Blurb: The year is 2327. Earth, once strong, is now trying to recover from the devastation of the Great War. During the battle, millions of lives were lost and cities were destroyed. Needing to rebuild, the government turned to other planets. One day, a starship arrived from the planet of Glecerus. The aliens traded technology and medicine for willing humans to become mates to their people.

Sebastian Cain is struggling to survive. His only option for a better life is to leave Earth. He volunteers to go to Glecerus. He’s looking for a fresh start and the only family he has left, an older brother. But life on Glecerus takes some getting used to, and Sebastian must learn the customs before becoming a mate to a Glecerian male.

High King Auden Q’Tal and Captain Regin Priq’aq are both interested in becoming Sebastian’s mate. Instead of bidding on the human at auction, the aliens battle it out, and the winner gets to mark and claim Sebastian.

Review: Volunteering to leave earth for a better life and to see his brother again Sebastian is in good spirits until he realizes that he does not have a clue about things that were explained in the manual he was given to read but never need. Luckly he makes a new friend named Georgie who knows everything in the manual. Along with a few other volunteers Sebastian navigates the rules carefully while attempting to calm himself. When he meets captain Regin Priq’aq aboard the ship that carries them to Glecerus he feels something for the alien upon first sight and the captain feels the same and has every intention of bidding on the young man.

It comes out that Sebastian’s brother is mated to one of the alien prince’s and so that makes Sebastian royalty as well and is taken off the auction progress. In Sebastian’s case a different set of rules apply as two males, the captain and the ruler of Glecerus, Auden, both want Sebastian.

I really enjoyed this first book as it details as much as possible without overdoing the information on the different aliens, planets and rules that are in place for the humans as well as the details surrounding the characters. I found myself immersed in a world that intrigued me to no end.

I loved the entire book. Fantastic read.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Jeremy is a FPA agent and a shifter, he remembers when he found Roman and the shape he was in. Roman had been raped, beaten, and starved. The moment his friend brought him out, Jeremy knew that he had found his mate. He was just afraid to claim the man due to what had happened. He didn’t want to scare or hurt his little mate. However his lizard knew that the man was his mate, and wasn’t letting him out of his sight.

Roman remembered the time of his capture, but that did not mean he was going to let it define him. He wanted his mate to claim him, and if becoming an agent would help to prove he was strong then so be it.

The story is well rounded and fully developed. The characters are charming, fierce and damn sexy. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I got a big kick out of Jeremy’s animal side, what a cutie, for a very big lizard. This is probably one of my favorite types of series, full of action and excitement, some hot sex and add in the danger and damn if I am not eating it up.

I had a blast reading this and can not wait to get my hands on the next book. I would definitely recommend this.

Reviewer: Lisa

Park was just trying to protect his brother and himself. He was the creator of something dangerous and now they wanted him dead. He was being asked for information but somehow well you can guess. Johnny saved his life by changing him into a vampire but it created a tight bond. To bad he is mated to Axel, but he just couldn’t let Johnny go either.

Axel is a powerful lion shifter and Park’s mate. He had no clue what he was supposed to do, but hey a ménage might just be fun. Now if his lion will go for the idea and Johnny.

I wasn’t really sure about this one. I hate to admit that it didn’t keep my attention like the others. The characters were cool and fun, but lion shifters don’t share their mate as easy as this book makes it come out to be. I loved the characters but the story not so much. It was just kind of weird and off.

I hope the author doesn’t follow this pattern with the rest of the books. Other than my issues with it, it is well written and pretty hot. It is a good story and has an amazing plot going on. I just didn’t like the feel that they were cheating in the beginning. I hate to admit that I don’t really see myself reading this more than once.

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

I came across this author some time ago and absolutely fell in love with the worlds she creates. When I saw the name of the series for this particular story line, I knew it was what I wanted to read and probably needed. There is always sexy characters, interesting story, excitement, adventure and danger in these books. This story however was a bit different.

David was born Tae and his life was taken from him by a vicious killer. He came home to find his parents dead and then he was injured when he ran. A six month coma left him with out his memories but time will tell. Living with his guardian, he has spent a majority of his time researching serial killers, which keeps his mind on the past. Years have gone past and his past is coming back. He needs to know the truth, who killed his parents and why. He might just regret asking those questions.

Now he is recruited by the FPA and is sent in to find the killer. What he finds is not what he wanted. Eric is a medical examiner as well as a vampire. He has kept watch out for David, but there are some pretty wicked twists to this story that will change things.

Now for me the story is a bit rocky and doesn’t flow like it should have. Also the ending was way wrong, I am sorry but a killer is never reformed. To hold such a secret and for the amount of people involved would be impossible. The means to an end or in this case vigilante killings are just as twisted as those they go after.

I felt let down with this book, and sure do hope the rest don’t follow the same line.

Review: Each book in the Federal Paranormal Agency collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This is actually Branched off from her Silver Bullet series so I would suggest starting with that series first.

Max lost his mate some time ago in the war, from that point on he lost himself into the bodies of others. It didn’t however bring him pleasure but made him miss his mate. Then he was sent to find out what truly happened to a member of the ICIU. He had not expected to find another mate.

Tommy was a detective for Northern Ireland before being recruited to the ICIU. They are paired up in more than one way. Neither might be ready for the answers of what happened but damn their mating might just rock. If you want to know what really happened, read the book.

I had a blast reading this story however it just felt a bit off. Not enough to make me not like the story but it just felt a bit rushed. Other than that issue, this story is perfect for when you are trying to take a break or when you just need the sun to shine for you. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book.

There is something about the way that Olivia Black tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time but it will have you in tears at some part. Olivia has always been one of my favorite authors. There is just something about her characters, story and the way they mix with each other. With these stories it gives you a mate that has at some point been hurt. The alpha of the pair feels so much for his mate, he will do everything to protect his mate and keep him safe.

Winston’s mother had been killed in a car accident when he was a child, and he didn’t really get over it. He loved his father and knew his father loved him, but they were always at odds. To be rebellious he became a doctor then went into foreign countries to save those who had no help. He became a doctor with Doctors without Borders.

In Somalia the dangers were very real. Doctors were killed or kidnapped, patients shot, threats against all yet Winston stayed to help. Then the dangers were at him. Kidnapped, beaten, forced to work on soldiers he felt without hope. He was close to dying, when the sweetest angel came for him. It seems he was the mate of a FPA agent.

Ian had taken one look at Winston’s photo and knew there was something pulling at him. It wasn’t until he found him that he knew this gorgeous man was his mate. His mate was close to death, but once he found him he knew he would do everything to show him that he was safe.

There is something about this book that just draws you in and keeps you captivated. I loved the way the characters acted towards each other. I think that so far out of all the books these two are my favorite.

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

Reed Dolur is a private man. As a white tiger shifter and an agent with the FPA, Reed likes to keep his personal life separate from his professional persona. When he’s off the clock, Reed spends time at Leather Men, a local BDSM club. One night Reed goes out looking for a rough scene and meets a mysterious man. After an intense scene, Reed wakes up alone, his body carrying the marks of his Dom and the scent of his mate hanging in the air.

Graham Bingham was a FPA agent, living and working in Los Angeles, California. When dead men start turning up around the city, Graham soon realizes that he’s tied to each of the victims. Their bodies bear his marks, but he’s not responsible. Someone is mimicking him, killing innocent men, and pointing the evidence in his direction. To keep the other agents on his team safe, Graham leaves his badge and life behind. When he meets his mate, Graham runs in the opposite direction.

He doesn’t think he’ll be able to protect Reed, not with a killer stalking him.

There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved.

Olivia has always been one of my favorite authors. There is just something about her characters, story and the way they mix with each other. With these stories it gives you a mate that has at some point been hurt. The alpha of the pair feels so much for his mate, he will do everything to protect his mate and keep him safe.

The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives. I had a blast reading this story. This story is perfect for when you are trying to take a break. There is a bit of a serious tone to them but there is a lot of humor in them that I love. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book.

As you know by reading this, the agency has this motto that they live by. They deliver justice to those that break the laws and save the innocents. The problem is when an innocent thinks that one of the guys is the killer and sets to seek his justice. Graham was an amazing agent and loved what he did. He is also a big time Dominate and for a lion I would think he was anyway. He has a great big heart and cares for those around him. So when some of the guys he had been with were killed and marked the way he had marked them, he knew he had to catch the guy. He left the agency and set out to find him.

What he finds instead is his mate.

Reed is a tiger shifter who one would think is a Dominate but he is a sub. He loves pain, especially when he can feel it for days later. Which for a shifter is not how it is done, they usually heal pretty dang fast. He takes one look at Graham and realizes he has found the Dom he needed. Then he finds out that the sexy man is his mate and that he is in danger. Someone has it out for him in a big way.

It is up to them all to find out who is behind the killings and to keep their men safe. Now with this story I felt bad for the killer. I won’t say why because you need to find out on your own. It is a great story with a little bit of surprise in it. Usually I get caught up in a story but this one just pulls at me more than normal. Which for a paranormal is kind of strange. There is this hint of darkness in it that had me guessing, but it didn’t last too long. I had a blast with this book.

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

Ranger had screwed up with his old pack by falling in love with another’s mate. He had at one time even wanted to keep the little guy with him and not take him back. However he knew it was not fair to Maddox, Scout and himself. So he had left the pack and joined the FPA. When he got there, yes he was still in love with Maddox but he was attracted to the boss.

Too bad Abram wasn’t interested in him. Every time he asked for a case, he was turned down until now. It was just his luck to end up in hell. Then he found out what Abram had been hiding. The damn man was his mate.

Abram had known about Rangers past, and he should not have let his feelings go by what he learned. So he hidden his scent and not told Ranger that they were mates. Then Ranger is abducted and then almost killed. It was time to tell his mate and try to fix the mistake he has made. That and probably get his ass kicked for hiding an important part. But then again make up sex is downright hot.

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

Shorty’s Review: Abram, a grizzly shifter and head of the FPA, sends his mate, Ranger, a wolf shifter, on a mission to find out about missing shifters. Things turn extremely dangerous when Ranger infiltrate the fighting ring to uncover who is behind it.

Heartbreaking scenes of shifters being drugged to the point where their animal side takes over and they are filled with rage then thrown in a ring to fight one another in animal form.

I was highly disappointed that instead of letting Ranger know he was Abram’s mate, he hide his scent from him so he wouldn’t know. While I understood the reasoning to a point, he still should have trusted him.

Intense scenes, adventure packed book, very well written book made for a fantastic read.

Highly recommended.

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

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

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

Reviewer: Leigh

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blurb: By the King’s Command… Daimyo Akihiro Shimada didn’t have the hatred for humans that many of his kind did. It was a known fact that humans were weak. Every dragon knew that. When the king commands him to take a human as a mate, Akihiro is instantly smitten with Isei but fully aware that he must treat his mate with gentle care, even if his gut instincts say otherwise.

Isei Hironaka is a second son. He has no chance of ever being anything more than he is until he is forced to impersonate his brother at the King’s coronation ceremony. When the new king orders him to mate with a dragon, Isei is positive his ruse will be discovered. Mating to strengthen the bond between clan and clutch is one thing.

Staying mated is an all together different story, especially when those around Akihiro and Isei believe dragons and humans have no business falling in love and they will do everything within their power to keep them apart.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I loved this book. However, I was seriously pissed at Akihiro for the way he treated his mate as if he was a simple-minded human that needed to out in a room away from harm and not allowed out. He shouldn’t have listened to others trying to tell him what was best for his mate he should have known himself. I was glad he finally came to senses before he lost Isei for good.

I felt so sorry for Isei and how he was treated by different people in his new home. He should have told his mate about the different ideas he had instead of thinking he wasn’t good enough to speak his mind. Loved all the details throughout.

Intense and heart wrenching this story grabs hold from the beginning and doesn’t let go until the very end. The battle scenes were short and fierce. Very glad things worked out well in the end. Fantastic read.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: After ten years of separation and thinking his lover was dead Jim, a human, sees Anthony, a wolf shifter, at the Silver Bullet, and runs. Anthony and Jim’s reunion when Jim was finally able to listen was sweet and tender. Anthony finally explains about the imprisonment and torture he suffered at his father’s and enforcers cruel hands. Anthony is afraid for his son and Jim as he knows his father won’t stop until he has what he wants.

Such an extremely well written book with details that leave you shocked that a father could do that to his own son. I actually despised his father for what he put Anthony through. But was glad that Anthony and his son got away to reunite with his mate and found safety with Gideon’s pack.

The fight scene was intense. I found myself holding my breath waiting for the outcome. So many well described descriptions that I felt that I was there witnessing everything that was taking place.

A fantastic read and addition to the Silver Bullet Series.

Highly recommended.

Review: Handsome Montana York is shocked when he can’t scent the sexy man who walked into Silver Bullet. He is drawn to him like a moth to a flame and is shocked when the man mates him. Montana is pissed that the man claims he’s his mate and doesn’t believe him.

Conner McMillian, a sexy tiger shifter only went to New Orleans to find his older brother Sam. He was his father’s drug suppressant testing guinea pig along with his brothers Kevin and Liam. The side effects of the drug have done internal damage to all three as well as permanently suppress their scents. When he smells his mate, he loses control and claims him. Now he has to convince his mate that are indeed mates, even though his hot wolf shifter can’t smell him.

Great story. It was disturbing what Conner, Liam, and Kevin’s father did to his own flesh and blood. Conner had a hard road ahead of him trying to convince Montana they were mates. Glad with Sam’s help that the problem was finally resolved.

Hot and sexy sex scenes.

Blurb: Steve and Brent Perez are married shifters. In the world of paranormals some might think that’s odd, considering both men are wolves, but it’s the norm for these two. From a very early age, they knew they were meant to be together, despite what their homophobic pack might believe. When the anguish of hiding their mating from friends and family becomes too much, they leave home, traveling around the world, performing on stage. While dancing at the Silver Bullet, they are stunned to realize that their mating isn’t complete.

When two gorgeous go-go dancers start checking Jayson North out, he’s not sure what to think. Used to being flirted with in his position as a bartender, Jayson tries to keep his distance. Not an easy feat when the two performers draw him like a magnet. When he learns that they’re mates, Jayson is confused. Since working at the shifter-owned bar, he’s learned one major rule—mates are sacred.

So why are these two wolves checking him out? But someone else thinks that Steve and Brent belongs to him and he’s more than willing to get rid of Jayson to keep the two shifters to himself. Mating Jayson is the easy part. Keeping him alive may take more strength than two shifters have.

Note: This book contains double anal penetration.

Reviewer: Shorty
Review: Fantastic story with drama, action, suspense, danger, and love. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Jayson, a human, Brent and Steve, wolf shifters who are mates and are married. I didn’t care for how jealous the fox shifter was of Jayson or the lengths he went to because he wanted Steve and Brent for himself. It just shows no matter how well you think you know someone, you really don’t know them at all.

I felt sorry for Steve and Brent’s friends Casey, Zach and Blake for believing what Tayte told them and helping him lure Jayson away. I was glad though that with Jayson’s help they all were forgiven except for Tayte.

Awesome story. Sexy and passionate sex scenes between Jayson, Brent, and Steve added spice to an intense book.

Review: Lawson Dawson is a sexy wolf shifter who is shocked that his mate is a human. He doesn’t want a human for a mate after what happened to his brother. So he fights the mating instincts until his wolf takes control from him.

Matthew Mckenzie is a handsome young man who is Sloan’s older brother. When he first sees Lawson, he starts feeling things he doesn’t understand. After Lawson bites him while in his wolf form, he is totally shocked at what happens to him.

This story has a surprise in it I never saw coming, but was delighted to read about. I loved the way Lawson’s wolf couldn’t fight his instincts despite what Lawson thought or wanted. The details of Matthew’s change were beautiful. Hot passionate intimate scenes between Matthew and Lawson.
