Aidan (Dublin Kings #3) by L.K. Shaw


 

Blurb:

At twenty-eight, I’m not supposed to be raising my three orphaned siblings and trying to run our family’s pub alone.
When dangerous men come to collect on Da’s debt—one I can’t pay—I go to the only person who might be able to help. My closest friend, Aidan.

Only he’s not who he says he is.

As a member of the Donnelly family, and the biggest crime organization in Dublin, he’s able to pay off the debt and keep my siblings and me safe.

His price?
Marriage.

 

My review:

I LOVE Aidan.  As the younger brother Aidan doesn’t really have a specific title in the organization. He is restless. One of the few things he finds peace in is his friendship with Sorcha. But she doesn’t know who his family is. She only sees the side of himself that he allows her to. This has gone on for five years. But now it all changes. This friends to lovers will bring a smile to your face. I really enjoyed this one.

Rocco (Danger Bluff #1) by Becca Jameson & Pepper North


 

 

Blurb:

Rocco
A mysterious billionaire saved my life.
Now, I owe him.
My team’s job: Save Sadie at all costs.
My goal: Convince her she’s mine.

Sadie

I wish I’d never noticed that error.
Now, I’m jobless, homeless, and broke.
Thank goodness the resort at Danger Bluff is hiring.
If only that chiseled mountaineer didn’t ooze Daddy vibes.

 

My review:

Rocco is a wonderful start to what looks to be a series about six very protective guys and the women they find to love.

Rocco and Sadie are perfect for each other. Now if he and the guys can just keep her alive long enough to convince her. Instalove and a lot of action.

How to Fake-Date a Vampire (Charming Cove #2) by Linsey Hall


 

 

Blurb:

Faking it with a vampire duke should be simple, right?

I’ve got one chance to prove to my coven that I’m worth my wand. But to do it, I’m going to have to make a deal with a vampire duke. I get to use his gorgeous estate in Cornwall to host the Beltane Ball--and in exchange, I’ll pretend to be his girlfriend. But it’s all a show for his grandmother.

The rules of our fake relationship are simple:
No flirting. No emotion. No sex. Simple, right?

Except I can’t seem to ignore the allure of the infuriating and devastatingly sexy vampire. Falling for a duke isn’t an option, though. I would lose the anonymity that protects me and my coven, and that would ruin my life. 
And the lives of those in my coven.

So yeah, totally simple, right?

 

My review:

How to Fake-Date a Vampire is an adorable paranormal rom-com. It has some truly absurd laugh out loud moments. I loved Emma and her precious familiar Penelope. Aleric could have been human except for the blood drinking out of a glass. But even with that this was a fast paced romp that I truly enjoyed. Though this is part of a series it can be read stand alone just fine.

Catch Her Death (Bree Taggert #7) by Melinda Leigh


 


 

Blurb:

Sheriff Bree Taggert and those she loves become the target of a family’s deadly revenge in a chilling novel of suspense by #1 Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.

After Sheriff Bree Taggert’s takedown of cold-blooded murderer Travis Ekin, his family vows revenge. Travis’s mother and brothers are every bit as violent, and Bree is in their crosshairs.

To complicate matters, Bree’s best friend, Dana Romano, walks into her date’s home and finds him shot in the chest. Dana tangles with an unidentified intruder, but he escapes through the back door. The crime scene is in another police department’s jurisdiction, and the lead investigator focuses on Dana as the prime suspect.

While Bree and investigator Matt Flynn work off the books to clear Dana, Bree’s family receives deadly threats. A second dead body and a shocking piece of evidence link the two cases. Bree and Matt must find the killer fast—before either case takes another deadly turn.

 

My review:

Sheriff Bree Taggert is back in another brain twisting case where Bree’s best friend, Dana Romano is the prime suspect. Bree knows that Dana wouldn’t have done it but can’t intrude on another cops case. But when the case she is working links to the case Dana is accused in she must find the killer before they kill again.

I love watching Bree grow as a person. She is the consummate cop but raising her sisters kids and her involvement with Matt have forced her to widen her life to more than the job. A fantastic addition to the series.

Wild As a Wolf (SWAT Book 15) by Paige Tyler



 

Blurb:

Nothing is more powerful than a werewolf—excerpt perhaps a mighty warrior.

Nothing surprises SWAT alpha Hale Delaney—he’s seen almost everything since he became a werewolf. But when he goes head-to-head with Dallas’s newest supernatural villain and is saved by the woman he loved and lost a decade ago, his world is turned upside down. Karissa Bonifay has always been fierce and capable, but now she’s a sword-wielding warrior in her own right.

The more time Hale and Karissa spend together hunting the dangerous supernaturals terrorizing the city, the closer they come to the truth about what really came between them all those years ago...

 

My review:

WOW! Wild As a Wolf is a fast paced second chance romance with bite. Hale and Karissa have survived dysfunctional families, turning super natural and 10 years apart but they have never stopped loving one another. Now once again they are in the same place, have resolved unanswered questions about their separation all they have to do is survive the big bad that is determined to kill them. This book kept me flipping pages and praying for them. I LOVED IT!

Wrench (Rolling Thunder MC Birmingham Book 6) by Candace Blevins


 


 

Blurb:

A motorcycle club kinky daddy paranormal romance…

Wrench
 recently moved to the Birmingham RTMC chapter from Mobile after his sister went through a nasty breakup and needed him. He’s good friends with Khan, who has more house than he needs, and who welcomed both Wrench and his sister to live with him.

The nearest neighbor is two hundred yards away, but with the help of his werewolf hearing, Wrench hears a ruckus, goes to investigate, and finds an all-girls party happening with an unwelcome male guest. He runs the asshole off, and his neighbor invites him to hang out for the rest of the party.

Tori, short for Victoria, long ago stopped using her trust fund, and eschewed society and all forms of materialism. She lived without electricity for so long after the battle, now that it’s finally restored, she still doesn’t have it. Her small house is paid for, and she makes enough money finishing sheetrock a few weeks a year to pay for the food she can’t grow or kill. No attachments, no outside responsibilities, and that’s the way she likes it.

Until the biker from next door comes into her life and throws everything upside down. How does he know she’s always wanted a daddy, but is too scared to let one all the way into her life? And how does he manage to do just that before she even realizes he has?

 

My review:

This is not your fluffy, sweet occasional otk spanking DD/lg age play romance.

Once again Candace Blevins takes a trope and sets it on its ear.

Wrench is not your typical DD. Besides being a bitten werewolf he has a bit of a sadist in him that I wasn’t prepared for. It hit me harder than the brutality of Khan and Tempe. I loved Tori she is learning who she is and who she wants to be. Watching her on her journey made this book worth the read.

Witches Get Stuff Done (Starfall Point #1) by Molly Harper


 


 

Blurb:

Juggling newfound witchy powers, a house full of ghosts, and verbal battles with the handsome local librarian is almost too much for a new witch to manage. A new witch with a coven, however, can get so much more done...

From the moment Riley Everett set foot in Starfall Point, magic bubbled inside of her. But with only her late aunt's journals and a cantankerous live-in ghost butler to instruct her on all things witchy—including her newly inherited Victorian haunted house—Riley seeks out a coven for sisterhood and support. The last person she expects to be drawn to is the town's frustrating, yet ridiculously attractive head librarian.

Edison Held knows almost everything there is to know about Starfall Point, but Shaddow House was always off-limits, thanks to its elusive owner. If he can convince the new owner, Riley, to let him take a peek inside, there's so much he could learn. But as he gets closer to Riley, he's fascinated by her dazzling wit and fiery spirit. Edison will do whatever he can to help Riley keep her family legacy alive, especially if it means spending more time with the captivating new witch in town.

 

My review:

Witches Get Stuff Done is a delightful first in what is sure to be hilarious set of tales from Starfall Point. From inauspicious beginnings to barely holding her own Riley is sure to make you laugh and gigglesnort. She takes whatever life hands her and makes it work for her. I really got a kick out of this tale and look forward to the next adventure.
