Dark King (The Crystal Kingdom #3) by Milly Taiden

Blurb:
Jen Foxray is a badass MMA fighter. When she finds herself kidnapped and brought into another dimension, her skills are an asset. Arrows whizzing past her head? No problem. She'll still kick major goblin backside. She can take care of herself and save her friends. She doesn’t need a man to save her. Nope. Not even if he’s hot enough to melt her resistance.

Hyz is on a quest, with his trusty horse Thunder. He needs to know if the rumors of impending war are true. His plans come to halt when he comes across the most gorgeous woman on the planet, fighting off a horde of goblins. Though she can clearly hold her own, Hyz steps in to save her. That's what heroes do. His saber toothed tiger wants her for a mate and Hyz is definitely attracted to her. But she can’t be his. He must wait for the woman with the glowing rock.

It’s a good thing Jen doesn’t do relationships… because her rock isn’t glowing at the moment. Plus, she has two best friends to find and Hyz’s world to save. And really who has time for tingly girl parts and feelings when there is butt to kick and a battle to destroy the evil creatures trying to take control of Crystal Kingdom?

My review:

This installment was so much fun! Jen is bada$$! This story is a fun adventure filled with danger, magic and of course love. This may be my favorite of this series to date. I really enjoyed every page.

Deal Breaker (Heart of the Nebula Book 2) Heather Long and Rebecca Royce

Blurb:

Destiny declared I would be queen of a world I’d never known.

Have you ever fallen for four perfect guys only to find out they were aliens and, wait for it, newsflash, so are you? Yeah, me neither. At least until I did. Just when I decided I’d rather skip the ride to the stars for life on Earth, my best friend died in my arms and I went a little crazy.

I woke to darkness.

I used to think getting up to go to work every day and paying my bills was hard work, but nothing could have prepared me for the challenges ahead. While my heart had chosen Reese, Briggs, Goran, and Dalton, vengeance consumed my mind. Vengeance for my best friend, vengeance for the men I loved and vengeance for me—because I hadn’t wanted this fight.

Destiny said I’d be queen? Fine, then destiny can bite my enemies in the ass.

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

My review:

The authors step it up a notch in this second in the trilogy. This book picks up right where the last left off and takes us on what should’ve been a long and boring ride back to the home planet. Or as boring as it can be when you’re in love with four hot guys. But nothing is ever that easy for Khloe and her guys. This book is anything but boring and the ending had me throwing my kindle and screaming for the next book.

Warrior Fae Trapped (Warrior Fae #1) by K.F. Breene

Blurb:

The truce between the vampires and the shifters is long over. So when the two factions stumble upon a lost fae warrior who has no idea what she is, all hell breaks loose.

Charity hasn't had it easy. Growing up in a bad part of Chicago, left by her mother at 16, she's a survivor. So when she gets a scholarship to a good college out in California, she thinks all her dreams have come true.

Instead she falls head first into a nightmare.

At a posh party she doesn't belong, she gets the shock of her life: vampires and shifters are real! Magic is real. And she is anything but a mundane poor kid just trying to make it.

Warrior runs in her blood. If only she knew how to use it.

Suddenly, she is trapped between two magical super powers - a cunning elder vampire who wishes to use her for her blood ties and maybe tie her to the bed, and a sexy alpha shifter who will protect her at all costs.

Her life of surviving never could've prepared her for this. And if she doesn't learn to harness the fae magic running through her blood, she'll be imprisoned forever.

My review:

I really enjoyed this story by a new to me author. Charity takes the survival lessons learned on the bad side of Chicago to help her in a strange new world. I finished this in one setting.

Black Bears of Independence: Benjamin (book 4) by K.R. Hall

Blurb:

Benjamin Hurst grew up knowing his older brother Corbin would be alpha of their family clan. An injury in an accident (that also took his mother’s life) left him with a limp. So, it came as a huge surprise when his brother stated he was going to make his own clan leaving Ben as alpha of the Hurst Family clan in Estes Park, CO.

Sabrina Bryant stopped shifting after a traumatic incident when she was ten. She only wishes she could remember what it was so she could shift. Sabrina never seemed to be good enough for her father, and after two failed relationships, she knew he was right in saying she was worthless and that no one would want her. Her father arranged a mating with Benjamin for political reasons.

Benjamin and Sabrina learned that she is the last hope to defeat Pickens and his army. They and their clan will fight side by side with the Independence clan.

My review:

This book may be named for Benjamin but to my mind Sabrina is the real heroine of the book. She has survived a horrific childhood and thrived as Benjamin’s mate. I loved watching her grow and them getting over on the bad guys.  This is a terrific addition to the series and although it can be read standalone I feel like you’ll enjoy it more if you’ve read the previous books.

Of The Grave (The Grave Court Book 1) by K. Margaret, Dagmar Avery, Stella Price

Blurb:

The Grave Court is in a time of transition, waiting to welcome not only the first prince in decades, but their sigil, brought back to them by the High Queen herself.

Candiria is antsy, as patience has never been her strong suit, for both to become reality. And as she waits, she’s been thinking back to her guard, and how they all came to her, creating the environment of love, snark and happiness that she is eager to bring both sigil and child into.

Join her and her guard as they traverse memories, and begin to bring their world full circle.

My review:

Of The Grave is as different from the rest of the series to date as Princess Candiria is. This book takes us into Princess Candiria’s world and explains a bit about her why she is the way she is. With her hunky guardsmen and her true love Princess Candiria is a bit of an oddity but I find that I like that about her. This story is fun, quirky and revealing.
