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

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!

This cover is fabulous as all of her books are, but I do really love when the covers have both forms of the beast!

This is a standalone book though I hope the Delacourt pride has some books somewhere.  This is for adults only due to the steamy content.  Of course I own this book and lots of others by Zoe Chant as well.

This is Irina and Grant’s story, and it is action packed and filled with intrigue.  I was pulled right into the story and loved reading it.  I loved watching them grow confident in each other even with all the surprises along the way.

Zoe’s books always finish with me feeling happy and glad to have read her books.  Each of them has plenty of action and makes it hard to put the books down.  They also end in a happily ever after which makes me happy.

I highly recommend reading any of Zoe’s books because I have loved them all!

Review @laurendane - Pack Enforcer by Lauren Dane (Cascadia Wolves #1)

Pack Enforcer

Cascadia Wolves #1

by Lauren Dane

Goodreads blurb:  Previously published under a different title 

This wolf mates for life… 

Nina Reyes knows trouble when she sees it, and Lex Warden, Enforcer for the local werewolf pack, is nothing but. When her brother gets in too deep with some dangerous wolves and comes to Nina for help—dragging super alpha protector Lex into her life—she can handle it. She might have put her grifter past behind her, but she's still got what it takes. If only she didn't find Lex—his body, his scent, even his domineering nature—so intoxicating. 

As Enforcer, it's Lex's job to protect his people. Nina might be more capable of handling herself than he initially thought, but that doesn't mean she's safe from their enemies. His need to protect her is more than just pack business—Nina, a human, is his mate. Bedding her once is not even close to enough; to satisfy his wolf, he needs a true bond.  

The heat between them scares Nina, but sometimes the reward is worth the risk, and the thought of living without Lex terrifies her more than any threat the werewolf mafia can pose. Lex will do anything to keep her safe. And when the Rogues catch up to them, he'll get a chance to prove it… 

Watch for more Cascadia Wolves stories coming soon from Lauren Dane and Carina Press!

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

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!

The new cover is awesome and definitely attracts attention.

I bought this book back in 2013, but I got an updated copy through netgalley to read.  I own many of Lauren’s book, but this is my first time reading her work.  My mom and grandma have read my collection of Lauren Dane paperbacks though, but I can’t seem to talk them into reviewing books.

This is the first book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the violence and steamy scenes.

I definitely loved this book, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.  This story is about Nina and Lex.  This book has something I haven’t seen in a shifter book before regarding a tri-bond which has nothing to do with being a triad in case you are wondering.  This book had tons of action, and I love how snarky, independent, and self-assured Nina is.  This book had me laughing, yelling, and so much more.

I highly recommend this book to any wolf shifter fans especially if you already love Lauren’s work.  I’m definitely a fan of this series and want to see what happens next to the Cascadia Wolves!!

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 unicorns - I really liked it!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!

The cover is pretty cool and what attracted me to the book as well as the author.

I have bought this book.  It is the first in the series, and it is about witches.  I know that this book is classified as YA, but it probably leans more towards new adult because it is about students starting at college.

I definitely think this is a fantastic start to a series.  It is a fun, new world to explore.  There are many subjects brought up about religion, sexuality, abuse of power, murder, and definitely some mystery because I definitely didn’t see where things were going which is always a nice surprise.

Eden is a great lead, and I really like her.  I can’t wait to see what happens next and what she will learn along with her friends.  I’m also curious about a few other things and how it will turn out.

Christina is a wonderful author.  I was pulled into her story and didn’t want to put it down.  This story has a bit of everything to make it very intriguing.  I don’t want to give anything away, so I suggest reading it.  I can’t wait for book 2!!

I recommend this book to anyone loves when magic happens as well as mysteries and moral dilemmas.

Review @ZoeChantebooks - Protector Panther by Zoe Chant (Protection, Inc #3)

Protector Panther

Protection, Inc #3

by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  A curvy paramedic who doesn’t know the meaning of fear + a mysterious panther shifter bodyguard with the power to inflict terror + sinister experiments and desperate passion = one heart-pounding romance!

Paramedic Catalina Mendez just flew back to America after months of volunteering in a disaster-stricken country. Reluctant to return to her lonely home and empty bed, she decides to take a late-night stroll. Then a handsome wounded man collapses at her feet. He tells her to run to save herself, but Catalina refuses to leave him. When they're both kidnapped by a ruthless black ops agency, the adventure that follows will test her courage— and her heart— to the limit.

Panther shifter Shane Garrity is the odd man out among the bodyguards of Protection, Inc., an all-shifter private security agency. His cool exterior conceals unique powers… and dark secrets. The last thing he wants is to fall in love. But when he meets Catalina, he recognizes his mate. He’d die to protect her. But if he reveals his love, their kidnappers will use his feelings against them both.

Can Shane and Catalina break free of the sinister black ops agency? And can a fearless woman and a man who uses fear as a weapon face the one thing that scares them both, and open their hearts to love?

Protector Panther is a sizzling hot BBW panther shifter romance. It is a standalone, full-length novel. 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!!

This cover is definitely beautiful with both forms looking gorgeous!

This is the 3^rd book in the series, and it is my favorite of the series so far.  This series is for adults only due to the steamy content.  I highly recommend reading all the books in order to get the full experience and character building!  You will miss out by not doing so!

The action started on the first page and never stopped.  I wasn’t sure I would like Shane because he seemed off-putting in the other books.  This was definitely not an issue.  Shane is a rock star and one of my favs.  I knew I like Catalina from the first book with Ellie because they are both pretty cool.  Catalina is like a superhero from the beginning and awesome.  I loved every second of this book!  I don’t want to give anything away, so you need to read it to see what happens.

I love Zoe Chant’s books because they always have action and romance that just makes me happy.  I’m a sap for a happy ending!

I highly recommend this book and the whole series to all the shifter fans especially if you already love Zoe’s books!  If you have tried reading any of her books, you need to because you won’t be disappointed.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!

The cover is definitely hot!

This story was included the book Thorn that I bought.  It is a novella and for adults only due to the steamy content.

I really liked this story, but it felt familiar.  I know I’ve read another story about a shifter in a zoo.  I don’t think it was this one, but it did give me déjà vu sensations while reading it.  This story had more action which I liked, but it ended too quickly.  I would have liked more of a wrap-up than it had. I really like Felicia.  Caleb was harder to connect with, but I can’t put my finger on why.

I recommend this story to all the big cat shifter fans!

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

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!

This cover is okay.  I wish the dragon wasn’t so cartoon looking.  I do love the dragon marks though.

This is the 2^nd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.  While it isn’t mandatory for you to read the series in order, I recommend it because you will miss out on the character dynamics and patterns if you don’t!

I loved this book and couldn’t put it down.  I thought I was going to be disappointed because Lucas left town, but I was so very wrong.  I really connected with Journey and love her spirit!  And of course Lucas is a dragon prince…what!!  All sorts of intrigue and treachery to keep you fully engaged and pulled into the story.  This was an awesome story that in Zoe’s usual fashion warmed my heart and left my feeling happy!

I highly recommend this series to any shifter lovin’ reader!  If you haven’t read anything by Zoe yet, you are missing out!

Review @AshleeSinn1 - Lured by the Bear by Ashlee Sinn (Alaska Shifters #1)

Lured by the Bear

Alaska Shifters #1

by Ashlee Sinn

Goodreads blurb:  Derrick Ward has always wanted a mate. When all of his friends settle down and start a family, he wonders if it will ever happen for him. Brandt, his clan leader, has some females in mind, but Derrick refuses to accept a forced mating. And now the time has come for the shifters to reveal themselves. Derrick fears that once the world knows he’s a grizzly, he’ll never be able to find that right person to fill his den.

Julia Housten has been in love with Derrick for years. Still recovering from the negative reputation her father left behind by his failed challenge for clan leader, she worries that Derrick will never accept her as a potential mate. So when she has an opportunity to do something good for the clan, she can hardly contain herself when she learns she’ll be working with Derrick.

The International Shifter Coalition is moving forward with the big reveal while Julia and Derrick discover just how perfect they are together. But with the reveal comes a danger they hadn’t expected. A new threat that could tear them apart looms nearby, and it will take the whole clan to protect everything, and everyone, they love.


*This story contains strong sexual themes, sensual shifters, and delicious romance for insatiable appetites. It is intended for a mature audience. This is a stand-alone novella with no cliff-hanger. * 

About the Author:  Ashlee Sinn fancies all creatures of the paranormal persuasion, especially those who like to bite. Her steamy romances tend to feature swoon-worthy heroes and kick-ass heroines. Whether its vampires, shifters, or demons, the women who keep them in line have a special place in her heart. And in her chaotic head.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!

The cover is pretty awesome, but I do love having both beasts on the cover!

This is the first book in the series, but it seems this is a spin-off series from the Callaghan Clan.  It is of course for adults only due to the steamy content.

I stumbled onto book 2 when I was looking around for something new, and I was intrigued and the sale helped.  I picked them all up, but I wish I would have known to read the other series first because I bet it would have made things click more.  I will definitely be reading those.

I really liked Derrick and Julia, but I felt like I was missing pieces to the back story.  I think I would have loved this if I read the other series first.  I don’t like feeling like I’m missing things when references are made.

I recommend this book to bear lovers, but if you are like me, you might want to read the other series first.
