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 will be buying this, but I’m waiting to get the whole serial together!

The cover is matches with the other parts!

This is the fourth part in a new serial series!  It is for adults only due to content.  Since this is a serial, it is mandatory to read all the parts in order.  Serials are different because they are not a whole book, they are like an episode in a TV show.  Some people love them, and others are better off waiting until the whole serial is published and reading it like one book because they don’t like the cliffhanger feel of each part.  You do you and pick what works best for you.

Lots of action in this episode, and I loved this part.  It was over way too quickly, and I want to know what happens!  The brothers still confuse me with the hot/cold routine.  Maggie is awesome, and I like Lyndsey.  Lyndsey is adapting better than they thought to being a vampire.  Maggie has some realizations about Lyndsey.  There is danger and lots of questions.  I need to know what happens!

I recommend this serial to vampire fans who like mystery and intrigue involved with a serial, and if you have read the other parts and enjoyed them, you definitely do not want to miss this part!  I can’t wait for Part 5!

Review @ZoeChantebooks - The Master Shark's Mate by Zoe Chant (Fire & Rescue Shifters #5)




The Master Shark's Mate
Fire & Rescue Shifters #5
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  He's the most feared shifter in the sea.
She's a middle-aged grandma from Arizona.
He may have finally met his match...

Hated and mistrusted. Feared and misunderstood. For decades, the Master Shark has protected the underwater city of Atlantis. Now, his Empress has set him his most difficult mission yet:

A relaxing beach vacation.

Coyote shifter Martha Hernandez doesn't want to take a vacation. She doesn't want to sit around in some fancy all-shifter resort when her pack could be getting up to who-knows-what mischief in her absence. And she definitely doesn't want to bang this mysterious scarred, silent stranger like a screen door in a hurricane.

Nope nope nope. No matter that he's her one true mate. She's a respectable widow with no call to be having such fool notions at her time of life. What would her family think?

But he is the Master Shark. And he has never failed in the hunt. He'll capture his mate's heart... even if it means learning to salsa.

Combining romance, action, and a generous helping of humor, the Fire & Rescue Shifters series is a must-read for fans of TS Joyce and Sherrilyn Kenyon. Each book is a standalone romance focusing on a different couple, but characters reoccur throughout the series. No cliffhangers!

Warning: Contains steamy scenes between a no-nonsense, mature Latina heroine and an alpha hero who will forever change your opinion of sharks. Can you handle the heat? 


About the Author:  Zoe Chant loves writing paranormal romance. Over a cup of tea (or something stronger) she whips up sexy tales of hunky heroes and adventurous heroines to tantalize and satisfy her readers. Sizzling hot romance, no cliffhangers!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, and no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I have bought this book because I loved it, and I own most of Zoe’s books!

This cover matches the series, and it is pretty cool!

Okay this is the 5th book in the series, and it was a surprise for me.  I didn’t not think the next book in this series would be the Master Shark’s story, but it was awesome.  This book crosses over into Shifting Sands too!!  Magnolia, Breck, and Tex are all part of this book too!  It was an unexpected and very welcome surprise since I love both series!

Finn and Martha are just awesome together!  I love Martha’s devotion to her family and that she speaks her mind, and she defends others even if she isn’t sure what to make of them.  Finn has always served others, and he has always hidden part of himself away because it would scare others.  He has never had anyone put his needs first or been shown what true happiness is.  He is awkward and sexy all at the same time.  I loved their story, and how two series are now tied together!

Zoe always manages to surprise me!  Her stories are always awesome!  I haven’t read a story yet that I didn’t truly enjoy!  I can’t wait to see what she cooks up next!

I highly recommend to shifter fans everywhere who love HEA endings especially if you already love this series, Shifting Sands, and Zoe Chant!

Review @cynthiaeden - Forbidden Bite by Cynthia Eden (Bite #1)




Forbidden Bite
Bite #1
by Cynthia Eden

Goodreads blurb:  “Don’t look into her eyes. If you do, she’ll take your soul.”

Werewolf Griffin Romeo has new prey—a sexy female vamp named Isabella has been hunting in Sin City, and it’s Griffin’s job to stop her. Tracking Isabella is easy work for an alpha wolf, but once he gets close to gorgeous Isabella…Griffin’s careful plans go straight to hell. Because with one bite, he’s absolutely hooked on her, lost…mated.

Vamps and werewolves are supposed to be sworn enemies. They aren’t supposed to feel a white-hot attraction that burns soul deep. Now that he’s found his mate, Griffin isn’t about to let Isabella go, especially not when he learns that Isabella isn’t the killer who is attacking humans in Vegas. Griffin’s mate has been set-up, and he’ll fight with a wolf’s fury to find the enemy who is working against them both. Someone wants Isabella to be judged guilty by the wolves in Vegas, but Griffin won’t let that happen.

Their mating may be forbidden, but Griffin and Isabella are about to show the paranormal world just how fiercely a vamp and werewolf can fight for each other—because mates bond forever. And nothing will come between them.

Author’s Note: FORBIDDEN BITE is a short, sexy story (32,000 words) about one hot werewolf and his sexy vamp mate. Lust comes first (and fast!) in this tale, and then love is close behind. If you enjoy a hero who will gladly sacrifice everything for his lady, hot times, and a happy ending…then maybe you should take a BITE.  


About the Author:  Award-winning author Cynthia Eden writes dark tales of paranormal romance and romantic suspense. She is a New York Times, USA Today, Digital Book World, and IndieReader best-seller. Cynthia is also a three-time finalist for the prestigious RITA® award . Since she began writing full-time in 2005, Cynthia has written over fifty novels and novellas.

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

The cover is wow!!  I love it a lot!

This is the first book in the Bite series!  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.  The book is about 196 pages long.

This is a mixed paranormal world which I really like.  Werewolves and Vampires with a history that is very interesting.  I couldn’t put the book down once I started it.  I loved all the action in the book.  The relationship between Griffin and Isabella is full of tension as they both try to hold back especially Isabella.  There were definitely some surprises that I didn’t see coming.

Cynthia Eden creates a complex paranormal world, and keeps it exciting and mysterious as she goes.  I need to read more because who her books are always awesome to read.

I highly recommend to any paranormal fans of werewolves and vampires especially if you love Cynthia’s work!

Review @JessieDauthor - The Barren by Jessie Donovan (Kelderan Runic Warriors #2)




The Barren
Kelderan Runic Warriors #2
by Jessie Donovan

Goodreads blurb:  Vala Yarlen is one of the Barren—an infertile female ostracized from the rest of Kelderan society with others of her kind. So when she’s given the opportunity to join the new colony on a human-occupied planet, she jumps at the chance for a fresh start. The only downside is that she has to serve General Thorin Jarrell for the duration of the journey. The cool, distant male goes out of his way to show his disdain of her. But for the chance at freedom, Vala endeavors to endure.

Thorin Jarrell is the general in command of the Kelderan colony transport ship. After years of concealing his true parentage and working his way through the ranks of the army, Thorin will do anything to make his mission a success. What he didn’t count on was to find the female assigned to clean his quarters unconscious on the floor. The reason why throws his life into disarray.

Yet as Thorin tries to help Vala recover, the ship encounters trouble. Will they ever reach Jasvar alive? And if so, will Thorin and Vala find a way to be together despite the mountain of obstacles standing in their way? 


About the Author:  Jessie Donovan wrote her first story at age five, and after discovering the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey in junior high, realized that people actually wanted to read stories like those floating around inside her head. From there on out, she was determined to tap into her over-active imagination and write a book someday.

After living abroad for five years and earning degrees in Japanese, Anthropology, and Secondary Education, she buckled down and finally wrote her first full-length book. While that story will never see the light of day, it laid the world-building groundwork of what would become her debut paranormal romance, Blaze of Secrets.

Jessie loves to interact with readers. When not reading or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, can often be found on Facebook and Twitter.

The one thing you'll find in all of Jessie's stories are strong, capable women and the people who love them.

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

The cover is definitely eye catching!

This is the 2nd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.  While reading in order is not required, it is much better if you do because when previous events are mentioned you will know and the characters are richer.  I want to  mention that a woman is battered in the book, so if you are sensitive this topic take appropriate measures.

This book was very interesting and action packed.  I was hooked from the beginning.  I didn’t want to put it down at all.  I already loved Vala from book 1 because she is awesome, but in this book, she is even more so.  Her tolerance and understanding is epic.  Thorin was not high in my favorite list, but he is definitely something else.  Vala opens your eyes to him as you read, and it is an amazing journey.  I was secretly hoping something would happen, but it didn’t.  I am definitely hooked on this series.

Jessie always develops the most amazing stories that leave me wanting more and loving her HEAs.  I can’t wait to see what she cooks up next!

I highly recommend to sci-fi fans who love space travel, treachery, and romance especially if you liked book 1!

The epic tale of Sienna Preston continues in this second installment of the exhilarating Deception Game series. Seventeen-year-old Sienna is no stranger to heartache and loss. But this time, it’s different; someone―or something―has tampered with a loved one’s memories, and she’s determined to get answers. The trail leads her to the glittering skyscrapers and modern luxuries of Rubex, the Capital of Pacifica, where she infiltrates the government’s Agency for Intelligence and Genetics. But answers are not always easy to come by, especially when her own memories may have been altered. Luckily, Zane Ryder is there to help her put the pieces back together, his devotion and concern muddying the waters between friendship and something more. When Sienna gets too close to uncovering dark Agency secrets, she’s framed for the murder of a prominent government official, sending her on the run. Sienna’s heart may be torn about who she loves, but none of that really matters anymore―because the only thing that awaits her now is a death sentence.

Review - Mate Hunt by J.S. Striker




Mate Hunt
Alpha Werewolf Romance
by J.S. Striker

Goodreads blurb:  A sexy panther shifter and an equally gorgeous wolf shifter are brought together in trying circumstances and can’t keep their paws off each other.

Life as the ultimate shifter leader has never been easy for Dylan Masters, but he is an expert when it comes to navigating the very fragile world of supernatural politics—and now, he is in the market for a wife, one who will strengthen his ties and be at his side at all times. That plan is halted when shocking news arrives, and suddenly the wolf shifter who is used to sitting on his throne must now embark on a mission that involves dealing with a potential enemy, journeying through uncharted territory and meeting a woman who is all sorts of wrong for him—but feels all sorts of right…

There’s a slavery business going on near her family’s lands, and that just wouldn’t do—especially not when Isabella Hart’s brother is a part of it. Like her clan, she doesn’t trust outsiders. But this time she has no choice, because she needs to do everything in her power to save her brother—including teaming up with a shifter leader who is too charming for his own good and may have more ulterior motives than he’s letting on. But what’s a woman to do when family depends on it? She needs to stomach it out—and not fall for the enemy in the process…

Adult content.

A HEA standalone HOT & SEXY shifter romance. 


About the Author:  J.S. Striker lives on the west coast with her hubby and 2 Great Danes. The coast is full of magical forests, the mountains and ocean often giving her inspiration for her stories. Having worked as a social worker most of her adult life J.S. is now giving writing all her energy and loving every minute of it.

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

The cover is amazing and my favorite type of shifter cover with both beautiful beasts!

This is a standalone HEA shifter romance, but it does have some topics of child slavery and abuse.  It is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.  It is about 175 pages long.

I really enjoyed the love/hate relationship with Dylan and Isabella.  The mixed shifter world mixed with some witchy magic makes for a very interesting read.  I think some of the Alpha attitudes needed a smack down, but they were Alphas.  Isabella is fierce, and I love how she kicks butt.  Dylan is interesting, and the dynamic between Alphas is tense to put it lightly.  Simon and Robin are interesting, and I think there is a story waiting to be written about them.  They definitely click!  I can’t wait to see was J.S. cooks up next!

I recommend this book to any shifter fan who loves a mixed paranormal world with Panthers, Wolves, Witches, and magic with an HEA ending!

Review @ZoeChantebooks -Sheriff Bear by Zoe Chant (Bears of Pinerock County #1)




Sheriff Bear
Bears of Pinerock County #1
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  A small-town sheriff + a wrongly accused BBW on the run + deadly enemies and dangerous passions = a sizzling forbidden love!

Bear shifter and small-town sheriff Axl Tanner isn't looking for trouble or temptation when he walks into Marge's Diner, but he discovers two things at a glance. First: the smoking hot waitress with flaming red hair and curves in all the right places is also the woman on the wanted poster back in his office. Second: she's his mate!

Framed for a crime she didn't commit and running from dangerous enemies, curvy Tara Malloy is waiting tables in a truck-stop diner while trying to figure out how to clear her name and get her life back. The last thing she needs is to get involved with a drop-dead-sexy sheriff and his entire bear clan. But she's always been a sucker for a man in uniform ...

Axl knows he shouldn't fall for the sexy fugitive; Tara knows better than to fall for a cop. But flaming desire pulls them together, and Axl can't leave his mate to face her enemies alone. Can they overcome their differences and find the love they've been dreaming of ... or will Tara's deadly past claim both their lives?

This is a standalone BBW bear shifter romance, first in the new Bears of Pinerock County series about the rugged bear shifters of the Circle B bear clan. Every one has a guaranteed HEA, with no cliffhangers!   


About the Author:  Zoe Chant loves writing paranormal romance. Over a cup of tea (or something stronger) she whips up sexy tales of hunky heroes and adventurous heroines to tantalize and satisfy her readers. Sizzling hot romance, no cliffhangers!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  No one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I have bought this book because I own most of Zoe’s books!

The cover is very awesome!  I love it!

I bought this book back in 2015, but I’m reading it now because I need to read the latest release and want to read them in order.  This is the first book in this series, and it is for adults only.  It is about 150 pages, and it was definitely a perfect mix of action and romance.

Axl is the county sheriff, and he is a bear shifter.  Tara is on the run and wanted.  These two make a great pair, and their story had me from the start.  Zoe always knows how to mix the perfect amount of action and romance that ends in an HEA!  I can’t wait to read more of this series.

I highly recommend to all bear lovin’ shifter fans because Zoe’s work is always a great read for HEA ending lovers!
