Pack Drama
4 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
It was a interesting courtship between the h/h, especially since they had a history together.
What did I not like?
It was mostly a sad book. She couldn't tell anyone in her family in order to get support from them. Her friend's attempt to help got her and her brother's best friend stuck in the middle of a pack issue. Her life spirals out of control and there is no resolution or restitution.
Would I recommend this to a friend?
It was an interesting read from a new author. I'm hoping for more to help resolve some of the things left unsolved in this book.

Crazy Wolf Still At Large!
5 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
It is good that they main group is dealing with the changes that are coming this way, while keeping everyone as safe as possible.The heroine is smart and I'm glad her parents are finally getting an explanation, even if they can't act on it.
What did I not like?
Freaking crazy wolf chick is still at large and the damned double dealing council; I just want to beat the council with a really large stick.
Would I recommend this to a friend?
This series is better read in order. I'm looking forward to more books in this series. It is a good read and while each book focuses on a different couple the overall story line is still in progress.

Three Hearts Beat as One (Hell's Delight 1) by Karen Mercury
I won this book in a giveaway.
Immaturity has no age limit...
5 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
I like their idea that they are adding to the love. I'm glad the heroine ended up with guys who appreciated her. I like the town's name.
What did I not like?
Jealousy is an ugly thing and makes people do stupid things. The ex was an asshat and the mayor was freaking pervy. Creep factor by 10! *shudders*
Would I recommend this to a friend?
This was a great intro to a new series. It was a fun read with lots of humor.

Gateway to HeVan (The Nephilim Series 4) by Lucy Kelly
I won this book in a giveaway.
Segue into Spin-off
5 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
I like how the author flipped the "bad girl" and everyone got their HEA/HFN. Definitely looking forward to how this affects the story line. Gilda has a way of putting things that is just hilarious. I can't wait for Cassandra's story - she's a hoot!
What did I not like?
There was a character that made me just want bring him back from the dead and kill him again, only this time slowly. The former duke was an all around bad character and the destruction he caused had such long reaching effects, made me want to cry.
Would I recommend this to a friend?
I recently discovered this series from a release party. I won a book and went out to purchase the rest. I read them in order and I was so happy when I finished. I really like the way this series has developed. This is not a stand alone!

To Love and Obey (The Doms of Club Mystique 1) by Mardi Maxwell
I was given this book.
Double Standards Much?!?
4 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
The introductions to the many characters was handled very smoothly. This was a very dramatic book. Lots of emotional upheaval with a nice HEA ending.
What did I not like?
Double standards tend to make me really angry, and this book was full of it. The hero's angst was really brought on himself with his sexist, chauvinistic attitude and his inability to keep it in his pants; dipping the wick in the crazy pool is just begging to bring the drama. On the flip side of the coin, the heroine is really naive and tends to fool herself with her head in the sand approach.
Would I recommend this to a friend?
This is an interesting start to a series. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
*Spoiler Alert!* If cheating is a hot button, this book does have some cheating by the hero while in a relationship.

ARC Review: Red Satin Lips (The Surrender Series 1) by Trinity Blacio
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
5 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
There were a number of twists and turns to keep me guessing. There was a good lead-in for the next book.
What did I not like?
I was sad for Baal and his children who didn't inherit his gene. That's a rough relationship. I was sad that some many had to die, although it was necessary for the next book's couple.
Would I recommend this to a friend?
I'm definitely looking forward to more in this series.

3013: Renegade (3013 Series 2) by Susan Hayes
I won this book in a giveaway.
5 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
I like their common goal, even if their paths were different. I love her foster father's attitude. I like the similarity of their skill set/nickname: Wraith (aka Ghost Jr.) and Ghost. I like the idea of a female Robin Hood. Family is who you make it, it's more than just biology; it's those that love you.
What did I not like?
I didn't like his attitude towards the foster father; if she had been adopted by another Alliance couple, she would have be another class conscious scroll that he didn't want. I don't like the inequalities that are inherent to this system, even though I like that each book takes on a new prejudice.
Would I recommend this to a friend?
I'm looking forward to more stories; hoping for Sonja's and possibly even Annie's dads' story.

Angel of Death (The Chosen Chronicles 1) by Karen Dales
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
Two Centuries Later
4 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
The plot thickens with the exposure of more than just Chosen. The suspense in this series is very enthralling. There is some romance in the book and there are a lot of different forms of love in this series.
What did I not like?
It is sad that every time he find love and happiness it is taken from him. It is sad that the more powerful he becomes, the more people (even those who love him) use him as a weapon. I'm not one for sad stories, his life experiences just break my heart and this next battle against his love may just destroy him.
Would I recommend this book?
If you like suspense written in gothic, saga style, this is a good series to read.

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.

Changling (The Chosen Chronicles Prelude) by Karen Dales
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
A Sad Beginning
5 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
Despite its depressing and distressing content, this story kept my attention. It was well written and a good introduction of characters.
What did I not like?
It ended with a lot of questions. What happened between Gwyn and Tarian after? Did Gwyn's sister find her HEA? Did Huw get what he deserved?
Would I recommend this book to a friend?
I was definitely intrigued by the prequel. I have high hopes for this series and hope my questions are answered in the next book.

Christmas at the Missouri State Pen by Deanna Roy
I was given this book. I have not read Stella & Dane.
Home for Christmas
5 out of 5 Stars
It is nice that Stella waits for him to get out; the reason he is incarcerated is sad though. I hope that Dane doesn't get in trouble for helping Buddy. Home is where the heart is. Such a nice holiday message. Glad that they let Buddy back in, since that is where he wanted to be. I really liked the notation at the end about it being based on a true story.

ARC Review: Fated Mates: The Alpha Shifter Boxed Set by Adriana Hunter, Liliana Rhodes, Lynn Red, A.T. Mitchell, Michelle Fox, Eve Langlais, Skye Eagleday, Tabitha Conall, Alexis Dare, Molly Prince
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I chose 3 books from this set to review.
Charming the Alpha by Liliana Rhodes:
Love is complicated. Throw in some spirits, a curse and a Juliet/Romeo style romance and you have a wild read. The relationships were fluid and changing. There were a number of twists along the way with multiple HEA at the end.
Protecting the Pack by Tabitha Conall:
A wolf walks into the bar...hehehe. There is a lot of confusion going on and it was the perfect time to strike. Protecting the Pack is the story of a broken hero, tired from the army; the alpha, who's pack is being attacked from within; and a battered heroine, who is being used as a pawn. Insidious plan foiled by fated mates.
The Alpha Claims A Mate by Georgette St. Clair:

The Alpha Claims A Mate by Georgette St. Clair:
Snubbing the alpha is not a good idea. But that is what our curvy heroine does while she's having girls night out. An investigation forces them to work together, helping them to patch up first impressions. I didn't like the twist at the end. It made me angry and sad. I was glad when they ripped him apart.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I chose 3 books from this set to review.
Blinded by Magic, A Witch Romance by Ava Catori:
I liked that there were all variations of the types of relationships and showed both good and bad about all of them. I was surprised at the end with the ending, I bet her parents will be thrilled. Interesting questions came to mind.
A Demon and His Witch by Eve Langlais:
This is a start of a great series. I love the snarkiness of the MC and can't wait to see what Lucifer has planned next. The heroine was healed (500 years is a long time to be broken). The hero was just what she needed, smart aleck one liners and sexual zings.
Vampire Lords of Blacknall: Trinity
This was an intriguing start to a new series. There was a nice set up for all the brothers' stories too. I'm looking forward to reading their stories. Interesting twist at the end.

Make Mine A Cowboy (Cowboy Dreamin' 1) by Sandy Sullivan
I won this book in a giveaway.
Experience Makes All The Difference
5 out of 5 Stars
What did you like?
I loved the hero's mother's matchmaking. I love stories with larger, feisty heroines. It was really the details that made this story for me. The hero's manners were impeccable but he didn't loose the stubborn pigheadedness and lack of romantic words that one expects to find in a cowboy. The fans coming to see her at the ranch was a nice touch.
What did you not like?
The parts that I didn't like had nothing to do with the authors writing and everything to do with disliking the characters' actions. Both Josh, Jason and Joel needed to be smacked a few times for the idiocy they pulled on the heroine. Josh totally got the smack down he deserved. Jason and Joel both got off easy with being told off by the heroine. I would have said they both deserved a kick in the junk.
Would you recommend this book?
Absolutely, I can't wait to read about the other brothers and watch as they get their comeuppance when they fall in love. I love HEA and this definitely delivered.

Naughty and Nice (Three's Company) by Jayne Rylon
I won this book in a giveaway.
5 out of 5 Stars
Great Holiday Read
I love the heroine's quirks like getting lost in the music while driving. I also love her attitude and ability to balance both twins, Smart and adventurous yet still a bit geeky. The suspense was thrilling and the invention was interesting. I nearly cried when she woke up thinking Justin had left, though. A great read.

Shopping Trip
*Somewhere in the Middle East*
Looking at the mirror, she smiled, no one would recognize her. With her burqa covering her from horns to feet, she could pass as a local human, no problem. Now to the market. Turning to her bodyguards, she checked that their horns were tucked into their turbans. Satisfied that they wouldn't stand out, she headed towards her litter.
Listening to the noise of the souq soothed her. Signalling a halt, she was helped to stand. Bangles, bracelets necklaces and perhaps a sweetmeat or two were on her to buy list. Taking a step forward, her guards fell into place flanking her sides and back. Moving from stall to stall, she haggled and bargained throughout the afternoon. Looking at her purchases on the way back, she sighed. These would be perfect.

Pity Party
Mia:
Looking around, I sighed feeling out of place and overwhelmed. This human realm was so...NOLA so different from Rothkalina. What am I doing here? This despondency was such a pain.
*sigh*
The emptiness was getting hard to bear. Feeling on the outside was nothing new, but looking around at all the happy couples was just depressing. She thought of calling Zoe, but having to explain that she was feeling sorry for herself for not having a mate, was not a conversation she wanted to contemplate. No need to dredge up old hurts. She was happy for her brothers, really she was. After so long though, hope was getting a little thin on the ground. With everyone finding a mate this Ascension, was it too much to wish hers was here too? What if I never find him? *shaking off that thought* It must be seeing Holly pregnant. Damn this hormonal bs.
*cracks neck*
Time to shake off this pity party crap. Dialing up Sabine on her phone, "You and Melanthe feel up for some fun tonight? I feel the need to go release some steam."
Sabine:
Sabine moved restlessly through the big house that she and Rydstrom kept in NOLA, her footsteps echoing through the empty rooms. He was so busy lately working to bring Rothkalina into modern times and she had needed a break from all the construction and chaos. She wasn't feeling neglected, far from it, but she had loved being in NOLA when they first got together and had wanted to explore the city more. It also gave her the opportunity to spend time and get to know her sister-in-laws more. She had already seen Holly who was practically glowing from her pregnancy. She wanted to make sure to make time to get something for the twins. She smirked...ok...she had to make time to BUY something for the twins. Rydstrom would kill her if she didn't pay for it.
She had yet to see Mia and Zoe. Rydstrom adored his younger sisters but she had to spend a lot of time with them. She had said as much to him and how she wished they would find mates of their own. He had warned her not to play matchmaker on her trip here. She smiled...she would try to refrain. But she still wanted to see them. Determined to find them, she went in search of her phone. Finding it on the desk in the study she reached for then jumped as it rang. Picking it up, she smiled. "Hello Mia...I am definitely up for some fun tonight!! Come on over and let's see what kind of mischief the Woede women can get into.

Mia:
*smiling as she hung up the phone* Hmm, what to wear, what to wear. Heading to the closet, I started tossing outfits on the bed. Too bright, too short, too formal. Ahhh there it is, perfect! Flipping the scarf over my shoulder, I head out to Sabine's place.Friday, February 28, 2014
Yuletide Passion by Trinity Blacio
Wolves, and Vampires and Cults, oh my!
4 out of 5 Stars
What did you like?
I was glad that her mom was found and they were reunited, if only for a short while. It made sense after we find out what her dad is, why she's mated to the four strongest wolves around. The gifts she gave them for their mating ceremony were beautiful and sentimental. It was the perfect touch that she got pregnant during their mating night.
What did you not like?
There were a few spelling and grammar mistakes, but they didn't detract enough to mess up the story. The cult her father had and what they did were depressing.
Would you recommend this book?
While parts of the book were sad and there were a few mistakes, overall I really enjoyed the book. It was a good read and I would like to hear more about the mother's mating in the future.

What did you like?
I was glad that her mom was found and they were reunited, if only for a short while. It made sense after we find out what her dad is, why she's mated to the four strongest wolves around. The gifts she gave them for their mating ceremony were beautiful and sentimental. It was the perfect touch that she got pregnant during their mating night.
What did you not like?
There were a few spelling and grammar mistakes, but they didn't detract enough to mess up the story. The cult her father had and what they did were depressing.
Would you recommend this book?
While parts of the book were sad and there were a few mistakes, overall I really enjoyed the book. It was a good read and I would like to hear more about the mother's mating in the future.

The Virgin Witch and the Vampire King by Trinity Blacio
Quick Intro
5 out of 5 Stars
This book is a short story that introduces us to most of the main characters and the prophecy which shapes their world. We meet the main couple, Beth and Edward during a traumatic event; where Beth believes her best friend, Nora, has been murdered and she is enraged enough to face off against those responsible. While Edward takes her away from the scene to heal, her father chimes in with a warning. They mate and start the prophecy.
Definitely, expect more of the story to follow. This was a free read, more to get one interested in the world than a full story. The full story can be found in The Virgin Witch and the Vampire King: Book One: Wedding Bells Times Four.

Synopsis:
Does he have his claws in her good? Or is she just yanking his tail? Elena Demo's life has been turned upside down. Her mother passed away, leaving Elena and her two half-sisters to deal with her mother's will and the crazy stipulations it contains. For the three sisters to inherit the substantial amount of money left behind, they have to go work with two aunts they've never met, in the family business they've known nothing about, Amazons Inc. If that isn't bad enough, she runs into the man who once broke her heart, and it's only their first day on the job.
Gage Ivanov is a stupid beast. He let the woman who should be his mate go because she couldn't be told of his Other identity. Now, Elena's back, but she refuses to give in to his demands for her to be his mate. The timing for all of this couldn't be worse, either, because Gage and his circle of friends are trying to subdue a rogue pack of wolf shifters in Germany who threaten to out the Others to the world of humans. Will he be able to juggle the oncoming conflict and win back his mate? Claws, love bites and handcuffs - OH MY!
Gage Ivanov was in no mood to be fucked with by the woman looking blankly back at him from the other side of the desk that separated them. One would think he’d be in a better mood. He’d finally caught up on some desperately needed sleep after being awake forty-eight hours for a mission. This was not the case. If anything, he felt as if he was approximately three point two seconds from flipping his shit, which would involve tearing the door off the Fort Bragg Military Police’s inner sanctum, stalking past the annoying female with a tantalizing scent that was starting to drive him insane and then collecting his Heckler & Koch MK 23 his damn self from the evidence room. Screw the harpy for saying he couldn’t have his issued side arm back.
Taking a deep breath to try to battle his building anger, he blew it out slowly and decided to give the feeble human another chance before he did something drastic, like pin her to a wall and kiss the ever living shit out of her.
Whoa.
Gage rubbed his forehead and wondered where the hell that crazy thought had come from. That idea was flat out ridiculous. He must be loopy still from lack of sleep. He’d probably meant that he’d pin her to the wall and scare the shit out of her, not kiss her. Yeah, that sounded better.
Crystal and Melissa often live half their lives with their heads in the clouds dreaming of alpha military hunks, werewolves and kick ass heroines crazy enough to chase after creatures that they unquestionably should know better than to chase.
Their first YA novel, The Burning Star, was released in May 2012. Big Bad Bite is their second novel, but their first adult paranormal romance. They are now working on their next two novels, Walk On The Striped Side and Secret Maneuvers. With these projects underway, they are looking forward to showing the rest of the world their crazy stories, heroes and heroines that often plague their minds until written, and hope you will join them on their journey!
