Demands from the Dominant – Skin Walkers – Susan Bliler

 



Skin Walkers Series

Author Susan Bliler

Amazon



From book 13:

**Book 13 in the Skin Walker series. This book can be read as a standalone.

Grace Rowland is on the run from an abusive ex-boyfriend. Her decision to move on couldn’t have come at a worse time because the blizzard blasting the state has made it impossible for her friend to retrieve her from the small town she’s holed up in. Assured that someone is coming for her, Grace is leery as all hell when a sexy behemoth arrives and claims to be her transportation.

Baymac Southon, Skin Walker Sentry, is pissed at his most recent assignment. Retrieve a human and escort her to the wolf shifters in Glacier? Puh-lease! He’s too damn skilled to be wasting his talents on such a pathetic mission.

Between picking up Grace and getting her through the storm, Baymac’s protective instincts quickly grow to something much stronger. Familiar with Dominant Walker, Monroe StoneCrow’s games, Baymac tries to fight his attraction to the human woman, but when he finds out that she’s going to the wolves so they can find her a mate, feral possessiveness clouds his judgment.

Wolf shifter battles have been scheduled and Grace is the prize. Baymac needs to decide if he’s going to deliver Grace to her awaited fate or keep her for himself.

No cliffhangers
HEA




My pack territory is in Central Montana, between Stone Crow Estates and the North Fortress. Born and raised in an untamed location that bridges the gap between rolling prairies and majestic mountain peaks, I am born to a family that also bridges the gap between cultures.

My father's people boast a fiercely proud Scandinavian ancestry while my mother's tribes descend from two savagely beautiful and unique nations (White Clay and Nakoda) that inspire my Skin Walker series.

I'm a huge fan of MMA, boxing, 30 Seconds to Mars, DMX, Nahko and Medicine for the People, and 21 Pilots ("...sometimes quiet is violent"). I also love to read because it encourages me to write. (I hate it when authors add that they love coffee and chocolate. Really? Who doesn't love coffee and chocolate?) Anyway, I love beer...kidding. I don't love beer, but we are engaged in a very serious relationship. (Mom, please don't call me when you read this.)

Please leave feedback....well, only if it's positive. "Keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my sh*t! (Erykah Badu lyrics!)

Wordy Wednesday – Creed – Laurann Dohner

 



Creed (VLG Series book 8)

Published to Amazon on August 29, 2017

Author Laurann Dohner

Amazon



Angel was whisked away from a life of abuse as a child when a guardian angel flew her in his arms and gave her to a Lycan couple to raise and love as their own. It was inevitable that she developed feelings for her elusive savior, the GarLycan who protects her pack. As she matured, those feelings deepened to something more after spending time with him, only to be rebuffed by her hero. Dejected, Angel left the pack, moving away to distance herself from the pain. Now, years later, her mother has called her home. Their pack guardian is in need…

Creed is emotionally distant and cold. He’s had to become that way to survive his harsh life. His one weakness is Angel. She deserves a happy life, something that he can’t give her. He was born into servitude and isn’t allowed to take a mate. But, every thirty years he goes into one night of heat. The ravage is upon him, and Angel is determined to be there for him. He’ll take her to his lair, chain her down, and finally be able to touch her…

Creed and Angel soon discover their one night of bliss has dangerous consequences.



Official published review:

Just out of reach

Oh wow! I’m not sure how the author manages to keep coming up with these amazing concepts, but this book sure manages to hit all of the marks. Creed and Angel have been through the emotional wringer, but the created such a wonderful path for us to travel on the way to their HEA. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with 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.

Official published review:

Stories sure to heat up your evening

What an amazing collection of stories by some of my favorite PNR authors! Each one is full of characters that I just couldn't help falling in love with, and stories that I just couldn't put down. At the end of each book, I couldn't wait to see what the next author had in store for me. This is one collection of books that I am sure to read again and again.

Rearranging Fate - Roxanne Witherell
Fate is what you make it
This story is a fantastic addition to the anthology! I loved the strength in Shayla and the way she stood up for how she wanted her life to go. And Jaxon is her perfect partner, a strong alpha who leads with his heart but is not afraid to use force when he needs to. The author kept me on the edge of my seat with the action and danger as Shayla struggled for her independence and I couldn't wait to see how the story ended. But man was I sad to see it end. I don't know what the author has in store for us next, but I would love to see Onyx get a story of his own.
5 stars

Shadow’s Laughter - Margo Bond Collins
Shadow knows, or thinks she does anyway
This book is a fast paced read and fits perfectly with the anthology. I enjoyed the characters and the way Shadow accepted a change in thinking once she realized how important Jeremiah was to her. The author kept the story moving with plenty of action and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
4 stars

Doubly Claimed - C.D. Gorri
Just the right amount of bling
This book is the perfect foray into a touch of the forbidden! The author took the anthology by storm with dominant alpha males, even tempered omegas, snarky sassy mates and a vacation getaway that had me enthralled from the very beginning. I love the authors descriptions of the characters, I could imagine everything as if I was there, and I also enjoyed the overlapping journeys for the sisters and a hint of more books to come. This book is a quick read that was worth every minute of my time. I can’t wait to read the next book by this author.
5 stars

Marked by her Dragon - Julia Mills
Home to the one he loves
This book was over way too soon! I enjoyed the way the cousins bantered back and forth, and the way Macy and her besty were together. The author kept the story interesting with plenty of action and danger, and the emotions were at an all time high with the perfect ending. I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from the author.

Book Birthday – Hunting Season – Kate Rudolph

 



Hunting Season:  Werewolf Bodyguard Romance (Guarded by the Shifter book 1)

Published to Amazon on April 5, 2021

Author Kate Rudolph

Amazon



This werewolf will protect his mate.

Owen has one job: keep Stasia from being abducted. Easier said than done when his fiercely independent client tries to fire him the moment they meet. His werewolf senses howl to life and he's certain of one thing: Stasia is his.

She's sick of cocky men.

When her wealthy father hires a bodyguard, Stasia says no. Not exactly a smart move after someone tried to nab her off the street. But she doesn't need a babysitter. Especially not a cheerfully overbearing bodyguard who makes her heart pound and her fantasies run wild.

When Stasia is yanked out of her glittering world and into Owen's she'll need to grapple with an impossible new reality that includes werewolves, silver bullets, and fated mates.

Is she ready to embrace her new world? Or will she run back to a universe of glittering high rises and leave her destiny behind?

Step into the world of Guarded by the Shifter where a team of ex-military bodyguards are also werewolves and fated mates are just one job away.



Official published review:

Bitten by the love bug

I fell in love with this book from the very beginning. The author gave us these fantastic characters with strong personalities, hearts full of love, and chemistry galore. I enjoyed the connection between this couple and the relationship that grows between them. And the way they were open to each other’s families warmed my heart. The author kept the danger high intensity and the glimpses we saw of the pack left me thirsting for more. This book is a phenomenal series starter and I can’t wait to read the next installment.

Sydney’s Stars – Anna and the Alien – Honey Phillips

 



Anna and the Alien:  A SciFi Alien Romance (Alien Abduction book 1)

Published to Amazon on September 25, 2018

Author Honey Phillips

Amazon



Anna Elliott wanted to get away. But an alien spaceship was not on the itinerary.

All Anna needed was a calm, relaxing vacation. Instead, she finds herself enslaved aboard an alien spacecraft and forced to help an injured prisoner—a huge, golden-skinned warrior. Even wounded, he arouses her in ways she’s never known. But if he dies, so does she.

When the spaceship crashes on a strange planet, she must put her trust in him to survive. But the passion he stirs in her may cause her to lose her heart as well.

Jakkar is a Sardoran mercenary searching desperately for a new planet to replace his dying home world. He never expected to be injured, captured, and then shipwrecked. Forbidden to mate outside his species, he can’t help but be tempted by Anna’s curvy body and her caring heart.

Now he’s responsible for the small group of survivors—and the luscious little human he’s determined to claim as his own.

Can a girl and her alien find happiness on a deserted planet at the far end of the galaxy?

Each book in the Alien Abduction series features a different couple and can be enjoyed as a standalone romance.




Official published review:

Save him, save yourself

There are so many layers to this story to enjoy, the kidnapped lady, the kidnappers, the unknown bad guy, the wounded captive, and the stolen human. I love, love, love that the author was able to weave them all together into this fantastic story that I didn’t want to put down. With each turn of the page I was drawn deeper into this fantastic tale and became more invested in the outcome. Now that it’s over, I’m reluctant to close the book because I feel like a piece of the story will stay with me, and yet I’m so ready to see what happens with the next warrior. This book is sure to be a re-read, and I can only hope the next book is just as amazing.

Honey wrote and illustrated her first book at the tender age of 5. Her writing has improved since then. Her drawing skills, unfortunately, have not. She loves writing, reading, traveling, cooking, and drinking champagne - not necessarily in that order.

Her steamy science fiction stories focus on hot alien warriors and the Earth women they can't resist. From abductions to invasions, the ride might be rough, but the end always satisfies.

Book Birthday – Shadow Dreams – C.D. Gorri

 



Crimson Moon Hideaway:  Shadow Dreams

Published to Amazon on April 1, 2021

Author C.D. Gorri

Amazon



Sometimes dreams lead to more than we could ever imagine…

Descended from a forgotten line of Donas de Fuera, Shadow Capelli’s dreams are about to go up in flames. With bills to pay, no money coming in, and a clinic full of injured and unwanted animals, Fang & Claw Rescue Center is doomed.

The non-profit animal rehab and reserve is in danger of imminent foreclosure, but Shadow can’t use her powers to save it without upsetting the balance of magic. When the bank manager suggests she pay off her debt with him, she balks.

Shadow is out of time. She needs money. Fast. With the Crimson Moon Hideaway just a short drive down the road, she decides to try her luck in the infamous casino. What has she got to lose?

Diego Manuel’s inner Otter is gnawing at him to find a mate. Territorial and often ornery, his Boar tends to get in trouble whenever he runs into another Otter raft. But where else can he find an eligible female?

With his beast more anxious than ever, Diego decides what he needs is some relaxation. And what better place to get it than the Crimson Moon Hideaway?



Official published review:

A dream is a wish

This might just be one of my favorite books out of Crimson Moon Hideaway yet! I love the interesting super natural species, the otter is rarely used as a shifter and I can’t say I’ve ever read about this kind of witch before, and the characters were fantastic. I especially enjoyed Shadow’s helpers, they were fun, loyal and dependable, exactly what Shadow needed. Shadow herself is a force to be reckoned with and I love how the author brought her true self to life. Diego is just as eye catching and the perfect mate for Shadow’s fiery nature. The story was interesting and fast-paced with the perfect ending. Overall it was a wonderful addition to the collection and I can’t wait to see what the author thinks up next.

Paranormal Security and Intelligence Ops Shadow Agents: Part of the Immortal Ops World

Paranormal Security and Intelligence Operative and Shadow Agent Gram Campbell is not having a great year. So far this alpha-male wolf-shifter has had his heart and his body broken. Is he beyond repair, or will his destined mate bring much-needed healing to the man and the wolf within?



Official Published Review:

Meant to be a family

Whenever I pick up a book from this series I just know it’s going to be the best of both worlds and a book that I can’t put down. The characters in this one are amazing, a blending of characters I already love and new ones that touch my heart. Bill, Gus and the twins have brought their slapstick humor, mischief, and mayhem to the journey wreaking havoc and breaking hearts along the way. The outcasts and Armand have come together to be there when they are needed most and Gram finds what he needs to be whole. I love that Gram gives Amelia the chance to find the strength she has always had and the courage to use it. This book is full of the excitement and danger I have come to expect from this series and makes me anxious to read the next one. It’s sure to be every bit as good as the rest and I can’t wait!
