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

I have read many books over the years paranormal and contemporary; I have loved many series and authors. However over time I start to lose interest in them whether it is from the change in writings to the wait time for a book from a certain series but this is one series I can guarantee that will never lose my attention.

Bellann and Stormy’s stories have a serious tone to them, but with some of the characters you can guarantee a good laugh during it. This story is fully developed and detailed, that it feels like you are right there with them. The world that has been created is a dangerous world for the paranormal, but they will protect each other no matter what.

While in captivity Barclay had been aware that for some reason the doctor loved to torture him even more than his brothers. He had even put a deadly capsule inside of him to see how long it would take to kill him. As time when by he knew he was dying and was afraid for his mates. His sweet little duck, whom he never let shift, had kept him from going crazy. Barclay wanted his brothers to find their mates so that they would never be alone. He also knew that he wanted his duck to have that too. If he mated with the duck or their other mate they would die, so he did what he could to help Elliot find another.

Travarus is a strong shifter and very dominate. When he was rescued and found out that he had two mates he was going to bind them together. That is until Clay said no. Elliot and Travarus had to show their mate death was not an option.

There is some kinky sexy in this one, well what does one expect when there are three sexy mates. This one actually made me tear up a bit, but the ending was perfect. I always get a kick out of these stories and cannot wait till the next one comes out. They are the perfect length for me and I absolutely love these guys.

This story rocked, but then I had no doubt that it wouldn’t. Trust me you guys have got to read these books.

Every once in a while you find an author that can give you a story that you could lose yourself into, and Stormy is that author for me. The world she creates are unique, enticing and downright drool worthy. I love how the characters not only stand up for those they love but they don’t back down when someone is in trouble. They have a serious tone to them but there is just a hint of humor to make them perfect for me.

Aldrin has finally moved to Cade Creek. He even has a job at the local diner and loving it. He has his eye on one sexy man who comes in. However Trudy has already warned him that Jonah is not an easy person. He is in fact very grumpy and not very nice to people. However that doesn’t stop Aldrin from going after the man and making him smile.

Jonah’s grandfather founded Cade Creek and growing up he was not a happy camper. He gave his family hell and even joined the military to get away. Then tragedy struck and it was his stubborn father that had told him to come home, the first time. Then something even worse happened, he was injured while at war, and on the same week he lost his entire family to a car accident. He broke down and hid out on his mountain top. His therapist suggested going to a few places at least once a week and one of his favorites was going to have Sunday dinner at the diner. He just had not expected to find a man that might make him want to live again. Too bad someone out there wanted them dead.

This author’s stories not only draw you in but keeps you there. She gives you hot sex, lots of love and tenderness, mixed in with excitement, adventure and lots of dangerous situations
The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. To me there is nothing better than a good romance.

I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series that you can’t put down and have to read more than once. It is the perfect story for me and gave me all that I needed. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story. I had a blast reading it and I can’t wait to read the next story. When Stormy puts out a book I am usually there to eat them up.

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

I had not had the pleasure of reading any of Leah’s books until today, when I was given this series. I am not normally one that will start reading an author’s work that I have not heard of right off the bat. However, for some reason the series name was what caught my attention. I can honestly say that I am very glad to have started reading it.

The characters were a blast to read about, so damn feisty. I love alphas and omegas, but there is something about one who is neither. One whose life had been thrown for a loop when they were younger. As with Tyrus, who had lost his family at a young age, he is the one that calls to me.

Tyrus and his friends were sent to Earth to bring back the heirs to the throne. He and his friends had not expected the men to be so damn stubborn and feisty that is for sure. His little mate is trouble with a capital T. He has trust issues that might just cost him Tyrus. With Dante being the top suspect in the kidnapping of their team mate, he is in a bit of a pickle. Tyrus knows that with his past, the loss of his mate would tear him apart, he just needs the ass to see that.

Dante doesn’t trust anyone but his brothers. He also doesn’t like to be bossed around and will kick anyone’s ass who tries. However his next stupid move might just cost him it all. Then the doctor tells them the next shocker.

I enjoyed reading this story and cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. There is a bit of confusion in this book, as with the others though. It can be just a bit hard to follow with the mixture of characters and keeping them apart. Also there are questions that the story doesn’t answer, but it doesn’t really take away from the story itself for me.

I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to read the next book.

I love the worlds that Stormy creates for her readers. They are unique, enticing and downright drool worthy. I love how the characters not only stand up for those they love but they don’t back down when someone is in trouble. They have a serious tone to them but there is just a hint of humor to make them perfect for me. When I came across this story, I just had to go back and read the first five books over and it was hot, hot, hot! Also there is nothing better than a man with a gun, well I suppose it would depend on if he knew how to use it.

Tyler is the youngest Pennington of the group. He always felt like he was also the forgotten son, brother and grandson. When his parents were trying to kill Charlie, he had put a stop to it by killing his father. His mother had been put in jail. Then to his shock he was kidnapped by a group of creeps and saved by one hell of a mountain man. Too bad the man had not wanted him for longer than a night.

Creed was once a soldier who now lived off the reservation and had PTSD. He was a mean bastard who just hated people period. That is until he saves Charlie’s little brother and slowly falls in love. Too bad he couldn’t figure out if it was real or not. Then his little man came up missing again. He needed to find the man, bring him home and use every trick he knew to get him to stay.

After reading this story, I think Creed had the perfect home. Even if it had no power, no internet, no TV and so forth, it sounds like heaven. Stormy Glenn’s stories not only draw you in, but keeps your attention. She gives you hot sex, lots of love and tenderness, mixed in with excitement, adventure and lots of dangerous situations. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down.

To me there is nothing better than a good romance. This is one of those stories that I would definitely recommend.

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

Eric is a wolf shifter who is now on a mission. He wants to find out who is giving the assassins the silver that is being used to kill shifters. One had almost killed his brother and he was determined to find out who is responsible. That is until he found his mate.

Tyler is just trying to make enough money to pay the bills. Now that he had a six year old to take care of, he needed the money. His sister had passed, leaving him the guardian to Matthew. He got lucky with the new guy at working needing a place to live. He had the perfect apartment for the man and it would help him financially. The problem was Eric had a big secret that could get them all killed.

Now the story starts out pretty even paced with a great story, then after the first attack it fizzes right out the window. Also the old sex then automatically falling in love just comes off crazy. It comes off to me as a great idea, and then the author decided to rush the rest of it, instead of finishing the danger and excitement in the story. It had great potential but unfortunately the follow thru didn’t happen.

I hate to admit that I was not surprised, since book one was the same way. I had just hope that it would have gotten better with each story. I was disappointed to say the least. I hope that the next book will give me what I really want.

Review: In this second edition of Spirit of Sage we see Alfie, Mason and Jason grow closer and form a strong bond with each other. Four young wolverines who were rescued come face to face with family members who turned them over to the will and word so they could get their inheritance. It seriously pissed me off that people who are a part of your family could be that cruel.

I loved this story as it shows the resilience of people who have been through something horrific and yet come shining through stronger than ever as they recover. I am looking forward to reading more in this series.

Highly recommended.

Review: Each book in the Nehalem 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.

Now when I first started reading it, I was about to just ditch the whole book. There was something about the first few chapters that just about drove me nuts. Which told me that this was one story that was going to rock it. It has a serious tone to it, which one would expect but damn there is some good humor in it. To top it off, a man can get pregnant. Talk about paybacks.

I love the characters that this author gives us. They are full of fire and passion, plus they are sexy to boot. I have fun reading about each one of them, but Wyatt is going to be my favorite, that is when he grows up. He is just a cutie, but he also has a special ability. He can turn a human into a wolf shifter and give them the ability to get pregnant. Which is exactly what he did to this poor human. He was protecting his uncle.

Dean is a scientist who wants to learn more about the shifters. So he has decided to leave his world behind and move to Silver Creek. He also had just broke up with his boyfriend, so he needed a fresh place to start over. I don’t think he expected to find his mate though.

Owen just wanted to protect his brother and nephew. They had special abilities that would make them perfect targets. He had been asked to work with the scientist that was coming to stay with them. That is until he finds out that this man was his mate. What is a virgin to do?

I got a kick out of this whole story. I love the world that A.J. Jarrett created and the men she placed in it. This story caught my attention from the moment I started reading it and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything I could want in a story. Sexy shifters, crazy family, strange humans, excitement, adventure and danger all rolled in to one smoking hot book.

I had a lot of fun reading this and would definitely recommend it. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

Is having his dream relationship worth losing what he already has?

Reviewer: Lisa

Race has always had a hard time growing up. His mother had abandoned him on a park bench without even a name. The nuns had given him the name of the place he was found at. He had been taken in by the Dirty Dozen’s biker gang leader after he had been assaulted in a bar. Dorian had always taken care of him after that. Then the gang was disbanded when Dorian fell in love with a man from Cade Creek. Now he was needed again.

Vince and Ari were not only firefighters but also lovers. Ari was a bit odd, in the sense of most gay men. He didn’t want to have penetration until they found their third. Thankfully Vince understood. So when asked to pick up one of Dorian’s friends at the airport, they both realize that they have found their man. However the sight of those bruises made their desires to protect even stronger. It was going to take them all to protect the little man.

This author’s stories not only draw you in, but keeps you there. She gives you hot sex, lots of love and tenderness, mixed in with excitement, adventure and lots of dangerous situations
The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. To me there is nothing better than a good romance.

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

As a Battle Bunny, honed in the fires of hell, Bailey fights every day just to function. Blind since birth, the skills he learned to protect himself after years of torture at the hands of a sadistic scientist keep him alive, but nothing can protect him from the mate he discovers on a rescue mission. Harvey Blackstone watched his brother die a slow agonizing death from behind the bars of the cage he had been tossed into. He vowed revenge on those that took his only family, if he survives that long.

When the doors opened and the most stunning man he had ever seen steps inside, Vey is close to death. Discovering the man who rescues him is also his mate seems like a gift from the gods.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: In paranormal romances one is always used to wolves and big felines being the heroes of the world, but in this new series it is the bunnies that are the true hero’s. This series is a new fresh idea that is positively amazing. I love the serious tone that it has mixed in with quite a bit of humor in it. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end.

When I saw the series title I knew it was going to be one that I needed to read. It was topped off with the names of the authors. Bellann and Stormy are two of my favorite authors and are usually ones that I will be buying automatically so I knew that this was going to be a top story for me. I was not disappointed at all.

Bailey and his bunny brothers had been held for years in a research lab only to be rescued by the people who hated to see animals mistreated. They had not known that Bailey and his brothers were shifters. Over the years they rescued other shifters from the same fate as them. They had been given the name of battle bunnies, myths and legends. On one of their rescues Bailey notices a scent that he can’t ignore. What he finds not only shocks him but has him dancing for joy. He has found his mate.

Vey and his brother are gargoyles and had been tortured and experimented on for quite some time. After his brothers agonizing death, Vey had almost gave up. That is until the sexiest little man saved him. It will take all of them to keep each other safe from the ones wanting them back.

This story rocked and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next story. I loved the characters even more when I found out that Bailey is not only the youngest in his family but was also blind. He showed that he had many gifts and could protect those he loved. I also loved how Vey wanted to protect him at all cost.

I had so much fun reading this and would definitely recommend it.

Review: Each book in the Brac Pack Next Gen 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 is also branched off from her previous series. These are the children of the original men so if you want the full effect start off with Brac Pack, Brac Village, Zeus’s Pack, Christian’s Coven, and so on.

I love the way Lynn Hagen can put together a book that not only fascinates you but draws you in. I had a blast reading this and look forward to reading more by Lynn. My attention was caught with the first sentence and I just couldn’t put the book down. This is one of those types that even after you have read the whole book you just want to go back and read it again.

Dennis is this little swan shifter who has a big goofy attitude. The last time he visited Brac Village, he came home missing a night. He only knows that the damn tiger is his mate. He just doesn’t know if he should trust him or not.

Ryker is a tiger shifter with a grudge. He has a past that he has not let anyone know about, one that could get everyone killed. He must protect his mate at all cost, but boy was the man making it hard.

Now normally I am all for Lynn’s stories, but this series doesn’t have the same lift as the other ones have. It comes off a bit rushed and the characters are just not catchy enough. They don’t seem to mix very well. There is a bit of a difficult time, then a fight, hookup and love. They just seem to be missing something major in them.

I hate to say it but this series is turning into a bust with me. Which is strange because normally there is something about the way that Lynn tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time, but it will more than likely have you laughing your ass off at parts of it. This story didn’t do that for me like it should have.

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. Which is a major thing for me. I did enjoy reading it and look forward to seeing what the next story will be like.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

I have found through reading this series that Cree has a true gift at giving you a story that not only draws you in but keeps you there. The world she has created for these guys and their families is an amazing one. I have also come to the conclusion that I will probably go broke after buying all her books. To top it off they have a sense of humor that will keep you entertained.

Damn these guys need to learn to communicate and actually listen to each other. Javan loves his little mate, but he also knows of the pain that Henry had gone through with his old pack. He had decided to not claim his mate, but to let his mate claim him.

Too bad that all Henry heard was not going to claim, because he takes off and runs in to Lika and then Terrin. Terrin is a Baliz which is a deadly creature out to kill them all. Except Terrin is not that way, he is such a cutie pie. However it means he has to go home to his mate, the same mate that doesn’t want him.

Javan knows that he needs to show Henry that he is indeed wanted. As soon as he figures out Onyx. It seems Javan and Henry have a very sexy mate to share. Wow a threesome is hot. So Henry’s eyes are wide open when he comes home. Too bad they still have to figure out how to take Lorkin and the other Baliz out before they all get killed.

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

I also love the way the guys are not only unique but they have a tenderness inside of them that just shines through. Cree has become, and just from the two books I have read one of my top favorite authors. I had so much fun reading this and look forward to reading the next book.

I would definitely recommend it.

Te Purring Billionaire's Pet by Marcy Jacks

Title: The Purring Billionaire’s Pet

Genre: Paranormal/ Shape-shifter

Length: 126 pages

Publisher: Siren-BookStrand, Inc. (March 2016)

Heat Level: Explicit

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥4 Hearts

Blurb: Will Morrison is still getting used to being mated to a billionaire, let alone the alpha lion who nearly destroyed his life. Will loves Leon, despite how poorly they treated each other. The sex is amazing, but he is still learning to trust the man.

With how Leon has loved him, taking care of him, it’s hard for Will to not be swept away. But is Leon doing this for Will? Or the baby Will is carrying?

Leon Nathanial Black nearly lost the love of his life because he couldn’t see Will’s true suffering. Shifters only find their mates when they become pregnant, and though discovering the pregnancy was an eye opener, it wasn’t what made him fall in love with Will. He always did love him, and now he needs to prove it.

When an ex-lover comes back into the mix and Will’s abusive parents make contact, it might be more than their fragile relationship can handle.

ISBN: 9781682950883

Product Link: http://www.bookstrand.com/book/the-purring-billionaires-pet

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is book two in Billionaire Alphas series.

I was very happy to see that Leon was different in this book than he was in the first one. This book has an ex that tries to break things up for Will and Leon. When that doesn’t work the guy gets Will’s parents involved by telling them where he is.

I loved that Leon was so attentive to Will that he changed his working habits which was a good thing with a baby on the way. Their relationship was much better as the two grow closer and stronger as time went on.

Though this was a great read I feel that some of this should have been in the first book. Why? Because the series name implies more than one Billionaire Alpha, yet the only one that has been mentioned to date is Max, wolf shifter. So, I’m confused as to who else there is to write about besides him as no other characters have been introduced in either book besides Eric Leon’s ex.

ISBN: 9781682951149

Product Link: http://www.bookstrand.com/book/two-spirit-ranch-size-matters

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the fifth book in the two spirits series. It’s best to read these in order as they pick up where the last book leaves off.

After the horrific events of the last book both Jaime and Mick grow closer together amid the on goings of looking for the word and the will group to put a stop to them.

The ranch’s population grows by leaps and bounds with allies crawling out of the woodworks. But alas they discover spies among them hell-bent on destruction by any means necessary, even murder.

I loved this fantastic, well written addition to the two spirits series. There was mystery, action, deceit, romance and some humor. This book had it all. Tender as well as intense edge of your seat holding your breath scenes that hold the reader spellbound until the very end.

I am so looking forward to the next book to see what happens next.

Highly recommended.

Now they’re frantically busy trying to ensure there’s enough food for everyone to last through the upcoming winter, and that the castle will be a secure place for those living inside it.

The more time he spends with Randall the more he wants this man and this place to be his future but King Edward has all the power.

What if he doesn’t allow them to stay here? Is what he feels for Randall real or just his own wishful thinking?

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is the third book in The Swordsmen series.

Hartley has feelings for Randall but is not sure if it is love as he does not know what love feels like. He has a troubled past that interferes with these feelings. Randall wants Hartley but knows Hartley is troubled.

I really liked that these two eventually talked and brought everything out in the open. They seemed to be exactly what the other needed in a time of unrest and not knowing what will happen next. Randall showed Hartley that is capable of love.

Well written.

Reviewer: Lisa

There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. This series is branched off from the original stories written by Lynn. To get a really great read I would start with Brac Pack and then read the branch offs from that series. They include Brac Village, Zeus’s Pack, and Christian’s Cove and so on. This series is the children from the original men you read before. You will see the fathers in this series at certain points and I have to admit that usually it is Maverick. Hot damn, that man is fine.

This particular book is about Maverick’s grandson Xavier. He doesn’t want to live in his grandfather’s shadow anymore so he has decided to go live with Matthew and his friends. He had not expected to find himself a mate though. One who just happens to be all Alpha male and a wolf. What is an elf to do?

He has some issues and is afraid of what his grandfather would say if he found out that he bottomed for his mate. He has some surprises in store for himself that is for sure.

Eric finds he is mated to a gorgeous bad boy and is about to find out that elf’s are not exactly right in the head. His mate has some issues with sex but he will be glad to show him how fun it will be. Now all he has to do is to keep his mate safe and find out who wants him dead.

I love this story and can’t wait to read the next book. I also love how Alpha males are so tender with their mates. I had fun with his and would definitely recommend it.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is book thirteen in the Rogue Wolfhounds series.

This is a continuation Dean and Joey’s story with more details into their daily struggle to live their lives after the events that happened to Joey that changed him forever. I understood Dean’s view on wanting to hunt down and hurt those responsible who harmed his mate but at the same time I understood Joey’s. It was a delicate balance.

There are quite a few things going on in different relationships in this book. The evil men who hurt Joey are despicable in my opinion. As they have no care for those they hurt or kill in the name of their goals. I hated them with a passion and wanted justice for all the wrongs they did.

I love this series. It has everything you could want in a great paranormal series. There is plenty of suspense, romance, and action infused in an amazing plot.

This series is best read in order as each book picks up where the last one left off.

Highly recommended.

Blurb: Alpha Wolfhound Dean is heartsick. His mate has come back to him, miraculously alive, but Joey Green, the human who used to tease and play with him, barely recognizes Dean. Tortured, brainwashed and turned into a werewolf, Joey wants revenge on Dean for atrocities that never happened. Dean will do anything he can to heal his mate.

Joey had his mind and memories twisted and warped. He doesn’t know what is real or fake. All he knows is that he wants to kill Dean as much as he wants the man to claim him. He feels a lust so great that it draws him to the man who should be his enemy, but he doesn’t know what to do with it, other than give in.

As Joey comes to realize he was brainwashed, and Dean never abandoned him, can their relationship survive what Joey’s experiences have turned him into?

Because Joey is no longer the same man Dean fell in love with.

Product Link: http://www.bookstrand.com/book/heartsick-alpha

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: This is book twelve in the Rogue Wolfhounds series.

Joey is back with pack after being brainwashed and turned into a wolf. Joey struggles to come to terms with everything that happened as well as trying to control the compulsions brought on by the brainwashing.

Dean never gives up on Joey. He loves him yet feels guilty that he couldn’t protect his mate when he needed it the most. It was heartbreaking reading this book. I so wanted to hug them both and tell them with time and love that all would be alright.

I was horrified as at the end of the book it mentions that the people responsible for what happened to Joey will now be targeting humans. It seemed that one of the targets is Peter, Phoenix’ mate.

This was a great addition to the series. That is an emotional struggle for all in the pack as well as trying to figure out who all is involved for the happenings to Joey.

Highly recommended.

Navarez was kidnapped and tortured as a teenager. He hasn’t been able to get past the nightmares that still haunt him. He lives with chaos as a constant companion, that is, until he meets Avery, a cat shifter who quiets the demons inside of him and shines light into Rez’s dark world.

Review: Each book in the Brac Pack Next Gen 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 is also branched off from her previous series. These are the children of the original men so if you want the full effect start off with Brac Pack, Brac Village, Zeus’s Pack, Christian’s Coven, and so on. You will see the fathers in the serious at some point, or at least that is what I have seen in these two stories so far.

Several years ago when Rez was a teenager he had been abducted by a demon who changed Rez from who he was to who he is now. At twenty-four it was time to get on with his life, but his fathers were not so easy to get them to agree. Ceri was one scary vampire but his father had reason to be scared. He has decided to move in with Matthew and the others. What he finds is his gorgeous mate. A mate that is going to be shocked as hell.

Avery had been abducted and dangled from a rope off of a freaking bridge. He was no longer going to be afraid. Yeah right, at the first signs of something different he will faint. He wanted a mate that was peaceful, docile, chivalrous and easy to get along with. What he got was one scary ass vampire who looked like he would eat him. Avery was a beautiful cat shifter who is as sweet as can be. Boy is he in for more shocks.

The demon from the past is determined to tear Rez apart, but he is going to see that his mate dies. It is up to the family to save Avery. When Jaden shows up to take Avery’s soul, there is hell to pay. No one is going to get Avery or their child.

What makes this story even better is the fact that Rez is a part of Christian’s linage so he can get his mate pregnant. There is nothing better than a man who can have a baby. Cracks me up every time.

I can’t wait to read the next story.

Reviewer: Lisa

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

Logan has always wanted a mate so when he found the place he wanted to be his home. He was shocked to find his mate shortly after. However his mate didn’t want him. He tried to give him time, but after the latest he wasn’t sure any longer. To find out that dragons mate without sex, he does something drastic.

Jared had been raised by a prejudice asshat and was tired of it. He had been told that he could only mate with water dragons, but he realized that he was indeed mated to a cougar. He didn’t know how to fix it, but when he sees what Logan has done he knew he had to do something. He had to help Logan heal and had to heal himself. It turns out that something else had been done to Jared and now they needed their family and friends help to fix it.

This is only the second book by this author that I have read and I can tell you that A.M’s books will go in my automatic favorite pile. The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. To me there is nothing better than a good romance, but when it is a paranormal then it hits higher marks to me.

I can’t wait to read the next story.
