Harbored in Silence (Aspen Pack #4) by Carrie Ann Ryan


 


 

Blurb:

A witch on the run who could save the world–or destroy it with one touch

I am who they fear.

The Harvester Death Witch.

The one who holds the power of their fate in my hands.

Or at least…that’s what they whisper.

The coven has fallen. The vampires are circling our den. And if we don’t find new allies, our Pack won’t be able to fight much longer.

On my Alpha’s orders, I must find others who hide beneath the shadows for not only our protection, but theirs as well.

Only I’m not alone on my mission.

I brought Cruz back from death once before, and though I know the goddess forbids it, I’d do it again.

Because he’s my mate.

And my ending.

 

My review:

Dara has intrigued me for a while. The Harvester Death Witch. Such a mysterious gift or is it a curse. It saved Cruz but it is killing her. This book is filled with love, treachery and family. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster and left me with a full heart.

Taco Daddy (Daddies Everywhere) by Golden Angel


 


 

Blurb:

Tacos aren't the only thing this domineering Daddy can stuff...

Andres likes it spicy. After all, he owns and operates one of the most popular food trucks around, Rojo Fondo Tacos. And when he's done working hard, he's always ready to play. Recognizing a complaining customer at the kink club should be his cue to call it a night, but what Daddy could resist the temptation to give a bratty beauty a little extra heat?

Rita isn't impressed by Andres' cuisine, and she certainly wasn't afraid to say so... when she had no idea he was listening. The last thing she expected for speaking her mind was to find herself turned over his knee while exploring the local club scene on Newbie Night, but to Rita's surprise, Andres isn't just interested in revenge. He's actually hungry for 
much more.

 

My review:

Rita isn’t really a brat but the filter between brain and mouth sometimes gets her in trouble. This time it may have gotten her more than she can handle.

This is a sweet and spicy romp that will leave you with a smile.

Miss Mage: Casino Witch Mysteries 8 by Nikki Haverstock


 


 

Blurb:

Three things guaranteed to turn a Mage Pageant deadly:


_Contestants willing to do anything to win
_Beautiful outfits and dazzling performances
_A missing body


When Ella goes undercover as a contestant in one of the most renown pageants in the magicking world, she's expecting behind the scenes drama--but not a backstage murder scene. With Vanessa along as her trusty assistant and the dependable and handsome Vin watching her back as head of security, she has to navigate contestants with lots to hide and pageant staff with agendas of their own, all while maintaining her cover as a mage who wants to win the crown. Luckily, more surprise friends drop in to help. And she needs all the assistance she can get because while they know that someone was killed backstage...the body has disappeared.

 

My review:

Miss Congeniality with magic. Monza Ella goes undercover at a magical beauty pageant and has to deal with all the angst, back-stabbing and drama plus find out who is trying to sabotage the show. And then there’s Vin and all of the mixed feelings there.

Another rollicking good adventure.

Awkward by Cara North



 

Blurb:

This is awkward. I’m awkward. He is really awkward. Still, we do awkward well. A second chance at a romance isn’t something I expected to find on this trip to the Big Apple, but I wasn’t going to walk away from it now I found it, either.

 This contemporary, erotic romance is about second chances. Told from the point of view of the main character, anyone who has been in a long-term relationship will relate. It will make you laugh, it may make you cry, but they deserve their happily ever after.

 

My review:

This is a steamy romp with characters that will suck you in and make you want to know what makes them tick. A one-night stand turns into so much more. This book is filled with hot sex so if that isn’t your scene move on. Cali and Ben stole my heart and made me sweat.

Flirty Kumquat (Little Cakes #12) by Pepper North & Paige Michaels


 


 

Blurb:

Welcome to Little Cakes, the bakery that plays Daddy matchmaker!



When she provokes his Daddy side, their friendship changes forever.
 


After working together for years, Tatiana thought she knew everything there was to know about her co-owner, Maniac. His dominant side is often on display, so she’s taken aback when she first learns about his much softer, and much more enticing, Daddy side.

Maniac looks like an outlaw with the rough edges of a biker, but his appearance hides a shrewd professional mind. And his head for business is the only reason he has kept his distance from his gorgeous partner all of this time. But when he finds Tatiana sobbing over the ending of another disastrous relationship, the business is no longer Maniac’s priority. This Daddy can’t stay away from the Little he’s meant to cherish any longer.
 


Little Cakes is a sweet and satisfying series, but dare to taste only if you like delicious Daddies, luscious Littles, and guaranteed happily-ever-afters.

 

My review:

This might be my favorite Little Cakes couple yet even if I don’t know what a kumquat is. Maniac and Tatiana are so good together. I just melted.

Must be Clowning Me (Once Upon a Bite Book 3) by Charity Parkerson

 


 

Blurb:

All Jake wants is a fresh start. He REALLY gets his wish. Now he’s trapped for eternity as a night dweller.

Only Jake could get attacked by a vampire clown the moment he moves his therapy practice to New Orleans. Fortunately, the town is rife with supernatural clients to keep his business afloat. But life has always enjoyed a good laugh at Jake’s expense, and he can’t stop thinking about one client in particular. The vampire who found him and saved him.

Having a vampire therapist is a bit of a dream come true for Aaron. He’s been needing one for a while. Aaron has a barrel full of issues to work out, and it’s easier if his therapist knows about the supernatural world. Unfortunately, Aaron never expected his therapist to be so hot, and they have a connection from day one. There’s no way for him to stay on task. Aaron doesn’t know if he’s getting better or if he’s falling in love. Truthfully, he’s also not sure if he cares anymore, as long as he gets to keep seeing Jake.

Must be Clowning Me
 is the third book in Charity Parkerson’s Once Upon a Bite series. These books are meant to be short, fun paranormal romps to brighten your day.

 

My review:

Okay I’ll admit Jake had a rougher day than me getting changed to a vampire by a clown. Yes, I laughed. This quick romp had me giggling and swooning by turn. Aaron is redeemed and I am smitten with them both.

Dark Little Pieces by Anastasia Virgas


 


 

Blurb:

 

Born of darkness.
Destined to rule the light.
Forever.

Ever Montrose is a witch without a coven. Spooky and different than those around her, her magic takes darker turns, and deeper root, leading her to a solitary existence, both magically and physically. Toss in the fact that she’s unfinished, not perfect, something her peers love to remind her of, and her isolation is palpable. The women she grew up with wont bond with her, not when she isn’t as gleaming and perfect as they are.

But Ever doesn’t know she’s special… meant for more than the glittery brightness of home, and the women there with their too perfect hair, and makeup and clothes. She never belonged there, and she’s about to find out why….

Darkness bred her, lived in her soul, spoke in whispers to her in the depths of night. It promised it would send her Coven… one to rival the most powerful brightling Coven… with its onyx hues and malevolent needs.

Ever Montrose is a daughter of Darkness. And her coven will propel her to Queen status.

If she lets them.

 

My review:

Ever Montrose Everwood is a witch as unique as her name. This is a fascinating story of a young woman coming into her own. Ever is joined on her journey by characters as special as she. This is an unusual romp that is sweet, sexy and special. I really enjoyed this and hope the author continues their journey.
