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

Lynn Hagen was one of the first authors of gay romance that I had read and she got me hooked. Now I admit that all of those were paranormal, so when this series came out I was wondering how they would turn out. So you can imagine my surprise that they were the right story for me. This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it there all the way to the end.

Darien is the owner of the construction crew that was going to rebuild an old town and help to revive it. Wildfire had been purchased and was going to be turned into the perfect place for the gay community. He had his sights set on one of the men behind the purchase and realizes that Wildfire might just be his perfect home.

Matthew had been born into a home that was always broke, and made his fortune with hard work and dedication. When his life started to unravel due to a bad choice with a man, he started to drink to forget. His best friends thought buying an old ghost town, well almost ghost town, he just went a long with it. He had lost his ability to trust and needed a reason to start over. I would say Darien is up for the job.

It was a pretty good story and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a fresh and unique idea that I had a lot of fun with. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next story.

Veronica’s Review: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts

Darian has a construction company, and he and his crew are working to restore a small town that was purchased by Matthew and his friends. The first time that Darien saw Matthew, he was imagining how many flat surfaces he can have Matthew on, but he’s not interested in a relationship.

However Matthew doesn’t trust anyone other than his friends, and he isn’t interested in hooking up or getting involved with anyone, since recently, he was accused of a heinous act and he’s still paying the price of the person that is trying to ruin his life.

When Matthew’s life is imploding, although his friends are there supporting him, he’s more surprise that Darien is there to literally lift him up and help him get back on his feet, even when he found out the reason. When a past lover comes back to make more trouble for Matthew and he’s being questioned by the Police, Darien runs to his rescue and shows him that he can be trusted and that they can both have a future together.

I would definitely recommend this story to anyone interested.

Review: Dane is living in a small town and hears all the tales about the occupants of the mountains, especially the Rising men, and he thinks that there’re just myths. One night after work, Dane is walking home and is nearly hit by a driver. When the person gets out of the truck and asks him if he’s ok, within a blink of the eye, the guy bites Dane and takes him up further into the mountains.

Clint is on his way home when he finds his mate on the side of the road. With one whiff of his scent, he bites him and takes him to his home. Clint is the eldest of his siblings and he’s ecstatic yet scared that he found his mate. Dane sees himself as imperfect, but all Clint sees is a handsome man. There are dangers in the mountains, and the biggest one is his father, when he decides that he wants Clint’s mate. Clint will go to any length to make sure that never happens, even if he has to kill his own father.

I love this author’s work and would recommend to anyone interested in reading about paranormals.

Review:  Each book in the Demon Warriors collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. This series is actually a branch off from many other series.  The very first book you should start to read is a Brac Pack series book.  Then it branches off to Brac Village, Zeus’s Pack, Christian’s Coven, Brac Pack Next Generation and a few others.

When it comes to books like these I always look forward to starting my reading all over again, until I get to the new book.  The characters are fascinating and a blast to get to know.  I have my favorites I can tell you that.  This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end like I knew it would.

Jaden is the grim reaper or better known as Death.  Pan is his brother and is known as life.  The two cannot void each other out, or life as all knows it is over.  Neither know what the other does or can realize just how important each other truly is.  All of that changes when Jaden finds his mate.  He has never been loved and doesn’t know if he can love, but damn the little rabbit might just show him some new things.  The problem is Hilton is ill.  To know what happens, you must read this book.

There are quite a bit of twists and turns that makes this story even more entertaining.  I have always loved how they have a serious tone to them, but humor always kicks its ass.  Lynn was in fact my first actual favorite author and she continues to write some pretty quirky stories to keep my attention.  I can’t wait to see what other stories she comes up with.  I loved it and would definitely recommend it.

Review: Each book in The Remus Brothers collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. In fact I would recommend reading the very first series that leads you to this one. Brac Pack is branched off into several other series that will lead you to this one. 

I came across Lynn Hagen when she wrote her very first book for the Brac Pack series and never looked back. You will meet a group of alpha’s that want the love of their mates. They live many centuries and their mates make their lives better and a bit interesting. Most of the time they have their serious tones but there is quite a bit of humor mixed in with them that make them even more fascinating for me. Each story will have danger, excitement, adventure, and a touch of kink to them that will keep your attention the whole time, like it does for me. 

Houston has met his mate, saved him from the hyenas.  However it would seem Devin has some secrets of his own.  His mother’s boyfriend had his son taken away from him, and he is doing everything in his power to try to get him back.  Houston however plans to keep them both, so he is going to get Jordan back for his mate.  However when Cyrus escapes from prison with intent on getting even with Devin, the stakes go up even higher.

I love how Lynn doesn’t let the guys become too much alpha for their mates, making their heart bleed when they are hurt and for kicking their own asses when they hurt their mates. I have always enjoyed reading one of Lynn Hagen’s stories and I can see that it will not change in the future.

I also loved how these men will go to the extremes to get the ones the love back.

Minzhe is Christian’s oldest son and has two other fathers. After the attack, Minzhe managed to catch one of them to interrogate, but finds out that not everything is as it seems. The man was as innocent and clueless as one could be. He also just so happens to be Minzhe’s mate. Then he finds out that his little mate’s life has been horrible. He has been abused by his uncle. Minzhe is going to make sure his mate heals and never sees harm again. That is as soon as he kicks some serious ass.

Simon has been abused by his uncle for so long, but only assumes it is because he is gay. Turns out there are some major secrets being held. All he wants his to live happily with his cat, but it doesn’t appear to be what is to happen. Even though the sexy man wants answers, he is attracted to Minzhe.

Demarco is an omega who has found his mate. The problem is he had always told that omegas are supposed to be shy and obedient, which he is no. He is strong, stubborn and independent. He doesn’t want to be controlled and told what to do. He thinks that Kade will be like that. To top it off there is others out there that want him bad and it is up to his mate to keep him safe.

Kade is a strong wolf but doesn’t want Demarco the way Demarco thinks. He likes his mate the way his is, with a feisty attitude and stubborn as all get out. Now all he has to do is to get the man to see that. However with danger floating around looking for his mate, he is going to protect his mate with all he has, even if it means putting his foot down.

The connected series include Brac Pack, Brac Village, Christian’s Coven, Zeus’s Pack, Demon Warriors and Shadow Tribe.

Paden is a fairy and his mate is a vampire. Fairy law makes it impossible to mate someone who is not fairy. He tries to run from it but when he gets his sexy little ass in trouble it is his mate that saves him. But damn does he give a good effort in staying away.

Michaya is one of the twin’s son, and has the gift of being able to get his sexy mate pregnant, which was a bonus. He is also Christian’s nephew as well so he has the back up when things go wrong, and things do in fact go wrong. So hot damn, we get to see the old guys showing up, not that they will ever look old.

Paden has become a favorite character after reading about this. I loved the whole pregnancy also. He doesn’t let anything get to him, and that includes his mate. He is as feisty as they come and is a spit fire mate.

I enjoyed reading this story and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I had so much fun in fact that I would definitely not only recommend it, but I will read it again.

I actually came across Lynn Hagen when her first book, in the Brac Pack series came out. I was intrigued by not only the characters, but the world she wrote about. They are full of humor  and for me, that is a major plus in a good romance. The Alphas are very protective of their mates. And their mates give them hell at every turn.

Each story has excitement, a bit of adventure and danger added in to make them juiceier. So when this story came out I hopped to it and grabbed it. I love how it seems that everyone in the family gets a mate, including the humans. Oscar has always been one of my favorites.

When he was five years old, Oscar’s legs were badly damaged in a house fire. He had lost his parents to it, and went to live with his uncle. His uncle mated a bear shifter, and he was raised among the paranormal ever since. He had decided to move with all the others to the crazy town of Dalton Falls.

Now Oscar is adorable but he is also a menace when it comes to cars. Breaking down just happens to find himself a mate. A very stubborn mate who loves to fight with the fey in the house.

Hale is a deputy in town and a wolf shifter. He has found his mate and by gods, he will bite anyone that comes close to his little man. His problem is though trying to get his brother cleaned and protect his little mate from the dangers in the world.

Like I said, Oscar is one of my favorites. He doesn’t let anything get to him, and that includes his mate. He is as feisty as they come and is a spit fire mate.

I enjoyed reading this story and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I had so much fun in fact that I would definitely not only recommend it, but I will read it again.

Review: Each book in the Brac Pack Next Gen collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. This is also branched off from her previous series. These are the children of the original men so if you want the full effect start off with Brac Pack, Brac Village, Zeus’s Pack, Christian’s Coven, and so on.

I love the way Lynn Hagen can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by Lynn. My attention was caught with the first sentence and I just couldn’t put the book down. This is one of those types that even after you have read the whole book you just want to go back and read it again.

Dennis is this little swan shifter who has a big goofy attitude. The last time he visited Brac Village, he came home missing a night. He only knows that the damn tiger is his mate. He just doesn’t know if he should trust him or not.

Ryker is a tiger shifter with a grudge. He has a past that he has not let anyone know about, one that could get everyone killed. He must protect his mate at all cost, but boy was the man making it hard.

Now normally I am all for Lynn’s stories, but this series doesn’t have the same lift as the other ones have. It comes off a bit rushed and the characters are just not catchy enough. They don’t seem to mix very well. There is a bit of a difficult time, then a fight, hookup and love. They just seem to be missing something major in them.

I hate to say it but this series is turning into a bust with me. Which is strange because normally there is something about the way that Lynn tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time, but it will more than likely have you laughing your ass off at parts of it. This story didn’t do that for me like it should have.

The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives. Which is a major thing for me. I did enjoy reading it and look forward to seeing what the next story will be like.

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

This series is branched off from the original stories written by Lynn. To get a really great read I would start with Brac Pack and then read the branch offs from that series. They include Brac Village, Zeus’s Pack, and Christian’s Cove and so on. This series is the children from the original men you read before. You will see the fathers in this series at certain points and I have to admit that usually it is Maverick. Hot damn that man is fine.

Omar and Kahl have known from the time they were children that they were mates. He had known from a young age about paranormals and mates. His uncle, the man who raised him was mated to a shifter. Whereas Kahl is half dragon shifter and half cheetah shifter. They wanted each other more than anything but Kahl knows a secret. He can get his mate pregnant and Omar had not wanted children. Then the witch from the past comes after them all.

Kahl is the beta to their pack but damn he acts more like an alpha if anything. He also has this strong need to protect his mate.

I love this story and can’t wait to read the next book. I also love how alpha males are so tender with their mates.

I had fun with his and would definitely recommend it.

This particular book is about Maverick’s grandson Xavier. He doesn’t want to live in his grandfather’s shadow anymore so he has decided to go live with Matthew and his friends. He had not expected to find himself a mate though. One who just happens to be all Alpha male and a wolf. What is an elf to do?

He has some issues and is afraid of what his grandfather would say if he found out that he bottomed for his mate. He has some surprises in store for himself that is for sure.

Eric finds he is mated to a gorgeous bad boy and is about to find out that elf’s are not exactly right in the head. His mate has some issues with sex but he will be glad to show him how fun it will be. Now all he has to do is to keep his mate safe and find out who wants him dead.

I love this story and can’t wait to read the next book. I also love how Alpha males are so tender with their mates. I had fun with his and would definitely recommend it.

Navarez was kidnapped and tortured as a teenager. He hasn’t been able to get past the nightmares that still haunt him. He lives with chaos as a constant companion, that is, until he meets Avery, a cat shifter who quiets the demons inside of him and shines light into Rez’s dark world.

When Avery mysteriously disappears, it’s up to Rez to find his mate. He tracks down his mate who is in the clutches of the same man who tortured him all those years ago.

Worse, Avery is dying and Jaden shows up to claim his soul, but Rez isn’t giving his mate up so easily, not when Avery is carrying his child.

You will see the fathers in the serious at some point, or at least that is what I have seen in these two stories so far.

Several years ago when Rez was a teenager he had been abducted by a demon who changed Rez from who he was to who he is now. At twenty-four it was time to get on with his life, but his fathers were not so easy to get them to agree. Ceri was one scary vampire but his father had reason to be scared. He has decided to move in with Matthew and the others. What he finds is his gorgeous mate. A mate that is going to be shocked as hell.

Avery had been abducted and dangled from a rope off of a freaking bridge. He was no longer going to be afraid. Yeah right, at the first signs of something different he will faint. He wanted a mate that was peaceful, docile, chivalrous and easy to get along with. What he got was one scary ass vampire who looked like he would eat him. Avery was a beautiful cat shifter who is as sweet as can be. Boy is he in for more shocks.

The demon from the past is determined to tear Rez apart, but he is going to see that his mate dies. It is up to the family to save Avery. When Jaden shows up to take Avery’s soul, there is hell to pay. No one is going to get Avery or their child.

What makes this story even better is the fact that Rez is a part of Christian’s linage so he can get his mate pregnant. There is nothing better than a man who can have a baby. Cracks me up every time.

I can’t wait to read the next story.

I love the way Lynn Hagen can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by Lynn. My attention was caught with the first sentence and I just couldn’t put the book down. This is one of those types that even after you have read the whole book you just want to go back and read it again.

There is a lot of action, danger, suspense and a bit of kink in this book. I love how it has that serious tone to it but there is so much humor in it that your attention is captivated throughout it all. I think my favorite is the fact that Taylor shifts into this cute little bunny.
Taylor is a very cute little bunny shifter whose ass is about to get fried. He was supposed to do one thing and ended up getting mixed up with a drug bust. To save his cute little ass he was going to turn states evidence. He was brought to Dalton Falls. A town that is known to have the paranormal.

He had not expected to find his mate or the trouble he is in. His mate has some problems of his own.

Nevada was tired of about everything. His boyfriend turned out to be nothing more than a whore so he has decided to join his family in Dalton Falls. He has made the decision not to trust anyone nor fall for any cute little ass he sees.

Too bad that went out the window when he finds out that Taylor is his mate. Then the secrets just got in the way, can Nevada give up his hatred for lying to except his mate or not. Not to mention keeping his mate from getting killed at the same time. Things were about to change.

It was the perfect story for me and I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next story. When Lynn puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Jake has had a hard life. His father was so focused and possessive of his mother, that he didn’t even want her near Jake or his brother Cole. When she had taken her life, he had shot Jake and Cole. Cole was insane, killing anyone that even comes close to hurting Jake. Jake had just wanted someone to love and for them to love him back.

It had not gone to plan.

Now he had two gorgeous men that didn’t even give him the time of day. One he had always wanted had left him after their one time together. Jake didn’t know what to do about Zach or Quad. They both acted that they didn’t want him, and then Zach finally makes a move and then leaves him. Now Quad is acting like he wants him.

Things are just about screwed the hell up.

Zach had never wanted a relationship. He wanted Jake but had never made a move. Then what does he do after their one night of sex, he runs. Then he ends up at his parents and his life is about to get even crazier. Russians mistake him for Quad and tear him up pretty good. Now he has two men and nights full of nightmares.

How can he go forward when his head is stuck in the nightmares?
Quad is a mercenary and kills those who deserve it. After a fucked up attempt at taking out the Russian drug lord, he heads home.

Those he tried to kill are coming after him. Then he finds and saves Zach from certain torture. On top of that, Jake is thinking that both of them are just screwing him over. Now he has to figure out how to stay alive when Jake’s brother comes for him, when the Russian’s send their assassin and two pissed off mates. This is not going to be easy.

When these three get their crap together it starts to heat up. At first I thought Jake came off as an omega, but then I realized he was not what you would think he is. He is an enforcer who just lived through some harsh crap. I wasn’t so sure Quad or Zach would ever figure it out. They don’t find their mates like many other paranormal stories do. They go through a primal heat that usually ends up with their mates pregnant. This is a bonus for me.

It was the perfect story for me and I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next story. What makes it even better is that the mates can get pregnant. There is nothing better than a male having to go through labor to me. When Lynn puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

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

Dane is my absolute favorite prim in this series. He is the type that comes up to you and ask for a hug. Or if you look like you need a hug, he will try to give you one. He has such a big heart and tender feelings that you want to wrap him up and hold him safe.

The other prims are such asses to him that you want to smack the crap out of them. Dane has wanted Syn from the moment he saw him, but instead of saying something he just runs from Syn. He is so damn fragile that he comes off as more than just a submissive. There is just something about him that pulls you to him.

Syn on the other hand is a strong cat, but he is just the mechanic back home. He has wanted Dane from the start also, but every time he got close Dane would run. Then his father and brother came up with a very bad idea and it turns out that it is his father’s doing.

He thinks there is a war coming and he wants Syn to go to the vampires and wolves to ask for help. What he is hoping for is war. He wants to send Dane with Syn. When Dane is hurt and dying, Syn takes the help from a vampire that might just hurt them all. Syn will do anything and everything to keep his mate safe.

There is something about the way that Lynn tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time, but it will more than likely have you laughing your ass off at parts of it. Although this one is a bit different because of Dane, I absolutely loved it. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives.

I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series. One that I will have to read over and over. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story. It was the perfect story for me and I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next story.

What makes it even better is that the mates can get pregnant. There is nothing better than a male having to go through labor to me. When Lynn puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Quad McDaniel’s life changed forever the night he was attacked by a wolf. Now, he turns furry every full moon. Avoiding red meat and anything that makes him aggressive is his prime goal in life. But when his convertible breaks down in some Podunk town, becoming the beast within is no longer a choice. It’s instinctive.

Gypsy Govanivinch just wants to live a quiet life in Trinity Valley, running his roadhouse tavern. He doesn’t need an overly aggressive shifter coming into his town and messing with his peaceful little world, no matter how gorgeous the man looked.

Life never asked Quad or Gypsy what they wanted. It simply gave them what they needed, whether they agreed or not. Fate brought them together but it’s up to Quad and Gypsy to stay alive long enough to appreciate what they’ve been given. And when others work to prevent that, fighting together might be the only chance they have of surviving.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This was a wacky, crazy, and pretty damn good read. I have never read a book where each chapter is by a different author. But I must say they did a great job.

Quad is changed into a wolf shifter and abandoned by his maker. Now months later Quad is driving in his new car when it decides to die outside a little town called Trinity Valley. From there things just get weirder and weirder.

Gypsy is not human himself and is able to explain to Quad a little about shifters. But Gypsy has been hurt by shifters before and has a pretty big issue with them. But that doesn’t stop these two from mixing it up both in and out of bed. The chemistry is there from the start even when they don’t seem to like each other much.

For a book written by twenty-five different authors, there was a good flow in the story. It was fast paced and gave the needed information without dragging down the story with too much. The sex was steamy and very hot. The main characters were easy to like and personable.

A lot happens in a very short amount of time. There was tons of twist and turns going on throughout as Quad and Gypsy try to figure out what the hell is going on. There was some wicked planning going on by the bad guys.

This was a well written story by some of my favorite authors. It was entertaining, humorous, sexy, and wicked fun to read.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is book eighteen in the Brac Village series and they need to be read in order. Each book gives you a new romantic couple to fall in love with, but they are intertwined in the earlier books. To truly figure out who everyone is you need to start with Brac Pack first. It is also mixed in with Demon Warriors, Zeus Pack, Christian’s Coven, and a few others. All of the characters are found in most of those books. I don’t think that there is anything better than a good paranormal romance, unless it is one that involves two gorgeous men who are finding themselves and their mates. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by Lynn.

There is something about the way that Lynn tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time, but it will more than likely have you laughing your ass off. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives. I had a blast reading this story.

Dylan’s father passed away over five years ago. It had left him and his little brother living with their uncle. When his uncle inherited a sweet house in Brac Village, he was extremely overjoyed. It even had a nice big back yard. He meets Paine, when Paine came over to greet them and welcome them to town. His little brother keeps saying that Paine is a big cat, but Omar is known to have a great imagination.

Paine has found his mate, but he wished that he had met him in human form instead of his cheetah form. So he knew he had to go greet them all and was quite surprised when Omar knows right off the bat that he is the nice kitty from the woods. Things get a bit complicated when the home they owned was in fact used to kill others.

Dylan and his family were tricked into coming there by another uncle bent on experimenting on Omar for his special gifts. He will do everything in his powers to keep his mate and new family safe. Now all he has to do is to get Dylan used to the paranormal world he has come to live in.

I absolutely love this book almost as much as I have loved the other’s in this series. I can’t wait to read the next story. When Lynn puts out a book, I am usually there to eat them up. They do have a bit of a serious tone to them but there is a lot of humor in them that I love. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book. I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying and loving but mainly laughing your ass off.

What is better than a gorgeous man who is mated to a shape shifter, hot sex, a cute kid with a special ability to see what everyone in their true form is, demons, excitement, suspense, lots of action and danger? I would recommend reading it, trust me you will love these men and their families.

The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives.

I had a blast reading this story. Zeke’s brotherChase had dared him and bribed him to go into the Manacle. He swore up and down that it was full of vampires. Zeke really didn’t want to but he did. He also caught the eye of Christo and managed to get right in the club. However, he wasn’t gay and was not going to go there. That is what he thought anyhow.

Christo had been around for quite a long time, he wanted his mate but he was also known to screw any one he liked. Now standing before him is his mate. Not only does he have to figure out how to tell him that he is his mate, he has to tell him that he is a vampire. He also has to protect his mate and mate’s brothers. Things were not so tidy after all. He was related to a hunter. Things were about to heat up really fast.

I absolutely love this book almost as much as I have loved the other’s in this series. I can’t wait to read the next story. When Lynn puts out a book, I am usually there to eat them up. They do have a bit of a serious tone to them but there is a lot of humor in them that I love. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing and loving.
