Trouble Comes In Threes

M.A. Church

A snowstorm in the South—on New Year’s Eve—is a perfect recipe for a catastrophe. After two soul-crushing bad breaks, Kirk’s waiting for disaster number three to strike when, naturally, two stray cats arrive on his doorstep during the storm and decide to make themselves at home. Tenderhearted Kirk lets them stay even though there’s something decidedly odd about his overly friendly felines.

Out of the punishing weather and full of tuna, Dolf and Tal are happy to be snug in Kirk’s house. But then their human goes outside for firewood and suffers a nasty fall that leaves him unconscious. Now the two cats have no choice but to reveal themselves.

Kirk wakes up to find the two kitties are actually Dolf and Tal. They’re cat shifters—and his destined mates. Being part of a feline threesome is enough for Kirk to grapple with, but soon he learns they come from a clowder that doesn’t believe humans and shifters should mix. Kirk knew those two cats would be trouble. Little does he know the real trouble lies ahead.

Next thing, he runs out the door like the hounds of hell are after him. Learning that Heller is a werecat doesn’t freak out Lawson. He happens to be one of those rare humans who knows paranormals exists. He even lives with one. Watch the fur fly as Heller and Lawson battle hurt feelings, misguided beliefs, and a power shift in Heller’s clowder.

It Takes Two to Tango

by

M.A. Church

Can two very different men find the love they need to survive?

Remi Ginn’s an easygoing werecat with a love of snarky T-shirts who would be perfectly happy with a human mate. Is that what the goddess Bast gives him? Of course not. Instead she gifts him with Marshell, a Vetala: a snakelike nonshifter who drinks blood to survive. A man who’s just as toppy as Remi—and even more powerful than the West Falls Clowder’s Alpha and heir apparent.

While Remi decides whether he can handle the fates’ choice, hunters attack Marshell. In an explosion of passion, Remi and Marshell mate and Remi declares Marshell his. Now they have to figure out how to make their relationship work as they dance around each other.

The clowder is in turmoil, and Remi’s acceptance of Marshell rocks the very foundation of the insular group. The consequences will be far-reaching. And if that isn’t problem enough, the situation with the hunters is far from resolved… as the appearance of an Alpha werewolf proves.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is the first book that I have read that involved mermen and I was not really sure what to expect. However once again M.A. Church as given a book that is not only unique, but absolutely fascinating. I loved the world she created and the characters. At first I must admit I wasn’t really sure, but once I started reading, let’s just say I finished it in one sitting.

Fifteen years ago Kannon had been enjoying the ocean with his father. That is until he came across something he wasn’t sure even existed. After one bite, his fear came on strong. He never wanted to be near the ocean again. That is until his best friend wanted him in his wedding.

Nisha had been guarding his territory when he came across his mate. He had acted too fast, bit the man and scared him away. Now fifteen years has passed and his sister was getting married. She was marrying his mate’s best friend. Now he has a has to fix what he broke.

This had caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I am still not sure if I am a fan of mermen stories but this one rocked it.

I enjoyed it and can’t wait to see what this author has coming out next.

Reviewer: Thommie

Blurb: To celebrate his decision to take the next step with his boyfriend Ian, Toshi Baylor plans a romantic evening at their favorite steak house. Toshi starts the special weekend with a bang by surprising Ian at home with lunch. There’s a bang all right, but it’s between Ian and another guy.

Jase Taylor’s auto repair shop and the BDSM club, Wrapped Up, keep him busy while he waits for Mr. Right, instead of Mr. Right Now. He’s a Dom, but playing with the club’s submissives isn’t providing the usual stress release. After a day from hell, he deserves a good meal at his favorite steak house.

Toshi and Jase find a mix-up with their reservations: a table for Baylor, not Taylor. When Toshi invites Jase to dine with him, they discover a mutual affection for leather and a shared belief that trust must be earned.

Before they can explore their common interests, Toshi suffers a series of attacks by vandals. Jase’s protective instincts kick in, but both wonder if it can lead to anything permanent.

Review: This is a story that combines romance and kinks nicely. Easily to read and follow the storyline we get to meet two characters that are quite charming. I’m a fan of kinky reads and, while sometimes they are quite heavy, this one managed to keep with a light-hearted feeling throughout the plot, even as things got a bit complicated and danger lurked down the corner.

Two men utterly different from each other share many things. Jase is a seasoned Dom, but he lacks the unnerving intensity some of them expel. He’s been cheated and dumped resulting to a lack of trust and a more cautious behavior, albeit he never stops searching for that one guy with whom he’ll share his life and interests. For Jase is not only looking for love, he’s looking for a submissive as well.

Toshi on the other hand is a man who’s also been cheated. His story with his ex is a bit louder as he actually catches him during the act. Now Toshi has no relationship with the BDSM scene but he’s been wanting more from his lover for quite a while now. He understands when he breaks up with Ian, that Ian could never be the one for him unless he settled. Toshi needs a more dominant man in his life that would be such in bed but allow him his own mind and choices in their everyday life. Toshi needs a man who will also share his addiction with leather.

So while Jase was a charming enough character, I think I mostly adored Toshi. As a sub, he was not the overbearing one, and as a newbie, he didn’t jump and leaped into a completely different person from one day the next. Toshi’s introduction to the scene was very well done for my preferences. I liked how overwhelmed he got, I liked his reactions, and I liked the fact that he could actually kick us. No doormat our Toshi and for that I loved him.

The romantic side of this book started nicely, with a lovely predestined looking coincidence that had a nice flirtation going on. I think that was the favorite part of this entire book for me, the flirt going on between these two guys and their reactions to each other. When the intimate scenes came in view, their first times fumbling around were so erotic and so hot, it nearly made me scream along. The scenes though as the story moved on were a mix, some of them taking you over; some of them, while sensual and erotic, lacked that edge that would make you fly. What started nicely and with an edge, somewhere along the way that edge got a bit lost. I expected more intensity but the more the story moved forward, the more everything seemed to rush toward the end.

The POV’s were a bit meshed but not so much to take you out of the grip the story has upon you. We have Toshi’s POV and Jase’s, but somewhere in between there was a mix up in narration that jumped from one to the other with no apparent cause or reason. As I said though I managed to stay invested in the story.

The action itself was interesting. While apparent who the cause of all disturbance was, it still made sense and was really wondering what was the deal with that “bad” guy there. I must point though that even here the story rushed in the end leaving me a bit unsatisfied with the whole deal. The story built and built and when time came to deliver a nice blow, everything seemed to magically dissolve itself.

The weirdest feeling, though, was that of this title being part of a series. It felt as if there was a previous installment and one to come, especially with the hints on the epilogue. Too many things were left unsaid.
All in all though it was an interesting book and generally enjoyable. For fans of the genre, it is a light book I don’t hesitate to recommend.

Reviewer: Thommie

Blurb: One moment in time can change your life, especially a life that revolves around your face. A near-fatal car accident leaves a world famous model’s face scarred and his career in a tailspin. The life Ashley knew is over and he wants to do nothing but fade away into nothingness. Only his lover, Will, can pull him out of his dark depression and make Ashley see even scars can be beautiful.

Product Link: http://www.stormmoonpress.com/books/Faded-Love.aspx

Review: So this story is a scar-themed one and the core of it is deeply sentimental and romantic.

Two models, one overachieved the other still waiting for his big break. Ashley is a gorgeous man who had it really easy in his career, as his looks are the kind that simply draws people to him effortlessly. Will while beautiful as well is still waiting for his big break. Meanwhile he wants a relationship with Ashley, a commitment, and Ashley has been avoiding that for a long while. As Will gives him an ultimatum, telling Ashly in short terms that either he commits to them and stays faithful or they’re over, Ashley once again begs out of making a decision as he runs for another job, literally running from having to give an answer.

Honestly, I didn’t like Ashley at the beginning. I thought he was a major jerk and the shallowest guy ever, while Will was too good for him. Before Ashley has a chance on giving his answer back to Will, an accident has him in the hospital and his life changed permanently as half his face get scarred, throwing his entire career to the dumpster. Clients leave him, friends were practically non-existent, and the only one left is Will, whom Ashly makes a strong effort to push away too.

You know what comes next here, the victim needs to cope and accept that his life will never be the same again and the steady rock partner at his side helps him around. I still thought Ashley didn’t deserve Will, really. If he had given an answer before the accident, committing to Will I’d be okay with this, but we’ll never know what the pre-accident Ashley would have done so, what follows is a bit biased in my head.

A second issue I had was with the trauma and the poor space in this short story that didn’t allow for proper development. While the timeframe is quite decent, the story is so short for this kind of approach that we don’t get to feel the full effect of the highs and lows a victim goes through, his emotional rollercoaster barely touched me and eventually I didn’t get to feel much for this character.

I did however enjoy the heck of the intimacy this couple had. The chemistry worked really well and the intensity the sex scenes had managed to not only grab my attention, but also actually make me hot and bothered. Very well written even if the general idea was a bit too sappy for my taste.

So while I’m a bit non-affected from the sweet romantic theme here, I do recommend this book for the fans of romance and love-prevails out there holding a strong belief you’ll enjoy it immensely.

Blurb: Jaded billionaire Jeff Mayfield loves only what his money and power can buy, but the Fates have plans for him. First, a player in Jeff’s casino hits a huge jackpot and things turn hectic. Then, in the middle of the chaos, Jeff lays eyes on the unbelievably sexy Cam Smith—Cupid in his human form.

Seized by lust, Jeff makes a move, only to find himself on the receiving end of a blistering wave of sexual intent. Cam disassembles Jeff’s self-image and puts it back together upside down. But Jeff isn’t the only one struggling with control. Cam’s alter ego is Jealousy, and if he loses his composure, the consequences will be deadly.

Purchase Link: http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=3530

Review: This story is part of a series and is best read in order. Cam (Cupid) has Jeff in his sights, Jeff laid a challenge down at Cam’s feet and now he is taking up the gauntlet, Jeff will fall in love and Cam knows just the man to fill the position. Jeff had a bad experience with love in the past and will avoid it now, but when he meets Cam, he finds him irresistible and finds himself rethinking everything he knew about love.

This is a cute story with a large dose of the Gods and rethinking one’s self-image. Cam has a very active role in this story as he becomes one of the MC’s, Jeff is the man he wants as a mate, but first he has to coax Jeff into wanting more than just one night, it also doesn’t help that Zeus doesn’t approve of human mates. Jeff was burnt badly in the past and now has a love ‘em and leave ‘em attitude, meeting Cam is a shock, especially when Cam turns him down and it isn’t long before Jeff is hooked, but he still has to be careful of his heart. Things start to go wrong when Zeus interferes, Jeff’s ex-boyfriend turns up and Jealousy rears its ugly head.

Jeff and Cam make a great couple, Cam has to break down Jeff’s walls and he has a great plan to do it, Cam has a patience to make Jeff fall in love with him, but they have obstacles to overcome. Jeff has always been in charge and his sex life is no different, but he struggles within himself, when all he wants is Cam to take him. This storyline is quite good, Jeff finally finding true love, but his true love turns out to be Cupid who has a dark side. Cam defies Zeus to take a human mate, and Cam struggles to control his green-eyed monster.

Although I enjoyed this story it fell a little flat, both characters changed for the other person, Cam his age and Jeff his sexual preferences, if they were really meant to be together, like Cam said, then neither one should have changed. They are really hot together and there are plenty of steamy scenes between them. It was wonderful to see Garrett and Randy (Priceless) and I also really enjoyed the interplay between Mo (God of Dreams) and Zygi (Jeff’s best friend) and can’t wait for their book; there were a few loose ends that will hopefully be tied up then.

I will recommend this to those who love paranormal, Gods, finding love, putting the past behind you, loving your partner warts and all and a very happy ending.

Blurb: When Chip Riley’s beloved granny passes away, she leaves him all her money, her land, and a house that needs some tender love and care. She never mentioned the legacy comes with a Native American shifter who intends to claim Chip as his mate.

Jason Sky has lived since buffalo roamed the land. When his totem spirit, a black cougar, saves a little girl, he doesn’t realize that generations later, her grandson will become his mate, leaving him to take on a modern man with modern ideas. But that’s the least of his problems.

Garon, another shifter with a long-held hatred for Jason, plots to kidnap Chip and lure Jason to his death. Soon Chip finds himself in an untenable position between a rock and a hard place. A leap of faith may be the only way to save himself and the man he’s learned to love.

Review: Chip has always been close to his granny. When she passes away, he is distraught and is surprised when she leaves him everything. He is even more surprised to discover the legacy that comes with the property and a Native American shifter who intends to make Chip his mate. Jason has watched over Chip’s family for a couple of generations and used to play, in his cougar form, with Chip when he was a child. Now it is time for Chip to come home and be claimed. But, Chip has no idea about shifters and doesn’t take the news too well. Add in a jealous, insane shifter bent on revenge and Jason has his hands full trying to keep his mate and keeping him safe.

This is a great shifter story that takes in the Native American spirit Totems and sentinel spirit animals. Chip is a great character who is a very modern man. He might like working with his hands and the outdoors, but he also loves romantic gestures. Chip has some brilliant reactions to the events going on around him and he has no intention of just lying down and rolling over when Jason tells him about shifters…. No, he plans to run as fast and far as he can. Jason has been around for a very long time and has some matter-of-fact attitudes when it comes to mates. He soon learns that his mate is no pushover and isn’t going to accept his word as law.

I really enjoyed this story and thoroughly enjoyed the background for the shifters. I liked how the shifters were portrayed as two separate spirits sharing one body and that the animal side was just as sentient as the human side. I also loved that the animal spirit could communicate with the human side and am sarcastic when needed. The relationship between Chip and Jason was really good at the beginning, with Jason wooing Chip. It wasn’t insta-mating or having to mate straight away because of a bond. If circumstances had allowed they would have taken more time. Jason could be a bit overbearing at times in his worry and attitude, but Chip could be near hysterical and stubborn, so they make an interesting read.

The storyline was quite good with an unexpected enemy emerging from Jason’s past and Chip’s reaction to everything that was thrown his way. Jason and Chip are hot together, but they have some mountains to climb to get on the same footing when it comes to the progress of their relationship. The shifter aspect was wonderful and I really hope to see more of these Native American shifters in the future.

I recommend this if you love Native American Legends, shifters, enemies from the far past, lurking danger, some angst, hot sex, great characters and a wonderful ending.

Blurb: Zygi Wyatt is an intimidating Dom, but he yearns for love just like the next man. However, finding a partner who isn’t scared of his size is no easy task. The easygoing Mo seems like the answer to his prayers. 

Love is the stuff of dreams. Ask the god Morpheus—he knows all about it. Mo wants Zygi in a forever kind of way, but he has to be sure of Zygi’s love before he claims him for his mate and reveals his true self.

Unfortunately, Zeus is growing increasingly unhappy with Morpheus, and Ares is determined to throw a monkey wrench into everything. Zygi and Mo will have to brave the wrath of the gods to make their dreams come true.

Purchase Link: http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=3886

Review: This story is part of a series and is best read in order. Zygi is a Dom and he has his eye on sexy shy man Mo, Mo seems interested and Zygi can’t wait to have him bound to his bed, but something isn’t quite right and there is a overheard conversation lurking in the back of Zygi’s mind. Mo wants nothing more than to claim his mate Zygi, but first Mo has to come clean as to who he really is and with Zeus and Ares, interfering it isn’t easy.

This story is a great ending to The Gods series. We get to see Zygi and Mo start a tentative relationship, moving slowly before interference causes them problems. Mo is an absolute sweetheart, he’s shy and quiet and although he knows what he wants, he is nervous about asking for it. Zygi is a man used to total control and recognizes a submissive at first glance, Mo is definitely submissive, and Zygi wants Mo to be his. Mo has his secrets though and no matter how much he wants to confess them, he is scared of what Zygi’s reaction will be. Zygi doesn’t know if he will be able to forgive the loss of control but Zygi is made to face what he was being protected form.

Hmmm BDSM woven together with an innocent God and an interesting storyline, what more could a kinky gal ask for? I really liked this storyline, the characters, Mo and Zygi were perfect together, and it was beautiful to see Zygi drawing Mo out, guiding him through the first stages of BDSM and giving Mo confidence. Mo brought out the Dom in Zygi very easily and reacted to the Dom sweetly and sexily. There is some tension and angst when Zygi discovers the truth and Zeus has to have words with him to get him to admit the truth of his own reaction. The story is well written and we see all the guys from the previous books. There was one part of the story that caused me to nearly die, Mo gets the ultimate revenge on Ares and it was so unexpected and funny that I sprayed tea everywhere, snorted it out of my nose and choked as I inhaled it… I have so got to stop drinking tea when I read.

I recommend this to those who love Gods and BDSM, hot sex, plenty of horny foreplay, great characters and a very happy ending.

Review: Taz is left miserable when he is dumped during a date on Earth. and what’s worse he is left stranded with no clothes, nowhere to stay and no way home until sexy Reed comes to his rescue. Reed is doing a last-minute delivery, when he finds himself with an armful of sexy man. taking pity on the young man who seems so lost and alone, he takes him for coffee, which quickly leads to more. but just what is Reed to do when he discovers Taz is an alien?

Be My Alien is a cute light-hearted story that will warm you up with its sweetness. Reed has been too busy with his boutique to really have a relationship. Meeting Taz when he is dropping a last-minute gift off to a client, pulls him into being spontaneous. Taz is sweet and naïve, but far from innocent. Being dumped on a date leaves him with no clue what to do next. meeting Reed has him acting without thinking and during an intimate moment reveals all of himself to Reed whose reaction scares him.

I did enjoy this story and Taz is such a cutie and Reed so charming that you can’t help but fall a little in love with them. the story is a little basic in a way, Taz and Reed meeting when Taz is left stranded, instant lust and then love following quickly… of course, there’s that little bit extra of Reed discovering Taz is an alien and Taz’s original date, Vorlod, trying to throw a spanner in the works.  The sex between them is wow and you have to watch out for Taz’s tail. This is a great story to read while relaxing out in the sun, or in my case stuck in the back of a car during a traffic jam on the way home from the beach 😉

I recommend this to those who love cute aliens, charming rescuers, hot sex, a touch of selfish nasty baddie, finding love and a very happy ending.

Blurb: Sparks ignite when Cupid takes aim at two mortals in Las Vegas: Randy Jones, an average guy on a company vacation, looks into Garrett’s eyes at a craps table and time stands still. Throwing aside everything he believes, Randy engages in a torrid two-night affair with Garrett—only to panic when he realizes he’s fallen in love.

Cynical billionaire Garrett Shiffler has everything money can buy, and most of his dates can’t see past the dollar signs. Life has taught him that innocence and love are figments of the imagination. But when Randy disappears, taking with him feelings Garrett thought he’d never know, Garrett wages the most important battle of his life to win Randy’s love—but this time he fights with his heart, not his bank account.

Meanwhile, Cupid wonders what happened. His golden arrows never fail unless the Fates interfere. If Garrett wants to win Randy back, he’s going to have to do it on his own, because the Fates have other plans for Cupid.

Review: Garrett is a cynical rich man who is used to men throwing themselves at him. When his eyes meet those of Randy across the craps table, he sees something in them that intrigue him and decides he wants to meet him. Randy is shocked when the hunky, gorgeous, obviously wealthy man across from him indicates he wants to meet him. But, decides to take a chance. Both men fall in love, but Randy knows that Garrett is way out of his league and flees.  Thankfully, Garrett knows that a man like Randy only comes along once in a lifetime.

This is a very sweet romantic, love at first sight story. Randy is just your normal everyday man; wealth doesn’t impress him and you can’t buy his love. When he meets Garrett he is impressed with the man and not the trappings, but as his time to leave comes he realizes that he has fallen in love and panics. Garrett is wary of men, although he wants to believe that Randy is different, he can’t help but doubt him at times. But the truth smacks him in the face and he accepts that Randy is the man for him. But, Randy flees and Garrett has to make Randy realizes that he truly wants him, but without flaunting his wealth.

*Sigh* both Garrett and Randy are great characters and theirs is a true love story that has Cupid hoping to help them on their way. Garrett is the arrogant, jaded, rich man and Randy, your down to Earth, every day guy, but they click in such a way that money and social standing doesn’t matter. They have passionate sex and they have sweet love-making. They are wonderful together, but Randy makes Garrett work for his belief in him by a courtship of sweet, thoughtful gifts.

A very sweet romance that has a bit of a Harlequin/Mills & Boon feel to it. I will recommend this to those who want a true love story romance, with Cupid in the background and a man proving his complete love without throwing his money about and a happy ending.
