Review @SableSylvan - Beauty and the Bobcats by Sable Sylvan (Fated Mate Speed Date #4)





Beauty
and the Bobcats
 Fated Mate Speed Date #4
by Sable Sylvan

Goodreads blurb:  When curvy interior designer Grace Rose goes to Fated Mate Speed Date, she's looking to find her prince in shining armor. Instead, she ends up with three bobcat beaus. The werebobcats aren't just shifters. They're cowboys, all working on the same dude ranch. How will Grace managed dating three different cowboys while organizing the Fallowedirt Gala? After some down and dirty muddin' and one heck of a bachelor auction, will the beasts get their beauty, and will the beauty learn to accept her beasts?

Grace Rose has no time for romance, but she's making time to find her one special man. The only question is, will she choose the classic cowboy Michael or the Louisiana gentleman Darcy? Or, will Fate lead her into the arms of Steve, the Yankee cowpoke? Grace can only pick one of the cowboys to be her boyfriend. Why? Because there's three things Grace doesn't have time for: drama, secrets, and ménages. She's too busy organizing the Fallowedirt Gala to try and navigate a ménage.

Alpha male Michael, dandy Darcy, and dad material Steve may all seem different, but the three bobcats share more than a job and rock-hard cowboy abs. They share not one, but two secrets. While their BBW may be used to black tie galas, the shifters have a different kind of 'black tie' in mind. When Grace learns their secrets, will she accept them? Or will these bobcats get pricked by their rose's thorns?

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 ménage a trois, plus one? And most importantly, do you think that grandmas and pies can save the frikkin' world?

Then check out "Beauty And The Bobcats", 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.


About the Author:  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.

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!! And I have bought my own copy as I do most of Sable’s books!

The cover is awesome because it has beautiful kitties!

This is the 4th book in this series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.  You can read this book at any time.  A warning to readers that this book is dirtier both literally and figuratively than any of the other books in this series.  It is not tame at all you must like books with BDSM ménages. 

This book seemed more about the sex than the story for me which I liked, but it is not my favorite book in the series.  I liked the bobcats, but with Grace, I had a hard time connecting with her.  She was hot and cold for me.  I love the theme of helping your community with fundraisers that runs in each book.  Their happily ever after was great too!

I recommend this book to ménage lovin’ shifter fans who don’t mind when it is really dirty!  I can’t wait to see what Sable comes up with next!

Review & Giveaway @pmillhouse - Hunters' Watch Brigade: The Game by Paula Millhouse (HWB #2)





Hunters' Watch Brigade: The Game
Hunters’ Watch Brigade #2
by Paula Millhouse

Goodreads blurb:  Hunters' Watch Brigade, Book 2

“A truly remarkable literary piece you would love from beginning to end.”—Bibliophile Angel Reviews on Hunters’ Watch Brigade: Initiation

A demigod’s work is never done . . .

All monster hunter Samantha Silverton wants is a little R&R. She and her sexy partner/cat shifter Max have a week off in the city that never sleeps, and she intends to enjoy it. But before she can pack her suitcase, she’s caught up in the middle of a wicked game—a smartphone app driven scavenger hunt that’s bringing all the big, bad supernaturals to NYC to play. The bad part? The game was the brainchild of Alex Van Dam—Sam’s first love. What’s worse? She has to play alone.

Maximillion Ra hasn’t quite got a handle on his unique shifter magic yet. He’s in love with Sam, but if he’s ever going to be any good to her, he has to face his family’s curse. But how can he leave Sam now, especially with her old flame in the picture?

Alex Van Dam isn’t interested in who wins his game. He just wants to find the final prize—an ancient Greek relic. Once he has it, he’ll use the artifact’s magic to control all the supernaturals in Manhattan, starting with the Hunters’ Watch Brigade.

Only Sam stands in his way. And without Max by her side, even the monster hunting daughter of Poseidon has to wonder if she stands a chance . . . 


About the Author:  Paula Millhouse was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, where Spanish moss whispers tales in breezes from the Atlantic Ocean to her soul. As a child, she soaked in the sunshine and heritage of cobblestones, pirate lore, and stories steeped in savory mysteries of the South.

She lives in the mountains now, but honors her Southern heritage as a story teller by sharing high-heat adventures with her readers. Escape your daily routine with books where justice does exist, true love is worth fighting for, and happily ever afters are expected.

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!  Love this series!  I will be buying the whole series when I can!

The cover is beautiful and eye catching…at least to me it is!

This is the 2nd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content and violence.  I highly recommend reading the books in order, so you understand the world and characters.  This is an amazing world, and you don’t want to miss any of it!

I love how feisty Sam is, and she is always wanting to do things her way.  Sam and Max get into some trouble with Shade where Shade places all the blame on Max.  His powers are still wonky, and he needs to deal with the family curse.  Max likes to protect everyone, and he loves Sam.  There is all sorts of adventure in this book.  It is a page-turner that I couldn’t put down.  I love books like this that are packed with action where you never know what will happen next.  I don’t want to give anything away, so read this series!

I highly recommend to any paranormal fan because this book has it all!  There is magic, witches, vamps, shifters, gods & goddess (both Greek and Egyptian), demigods, and a lot of awesomeness!  I can’t wait for the next book!!

Review @cynthiaeden - Wicked and Wild by Cynthia Eden (Bad Things #7)





Wicked and Wild
Bad Things #7
by Cynthia Eden

Goodreads blurb:  She was wicked…

Everyone knew that Valerie Storm was the baddest bit—um, witch on the block. She might look like Snow White, but she had the heart of the wicked queen. She turned her enemies to ash, she danced on their graves, and she had to be stopped. But who could stand up to someone so wicked?

He was wild.

Griffin Bastien was the most powerful shifter to ever walk the earth. His claws had sent plenty of his foes to the grave. Bloodlust burned fast and hard within him, and when his beast took over, there was no stopping him.

Then Wicked met Wild.

Neither of them believed in love. And neither of them ever expected the firestorm that ignited when they kissed. But some things—some people—can’t be controlled. The need that Valerie and Griffin feel for each other, the white-hot lust, will change their world.

Even hell doesn’t burn this hot.

Too bad that Griffin has been keeping secrets. Too bad that he is the original assassin sent to destroy Valerie. Because when she finds out the truth, there will be no greater fury than a wicked witch betrayed. Even the biggest, baddest beast might discover that he’s absolutely lost when a witch casts her spell, and he will be willing to do anything to reclaim the mate he never expected.

Buckle up, it’s gonna be a wild ride.

Author's Note: WICKED AND WILD is a complete, stand-alone story that is set in the world of my "Bad Things" paranormal books. Expect a sexy alpha, a very fierce heroine, and hot times ahead.  


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 .

***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 bought this book and own the whole series!  I need to get on the ball and read the ones I’ve missed in this series!
     
The cover is tame, and you would never guess it is a paranormal book!

This is the 7th book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.  Yes, you can read this book as a standalone, but I’m guess that it would be even more awesome reading the series in order.  I haven’t read Mora and Leo’s story yet, but now I want to.

Every book I’ve read my Cynthia Eden to date, I have loved.  I think I’m going to have to read everything I have in my library by her (25 in my kindle library and paperbacks too but I haven’t counted those yet) because her books are complex, action-packed, page-turners that are just amazing!

This story starts in a dungeon with a dragon and a crazy witch.  It starts with action and never stops.  Griffin doesn’t seem like he lets himself be open to relationships, and he stumbles along the way.  Valerie hides behind a mask, so you learn bits and pieces about the real her which is hidden behind a crazy evil mask.  Griffin was stupid a couple times where he hurt Valerie, and Valerie was a mystery that was an adventure to learn about.  I loved every minute of this book.  I can’t wait to read the books I’ve missed because I know they will be more adventures.

I highly recommend to any paranormal fan because this series has everything!  There are witches, magic, Fate, shifters, Medusa, Djinn, and so much more that you will love!  I can’t wait to read another book!

Review @HVLong - Bitten Under Fire by Heather Long (Bravo Team WOLF #2)





Bitten Under Fire
Bravo Team WOLF #2
by Heather Long

Goodreads blurb:  Bianca Devlin’s work is her life. Now, she’s finally taking a vacation…and guerillas hit her resort to kidnap a diplomat’s son. She does the only thing that makes sense—intervene to save the child’s life. Being dragged into the jungle with a scared kid she’s determined to protect was definitely not how she saw this trip ending.

After she returns to Texas, the last person Bianca expected to see was Sergeant Carlos “Cage” Castillo, the member of Bravo Team WOLF that helped rescue her. Nevertheless, there he is, living across the street from the house she just bought. The coincidence is alarming, but she has to admit, his presence isn’t entirely unwanted.

But there’s something off about Cage—the way he can move without a sound or the weird way his eyes seem to almost glow at times. And how can Bianca manage her growing attraction, when everything she knows about him and his reason for being there, turns out to be a lie?


About the Author:  USA Today bestselling author Heather Long likes long walks in the park, science fiction, superheroes, Marines, and men who aren’t douche bags. She writes snarky women tangled in romance as hot as Texas summertime. From paranormal historical westerns to contemporary military romance, Heather might switch genres, but one thing is true in all of her stories—the characters drive the books. When she’s not wrangling her menagerie of animals, Heather devotes herself to her family, remembering a time when her Nan used to read her steamy Harlequin novels instead of picture books. Heather believes if you like your heroes so real you could lick the grit off their chest and your heroines so likable, you’re sure you were friends with someone just like them once, you’ll enjoy her worlds almost as much as she does.

***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 have bought this book and the first one too!

The cover is what attracted me to the book because military and shifters means must read!

This is my first time reading Heather’s work though I’m not sure why since I own 26 of her books currently.  This is the 2nd book in this series, and it is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.  You should be aware that there is abuse by guerillas in this book, so take appropriate action for you.

This book was action-packed and humorous!  I love both Bianca and Cage’s senses of humor.  They fit together and are a matched set.  Bianca can definitely take care of herself, but now Cage wants to protect her.  The camaraderie with Cage’s unit is awesome.  I love how they all come together to help Cage.  HEAs are my favorite kind of book especially where shifters are involved.  I can’t wait to go read book 1 and more of Heather’s books that I own.  I really liked Heather’s writing style and the humor that went into it.

I highly recommend to wolf shifter lovers who love military men, romance, and HEAs!

Review @Violet__Vaughn - Look What You Made Me Bear by V. Vaughn (Bewitched by the Bear #4)





Look What You Made Me Bear
A Shifters in Love Fun & Flirty Romance
Bewitched by the Bear #4
by V. Vaughn

Goodreads blurb:  Five years ago, Elise left Maine and the taboo love of her life with a plan to return the next summer. But when she got back to college for her final year, she discovered she’d discovered she returned with more than sweet memories. She was pregnant with a werebear’s children. In a world where werebear are not welcome, Elise learned to use her magic to keep the bear side of her twin girls hidden, but her luck was being tested. In desperation to keep her children safe she returns to Maine, and her great aunt, the clan’s medicine woman, with the hope of a solution. While Elise is willing to make sacrifices for her girls, one comes at a cost she’s not prepared to pay—telling Ian what she’s done. Seeing the father of her children again makes the strong connection of their love come rushing back, and suddenly she’s paralyzed with fear. Because once he finds out the truth, she may lose him forever.    


About the Author:  V. Vaughn is the pen name for Violet Vaughn, a USA Today Bestselling author. Violet lives in New Hampshire and spends almost every day walking through the woods. She may have seen a bear once or twice....

***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 do plan on collecting the whole series when I can.

This is the 4th book in the Bewitched by the Bear series.  This is a novella length, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.

This is Elise and Ian’s story of the LeRoux clan.  Elisa is Kimi’s niece.  She has come back to get help from Kimi with her bear shifting twins.  She is going back to the love of her life and worried that he will hate her forever.  She has only wanted to protect her twins.  The twins are adorable and made me cry once or twice.  There was a lot of steam and drama from Elise and Ian.  They got their act together in the end for their happily ever after.

I really love these stories, but they end much too quickly because I want to know what happens next and more about these families.  I can’t wait to see what happens next.

I highly recommend to anyone who loves bear shifters especially if you love single moms trying to get it all done by herself until she realizes she needs some help with unique bear issues!

Review @Terrybelle13 - A Home for her Hawk by Summer Donnelly (Shifter Special Forces #4)





A Home
for her Hawk
Shifter Special Forces #4
by Summer Donnelly

Goodreads blurb:  A single mom burned by love + a sexy hawk shifter with a life-altering injury = a love they can’t deny.

Where has living by the rules gotten Kimber Bromstadt? Waiting tables and living off the charity of others with her newborn son in a little yellow cabin in North Carolina.
Hawk shifter Daniel Donofrio is hiding out and healing on Maxwell Mountain. While trying to come to terms with an injury that cost him the freedom to soar without limits in the sky, he meets and is instantly attracted to the young single mom.
Can a man raised without affection find love in the arms of a woman burned by marriage? And as their attraction and sparks fly, will they find the strength to cope with a threat to their family?

This is a short, 20k word novella full of slightly grumpy shifter dudes and the women who love them.  


About the Author:  Reader Beware! Author believes in love at first sight, fairy tales, happily ever afters, insta-love, and happy endings.

Sweet, frothy romance between strong women finding their way in life and love and the men who capture their hearts.

Lots of emphasis on strong female friendships.

***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 bought this book, and I own the whole series so far!

The cover is awesome!  I love birds of prey!

This is the 4th book in this series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.  While not required, I would read all the books in order, so you know the world and the characters because it makes it more amazing!  This is a quick read and only about 75 pages long.

Kimber is Hunter’s sister, and she is a single mom.  She is feeling overwhelmed as a new mom and like she is a burden to their community.  Daniel has his own issues due to losing one of his eyes.  They both have emotional baggage, but they are drawn to each other.  This was a page turner, and I like the nice things that Daniel does for Kimber.  There is a little excitement, but it is most just them trying to get to know each other while working through their issues.  I related to Kimber being a single mom, and it felt real.  I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series.

I highly recommend to any shifter fan who wants a quick read about military shifters who need some happiness!  Awesome series!
