Review @RebeccaZanetti - Hero's Haven by Rebecca Zanetti (Dark Protectors #11)

Hero's Haven

Dark Protectors #11

by Rebecca Zanetti

Goodreads blurb: He’s her darkest fantasy. . .
 
After years of struggling, Haven Daly has finally accepted that she’s nuttier than a fruitcake. Why else would she see visions of a beautiful but tormented male every night . . . and actually believe she can talk to him, even feel his touch?  But thanks to those dream journeys, she can paint images nobody else on earth can duplicate. In each brush stroke, she captures the blatant masculinity and raw desire in his eyes that promise he’s coming for her…and soon.

She’s the light that keeps him going. . .

Quade Kayrs has already suffered a lifetime of pain and torture. Completely isolated, he kept his sanity  thanks to one beautiful female, a vision with kind emerald eyes. In the end, her soft voice led him out of hell. Now, naked and alone, he’s in a strange world that bears little resemblance to the one he left behind. All he knows is Haven.  All he wants is Haven.  His final mission? To protect her from the evil hunting them both—whether she likes it or not . . .

“Spicy romantic interplay; highly recommended.”
—Library Journal on Vampire’s Faith
 
“Sizzling sex scenes and a memorable cast.”
—Publishers Weekly on Claimed
 
“A fast-paced, excitement-filled explosion of action… Zanetti keeps getting better.”
—RT Book Reviews on Marked, 4.5 Stars Top Pick

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I have started collecting this series and have 7 of the 11 so far , but still need this one, and I also have several of the novellas too!  I have not read them all yet!

The cover is yummy!!

This is the 11th book in this series, but it is only the 4th one I’ve read.  This series is already in my heart because I want to own and read them all as well as the Realm Enforcers series.  Obviously, you can read them out of order though I bet you love them all even more if you read them all in order.  This series is for adults only due to the violent fights where heads are removed and the steamy content with mates!  I love the humor infused throughout between mates and the brothers.  Always makes me giggle!

Well Quade is free because Haven saved him, but there have been complications.  Haven is finally learning about herself, and Quade is learning how mistreated she has been.  Quade is learning everything about the world today, and he is still having to battle the cyst and the kurjans along the way.  He has found his brothers and family, and now needs to figure out his vows and Haven because he never thought he would have a mate.  This is another action packed book with battles, explosions, exorcisms, love, and craziness all around.  I loved every word and couldn’t put it down.  I can’t wait to see whose story is next!

I highly recommend to all PNR fans because this has a little bit of everything vampires, shifters, demons, fae, witches, fanatics, bad guys, love, and so much more!

Review @katiereus - Darkness Rising by Katie Reus (Darkness #9)

Darkness Rising

Darkness #9

by Katie Reus

Goodreads blurb:  From USA Today bestselling author Katie Reus comes the final story in the sensual, pulse-pounding Darkness series…

When a bringer of death…

Awakened after millennia, dragon warrior Reaper is ready to fulfill his destiny…until he sees Greer. With one glimpse, everything Reaper has ever known throughout his very long life is irrevocably changed. Greer’s his mate, he feels it in his blood, in his soul—but convincing her is another matter. The dragon clan healer finds him obnoxious and annoying, but he knows a woman’s interest when he smells it. And Greer smells like one word: mine.

Meets a giver of life…

Greer has spent hundreds of years using her healing abilities for the good of others, making her the polar opposite of Reaper. The ferocious war general may be an ancient, but his arrogance proves he hasn’t spent any of that time learning about women. Greer is displeased when her Alpha sends her to New Orleans with the insufferable warrior—then she sees him in action against a menace threatening to tear the city apart. Fierce, protective, magnificent…mate-worthy. Except he’s hiding something from her. Something dark and devastating that could destroy their newly forged bond. Maybe opposites do attract, but if they want to live long enough to find out, they’ll first have to save the world teetering on the brink of obliteration.

Length: NOVEL
Author note: This is the final book in the Darkness series and can be read as a stand-alone. 

About the Author:  Katie Reus is the New York Times, USA Today, & IndieReader bestselling author of the Red Stone Security series, the Moon Shifter series and the Deadly Ops series. She fell in love with romance at a young age thanks to books she pilfered from her mom's stash. Years later she loves reading romance almost as much as she loves writing it. However, she didn't always know she wanted to be a writer. After changing majors many times, she finally graduated with a degree in psychology. Not long after that she discovered a new love. Writing. She now spends her days writing dark paranormal romance and sexy romantic suspense.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  I received a review copy, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I own this whole series save this one book which I will own in the future!

The cover is conservative, but he is shirtless so bonus!

This is the final book in the series, but I do believe I read somewhere that there will be a spin-off series picking up where this ends.  This is for adults only do to the steamy content and violence.

This is Greer the healer’s story and an ancient who wakes up named Reaper.  They do not get off to a great start, but they grow on each other and Reaper learns to curb his ordering around alpha tendencies.  Something is going on and when Reaper sets off to find some of his comrade in arms, the Alpha sends Greer to keep an eye on everything to report back to him.  They make some grisly discoveries and have to thwart a devious plot to harm humans.  This story had tons of action.  I enjoyed every moment.  Never a dull moment and several humorous moments.

I highly recommend to all paranormal romance fans who want a great read!

Review @RebeccaZanetti - Alpha's Promise by Rebecca Zanetti (Dark Protectors #10)

Alpha’s Promise 

Dark Protectors #10

by Rebecca Zanetti

Goodreads blurb:  To hell and back . . .

Though he has vampire, demon, and Viking blood rushing through his veins, Ivar Kjeidsen’s soul-crushing trip to hell broke him in ways he can barely fathom.  One vow keeps the deadly immortal standing: To rescue the vampire brother who had sacrificed freedom for him.  To do that, Ivar needs the help of a brilliant physicist with wary brown eyes, fierce brilliance, and skin that's way too soft.

Dr. Promise Williams understands the underpinnings of the universe but has never figured out the human beings inhabiting it.   Her function is to think—and not feel—until she’s touched by a vampire who’s nowhere near human. The primal hunger in his eyes awakens feelings in her that defy calculation. As she shows him the way to step between worlds, he brands her with a pleasure that could last more than a lifetime . . .

The cover is WOW!!

This is the 10th book in this series, but it is only the 3rd one I’ve read.  This series is already in my heart because I want to own and read them all as well as the Realm Enforcers series.  Obviously, you can read them out of order though I bet you love them all even more if you read them all in order.  This series is for adults only due to the violent fights where heads are removed and the steamy content with mates!

This is Ivar’s story!  After his trips through the hell worlds, it took him a while to come back from it.  But he really made leaps and bounds when he met Promise.  This story was action from the start as every book I’ve read by Rebecca.  Her books always have tons of twists and turns and multiple stories so to speak because you have the stuff with Hope going on while Ivar’s story is being told.  Ivar and Promise fit together and get each other.  They both have amazing brains and are quirky.  I can’t wait to see what happens with the rest of the Protectors and with Hope and her friends.

I love that I can’t put Rebecca’s books down once I start.  I was in a rut for reading and then I picked up this book, and it brought me back from my funk of moving and stuff in life getting in the way!

I highly recommend to all who love complex paranormal romance worlds filled with demons, vampires, Fae, hybrids, teleporting, and more!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!

The cover is awesome, and it definitely draws the attention of those who love the  paranormal and alphas.

I do not believe this is my first time reading Linda’s work, but it must be the first time I’ve reviewed it.  I know I own 3 paperbacks and 2 on my kindle, and I plan to add this book to my library as well in the future. 

This book started with action and was awesome and exciting throughout the whole book.  There was action with battles with vampires and even a bad human.  There were secrets and discoveries and mystery and intrigue.  I could put the book down.  Both the hero and heroine were strong and amazing and not wimpy in any way.  I love when characters are strong, but still show they can be vulnerable with each other.  I can’t wait to read more by Linda in the future.

I highly recommend to all wolf-shifter fans because this story was awesome!

Review @katiereus - Into the Darkness by Katie Reus (Darkness #5)

Into the Darkness

Darkness #5

by Katie Reus

Goodreads blurb:  One book. Two stories. A demigod and a half-demon are about to get married. Which means a week of festivities, romance, fun, and the kind of crazy drama wolf shifters are known for. When someone targets the Stavros pack, everyone bands together to fight an unknown enemy and two couples will fight for their chance at happily ever after.

She’s not looking for a mate…

Rhea is a warrior. She’s bled and fought for the Stavros wolf pack for over a hundred years. She never expected to fall for the Alpha of a dragon clan. But when her past comes back to haunt her, she finds herself working side by side with the very man whose been staring in all her fantasies. She never wants to get mated because she’ll never risk getting someone she cares for killed. Not again. So she convinces herself that they have something fun and easy, no strings attached.

But he’s playing for keeps…

Conall, Alpha of the Petronilla clan, has been biding his time claiming his future mate. At fifteen hundred years old he’s patient and cunning. Except when he’s around Rhea, years of civilization are stripped away and all he wants to do is possess her, make her his forever. But something happened in the stubborn woman’s past and she’s determined to keep walls between them. It’s a good thing he’s a dragon. He’ll just burn down every last barrier between them and claim what’s his. But someone from her past is threatening her and her pack—and the life of the woman he’s waited a lifetime to make his own.

* * *

Shifters, vampires and dragons are real…

A year ago Liberty had no idea that things that go bump in the night actually existed. But supernatural beings are real. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in her new reality. Saved from a Hell realm by a team of half-demons and a demigod, she finds herself falling for her sexy rescuer Rory more and more every day. She’s worried she’s too broken to ever have a relationship again, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny her attraction.

And when they choose a mate, they don’t give up easily.

Half-wolf, half-demon Rory has been looking out for Liberty ever since rescuing her from hell. And since she’s the wedding planner for his half-brother’s wedding, he sees her all the time. Not to mention he just happens to spend every night in her bed. Unfortunately he’s in wolf form when he stays over. He’s not sure what it’s going to take to move from friend to more, but he’s willing to wait forever if that’s what it takes. Because Liberty is worth fighting for, and he’ll do whatever it takes to make the brave survivor his.

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  I bought this book back in 2016, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I own this whole series and many other books by Katie Reus!

The cover is very conservative except for the tiny dragon icon in the title you wouldn’t know this was a paranormal book.

This is the 5th book in the series, and it is definitely for adults only due to the steamy content! 

This was an outstanding story of Conall and Rhea getting together, but also Liberty and Rory.  I read this months ago, but never got around to my review.  Life gets in the way sometimes.  I love this world and how the paranormals…well the good ones anyway…work together.  I would love to live in this world.  Katie Reus is a fabulous story teller.  I always get lost in her stories and want to do nothing else.  This was a fantastic read!  Always something happening, and I never want to put the book down.  I can’t wait for read more of this series!

I highly recommend to any paranormal romance fans because you can find everything in her books!!  Loved it!!

Review @_JKHarper - Ranger Bear: Riley by J.K. Harper (Silvertip Shifters #4)

Ranger Bear: Riley

Silvertip Shifters #4

by J.K. Harper

Blurb:  His to protect. Hers to cherish. Theirs to claim.
★★★★★ "Awesome, emotional, and made me want a love like that." ★★★★★

A woman ready to give up...
Mountain lion shifter Marisa wants only to be put down. Madness taunts her every day. Her tormented past won't let her go—until grizzly bear shifter Riley and his young children shake up her world. They give her something to live for, if only she can escape her brutal history.

A bear shifter haunted by tragedy...
After the horrific loss of his mate years ago, solitary backcountry ranger Riley raised his cubs alone. Raging sorrow is no place for a daddy bear to stay stuck, though—especially not after he meets Marisa. Because the damaged yet riveting woman is the only one who can finally heal his shattered heart.

A shifter town faced with dangerous outsiders.
But when Marisa's ruthless past hunts her down, neither Riley's fierce vigilance nor her own wary instincts are enough to protect her. The wild spirit of an entire town filled with untamed shifter strength must come together to safeguard them all—and show two devastated souls they need one another to become whole.

To the reader: This story is filled with heart-pounding romance, page-turning adventure, and some awesome sexy times. If you love big ole grizzly bear shifters who have a soft spot for their fated mates, the charming and funny details of a shifter-filled small town, and the beautiful power of true love to always save the day, this book is for you.

About the Author:  J.K. Harper writes about paranormal romance and urban fantasy because despite a lifetime of wishing, all the cool supernatural book characters of her childhood just don't seem to be real. Besides, it's just really fun to make stuff up and play around in her imagination.

Julie is owned by three cats, two horses, and a dog. More horses are always a good thing, so she's working on adding to the herd. She lives in the rugged, gorgeous canyon country of the Southwest, which is a great place to let her imagination run wild.

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  I own this ebook and the audiobook, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I have bought the whole series in ebook and filled out my collection of the audiobooks for this series too!

This is the 4th book in the Silvertip Shifters series at least according to Goodreads.  I own 24 ebooks by J.K., and now 6 audiobooks.  This is for adults only due to the steamy content.  This audiobook is about 6 hours long or the ebook which is about 244 pages long.

This is Riley and Marisa’s story.  They both have a lot of baggage from their past.  He lost his mate, and she has a whole lot of history she wants to leave behind her.  There is lots of action in this book, and the twins are adorable as ever. This is a great story whether reading or listening to the audiobook.

I highly recommend to any bear shifter fans especially if you already love this series!!

Review @_JKHarper - Rescue Bear: Cortez by J.K. Harper (Silvertip Shifters #3)

Rescue Bear: Cortez

Silvertip Shifters #3

by J.K. Harper

Blurb:  Haley Adams used to have what she thought was a good life. Then it imploded in spectacular, awful fashion. After a long time, she’s finally ready to get out and live again. Leaving everything behind for a fresh start, she lands in the mountain shifter town of Deep Hollow, home to the Silvertip grizzly bear clan. When she meets impossibly attractive bear shifter Cortez Walker, her life is about to change again. All she needs to do is let go—and trust.

Cortez is a thrill seeker who used to live life on a risky edge. But a terrible accident proved that everything can change in a split second. Haunted by his failure to protect those who needed it, he struggles to find peace again even as he doubts everything he ever thought he did best. Then he meets Haley. Now he faces the biggest risk of all: opening his heart and claiming her as his mate. He’s up to the challenge—but first he’ll have to prove he can be her rescue bear.

Haley is house sitting for the Walkers.  She is human, but she knows about shifters.  She is a writer, and she has a past she is trying to get away from including her ex.  Cortez is trying to forget the past and an accident that occurred.  They are trying to figure things out.  There are some misunderstandings and some trouble.  This was a great story.  I couldn’t put it down.  Same narrator and she does a great job.  I really like the Silvertip Shifters and wonder when I will the matriarch and patriarch make an appearance because they have been on vacation the whole time so far.  I can’t wait to see whose story is next.

I highly recommend to any bear shifter fans because it is a great series!
