Blurb: After staring death in the face, Victor Blair takes the advice of his nurses and takes a vacation. It’s not only to help him heal, but to keep his mind off the trauma he’s endured. He travels to Salem, MA. A place he’s sure will calm his nerves.

Once he arrives in the seaside town Victor finds himself attracted to Rayne, a magical stranger with an opinionated pet barn owl, named Elvira. Though they hunger to see more of each other, it leads to conflict. Rayne’s parents aren’t too keen on interspecies mingling between mortals and witches.

Their rapidly building attraction raises the spectre of what will happen once Victor’s vacation is over. His time in Salem was never meant to be permanent. Does he go home and risk losing a great man, or does he throw caution to the wind and uproot himself, moving to a new town to be with someone who he’s only known for a few weeks?

Review: Victor takes a vacation and meets Rayne. I loved the attraction between these two as they set the pages on fire with they’re intensity for one another. Rayne seemed to be just what Victor needed to ease his panic attacks. Rayne’s family was lively and friendly.

The details were well researched and written. This was a great book to read with plenty of twists to keep the reader intrigued as to where the story headed.

Definitely a book worth reading and highly recommended.

Blurb: Kayden Garrett’s ready to head home to Georgia, after four long years in Boston attending university. An unexpected fight with an abusive lover leaves him battered—and cursed, into becoming a werewolf.

Immediately after leaving the plane, he’s introduced to a man, Paul, who makes his former flame dwindle in the dark. Their connection is instant and explosive. The two can’t explain the attraction to each other, but don’t waste time trying to figure it out.

Between struggling with being a werewolf, and getting in with a local pack, Kayden has to acclimate to being with someone who treats him as an equal, instead of a possession. And all their progress comes to a halt when a dark figure from Paul’s past resurfaces, threatening their newfound love, and their very existence.

Going home isn’t always easy—but for Kayden, the experience is a true test of his strength, his ability to adapt to the shifter world he’s been thrown into, his need to protect his family and friends, and his overwhelming desire to be loved.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I have to say this is the first book I’ve ever read by this author and I was impressed and stunned speechless by this amazing story about Kayden being introduced to the paranormal world in a violent way after a fight with his lover Micheal. Kayden and his best friend Annette, a witch, head to Georgia to see his family. While there, he meets sexy Paul who is a lion shifter.

Paul was changed during an attack that supposedly killed his wife and left him for dead and his son Brent missing. I was unable to stop reading until the very end, as I had to know what happened the further I read. Mesmerizing descriptions and details all throughout.

The passion between Paul and Kayden was hot. Edge of your set scenes involving fights with the paranormal and an initiation into a werewolf pack add the right mix to this well written book. So much happens that it is impossible to cover everything in this review.

This story has it all action, drama, suspense, romance, werewolves, lions, ghosts, witches, and so much more. This book grabs your attention from the very start and doesn’t let go until the end. Fantastic read.

Highly recommended.
