Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Other than the fact that this story skips quite a bit in the story and seems rushed, it is a pretty good book. I was not happy that it skipped parts though. I think if you had gotten the guys whole story, it would have been a Five Hearts book.

Thomas had known that Kyle was his mate, when Kyle was still a child. He had left for college only hearing from Kyle a handful of times. One day he gets a call from a stranger, who turns him the hell on, and tells him he needs to come home to save Kyle from getting killed. He gets there in time for another sexy wolf to save Kyle, and then throw himself over the cliff. What he had not known was he had two mates.

Kyle had loved Thomas for a long time, but had not known he was his mate till he smelt Thomas shirt on a lonely night. However Thomas never came back. He didn’t come back when his parents died, nor did he come back for when Kyle was in a coma. He had told him off and never to come home. He screwed that one up. He however started falling in love with Cale.

Cale had love Thomas since he was a child but stayed away because he had known Thomas was mated to Kyle. He had intended to give his life to stop the pain, but that doesn’t always work. Thank god because it seems he was mated to them both.

Now all of that is good, but you are missing their lives to see how they got there, and then you are missing all the juicy details of Cale and Kyle. There was just too much missing to make this a great story. It had all of its possibilities but it comes off rushed. It felt like the author didn’t take the time to give me a story that took heart.

I loved this book, don’t get me wrong, but was disappointed in it also. I hope that the next book has more meat to it. I can’t wait to read it that is for sure.

Review: This is book two in this series and they should be read in order. It is a pretty amazing story. I love the way it was told and the characters are awesome. I loved this book just as much book one. Felix is an operative with the Panthera Agency. They are searching for shifters that have been abducted. He has seen a lot of things in his life and he had not really wanted a mate or at least that is what he tells everyone. However when he meets FBI Ajay Singh he realizes that this sexy man was his mate. A mate that he definitely wants. Talk about a surprise of a lifetime.

Ajay is with the FBI and when he finds out that, his team is being replaced by another he goes to Felix to find out why. What he finds out however is that not only is Felix a shifter like he is, but he is his mate. Strong feelings start popping up and he will do everything to keep his mate safe and with him.

The danger they are mixed up in just gets a little crazier with each step they take. They find out a big surprise while painting a friend’s apartment, now all they have to do is how to get the answers they are seeking. Ajay and Felix are not only hot, smart, and sexy but they have the strength behind them to catch the men behind the kidnappings. When Ajay’s brother becomes one of the missing students, they will go to all ends to find him and saved him.

I loved this book. It has the right mixture of danger, excitement, adventure, love, and two hot men protecting shifters and their mates. It will give you everything that you want in a book. If you love the paranormal world then this is one book that you will want to check out. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.

Reviewer: Lisa

Blurb: In book one of the Panthera Agency: Cody has lost his spirit and he wants it back—he just doesn’t quite know how to achieve the
goal. After what he has been through—no one can blame him. To his new family he tries to act like his old-self but it’s taking a toll on him. Then if that is not enough, he comes face-to-face with his mate. The fear that he could possibly harm his mate—unwillingly, keeps Cody at a distance.

Remy enlists his cousins, from another branch of the Panthera Agency, to help with a case of missing shifters. But that’s not the only thing he finds when he arrives. Remy finds himself confused by the feelings he is experiencing around a man who flirts and laughs with the
women in the family but has an underlying sadness to him, his eyes have lost their light.

Cody finds someone to help with his lost soul but it will take the love of his mate and his family to help—along with a little
mystical spirit.

Can Cody find the missing pieces of himself and the happiness he so deserves? Will Remy finally find the answers to what his jaguar has known all along? Join the men as they deal with shifter hunters, poachers, gunfights, and find their path to each other.

Review: This is book one in this series and they should be read in order. It is a pretty amazing story. I love the way it was told and the characters are awesome. I love Cody and Remy. You can’t help but fall in love with them. Cody had been kidnapped, tortured, raped and in serious pain both physically and mentally. His family searched for him and when they found him, he was tied down and marks were all over his body. His friend Felix was the one that found him promised to never tell what had really happened to him. He shifted into his cougar and healed at least physically.

Remy had needed a ride from the airport so when he had called he got a hold of a cranky man. When he had found out that Cody was that cranky man, he also learned that this sexy man was his mate. Cody had given Felix permission to tell Remy what had happened to him. It tore Remy’s heart to know that his mate had been through something so horrific. He knew that he needed to be patient and give him some time to learn what he is about. He knew that he could fall in love with this man if he was not all ready in love with him.

The problem was there were missing shifters, which held the same clues that the man who hired the one to hurt Cody was in fact the one who was behind the differences. Cody had been abducted twice in such a short time, but the second one was easier for Cody to defend himself. They had so many dangers out there that Remy just wanted to keep Cody safe. Cody knew that he would love his mate and that he would heal enough to finish their bonding and mating. He just needed a little mystical help to finish healing him. In time, they would have a true mating.

They have poachers, shifter hunters, killers, gunfights, and many other dangers out there. You will fall in love with Cody and Remy. There is so much tenderness between them, and the way Remy is with Cody you can tell that he will always love his mate. It just makes for an awesome story. It has the right amount of everything that you would ever want in a story. I loved it and cannot wait to read the next book in this series. I have found another author to add to my library. Rae has an amazing gift at telling stories. It caught my attention at the very beginning and kept it all the way to the end.

I would recommend reading this book to anyone who loves paranormal books, hot men, tender stories, love, excitement, and danger.

Nick Ashby co-owns and runs a small café. He carries secrets that only the ones closest to him are privy to. Life dealt him a bad hand as he grew up with an unforgiving father—one who happens to be the town Reverend.
When Nick’s past and future walk into the café, will he finally get his Christmas Wish?

Purchase Link: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/383723

Review: Now I have found another favorite book, the only problem I found was it wasn’t long enough. I can understand the pain of losing a love one, but for a father to hurt his son I cannot understand.

Nick had promised his mother and had followed through with it up until he meets his mate. He was so scared of everything. He wanted his wishes to come true, especially a special one of having his mate.

Jaxon’s father and mother had ended their relationship when his father had found his mate. He had moved to Australia with his mother only to come back when his father wanted to train him to take his place as the next Alpha. What he had not expected, when he arrived and decided to get some coffee, was his mate being there. Also, that his mate would deny him. He had to find away to help his mate see that they were meant to be together. He also had to help his mate forgive himself for breaking his promise, but to understand that this was a promise he should never had to deal with in the first place. Could he get his mate to understand that he was there for him in every way?

This was not only a beautiful story, but a heart breaking one also. I felt like beating the tar out of Nick’s father and holding Nick close. He has the ability to overcome all the pain from his life but he has to trust in himself and his mate. I would have loved to see where this goes. It would have made an excellent story if it had been longer. I would recommend reading this story and checking out the rest of Jess’s books. It will make you cry out in outrage for Nick and wish you could help Jaxon with his mate’s pain.

Blurb: Ian was a professor in college one day and a King’s consort the next. How the hell does that happen? Come along for the journey of a lifetime where one man discovers the truth about the universe and finds love along the way.

Blake was the King of the Wizard Stratum, he had just about given up hope he would find his mate. Once he does, it seems like there is one thing after another for them to deal with, including a war, and stray shifter from another Stratum.

When Blake’s mate is threatened by the Warlock who is trying to start a war, everyone will find out just what lengths he will go to keep his mate safe. But will Ian stand back and let him?

Purchase Link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15993279-wasted-time

Review: Ian is a professor who is fascinated by history, and it leads to him being in the wrong place at the wrong time and finding out that his world isn’t the only one out there. Blake has been looking for his mate for a long time. When he finally does meet his mate, he finds out that he is from the Human Stratum and that Ian believes he is dreaming the Wizard Stratum.

This story has a very good premise of having Stratums (different dimensions) and different species living on each Stratum. Ian is from the Human Stratum and Blake is from the Wizard Stratum. They meet when Ian is transported to the Wizard Stratum, when he tries to stop someone from stealing what Ian thinks is an old medallion. Later, he comes to he believes he is in a coma and is dreaming and it takes Blake’s entire family and some fancy footwork to convince him otherwise. Blake looks forward to his mating, but there are problems brewing and a build-up to a war, because someone wants to take over all the Stratums.

I actually found this story to be quite good, the storyline was great and the plot very intriguing. Ian is one stubborn man and I found him to be quite amusing in his belief that he is dreaming everything. Blake is a strong character, although he needs to share the stress with Ian better. I found the supporting characters to be great and I enjoyed their interaction with each other. Ian and Blake were great together and I loved that they got to know each other before mating. Even though it might have seemed fast on our time scale, but at least it wasn’t insta mating 5 minutes after they met.

Blake and Ian together are hot, even when they are arguing and I thought they made a great couple. I am really interested to see where this Stratum series takes us. With a war starting and support from the Shifter Stratum and with Trent (Ian’s best friend) and Logan’s (Blake’s brother) story being next, I am looking forward to the next book.

I will admit that there are some editing mistakes, with spelling mistakes and words used in the wrong context, but I didn’t have a problem with the formatting that some people are complaining about. I think that those who do find themselves with formatting problems should contact the publisher direct and explain the issue.

So, I will recommend this to those who love fantasy, alternative world, ‘oh my god this isn’t happening to me’ stories, hot sex, danger, a good battle and a happy ending.

Reviewer: Pixie

Blurb: Garrett longed to get away from the abusive Pack he belonged to. The problem was he had nowhere to go. With his Alpha getting crazier and crazier, he has no choice but to run when he is beaten within an inch of his life.

Haven is on his way to the Cedarhill Pack; his friend’s sister has not contacted her family in weeks. His Beta asks him to go and find his sister as a favor, since he was driving by in the first place. However, Haven finds a lot more than the answers he is seeking. His badly beaten mate. Now with the help of a neighboring Pack they have to help the rest of the wolves in the Cedarhill Pack, before they are all destroyed.

Purchase Link: http://shop.jkpublishingbooks.com/Garretts-Home_c38.htm

Review: Garrett’s Alpha is completely insane. the abuse that he has heaped on the pack is getting worse and Garrett has finally managed to escape, barely making it out alive. Haven is asked to investigate the disappearance of his friends’ sister and almost hits his mate as he runs out into the road, and discovers more about what is going on in the Cedarhill Pack. With the help of a neighboring pack and his mate Garrett, the Weir council and Haven set about to bring ruin on the Cedarhill pack Alpha.

This book is, erm, okay, well it’s urm… *sigh* okay, this book is poorly written and poorly edited. *sigh* it gave me a headache trying to keep track of whose  POV was what and it would suddenly change with no warning, sometimes just for a few sentences. The storyline was a good one, but very poorly executed. Surprises would suddenly jump out with no warning and with no explanation afterwards or the characters wouldn’t know anything and then later they suddenly did. There is also an abundance of characters who’s POV we flit through, which made it confusing at times and there is no background building for the paranormal world.

I will be honest and say that this book would have worked better in the ‘less is more’ attitude. There was just too much being thrown in for an inexperienced writer. The writing should have been left concentrating on the main characters Haven and Garrett, and with better explanations as to the new paranormal aspects that were being introduced. And, the slower introductions of those paranormal aspects. The writing could be sometimes confusing in the way that the characters spoke to each other. It was difficult to follow at times.

Okay, now that I have said all that, let me tell you this, this author has huge potential because she has all the bare bones there to make a great story. The characters were great and quite loveable, the storyline was interesting and unique with a great many twists and turns and the sex was hot and sexy. Haven and Garrett make a great couple and their friends are interesting and their stories also begin in this book, we also get a good hint of what will happen in the next book (Tyler’s Dreams).

So, I will recommend this to those who love the paranormal, surprises and twists, hot sex, a multitude of sexy men, an interesting storyline and some great characters. I will be keeping an eye on this author’s work as she has some great ideas.
