Book Birthday - My Warrior - Alanea Alder




My Warrior (Bewitched and Bewildered book 12)

Published to Amazon on August 25, 2020

Author Alanea Alder

Amazon



Ari Lionhart is the youngest warrior in Èire Danu, yet despite his lack of years, he is trusted by the queen’s consort Brennus to act as the unit leader for every unit in the fae city. He works hard at balancing his life between being a unit warrior and being a Lionhart, and secretly fears he is failing at both. With a genius politician for a father and two older brothers that are shining examples of what it means to be a warrior and an Elder, how can he possibly try to do both with any degree of success.
When their city unexpectedly faces tragedy after tragedy, and a vote of No Confidence is brought before the queen on how these things are being handled, and Ari finds himself facing his greatest fear, failure.
Brie Wilson has been a Deputy Sheriff in Monroe for years. She loves the small town of her birth and the laid back atmosphere that makes it a wonderful and safe place to live. But even small towns have their own quirks and problems. Outside a few exceptions at the station, she pushes daily for her efforts to be recognized by the men on the force. Still smarting over her last break up where her ex likened her to a man, she decides the safest route is to stick to herself and never get her heart broken again.
When these two selfless warriors find one another can they learn to lean on one another before the body count escalates? What does it say about them when it’s easier to face murder than the deepening feelings they have for one another.


Official published review:

An unexpected hero

The plot thickens as another warrior finds his mate. I love how the characters continue to interact with each other, and the sharp inquisitive minds that are slowly unraveling the source of the danger. The author maintained the intensity we have seen throughout the series sprinkled with those moments of comic relief I have come to expect when dealing with Meryn. This book was worth every minute that I had to wait for the author to write it. Hopefully the next book won’t be too far off because with an ending like this one I just know it’s going to be amazing!

A Man In Control. A Lost Soul. One Last Chance.

Capone

As President of the Royal Bastards MC, Los Angeles Chapter, I have enemies everywhere. They'll use anything and anyone to exploit me. Regardless, only one person has ever brought me to my knees. Danyella.

My Bella.

Her emerald green eyes captured my soul the moment we looked at each other. I constantly watch her and the light in her eyes is fading. Her laughter and smiles all but gone. I realize that my enemies have found my kryptonite. She's become their pawn, and there's only one way to get her back.

Revenge.

Danyella

The first time I heard his deep, raspy voice, it sent chills down my spine. He called me, "My Bella." If only he knew how much those two words crushed me. Derek is lethal. He's ruthless and he can never know what I've done to protect his Club and my heart. The struggle to climb out of the hole I buried myself in is real. I've been slowly sinking into the shadows, trying to find a way into the light again, but all I see is darkness all around me with no way out.

Throwback Thursday – Tempting the Tiger – Sennah Tate

 



As you guys know, I 100% judge a book by it’s cover.  Obviously, that is not the only thing that draws me to select a book, but if a cover calls to me and it’s the right genre I am probably adding it to my Kindle app.  This book was no different.  My eyes kept being drawn to this guys face, well and I am a fan of big cat shifters, so it was really a no brainer.  I am sad to admit that I picked up this little gem, and all of the series, what can I say! They called to me, which is free on Amazon at the moment, in July and only just got around to reading it.  And then to add insult to injury, I realized this little beauty has been waiting for me since November of 2015.  How did I miss such a fantastic read!

Thank goodness for Throwback Thursday!  I was scrolling through my Need to Read folder and once again this face called to me.  Wow!  His face might have called me in, but the story insured that I stayed.  I love the intrigue and the fact that these 2 both have a secret to keep.  The author did such a fantastic job of pushing this tiger who was already on the fence into the side of right.  The dynamics between these 2 characters made for some laughs as well as some tearful moments.  You know all of those elements that mean you are engrossed in a fantastic romance novel.  My only complaint was that the ending was a little abrupt, I mean the couple totally got their HEA, but it was all high intensity and then Bam! it’s over.  But not to worry, the next book is all ready, with another hot cover and an equally amazing story waiting for you to grab and find out more about the characters and the library.

This book is a definite re-read for me.  I am already anticipating the end of the series and the ability to read it all over again.  I think you will enjoy this book and every one that follows after it.  It’s perfect for a beach or weekend read.

Happy Reading

Sydney



Tempting the Tiger (Palm Haven Shifters book 1)

Published to Amazon on November 6, 2015

Author Sennah Tate

Amazon



Sarah is more than just a curvy, book-obsessed librarian… she’s a lady with secrets. Magical secrets that cannot be revealed, especially to the sexy new Director of her beloved library. She’s got way too much going on in her life to be checking out the boss, much less investigating the strange phone calls he keeps getting that he won't explain…

Sloan has a few furry secrets of his own -- shifting into a tiger, for instance -- but he can’t seem to keep anything from Sarah. The sexy little witch stirs his imagination and fills his dreams. With a lot of flirting and a little time, Sloan’s pretty damn sure he’ll lure Sarah into his bed.

 

Suddenly Sloan’s loyalties are thrown into question when the interests of the pack involve Sarah’s destruction, and time quickly becomes his enemy. All he wants is to get Sarah to take her hair down, show her how good it can feel to let loose…

Only Sloan might be the one to lose his tightly-held control, and it just might spell disaster for his clan… or his love.

Note: Although best enjoyed together, each book in the Palm Haven Shifters series are completely stand-alone romance novellas, each with their own very satisfying HEA!



Official published review:

Get a grip

This was the first book I’ve read by this author, and I enjoyed every minute of the experience. I love the characters, she spent so much time building them and intimately weaving them into the story, that I really felt connected with the outcome. Throughout the book there was an intensity that kept driving me to read another page, and made the ending bittersweet. I was so invested in the story, that the ending felt rather abrupt. But this couple reached their hard fought HEA and now I desperately need to read the next book to see what happens with the guardians of the library.

Book Birthday – Conall’s Mate – C.D. Gorri

 



Conall’s Mate:  A Macconwood Pack Novel (The Macconwood Pack Novel Series book 6)

Published to Amazon on September 1, 2020

Author C.D. Gorri

Amazon



"She was just another assignment, but what happens to this cocky Werewolf when she turns out to be so much more?"

Conall Truman loved being single. As one of the Alpha's Wolf Guard he had plenty of danger and excitement in his life. And when the need called for it, he had his pick of names in his little black book to satisfy any carnal cravings.

Of course, finding a wingman was getting harder and harder with all his buddies getting mated. Even his own Wolf was starting to get ideas about finding a female, but he put the brakes on that train of thought. And fast!

Being tied down to one woman was simply not for him. But fate has other ideas when he's assigned to rescue a Wolf from another Pack and she turns out to be more than just an important dignitary.

Imagine his shock when the fiery woman with the curvaceous body and sassy mouth that was just begging to be kissed doesn’t want to be mated? This confirmed bachelor is finally willing to change his status if she'll have him.

Elia Spark needs sanctuary from her domineering, and possibly criminally insane cousin. The search for the High Alpha has begun and her cousin will stop at nothing to tip the odds in his favor. Including forcing her to marry him. Can you say ick?

Fleeing her home is the only way to save herself, but she wasn’t counting on meeting her mate in a cocky Werewolf with spiked blonde hair and a body that was too tempting for words.

The bad boy might be her fated mate, but Elia was done cowering to the men in her life. If this Wolf Guard wanted her, he was going to have to work for it.

Find out if Conall gets his mate in this next installment of the Macconwood Pack Novel Series!


Official published review:

Turning the tables

The author took this confirmed bachelor on a wild ride when he was sent to escort a male wolf to safety.  I love how the author did not make it easy for him and gave him a feisty mate who has rightfully had enough of the male species.  This book is the perfect follow up to the last book and I loved every minute of the twists and turns along the way to another HEA.  I can see myself re-reading this book for no other reason then the sheer joy in a story well written.  I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the rest of her wolves and to find out who will wear the crown of the high king.

When Imani meets J'are, she accidentally claims him as her own.
But can he protect her from the most dangerous threat of all...
The beast which lives within him?

Imani is a crusader for justice. After a tragic event in her family, she has sworn to fight for those who are unjustly accused and imprisoned. So when she is asked to go to another planet and fight for the rights of a Kindred warrior who is scheduled for execution, she jumps at the chance. But there's one problem--he's a Nightwalker Kindred, a species so dangerous even the other Kindred shun them. Imani is fearless and determined to free her new client but what happens when she accidentally claims him as her own?

J'are has been locked in the hole for so long that his feral side has completely taken over. When he is brought into court, he's no better than a snarling, snapping animal, ready to tear out the throat of anyone who comes too close. But when he sees Imani, things change. He's dreamed of her--dreamed of her beautiful dark eyes and gentle voice and he knows she's the female for him. But enemies surround them and Imani is being attacked from every side by deadly forces she knows nothing about. Can J'are protect her from the death threats? And can he protect her from the most dangerous enemy of all--his wild feral side who is intent on bonding her to him for life?

You'll have to read Unleashed by the Defender to find out...

Author's note--there's a tiny bit of dub-con here so if you are easily upset, please be aware and read responsibly. Thank you!



Official published review:

Shining in the light

This author continues to impress me with her fantastically vivid imagination.  I have lost count of how many books she has written about the Kindred, but each one is new and fresh with characters that capture my attention and dangerous scenarios that lead to HEAs.  This book brings us a new kind of Kindred that is feared even by his brethren and, yet he can be tamed by the feisty dynamo that is his lawyer, and his mate.  The heat is on in this book and I loved every fantastic minute of it.  I am looking forward to the next book that this author sends my way.

Fan Friday - Dark Wolf - Christine Feehan




What better way to start the weekend then with one of my favorite books.  This particular book is number 25 in the series, so while it can be read alone you get the best experience by reading it in order.  This author has such a fantastic ability when it comes to bringing all of her characters into each of her books.  Okay, obviously not all of her characters, but the important ones are in almost every book and we might not here from a character for several books and then all of a sudden, they show up again.  I love it because it makes her books seem more like an alive and thriving community then just a flat surface meant to bring enjoyment.

I love this book because the leading lady had such a terrible childhood.  We first met her many books ago when she was just a child, and then we met her again when she first connected with her lifemate.  In this book we get to see her grab womanhood by the horns and not forget about her childhood, but begin to move past it.  The author kept true to someone who has experienced this kind of trauma, and made sure to have a supportive lifemate who understands that flashbacks will happen, and it is no one’s fault other then the bad people who ripped apart a small child’s youth.

I hope that you give this book, this series, a chance, although I am pretty positive that it is going to take more than just a weekend to enjoy.

Happy Reading

Dark Wolf (Dark Carpathian Series book 25)

Published to Amazon on January 7, 2014

Author Christine Feehan

Amazon



#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan brings the love story of Skyler and Dimitri to vivid life in this breathtaking, seductive entry in her dark Carpathian series.

He is Carpathian. Ancient and unassailable. She is human. Young and vulnerable. Without her, he will not survive. Caught between two warring species, Dimitri has spent centuries hunting the undead to keep his people free and humans safe. He has survived honorably when others have chosen to give up their souls. Now, marked for extermination by the Lycans, Dimitri finds himself alone, and fearing for his life. But salvation is coming...

No Lycan would ever suspect someone like Skyler to dare mount a secret rescue operation. A teenage girl. A human of untested abilities. But she has something no one else does. She is predestined for Dimitri—as he is for her. And there is nothing stronger for Skyler than her desire to see her life-dream come true. Whatever the risk.

INCLUDES BONUS CONTENT!



Official published review:

Strength in the pack

By now this author has perfected her Dark Carpathians. I love how the characters are recurring and yet each story is fresh and new. I especially enjoyed the fact that Skylar and Dimitri finally have their moment. The author took the time to develop these characters and they now seem to be old friends. The action and danger in this story was intense and drew me completely into the book. How exciting that once again we got to see so many connections happening. We might not know which couple is going to find their HEA next, but I can guarantee that I will love every minute of it.
