Review: Bear with Benefits: BBW Bear Shifter Paranormal Romance

Bear with Benefits: BBW Bear Shifter Paranormal Romance by Truli Thorne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

no more love for her, no more romance. she's done, she's had enough. the thing she wants now is a friend, a friend with benefits.
rex happens to overhear her ranting and as good challenges her for said position.
their bantering is just fun to read and you just know that from the get go that she can't do just "with benefits". rex on the other hand has his own agenda. for 6 months he's been trying to ignore her, the disease that the clan is fighting being more important then his bear's urging for him to claim his mate. but enough is enough, when he hears her rambling he jumps in. their connection is real and even with her trying to set some ground rules, they're just there to be broken, every single one of them.
join the seattle shifters as another couple-bond is formed and as they look for a cure for the disease that is wrecking havoc in the bearclan!
really enjoyed reading this installment and i'll wait patiently for more about the bear-clan! loved the bantering, loved their interaction, loved it all. nice, quick, romantic and hot!

Liam's Bride by Emma Alisyn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

we start the series with the alpha of the clan. he bought the local school complex and is planning to overhaul it completely. that is until meredith enters the picture and fights for her own program and students. she actually has a smart pitch to convince him to let her stay.
she's more then intriguing him and his bear and it doesn't take him long before he's on board with his bear, that they both want to see a lot more of her.
when meredith figures out who the new owner is, she plans on how to plea for her students. the other big secret is harder to come clean with because it's her father that has killed his father but she feels responsible for her father's actions because back then she was acting like a spoiled little child.

how will this turn out? how will liam take the news about who she really is? how will the rest of his clan react to that?
is there something worth saving?

a good start to this series about the conroy clan! quick reads that help you get through a few gaps throughout the day.

Review: Seducing a Wolf

Seducing a Wolf by Krystal Shannan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

the plot thickens as alejandro is sent in to try and grab the tablet juliana uses to control everything in the hotel she manages for her father (that bad guy).
only all good thoughts fly out the window when alejandro and juliana come together for the first time and second and third. alejandro is pretty sure that juliana doesn't really know what is going on and would prefer to come clean with her and also with the fact he wants more, a lot more. but that all comes to a stop when the rest of his team barges in and mucks things up big time.

will they be able to figure things out or is the deceit to great to overcome? will they get closer to the monster of a man who's responsible for the unbound wolves?

book five is steaming, sizzling and well yeah : another one bites the dust.
i'm curious as what is in store for us in the next part. curious if they'll get closer to finding "him"

The Werewolf Bodyguard by Camryn Rhys
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

in the previous book you've seen that reyna has found her mate and decided to stay with her sheriff. this means leaving behind her family and friends back in vegas. her BFF aria feels the loss big time and sets out into the city that never sleeps, hoping to find some distraction to pass the time. she runs into marco, a chef and as she later finds out an unbound wolf, a wolf without a pack. the attraction is there and when she listens to her wolf she has to admit that her wolf made a nice choice when she claims that marco is their fated mate. him being unbound may prove to be a small hurdle to have to jump and part of that story picks up with what is told in previous books and continues in this one.
but then the big question is : how does marco take all this? he never knew there were more like him...

this is only book 2 and i'm happy to know there will be a few more! the main story is stand alone so you won't be kept hanging when it's about the couple. i do like that the secondary story flows well from one book to the other and you see the progress they are making.

if you think book 1 was good then this one can't be overlooked!

Dante is restless, his bear is restless. they both want their mate. years he has waited and hoped to find his mate on bear mountain but nothing, nada zilg. making up his mind, he decides that the way forward is leaving his mountain and going into the city. his mate must be there!

once there once person keeps popping up, a big hulking man, one gorgeous specimen of mankind. but the words coming out of his mouth don't make sense even though the timbre of his voice does things to her body nobody has ever done before.
what's all this about bears, mates and forever?

dante is one persistent bear, have to give him credit in that regard. really loved this story, at one point i did wish i could clobber tawny, stubborn girl!! a lovely bear shifter story that would sit nice in between your other shifter stories.

Review: Underground Heat, A Paranormal Romance Boxed Set

Underground Heat, A Paranormal Romance Boxed Set by Ann Gimpel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

short recap of book one :
roman's gold:
in this shifter world shifters are the new black. they're hunted and killed, shunned and discriminated. if you're a half blood shifter you still went to jail, only when you have 25% you have a shot at a life. devon is one of them. he saw no other option as to join the police force and enter a special program. only this special program was that: special. all of them were injected with a special formula that would heighten their shifter senses. only devon is finding out that hard way a lot more is happening when he's ordered to follow Kate and take her out. but that is beside the wolf that has awoken in him and quickly his hunt has another objective because killing is no longer on his agenda, unless it's killing her softly with passion.

i'm not going to give a detailed recap of book 2 and 3. but in each Max and Johannes each find their mate in their own way. it doesn't go easy for either of them as the bigger picture story continues in both books. the books only get better as the story unfolds and more secrets are told and things are changed.

once more ann has given us a world to escape in, not everything is ideal but they are trying! the twists and turns in this one are just superb and i couldn't wait to read the other two stories in this book after finishing the first. i wish i could say you can read each as a stand alone but in this case they're a trilogy and a must to have and read all three. it's all more like one big story with three "sub stories"

simply loved it!

Review: Desert Rose

Desert Rose by Anna Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

think this is by far my most favorite story in the series!!
in the aftermath of the previous book, Ales, a javelina shifter, is offered to stay on the ranch to heal up. the first few weeks he doesn't even recollect apart the voice of an angel telling him stories. then he spend a few weeks awake in bed and now he was up and round and about. he didn't want to overstay his welcome so he did his best to make himself useful at the blacksmith. learning a new skill was hard but he enjoyed the manual labor.
beth is happy to see alex is getting better, what doesn't make her happy is the interest her wolf has in him, wanting him, needing him. she read to him days on end, convinced that even unconscious he would be able to hear people. attracted to him, she just doesn't have the guts to make a move. beside shifters didn't mix well. since ty took over as alpha it was already rare to see her pack allowing human mates. this isn't a rarity but the old alpha, ty's father, had a different view on mating. you keep to your kind and mate for power. that already went out the window. but a wolf and javelina? no, that won't be happening.
beth forgot the meddling elder people!
put together by luck - riiight! - alex realizes beth is his angel. his animal is grunting, he likes her. likes her enough to want her forever. but alex isn't sure what to do, he does know he wants her too but he's not sure about the pack and how much longer he'd be welcome. he's not used to staying in one place at the same time but if he's honest, he likes it here and he likes beth too. things seem to start moving in the right direction when they make that first crucial connection.

what a story this was! a few older familiar faces, a few newer, another more bitchier. but it wouldn't be a heartfelt story if at some point there would be a huge twist in the plot and really major dramatic events! once i started reading time just flew by. i was glad that the kids were in school and husband at work. lunch was a thing of the past, i just had to finish the book!

Review: BROKEN ROAD

BROKEN ROAD by London Casey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

another homerun for the team! the live of a biker isn't easy. when you live outside of the law, have your own rules to live by. their world is dark, hard, ruthless and deadly, very deadly.
the members of BDD aren't panicking but what they don't like is another crew in their territory creating mayhem. to find out what is going on jake volunteers to go undercover. it's a hard choice for him to make because it means laying down his cut, something he wears with pride. but they have to find out what is going and put a stop to it.
word is out the other MC is looking for a fighter to join their ranks, and that is just jack's specialty! he isn't scared of dying so he always goes all in.
when he gets through the initiating from the rusted devil mc he knows two things. one : the club is as good as dead if they don't pull their shït together and two, the beauty behind the bar might just be the thing he needs to take care of his wounds.
the attraction he feels for her is beyond anything he felt before and he's not resisting it either because she seems more the willing enough to go along for a quick hard ride on his rod.
once in, he has to stay low key and has to find out what is happening. who is involved, who isn't. there are quite a few moments that he though his cover would be blown, he would be in serious trouble if that happened. will he succeed to do what his mc asked him to do or will everything fall apart? what about the girl? the touches parts of him no woman ever has. can he leave her behind? how will she react once she learns the truth?

this one drama filled, action packed, steamy story that just goes on to get better and better as you keep on reading! i had a hard time putting down the book as there were certain people saying they were getting hungry (how hard is it to make a sandwich jeesh, right?) i just had to finish this and know how jack turned out! loved it, loved, loved!

octavia unwillingly is in charge of trying to rebuild a smaller part of new your after the mulgor attack. anything and everything was wiped clean, it was a surprise central park survived, more or less. when word gets out that the draconians are sending their best architect to help rebuild earth, starting with new york, she has her doubts. when she sees the plans it's like the mulgor attack was nothing compared with how she felt how that architect dude wanted to put them together and worse, even wanted to destroy central park, the only thing they had left!
several times she tries to persuade the secretary at the embassy to let her talk to him. telling her she had zero chances of that happening. her only remote shot would be entering the mating lottery and hoping her draconian match was found and that he traveled in the same circles as the architect.
fate sometime is funny, guess who her draconian mate turns out to be? yeah, you guessed right. that one!
let the games begin is all i say! this was one of the toughest mating battles in the series but what a battle it was!

a little bit sad that the series is ending but i'm still hoping a little bit that maybe somehow sometime we may get an extra on, maybe situated a decade later, with all their kids getting into their pre-teens. wouldn't that be fun?

Review: Weird Nights

Weird Nights by Rebecca Royce
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

we join with mindy and jonah some weeks after the events in book one. mindy went with jonah, wanting to get away from the place were a real demon, pretending to be a clown, gutten and killed her boyfriend in front of her. a boyfriend she was going to break up with that same night.
jonah just waltzed into her life and made it bearable but deep down she wants more. more of jonah, more knowledge of the "other" world, more physical power. she doesn't want to feel weak anymore. training with jonah at mr foy's was a big step but the distance that grew between them was eating her up. just as much as jonah could aggravate her with popping up wherever she was, even when she tried to be careful. he mostly knew what to say to make her feel good but he just as knew what to say to rile her up.
when things between them come to a boil she mistakes his reluctance as rejection but she couldn't be further from the truth even if it bit her in the nose.
but things for this twosome aren't easy as past events have a sneaky way of catching up with out when you least expect them too!

i was rooting for them for the get go. as you read a long so much makes sense when you learn their history and how things came to be. i really liked the first book but i liked this one even just a tiny little itsy bitsy more.
you cannot not have this book if you adored the first one.

Review: Underground Heat, A Paranormal Romance Boxed Set

Underground Heat, A Paranormal Romance Boxed Set by Ann Gimpel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

short recap of book one :
roman's gold:
in this shifter world shifters are the new black. they're hunted and killed, shunned and discriminated. if you're a half blood shifter you still went to jail, only when you have 25% you have a shot at a life. devon is one of them. he saw no other option as to join the police force and enter a special program. only this special program was that: special. all of them were injected with a special formula that would heighten their shifter senses. only devon is finding out that hard way a lot more is happening when he's ordered to follow Kate and take her out. but that is beside the wolf that has awoken in him and quickly his hunt has another objective because killing is no longer on his agenda, unless it's killing her softly with passion.

once more ann has given us a world to escape in, not everything is ideal but they are trying! the twists and turns in this one are just superb and i can't wait to read the other two stories in this book. will update review as i go along.

Review: War-Torn: Epic Steampunk Fantasy for Adults

War-Torn: Epic Steampunk Fantasy for Adults by J.E. Keep
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

i'm a person who gives 4/5 easily so giving this one "only" a three is a bit harder. the story on it's own is well build, well written and all the parts were and are there. but i didn't get sucked into the story from the get go, i don't mind switching POV's but in this one it just couldn't captivate me as it should. steampunk stories are a genre on they own and i like them just as much as any other genre. those parts are nicely woven into it all.

Review: One Love: A Multicultural Romance Boxed Set

One Love: A Multicultural Romance Boxed Set by Roxie Rivera
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

a nice collection of books from ace writers. i read one before so i had one less to read in this set. they're all well worth your time and they all wrapped things up nicely. the only odd one out is the obsession. all the others could be read as stand alone stories with a beginning, middle and ending. this one book mostly read as sex scene after sex scene and only after checking it out i saw (just like one of the other reviewers) that is was part of a serial. in a way it really didn't fit the box which is a bit of a shame, i think i would have done better in a box set with similar type of story telling (as in introduction to serials)

if you have read all the separate series you will enjoy this one when we visit them again over the holiday season and see how they are doing.
a simple must have book if you adored the shifters. can't wait to read more about them all again (wishful hoping on my part!)
in one story a lot of secrets are told and shared, in another story evil wendigo's enter the scene to try and kill santa ...
it was a joy to read very single short story in this bundle and loved finding out how they were doing.

Review: Protection: A Bad Boy Stepbrother Romance

Protection: A Bad Boy Stepbrother Romance by Vivian Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

you're THE star of the moment and your live is basically lived for you, staff to do everything for you, even thinking. after meet and greet number 2564 she's en route to her limo/SUV when a jealous fan manages to grab her and cut some of her hair off. this is the event that starts everything. her tour is in jeopardy and the only way the record label is willing to let it go ahead is when she takes on a security detail.
her last meeting with her mother had a big surprise for her: she was getting married. and her soon to be stepbrother was present too. it came as a big surprise for both of them. not able to cope with anymore BS from her mother she storms out of the restaurant thinking that is the end of it.
the bigger her surprise was when she finds out who is the new head of her personal group of bodyguards, you guessed right, her soon to be stepbrother.
they start their professional relationship strained at best because deep down what either thinks they hate about the other is a force neither of them thought would catch them. still it takes weeks before they stop fighting the feelings and give in. but it all has to stay a secret, specially with their parents' wedding around the corner, a stalker behind a door, a tour date in another city almost every day.
it's emotional to read it and gives you a glimpse of the other side, it isn't always greener as they say. sure money can get you a lot but does it make you really happy? how does a tough former SEAL manage to stay on top of it all? you see both of them change throughout the story, how they open up to each other but also how they battle their own demons.
a captivating story with an ending so no huge cliffhangers!! loved the downtime they spend together, their more steamy times were just that = steamy! it's a good book that lets you dream away for a while before you have to come back to the real world.

Review: Bare Knuckle Black Bear: BBW Paranormal Romance Bear Shifters MMA

Bare Knuckle Black Bear: BBW Paranormal Romance Bear Shifters MMA by Kim Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

now her father is dead, she returns to town. her brother is having none of it and does everything he can to drive her out of town but she's smarter then that. she knows there is a will and she's not stopping until she finds it. she's dead set on saving the lumber jack company their family started all those years ago.
the first moment she entered the bare knuckle bar, jake's bear bonded with skyler, no if's or but's about it. it had happened before he even could stop his bear. when a few chance encounters make them spend more time together it doesn't take long before sparks are flying.
now it wouldn't be a bare knuckle story if there weren't some huge conflicts that needed settling but if everything stays fair and square that is a whole other matter!
will skyler and jake make it work or is her brother the smart one (for a change , riiight?)

another great addition to this series and a must have if you loved the two previous books. this book brings a big change to the town and i'm curious how that change will impact the rest of them hihihi a nice addition to your library!

Review: Uncaging Wolves

Uncaging Wolves by Roxie Noir
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

another triad happy! scarlett has been in prison for four long years. a troubled teen she knew nothing better then to go along with her father, but when the big plans fell apart and she got sent to jail as a result she started thinking about everything. her first few months weren't easy and she rebelled where she could. later on she realized the error in it all and eventually flipped sides and told them everything. this meant a shorter sentence for her and after four years she was up for parole on good behavior.
her brother stepped in so she'd have a place to stay and the local bakery offered her a job. she was anxious but relieved once she set foot in her brothers house, even if it was filled with a triad and her nephew and niece. her first night back into civilization is hard, she can't sleep so she decides to go out, wanting a taste of normalcy.
at the bar she spots Chase on stage and not much later Gavin makes his way over to her setting off all her inner alarms, bells and whistles. what almost resulted in a fight turns into a lot more once chase joins them and it's clear that chase and gavin are together. after some very heated moments, summer can't handle the intense feelings and flees the scene under the guise of freshening up.
the men are oblivious to her disappearance but a day later so much is revealed, so many feelings hurt and a lot of time has to pass before all of their wolves get a say in the matter!

this was a rather emotional one to read, so many prejudices about ex prisoners arise, some more valid then others. but sometimes a past is just that: a past. people can change! but that is up to gavin and chase to find out.

another awesome installment in this series, one you can't miss!

Review: Devil

Devil by Scarlet North
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

fast paced story, well written. i'm glad to see it's no tagged as a bad boy romance because the version that i saw before spoke of a stepbrother romance and i kinda failed to see that connection in this book.
a young powerful racing CEO is used to taking what he wants when he sees it. when he sees Sierra, it doesn't take him long to swoop her of her feet. when he starts to have genuine feelings he's also very fast to let her go again.

the jo-jo effect of his feelings doesn't go unnoticed by her and when he lets her go it hurts and she has a hard time accepting it.

will he come to his senses of will he stay the arrogant CEO they all know him to be?

fast paced, hot and steamy read that lets you dream away for a while.

can't give it anything else but 5 stars. i was lucky to have read quite a few of these before as ARC's and to see them now bundled together... this is one hell of a collection to have by many a great authors in this genre!
bears wolves, drama, love conflict, they have it all! it's just too hard to review each single one because i can't just write something nice in just one or two sentences, i'd be constructing a short story myself by giving praise to all of the books in here.

Review: A Mate's Healing Touch

A Mate's Healing Touch by Merryn Dexter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

hannah harbors a secret she doesn't share with many. sadly one of those many is the on for knocking her up when she was barely 17, then leaving her and her baby girl. over time she managed to make a nice future for herself but yet she's not fully happy there. she loves working at the diner but the town looks at her like she's the wrong do'er.
when caleb is talking to one of the owners about some upgrades in the kitchen, his wolf is instantly on high alert when hannah starts her shift. it's hard for him to control his wolf and in an unguarded moment he manages to corner hannah. the attraction is very mutual but it also leads to a showing of secrets way sooner then either would have been ready to talk about them.
it's very quickly that there is already a bit of drama in this story, i like that in this particular story the female, hannah has her own secret that is equal to calebs. it will take some effort to work through it all but when a dire situation arises hard choices have to be made.

how will they resolve the situation? will they be able to stay together? so many questions, so many possible outcomes!

loved it, once more you get to know the old and the new from the black hill wolves and see how things change. love how they all go together so well these stories.

what do you do when your bear has bonded to your best friends baby sister? hope for the best.
that's what hunter has to do, specially when that best friend says his sister is off limits.
sadly the woman in question comes with some heavy baggage in the form of a powerful lion shifter who think he can order her around even after she ended things between them.
in laughling city there is only one way to settle issues and that's in the cage at the Bar Knuckle. if everything stays fair and square? who knows, pick up this book and find out!
i love this group of friends and how they interact with one another, a joy to read even with the bad times they go through to find their HEA;
