Blurb: Xeno has an exciting new relationship with five gorgeous men, but resistance comes from an unexpected angle—his own family.

After moving in with his five lovers, Xeno wants to share his happiness about his new relationship with his family. Since his parents are part of a ménage, he expects them to approve of his unconventional romance.

He’s shocked when his family reacts harshly to the news—his sister even fires him from her bookstore where he works. Heartbroken and jobless, Xeno has no idea how to fix what’s gone wrong. And the more he questions his family’s reaction, the more he realizes that they’re keeping explosive secrets about his supernatural heritage. Secrets that won’t stay buried for long

Review: This is book two in this series and you need to read it in order so that you will have a clue on what is going on.

Xeno was raised by two fathers and one mother. So when he started his relationship with five gorgeous men, he thought he would have no problems. However, he was very wrong. First, his sister goes off on him, which shut him down just a bit. Then when he went home to visit his family, his fathers were just as bad.

Niko talks Xeno into going home to see his family. Rex is the head of their fae family, but they all have equal parts in the relationship. So since, he was more easy-going he thought that it would be easier for Xeno if he went with him. What he had not expected was for Xeno’s mom to be something of a legend in the fae community. The only problem they had was, no one had bothered to tell Xeno anything of his heritage. No one had told Xeno that he was fae.

There was dangers coming, they can all feel it. So they decided that all of them need to get back to the Vineyard and have the discussion they knew was needed. Xeno had to know what dangers were coming.

The only problem I had with this story is it left me hanging. It basically left Xeno without any ideas. I am not really sure if I like this series or not. So I will wait for book three to see if it gives me any other ideas. I made the mistake of not reading book one so I started to get lost at the beginning not knowing who everyone was, but I caught on really quick. I did like the story just didn’t like to be left with more questions than answers.

I would definitely be recommending this story to anyone who loves ménage and multiple partners. This story had five hot men who love one another, some amazing sex, and lots of great feelings in it. You really got to read it.

Blurb: To find a family heirloom a man must ask for help from another who he has been fighting his attraction for. They join forces and find that they have more in common than either expected.

Detective Hunter Montgomery finds himself personally involved when a family heirloom is stolen. To find the culprits of the robbery ring he has to approach Brooks-the one man who pushes all his buttons. He is attracted to Brooks but knows he’ll never go after him, since they’re looking for different things. They form an unlikely alliance to track down the heirlooms. As they work together, Hunter can’t figure Brooks out. The man comes across as if nothing bothers him, yet when Hunter asks for his help Brooks not only agrees he becomes more to him than Hunter expects. As the case gets more complicated, so do his interactions with Brooks. The need he feels flares and Hunter is unable to resist the temptation of Brooks. As the heat between them rises, so does the danger in the case they both want solved.

Brooks Walters is willing to work with Hunter even if the man doesn’t like him. Since their first meeting, Brooks has gone out of his way to antagonize the usually infallible detective. Each and every time the man gets annoyed and rude with him, Brooks finds it is more amusing than anything else is. There is something about the tall, sexy detective that he finds irresistible. Hunter has all the things he likes in a man-he’s loyal, protective and is able to match wits with Brooks. When the case he is working on with Hunter heats up so does their passion. With each new clue on the robberies, it becomes apparent that the case is more complicated that either of them had known. Brooks will go out of his way to make sure the man who has slid into his life will succeed in their Wicked Alliance.

Review: This is book two in this series and you really need to read book one. It gives you a heads up on the characters and you will love it more.

Hunter and Brook had met when Hunter came to find out who had shot at Brooks best friends brother. Let me tell you these two fought like cats and dogs when they first met. Seems like a good foreplay to me. I loved the way they act together. It will give you a good laugh. Brook calls Hunter idiot when he is mildly irritated at him and detective when he is royally pissed off at him. This actually means, for most part, he calls him detective. They are always going at it. This makes it even that more heated up.

Hunter has really taken a liking to Brook. He even liked the way they argued, just made everything hotter. However, he knew that deep down this was a man he would want for all times and it was returned in spades. These two men get together and they set the sheets on fire. In this story Hunters mom’s jewelry and a clock were stolen when Brook had sent them out. Hunter goes to Brook to ask him for his help and actually gets more than he bargains for, but at least he gets his man.

He gets his man for life and he is happier with it. They both are stubborn and mule headed but you can tell that their love will be deep and strong. I love this story almost as much as I loved book one. Talia gives you wonderful characters in all of her stories and she never disappoints you. She has a wonderful gift at telling a story and will always be one of my favorite authors.

I would recommend this story to anyone who loves hot and sexy cops, gorgeous military men who own a gallery, two sexy men coming together for all time, lots of danger and excitement. Not to mention the love and sex so full of passion it will make you fall in love with everyone.

Blurb: They’re going to need a bigger tent.

Henri’s list of bad exes is as long as his arm, but nothing prepared him for his latest, heart-stomping breakup. He thought he couldn’t feel more abandoned, until his ride for a group camping trip bails, leaving him stuck driving for hours with a guy who is absolutely not his type.

After breaking up with his girlfriend of five years, firefighter Logan is working up the nerve to explore his interest in men. He knows he’s gay. He just hasn’t had the guts to do anything about it…until now.

Henri’s big-city attitude and tight jeans push every last one of Logan’s buttons, and when he and Henri have to share a tent, Logan is thrilled. He should have realized Pacific Northwest weather would get wet—forcing them to strip naked.

Though the steam between him is thicker than coastal fog, Henri’s not sure he can let himself fall for another man. Not even the guy who finally treats him right.

Product Warnings
Contains bad ex-boyfriends, even worse weather, and more than your average amount of sex in a tent. May not be suitable for those with germ phobias, outdoor aversions, or fear of damp shoes.

Review: This is part two in this series but you should start with book one. Although it can be read as a standalone book. It was a lot better than book one and I am glad for that. It was told with a bit of humor and seriousness to it. I am actually pleased with it. It still has a very small bit of homophobic people to it however. This one was more about a jerk of an ex who slept around on Henri.

He even told Henri that he had a STD that he shouldn’t worry about but maybe should get tested anyway.
Logan had broken up with his long time girl friend because he knew that what they were was wrong. He was completely gay and needed to live his life to the fullest. Now all he had to do is figure a way to meet men. He wasn’t old enough to go to the club’s so he was kind of clueless. However when his friend and coworker invited him to go camping, well what does a boy from Texas say but agree to go. It also might have something to do with the hottie that was friends with his coworker. And that said hottie was going camping also.

Henri almost bit his tongue off when he saw Logan, but he comes across as an ass to Logan. He is scared and you can tell it by the way he acts to Logan. And Logan takes some of it but mostly he is just as lost as ever. However, when these two get over whatever is their main issue things start to heat up.

This is a really cute story that you can love. You will love Logan and Henri. They come off as so true to the ones you would consider friends. I especially love Henri, he over comes his pain from a cheating ex, gets over his fear of a possible std, and falls head over heels for Logan and camping. Although you could give him some time, well a lot of time before trying it again.

I loved the humorous parts to it. I would recommend this story because Logan is one hell of a hot fireman and EMT. Henri is just as sexy as can be, their camping in Canada, running into freezing water butt naked and lots of good times.

Review: This is pretty good for a short story, although I wished it had been longer because it would have been one hell of a great read. I loved the way the characters act. They just come off perfect together. At first when you meet Brendan you would think a completely straight guy. I was very surprise to find out that he was bisexual. It always makes it better when it is two very hot men. Ryan is scientist trying to find away to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s. He had been getting prank phone calls and then a dead cat. Now scared he knew he needed help.

Hiring Brendan who just happens to be an ex-Ranger was a perfect idea. That is until he realizes he has the hots for this sexy man. Brendan had been hurt while serving overseas and knew with the head problems he could no longer do what he was trained to do. So taking a job working as private security gets him to do jobs that he loves. What surprises him is a very sexy scientist that he can’t seem to keep his hands off of. When Ryan made a comment without thinking Brendan knew he had finally found the man he could stay with. A man who turned him on with just a look.

I love the way this story can mix love and danger just perfectly. It gives you a glimpse at the romance part and trust me it will make you hotter than hell just thinking of these two men. Then the dangers from a crazy man, threatening the life of Ryan will have Brendan doing everything in his powers to keep his man safe.

I would recommend this story to anyone who loves two hot and sexy men, a sexy security man protecting the man he is falling for, lots of danger and some hot sex. I hope that there is another story to go with this one because I would love to read more about Brendan and Ryan.

This is book three in the Bonds of Justice series. See the full series listing here

Review: This is book three in the series and you really need to read them in order to get an idea of who the guys are. Although this is the first time for meeting Mercer. Once you get a hang of Gio, you will want to either shoot him or love him. I am more in mind to just want to beat him. He is a very funny guy who loves deeply. He also protects those that he loves with all that is in him. He meets Mercer when someone burned his house down. Mercer tried to stop him from going inside his house and he turns around and knocks him out.

It gets even better when Mercer tries to arrest him for knocking him out, Gio used his gifts and got out of his handcuffs, handing them to him and with a smirk walks off. Talk about some major foreplay. These two are even hotter than the fire burning Gio’s house down. Gio served in the military but has some high contacts, because when people look him up they get this mysterious call telling them to back off.

You can tell by just looking at all that heat that these two are going to set the sheets on fire. You can also tell that they will love deeply and forever. I love the way they are together. They just make you want to fan yourself down. Someone is out to get Gio and Mercer is going to solve this puzzle with everything in him. However, it brings him into the dangers site also.
I love the way this story plays out. You can tell that these two men belong together, from the first signs of jealousy, two the way they touch each other tenderly. Also, the way they are taking everything slow just getting to know each other before they take it any further. There is so many sparks that you can’t wait to see more of them. I loved this story and I definitely can’t wait for another book in this series.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves firemen, policemen, military men who are retired from it but still has the strength to back it up, danger, excitement and two very hot and sexy men. Not to mention the way the sex just makes you tingle. I loved this book and this author. She always gives you wonderful characters to fall in love with and a great story line that will catch your attention from the start and keep it all the way to the end. It definitely caught my attention and kept it, so much so that I read this story twice.

Blurb: Toby’s happy with his life in the small fishing village of Haggenby. At least, he thought he was. When he rescues a Selkie who identifies himself as Flirt in sign language–not so much a name as a warning label, as Toby’s father notes–he’s forced to recognize he’s withdrawn from the world, and the world thinks it’s because he lost his hearing in his teens.

Stung, Toby takes Flirt out on a date, but that attracts the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of people: scientists keen to dissect Flirt and prove the existence of the supernatural. Flirt is kidnapped and Toby must attempt a daring rescue if he wants to keep his lover. He just hopes his lover wants to be kept.

Review: I am not really sure about this story. It just comes off as pretty bizarre. I did like it though. It was a bit cute just too short. I did love the way the characters were created. They are so loveable, tender, and sweet. They had the abilities to overcome all obstacles and turn them into rewards.

Toby is a bit of a recluse. Staying by himself as much as possible except when he is with his father. Out fishing, he came across a human, who wasn’t a human at all. He was a Selkie. They can be kept on land if you hide their Selkie skins from them and they are drawn to those who need something. When Toby helps Flirt, he realizes he likes him. More than likes him, he is falling for Flirt. Flirt is falling for Toby also. There is a danger that has been hunting Flirt, and now the danger is there. Scientist that want to cut Flirt open and study him. Toby will do anything to keep his man safe. They both will do anything to keep the other safe, but Toby doesn’t want to lose Flirt.

It does have a very cute storyline that you will like. I love the way that there is a different type of Shapeshifter in this story then the ones you normally hear about. I like the new world created by Mina. She has a gift for storytelling and I wish to read more of her books. This is book two in this series and you should really read book one to get a hang of the characters. To understand the world they live in and where they come from.

Blurb: When Navy SEAL training pushed Lieutenant Josh Walker to his limit, Chief David Flint’s stern heart-to-heart—more like boot-to-ass—helped Josh realize his potential. When the holidays found them alone together and sharing a mutual attraction, they couldn’t help breaking a few regulations. And nearly breaking some furniture in the process.

Years after their short-lived fling, Senior Chief Flint returns to SEAL duty and finds himself under the command of the man he’s never been able to forget: Lieutenant Commander Walker. And Josh hasn’t forgotten David, either. Rules be damned, they can’t keep their hands off each other.

Despite their discretion, another SEAL catches on and threatens to expose their relationship, forcing Josh to bend to a blackmailer’s demands to avoid strife within the team just before a dangerous mission. David is the last man he can confide in…and the first to pick up on Josh’s tightly screwed-down stress.

When a life-or-death decision calls Josh’s leadership into question, coming clean could cost him what he values most. His coveted trident…and the man he loves.

Review: This is book one in this new series. I can guarantee that you will love it. The moment you open the book up you will be caught with the first paragraph. You will fall in love with Josh and David. You can’t help it. They are the strongest men you will ever meet. Josh is just trying to survive Navy Seal training, but Chief David Flint pushes him to be the best. He sees the potential in Josh and can tell that this man is going to go far. The only problem that they seem to be having is their attraction to each other.

They had one night of hot passionate sex, but David puts a stop to any further action even though he wants this man more than anything he has ever wanted. Although Josh keeps pushing him for more. He keeps his mind on the goal, wanting to get his twenty years in and retire. He wants to do more than what he is doing now.

A few years later, David comes back to do what he was trained to do. The only thing he see’s in his sight is the man he left behind after one hot night. One Lieutenant Commander Josh Walker, who just happens to be his Commanding Officer. The heat is still there between them, and they decide that this time there is no calling quits. Even though they can’t be out, they plan on being with each other.

They had been doing really good at keeping it secret, but had made one fatal mistake one night. One of his men had seen them and taken a picture so that he could blackmail Josh into making his papers look real good. He wanted promoted and the only way he could do it was to black mail for it. Knowing that they could all lose their jobs, Josh decides to handle it after their tour is over. However when David gets injured, Josh helps to keep him alive. The truth comes out.

I can guarantee that you will love this book. It comes with everything you will ever love. Hot, sexy men in uniform, Navy Seals, danger coming from all directions, tours of duty showing their strengths, and hot sex. I definitely recommend this wonderful story to anyone who loves men in uniform. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

Blurb: Tracking down the whereabouts of a girl last seen on a cruise ship takes David Lloyd far from the streets of Toronto and thrusts high into the seedy world of human trafficking.
Last seen departing a cruise ship in Newport, Curacao, Piper Falco is never heard from again.

Though no body was found, it seemed likely the brilliant Canadian university student had met a violent end. Her father asks David to look into the case when the investigation by the local authorities, and even the RCMP and Interpol, turns cold. What David finds opens his eyes to a world far from his comfortable life in urban Toronto, a world where young girls are subjected to sexual degradation, and human lives are nothing more than currency.

Review: This is book three in this series and you need to read it in order. It will give you a way into David and Jamie. They are still going strong even with their little bits of normal struggles that come up. Not only are they together like a married couple, but Jamie is now working with David. So its David Lloyd Investigations and Jamie Brennan Legal Services. That gives David pause just a bit but it sure does come in handy when the father of a missing girl comes in.
Piper had been working on an American owned cruise line when they realized she was not on the ship when they left port. She had went into Curacao and never came back. At first, they were thinking she came across a fatal end.

When things go wrong in some foreign countries they are not looked over right. As with this particular case, the police did a shabby job looking into it. So her father had asked for more help from the local authorities and got RCMP involved. Not to mention he had managed to get Interpol into the investigation.

This was way out of David’s league and he asks his partner and lover Jamie for his help in this. It was a bit out of Jamie’s way also but he did have the legal part of the business. It helped to have someone who knew law working with him. Not to mention the little side of sexual pleasures he can get in the office.

What they find is a something that truly does happen in real life. Girls are abducted and sold into sex slavery all the time. David comes across this and does everything in his powers to find this girl. There is a lot of amazing surprises to find in this book. You will be amazed with the twist and turns to it when you read it. It will catch your attention from the start and will keep it all the way to the end. You will love this book just as I did.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery, two hot and sexy men, dangers coming at them from all directions, shabby local law enforcements, twist, and turns that will make your stomach tighten, and an all around amazing story. I love that even with all the seriousness that this story has, there is just a hint of humor when it comes to Jamie and David. I love the fact that he is also helping Jenny further her education and get her life all straightened out. You will fall in love with these men with every read of this series.

Never one to shy away from a tough situation David agrees to look into the case, despite the tense situation with his partner’s family and the physical and emotional needs of the former-prostitute he’s taken under his wing.

Review: This is book two in this series and they should be read in order. This one was a pretty good story, even better than the first book. Only because in this story David and Jamie had decided to not only move in together but that they are just like a married couple. They seem to be lots happier in this book and I loved that even though this is a mystery story. There is still a bit of romance to it.

Sandra Klassen had come to David to help get her son Nathan out of prison for a double murder she swears he did not do. She wanted Davids help to get him and another young man out of prison. He finds out that the police investigation was sloppy to say the least and that the evidence wasn’t really there, yet they had convicted them of murder. David of course takes the case even though he was not completely recovered from being shot in his last case.

David takes on the case even though Jamie’s family is causing them to have some problems and that there is a lot of tense situations there. Also, he needs to help the former-prostitute that had been hurt in the last case to heal. He had taken Jenny in to his family, given her a place to heal with his grandmother.

This story is fantastic read especially if you love twist and turns, danger coming at you from all directions, two hot and sexy men, majorly hot sex, dependent young prostitutes trying to get their lives straightened out and crazy family members. It will catch your attention from the start and keep it all the way to the end. I also love that it starts out with just something so calming as redecorating their home. It just starts out so believable and keeps at that rate. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole story. I can’t wait for you guys to find out who was behind the deaths.

Blurb: Chase Murphy was like any teenager; not a jock, not a geek, not a stoner, and he just wanted to survive high school. Survive being the key word. Every day was brutal.

Brad Wilson was everything that Chase wasn’t, minus the drugs. All star football player, wrestling champ and Mr. Popular whose favorite pastime seemed to be tormenting Chase.

When Chase Murphy returns to his backwater home in North Carolina, after eight years in the Marine Corps, only to be confronted by his high school tormentor, Brad Wilson, he isn’t the same wimpy kid. His hatred for Brad and his buddies hadn’t dimmed but he wouldn’t be tormented any longer.

Only Brad isn’t interested in tormenting Chase; he is interested in something else entirely.

But will Chase be interested in the same thing?

Review: There are very few short stories and novellas that I can actually get into and find myself loving, however this story did just that.

I loved the fact that Chase and Brad had to overcome what was a painful start. Eight years ago, Chase was just like many teenagers just trying to survive high school. Brad was everything Chase wasn’t in high school, all-star football player, wrestling champ and very popular. He was also the main tormentor to Chase. He gave Chase hell all the way through school. Chase absolutely hated him for it.

Now eight years later Chase is back home after his stint in the U.S. Marine Corps. Running into Brad was expected, what was not expected was Brad’s reaction to Chase. Chase at first hated Brad however, Chase had not known at that time but Brad was definitely attracted to him. A little bit of show and tell, some action and Chase is finding out exactly what Brad is wanting.

It is the cutest novella I had come across in a while. It shows what happens to bullies in a different sort of way. That he was bullying him to hide the fact that maybe just maybe he was attracted to him back then. It gives you many things to think about. That made it just a bit more interesting. I loved it and I really wished it would get further into what they will be living through in such a small town where gay was not wanted.

This story was published twice; more words were added to this particular story. The first time it came out was in August 2012. I cannot wait to read more by Brenda. She has a very wonderful gift at telling stories that come off so very real to you. I loved the story and will be recommending it to everyone. This story has two very hot and sexy men, bullying, bits of anger, lots of making up, and some hot sex.

Blurb: For rancher, Ezra James, life is pretty simple. He wakes before dawn and spends his day working with the cattle he loves. For twenty years, the EZ Does It ranch has been enough to drown out his loneliness and guilt. To the world, he appears impervious to everything. The only chink in his armor – the man who owns the clothing store in town.

Palmer ‘Wyn’ Wynfield caught Ezra’s eye the first time the rancher stepped foot in the store. Though Ezra knew his large size intimidated others, his little self-confidence was shattered when Palmer backed away in apparent fear. In a moment of self-preservation, he referred to Wyn as Mr. Fancy Pants. That was six years ago, and he’s never been forgiven.
An early morning phone call changes all that. Though the line is scratchy, Ezra definitely hears the words he’s been waiting to hear for years. “I need you.”

This is book four in the Cattle Valley series. See the full series listing here

Review: This is book four to this amazing series however they should be read in order so that you get to know the wonderful characters. Characters that you will come to love. Each one has their own tragic story or painful story to tell. They are amazing and so full of love for each other that you can’t help but cheer them on.

Wyn and Ezra have been fighting the attraction between them. Ezra had gotten his feelings hurt the first time he walked into Wyn’s store, that he called him fancy pants. Which in turn hurt Wyn’s feelings. They were feeling like they were less than what they truly were. Pain from the past kept coming into their present lives. Until Wyn goes back to Oklahoma to settle his late father’s home and ranch. Everyone in his hometown was homophobic and was threatening him. Of course, it was funny when he calls Ezra to help him out. Ezra was screwing with their heads. Being very open about their lifestyles. But they both admit how they feel for each other.

When they came back to Cattle Valley things were getting better, except Ezra’s friends were giving Wyn a hard time. It seemed that everywhere they went, feelings were running hot. People looked at Ezra’s height and were frightened of him. However, he realized that if he came off friendlier that people tended not to be scared of him. He also realized how much he truly loved Wyn and how much Wyn loved him in return.

They have many things that they need to settle, but they realize that they have to do it together. I loved this story and would recommend reading it. If you love tender stories with so much heart then you will definitely love this series. Each one gets better and better. I can’t wait to read book five.

Blurb: Griff Matthews knew he looked like trouble but for a wolf shifter mechanic he was fairly laid back most of the time. Pleased that his Alpha was finally settled with his new mate, Griff longs to meet the man of his dreams. Little did he know he would find it that same evening, when he was too drunk to realize that his good-looking hook-up was actually his mate. Problem is when he woke up sober his bed was empty.

Derrick “Diablo” Franklin was just looking for a hook up with a like-minded shifter. The sexy cat shifter was deep undercover for the FBI and although his case was coming to an end, he had hopes for his career that didn’t involve finding a mate. However, after meeting Griff Diablo realized his plans might have to change.

But nothing is easy for the two men as they battle the FBI, a crime lord from Baton Rouge and a host of contenders looking to take Diablo away from Griff. And just who is Angel Bandures?

Please note this is book two of the Cloverleah Pack series. It can be read as a standalone, but you will learn more about the characters and story line if you read book one, The Reluctant Wolf as well.

Warning: Some people may find the content of this book objectionable. Includes m/m, graphic sexual situations, a few BDSM elements (not related to actual sexual scenes), strong language, a wolf, and a cat that are looking for their own happily ever after.

Review: This is book two in this wonderful series and should be read in order. Trust me you definitely need to read book one before this one so you can get a handle on all of the characters that you will definitely be falling in love with. Griff just wanted someone to love and to be his, but he didn’t expect to find him. Boy was he surprise that the one sexy man he found at his friends club would turn out to be him. Here he was drinking pretty heavily although shifters can’t really get that drunk, he hooks up with a cat shifter and has one night of passion and fire. What he had not expected was Diablo not only biting him and claiming him, but to be gone in the morning.

Diablo was an undercover federal agent and was just looking for a hookup, when he and the sexy wolf shifter Diablo were having a feast he has an urge to bite. To bite the man who is his mate. What a bad time to get called back to work. When he contacts Griff through their mind link, he realizes he has left one pissed off mate. Telling him what is going on, and hoping that his mate would want him when he gets back he doesn’t expect Griff to come down and be his back up. It would seem that Griff has a secret life that he hadn’t expected.

Griff was also Angel a crime lord from Florida. Ok there is more to that surprise but I can’t let that one out. You will love it, and you will love the fact that there is so much love between these two men that it will make you all hot and bothered. There is a lot of humor in this book that can make you laugh when you don’t expect it. There is a lot of danger coming from all directions and a lot of twist to this story. It is an amazing story that you will get caught in and can’t take your attention from.

I would recommend this not only for the hint of BDSM, but two hot and sexy shifters, wolves, panthers, lots of crazy magic going on, pack fights, lots of love and some majorly hot sex scenes. I love it and cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

Blurb: Kane Matthews, Alpha of his small wolf pack in Cloverleah has been raised to believe that mates are not possible for gay men and has lived his life accordingly. Kicked out of his home pack years before because of his sexual orientation Kane has built a solid and comfortable life for himself in the small town of Cloverleah.
Imagine his surprise when an unscheduled visit to the small town’s diner unleashes a flood of emotions in the man he didn’t think possible – not least of all, lust. But finding out it is possible for wolf shifters to have gay mates is just one of the things that Kane has to overcome if he is to have the forever future he has been hoping for.

Shawn Bailey never expected to find his mate. He is just too different – an “Other” who has the power to instill fear in any other shifter. After spending ten years on the run from his Alpha father, he spends most days just trying to stay alive. When a
chance encounter brings him face to face with his mate Shawn has to decide if the man in front of him is worth staying for.

But with hunters, Alpha challenges, Kane’s parents and a smitten Alpha from another pack all interfering in Kane and Shawn’s budding romance, not to mention some surprising answers about Shawn’s own unique talents can these two true mates find the happily ever after they are looking for?

Review: This is the first book in this new series and I am amazed at it. It is well written and you get caught at the first paragraph. It will keep you all the way to the end. I love Lisa’s gift at telling a story. Shawn and Kane are perfect characters. They come off so believable and very loveable.

Shawn was an alpha in his own way, but he also had some power behind him that seemed to scare everyone around him even other alphas. When he got hurt as a child, a blue bubble surrounded him keeping him protected. His so-called friends ran and told his father who at the time was alpha of their pack. He had been kicked out and on his own for over ten years. Never staying in one place to long because his father sent men after him to kill him even going as far as getting a witch to make some special bullets to try to kill him. When he landed in Cloverleah, he had landed a job at a dinner cooking. What he had not expected was his mate walking in.

Kane was alpha of the Cloverleah Pack and had always been taught since he was little that gay men did not have mates. So surprise was all the way, around when he caught the sweet scent of his mate. Of course, he had not known that he was his mate, but he definitely wanted him. After talking it over with his best friend and beta, he decided to show Shawn that he would not be harmed by his pack, keeping his distance. That is until danger came at his mate.

He knew he would do everything in his power to protect his mate. There are a lot of dangers coming for Shawn. This story has it all lots of hot and sexy men, Doms, awesome shifters not just wolves either, amazing story line, smoking hot sex, and lots of love. If you have, a chance to read this series you should start with this book and I can tell you that you won’t be disappointed. It is an amazing story about homophobic jerks who think that they have the right over some people and how there are still people out there to stand up to them and show them that they are wrong. It shows that Kane had been kicked out because he was gay by his father, and how in the end they both show up to help and support him when it was needed.

Blurb: Six years ago, Quinn Kelly barely escaped the brutal murder of his parents. Now the lone wolf is searching for a place to belong. Well aware of his proclivity for men, his nomadic life hasn’t allowed him to find anyone to call his own—until now.

Wolf-shifter and future alpha of his own pack, Killian Masters wants nothing more than his father’s approval. After meeting Quinn, he’s more determined than ever to make his father see who he is and how deeply he loves.

Captivated by their growing passion, the young lovers have a rude awakening when the vengeful alpha who murdered Quinn’s parents finds him, and vows to destroy anyone who gets in his way.
Some say the battle between good and evil is determined by which power is fed the most, but in nature, no power compares to that of an alpha’s claim.

Review: This is book two of this series and should be read in order. I have always loved the paranormal world especially when it gives you two very hot and sexy men. Shape shifting wolves are one of my favorite things to read about. Tyler has a gift to tell a story, bringing you wonderful characters, great worlds to lose yourself into, and a hot story line. Quinn barely escaped with his life when his parents were brutally killed six years ago. He is basically a lone wolf, and if you understand wolves, you know that they cannot live without a pack. He is not loved by many because of his sexual preference. He loves men not women and there are many out there who want it stopped.

When he meets Killian, who is a wolf shifter and soon to be alpha who turns his world upside down. He is hot and very tempting. Killian has always wanted his father’s approval and when he meets Quinn, he is more than determined to show his father who he is and how deeply he can love. How deep he is falling for Quinn. But there are dangers still out there, and they are gunning for Quinn. The alpha who had murdered Quinn’s parents was intent on making sure Quinn dies also.

Killian knows that he will do everything in his power to keep his mate safe, even if it means his life. He is however planning on having a long life with Quinn. The sex and sexual heat from these two will set the forest on fire. There is so much passion between them that you can feel the heat from them.

I liked the first story to this series, but this book is even better. There is so much description of each character, their worlds, the way they are together it just makes the story even more believable when an author does this. It makes it easy to get caught into a story when there is more to read about. This story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves shapeshifters, wolves, two hot and sexy men, lots of danger and excitement, and some very hot sex.

Blurb: Max and Kaelan, best friends and business partners for five years, are powerful casters with a tendency to get themselves into and out of all kinds of trouble. Pretty much the only thing they’ve been able to avoid is getting romantically involved – until now. Their sexual attraction hits them like a runaway fireball and they can’t keep their hands off each other.

While their sexual attraction burns out of control, they’ve attracted the attention of a dark caster named Jannes who’s planning a spell so potent that it could end the world. To keep them off-balance, he’s targeting Max and Kaelan through those they love, and there’s no one they love more than each other.

With friends, family to protect, and their only allies a group of casters who find it easier to fight than cooperate, the odds are stacked against them. So can Max and Kaelan keep it together and stop Jannes before he ends the world, or is the best they can do just killing time?

Review: Kaelan had been just buying a drink when he felt a power fairly strong, so strong that he had to find out what was going on. He was a caster, could sum up portals, do spells for good, and stop those who are evil. So when he opened up a portal and found a man and woman casting evil spells, he was surprise to find someone who was blocking himself from being found out. An investigator who was also trying to do the same thing Kaelan was doing. Max was a wealthy man who wanted to figure Kaelan out.

They had agreed to never make their relationship to sexual, but there was so much fire and passion in them. The only major problem was that someone was using that feeling against them. James was planning a spell so potent that it could end the world. So to keep Kaelen and Max off-balance he uses a spell to keep them off-balance. A spell to target the people they love, well it turns out that the ones they love the most are each other. Surprise for them all the way around.
They could not figure out how they knew what each other liked when they had not had sex before, or had they and just couldn’t remember. With friends, family to protect, and their only allies a group of casters who find it easier to fight than cooperate, the odds are stacked against them. So can Max and Kaelan keep it together and stop James before he ends the world, or is the best they can do just killing time?

I love the way they are around each other. One of their major rules is that if they were bringing sexual partners home, that it was done in the bedroom no other place in the house. Of course, Kaelan broke that one once, and what Max did to him was funny as hell. I loved the cold drink against the bare skin. The sex in this story is majorly hot, sensuous and a bit kinky. You can tell from the first chapter in the book that these two want each other bad, so I loved the fact that they did hook up in the story.

They are very strong casters with lots of powers. This story caught my attention from the very beginning and kept it all the way to the end. It is told with just a hint of humor to it that I loved it even more, then the serious tone that it uses. If you love a good mystery, even though it isn’t really a mystery story then you will get a kick out of this story. It brings a fantasy to a whole new level. I have read many stories about witches and warlocks but this one shows the powers that are used for stopping evil casters from hurting others.

I would recommend this to anyone who loves sexy men fighting their attraction, loyalty between friends, powers that are used to fight the evils of the world, hot sex, and quirky attitudes. I would be reading it again, it is perfect book to read when it is cold outside, and you want to lose yourself in a good story.

Blurb: Given the powers of an Incubus, could you resist the urge to take the one man you’ve always secretly wanted?

Sex makes the world go round, right?

Or so it seems to Cole Turner, a Seer who can See everyone’s future except his own, when a gift from his Dreamwalking best friend Luke turns his world upside down. Overnight, Cole gains all the allure of an Incubus, drawing suitors to him like moths to a flame. But after a few days of revelling in the fun, reality takes a turn—the mysterious drug he took, known only as “Night,” had to come from someone, and that someone is pissed, on a homicidal scale. Each sexual encounter makes Cole’s attraction grow stronger, making it ever more difficult to just walk outside. And Luke, the Seer’s go-to in times of need, now wants him like everyone else, a point made even worse by the secret desires Cole has for the friend he had always assumed was straight.

Swamped in sex, powerless to See if the future holds any hope for salvation, and at constant risk of losing both his best friend and his life, Cole is about to find out if he’s strong enough to beat the Night racing through his system—and if his relationship with Luke is strong enough to survive it as well.

Review: This is the first book in this series. It does contain sex with multiple parties so if you are one that can’t handle it you shouldn’t read this story. Luke gives Cole what is called Night. A drug to help him be better at seeing what is going to happen. What he had not expected was that Night is actually Incubus cum concentrated. Talk about a raging turn on. Everywhere he goes men and women are throwing themselves at him. Too bad the one man he really wants is not only his best friend but also straight as an arrow.

That was what he thought at least. It turns out that he had kissed Luke before he had taken the drug. And Luke let him, seemed to actually like it. This story is actually funny to say the least. You see a man going out just walking down the street and all of a sudden, men and women are touching, licking, and kissing at him. Doesn’t matter if they are straight or not, he had the essence of an incubus. An incubus that is pissed off to say the least. Now all he has to do is figure out what he is going to do with all those throwing themselves at him, a best friend who wants him all of a sudden, and an incubus wanting revenge.

This story brings out all sorts of questions and not very many answers. However, I truly loved it. It made me laugh through the whole story. It caught my attention from the start and did keep it all the way to the end. I loved how the characters mix with each other and to say the sex is not only hot but also full of passion that would set the sheets on fire. I loved the way Cole wants Nick but assumes that Nick is completely straight. It’s the saying “It’s what you get for thinking” that gets me the whole time reading this. All he wanted was to see better, he could see everyone around him, but when it comes to his own life he cannot see any of it. So how did he end up wanted by everyone?

I would recommend this story to anyone who loves multiple partners, crazy men and women, hot sex, major lust for a best friend, the paranormal worlds, and an angry incubus who is out to get the one who sucked his essence out and gave it away. I told you it was funny.

Blurb: How far is Cody willing to go to keep his dragon?

Kirit is lonely and he’s sick of coming home from the king’s assignments to a cold, empty cave. After searching for years for a mate, Kirit decides it’s time to try a new approach. Against the advice of all his friends, he heads for the human side of the world. There he finds Cody, and the man is everything he could ever want. It takes a little bit of persuasion, but he manages to talk Cody into coming back with him to Faerie.

Within a week of arriving, Cody is beginning to rethink his impulsive decision. He’s trekked across more terrain than he would care to remember, been summoned to meet a king, and flown on a dragon—not an experience he’s willing to repeat anytime soon. Kirit’s growly possessiveness is starting to wear on his nerves, and the unexpected hostility he encounters at the palace is almost enough to make him give up.

But Cody is stubborn. He may not be willing to admit it out loud, but Kirit has got under his skin. He may even, shockingly enough, love the big guy.
Now Cody has to decide what he’s willing to do to keep the man of his dreams.

Review: This is the first book in this series and I can tell from the first paragraph that it was going to be an amazing read and I was right. It gave me a world full of fantasies that were just perfect. I love the paranormal worlds a lot more than just a normal romance story because it seems that so much more thought went goes into it. This is about amazing dragon shifters and a fae court. There is a mixture of different types of paranormals in this book. I love that even though Cody was a rent boy, he still seems to have not lost that zeal of life. He is just trying to pay the rent and bills so he sells his body to do it. However, he had decided for a break, seems that even he was getting tired of the same old same old. Hiding behind a dumpster in the alley, taking a break from the problems around him Cody was found by Kirit. A very sexy man with an attitude and a quirky way of talking.

Kirit was tired of living in a world without a mate, so he decides to go to earth and search for his one and only. Although dragons can have many choices, they get a sense from one by their scent, however due to a fight Kirit had lost that part of him, so he has to wait for a pull of some sort. He had at first decided to use a witch to help him find his mate, but surprise he finds it while out walking from a club. He felt the pull to take this man. He is of an old world standing so when Cody talks most of the time he has no idea what he is saying.

Once Cody accepts, he whisks him back through the portal to his world. Only to find himself and his mate stuck at the palace, because the king wanted to meet Cody. They get stuck there when a council was going to come there to court. Shemas wanted Kirit’s help with them. What they had not expected was it was all a test to see if Cody could handle it. With Cody’s quirky attitude, he was well-loved by many, even fighting his own battles when needed. The only problem was a dragon wants to always be the hero so he had to fix that part of it.

This story is funny and I pretty much laughed through the whole book. Every time someone said something it would be answered with, I don’t understand that. It was a recurring joke for all of them. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. It is a quirky little story and I was amazed to find out that I read it in one setting. I would recommend this story to anyone who loved the paranormal worlds, dragons, sexy men, and hot sex. Bring on book two because I can’t wait to read it.

Brishen does not want to scare his small mate. The man has been through enough, but he also wants to be close to him, needing to feel the physical touch of his mate to ease his own ache, and to prove that he’s not what the rumors say he is.

After Gabriel discovers he is pregnant with Brishen’s pup, the two begin to make small steps toward trust, but one of the omegas of Gabriel’s former pack is out for revenge, and when he puts Gabriel into harm’s way, Brishen will have to rush to his mate’s side before he loses everything he holds dear.

Review: Once again, Marcy has written another fantastic story. I love the way it just captures my attention and never let’s go. It has such twist and turns, with danger always there and the love of two sexy men protecting each other.

 

Gabriel is an omega Luna werewolf and has escaped his old pack trying to save the other omegas. Unfortunately, being re-captured and almost dying doesn’t help. He never wanted a mate, always afraid and wishing he was anyone else. However, he finds himself not only saved by a mate, but one who is a very powerful alpha. Brishen is one of four ancient werewolves who has an amazing power. He is strong and capable, but has such a bad reputation of being ruthless and dangerous. Gabriel slowly lets the powerful man into his life and heart, understanding him better than anyone else ever has.

 

The sex is amazingly hot, sensuous and makes you wish there was an air conditioner around to cool you off. This story makes you wish you were there watching everything that happens and has you rooting for Brishen and Gabriel the whole time. I loved this story and know that it will be cherished and read over and over.

Review: This book was amazing if not bizarre. I love the paranormal worlds especially when it involves two very hot and sexy men. Julia has a great ability to write such wonderful stories. The abilities to mix such emotions and feelings between two wonderful men who only want a mate.

　

Coy is a werewolf and Denver is a vampire pretty unique characters who only want to find love. Although they were not the ones who actually signed up for the paranormal dating service, they did find true love. They have their strengths and weaknesses that complement each other. Coy is a cowboy who originally thinks vampires are stiff and uppity with attitudes. However they are both shocked when they realize they definitely have the hots for each other and it goes even further for they are falling for each other fast.

　

I hope there is more to this story. It would make for a great series, although I wished that it were longer in length with more description and action. It was pretty hot but I want to know more about where each other come from, how they got to where they are, now and where they want to head. It does make for a quick read with bits of humor throughout. I did like the story.

Review: Wow, this book is something else. It was amazing how they made the whole book flow just perfect. It had the right amount of danger, excitement, and adventure. The way they can make the whole story magical.

　

Angel was a NFL star quarterback who had been injured during one game made his home in Angel Falls. He was genuine, gentle, kind and sort of a recluse. He finds an injured man who had wings and decides to bring him home. Klintic is a fae warrior prince that got betrayed by his father and kicked out of his realm. He is strong and powerful with lots of magical gifts. He has met his mate in this human who has done everything to help him. The sex is out of this world all hot and sensuous. You can’t help but fall for these two men.

　

I admit this book made me wonder about all sorts of things, but I absolutely loved it. It is divided into two stories so you have to read the next book to get the full amount of laughter and fun. I laughed so hard that I wasn’t really sure I would stop. It showed what happens when people get betrayed by those claiming they loved them. It shows the abilities to overcome all their hardships and pain, and then turn them into passion and fire. I loved this story and will definitely be checking out the rest of Stephanie’s books. I recommend reading this.
