Review @ANConway - Savage by Nicole Conway (Dragonrider Legacy #1)




Savage
Dragonrider Legacy #1
by Nicole Conway

Goodreads blurb:  Savage begins the Dragonrider Legacy series, a thrilling companion to the international bestselling Dragonrider Chronicles.

Never send a hero to do a monster’s job.

Forty years have passed since Jaevid Broadfeather brought peace to Maldobar and Luntharda. But that fragile truce will be tested as darkness gathers on the horizon. The vicious armies of the Tibran Empire have crossed the far seas and are threatening to destroy Maldobar completely. Not even the dragonriders can match the Tibran war machines. And after an attempt to awaken Jaevid from his divine sleep fails, the fate of Maldobar is looking grim.

Reigh has never known what it means to be a normal human. Raised amongst the gray elves in the wild jungle of Luntharda, he’s tried everything to fit in. But the dark power within him is bursting at the seams—refusing to be silenced. And while his adoptive father, Kiran, insists this power must be kept secret, Reigh knows he’s running out of time.

As Maldobar burns, the world is desperate for a new hero. Destiny has called, and one boy will rise to answer.

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 loved this book, and I bought my own copy!  I own the series before this book too!

This is the first book in this new series that is a spin-off of the Dragonrider Chronicles!  This is a YA book!  Okay I loved this book because it went back to Nicole’s original style!  It does end leaving you wanting more!  I need the next book like NOW!

This book is about Reigh who is a human teen who has always lived in a Grey Elf city.  Kiran from the first series raised him.  He doesn’t know who he is, or what the deal is with his power.  There is so much action and mystery going on that you get pulled right into the story, and I found it hard to put the book down!  I can’t wait for book 2, and to see how things go and what destiny has in store for Reigh!!

I highly recommend to any Dragonrider fans who loved the first 3 books because you will enjoy this book!  If you are new to Nicole’s work, I would read the first series, and then start this one afterward!

Review @Violet__Vaughn - Called by the Vampire: Part 5 by V. Vaughn




Called by the Vampire
Part #5
by V. Vaughn

Goodreads blurb:  Maggie manages to survive her encounter with the evil vampire, Robert Kearns, but she faces more imminent danger when her donor heart begins to fail. While Maggie struggles to keep her declining health a secret from Sebastian, she begins to see why Elizabeth loved the older Hart brother, and the bond between Maggie and Sebastian deepens.  

Lyndsey learns more about her family as her relationship with Alexander develops. While she’s curious about her vampire roots, she’ll have to determine if she can adapt her tomboy ways, embrace becoming a princess, and accept her fate as vampire royalty.

***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 matches well with the series!

This is the 5th installment in this serial series.  For those who do not know what a serial is, it is one book split up into installments which means the author can do each part more quickly than the 1 book a year.  The advantage is that you do not have to wait as long to read something from an author you love; the disadvantage is that each part ending is very cliff hangery and bothers some readers.  This also means you must read each part to understand what is happening in the series.  This series is for adults only.

I really like all of the main characters:  Maggie, Sebastian, Alexander, and Lyndsey.  I’m torn with this book because I’m not sure where it is going, and my heart is hurting in sympathy for Maggie as she is in limbo.  Lyndsey seems to have a lot more luck than Maggie does at the moment.  I want the next part because I want to know what happens.  I also do not know how many parts this serial is going to have.

I highly recommend to vampire fans who love serials and the struggles that go with being a vampire and loving them!

Review @ZoeChantebooks - Mated to the Storm Dragon by Zoe Chant




Mated
to the
Storm Dragon
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  A curvy artist down on her luck + a dragon shifter running out of time + a powerful enemy with an ancient grudge = a romance as hot as dragon fire!

Curvy Naomi Edwardson is working two jobs just to make ends meet. She has given up on her dream of being an artist - until she gets a life-changing offer for one of her paintings. There’s only one catch: the mysterious billionaire wants to meet her in person.

Gregory Drago is a dragon shifter who’s quickly running out of time. If he doesn’t find his mate soon, he’ll lose control over his dragon’s storm power - and he'll lose his mind, or worse. That's when he comes across a mysterious painting of his dragon in a gallery. And not only is the artist the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen, but his dragon immediately recognizes her as his mate. Now surely all that's left before his happy ending is to show her his home and hope that a human can find happiness in the peaceful shifter town.

But Gregory isn't the only dragon who's taken an interest in Naomi's painting. When a powerful fire dragon kidnaps Naomi, will Gregory be strong enough to save her? And can the strength of the sizzling connection between them protect their home from their ruthless enemy?

Mated to the Storm Dragon is a sizzling hot, standalone BBW dragon shifter romance. 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!!  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 is awesome like all of Zoe’s book!

I can’t even tell you how much Zoe’s books bring me happiness when I read them.  She always has a beautiful story that makes me truly happy to read.  She has a knack for getting the picture mixture of action, treachery, drama, and romance in her books.  She never leaves you hanging, and each one is an HEA that makes my heart happy.

This is a story about Naomi who is an artist who is trying to make ends meet, and she feels lost and defeated because things haven’t gone the way she imagined they would.  Gregory wants to know how an artist painted him and has bought the painting.  When they meet, it is like magic, but chaos ensues quickly which leads to quite an adventure for all involved.  I won’t say anymore because you need to read it for yourself.

I highly recommend to all paranormal fans who want a feel-good shifter romance that leaves you happy with an HEA!  I can’t wait to see what comes next from Zoe!

Review @Violet__Vaughn - Jake by V. Vaughn (Greenville Alien Mail Order Brides #4)




Jake
Greenville Alien Mail Order Brides #4
by V. Vaughn

Goodreads blurb:  Hannah Sullivan takes the life of a flaky artist to an extreme, so it’s no surprise to her friends when she decides to pick her alien life-partner at random. When Jake28 arrives and she discovers he really can cook, Hannah’s personal life seems perfect. But professionally, she’s still paralyzed by her own self-doubt. 

Jake is thrilled to finally come to earth and meet his nearly-perfect match. Especially when he discovers the chemistry between them is beyond what he imagined. As Jake settles into his new life with Hannah, he discovers that more than just her kitchen is in disarray. While he can see Hannah’s true talent below her messy exterior, she can’t. When she pushes him away, he must figure out how to free her muse and claim her heart.

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 has a lot of muscle, and it goes well with the series theme!

This is the 4th book in the series, and this one is different from the first 3 because the rules for finding a match has changed.  It is not necessary to read them in order, but I think it makes it more enjoyable.  This series is for adults only due to the steamy content.

I liked how Hannah and Jake are opposites, but they complement each other’s differences.    Jake is straight laced; Hannah is chaotic and artistic.  Hannah has a great set of friends who are there for her and take care of her.  I enjoy these HEAs where they take care of each.  This is another quick read at 65 pages.

I really enjoy Violet’s aliens, and they make for a great read in between bigger books!  HEAs always make me happy because you feel happy at the end for the characters.

I recommend this book to Sci-Fi Romance fans who like quick reads with HEA endings!

Review @PaigeTyler - Her Dark Half by Paige Tyler (X-Ops #7)




Her Dark Half
X-Ops #7
by Paige Tyler

Goodreads blurb:  Trevor Maxwell
Coyote shifter with an attitude
Covert operator
Trusts no one, especially his devastatingly beautiful new partner

Alina Bosch
Former CIA, newest operative on the covert team
Hired to spy on her partner
Motto: "Never be deceived again."

Coyote shifter Trevor Maxwell is teamed up with CIA agent Alina Bosch to catch a killer. But when the mission becomes much more dangerous than they expected, they're going to have to ignore the attraction between them and learn how to trust one another to come out on the other side... 


About the Author:  Paige is a USA Today Bestselling Author. She graduated from The
University of West Florida with a degree in education in 2000, but decided to pursue a full-time career as a writer in 2004. Since then, she’s written over fifty books in several genres, including paranormal,
contemporary, western, sci-fi and erotica. She loves writing about strong, sexy, alpha males and the feisty, independent women who fall for them. From verbal foreplay to sexual heat, her stories of romance, adventure, suspense, passion and true love will leave you breathlessly panting for more.

She and her very own military hero (also known as her husband) live on the beautiful Florida coast with their adorable fur baby (also known as their dog). Paige graduated with a degree in education, but decided to pursue her passion and write books about hunky alpha males and the kickbutt heroines who fall in love with them.

When not working on her latest book, Paige enjoys reading, jogging, P90X, Yoga, Pilates, going to the beach, watching NFL football, watching movies and hanging out with her husband (not necessarily in
that order!)

Some Fun Facts about Paige…

She loves anything and everything Disney related, and has pictures with every Disney character to prove it.

Her favorite Disney characters are Tigger, Pooh, Goofy and Tinkerbell.

She's addicted to dark chocolate, Pinterest and Sephora.

She'll tell you she's not exactly the outdoor type, but yet she loves the beach.

She studied ballet for twelve years.

She went to art school, and yes, figure drawing was her favorite class (probably because all the nude models were male!)

She collects Barbie Dolls, plush animals and Jim Shore Disney.

She's just as likely to have Rhianna, Lady Gaga, Pitbull, Ke$ha, Black Eyed Peas and LMFAO on her iPod as she is Billy Idol, Foreigner and Golden Earring (if you can dance to it, it's probably on there!)

***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!  I am collecting this series in paperback!

The cover is pretty cool, but no animals on the cover which is my favorite kind of shifter cover.

This is the 7th book in the series.  It is not necessary to read them in order, but I have a feeling it would make it much better if you did.  This is for adults only due to the steamy content and violence.  This book is about 350 pages.

This book is jammed pack with action and intrigue.  I couldn’t put it down.  I love Paige’s writing style because it is so engaging and descriptive.  Action shifter books are my favorite kind of romance.  Alina and Trevor both have trust issues.  Alina is a kick butt agent who has some baggage from the CIA.  Trevor is also kick butt and has baggage regarding who is trust worthy.  They have a bunch of adventures and learn all sorts of things throughout the book.  I love that this book isn’t predictable.  You will be shocked at some of the things you learn.  Of course the characters from previous books are a big part of this book.

I highly recommend to any shifter fan who loves action and intrigue in the romance!  Paige kept me guessing what would happen next!  I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!

Review @Violet__Vaughn - Logan by V. Vaughn (Greenville Alien Mail Order Brides #3)




Logan
Greenville Alien Mail Order Brides #3
by V. Vaughn

Goodreads blurb:  Wanted – Brides

Are you seeking adventure that’s out of this world? Travel with a man that will take you to exotic places while treating you with the adoration you deserve. Let our expert matchmakers find you a love that will rocket you to the moon and beyond.

***
Eliza Grady mourns the loss of the majority of the human male population more than most women do. Her life dream is to raise a family, and when it appears her only way to do so is to marry an alien, she finally agrees to accept a match with Logan TS-028. After a rocky start, Eliza falls hard for her sexy life mate and agrees to let him turn her into a celebrity homemaking queen. But when the business begins to overwhelm her, Eliza wonders if Logan’s in love with her, or if what he really loves is what she can do for him.

Logan was just as reluctant to be matched with a human as Eliza was to date him. Until he tried her apple pie. Given no choice but to stay on Earth, he decides to make the best of things. And Eliza presents him with more than a willingness to take care of him - she’s got skills he can turn into a powerhouse business that has intergalactic appeal. As he falls deeply in love with Eliza, Logan gets carried away with his plan, and she threatens to quit. He must take a step back and figure out a way to run his new empire and keep the most important thing in his life - Eliza.

The cover matches the rest of the series with the hot alien on the cover.

This is the 3rd book in this novella series.  Book 2 is still my favorite so far.  This is a quick read at about 60 pages long.  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.

I really enjoyed the story, but I’m not Susie homemaker and didn’t connect as well with Eliza.  I understand her insecurities, and I really would not want to be in the spotlight.  Eliza thinks she is being manipulated, and this is about her realizations and them working as a team.  Logan is hard to get a read on, but I think it happens when he is uncomfortable.  I can’t wait to see where the series goes next!

I recommend to any Sci-fi fan who likes Alien Romances that are quick HEAs for when you need a short read!

Review - Hans by J.S. Striker (The Clan Legacy #5)




Hans
The Clan Legacy #5
by J.S. Striker

Goodreads blurb:  Hans Grayson had made a lot of bad decisions in the past, and he was paying for it. But now a disease was taking over the bear shifters, killing them slowly, and his clan needed him more than ever. Swallowing his pride, he must trust a witch and tread the mountain where the cure was—and he must avoid any distractions, even in the form of a woman whose red hair and blue eyes made the bear inside him feel more alive than ever.
She was keeping secrets—and he intended to pry them all out, even if it meant seducing her and drowning in the pleasure of her kisses…

Nell Louise was on a mission—hunt down rogue vampires, destroy their nest and report back to her vampire leader. It was all going according to plan—until she bumped into a bear shifter attacked by the rogues, on the brink of death. Until she saved his life.
Then she found out who he was…

Now she must hide her identity at all costs, because this certain shifter considered her an enemy. But what if hiding her identity meant being vulnerable to a man who touched a deep chord inside her—a man who ignited fire with his touch and made her want something more? 

J. S. Striker has released another fantastical tale in her riveting paranormal romance series. Connected to her 5 star Clan Legacy series, Hans adds new twists and turns you will never expect (but LOVE). The imagination behind it is fabulous, full of action, and adventure and of course steamy scenes between lovers with a HEA. All her stories can be read as stand alone books but they do pair well with their counterparts. :)
Beta readers have rave reviews:
"Another awesome read, but I wanna scream lol I need more!"
"Read the book, in a day, just finished now. What a story, I loved it, could not put it down."
"That was a ride and a half! I loved it."


Author note:
Thank you to all my avid readers out there!! I am extremely excited and pleased with this release. I think you will love it! Let me know what you think and thank you in advance for all your support. Means the world. 


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.

***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 did buy my own copy of this book too!

The cover is very nice to look at!  I love covers that have both beasts on the front!

This is the 5th book in The Clan Legacy series.  While I own the whole series, this is the first book I’ve read in this series.  This books is for adults due to the violence and steamy content.

This book has plenty of action during Hans and Nell’s missions.  I definitely prefer books like this with plenty going on to keep you engaged in the book.  I’m betting if I would have read the first 4 books that it would have enhanced this book even more knowing histories and backstories.  I really like both Nell and Hans.  They don’t trust each other, but they are also compelled because of their personalities to help each other when one of them is in trouble.  They grow on each other even though they are trying to resist.  It was over too quickly because I wanted to know what comes next.

I recommend to any paranormal fan who likes battles and action with some reluctant romance mixed in!  This story has vampires, bear, dragon, rogues, magic, potions, witches, and a weird animals that I don’t know what to call them!
