I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
5 Stars
I think this has become my favorite Selena Kitt book to date. This story was longer than most and very emotionally charged. I was constantly surprised by the twists and turns the plot took and there were so many home truths that the story really resonates.
I loved that while there was a happy ending, it wasn't all sunshine and roses. There is a lot of healing left to do for the characters and the ending of the story reflected that grief and loss aren't healed overnight. I was kind of hoping that her friend Frankie, would get her own story, if only so we can peek back into their lives and see how well things are going.
It never fails to amazing me the things we pass on to our children without meaning to and how one person's decisions can affect so many lives. It is a painful truth that sometimes a parents love can damage more deeply than neglect.

3 out of 5 Stars
The Billionaire's Command by Victoria Villeneuve
3 out of 5 Stars
- wasn't a lot of D/S
- neither resolved their issues
- he at least seemed to be working towards a resolution
Enslaved by Artemis Hunt
4 out of 5 Stars
- the language is off putting
- like the hero gradually getting her used to his touch
- last ditch flanking action, at least she knows what she is up against
- HFN
Her Wish, His Command by Malia Mallory
4 out of 5 Stars
- suspenseful
- interesting that he is naturally dominant but doesn't feel comfortable being a Dom nor is it a preference
- even without trying he gives her the domination she needs in the bedroom
- overall story line wasn't resolved
The Object of His Desire by PJ Adams
1 out of 5 Stars
- Too much reiteration
- very confusing with the back and forth
Still Waters by Joanna Blake
5 out of 5 Stars
- not a lot of BDSM
- the father's concern is too little, too late
- glad they were able to save her
- her mother is criminally neglectful
Her Two Doms by Adrianna Hunter
5 out of 5 Stars
- love the curvier heroine
- seamless story progression
- re-reading this story was a lot of fun
Heidi & the Kaiser by Selena Kitt
3 out of 5 Stars
- interesting how her mind works, definitely under-utilizing her skills
- not sure if I liked the hero or not
- sexually submissive doesn't mean doormat
- glad the truth came out, go Lenny!
Recommendation: Overall there were some good reads and some not so good reads. Worthwhile to pick up.

ARC Review: Highland Wolf Pact by Selena Kitt
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
4 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
This was an interesting take on shifters and how shifters played into Henry gaining the throne. This was an intriguing journey and while the women were treated horribly, it does fit the lifestyles of that time period.
What did I not like?
I feel bad for the female wulvers, biology sucks. It is also heartbreaking the lengths that the females in this story have to go through to save their people. The men in their lives (Raife's mother'e mate excluded) need to open their eyes and pull their head out of their backsides.
Recommendation: It was an interesting blend of paranormal and historical. It was an intense read and I want to know if there will be a follow up about Donal.

ARC: Club Alpha: A BDSM Romance Boxed Set by Selena Kitt, Amy Valenti, Sienna Stapleton, Terry Towers, Emilia Kincade, Malia Mallory, PJ Adams, Arden Aoide, Elsa Day, Juliette Jaye, Adriana Hunter, Sophie Sawyer, Candy Quinn
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
4 out of 5 Stars
Claiming His Tease by Amy Valenti
I liked that although much of their courtship was public their consummation was private. I also like that she made him wait and work for it. The best victories are those hard fought for.
Breaking Boundaries by Sienna Stapleton
I loved the hero in this story. He is sensitive to her and her needs. I love the idea of a safe place to train and learn for those exploring their sensual nature.
Escape by PJ Adams
I felt there were actually three stories, loosely intertwined and the reader was pulled between them.
Pavlov by Arden Aoide
Going on without your other half is hard and made the hero seem harsh. It's especially excruciating when you know it's your fault they are alone. I'm glad they got their second chance.
Rough Edges by Adriana Hunter
This one was a reality check. When guys feel cornered they do dumb things. She was nice enough not to give up on him.
Club Red by Sophia Sawyer
This was an interesting role reversal.
Precious Pet by Candy Quinn
This one was an interesting read. It felt dirty, in a good way.
Recommendation: I liked most of the stories in the anthology. A few of them weren't to my tastes but overall, a good read.

ARC: Crave: Tales of Vampire Romance Boxed Set by Michelle Fox, Selena Kitt, Marian Tee, Tabitha Conall, Alexis Dare, Abigail Graham, CD Christian, AE Grace
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
4 out of 5 Stars
Beholden by Marian Tee
I found this to be an interesting story line with a cliffhanger ending.
Her Vampire Mate by Tabitha Conall
The vamp faction has a lot of backstabbing. I'm hoping Grace mates with Cael or Killion.
Her Bark, His Bite by AE Grace
The excerpts from the newspaper and her book were kind of distracting. This was an interesting take on the shift.
Knight Fall by Alexis Dare
This was more of a suspense story, there was less romance than I was expecting. I do like the setting.
The Blood of Angels by Selena Kitt
This was more like a narration but it worked for this story. Beautiful.
Blood Struck by Michelle Fox
I'm glad they didn't have to separate her from her mom. Interesting way to meet your father.
Thrall by Abigail Graham
I like the hero and the gory, descriptive scenes. Nice!
Recommendation: I read most of the books in this anthology. While some of them made me tilt my head and question, overall it is a good read.

ARC Review: Love Charms: A Paranormal Romance Box Set by Ava Catori, Cerys du Lys, Deanna Roy, Charisma M. Cole, Selena Kitty, J.E. and M. Keep, Eve Langlais, Michelle McCleod, Shirl Anders, Ty Nolan
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.
