Nobody Told Me Thrift Shops Sell Stolen Dragon Heirlooms by Lindsey Devin

 

Blurb:

Rafe Virelli has spent his whole life watching his family's history disappear piece by piece — sold, stolen, and scattered across a city that doesn't know or care what it's holding. He's down to one missing relic and no leads, until his law firm's intern shows up wearing it.

Quinn Bradley didn't mean to become the reason a half-dragon shifter starts showing up at her office. She definitely didn't mean to negotiate her way onto his case, get pulled into rigged auctions and museum standoffs, or end up in the middle of an actual heist when a rival collector decides Rafe's family relics are worth killing for.

She just wanted a law degree and a dog with a stable temperament. Instead she got a client who fixes her door locks at midnight, a dragon who'd burn down a mansion for her, and a front-row seat to exactly how far someone will go to protect what's left of their family.

The relics can be replaced. This can't.

 

My review:

Sweet, slow-burn, with some quirky side characters and some laugh out loud moments make this a fun read. Retired service dog Max steals the show. Highly recommend.

Uncertain (G.R.I.T.S., Love & The Paranormal) by Jan Mau Hill

 

 

Blurb:

Halloween Hauntings & Exasperating Exes

Petra Rushmore, knows what it’s like to have destiny thrust upon you. Like 50 years ago, when she unexpectantly became a Vampire. Now she’s a pro at crafting white lies. None question her Russian accent or that Belgravia is a suburb of London, not Moscow.

Done pretending to have a fulfilling life, Petra draws a card from an enchanted tarot deck. The High Priestess, offers her the ability to make peace with her past and find true love through helping others.

When the Halloween party caterer dies in her arms, he asks her to warn his brother, Gil Maddox. He’s Petra’s Warlock ex who dumped her for perpetually lying. Doing the right thing feels decidedly overrated.

The only certainty in life, is that it’s Uncertain.

 

My review:

Petra is a vampire of many talents. In this tale Petra gets assistance from The High Priestess of an enchanted tarot deck. She works with her ex to solve the murder of his brother and perhaps they may get a second chance at love.  This is a brilliant, fast-paced tale that kept me flipping pages and rooting for Petra.

Bear My Heart (Virtue Shifters) by Zoe Chant

 

Blurb:

Return to the small town of Virtue, New York with the sweet, charming Bear My Heart, a standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA that’s sure to win reader hearts!

Shy, responsible nurse Shanti wants nothing more than to get out of Virtue someday, though without a destination in mind, she’s sure she’ll end up right back where she started. That doesn’t stop her from spending long days watching the new rail line come in, or dreaming about what might be.

Alaskan-born rail worker and grizzly shifter Peter has heard that Virtue is a shifter sanctuary town, and has fond hopes of meeting his fated mate there—but he doesn’t expect to literally walk into her at the train station. It’s instantly clear to him that while they’re meant to be together forever, Shanti isn’t the kind of woman to leap into forever without hesitation, but the days they spend exploring the town and getting to know each other are more of a dream come true than Pete could have ever imagined.

And best of all, their slow-burn courtship gives them each time to consider what they really want, and how they might best complement each other. As Shanti comes out of her shell, Pete begins to understand what he was missing in life—and when opportunities arise for them to build a brand new future together, Shanti and Peter are all in!

 

My review:

Sweet, slow burn, heart warming story. A tale of two small town characters and their very different small towns. I love Shanti and Peter and enjoyed their path to love.

Vampire Detective Agency: First Bite by Ross Weisfish

 

 

Blurb:

"Dinner is always just around the corner when you’re a vampire."

Dumped. Fired. Soon to be homeless. The universe wasn't done with Larry yet. On the way home he crashes his bicycle in Central Park. The smell of his blood puts him in the crosshairs of New York City's most feared vampire.

Veronica wasn’t looking for a meal. Her rolodex is filled with willing donors, but something about the delicious smell sets her fangs dripping. When her impromptu meal plans are interrupted by a group of vampire hunters — dinner becomes her savior when Larry stops one of the hunters from staking her.

With targets on their backs, there’s no hope of seeing tomorrow unless they work together. Survival requires Veronica to reopen old wounds and Larry to let go of his past. Tracking down and stopping these hunters will require the once unthinkable, reopening the Vampire Detective Agency.

 

My review:

Vampire Detective Agency: First Bite by Ross Weisfish is a fun first installment of a new trilogy. This is not your normal vampire book. Our main characters, so far, are a powerful female vampire, a luckless human with some very special blood, a misogynistic vampire detective, a zombie housekeeper and an assortment of hapless vampire hunters. I’ve enjoyed this romp so far and really look forward to the next installment.

Tiffanie (Daddies Of Ferguson's Folly 2) by Pepper North

  

Blurb:

Tiffanie Clarke’s world has looked bleak for a while. When illness forces her to close her design business and go to live with her brother, she jumps at the opportunity to use her talents at the newly opened event location at Ferguson’s Folly. Who expected a hot library director to give her a second look?

Phineas Greene learns a lot about people based on the books they choose. Taking a chance to confirm his suspicions, he recommends a Daddy book to the enchanting woman he spotted at Essie and Zander’s engagement party. When she accepts, he knows she’s the one he has hoped to find. Now he has to convince her to trust that he understands in sickness and in health isn’t a hollow vow.

Ferguson’s Folly has a way of arranging things with a little help from an eagle-eyed housekeeper, a pair of reunited ghostly lovers, and one very opinionated orange tomcat.
A steamy, feel-good romance about repurposing an estate, fairy lights, and an unexpected love when you need it most.

 

My review:

Have you read Essie (Daddies Of Ferguson's Folly 1) by Pepper North? If not I highly recommend going back and reading it before taking on Tiffanie’s tale.

Tiffanie is not your typical romance heroine. She’s battling a life-threatening disease. I love that our hero, Phineas, is a librarian. These two will make your heart smile.

Together in Darkness (A Metal Embers Novella) by Vanessa Rose

 

Blurb:

Some wounds never heal. For Abel Sharp, the demons never silence. The screams are a constant reminder of all the mistakes he has made. She's gone, and the reminders are everywhere. Even after a decade, the pain feels as fresh as that first night. Lost in thought, he finds himself outside of a club doing an open mic night, and he can't help but take a turn. However, his volatile mood sends him into a fury when an impatient patron says one too many snide remarks. Well, it isn't the first time he's gone to jail.

Teresa has never seen someone so beautiful and intense. The agony in his song makes her want to chase him and discover his secrets. As crazy as it may be, she follows him to the jail to bail him out. She has no way of knowing how broken he really is, and her heart doesn't seem to care. His story fascinates her, and she aches to ease some of the pain he carries.

Can he see past his darkness to find love again, and can she love a man chasing a ghost?

 

My review:

OMG! She’s done it again. This author plays with my heart and emotions as if I have nothing better to do than cry for her imaginary characters. In this installment we find out how Able and Teresa get together and find a different kind of love. Not the grand all encompassing love he had with Alanna but a softer quieter love. Another incredible entry in the Metal Embers saga.

My review:

Moonlight Mingle is an interesting take on the Headless Horseman story. This is a short steamy tale guaranteed to warm up your Halloween.
