Blurb: Daryl plays with fire and gets burned by fate…

Former Primrose Pack member Jason Black happily accepted his role as beta in the new Regent’s Hill pack, knowing that merging the two was the best decision for everyone involved. Daryl Easton is loyal and honest but wary of change. The joining of the two packs wasn’t his preferred outcome, and he’s struggling to see all the newcomers as pack, including those now working alongside him.

When the alpha council proposes a two-week pack-building course to help improve troubled relationships, Jason and Daryl are sent along as backup. It soon becomes clear that the unit members and their betas won’t be the only ones taking part in tasks—Daryl and Jason will have challenges of their own to complete.

With the full moon adding to the rising tension, emotions are volatile, and tempers flare among the unit members. Jason and Daryl become closer than either of them expected, but with such opposing views on relationships, a messy outcome seems inevitable unless Daryl can let go of the past.

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

Their pack has been through much heartache but it is trying to go forward. That is if they could get them all to just get along. So with the help of the council it looks like they are going to try bonding through many tasks. Daryl and Jason are both beta’s but there is just a hint of attraction between them both. Things heat up.

However Daryl never wants a relationship and a mate bound is out of the plan right off the bat. However it would seem their hearts are not in agreement and Daryl really needs to communicate better. However there is always at least one person that has issues with the pact bonding, but you must read to find out.

Heat level between these two are smoking hot and they are just about to get burned with it. The attraction is so right there in your face but damn if the boys don’t need a good smack upside the head, especially Daryl. As for the story itself well I did notice some grammar or spelling issues with it but it didn’t take away from the story as one would expect. It has some danger, excitement, adventure, kick ass moves and some hot sexy times in this story, plus a bit more.

I found that in the beginning I wasn’t as caught up in it as I should have been but once it starts moving a bit more I truly enjoyed reading it. I liked the guys but I must say that Jason will be my favorite in this story. I can’t say that this is one of my favorite but it is high up there especially the humor that I found in it.

I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to see what happens in the next story.

Wolf shifter Nathan Kohl’s pack is his whole life. Arrogant and handsome, he avoids commitment to anything or anyone outside of his pack. He works hard, plays hard, and pursues humans as lovers because there’s little to no chance of him forming a permanent bond. However, when Jared Taylor comes into Nathan’s life, every rule is broken.

After a bad experience, Jared vowed to never get involved with another shifter, no matter how much they got under his skin. Despite being physically attracted to Nathan, who’s all kinds of hot, Jared only sees an arrogant, domineering bastard.

A disastrous case of mistaken identity throws Nathan and Jared together until the next full moon. Forced to spend the next twenty-eight days in close proximity, they can no longer ignore the powerful attraction between them. Passion ignites, and their relationship takes a turn neither of them wanted. 

But when the full moon comes, everything might change again.

Review: This author was new to me so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I really wasn’t sure when I saw the cover, talk about a bit creepy. The blurb made the story sound quite different, if not a bit dark. However I was pleasantly surprised to find out just how different this book is from many others. It is not the instant attraction, fall in love, and mating that one normally finds. They don’t scent each other as their mates; in fact I almost believe they have no clue about mates at all. 

This story caught my attention from the start, although I must admit that it had not kept my attention throughout though. As I said before it has this dark tone to it but not so much to distract me. I haven’t really been one for stories like this but I loved the way it just seemed to come together. The characters were delightful but different. I didn’t really connect with them like I should have, but it didn’t take away from the story itself.

Nathan is an arrogant shifter who never really wanted to bond with anyone. He was not really interested in dating either, sex was fine but something more was a definite no. He did however show some interest in the human at the club though. He just had not expected what to happen, to happen. On the night he came across Jared, he got turned down. Getting called away might have been the best, if it didn’t mean their shipment was attacked. 

Jared was as human as can be, and he had a definite hate towards shifters. After one disaster of a relationship, he really did not want anything to do with them. That ended the night Nathan bit him. There was a law, to bite a human meant major punishment, banishment or even death. He didn’t want that on his head, but it would mean close contact for a short period of time. Passion, fire and attraction ignites during their time together. 

I loved the way they interacted with each other, and how their bond strengthened. I liked how Nathan was with Jared; even throughout his attitude Nathan was still pretty sweet to him. I also loved how Jared would react when Nathan had to go somewhere without him. Although there were some parts that were a bit off, as with the fact that a human could not be in the packs home, yet later on it was ok. It just seemed strange to change it. These two have loads of sexual tension flowing around, and when they are together damn can it get hot.

This story just seemed to rock for me. I was surprised to find out that this was not a series because I can see a few characters that just might be perfect for the next story.

I had a lot of fun reading this and cannot wait to see what other stories this author has out.

Review: I have only read a couple of books by this author, and let me say that she was quite a surprise. I had not taken the chance to read the blurb of this book, so when I first started reading it, I had thought it was a m/f paranormal romance. So you can imagine my happy dance, when I turned around and grabbed the blurb for the book. I will admit that I am not a fan of the main character having previously being mated to a female. For me it just comes off a bit weird to see him go from a female to a male mate. After I realized that Rachel was in love with Sara, I actually started to like her quite a bit. She was feisty that is for sure.

Cam is the alpha wolf who had at one time been mated to a human female. His wife had been killed sometime ago, but pain like that never fades away like one would expect. He had also hidden a part of himself that he had forgotten. So you can imagine himself when he realizes a possible bonding moment with his beta, Gareth. He needs a good kick in the pants.

Gareth has been in love with his alpha for many years, but hid that part from everyone. When Cam’s wife died, he knew that Cam would forever love her and not with anyone else. That is until one sweet full moon. Now all they had to do is to fix the rest of their problems.

This story was pretty cool, but very lengthy. It just seemed that a lot of details that could have been left out to make it a good read. It didn’t keep my attention like it should have. I normally get into a book and can’t put it down, but this one did the opposite. Now like I said, I did like Rachel, but it felt like more of the book was focused on her then on our budding romance. It took away from the story itself. Also his late wife’s name was mentioned way to much to even think that it was possible for our guys to get together.

When I read a romance, I want to focus on them and the possible dangers around them. Not on other people and their desires or thoughts. Also I can’t believe Cam went from hot to cold with his lust for Gareth. It came off to fast and not really build up to it. The chemistry between the two was sweet and hot, but was not off the charts like it should have either. I will admit that while it is a very good book it is not one of those types I would read more than once. Now if the book was more about our guys then that would have probably been a bit different.

Blurb: Two lovers from rival packs. Have they come together only to be forced apart?

Alec Knight, a beta in the Regent’s Park pack, guards his heart carefully. Ghosts from his past keep him alone and angry, any hope of a relationship impossible while guilt from the pack wars still haunts him. With the anniversary drawing near, Alec needs a distraction.

As a lowly member of the Primrose Hill pack, Mark Appleton isn’t used to having his alpha’s attention. Lately he’s had more than his fair share, and not for the right reasons. Despite growing suspicions that all is not well, Mark tries hard to do better, but constant criticism leaves him desperate for a stress outlet.

Sex is a good way for shifters to let off steam, and while their packs attack each other with accusations and lies, Alec and Mark work out their frustrations in bed. Pillow talk and shared secrets lead to a closeness neither was expecting, but when pack relations reach an all-time low, any future for them seems out of the question.

If they want to be together, they’ll have to go against their alphas’ wishes—except Alec won’t and Mark can’t.

Review: Each book in the Regent’s Park 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.

Ten years ago fresh and new to a team that was dealing with the wars, left him alone when his team was killed. The son of two of his team blamed him and came close to calling him a coward. This led him to keep his heart and soul safe from future pain. However ghosts from the past were arising as the anniversary was coming up. Letting off a bit of steam leads him to another, one from a different pack. A pack that they were fighting against.

Mark was betrayed by his alpha and beta. However being young he just wants to do right with his pack. It also leads him into more dealings with the alpha and beta, one that could cost him. A night of fun with another, leads him down a dangerous slope.

Now with this, you have two members from different packs getting closer together. You can see the heat and desire both these men have for the other. My problem is Alec is older and a bit jaded from the past. Leaving his scent on Mark makes Mark a target for his beta. Alec puts Mark in a dangerous position and is kind of callus at times. Mark also comes off a bit of an innocent throughout the story. Watching these two overcome certain obstacles was intriguing to say the least. The sex was hot and damn tempting.

I will admit the cover doesn’t really leave me wanting the book. It shows a darkness that the story does show, but doesn’t make me want to purchase the story. It is a fast-paced story that gives you excitement, danger, a bit of fun and some damn hot sexy times. The stories from this series are very catchy and fun to read. My problem was they are not really the memoriable. They didn’t stand out from so many others. The story also didn’t seem to flow with ease as it should have. Although it didn’t stop me from enjoying the characters. You could feel the passion from Mark but Alec didn’t really leave to much of an impression with me other than anger, a bit of pain and callousness. It takes a bit of time into the story to change a persons mind though.

I enjoyed reading it and look forward to reading the next story. I would definitely recommend this book.

When news emerges that threatens Seb’s safety, he and Tim need to fake a relationship to keep Seb safe.

Review: Each book in the Regent’s Park 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.

Seb’s best friend had a rough experience at the hands of a shifter, and Seb’s loyalty was with Jared. He didn’t hate shifters like his friend, but he didn’t want to bond with one. When Jared had been bitten and bonded, it changed him, which in turn freaked Seb out just a bit. The difference in his attitude was a bit off. However it didn’t mean he didn’t want to play around a bit, but the risk of getting bonded, no way. That is until the pack doctor.

Tim wanted Seb with all his might, but he knew the human didn’t want him the same way. When trouble came from rogue shifters and the P-Pack, he would do anything he could to keep the man safe, even if it meant he had to pretend. The fake relationship soon forged into something more for them both, but Tim risked loosing his heart. Things are bound to get complicated.

You can see the heat and desire both these men have for the other. I can also see where Seb might think he would loose part of himself if he bonded with a shifter, but I can also see Tim’s mind set at the same time. Watching these two overcome certain obstacles was intriguing to say the least. The sex was hot and damn tempting. These two just seem to be made for each other.

When going for a good book I am one that usually doesn’t go for authors I don’t know or certain aspects of a story. I will admit the cover doesn’t really give me a good impression of what type of story this truly is. It is a fast-paced story that gives you excitement, danger, a bit of fun and some damn hot sexy times. I hate to admit that I didn’t even remember the first book in this series, so that was a bit of a problem for me, as it felt like I was going in half blind. However it is a story that is easily figured out and will catch you from the start.

I enjoyed reading it and look forward to reading the next story. I look forward to hearing more about a sexy shifter from the wrong pack. I would definitely recommend this book.
