Endlessly Yours (The Wilder Brothers #10) by Carrie Ann Ryan

 

 

Blurb:

Four years ago, I promised my dying wife that I’d do one thing: I’d move on.

And I knew as I took that oath, I would break it.

Then I saw Rory. The woman I’d met on one of my darkest nights, and the woman I can’t ignore. Our one night is a secret we swore we’d never tell.

When I see her, I see a glimpse of what could be in the fire in her eyes.

When she sees me, she sees the grumpy, annoying Wilder brother who could shatter her dreams and her heart.

With one stolen kiss, we both know we have a choice: to keep running or finally give in.

Only when she suddenly finds herself the guardian to her two nieces, the world crumbles around us once again. She needs to protect her family, and I know I can’t let her do it alone.

The pull between us refuses to go away, but now I’ll have to choose which promise to break. And if I’m strong enough to be the final Wilder to fall.

**Endlessly Yours is a single guardian, widow’s second chance, one night stand romance in the Wilder Brothers series featuring Brooks and Rory. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

 

My review:

Carrie Ann Ryan knows how to pull your heartstrings. This book is no exception.

Brooks is a widower convinced that he will never love again despite his promise to his dying wife that he would try.

Rory has just inherited the care of her estranged sister’s children she doesn’t have time for love.

These two need each other to live and love again.

Another fantastic read.

Hungry Like The Wolf (Wolf Mates Series Book 6) by Dakota Cassidy

 

 

Blurb:

Julia Lawrence, highly successful pet boutique entrepreneur and all ‘round sexually liberated werewolf, needs a place to invest the gobs of money she’s been making hand over fist since she opened her store.

Enter lion (roar!), Xavier Wolf from Pride Investments. The hot financial advisor who’s come to advise her how to invest all her lovely money, also a shifter who happens to be equally liberated.

When the two meet, it’s explosive and hot, steamy shenanigans ensue. They both agree, they’re only in this for their undeniable physical attraction to one another. No commitments, no questions asked. As two peas from the same pod do. Before meeting, both were infamous for their dalliances. Their well-versed in the game.

But here’s the problem, both Julia and Xavier have avoided deeper relationships due to their strict upbringing and the “stick to your own kind” mentality—mixing ouside your species is forbidden—even though Julia’s pack is riddled with interspecies mates. Yet, neither of them have found anyone of their respective kind they want to spend their immortalities with.

So what happens when not only are you wildly attracted to someone from an entirely different species, but find yourself daydreaming about what it would be like to end your days of carousing and spend your lives together?

 

My review:

Steamy tale of an independent wolf shifter making her way in the world successfully on her own and an equally independent lion shifter making money for those with money. The chemistry between these two is off the charts! But there is the whole dog v cat thing. So much fun. Bring out the fan and the ice water this one is smokin’

Does Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million want Amazon to kill their business? Why would Books-A-Million not order any copies of international best selling author Nalini Singhs books? Barnes & Noble got only one copy in. This has happened for each of her three past releases. I can’t figure it. And the phasing out of mass market paperbacks is idiotic in my humble opinion. I spend most of my disposable income on books. I try to spend local. But have found myself buying from Amazon more and more as Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million have become more reader unfriendly. They keep changing the layout and if a book is not on #Booktok they don’t order it. Its as if my money is no good there.

Can anyone make it make sense for me?

Keres (Fated Dragon Daddies Book 6) by Pepper North

 

 

Blurb:

When all hope has evaporated, his search will focus on replacing himself.

Rimi has existed in the haze of a mountain shielded by clouds. Always dreaming of the sun, she’s never risked basking in its warmth. As the last hope for desperate dragons, being cherished as a fated mate is not this female’s destiny.

Keres has lived without a mate for too long. His battle to cling to sanity is coming to an end. Only one choice remains—abandon his need for a Wyvern mate to hunt something more elusive. The clock is ticking as blackness consumes his mind and soul.

Change has come to Wyvern. A centuries-old pact between the founders and their powerful allies could save the inhabitants of the city once again, but only a dragon Daddy can truly guard his mate from harm.

 

My review:

My heart has hurt for Keres the black dragon. All around him his fellow dragons have been finding their mates and he is all alone. It’s been tooo long and he feels his sanity slipping. In this book he finally finds his mate and she’s unlike all the others and makes his long wait worth it.

My heart is happy.

Blurb:

Their bond is the stuff of legend. But dark forces are poised to tear them apart.

Long dreaming of becoming a gryphon rider and training to defend her clan, Roisin Hati is impatient for her sleeping inner wolf to awaken. She never expected a choking cloud of evil magic to do just that. When she finally opens her eyes, a huge black direwolf with stunning cobalt eyes is standing over her—Culgan, son of her beloved godparents.

Culgan freezes when he hears the first snarl of Roisin’s rising wolf in his mind, feels her fear in his bones. As a warrior defending the hidden Freki stronghold, bonding has never been a high priority. But something about the white-haired, dark-eyed Roisin rouses an irresistible drive to: Claim. Mate. Possess.

As Roisin navigates battle training, Culgan is at her side, guiding every step. The pull between them grows stronger until it ignites in a glorious mating union. But dark forces are gathering in the desert. A daemon hungry for revenge bargains with a goddess for the power to destroy the Freki. And the gryphon riders may have to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the kingdom.

 

My review:

A world filled with magic and magical creatures in many forms.  Culgan is a gryphon riding direwolf shifter and the son of the leader of the Freki clan leader, An old enemy threatens the Freki Clan and it is going to take every bit of skill Culgan possesses to overcome them. Now is not the perfect time to find your bond mate, a newly minted gryphon rider.

I thoroughly enjoyed the rich tapestry of this world and look forward to future visits.
