventure, excitement, entertainment and some sweet loving. It gave me everything I could want in a story and so much more.

I had a blast reading this and can guarantee that it will be read more than once. I would definitely recommend this and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Everything goes to hell in a handbasket–fast–and he ends up on the wrong side of a huge pack of wolf shifters…and a demon! Taken to the pack house for questioning, Ranger just knows he’s facing certain death. His terror is only exceeded by his sadness that his failure could also mean the death of his brother. To Ranger’s shock, his interrogation and torture is interrupted by a stranger–a shifter claiming to be his mate–a shifter who isn’t even a wolf. Ashton is an American kestrel shifter–a small raptor who’s an alpha in his own right. While Ranger appreciates that Ashton seems willing to fight on his behalf, even if he can clear up the mess with the wolves, how can he manage to save his brother and find a life with his male mate, too?

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. This series is branched of to Kontra’s Menagerie, A Paranormal’s Love and so forth.

Ranger is a jackal shifter whose boss is basically evil. To keep his brother and his brother’s mate safe, he must kill and then set up the Wolves of Stone Ridge pack. To be precise, it is their alpha that is to be blamed for killing the council man. To bad he fails or should one say it is good news. It would seem he has found his mate.

Ashton is one of the bird shifters that the pack rescued from Russia. He is the alpha of his little group, but they still answer to Alpha Declan. He goes to give information and ends up finding his mate. A mate that is in trouble.

There is nothing better then a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. I love the way this author can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws 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 their mates with their entire lives.

I absolutely love this book almost as much as I have loved the other’s in this series. I can’t wait to read the next story. When Charlie Richards 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 bit of humor in them that I love. I would definitely recommend reading this book.

Blurb: Galen is next in line for the throne of the Earth Kingdom. With father ready to relinquish the throne, Galen must be mated. His father had already arranged a mate for him to meet and bond with. However, Galen has done his utmost to forget about said arranged mating until his father leaves him no choice but to fetch his mate home.

Finc is the illegitimate son of a noble and a low born woman. The half-brother to Galen’s arranged fiancé. Life had not been kind to him at all since his birth. However, with his mother, at least he had known love of the motherly kind, for a time, but all good things never lasted for long, especially in his case, and his only refuge against his reality was his writing and his best friend, Jory. That was, until the day he met Galen and knew deep in his bones that this was his fated mate.

Having his fated mate be his half-brother’s fiancé was so far off what he expected, but how would they ever have an acceptable bond when Finc’s biological father, as well as his step-family, were not willing to have the half-brothers trade places?

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

I have never really been a fan of books with the fae in them, or should I say where they are the main characters. Galen is to be the King of the Earth Kingdom, once his father steps down. He was to bond with someone of higher standing, but the moment he saw Finc well lets just say there are going to be some pissed off people.

Finc was the result of a highbred noble man and a very poor woman who was not like him. She showed Finc the love that a child needed, but his father took that life away from him. He was brought to the man’s home and now had a stepmother and half brother, neither really cared for him. He thought it would never change, that is until he saw his half-brothers intended mate. Sparks are sure to fly.

It is a tale that has been told over and over, just in different ways. There was nothing really unique to this story, other than the characters themselves. However it is a very entertaining tale that will have you smiling. I liked the touch of danger near the end of the story, but for me it was a fun little book. All in all, I hate to admit that this story really didn’t do anything for me. It didn’t catch my attention like it should have, but that is just my opinion for my desires of the book.

The characters however were the part that rocked. Their mixing was a bit strange, but I always liked Finc and Galen, and knew that they had a story to tell. I just wished it called to me a bit more then it did.
