Review @TenaStetler - A Vampire's Unlikely Alliance by Tena Stetler (Demon’s Witch #3)





A Vampire's Unlikely Alliance
Demon’s Witch #3
by Tena Stetler

Goodreads blurb:  Stefan is a Native American vampire, former assassin for the Vampire Council. In a twist of fate, he now DJ’s the midnight shift for a small radio station in Whitefish, Montana, on the edge of Glacier National Park where his secret is safe until...

Born in Ireland, Brandy now works as a park ranger and trail guide in the park. During a full moon, Stefan and Brandy’s paths cross in a near physical collision on a trail. Their attraction is immediate and undeniable, almost as if fate demanded it.

Their union was foretold long ago in Irish folk tales where vampires and gryphons, warlocks and demons, witches and faeries must work together for the good of man and magic kind. Is a trip to Ireland the key to unravelling secrets and returning the magic? And even more importantly, will their love survive the trip?


About the Author:  With the majestic Rocky Mountains just outside the window, I sit at my computer with vampires, demons, witches, faeries, and a variety of paranormal creatures gathered around telling me their stories! That makes me an author of paranormal romance novels and cozy mysteries with magic spark. The everyday world is mundane, but sprinkle a little magic and you have fantastic!

Colorado is home. I share my life with a wonderful husband of many moons, our brilliant Chow Chow, a terribly spoiled companion parrot, and a forty-year-old box turtle. We enjoy hiking, biking, and camping, also love water sports including kayaking and whitewater rafting, especially on the Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge.

Another passion of mine is reading a good novel. You can find me any winter evening curled up in front of a crackling fire with a good book, a mug of hot chocolate, and a big bowl of popcorn. While growing up, if I didn’t like the ending of a book, I’d rewrite it, which led to writing my own books.

Reluctantly, I discovered that in real life it’s tough to rewrite an ending.

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 okay, but compared to the story it comes up short.

This is the 3rd book in the series, but it is my first time reading Tena’s work.  This book is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.  This book is about 400 pages, and it can be read out of order though I suspect that it would be even more fantastic reading the series in order.

Tena does a fantastic job pulling you into her story.  I couldn’t put the book down, and I found myself loving the world, characters, and how it all fits together.  Her writing style made it easy to connect with the world and love it.

Stefan is a broody loner of a vampire with a past like all vamps, but everyone sees his heart and the good in him but himself.  Brandy is a spitfire, and I loved her spirit and that she goes after what she wants.  They definitely had some drama both caused by others and of their own making.  They do get their acts together.  I loved getting to know Brandy’s family, but I did wish that we would meet Stefan’s grandpa.  Tons going on, but I don’t want to give it away!  You will find a great adventure in this story!

I highly recommend to all paranormal fans who love mixed worlds with shifters, vampires, demons, witchs/warlocks, fae, and magic all coming together to defend mankind!  I can’t wait to read more of Tena’s work!!

Review @ZoeChantebooks - Wedding Bear by Zoe Chant (Enforcer Bears #3)





Wedding Bear
Enforcer Bears #3
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  A curvy librarian in desperate need of a date + a bear shifter in search of a home + the past that's pursuing him = one sweet and steamy small-town romance!

Sidney Lewis is an eternally-single maid of honor with no date for the wedding. Nothing exciting ever happens to her... until she finds a naked stranger unconscious on her patio. She only means to help him, but once he wakes up, she's irresistibly drawn to sexy, charismatic Kayden. When her overbearing mother comes knocking on the door, Sidney impulsively pretends that Kayden's her wedding date. But with attraction sizzling between them, soon the pretense becomes reality.

Powerful bear shifter Kayden Hunt helped his clan escape from a dangerous alpha. Now all he needs is to find them a peaceful, quiet home. The small town of Linden Creek seems like the perfect place to settle down. Especially when he recognizes Sidney as his fated mate.

The cozy small-town life with its nosy neighbors and Sidney's large family is all Kayden ever wanted. But when his past catches up with him, will he be able to keep his new home? And can he protect his mate from the danger that follows him?

This is a sizzling hot, standalone BBW bear shifter romance, third in the Enforcer Bears 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!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  I bought this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I buy all of Zoe Chant’s books because I love her HEAs and her style of writing!  I do own this whole series!

The cover is another great cover!  Zoe does have wonderful covers with both beasts on the cover!

This is the 3rd book in the series, and I recommend reading them in order because then you really understand how everyone fits together in this community, and it makes you love them all more.  The book is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.

Sidney is a constant and great friend, but she is under family pressure.  When she finds Kayden on her porch unconscious and naked, she finds the excitement that has been missing in her quiet librarian life.  Kayden is trying to keep his family safe while finding a new place to live for them all when he finds his mate.  As always in Zoe’s books, there is plenty of action, intrigue, and romance perfectly blended together in this book.  Zoe is a master at this!

I highly recommend this book to any bear lovin’ shifter fans because this whole series is a great read!

Review @larkh - Recklessly Yours by Lark Brennan (Durand Chronicles #3)





Recklessly Yours
Durand Chronicles #3
by Lark Brennan

Goodreads blurb:  Steamy paranormal romantic suspense perfect for fans of Shiloh Walker and Leslie Parrish.

“Absolutely addictive! This sexy, emotionally-charged tale shimmers with magic, mystery, and off-the-charts chemistry!” —USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Crane

When a mysterious artifact is discovered on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, former partners Chantal Durand and Tanner Hays are ordered to investigate. Unfortunately, the last thing they want is to work together again.

Years ago Chantal had a crush on Tanner, and they were close—until the night his best friend was killed on a mission and Chantal was implicated in the death. Grief-stricken, Tanner froze her out, and they haven’t spoken since. Eventually Chantal moved on, although she never forgot his kiss, and working together again has opened old wounds…and old desires.

Using their combined psychic abilities, Chantal and Tanner learn the artifact is a piece of a powerful relic hidden in the wilderness—and they’re not the only ones looking for it. A telepathic murderer also wants the relic, and he’s hot on their heels. Finding the treasure is just the beginning of a cat-and-mouse game that will test the limits of their survival training—and their hearts.


About the Author:  Lark's love of reading, writing and travel has led her to a string of colorful jobs and a well-worn passport – as well as a few years spent sailing and diving in the Virgin Islands. Her travels have inspired her stories--romantic adventures set in some of her favorite destinations around the world. When not traveling, she lives in Texas with her brilliant husband and two adorable canine “children.”

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!

This is my first time reading Lark’s work.  This is the 3rd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.  I suspect that reading the series in order would make this book even better because I definitely still have questions about both sides and events talked about in this book.

This book is about psychic powers and objects of power and the people who try to protect everyone and of course their nemeses.  This was pretty exciting from the start of the book.  I really like Chantal because she is fierce and doesn’t take crap from anyone.  She stands up for what she believes in.  I still don’t know everything about the Durands yet, but so far she is my favorite.  To me Tanner starts out as a jerk who thinks who knows everything especially concerning Chantal.  They both have angsty chemistry that they are trying to fight.  Plenty going on with a mysterious magical tile, murder, explosions, fights, chasing, and more.

I recommend to anyone who like paranormal psychic powers type of books with lots of action, mystery, and intrigue.  I will need to check out more of this series!

Review @ZoeChantebooks - Hunter Bear by Zoe Chant (Enforcer Bears #2)





Hunter Bear
Enforcer Bears #2
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  A BBW artist who fears she's lost her muse + a scarred, reclusive bear shifter hunting danger + a mysterious treasure map = one adventurous romance!

Curvy artist Cleo Waters has inherited an old house by a lake in Linden Creek. With her old life in ruins, she wants to take a break in the lonely forests, restoring the house her grandmother lived in. She didn't expect that it would come with a secret treasure map — or a sexy, naked man bathing in her pond!

Bear shifter Steven Anders is hunting for a criminal jaguar shifter in the woods of Linden Creek. Steven still wears the scars of the past on his body and in his heart. He has never been fond of company or settling down — until his bear sets his sight on gorgeous Cleo and recognizes his mate. But can he open his heart to love and learn to trust?

When Steven and Cleo decide to follow the directions on the treasure map, they soon end up fighting for survival in the jaguar’s lair. Lost in a system of secret underground caves, is their love enough to show them the way home? And can danger teach them to trust each other despite the ghosts of the past?

This is a sizzling hot, standalone BBW bear shifter romance, second in the Enforcer Bears series. No cliffhangers!

The cover is very nice!  It is my favorite kind of cover, but Zoe’s covers usually are awesome!

This is the 2nd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.  I would definitely read the series in order because you will know the story about the Panthers this way.

Steven has had a rough life, and he doesn’t believe he deserves forgiveness or happiness.  Yes, he did bad things, but he was trying to protect his brothers and stay alive.  Cleo is taking a break and trying to restore peace to her life and fix up her grandmother’s house.  She stumbles upon a naked Steven, and I’m not sure who was more shocked.  This was a great story with mystery, action, bear, panther, and romance.  I couldn’t put it down.

I highly recommend this book to all the shifter fans who love HEAs because Zoe does a fantastic job with a great mix of action and romance!  I can’t wait for more!
