Moonbound Series Boxed Set by Krystal Shannan My rating: 5 of 5 stars Seducing a Wolf - 4 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 ...

Moonbound Series Boxed Set by Camryn Rhys My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Werewolf Cowboy - 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. The Werewolf Bodyguard - 5 Stars Marco DiSanti...

Dirty Little Lies by Lora Leigh My rating: 5 of 5 stars Grace Maddox is in grave danger for the lie her treacherous deceased mother told. The one man fighting to save her is the one man she’s been in love with for years and whom she had always assumed wasn’t any more than an accountant. She’s about to find out that not only was that a lie, but everything she felt she ever knew was one big lie. I’m a huge Lora Leigh fan and have been reading her books for years, although my preference is her breed series. I have to say this was probably one of my favorite books of hers. I really loved Grace. I wanted to cry for her for everything she went through. There were definitely some twists I definitely didn’t see coming. The only thing was, the beginning with the family connections was a little confusing, but that was probably because I haven’t read any from this series before. I highly recommend, **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest rev...

Wolf's Magic by Rebecca Royce My rating: 5 of 5 stars Azriel Kane is the fifth brother in the Westervelt royal brothers. He’s very different from his brothers. He prefers the lab and analytic rather than action and violence. He’s also hiding a secret about himself that would make him even more different from the rest. Leah St. James wakes up in wolf form, in a cage, with no memory at all. The only comfort is the man that stays in the lab where she’s being held. This was a great addition to the Westervelt wolf series. I really felt for Leah as she tried to remember who she was and then what she had to deal with in the end. Poor Az. While all of the brothers were sculpted in a horrible manner by their father, I felt Az had it the worst. I was glad to see that he felt his difference finally seriously contributed to the pack and that he was able to find some happiness. I highly recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest re...

My Wild Irish Dragon by Ashlyn Chase My rating: 2 of 5 stars Chloe Arish and Ryan Fiero are both out for the same position in a Boston fire department. After Chloe proves she’s just as capable as Ryan, the chief manages to get them both hired. From then on, sparks fly between the two as they train together and eventually work together. Ok, for the most part, this book was 3 stars. I liked Chloe and Ryan, not loved, but that’s ok. I liked the plot, even though there was no really big conflict and much of it was predictable. What made me give it only a 2 was one of the side characters. Without giving anything away, I basically hated Mother Nature. I didn’t like that the author mixed the Mother Nature character with a Greek Mythological character (this was forgivable), but I really didn’t like her interactions in the book at all and didn’t see why she was necessary. I also didn’t understand why she got mad when a supernatural character revealed themselv...

Travis Justice by Colleen Shannon My rating: 4 of 5 stars Hana Nakatomi must steal a special sword from a very high up home in order to restore honor to her grandfather before he dies. While searching, she’s seen by Zach Travis a military vet whose family destiny is for him to become a Texas Ranger. This was a pretty good story. I thought the author did a great job with the characters’ development. I really felt for Zach, dealing with the pressure from his father and PTSD. I recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews
