The Nightshade Guild: Mage You Look by Abigail Kade

 

Blurb:

A grumpy Mage, a cute delivery guy, and a baby Princess hide out from the entire paranormal world in a cabin high in the mountains. What could go wrong?

Turns out, I shouldn't have asked.

My name is Finnegan Padrick. You know, the grumpy Mage. A call has come from the Nightshade Guild for me to help protect the Elvin Princess after her parents were killed, and I'm completely lost. What the hell does a half Fae Mage hermit know about babies? When my adorable delivery guy, Henry, notices all the baby things I've ordered, he starts talking... and talking. His happy chatter about kids, and insistence I need his help should annoy me, but I'm feeling just the opposite. He's adorable, remember?

I want to get to know Henry better. To be honest, I don't know much about him at all. I have to keep the little Princess safe above all else, but I also need to keep Henry in the dark about our world and it's dangers. When we're ambushed by some Dark Fae trying to steal the baby, we have to run to survive. That's when I find out Henry isn't who... or what... I thought he was. One minute I'm wondering if I can trust him and the next he's the one keeping us all alive. Safety has to be our first priority, but once we're safe, I plan to get some answers, and maybe get a little up close and personal with the guy who's brought sunshine back into my gloomy world.

 

My review:

Mage You Look is a delightful tale of love and magic filled with sweet surprises. Finn and Henry are adorable together.

Captured by the Lion (Alpha Claimed #3) by Milly Taiden

 

Blurb:

Welcome to the world of the Alpha Claimed. Each story features a strong woman and the man or men that love her. Every book is standalone, but once you read one you'll want to read the others.

Leigh Hale is on the run from a dangerous ex-boyfriend after she turned him into the police for running a Ponzi scheme. Now, she’s back home and looking to start fresh. Of course, she doesn’t expect to find the one man she’s always been weak for at a coffee shop before she has a chance to shower or brush her hair.

Xander Caze has his hands full with his businesses and family. But when Leigh returns to town, he knows he needs to see her. He hadn’t expected for adult Leigh to be so beautiful, sassy and full of life. Not only that, she’s his mate. It boggles his mind to realize he’s known her most of his life and just realized the same woman who proposed to him at five years old was meant to be his future wife.

Leigh’s ex isn’t the only problem in her life. No longer interested in going back to work at a big city, Leigh needs to find a new job. When danger comes calling from all sides, she’ll get help from an unlikely person. Staying alive becomes a priority and Xander is doing his best to protect her. Too bad he might not get to her in time.

 

My review:

Alpha lion shifter Xander Caze has poured his energies into building his casino and hotel empire, tending to his pride and one night stands. Leigh is his best friends sister and she is in trouble. She is also his mate. These two tickled my funny bone and turned my heart to mush.

Flame (Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides, #2) by Michelle M. Pillow

 

 

Blurb:

Vin (aka Flame) can’t believe he’s in yet another holding cell. Stupid Earthlings wouldn’t know fun if it bit them in the hindquarters. Speaking of fun, the hot little number who claims she’s a guard at the jail has been making his body respond in ways he’s very happy about. If only she’d get on board with the plan and help him escape back to his ship. First she’d have to believe he’s an alien. Right now she’s taken to thinking he’s crazy.

 

My review:

This is one of three books that run concurrently but can be read standalone. Vin was adorable. I loved that he was unaware of how good looking he was and how innocent he came across because his life experiences were so different. I read this in audio form and was thrilled to find I’ve been pronouncing most the terms and names correctly.  A fun escape.

Tricking Her Protector - Federal Paranormal Unit (Wyvern Protection Unit Book 3) by C.D. Gorri

 

Blurb:

He’s a born protector, but will he remain hers?

Heliodore Wessex knew the female assigned to him was hiding something. Something big.

The words top secret were practically stamped across her forehead. Without the truth, he doesn’t know what to make of the pink-haired siren.

Not that it matters to his Wyvern. His beast is more than willing to aid the tempting female, but will his desire outweigh his need for the truth?

Daeja crash lands on Earth after her Commander demands she retrieve four stasis pods that had been sent to earth decades ago. The male was as untruthful as he was unworthy. But she has no choice but to obey when he threatens her grandfather.

Imagine her surprise when she is caught by the Federal Paranormal Unit moments after she lands. Daeja is wary of her guard and has reason to be. The seven-foot-tall male threatens to send her into her heat cycle with just one of his thorough glances.

Can she trick her protector as the FPU demands, or will his relentless pursuit of the truth endanger them all?

*Fast-paced, insta-love Alien Shifter romance for lovers of paranormal romance

 

My review:

Scifi romance. Even super alien guys are still guys and manage to mess up. I loved watching Wyvern shifter Heliodore Wessex woo then grovel to pink haired Daeja. Sweet and steamy.

Rune of Passing (Immortal Keeper) by Lia Davis

 

 

Blurb:

Natasha Spencer isn’t in a hurry to get another guardian. Her first, a vampire who raised her as his own daughter, is gone and it nearly broke her when he was killed. She isn’t ready to put her trust and life in someone else’s hands. She’s just fine on her own, working a normal job and living a semi-normal life.

However, Nat is anything but normal. Having a gift that allows her to see into other dimensions and create portals doesn’t mean she needs a vampire to look out for her. She can take care of herself.

Just like she took care of the demon who killed her father. Or so she thought.

Her world takes a deadly turn when the murderer comes after her and almost succeeds in killing her. But an immortal savior comes to her rescue.

Zakariya Hawkins isn’t a random hero saving Nat from a demon attack. He’s her new guardian, and the only man that makes her blood run hot. If he thinks she’ll just hand her heart over to him, he has another thing coming.

But she needs him to help find out the truth behind her father’s murder. Doing so tears down her defenses and opens her heart. But will the truth destroy them both?

 

My review:

Rune of Passing (Immortal Keeper) by Lia Davis is a tale of a young woman coming into her own. Her own power and discovering what she wants and needs out of life. Nat is smart and strong and I really liked that she stood up for herself in more ways than one. This is a feisty woman and a hot vampire and demon hunting rolled into a delightful package.
