Blurb: A hidden gift…

Lux has tried to deny his gift for electricity his entire life, but when he meets Merek and sparks fly literally, he can’t deny it any longer.

He jumps head first into being a dragon’s mate, but will Fate be enough to hold them together when the odds are stacked against them?

A need to protect…

Merek has failed to keep those he loves safe before, and he cannot let that happen again, not when his mate’s life is in danger.

He cannot prepare for his life with his mate and unborn child until the dragons and their families are safe from Molpe. Taking down Molpe becomes his only focus.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Lux has so many things pulling him into so many directions. He has a mate but is hesitant about mating, but damn if the dragon isn’t fine. He has had a gift his entire life, but he tries so hard to deny it. But they were getting stronger ever since he met Merek. Merek feels that he has let so many down that it is causing problems with his mating. He wants to protect his mate but he needs a good swipe to the head.

It would be an amazing story had it been more developed. It was too short which was a bit disappointing, however it still gave a lot to like. I didn’t care for Marek and his attitude though.

The story starts in a weird place and if you haven’t read the previous books it does get confusing. The problem for me was that they were not as memorable as they should have. I know I read the other stories but can’t remember a one. Which is a bad sign for me. Other than my issues with it, it is still a good story.

Blurb: Victor Docimo loved his mate more than anything, and he’s worked hard to provide Charles with the life that he deserved. He’s strived to be the Alpha that his own Father was not.

Charles spent the last twenty-six years mated to his perfect Alpha. He raised their son and managed their home. He’s tried to provide his Alpha with a family, despite the fact that he can’t have more children. After seeing Victor with another Omega, he begins to wonder if he’s enough.

Now, the two of them must face their greatest challenge yet, something that shouldn’t be possible: a broken bond.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Victor’s home life growing up was filled with hate and anger. His alpha father was down right nasty to his omega father, so much so in the end his omega father ended his life. It made Victor want to stay away from fated mating. That lasted until he found his sexy mate. And their life was a blessing and a curse.

Charles had had a problem after giving birth to Aiden, and it had made it where there would be no more babies. It made him wonder if Victor was better off with another omega. They had been together for many years and after the move they seemed to fizzle. Things needed to spark to get them back on track.

Well I am glad to see Aiden’s parents once more and in their own story. There were some issues I had with the book that made it hard to actually like the story. It felt rushed for one and the way the characters were with each other just seemed to drive me nuts. In the beginning we go Victor’s upsetting past, then it didn’t go anywhere else. They have a grown son and a grandbaby to spoil, but their own lives are on hold. Charles blamed it on the fact he couldn’t give his alpha anymore babies. They lost their connection to each other and their bond broke.

In true mated stories it is unheard of but it is exactly that their bond broke. This is one of those paranormal stories where they don’t shift but are considered alpha’s and omega’s. They meet and the omega’s pop out babies. The author told a story that is so like many others but added in a bit of flare to where their bond can disolve if not tended to. This book didn’t give me anything I couldn’t have gotten from any other story. It did not pop out or stand out to me which was disappointing. The story had great potential but didn’t truly deliver.

I didn’t connect with this story or its characters like I should have. I was quite disappointed in the telling of this story and wished for more action, suspense and a bit of danger added in. For now I can say that this story just didn’t do it for me.

Blurb: Everett Surlin longed for the day that his Fated mate finally recognized him. It’d been eight years since he’d first met Matt Jenkins, he’d never imagined it take this long for his mate to realize their connection.

Matt Jenkins had done his best to put his past behind him. The abuse he’d endured as a child stayed locked away inside him, never to be shared with anyone. He’d assumed that as a result of his upbringing, he was broken and he would never have a mate. That didn’t stop him from desiring Everett and wishing that they could be together.

When tragedy strikes, Matt stays at Everett’s side, which just might be the push he needs to discover what had been there all along and a future he never dreamed would be possible.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Everett found his mate eight years ago, but since Matt was a teenager he just kept his distance. Which was pretty hard to do since Matt was around quite a bit growing up. I would imagine Everett’s pain in that time. When Matt needs to come stay on the ranch, well you can imagine the cold showers going on.

Matt has been holding on to a deep and dark secret in his past. One that had almost killed him, but thanks to friends he had been given a new life. However the past always comes back to bite you in the ass sometimes. Then the moment Matt realizes Everett is his mate and well you can guess what is going to hapen. Say goodbye to cold showers.

The buildup in the terror of his past was built up and then no explosion. It was kind of a let down in the end. The heat does level up once Matt does find out about his mate so that was a nice surprise. The story was a bit better than the first one, but I still didn’t like how the book just seem to dwindle down to a passive type of story. The one danger, action and suspense was nothing much more than a little pop when nothing happened.

I will admit that this series has not turned out the way I had hoped. There is more heat and sexual tension in this story but even that was tampered down. I hate to admit that this is one of those stories that are a bit of a drag and not really memorable. Other than my issues with it, it is still a nice read for when you need a break.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Brandon had taken over the company after his father and he was in need of some help. Damn thieves were stealing him blind, ok maybe not, but he needed to find out who was behind it. He also needed some help, but what he had not expected was for the new worker to be his mate.

Aiden wanted his dream job or at least close to it. He was good at his work and knew it. He hadn’t expected to walk in find his mate and be given the job with in seconds of each other. His mate was going to drive him crazy though, and if that man didn’t claim him soon well he could not be held accountable for his actions.

I have a blast reading about omega’s who can get pregnant, it always makes be laugh my ass off. This story really doesn’t have any world building just meet, find out they are mates, play it off a bit, then find the trouble, mate and have a baby. Aiden comes off pretty good and a pretty unique omega, where as Brandon comes off more annoying. Here he has his mate standing in front of him and it is work he aims at. Makes Aiden wait a bit to be mated, but there doesn’t seem to be real chemistry with them like there should be.

The danger that was provided from the thief was taken care of pretty fast and there was no real drama to it. I would have perferred to have a bit more of it to make the story more exciting, but it didn’t turn out that way.

Other than my issues with it, the story was a fun little one to read. I am afraid that I can’t imagine myself reading it more than once though, but it was still a nice read. There just wasn’t anything to it that would make it explosive. I hope the next book will have a bit more to it.

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

Jesse has always dated women and never considered a man, well maybe there was this one time but still. Then he comes across a sexy detective who at first he thought was screwing his brothers boyfriend, but figured out real fast that he was definitely in the wrong. So what has he been doing, stalking that sexy detective. Hadn’t figured out how to approach him, but the dog took care of that.

Troy has always been an amazing detective but he has been hiding a part of him from the others. He has seen the prejudice and never wanted to chance it. Jesse makes him think hard about it and the fact that Duke has disowned him, he might think a little harder.

If it were me I would keep Duke and make Troy work for it. This story was a blast to read and was quite interesting. I don’t get the fun of running, but can you imagine a sexy man in just some shorts and tank top, talk about hot. It didn’t give me all that I could want but it came close. The title doesn’t do the book justice but the story makes up for it.

I think that I have found another favorite author. Jena has a gift of telling stories. It was wrote with such heart that you can tell from the first word. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. So much so that I read it one more time before dinner. I laughed at parts of it, and at the serious parts I wanted to smack Troy.

I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to get to reading the next book.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Just absolutely wow. Ashten and his twin are pretty amazing and damn can that man cook. He graduated and earned two degrees by the age of twenty-three, and his only goal was to be a personal chef. He could work for any restaurant he wanted but it wasn’t what his heart wanted. He just had not expected his new boss to be so damn hot.

Trent spends his life pretty much at work and doesn’t really cook at all. In fact the man could burn water. He just hadn’t expected the sexy man who is now his chef to be more than what he expected, but that man was. After one disaster, he was afraid to trust a new employee, but then again Ashten wasn’t just an employee.

I can not believe that I have not read this author’s work before now. At first I was thinking that it was just going to be a bit boring with very little to spice it up. However the excitement from the guys and the danger made the whole story just pop out. It gave me all that I could ask for and a surprising little twist. Although the title was a bit boring and almost made me not want to look at it, the story itself was a nice surprise.

I enjoyed reading it and can’t wait to get started on the next book.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Well this was not what I expected. This was the first book by this author that I have read so I wasn’t really sure what it would be like. I absolutely loved the cover, and the blurb was pretty good.

Although the story was just a bit drab. It came off like it was missing something that would make it a top notch book. It also came off to me that it was rushed.

Lucas and Jason are extremely hot. They can’t seem to communicate though and to me that is a bad sign. They have been partners in roping for five years and they had decided that they were going to get the gold as they say. The problem is just because the sex is good, doesn’t mean they can make it. I wanted to strangle these two. So they have sex and all of a sudden Jason can’t do what he intended. I felt like saying “get over it”, but these two needed something to make it.

The beginning is as hot as you would expect but just because they had sex one time doesn’t mean it needs to screw with their lives. It is a fast paced story that is pretty hot, but it was not my cup of tea. I want my guys talking and these two did the exact opposite.

Although when they do manage to well you can imagine. I was not much for I am straight but oh the sex is really good with you type of person. So I could imagine his expression when he decides to come out. Although what had happened to make him feel that way just comes off bizarre. That is just my opinion though.

Other than all of those problems the book is really cute. There were a lot of mistakes in it for me to give it a high rating but it wouldn’t stop me from checking out this author’s other books.

Review: I am so glad to have found this book. It was absolutely wonderful. I think that I have found another favorite author. Jena has a gift of telling stories. It was wrote with such heart that you can tell from the first word. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. So much so that I read it one more time before dinner. I laughed at parts of it, and at the serious parts I wanted to smack Troy.

Jesse had seen the perfect man, while out running and wanted to see more of him. The only thing standing in his way was his courage. Then an accident had happened to his brother and he got to meet the sexy man. Detective Troy Evans liked what he had seen but since it had been at an accident there was nothing he could do about it. However Jesse had other ideas, almost to the point of stalking this hot and sexy man. He just didn’t have the guts to speak to him, till Troy’s dog took it out of his hands. They both wanted the same thing, each other but the problem was Troy was not out at all. Troy ends the relationship but regrets it so bad, he just doesn’t know how to fix it. The sex is amazing, hot and tender with lots of passion and love.

I loved this book and wished I had found the first book Shoes & Ties before reading this one. It just makes it a bit better to get a little history in everyone, however it does not need to be read in order. It had the perfect amount of passion, lust, excitement and tender moments but also pain and anger. It comes off so true and real that you just want to knock some sense into Troy. To remember that police officers, fire fighters and other support jobs do still have it hard when they come out, makes you pray for each man and woman.

Each man is so sexy that you would drool when you see them, and their feelings are so true to form that you wish them luck. I can’t wait to see what Jena has written next.
