Danger and Dominance (Black Fox Security Doms #1) by Golden Angel


 


 

Blurb:

Never get involved with a client.

For years, that’s the code I’ve lived by. Keeping my work and private life separate, never muddying the waters.

Then again, I’ve never met a temptation like Cassidy Simone.

Beautiful, broken Cassidy. Staring up at me with those wide, haunted eyes. From the first moment I see her, all I can think is… Mine.

Every moment with her is agony, fighting the temptation to touch her, to taste her.

To claim her.

And when it becomes clear that the threat to Cassidy’s safety is closer than we realized, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Even if it means breaking all of my own rules.

 

My review:

She is running from her abusive stalker ex. He is a security professional. They shouldn’t fall but what is meant to be will be.

It took me a bit to warm up to David one of the team leaders at Black Fox Security. It took me no time at all to fall for his grandmother. What a hoot. She had me rolling on the floor. I felt so bad for Cassidy and loved watching her find her footing and re-learn happiness.

Immortal by Morning (Argeneau #37) by Lynsay Sands


 

Blurb:

Being an immortal rogue enforcer is never easy. But when human bones are found buried in a residential garden—and they happen to be discovered by your life mate—things get even more complicated in this latest installment of New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands’s wickedly alluring Argeneau vampire series.

Crispinus Delacort is an immortal rogue enforcer and a homicide detective. But in his quiet city, he’s more likely to be rounding up truant teens than investigating murders. So, when he learns that human bones have been found in the garden of a sprawling rural home, it’s unexpected to say the least.

Abril Newman can’t believe her bad luck when she discovers a body buried on the grounds of her boss’s home, while chasing after Gina’s mischievous lab Lilith. She was just supposed to be house-sitting for a few days! And then Detective Delacort arrives. She knows she shouldn’t be thinking about love when there’s a crime scene outside the door. But ignoring her attraction to gorgeous Crispin is easier said than done.

When Crispin realizes that a rogue is involved, he knows this won’t be a simple investigation. Especially because he’s so distracted by Abril’s presence that all he wants is to kiss her senseless in every room of the manor. But he can woo her, solve the case, and stop a dangerous rogue by morning...right? All in a day’s work.

 

My review:

Immortal by Morning is a sexy , manic romp that will have you laughing and sweating by measure.

Crispinus Delacort is an immortal rogue enforcer and a homicide detective. There aren’t a whole lot of murders in London Ontario and he’s bored. At almost three thousand years old he’s seen the worst of humanity and if it wasn’t for his siblings his interest in the world would have passed a long time ago. Now he has a mass murder scene and discovered his possible lifemate. Abril Newman has trust issues and isn’t going to make it easy for him. Crispin has no idea how to woo a modern woman and his efforts had me rolling. All this while trying to find a mass murderer.

I can promise a hilarious and steamy romp.

Ruining Romeo by Lynn Garcia Carmer


 


 

Blurb:

YOU’RE INVITED!
Date of Marriage: Next Thursday.
Bride: Julietta “Lettie” Capulet.
Groom: Paris aka "nepo baby" and the most self-absorbed human in existence.

Join us to celebrate…the worst day of my entire life!

Escape Plan: Crash the masquerade ball, steal a date with the world’s most eligible billionaire, Romeo Montague— a mercurial and mysterious brawler—and convince him I’m his perfect match. (Just until the wedding is over.) Or if I’m lucky…maybe forever.

My review:

Ruining Romeo is an interesting twist on Romeo and Juliet. From competing business families this Romeo saves our Julietta from marrying Paris aka "nepo baby" and the most self-absorbed human in existence. Romeo and Lettie are not teens nor do they die needlessly at the end (I approve). Theirs is a love at first sight. He gets to play hero and she finds a true love. I thoroughly enjoyed their story.

I Hate Myself For Loving You (Wolf Mates, #7) by Dakota Cassidy

 


 

Blurb:

Avery Palmer, werewolf, vegetarian, animal lover, and environmentalist has come to Cedar Glen to help the Adams family save their land from ruin.

Lassiter Adams is the ruiner, as in, he’s digging up acres and acres of land for what he claims will be condos on the premise that he has every right to do it because he’s an Adams, too. Not to mention, he had the most money to pay the back taxes no one knew the Adams owed and piles of money talks where the Cedar Glen town council is concerned.

When he shows up with his cash, a few backhoes, and an attitude bigger than all of Cedar Glen, chaos ensues.

Avery does everything short of tie herself to a tree to stop him from desecrating sacred werewolf land—land he doesn’t even know belongs to werewolves.

But Avery and Lassiter have a relationship that goes as far back as when they were in high school, and try as she might, Avery can’t connect the dots to the once sweet, if odd boy who was her mad high school crush, to this new Lassiter who’s always angry and single minded in his search for something he won’t explain.

Also odd? His weird relationship with his parakeet...

Their differences aside, they both have secrets they’ve kept all their lives—secrets that, if not spilled, could keep them apart forever...

 

My review:

Quirky characters, second chances and a magical mystery. I Hate Myself For Loving is a laugh out loud romp that will leave you with a smile. A great end to the series.

Queen By Royal Command by Annie West


 


 

Blurb:

An enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, royal romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Annie West.

When duty to his kingdom…
meets desire for his enemy!

Newly crowned King Benedikt is on a mission to prove he’s nothing like his corrupt father—despite what Princess Annalena believes… Their rival aristocratic families have a long, bitter history, so when Annalena presents proof that the throne is rightfully hers, he counters—with a royal wedding demand!

Orphaned as a child, Annalena longs for love, not a marriage contract. But if becoming Benedikt’s queen is what it takes to ensure the country thrives, she’ll meet him at the altar. She won’t allow her attraction to the infuriating royal to derail her!

 

My review:

A sweet, strong and intelligent heroine and a strong male lead out of his depth. Annalena is trying to save her town. King Benedikt is trying to rebuild his country after the excesses and abuses of the former king. Benedikt is not ready for the likes of Princess Annalena. I enjoyed watching these two battle for what they believe in. A heartwarming love story.

The Last Wizards' Ball (Gunnie Rose #6) by Charlaine Harris


 


 

Blurb:

#1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Charlaine Harris returns with the sixth and final installment in the critically acclaimed Gunnie Rose series as sisters Lizbeth Rose and Felicia must face their fates at the last Wizards’ Ball.

Lizbeth Rose’s sister Felicia attends the Grand Wizards’ Ball, and as one of the most powerful—and beautiful—death wizards in a generation, she is highly sought after as one of the belles of the ball.

However, war and violence are on the rise in Europe as German and Japanese wizards are also courting Felicia…and some are refusing to take no for an answer.

As the façade of genteel wizard society turns deadly, Lizbeth must learn to not only protect her sister, but also navigate the arcane world that is pulling her sister and husband into a dangerous dance with death that could change the world as they know it.

#1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Charlaine Harris has crafted a murderous and magical family drama in this sixth and final installment to the beloved and bestselling Gunnie Rose series.

 

My review:

Incredible! This finale has Lizbeth questioning everything. She is in her husbands world trying to guide her sister through the politics of the Wizards Ball and she is lost and uncomfortable. She is so far out of her wheelhouse. Lizbeth is used to being shown a problem, shooting it and boom it’s gone. Polite society is not so straight forward. Watching the world affecting Lizbeth’s reality was heartbreaking. But our Gunnie is a tough survivor and she will survive this too.

I have really enjoyed this series. Charlaine Harris is sure to give us a unique world and interesting characters.
