Featured Series - Sylvan City Alphas - Reina Torres



Have you read any of this author’s amazing books yet?  If not, I highly recommend you start with the Sylvan City Alphas series.  These books take those hot alpha males that we love to drool over (Come on admit it, you know you drool over these guys.  Okay, I know I drool over these guys) and highlights their soft gooey centers.  You know the one that we hope to find in every gorgeous single guy we meet.  (Or is it just me???)  Ms Torres brings a real mashup with these books, as they include some of our favorite collections.  There is a Howls Romance, oh yeah, you know this could happen in real life, well minus the shifter part, (Darn!  That is one of the best parts!), two from Milly Taiden’s PDA world, I just love Gerri, classy and strong with a undeniable knack for matching couples up perfectly, and one from the BAD Alpha Dads, I always love to see these hard alpha males turn to mush when it comes to their kids.  I am not sure of the release date, Ms Torres has only teased us with the thought that they will be releasing in 2020, but she is actually going to be adding two more books, from the BAD Alpha Dads collection, to this series.  I can’t wait!!! 

You guys are going to want to start this series from the beginning before those new books hit the Kindle.  Just click on any of the images or links below to go out to Amazon and grab your copy today!

Happy Reading

The Tiger’s Innocent Bride:  Howls Romance (Sylvan City Alphas book 1)
Published to Amazon on January 9, 2018
Author Reina Torres




When he saw his mate for the first time, her life was in danger. Keeping his Tiger a secret was no longer an option.

Every day was a struggle for Tiger Shifter, Devlin Kerr. Booted from one Police Department due to his ‘questionable attitude,’ he’d landed in Sylvan City determined to give the career another go. What was an Alpha to do?
Three weeks of even more bull and inside politics was already souring him on law enforcement all together when his Captain suckers him into working extra security at a society event.
A society event that ends in gunfire and blood.
And smack dab in the middle of the crosshairs? His mate.
Secrets be damned, Devlin did what it took to save her and suddenly danger is coming at them from everywhere.
Death, he could handle. Mayhem? Sure, just another walk in the park.
People going after his mate? That wasn’t going to fly. He was going to do whatever it took to keep her safe from danger…
…but who was going to keep Paige Lundin safe from him? Less than a day after they’d met, she was The Tiger’s Innocent Bride.

*This is Book 1 of the Sylvan City Alphas Series. As the series goes on you'll meet Alphas of a number of different species who will find their mates amongst the citizens of this city, complete with lush woods and fields as well as a concrete jungle. These hard-edged heroes and their lusciously-curvy mates are turning this island into a shifter paradise filled with Happy Ever Afters. *




The safety of a mate
What an amazing start to a series!  The author put together this exciting beginning and slowly began to introduce characters we are sure to find in future stories. I love the close knit community, the willingness to rally together and the ability for them to change. I loved this book all of the way to the HEA and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Too Much Too Bear:  Paranormal Dating Agency (Sylvan City Alphas book 2)
Published to Amazon on July 18, 2018
Author Reina Torres




Boone Wayland was a shifter, a problem solver, and a protector, not always in that order. When he decided he wanted to find his mate, there was only one place to go… the Paranormal Dating Agency masterfully run by Gerri Wilder. He’d visited the website in the few minutes that he’d managed to wrest control of his computer from the teenaged shifters he fostered and read a number of her reviews… okay, all of the reviews. He contacted the Agency because it was the boys that he’d been thinking of.

Mostly.

Partly.

Okay, not really.

He wanted a mate.

Hungered to hold her to him, make her smile, lose himself in her eyes and her body for the rest of his life.

But, finding a mate when he had a store to run and a houseful of boys to raise made the traditional model of ‘dating’ nearly impossible.

It seemed like a Hail Mary pass one might make in a sporting game, but if there was one thing Boone didn’t have in his life it was time. So, he picked up the phone and asked Gerri for her special brand of help.


Willa Barnes wanted a family so bad she could almost taste it. The future would be as sweet as the fruit pies that she was known for at her boyfriend’s Diner, and it was all within her grasp.

But that was before Charlie ran off with the hostess at the diner, leaving Willa to watch the shop while he was on his honeymoon in Las Vegas.

Hearing her woeful story, her favorite customer has a crazy idea. It turns out he knows a matchmaker and that feisty matchmaker just might know the perfect man for Willa.

Only, he’s not just a man.

Willa’s fascinated by the idea of meeting a bear shifter, but it’s not just becoming a wife that’s the offer on the table. He’s got a whole bunch of teenaged shifters that are waiting for her too.

Is this ‘insta-family’ just what Willa wants or will the reality of it be Too Much to Bear?




Her big ole teddy bear 
This author does just such a fantastic job of building her characters and making us fall in love with them. From her sweet teddy bear who takes in strays and gives them a new life, to the kind giving woman Gerri pairs him with. Together this pair is an unstoppable duo who build each other and their boys up into the family they are meant to be. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

The Fighter (BAD Alpha Dads) (Sylvan City Alphas book 3)
Published to Amazon on March 20, 2018
Author Reina Torres




The first rule about owning a fight club is it’s no place for kids. Even shifters.
Cage Gamble, a Jaguar Shifter in Sylvan City, owns the first licensed ‘fight club’ where men and shifters could fight in the ring or the cage. It was a good life, some work and a lot of play, until he was called to England to take custody of his best friend’s daughter. Her father’s sudden passing left her in Cage’s care. He could handle a berserk bear shifter or a gorilla full of rage with one hand, but a moody teenage lioness? Not so much.
Just when he was nearly ready to string himself up from the nearest light post and jump, his old commanding officer throws him a lifeline.
Maggie Fordice, the Colonel’s once rebellious daughter, is all grown up and moving home to Sylvan City. On paper she was just what he needed, a teen-whisperer. But up close and very personal, she was also what he didn’t need. Whip smart and voluptuous, she was a woman who could send him up in flames with a look or a wiggle.
Maggie was ready to light a match and burn his resistance to the ground, even when helping him brought danger to her doorstep. Was Cage going to fight what he felt for the fiery woman who lived across the street? Or was he going to fight for what they could have… everything?




Fighting to win
This book has so many layers, a woman who fought her way back from self-destruction, a girl fighting to come to terms with the loss of her parents, and the alpha male fighting to bring his family together. The author really surpassed the challenge of the Bad Alpha Dads and brought us this book that had so many realistic qualities that I could see the film play in my head. I loved the return of old characters and the introduction of new ones and the exciting story that brought us to the HEA. I can’t wait until the next time the author takes us back to Sylvan City, I’m sure it will be memorable.

Bear His Mark:  Paranormal Dating Agency (Sylvan City Alphas book 4)
Published to Amazon on July 23, 2019
Author Reina Torres




Hollis Kent has been the dutiful heir to the Black Hills Bears, but even her own father has decided that his patience is coming to an end. Hollis is a bear shifter unable to shift, and to keep her place in the line of succession with her clan, she must find her mate. She’s met more than her share of shifters who were eager to make a match, but no one came close to capturing her interest or stirring anything within her.

That’s when she went to the Paranormal Dating Agency and put her future into the hands of Gerri Wilder.

Conor Hill has seen other shifters around him find their mates and discover the happiness that seems just out of his reach. His neighbor, Boone Wayland, found his own mate through the Agency and lives an idyllic life. He’s been a soldier and shed more blood than he’d care to admit. Can he find a mate who would bind herself to him and soothe his wild soul?




You have to believe
If you have never taken a trip to Sylvan City this is a great book to go with. Every time this author takes us on a road trip to Sylvan City, we get to hook up with old friends and make new ones. I love this book! I love how she is sure that he is her mate, but is afraid that she isn’t enough for him. The author has made him equally as wonderful because she is all that he wants. With devotion like that you just know the HEA is going to be epic. I can’t wait to read what happens next in Sylvan City! When every book gets better and better you just know it’s going to be awesome.

Who would have thought that I'd start off as a painfully shy child writing stories and end up as a painfully shy adult writing books and publishing them for others to read? Crazy? That's me!!

When I was a little girl, I read every book I could get my hands on and if I didn't have one available to read, I'd get out my pencils and paper and write down stories and scenes. Waiting for my mom to finish working, I'd duck into the ladies' breakroom and use the typewriter. I'd feel like Jessica Fletcher, happily tap, tap, tapping away until I got to 'The End.' Couldn't quite get the flourish after that and end up tearing the paper, but it was cool and scary to sit down and read the book or give it to my friends to read.

Now my 'typewriter' doesn't clack the same way and the I don't even have paper to pull out of it with a nod of satisfaction, but I have the joy and excitement of sharing my characters and books with people all around the world!

I hope you'll enjoy reading my books, because I'm going to keep writing as long as the characters are feeling chatty!
