#WOTR19 #Paranormal #Review #NewSeries – Lobos by Teresa Gabelman and Victoria Danann

Teresa Gabelman is our attending author

The Three Rivers Pack has been deeply embedded in Kerrville commerce and society for generations. They own businesses and hold government offices, including that of sheriff. But the influx of retirees and well-to-do building second homes in the Hill Country has squeezed the shifters for room to run.

The only answer is relocation to a less populated locale and that will require making a deal with the pack that holds that territory. The alliance struck by the two alphas is blood seal, a political mating between the Lobos alpha’s daughter and the Three Rivers alpha’s son. It’s the perfect solution that benefits both tribes.

Except nobody asked Fleet Ryder and Dani Alvarez if they were willing. And they aren’t.

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

When one of your auto buy authors says they are writing  new series..uhm hell yes I want in on that action!!!  I mean what kind of true stalker…errr….fan am I to say no to that?

The story we are introduced to is a bit slow because we are setting up the new world.  We are learning about 2 different packs and the all the important packmates.

Fleet is the son of on alpha while Dani is the daughter of the other alpha.  Both packs have come to an agreement, but they also need a formal mating between both packs to seal the deal.  To say the unsuspecting children are happy about this is an understatement.

Fleet and his crazy crew decide to sneak to Dani’s pack lands in order for them to meet and SEE what they look like, act ike, etc get to know each other.  When the flames of fate step in they both get “that feeling” about the other they begin to wonder if maybe this marriage isn’t such a bad idea!!!

The couple take a trip away since they got busted trying to run away and see if they are compatible.  While they are away we see that Dani is being threatened and Fleet, the soon to be alpha of his pack, is not to happy with his woman being targeted.

I enjoyed the story and getting to know the new characters.  It was a bit wordy in places and overly descriptive at times but all in all I did enjoy the story and look forward to the next books.

#NewRelease #Review #Contemporary #SeriesFinale Whiskey Undone (Whiskey and Lies #3) by Carrie Ann Ryan

Two best friends follow a dangerous and seductive path in the final standalone novel of the bestselling Whiskey and Lies series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan.

Ainsley Harris has always kept a secret from her best friend. She’s stood by his side, helped him raise his daughter, and tried to keep her distance even though she’s been in love with him for years. She knows he has secrets of his own and she’s not willing to chance what they have on a possibility.

Loch Collins has hidden himself and his past from the world for good reason. Darkness always comes back to haunt those who fight against it, and he knows better than most. One night of temper, however, forces him to realize his true feelings for Ainsley—for better or worse.

But Loch’s former allies aren’t on his side anymore, and now not only is his life and the life of his daughter on the line, but Ainsley is in the crosshairs, as well. Together, two best friends must fight for each other and their small town, because Whiskey has never burned brighter. And danger, it seems, is ever lurking.

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

I am always a bottle of mixed emotions when it comes to the last book of a series.  Happy because “Yay, a new book”, sad because “Boo, it’s the end of the series,’ and as  Loch Collins and the rest of the Collins Family have been around for a while this one being the end is especially hard.

Loch is the last single man of the hunky Collins men and I believe the grumpiest and hunkiest.

Ainsley Harris has been around the Collins family for years; went to school with Loch’s sister and as adults she and Loch became besties,  she also has a little secret that she has been keeping from him for years.

Ok seriously there is something about a growly man that gets my motor running and boy does Loch get my motor running.  Loch owns a gym and security company in town, he runs his businesses and raises his daughter that is all the man does.  OMG, Ryan just wrote the perfect man pumped, awesome with kids, protective, and growly!!!! Swoooooooooooon!!!!!!!

The push and pull between these two is amazing.  Change is never easy and when it’s a change in a relationship it’s even harder.  Loch is afraid what the change will do to his daughter, not to mention no one he has ever been with has stayed and now that there has been a murder in town he’s afraid that his past has comeback to hurt his family and that means Ainsley too.

He pulls her too him because he can’t help himself when she’s around, but he pushes her away to try and keep her safe.  

Ainsley is own strong woman because if my man was so damn wishy washy I’d have to hit him with a frying pan!!!

Ryan has once again wrote a beautiful love story with heat, passion, danger and family.  No matter what the love story she writes is about one of her main themes is family has always got your back, always there when you need them, and love you for you.

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

This book is hella creepy. The short stories gave me some wigged out feelings and the poems made me stop to look around. The authors got what they were going for.

I admit when I got this anthology I was kinda like EH about reading it and then I started. Each story or poem makes you stop and think about how you handle the ”monsters in the bed” and other creepy imaging we have about fears we live with.

If you aren’t a horror fan like me, you still can appreciate the ability the authors have in giving you the creeps in just a few lines or pages!!

Brandy Slaven lives in Tennessee with her husband and two wild children. If you can’t find her typing away at her laptop, you will find her with her nose in a book at the beach or hiking at one of the state parks. Bringing her characters to life is one of her greatest accomplishments.

 

#WOTR19 #NewRelease #Review Lobos: Big Bend Wolves by Victoria Danann and Teresa Gabelman

The Three Rivers Pack has been deeply embedded in Kerrville commerce and society for generations. They own businesses and hold government offices, including that of sheriff. But the influx of retirees and well-to-do building second homes in the Hill Country has squeezed the shifters for room to run.

The only answer is relocation to a less populated locale and that will require making a deal with the pack that holds that territory. The alliance struck by the two alphas is blood seal, a political mating between the Lobos alpha’s daughter and the Three Rivers alpha’s son. It’s the perfect solution that benefits both tribes.

Except nobody asked Fleet Ryder and Dani Alvarez if they were willing. And they aren’t.

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

Teresa Gabelman comes together with Victoria Danann to bring us a new shifter story.

The Alpha of the Three Rivers pack realizes that it is time for his pack to move on, humans have moved in droves to their once little town and it’s just not safe anymore.

The Lobos pack has plenty of room, more than enough room for two packs, what they lack however is the funds to keep their pack going.  The two Alphas come to an agreement, Three Rivers will move and pay into the Lobos pack and both Alphas pledge that their children will marry the other.  

 Arranged marriages in this day and age is outrageous and Fleet, son of the Alpha from Three Rivers and Danita, the daughter of the Alpha from Lobos, are not happy that they have been thrown at the other for the sake of their packs.

Ok, this story maybe on the shorter side but Fleet and Danika’s story is awesome long or short.

The way these two know that no matter what they have to do what’s right for the packs and decide to see if they will make a good mated pair is really sweet and their friends!! Their besties all help them spend some time away from the packs and together before the mating.  

So, not only do we get one of the sweetest love stories, but let’s face it it’s shifters so it’s also HOT, we also get a little danger in the story too!!  Not everyone is so happy about this mating, even if the pair themselves were against it in the beginning.

I certainly hope we get to see more from these two lovely authors, they go together so well.

#Review #BlogTour #Excerpt – Sir’s Risen (Rise of the Dominants Book One) by Red Phoenix

Title: Sir’s Rise
Series: Rise of the Dominants #1
Author: Red Phoenix
Genre: New Adult
Release Date: November 6, 2018
Blurb

Explosive and hot!

I know her unspoken desire when she gives me that coy look before disappearing into the row of library books…

I’ve always had the natural ability to unlock a woman’s hidden desires, but my life takes a complete 180 when I’m introduced to my true calling.

In my journey to become a Master, I make it my mission to indulge my submissives, as well as challenge them.

But I’ve discovered something equally valuable in the process. Family.

When everything I’ve worked for is threatened, I am ready to fight—and I am a man who will do whatever it takes to protect what’s mine.

 

I received this book from the author for an honest review

OH MY GOODNESS!! We get to see the start of Thane, Rytsar and Anderson’s friend ship and bond. You have no idea how excited I am to read this.  We all know they have a tight bond and met in collage,  now we get more and see how it all began.

Honestly the instant bond Sir has with both Durov and Anderson.  Hearing Thane and Durov back story was heart wrenching.  When Durov introduced Thane and Anderson to BDSM it was amazing to see the way each of them were so different and immediately knew what their rolls as a Dom would be. The dynamic between Sir and Samantha as a teacher/student was interesting. I was completely heart broken when Thane’s secrets came out and seeing how each person reacted differently to it.

I absolutely loved seeing these strong Dominate men as young men finding their way in the BDSM family and becoming not only friends but brothers along the way.

A few of my favorites:

“Size doesn’t matter when you know how to use the equipment.” My eyes naturally go to his crotch, thinking he must be compensation. But then I note the sizeable bulge in his pants–quite the opposite of what I was expecting.

“When you’re ready, Davis, I’ll carry that burden with you.”

Although he doesn’t know it yet. I relate to the pain radiating from the distance. It bonds me to the Russian in ways I don’t understand.

Anderson gives me an irritated smirk. “Yuck it up. buttercup.”

“Tonight your safeword is mercy.” “Oh, that is a sexy word, Sir.” she purrs.

“You’re either a genuinely nice guy or evil to the core.” I’m not a nice guy, but I’m also not a monster.

Excerpt

From the 1st Chapter: Surprise Encounter
(The Library Scene)

I watch with interest as she gives me a flirtatious grin, adjusting her glasses before getting up and heading to the reference section of the library. She’s wearing a midline skirt that is conservative but still sways enticingly as she walks away from me.
Taking her cue, I set down my pen and leave my calculations on the table a few minutes later. I survey the other students here, noting that they all seem preoccupied and are not interested in what I am doing.
The librarian, however, stares me intently as I walk past her. I give her a slight nod, acknowledging her station, and watch with a sense of satisfaction as she blushes.
Heading deep into the reference section, I find my chestnut beauty hidden in the back. A smile spreads across her face as I approach.
As she opens her mouth to speak, I put my finger on those red lips and shake my head. There will be no words between us.
I replace my finger with my lips, pressing my mouth against hers.
Kissing her gently at first, I feel her body respond to mine, and I slip my tongue into her mouth.
She moans softly, so I pull away shaking my head. The only way this continues is if she stays totally silent.
Looking at me with those sultry eyes, she tilts her chin up, begging for another kiss.
I claim those sensual lips again while my hand begins exploring her curves. As my hand moves downward, I grasp her waist, pulling her against me so she can feel my growing excitement.
It has been a while since I’ve felt the thrill of penetration, and my cock aches in anticipation of it.
Hiking up her skirt, I push her back against the shelves, the scent of old books surrounding us as I feel between her legs. Her panties are already wet, letting me know she’d been fantasizing about this encounter ever since she sat down next to me.
Naughty girl…
I slip my hand under the thin material and struggle not to groan when I feel the slick warmth of her pussy. My body burns with desire.
Knowing time is of the essence, I slip her panties down to her knees and unzip my jeans. I pull a condom from my wallet and watch her eyes widen as I roll it down over my hard shaft.
Sliding the head of my cock against her tight opening, I take a few moments to build up the sexual tension. The sound of a low cough echoing from somewhere in the library only adds to the excitement of what we are about to do.
Looking deep into her eyes, I lift her leg to open her pussy to me and slowly push my cock into her.
She makes the barest of sounds and I immediately pull out, raising my eyebrow. Looking at me desperately, she bites her lip to show she’s serious about keeping silent.
I kiss those red lips again as I slide my shaft back into her, pushing even deeper. She trembles with need when I begin thrusting. The excitement of having sex in the college library has both our hearts racing.
The small beads of perspiration on her skin cause those sexy glasses to slip down the bridge of her nose. I take them off and carefully set them on a shelf before gripping her buttocks tight. I begin stroking her deeper while keeping eye contact as I climb toward climax.
I want her to join me and pull out slightly so I can reach down between her legs and play with her swollen clit while I continue to thrust into her with my hard cock.
Unfortunately, the cougher seems to be on the move and, by the sound of it, he’s headed straight toward us.
It seems the idea of being caught turns my chestnut beauty on, because her pupils grow wider just before I feel her pussy squeeze my shaft with her orgasm. My body instinctually responds, thrusting deeper as I follow with my own climax.
I quickly pull out, slipping my cock back into my pants, condom and all. She barely has time to pull up her panties and fix her skirt before he walks by our section.
I lean into her, kissing her passionately to hide the reason for her panting breath, then turn to give the guy a hard stare, letting him know he’s interrupted us.
He shrugs, giving me an apologetic grin before covering his mouth and wandering off amid another bout of coughing.
I look down at her and smile as I gently place the glasses back on her face. Giving her one last kiss, I signal that she should leave first. She glances back at me with that coy grin just before disappearing around the corner.

Mr. Sebastian Stanwick never intended to marry. It was bad enough that his father gambled away everything they owned and then drank himself to death, leaving his mother broken until she could not go on. But the death of his good friend at the hand of the man’s wife only solidifies Stanwick’s decision to remain a bachelor. Women were simply unpredictable and unstable if not taken care of properly.

Hélène Mirabelle wants few things in life. One, is to perform on the stage, and the other, is to be out from under the roof of her overbearing new family: Lord Bentley and the Trent brothers. Since her mother’s recent passing, Hélène’s desire to return to Milan and the stage has only grown. A husband could never fit into the plans because no decent man would take an actress as a wife.

One fateful night leaves Hélène questioning if being an actress is the only thing she wants, while Stanwick begins to wonder whether all women are truly prone to madness and if they are, he may never get Hélène off of his mind.

Lady Disguised, a novella, first appeared in anthology, A Pact Between Gentlemen, released November, 2013

Once found, she can live as she wishes, without a gentleman telling her what to do.

Mr. Jonathan Bridges owns one of the finest shipping lines in London. That is, he did until his secretary and a few employees disappeared, leaving a muddle of things. Now several crates are missing and he has no explanation for the owners. The one most persistent in demanding answers is Miss Genviève Mirabelle. As much as he tries to put her off, she is determined to help him. Heaven save him from meddling females who are better served sitting at home having tea.

Their search leads them from the docks and right into the heart of a smuggling ring. But their lives are not the only thing in danger. Their hearts hang in the balance, since neither one ever anticipated what was to come.

Book 9 -A SECOND EPILOGUE: Catch up with the Trents, meet up with old friends, and possibly meet someone new.

Dearest Reader,

You are cordially invited to the wedding of Mr. Jonathan Bridges and Miss Genviève Mirabelle. The marriage is to take place at the Church of St. George, Hanover Square, Mayfair, London, on May 1, 1815 at two in the afternoon. I am fully aware that this is not a proper or appropriate time for a wedding. However, the church has been quite busy of late, sometimes with two and three weddings scheduled a day, and neither the bride nor groom were willing to wait weeks just so they can be married before noon. Thus, they have expedited matters and obtained a Special License. This was mainly due to Mr. Bridges not willing to wait longer than necessary to make Miss Mirabelle his bride.

A wedding breakfast shall follow at the home of Lord and Lady Bentley, and a ball will be held that evening. I do hope you’ll join us for this most celebrated event. Besides the Trents, friends and acquaintances you might be familiar with will also be in attendance, but I don’t dare give their names away. That would ruin the surprise.

The Right Honorable Countess of Bentley

Book 10- The one thing Rose Trent, Dowager Countess of Bentley, has ever wanted was her freedom. Now it’s within her grasp. Or it was, until she is kidnapped on the very first holiday she’s ever taken. What should have been traumatic turns into the most adventurous time in her life, thanks to a handsome Scot named Aiden MacGregor. Unfortunately, she only has a fortnight to thoroughly enjoy herself before her stepsons show up to pay the ransom.

Laird Aiden MacGregor usually thinks through everything before taking action. After all, order is necessary to a successful business and home. But now, one rash action throws everything into disorder. He wasn’t the one who kidnapped the delightful and beautiful Lady Bentley, but he’s the one who will pay the price. Fearing the worst, he’ll spend his last days on earth making everything right with his family, securing their future, and spending every moment he can with Rose before he swings from the gallows.

With a word, or perhaps a promise, Rose might save his neck, but at what cost?

Explosive and hot! 

I know her unspoken desire when she gives me that coy look before disappearing into the row of library books…

I’ve always had the natural ability to unlock a woman’s hidden desires, but my life takes a complete 180 when I’m introduced to my true calling.

In my journey to become a Master, I make it my mission to indulge my submissives, as well as challenge them.

But I’ve discovered something equally valuable in the process. Family.

When everything I’ve worked for is threatened, I am ready to fight—and I am a man who will do whatever it takes to protect what’s mine.

 

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

When one of your favorite authors tells you they are going back to explain how your favorite character came to be…DUH of course I want to read it.  Then to know we will get to spend more time with his friends AKA Brothers from Another Mother again another DUH…..*whimper* Rytsar *gulp* Master Anderson…Holy Hell who ould any fan of hers not want to read this book.

So this book show us a young Thane.  He is introduced to the world of submission by his brother Rytsar when he recognized the same thigs about himself in Thane.

The story is so delicious and seeing my favorites, yeah I am greedy so deal with it, starting out and stumbling was great.  Seeing Young Thane being the studious young man who finds his true calling and passions with his friends was also heartwarming.  I loved seeing the bonds forming knowing what we know NOW with these characters.

Excerpt

From the 1st Chapter: Surprise Encounter
(The Library Scene)

I watch with interest as she gives me a flirtatious grin, adjusting her glasses before getting up and heading to the reference section of the library. She’s wearing a midline skirt that is conservative but still sways enticingly as she walks away from me.
Taking her cue, I set down my pen and leave my calculations on the table a few minutes later. I survey the other students here, noting that they all seem preoccupied and are not interested in what I am doing.
The librarian, however, stares me intently as I walk past her. I give her a slight nod, acknowledging her station, and watch with a sense of satisfaction as she blushes.
Heading deep into the reference section, I find my chestnut beauty hidden in the back. A smile spreads across her face as I approach.
As she opens her mouth to speak, I put my finger on those red lips and shake my head. There will be no words between us.
I replace my finger with my lips, pressing my mouth against hers.
Kissing her gently at first, I feel her body respond to mine, and I slip my tongue into her mouth.
She moans softly, so I pull away shaking my head. The only way this continues is if she stays totally silent.
Looking at me with those sultry eyes, she tilts her chin up, begging for another kiss.
I claim those sensual lips again while my hand begins exploring her curves. As my hand moves downward, I grasp her waist, pulling her against me so she can feel my growing excitement.
It has been a while since I’ve felt the thrill of penetration, and my cock aches in anticipation of it.
Hiking up her skirt, I push her back against the shelves, the scent of old books surrounding us as I feel between her legs. Her panties are already wet, letting me know she’d been fantasizing about this encounter ever since she sat down next to me.
Naughty girl…
I slip my hand under the thin material and struggle not to groan when I feel the slick warmth of her pussy. My body burns with desire.
Knowing time is of the essence, I slip her panties down to her knees and unzip my jeans.  I pull a condom from my wallet and watch her eyes widen as I roll it down over my hard shaft.
Sliding the head of my cock against her tight opening, I take a few moments to build up the sexual tension. The sound of a low cough echoing from somewhere in the library only adds to the excitement of what we are about to do.
Looking deep into her eyes, I lift her leg to open her pussy to me and slowly push my cock into her.
She makes the barest of sounds and I immediately pull out, raising my eyebrow. Looking at me desperately, she bites her lip to show she’s serious about keeping silent.
I kiss those red lips again as I slide my shaft back into her, pushing even deeper. She trembles with need when I begin thrusting. The excitement of having sex in the college library has both our hearts racing.
The small beads of perspiration on her skin cause those sexy glasses to slip down the bridge of her nose. I take them off and carefully set them on a shelf before gripping her buttocks tight. I begin stroking her deeper while keeping eye contact as I climb toward climax.
I want her to join me and pull out slightly so I can reach down between her legs and play with her swollen clit while I continue to thrust into her with my hard cock.
Unfortunately, the cougher seems to be on the move and, by the sound of it, he’s headed straight toward us.
It seems the idea of being caught turns my chestnut beauty on, because her pupils grow wider just before I feel her pussy squeeze my shaft with her orgasm. My body instinctually responds, thrusting deeper as I follow with my own climax.
I quickly pull out, slipping my cock back into my pants, condom and all. She barely has time to pull up her panties and fix her skirt before he walks by our section.
I lean into her, kissing her passionately to hide the reason for her panting breath, then turn to give the guy a hard stare, letting him know he’s interrupted us.
He shrugs, giving me an apologetic grin before covering his mouth and wandering off amid another bout of coughing.
I look down at her and smile as I gently place the glasses back on her face. Giving her one last kiss, I signal that she should leave first. She glances back at me with that coy grin just before disappearing around the corner.

Savannah is an average college student. She worked her butt off to get accepted into an exchange program to Greece getting her out of the States for the first time in her life. Little does she know that the exchange she signed up for was not quite as the brochure described.

Trapped on Mount Olympus amidst the other new Gods, Savannah learns the hard way that mythology is real and more dramatic than she could have ever imagined. And naturally, it all centers around the King of the Gods himself, Zeus, or as he likes to be called these days – Aidan.

With her heart on the line, Savannah embarks on a journey of self-discovery learning who her Goddess is and accepting that she’s really been in there all this time.

Book 2

In a world of Gods and mythologies Valentina still struggles to identify her own Goddess. Despite feeling out of place amongst others of her kind, nothing will stop her from protecting her friends from the dangers that begin to surround their new reign.

While grappling to name her inner Goddess, Valentina finds herself torn by the mysterious Griffin who leaves her frustrated and confused. She doesn’t understand the connection she feels toward him or why every time they start to get close he pulls away.

But relationships are the least of her problems when she’s kidnapped and trapped in the Underworld. Her Goddess has no choice but to awaken to help Valentina navigate her way through the doomed hallways of Hades and try to get back to Olympus before it’s too late for all the Olympians.

With a reluctant Goddess in her mind, Valentina fights to survive in a realm where death is the only outcome. Will history repeat itself or will the New Olympians write their own myths?

Book 3

Griffin has always known who his God was – the voice of self-loathing in the back of his mind. But his inability to adapt to the changing reality around him has nothing to do with accepting his God and everything to do with Hades’ place in the social stratosphere. The only thing that keeps him grounded is the beautiful Valentina, who stole his heart the first time she smiled.

But everything he has ever loved has been taken away from him and he doesn’t want Valentina to be another part of the pattern. So, he does what he thinks is the best thing to protect her. Even if it happens to be the one thing that might hurt her.

War has descended on Mount Olympus and Griffin finds himself thrust in between the Titans and Olympians. Soren, self-appointed leader of the Titans, intends to kill them all and turn Earth into his own playground of despair and destruction. As Prince of the Underworld Griffin can’t stand by and just let that happen.

He might appear to be the anti-hero but with the ever-changing political landscape of Olympus now is his chance to stand up and do the right thing. But will Hades let him? Will history repeat itself or will the New Olympians write their own myths?

Book 4

After several millennia, the Greek Gods have awoken…

Unleashed from the depths of Tartarus the souls of the Gods returned to Earth, each claiming a vessel for themselves turning the lives of the chosen mortals upside-down.

Aidan Cartwright has led a privileged life, wanting for nothing, having a perfect physique and face to go with it, his life is charmed. Then he finds out, to no great surprise, he has been chosen to bear the soul of the King of the Gods – Zeus.

“I have become the one thing I never wanted to be – my father. But now was my chance to change that, and to prove to myself I could be better.”

Caught up in a plot established over four hundred years ago Aidan has to over come his fears and insecurities, rising to be the man he’s always wanted to be but was too afraid to become.

It’s up to Aidan to save the world and the Greek Pantheon in this action-packed finale to the well-received Grace of Gods series by Kyleigh Castronaro!

FANGIRL TURNED WRITER. SLYTHERIN SHADOWHUNTER FROM DISTRICT FOUR.

I’m fairly confident that I came out of womb reading the book. I’ve always loved stories in whatever medium they come. Books, movies, television shows… It didn’t matter. I didn’t discriminate (I still don’t!). It was only a natural progression that I become a writer myself.

I’ve been telling stories for as long as I’ve been reading. Even if it was just standing in front of my family acting out dramatic retellings of my day or making up stories of my own it didn’t matter. It was only a matter of time until I branched out into being a real writer and sharing my stories with friends and strangers alike. And you know what? It’s the best job in the world.

I write dirty, sexy stories about humans & their supernatural lovers. I grew up dreaming of being a Greek Goddess, not a Princess, so I wrote a book about it. In my Grace of Gods series normal humans find out they possess the souls of Greek Gods within them. They are whisked out of their lives and brought to Mount Olympus, thrust into the new and dramatic lives of their Gods.
