Iron Lust (Iron Lust #1) by Keely Jakes

Blurb:

Treat Daniels is the newest trainer in The Gym while James Christian has been working there since they opened the doors. The attraction between them is immediate and intense. When James is injured and calls for help, Treat can’t help but respond, which starts a hot and heavy affair. 

Love is in the air as they work with their clients, and each other. The only problem is, James won’t discuss their relationship at The Gym, leaving Treat to wonder if he’ll ever be able to tell the world they’re together. 

Then James takes on a new client who tries her damnedest to come between them. Will she cause a rift they can’t overcome? Will Treat get James to talk about their relationship at work? Or will Treat have to learn to live in the closet with his man?

Settled in with her main guard, Verity has been dazzled by Sithen life and the possibilities of what her world could be and will be when she wins the crown, but life is about to throw her some curveballs she never thought possible. 
Prince of the Lotus Courts, Aziz, is on his way to her Sithen, as well as the Salim household staff that has been scattered to the winds, and of course, the rest of her guard. Knowing this Princess Verity is both ready and excited to receive those that are winging to her aid. 
But with the sweets, come the sour. 
Forces are at work against her and her guard, forces set on both hurting the princess and limiting her guard. Three times she will be tested, three times she will decide if the men she is presented with are worthy of guardship, even with the secrets they hide. 
But when an olive branch is extended from two other courts will Verity accept, or will she choose to navigate the waters of High Court alone? 

Book two of the Sleeping Court Series. 

My review:

m/f, f/f, m/f/m - Reverse Harem

Have you read Slumber (The Sleeping Court Book 1)? If not STOP! Read it first it will help you understand what is going on in book 2 and who everyone is in relation to everyone else.

That being said if you are in the mood for a super sexy reverse harem/fantasy this is the series for you. In the first book Verity discovers her legacy and starts building her court. In this book Verity continues to build her court and her enemies start testing her. This book is a pause on the path and leaves you wanting more.

Between Ice and Frost (Paranormal Dating Agency Book 17) by Milly Taiden

Blurb:

**STANDALONE **

Raven Casino loves solving mysteries. So it was only natural that she take to the Alaskan wild to find her missing friend, Juliet. She is ready to take on the world to figure out where Juliet could be. But she wasn’t expecting to meet not one, but two hunks in the icy small town of Antler, Alaska. These two were so sexy they radiated enough heat to melt the polar ice caps. Hot damn!

Frost and Ice were hired to make sure Raven was safe, but the minute they saw her, they knew she was the missing piece to their triad. Now to explain to her that she was meant to be with them both. Shared by both. And not freak her out. That was going to be harder than stopping her from getting herself killed in their little town.

There’s something going on in Antler and Raven’s out to find out what they’re hiding. With a missing friend and clues at every corner she turns, she’s taking this bull by the horns. The fantasies with Frost and Ice are a side effect of being so close to them, but she’d get over it. Right? Uh… When she solves a puzzle that’s bigger than she realized, it’s going to take two very alpha dragons to keep her alive long enough to get her freak on.

Reader's Note: Like all other Milly books, this is DIRRRRTY, Fun and Action-packed. If you're not into menage, skip this sexy triad. But if you think you can handle these dragons, turn to page one. Enjoy! 

My review:

m/f/m

Between Ice and Frost is a smoking hot ménage. I really liked Raven Casino. She was raised wealthy but is down to earth. She has been unlucky in love so her mother sets her up with Gerri Wilder’s PDA. Gerri sends not 1 but 2 sexy ice dragon shifters her way. This book will make you laugh and sigh. Another fantastic escape.

Hit and Nun (Nun of Your Business Mysteries #2) by Dakota Cassidy

Blurb:

Sister Trixie Lavender here! After a rocky start (read: murdered landlord) to our arrival in Cobbler Cove, OR, things have finally slowed down. Er…mostly. My demon buddy Coop and I, along with our sassy talking owl Livingston, have settled nicely into our newly opened shop, Inkerbelle’s Tattoos. 
We’ve met some awesome people, including new friends Higgs and Knuckles, and we’re forging friendships with our fellow business owners. And sure, we’ve had a few glitches (see Jeff), but we’ve found our groove, our clientele is growing, and everything’s pretty great. 
That is, until Portland’s World Naked Bike Ride finds us smack dab in the middle of another murder mystery! Yep, you read that right. Naked people. On bikes. It ain’t pretty. And even less so when a dead, bare biker lands right on our doorstep. 
But this ex-nun is prepared this time. There’s not going to be any fumbling-around-in-the-dark nonsense for this girl. No, sir. I’ve trained, sacrificed, studied… 
Okay. Not true. I’ve binge-watched a lot of police shows on Netflix. But I’m armchair ready, if nothing else. So ready! 
Now, if only the evil spirit possessing me would let me investigate in peace—and I don’t end up dead in the process. 
Join me, Coop, Livingston, and Higgs for another Nun of Your Business Mystery! 

My review:

Fun, sweet, quirky cozy mystery. Hit and Nun has Inkerbelle’s open and thriving. But when Trixie trips over a naked dead guy things get real interesting real fast. I laughed out loud and gigglesnorted my way through this silly murder mystery.

Love and Other Wild Things (Mystic Bayou #2) by Molly Harper.

Love and Other Wild Things (Mystic Bayou #2) by Molly Harper.  Narrated by Amanda Ronconi & Jonathan Davis

Blurb:

Available in audio first, this hot, hilarious stand-alone will keep you wildly entertained! 

Welcome to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where shape-shifters, vampires, witches, and dragons live alongside humans. The town formed around the mysterious energy rift in the bayou, which helps keep the town’s magic in balance. But lately the rift has been widening and destabilizing - threatening to send the town’s magical population into chaos. 

Energy witch Danica Teel has been sent by the League to figure out what’s going on, with the help of bear-shifter Mayor Zed. While working on the case, Zed falls head over paws for Dani, but she’s reluctant to engage in anything beyond a roll in his cave. Dani’s family is counting on her to get the job done, and she has no time for distractions. But when an ominous presence begins stalking Dani through the bayou, they’ll need to band together to make it out alive.

My review:

Welcome back to Mystic Bayou! This time it is Mayor Zed’s turn to fall.  I adored him in How to Date Your Dragon and was thrilled to see the big ol bear tumble. I love this series. I am always left with a smile on my face and a much lighter heart. I can’t wait to revisit Mystic Bayou again.

The narrators did the story justice and made it come alive.

Twisted Desire by Melanie James

Blurb:

Ethan Lockhart had found his mate, and he wasn’t very happy about it. He didn’t want a mate—didn’t need a mate. The Fates had already messed with his life in ways that had changed everything, and none of it for the better. 
But they just had to go and throw the woman of his dreams in his face—when they knew damn well, thanks to their meddling, he couldn’t claim her. Yeah—he was tired of playing their games, but somehow he would have the last laugh. All he had to do was avoid her, and her mouthwatering scent. 
Camryn Dochart was proud of the life she lived. As the owner of Cam’s diner, she works hard, but never has time to play hard. She longed for a mate. Someone to share her life with. When her mate strolls into her diner, she thought she’d finally get her happily ever after. 
Little did she know, her mate had no intention of giving into the Fates.

My review:

Twisted Desire is a little darker than other books I’ve read by this author. Probably because the hero is an executioner. His job doesn’t exactly allow for a mate and a happily ever after. But the Fates like to mess with you and Ethan more than most. I liked Cam and loved the fact that she was more than strong enough for Ethan. Sometimes love is worth fighting for.
