Review @TJShawAuthor - Rogue Dragon Rising Part One by T.J. Shaw (Outside the Veil #1)





Rogue Dragon
Rising
Outside the Veil #1
by T.J. Shaw

Goodreads blurb:  Twenty-three year old, Amari Hawke, is thrust into the world of two-soul shifters when she is injured and kidnapped by trackers outside the veil, beyond the safety of her homeland. Unable to remember her past, she trusts no one and relies on instinct to survive. As her awakening approaches, the first time she will transition into her animal, she must evade rogue shifters trying to capture her.

Now free from the King’s Army, powerful dragon lord, Jaxon Blackthorn, seeks a peaceful life. Intent on building his lands into a viable plantation, away from war and bloodshed, he is reluctantly pulled back into the fight when he defends the mysterious shifter with no past against an unseen enemy.

As evil threatens to destroy the entire realm, can the battle-hardened warrior and coming-of-age noblewoman accept their differences to forge an alliance that will ultimately unite the shifter nations?

Please note: Both Rogue Dragon Rising and the subsequent novel, Sleeping Dragon Stirs, end in cliffhangers. The third book in the serial trilogy, Alpha Dragon Awakes, provides a satisfying conclusion to Jaxon and Amari’s story, but broader story arcs continue into the Outside the Veil series. Sleeping Dragon Stirs has an early November release date and Alpha Dragon Awakes is set to release in late December, 2018.


About the Author:  As a child, TJ thrived in the Arizona desert. By the age of five she was riding horses through cotton fields and by eleven bought her first motorcycle, a Honda 125cc dirt bike. Growing up with teachers as parents meant traveling during the summer. Hiking, backpacking, fly fishing, climbing pyramids, surviving earthquakes, and flying in hot air balloons were just some of her adventures. An avid day dreamer, she would lose herself in mystical worlds and far off places limited only by her imagination. After choosing an academic scholarship over an athletic basketball scholarship, she graduated law school and accepted a position as a Deputy County Attorney. However, prosecuting felony crimes was not as exciting as she hoped, so she traded in her briefcase and the courtroom for a Glock and patrol car. She worked the road as a police officer for five years and now tells officers what to do as a policy writer for a police department. TJ writes from her heart by incorporating her dreams and experiences to create strong, passionate characters who must overcome personal flaws to survive against the challenges of traversing through magical realms, undiscovered planets, and apocalyptic catastrophes.

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 bought this book, and I can’t wait to read more of this author’s work!

The cover is great, and it is what drew my attention to this book because I have never read this author before.

This is the first book in a serial trilogy, and this means that there are 3 parts that go together to tell one story, and they end in cliffhangers until the 3rd book.  Some people may not like serials, and if you are one of them wait and read all 3 books together once they publish.  This is for adults only and does have sensitive topics including abduction and selling people.

This is a unique shifter world where not all shifters can handle the transformation and those who don’t go rogue and hurt people.  In this world, shifters are divided into carnivores and herbivores where carnivores tend to protect those under their care.  Amari lives in the Veil, but she ventured outside.  Now she is hurt, and she has amnesia.  All sorts of chaos and adventure happens to her along the way, and she has secrets even she doesn’t know about.  This was a quick read that I loved, but I hated when it ended.  I can’t wait to read the next part!

I highly recommend to any shifter fan who want a new and unique world where you won’t know what will happen next!

Review @Violet__Vaughn - Save a Horse, Ride a Werewolf by V. Vaughn (Smokey Falls Wolves #2)





Save a Horse,
Ride a Werewolf
Smokey Falls Wolves #2
by V. Vaughn

Goodreads blurb:  As a child, Jayden used to imagine finding her true love and having a storybook wedding. As an adult, she never expected it to come true. She grew up with a single mother and knew the harsh reality of not-so-happy endings. Meeting Alex and discovering the true-mate love of a werewolf was a dream come true. Now Jayden’s planning her wedding and looking forward to becoming a werewolf and part of a big family in the form of a wolf pack.  But Jayden’s picture-perfect life is threatened the day her mother comes to town. While Rosemary doesn’t know about werewolves, a secret that has to be kept in order to keep the Smokey Falls pack safe, that’s the least of Jayden’s problems. Rosemary has a way of getting what she wants, and in the process of fighting to have the wedding of her dreams, Jayden alienates Alex. When he tells Jayden he’s no longer sure she’s fit to be a werewolf, she has to learn to accept the most important thing of all – the love of family.   


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 will collect this series when I can!

This is the 2nd book in this series, and it is for adults only due to adult content.  I recommend reading the series in order because events from book 1 are mentioned, and it is where Jayden and Alex met.

This was a fun read especially with all the trouble Rosemary keeps getting into though not all is on purpose.  Jayden has a hard time seeing that her mom has changed from when she was growing up.  It takes some tough love from Alex and Juliet before she starts seeing more clearly.  I enjoyed this book as much as book 1.  I can’t wait to see whose story is next!

I highly recommend to any wolf pack fans because pack sticks together!

Review @ZoeChantebooks - Mated to the Griffin by Zoe Chant (Elemental Mates #5)





Mated to
the Griffin
Elemental Mates #5
by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  She hunts the supernatural - and finds a griffin of her own.

Everyone calls Chiara crazy werewolf lady. But the curvy journalist is determined to prove the supernatural is real. Even if it means her friends and family abandon her. She has a plan, and she'll fight this battle on her own if she has to. That is, until she runs into a mysterious, hot-as-blazes man with light-filled eyes, and starts to dream of a future where she doesn't have to fight alone...

Loyal, honorable and devoted to his duty, Griffin shifter Jared hides his loneliness behind smiles. His work has taken the place of the family he's never known. Until quirky Chiara with her mermaid hair and theories about aliens crashes into his life. Suddenly, there's something more than duty to live for.

But with an evil shadow dragon after them and only an ancient map to guide their search for the fifth elemental dragon, their failure could destroy the world. And as the sparks between them turn into a passion impossible to resist, a terrible, ancient enemy finally reveals itself. Soon, the world could fall to Darkness...

Will losing their hearts win the war?

Combining romance, action, and magical dragon and griffin shifters, Mated to the Griffin will delight fans of TS Joyce, Terry Bolryder, and Harmony Raines. All books in the Elemental Mates series are standalone romances and can be read in any order. No cliffhangers! If you love intense paranormal romance with powerful dragons who want to protect the world, pick up Mated to the Griffin today!
  


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!!  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!

The cover is matches with the rest of the series perfectly!

This is the 5th book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.  While not required, I highly recommend reading this series in order because they do bring up events from previous books.

Zoe Chant is one of my favorite authors.  She always gets the mix of action to romance just right where you can’t put the book down because you are compelled to keep reading it.

This is Jared’s story, and he meets his mate Chiara.  She has had a negative experience with the paranormal world on multiple occasions, and Jared needs to change her mind.  They have a bumpy road along the way, but together they can do anything.  I’m hoping the end is foreshadowing what I think will happen in Gareth’s story.  I can’t wait to find out!

I highly recommend to any shifter fan who loves complex shifter worlds filled with unique shifters especially if you already love Zoe’s work!  I can’t wait for more!

Review - Leaping Into Love by S.M. Freed (Callahan's Pack #2)





Leaping Into Love
Callahan's Pack #2
by S.M. Freed

Goodreads blurb:  Shawn had always dreamed her mate was out there somewhere, but after being held as a sex slave, she gave up hope. Taking care of two orphans was all the future held for her now.

While rescuing a group of women and children, Remy never expected to find his mate. He hoped it would be a smooth courtship, but the danger is still lurking in the shadows.

Will fate take Shawn away from him before he can make her his?


About the Author:  I grew up in North Iowa where I have lived all my life. I live now with my cat Smokey and my dog Binky.

I am a mother of 1 daughter and a grandma to 5 boys.

I have been reading for a very long time and for the past 8   years I have been a reviewer and BETA for several authors.

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 bought this book and can’t wait for more!

This is the 2nd book in the series, and it is for adults only.  This book does continue to touch on sensitive topics of abuse to women and children and how they struggle to move past PTSD.  I highly recommend reading this series in order, so you understand the pack’s history and struggle.  This book is longer about 100 pages.

Wow, loved this book, and it had me crying several times both for and with the characters.  So much happening in this book, and I learned so many new things about this world and the characters like about Royals and Kiko.  Remy and Shawn are amazing to and for each other.  I love how they are with the kids, and it makes me happy when kids are happy especially after what they all went through they all deserve some kindness and happiness.  They only thing I didn’t like was that it ended because I wanted more.  I can’t wait to for the next book to see if Shelly and Kiko get their happy ending too!

I highly recommend to anyone who love shifters of all kinds and a complex story of finding your way to happiness!
