Howl Pass (Paranormal Dating Agency) by Milly Taiden

 

 

Blurb:

Terrorized as a child by her shifter parents and her wolf pack, Sassy Rodriguez has sworn off anything to do with shifters, living her life as a human. Hell, she was even married to a human until she found out he wasn’t as loving and faithful as he had promised after he had said I do. So there’s no way she’s going to find romance in the hottest shifter she’s ever seen when she opens her front door in a towel.

Wolf alphas Remy and Josh have been waiting for the female to complete their triad for years. When finally meeting her with the help of Gerri Wilder, they discover she refuses to acknowledge any part of her shifter self. That includes her mates. That doesn’t stop them from wanting to get her out of her clothes and into their bed.

The attraction is undeniable, but that’s not enough for Sassy to go back into shifter life. In order to have their happily ever after, the men must figure out how to romance their mate outside of the bedroom. A task not easily accomplished for two long-time bachelors. Especially with a woman whose ex-husband is a gun-toting narcissist who thinks if he can’t have her, nobody will.

 

My review:

A sexy and sassy tale of a woman who has denied her heritage and is now finding out who she was always meant to be.

Recruited (The Elisha & Elijah Chronicles Book 1) by D. C. Gomez

 

Blurb:

Zombies. Necromancer-Kitty. How can a witch be bored with this combination?

Nobody knows who did the most damage, the witches or the humans. But the results are the same, the world is destroyed. The war made it easier for the spread of the virus, and even more zombies now roam the world.

With the war over, Elisha enjoys her quiet life watching her familiar control zombies for landscaping duties. Yeah, she is truly bored to death.

It’s no wonder, when her moral enemies knocked at her door with a job offer she is willing to entertain it. Curiosity can be deadly, even to a powerful witch. But is Elisha ready to follow this mission through?

* Recruited is book one in the Urban Fantasy/ Post-apocalyptic Series The Elisha & Elijah Chronicles. Recruited takes us sixty-five years in the future where a terrible plague follow by an even more destructive war has left the world in shambles. Now with a potential cure to save the human race, the only one they can turn to is their own nemesis.

 

My review:

I LOVE IT! Elisha is a powerful witch, and her familiar Elijah is a smart aleck cat who plays with zombies. This world offers a terrific playground and plenty of opportunities for trouble. Elisha & Elijah manage to find plenty. Get ready for some fun.

Secret Agent by Michelle Larkin

 

 

Blurb:

Rogue agent Zoey Blackwood is having the time of her life traveling the world and evading the CIA's capture. Her wisecracking humor keeps things light, but her mission is no joke: save millions of innocent lives that the US considers expendable in the wake of a deadly virus. Giving away the vaccine's top-secret formula when the government plans to sell it lands her squarely on the CIA's most-wanted list.

CIA Agent Peyton North's mission is simple: apprehend Zoey and return her to headquarters. Peyton gives chase, ready to do whatever it takes to catch her. But every time she thinks she has Zoey cornered, the smart-ass agent pulls off another clever escape.

Sparks ignite between them during their cat-and-mouse trek around the globe. A bond is forged and loyalties are tested as their sizzling attraction approaches a point of no return. 

 

My review:

The chemistry between Zoey and Peyton is apparent from the first and I loved snarky talking Zoey from the start. This story takes our intrepid agents around the world and back again. This story is filled with a tapestry of threads to follow creating a picture of bravery and love.

Demon Hunting with a Southern Sheriff (Demon Hunting #6) by Lexi George

 

 

Blurb:

Rowdy rednecks. Shifty shapeshifters. Deadly demon hunters.

THIS TOWN’S GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL.

With its cross-cultural mix of good ol’ boys, big bad wolves, and otherworldly beings, Behr County is the last place you’d want to be a cop. But for Sheriff Dev Whitsun, it’s Sweet Home Alabama—and he plans to keep it that way. Famous last words. When a gruesome shifter massacre rocks the community, the sexy sheriff needs more than a badge and a few silver bullets. He needs the help of an immortal demon hunter. Her name is Arta, High Huntress of the Kirvahni. Whatever that means. Dev is no position to be picky about partners right now. But when Arta turns out to be the one female he could really fall for, Dev knows he’s in for one hell of a ride. God help them all . . .

 

My review:

Laugh out loud fantasy! This is a rocking addition to the series. Dev is adorable and Arta is amazing. The supporting characters are absolutely fantastic. This is a sit down and get lost in their world type of read. Highly recommend.

Alpha Geek: Wilder by Milly Taiden

 

 

Blurb:

Jackie hides a tragic past under her professional, tough girl exterior. Nobody gets in, so nobody can hurt her. Until she’s assigned to rescue trust fund baby geek Wilder from a shadowy group which may have connections to her own history. She shouldn’t want the client, but her body has other ideas.

Wilder can’t believe Jackie is sent to protect him. He definitely doesn’t mind that such a beautiful woman is willing to spend time with him. Not to mention she seems to like him. A lot. How can that ever be a bad thing with someone he wants? Okay, so she could kill him in bed, if others don’t get to him first.

Jackie sees how brilliant, brave, and selfless Wilder is. He’s the polar opposite of most of the men Jackie’s known. She can’t fight her attraction to him, and he’s clearly into her, but a long term love seems out of the question. Until a serum makes him so much more than just a cute geek.

 

My review:

According to the Oxford dictionary:

al·pha male

noun

noun: alpha male; plural noun: alpha males

the dominant male animal in a particular group.

"two of them trotted over to greet the alpha male, a black wolf with a graying muzzle"

a man tending to assume a dominant or domineering role in social or professional situations.

"two alpha males constantly competing to be the best"

 

This is a different installment into the Alpha Geek series. This is a romantic suspense done paranormal. Our hero Wilder may be a geek but he certainly has alpha tendencies. I had to rethink my definition of an alpha. Is it the ability to lead, is it a physically perfect specimen or something else? Jackie is a panther shifter and is a strong woman. She is used to being alone and is unsure if she even wants a mate let alone a breakable human. This is a fast-paced, thrill a minute, sexy ride.

Unwanted Mate by Sam Crescent

 

Blurb:

Unwanted, Sofia Foster only knows pain when it comes to her pack. Considered a freak for her ability to heal, she has become their punching bag. They take their anger out on her, and she can’t leave because the alpha has ordered her to stay.

Caspian is addicted to the scent in the woods, and when he stumbles over a young female being beaten, he cannot just leave her alone. He attacks her pack, and Sofia finds herself free, finally able to live her life in the city.

Only, Caspian will never let Sofia go.

Years of abuse forces her to ignore the mating bond between them, but there is no mistaking the heat, the fire. They are destined to mate, even though someone from her pack lurks nearby.

With the full moon looming, Caspian vows to do everything to protect her, and he takes matters into his own hands. Will Sofia accept him as her mate, or will she continue to be the unwanted wolf?

 

My review:

Sofia is punished by her pack for being herself. She has a gift and they abuse her for it. Released from their cruelty she blossoms. Caspian finds his mate being tortured by her pack and is determined to free her but his wolf won’t let her go. Watching Sofia become the woman/wolf she was truly meant to be is fantastic. This is a wonderful, sweet and sexy read.

Men or Paws by Rich Amooi

 

 

Blurb:

Watch a dog for three weeks, get fifteen thousand dollars. Piece of cake, right?

Wrong.

First, I have to stay in my client’s guesthouse while he’s in the main house working on an important project. That may not sound so bad, but HE is Hollywood’s Bad Boy, Rocco Romano, voted “Sexiest Man Alive.”

The guy could charm the pants off a mannequin.

Luckily he’s not my type.

Seriously.

A rich, sexy, generous man? Pass. Ten-pack abs? Whatever.

My heart palpitations are obviously caused by something else.

As for the dog, he’s sweet and adorable, but he’s named Houdini for a reason.

Then I accidentally kiss him.

Rocco, not the dog.

Then he escapes.

The dog, not Rocco.

Things can’t get any worse, right?

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Men or Paws is a hilarious, opposites-attract, closed-door romantic comedy with sizzling chemistry and a guaranteed happy ending.

 

My review:

Men or Paws by Rich Amooi is a laugh out loud, feel good rom com complete with slapstick, bad puns and a dog named Houdini. I couldn’t have loved this more. I am still chuckling as I type this. Great characters kept me flipping pages. Seriously, read this book.
