Review by Twinsie Angie

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

When I was told that the author was writing a paranormal story I was over the moon.  Paranormal was mu jam.  Knowing how great of a writer she is, I knew she would nail the story and boy was I right.

Raven is being forced to go to an college by her overbearing, rich, “important” father.  He doesn’t want her to ruin the good family name after what she recently did!!

Raven meets her roomie Prestley (who I love so much and cannot wait for what is in store for her and Dec) that forces her to come out of her room to hang out.  When she is hangin’ with her one night she runs into a tall drink of water.  After a one night stand she strolls into her class to find he is her teacher!!!  WHOOOOP.

Locke is stunned stupid when he sees the woman he met on the side of the road who has captures his heart and mind is a STUDENT!!  WOOF he broke meg rules.

The story is amazing.  Raven and Locke are fighting their attraction while we are also finding out all of their backstory which is amazing.  Raven has secrets.  Loche has secrets.  Dec has something happening that I need to know forbook 2.  The rest of Loche’s team are having issues as well.

This story was not long enough.  The story has so much happening that I couldn’t put the story down.  I am also very excited the future stories in the series because its going to be

#WOTR25 #Audio #Shifters #Novella #InstaLove – Curvy Girl Shifters book 1 by DV Fischer

Audiobook now LIVE on the boxed-set.

When Olivia returned home from New York, she had nothing to show for herself. Her photography business was a flop and her love life had gone dry.

In an attempt to get her out of the rut she’s in, her best friends convince her to try out a dating app. She was reluctant at first, but then she got a match.

They meet up and sparks fly, making it the best night of her life. She had no idea that he was a shifter at the time, an alpha at that, nor did he mention the fact that she was his fated mate. She only discovered this after the mating had already begun.

I purchased this audio book.

Sweet Baby Jesus this author.  I am in love.  Love I tell ya.  I devoured a different audio set last week and jumped right into this series.  Now this series is different in that people know about shifters whereas the last series, shifters were hidden from everyone.

This is another insta-love series and your girl is here for it!!  Jason and Olivia meet on blind date app.  They meet up at the local bar for drinks.  Jason was a few minutes late and Oliva was about to give up on him when he showed.  His wolf was going crazy to claim his fated mate, but Jason has to take the reigns and calm him down.  Yo Wolfie slow your roll and let the human get to know you!!!  The story was just fun to listen to and yes the plot twist was expected but I still LOVED IT!!!

Olivia and her best friends are all enjoy life and happy she is back in town. Jason and his closest shifter friends left their original pack to start their own.  It just to happens they also need some females to complete the full pack narrative.

Guys for real, I am so excited for this series.  Jason and Olivia were a fun read but LAWD book 2 I am already starting because Micheal and Amelia are going to be off the walls awesome!!!!

#Review – What a Dragon Loves (Star of The North Dragons) Book 4 by Ava Cuvay


Arkyn Drekison is the alpha-heir of his Minnesota family’s dragon shifter clan. Always at the front, in the know, and ahead of the curve. But his younger brothers have all found love and, for the first time in his life, he’s… left behind. He can’t fall for just anyone. He needs a dependable, feisty, steadfast shield maiden to love: a fellow shifter who can help lead his clan and mesh with the many strong personalities within his family. So why is he utterly captivated by a woman who is anything but? She’s human, delicate, spacey, and far more comfortable with babies and pets than anyone old enough to make conversation. Yet there’s something about her that entices his dragon and makes his earth power rumble with desire.

Amalthea Payne is a chaotic hot mess on a good day, always saying the wrong thing, easily distracted, and, well… just plain weird. She’s unintentionally high-maintenance, and no one—friends and lovers, alike—needs the kind of bizarre she brings to the table. So she’s a loner, which is probably for the best, because the mayhem churning deep in her soul is growing stronger, threatening to suck her into a void of her own insanity. Yet when she helps the tall, blond, and gorgeous flannel-wearing-Thor-wannabee rescue a kitten, there’s something about him that soothes her savage beast. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

This novella is the fourth book of the Star of the North Dragon series, which can be read in any order or as standalone novellas.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Opposites attract in the craziest of ways, via the cat distribution system!

I started laughing almost immediately! Arkyn is the oldest and always in charge. Very organized with a plan. Until the cat distribution system interrupted his life and introduced him to Ama, a chaos tornado stuffed in a  hurricane of crazy and wrapped with a blizzard of mayhem. Arkyn already has his hands full and can’t understand why he is drawn to her crazy. Ama is NOTHING like what he thinks he needs in a woman. In true Drekison fashion, the family slowly but surely opens Arkyn’s eyes so that he should listen to his heart, and not his head. Ama can’t explain the pull she has to Arkyn and surely doesn’t understand the calmness she feels around him.

“He gazed at her like she was some riddle he couldn’t solve. Good luck to him; she couldn’t solve that riddle either.”

Being part of their journey and watching them grow together was insanely funny but also had super melty heart moments that made me swoon, and perhaps switch my crush from Ulrik to Arkyn (wags eyebrows). I normally wouldn’t say that the last book in a series is my favorite, but honestly, this really is my favorite!

#Review – What a Dragon Desires (Star of the North Dragons) Book 3 by Ava Cuvay

Ulrik Drekison serves comfortably at the right hand of his oldest brother. As a Wood Dragon shifter, he is the peacekeeper, serene as the forests surrounding his Minnesota home. When a deadly pest invasion threatens the future of his family’s logging company and the entire state’s economy, he’s primed to battle the infestation but ill-equipped to combat his attraction to the voluptuous woman sent by an opposing company. Unaffected by his Viking good looks and his innate dragon sensuality, she trashes his calm at every turn. Yet, as antagonistic as she is, he can’t seem to walk away from her.

Eydís Helvig was born a dragon shifter… without a dragon. As an apex predator with no beast to back up her brazen attitude, her own clan rejects her and humans barely tolerate her. When she’s tasked to diffuse a small family logging company’s outcry about a bug crisis, she is inexorably drawn by the Drekison’s innate power and integrity, especially the hostile yet passionate brother, Ulrik. She yearns to set down roots she’s never had. But like everyone else, Ulrik and his family won’t want her, especially after her employer’s secret is exposed.

This novella is the third in the Star of the North Dragon series, which can be read in any order or as standalone novellas.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

Oh, Baby Girl! Ulrik and his Viking good looks will never live this down!

I was pulled in right from the very beginning and couldn’t put this one down.

Eydis comes in like a wrecking ball with the intention of putting a hurtin’ on the Drekison’s logging company, but the only hurtin’ she does is to herself. She has become a force to be reckoned with in the industry and is cutthroat. What she didn’t plan on was falling for the Viking in sweats that say “Baby Girl” on the butt! You are going to have to read this one to know more about the sweats. I promise, you won’t be disappointed. After that awkward meeting, they continue clashing together. Neither of them can keep their hands to themselves but she continues to pull away. Both are going utterly insane! She definitely has some issues, but who better to work through those issues with than Ulrik? He’s gorgeous, funny, strong, and has a big heart (I may or may not have a little crush on Ulrik).

Ulrik is always second in command but always there to help in any way he is able. Eydis was dealt an incredibly horrible hand in life and she uses that to make her cold and hard. Both Ulrik and Eydis have a tough exterior but find that together, they are all mushy and stuff (I say that with the utmost love for these two). The push and pull between Ulrik and Eydis is very, very…did I say VERY? INTENSE!

Their secrets are related more closely than they could ever imagine. When they finally collide, fireworks explode! Thes two were made for each other!

#WOTR25 #Review – Drave: The Vampire King (Black Mountain Pack Book 6) by Miranda Lynn

ONE VAMPIRE KING WANTED FOR HIS POWER

I am one of the three oldest vampires on earth. When I learn my people are disappearing from the black mountain pack territory, it’s time to visit. It’s supposed to be a simple trip until Fate decides I’m finally worthy of a mate. Only the power hungry female I left in charge of my nest will do anything to get what she wants, even destroy what fate has given me.

ONE LYNX SHIFTER STANDING IN THE WAY

Life was perfect until fate decided to meddle. A good job, a stable home, and my precious cubs leave no room for a man or a mate. However, things take a sharp turn when the bar I manage is blown up and rogue wolves come hunting my twins. To make matters worse, my unwanted mate’s vampire ho thinks taking me hostage will force him to his knees. Underestimating a mother’s drive to protect her children might be the last mistake she ever makes…

Review by Twinsie Kelly

DRAVEN!!!! I couldn’t wait for this book and I was not disappointed!!!

While reading the Black Mountain Pack series, I was always intrigued with Marla, and while reading this book, I totally understand why. She is a hardheaded, say it like it is, take no crap momma! And what does someone like this need? The sinful patience of her mate. The strong mate that would burn the world to the ground for the woman he loves but also knows when to stop and hold her while she lets her crazy come out. D.R.A.V.E.N.

Things are going wrong all over the place. Draven finds that there is trouble at the local nest and there are sickly rogue shifters staying with the pack and asking about the kids Marla has taken in as her own. And the cherry on top is the bar has been targeted. Needless to say, everyone is on edge. Even with everything so unsettled, Marla is fighting the mating urge with everything that she has. And the shhhh that is about to go down! All the things that Marla and Draven have to go through will infuriate you AND pull at your heart strings.

This is definitely a page turner. There is so much going on and so many different worlds colliding that you can’t help but continue turning the pages to find out what happens next. Draven and Marla both get to see a side of the other that they had no clue about. No one knows why the fates chose to mate a vampire and a shifter, and we may never find out. However, the fates chose wisely for them. These two are the perfect match. Everything about each of them contradicts mating but they were definitely made for each other.  A MUST READ!

Miranda’s stories are focused around strong female leads and sexy males who appreciate them. She strives to encourage her readers that they can have it all in real life too.

GAH!!  When book 4 ended I jumped into book 5.  To read book 5 you MUST read book 4 as it is a cliffhanger ending.

Meredith and Josiah have so much to deal with.  Meredith and Eva are captured and being tortured when they are saved by the pack….uhm I mean not pack but friends Cade, Cruz, Aaron, and Josiah.  We see a resolution to the situation of the shifters kidnaper storyline and then we have to find out what will happen with Meredith and Josiah!!

Meredith has big choices to make.  I mean she has a boyfriend who is a dick but she has him OR does she follow the mating call and what her wolf wants.

This book made me super excited and very happy with how it all ended.

I purchased this audio book.

I purchased the entire audio set of books 1-5 when I met the author at a book signing.  I love love love novellas and to know I had 5 was *chef’s kiss*

So Cruz is the bartender who loves to keep secrets.  He also is the guy who seems to enjoy giving everyone crap.  When his alpha….I mean his good friend Cade because we don’t have packs anymore…..asked him to check up on the newspaper guy who is out to out shifters, he meets his mate Eva.

Eva is stunned stupid when the hot as sin man who is also a shifter shows up at her office to find out about the old guy who did her job.  They two have that insta-love that happens when a shifter finds their mate.

This book is quick and fast, but it also ends on a cliffhanger.  The other 3 books were interconnected but this book and book 5 need to be read in order.  To get the best bang for your buck with the story you need to read them all.

Eva and Cruz find each other which also helps book 5 (Josiah the fight announcer and scheduler plus Meredith, Eva’s sister) story line get started.  This book was a sweet…I mean sexy…read when all of a sudden BANG…literally…you are thrown in to book 5 for the resolution of Eva and Cruz and Josiah and Meredith.  When book 4 ended and eagerly started book 5!

I loved the series and am excited to start another set of novellas by this author.

Joyce is a therapist. She specializes in trauma and death, and she’s good at her job. With that in mind, she can’t understand why shifters would go to an underground fight club, least of all the mate who doesn’t want her, to beat the crap out of each other. But Avani is her best friend and she drags her there anyway. It’s torture, knowing that her mate doesn’t want her, but she’s determined to get to the bottom of his pain whether he likes it or not. Aside from the rumors spread about him at the club, Kye has a trauma-filled past with a whole lot of secrets. He uses that pain to win every fight, just to feel something. But when his mate starts showing up, he heads down a downward spiral of horrible memories. He knows he can’t have her because he’s just too damaged. In order to protect her from himself, he rejects her.

I purchased this book.

I met this author at a book signing.  When I saw I could get 5 novellas for a few bucks I jumped. I started this book when I was on the long drive home.  The author has several novellas series (all on audio as well).  I just grabbed this set and went.  They are all standalones.  The only issue I had was wondering why wolf packs dispersed.  I am not sure if that is discussed in another book but otherwise, I just rolled with it.  Packs can’t be packs. Got it!

When book 1 ended I was laughing like a crazy person.  Avani and Joyce were cooking up some trouble to get Kye to claim his mate.

Book 2 begins with Joyce dressed up very sexy which is not her at all.  She starts to flirt to get her mates attention and it sure did work.  Kye’s grumpy and claimy self-came and said NO to her flirting but then also ran away with his wolf tail between his leg.

Joyce and Kye have a lot of steamy chemistry and then lots of step backs.  They are literally perfect or each other but Kye is being stubborn.  Good things Joyce is a feisty spitfire who will not give up on her mate.

These 2 were a blast to read.  I loved it so much.  I was excited when book 3 started to play and I saw Aaron gets a book.  The healer is in need of some sexual healing himself!!

#WOTR25 #Audio #Paranormal #Shifters #FatedMate – Mated to Curves, Book 1 by D.V. Fischer

Avani is okay with being alone. Even though all shifters are packless and the world looks vastly different now that the humans are suspicious they exist, she’s handling the solitary life quite well. However, she’s thrown a curve ball when she finds out that her mate owns a shifter underground club she frequents. Once he laid eyes on her, he was determined to keep her. But, even though he’s incredibly attractive, enticing, and she wants more than anything to give in to him, she isn’t stupid. Two alphas together would start a pack and that could be disastrous. With her demanding to remain mate-less for the good of their kind, how is he going to convince her to accept him?

This is a steamy curvy girl shifter romance with two strong alpha characters.

#NewRelease #Shifters #Paranormal – Bonds of the Wolf, The Wild Legacy book 7 by Cherise Sinclair

Moya’s ugly past left her fearful of dominant males. And now, when males push her, rather than giving in, she punches them. One morning, after hours of being harassed by the wolf pack’s belligerent alpha, she mistakenly hits a blameless male—a wolf-shifter new to town.

To Moya’s dismay, the wolf-shifter and his brother are under-paw everywhere.Confident and powerful, darkly gorgeous Patrin exudes a terrifying dominance. His brother Fell is blond, muscular, and obviously deadly. When they step in to save a couple of cubs from a bully, she’s torn between her heart and her fears.

Patrin thinks the tiny female who punched him is adorable,and his silent brother actually laughs. Fell rarely speaks and hasn’t since they were children, imprisoned and trained as assassins by the brutal humans in the Scythe. Free for only a year, Patrin, Fell, and the other shifter-soldiers, are eliminating the Scythe to keep their people safe. He and Fell have been sent to this small town to serve as bait.

Patrin and Fell have never considered staying in one place, and they’re surprised to be welcomed by the shifter community. After so many years with humans, they’ve never felt part of a clan. They certainly never considered getting involved with anyone.

But there’s something about the tiny shifter female with the quick fists…Two heart-wounded, powerful brothers, a feisty bookstore wolf, a loyal wolf pack, and a whole territory of shifters must fight to survive a malicious pack alpha and the merciless Scythe humans.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book for an honest review.

I get so excited when I see Cherise has sent another book to read.  Her books make my heart so happy.  This is one of my favorite authors and so of course I jump when I can read her books.

Patrin and Fell *clapping* I am so excited for this book.  These two dominant men were trained by the Scythe.  When they are free, they take out the rest of the Scythe.  They are soldiers and “brothers”.  They train others to also hunt and get rid of the enemy.

Moya is living in the town when she comes across these 2 dominate men.  She is not a fan and let them know right away she will not be bossed around by them.  I have to say I laughed so hard at what she does. Get it Moya.  LOL

As all love stories and HEA’s for Cherise go, the characters have to learn to trust before love can happen.  They have to deal with lots of outside forces and drama to make sure the love story is complete.  This is another great addition to the series.

If you are a fan of this series and Cherise’s words then this book will make your heart so happy.

A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, she’s renowned for writing heart-wrenching romances with laugh-out-loud dialogue, alpha males, and absolutely sizzling sex.

I met my dearheart when vacationing in the Caribbean. Now I won’t say it was love at first sight. Actually since he stood over me, enjoying the view down my swimsuit top, I might have been a tad peeved—as well as attracted. But although we were together less than two days and lived on opposite sides of the country, love can’t be corralled by time or space.

We’ve now been married for many, many years. (And he still looks down my swimsuit tops.)

Nowadays, I live in the west with this obnoxious, beloved husband and a seventy-pound lap-puppy. I’m a gardener, and I love nurturing small plants until they’re big and healthy and productive…and ripping defenseless weeds out by the roots when I’m angry. I enjoy thunderstorms, collecting eggs from the chickens, and visiting the local brewery for the darkest, maltiest beer on tap. My favorite way to spend an evening is curled up on a couch next to the master of my heart, watching the fire, reading, and…well…if you’re reading my books, you obviously know what else happens in front of fires.
