Book Birthday – Dealer’s Choice – Susan Hayes




Dealer’s Choice (The Drift book 10)

Published to Amazon on July 28, 2020

Author Susan Hayes

Amazon



New game. New rules. One choice.

One bad decision plunged cyborg batch-brothers Victor and Ward into a nightmare they barely survived. Now, they're reclaiming their lives and trying to move forward, but it's a battle they can't win alone. Helping them let go of the past is a beautiful doctor with a soft heart and hard rules about never getting involved with her patients.

Dr. Xori Virness is everything an unmated Pheran female isn't supposed to be - independent, determined, and light years away from her home and family. Her life was just the way she wanted it. Then, two dark and dangerous men with battle-scarred psyches flew into her orbit, laying waste to her plans and tempting her to break her own rules.

When old enemies return with a new target, the brothers will have to make a choice. Surrender to the past, or fight for their future.



Official published review:

Drifting together

What an exciting story! It gave me all of those feel good vibes, umm two gorgeous cyborgs, yum, falling all over themselves for that one special lady. Need I say more? I love that the author kept me right on the edge of my seat with the professional conflict, the bad guys who always try to ruin everything, and the family strength factor. This book is a fantastic addition to the Drift series and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

Book Birthday – Alien Paladin’s Redemption – Mina Carter




Alien Paladin’s Redemption (Warriors of the Lathar book 13)

Published to Amazon on July 28, 2020

Author Mina Carter

Amazon



She knew aliens existed. She didn’t expect them to be so damn HOT!

Indra has survived the worst human society can throw at her. Being rescued by aliens was the last thing she expected.

Now a guest of the latharian empire, she’s looking forward to eating her bodyweight in chocolate cake and creating her very own army out of the ship’s cleaning bots. What she didn’t expect was a stuffed-shirt paladin of a second officer, or the fact she’d find his freaky level of control so fascinating and sexy.

Sent on a ‘road trip’ to recover an experimental artificial intelligence unit, she’s stuck in a shuttle with her by the book, alien warrior. Determined to get under his skin, she discovers that beneath all that controlled restraint, her alien paladin is the sexiest alpha hero…

Can she play the game, without losing her heart? Or will she succumb to the passion of her alien paladin?


He seeks redemption for his sins. Love and a mate are not on the cards…

An atoned warrior with the scars of his shame marked in his skin, Nyek S’Vaan doesn’t expect to be anything more than a garrison officer somewhere in the outer reaches. Until a surprise assignment on the empire’s newest war cruiser brings him in contact with rare human females.

They are as fascinating as they are beautiful, even if one, Indra, drives him to distraction. When she is almost killed aboard, desperate measures are called for. A top-secret mission gets the humans away from the ship but then puts them in danger from pirates.

When Indra is taken, Nyek must face the shame of his past. He must face his demons and be prepared to kill to bring back the woman he loves, even if it means sacrificing himself in the process…



Official published review:

Blessings from the lady

This warrior might be considered a Vesh by the Lathar, but the author has proven he is a paladin that Charlemagne would have made one of his twelve. I love his deep devotion and steadfastness, and especially the way one quirky little human holds his heart. This book has to be one of my favorites from the series. The characters are fantastic, the storyline has every element of action and danger that make a story amazing, and the emotions are off the charts. I was rooting for this couple during the entire book and may have cried a few times as they struggled towards their HEA. I can’t wait to see what happens with the other couples, I hope the author takes pity on us and doesn’t make us wait too long.

Mina was born and raised in the East Farthing of Middle Earth (otherwise known as the Midlands, England) and spend her childhood learning all the sorts of things generally required of a professional adventurer. Able to ride, box, shoot, make and read maps, make chainmail and use a broadsword (with varying degrees of efficiency) she was disgusted to find that adventuring is not considered a suitable occupation these days.

So, instead of slaying dragons and hunting vampires and the like, Mina spends her days writing about hot shifters, government conspiracies and vampire lords with more than their fair share of RAWR. Turns out wanna-be adventurers have quite the turn of imagination after all...

(But she keeps that sword sharp, just in case the writing career is just a dream and she really *is* an adventurer.)

The boring part: A full time author, photographer and cover artist, Mina can usually be found hunched over a keyboard or graphics tablet, frantically trying to get the images and words in her head out and onto the screen before they drive her mad. She's addicted to coffee and would like to be addicted to chocolate, but unfortunately chocolate dislikes her.

Mammoth

 

I swore an oath; to protect not only the club, but the woman in charge. She never knew the way I felt about her, not that I had a chance.

 

After Dog was killed she moved on with the fresh blood in the club.

 

I hated it, but I had to accept it. After all, when Gamble made up her mind there wasn’t anyone who’d make her think otherwise.

 

A bit of time has come and gone and we’re facing bigger threats than we ever did before. We knew of some enemies and now more are coming out of the woodwork. A few are trying to have Baltimore be where they build their empires. They’re simple turf wars, shit we can handle.

 

But one enemy is someone we weren’t expecting. They knew a secret we kept hidden very well, the paternity of Gamble’s daughter.

 

There are rules in this life, and you just don’t cross some. Well, our enemies didn’t care. They crossed it, and now the youngest person in our charter might not make it through.

 

They were supposed to rely on me. How can they do that now?

 

The better question is — how will anyone ever be able to again?

Wordy Wednesday - My Champion - Alanea Alder





My Champion (Bewitched and Bewildered book 7)

Published to Amazon on December 27, 2016

Author Alanea Alder

Amazon



Declan Lionhart has been running interference between the Founding Families and the citizens of Noctem Falls since the day he arrived in the city. His hopes of being a simple unit warrior crumbles in the face of their troubles and it looks like he will always be bound by his family’s political legacy. But with current tensions skyrocketing to unimaginable levels, Declan’s laid back persona and easy smile are needed now more than ever.

Kari Delaney has finally achieved everything she’s ever wanted. The business she created from scratch is booming and she has her dream custom built condo in the heart of the small town where she was raised. But all that changes the day she gets her evacuation notice.

Despite being a vampire, Kari hates Noctem Falls and the politics that permeates every aspect of life within the city. Under protest she and her younger brother leave for the City of the Night.

Declan is smitten with his little general and the strength she exudes. But when it’s just the two of them he begins to break down her carefully constructed walls and shows her that even though he’s easy going, he is still an Alpha, and his lion is demanding her heart.

When the entire city erupts into chaos with matings being dissolved and Founding Families making alliances, Declan realizes it will take every trick he learned at his father’s knee to maneuver through the murky political waters swirling around them. Both he and his mate race against time to keep the people of the city safe, despite homesick children, disastrous dinners, Meryn’s wacky revenge plans and an unexpected pairing.



Official published review:

I love a lion shifter

I truly enjoy how this series is filled with family, both blood and chosen. The support shown by all of the characters is another of my favorite parts. Through in some Meryn moments, the baby boom and the ever-building story line and I am all in. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Book Aversary – Fury – Laurann Dohner




Did you know that yesterday was the anniversary of one of my favorite series starters?  Laurann Dohner’s Fury was first published on July 27, 2011 (according to Goodreads).  This book has had three covers, the current cover that we know and love, the original cover, and even a French version cover.  The one thing all three of these covers have in common is the chest porn theme.  Yummy.



This book continues to be one of my go to reads when I am overwhelmed with the new release options and I just need to relax with a familiar, dog eared friend.  You guys can gasp in shock all you want, but yes, I am a faithful corner folder.  Well, not so much anymore since I usually leave the paperbacks decorating my bookshelves and grab my IPad mini with my Kindle app.

 

I truly love this book, it was the book that stated my love of all things Laurann Dohner and it solidified her as one of my one-click authors.  I love all of the characters and the action, danger and excitement that she just makes jump off of the pages.  This series might have reached a total of fifteen books, so far, but I truly hope she continues with the series.  There are so many New Species that I still need to know that they find their HEAs.  I am looking right at you Jericho and Brass, and how about those ladies?  Breeze needs to get her task force man after putting up with all the nonsense those Species males get up to.

 

Well no matter how long it takes, I will continue to read and love this book along with the rest of the series.  If you have not already grabbed a copy I highly recommend that you do.  You will not be disappointed and might find yourself a new staunch supporter of the New Species and their perfect mates.

 

Happy Reading

Sydney

P.S.  I am going to give away a free US copy of the ebook to a lucky reader who comments on my Facebook or Instagram posts, see below for details.



Fury (New Species book 1)

Published to Amazon on September 7, 2016

Author Laurann Dohner

Amazon



*** THIS IS A RERELEASE OF A PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED BOOK ***

Ellie is horrified to discover the pharmaceutical company she works for is doing illegal experiments. Company scientists have spliced human and animal DNA, creating exotic new species. One such “experiment” captures her heart and she’ll do anything to save him—even if he hates her for it.

Fury has never known compassion or love. He’s spent his life in a cell, chained and abused by humans. The one woman he allowed himself to trust betrayed him. Now he’s free and set on vengeance. He vows to end her life but when she’s finally in his grasp, harming her is the last thing he wants to do to the sexy little human.

Fury can’t resist Ellie—the touch of her hands, her mouth on his skin, her body wrapped around his. He’s obsessed with the scent of his woman. And Ellie wants Fury—always has. She craves his big, powerful body and wants to heal his desolate heart.

But loving Fury is one thing…taming him is another.



Official published review:

Calming his Fury

The New Species are free, and they will not be chained again. This new series by Laurann Dohner had me invested from page one. I could feel the pain and struggle of the characters when Ellie and Fury first meet, and Ellie’s confusion and hurt when they reconnect after a misunderstanding. The growth of all of the New Species is such that you know there will be many books to follow. Love and true affection grow throughout the story and before the end I found myself backing Ellie and Fury as if I was truly there. I can’t wait to see which New Species will find their lasting love and happiness next.

NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author

I'm a full-time wife, mother, and author. I've been lucky enough to have spent over two decades with the love of my life and look forward to many, many more years with Mr. Laurann. I'm addicted to iced coffee, the occasional candy bar (or two), and trying to get at least five hours of sleep at night.

I love to write all kinds of stories. I think the best part about writing is the fact that real life is always uncertain, always tossing things at us that we have no control over, but when writing you can make sure there's always a happy ending. I love that about being an author. My favorite part is when I sit down at my computer desk, put on my headphones to listen to loud music to block out everything around me, so I can create worlds in front of me.

Pack Rule #4: Guard your pups with your life

 

We hooked up one night at Cody’s Saloon.

The beautiful nurse wanted a ride and I’d given it to her.

Made her scream and sent her home happy.

She didn’t tell me there’d been consequences.

She’d kept her secret close. For months.

But what she didn’t know could change everything.

That baby she carried wasn’t human.

And this wolf would never walk away from his pup.

She may not want me in her life, but that was too bad.

I was moving in—watching over her and providing for my family.

She was under my protection now.

Whether she wanted it or not.

Whether she wanted me or not.

Official published review:

A loss of smell makes this an almost missed opportunity

A bachelorette hookup turns into so much more, and I loved the entire journey.  I love how the authors took this sweet pair and matched them up from the beginning.  But they do what they do best and couldn’t make it so easy on us or the couple.  They filled the pages of the book with so many surprises, what with bad exs, terrible jobs, a surprise bun in the oven, and a fated reconnection that I just couldn’t put the book down.  I enjoyed everything about this story, the couple were perfect for each other and just really fantastic people and the steam did its best to fog up my glasses.  I really hope this writing duo keeps the books coming because I am absolutely in love with the wolves and mates of Wolf Ranch.

But loving him could be the end for both of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Embrace your change

Oh wow!  What an emotional experience.  Wendy has gone through so much in the last few years, when she met Chadler she was due for her own little miracle.  I love the direction the author took this book and the way the characters connected and grew into their relationship.  Like all of her other books, the author kept us on the edge of our seats with those intense moments at every turn.  I enjoyed the overlap from the previous books and yet loved that this book can stand on its own.  I am really enjoying this series and I can’t wait to read the next installment.

Book Birthday - The Vessel – Jenika Snow




The Vessel

Published to Amazon on July 25, 2020

Author Jenika Snow

Amazon



Create an heir or I lose the family business.

The final decree from my father on his deathbed, a millionaire who cared more about his business and money than what his son wanted in life, than if his son was happy.

I had a year to find a woman and convince her to have my baby or I’d lose everything. It was easy enough with the socialites who hung around in hopes I’d be with one of them.

But it would never happen.I wanted a woman for my own, someone I could love, who could see past all my money and wanted me for me and not how I could advance their life. Yet at the end of the day, women only wanted me because I had deep pockets.

But then there was Elise. My employee. A woman who I needed to keep a professional relationship with. I didn’t see her as a means to an end. I saw her as the only woman who sparked life inside me with just a look. The only woman to have ever done that.

I hadn’t desired someone in a long time, hadn’t wanted a woman in my bed for longer than I’d admit.I wanted to say screw it with my fathers demand, and if that meant losing everything, so be it.

But could Elise be the one to give me everything? Happiness, love… a baby?



Official published review:

A story full of heart

What a truly romantic story. The author slowed us down a little with this book keeping my interest and intensity level at an all-time high. I love the characters, especially the loving couple. She is sweet as pie and he has the softest heart hidden behind a facade. The storyline is just so perfect because in the end all they need is love. I really hope the author continues to bring us more books like this. I absolutely loved this slowly growing love and look forward to the next book by the author.
