Review @ZoeChantebooks - Mountain Guardian Bear by Zoe Chant (Bears of Pinerock County #4)




Mountain Guardian Bear
Bears of Pinerock County #4
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  A mountain man with a tragic past + a curvy amnesiac + two deadly secrets = one explosive romance!

His bear-shifter clanmates know him only as Gannon, a scarred loner concealing a dark past. The mountain man of the Pinerock Bears guards the Circle B Ranch from afar and shuns the company of others, until the day he comes back to his cabin and finds a beautiful, curvy woman sleeping in his bed ... that his bear recognizes as his mate!

All Daisy knows about herself is her name, and she's not even sure about that. The curvy amnesia victim wakes up in Gannon's cabin, knowing only that she was somehow drawn here while fleeing from an unknown danger she can no longer remember. She never expected to find a shy yet strong mountain man taking care of her.

As passion blossoms between these two lost souls, the secrets hiding in Gannon's past and Daisy's present threaten to tear their happiness apart. Can Gannon protect his beautiful mate ... and overcome his own demons to learn to love her?

This is a standalone bear shifter romance, fourth in the Bears of Pinerock County series. 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!

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

***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 bought this book last year because I love and own most of Zoe’s books!

The cover is awesome, but I think the bear should have a darker coat.

This is the 4th book in the series, and it is Gannon’s story!  This is about 160ish pages, and for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.

Yay! I finally know Gannon’s story, and he is a big softy.  We already know he is special because he knows things.  Gannon senses and sees things that others miss.  Daisy has amnesia, and she finds her way to Gannon’s cabin.  This was a great story, and it was packed with information and problems for the clan.  I don’t want to give anything away, but in Zoe’s usual fashion, she made the story just the right combination of action and romance to keep you gripped in the story!

I highly recommend to any bear lover who loves HEAs with plenty of action!  Off to read the next one!!

Review @ZoeChantebooks - Alpha Rancher Bear by Zoe Chant (Bears of Pinerock County #3)




Alpha Rancher Bear
Bears of Pinerock County #3
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  A take-charge alpha with commitment issues + a midwife who's not about to give up control of her well-ordered life + a roadside winter disaster = an explosive romance that's about to blow up everything they both thought they wanted!

Alec Tanner isn't looking for a mate. The tough, reclusive alpha of the Pinerock County bears likes his life just fine. Even if his solitude is because of his emotional walls rather than actual desire to be alone. Even if there's a part of him that can't help but envy the companionship his clan brothers have found with their mates ...

Charmian Russell can't imagine letting a man into her life. The Pinerock County midwife is doing just fine on her own, thanks, and she doesn't want a boyfriend to boss her around. Especially not an infuriating (but smoking hot) alpha like Alec Tanner. Even if he does make her weak in the knees ...

But when their car goes off the road in a snowstorm, suddenly these two proud, controlling people have to rely on each other if they're going to make it back alive. And there's nothing like trying to keep warm in a blizzard to make it harder to fight the sizzling attraction pulling them together. Can they learn to let someone else in, and find the happiness they've been missing?

Alpha Rancher Bear is a hot, standalone bear shifter romance, third in the Bears of Pinerock County series. No cliffhangers!

The cover is a great match to the story!

This is the 3rd book in the series!  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.

This is Alec’s story!!  YAY!!!  It is about time he gets his mate!  I love how Charmian knocks Alec for a loop.  It was a great story watching them learn to compromise and grow together.  The clan keeps growing, and I love it!  No bad guys in this book, but the weather is an issue and brings trouble.

I highly recommend to any HEA shifter fans out there because Zoe Chant knows how a write a great story that you will enjoy!  I can’t wait for Gannon’s story!!!

Coming Soon @LRWLee - Lullaby by L.R.W. Lee (The Sand Maiden #1)




Lullaby
The Sand Maiden #1
by L.R.W. Lee

Goodreads blurb:  You've heard of the Sand Man. Meet his counterpart, the Sand Maiden.

Alissandra thrills to help her human charges make sense of thoughts that need refinement, problems that need solutions, worries that beg for action, and things they should or shouldn’t have said, as she weaves their dreams. She’s been doing it her entire immortal existence. But when the most powerful king in Dream realm sets his sights on her current charge, Prince Kovis Altairn, to exploit him in his quest to conquer Wake realm, Ali has no choice but to flee and pray the sovereign doesn’t hunt her down.

Prince Kovis Altairn, crown prince and the most powerful sorcerer in the Altairn Empire, knows nothing about Dream realm, let alone his sand maiden. So when Ali is discovered naked in his bedroom, how will she convince him of her intentions, as well as the danger?

"L.R.W. Lee brings an amazing new realm (literally!) to new adult fantasy. It's sure to please fans of sorcerers, princes, kickass fight scenes, epic magic, and dazzling romance. Did I mention this is all in one book?" - Rachel E. Carter, USA Today bestselling author

"I'm enthralled. The book has held me captive since I received it...You have me in the spot I love/hate. It's so good, and I want the next right now. I thoroughly enjoyed the humor woven in this story. A lovely conclusion to this--a nice tease. I want more!!!" - Peggy Frese, Senior Editor

The Sand Maiden is a NA Epic Fantasy Romance with YA appeal. If you loved Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses, Elise Kova's Air Awakens, and/or Rachel E. Carter's The Black Mage you'll definitely love this.

WARNING: Mature content including sexual abuse. Recommended for 18+. 


About the Author:  Since the age of eight, L. R. W. Lee wanted to write a children’s book, but felt she did not have anything significant to share; she sought to change lives while entertaining. A degree in Accounting did not provide riveting fodder for a best seller, so she waited. Over a decade, she founded and grew a company, during which, she worked closely with a mentor from whom she learned uncommon thinking that changed her life. After selling her business in early 2012, she had time to write and, more importantly, something significant to share.

L. R. W. Lee lives in scenic Austin, TX with her husband, daughter and son.

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!

The cover is perfect for this new world and intriguing!

This is the first book in a new series that is considered New Adult which means you should be at least 18 to read this series due to the mature content.

Wow, this book was intense and full of drama, intrigue, treachery, magic, and more!  This world is just as amazing as Andy Smithson’s world but more adult.  Ali is amazing, and she must endure so much.  Her strength and love are beautiful.  I can’t say the royal family is my favorite, but Kovis does redeem himself in my eyes at the end! 

The author is a magical story teller, and her talent amazes me.  This was an emotional story that had me on a rollercoaster with Ali.  Be warned that the ending leaves you wanting for book 2 immediately!  I need to know what happens next.

I highly recommend to anyone who wants a magical story that has life’s messiness and makes for a wonderful tale of magical worlds and fantasy that really intrigues!

Review @SableSylvan - The Cinderella Hoedown by Sable Sylvan (Fated Mate Speed Date #1)




The Cinderella Hoedown
 Fated Mate Speed Date #1
by Sable Sylvan

Goodreads blurb:  There's no way you'd catch Kelly Dean at a speed dating event…unless her best friend, Savina, had something to do with it. There's also no way you'd find the no-nonsense BBW in the company of three different alpha male cowboys in the span of under a week, but when werebears after their fated mates get mixed with women who are two parts sass, one part curves, you'll find anything can happen. The only question is, will this Texas fairytale end with this Cinderella finding her Prince Charming…and her lost shoes?

Kelly's a recent college grad keeping herself busy by helping her friend Savina organize the first ever Fallowedirt Hoedown, a celebration of the town's recent economic growth. Part of that growth has come in the form of the McCarthy Dude Ranch, home to a veritable bounty of hot shifter men. Kelly's far too busy to date one man, much less three hot-blooded cowboy werebears who all want to claim her as their fated mate. She definitely doesn't have time for their drama. While these cowboys might be experts at driving cattle, it seems all these shifters can do with Kelly is drive her away.

Jeff, Tom, and Will may seem similar, but the three grizzly bear cowboys couldn't be more different. All-American Jeff can't stand local bad boy Will, and neither can stand the out of towner, Tom the doctor. These three grizzlies can barely get along on the ranch, working side by side. How are they supposed to manage to menage? The clock's ticking, and while these three fight, the hoedown swiftly approaches, and Kelly's curves are sashaying right back out of town. Which one of these cowboys will win Kelly's heart?

Love fairy tales and fated mates? Can't get enough of speedy reads and speed dates? Into sassy BBWs learning to love and the hot-blooded wild shifter heroes begging to be tamed? Not afraid of a good-old-fashioned happy ending (no cliffhangers allowed) for a three-on-one menage a trois-plus-one? And most importantly, do you think that grandmas and pies can save the frikkin' world?

Then check out "The Cinderella Hoedown", and look for the rest of the books in the "Fated Mate Speed Date" series on Amazon, available via the Kindle Unlimited program! This series has elements of romantic comedy, Western romance, and of course, shifter-focused paranormal romances between curvy BBWs and a menagerie of different alpha male shifters. Look out for "The Rapunzel Rodeo", "The Sleeping Beauty Pageant", "Beauty And The Bobcats", "Little Red Riding Bulls", and "Three Werewolves Gruff", coming out soon.


About Sable Sylvan:  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 bear shifters who can be grizzly and gruff at times...but when it comes to their fated mates, they're absolute teddy bears. My curvy heroines are strong, sassy women, which is why the werebear men who love them will do anything for their love.

All my books are $0.99, at least full length novella length, feature an HEA, and are exclusively available on Amazon.com! They are all FREE via Kindle Unlimited!

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!! And I bought my own copy already!

The cover is bear-tastic!!

This is the first book in this series, but it is a spin-off of Feminine Mesquite series!  This means you find some of our favorite people from Farrowedirt including Savina and some awesome grandparents!  This is for adults only due to the very steamy scenes which ménage.

This book has all the sassy attitude from both women and bears that Sable writes so well!!  I was completely entertained and loved reading it!  I couldn’t put it down.  You get catch up with Savina and what is going on with her which is cool!  Kelly is pretty awesome, and I love how her best friend helps her into Speed Dating.  This was definitely a dating misadventure that was fun, but it worked itself out in the end to a HEA!

I highly recommend to any shifter fan who loves sassy women and ménage bears especially if you already love Sable’s work!  I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series because I know it will be wild!!

Review @ZoeChantebooks - Snow Leopard's Lady by Zoe Chant (Veteran Shifters #1)




Snow Leopard's Lady
Veteran Shifters #1
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  A leopard Marine dedicated only to war - until he meets her.
A single mom who only wants peace - until she meets him.
But they're both convinced it's too late for love...


Mavis Williams is destined to be alone. Years ago, her ex kicked their daughter Nina out for being a shifter, and Mavis' heart was broken. Now, she's finally been reunited with Nina, and moved to beautiful Glacier Park...but she can't let go of her guilt and grief. And there's no one in her life to help.

Colonel Wilson Hanes, Marine and snow leopard shifter, has dedicated his life to the military, served in combat, and been promoted to a high-level job in Washington. After decades of service, he's realized that when he retires, he has nothing to look forward to. He's married to his job, and it's too late for him to find a mate, let alone a family.

But when Wilson comes to Glacier Park for a wedding, he's captivated not only by the rugged wilderness, but also by the quiet, graceful woman he meets there. And Mavis is shocked to feel a connection that she'd thought would never happen--with a man who understands the tragedies life can bring. Can Wilson show Mavis that love is nothing to fear? And what happens when Mavis' ex starts to stir up trouble?

Combining romance, family, and a touch of magical wonder, Snow Leopard's Lady will delight fans of TS Joyce, Terry Bolryder, and Harmony Raines. Pick up this standalone BBW interracial romance today! 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!

The cover is awesome!  I love covers that show both beautiful beasts!  This is one of my favorites too!

This is the first book in a new spin-off of the Glacier Snow Leopards series, and it is my dream come true because I was hoping for stories about the veterans!  This is for adults only due to the steamy content.  If you loved the Snow Leopards, then you will love this one too!

This is Mavis’ story, and I love that she and the Colonel get together!  I was hoping this story was coming!  I love to see veterans get happy endings!  There was a little drama and trouble for the two of them, but they worked through it!  Another fabulous story, and I can’t wait for the next!

I highly recommend to any and all shifter fans especially if you love HEAs and any of Zoe Chant’s other books!!
