A Farewell To Charms (Down & Dirty Supernatural Cleaning Services #3) by Demitria Lunetta, Marley Lynn & Kate Karyus Quinn

 

Blurb:

Sex sells...for everyone except the person cleaning up after it!

I'm Paige Harper, and I've got problems paying the bills. My cleaning service for paranormal messes has only one major client. Charms is half gambling den, half brothel, and 100 percent of my income. Unfortunately, on the same week I'm due to get paid - Charms gets robbed.

The ogre madame can't pay me, cover her bribes, or keep her teenage daughter in-line. Somehow, I'm in charge of fixing all these things - while trying to figure out if the guy I'm dating is a serial killer.

On top of all that, Nico - a one-eyed werewolf private detective - is on the case, too. He gets under my skin, and has made it clear he wouldn't mind getting under my clothes. Somehow, I've gotta keep things strictly professional. Sure, no problem.

It's a lot of balls to keep in the air, but it's a juggling act I've got to ace, or else it's farewell to Charms, my livelihood, and maybe even my life. 

 

My review:

For someone who doesn’t like supernaturals Paige seems to be surrounding herself with more each day. I enjoyed this latest installment in the Down & Dirty Supernatural Cleaning Services series. I like Paige more with each book. She doesn’t need to go looking for trouble, it finds her. I love the secondary characters and look forward to future adventures with Paige and her friends.

Grime & Punishment (Down & Dirty Supernatural Cleaning Services #2) by Marley Lynn, Kate Karyus Quinn & Demitria Lunetta

 

Blurb:

The only thing worse than a serial killer that hates you... is a serial killer that likes you.

It's the beginning of the worst knock knock joke ever: a dead body, a pregnant vampire, and a murderous ex all show up on the same doorstep. Except this joke happens to be my life.

The dead body is a "gift" from the notorious vampire serial killer. Doesn't anyone send flowers anymore?

The only upside to his attention is that Nico, a one-eyed werewolf private detective, has decided to assign himself as my personal bodyguard. Even though Nico gets me hot and bothered, I'm done with bad boys. Instead, I'm determined to make things work with a new guy that I've met. A nice HUMAN guy. But I can’t take this relationship to the next level with a werewolf on my tail.

As if that wasn't enough, I'm also juggling a new cleaning job at a supernatural brothel and trying to hunt down a kidnapped baby.

Can I juggle work, romance, and an obsessed serial killer? I can, or I'll die trying.

 

My review:

I just recently found this series and was immediately sucked in. Our heroine Paige is a human struggling with accepting the fact that the supernatural is real and very much involved in her life. Paige makes most of her money cleaning up supernatural messes. It’s gotten her on the “Humans First” radical groups radar. Paige is snarky, literate and fallible. I love that she isn’t perfect but with each book she becomes more aware and less prejudiced. Her roomie, Duncan/Dorothy, is adorable. This is a humorous mystery that will leave you wondering.  Though this is the second in the series it can be read standalone.

Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World: Book 4 (Chronicles of the Belador World #4) by Dianna Love

 

 

Blurb:

In TÅμr Medb’s library, Casidhe discovers she doesn’t know Daegan at all. While Daegan battles to survive a satyr attack, a preternatural being offers him a chance to live, but at a price only a dying man would take. Reese is blindsided by the one person she thought she could depend upon at her worst moment. Atlanta is overrun by demons being created by an unknown supernatural with a hidden agenda and Daegan’s time to save three Beladors facing execution by a VIPER Tribunal runs out.

With hours left to prevent the execution of three Beladors locked beneath VIPER headquarters, Daegan and Quinn race a clock no one can stop ticking.

 

My review:

This installment picks up right where the last left off. Daegan was in trouble and chaos reigns everywhere. Casidhe is dumped from the frying pan into the fire. This book is hyper madness and we can only hope for a happy ending. This manic episode is terrific and will leave you anxiously awaiting the next installment.

A New Year's Wish by D.L. Lane & Shelly Small

 

 

Blurb:

Some people wish upon a star. She made a New Year’s wish.

Waverly Chastain was living in paradise, making beautiful dreams come true. But those were happily ever afters for everyone but her. However, that just might change, especially if the hunky hottie sitting in her office had anything to say about it.

Lennox “Nox” Hollister wasn’t interested in love—been there, done that, got a crummy t-shirt as a parting gift. But when he met his sister’s sexy and sophisticated wedding planner, his interest flew off the charts.

Now, can Lennox convince Waverly his temporary status on the island isn’t a reason to shy away and to give him a chance? And if she does, what happens when he’s unexpectedly called home, tossing their budding relationship into the dreaded space known as distance?

 

My review:

A New Year's Wish made by wedding planner Waverly Chastain comes true in a most unexpected way in this delightful romance by new to me author D.L. Lane and the wonderful Shelly Small. This story will warm your heart and transport you to beautiful beaches and warmer climes. I really enjoyed this tale.

Superheroes Don't Fall in Love (Paladin Romance Book 2) by S.D. Rogue

 

Blurb:

Superheroes can do things that shouldn’t be possible...but can they fall in love? 

In the second (stand alone story) book of the Paladin series, Riko, a frienemy from the first book of the series, has her backstory revealed, and it’s not as cold as you might expect. 

During a mission that takes an unexpected turn, Riko must “babysit” an asset who may be the only chance of finding a former senator’s daughter who has become involved with a sinister underworld.

The career driven Riko has made a point of never getting close, but there’s something about this asset that makes her question if love has a place in her life.

Travel on a page-turning adventure around the world in this suspenseful sweet romance with a superhero twist.

 

My review:

Superheroes Don't Fall in Love is a fun fast paced romp that will have you saying what if. A lot. This may be a “superhero” book but it isn’t a comic. There is action, intrigue and romance and thought provoking mystery. This book explores whether you have to have super powers to be a hero. I think the answer is that anybody can be a hero. I enjoyed this story and look forward to more in this world.

Plain Jane and Mr. Wrong by Tmonique Stephens

 

 

Blurb:

The last thing Jentry Playne needs in her life is a man. Any man, particularly a rich, bossy, criminal mastermind who runs New York City. A sick twist of fate throws her in his path and nothing she does lessens the impact on her psyche and the ensuing wreckage in her life. Is she interested? No…Yes! Even though the man is dangerously sexy, she can’t succumb to the temptation. She’s bitter and hostile and does a piss poor job at hiding it. Left alone to pay her bills and raise her daughter in peace, that’s all she wants. And no one will tell her what she can and cannot do. Not her family and not the man she should fear instead of desire.

Harden Gage is in the crosshairs of the Russian mob, not that he gives a damn. As the bastard head of the Syndicate, he’ll kill anything that gets in his way and keeps him from what he’s owed, which is everything. He wants it all, and that includes Jentry Playne. The cousin of his best friend’s fiancée, she’s off-limits. He promised to protect her and that’s precisely what he’ll do, protect her from the Russian oligarch willing to kill to reclaim the territory he lost, and anything else that wants to hurt her. That doesn’t mean he will protect her from himself. Because in love and war, it’s all fair game.

And Harden plays to win!

 

My review:

I’ve just binged this series to date. I LOVE IT! This author understands that life isn’t black and white there are a lot of shades of gray in between. This series explores that and Harden and Jentry’s story is a perfect example. Harden is a bad guy but he does have a moral code. Jentry has made a lot of mistakes and gets where he is coming from as she has her own code. These two are perfect for each other they just need to realize it. These books are really well written and will draw you into a world filled with danger. I can’t wait for the next installment.

Two Pits and a Little Murder (A Barkside of the Moon Cozy Mystery Book 6) by Renee George

 

Blurb:

Sometimes, the truth can be a real killer…

When Lily Mason and her human boyfriend Parker Knowles help a friend rescue two abused pitties, they’re determined to find out who abandoned the dogs in a deserted house. But the decrepit home has other secrets, too, such as the dead body in the basement.

For once, Lily hasn’t stumbled upon a corpse, but Parker’s buddy has—and he’s arrested for murder. With the help of their friends, human and non-human alike, Lily and Parker are determined to find out what really happened.

Even if it means putting their own lives in danger

 

My review:

Lily, Smooshie and the gang are back in another thoroughly entertaining adventure. This story had me at times angry, emotional, laughing out loud and sighing with delight. I love this series and was totally enchanted with this installment. I heartily recommend this series to anyone with a beating heart.
