Samuel Hallow is desperately in love. However, he knows his family won’t condone his relationship with his boyfriend, Henry. The brothers mate for life and neither man has had the mystical tattoo appear that binds them to the one chosen for them.

Delilah, Henry’s lifelong friend, comes to town and Samuel is consumed with unexplained lust. He and Henry both sleep with her and the tattoo appears on all three of them, marking the trio as mates for eternity. He nearly loses the others when he confesses his true nature – that he, like his six brothers, are werewolves. Although Delilah and Henry are angry and obsessed with their careers, they can’t stay out of his bed.

Can he protect his lovers from the vampires who hunt them, who want to use them to get possession of Momma Hallow’s ancient amulet? And will the Hallow Brothers stand united when they discover that Henry, the man Samuel loves, embodies an ancient evil magic, hell bent on conquering the world?

I absolutely fell in love with Samuel. He is so conflicted between who he is and how he believes everyone thinks or expects him to be. Samuel knows who he wants his mate to be but it just does not seem like the fates agree.

Samuel is a big bad alpha MMA fighter that is keeping a big secret from his family. HE is afraid of how they will react or what they will think of him if they find out about Henry. Sam goes to see Henry and finds Henry’s friend Delilah there. There is some major pull between Sam and Delilah be cannot control. Lets just say after the one night Sam, Henry and Delilah are together it all becomes clear why Sam and Henry were never mated. It’s because Sam has two mates not one.

Sam has to train for his fight but with Henry and Delilah trying to come to grips with the whole matting/warewolf thing it makes it hard to concentrate. Now Sam and his brothers have a new set of problems when vampires come into town to steal Momma Hallow amulet.

The twist this book takes had me needing more reading more. We see how Sam handles coming out to his family and the families reactions. We have so much more going on with the vampires showing up and all the havoc they create all for an amulet. Oh we get a peak at Josiah and his new mate. Eeep I cannot wait! The fates are knocking these guys out one by one. I love it and so excited to meet each of their mates.

I purchased this book.

Oh my land these MMA shifters are gaining my interest one by one. I still have not figured out out which one is my favorite but man they are all so amazing.

Micah is the second oldest of the seven, momma’s boy and a virgin. He is also the one that doesn’t fight  he has an 0-5 record, cannot see without his glasses and get debilitating migraines. He is also the guys manager. He decides to go with the guys to the club to set up some fights for his brothers when a pull like no other sets him in search  of something. He finds himself in a strip club where he sees the beautiful Eve. He scores a night with her only to find he is leaving the hotel with more tattoos than he came with.

Eve is a mess she is owned by her boss, he is a stripper and drug addict because of her boss. After her night with Micah she finds she has been tattooed one of the biggest NO NO’s by her boss and finds herself looking down the barrel of a gun. Lucky for Eva Micah comes looking for her and makes a deal to save her life by getting in the ring.

Things get crazy for a while between Micah’s blinding migraines, Eves drug addiction and Micah getting back in the ring. I love that Micah is patient with Eve but at the same time she needed to hear what Samuel and Meg had to say to her. Lets face it she was bound to have issues with the family. Especially one that is as close as they are. They want to protect Micah from the heartache that a stripper drug addict could bring Micah. Eve has never had a loving family but the Hallow’s are showing her what it really means to be a family. Eve just hopes Micah doesn’t leaver her like everyone else in her life has.

I’m becoming addicted to these Hallow boys. I cannot wait for Samuel it seems he has a big secret himself.

Cordelia has never known anything but the safety of her fathers guarded compound where she’s lived her entire life. A life that, as the alphas daughter, has always been a privileged one, albeit an incredibly sheltered one.
Until one night, life as she knows it, is flipped entirely upside down when she’s promised to another alpha in order to buy safety for her father’s pack. This doesn’t exactly sit well for Cordelia seeing as she has different plans for her life, even if she doesn’t know what those plans are just yet. Out of fear of what she doesn’t want her life to become, she does the unthinkable and tells her father the one thing he’ll never tolerate from anyone in his pack, especially not his daughter. She tells him no.
As a result, Cordelia learns just what kind of depraved man and alpha her father is and is left a broken, bleeding mess because of it.
After finding kindness and compassion from two strange men who show up at the compound and help her when she is no longer capable of helping herself, Cordelia does the only thing she thinks she can do in order to survive and not be stuck in a world of abuse and misery.
She runs.
Unfortunately for Cordelia, she doesn’t make it very far before she finds herself in trouble again and at the mercy of another male with alpha tendencies. This alpha also comes with a brother by blood and one by choice.
The problem is, Cordelia’s not so sure she could ever find a place in a pack again after everything she’s survived. She won’t have long to figure it out though because, no matter the cost, her father is determined to find her and bring her home.

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

I had to take a few minutes to let this book really sink in. Some scenes were hard to read and had me fighting mad. Ok so let me start with WOW!!! The beginning of this book tore me up. Really how cold can a family be especially a father? What Cordelia had to endure should have broken her but she is one strong woman that can pick herself up and keep going. Everyone she thought loved her or at least cared about her let her down in a BIG way. Her saving grace was the two strangers who were alpha wolves who helped her when she was at her lowest. After all she endured how could she trust these strangers. After the last blow of having a door slammed in her face she was done and going to set out on her own. She would trust no one and rely only on herself. The alphas that found her Luca and Cal knew she was theirs and was so disappointed when the realized she was not going to meet up with them like she said.

OH MY GOD lets talk about Darius because I’m all about this tormented scared soul. He is Luca and Cal’s brothers and when he realized Cordelia was special to them he had stop her when he realized she was going to run. Well he put an end to that really quick and took her when she tried to run. Yep that’s one way to stop her. His plan was to take her back to his family home and have the brothers meet up with them. I fell in love with Darius really the like/hate between Darius and Cordelia was off the charts for sure. One of my favorites was in the gas station all I can say is I loved that cane wielding grandma.

Even though I love Darius there is something about Callum that interest me but I have not got a good feel for Luca yet.  All three have strong feelings for their Cordelia and would protect her with their life. Cal and Luca want time with Cordelia like Darius had but they know they need to have patients with Cordeli and give her the space she needs right now.

Everything Cal, Luca and Darius has done up to this point to protect themselves and Cordelia is going to catch up with them. Let me tell you it is going to get ugly and messy. I suppose we will see who will stand by the brothers and Cordelia and who will betray them because oh yes there will be some traders. Callum, Luca, Darius and Cordelia will need to be on the same page to withstand what is coming their way.

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

Well we find out who got cut and I’m floored I thought he would go to the final two. We also hand on to see if one of the guys may decide to stay or go home.

There are more dates with mini dates, although I kinda felt bad for our Claire. Poor thing hardly had time to eat while trying to field all the questions. Each man is showing different sides of them trying to win over Claire or maybe the audience since they are the deciding factor.

I have to say one guy stands out to me but every once in a while I find myself questioning him. However, there is another that is coming in as a strong second. If keep having doubts about guy one I may jump ship and go with guy 2.  I would love to be able to see what the audience sees in the confessionals and when Claire is not with the guys. Maybe it would make me understand the reason why they are voting the way they are. I’m ready to find out who will make it to the final two and ultimately who the audience will pick as her perfect match.

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging instead of 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?
