First of all, thanks for having me! I'm here to talk about my favorite genre: paranormal romance. This includes (at least for me) everything from aliens to shifters to vamps to fae. It's a crazy world(s) out there to explore and there is always room for more. What I love best about paranormal is that you can mostly make your own rules. As long as the backstory is good and the mythology isn't too overly complicated or obscure, you're good to go.
Now, I love to read a variety of things so while paranormal romance is my go-to, I also love contemporary romance. Lately, there has been a well spring of step romance and I've been happy to read and read and read. I know that this isn't everyone's cup of tea and the idea of "relatives" (although they aren't legally related) freaks people out. What I love best about these stories is that the MCs find love in unconventional places. I think that love shouldn't be limited to what others out there think is right/wrong. If it feels right to you and no one else is getting hurt, follow your heart. It is your life to live, not theirs.
With that, I can be found writing reviews of many books in the genres I just talked about on my blog, Discussions With Demons.

ARC: 3013: Salvation (3013 Series 5) by Laurie Roma
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
5 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
Sneaky, sneaky males. I love that Sky was able to find a way to be a bridge for their mating.
Recommendation: I am hoping to see something with Reva and the Krystos in the next books. I can't wait for the next one!

ARC Review: Nyght's Eve (Breakers' Bad Boys 2) by Laurie Roma
I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
5 out of 5 Stars
Breakers is a town to fall in love with and in. The people are the best of small towns. People who circle the wagons around those who have been hurt and need support. Nyght's Eve was a story of healing and love. Almost all the major players needed support and healing - even the dogs.
Daryk Nyght, Dare to his friends, is a trauma surgeon forced to act against his beliefs and it has him burnt out. Taking some time to heal, he visits his old friend Hammer (Hammer's Fall) in Breakers. Here he meets Evie Beaumont, cousin to his friends and rescuer of dogs. Evie has some dark spots in her past that she is still haunted by. Together Dare and Evie, heal each other and bring safety to some of the more vulnerable elements of the town.
After reading Nyght's Eve, I can't wait for the next book. I'm hoping to hear more about whether or not Dante got the girl. There are so many lovable characters in Breakers, and I can't wait to find out their stories and revisit old friends.
Recommendation: Grab a glass of lemonade, put your feet up on the porch swing and plan to relax for an hour or two, Nyght's Eve is a wonderful way to spend a little "me" time with a book that is impossible to put down.

3013: Mated (3013 Series 1) by Laurie Roma
Men...
5 out of 5 Stars
What do I like?
I like that Alexis is a strong female. Men (even dragonmen) have a spectacular ability to piss off women and their communication skills suck when it comes to the women in their life.
Recommendation:
It is a good introduction to a new series and I can't wait to read more about the secondary characters.

Release Day Review: Hammer's Fall (Breakers' Bad Boys 1) by Laurie Roma
I was given a copy of this book.
5 out of 5 Stars
The Fairy and the Fighter
What did I like?
I like the strong female presence, ruling the world from behind the scenes. I liked the rehabilitation theme in the story ( dog rehab, soldier rehab, PTSD treatment for the trauma surgeon, burn-out from the Hollywood producer, abused boys). I liked the small town setting.
Would I recommend this to a friend?
It was a great intro to a new series. I'm looking forward to more books in this series.

Deadly Target (IAD Agency 3) by Laurie Roma
Fight Club: It's Like it Never Happened
5 out of 5 Stars
I received this a copy of this book from an blog hop contest.
What did you like:
My heart cried for the heroine. It takes such a toll on her, doing what's right. I didn't want to like the hero, he was a douchebag at first. However, he redeemed himself and showed love and worthiness. For all the serious business in the story, it has a great deal of hilarious humor. Two wounded souls come together to both save the world and each other.
Would you recommend to a friend: Absolutely.

One Shot (IAD Agency 2) by Laurie Roma
His Fierce Warrior
5 out of 5 Stars
I received this a copy of this book from an blog hop contest.
What did you like:
It takes a strong man to be a match to a strong woman, it takes an even stronger man to admit when his woman is stronger than him. Save the world or taking vengeance on her torturer? Why can't she have both. The heroine is a strong warrior with a wounded heart. While the hero is an alpha male, he's putty to his mate. Foreshadowing the next books, which I can't wait to read, while not taking away from the main storyline. Still the same characters we've grown to love and even some new ones.
Would you recommend to a friend: Absolutely.

Under Pressure (IAD Agency 1) by Laurie Roma
"You LoJacked Me?"
5 out of 5 Stars
I received this a copy of this book from an blog hop contest.
What did you like:
The heroine was the heart of the team. She is the soft spot of the commander (alpha hero). This was a great beginning to a series, enough secondary characters that I can't wait to see more of. The info about the characters was interspersed nicely and well paced within the story. There was a nice bit of foreshadowing for later books and the relationships revealed between characters was that of a solid family group.
Would you recommend to a friend: Definitely
