Queenmaker (Heart of the Nebula Book 1) by Heather Long & Rebecca Royce

Blurb:

Everything changed when I crashed into a food truck.

It all started with a brutal hill. An incline that I was determined to crest. One, long, punishing climb with my thighs screaming as I pumped the pedals for all I was worth. That hill could have been a metaphor for my whole life. I was climbing out of the crater left by a broken heart, ready to seize control again. Making it up that hill was a good first step.

Then I hit the food truck.

Enter Reese Riley, blond, gorgeous, stunning sapphire eyes and the kind of smile to set my blood on fire. No way he was real. With charm to spare, he walked me home and then asked me out. Then he introduced me to his friends—Briggs, Goran, and Dalton. Stunning men, all of them. Funny, too. They flirted, they teased, and they indulged. They were incredible, each of them, and they fit into my life like they’d been born to be there. I didn’t know whether to celebrate or to run like hell.

Oh, and did I mention they were aliens?

*Please note this is a reverse harem and the authors suggest you always read the forwards in their books. This is the first in a trilogy. 

My review:

OMG! A new RH trilogy by two of my favorite authors! I went into this expecting a fantastic story and was not disappointed. I can hardly wait for the next installment in this sexy Scifi/fantasy trilogy.  Action! Adventure! Hot guys and a tale that sucks you in I am in hog heaven.

Fever (Dark Kings #16) by Donna Grant

Blurb:

His kiss was fire and passion. She shivered, wondering how he knew just how to touch her, to send her spiraling into an abyss of pleasure…

For centuries, the Dragon Kings have lived among mortals, forsaking their true selves. But for Kelton, hiding in the realm of shadows—and existing only in the world of dreams—is no longer an option. A human woman claims to know that he, like other dark warriors of his kind, is real. That the legends about these powerful, seductive men with hearts ablaze are true. And that, with just one embrace, Kelton could destroy her…or love her until the end of time.

Bernadette Davies is an anthropologist who knows better than to fall into the arms of a Dragon King. But how can she resist Kelton when he’s so willing to share his secrets and bear his soul? He hasn’t met a beautiful, trustworthy woman like Bernadette in…forever. But once they give into their mutual desire, their worlds will never be the same. Soon Bernadette must face her dilemma: Should she expose the truth about Kelton in the name of science? Or join him in his battle with the dark forces—in the name of love?

My review:

Bernadette Davies is an anthropologist who knows dragons are real and she is sharing that fact with the world. Dragon King Kelton needs to find out what she knows and figure out how to mitigate the damage. He figured she was smart but didn’t expect her to be beautiful and open. Just cause he can’t stop thinking about her and wanting to protect her doesn’t make her his mate does it.  

Fever, like the rest of the Dragon Kings books, is a non-stop paranormal romantic adventure that will have you rooting for the good guys, booing the bad guy/s and hoping that our hero pulls his head out of his butt long enough to see what is right in front of him. Though this is a part of a series it can be read standalone but you are going to want to read them all.

Shattered Bonds (Jane Yellowrock #13) by Faith Hunter

Blurb:

Jane Yellowrock must dig deep and find strength within herself if she is to survive in the latest novel in this New York Times bestselling series.

Jane Yellowrock is a shapeshifting skinwalker, and vampire killer-for-hire, but her last battle with an ancient arcane enemy has brought her low. She seeks retreat in the Appalachian Mountains to grieve the loss of her friends, and to heal--or to die--from the disease brought on by her magic.

But malevolent elements in the paranormal community still seek to destroy Jane, and the younger Son of Darkness stalks her, even into the safety of the hills. With nowhere to run and her body failing, the rogue-vampire hunter and her inner Beast must discover a way to defeat this new threat, and find a form that gives her a chance to fight another day.

My review:

Shattered Bonds is a gut-wrenching, blood curdling, high speed adventure that will leave you gasping. Jane is fighting bad guys, time and her own body. She doesn’t have time for everything she needs to do. This is an emotional roller-coaster ride from the first page to the last, I LOVED IT!

Blurb:

For everything there is a season…

Once the star student of her training class, Captain Liz Laika is now an outcast, a casualty of family scandal. Now stuck in the worst post in the Fleet, she should keep her head down. But when a Cerulean passenger is found decapitated, and Liz is framed for the murder, she has no choice but to fight for her life.

My review:

Space Murder is a twisted tale of murder and mayhem spread across stars. Captain Liz Laika has been pushed out on a ship that is falling apart with a crew of misfits no other Captain would take but she is making the best of it until she is framed for a murder she didn’t commit.

King Of Hearts by C.A. Szarek

Blurb:

Secrets make old lovers into enemies...
Nico “Gio” Giovanni has always been the black sheep, especially since he abandoned the family business—a lucrative casino on the Las Vegas strip—to become a cop. Now his dad is sick and his sister begs him to end their estrangement before it’s too late.
Chasing fugitives is what U.S. Marshal Madison Granger does best. She juggles single motherhood with her job, which sends her back to Sin City due to an unwanted relocation. Even worse, her current case lands her smack dab in the middle of the opulent Giovanni Casino—and ups her chances of running into her old flame.
Gio has enough on his plate; he doesn’t need the woman that got away messing in his family’s affairs. His father has never been involved with organized crime, no matter the gossip.
Maddie is petrified he’ll discover her secret. Gio won’t let his dad go down for something he didn’t do. When they take the gamble, the cards are laid on the table and all bets are off.

My review:

I thought that King Of Hearts by C.A. Szarek was taking on a whole lot, cops, casinos, and a secret baby but the author pulled it off. There are several delightful twists I didn’t see coming. Here is a terrific cast of characters that we will find out more about in coming books. A terrific first in a series.

I Want Your Hex (Magic and Mayhem Universe) by Renee George

Blurb:

When your crushing on a vamp, who happens to be a tramp, it's time to practice safe hex.

When the Rogue Magic Control Agency is tasked with security for a secret meeting between the Midwest's vampire king and the Baba Yaga, witch Drag Jones is bummed that the mission is so boring. Walk the perimeter. Make sure there are no traps. Don't stake any bloodsuckers. Blah. Blah. Blah.

Turns out, vampires are sneakier than she could have ever guessed, and their powers don't register on her magic-sensing radar. And one, in particular, a gorgeous smart-ass named Baz, has her rethinking celibacy. She can't decide if she wants to stake him or kiss him. Given the right motivation, she might do both. 

Vampire Baz Delgados is ninth in line to the Ravenblood throne, and head of security for the king, his older brother. When Baz first spots the pink-haired cutie in combat boots, he can't take his eyes off her. Something about the beautiful witch sings to his undead soul.

Unfortunately, an ancient enemy threatens not only the burgeoning new alliance between vampires and witches but also the lives of everyone Baz and Drag love. They must work together to fight this new evil, or they'll lose everything … including each other.

My review:

I Want Your Hex is a fun addition to the Magic and Mayhem Universe. Drag Jones is a witch with an awful gift/curse that allows her to sense magic in everyone/everything which makes it hard to be around anyone. That is until she runs across vampire Baz Delgados who doesn’t set off her senses. Baz and Drag are fun, sweet and sexy. I really enjoyed their story.

Author note: This book can be read as a stand-alone, complete with HEA.

My review:

Bishop's Queen is a romantic suspense thriller that will keep you guessing. Evan Bishop pushed away his fiancé, Isla MacDonald, after a bombing that injured him and killed her father. But now she is in danger and he will do anything to keep her safe even put his heart on the line. I loved this fast paced story and kept trying to guess the killer (I was totally wrong) Evan and Isla were hot together and I can’t wait for the next installment.

Flawed Justice (The Asylum Fight Club, #1) by Tibby Armstrong & Bianca Sommerland

Blurb:

If there were an emergency number for adulthood, Matt Kincaid would have dialed it months ago. Raising his kid brother alone is already an uphill battle, nevermind when an ugly gang initiation lands the teen in lockup. Again. Only, this time for a hate crime against a local fight club, where settling debts isn’t taken lightly. When the club offers to let Matt risk everything in a long-shot match with a man who’s as brutally handsome as he is tough, he jumps at the chance.

If Matt wins, all will be forgiven. If not? Well, he might as well move in, because ‘The Law’ will own his ass...for a very long time.

There are no limits to what Lawson ‘The Law’ Gaumond will do to protect the club he and his former lovers built. An inner-city sanctuary where Anniston Falls’ gay leather culture thrives, The Asylum Fight Club isn’t an easy place, but it’s home. Taking on a local hothead whose younger brother vandalized the space isn’t high on his priority list, but there’s something about Matt that cries out for a firm hand.

Lawson’s never backed down from a fight, and he’s not about to start when there’s no way he can lose.

When renewed gang violence erupts, spilling blood over The Asylum, Lawson and Matt must confront their pasts to find a way forward. Gunshots and knives should be harder to survive than this rough love, but coming to the ring armed with nothing but the truth is their greatest challenge of all.

My review:

WOW! This book sucked me in and wouldn’t let go till way after the very last page. Flawed Justice is the first in the The Asylum Fight Club series. The Asylum Fight Club is a safe place for gay men to fight and f**k which I thought an ironic dichotomy but the authors made it work. While I am not a MMA fan the characters drew me in and made me want to know more. I fell for Law right alongside Matt and can’t wait to see what happens with Reed and Curtis.

Wynters Captive: Paranormal Shifter Romance by Milly Taiden

Blurb:

Lili's life had never been very exciting, so she hoped her cousin's wedding would provide some entertainment in her life. What she didn't expect was to almost kill a man on her way to the ceremony. She definitely didn't expect to get chased by naked men in middle of the forest. Oh, and she sure as hell didn't foresee a hot mountain of a man giving her the hottest sex of her life. But, hey, shit happens.

Cade Wynters wants revenge. He's got the perfect plan: Abduct his former friend's fiancee and keep her past the wedding date. He never thought he'd find his mate in the abducted, sassy-mouthed, curvy goddess. Lili's giving him a run for his money and he loves every second of it. Shit definitely hits the fan when he realizes he took the wrong woman, and she doesn't handle being lied to very well.

Cade's brother is working behind the scenes to take control of his pack. Someone's trying to hurt his mate and he still hasn't told Lili she's probably going to grow fur out of her ass. It's the final countdown and Cade needs to get Lili to forgive him while keeping her safe. Easier said than done. He's ready to give up his pack to keep his mate...and he might have to.

Reader's Note: Hang on to your batteries my alpha loving curvies. This is going to be rollercoaster ride of dirty, fun and crazy sarcasm along with lots of naked men. As with all my books, adults only, please. That means if you're a prude and don't like hot sex or dirty talk, step away from the book. All others, I love you freaky people.

***Previously released under the same title. Has been edited and expanded with additional 20K words of new storyline***

My review:

Hold on to your hats folks this is a wild ride. From a mistaken kidnapping for a mistaken slight to corporate takeovers this story will leave you reeling and feeling good. This tells the story of Lili a smart and sassy full figured gal and Cade an alpha wolf in a business suit. When they get together it starts a series of events that will have you laughing out loud and squirming in your seat. A terrific tale.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan comes a sexy new contemporary series.

Devin Carr likes his life. He likes his job, his family, the outlook for his future. Then he meets her. Erin. As soon as he sees her, drunk and wearing a sequined dress as her world crashes down around her and she fights to put on a brave face, he knows what he’s been missing. Her.

When Erin Taborn finds her high school sweetheart and husband banging the former head cheerleader of their graduating class at their high school reunion, she tells herself she’ll be fine. She just needs to figure out what fine means. There’s only one problem. Devin. She didn’t plan on him. And for someone who thinks they have all their plans in place, that’s a problem.

One she’ll have to find an answer to if this whole friends-with-benefits thing is going to work.
If not, she’ll fail just like with everything else. 

My review:

Breathless With Her is the story of Erin and Devin. It is filled with all the things you’ve come to love and expect from Carrie Ann Ryan. This story has engaging characters and lots of steam and a bit of angst and I loved it just as much as I’ve loved the rest of this authors books. I look forward to seeing what is happening with Devin’s siblings Amelia and Caleb.

Dark 'N' Deadly by Tee O'Fallon

Blurb:

ATF Special Agent Eric Miller and his explosives detecting K-9, Tiger, pull over a truck, the contents of which are explosive. Literally. More shocking, the driver is the kid brother of a woman he left behind. One who still haunts his days and his nights.

They’d never so much as kissed, but Tess McTavish never forgot the handsome, dangerous agent who vanished in a shroud of mystery. Now the last thing she needs is an ATF agent with his own agenda. Doesn’t matter that Tess and her brother are innocent. If Eric learns the truth of their past, they’ll never be free.

Eric’s drive for revenge against the man who targeted him and his colleagues in a deadly explosion still burns hot inside him. Another bomb is about to be detonated and he’s sure there’s a connection between that man…and Tess’s family. But Eric and Tiger will do everything they can to protect the woman he’s falling for from what’s coming...

Each book in the Federal K-9 series is STANDALONE:
* Lock 'N' Load
* Armed 'N' Ready
* Dark 'N' Deadly

My review:

Like the others in this series Dark 'N' Deadly features a hot cop and his K-9 companion. This book takes us to some dark places where you are glad we have heroes like ATF Special Agent Eric Miller and his explosives detecting K-9, Tiger to keep us safe. I absolutely adored hippy dippy Tess McTavish and the way she shakes up Eric’s world. This is a well written story bound to keep you flipping pages. A terrific addition to the series but each book can be read stand alone.

Scent Of A Mate: League Of Gallize Shifters by Dianna Love

(This cover is perfect)

Blurb:

New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love’s League of Gallize Shifters are back with a wild ride and sizzling romance in Scent Of A Mate.

Gan never wanted to be a shifter and now he’s got a monster Siberian Tiger inside of him. He’s spent his whole life as a prisoner. This is no different. The minute he convinces the happens, Gan plans to vanish and live in a wilderness, leaving shifters behind forever, because he’ll have control of the crazy tiger. He gets his chance at freedom by hiding the fact that his animal is still insane. All he has to do is keep his tiger buttoned down long enough to observe on a mission and pay back a debt he owes to a sexy cougar shifter. That might have worked perfectly if Gan’s heart hadn’t fallen victim to the female running the mission … and if his tiger hadn’t busted loose.

As a cougar shifter, Scarlett spends most of her days rescuing female shifters from predators. She has no intention of calling in the marker Gan owes her until she needs a rogue to help her save an innocent from powerful people she’s avoided her whole life. Unlike the other Gallize, an angry Gan has no problem breaking a few rules, and she’s seen the true man inside who will protect a vulnerable innocent. She had a sound plan, one that would cost only her if things went bad, until that crazy tiger shifter destroyed any hope of walking away from him. When Gan and Scarlett face impossible odds, each of them must put the one thing they hold most dear on the line to protect the other.

Every story is stand alone.

My review:

I LOVED THIS STORY! Gan about broke my heart as the tortured hero with a heart of gold. Scarlett is smart and tough as nails and doesn’t need anybody, doesn’t want anybody as she has secrets that will get them killed. But it is mighty hard to kill a Gallize shifter especially one who has found something to fight for. This story will leave you with happy tears.

Artist Samantha Cartwright arrives in Cat’s Paw Cove for a visit with her great Aunt Emma, hoping to get clarity about Emma’s cryptic prediction. Instead, Sam finds out she must mind her aunt’s metaphysical shop while Emma is away on vacation. The temporary job proves impossible for Sam because unlike Emma, Sam possesses no magical powers. Lucky for her, tall, dark, and handsome help enters the shop just in the nick of time.

Eli Kincaid managed to get on the bad side of a ruthless loan shark. Now his life depends upon his ability to con an innocent woman out of the only thing of value she owns—a precious jewel she inherited. If he can get close to Sam, maybe he can figure out where she’s keeping the gem. What he hadn’t counted on was falling for his mark. Can he escape the web of deception and protect Sam as sinister forces close in on both of them?

My review:

Gambling on the Artist is a little darker than the others in this series to date. Samantha is a gifted artist and the only one in her family with no magical gift. She left the only home she ever knew to make it on her own but now she is back in Cat’s Paw Cove and in danger because someone is determined to get their hands on her legacy from her recently deceased father.

I liked Sam. She could have been all boo hoo woe is me but she knows she is a work in progress. I usually like my heroines with more self confidence but Sam is self aware and getting there. This was a sweet story of a young woman coming into her own.

Though this is part of a series it can be read stand alone.

This book has been updated and expanded. All mention of the Southern Shifters World have been removed and the book is now set in the Tiger Bite World.

Madison Templeton, known to most as Maddie, is going through a break-up. The man she thought was her mate, actually wasn’t. While that should break her heart, and it did a little, she’s more upset about losing her best friend and confidant, her ex-boyfriend’s twin brother Van. When the opportunity to escape town and help her cousin out at her bakery comes around, she jumps at it. A little time away to get her head back on straight seems like the perfect way to get some distance.
Van Bowman thought all he could have since the day Maddie unwittingly picked his twin brother over him, was friendship. He’s had to love her quietly from a distance, and find comfort in being her confidant. Now that his brother has broken up with her, Van is ready to claim the woman that should have been his from the beginning. He made a mistake not telling her how he felt, and he aims to fix that. He’ll do anything to convince her she belongs to him, even chase after her and face off against her new protective friends.

My review:
This is a fast paced shifter love story that I devoured in one sitting. It starts with our heroine cussin and fussin because she was dumped. She won’t miss the lion but she will miss her bff his twin brother. She doesn’t know how to deal with that so she takes a little vacay to help her cousin out at her bakery and get her head on straight. This is when the fun begins. Our hero has sat on the sidelines watching his brother with the ligeress he knows is his mate. But the choice has to be hers. When she is set free he is determined to win her for himself. A sexy fun read I highly recommend.

Peace, Blood, and Understanding (Half-Moon Hollow #7) by Molly Harper

Blurb:

The “enchanting” (Publishers Weekly) Jane Jameson series returns with this fun and witty paranormal romance following a vampire consultant who has nefarious plans to oust Jane from her role as the head of Half-Moon Hollow’s vampire council.

Ever since Jane Jameson took over running the Vampire Council for Half-Moon Hollow, things have been a little unorthodox and that doesn’t sit well with the head office. Who would have thought vampires were so into bureaucracy and tradition?

Enter a vamp from corporate who’s determined to unseat Jane and get the council back on track—which means no more of this Kentucky neighborliness and mixing with humans, werewolves, witches, or anything else.

But Jane’s not interested in going back to the bad old days when the council was mired in corruption and tended to “accidentally” eat people now and again, but she might be in over her head this time. Good thing there’s a pretty new face in town who just might be the perfect distraction and help save Jane’s career.

My review:

Welcome back to Half-Moon Hollow. In this installment Jane and Dick are being audited by the council for their unorthodox methods. Jane is supervising new made vampire Meadow’s rehab who has managed to catch the eye of the auditor Erik. This all sounds very soap opera but it really isn’t it is just my weak way of saying this story has layers on layers and is all the more fantastic because of it. This is a terrific addition to the series.
