A childhood crush.

Could it work? In a world of fated mates how would we possibly fake it for everyone?

Luca made it all sound so easy. My heart, body, and wolf were on board. I just needed to convince my head.

I couldn’t deny the alpha he was or the chemistry between us. Only time could tell if it would be for eternity.

A not so simple bargain changed it all.

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

Whoop!  Love me some shifters!!

This was a great, quick read for me while I was hanging outside on a nice afternoon free from work.

Caleigh and her pack are having some financial issues.  She tells her father, the Alpha, but also lets it slip to her sister from another mister/another pack member bestie Sage.  Caleigh is pretty sad and stressed out when Sage calls that she has a solution to her problems.  Caleigh runs to find out WHAT!!

Luca is Sage’s older brother and Alpha of the pack.  To say he is a dominant man s an understatement.  He gives Caleigh a plan, be my mate for 6 months and I will bail you out……WHAT?  Has he been drinking?  Luca can and does get any woman he wants so why does he want Caleigh?

Caleigh goes all in and is falling for our Alpha when things happen to cause her to not believe in him anymore.  The couple have to come to face some real-life issues with their “fake” mating.

I loved the story and thought it was a super fun, light read for any shifter lover.  I would love more from the family because there is a story there about Safe and Caleigh’s brother I just know it!!!

WHEN THE BEAST WITH A HEART OF GOLD

Everything changed for Jasper Benedict, the Earl of Ailesbury, the night his family died in a tragic fire—the same fire that left him disfigured. Now, his scars have given him the name the Beast of Faversham. But when he stumbles upon a damaged carriage during a tempest, the beautiful woman inside reminds him of the man he wishes he could be: free of his past, and able to love.

TAMES A BEAUTY WITH A WICKED PAST

When her carriage breaks down outside Faversham Abbey, this is just the most recent in a long series of misadventures for Miss Adeline Price. Her beauty hides a fatal flaw: she’s quick to judge, and rarely looks beneath the surface. But the longer she’s around Jasper, the more she begins to want to be better—someone deserving of him.

But when it comes time to reunite Adeline with her family in London, will Jasper believe that she sees not his scars, but the good, honorable man he is?

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

AHHHHH Beauty and The Beast!!  This book is totally a retelling of Beauty and The Beast!!

So our girl Adeline is a bit of a spoiled brat right?? She pouts a lot ad gets her way a lot with her brother and new sister in law/bestie Theo.   When Adeline has to take her 2 youngest sisters to boarding school she has a problem with her carriage.  It breaks down in the coldest and rainiest of nights.

Jasper is a scarred man who only has the servants for friends.  The town calls him the Beast and he is ok with the lonely life.  He has duties to his people and that is all he can see for his future…his duty.  When he offers to let Adeline in his house for the night, everything changes for the two

Adeline sees an imperfect person become the perfect match for her.  Jasper learns that he too wants more than just his duty to the villagers.  The couple have to learn how to communicate with each other on his lands with his villagers and when they are forced to return to London and deal with the ton.

I loved this book.  I loooooved seeing Adeline grow as a person in the novel.  We see the brat becoming a woman and taking a stand for what she wants.  I loved Jasper for his heart.  He may act like the shunning doesn’t hurt but he wears his heart on his sleeve.  When Adeline is the first woman to look at him as more than a Beast, he is so confused and unsure what to do.

The ballroom scene made me have a few tears especially at how bare Adeline lays it all out for her family and friends regarding Jasper.

Synopsis

Rachel Bennett’s plan is simple, no distractions until she finds her dream job. What she didn’t plan for was a fender bender with a scowling, sexy man in an expensive suit. Craig Larsen has enough stress trying to save his dealership’s reputation, he definitely doesn’t need a sassy redhead who can’t drive turning everything upside down. One thing is certain, life was much more peaceful before they crashed into each other.

Fate has other plans for them, though. Soon they find themselves plotting a yard war against a grumpy neighbor, toilet-papering the trees of an old high school nemesis, and fighting over the last slice of pizza. Can two very different people plus one fender bender equal a chance at forever?

It’s against Army regulations—I know that. But whenever I look into his eyes, I lose my ability to think straight.

He’s a Chief Warrant Officer, and I’m a mere Non-Commissioned Officer. But that doesn’t stop me from thinking about him every night, dreaming about how my body would react to his touch.

But I won’t allow myself to be another notch on his bedpost. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep our relationship professional—especially since we are teamed up to investigate a terrorist organization.

There’s no margin for error. I can’t allow my midnight fantasies to jeopardize my day job, to discredit my reputation.

But there’s one major problem. Raleigh Fitzgerald is known to get what he wants, and right now…that’s me.

A MOST INDECENT PROPOSAL

Annabelle Green needs a husband-and quickly. To inherit the only home she’s ever known, she must be married by her twenty-fifth birthday. But finding a suitor has been next to impossible after a reckless rogue named Quinton Carlisle seduced her into a scandalous midnight tryst. Her reputation in ruins, Belle now needs a rather large favor. And she knows just who to turn to . . .

Quinn can hardly believe that the shy bookish girl he teased as a child has grown into such a brazen beauty. The very idea of marrying Belle to right the wrongs of his past is downright shocking . . . and deliciously tempting. Too bad marriage, convenient or otherwise, is the last thing Quinn wants. He’ll help Belle find a husband and be on his way. But if he can’t control his attraction to the bride-to-be, this marriage could go up in flames-of wicked desire.

I fell in love with historical romances and all things Regency—and especially all those dashing Regency heroes—while living in England, where I spent most of my time studying the Romantic poets, reading Jane Austen, and getting lost all over the English countryside.

When I read my first Regency romance in 2012, I was hooked and longed to create my own independent and spirited heroines and dashing heroes. The best part of writing historical romances is falling into history—to live in the world of Regency England through my characters, with dazzling balls, beautiful dresses, and gorgeous houses that I would otherwise never be able to experience. I love the period’s rich history and find that all those rules of etiquette and propriety can be worked to the heroine’s advantage…if she’s daring enough to seize her dreams.

In addition to earning my degrees in the U.S., I have studied theatre in London, Mexican history in Guadalajara, and Spanish in Ecuador. I am an avid traveler and have enjoyed visiting schools and volunteering with children’s organizations in Peru, Ecuador, Thailand, and Mexico, and I have amassed thousands of photos I unleash on unsuspecting friends who dare to ask about my travels.

I love to be outdoors! I’ve been hiking in Alaska, the Andes, and the Alps, including one week spent dangling off the via ferrata in the Italian Dolomites, and I love whitewater rafting (when I don’t fall in!). I earned my pilot’s license at Chicago Midway (To all the controllers in Chicago Center—I greatly apologize for every problem I caused for you and Southwest Airlines), and it is my dream to one-day fly in a hot-air balloon over Africa.

I adore all things chocolate, shamelessly dive into ice cream of any flavor, and guzzle Kona coffee by the gallon. A Doctor Who fanatic (everyone says my house is bigger on the inside), I am a terrible cook who hopes to one day use my oven for something other than shoe storage. When I’m not writing, I like to spend my time trying not to kill the innocent rose bushes in my garden.

Isn’t it gorgeous?

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

Rytsar is back!!!  Man was I a MESS after he was kidnapped but our fierce, Sadist came back with a BOOM *Snickers at my inside joke*

Rytsar is down and dying at the hands of his enemy. He is hoping and praying his brother from antoher mother, Thane, will stay away to keep Brie and the babe safe but you know Thane, that is not gonna work for him.  As Rystar is in his cell being befriended by a sweet dog, he is rethinking everything and every memory that he appreciated in his life…..Everything from his lost love to Brie, Thane and their soon to be little one.….I mean he may also be making a “your gonna die a slow and painful death if I get the chance” list….but you know.

When the gang all come to the rescue, Rytsar SEES for the first time, how much growth the Wolf Pup has.  The rescue of the him by Todd, Captain and Samantha will forever change the dynamics between these characters.  All I gotta say is Captain is a bad ass!!  My respect for Samantha grew tenfold but Todd….man Todd…..WOW…..my heart……….I just………….yeah………….read it!

The reunion of Brie, Thane, Rytsar is so perfect.  The trio spends time together reassuring each other that they are all really there and together in this make shift family that they have.  I love the scenes between the three of them.  The love, mutual respect and caring is just absorbed off the pages and enters your heart full on!

The Lilly story really kicked in, some declarations from Rystar and Samantha are made, our Brie is celebrating having her two men home, her bestie with bad jokes makes a special visit annnnd Brie writes in her fantasy journal!! The only thing missing was Master Anderson and Tono to make this book 100% complete!!   Come on #GreedySub #WantsAllTheMastersAvailable

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

I have been on pins and needles waiting to find out what happens to my Rytsar Durov. The love Durov holds for Thane, Brie and moye solntse is extraordinary. With him being captured it is up to his friends and some not so friends to find and return him to Brie and Thane. I was in tears at the beginning of this and even found myself trying to hold it together during other parts.

Rytsar may be a sadist but loves with all he has and has a large heart for family and those he loves. I have to say one of the many things that happened in this book was when Rytsar was on the brink of giving up he was sent a savior to boost his energy and gave him a fighting chance. It was a stray dog that would not give up on him. This mutt gave him what he needed to hang on tell an extraction attempt was made. When the Calvary showed up Durov had mixed emotions when he saw who came. OMG what Todd had to endure was hard to see I was crushed. All I can say is that being able to see the boy he was in the first Brie books to the man he is now truly makes my heart happy.

After everything Durov suffered he has to decide if he will let his past go and move forward or continue to hold grudges. There is still the Lilly threat out there on Brie that Durov is determined to end.  The Sadist was really able to come out to play in this book and I have to say I kinda enjoyed seeing it.  My favorite was seeing Brie, Thane and Rytsar reconnecting and bringing the love they share and how much they mean to one another together.

I cannot wait for the next adventure of these wonderful individuals.
