Beyond Identity by Karrie Roman

Blurb:

Noah Lancaster’s life is a mess. He doesn’t know much about his past or who is parents were. When he’s beaten on the streets one night while sleeping rough, the attack doesn’t feel like just another random assault on a vulnerable target. Somebody wanted Noah dead. But who’d want to hurt him? He’s a nobody who doesn’t know where he came from or who he truly is.
Harry Cooper wants to launch his career as an investigative journalist by telling the stories of the hardships faced by the homeless. His latest subject was lucky to survive a brutal attack—the mean streets almost swallowing him up like so many others. Noah is a mystery to Harry and it seems to the man himself.
When Noah’s attack brings these two men together neither could imagine they’re about to be pulled into a mystery one-hundred and thirty years old—and half a world away. They’re about to discover a secret someone has already killed once to protect and one that might get them both killed. 
Sometimes who you are goes far beyond who you thought you were.

My review:

I absolutely loved this story. Noah might be homeless but he isn’t a drunk, a drug addict or a rent boy. He is suffering from too much pride. Harry Cooper might come from moneyed parents but he is working for a living and striving for what he wants. When these two meet the world is going to be tilted on its axis.

This is a fantastic tale filled with action, mystery and love. I heartily recommend.

Strigoi Redemption by K.R. Hall

Blurb:

In Romanian mythology, strigoi are the seventh son of a seventh son. Some strigoi can be living people with certain magical properties such as the ability to transform into an animal, invisibility, and the propensity to drain the vitality of victims via blood loss. Strigoi are the myth behind the modern Bram Stoker vampire.

Victor Marinescu is a strigoi. Victor arrived in America just before the Revolutionary War. The local village elders made a pact that every 20 years they would send the oldest daughter to Victor as a possible mate. In return, Victor would protect the village. Victor had been told by an old gypsy fortune teller that he would find his mate in the village of Carver.

Alana Treunmhor has been educated in everything about Victor and her destiny since her early childhood. Alana has a sympathetic heart. She is understanding Victor even though she has yet to meet him. Victor’s home reminds her of The Great Gatsby. Alana is starting to trust Victor and is letting her guard down.

After almost 700 years Victor finally finds his mate, Alana Treunmhor. He wants to be worthy of Alana’s loyalty and love. He needs to redeem himself. She’s beautiful, perfect, and everything about her is absolutely wonderful.

In trying to redeem himself, Victor has inadvertently made his whereabouts known to the only one who can destroy him and Alana. 

My review:

Strigoi Redemption is a different kind of paranormal romance. You can’t live almost 700 years and not have done things you regret. When his foretold mate is born Victor feels it in his bones. When he sees her for the first time he id driven to be worthy of her. This story takes us through Alana’s life and her meeting Victor and their friendship turning to love but like any good tale it doesn’t come easy or without danger. And with Victor’s family filled with unmated brothers perhaps the author will take us back to this world again.

Kept in the Dark (Locke and Keyes Agency #1) by Charlie Cochet

Blurb:

Former Army Ranger turned government assassin Álvaro Montero and CIA Officer Caiden Cardosa crossed paths two years ago in Vienna, where their encounter ended less than amicably—despite the explosive sexual chemistry between them. 

Now Caiden is riding a desk at Langley after his cover is blown. And Álvaro—who was “killed”—has a new identity and purpose as Delta/D, an operative for the Locke and Keyes Agency, under the leadership of the mysterious Alpha Orion. 

When D and Caiden team up in a deadly black ops mission, the urge to kill each other will have to take a back seat to the desire for revenge against the man who betrayed them both. Surviving the mission won’t be easy. Resisting the passion between them—that might be impossible. 

My review:

Kept in the Dark is a fast paced thrilling m/m romantic suspense. The chemistry between Cade and D was off the charts. I loved the banter between them. This is an enthralling story ending with our spy guys in love.
