Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Northern Lodge 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.

Luke and his little brothers had been sold to a creepy alpha who intended to add them to his little omega pregnancy circle. Thankfully they had been rescued along with the older omega’s. Now they were both older and trying to figure out their way. Luke was very protective of not only his baby brother but of the little ones in the pack. Saving one of the pups and then getting hit by a truck, he is surprised to wake up to his mate sitting besides him. The problem was he had no clue that Daniel was his mate, because his sniffer was broken.

Daniel knew it was hard for Luke to take him at his word, so he decided to woo him and romance him with human ways. Know the true reason for different colors of flowers or what six flower mean? Well read the book and you will find out.

The author didn’t pull out the whole mating heat in this one, but a romantic scene throughout. How time took them to the moment when Luke finally figures it out. I will admit that the grammar and spelling are getting better but there are still a few mistakes in the book. As well as the fact that the author keeps rushing these books out, without truly reading through it all. The only thing I keep thinking is she needs a better beta reader. It was not as bad as the previous books but still felt a bit off. I will admit that I give this book and the previous ones a higher rating because I like the story, but truthfully they don’t really deserve it for the errors in the story and the rush to publish.

Other than those problems, I did enjoy this book quite a bit and can see myself reading it more than once.

Review: This is not the first time I’ve read a book by Elizabeth Monvey. I’ve only read one or two other books and they had me a bit reluctant to go again because the writing style did not agree with me. However, I have to admit that this is the first time I really and truly connected with the characters and absolutely fell in love with her story.

Honestly, the story is something of a tried and true formula, and fans of that formula will not be disappointed by the story. I suppose in some ways it really does come under the banner of cheesy paranormal romance. But, hell, I’m a sucker for that and I ate it right up! The story starts with Ajay Orbin, who has been trapped by scientists in a lab; let’s call that tried and true #1. He’s a bear shifter who has met his mate, another bear shifter, Henry, tried and true #2. However, circumstances have kept them apart and hurt Ajay, namely the fact that Henry had a wife, tried and true #3. Henry is a bear shifter who goes around with a team to free shifters who are being experimented on, tried and true #4. And that is where the M-preg stuff comes in, tried and true #5, and is of course something that is more niche in terms of tastes than everything else in this story. So, now our heroes are forced to be together again despite not all having the time to heal the rift that had formed between them – really, I would have liked a little more self flagellation (all mental!) on Henry’s side.

Look, despite my rating because I really did love this book, you can tell by my brief analysis there are plenty of holes in this story. Most glaring would be the rushed pace of story and character development. Part of me wanted to bring the rating down to 3.5 because I think with more words and time this could be a truly awesome book. It is something that you could expect from a Flynn Eire or Lynn Hagen type of story and without the detail of a Stormy Glenn book. But as it is, I loved the story, I loved the shifters, I love the M-preg stuff – all the elements were there to suck me into the world of Ajay and Henry and I enjoyed every second of it.

Reviewer: Lisa & Shorty

Lisa’s Review: 💖💖💖💖💖 4 1/2 Hearts

Greyson is a pregnant omega who had lost his alpha. His alpha had decided he didn’t want Grey any longer nor did he want the baby. He works a job he loves but is about to get evicted from his home, because an asshat doesn’t like pregnant omegas with no alpha’s in sight. To top it off someone is stealing his work and his roommate was an abusive jackal. He wants to trust his best friend with his baby news, but hell he hasn’t even told his abuela. Too bad he forgot that he left his computer part on, Harper found out.

Harper has wanted Greyson with all of his heart. When he found out what was going on with Greyson and the fact that he was pregnant, well lets just say the family is going to help. First he had to figure out how to Greyson to move to Maine.

Then there is a jealous omega who is nuttier than all hell out to get Harper back. Plus someone out to kill Greyson.

Action packed, excitement overload, sexy times, and pets out of your ears is what you get in this story and so much more. My attention had been caught from the start and kept all the way to the end. Now I was actually quite surprised, because there are very few stories like this that I truly like. I am not a fan of alpha and omega stories with mpreg, where there is no actual shifting. It usually comes off bizarre to say the least. However I found that I liked this quite a bit.

It does have it little problems but they are not truly noticable. I would have liked the first part of the story defining a bit more on who they are and how they met. A little bit more back ground was needed but not so much. I still found myself enjoying the guys quite a bit. It flowed quite evenly and the pace was pretty good . I would love to get my hands on the next book.

Shorty’s Review: 💖💖💖💖 3 1/2 Hearts

Harper and Grey seem to be pulled apart around every turn they attempt to make with each other. Grey had it the worst though. But eventually the achieve their happy ever after.

I liked the story. It was sweet and cute between Harper and Grey when they were together. I was cheering for them throughout the story.

Good read.

Blurb: When Caden Duncan goes to an ‘abduction party’ to try to get taken up by sexy aliens for some exotic fun among the stars, he has no idea that he’ll actually be abducted and meet the love of his life.

And when he abducts Caden for a night of pleasure, King Wrak’h of the planet Retevin has no idea that the sexy Earth male is in fact his Fated Mate.

None of them suspect that their night together will end up with Caden pregnant.

Or that Caden will be hunted by evil aliens who are dead set on getting their long, thin hands on the unborn heir to the Retevin kingdom…

ISBN: B01IG4HIHE

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Ever since aliens started showing up on Earth there have been many parties looking forward to a night of fun with them. Caden hadn’t really wanted to go with his best friend, but must admit that when he met Wrak’h, he just might change his mind. True he had not known at first that the man was an alien but what was more shocking was that he was a king, Caden was pregnant and evil aliens wanted their baby.

This story was pretty hard to get into and I wasn’t too sure I was actually going to finish it. The storying is long and frustrating, but it does get a bit better towards the end. It does not capture ones attention like it should have but then again there was more to it, that was not needed. The sex is ok but lets face it just because there is sex, does not mean there is true passion. Also you get the feeling that if there was no baby, there would be no true mating. One night stand is all I got from this story, until the pregnancy. There was no heat, no passion and definitely no sparks from this book. It felt like I was reading a weird ass tech book.

I will admit that this story is not one that I would read more than one time. The book started out horrible but did get better towards the ending. The danger was probably the high-light, but even then you can tell that there was no way anyone could have survived, but the author pulled it off.

What really got me was Wrak’h. His reaction to his sahan should have been stronger, but he only truly gave a damn about his baby. It was just not believable.

I am truly disappointed in this book and I hate to admit that I would not recommend it.

Blurb: Coven leader Cain Windgate was aware he had a mate on the farm where members of his coven wanted to relocate. He didn’t know how a mate would fit into his orderly life. And if there was more than one? All he could envision was a future of chaos. When he arrived on the farm to discuss members of his coven desiring to move there, he finally learned their numbers and their identities. There were three of them. Three mates with distinctly different personalities. Not one of them was a vampire, someone who would know that vampires were governed by strict rules, none of which included adding sparkles to anything. There was Chance Harding, a werewolf that had once been human. Then there was Larson Brekken, a brown bear shifter who loved to stir up trouble. And, lastly, there was Pebin Xavier Muldoon, a fairy with a love for all things shiny. Nope, not a vampire among them.

ISBN: 978-1-64243-531-3

Product Link: Siren-BookStrand | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: A large mixture of attitudes and quirks. Cain is the leader of his vampires and has a big job of doing it. However he also knows his mates are not there. He has a feeling that they are at the ranch and isn’t really to into it. He just has no clue how to make it work. He is a city vampire and those at the ranch are well not. He just had not expected three of them, and there is not a vampire in the mix.

Chance was a human but is now a werewolf and has one hell of a grumpy attitude towards everyone. Larson is the big ass bear shifter who just loves to drive Chance crazy. Neither are really big on popping out babies, which is probably why they are not doing the dirty right off the bat. Then there is sexy little Pebin. Now Pebin is a fairy who wants to pop out those babies and decorate everything with glitter. Four separate personallities and damn is this going to be funny as hell.

I spent most of my time wanting to smack the alpha’s in the ass and laughing at Pebin. He was the best character of them all. The whole group if a blast to read about, and lets not forget Fred’s crazy ass five year olds and their stealing ways. The only danger of them all. It is a eays read with a nice pace going for it. The only problem with it was that it seems to be missing a certain spark to it. The connection between the four men just doesn’t seem to go smoothly which in some ways works out fine but in others makes it seem like they were pushed to it.

Overall I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to get my hands on the next story. I was real glad to see that none of these guys were given a female mate, but that is just me. I would definitely recommend it.

Leta Blake: Alpha Heat ~ Audio Review

Author: Leta Blake

Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo

Genre: Non-shifter Omegaverse

Length: 15 hours and 22 minutes

Publisher: Leta Blake Books (22nd October 2018)

Heat Level: Moderate – Explicit

Heart Rating: 💖💖💖💖 4 Hearts

Blurb: A desperate young alpha. An older alpha with a hero complex. A forbidden love that can’t be denied.

Young Xan Heelies knows he can never have what he truly wants: a passionate romance and happy-ever-after with another alpha. It’s not only forbidden by the prevailing faith of the land, but such acts are illegal.

Urho Chase is a middle-aged alpha with a heartbreaking past. Careful, controlled, and steadfast, his friends dub him old-fashioned and staid. When Urho discovers a dangerous side to Xan’s life that he never imagined, his world is rocked and he’s consumed by desire. The carefully sewn seams that held him together after the loss of his omega and son come apart—and so does he.

But to love each other and make a life together, Xan and Urho risk utter ruin. With the acceptance and support of Caleb, Xan’s asexual and aromantic omega and dear friend, they must find the strength to embrace danger and build the family they deserve.

This gay romance novel by Leta Blake is the second in the Slow Heat universe. It’s 130,000 words, with a strong happy ending and a well-crafted, non-shifter Omegaverse. It features alphas, betas, omegas, male pregnancy, heat, and knotting. No cheating. Content warning for brief sexual violence.

Reviewer: Gigi

Review: A deeper read than I thought. I started with this audiobook not having read the first in the series. I’m very impressed with Michael Ferraiuolo’s narration, he delivers the right amount of passion, a variety of voices/characterizations and good tempo.

There are lots of layers to this story, set in a non-shifter Omegaverse. The world the story is set in involves status/social positions of Omega, Beta, and Alpha, and an interesting concept of being unmanned, which is what I came to learn of as “gay” for an Alpha, to be in the submissive position.
Readers are reintroduced to other couples from book one, and we get a good feel for the fact that all of the relationships in this series somehow intersect or overlap.

My favorite character, and the strongest by far is Urho. As a doctor he cares for all the characters, being wounded from loss of his spouse and son, he builds up protections around his heart. He wants Xan but denies himself until he sees that Xan is putting his life in danger and nothing other than taking him in hand, and heart, will protect him.

Caleb is an interesting balance to the trio. As an asexual Omega, Caleb nonetheless loves Xan and feels safe in their relationship, knowing Xan will not pressure him sexually but will be there to help with his heat. When Caleb sees Xan’s interest in Urho he encourages it, and fears that Xan will wind up dead if left to fill his needs with dangerous dominant alpha’s who only enjoy his pain.

The trio come together through care of friends, exile to a house out of town, and make a pact to help Caleb through his heat when the time comes.

When the story reaches its crescendo and all hell breaks loose, I wasn’t sure if my favorite character Urho could pull it off, it was intense, nail biting and exciting! You’ll know what I mean when you get there, it’s almost absurd how everything develops but there’s an HEA, don’t fret!

The sexual scenes are steamy for sure! The narrator does a good job adding passion to the worlds. I just wish I had read book one first. I recommend you read/listen in order. Looking forward to the next book!

When a bomb goes off and everything Samuel and Raoul hold dear is in danger, will Samuel be strong enough to stand by his mate’s side?

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the City Dragon’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.

Samuel is not only a dragon shifter but an omega dragon shifter. He has hidden it from his family but what he doesn’t know is his dragon has told the other dragons. There are many gifts one receives from the gods when they mate with a omega dragon shifter, but the omega gets the best gift of all. He can get pregnant, can you imagine Samuel’s expression once he finds out. He met his mate when his brother’s celebrated their adopted son’s birth, even gave him a ride on his back. However his mate has rejected him, or so he thinks.

Raoul is a very old and very powerful vampire elder. He didn’t reject his young mate just felt like he should give him some times, since he is very young. However it would seem that Samuel’s younger brothers have another idea, kidnapping. He also has danger inside his own coven that might place his young mate in danger, but piss off a dragon and your ass will get fried.

I have read many books by this author and am always surprised each time. The stories just seem to get better and better. Action packed, danger filled, excitement overload and some hot sexy times are just a bit of what you get in this, you also get attitude. It is never good to piss off someone that can blow flames from their mouth. My attention was captivated from the start and I am going to go read this book again. I can guarantee that it will be read many times over, just can’t seem to get enough of them.

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

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Nickolas wanted what his grandfathers had, a marriage that was filled with love and laughter. However he thought he would never get that and did what his parents wanted. He was engaged to an ass, or should I say an stuck up omega. Their kind married for money and Nickolas was about to do that. That is until he noticed a cute red head who just made him loose his mind. One night and well you can guess what happened. To bad he was engaged to another and the omega that wanted him just found out. He was going to get his ass kicked.

Jaimie just wanted to do his job but so far knocking over the coffee in a meeting is not a good sign. His trying to make up for it got him a hot night with an alpha that made him want for more. To bad his alpha is getting married. One shock isn’t enough, well how about finding out he is pregnant….with twins!

I will say that when I first started reading this story I was about to say hell no. The alpha was engaged and sleeping around, that is not a story I want to read. They might not have a love relationship, but no cheating what so ever. However I decided to stick it out, cause lets face it Jaimie is a doll. He was a kick ass little omega who is not going to put up with any of his alpha’s shit. I got a kick out of him. However the alpha ended up being a good guy and I had a blast reading their story.

The story was engaging, enticing and quite fun to read. The characters were like any other alpha and omega pair but their story was unique in a way. Now I will admit that I am not a fan of alpha and omega’s that don’t shift, but it was still a pretty good story. That being said the story itself might be unique but it is also used quite a bit, so no big surprises there. What is unique was the way they were together and their actions were a bit more fresh then most. I can’t guarantee that this is one of those stories that will be read more than once, but it is still early on in the series. This author was new to me so I wasn’t to sure what to expect but was surprised in the end.

I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the next story. I will be checking out this authors other work to see what there is out there.

This is part of an on-going series and reading the previous titles is advised. Readers of the past books will enjoy meeting old friends once more as the pack does what it does best ̶ caring for each other.

Slate, one of the last Dire Wolves, has carved out a life which suits him fine—plenty of traveling to exotic locations and an abundance of one night stands to handle his needs. While he’s happy for his brother, who has found his Fated Mate, Slate isn’t interested in finding his—at least not for a long time. That is, until his body betrays him. Seeking his mother’s help—who is an Oracle—Slate pays a visit to the Blackwood Pack where he finds the Fates have once again, messed with his life.

Dakota, the chef for the Blackwood Pack, fell in love with cooking as a young child and ultimately the kitchen became a place of refuge for him. Suffering with a ‘curse’ through much of his childhood, he relied heavily on his mother’s help to deal with it. After the massacre of his mother and siblings by their greedy uncle, Dakota barely survives, but finally forges a life for himself, content to stay home and take care of the people he loves.

A long-hidden secret, rejection of a mate, acceptance of rare gifts, and a brutal kidnapping are just some of the obstacles Dakota and Slate must battle together to save their relationship. As the pack rallies around them, both must learn to trust the other before they can find the happiness that the Fates have ordained for them…

Slate finds that fate is once again interfering in his life as he is sent toward his mate. Dakota, a chef of the Blackwood pack, has a lifetime of worry tagging along for the ride as he carves out a new life for himself after surviving the massacre by his uncle.

I loved these two characters. They fought, they loved, they conquered. Such an amazing ride to witness as these two struggle to make it through what life has thrown their way to achieve happiness with the other.

I have enjoyed the entire series so far. Adventurous, mysterious, and romance plus a slew of other genres thrown into the mix to make for an interesting series.

Great read.

Lisa’s Review: 💖💖💖💖 3.5 Hearts

Slate loves to travel and help other packs. He is one of the last dire wolves and has a destiny to finish in a way. He wants his mate and knows that one of the gifts given to him is for his mate to become pregnant. However he doesn’t want one right off the bat or so he thinks. When he finds his mate on a visit home. The gods give many gifts and he is about to be surprised.

Dakota is an empath and the worst is the fear and pain of others. His gift is more of a curse to him. His father is one of the evils of the world and he felt it all. The hate that he had for his family and the fact that he just loved to cause pain in his sons. When he figures out who his mate is, he panics. He knows Slate doesn’t want one but he can’t stay hidden forever.

I had a few issues with the story that made me want to just give up on the story. The jump from one character to the next drove me nuts and the fact that the author reiterated certain parts over and over was a bit overdone. There were certain words used for pecs and sex that made me think a teen was writing the story. The word tits for pecs made the stupid come out. It made me think the author was wishing for females then the guys in the story. There was just more information in the story than was needed and it made me want to put the book down. It made the story feel like the author just threw it in to make the book longer and it didn’t do it any justice. You could have the danger that showed up in there without the need to float back and forth in the story. It took away from the characters in the end. I was glad that the guys got their happy ending but the way the story was told made me want to pitch the whole series.

The world that the author created was amazing but the way the story was told not so much. Information overload is what I think of. I will admit that this story is not one of those that will be read more than once and that was a let down. The story would have been a five if it had not had to much added in to make word count. I am sorry but for right now this story is not what it should have been or where it should have been at.

Heat For Sale

(Heat for Sale 01)

Blake Moreno

Heat can be sold but love is earned.

In a world where omegas sell their heats for profit, Adrien is a university student in need of funding. With no family to fall back on, he reluctantly allows the university’s matcher to offer his virgin heat for auction online. Anxious, but aware this is the reality of life for all omegas, Adrien hopes whoever wins his heat will be kind.

Heath—a wealthy, older alpha—is rocked by the young man’s resemblance to his dead lover, Nathan. When Heath discovers Adrien is Nathan’s lost son from his first heat years before they met, he becomes obsessed with the idea of reclaiming a piece of Nathan.

Heath buys Adrien’s heat with only one motivation: to impregnate Adrien, claim the child, and move on. But their undeniable passion shocks him. Adrien doesn’t know what to make of the handsome, mysterious stranger he’s pledged his body to, but he’s soon swept away in the heat of the moment and surrenders to Heath entirely.

Once Adrien is pregnant, Heath secrets him away to his immense and secluded home. As the birth draws near, Heath grows to love Adrien for the man he is, not just for his connection to Nathan. Unaware of Heath’s past with his omega parent and coming to depend on him heart and soul, Adrien begins to fall as well.

But as their love blossoms, Nathan’s shadow looms. Can Heath keep his new love and the child they’ve made together once Adrien discovers his secrets?

Heat for Sale is a stand-alone m/m erotic romance by Leta Blake, writing as Blake Moreno. Infused with a du Maurier Rebecca-style secret, it features a well-realized omegaverse, an age-gap, dominance and submission, heats, knotting, and scorching hot scenes.

Title: Back To You

Series: Directions 03

Author: Jena Wade

Genre: Paranormal, Fantasy

Length: Novella (120 pages)

Publisher: Jena Wade (July 25, 2018)

Heat Level: Low

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 3.5 Hearts

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.

ISBN: B07FXNV5MS

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

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.

ISBN: B07DZB2PXK

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

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.

ISBN: B07DBL3W83

Product Link: Amazon US | Amazon UK

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.

Enchained: The Omega and the Fighter by Claire Cullen

Title: Enchained: The Omega and the Fighter

Series: Briar Wood Pack 02

Author: Claire Cullen

Genre: Paranormal, Fantasy, MPreg

Length: Novel (205 Pages)

Publisher: Claire Cullen (July 12, 2018)

Heat Level: Low

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 3.5 Hearts

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.

ISBN: B07FL24FNW

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.

Alien Alpha’s Sweet Omega by Leo Thorne

Title: Alien Alpha’s Sweet Omega

Series: Zatan Warriors 02

Author: Leo Thorne

Genre: Science Fiction, MPreg

Length: Novel (196pgs)

Publisher: Leo Thorne (June 6, 2018)

Heat Level: Low

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 3.5 Hearts

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

Title: The Last Emperor

Author: 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.
