After stopping in Tennessee to meet up with teammates Ron Perry and Jake Wilson, they head for Atlanta, to rendezvous with the remaining member of their team, Todd Jackson. Kowalski told Logan he murdered Jackson, but Logan knows all too well how hard it is to kill any of them now. He’s hopeful that Jackson survived and is waiting to meet them. Once they arrive in the city, they find Jackson easily enough. They soon discover, however, that he’s involved in a strange and savage situation, a member of a vicious fight club in the basement of an Atlanta club. When he tells Logan he’s in trouble and can’t extricate himself, Logan finds an oppressive atmosphere of evil in the club, seeming to center around the club’s owner, a charismatic man named Austell.

They face a new and savage threat to their safety, and receive intervention from Heaven itself? Or could it be Hell?

Review: Luke and Logan had been prisoners together along with other members of their team. They had escaped with many different gifts. Gifts that might just turn into curses. After killing Kowalski, Logan knew their team needed to get the hell from where they were hiding. Then one of them got a vision that lead them straight into hell it would seem. However they had to get Jackson back.

I don’t remember reading book one but noticed I had given it a high rating. After reading this though, I am not too sure I actually want to finish the series. It has a very dark tone to it and almost no humor whatsoever. Logan and Luke fought more times then I can count, plus Logan’s fear of Luke leaving him left me not able to connect at all. There were so many twists and turns to this story that it should have gone in one direction but for me it went in the other. I couldn’t connect with the characters and the story was just too dark to even like.

However it is well written except for the jumping around part. I hate to admit that this story was a downfall for me. I couldn’t get into it and pretty much hated the characters. Even though it sounded like I didn’t like Logan, he was the one I actually did like. As for the story it never really delved into the questions I had.

I am sorry to say but this story was not for me.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Derrick and his best friend decide to spend their time after finishing training, getting drunk. To bad their memories are a bit foggy. Derrick is the prince to his world, and is now facing a young man who is pregnant. A man who is a pirate, a pirate that has some big secrets. The trouble is the King states that Derrick must marry Egan, a man he does not remember. The problem was, Derrick was not the one who got him pregnant. Kylar needs to come home soon.

I am afraid that this series is one of those that I couldn’t remember very well. Which is not a good sign for me. The constant going back and forth is troublesome and drove me nuts. The characters are charming but also spunky as hell. I don’t much care for Rhaegar. I think he has more secrets to tell, but he comes off as an ass. The king however needs to be kicked in the butt. He was an ass to his son and didn’t do the book any good. There is adventure, danger, murder, hot sex and well you will just have to read the story for more.

I hate to admit that this series was not one of my favorites. The story is entertaining and I did enjoy it, but the story just doesn’t flow right. It came off as choppy and not well articulated, but that doesn’t say the story is not good. It has some great potential, but so far it just needs a bit more work to it. I will see how the next book turns out to make up my mind though.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Jace got out of a bad relationship with Dylan and went home to stay with his family. His mother was depressed and his little brother had some problems that had to be taken care of with special care. However Dylan follow’s him and things just take a twisted turn. When Dylan goes missing Jace is the one they suspect. That is except for one of the Detectives.

The story was fast paced but left me with more questions then answers. Will, the detective likes Jace and things heat up. Only problem the detective is kind of flaky, then at the end it just moves forward to fast. This story does have you trying to figure out the mystery of what happened to Dylan, but it wasn’t really that hard to figure out. I can tell you that this author put a lot of work in learning about domestic abuse, it showed in the story. That was a nice surprise.

I liked Jace quite a bit and the poor guy just didn’t get a good chance at all. However Will is a pompous jerk and couldn’t stand him. Although I do understand he was the detective and Jace was the suspect and what would happen if it came out, but really the guy still pushed it sometimes. I wasn’t as caught up in this story as I should have been and that was disappointing.

It is a very good story but for me it felt like the author rushed the last part of the story. It was a nice surprise from some of her other stories, but I am afraid that I just didn’t much care for parts of it.

Blurb: The fallout from Derrick’s union with Rhaegar and Blake’s aid in his son’s elopement has been intense, to say the least. After a blistering brawl between Blake and Davos, Davos leaves Blake, because he isn’t ready to forgive him, and most shockingly of all, he says he isn’t sure he even wants to.

Blake is frightened and hurt by his actions, but terribly angry. He follows the king back to Tygeria, if only because Davos had the gall to take their two younger children with him when he left. His ship is slower than the king’s, though, and when he arrives back on Tygeria, he finds the king has left again, on a wild chase after his errant son and his pirate mate. Even worse, he makes a unilateral decision to send their son Larz to a faraway planet for military training, against Blake’s express wishes.

When Davos, Derrick and Larz all go suddenly missing, Blake attempts a rescue mission, but encounters a strange wormhole in space, and is flung through it to crash on an unknown planet called Tveir. Strangest of all the planet is populated by Tygerians and their handsome king. Injured and disoriented, Blake begins to feel as if he’s trapped in some crazy story. Except this isn’t any kind of story at all—this is Blake’s life, and the plot has just taken an unexpected, heartbreaking and totally infuriating twist.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Blake and Davos have one hell of a fight after Blake helped his son escape with Rhaegar. So much so that each man said something horrible, but Davos even more. Then he leaves Blake on one planet and heads home, but of course Blake is going to follow. Especially since Davos took their two youngest back with them. When Blake makes it back home, it is to only find out Davos went to find his son and son’s husband. Blake is pissed and going to get them all back. To bad the trip doesn’t go as plan, think alternate universe.

Too bad Davos and Rhaegar are not the same when they crash. Now it is going to take Blake and Derrick all they have and know to get them all back home. Might not be as easy as one thinks.

This story is a great idea but failed to deliver for me. It was hard to follow especially in the beginning. I knew right off the bat about alternate universe but to think that if they lived there, then the ones that come through the wormhole are basically emerged in to one. With very few memories of the lives they led before they ended in hell. I guess it should be called parallel universe, but still strange. The only reason Blake and Derrick remember all is because they never lived in the new world, so to speak.

I knew why Davos was the way he was, but it made the story drop quite a bit for me. He didn’t make it up when Blake finds out he is pregnant. However in the end he does make up for being an ass. However it was a bit too late for me to even truly like it. I was a bit disappointed in it. I can honestly say that this is not one of those memorable stories. I can also tell you that this is one of those books that I will probably never read again, which was not a good sign for me.

Over all the story is well told, fast paced but also mixed with a slower pace in some parts, danger filled and action packed. It is an entertaining story but was just to much stuff in it that made it dull for me.

Blurb: Levi was one of the most popular men on campus at his little college located in the north Georgia hills. In the three years since his small group of friends left the little mill village called Hell’s Creek to venture out into the ‘real’ world, he’s watched as each of them has grown more carefree and happy. They played football and Frisbee, went to their classes and partied hard on the weekends. And none of the other students ever guessed that a small group of shifters has invaded their human world. Life would have been sweet if not for one thing—the one boy on campus that Levi wants to impress hates his guts. Openly, intensely, and with great malice.

Christian has his reasons for not accepting Levi’s endless invitations, and they all have to do with a terminal illness he’s had since he was a child. When Christian goes camping one weekend with a friend, he’s hoping he can forget his troubles for a while and relax. It’s working fine, until a huge wolf and a black panther come roaring out of the forest and straight at him. Christian faints and when he wakes up, finds that Levi has taken him to his home in Hell’s Creek. The strange inhabitants of the town all believe they can turn into animals. And people are telling him over and over again that he can’t leave, because he’s seen too much. Worst of all, the more time he spends with the gorgeous Levi, the healthier he’s beginning to feel and the more he’s beginning to fall for him. Is there really something in the water like everyone tells him? Or is he just going as crazy as they all are?

Will the secret that Hell’s Creek has been hiding finally be revealed? Christian has to find a way out of town before it’s too late, and before he falls hopelessly and irrevocably in love.

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

Men and their evil creations have been shown once more. They created small towns, full of poison and kept their people prisoner. You try to leave and you die. If you are different the human religious nutcases kill you. Christian was told when he was younger that he was going to die from a blood disease. It was what let him go to college, to live what was left of his life the way he wanted. He wanted to drink his way out. That is until he see’s Levi. A man who was everything he was not.

Levi saw Christian and wanted him. Levi is a shifter whose town was trying to combat what had been done to him. He had not really believed in fated mates, but Christian was his. Now all he had to do is to show him. I just don’t think the way he did it was the way he intended.

Once I started reading this, book one came right back to me. It caught my attention from the start and kept if all the way to the end. I loved the characters but damn if they are not cranky or quirky. I enjoyed the fact that a wolf and a cat were mated. In fact it made me laugh a bit. It has a serious tone to it but it was even with the other feelings in it.

I had a lot of fun reading this and can guarantee that you will enjoy it. This is one story I would recommend.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: It has been a few years since I read one of Shannon West’s books but when I saw the cover to this book it caught my attention. Then I read the blurb and damn if I wasn’t wanting to read it. It has a very unique and fresh story going on. I am not too sure of whether or not I like the guys but they are tempting.

Logan was special forces until he got into a fight and a man was killed. He wasn’t the one that killed him, but since his ass was drunk and he had no friends there, well you can guess what went down. He had three months left to serve when a very special group came calling.

Luke was a little harder to get a handle of. He was also in this group of black ops with no military truly backing them. He was trying to make the group stronger, but he really wasn’t getting very far with him. Lets face it the guys are asshats.

Then their first op blows up in their faces, and your going to just have to read the book on this one. It is a very fascinating story that is on the edge of your seat exciting. The problem is there are a few things missing in the story. It would have been nice to see their first interaction when Logan is taken to meet everyone. It was a bit harder to get into Luke’s life, but he was actually easier to like.

Other than my problems with the story, it caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end.

I had a lot of fun reading this and can not wait to get my hands on the next book.

Blurb: When Julian Montague rolls into a small mill town on the back side of nowhere, he isn’t looking for any trouble. He’s broke and fallen on hard times—but his idea to run from a license check on a main highway has backfired. He went off road on his motorcycle and now he’s hopelessly lost and almost out of gas. Stopping at the only station in town, he’s confronted by bullies with a gun who insist he’s on the “wrong side of the line” and then proceed to attack him. Fighting them off, he heads for the dubious safety of the “other side” when he’s attacked by a wild animal and crashes, almost killing himself. Waking up tied to a bed, he’s startled to find his injuries are being tended by a large, handsome man named Leo who bosses him around, showers him with affection and insists on calling him kitty. Something is going on in this strange town called Hell’s Creek, involving the large paper mill and the strange inhabitants who live in separate territories and answer only to the Company. Julian needs to find out what it is before he finds himself the “mate” of another man—and the main problem with that is that he’s beginning to like the idea way too much.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: I came across this author a couple of years ago and found her stories intriguing. However I also remember that they didn’t stand out in my head like they should have. So when I was given this story, I was interested in seeing how the author’s work had grown.

When Julian was five years old his parents had been killed and he was raised in foster care. Now if you know about foster care they take care of certain needs but not a lot of love goes around. When he decides to take off, there are many obstacles for him to get through. He is flat broke and his bike doesn’t have the proper tags. So trying to get away from a road block leads him right into Hell’s Creek. It actually takes him right into Dogtown. What he doesn’t know or understand is that Dogtown is actually a town full of canine shifters whereas Cat’s town is for Felines. His life is about to be torn into and twisted.

Leo is the leader of the felines but life is not as calm as one would think. There is much fighting between the felines and canines. He was to mate with another, but to his surprise Julian is his true fated mate. The problem is the man has no clue what is going on, nor what he really is. Things are about to get interesting.

Now the story has great potential and the characters are strong enough to keep the fight going on. However for me, this story was more detail and descriptions, which is a drag. Leo might be the leader but in fact he doesn’t really seem like it. The reason for these two towns and the separation is because of some company. For me an alpha would not listen to the company but take care of his pride or pack. The connection between these two men is somewhat questionable. There is heat there but something is really off about them both. It is a long winded story that just did the opposite of what it should have done. As a reader my attention waivered quite a bit with the story.

Like I said above the story had great potential but for me failed to deliver. I normally won’t read the next books because I don’t have a great reaction to the first book, however I am interested enough to see what the next story will be like. I just could have done without the amount of descriptions and the use of kitten. So far this story is not giving me a great impression, but will leave my final feelings for the next book.

Blurb: The course of true love never did run smooth. Ryan is settling into his role as a new father and the royal consort of Mikos, the fierce and handsome Prince of Tygeria. He’s still deeply in love and happy—most of the time. But the former Alliance colonel is a bit restless, and even though he loves his child and his mate, he needs a bit more to occupy his time. Mikos thinks giving him more babies to care for will help, but Ryan comes up with a different idea for some diversion and physical challenge by forming his own team for the dangerous Arena Games.

Meanwhile, Haggoz and Kevin are deeply involved in a much more serious game of their own. The king warned Haggoz that punishing his own mate and holding him prisoner would be nearly impossible, but Haggoz can’t bear to be parted from him. Locked in a seemingly endless war between his love for the former marine and his duty to his king, Haggoz is struggling to survive.

Just when it seems that they’re hopelessly deadlocked, Mikos and Haggoz go on what should be a routine mission against an ARes training facility on a distant moon. When disaster strikes and word gets back to Ryan that Mikos and Haggoz are both in terrible danger, he embarks on a desperate mission to save them and bring them safely home. Ryan finds an unlikely ally in Kevin to help him save the men and discover that even though the course may be rocky, true love will always find its way.

Ryan loves what he is and his life, however he seems to be missing something. Mikos thinks giving him more babies will fix that, but Ryan has other ideas. It is not what you’re thinking, so get your minds out of the gutters. Haggoz and Kevin are in some big trouble. Haggoz is keeping his mate prisoner and is still on the punishing him part. Too bad he can’t seem to stop having sex with the man. He is being torn in two. Then they are sent on a mission that turns bad, it is up to Ryan to save their asses.

I didn’t much care for the jump between all of the guys. Haggor is a total ass, but he will need both his mate and Ryan if he wants to survive what is going on. Here Ryan is getting depressed and needs to make a plan to fix it. What does one expect after having a baby? Ryan wants to play in the war games, yet his mate has other ideas. It would seem that he has forgotten where his mate has come from and who he is. Never get in the way of a marine. Then you have a man who keeps his mate locked up but can’t stay away from him. I just don’t get it.

I don’t really care for books that are longer. It just seems to drag stuff out that is boring to me. Don’t get me wrong this book rocks, but it didn’t keep my attention like it should have. I just don’t care for multiple characters having trouble in one book. I did like to hear about Mikos and Ryan, but I was hoping that this would just focus on Haggoz and Kevin. Other than my problems with it, this book did exactly what it was supposed to. It entertained me for most parts. I liked how Ryan and Kevin were the ones to get their mates out of trouble. I felt bad for Kevin though.

Now the story was pretty damn good, but it didn’t set off any explosions for me. It was a fun read but one that I could have done without. My attention was not caught like it should have which was a bit disappointing in the end. I hope that the next book comes off a bit better to me.

Review: Every once in a while you come across an author that not only can catch your attention with their books but keep it throughout the whole story. These books are the type that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. Shannon West is one of those authors. Her stories not only are very entertaining but they have a world inside of them that makes you wish you were right there with them.

The characters are not only well written with a lot of depth to them, but they have you falling in love with them or wanting to shoot them. However if you cross them, they will put you down. They are very protective of their mates and their family. They will protect them with their lives if needed.

The war has been going on for quite some time and many deaths have been because of it. It is time for peace, so a diplomatic marriage has been set up. The groom is not pleased, his people pretty much prefer men yet he is set up to marry a woman. Thank god she ran while she had the chance, but her brother is about to take her place. Talk about a pissing contest between them.

Mikos is not only attracted to Ryan but he is intrigued by the man. Too bad Ryan has a major attitude. However, I think he can be forgiven considering not only does he have to have body modification done to him, but he is the one that carries the babies. He will miss his world and his life, but Mikos plans on helping him with that little detail.

Mikos and Ryan are sworn enemies so there is a lot to get over, however they will have time. The problem was Ryan considered himself completely straight, well until Miko’s kissed him.

I would definitely recommend this book and the ones before it. It was amazing and I had enjoyed it quite a bit.

Blurb: Jay Tabor, rebel leader of Territory Three has done something he swore he would never do, and that’s work with Quinn, the Supreme Alpha of the Nine Territories, to save his Brother Aaron’s life. Now on the run after his rebel hideout was discovered in Virginia, Jay has found a relatively safe haven for his insurgent group deep in the mountains of Tennessee. His peace is short-lived, however, when he gains a new captive—Devon, the Alpha of Territory Three.

Devon has been beaten, tortured and starved by the rebels in an effort to “tame” him, but when he’s transferred to a new camp, he discovers not only kindness but an unwanted attraction to his new captor—one that goes both ways. Devon has finally found his true mate in Jay, but the man is his sworn enemy, and a dominant, controlling lover, who insists on his independence.

When they’re both kidnapped by forces bent on harming them, Jay has only one chance to save his wolf. He has to prove that Devon is his submissive partner and he has to do it in front of their enemies in order to save their lives.

With only one chance to make it good, he has to put on a show or risk losing his lover and his mate forever.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the second book in the Supremacy of Wolves series.

Jay, rebel leader of territory three has been given a gift from another rebel. An Alpha wolf named Devon. Devon has been abused and starved and Jay is incensed that anyone or anything has been treated this way so nurses him back to help.

Amid mistrust, hope, feelings of betrayal the two men become closer. When Devon tells Jay they are mates Jay refuses him. There is so much mistrust in this book between the two. But I understood why, as Devon had been kidnapped and hurt by humans intent on harming every wolf they could. I really liked that Devon and Jay switched back and forth even though Jay was the more dominating male.

Jay was very alpha and dominating. I really enjoyed the entire book. It flowed smoothly, kept the reader’s interest by combining, suspense, adventure, action, drama and intense situations. I can’t wait to see what these two authors have in store for the next book. Fantastic story with some hot sex to add spice.

Highly recommended.

Blurb: When Quinn, the Supreme Alpha of all the Nine Territories first sees a young man in the arena, he is struck by his beauty and by the fact that despite his chains, he’s barely contained. Quinn recognizes him almost at once as the human who led an assassination attempt on him just weeks before, yet when he tries to take him into custody, he’s shocked to find the human is his fated mate.

He has only one option to keep the council from executing the young man for his crimes—to make an example of Aaron, and to debase and degrade him as his love slave so that none of Aaron’s followers will celebrate him as a martyr or a hero.

Aaron is on a quest to find his brother, separated from him during the plague that devastated the population, killing seventy percent of all the humans on the planet. When he gets word that his brother is among the rebels, he joins them too, hoping to find him. Instead he gets caught up in a failed assassination attempt on the Supreme Alpha, a strong, powerful wolf shifter who now has Aaron right where he wants him–at his mercy.

Despite his growing attraction to Aaron, Quinn has to try to keep his heart from getting too involved, and when another assassination plot is uncovered, Quinn has to make a difficult decision. He must put Aaron aside despite his feelings for him and imprison him, even though the mating bond between them means Aaron will suffer and die without Quinn.

And when Aaron disappears and word gets back to Quinn that he’s dying, he has to take a leap of faith to bring him home and back to Quinn’s bed where he belongs.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the first book in the Supremacy of Wolves series. This story takes place after a vicious plague wipes out most of the human population leaving the wolves, who were immune to it, in charge. I did not like the wolves’ attitude toward humans and what I’d consider forced breeding of the humans. From what I got out the story the wolves thought they were better than the humans and treated them like pets to be used as they saw fit with no regard to what the humans wanted. If they did not do as told they were punished like they were children.

While I liked the overall story I had a few problems with it as well. Number one being the way the wolves treated the humans. It seemed as though it was reversed as to what the wolves had gone through so why would they treat the humans the same? Number two, Alpha Quinn really pissed me off.

I thought since he was an intelligent Alpha he would have actually done research into the bombing that killed several wolves instead of watching a surveillance camera seeing one man on it and assuming this man was the mastermind behind the event.

The way Quinn treated Aaron was so over the top I wanted to slap him. Their first sexual encounter was forced and Quinn used his wolves’ skills to make Aaron compliant in the matter. Which really made me mad because he was trying to make an innocent man pay for someone else’s crimes.

The third problem I had was that wolves have heightened senses. So why on earth did the Alpha automatically believe Bobbi, a human house-servant, when she told him her and Aaron had an affair?

Seriously?

Aaron was always watched and if they had slept together like she claimed then Quinn should have smelled it on Aaron. Not to mention in another scene the Alpha smelled Aaron while he was on his way to the bedroom but yet he didn’t smell if Aaron had sex with Bobbi? Highly unlikely. That part had me shaking my head in bewilderment.

Even though those things bothered me I still enjoyed reading about each character in the book and what roles they played in the story. Some scenes were nail biting while others were sweet.

Quinn was a little too arrogant and cocky to the humans as he thought of human like they didn’t know how to take of themselves at all and needed a master.

I really felt bad for Aaron for being put in a position as a scapegoat for the person who actually committed the crime. I totally understood his defiance and anger at the wolves for his predicament. Especially when he had a very good reason for being part of the rebellion in the first place.

Well written and intriguing. Overall it was a good read but could have been a lot better. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is not the first book that I have read written by Shannon but it is the first romantic suspense. It comes off very dark and a bit too wild for me. I didn’t much care for it, even though the characters were a blast.

Jackson would do everything and anything for his twin Dylan. That included getting him out of trouble that would definitely get him killed. He just hadn’t expected to spend three days in jail, or the unexpected surprise of the FBI.

Ryan had lost his wife a little over two years ago, but he continues to feel guilty. So when he was asked by his boss to bring back a witness, he was surprised but willing. He just hadn’t expected to actually like the guy he was sent to get, nor the danger that was waiting. It would seem that Jackson was not the only one with surprises.

After reading this I will definitely look at twins a bit different. There are a lot of surprises and twist to this story. Now it wasn’t my kind of story but I got to say it is a blast to read. There is no hint on who is behind it all and when the truth came out my jaw just dropped. It is a story that will definitely have you guessing, looking at all of the angles and a bit turned on. I would recommend reading this story.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in Dark Hollow Wolf Pack collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. This particular series has always been good, but with each book, it gets a bit harder to work through it. It is just a bit confusing with all the characters fighting with each other.

Connor is basically a third wheel, going out with his friends and not really paying too much attention to the outside world. On the way home, they are involved in an accident, which one of the injured is his mate. A mate that is hated by all wolves. His father had been the head of the hunters and Connor’s mate was almost like his father. T

he problem was Jeremy doesn’t seem to be the way it all comes out. Nicky and Marco have a reason for hating Jeremy, but Connor’s brother is just plain worried about him. There are always questions without answers and they need to find out what they are.

Jeremy knows who he is, the fact that he is around wolves, but the rest of his life is just in a haze from the accident. He knows that he is one of the top hated humans, but there is a surprise. He has a wolf inside of him, a wolf put into him using Marco’s hearts blood.

His wolf wants Nicky but his human side wants his mate. How the hell does he get into these messes? He was once a well-known heart surgeon and now he is wanted dead by all wolves. His father was dead, but there had to be answers out there somewhere that could help them.

When these two men, get together it is hot and very sexy. I had a blast reading it, but it left me hanging on the end. I wanted to know what they found out and how Marco handles the fact that Connor’s mate is sticking around. It was not one of my favorites though. There was something off about the book that drove me nuts.

This book is full of tension, anger, hate, lust, hot sex, and love. Gorgeous men, sexy shifters, excitement, action, and danger is just a part of this story. I would recommend reading this book. Be ready for a late night.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Camron MacKay is a serious type of man who has his own business. He is stunned when he finds out his mate is a male and not a female like he thought it would be. He knows he’ll have his hands full convincing the sexy, wild Travis Sutherland that he’s his mate.

Sexy wild party boy Travis Sutherland has had a crush on Handsome Camron MacKay since high school. He is shocked when Camron tells him they’re mates. When Camron takes Travis to his families cabin in the mountains to talk and work things out it isn’t easy convincing the party boy they belong together.

A lot drama and back and forth bickering between Camron and Travis until Camron finally crosses the line and Travis leaves only to be shot and taken hostage. Loved the mountain scenes descriptions. The intimate scenes between the were hot.

Great read.

Reviewer: Shorty
Review: Handsome Hawke Sutherland, Sheriff and leader of the cougar clan in Blackwater Falls is preparing everyone for the dark moon or when everyone shifts into their cougar forms especially the ones who will shift for the first time. After the meeting, he meets Jace Miller who is his mate. But because of the dark moon, he rudely orders Jace out of town and to come back the next day.

Census taker Jace Miller has been asked to go to Blackwater Falls to get a census on several citizens. Upon meeting the handsome sheriff he’s instantly attracted to him until the sheriff pissed him off by being rude and ordering him out of town until another day. Unfortunately, Jace’s truck breaks down and he ends up trying to walk back to town only to be attacked by a cougar and knocked unconscious.

Very interesting take on the shifters in this story as it’s hard for them to hold on to their human minds while in their shifted form. I liked the story however, I didn’t understand why Hawke felt the need to continually lie to his mate, drug his mate, and then call Jace’s boss, landlady, and the motel telling them he was mentally ill if he was going to end up telling him everything that was going on.

That seemed strange to me. I did enjoy Jace getting furious with Hawke and telling him off though. The fight scenes were great. The passion between Jace and Hawke was intense and hot.

Great read.

Already jealous over what he thought was Jake’s interest in the man, Cody is devastated by the idea his handsome Dom may have lied to him. Or worse yet, that Jake could be cheating on him, seriously jeopardizing the trust so essential to a D/s relationship.

Cody runs, driving aimlessly until he finds a motel where he can crash, lick his wounds, and try to figure out what to do. Jake goes after him, using a tracking device on Cody’s phone and realizes he has only one chance to save the love between them. He has to make it good or risk losing his lover and his sub forever.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Cody feels hurt and betrayed after Tony tells him that Tony and Jake were together for three years. Cody leaves and drives for a while until he’s too tired and checks into a motel. He wakes up as someone handcuffs him.
Very well written book. Cody should’ve talked to Jake but then again Jake should’ve told Cody the truth as trust is very important in the BDSM lifestyle.

Very kinky scene to get Cody to listen to what Jake had to say.

Great read.

Blurb: Cody is just settling into his submission, learning to completely trust his Dom, Jake, again after the revelations about Tony, when something happens to make Cody question his importance in Jake’s life. Deliberately provoking Jake into an argument works only too well.

Their argument escalates and Cody says things he regrets as soon as the words leave his mouth, but then is too stubborn to take back. When Cody makes a dramatic declaration that he wants to leave, Jake reluctantly agrees. A chance confrontation at a BDSM club results in a torrid scene between the two lovers, but what will happen when the scene is over? Will they be able to find what they thought they’d lost forever? Or will bitter memories keep them apart?

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Jake is promoted and he and Cody hardly see each other anymore. Unable to handle feeling like he’s been abandoned, Cody says some hurtful things to Jake and vice versa and they breakup. Feeling lost Cody does research online about being a submissive then goes to the club.

Heartbreaking how Cody struggled to get Jake’s attention to no avail, then to breakup. But, glad Cody figured out what he needed and convinced Jake of wanting to be with him.

Hot sex scene between Jake and Cody added spice to the story.

Great read.

Blurb: After repeatedly warning Cody of consequences for his bad habits and behavior, Jake administers discipline. Afterwards, he takes Cody to his club for the first time both to display his Dominance and to show the handsome Cody off to his friends.

Public display is one of Cody’s soft limits, but Jake pushes his boundaries a little and they arrive at the club. Jake looks dark and dangerous in his leathers, exactly like what Cody imagined the Marquis de Sade must have looked like as he led his victims into his dungeon rooms. Cody can feel the sweat popping out on his brow, but he trusts Jake and allows him to find a table and join friends, where Cody sees an example of just how the “perfect submissive” should act. Confused, conflicted, and consumed with jealousy, Cody feels like he is so far out of his depth he’s drowning.

Worrying that his own ability to fit into the lifestyle is sorely lacking, Cody fears Jake’s heart may be forever beyond his reach.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Jake punishes Cody for his bad habits. Then later takes him to a BDSM club. Cody doesn’t really want to go but he agrees to please Jake. At the club, Cody feels overwhelmed and nervous, as he’s unsure of what a proper submissive is supposed to do or say. After Jake gives another Dom permission to dance with him, Cody gets uncomfortable watching Jake dance with another sub. Unable to take it anymore Cody uses his safe word to stop everything.

Well written with a spanking scene and some hot sex between Jake and Cody. I really felt for Cody at the club trying his best to please Jake but not wanting to be there at all. Maybe Jake should have explained what was expected of him at the club so Cody would’ve been better prepared and more at ease.

All in all, it was a great read.
