Blurb: Victor Docimo loved his mate more than anything, and he’s worked hard to provide Charles with the life that he deserved. He’s strived to be the Alpha that his own Father was not.

Charles spent the last twenty-six years mated to his perfect Alpha. He raised their son and managed their home. He’s tried to provide his Alpha with a family, despite the fact that he can’t have more children. After seeing Victor with another Omega, he begins to wonder if he’s enough.

Now, the two of them must face their greatest challenge yet, something that shouldn’t be possible: a broken bond.

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

Victor’s home life growing up was filled with hate and anger. His alpha father was down right nasty to his omega father, so much so in the end his omega father ended his life. It made Victor want to stay away from fated mating. That lasted until he found his sexy mate. And their life was a blessing and a curse.

Charles had had a problem after giving birth to Aiden, and it had made it where there would be no more babies. It made him wonder if Victor was better off with another omega. They had been together for many years and after the move they seemed to fizzle. Things needed to spark to get them back on track.

Well I am glad to see Aiden’s parents once more and in their own story. There were some issues I had with the book that made it hard to actually like the story. It felt rushed for one and the way the characters were with each other just seemed to drive me nuts. In the beginning we go Victor’s upsetting past, then it didn’t go anywhere else. They have a grown son and a grandbaby to spoil, but their own lives are on hold. Charles blamed it on the fact he couldn’t give his alpha anymore babies. They lost their connection to each other and their bond broke.

In true mated stories it is unheard of but it is exactly that their bond broke. This is one of those paranormal stories where they don’t shift but are considered alpha’s and omega’s. They meet and the omega’s pop out babies. The author told a story that is so like many others but added in a bit of flare to where their bond can disolve if not tended to. This book didn’t give me anything I couldn’t have gotten from any other story. It did not pop out or stand out to me which was disappointing. The story had great potential but didn’t truly deliver.

I didn’t connect with this story or its characters like I should have. I was quite disappointed in the telling of this story and wished for more action, suspense and a bit of danger added in. For now I can say that this story just didn’t do it for me.

Blurb: Everett Surlin longed for the day that his Fated mate finally recognized him. It’d been eight years since he’d first met Matt Jenkins, he’d never imagined it take this long for his mate to realize their connection.

Matt Jenkins had done his best to put his past behind him. The abuse he’d endured as a child stayed locked away inside him, never to be shared with anyone. He’d assumed that as a result of his upbringing, he was broken and he would never have a mate. That didn’t stop him from desiring Everett and wishing that they could be together.

When tragedy strikes, Matt stays at Everett’s side, which just might be the push he needs to discover what had been there all along and a future he never dreamed would be possible.

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

Everett found his mate eight years ago, but since Matt was a teenager he just kept his distance. Which was pretty hard to do since Matt was around quite a bit growing up. I would imagine Everett’s pain in that time. When Matt needs to come stay on the ranch, well you can imagine the cold showers going on.

Matt has been holding on to a deep and dark secret in his past. One that had almost killed him, but thanks to friends he had been given a new life. However the past always comes back to bite you in the ass sometimes. Then the moment Matt realizes Everett is his mate and well you can guess what is going to hapen. Say goodbye to cold showers.

The buildup in the terror of his past was built up and then no explosion. It was kind of a let down in the end. The heat does level up once Matt does find out about his mate so that was a nice surprise. The story was a bit better than the first one, but I still didn’t like how the book just seem to dwindle down to a passive type of story. The one danger, action and suspense was nothing much more than a little pop when nothing happened.

I will admit that this series has not turned out the way I had hoped. There is more heat and sexual tension in this story but even that was tampered down. I hate to admit that this is one of those stories that are a bit of a drag and not really memorable. Other than my issues with it, it is still a nice read for when you need a break.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Brandon had taken over the company after his father and he was in need of some help. Damn thieves were stealing him blind, ok maybe not, but he needed to find out who was behind it. He also needed some help, but what he had not expected was for the new worker to be his mate.

Aiden wanted his dream job or at least close to it. He was good at his work and knew it. He hadn’t expected to walk in find his mate and be given the job with in seconds of each other. His mate was going to drive him crazy though, and if that man didn’t claim him soon well he could not be held accountable for his actions.

I have a blast reading about omega’s who can get pregnant, it always makes be laugh my ass off. This story really doesn’t have any world building just meet, find out they are mates, play it off a bit, then find the trouble, mate and have a baby. Aiden comes off pretty good and a pretty unique omega, where as Brandon comes off more annoying. Here he has his mate standing in front of him and it is work he aims at. Makes Aiden wait a bit to be mated, but there doesn’t seem to be real chemistry with them like there should be.

The danger that was provided from the thief was taken care of pretty fast and there was no real drama to it. I would have perferred to have a bit more of it to make the story more exciting, but it didn’t turn out that way.

Other than my issues with it, the story was a fun little one to read. I am afraid that I can’t imagine myself reading it more than once though, but it was still a nice read. There just wasn’t anything to it that would make it explosive. I hope the next book will have a bit more to it.

Blurb: As the leader of his pack, Griffin is not a typical omega. As far as he’s concerned, he’s destined to be alone; unable to bond, trained to kill, and with the responsibilities of a pack on his shoulders. If he was ever to take a mate, they’d have to be unlike anyone he’s ever met. An alpha willing to stand back and let their omega take charge? Not likely.

When he finds a feral alpha fighter so dangerous he’s about to be killed, Griffin makes the ill-advised decision to intervene. He sees something more than an animal in the alpha’s eyes. But whoever the fighter was before, all that’s left is anger and instinct. Can Griffin coax the man beneath back to the surface?

The Beast knows only the fight, nothing more. He doesn’t remember a before and doesn’t trust the strange omega who comes to visit him every day, bringing food and meaningless words. Until, one day, Griffin brings a name, and a part of Beast hidden deep inside breaks free.

Beau doesn’t know how Griffin brought him back. All he knows is the omega is his anchor in a storm. When forces from outside Griffin’s pack threaten to pull them apart, he’ll do everything he can to get his omega back. He’ll fight again, even if it means losing himself once more.

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Griffin’s pack is quite unusual. For one he is the omega and the one in charge, where as the alpha is second in charge. Then there is the fact that he is a feline shifter, there is a wolf shifter, fox shifter and so on in this pack. They rescue those who are in need and kill those who fight them. He comes across an alpha who is feral and about to be put down. That is until he decides that there is a chance that the alpha can be helped. It also worked out that he likes him.

Beau was an alpha who fought and killed, until one time he went feral. That story will have you in tears but not just because of the death it self, but who the man was. Here he is with an omega who wants to help him. Read the book if you want the juicy details though, trust me you won’t be sorry.

There were some great parts to this story but some not so great parts. A story is written because an author has a story to tell, and as a reader we don’t always understand their take on things. My issues wasn’t the death of the man that sent Beau into what he became but who he was. I didn’t much care for that and so much so that I will probably not really read the next book. Also the death well I won’t tell you who, but it wasn’t needed to make the story. I am afraid that the way this story unfolded really changed my mind in this series.

The story itself was fresh and exciting plus the danger just added to it. The characters are a bit different to get to know. I loved Griffin and could connect with him, but Beau was a bit different in parts. I actually found myself liking them both, however I couldn’t connect with them. The story felt a bit stiff and in parts boring to me. There were some good parts though that I liked, but over all the story just didn’t rock my world like it should have.

Blurb: Looking for an adventure…
Caden has always been known for his spontaneity and brazen nature. So when a contest to travel to the planet of Zata was announced on Earth, he signed up in a heartbeat. Not that he’d expected to win!

Thrown in the middle of a mating celebration, Caden is in his element. Zata is everything he had dreamed of – even better. It seems the sexy Zatans he’s seen on TV are even sexier in person. Especially the one calling himself Xade…

Nearly given up hope…
Xade, the second prince of Zata, has been searching for his mate for years with no luck. But when the planet is opened up to human visitors for the annual mating celebration, a surprising redheaded male catches his eye. Xade immediately knows he is the one, and life couldn’t be more perfect.

But not everyone is happy about their union, and just as things seem like they couldn’t be better, will he lose it all…?

ISBN: B07DLBLZHQ

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: I would suggest reading this series in order. It could be read as a standalone but you really would miss the first wedding and baby time.

Caden had no family left on Earth and no one to really miss him. He just wanted to find a sexy Zatan to fall in love with and maybe have a family. He just hadn’t expected to be mated to one of the sexy princes. Nor had he expected a group to want to wipe the humans out either.

Xade was one of the princes, third in line for the throne. He has always wanted a mate and a little one. He just had not expected to find him to be a human at the party. However things are going to heat up real soon for them both, that is if he can keep his mate alive.

This one had a bit more action then the first one, but truly was just about as bad. It came off rushed and nothing more then show up on a planet, find a mate, get pregnant all in one evening. I am sorry but there really needs to be more to it then what one gets. I do hope that the third book has just a bit more details in it and more patience put in to it. For now this story and series is not making a great impression on me.

The Last Emperor by Kari Gregg

Genre: Fantasy

Length: Novel (180pgs)

Publisher: Kari Gregg (December 27, 2017)

Heat Level: Moderate

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 4 1/2 Hearts

Blurb: The tribes were his to lose…and theirs to regain.

History taught that rebels executed the imperial family, including young Prince Nika Marisek, and hid the bodies in an unmarked grave. History was wrong.

Decades later, yarn shop owner Nick Goode reclaimed his identity to see his long-dead family decently buried. He’ll do whatever he must to persuade elders who now rule the tribes…even offer to abdicate. Some, however, seek to capitalize on Nick’s survival. Who better to drag the tribes from corruption into freedoms the rebellion had promised if not the prince who became one of the peasantry in exile?

Arit hates politics. When Elder Benjic, his estranged sire, shows up with the celebrity prince to fulfill a pre-war mating pact, Arit refuses. He craves strength on strength, the challenge of an alpha mating another alpha. A damaged omega who knits won’t do. Arit will guide them on an adventure tour exploring their wolf instincts; that’s his job. But that’s all he’ll do.

Except Nick isn’t an omega. He isn’t damaged. And if he seduces Arit to win Benjic’s support, Nick won’t give up his throne, either. He’ll risk everything to realize the ideals of the rebellion…and end his fate as the tribes’ last emperor.

CONTENT WARNING: palace intrigues, mpreg themes, shifter knotting, and two stubborn alphas who must learn to work together to save an empire

ISBN: B078P4WG12

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: After the murder of his family at the hands of rebels who were betrayed them Nick is secreted away severely injured. Now many years later Nick decides it is time for the emperor to emerge and take back what is his. I liked the story. I felt Nicks pain for his family throughout. My heart cried out at the brutal injustice done to so many as a result of greed and power.

Arit was an angry man especially about his sire who left many years before. With no choice but to accept the guests at his resort Arit meets Nick along with his sire and entourage. What starts as not wanting them there turns into a mating heat, love and fierce desire to protect.

Arit and Nick were perfect for each other. I loved the way they each leaned on each other when the need arose. The tensions between the elders and the people were front and center as a history of past transgressions come to light.

Really interesting read.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Blurb: He ran because of fear, but was found because of love. . .

The moment Blayze McKnight joins the Pryde Pack he knows it is only a matter of time before everyone finds out that he is not what he claims to be. Being the last of his kind, Blayze was never taught the way of the dragon. Because the man he wants he can never claim as his. After shifting into his true form to save the man he deeply cares for, he runs. Fear of being rejected Blayze turns his back on the friends and the pack he once called home. And giving up on ever finding his Draco Corde. His dragon heart.

Ryland Burnett has never been wrong before, especially when he follows his gut. The day he met Blayze McKnight he knew the man belonged completely to him. And they are mates for life. After being injured in a fight, he wakes up in the hospital expecting to see his mate by his side, only to hear the man is gone. Ryland wastes no time and goes in search of his soul mate.

Finding Blayze is the easy part, but what happens next neither expected. Will Ryland and Blayze’s love be strong enough for what they face next?

ISBN: B07F1H27Z1

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: When Blayze was about six years old, his parents were murdered and he was told to run. Hungry, tired he decided to hide out inside an old barn where he was found by a sweet couple and raised as their own. He had a very big secret that he couldn’t tell any one about, that he was a dragon shifter. As he got older he lived with a great pack but feared they would find out what he had been hiding from them all. He was the last living dragon, or so he thought.

Ryland had been in love with the doc for quite sometime and knew that the man was his mate. To bad he couldn’t get Blayze to accept it and him. Then he was injured and saved by the man, and boy had they been in shock. A pack is in danger and they needed both Ryland and Blayze, but what they find will definitely be worth it.

I have always loved dragon shifter’s and this book gave them to me. It is a very unique story line with a few quirks to it. I don’t really care for what they are called but only because it is just different. Some of them are a bit hard to say but hey the characters rock. Excitement, danger, adventure, twists and turns, plus some hot sexy times are just a bit of what you get in this book.

I had a blast reading it and look forward in to getting the next book, lets just hope it is not a long wait between them. I would definitely recommend it.

The Selkie Prince’s Fated Mate by J.J. Masters Release Blast & Excerpt!

J.J. Masters - The Selkie Prince’s Fated Mate TAGLINE

Hi guys, we have J.J. Masters poppingin today with her new release The Selkie Prince’s Fated Mate, we have a great excerpt so check out the post and enjoy! ❤ ~Pixie~

The Selkie Prince’s Fated Mate

(The Royal Alphas 01)
by

J.J. Masters

A Selkie prince forced to produce an heir. An omega destined to become a royal’s fated mate…

Prince Kai’s life as he knows it is now over. As the firstborn alpha to the Selkie King of the North, he’s required to produce an heir. Whether he wants to or not. When the Selkie Seekers finally present his fated mate, he dreads being tied to this stranger for the rest of his life. He can only hope his omega will be easy on the eyes and somewhat intelligent.

Raised in a family of good breeding, Luca always knew it was possible he’d end up the mate for an alpha of nobility. Only to whom, he never knew. Every time the Seekers summoned him for the humiliating presentation ceremony to royalty of all levels, he feared being stuck with some unbearable, abusive or very unattractive alpha. As an omega he doesn’t have the choice to say no. Not only is it his obligation, it’s the law. If he refuses, he and his family would become outcasts and banished from the Selkie community.

However, as soon as Kai enters the Great Hall of the North, it’s clear that the handsome prince is his alpha. Luca’s pleased with the choice the fates made until the king demands that not only he become pregnant within six months but produce an alpha pup with his son, otherwise he’ll be cast aside. And getting pregnant mightbe a problem…

Note: A 56k word m/m shifter mpreg story, this is the first book in the Royal Alpha series. Due to the “knotty” times in this book, it is recommended for mature readers only. It can be read as a standalone and, of course, has an HEA.

Heat Level: Low

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Blurb: Deputy Joe of the Arrowtown Sheriff’s department has tried to hold his head up high his entire life, even though it’s never been easy. Carrying the Quincy name has been a curse he’s worked hard to put behind him, but when his two uncles get thrown out of Arrowtown because of their nefarious dealings, Joe found the courage to turn to the one man he thought would stand by his side. Being told he was “too young, too dumb and too well-hung” were not the words he expected to hear when his true mate rejected him to his face. As the man in question was the town doctor, it’s not surprising that when Joe gets hurt, turning up at the man’s surgery was the last thing on his to-do list.

Doctor Nathan Farriday (known locally as “Doc”) has lived a long life, and not always on his own. A long time Arrowtown local, Doc has watched Joe grow into a kind, decent, hardworking man – too good for him in other words. If asked, Doc could spout a long list of reasons why taking the man as his fated mate was a bad idea. Age and inexperience were just the easiest reasons to explain. The danger from his animal half was something he preferred to keep to himself. But when Joe’s family come calling and Joe is left badly hurt, Doc has to reassess a lifetime of bad choices.

Rampaging buffalo shifters and a bomb blast have the potential to splinter the tiny shifter town apart. In the ashes of the aftermath, the sheriff’s department work furiously to keep their population safe. But will Joe and Doc’s relationship survive the revelation of Doc’s biggest secret or will they be forced to leave the town they both call home?

ISBN: B07FQBC5XF

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Joe has had a difficult time and is pretty damn hard on himself. His entire family were banished from Arrowtown and their belongings were sold as restibution. He didn’t have a clue about his parents, but had been raised by his uncle. An uncle that was devious and crazy as an old loon. He didn’t feel that the twon folk really wanted him there, he knew his mate sure didn’t.

Doc knew Joe was his mate, hell he had known for two years. The problem was he was pretty cruel to him and they basically stayed away from each other. That is until his uncle came back and tried to kill him. Knocked Doc for a loop and brought his heart back into the workings. An old fool can learn something new.

They both had a lot in common, neither wanted to show their animal form. Joe was a big ass buffalo shifter where as his mate was a Komodo dragon shifter. Doc was the only doc in town and boy is he in for one big surprise. He has no clue and his reaction is funny as hell. Joe is a deputy and is pretty good at his job not to mention how smart he is. This story was fascinating and gave me everything I could want in a story. Hot sexy times, excitement, danger and so much more are just a bit of what you get in this story.

I had a lot of fun reading this and can’t wait to find out what the twin’s names are going to be. Which means I will definitely be looking out for the next book.

Blurb: This is a second edition. All rights to the book have been returned to the author who has made minor edits. 

Nothing can prepare Josiah Kimbrel for what he finds when he enters the compound of the River Wolf Pack. As an ambassador of the human-werewolf congress, Josiah is keen to build bridges between the two species. Josiah is surprised to see how ‘normal’ things look in the compound; the wolves, all of whom are gay, live in family units, complete with children, in houses built from local materials. He is even more surprised when he goes into what in the shifter world is called “heat” and is claimed by River, the alpha of the pack.

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Rebecca James is a new author for me and I have to say that I have mixed feelings at least about this story. It is a fascinating tale with a new twist to it. The characters are fun to read about and very interesting to learn more about them. It is a very steamy shifter romance with knotting and male pregnancy which was a fun fact for me. I always did love a good mpreg story. I had a few problems with this story though. It comes off a bit stiff and not as fluid as it should have.

River is not only a strong leader of his pack but he is loyal to a fault. He is also a bit strange to me, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that the man was sexy as hell. He has this power that makes an omega just roll over and beg for it. In the past and present humans and werewolves do not get along and River has decided it is time for peace. So he had agreed for a human to visit their pack. He had not expected the human to be a half werewolf and half human, and an omega to top it off. Damn he wanted the man.

Congress has decided to forge a peace between the humans and the werewolves, however it would seem they have an agenda of their own. They have sent a human to learn more about them, and Josiah was perfect for that. However it would seem that Josiah’s uncle has not told him that he was half werewolf. So when he goes into heat he is in for one hell of a surprise. It would seem he is in heat and an omega. That and the alpha River is his mate.

Now there is a lot of distrust going on in this pact. Josiah and his loss a friend due to a werewolf attack. The werewolf just happens to be Rivers second in command and Josiah doesn’t trust the man. However there are more secrets going on and the danger is heating up.

The way Josiah was with River just seemed unneeded. However it doesn’t really take away from the story too much. The story is very entertaining and actually fun to read. I wasn’t really sure if I liked the way they were in the beginning with Josiah refusing River, but it turns out to be pretty damn hot in the end. I didn’t much care to be told each chapter about who it is about but other than that I had a lot of fun reading this story and can’t wait to see what the next book is about.

This is one of those series that must be read in order. Trust me you will fall in love with these guys.

Logan wants Kieran more than he has wanted any man before. He just doesn’t smell like they are fated mates. His pack seems to be getting bigger as time goes by, but he is happy with the way things are going. However he doesn’t truly show it, growing up his and Jackson’s father was a piece of work. Always blaming everything that goes wrong on Logan. He slowly learned to turn his feelings to ice, never showing how he really felt. That is until Kieran.

Kieran had been sold as a slave to a nasty piece of work. He was a special wolf with a very unique gift. He can calm and help ones feelings with just a touch. He learned how to hide his scent similar to the w ay Logan and their pack does. Things get a bit twisted for these two but well lets just say the book rocks.

I had a blast reading this book even more than the last three. So much so that I can see myself reading this series more than once. Danger, excitement, surprises, adventure and some hot sexy times are just a few things you get in this book. The characters are a blast to read, and lets just say that Kieran and his friends are my favorite so far. Cute and sexy is an understatement. These guys just pull at your heart.

I enjoyed reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Shorty’s Review: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts, Heat Level: Moderate

This story was a very intense emotional one. Keiran and Logan are both struggling to deal with what happened to them in the past. My heart cried out for the both of them and what they endured. I felt the love between them as they helped one another the best they could.
Keiran and Logan were both strong yet damaged characters. The struggles they faced were unimaginable. Yet they found a way with each other. I love how this series is going so far.

The one thing I never understood was why the brothers kept their powers a secret from each other as well as their mates. It seems to me they would have a much stronger front if they knew what said powers each had and what exactly they could but that’s just me.

Great read. Looking forward to reading more.

Lisa’s Review: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts, Heat Level: Low

This is one of those series that must be read in order. Trust me you will fall in love with these guys.

Cody had part of his gift when he was a child. First it was like a feeling, then when their pack was killed he was getting visions left and right. He was also getting the pain from them just like he was the one that it was happening to. The thing was when he got a vision he left the place he was on and basically went somewhere else. He was afraid that one day he would not come back from it, somedays he wished it would happen. Then he realized the wolf that they found was his mate. A mate that could help him.

Dylon has known since he was a teenager that his mate would be a seer and that he would need him. He had been caught ratting out the pack he was out, the problem was he had no memory of it. Not that it helped him, it got him beaten almost to death. Then he comes to only to find out the ones who saved him were the ones that he was suppose to kill. And that the pack who ordered the hit, were the same ones that killed Cody’s family and pack.

This has some pretty good surprises in this book. I was pleased at how well this book turned out. Exciting with danger and lots of action are just a bit of what you get in this book. And trust me, you are going to love Dylon’s mom. She is a hoot. This story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything I could want in a story and so much more.

I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading the next book.

Cody is struggling with his seer gift as it has intensified. he is on the verge of giving up. Ex enforcer Dylon is badly beaten and on the verge of death when he comes to the Blackwood pack. I enjoyed the meeting between these two. The struggles they each have been through are a testiment to how strong they really are.

The series continues evolve in a great series with each brother being a focus and the gifts explained. I liked the details surrounding the brothers as the come in better focus. Cody and Dylon amazed me with their passion. I loved they helped each other when it was needed.

Love all the twists and turns that seem to just keep coming the further the series goes. I will not be pained in the least when the bad guys finally get whats coming to them. I will revel in the fact they will be no more. I despise them with a passion. The harm they have inflicted was so beyond bad that I have no words to describe it.

Great read.

Lisa’s Review: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts, Heat Level: Low

Colton and his brothers are the last remaining wolves from their pack. Murdered by an uncle for greed. They were alpha’s who were also omega’s. His brother was given the gift to have a child. Colton had finished over three years for his nursing degree before they had to run. It was the only thing he ever wanted to do, and now he might have the choice. A choice that is the most powerful of gifts to have, now all he had to do is to believe it.

Ian was a doctor and was pretty good at what he did. His whole life he believed that he was a gamma wolf, but it would seem there is some hidden truths in him. He has spent time talking to Colton on the phone but believes that they are mates. He never wanted to mate for fear that it would take away from what he wanted to do. Then Colton is kidnapped and being sold, he would do everything in his powers to save him.

This story was quite a bit better than the first book. It was exciting and danger filled all the way. It also was very unique in more than just one way. The characters just seemed to flow together perfectly, but damn Ian’s wolf is nutty. I love how they are so much closer to their wolves then many shifter stories are.

I found myself entranced with this book and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book to see if it is even better than this one.

I had a lot of fun reading it and would definitely recommend it.

Shorty’s Review:♥♥♥♥♥ 4 1/2 Hearts, Heat Level: Moderate

Loved this story about Colton and Ian. We are given more insight to the characters and details are revealed as to the why of things past. I loved that Ian wanted to ride to the rescue when Colton is kidnapped.

Colton struggles with his missed dream of being a nurse and settles for helping animals instead. When Dr, Ian comes in the sparks fly between the two then Colton is kidnapped.

I loved just about everything about this intriguing struggle of good and evil. Twists and turns take the reader on a journey of unimaginable power.

The only thing that confused me was why the dire warning in the first book if there were going to be no consequences? I would have thought kidnapping would be in the category of anything bad happening to the Blackwood pack members still living but that’s me.

Great read.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Leo was one of the lucky winners to get to go to Zata. Zata was the first alien world that Earth has ever came across. They were the ones to come to Earth just over a year ago to trade. Now they were inviting them to come visit and for a celebration. He never thought that he might be gay but I guess that changes when he finds out that he is a Zata mate.

Arex is the youngest prince of Zata. He has always wanted to find his true mate, but he never thought he would. He just hoped that one of the humans was his. He also hoped that he would have a child by his mate. Now all he has to do is to convince Leo that they were meant to be together.

I wasn’t really sure about this story not even when I read it the second time. First off the Zata’s didn’t tell the humans that the party was for mating. Second the kid didn’t even know he was gay. Third basically the little purple fruit was a drug making the kid go further then he would have normally. The world needs more building to it then just what we got. It was basically go to a planet you haven’t been on, meet the aliens, have sex then right off the bat you’re pregnant and boom you’re in love, well that just makes it weirder then it already was. This whole story was just what it seems a fantasy.

Other than those issues it would be a great book had there been more to it, and it didn’t come off as rushed by the author. I could see it being a four point five to a five heart book had it had more detail and lots more going on then what it had going on.

This was the first book by this author I have had a chance to read and I am going to check out what book two has going on before I decide if I want to pursue reading this series. So far it is an enjoyable read.

Blurb: Mate or die.

Gabriel is out of time. As the last unmated omega wolf in his superstitious pack, he faces an ultimatum: mate with an alpha, or be banished to the vicious outside world. Gabriel knows he won’t survive out there, but he doesn’t have much of a choice. It’s stay and mate, or leave and die.

But Gabriel wants to make his own choice. Despite the dangers, he leaves the pack. When violent humans threaten him with death or worse, Gabriel accepts his fate – until a gorgeous alpha dragon appears and saves him from a certain demise.

Fight for love.

Dante hadn’t intended to find a mate. As an alpha shifter with the hybrid powers of dragon and wolf, he’s gifted with immortality and power. He’d rather be at home with his books than escorting a scout over the lands and searching for new omegas to bring back to their tribe.

But when Dante sees an omega wolf fall into the hands of cruel raiders outside the pack’s walls, he feels the spark. Gabriel is his fated mate. Dante refuses to find his mate and lose him in the same night. Dante will fight tooth and talon to protect Gabriel, and doesn’t care what stands in his way.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Gabriel’s pack has lived behind the walls for as long as he could remember. They knew that by going out they would die by the hands of the humans. One omega had left long ago only to die by their hands, or so they think. No one really knows. The laws state that if an omega doesn’t take the hand of an alpha they are forced to leave. Basically being sentenced to death. Gabe however didn’t want an alpha, he wanted a fated mate. Just those words are outlawed pretty much. Ass backwards pack if you tell me.

Dante had not wanted to leave his home but knew he had to basically keep his friend safe while she searched for omega’s who wanted to come with them. However he heard a cry and went to find out. What he found was his fated mate about to die. Thing is his mate is as stubborn as all gets out and boy is he trouble.

This is the first time I had read a story written by this author so I wasn’t really sure what I would get. It is a very fascinating story that has a unique twist to it. Dante is a dragon shifter who can shift into a wolf. They also have magical abilities as well. However even though it is a unique and fresh idea, it is also well used in the alpha/omega sense. It flows nice but it jumps from saving, to meeting, to mating, to having a baby and so forth. It made the story just a bit off to me. It just needs more to it. To many inconsistencies to really make the story rock for me. For one the words fated mate were basically outlawed, but how did Gabe not know that if he was born there.

It has a few problems that could be fixed, but it is the first book in the series so I am hoping that there are more to the next ones. It was a very entertaining read and did keep my attention pretty much through it all. I just hope the next book doesn’t come off rushed. For now I will continue to read the rest of the series once they come out.

Blurb: Python had made a mess of his life and now was paying the ultimate price. He was dying. It was nothing else but what he deserved after all. Only… Maybe he needed to hit rock bottom before finding everything he’d ever searched for?
Rei was not the type to offer anyone second chances. Especially some punk supernatural creature that had almost killed his baby brother. What could ever excuse that? No, he wasn’t even thinking about it. Besides, his attention was elsewhere focused… On much more pleasant issues than his former military career.
If only things were that simple. Fortunately, they weren’t and as they will both soon figure it out, it wasn’t up to them to decide.

ISBN: B07DP2RXQ3

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Python almost killed his brother’s human mate. He had not meant to but had thought the guy was his, and if he had died so would his brother. Thankfully his brother’s mate saw what was really going on, well some parts of it. What none of them realized other than Python, was Python was dying. He had taken on their mothers curse. He was turning human, unless he mated. What he had not expected was to have two mates.

Rei has spent time in the military and was tough as nails. He had the hots for someone that was trying to kill him, pretty strange but the fact that Jonathan didn’t want to kill him well you can guess. Jonathan was half human and half kappa, and his uncle was his master. His master wanted him to kill Rei, but hey he was not into meat. Sounds pretty screwed up to me.

First off this book had so many grammar and spelling problems that it made the story just off. They were easy to spot and just drove me nuts. The whole story jumped all over the place and made me want to just throw the book. It has a funny tone to it in the end, but you had to get through the first half of the book to see it, and getting that far was a fight. I like the ending better than I thought although I would have wished to see how many babies they ended up with.

Over all this story was just bizarre and off putting. It made my head hurt just reading it. I gave it a higher rating just because these guys were funny, well in parts of it.

The story might have had a better chance if it didn’t come off rushed and not edited. I am sorry to say but this story just pretty much bottomed out for me.

Jayce by L.C. Davis & Wolf Conan

Title: Jayce

Series: Undercover Alphas 02

Author: L.C. Davis & Wolf Conan

Genre:  Omegaverse, Mpreg, Contemporary

Length: Novella (126pgs)

Publisher: L.C. Davis (June 1, 2017)

Heat Level: Moderate

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts

Blurb: Deep undercover to investigate rumors of embezzlement at one of his family’s companies, Jayce Roman finds himself magnetically attracted to his number-one suspect.

Lonely omega Wren Smith is a single father struggling to provide a good life for his hard-of-hearing daughter in an alpha’s world. When his mate Travis Mueller was killed in a tragic accident, the wealthy Mueller family refused to acknowledge Wren or Harriet, perceiving them both as a threat to their “perfect” son’s legacy. Wren is proud of the life he’s built on his own since Travis left them with nothing, and he’s grateful to have a job at a company that’s willing to employ a single-parent omega, even if it means covering for his smarmy boss. But when a young alpha named Jack Coheed shows up amid rumors of a company audit, Wren finds himself at the center of a high-stakes investigation — and the dashing alpha’s attention.

With a newly minted Econ degree and a desire to prove himself to his family, Jayce Roman is finally ready to get serious. He wants more out of life than an endless string of modelesque lovers and meaningless flings, and Wren Smith is more in every way. The husky omega is clever and responsible, and seemingly oblivious to the nerdy charm that has Jayce smitten at first sight. Unfortunately for him, Wren isn’t at all interested in being swept off his feet by a much younger alpha and all signs point to the omega being at the center of the very corruption Jayce was sent to investigate.

When Jayce’s secret identity and Wren’s secrets collide, Jayce will have to prove he can step up and be not only a mate to Wren but a father to his daughter as well. The omega’s dream of a happily ever after might have been shattered, but this alpha is determined to fit the pieces back together.

This romance features a husky omega and contains mature subject material that follows MPREG tropes and may have a rough road leading up to the inevitable happily-ever-after. Adult audiences only.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Jayce goes undercover at Eracorp to figure out who is embezzling money. While there he meets his mate, Wren. Unfortunately things are looking like Wren is the suspect until Jayce discovers the real culprit has been using Wren and plans on framing him.

Blackmail, action, suspense and drama surround this thrilling story as Wren and Jayce grow closer and the culprit tightens the strings on them both. I loved this story from start to finish. The details of Wren’s past are painful. I felt for all Wren had been through.

Great read.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts

Blurb: Gray Roman is a CEO on an undercover mission, but the last thing he’s expecting to find in a place like the Cathouse is… a mate?

Dylan doesn’t lead an easy life, but he lives it on his own terms. He attends college by day with dreams of owning his own spa, and at night, he strips off his dignity and dons a less-than-modest uniform to wait tables at the Cathouse. The pay isn’t great and the management is worse, but when a self-described corporate drone shows up to lay the groundwork for a new omega bar across town, things get interesting. “Griff Styles” isn’t a typical alpha, but a night of heat-induced passion makes Dylan wonder if “Griff” is really who he claims to be.

Gray is an alpha who has it all: He’s handsome, driven and set to inherit Roman Enterprises, a multibillion-dollar corporation with a portfolio encompassing everything from security firms to…omega bars, apparently. Sent on an undercover mission as Griff to investigate his father’s latest acquisition, Gray finds himself surrounded by loud-mouthed alphas and scantily clad omegas. Falling for an omega was never in his five-year plan, but what he feels for Dylan is the kind of thing money just can’t buy.

Can an alpha and an omega who are far more interested in their respective careers find love in the unlikeliest of circumstances, or will their prejudices keep their shared attraction undercover?

~Approximately 40,000 words. This is the first book in the Undercover Alphas series and it can be read as a standalone, HEA guaranteed. Undercover Alphas: Gray is a steamy gay romance that contains mature subject material that follows MPREG tropes and may have a rough road leading up to the inevitable happily-ever-after.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: When Dylan meets Griff at the Cathouse where he works he has no idea who the man really is. The two strike up a conversation and due to Dylan going into heat one thing leads to another. Grey is all business when his father wants him to check out an investment. Gray is not impressed with the place but the cute waiter has him feeling things he never thought he would.

Misunderstandings, jealousies and deceit are all in abundance in this story. I really felt for both Gray and Dylan throughout the story. I was glad everything was straightened out between the two and with Gray and his brothers.

Good read.
