Review: Each book in the Space Warriors 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. I

have got to tell that when I started reading the first book I was captivated and with each book, it just gets better. I have noticed that even though the warriors are strong, their mates each have something wrong whether they are running from some idiot or they are killed for what they are. They need someone with strength to keep them safe and happy.

Kaden was a cute little orange cat shifter, and to me that would make him perfect. However where he is from they are feared and killed. He thinks of himself in such a negative way that you just want to grab him up and cuddle him. However, he has enough of a feisty attitude that he really has a hand at certain things. He needs someone strong to keep him safe, and he needs a strong hand in the bedroom. Who knew kitties were so dang kinky.

Theo was pretty much second in command on his ship. He was a feared warrior but he had a heart of gold. He had been looking for his little brother, but what he found instead was a cat. A very cranky, feisty, orange cat with an attitude. One that turned in to a gorgeous little man. How had Theo got so lucky? Now all he had to do is to convince Kaden that he was who he wanted and that he was his mate. That he would never let him go.

This was a damn good story that just drew me in and captured my attention throughout it all. I had a blast reading this story. It gave me everything I could want in it. I would definitely recommend reading this story, especially if you love to hear about gorgeous men, feisty little mates, excitement, a little bit of pain and fear and some hot sex. I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing series.

Reviewer: Anna

Review: The Teacher’s Troubled Heart tells the story of Drew, a high school teacher who lives his life ruled by an event in his teens, and Cal, a tattoo artist who moves next door. The first meeting between these two marks the beginning of scorching encounters that soon turn into something more. Compatible in more ways than the physical, Cal and Drew have a great budding friendship.

However, Drew’s past rejection impedes him to ever try to give himself fully again. And so begins Cal’s battle to show understanding to an event that many would have overcome a long time ago, proving over and over that he is willing to put himself on the line for Drew. But when Drew thinks he doesn’t need help, how far and how long will Cal try without hurting himself in the process?

Thus, The Teacher’s Troubled Heart tells the story of how events affect people differently and that love alone isn’t enough to help them through: people need to want to move on. One of the things that clearly illustrate Jarrett’s idea is the very beginning of the story, where we meet

Drew as he is watching Cal through the window. This scene is a great representation of Drew’s distancing himself from what he wants, putting up a barrier to protect himself: watching from behind his window, connecting but withholding his feelings.

Jarrett’s writing is amazing, making up for the frustration the reader begins to feel towards Drew and his inability to move on. The author describes the characters in a way that make them feel life-like, ruled by human emotions that the reader identifies with. Even when we feel frustrated, Jarrett reminds us that everyone experiences things differently, and we cannot fault them for it. Hence, why the reader can’t put the book down until they find out if these characters have a happy ending or not.

On a personal level, my favorite character is Cal, who struggles through every obstacle Drew throws his way. As Jarrett describes him, Cal is not ashamed of himself even if his « tattoos and piercings might frighten other people». All his ink represents something personal and that’s how he presents himself: open and easy-going. Even after past hurts, he is not afraid to try again, even with someone as skittish as Drew. Above all else, Cal isn’t willing to lose himself over someone else.

The reason why I consider this book worthy of 3.75 Hearts is because, although I really liked the story and it’s well written, it’s not something that will remain with me for a long while.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in Royal Mates, Love’s Diamond 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 fantasy romance with two gorgeous men involved. There is just something truly special about these books and this one even more. It had captured me from the moment I started reading and kept me spell bound. Normally when one is reading a novel they would get up and do something for a bit before finishing but this story just would not let me leave. It was like I just had to know the ending. I had to see the happiness that these two men deserved.

Duncan was a prince from Sanzel and has come to Earth to find his aheri. He is afraid though because his powers are so strong and he has no control over them. He had even hurt one of his brothers, although he healed him to an extent he feared that he would always hurt those that he loved.

He sees his Michael at the diamond field and notices that he is injured. He manages to heal him a bit but also notices the pain in his man’s eyes. He feels what he is feeling and if he goes forth, they will just get stronger. He worries that his size will make him unable to be loved. That his man would never want a man like him.

Michael had been born into a family that had not loved him and even more when he came down with the mumps. He had gone to live with a foster mother that was a true mother to him. She had told him one day that he would meet a great man, a gentle giant, and one that would need his love. He had not believed her, that is till the diamond field.

He looked up into the stands and there he was. By sight, they start the bonding, by touch it deepens and once sex is completed, they will be forever husbands. He had told Duncan about the mumps and how he would never have a child but what they had not known was Duncan’s powers would heal them both.

But like most relationships it only truly works when there is complete communication and not to take things out of context. These two have that difficulties but their love will show them the way. They just have to learn to trust in their love for each other and to stop being so damn stubborn.

There is nothing better to me than a story where one of the men can have a baby. I actually get a kick out of that. Too bad that doesn’t happen in our world, talk about a pay back. I love most anything put in front of me to read, but this one is probably up in my ranking.

I love how they have so much love for each other that you can see it in a look, the way they touch and the air around them just makes it feel like they are the only two in the world. You can usually tell when an author puts their heart into their work and this was one of them.

I would definitely recommend reading this. It will give you gorgeous men, tender gestures, a bit of angst and pain, passion and heat, a bit of danger, some very hot sex and happily ever after. It gave me that and so much more.

I guarantee that this book will be one of your favorites. It is just the way it is told that makes it even more special in my eyes. They meet, but are both full of fear. However, they take the chance at happiness. I loved it and look forward to reading the next story.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.

Tallis wakes up in the middle of his kidnapping. He tries to fight them off when they inject him with something that knocks him out. When he wakes again up two men that look similar to him start telling about his past and that he is truly a dragon. Finally rescue happens and the man who whisks him away turns out to be his mate, Zhett.

Zhett has been sent by the ruler of his people to locate the lost heirs to the thorn. When he find them on Earth he also learns the youngest heir is his mate.

The attraction and pull are intense between the two men right from the start. And it never lets up. Even as Zhett teaches Tallis what he needs to know about being a dragon shifter they keep distracting each other with their need. As this is all going on the enemies who hunt the heirs are still on the loose, Tallis’ brother are still trying to get him back, and few other little mishaps along the way.

This book was just plain fun to read. It was well written and fast paced. The action never stops or lags. Whether it was the hot and steamy sex scenes, or the action scenes, or anything else, everything just kept moving along steadily. I loved Tallis. He was just so damn funny and sexy. Zhett was everything one would want in a big and bad warrior.

Together the two made a kickass team. And I loved the little bomb dropped at the end.

I look forward to reading more in this series. It looks like it will be very entertaining.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: Worth Waiting For is the third book in the Dare to Dream series. Bea LaRocca has recommended that the series is read in order, but I will admit that before reading the book I’ve not read books one or two. The first two books, I’ll add, are M/F romance books and those characters and their stories are referred to in this book.

In saying, though, I didn’t get confused and it was easily enjoyed. Yet, I think for this story to go up a level in the “wow” factor, reading the first two books would be a good idea. Claire and Kate from the first two books are also Marcus’s best friends as well as colleagues at the agency and we do get a bit of back-story. But, for people who like details, I think it wouldn’t hurt to start from the beginning. After all, in thinking on things, Marcus has strong friendships with the women of the books 1 and 2. Again, though, if you don’t like M/F, I had no problems catching with things in this one.

Nick and Marcus are wonderful characters with a sizzling attraction and a very realistic feeling relationship. Nick is a lawyer at a literary agent in New York. He had moved to New York reluctantly to be with his boyfriend, who is also a lawyer. Marcus also works at the literary agency with Nick; he’s the PA to his boss and best friend, Claire. The two are attracted but because of Nick’s relationship, they tend to avoid each other at all costs. Although despite the fact they try to avoid each other, it’s clear from the start that they do share a rapport that neither of them is willing to look into while Nick is in a relationship.

Nevertheless, when they finally get the opportunity to be together and finally throw caution to the wind, we get some pretty steamy sex scenes. Both men are strong, so it was exceedingly nice to read a book that wasn’t about a tough guy and a twink. I also like the fact that these strong men are not afraid of their feelings and are not particularly afraid to fall in love with each other. I like to think it’s because Bea LaRocca has written to be essentially kindred spirits that recognise each other as such.

I’m a bit torn on one of the main plot point when it comes to Nick post breakup and this part of the plot is tied up in the epilogue. I call it a main plot point because this is fuelled by Nick’s breakup and influences the start of his relationship with Marcus. The event of Nick going to see a doctor post breakup comes across as sensible and not vitally important to the plot, although it was mentioned enough times to raise suspicions, and then it becomes the subject of the epilogue. It is an important point because it highlights Nick’s trust issues.

I think my problem is, and I hope this makes sense, that although it never came across as particularly important it becomes important in the end, which is when you realise that Nick did have some major trust issues. I guess my problem here has to do with editing or perhaps I just fixated and over analysed something everyone else doesn’t place on the same level as I do.

Regardless, as I said earlier, the plot feels realistic and it was easy to enjoy and get caught up in Marcus and Nick’s story. Both men are incredibly sweet and strong in their own way and the sexual tension is just as strong. They both have a few pleasant hidden qualities too.

Jeremy Stewart has been assigned to protect Dante and keep the demons from transforming him, but he never expected that there would be more to the tortured man than was obvious. He slowly finds himself falling in love with him.

Their love is short-lived when another powerful demon uses it against them and tortures Jeremy until Dante agrees to be taken into Hell. Jeremy must now rescue his lover before the transformation is complete, and they are forever forced apart onto opposite ends of the battlefield.

Review: Jeremy, an angel, is tasked to be Dante’s guardian angel and to keep him from harming himself or anyone else to keep him from becoming the first general of hell. All goes well until Jeremy tells Dante, a half demon, who he is and why he’s there.

Well written and sometimes intense. I loved how Dante fought off what he thought were hallucinations. I thought it was sweet that Dante and Jeremy fell in love.

I was horrified by what Annabelle, a demon, did to get Dante to go to hell with her. But even then Dante still didn’t hurt himself or humans and I was very glad of this. Fantastic story with some hot sex scenes between Dante and Jeremy.

Highly recommended

There is a group of men that were brought together by the World Council called MYSTIC, a group of men with multiple powers. They are only brought in to deal with Nefariouses. These are men with powers used for their own evil, twisted purpose.

Ryker Spalding is a MYSTIC agent. He is six feet three inches and can control metal, speak any language, and decode any message while levitating in the air.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: Quinn has a normal life, besides being his friends are mostly water inhabitants and he can breathe underwater. After a night at a club, his life takes a big change. The man he was dancing with gets a little too pushy so Quinn decides to leave and go home. Unbeknownst to Quinn, the man he was dancing with is a psycho who follows him home and kidnaps him. He is finally rescued by MYSTIC, and one of the members of the team, Ryker, turns out to be his mate.

From the moment Ryker sees a picture of Quinn he is drawn to him. When they finally meet, both Ryker and Quinn cannot deny they want each other. The sex between the two is damn hot. The bond they have is instant, but not without their difficulties. There is still the psycho to deal with, who will do anything to get Quinn back.

My issue with the book was that there quite a few editing errors. Things like a name in the wrong place, an extra word, or lack of a word. Also, some things seemed a little rushed in certain places. I maybe would have liked some things drawn out a little more. I’m not really sure. Maybe it was just that so much went and so much was learned and explained that I got a little lost in the details.

But on the whole, I really liked the unique concept this new series has. Ryker and Quinn are the first mates in the new world created after the meteor show changed everything. There are few women left, and none has been born since the meteors. So nature is finding a new way to procreate. That starts with Quinn and Ryker.

All in all, I look forward to reading more in this series. The secondary characters and their skill sets were just as interesting as the two MCs.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.
Raith is away chasing a man who was part of the group that held his Alpha’s mate and hurt him. When he finally returns homes from his hunt, he meets Dr. Aaron Collins. Aaron was brought to the pack house to help save a human mate dying from cancer. When the two first meet things do not lead to a happily ever after at first. Aaron opens his mouth and manages to piss Raith off with his arrogance.

Raith is prepared to walk away when his friends decide he and Aaron need a little help and lock them up together. What follows is a hot mating over a desk. They also discover that Aaron has a submissive side. As they explore that, it leads them to a local BDSM club where they meet a human Rory. When Rory’s current Dom almost kills him, Raith and Aaron step in to save Rory.

The first part of the book deals with Raith and Aaron getting their acts together and learning about each other. Once they are settled a bit into their mating, they meet Rory. He gives them both someone to take care of and nurture. Rory is nearly broken when he meets his mates. But he is still so sweet and I was happy he got two mates that are both strong in their own rights. Rory needs them both to help him overcome his past hurts. I loved the three MCs in this book. Raith is the warrior and protector of his mates. Aaron is the doctor that heals Raith and Rory when they need it most. Rory is the one that truly ties them all together. Plus the sex scenes are really hot between them.

The writer is able to keep the story moving at a fast pace. There is the relationship between the three MCs, but during all these changes are also happenings in the paranormal world. New characters are introduced that bring light to things that are happening. I really look forward to future books in this series.

There is so much going on and each book reveals more. The author has built a lush interesting world that keeps bringing me back to learn what will happen next.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Robbie knew in his heart that if he didn’t escape his home and father, that he might turn out to be just as hateful as his father. Figuring he would stop off at his brothers to tell him good-bye. His brother had pretty much disowned Isaac and considered him dead. If his father found out that he was gay also, his father would just do the same to him. Showing up at Isaac’s in the middle of the night, left him wondering what he was going to do. Here he is planning on just escaping, and ends up meeting his mate.

Shott had lost his family to a robber at a store one night when he was thirteen, so he had some issues. However when he comes in late one night to find a young and gorgeous man in their kitchen his first instincts were to harm. Then he ended up talking to the man. He was glad he had not hurt Robbie when he finds out that he is Isaac’s brother, but couldn’t figure out what to do with a mate. A mate that can get pregnant.

With the passing of time, Robbie desires to stay with his mate, but he isn’t ready to give up his attitude yet. Then trouble found Robbie and things get even dicer. Shott knows one thing and that is to protect his mate no matter what.

I have always loved a good paranormal especially when it involves two gorgeous and sexy men. What makes it better is that in this series the mates can get pregnant. I always get a kick out of that, kind of like pay backs. I had a blast reading this story and look forward to the next book. The only problem I had with this is the ending of the story. I got a bit lost in who the children were and how in seven months time they had children who were more mobile. However, I loved it and would recommend reading this amazing book.

It gives you gorgeous shifters, male pregnancy, excitement, hot sex, and dangerous situations. Lynn always gives you an amazing book to fall in love with. Characters that are full of heart and soul, the best plots and so much more. It had caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything I could want in this story. Trust me you have to read this book.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is part of the Lubirea Mai series and they should be read in order. Each story focuses on a new romantic couple. For me it gives me an insight into the characters and their lives. I get a crack out of the fact in the paranormal world that a man can have the children. Talk about paybacks for women. When a story has such a serious tone to it but you can see the hints of humor in it, then the book is perfect for me. I am not one for serious subjects I can tell you that. I want a book that I can enjoy and have fun with.

This story was that with me.

Simon is an over bearing lion with an attitude that needs an adjustment. He is a total ass to pretty much everyone. However if one does look deeper then they know that it is just the exact opposite. He had the talk with his father at the age of ten about his duties as a true lion, and then shipped to the council for training for two years. He had though that this meant that his mate should be another true lion, not a human. He saw humans as weak creatures. Then he found out that his mate was human.

Jessie has been abducted by sexy man, kissed by sexy man and come to the conclusion that said sexy man is a total ass. However, he had learned after they separated that he could feel the pain that Simon was in. Then yet again, he has been abducted, but this time by Simon’s brother. Things had better start looking up because he was about to skin his mate.

Once Simon realizes how mates are supposing to be treated and to trust fate, he knows now that he has some serious kissing up to his mate to do. I got a kick out of this book. I love the way they don’t just meet, kiss, and straight to love and sex. They actually had to fight to get it right. It seems to me that it would make their mating so much stronger in the end. This was a blast to read and I look forward to the next book. It caught my attention with the first paragraph and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me all that I needed in a book and I would recommend reading it.

Blurb: Forest Bradford is a coyote shifter who has always fought against his parents’ need to control him.

So when he met his mate, Blade Castillo, a black panther and an elite soldier in the Alliance Army, he refused to let the man order him around. He’s disconcerted when he has to face his own needs when it comes to his mate, but he fights the urge to submit even though it’s what he and his coyote want.

Blade’s need to keep Forest safe was confusing him. As the second to his team leader, Blade has usually looked out for the others, but with Forest it was much more than that, it was nearly an obsession.

When Forest was almost killed by the traitor they were hunting, Blade was forced to face that Forest had become a distraction that Blade couldn’t ignore.

Note: This book is written in one point of view.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order. Also is a spin-off from the Stone Haven series.

Forest has an issue with people trying to control him. When he learns Blade, a very dominant panther is his mate Forest attempts to run. Only to be chased down by Blade. Blade on the other hand is confused as to why he needs and wants Forest so much and Forest refuses to reveal that they are mates. When Forest is nearly killed by the criminal they are hunting, Blade decides it’s time to train Forest like a true member of the team.

During training Blade doesn’t give Forest praise, only criticism. In Forest’s eyes, this makes him believe he is never good enough for Blade, not realizing Blade keeps pushing because he cares. Blade has never allowed himself to be close to people, even his teams who are his best friends are kept on the outside to a degree. His parents did a real number on him as a kid, and his friends are only here because they have been since preschool. So there is a rocky road for the two of them in their mating.

I liked Forest. He was snarky and funny. But also, he was impulsive. He would do and say things sometimes without fully thinking it through, which got his butt in trouble. Blade had to learn to be open emotionally for Forest in order for the mating to work and be happy. In between, the hot sex the two needed to learn how to actually be a mated pair and be what the other needed.

The story was well written and moved fast. The MCs are likable and the sex is hot. I enjoy the world the author has created. It has unique elements in the paranormal genre. Also, each book has its own mating, but they all fit into a larger scale storyline that is very interesting. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Review: The book starts out intense and just better the further along it goes. I loved Owens character and the fact that he was psychic it put an interesting twist in the story that I thoroughly enjoyed. I felt sorry for Christian and they way he was treated by his former pack. It horrified me that his own father put a hit out on him.

Constantine was a strong yet emotional character trying to do right by his mates. I really enjoyed the whole story. It had drama, action, danger throughout. Christian, Constantine, and Owen set the pages on fire with their hot intimate scenes.

The fight scenes were great as well as the rescue scenes. Fantastic read. Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: Sebastian is just trying to get a job as a bartender at a BDSM club. His writing does not make him enough to pay all his bills. His true passion is writing paranormal shifter novels. Which comes in handy when he learns that he is mated to a shifter.

Gavin is a dragon lord that leads one of the largest packs of dragons around. He has been waiting six hundred years to find his mate. Sebastian turns out to be just what he is looking for. He wants a mate who is an equal outside the bedroom and submissive in it.

I loved Sebastian. He was so sweet and just plain likeable. He talks a mile a minute when he gets nervous, which was cute. He also smart and notices the things around him and deals with learning that shifters are real much faster than most humans would, since he has been writing about them for years. Gavin is a strong leader for his pack. But he is not afraid to be loving and gentle with Sebastian when he needs it.

This was a fast paced, well-written book. The sexy and BDSM were tasteful and pretty dam hot. The origin of the shifter world is very unique and one I have not seen before. The hunter’s are the traditional bad guys killing and hurting shifters because they are “monsters.” I look forward very much to more in this series.

Review: Three men are mates. Sebastian is a Delta who yearns for the day he finds his mates. Dobry is a human who was kidnapped and held prisoner by an Alpha wolf who made him his pet. Alastar is a vampire who feels he’s just every ones errand boy in his coven.

Sebastian finds Dobry when he’s sent to investigate allegations and taken prisoner himself. Alastar rescues them and from their they slowly learn to trust one another as they get to know each other. I was horrified by what happened to Dobry at the hands of the alpha and was saddened by what Sebastian experienced when he was younger.

I was glad when the three men made a go of the mating, as they each deserved happiness in their lives. Fantastic read with drama, action, and a lot of emotional healing and understanding. Highly recommended.

Blurb: Jasper has finally taken the step to be with his mate, leaving everything and everyone he knows behind. Starting over is hard, especially when you find out your Alpha mate is controlling and dominating—something Jasper isn’t going to stand for.

Zeus tries to cope with the fact that Jasper isn’t as submissive as he wants him to be. Trying to model his relationship after what his parents had isn’t working out so well. Can he give up his control in order to save his relationship?

Toby Kramer is human, and he’s running from a man who wants to see him dead after finding out Toby unknowingly slept with the guy’s partner. He ends up in Pride Pack Valley, trying to start over when an obviously committed couple makes a play for him. Toby wants no part of that.

Can Jasper teach Zeus to let go of his control while teaching Toby to trust that they aren’t out to toy with him? Jasper has his hands full with his two men when trouble finds Toby and tries to take his little mate away from them.

Review: Each book in Lynn Hagen’s Zeus’s Pack collection features a different romantic trio. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. Lynn always gives a story that makes you wish you were right there in the room with them.

There aren’t two sexy men, but three in this series, which seems to make it even hotter. Each of Zeus’s men has gone through hell until Zeus took over. Rape, torture, beatings and so much more. After taking over the pack, his intent is to make peace with the packs near them. However, after meeting up with the Brac Pack he is in for a big surprise. His mate is one of Mavericks warriors.

Jasper has met his mate, but because of misguided loyalty, he wouldn’t leave his pack and his old lover. That is until Cody told him that he was mated to Keata. Then he knew they were being foolish and goes to his mate. Not all of it goes as he expected, for one they wouldn’t let him be the warrior he is. On one of their outings they are in for a bigger surprise, they have a third mate. A very sexy man that they can’t wait to get to know. Another problem is Toby is human.

Toby thinks that Jasper and Zeus are the sexiest men he has ever seen and sure he wouldn’t mind getting naked and having a bit of fun with them, but his fear is that they are just going to use him. It takes all that they have to convince him that they are a forever trio. Also, can Zeus give up his control just a bit to prove that he wants this mating? They each have their problems that they need to fix to make a go at this sexy mating.

I love romance books that are focused on two very sexy men, but Lynn has given a book that has three sexy men. Talk about a hot spot. They each have their problems and their misgivings but they each see it and take the necessary steps to fix it. They show their love in more ways than one and I can’t wait to get my hands on book two. This gave me the three sexy men, two wolves, one alpha, excitement, danger, hot sex, and a great story.

I would recommend reading this story. It will capture your attention from the moment you start reading and keep it all the way to the end. I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to read book two.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is the second book to the Z Pack Alpha series and it is a pretty good series so far. You should read this series in order. This was a fascinating book and I absolutely loved it. I loved this book even more than the first. The characters were beautifully written with so much feeling that it was even better than I had expected. You can tell when someone writes with their entire heart is put into it and this was one of them. It doesn’t hurt that the sex was amazing and very hot.

Riker is an ass and doesn’t have much of a sense of humor. However when he comes across a shifted form in pain he does what he knows he must do. He goes to him and comforts the man. What he doesn’t realize is that now his feelings are coming out in full force. He doesn’t know who the man was, that is until he goes to the funeral of the father of a family friend. He sees a man who is hurting and only wants to comfort him. He realizes that Slade was that man in the woods.

Slade’s family was a strong and loving one. So when his father passes away he is lost, but he knows that Riker is the one that he wants to get to know. He is the one that was in the forest with him while he grieved. He misses his father, but he has found a man that makes him want to live. He has found his mate in man he wants more than anything in this world.

I loved this book and cannot wait to get my hands on the next story. I can see the love that each man feels and wish that I was right there with them. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it there all the way to the end. This story gave me everything I could want in a story and I would recommend reading this to everyone. It gave me two gorgeous men, two amazing shifters, passion, and fire, pain, and a touch of anger, excitement, and hot sex.

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.

Review: This is part of the Dangerous Wolves series and they should be read in order. For me it helps to keep the characters in my mind straightened out and their amazing lives. I love the fact that each story focuses on a new romantic couple but you catch sight of those in the other stories. I also love the fact that even though there is a serious tone to it there is just a hint of humor that makes it better for me. To learn why they fight for what they seem to think is right and the fact that they will do everything to protect those that they love.

In a previous story, you learn about Maggie and Alexander. They were mates and so much in love, but Maggie was killed in a fight with rogues. Alex left the pack in grief and had thought that he was only missing for a few months. He had let his wolf take over, to try to overcome the grief that he continued to face. That is until he saves a small wolf from a group of rogues. A wolf that he had taken hard and mated with so much guilt. Now he has to figure out how to fix the things that were broken and get back part of the three years he was missing.

Jeremy was an omega wolf, bitten and changed three years ago in the fight that had killed Maggie. He had wanted Alexander from the moment he had seen him, but Alex was mated to Maggie and he knew they were in love. When a large wolf saved him from the rogues, he was scared. Then he realized it was Alexander and he was mated. He wanted the mating but was scared that he was the one that had forced Alexander. Things get a bit complicated for them both but you can see the heat coming from them both. You can feel the love that is there with just a touch.

I loved the way these two men come together with such force and desire. They have the normal desires, regrets, and fears that the others have. Although I am thinking about the fact that Alexander was mated to a woman and now all of a sudden he is mated to a male is a bit bizarre. However if you read the previous books then you see the temptation that each other has for the other one. I loved this book and cannot wait to read the next book. It gave me everything I could want in a story but there was just a bit of magic missing to make it perfect. It captured my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end.

If you love the temptation that the mates give each other with a glance, excitement and a bit of danger than this book will be one to start reading. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves shifters, gorgeous men, hot sex and a bit of twist.

But trusting someone and giving in to the desire that burns within every time he’s around the handsome vampire are two distinctly different things. When their lives are threatened and they have to fight side by side just to stay alive, the hatred Samuel harbors seems less important.

Sully Buckley, a vampire, despises humans just as much as Samuel hates vampires. Nothing good could ever come of their association. Sully has been telling himself this since he first set eyes on the frightened human. To his dismay, he was finding it harder to remember those reasons the more time he spent with Samuel.

Despite the issues between them, nothing can prevent Sully from running to the rescue when they are attacked by soldiers sent by Samuel’s father. When betrayal comes from within their ranks, Sully knows he has to put aside his hatred and fight for his mate or lose him forever, and he desperately wants forever and a day.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is part of the Wolf Creek Pack series and they should be read in order. Each story gives you a new romancing couple but the stories mingle with the previous books. This is an amazing story and I was so glad to have had a chance to read it. Not that anything written by Stormy Glenn can be nothing but awesome. The characters are beautifully written with quite a lot of heart and soul put into them. They also usually have a bit of pain in them that will draw you to them more. These two characters in this story are great examples of that.

Sully is a vampire who has hated humans for quite some time. They had brutally murdered his wife and baby boy. His prince had a human for mate so he was getting used to being around them and when he decided to care for Sam, he seemed to realize he was being drawn to the young man. That young man just happened to be his mate. So he was bound and determined to keep him safe without letting him know that they were mates.

Samuel had been raised by a cruel father who just happened to sell him to a coven of vampires. They were beyond cruel. Rape, feedings, and pain were all he knew about them. He was saved by them when Sully bought him. However, he hated them all, even though Sully seemed to make him a bit calmer. Then Sully’s little secret came out and surprise to him, it didn’t make him run. In fact, when things got a bit dicey, Samuel got even closer to his mate.

I loved the twist and turns that this story had. It drew me in more with each turning of the page. It captured my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I had a blast reading this book and cannot wait to get my hands the next story. It gave me everything I could want in a book. It gave me sexy men, the amazing paranormal world, vampires, werewolves, excitement, lots of action and adventure, dangerous situations, crazy killers and fathers, tempting mates, and lots of amazingly hot sex.

I would recommend reading this story if you love all of that and so much more.
