Review @valeromance - Untamed Hearts by Catherine Vale (Untamable #1)




Untamed Hearts
Untamable #1
by Catherine Vale

Goodreads blurb:  He’s a wild and dangerous shifter on a motorcycle. She’s a feisty full-figured waitress trying to rebuild her life. Both have something to hide; neither is willing to let go.

Can two people with so many secrets ever learn to trust again?

Warning: This novel contains mature content intended for readers 18 years of age or older.


About the Author:  Catherine Vale has been writing fiction for as long as she can remember, but it wasn’t until she wrote her very first paranormal romance story that she found herself hooked on the raw, edgy love affair of shifters, vampires and other dominant alpha males and the captivating women that love them.

Catherine Vale writes both contemporary and paranormal romance for readers who are willing to take a walk on the wild side of love.  Her stories always include powerful alpha males, smart and sassy heroines and a happily-ever-after (even if she often put her characters through hell to get there!)

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***Bought this book back in 2015

The cover is mysterious, and I wish it was sporting a beautiful wolf.  I love when both are on the cover.

This is the first in a series, but I’m not sure if it is just two books or more than that as I write this.  It is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.

This book has a little of everything.  It has mysteries about both Claire and Gunner’s pasts, a crazy ex, and trouble galore.  It is a whirl wind adventure that has more to come.  It doesn’t end in a cliffhanger, but it does leave you wanting more.  I don’t want to give anything away because it is your adventure to read.  I will definitely be acquiring book 2 in the future because I want to know if love will get them through everything.

I recommend this book to lovers of motorcycle riding werewolves.

Review - The Fox and Her Bear by Lynn Red (Mating Call Dating Agency #2)




The Fox and Her Bear
Mating Call Dating Agency #2
by Lynn Red

Goodreads blurb:  When fox-shifting Angie Holton goes to work, she’s all business. Being all work, all the time, is starting to wear her down. Angie is lonely, though she’d never admit it. She goes from one thing to the next, more surviving than living, and has more or less given up on the whole love thing – who has time for all that anyway?

That is, until she meets Dawson Lex – a piano playing, hamburger cooking, sexy-as-hell werebear.

Dawson’s not just a pretty face and... really, really muscular arms. This bear has a dark, violent past and a present that barely keeps him from exploding again. But once he lays eyes on Angie, he knows he won’t—can’t—let this one go.

These two will have to scratch, bite, and hold on as tight as they can. Even if they have to survive gunshots, claw fights, and some REALLY obnoxious 911 calls, they’re never going to give up on this weird, beautiful love.

***The Mating Call Dating Agency is a series of standalone paranormal romances that can be enjoyed in any order. Each pair finds their own HEA – these books are perfect for a quick getaway in the middle of a hectic day!*** 


About the Author:  Lynn doesn't love anything more than being wrapped up in a hammock with her corgi on her stomach and a pile of her favorite books to read. And by "pile of books" she means "a kindle."

She loves all sorts of romance, but especially ones that feature big, strong alphas who will stop at nothing to prove themselves to the women who melt their hearts.

***Received the ebook for an honest review

The cover is another work of art!  My favorite kind of cover too because it has both beasties on the cover :)

This is the 2nd book in the series.  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.  Reading in order is not required, but you will definitely want to read them all!  Eve and Dora make me chuckle all the time!

Angie is a fox, and Dawson is a bear.  Their story is another one where you are just happy to read it.  I guess I think there is enough negativity out in the world, so stories like these make me smile and wish everyone out in the world was more interested in making each other happy instead of what happens.

Lynn Red’s work is always full of quirky people that seem real because they are not perfect.  Her sense of humor always has me laughing.  I know when I’m reading one of her books that I will enjoy it.

I recommend this series to all the PNR and shifter reading friends I have out there!

Review - Hare Today, Bear Tomorrow by Lynn Red (Mating Call Dating Agency #1)




Hare Today,
Bear Tomorrow
Mating Call Dating Agency #1
by Lynn Red

Goodreads blurb:  When you’re a shifter who don’t have the first clue where to find the love you need, WHO YOU GONNA CALL? Mating Call Dating Agency!

Fate is nice and all, but in the busy worlds of journalism and professional wrestling, sometimes a rabbit needs a hand, and a bear needs a place to grab.

Garnet Pendleton is a freelance journalist, and moonlighting as a librarian gets the bills paid, but barely. It’s a busy life, but it’s hers. Lately though, she’s felt like something was...lacking. With her life absorbed in pounding pavement and wrestling with the Dewey decimal system, Garnet hasn’t had time for something she’s starting to get REALLY edgy over – finding a mate.

Stacy Graves’s entire life has been lived in a ring. He’s big, muscled up, and can bodyslam and headlock with the best of ‘em. But he’s also not getting any younger. Stacy’s mind is starting to drift in the middle of matches. Instead of being worried about pinning his opponent, he can’t stop thinking about settling down and finding himself a mate.

Will Garnet’s journalistic drive for truth and Stacy’s life on the road be too much of an obstacle for them to overcome in the name of love? With mating experts Yvette and Dora on the case, Garnet and Stacy just might stand a chance.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!

***Received the ebook for an honest review, but I own it too!

The cover is awesome and just makes me happy seeing both beautiful beasts!  Where can I get a bear?

Okay, this the first book in the Mating Call Dating Agency series.  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.

Lynn’s books are always full of humor and quirkiness of humanity.  Her stories always entertain, and I’m never disappointed.  I have to say that this series is one I really like.  I read book 4 first, and you can definitely do this if you want, but I have learned that you learn more about Mating Call’s agency and people more if you read them in order.  This is totally up to your preferences though.

This story is about a bunny and a bear.  Who knew that reporters and wrestlers went together so well?  I loved how the community and friends come together in this one. 

I recommend any of Lynn’s books to my shifter lovin’ friends and especially this series!

In the Beginning (Oct. 25, 2016) –Eight authors come together to build a powerful collection of dark young adult short stories inspired by the mysteries, faith, and darkness found within the Bible. Old Testament and New Testament, iconic and obscure figures alike are illuminated, explored, and re-envisioned throughout this charity anthology from Month9Books.

IN THE BEGINNING, edited by Laureen Cantwell and Georgia McBride

Daniel and the Dragon by Stephen Clements
A troubled orphan named Habakkuk dutifully follows his master, the prophet Daniel, into temples of blood-thirsty demon-gods, battles with unspeakable horrors, and bears witnesses to mind-breaking evil until his master's zealous defiance of the king's law seals their fate.

Babylon by Nicole Crucial
Far above the earth, in Second Eden, where moments and eternities all blur together, young Babylon befriends Sefer, the Book of Life. As Babylon awaits the moment she'll fulfill her destiny, she and Sefer try to understand the world in which they live.

Last Will and Testament by Mike Hays
A homeless young boy, Baz, bears the weight of humanity on his shoulders and upon his body. When dark forces test a new-found friendship, Baz’s willingness to bear the ugliness of their world will be shaken. 

The Demon Was Me by Sharon Hughson
Based on the story of the demon-possessed boy healed by Jesus, this tale provides a glimpse into a post-apocalyptic world where a teenage boy seeks to journey to a better land and yearns to discover the kind of man he's meant to be, only to be hijacked by an evil spirit intent upon chipping away at the hope, faith, and resilience of its host.

The Deluge by Marti Johnson
A non-believer shares the story of Noah’s ark-building and the deadly downpour that follows. Fear, faithlessness, and the fallibility of mankind collide in a community where second chances aren’t unlimited and a better-late-than-never attitude just might be your doom.

Condemned by Elle O'Neill
Just sixteen-years-old, Barabbas finds himself pulled out of Routlege Academy and into a reality show competition—against Jesus himself—where the reward for the winner is life.

First Wife by Lora Palmer
In a first-person retelling of the saga of Jacob, Rachel and Leah, themes of family, deception, guilt, and heartache emerge amidst the first days of Leah’s marriage to Jacob—a marriage mired in trickery a mere week before Jacob was to marry Leah's sister Rachel.

Emmaculate by Christina Raus
Based on the story of Mary's Immaculate Conception, we enter the troubled mind of Emma, who finds herself torn between her religious upbringing and the purity ring that binds her to her boyfriend and the pregnancy that results from her relationship with another boy.

Anthology Excerpts:

From THE DEMON WAS ME, by Sharon Hughson:

The ghastly black fog overtook me. Icicles pierced my back. Every muscle in my body spasmed. I plunged face-first against the ground. Something sharp gouged my cheek. Shivery tingles pervaded my insides. A vile presence pressed against my mind.
            
“Get out!” I rolled to my back, arms outstretched. I wanted to fight, throw the intruder off me. But how can you resist something as ethereal as air?
            
Laughter rang in my ears. Sinister. It shuddered against my soul. Terror and hopelessness collided in my chest. A foreign power clutched at my mind.
            
I screamed. I rolled to my side and squeezed my eyes shut. If only I could disappear.
            
Another dark wave of laughter echoed through my skull. Convulsions gripped me.
Against my will, my limbs flailed in every direction. A spike pressed into my mind. I cradled my throbbing head. My body, a tumbleweed in the wind, spun on the ground.


From BABYLON, by Nicole Crucial:

Only those will enter Heaven whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

These were the first words I heard, in the beginning of time.

But Sefer, the protest comes, Revelation wasn’t written until the first century.

My answer is that time is a funny little plaything to God, or so I imagine. That first sentence was the wind that breathed life into my chest, the binding of my pages, the ink in my soul. It knitted together my stardust-atoms from across centuries and millennia and planes of existence.

And when the first dregs of consciousness swirled at the pit-bottom of my spine, I yawned and opened my eyes to paradise.


From CONDEMNED, by Elle O’Neill:

To his surprise, as he heard the metal door grind to a stop, there was a popping sound, like the flash-lamp did when they experimented in Classic Photography at Routlege. Except no camera appeared—not that he could see anyway—but rather a digital time clock, bold red numbers, already beginning their descent, in striking relief against the black paint covering the walls.

29:48:12.

29:48:11.

Of course they would include the fractions of a second, he thought. He was now fighting a tiger against a racing clock. For all that they were merely numbers, he saw their dwindling trickle as if he were watching grains of sand pour through the hourglass of his fingers, helpless.

29:47:03.

The tiger looked at him. It didn't glance his way. It directed its massive head at him, its eyes trained on Barabbas ... and they didn't turn away.

Another man, in another arena, stood calmly while the tiger advanced. His breathing was even, he did not watch the clock, and he looked with love upon the prowling beast. When it snarled, he slowly exhaled; when its whiskers glanced his weaponless fingers, he blinked gently as the hot breath of the tiger dampened his skin.


From LAST WILL & TESTAMENT, by Mike Hays:

I’ve found money, I’ve found food, and I’ve found myself in plenty of trouble on plenty of occasions, but I’ve never found another human being just lying around. That’s what happened when I found a person-shaped ball of olive drab and camouflage clothing—which would have been more at home in the reject pile down at the army surplus store—under our decrepit, worn sign for the, “Extraordinary 

League of Witch Assass_ _ _.”

It’s true. I found a boy about my age sleeping at the end of the Extraordinary League of Witch Assassins driveway.


From UNWANTED, by Lora Palmer:

“Let me see you,” he whispers. “Let me truly see you.”

I swallow down the fear this moment brings, the anxiety that once he does see me, he will no longer accept me. No, I must stop thinking this way. My husband is not like Jacob, dazzled by the superficial beauty of my sister. My husband, my love, will see me.

Taking courage from this, I let out a shaky laugh as he helps me stand. I long to see him, too.

“All right,” I say.

He lifts my veil, his deft fingers moving slow, relishing the anticipation of this moment. At last, he lifts the linen over my face and lets it slip to the floor behind me. We stare at each other, stock still, in stunned silence.

It was Jacob.

From EMMACULATE, by Christina Raus:

The Ten Commandments are pretty straightforward. Killing? Bad. Lying? Nope. Adultery? Don’t even think about it. But is real life really that straightforward? If you tell your boyfriend that you’re going golfing, when really you’re going out to cheat on him, is the lying or the adultery worse? What if you stab the guy you’re having an affair with? Isn’t being a murderer worse than being a cheater? I think the stabbing is worse than the lying and the cheating combined. So, it was kind of unfair for God to group killing, lying, and cheating all together under one umbrella. They all seemed really different.

I was an adulterer. I couldn’t deny that. I was also a liar. A very, very good liar. But I wasn’t a murderer.


From THE DELUGE, by Marti Johnson:

The stench of mildew and mold is heavy in our nostrils, and my lungs feel as though they are on fire. My breathing is audible in the lulls between the thunderclaps. My mother huddles, shivering, propped between two rocks. She is coughing painfully, and I can hear her teeth chattering.

It is hard to breathe because the air itself is full of water.

A deeper shadow has fallen across the side of the mountain on which we are sheltering. I pull aside the brambles, and gasp in amazement when I realize what it is. “Look!” I call to the others, and point at the sight. The ark has risen with the water, and now bobs up and down. It sits high in the water. We hear nothing from it but the creaking of the wood timbers and the sound of the branches and rocks on the hillside scraping against its hull.


From DANIEL AND THE DRAGON, by Stephen Clements:

Your god is a liar!” roared the wizened man in thin black robes, as he pounded his breast with his fist.
Habakkuk stood by the gates of the temple as his master picked a fight with a sanctuary full of the slavish followers of Bel, a bloodthirsty demon god. A fire raged in the fanged maw of a giant, stone head sunken into the back of the temple, there to receive the offerings rendered unto Bel. He had seen this before in other temple raids with his master, though not on such a massive scale, and not at the heart of the demon cult in Babylon itself. The fire raged as the greatest offering that the Babylonians—who adored Bel above all other gods—could sacrifice to their deity was their own newborn children, rolled their screaming, helpless bodies down a stone, handshaped altar into the fire. They offered the fruit of their wombs to their dark god, who devoured the innocent souls sacrificed to him in eldritch rituals.

Review @LaurelCremant - The Golden Pack Alphas by Laurel Cremant





The Golden Pack Alphas
by Laurel Cremant

Goodreads blurb:  Were hybrid, Georgia Walker, has spent months avoiding Marcus, the wolf shifter otherwise known as the pain-in-her-butt. The brooding and stalkerish enforcer makes her lips curl in a snarl, but her skin tighten with need—a combination of reactions that has Georgia tense and less than her usual, affable self. She’s spent her entire life struggling to fit in with her pack. She doesn’t need Marcus around tempting her to flex her control and limits.
Marcus Legrand loves a good chase, and Georgia stirs more than his love of a good hunt. Despite how well Georgia tries to hide behind her snarky sarcasm, he sees more than he knows she’s comfortable with. Her scowls can’t hide the flare of heat that sparks between them each time they meet. He’s tired of Georgia running from him at every turn, but the too-smart-for-her-own-good she-wolf excels at pushing his buttons.


When Georgia's father, current alpha to the Golden Pack announces his successor, it tilts Georgia's world on its axis. With unknown forces endangering the pack, Marcus and Georgia are forced to put aside their differences and work together, even as fate and attraction pulls them closer together.


About the Author:  Laurel is a romance author, who like most writers loves to read. She has no one favorite genre to read because she believes "a good story is a good story" regardless of what genre it's published under. However, her first love (pun intended) is romance. From the sappy romantic chick flick, the sappy YA romance novel to the more risque erotica novels, Laurel is a sucker for a good love story.

Laurel writes paranormal and contemporary romance. She is a self proclaimed, out of the closet nerd, and admits that she can't seem to avoid adding a bit of "nerdology" or "geek-dom" to all of her stories. Living in Miami, she also admits that she can't seem to avoid giving her heroines gorgeous shoes, "In Miami, we worship everything strappy, open toed and just plain hot!"

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***Received a copy of the ebook for an honest review

The cover is definitely a steamy work of art.  It definitely portrays the characters with his tats and her necklace.

This is my first time reading anything by Laurel Cremant, and I truly enjoyed it.  I think this was possibly a serial at one time that is now bundled together.  It is for adults only due to the violence and steamy scenes.

I hope there is more to this story as there are some things left to be done and I’m sure Georgia agrees with me.  This is a story of both Marcus and Georgia growing individually as well as together.  There was plenty of intrigue with the mystery as well as the drama of Georgia and Marcus’ situations and then relationship. 

I think anyone who loves the paranormal genre will find something to like in this book because there are shifters, witches, vampires, and hybrids and of course mad computer skills!

Review - Blue Bear by Sable Sylvan (Seattle's Billionaire Bears #2)




Blue Bear
Seattle’s Billionaire Bears #2
by Sable Sylvan

Goodreads blurb:  Curvy college intern Poppy Beaton was in Seattle for one reason and one reason only: for an internship at the Asher Lumber Company that could make or break her career. She was willing to do anything for her job, from going on coffee runs and making faxes to staying late and working weekends, but the last thing she thought she’d have to do was spend a week in Port Jameson with the notorious bear shifter Charles Dixon on a sales call that would have her questioning just how important her career really was…compared to finding true love in the most unexpected of places, with the most unexpected of people. After all, the girls around the office call Charles Dixon “Blue Bear” and “Bluebeard” for more than just his naturally navy locks and his ability to turn into a giant four-legged predator: he’s a playboy who has a new woman on his arm every week, and Poppy’s not about to become a notch on his bedpost…that is, if she can resist his charms…

Womanizing bear shifter billionaire Charles Dixon, head of the Asher Lumber Company’s regional sales branch, had the dangerous combination of well-earned cockiness and a tall, hard, strong body that would be hard for any hot-blooded woman to resist. Able to keep a cool head under pressure, he’d managed to get where he was in the business world with a combination of charm and intellect, although his family connections had helped too. The only thing he didn’t have? His fated mate, but from the moment he set his eyes on sassy human Poppy, he knew he had to have her…and when he heard her name for the first time, he knew he might have what he’d been looking for so long, finally within arm’s reach…

Down in Port Jameson, Oregon, away from the hustle and bustle of Seattle, they each see a different side of each other that makes the animal magnetism between the two hard to deny, and even harder to resist. In the Asher-Dixon manor, things get hot and heavy, and even at their business meetings, there’s an electric tension between the two that they each try (and fail) to temper…but when Poppy’s life is in danger, will she trust Charles to save her? More importantly…will she let him be her prince in shining armor?

She’s a workaholic whose story isn’t like that of the interns surrounding her. He’s a billionaire bear with a mysterious past, and even more mysterious future. There’s no frikkin’ way they’re supposed to be together, and they know it…so why is the chemistry between the pair absolutely unbearable?

If you love sassy BBWs and bear shifters are what you live for, sexy billionaires are what you dream of, and fated mates are your obsession, check out Blue Bear! This book is a standalone full-length novel, part of Seattle's Billionaire Bears, a series of remixed fairy tales set in Port Jameson, featuring the Dixon Clan.


About the Author:  My name is Sable Sylvan, and the only thing I love more than reading hot paranormal romances is writing down my fantasies and sharing them with readers like you. My heroes are strong alpha male shifters who can be grizzly and gruff at times...but when it comes to their mates, they turn into absolute teddy bears. The curvy heroines in my stories can be sassy at times but the bear shifter men who love them will do anything for their fated mates.

"Goldilocks And The Three Bear Shifters" is the first book in my "Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales" series, set in fictional Port Jameson, Oregon. Each standalone books features a BBW and her bear shifter ménage, a happy ending (no cliffhangers!) complete with an epilogue and a sexy teaser. The books can be read alone and in any order and are all based on popular fairy tales.

If you love fairy tale romances but aren't super into ménages, check out my modern fairy tale series, "The Shifter Princes", a series in which sexy shifter billionaires woo the women they love, each standalone book featuring a modern twist on a classic fairy tale. Expect these books out by August 2015!

If you want to reach me directly, you can email me at SableSylvan@gmail.com . I love connecting with readers as well as other authors.

***Received a copy of the ebook for an honest review

The cover is awesome as usual!  I love covers that have both beautiful beasts on them.

This is the 2nd book in this series, and it is for adults only.  While you do not have to read the books in order, you get a more awesome picture of the characters when they pop up if you have read the Shifter Princes series and this series in order...this is just my opinion though.

Charles is very hard to get a read on when you start this book, and he comes off badly.  But I understood him better at the end of the book.  Poppy is focused on her career and being professional.  This was definitely an interesting read especially with everything that happens to Poppy.  I am always a sap for an HEA.

I recommend this series to all the bear shifter lovers and anyone who loves a good shifter read!

Lone Wolf Wanted
Southern Shifters: Kindle World
by Jessie Lane

Goodreads blurb:  Chrissy “Kinks” Leroy has a certain itch she needs scratched. The problem is, there are no unmated shifter males she wants to get freaky with in Deals Gap, North Carolina. How’s a girl supposed to have fun under these conditions?

Ezrah Goldsby is a lone wolf, outcast from his pack and traveling the open road, enjoying everything the world has to offer. Then he stops at a shifter bar and comes face-to-face with the most gorgeous trouble he has ever seen.

After they share a night to remember, Ezrah walks out, not knowing that fate and his witchy great-grandmother are determined to throw them back together.

She's also a proud member of the Romance Writers of America (RWA).

The cover makes him look very intimidating and angry!

This is the first book I’ve read by Jessie Lane, and she is definitely an author I’m going to be reading more from.  This is a book in the Southern Shifters Kindle Worlds collection.  For those who do not know what this means, it is where other authors write stories in the world than Eliza Gayle has created Southern Shifters.  Another author I love and recommend.  This book is for adults only due to the steamy content.

Ezrah has a family history of being lone wolves.  Kinks wants nothing to do with all the mate finding that is happening in Deals Gap.  I love the humor that always pops up in all Southern Shifters books especially when you bring in all the characters you love from the bar.  I can’t wait to read more of the kindle worlds stories.  I also can’t wait to read more of Jessie’s shifter and paranormal books.

I recommend this series to shifter lovers as well as all fans of the Southern Shifter world in Deals Gap.

Review - Rumpled Bear Skin by Sable Sylvan (Seattle's Billionaire Bears #1)




Rumpled Bear Skin
Seattle’s Billionaire Bears #1
by Sable Sylvan

Goodreads blurb:  A BBW Bear Shifter Billionaire Paranormal Romance Novella

Curvy public relations intern Artemis Miller can spin anything into gold, but can she save the Asher Lumber Company’s image? With a little help from billionaire bear Jasper Dixon, anything is possible. The last thing that Artemis Miller wants is to get burned by the handsome shifter she’s been paired with by their boss. After all, Jasper Dixon isn’t known as ‘Rumpled Bear Skin’ for nothing: the notorious playboy has a different woman on his bearskin rug every weekend, or so the office legend goes. The only thing that could make working with Jasper worse? The fact that she’s assigned to accompany him to the company cabin down in Port Jameson for a full week. The ante’s upped when Jasper gives her three chances to guess his mate mark. If she wins, she gets a raise, and if she loses? She has to have dinner with Jasper for the rest of the summer.
The billionaire grizzly is running a major damage control campaign of his own. Jasper Dixon’s reputation precedes him, but he can explain: what’s a bear shifter without a mate supposed to do? It’s going to take more than pickup lines, wine, and caviar to woo Artemis Miller, the woman he’s sure is his fated mate, but of course, those things might just help him get what he wants. When he learns that Artemis has no idea he’s one of Seattle’s most eligible billionaires, Jasper realizes that the only way he can woo the Montana collegiate is to show her his Port Jameson roots, from taking her salmon fishing to escorting her to the Marionberry Festival.

Artemis’s father might have bragged about her abilities to his bosses at Asher Lumber, but he didn’t raise a fool. Artemis isn’t sure if Jasper’s just putting on an act or if the grizzly werebear is actually trying to befriend her…or even worse, trying to woo her. If it’s the latter, Artemis isn’t so sure she’ll be able to resist Jasper’s charms for long…but will she give him a second chance, and more importantly, will Artemis figure out Jasper’s mate mark?

If you love sassy BBWs and bear shifters are what you live for, sexy billionaires are what you dream of, and fated mates are your obsession, check out Rumpled Bear Skin! This book is a standalone novella, part of Seattle's Billionaire Bears, a series of remixed fairy tales set in Port Jameson, featuring the Dixon Clan.

The curvy heroines in my stories can be sassy at times but the bear shifter men who love them will do anything for their fated mates.

"Goldilocks And The Three Bear Shifters" is the first book in my "Bear-y Spicy Fairy Tales" series, set in fictional Port Jameson, Oregon. Each standalone books features a BBW and her bear shifter ménage, a happy ending (no cliffhangers!) complete with an epilogue and a sexy teaser. The books can be read alone and in any order and are all based on popular fairy tales.

If you love fairy tale romances but aren't super into ménages, check out my modern fairy tale series, "The Shifter Princes", a series in which sexy shifter billionaires woo the women they love, each standalone book featuring a modern twist on a classic fairy tale. Expect these books out by August 2015!

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

***Received a copy of the ebook for an honest review

The cover is looking very good with both beasts!!  Love it!

This is the first book in the series, but it is a spin-off and in the same world as the Shifter Princes series.  I love everything to do with the boys from the Asher Lumber Company!  This is of course for adults only due to the steamy content. 

Artemis is a spunky and feisty intern as Asher Lumber.  Her dad brags about her skills to get her the job.  Jasper has many rumors floating around about him.  They definitely have chemistry, and this was one of the stories that just makes you happy.  I loved reading it.

I highly recommend this book to all the bear snugglers out there!  I can’t wait to read the next one!!

Interested in reading???
