Blurb: Ethan Stone, lion shifter, had lived many lives. He’d been a biker, musician, and an Umbran, or shadow hunter. Everything changed two years ago when a nightclub fire killed the members of his rock band and left him the only survivor. Now scarred and living the solitary life of a nomad, Ethan just wants to be left alone in his isolated world.

 

Daric McNamee, a cheetah shifter and also an Umbran, has been given an assignment. Ethan Stone. Find out what happened the night of the fire and recruit Stone back into the Umbran. Not an easy task considering Ethan is stubborn and wary. Almost immediately, both men feel a mate connection, but the last thing Daric wants is to be a submissive to a scarred, terminally angry lion shifter.

However, the attraction between them can’t be denied—though Ethan tries. When it comes time for them to part, will they admit they are mates? Can Daric convince Ethan he is more than a stone cold beast?

Review: This is part two in a wonderful series and should be read in order. The first book is in The Alpha’s Claim: Manlove Edition Anthology.

 

I really liked book one and I love this book just a bit more. It gives you wonderful characters who you will fall in love. They have the abilities to overcome all their pain and turn it into a blessing. Ethan was an Umbran, usually undercover doing all sorts of things. Bier, musician, shadow hunter didn’t matter when the nightclub fire killed everyone except himself. He always felt cold and alone. He didn’t know if there was anything in him left to care for another.

When Daric showed up to take his statement concerning the fire, he was pissed to say the least. What he had not expected was the lust he could smell in the air. Could he take the chance, could he just make a one night stand or should he kick him out. What he had not expected was the fact that they were mates.

 

This story is cute and very tender. I would recommend this to anyone who loves shapeshifters, vampires, the paranormal world, two hot and sexy men, and great sex. I do love this series, wished it was a bit longer though. I love to lose myself into a story and this one made it an enjoyable trip.

Lisa’s Review: This is book three of this series and they need to be read in order. It gives you an insight into the characters and the story itself. It is an amazing series to read. I love the fact that Lyssa gives you such wonderful characters to fall in love with. It seems like each character has a pain from the past that they are going through.

In this one, Bryce had been attacked a few months prior and was scared to even let someone touch him. He had the help of his friends to ease some of the fears. However, he was afraid of even the thought of dating. So on the night he saw Daxton he ran from him. However as he was leaving he did look back to see the man with a lot of pain in his expression. He had to think of what to do. With the help of his best friend, he let Daxton in to his life.

Daxton was a prince of Sanzel, warrior and protector Mohar. However, Mohar had been hurting Daxton every time Daxton went against him. When he found his mate, he was full of happiness, but it hurt him when his mate feared him. With a lot of patience, he would get his mate to understand he is loved and protected.

He also needed to tell Bryce about who he is and where he is from. Now that is a funny story to hear. It had to take a healing from Daxton to prove to Bryce that he was telling the truth. Then the change came on and Bryce learned that the men of Sanzel could get pregnant. Could you imagine someone’s expression when they hear that a man can have a baby? There are many things that they have to talk about but the one thing that they will never have to question is the love that they feel.

It is an amazing story and I cannot wait to read book four. I have found another series that I have fallen in love with and am glad to have them added in my library. It will catch your attention from the start and will keep it all the way to the end. I would recommend this story if you love the paranormal worlds, two very sexy men, hot sex and a bit of danger involved. It has the perfect amount of all that and more in this book. I can guarantee that you will fall in love with it and the others. Lyssa has a wonderful gift at telling a story.

 

Eric’s Review: I found this book very delicious. I had never a Lyssa Samuels novel, but I loved this one to death. Couldn’t get enough of both Bryce and Daxton. I found myself able to identify with Bryce with how shy he was. We all have our inner geeks for something and it made me love Bryce as a character that much more.

I loved the solid plot as well. I cannot wait to read another novel by her. Her novels are fantastic and highly recommended.

Blurb: Sully Handover’s a pure-blooded vampire reluctantly groomed to be a courtesan to humans. He’s spent a lifetime believing humans are lesser beings, but when he’s chosen by the gorgeous and kind Master Adrian, he might have to rethink that theory. Especially since, he can’t stop secretly lusting after his new master.

Review: This story is had me going all excited and then simply deflate as it came near the end.

Eighty percent of the read was enticing and genuinely interesting, with vampires that even as they didn’t match my views on vampires, were still a new view and made me want to read them. Then suddenly it felt as if the author got tired of writing and hurriedly rushed through the sex scene, attaching an abrupt end too for good measure. It ruined it all for me just as I was thinking that this title – though short – was exciting in his depiction of vampires.

So let’s see. Vampires being groomed to serve human Masters? It makes you think the world went mad. It makes you think kinky stuff is in the menu. Don’t, no such things happens. In this weird world Vampires and Humans have an agreement. Humans provide women for breeding because Vampires are having trouble with that, and Vampires in return provide young males for sexual purposes, because once you’ve had a vampire, everything else pales.

Sully, though he has known his entire life that he was born to be sent as a courtesan, has been also in one huge freaking denial that comes to an end when he becomes of age. His anger though is great and when his turn to be paraded like livestock at the auction comes, he flat out threatens every human in the house that they are in danger of getting sucked dry if they pick him.

Interesting! My whole attention was in this read because come on, how can you not when a bloodthirsty vampire goes mad? Even better, he still is picked up and I’m thinking, “Yes, things are turning interesting” waiting for the explosion to come. Unfortunately, it never showed up. No big BOOM here, no sensual, erotic, passionate, mind-blowing vamp sex either. Yes, when Sully and Adrian came together could have been hot, if it wasn’t for the flash-like pace and insensible interaction that preceded them.

Also, the story completely loses its thread for a while. Sully has been in Adrian’s house for one night during the entire read, yet the afternoon of the next day, when Sully finally succumbs to his attraction for the human, Adrian admits that he went crazy all these past days waiting for Sully to love on him. Trust me, I went back and re-read the whole story. It was all in the matter of one day.

Anyway, while this read had potential, it ended up being yet another plot-less sex-scene with a back-story that would make no difference if it wasn’t even written in the first place, since the end was quite detached from the whole plot.

Blurb:  Thrown into a world of paranormal of violence, there’s only one thing to do: create your own destiny.

Sebastian has been tossed into the thick of a war between the Birds of Prey and Blood Demons. He’s heard it all about fate, destiny, and this is how it’s going to be. Oh, hell no, it isn’t. Sebastian has his connections and will use them to help him and his mate Wren solve the problem of the mates’ loss of freedom.

Wren has been drawn to Sebastian since he laid eyes on him. Hurt by his refusal to even be near him, Wren feels at a loss of what to do until he follows Sebastian one night. Wren discovers that Sebastian may have been in this world a lot longer than they all ever knew.

Review: Now this installment of Birds of Prey was a nice surprise after the slight disappointment of the earlier ones. I suppose having a flock created by Athena it is bound to be a greater agenda behind the scenes, an agenda that now is reaching our eyes.

This book follows Wren and his fated mate Sebastian. Honestly I groaned a bit inwardly when I read the blurb, as Sebastian made it pretty clear on the previous installment that he does NOT want a mate, therefore causing me a bit of wariness for the upcoming fights between the inevitable lovers. However, as I said I was pleasantly surprised as Sebastian proved to be more, much, much more than reaches the eye. He (thankfully) is not the weak mortal mate in distress being haunted by the blood demons who desperately needs his immortal one to save the day every little step of the way. Nope, Sebastian can perfectly stand up to his enemies by himself. What with his Father and brother making an appearance, promising more to come I have the impression this is turning to be one exciting turn of events.

As for Wren, well his insecurities are still there – they do come with the little wren thing – but he manages to get over that fact and not cause lots of drama, thus allowing us to focus on his relationship with Sebastian and the action that takes place.

Again being totally honest, I must say that while this installment was a great, great improvement from the previous one, with the plot picking up and becoming highly interesting, Gods and Demi-Gods coming in to play and finally the mates not being all prey for the Demons, I still found Sebastian and the story around him not properly exploited. Some of the explanations given between the couple felt rather hasty and rushed, simply stated and over with, and that gave cause for a bit of detachment. I am having a feeling that we will see more in the future though so I’m reserving judgment, but I can’t help feel that these books should have been a bit bigger, a bit more.

As it is, my interest is highly spiced and though I began reading this book with the thought let’s give this series another try I ended up fascinated and anticipating what is to come. Please let it be Fallon and Raven.

Review: Preston is planning on heading over to his good friend’s house for her fourth annual Halloween party when he comes across a cat in distress. He rescues the cat and ends up taking it home with him. As soon as he gets home, he finds himself shocked to see the cat having turned into a sexy man who made him both confused and incredibly turned on.

This Hot Flash goes to show what happens when dangerous men trigger a hidden desire. It provides the excellence of an erotic romance and the enjoyment of hidden desire and what it can bring forward.

I’m the kind of person that loves a well-paced erotic story to sweep me away from a long day and this one is perfect for that sort of occasion. I find it to be a fantastic read, a quick one, and well written.

I would certainly recommend this for anyone that loves to read quick stories and become enthralled by an amazing romance during Halloween.

Blurb:  This is book one in the Nightmares series, see the full series listing here

Dreams can come true—but sometimes nightmares are very real, too.

When Michael—Mikey—Fawkes bags himself a job as a handyman for a film production company and meets his favourite actor, gay porn star Colin Meighan, he believes his dream has come true. Colin indeed appears to be a dream turned to flesh. Handsome, young and as insatiable sexually as the roles he plays suggest, he makes his way into Mikey’s bed and introduces him to unknown carnal pleasures.

A slick lover and sweet talker, Colin also finds a place in Mikey’s heart. But, as Mikey lets his new lover lure him deeper and deeper into a world of decadent on- and off-screen sex, their indulgences begin to take their toll on Mikey. Curious to find out more about the strange and inexplicable effect Colin has on his sex partners, Mikey discovers that there is a terrible reason why one man alone can never be enough to satisfy Colin’s hunger and he realises that dreams can come true—but sometimes nightmares are very real, too.

Reader Advisory: This book is the first in a series with an ongoing story arc. It is set in the world of gay porn where the heroes enjoy a red-hot multi-man pile-up with secondary characters as well as some mild BDSM play.

Review:Mickey is down on his luck after being laid off again. He is home living with his parents, they want him to go to university, but he doesn’t want to. His uncle sets him up to do some handyman work on a porn set. He has the opportunity to meet his favorite porn star and sexual fantasy. He asks Colin out for coffee and Colin rudely rejects him. Weeks later Mickey is working on the set again. Colin is supposed to star in a gangbang film with four men and one doesn’t show. Phil the director asks Mikey to fill in. Colin tries to talk him out of it, but his sarcastic remarks eggs Mickey on and he goes for it. 

This book had a lot going for it. It starts out very erotic, yet has an intriguing story with a bang of a twist. The sex is super-hot. You will need a fire extinguisher or two, yet even though it is porn, you never get the feel that it’s all sex and no story. There is a mysterious undercurrent from the start that keeps you wanting more. I also love the charming English accent that filters through.

I liked Mikey, though I truly would have liked to have known more about him. I never got a good feel of his description like I did Colin and the other actors, even though the story was in his view. I felt I had a better grasp of his parents than him. I liked how he knew he wanted Colin and went for it, though Colin made a point to tell him he was out of his league. Mikey held his own and tried to prove otherwise.

Colin, I loved his sexiness and mysterious vibe, though his description painted him as beautiful and sexy I saw him as tall and above average but not extraordinary. I even felt other actors exuded more sexiness in looks than Colin. This made me like him more, with his secrets and strange behavior. I think it gave him more of a sinister air.

I can’t say much more without spoilers, so get a copy, and see for yourself why I liked it so much. I am definitely going to read the next one soon.

If you like mystery, erotica, porn stars, gang bangs, lots of smokin’ hot sex scenes, and a surprising twist; this is for you.

Blurb: Paranormal resort Cereus is running like clockwork, but in these three stories, a whole new crop of employees and guests, like bears, vampires and fallen angels, might require some extra training.

In Ursa Minor, by Julia Talbot and BA Tortuga, little bear Dakota is losing his sight, and is causing some serious damage trying to wait tables. Resort owner Jonny thinks he knows just what Dakota needs. His name is Cord, and the big grizzly shifter is more than willing to take Dakota on. In Heaven and Hell by Sean Michael, fallen angel Uri has no idea how to be mortal. Luckily, demon Quake is happy to show Uri all about the pleasures of being flesh and blood. Finally, in Weed and Feed, by Julia Talbot and BA Tortuga, Terry and Boone are young werewolves who need a firm hand. Alpha wolf Jackson and vampire Cian are willing, and able, to provide just that.

Cereus: Training takes up where Building and Opening began, with all the fun chaos only Cereus can provide!

Review: Cereus Training Anthology; Seriously fun anthology if you ask me. Well it’s a resort, people are there to calm and vacation and I believe we all get the picture about what happens when you have all the time in the world and the premises to do whatever you feel like. In this anthology, you have a vast range of paranormal, werewolves, vampires, angels, and demons, even bears and bear-cubs, you name it. The stories vary from romantic to highly erotic – really a demon is involved, what d’ya expect? – and the most playfully erotic story ever. Young wolves need a leash I tell ya. So if you’re a fan of biting, nibbling, caressing, furs and all kinds of erotic scenes, this is the anthology for you. Enjoy!

Ursa Minor by Julia Talbot and BA Tortuga ♥♥♥3 Hearts

Dakota, a bear shifter, is going blind. A genetically disease that can’t be cured by the shifter’s healing abilities and coping with it is so hard on the little man. Jonny and Luc send him over at the Cereus Resort and he finds a job as a client’s personal attendant.

Cord is a grizzly shifter and he finds the little bear charming. Everything about Dakota suits him, even his blindness. He helps him cope with it with the use of blindfold, as Cord is a fan of blindfold play. Could they be more suitable for each other?

But losing one’s sight is not easy to deal with. Fears nearly cripple Dakota and the almost permanent state of panic makes him clumsy. In order for him to relax, accept, and deal with his new life, he’s going to blindly trust the big bear, trust him with his whole life.

The story is nice and easy, a bit emotional, a bit dramatic. A love blooms steadily while the two men try to be there for each other. Yes Dakota is a needy character here by default, he is in a bad place, but Cord needs him too, he needs someone to understand him, understand his bear nature, and not judge him. A failed relationship help a great deal for Cord to understand and truly appreciate how important it is for him to have a mate, to love and care with the simplistic way the bears do by their nature.

The story while easy and not overly complex has a way of making you feel heavy inside. I can’t really point a finger to it, but the dialogues and inner thoughts made me sigh a bit too much, feeling overwhelmed by simple things when I shouldn’t. Other than that, there wasn’t really much going on to keep me interested, it was one simple love/mating story albeit with peculiar characters. If you expect a wild side from these bears, you’ll be disappointed. They are the lazy kind, they are in a resort after all, and they simply chill around lying in wait for Dakota to go totally blind and finally accept that as a fact in his life. Even the “mating” is a bit tame and slow and easy here, mostly lovemaking with a special brand of romance, one that doesn’t require too many words to be told. That, I actually liked and felt good reading it. It suited this read a lot.

Heaven and Hell by Sean Michael ♥♥♥♥3.5 Hearts

A Fallen Angel or… a pushed one as the case seems to be, Uri is unable to cope with what happened. To be damned for Eternity for helping his friend, for saving his life against the rules. But rules are to be obeyed and the fact that he didn’t repent and would do it again is what caused him his ripped wings.

Now the transaction from ethereal to corporeal is something Uri can’t understand, can’t deal with and Nathan’s only choice is to ask for help for Uri’s sake.

Quake! A demon… A sadist demon… A Master in a BDSM resort…

Yes, yes, someone had the brilliant idea to get a demon helping a Fallen Angel and oddly enough, it’s the perfect match. No, you won’t see BDSM scenes here, unless you count a scene with a very light binding of the wrists Quake uses to make Uri focus on feelings alone. No, you won’t see the sadistic side of the demon here on glorious display, and frankly I’d be a bit put off if that what the case. What you’ll read about is the most fantastic and fun falling in love, demon/angel making mountains tremble and a great deal of sexual scenes, erotic, sensual, glorious even.

I’ve read many food-on-the-bed scenes, but nothing more erotic, more sinfully delicious that Uri and Quake. Damn, hot damn! Everything about this pair is just that, HOT! Immortality suits marathon sex a lot, innocence suits the angel and depriving him from that suits the demon, and endless circle that makes you pant in the end.

Now if I was a religious person, that violence that came from above would have put me off a great deal in this story, but since I’m not, and I’m in favor of let fiction be I went with it. However, a heads up for Uri suffers a great deal of pain and violence from “Them” and a great deal of love and understanding from his demon.

In the end, this was a great love story dipped in a lot of delicious, sinful scream evoking, erotic scenes. Loved it!

Weed and Feed by Julia Talbot and BA Tortuga ♥♥♥♥4 Hearts

Oh my God, what a furious read this one. Happy, joyful, fun, and sexy as hell. Ok people, there are two lovely wolves who are in need of discipline. They can’t stop fooling around with each other, romping and rutting. It’s like that they manage to get Cian’s attention. The vampire hates to slow, lazy life of the resort and just as he’s about to give it up and go back to the city, here come those two little teases. Terry and Boone are perfect and call to his need for sexual adventure.

Just as he makes plans for the three of them that evening, the two wolves manage to drag into their play a strong and kinky Alpha. However, instead of that making things awkward Jackson (the Alpha) and Cian decide to share.

Boon takes it pretty well, being the most carefree one of them two and more than intrigued with the Vampire, but Terry is all challenging the big, bad Alpha wolf earning himself quite some spanking.

Need I say more? Orgies!!! Oh my, I sound ridiculous screaming that in my room while writing this review, but yeah, this was one heck of a read. Probably the best I’ve read from this duo of authors, and certainly the best of the anthology. I loved the pairs here. Jackson and Terry, and Cian with Boon, they were all delectable. If I had to pick and choose, I think the vamp/wolf pair would win, but only with a small difference because the all-wolves pair was pretty hot too. The entire read is sex, sex, sex. The erotic level here skyrockets and you need to keep up because it doesn’t let go. Jac/Terry combo is the kinkiest pair with Cian/Boone being more snuggly and adorable. It was odd seeing Cian falling for Boone, it was done so well. He simply floated around that emotion like a damn snowflake and his indulging Boon’s every whim was just so perfect (yeah, I want a Cian of my own). Jacson on the other hand was admirable in his insistence, as Terry was more than a handful. At times, I wondered if the big Alpha would simply let him go and abandon the case.

Ah, such an intense read this one. Lovely and fun and a heck of a ride.

Review: Vampires! How do you want them? Well in this little flash anthology, you have them in many forms, all of them sexy. Some more than others, all have some playfulness adding fun to the erotic part and in my opinion a lovely anthology for fans of the genre.

Natural Adaption

Oh, this was good, this was too good. Great imagination for this story and I loved it.

Vampires roam the planet, no free human city remains but one, and while every human fears, screams, and hates the vampires, there is one among them the first that willingly gives himself. He remains alive. He survives, but not only that. The mere human is known to adapt after all to the change of times…

Ok, so it was erotic, it was hot, it was fast, and it was a flash that knocks you out. But, it was also pretty brilliant. An idea worth pursuing some more. Absolutely loved this one. I can see ways of spinning this tale, turning this into an epic novel. Gah!!! A gem really.

Master Aviator

Aha! Master Aviator indeed. Here we have Lt. James Harrison who is on duty when an aircraft lands on successfully on their aircraft carrier. The pilot Leon Madison is the man who keeps him alive…

There is this strange power play in this text, as if Leon doesn’t want to feed James or so James believes. The begging makes James needy for something more than just blood, and Leon, well there we have a character that exudes strength, making the erotic factor quite heady there at the end.

An Executioner’s Absolution

Ah yes, so very hot and sexy this read. A man charged with death, an executioner who sees no sin, a ploy to escape fate, all that woven in a lovely erotic flash, highly sensual and with a touch of romance, that heightens the pleasure quite a bit. Vampires… sexy bastards that they are, they are depicted in a most appealing way in this short.

Loved it!

Mile High

Now this was fun and displaying a Vampire’s wicked playfulness fully. I loved it. So many businessmen fly all over the states on a weekly basis. How many have the chance for a sexy interlude with a vampire? How many remember it afterward?

Hot little flash that this was it was also funny in a way. I do believe you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

The Catch

Holy Mother of Hates, what a ruthless read, so freaking awesome. Yup, this one hunter knows how to catch his prey. Even mind reading can’t help the vamps from cunning, “selfless” Dean. While a bullet takes one out, the second vampire could pretty well kill him in the blink of an eye, if only Dean wasn’t in his secret…

Among the fun of the plot, this little flash is also very erotic. Yup, I enjoyed this one as well quite a bit.

Jonathan comes to the Fletcher Lunatic Asylum to investigate reports of paranormal activity. The whole place gives him the creeps, but he needs to finish the case so the asylum’s ghost-obsessed owner stops bothering him. When the owner won’t go down into the basement of one of the buildings as he gives Jonathan the grand tour, Jonathan needs to find out why.
When Jonathan investigates, he finds a very real ghost haunting the old morgue. He’d expected that. He just didn’t expect that ghost to be so interactive.

While everything looks pretty normal around the Asylum things take a drastic change for the worse, or rather chilly, when he steps foot at the morgue. Paranormal activity-check! Creepy factor-check! Conversation with a ghost-check again!

What else is there to happen…?

So my impression was that this is a very decent little creepy story. It could be more, much more, but I suppose that was not the intension. The way the author tried to make a balance out of a dreadful ghost and romance blooming I thing she managed to write a tame sort of ghost story. That’s not to say I didn’t like it, I did, and boy did I enjoy our scary at first ghost Ernie. The way he used his… energy… yeah, that was cool and managed to bring some heat through the chills. My inner freak would have loved the scary factor to have been higher and higher, but don’t you mind me, I’m weird.

For all you who like ghost stories this one is recommended. It also has some logical king of explanation (sort of) on the how’s and why’s of an afterlife. Enjoy!
