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

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  I own this set, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! 

This is the complete set which I’m assuming was originally a serial series, and it is for adult only due to the steamy content.  Obviously, it is important to read these books in order since it was a serial.  This book does switch points of view often, but each chapter tells you whose POV it is in.  I know this is a point of contention for some readers, so I thought I give you a heads up if you don’t like this.

I have read this book over a couple day because it is long with more than 100 chapters in it.  I really enjoyed the book though it was emotional for sure because there are happy moments, but there are also moments of rage and profound sadness.  I was thrown for several loops throughout the book.  In this book, good people do bad things, and bad people do some good things.  It really mimics life because both bad and good things happen to the characters.  I really enjoy this world, and Annie, Carly, and Sierra are my favorites.  I love how they are called, and they are tied with the special tattoo.  This book has bear shifters, true mates, treachery, tragedy, magic, and more.

I recommend this set to bear shifter fans who like complex stories where everything isn’t perfect!  I can’t wait to read more in this world!  I want to see what happens with Annie, and hope I get to know more about what happens in the clan.

Wolf Hunter

Arctic Brotherhood #5

by Jane Godman

Goodreads blurb:  The fifth book in the new Arctic Brotherhood series--heart-pounding werewolf romances by Jane Godman that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

They are the Arctic Brotherhood. 

They are deadly fighters, fierce protectors and loyal mates. 

Six months ago, the Arctic Brotherhood was torn apart when a respected former member, Hendrik Rickard was murdered. Cindy Harper, Hendrik’s best friend and housekeeper, is still struggling to come to terms with his death when she feels an invisible presence watching her. Alone and frightened, she turns to the only man who can help her.

Sebastian Novak is the maverick of the Arctic Brotherhood. Infuriated at the lack of progress they have made toward defeating their sworn enemy, Chastel, Sebastian wants to go on the attack. The discovery that Cindy is being targeted, increases his fury further. Forced to deny his feelings for Cindy in the past, Sebastian is overwhelmed by the strength of his desire for her as he protects her from this new threat.

Sebastian and Cindy succumb to the intensity of the attraction between them, but their lives are thrown into turmoil by a series of unexpected events. Before they can claim the happiness they have long denied themselves, they must face the evil mastermind determined to destroy the brotherhood.

About the Author:  Jane Godman writes paranormal romance for Harlequin Nocturne and SMP Swerve, thrillers for Harlequin Romantic Suspense, and steamy historical and gothic romances.

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

***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!

This is the 5th book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.  While not required, I highly recommend reading the series in order because it makes it more everything when you do.

This is Sebastian and Cindy’s story, but they have a hard time as well as the whole brotherhood with the things being thrown at them.  Sebastian is the one who thinks outside of the box, but he also tends to punish himself.  You will have to read this story to get the real story.  Cindy has had a hard time throughout her time, and you learn more about her and those times where I don’t know if I could have survived and been a beautiful being like she is.  Both deserve their happiness!  As always in this series, it is an action-packed story with tons going on!  You are never bored in this series!

I highly recommend to all wolf shifter fans who love action, battling for wolf and human kind, and love!  I can’t wait to read book 6!

Review @JessieDauthor - Craved by the Dragon by Jessie Donovan (Stonefire Dragons #11)

Craved by the Dragon

Stonefire Dragons #11

by Jessie Donovan

Goodreads blurb:   STONEFIRE DRAGONS BOOK 11
All non-Irish dragon-shifters are being banished from Ireland and Brenna Rossi’s only chance to stay with the clan she’s grown to love is to mate one of the Irish dragons—Killian O’Shea. Even though he’s lost his memory and and his dragon, she’s drawn to him and looks forward to some no strings attached heat between the sheets. However, the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that maybe she does want a future with Killian. The only question is whether or not there will be one.

Killian O’Shea lost his dragon and his memory. He has no idea who he is or why everyone keeps asking him to remember them. The only person who doesn’t try to change him is Brenna Rossi, which is why he agreed to mate her. But just as he starts to enjoy his new bride, Killian learns that whatever drug had been used on him isn’t finished yet and that maybe there are worse things in the world than losing your memory.

As things deteriorate, Brenna tries to do everything she can to keep Killian whole and sane. But the more she helps him, the more she starts to wonder if she’ll lose the man she’s falling for. Will Brenna and Killian find a way to bring back his memories and dragon? Or, will they forge a new path to be together?

79,000 words with a happy ending. 

About the Author:  Jessie Donovan wrote her first story at age five, and after discovering the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey in junior high, realized that people actually wanted to read stories like those floating around inside her head. From there on out, she was determined to tap into her over-active imagination and write a book someday.

After living abroad for five years and earning degrees in Japanese, Anthropology, and Secondary Education, she buckled down and finally wrote her first full-length book. While that story will never see the light of day, it laid the world-building groundwork of what would become her debut paranormal romance, Blaze of Secrets.

Jessie loves to interact with readers. When not reading or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, can often be found on Facebook and Twitter.

The one thing you'll find in all of Jessie's stories are strong, capable women and the people who love them.

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 another beauty!  They all work well together!  I can’t even describe why it works… it just does!

This is the 11^th book in the Stonefire series, and while not required, I highly recommend reading all of the dragon books in the order written for the most awesome adventure possible!  It is for adult only due to the scorching steamy scenes!

Poor Killian is trying to figure out who he is because of his loss of memory and dragon.  Everyone is working to figure out what happened and what caused all the trouble, so they can prevent further attacks.  Brenna is amazing and strong though she doesn’t think so.  Brenna and Killian both need each other in more ways than they have figured out.  There is all sorts of cool things happening in this book that has never happened before, but I refuse to ruin it for you!  You must read it for yourself because there are amazing things going on in this book!  There is also some sadness with the happiness that made me cry.  This book has it all and makes for an awesome reading adventure!

I highly recommend to all dragon shifter lovers out there; if you haven’t read any of Jessie’s books, then you are missing out!  She is one of my favorite authors, and I always know I’m in for a great read with her books!

Review @AuthorMFox - Rare Stakes by Michelle Fox (Eternal Child #1)

Rare Stakes

Eternal Child #1

by Michelle Fox

Goodreads blurb:  As an FBI agent, I kick ass. As a psychic FBI agent, I always get the bad guy—until I'm assigned a Dracula copycat case that bites back. Getting my man this time means entering a mysterious underworld where, not every serial killer is human, not every case can be solved, and not everyone can survive.

Standalone urban fantasy novel. No cliff hanger.

EXCERPT

The most innocent things could hold more darkness than I ever wanted to see.

Today's example: Takeout.

What could be so terrible about takeout? Normally, it was awesome. I lived on the stuff. I read the menus like the bible. But this wasn't that kind of takeout.

I stared at the Styrofoam containers on the table. My stomach was already cringing, looking for a place to hide. The containers gleamed virgin white under the fluorescent lights of the FBI conference room, but their contents were not quite so pure.

Each carton had a handwritten label on top. One read, Marion—bright and charming. Another read Stacey—good body. The last, Eileen—agreeable.

The writing was large with strong vertical strokes and half-closed loops. I wondered what a handwriting analyst would make of it.

Was there a particular flourish that indicated someone was a cannibal? 

About the Author:  A USA Today & NY Times bestselling author, Michelle Fox lives in the Midwest with her husband, kids, the occasional exchange student and two, sweetly disobedient dogs. She loves fantasy and romance, which makes writing paranormal romance a natural fit.

In her spare time, she's been known to shake her bon-bon at Zumba, make spectacular cheesecakes, hoard vintage costume jewelry and eat way too much ice cream (Ben and Jerry’s Karamel Sutra for the win!).

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 have already bought my copy; have you?

The cover makes her look like a kick butt FBI agent! 

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

Wow, this book through me for a loop in the first couple of pages, and if you are wondering what it was just read the blurb with the excerpt!  I wondered what I got myself into but to answer that question, a phenomenal book.  I was so into the book in the first chapter that I couldn’t put the book down.  I loved this world and the characters in it!  This world is complex with some new paranormal creatures in it making it very unique.  I loved the action and mystery involved with the crime solving.  I love when I can’t guess what is going to happen next because it is not predictable and makes for an exciting read.  Mel is a character that I like and want to read more about her, her boyfriend, Maxim, and what happens with them all!

I highly recommend to all paranormal fans who love complicated new worlds with all sorts of paranormal shenanigans mixed with mystery and intrigue galore!

Review @ZoeChantebooks - Mated to the Earth Dragon by Zoe Chant (Elemental Mates #2)

Mated to the Earth Dragon

Elemental Mates #2

by Zoe Chant

Goodreads blurb:  He's a powerful dragon shifter hunting a dangerous enemy.
She's just hoping for a relaxing vacation.
Only their love can save the world…

Curvy Autumn Carter is a sheltered travel agent who has never traveled. But after planning her trip of a lifetime to Iceland down to the last hotel and landmark, she's forced to throw all her plans out the window when a hot-as-blazes dragon shifter and a bunch of homicidal fire dragons crash her vacation!

Damon Drago is the powerful Dragon of the Earth, member of the Council of Elements. On the trail of dangerous fire dragons in Iceland, he instead finds what he least expected - his mate. Her luscious curves kindle a passion hot enough to melt the ice and make him want to forget all about his duty - but the fire dragons have other plans. Now his mate is in deadly danger and only Damon can protect her, by whisking her away to a secret shifter town hidden in the mountains.

But when the fire dragons attack the seat of the Council of Elements itself, nowhere is safe. Is the power of Damon’s element strong enough to protect his mate? Or will dragon's fire burn hotter than their love?

Combining romance, action, and magical dragon shifters, Mated to the Earth Dragon 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 Earth Dragon 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 received a review copy of 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 fabulous cover!

This is the 2^nd book in the series of Elemental Mates.  There are no aliens; the dragon wields the earth element.  This is for adults only due to the steamy content.

This was another action-packed adventure of a story.  Zoe always manages to have great mix in her books that blends into a wonderful read with shifters, battles, treachery, romance, and all wrapped up in an HEA bow!

This is Damon the earth wielding dragon’s story.  He is looking for where the fire dragons are hiding, and he stumbles onto his mate.  Autumn is taking her dream vacation, but things are getting bumpy.  She puts her life into the hands of a handsome stranger that she makes a connection with.  I couldn’t put the book down, and I’m intrigued by what is happening with the new plinth and the captive fire dragon.  I don’t want to ruin anything for you, so you will have to read it to see what I’m talking about!

I highly recommend to all dragon shifter fans because this exciting story made it impossible to put it down!  I can’t wait to see what happens next in this story, but I love all of Zoe’s worlds!
