Seducing a Wolf by Krystal Shannan My rating: 4 of 5 stars Alejandro “Alex” Sureda’s task is to find the evil wolf’s daughter, get her to her suite and find her tablet. However, once he gets near her in the club, his magic pulls him right to her, only, she’s human when she definitely shouldn’t be. Julianna Rossi is Adrian Rossi’s daughter. Only, she doesn’t know his dark secrets. She only knows to clean up his messes and gets opportunities to relax only when he’s gone. When she meets Alex, she has know idea why she has such a pull to him, she only knows she doesn’t want it to end. This was another great piece to the overall story that I loved, until the very end. I felt that Alex was deservedly given payback for the way he had treated Rain and Nora. I liked getting to know Julianna also. The only thing I had a small problem with was how quick she forgave him. I know it’s a novella, so they’re quick, and there’s a bond, but with her being human she’s

Chasing a Wolf by Camryn Rhys My rating: 4 of 5 stars Tomas Rivera and the rest of the enforcers have split up to find out which mountain pack was able to put a stop to the evil wolf. When he’s essentially drugged and forced into a sex tent, the one that seduces him isn’t the one that was supposed to be in there. Citlani is desperate to find her mother. When she gives herself to the stranger, marrying him in her tribe’s traditions and forcing a bond, she hopes her body is enough to get him to help her since nobody in her tribe will. Like the others in this series, this book was really good. It was really quick. I enjoyed reading Citlani’s inner struggle as she deals with the traditions she was raised with and the outsider that is Tomas and the fact that he isn’t acting like any of the men she grew up with or was warned about. I love the continuation of the growing overall story and can’t wait for the next part. I highly recommend. **I received an ARC

The Werewolf Ranger by Krystal Shannan My rating: 5 of 5 stars Ranier Dubois is getting ready to head to Mexico with the other enforcers from the other packs. While awaiting orders, the snooty wolf from the East Coast, Nora Cavanaugh grabs him for a quick tryst. Nora refuses to acknowledge anything with Rain, even though they can’t seem to keep their hands to themselves, even though it seems to be endangering their case. I really loved following Rain as he unraveled the mystery that was Nora. I also loved the continuation of the overall story to find the evil wolf. it was a very quick and enjoyable read. I highly recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. View all my reviews

The Werewolf Bodyguard by Camryn Rhys My rating: 5 of 5 stars Marco DiSanti is a top chef in Las Vegas. He’s also a werewolf that’s never met another werewolf. While schmoozing the top-paying clientele, he scents something he’s only scented one other time, another werewolf. He can’t believe it when it also turns out to be a beautiful woman. Aria LaBlanc isn’t sure what to make of the werewolf that seems to be as full of it as a stuffed pastry. With the week she’s been having, she doesn’t have a lot of patience for his antics. When he claims he’s never met any other werewolves, she immediately contacts her alpha to figure out truth whether he likes it or not. I was happy to see Aria find happiness in the end. She’s basically had her world turned upside down and trying to cope. In the same aspect, she basically turns Marco’s world upside down, but in the end they are able to make it through together. I’m also really getting into the overall plot that s

The Werewolf Cowboy by Krystal Shannan My rating: 5 of 5 stars Of all the VonBrondt’s in Somewhere, TX, Allan is the most human-like. He embraces his role as sheriff and protector of humans. He doesn’t believe in the idea of pre-destined mates and even plans on eventually marrying a human. When there are packs from other states in his town, Allan is very leary, especially when he’s called to the bar over a disturbance. Reyna DuBois is the daughter of the alpha from Louisiana and she embodies everything Allan hates about wolves. When she feels the mate magic after scenting Allan, she pulls out all of the stops to rope the cowboy, even as he runs in the other direction. I was really happy to see Allan finally get his own book. I loved watching the back and forth between him and Reyna as he fought his destiny. It was quick, but full of story. I loved it and highly recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review

Return of the Ascendant by Raine Thomas My rating: 5 of 5 stars Kyra was a college student, anticipating her upcoming birthday.

The characters were out of this world. I highly recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews

Research Purposes Only by Terry Towers My rating: 5 of 5 stars Monica Evans was an erotic story author. After a year in a dead relationship, she decides to take some time to spread her wings in Europe. Her first stop is Amsterdam where she plans on doing some up close and personal research for her books. When she goes to the red light district, she sees Mitchell, the man who sat next to her on the plane. When she finds out he’s on the menu, he introduces her to his best friend Xander and thus begins her research. Do Not Read Without A Fan!!!! This story really made me want to become an author and do my own research!!! Really though, it was a really good story. It’s mostly in Monica’s POV but we also get a little bit of insight into Xander’s and Mitchell’s POVs and understand a little bit about why they do what they do. It’s definitely a story in many women’s fantasies but you can’t help but wish it were happening to you. I highly recommend to anyone

Outliers: three novels of romantic suspense by PJ Adams My rating: 5 of 5 stars Before I break down each book, let me start by saying that this author does an excellent job of writing about strong female characters. I get peeved when I read books where the female has a mousy character, but I never have to worry about it with her. All three of these stories are very different from each other and very good. I highly recommend any of them for anyone not looking for a typical romance. Book 1-Winner Take All - 5 Stars Cassandra “Cassie” Dane was tending bar in a tiny town in Maine on one of the last nights before the season was over. Nothing out of the ordinary until Denny McGowan comes in, soaked to the bone in a tuxedo and nothing else. After spending the evening talking to him, Cassie is irrevocably drawn to him. But with him comes danger and Cassie isn’t sure who to trust. Well, this book definitely kept me guessing. The author did such a good job wit

All Wrapped Up by Kimberly Kincaid My rating: 3 of 5 stars Ava is a reporter in Pine Mountain. For the past 5 years she’s been given crap stories all because of a screw up she made with an article. When a fire breaks out at the local grocery story and the hero turns out to be none other than the man whose heart she broke 7 years earlier, Ava knows this is what she needs to break back into her boss’s good graces. This book wasn’t bad. The author told a decent story and did a good detail on the characters. I am just not much into light-hearted stories if I can help it, so it was hard for me to buy into some of the characters actions. However, I’d still recommend it to those that like this genre. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews

She decides to take the steps in a magazine article to reshape her life and get her ex-boyfriend back. During her journey she meets Gabe. He introduces her to a sexual side she didn’t know she had. This book was pretty decent. There really wasn’t much in the way of surprises. Some scenes were pretty hot. I would read more from this author and recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews

Then she is sold again and once again has to do her new master's bidding. Then she breaks the rules, expecting to be punished, but isn't. I loved Serena's journey in this book. I found it very interesting as I was raised free. Even if in a fantasy way as there are still women in this world that aren't free, it still gave me some insight. I really liked the plot, overall story and especially the characters. I highly recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews

She had been married a couple of years and on her third husband when she finally kicked him out after he rejected her and slept on the couch.

The story talks of Alexandria form a failed marriage to the ins and outs of a call girl. I have to admit I didn't think I'd like this story at first but as the story went on it became more interesting. It was very interesting to see how she reacts to all the different situations in her life. I really liked the characters, plot and overall story. I recommend to anyone that likes this genre. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews

She was sent to a school for witches. In the school, Mildred was not a part of the popular crowd as her mother had been, but she didn't care. This book was just an enjoyable read, with witches, giants, curses, death enemy, and so much more. I enjoyed this plot and overall story, but more than anything I enjoyed getting to know Mildred. I recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews

He was the rebel of the family. LuAnn had a crush on Brad since they'd moved in together. Brad decided to let her say with him for the month until graduation.

I enjoyed reading Rain and Dorian’s story as well as the continued overall storyline of the Guardians series by this author. Getting to know Dorian and everything he had been through, as well as how he had to change so he felt worthy of his mate was really great to experience. Have I mentioned the hawt scenes?? I’m really enjoying reading this new author. I highly recommend to anyone that likes this genre. *

At Blade's Edge by Lauren Dane My rating: 1 of 5 stars Rowan works for Hunter Corp as a weapon for them. She's the only non-vampire in the vampire world and is newly married to one of the most powerful vampires.

After moving to Chicago to learn how to defend herself, she’s established herself as no longer a victim, someone that can handle serious situations and can help others. She just wished that Jonah didn’t criticize her so much. Jonah has been crazy about Mindy since the first time he saw her in Austin. He just can’t seem to say the right thing to get her to feel the same about him. During a tense situation, he finally tells her he wants her, and she is determined to show him the feeling is mutual. This was a really good story. I loved Mindy’s character. She refuses to back down from anything if it means saving someone, especially someone she cares about. She’s also determined to never be weak again. While we didn’t get a good look at her personality in Strange Days, it’s obvious how much she’s gone through and how that’s affected her. Gre

The problem is every time they have a chance meeting, she panics and rudely leaves.

I’m not really sure what I expected, but this turned out to be a really great story that I read in one sitting. I loved Dodie’s personality. She felt like a kindred spirit to my own. Christian reminded me of Magic Mike meets Buffy. I liked getting to know him, especially his determination to win Dodie over while saving her and the city. I highly recommend and can’t wait to read more. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews

While being escorted on the plane by her grandmother, she sees an entirely too sexy man and decides to have one final act of defiance and asks him to help her join the mile high club. Braxton was being sent back to San Francisco by Master Foy with no clear purpose. When a beautiful woman asks him to join her in the restroom on the plane, he can hardly say no. When he’s later told by Master Foy that he must hurry and retrieve her before something bad happens, he hardly believes it’s a coincidence.

I loved this entire book. I read through part 4 as quickly as possible, prolonging sleep until it was done. I was so caught up in all of the stories that were occurring. I am DYING to get the fully story on Rhi and Con. I was happy that Sophia was strong enough to do what Darius wasn’t willing to do, even after finally admitting his feelings.

Raven Crowne lives in a small town in Alaska. Her life is very organized and content: she owns her own art gallery, she has her two best friends, and everything is set to a certain degree.

When she finds out it’s her best friend Noah, and he wants to temporarily change their friendship, her entire world is thrown off her axis. Noah has waited 10 years for it to be safe enough to claim Raven like he’s always wanted to. When she finally accepts his proposal, he can’t wait to start. This is the first erotic book from this author, so i wasn’t sure what to expect since I’m only familiar with her awesome Ghost series. However, this book had me at start. I read through it so quickly I didn’t realize how many pages it was. Where some authors write erotic as sleezy porn, she didn't’ do that. She made the scenes hawt and very creative and you were so engrossed into it,

However, Tabitha refuses to take no for an answer. This was a pretty good story. It was quick and hot and had a good plot to it. My only complaint, which kept it from being a 5 star, is that, while I love reading about strong females, Tabitha was a bit over-the-top. Then again, many of the other characters were the exact opposite, so without her determined personality, there probably wouldn't’ have been much of a story to read:) I recommend for anyone that likes this genre. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review

Mindy’s life has changed dramatically over the past 6 months. After moving to Chicago to learn how to defend herself, she’s established herself as no longer a victim, someone that can handle serious situations and can help others. She just wished that Jonah didn’t criticize her so much. Jonah has been crazy about Mindy since the first time he saw her in Austin. He just can’t seem to say the right thing to get her to feel the same about him. During a tense situation, he finally tells her he wants her, and she is determined to show him the feeling is mutual. This was a really good story. I loved Mindy’s character. She refuses to back down from anything if it means saving someone, especially someone she cares about. She’s also determined to never be weak again. While we didn’t get a good look at her personality in Strange Days, it’s obvious how much she’s gone through and how that’s affected her. Great story and underlying continual series plot. I highly recommend. **I received an A

CC Calhoun has some big phobias she is determined to conquer by her next birthday. While waiting for coffee at a coffee shop, the guy at the counter is holding up the line while flirting with the barista. When he turns around to respond to several peoples’ comments, CC can’t help but notice how handsome he is, but she can definitely tell he’s a player. Kevin “Tuck” Tucker plays for the Manhattan Marauders and embodies the word “Player”, but when he turns around and sees the blonde behind him, he can’t get her out of his mind. When she starts to go into a panic attack, he does the first thing that comes to mind, kiss her. Now that he’s kissed her, he’s as determined as ever to track her down. The best thing about this book and this author, is how she can take an unlikable character at the beginning of a story and completely change them around. When I started reading the book, it was abundantly clear that Tuck is a womanizing dog, even though he’s pretty honest about it. When readin
