#Review #Shifter #BlackstoneMountian The Blackstone She-Bear (Blackstone Mountain book 7) by Alicia Montgomery

Amelia Walker is finally coming home to Blackstone. Few people know the real reason why she left – her heart and her bear had been broken when her mate, polar bear shifter Mason Grimes, suddenly left her after their whirlwind romance. When she finds out that Mason is back in town too, she does her best to avoid him.

Leaving Amelia was the worst mistake of Mason’s life. But, Blackstone is his salvation, the only way he can right the wrongs of the past and provide for his daughter, Cassie, after his ex-wife abandons her. He doesn’t have time for love, but when he finds out that he’s the reason Amelia is broken, he vows to make it right.

Amelia doesn’t want to risk getting her heart broken all over again and she knows that Mason has other priorities. But, she can’t resist the pull of the mating call, but she knows she must stay away, for everyone’s sake.

Will the pain of the past keep them apart or is the pull of fated mates stronger? Find out by reading this heart-wrenching paranormal romance.

 I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book.

Ok, we all know that Alicia Montgomery is great at writing angsty shifters, with this story she gives us heartbreak.

Amelia Walker was sure she met her mate at 21, it was like she was told all her life.  She knew as soon as she saw him he belonged to her.  Mason, knew nothing about mates, he just knew that he was drawn to  Amelia like he had never been anyone else.

When he suddenly has to leave because he’s told he’s gotten a superior officer’s family member pregnant, he has to do what’s right no matter what his heart and bear says.  Amelia leaves Blackstone after this and only returns for visits, because she knows her family will sense that she no longer herself.

Years later she moves back to town to be closer to her family again and who else has moved to town……Mason.

Mason knows that he screwed things up years ago, however since he didn’t know anything about shifters until he was grown he didn’t know anything about mate bonds until now and now he realizes not only did he screw up his life but Amelia’s as well.

Man, I thought that Luke’s story was my favorite but Amelia and Mason are giving him a run for his money.

Broken mate bonds, neglected children,  a second chance at love.  This book gives you all the feels.

#WOTR2018 #Paranormal #VCWarriors Ronan (The Protectors book 12) by Teresa Gabelman

Ronan (The Protectors #12)

Most think that newest VC Warrior, Ronan McDonald, is just a laid back cowboy. What they don’t see is the inner turmoil that only his small ranch and horses can tame. At least that was the way it had been until a witch with a beauty none could deny walked into his life.

Running has been Kira Grail’s life for as long as she can remember. It isn’t until she meets a VC Warrior that she realizes she is growing weary, but the forces chasing her will never bend.

Ronan doesn’t believe in witches or curses. What he does believe is that only he can keep Kira safe. Together they fight to bring the once powerful warlock, Orjyll, to his knees releasing the women of the Dragonfly Coven. During their perilous journey Kira vows to keep her distance, but the vampire cowboy has other plans.

 I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book.

You know the saying “Save a horse, ride a cowboy”?  Well, if that cowboy happens to be a VC Warrior that’s even better and with Ronan that’s who you get, a vampire warrior cowboy!!!

Mira we met in Steve’s book, Invisible Warrior, she’s Kira’s sister. To recap they’ve been running all their lives from the evil Orjyll.  He wants the Dragonfly coven dead so that his powers can return.

Mira is scrappy, she fights the pull she feels for Ronan, but come on we know in the end no one can fight  love for long.  She also learns that she is more powerful than she ever knew.

We also get to see Ronan on his home turf, his ranch riding a horse!!!  Can you say yummy!!!! Lol!!!  

While the group is on the look out for Oyjyll, the mates are training to become warriors too and boy is there drama with that and our boy Jared.

That Teresa gives us Mira and Ronan’s story along with what is going on with the other Warrior’s is why she’s one of the best.  Yes, her readers want new stories, however we also want to know what is going on with some of our beloved characters, it’s the best of both worlds.

#WOTR18 #NewRelease #RH #DoubleReview – The Ties That Bind (An Ariel Kimber Novel Book 4) by Mary Martel

The Ties That Bind (An Ariel Kimber Novel Book 4) by [Martel, Mary]

The Ties That Bind is book 4 in the Ariel Kimber Series.
Ariel Kimber isn’t like most seventeen year old girls. She’s different because she’s a witch with magic and it’s rare for females to hold magic anymore. She’s settling into her new place amongst her coven of guys while she’s settling into her new home at the same time.
The Council’s appearance into their lives has put everyone on edge. With good reason. Ariel is forced to meet with one of them on a regular basis so that they can learn from each other. Really, though, they just want to get to the bottom of where Ariel came from and she is more than happy to comply with them.
Because there is one thing she wants more than anything else in the world, and that’s to find the man who has been searching for her for years. Her biological father.
And Ariel is willing to go through any and every thing to find him.

This is the fourth book in a slow burn Reverse Harem Series.

The Ties that Bind, Ariel Kimble book 4 by Mary Martel

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Man, this book…in a word….INTENSE!!   There is a lot that goes on this this book plus a hella-lotta of set up for the next few books.  You better buckle in friends because shit is about to get crazy!!

Before I begin, I gotta say I LOVED seeing Ariel spend time with Dash *Blushing* I dunno what it is about him but he is just *Sigh* so sweet.  I also loved Ariel starting to date the other guys she hasn’t bonded with.  We see the bonds she has with Her Salt & Pepper Twins, Uncle Panty Thief, Tyson, and even Dash but Her date with Damien…seriously put him on my radar!!!  Then her time with Julian even if it was brief…..Yeah I loved it!!

You guys so much happens in this book…like for real…so much.  Rain makes an appearance and I am still not sure if he is the wonderful Father Ariel is hoping for OR a Sociopath…like I am on the fence and you will be too when you read this book.  We see more of the Council, Chucky and even *GASP* Annabelle appears in this book. *Grumbles under my breath about that skank*.

But the biggest reveal comes when we find out about Ariel and her Biological Witch Family….WHOOOOOOO that is some heavy stuff!!!  But I think learning more and more about the Council gives me the chills because Ariel is gonna have some serious problems if they find out her true nature as are her seven coven boyfriends!

I cannot wait for more because this series is getting just so much better and more complex with each story!!

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

Oh Nellie this was jammed pack.  Ariel discovered her real father was out there.  Between her and her boys having to deal with the Council and dealing with the past this was an unforgettable read.

There is so much in this book I/m not sure my review will do it justice. The council is having Ariel do blood magic to find her father. This doesn’t make Quinton happy.  Not only this but the council brought back Chucky and Annabelle back into their lives and ugh that is all I’m going to say about that.  Then we do get to meet Rain, Ariel’s father, to be honest I am not sure what to think of him.

I loved to see Ariel and the guy’s relationship grow. Even though they all have trust issues after being hurt in their past we are learning more about each of them.  I like how we are learning about the guys along with Ariel.  Each of them has a different personality and Ariel reacts to them all differently.  I have to say my heart is opening more toward Damien.  Tyson made me sad when he asked Ariel to keep secrets from others.

This book kept my attention and was hard to set down. I am intrigued to see what will happen next.

A few of my favorites

The girl has a serious mouth that she had no problem popping off whenever the mood struck her (and it stuck her often enough), but being mouthy and unafraid to speak your mind were a whole lot different.

I don’t think you know how to just be. Be in the moment. Be happy. To just breathe and not have to be fighting for something or fighting off someone.

Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there. She currently resides in North Dakota with her husband, and her two beautiful daughters. She’s an avid reader, and when not writing she can be found with her nose stuck in a book.

 

#WOTR18 – #REVIEW – Greyson by JM Walker

Greyson

 

Confusion. Lust. Fear. Passion.

It started the moment she passed out in my arms.

Seduction. Vile. Depraved. Desire.

She couldn’t remember her past but looked to me like I was her future.

My walls were built. My heart was cold. My emotions vacant.

After being alone for five years with only my motorcycle club at my side, she was who I had been searching for. The one I had needed all along to light up the darkness surrounding my life. Just when I thought I had her, just when I thought I could finally allow myself that happiness I didn’t think I deserved. She was ripped from my hands…

 

Goodreads

 

Be prepared for an incredible mind scramble! Eve is literally in the midst of a mind scramble. She has no clue who she is or why she is running but she knows it’s bad. Greyson is a hardcore MC guy who has done some shady things and is and has been totally closed off from anything new. When Eve lands in Greyson’s arms he can’t help but want to help her…and she sees him as her savior. But the problem with all of this is the fact that Eve has no clue who she is and Greyson is a total dick to her because he doesn’t believe he is good enough for anyone so he continues to push her away. The story itself is a rollercoaster full of emotional heartache with some laughs and some crazy HAWT stuff!!!! I am by no means a hardcore MC reader but I fell into the King’s Harlots series where Greyson first appeared and I just cannot get enough of this man! He has such a past that I wanted to uncover and get to know. And our heroine, well she put the cherry on top.

“Wind whipped around me, slapping me in the face and cutting into my skin like broken shards of glass. Sticks dug into my feet, the pain slicing through me but no matter how much agony it caused, I ran faster and faster. I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t know what I was running toward. All I knew was that I was running from something. Whatever it had been, it was evil. Worse than the Devil himself. I didn’t know how I knew that. I couldn’t remember. But I could just feel it. “

“Eve. Sent from God to tempt me. F*** my life.”

“Hate me, beautiful girl. It’ll keep you safe.”

If there is one thing I have learned about the author with the past series and this book is that there is no end to the twists and turns that can come up. The banter between the MC members and with Eve is funny and definitely keeps Greyson on his toes. He is in constant turmoil over whether he can be the man he thinks he has to be for her and she is trying to figure out if her attraction is love or just that she needs someone to latch on to. But, whew! When the plot twist comes…and there is a couple, it will blow your mind! It is jammed pack full of surprises!!!

After years of putting love on the back burner and struggling to break into Hollywood as an actress, Claire jumps on an opportunity to do both—by accepting the chance to be the pursued woman in a reality television show called Matchmaker.

One-click to start this steamy romance today!

Goodreads

I received this book from the author f ran honest review.

WHUT!!  Jade is writing a RH.  When did this happen and how did I NOT KNOW? Those were my first questions when she asked me to read this book for her.  I LOVE RH.  I know they aren’t for everyone but hey that’s cool.  I am a HUGE fan and was totally stoked to jump right in.

So raise your hand if you like The Bachelor or the Bachelorette? Well them this my friends will be something you will also love to read.  Claire is an actress who agreed to be on this kinda dating show.  She will be living with 5 men for 4 weeks and at the end, hopefully she will have a hubby, dream house and career in Hollywood.

We get to meet all the guys right away when they have dinner in the house.  Lemme say, I have my favorite already and ones I can’t stand already…..#TeamGrayson alllllll day long!!  #TeamCutSpencer allllll day long.  We are jumping right into challenges to win time with our single lady Claire.  When the winner is crowned she still gets alone time with the other guys but in a much shorter time span.  We see all the guys and love each one for a different reason…ok I didn’t love them all but yeah that is just me.

Right when we THINK we know what is going to happen we are given news that the “winning” guys gets cash?  HRMMMMM???  But the biggest WTF moment was when we learn Claire doesn’t get to “give a rose” to the dudes she wants to keep…no my friends the studio audience picks! GASP!  So crazy!!  But I will add I have serious concerns about our TV Host Cat.  I see Shady town written alllllll over her face!!!

I can’t wait for the next installment of the series!!  I have my fingers crossed that the studio audience hears my cried of #CutTheDB about Spencer.

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging than Dirty Dancing, she–like Baby–won’t be put in a corner…or a box. So even though you can’t really stick her books in one genre, you could say she mostly writes steamy Contemporary Romance–and, while you’re at it, you’ll notice in her stories that Jade freaking loves Colorado, hard music, coffee, bad words, and CHOCOLATE!!! And so do her characters.

Oh, and there’s always a glimmer of hope…because if life doesn’t have that, what’s the damn point?

#WOTR18 #Review #NewRelease #MM – The Long Shot by Brandy L. Rivers

The Long Shot

One look and he knew it was a long shot.

Ryan King is a movie star with a secret. Women fall at his feet for a chance, but that’s never been what he wanted. Broken hearted after helping his closest friend claim the love of his life, Ryan is searching for a distraction. One who can keep his secret.

Shannon O’Neil’s life has changed drastically in the last few years. He served as a Navy SEAL to escape his father’s scrutiny, but an injury forced him to reevaluate his choices. Now he runs a successful security firm. One that recently took a consulting job to train a group of actors for an upcoming movie.

The attraction is immediate but long distance relationships have never worked for either. Still, they want to try. Navigating through their own family drama, and Ryan’s shooting schedule may prove too much of a burden.

Goodreads

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

I have always wanted to read a book by this author because my bestie loves her stuff but seeing her list of long series , I just cant find the time.  When I saw she started a new series about movie stars I was interested.  When I saw book #2 was an MM, I was SOLD!  Check Please!!  Yes, can I have an extra 4 chapters of MM Lovin’!

The story is about Ryan, the popular movie star who every woman wants but can’t seem to get.  Welp ladies, it seems we don’t have the “equipment” Ryan enjoys in a bed mate *Wink*.  Ryan is using his bestie Raven has his cover to keep the paparazzi and gold diggers at bay.  Seems everyone is ok if the co-stars are dating….well everyone except for Raven’s stalker!!  Ryan sees a hot guy at a club one night and is pretty sad when he sees the hottie is with the ladies. *Snaps fingers* If only he swung Ryan’s way right……WELLLLLL…..

Shannon is an ex-Navy Seal who now trains movie stars on guns, stunts, ect before movies begin filming.  He is out before his new bunch of movie stars show up and he sees Ryan.  But he knows he is dating Raven soooo why is the hottie’s eyes on him 24/7 tonight?  Could Ryan be interested???

I enjoyed the slow set up and Ryan and Shannon.  Both men are used to hiding their sexuality from the world.  They both learn very quickly that they are very similar in the way they protect the ones they love.  They are both struggling to over-come past issues and if what they feel is IT!!  The L word!!

We see them slowly letting their loves ones in on their secret but still worried about what the world will say when they find out America’s favorite movie star is gay.  We also see Shannon dealing with his dad and sister’s inability to believe he is in love with a man and not a woman.

The side characters were great.  I loved Luke and Raven’s continued support of Ryan and Shannon’s relationship.  Manny I pretty much wanted to throat punch the entire damn story.  DUDE Be like Elsa and “Let it go!”

I’ve always loved books, especially about monsters and magic, so I started writing. I’m working on a prequel and the next few books in the Others of Edenton series, and I have a head full of stories to share.

I’m a stay at home mother with a wonderful husband who lets me write and write to my hearts content.

 

#REVIEW – Coach Long by K Webster

Coach Everett Long has a chip on his shoulder.
Working every day with the man who stole his
fiancée leaves him pissed and on edge.
His temper is volatile and his attitude sucks.

River Banks is a funky-styled runner
with a bizarre past.
Starting over at a new school was supposed to
be easy…but she should have known better.
She likes to antagonize and tends to go after
what she’s not supposed to have.

When the arrogant bully meets the strong-willed
brat, it sparks an illicit attraction.
Together, they heat up the track with
longing and desire.
Everything about their chemistry is wrong.
So why does it feel so right?

She’s a hurdle in his way and, dear God does
he want to jump her.
Will she be worth the risk or
will he fall flat on his face?

Twinsie Jo’s Review

Well this was a delicious little treat. I had found this new release on my newsfeed and was intrigued. I love little taboo stories and this one was perfect. This story is part of K’s taboo series but can be read as a standalone. It was my first book by her and I didn’t feel lost at all but I’ll definitely be going back and reading more of her books.

So we meet River and Coach. And wow do the sparks fly instantly. River is filled with fire and sass and keeps Coach on his toes the whole book. They’re back and forth banter is funny and hot. So so hot.

Coach had his heart ripped out by his ex so he’s now dark and brooding and yummy. River is everything that he needs.

The only thing I would have loved to have seen was Coach punch out River’s father. Lol!

This story is short, hot and filled with all the sexy little kink I enjoy in my stories. It’s insta-love so if you’re looking for a filler between books or something to read while curling up with a glass of wine, this book is perfect.

#WOTR18 #NewRelease #Review #Paranormal #Mythology #MMA – Blood Lust, The Gods of DC Book #1 by Tricia Andersen

Blood Lust (The Gods of DC Book 1) by [Andersen, Tricia]

She doesn’t believe she has a soul.
She believes it was stolen from her when that bastard turned her into the creature she is now.
But little does she know, she does. What is there isn’t dark and twisted, defiled by the lust for blood. She is pure and loving, with a body and attitude that arouses me every moment of the day. And I will move universes and defy my father and mother to make her into something I’m worthy of loving, someone that will stay by my side through eternity.
I will fight the forces of the gods to make her mine. I won’t stop until she belongs to me forever. And how am I, just a mere fighter, going to do that?
Because, baby, I’m a god.

Goodreads

Blood Lust by Tricia Andersen

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

HOLY MOLY this book knocked my socks off!!!  Paranormal meets the Greek Gods??  Uhm YES PLEASE!!! When Tricia told me about this book, I was super excited.  When I finally got the book, I was ecstatic.  I can’t say enough how much I loved reading this book.  But remembering all the Gods from college, I was like “OMG Yes I remember them.”

Juliet is a typical vampire looking to score some blood.  Well our little vampire is a little more than usual because she actually cares about who she drains dry.  She strolls into the underground MMA fight looking for meal, when she sees the most beautiful and sexy man EVAH!!  She is all “Game on” with this one.  She knows he might be a bit more of a challenge, but she is ready for it.  She is stunned when all of a sudden, the man of hour is right there at the bar hitting on her …along with others things he does with her at the bar *snickers*

Ares, the God of War, is mesmerized by the vampire at the club.  He knows she will be able to “handle his appetites” so he dives into a night of fun with the little minx.  He is loving spending time with her because she challenges him at every turn and he loves it.  He can’t get enough of her telling HIM, the God of War, No!!  I love the banter the two have because they cracked me up a lot.

When Ares and Juliet discover there are serious emotions at play, they both freak.  The last person Ares loves was Aphrodite and we all know how wonderful their relationship turned out….not good if you weren’t aware.  The last person who Juliet loved broke her heart and turned her into the creature she is now.  Love and Trust is not something these two people can willingly accept from others.

His family hates her and wants her dead.  His ex has become a bit too clingy and needy…ya know I don’t want you but I don’t want anyone else to have you type of chick *eye roll*….her maker is all about claiming what is his again after hundreds of years, PLUS the vampire hunter is closing in on Juliet.  There is so much action and so many plot twists you never see what will happen next!!  I seriously hope we get another book really soon and I am BEGGING for it to be Aletha because I just loved her so hard but Pan would be pretty funny to see which nymph captures his heart.

Tricia Andersen lives in Iowa with her husband and her three children. She graduated from the University of Iowa with a Bachelor of Arts in English and from Kirkwood Community College with an Associate of Arts degree in Communications Media/Public Relations.

Goodreads

 I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book

HOLY COVERS BATMAN!!!!!  Yep, Greyson’s cover is gonna grab you by the throat with how hot it is, but the man inside is what’s gonna make you stay and fall in love.

Now, we’ve met Greyson before he was in Walker’s King’s Harlots series, however you have to read those books to follow what I hope is the start of a all new series!!!

Greyson is, let me see how do I describe him???  HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!!!  ALPHA, ALPHA, ALPHA!!!   Motorcycle ridin’ , leather wearing, DOMINANT, all wrapped up into one ball of a yummy President.

Eve is a girl who doesn’t know who she is literally, not that she’s trying to find herself she has amnesia.  She was running through the woods when she passed out outside of of the Hell’s Harlem clubhouse, Greyson’s MC.

While everyone is trying to figure out who Eve really is there is also the relationship that she and Greyson are kinda but not really fighting against.  Both of them feel this heavy pull toward the other and man is it yummy.  Greyson is a man that knows what he wants, when he wants it, and forget about Eve I wanna give it to him.

Man, Walker can write some intense stuff.  Eve’s background, the holy hotness relationship of Greyson and her, the man himself is even intense.  I really don’t know who she walks around with these people in her head!!! Lol.

OMG!! And Greyson’s club brothers!!! I forgot about them!!! They sooooooooooo, need their stories told, I mean I fear for JM Walker’s sanity with all these intense hot guys in her mind!!! Lol!!
