Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in Dark Riders 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. I love the way Lynn 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.

Jake’s life has been hell for so long that he has given up. His mother didn’t give a damn about him and his stepfather beat the crap out of him daily. Well he and his two friends did. When he had been younger he had been caught with another boy and his life had been a living hell ever since. That was how he met Emilio. Emilio had saved him from a beating. He worked at Andromeda ever since he started hanging out there.

Emilio had taken one look at Jake and wanted him. The problem was Emilio had a past and didn’t want Jake to have to deal with that and the fact that he was a wolf. He kept an eye out for him and over him, but this one time he was almost too late. Jake had overdosed on some drugs at the club and Emilio found him. He had to even give him CPR to revive him. Emilio knew he would have to take steps farther with the man he was falling in love with.

Now Jake was hunted by not only his stepfather, darlings, the Blood Hearts, and striker. He was in some serious crap now, and he had to learn to trust the one man made for him. This story was amazing, although when it comes from Lynn I can guarantee that it will be. I loved it and look forward to the next story in this series. I couldn’t take my eyes off this story till the very end. It gave me everything I could possibly want in a story. I loved it.

I would recommend reading this, especially if you love gorgeous men, angst and pain, excitement, passion and fire, hot sex and dangerous situations. Not to mention men that turn into wolves.

Review: This was an intriguing story and was quite surprised by it. I wasn’t really sure if I loved it though. It doesn’t have the same zing as all of Lynn’s other stories have had. It was quite refreshing, but I wasn’t so sure what to think about it. It was a blast to read though. The thing that caught my attention was that it didn’t really have the humor that the other stories really had. It had more of a serious tone to it, which had me off kilter.

Justin is a cute twenty year old that was raised in foster care homes and then pretty much spent most of his time at his best friend’s house. He spent most of his life sick and not able to do many things. Although his best friend Caleb had a part of the times when trouble found them.

He has been in love with Caleb’s father for a long time, but didn’t think Caleb knew that Justin was even gay. He had not planned on letting him know any time soon. Caleb was his one and only best friend and he didn’t want to lose him. When strange things started happening, it was Caleb’s father that brought him in.

Demetri had not really known what Justin’s feelings were for him. All he knew was Justin was his mate. He knew things were getting out of control with his wolves, the rogues, the vampires, and his own family. However, he planned on protecting his mistress or in most cases known as mate. Then when he figured out what was really wrong with Justin and who Justin’s real father was things would heat up real fast.

These two getting together is extremely hot, but a bit off. I don’t know what it really is, but there was something missing in this story. However, I did love the story. It just didn’t make it to my favorite’s list. I do hope that this is the start to a series though because I think once it gets started it will make the book come out in a different light.

I didn’t much care for the way Demetri and his son acted around each other. It might have been part of the reason for not truly loving this story like most of Lynn’s books. It does give you sexy men, powerful vampires and werewolves, hot sex, danger, excitement and a lot of surprises. It has many twists and turns to this story that made it a fascinating story. I would definitely recommend reading it.

Review: Robbie knew in his heart that if he didn’t escape his home and father, that he might turn out to be just as hateful as his father. Figuring he would stop off at his brothers to tell him good-bye. His brother had pretty much disowned Isaac and considered him dead. If his father found out that he was gay also, his father would just do the same to him. Showing up at Isaac’s in the middle of the night, left him wondering what he was going to do. Here he is planning on just escaping, and ends up meeting his mate.

Shott had lost his family to a robber at a store one night when he was thirteen, so he had some issues. However when he comes in late one night to find a young and gorgeous man in their kitchen his first instincts were to harm. Then he ended up talking to the man. He was glad he had not hurt Robbie when he finds out that he is Isaac’s brother, but couldn’t figure out what to do with a mate. A mate that can get pregnant.

With the passing of time, Robbie desires to stay with his mate, but he isn’t ready to give up his attitude yet. Then trouble found Robbie and things get even dicer. Shott knows one thing and that is to protect his mate no matter what.

I have always loved a good paranormal especially when it involves two gorgeous and sexy men. What makes it better is that in this series the mates can get pregnant. I always get a kick out of that, kind of like pay backs. I had a blast reading this story and look forward to the next book. The only problem I had with this is the ending of the story. I got a bit lost in who the children were and how in seven months time they had children who were more mobile. However, I loved it and would recommend reading this amazing book.

It gives you gorgeous shifters, male pregnancy, excitement, hot sex, and dangerous situations. Lynn always gives you an amazing book to fall in love with. Characters that are full of heart and soul, the best plots and so much more. It had caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything I could want in this story. Trust me you have to read this book.

Blurb: Jasper has finally taken the step to be with his mate, leaving everything and everyone he knows behind. Starting over is hard, especially when you find out your Alpha mate is controlling and dominating—something Jasper isn’t going to stand for.

Zeus tries to cope with the fact that Jasper isn’t as submissive as he wants him to be. Trying to model his relationship after what his parents had isn’t working out so well. Can he give up his control in order to save his relationship?

Toby Kramer is human, and he’s running from a man who wants to see him dead after finding out Toby unknowingly slept with the guy’s partner. He ends up in Pride Pack Valley, trying to start over when an obviously committed couple makes a play for him. Toby wants no part of that.

Can Jasper teach Zeus to let go of his control while teaching Toby to trust that they aren’t out to toy with him? Jasper has his hands full with his two men when trouble finds Toby and tries to take his little mate away from them.

Review: Each book in Lynn Hagen’s Zeus’s Pack collection features a different romantic trio. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. Lynn always gives a story that makes you wish you were right there in the room with them.

There aren’t two sexy men, but three in this series, which seems to make it even hotter. Each of Zeus’s men has gone through hell until Zeus took over. Rape, torture, beatings and so much more. After taking over the pack, his intent is to make peace with the packs near them. However, after meeting up with the Brac Pack he is in for a big surprise. His mate is one of Mavericks warriors.

Jasper has met his mate, but because of misguided loyalty, he wouldn’t leave his pack and his old lover. That is until Cody told him that he was mated to Keata. Then he knew they were being foolish and goes to his mate. Not all of it goes as he expected, for one they wouldn’t let him be the warrior he is. On one of their outings they are in for a bigger surprise, they have a third mate. A very sexy man that they can’t wait to get to know. Another problem is Toby is human.

Toby thinks that Jasper and Zeus are the sexiest men he has ever seen and sure he wouldn’t mind getting naked and having a bit of fun with them, but his fear is that they are just going to use him. It takes all that they have to convince him that they are a forever trio. Also, can Zeus give up his control just a bit to prove that he wants this mating? They each have their problems that they need to fix to make a go at this sexy mating.

I love romance books that are focused on two very sexy men, but Lynn has given a book that has three sexy men. Talk about a hot spot. They each have their problems and their misgivings but they each see it and take the necessary steps to fix it. They show their love in more ways than one and I can’t wait to get my hands on book two. This gave me the three sexy men, two wolves, one alpha, excitement, danger, hot sex, and a great story.

I would recommend reading this story. It will capture your attention from the moment you start reading and keep it all the way to the end. I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to read book two.

Review: This is part of the Brac Village series and they need to be read in order. Each story focuses on a new romancing couple. I have always loved Lynn’s books they always give me what I usually need. They give me a world that I could lose myself into. I have always loved paranormal stories but when you put it into a romance with two gorgeous men then I am pretty much sold. Most of the time they are full of humor but every once in a while you get one that has a little more serious tones to it. I had a blast reading this story and can’t wait to read it more than once.

Ray owned the coffee shop in Brac Village but was totally clueless when it came to the paranormal’s around him. He had the hots for this one very sexy man who comes in for coffee, but he can’t seem to get his tongue to work. That is until he spilt coffee on him, and then things got a lot of hotter.
Lorenzo has found his mate, but there are things holding him back. He is blood bound and can’t get out of it. He is to find hunters and kill them. If he doesn’t it then his own blood will kill him. Now he has a mate and things are just getting dicer. For it would seem Ray is more than just human, too bad no one told Ray about it.

I loved the twist and turns to this story. It caught my attention and kept it all the way to the end. This story was a little better than the others were because Ray didn’t go down so easy with Lorenzo. He didn’t just fall in love and have sex. There were difficulties and even fights about things. It just came off a bit better than the others. Which is saying something because I have loved this series and the ones that are intertwined with it.

Before reading this series you need to start with the Brac Pack series first. It does have several series that branch off but they all have the same goal in the end. You have the Brac Pack, Brac Village, Zeus’s Pack, Christians Coven, and Demon Warriors and so on. It is an amazing set of books but once you start reading them, you won’t be able to put them down.

I loved it and cannot wait to read the next one. If you love sexy men, dangerous situations and some twisted moves then this is the best series for you.

Review: This is part of the Zeus’s Pack series and they need to be read in order. Each story is intertwined with each other, but focuses on a new romantic couple. It gives you an insight into their amazing world and lives. I always love Lynn’s books. She gives you characters that you will fall in love, cheer on in their conquest, want to fight besides them when defending their mates and well the true reason is that she gives you sexy men every time. I grew up reading m/f romance stories and it wasn’t till about two years ago when I started reading gay romance. I have got to tell you that I enjoy them more and Lynn has been one of the reasons for that. She gives you such a great story line that involves love, a bit of pain, some danger, and a lot of excitement.

Dorm is an undercover federal agent and has been stuck with the drug cartel for over two years. He has made his way up in ranks and just wanted the job over with. He had been attracted to Bobby but didn’t want to get set up. Being gay in the mob was a sure way of getting killed. However, when the perfect time to arrest everyone goes bad, he grabs Bobby and runs to the one place he knows might be safe.

Bobby was taken off the streets and put into the cartel as a foot soldier. He never wanted to be one but didn’t know how to get out. The one time he makes a move on Dorm ended with being turned down. However, he senses that, the man his boss was to meet was not who he really was has him scared, then grabbed by the one man he wanted he was frightened and pissed. Then he finds out the truth about Dorm and now he just wants to run. Then he meets Ernest and realizes he has two mates and they are both cops. Talk about a joke in the making.

Ernest knew for over two years that Dorm was his human mate, but what he had not expected was to find out that he had two. Bobby was a cute cat shifter with an amazing and tough attitude. Now he just had to find out how to make his mates see that they were meant to be. Well that and stay alive from a god from hell wanting Bobby dead. What could possibly go wrong?

You don’t get two sexy men but three in this amazing story and there is nothing better than that. You get feisty attitudes, hellhounds, lots of danger, near death experiences and some hot sex with these three gorgeous men. I loved the amount of danger that comes in this story. It made it even better for me.

I loved the way the characters just seem to mix with each other. That is actually a joke, because these three are at each other’s throats fighting their fears, well two of them are any way. Poor Ernest is just hanging on for life. Bobby comes off more real than anyone else. He thinks no one would want him because of the things he was forced to do. What he doesn’t understand is the past is exactly that the past. He is tender but full of anger and fear. He thinks that no one should want him. Bobby is perfect to his mates and they know that with their love and support that he will soon learn to trust them.

I would recommend reading this book to everyone who loves the paranormal world, dies to get their hands on shifters and vampires, love the protective side that they have for their mates, the excitement, action, and dangerous situations. This story, as most of Lynn’s books captured my attention the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything that I could possibly want in a story and I cannot wait to read the next one in this amazing series.

Review: This is part of the Brac Village series and they should be read in order. For me it gives me an insight into their world and into the lives. Each story focuses on a new romantic character. Characters that will have you falling in love.

Now this story had more feisty attitudes than the others, which made it even more intoxicating then the ones before it. I love the feelings that I got from reading this. Myron was a little fox shifter with a big mouth. He has little problem, when his mouth opens his behind gets in big trouble. After getting pretty wasted, he goes home with a total stranger.

That stranger not only turned out to be a wolf alpha but a total prick also. He was going to teach Myron a lesson. So what does Myron do, he runs for all he is worth. He runs right into a cafe in Brac Village and right into his mate. A mate that happens to be a wolf shifter.

Caleb owns the cafe and is pretty fed up when he runs across a little fox. The dang fox ran through the door and heads for cover. Now Caleb figures it is not a normal fox but a shifter. What he wasn’t expecting was a shifter with attitude. And this particular shifter is his mate. Now all they have to do is to learn how to give in and let go. However first they have to deal with the dangers coming for Myron and the vampire hunter who is new in town.

I love the fact that Lynn always has the perfect amount of excitement, heat, adventure, danger, lust, and fun. She always manages to give me a perfect story, one that has me wanting for more. I had a blast with this story. It captured my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything that I could want in a story and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next story.

Brac Village is a branch off of Brac Pack, so you might want to start with those first. Each story is a riot and you can’t help but fall in love with these series. They have the perfect amount of serious attitude and humor. In fact, I would say it usually gives you a bit more in the humor department.

Review: Each book in Bear County collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. The book that we have waited for has finally arrived.

I had wanted to hear T-Rex’s story since I first heard about him in the previous books. I am amazed by the way these two men just seem to be perfect for each other, in my opinion. I loved the way they mix, not to mention the hot sex. Each one of Lynn’s stories is a blast to read, because you can tell that she puts her entire heart into each story. Although most stories that come out fast is usually missing something, her stories always give me exactly what I need and want.

Isaac brought tears to my eyes. The way he was raised and his fears just made me want to go on the warpath. The first time he saw T-Rex he was struck, but his family would never allow him to have a man for a boyfriend. His family was so strict I was surprised that they even let this man out of the house. It is not that they did not love him but they were very homophobic. However, in reality his family is one screwed up bunch. You can tell that the love is quite twisted in fact. I for one would have loved to put a bullet in his father’s head.

T-Rex was raised with a loving family and at one time had been a soldier. When he moved in with the guys at the ranch, he was surrounded by bear shifters. So when he met Isaac it hadn’t taken long before he knew he had found his mate. In this story there is so much tragedy that you can’t help but be amazed at how strong these men are. I felt so bad for Isaac that my heart just hurt and brought me to tears.

It comes off as so very real that it is like you are there with them through it all. When one door closes, one door opens is what was said in this book and it is so very true. I don’t really know how to tell you just how much this book meant to me. It was probably one of the best stories I have found in all of the series for me. Though I was in tears throughout the book, I also found myself laughing so hard at parts of it.

This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It was a fascinating book and I cannot wait to read the next book. It gave me everything I could want in it. Not only did it give me two very sexy men, it also gave me excitement, surprises, bear shifters, powerful and supportive friends, protective mates, passionate sex, and quirky attitudes. It gave me all of that and so much more. I would recommend reading this if you love all of those and so much more.

Did I mention the hot sex that you get from them?

It has a touch of humor mixed in with serious tones that are always the best for me. I can’t stand a story that doesn’t make me laugh. All of the books that Lynn has written give me the perfect combination of seriousness, humor, protective feelings, anger, pain, and quirkiness.

Review: This is book seven in this series and they should be read in order. The characters for the stories present and future are introduced in the previous books. It gives you an insight into their amazing world. A world that will draw you in and keep you there. It captured my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it there all the way to the end.

I especially love the way the bears take care of their mates. They show them attention, passion, love and protection. When one is in danger the rest stand with him, protecting them with their lives.

Steven was raised by his parents, but was treated as if no more than a rat in a cage. He had a power to see what one was thinking and feel what they were feeling. It had been getting stronger the older that he got. His parents did not love him, only thinking of him as an experiment, a subject. He ran and ended up in Bear Country. Working for a bunch of bears, not that he knew it. One in particular has his eye on him.

Colton knew in his heart that Steven was his mate. The only problem was the fact that at first he thought the man was straight, then come to the conclusion that he was in trouble. Trouble that could cost him his mate.

I have always loved paranormal stories especially when you have two very sexy men. Then you add in the fact that the mate gets pregnant and I am sold. This story will give you that, plus lots of excitement, adventure, suspense and danger. I loved the guys in this series. They are pretty amazing. It gives you everything you could want in a story.

Blurb: Van Pierre is on the hunt for his missing date. He doesn’t need some nosy wolf shifter getting in his way, but that’s just where Fang seems to be. When Van sets out to find Sy Wren, his every move is hampered by the pesky werewolf. It doesn’t help that Fang is the sexiest man Van has ever met, one that sets his blood to boiling every time they lock eyes.

Fangor Strigori is a man on a mission, a secret mission. When a handsome vampire gets in his way, Fang decides to wrinkle the by-the-book man’s world. But what started out as a bit of fun quickly turns into a burning inferno when Van rocks Fang’s world every time they touch. Fighting his attraction to the handsome vampire might be more dangerous than completing his mission.

Vampire and werewolves don’t mix. Everyone knows that. But the desire that burns between them might be stronger than old prejudices and the danger they face when the Ministry starts to hunt them down. If the Ministry doesn’t get them, the heat of the night just might.

Review: This is book five in this amazing series and they need to be read in order. Each character shows up in the earlier books and you learn more about their world. You would think when you start reading it that it would have a serious tone about it and it does but it has more humor in it. The characters that these two amazing authors have come up with will draw you in and have you falling in love. They fight hard but seem to love even harder.

I wasn’t too sure they wouldn’t kill each other before getting to the good stuff. In this world, vampires and werewolves don’t mix really well. They are always trying to destroy the other. In this, you have a vampire who is falling for a werewolf. Van had been on a very strange date with Sy, that is until Sy gets himself kidnapped. Van is determined to find the man. However, he is intercepted by Fang, first thinking he had something to do with it, he finds out that this man is many things but not what one would think.

Fang is like a secret agent. He works for the same people as Van but there is a hint that he just might work for more than just him. Especially when they are trying to get their hands on him. He is just supposed to do this mission, but Van keeps getting in his way. Then Fang realizes that he likes the fact that Van keeps getting into his way. The man turned him on faster than any one had ever been able to. Now all he has to do is to keep them both alive.

I loved this book, but then again when you have Stormy and Lynn giving you a story you can bet that your attention will be caught for good. It captured my attention from the moment I opened the book and kept it all the way to the end. I love that this book gives me two very sexy men, a vampire, a werewolf, quirky friends, dangerous allies, vicious enemies, excitement, adventure and a bit of danger.

I would recommend reading this book because you will not be disappointed in it. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. It gave me everything I could have wanted in it and so much more.

Review: This is book six in this series and they should be read in order. It not only gives you an idea who everyone is but it gives you an insight into their world. Lynn is one of my top favorite authors of all time. She gives you characters that will have you falling in love with and a world that will captivate you. A world that I would love to lose myself into.

Taylor had once thought he was in love but he had found himself in a situation that could have cost him his life. His ex-boyfriend Todd had been him nearly to death. Now afraid to try again, he was shocked to find that he is attracted to Sam.

Sam is a bear shifter and thinks that he has found his mate. The only way he can be sure is if Taylor becomes pregnant. However, his little mate was afraid of trusting him. His ex was a bear shifter and when he found out Sam was all hell breaks loose. Sam will do everything in his power to protect the man he has fallen in love with. Meeting Taylor has Sam wanting a lot of things in life and it would seem that Taylor wants the same. Taylor has a pack of bears to protect him this time as well as his best friend.

I love the fact that in these books the males mates can actually become pregnant. It gives me something to really laugh about. Although in this one, there is just a hint and a twist of something different. I love when a story just gives me everything I want. It gave me two sexy men, a dangerous situation, a little quirky mate with a horrible past, a fierce protector, bear shifters, and a touch of excitement.

I cannot wait for the next book to come out. I will be sitting on pins and needles till it does. It will capture your attention from the moment you start reading it and keep it all the way to the end.

Review: This is book two in this series and they should be read in order. Each story has some of the characters in prior books and tells you about their story. The way they live their lives, the reason they do some of the things they do and what makes them they way they are. It is an amazing world that you will find yourself lost in. A world that will draw you in and have you falling in love. The characters are full heat and desire. I love the way they are told. It has such a serious tone but there is the hint of humor in it. I love this series, which is normal for me when it comes to the author. Lynn always gives me great stories to read. The characters have so much depth and detail that you will be captivated with them, and then you see the way they are with family and friends that you will want to hang with them. Then you see them with their mates and you will fall in love with them.

The Breed Assassins were kidnapped when they were just babies and raised in a military fashion. They were not touched nor loved, yet they grew up as best friends. It is twenty some odd years before they find out the truth of who they were and what they were. They were in fact brothers, cousins, and one who was raised in the family. All the time they were in the hole that they were raised in Thoran only wanted a mother’s love. So when they escape and find out that they are in fact royalty they set out to fix it all. Then Thoran finds out he has a little sister that had been kidnapped ten years ago. He is all set out to find her.

He ends in a place that he had remembered from five years ago. He had seen a man that he wanted with all of his heart. Only to find out that he had been sold to a brothel. Set out to save him, at first he treats him badly. Then he realizes that not all is as it seems. He must save Eaton.

Eaton didn’t understand why his family sold him. He had never once given the man any trouble, even willing to work hard to help pay the taxes that they owe. Then he is sold to the brothel. Once the owner finds out that, he is a virgin his intent is to sell him to the highest bidder. That didn’t turn out the way it was supposed to go, because the Breed Assassins save him. Then after a bit, they are mated.

This story is amazing and I absolutely loved it. I love the fact that the men can get pregnant in this story. It cracks me up to read it every time. This story gives you sexy men that are shape shifters, hot sex, passionate glances, feisty attitudes, quirky little mates, excitement, adventure, and dangerous situations. It gives you a twist that you will love. It captured my attention from the moment I opened the book and kept it all the way to the end. I would recommend reading this book because once you do you will find yourself in a world that will have you falling in love.

Cass A. Nova has a way with words. Unfortunately, his pickup lines usually get his face slapped. But then he meets a gorgeous fae that finds him not only intriguing but also charming. One night spent in Wylde Fleur’s arms and Cass can’t imagine being anywhere else. There’s only one problem…his fae has disappeared.

Wylde Fleur has a lot of experience bucking the system. He has been banished from Glitter Glow Park because he refuses to follow in his father’s footsteps. He was even shunned by the fae because he became a lawyer. Now, he’s chosen to take up with a vampire.
When Wylde discovers documents in the Ministry archives that hint at a secret long hidden from society, will he have to pay the ultimate price, or will his smooth talking vampire be able to save him in time?

Review: This is book three in this series and they need to be read in order. It will make the characters known to you and will give you an insight into their world. It is an amazing series. I love the way Stormy and Lynn’s put their heads together and write an awesome book. This series has so much humor in it that I couldn’t stop laughing.

Cass is a vampire who has so many bad lines that you can’t help but feel sorry for him. However many times he was told to bug off or slapped, he did have one night where a little man loved those lines, in fact begged for them. The only problem was he hadn’t gotten his name so he could not find him. Now that had to suck.

Wylde is fae who not only had he been banished from his home for wanting to be a lawyer instead of going into the family business, but his father had torn his wings off of him as punishment. He had been living and hanging with his best friend. Till one night, he met Cass and had to have him. He had loved everything the man had done to him and more but had not expected the bite. Also, when he broke into a room at the Ministry archives he finds out why fae and vampires don’t mix. If their blood called to each other and they mated, Wylde can get pregnant.

Now I sit here laughing because it is such a blast when you find out a man can get pregnant and then he will know what it is like to have a child. Which is exactly what happened to Wylde. The problem is that his father Levi finds out. Cass will do everything in his power to get the man he loves back.

This book will give you everything you need when you read it. It has the right amount of humor, seriousness, danger, and excitement in it. I loved this book as much as the series. It just gets better with each story. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. It caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end.

Igorian refuses to give in to his desires where Pan is concerned. Although the man is a walking wet dream, Igorian has been taught that vampires don’t mate outside their race. It is a lesson drilled into him from rebirth.

When wanted posters go up and the two must run for their lives, Igorian learns that fighting against the attraction he feels for Pan is futile. Can the two clear their names and the misconceptions taught to Igorian, or will the Ministry of Paranormal Affairs doom them both to a death sentence before Igorian finds out what it means to purr for a panther shifter?

Review: This is book two in this series and they need to be read in order. Not only will it give you an insight into each character but also a back ground of their amazing world. I love the way each character intermingle with each other. This particular story was a blast to read not to mention one of the funnier ones. Igorian is Vlad’s personal assistant and a vampire. He is the one that was scared of Vlad’s mate Bela who happens to be human.

Iggy had been seeing and sleeping with a certain panther named Pan. He had been raised that you do not for any reason mix races so he was not only surprised by his body’s reaction but his feelings that seem to be growing for Pan. Just looking at him gets him turned on faster than anyone had ever been able to. He will also do anything to help him. Even if it meant doing something, he had never done before ever. He is the true colorful, vibrant, very vocal gay man. Although Bela tells him all the time, he really needs to get better colors.

Pan had stolen a file for Vlad but had kept a copy of it for his own reasons. What he had not expected Ministry of Paranormal Affairs to intervene. They had arrested him in front of his mate. Although his mate was his alibi, he had not said a word to help him. Pan knew Iggy was scared but he didn’t really know what. He also knew that he was in deep trouble.

When Iggy tried to find out where he was taken to make things right, he found out that Pan’s arrest was not a real arrest. Pan was in danger and now Iggy had to go in and save his butt. Breaking into the Ministry of Paranormal Affairs was probably not his best idea but he had to save the man he had fallen in love with. Now all he had to do is figure out how to do it, and not let Vlad know what he was up to. Although his idea of breaking someone out of a cell, dressing up as a woman, and begging the higher-ups for help was not what he had expected.

You will love this book if you like vampires, werewolves, were panthers, the paranormal worlds, crazy mates, great attitudes and danger. This is an amazing book and a wonderful series. I can guarantee that you will get an amazing reaction to this book. I can’t wait to get my hand on the next book.

Blurb: Count Vladimir Dracul never suspected that the human he found hiding in his stables will change his life and the way he sees the world. But once he finds Béla, Vlad can’t give him up. Fighting prejudices against humans, a vampire Count wanting his blood donor back, and a threat from an old enemy seem like small battles compared to the one he has to fight to win Béla’s heart.

Béla was terrified of the vampire that found him and decided to keep him. His experience with vampires has never been good so he has no reason to trust Vlad, even if he wanted to. But when his former owner comes looking for him, Béla has to find the courage to save the one man who has come to mean more to him than his freedom.
With the help of a few crazy friends, a werewolf mob boss, and two insane brothers, Vlad and Béla just might have a chance at happiness…if the Ministry of Paranormal Affairs doesn’t get to them first.

Review: I have found a new favorite series. This is book one and they should all be read in order. When you put Stormy and Lynn together to write a book you have an amazing read. I love the worlds that they have designed. The characters are so beautiful in looks, attitude, and heart. You can’t help but fall in love with them. This story caught my attention from the very start and kept it all the way to the end.

Bela was what one calls a blood slave to a very nasty vampire. He had been physically hurt and didn’t even have a name. He was always known as boy. He finally manages to escape only to end up in another vampire coven. However, it took just a short time before he realized that Vlad had no intention to hurt him. He didn’t even want to feed or have sex with him unless Bela offered it because he wanted to.

Vlad notices a heart beat in the stables and goes in search of who had it. What he found didn’t even look like a human let alone smell like one. However once he got him in the bath and cut the tangles from his hair he realizes that it was not only a man but also a beautiful one. After finally getting him to talk, he realizes he doesn’t even have a name. So he names him Bela and starts to show him trust. What he couldn’t figure out is why Bela and his assistant went at it like cats and dogs. They were constantly fighting and it was quite a sight. His assistant was a vampire and Bela is a human, yet Iggy was scared of him. Now that will give you a great laugh.

Bela’s old owner hadn’t marked him so he has Bela branded so no one could get him. However, Upir wanted Bela back, but the reason shocks Vlad. However, he will do everything in his power not only to protect his mate but also to keep him. There are still a lot of dangers coming but at least they will be together.

I love the humor in this story. It is amazing. I have always loved the paranormal worlds and when you throw in hot men, it gets even better. I love the way Vlad is so tender and caring with Bela. I also love the names that they were given it was pretty awesome choices. It also kept me laughing throughout the whole story.

If you love the paranormal world, vampires, werewolves, little human’s, love, excitement and danger then this is the book for you.

Review: This is book one in this amazing new series. Trust me you will love it and fall in love with each character. I have always loved Lynn’s stories and she has given me a new one for my library. Dresden had been in a relationship with an attorney that turned really bad. One that cost him almost everything he had, except for his sweet two-year-old son. He had been forced to move back with his uncle Stork.A man that treated him horribly. He was a bit scared of him also. Especially after meeting Harland.

Harland was a bear shifter and he thinks he has met his mate. The only true way to know would be when he had sex with Dresden, Dresden would become pregnant. Now can you imagine the expression Dresden had when he found out that little tidbit? I have always loved paranormals, and am excited when men can become pregnant. Seems like a payback for women.

Harland will do everything in his power to keep Dresden safe. However when Stork is murdered Harland is the number one suspect. Especially when Dresden’s ex sabotage all of the files. I loved this book and cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this series. This story has everything you would want in a story. Hot and sexy men, men getting pregnant, bear shifters, the paranormal world, and lots of laughter, danger, and excitement.

You will laugh pretty much through most of the book. It has such humor in it. I love how they all react to the pregnancy and when it is time to deliver. Although I have to admit, I wonder how he has the baby. I am glad to have found this new amazing series. I loved it.

Blurb:Things are heating up in Paradise City. Lonnie Winston’s looks can get him any man he wants, but his sights are set on one bear of a man named Santos Alverez. The guy is pushy, difficult, and makes Lonnie want to pulverize the brute. So why is Santos the only person who heats Lonnie’s blood with a craving that is driving him insane?

 

Santos thinks Lonnie is a loudmouth, pain in the ass. He is the only man who can push Santos’s buttons, sending him into a snarly fit. Lonnie is the total opposite of what Santos looks for in a man, and he knows that it would never work between the two of them. They are more liable to kill each other than have a romantic relationship.

 

But when someone close to Santos is killed, Lonnie proves just how much he cares when he goes after the Darlings in order to avenge Santos’s pain and loss. Keeping the man at bay is becoming harder to do when Santos realizes he is falling hard for the tattoo artist who is quickly becoming his entire world.

Review: This is book two in the Dark Rider series and they should be read in order so you don’t miss anything.

 

If you read book one you would have met Lonnie and Santos. You would have also laughed your ass off at them. They are quite a bit quirky and snarly. They are always arguing with each other, not killing each other yet that is. However, you know what they say about arguing so much, it is like foreplay between wolves. Santos is a member of the Dark Riders motorcycle group. He is as fierce with love as he is with anger and revenge. He met Lonnie when his leader went after Lonnie’s best friend and mated with him. He also thinks Lonnie is a loudmouth, pain in the ass and is the only man alive that can push his buttons and make him want to kill him. He is also the opposite of what Santo’s wants as a lover.

 

Lonnie is someone you could fall in love with so fast and so hard. He is just as cute and adorable but a pain in the ass smart mouth. I love that about him, he can give as good as he takes. He gets injured several times and Santos is right there with him. Even with all the snark flying around you can tell that once they hit the sheets it will be setting them on fire. There is so much heat going around them. Even their friends can notice and not just from the scent of lust in the air.

 

The dangers of the darlings coming after them and the fact that a certain detective is looking to bust the whole group is a major hot spot for me, but there is a lot more danger than just that in this story. It was amazing and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves sexy men, hot sex, shapeshifters, vampires, and lots of danger. Trust me this is one series you will want to read.

Garrett knows the man has a very unsavory reputation, yet he can’t stop fantasizing about him. But Garrett discovers that Falcon is not what he seems. The man has a secret, and Garrett soon finds out what it means to belong to the president of the Dark Riders.

Falcon has no interest in humans until the owner of Andromeda—a tattoo shop on the Lower East Side—is targeted by an enemy, and he finds himself protecting a man who changes the rules of the game.

But Falcon’s world is a scary place. There are things that feed on humans and make Garrett feel as if he has lost his sanity—things that shouldn’t even exist. They are known as Darlings, and they are coming after Garrett. Falcon has placed his mark on him, and Garrett is now the creatures’ target.

Review: This is a start to a brand new series by Lynn Hagen. It is not connected with the other series she has written. And I must say that it is a pretty awesome read.

 

Vampires are called Darlings and are not like any vampire you have read about. Falcon belongs to the Dark Riders, a biker gang who are shapeshifting wolves. He is taken away at first sight over a human named Garrett. Garret and Lonnie own a tattoo shop. The Dark Riders come off, as one would think a biker group would. They are extremely lethal and not hard to look at. In fact, Garrett calls them eye candy because they are so sexy to look at.

 

Garrett notices Falcon sitting outside at a bar one night. He loves to just stare at the man, even though his best friend Lonnie tells him that it just might get him killed. He can’t seem to get enough of the man though. The fantasies are very vivid and he is scared of what could happen. Even though the Darlings are coming after him, he just can’t figure out what to do with Falcon.

When Falcon marked him, it must have messed with his DNA slowly converting him into a wolf. Which in one way it meant that Falcon was going to keep him, but it had Falcon questioning the change because normally it is done during sex not a nick with a claw. It brought a lot of unanswered questions to them but with no way to know. The sex between them is amazing and hot so much, so that it would set the sheets on fire. I love the fact that there is a hint of kink between them. It makes it seem so much better.

 

This story has it all sexy men, shapeshifters, vampires, paranormal worlds, hot sex, and lots of danger coming at you from all directions. I cannot wait to start reading book two, because this is going to be another wonderful series.

Review: Oh, I love Lynn Hagen. She always gives a good story to laugh about. This one had me rolling on the floor laughing. I love it when the characters are a bit quirky in this story however

 

Gilbert takes the prize. He is so goofy you can’t help but fall in love with him. He has the best attitude and nothing seems to phase him. Not the bear, nor the fact that his mate turned into a panther to fight the bear, nor the danger that comes for them at every turn. He thinks that he just conjured Domingo up to save him from being sold at auction. So much to the fact that he calls him Bob.

 

Domingo, aka Bob thinks that Gilbert is a bit on the nutty side. He was sent by his alpha to rescue a Chekota Breeder, but what he finds is a sexy if not crazy man who calls him Bob. He is the head Sentinel of the River Walker clan, which means he got it because of his brute strength and cool demeanor. Yet here he was losing what cool he had, because of a hot and quite possibly off of his rocker man.

 

This story is one of the best paranormals I have come across. A quirky man who can get pregnant, a panther shifter with attitude, tattoos, bears, and all around laughter. I am so glad to have had a chance to read this series and if you want to find a book that, where you laugh your ass off this would be the story to read. I have always loved books where the world they are living seems so much better than the one I am in.

I want to lose myself into their world and have the chance to see what it is like to be truly loved as these characters do.

Blurb: Running from his past, Ares Kattamon left his psychology practice behind to become an assistant producer at a small independent film company. When he arrives in Brac Village to shoot a movie, he discovers a man who makes Ares hunger in ways he never knew existed.

Daniel Constantinople was the last of his brothers to mate. Daniel didn’t think it was in the cards for him to find love—not when his father continued to appear, still abusing Daniel, threatening to force Daniel home. When Daniel realizes that a small independent film company is coming to town, he sees his opportunity to escape his father’s demands. If he secures a part in the movie, then Magnum has no reason to come after him.

Or so he thought.

Magnum is determined to destroy Daniel’s life and turn everyone against him. Daniel must find a way to escape Magnum’s clutches, save Ares from the Ultionem, and help Ares to discover why the cast is slowly disappearing before it’s too late.

Review: This is book thirty-three in this series and to get the full knowledge of characters and their situations you should start with book one. It has a pretty cool story line with humor and seriousness throughout. There is a lot of kick to this story but you can see the love between everyone. The way everyone protects the others that are not strong is very sweet.

Daniel is a vampire who had run from his father Magnum. He likes staying in Brac Village but he is bored out of his mind. Until he realizes there is a small independent film company and he wants to try out for a part. Ares is the assistant producer and he takes an interest in Daniel. More than normal interest, he just can’t figure out what. Daniel is a sweet, tender-hearted and very caring young vampire whose self-esteem is very low thanks to his father’s belittling and meanness. Ares is a tough and rough character who can fight his way out of anything. However when it comes to Daniel he is loving, charming and very tender to him. He is also very protective and will protect him no matter what. There is a lot of twist and turns to this book with danger and excitement among those twist. Ares and Daniel make one hell of a sexy couple and the sex is out of this world.

Lynn always makes the stories just jump out, grabs my attention from the start, and keeps it to the end. I enjoy reading them and will continue to read them. I can’t wait for the next book to come out, but can’t wait to start reading them over again. She has the gift of imagination and storytelling that I love. The right amount of anger, pain, love, and sex mixed with danger, excitement is amazing to me. I would recommend reading this series.
