Review: Bloodlines

Bloodlines by Tabatha Kiss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

so much is happening that for once i won't tell the start of it. but one event leads to a war between families and continents. i was happy to learn how a certain character we know from previous books has made his escape! (even telling this is not even telling!)
you get sucked in from the moment the book starts 12 years ago and then moves forwards to the now.
the pain, the heartache, the brutality, the killings... it's like the other three books were a build up to this one even if timewise you could start with this one and then read the others.

a must have if you loved the Snake Eyes books!!

Review: Detective Bear (Bear Shifter Paranormal Romance)

Detective Bear (Bear Shifter Paranormal Romance) by Scarlett Grove
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

don't know what it is, but i always like scarlett grove's books. this one ain't no different.
Gauge has been investigating the crystal problem for months and he's finally making progress, so much so that he's able to infiltrate them. just as he's about to walk out he gets a message on his phone, he's been matched on mate.com. he knows he can't meet up right now but he also doesn't want to not respond. looking at the pictures of his possible mate has his heart beating double.
lola lockheart has been forced by her stepbrother to cut crystal. she's not to be spoken to, she can't leave and his hands are way too loosely groping her at every chance he gets. her one escape and connection with the outside world is a cellphone she keeps hidden. out of curiosity she reads up on mate.com and even signs up. if he would know about this all she wouldn't last a day! her nightmare comes true when her phone beeps just as her stepbrother is in her tent. she'd been matched.
everything starts going wrong. there is a new guard, one who can't stay away, one who's she's drawn too like a moth to a flame. when the guards tells her who he really is and he's getting her out of there she insists on getting a token from her late mother.

and then the story really gets interesting and the pace picks up as we move to the conclusion of this story.

another wonderful addition to the Bear Patrol series. knowing a few more are coming makes me one happy reader! on pins and needles untill the nest one.

Review: Gambling on Her Bear

Gambling on Her Bear by Anna Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

karen is a dragon shifter who's convinced she can't fly, is rather impulsive and holds a little bit of magic.
when she has er eyes set on a blood diamond she wants to "take back", her impulsive nature not only lands her in the hands of vampire but also in the path of bear shifter Tanner Lloyd. he's infiltrated the vampire coven for his own reasons. as head of security, he gets to handle to new bundle of trouble karen, the same woman he had the best night of his life with.
he wants to help karen (and he does) but he also can't forget about his own agenda. he meets up with her again and puts all his cards on the table, hoping to work something out.
in the middle of all of this both are fighting (and losing) the attraction toward each other.

a thriller ride from start to finish. karen and her dragon are simply a hott, their conversations are too funny at times. Tanner and his bear: just the same. it really was a joy to read about them, even better that it was set in the same world were we got to know some of the characters in the first place!
a must have if you enjoyed the CIV series by multiple authors.

Review: Her Wolf

Her Wolf by Rebecca Royce
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ashlee has one male on her mind, but he's hairy, silent, broody and solitary. and he walks on four paws ....
she's drawn to the lone wolf each time she passes his enclosure. he's never interacting with the rest of the pack. one day when she's thinking about the wolf she breaks her one rule and actually talks to him. what she didn't expect was for him to talk back to her in her mind!
tristan doesn't know what comes over him when the one female talks to him and seems to understand him. captured and trapped for months now, tristan can't shift back without giving away he's a shifter. but now that ashlee can hear him, he knows he has to get out, and fast.

what follow is a revealing conversation and a lot of convincing. when ashlee comes to free him during the night, he hoped he would have a shot at going home without much trouble. but they didn't even get of the parking lot as they're attacked. his brother rushes in to safe achlee but tristan is growly. for one he's holding his brother responsible for him being captured, convinced he had something to do with it. secondly he got his paws on ashlee!

with this whirlwind start we get thrown into the deep end, or rather ashlee is. a whole new world opens up to her, family secrets are shared and told. pragmatic as she is, she rolls with the flow. she doesn't just accept things but she doesn't whine about them either. she just wants to understand. a whole heap of troubles is now on her plate and ashlee is now the only one who can sort out these troubles, with the help of her newfound pack.

captivating read, it had a nice pace to it. never did i feel like a scene was being dragged out. it had a nice build up, loved the characters.
well done rebecca royce

Review: Ensnared: A Vampire Blood Courtesans Romance

Ensnared: A Vampire Blood Courtesans Romance by Rebecca Rivard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

i enjoyed all the courtesan books, all were awesome reads. ensnared fits right in that series.
when one of the eldest vampires takes an interest in her , she doesn't really know what to do with that fact. her life is already a mess, when things get worse, she feels she has no other choice but to take up his offer: be his blood courtesan for 1 month.
the life she enters is like nothing she's seen before. remy is different from what is told about vampires, he's not even cold!
they settle in fine the first few days, being with him doesn't seem so bad. he's honest and he doesn't compel her to obey him. but then he's called back to France, during those days she starts doubting herself. being cooped up for so long she wants to go outside.
and that was her biggest mistake.
things go into overdrive with remy fastly returning to find and rescue her!

it really was a joy to read! remy is just .... he may be one of the oldest vampires around but he managed to keep most of his humanity but also have the ruthlessness that comes with being a vampire. he lifts the story to another level! (wouldn't mind reading more about him)

Review: SPARKED: A Bad Boy Rockstar Romance

SPARKED: A Bad Boy Rockstar Romance by Stephanie Brother
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

from the moment they met there were sparks. when she finds out who he really is, she can't help but think about what is said about him. being the smart one she decides it's not her cup of tea even when she was attracted to him.
later that week she's about to meet her chemistry tutor and well her surprise is huge when the same young man steps in. his charm is still there, together with sincere interest in her and also to her surprise his knowledge. isn't there something he isn't good at? he sings, he looks hot, he's smart, he's a tutor.
he can't get her out of his mind, but at the same time he's convinced he can't give her what she needs. she's a relationship girl and that's something he doesn't do.

with sparks all over the place is was wrenching to read how he hurt her thinking he was doing the right thing, in turn hurting them both.

getting his mind in order to see what is right in front of him takes further away before he realizes how much he really cares.

a wonderful read of two unlikely people getting together and overcoming their own feelings. stephanie brother delivered another masterpiece

Review: Seer: Reckless Desires

Seer: Reckless Desires by Holley Trent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

andre always followed the visions he's given, he knows better then to ignore them. his last one takes him to the next state over, waiting for a young woman during her shift, who's leaving her new born babe alone while she runs as wolf during the full moon.
his vision showed where they were and it told him in no uncertain terms he had to bring them with him to Norseton.
tired from preventing his own shift, he has a lot to talk about and convince the woman to come with him. something about her calls to his wolf but getting her away and to a safe place is priority!
they arrive just in time for the full moon run, when they wake up together the morning after there is a bit of mystery for them. apparently their wolves mated ...
how are they going to explain that? technically she wasn't a single wolf ....

loved how andre handled everything, even how he messed up with giving her the time and space to settle in. even though he's a wolf and he can be bad ass, he's one of those that looks for the best outcome with least violence without shying away from it either.
enjoyed this book a lot! can't wait for the next one to arrive in norseton.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

if you like reading about bad boys with a hear then this is a bundle you can't pass by. if one man isn't enough then ten will maybe do the trick of proving that bad boys can be good too in their own way.
with stories from Roxy, Vesper, Terry and a few more, there isn't much that can't go wrong. well there is, within the stories but that is what you would expect with all these bad boys.

Review: Bare Knuckle Bear: Bear Shifter Romance

Bare Knuckle Bear: Bear Shifter Romance by Ariana Hawkes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

braxton is the one bear that isn't happy their pack has let in humans. after one of the cage fights there had been some uproar about t-shirts with less then positive messages towards the broken hill bears. just one human woman dares to talk to him but no matter what, he's not having it. whether what she says is helpful or not, she's human and that's all there is to it.
their paths cross again when the woman, neve, proves to be a bit more stubborn for his liking and he's not afraid to tell her.
but the troubles at the cage fights only get worse and braxton is told he's the one to sort it all out. he realizes he has no real other option as to reach out to the humans he so despices but he can only think of one he can remotely trust, neve.
after tracking her down, he knows he owes her an apology and after doing his best to convince her, he gets her on board trying to figure out what is going on and what they can do against it from a human, legal point of view.
what they find isn't something neither were expecting; not concerning the troubles at the cage fights, nor with each other.

this second book delves deeper into the workings and going ons of the broken hill bear's pack. danger is lurking just around the corner and once you think you're safe you're proven otherwise. hard choices need to be made before this story can head to it's HEA.
wonderful read!

Review: Fire Dragon's Baby (Dragon Shifter Scifi Alien Romance)

Fire Dragon's Baby (Dragon Shifter Scifi Alien Romance) by Scarlett Grove
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

yay more draconians! scarlett is giving us more dragons! there aren't as in tune with humans because they're quite far away from our galaxy but after a few decades of peace and things settling down, the mating pool now opens up for them too. they just have to find a way how to deal with the mating pul once they're paired up with an earth female.
after some debate a way is found and the first of the elemental dragons gets news his mate has been found AND that she's willing to travel the distance and even agrees to get fertilized.
it's strange for celeste. she's told it will take up to a year to travel to the other side of the galaxy to meet the draconian she's paired with. it's even stranger she's asked to massage herself with artificial semen so her DNA can adapt to her matched draconian in order to try IVF. the elemental draconians hope in doing things this way, having their mate arrive already with a new born babe, it's easier to hold on to their position and also to help deal with the mating fever.
it's not an easy thing and it's a first for both celeste and salvatt, the fire prince.

join us in this new journey of multiple draconians who'll be getting paired up with feisty young ladies.
loved this and devoured it in one sitting! next please! (with a cherry on top!)
