Damon DeMasters is a vampire warrior who has taken an oath to not only protect his own kind, but humans as well. Crimson Rush is the new drug on the streets, and it’s their duty to find who is behind the selling of vampire blood and stop it.

A social worker, Nicole Callahan, fights for the right of every child placed in her care. There’s a war now, as vampires have stepped out into the spotlight taking their place in society, and the children are at the heart of it all.

Damon and his fellow warriors have been ordered by the Vampire Council to train Nicole and her colleagues against the dangers they now face in their new world. Even as sparks fly and tensions mount, Nicole and Damon depend on each other to protect the children of both races.

Audio Book

Kindle Book

I read this book back in March 2014. Teresa has just released the audios and I am so enjoying going back and listening to them.  I could not believe how much of the minor things I forgotten over the years. I have to say I still love these warriors today as much as I did 5 years ago.

Nicole is a social worker that takes her job seriously. She is determined to keep the kids safe and it doesn’t matter if they are human or vampire.
Damon, one of the Vampire Council Warriors, was sent to train the social workers on how to protect themselves while doing their jobs. The sparks start to fly as soon as Nicole and Damon first see each other. However, Damon does not want to get involved and attached so Nicole comes up with a “friends with benefits” option.

I love that Nicole is tough and stands up to these big tough Vampires, never backing down never giving up and has no issues getting in their faces. Things start to go bad when Nicole and the others realize there are some pretty mean people out to get her because she is doing her job so well. Damon pulls the “I’m getting too close so I’ll push her away” routine and right after she lays her feelings out on the table.

I also enjoyed the close friendship almost sisterly like relationship that Nicole and Pam have. Seeing Nicole, Pam, and Jared interacting was great. Pam and Jared always made me smile or laugh. I would get aggravated with Damon he would be so sweet and nice and then go all Alpha male thinking he was protecting Nicole but only end up hurting her feelings. Here again Nicole always called him out on it and stood up to anyone she felt was doing wrong by her. I loved that she had pet turtles, Ren and Stimpy, and not the typical cat or dog. The way Nicole collects the money for the kids Christmas party was a gag.

Like i said enjoyed this book today as much as I did when I read it. I am so ready for Jared. The narrator did a wonderful job his voice changes were enough that you realized it was a different character.  I am so ready to listen to all these warriors stories and catch up on all of them.

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

Another hilarious installment from Teresa in her Robyn Peterman Universe.

I love that each book could be read as a standalone but let’s be honest, you need to read them all in order to fully get the situation and previous interactions of the characters.

This book we finally get to see a bit of Wicked’s very deeply hidden past.  We learn where she cam from and the witches she grew up with.  They are not the nicest witches when they are dark witches.

We see hottie shifter Thorne protecting his family from a threat to Wicked, Rose and Jamison’s futures…PURRR he is a yummy alpha male for sure!!

We see Bruce making epic boo boos knocking up a random cat….makes ya wonder if Bruce the man whore familiar will settle down???  DOUBTFUL but it would be fun to see.

Honestly, I just love this short novel and all the smiles it brings.  If you need a laugh or ten then this series is for you and each edition adds to the hilarity.

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion

Nicole is a social worker helping kids find the loving homes they deserve. Well after vampires have been revealed to the human world its been making her job a little extra stressful making sure that human parents aren’t getting a vampire child for the wrong reason and trying to harvest their blood to sell, or that vampire parents aren’t using human kids just for their blood to feed off of. So at the office her boss is having the vampire warrior coming in to help them all learn some defense moves to help them if they ever are in serious trouble. In walks in the ledger of the warriors Damon and all his delicious glory and he caught the eye of Nicole but she would never let anyone know that. So in the beginning of the book it took me a while to get into it, not sure if I wasn’t in a vampire mood but oh I’m so glad that i stuck with it and didn’t wait to be in the mood to read it.  This book was amazing and you will love Damon and Nicole don’t forget to put a dollar in the f-word jar and in my opinion we need justice for Ren and Stimpy.

#WOTR20 #5YearFamily #Paranormal #Vampires #Saga #KU – Bishop, The Protectors Book 15 by Teresa Gabelman

Bishop (The Protectors Series) Book #15

Witch hunter and new VC Warrior, Bishop Valentino, takes pride in his duties, both past and present. Never once has he doubted his past as a witch hunter. That changes when a beautiful, independent witch occupies his mind more than he’s comfortable with.

Helping his new brothers of the VC keep all the Dragonfly Coven safe from the diabolical warlock, Orjyll, is Bishop’s number one priority. When that priority begins to shift and his focus is pulled away, his allegiance to the brotherhood is at risk.

Saving the world is something Bishop and the Warriors tirelessly do every day. But keeping witches safe is something new for Bishop, and if they fail and the Grail women fall to what the Fates bestowed on them many years ago, Hell on Earth could come swiftly.

To lose the epic battle between good and evil is not an option. Bishop has to find balance between his oath to the brotherhood and his heart. If not, life as he knows it will change forever.

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

I finished this book and had to sit and think about how I would rate it.  I was a little confused because I never have trouble rating these books…mainly because they are all amazing IMO and that is what this blog post is about.

I have loved Bishop and the chemistry between him and Bonnie.  But in the Warrior Wedding when they kissed and the sparks were flat, I was like WTF??  What is happening??  Are we getting a new more amazing person for Bishop?  Who can be more amazing then Bonnie??? Because sweet baby Jesus she might be my favorite female in the series!!!  Her sass and fire plus ridiculous comedy….that is a win in my book.

Then we find out why the kiss was so flat and I was like GUUUUURL Bonnie you don’t mess with a Warrior that way….LOL.   But I THINK the initial set up with them was a little slower then and the building of the transition was also a bit slower….the transition reference you gotta read because I am not about to spoil anything ya’ll.  So because of that it seemed a lot slower of a book.  Teresa’s book are generally action packed from moment to moment.  I am not saying that is a bad thing but I wasn’t expecting it.

After the story picks up and we know what is going to happen, I was bucked in and READY ‘TA GO.

I loved the dynamic of Bishop and Bonnie.  The witch and the witch hunter plus I loved the memories he can give her of her mom.  That in itself is something not everyone can do or would do for her.

The final scenes of the book were intense, and I was a bit worried for a few seconds reading the book because I wondered what was going to happen.  Seeing Sloan Murphy lose his shit was kinda hawt as hell too.  Who knew???

All in all once I sat down and thought about it, I really loved the slower build of the book.  I loved seeing Daniel and learning more about his talents.  I am so damn ready for Raven and Charger to get a book.  She is a fierce Protector and she is going to make him do a whole lot of begging to get back in to her bed!!

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

WHAT!!!!  OMG THIS BOOK!!!  I am so excited for this series.  When Teresa told us she was thinking about it, I flipped my SHIT!!  I mean we fall in love with these ladies in their stories but then we don’t get to see them as much because the guys get all the action….damn Cock Club right Jill!!??  So, to SEE the ladies all banding together to help in their own way, was amazing!!

Damon and Nicole have been through so much but Nicole always wonders and get stuck in her head….maybe she isn’t enough or the right person for her strong, decapitating heads specialist Alpha warrior, Damon.

I loved seeing her return to her roots and essentially where it all began…….Damon and Nicole both are so confused because they want the best for their mate and their relationship, but the changes are starting to cause some fraying to not only their relationship but also a few others…like say My Alpha Jared.  I am about to nut punch him hardcore…what’s up!!????

I love that no matter what series or cross over series you read with the Protectors in it, the story line is FRESH and the villains are super evil.  I mean the bad guy from the Mates series is also connected to the bad guy in the main series buuuut slightly different.

If you love Teresa and her books then TRUST ME, you will need this book to add to your collection of the rest of her amazing books.

To have more Christmas fun dive into A Warrior Christmas to see which mate gets the perfect gift and which Warrior Grinch finds his holiday cheer.


Goodreads



I purchased this book.

What an amazing and fun book being dropped by Teresa.  No one knew this baby was coming and LORD was it a great holiday treat.

First up, as always, I looooove seeing all the mates and their Warriors dealing with crap but seeing as Christmas was the main drama and Sloan’s lack of Ho Ho Ho-ing made it even better.

We got to see some further world building like with the introduction of a new Warrior and possible enemy of Bishop…hrmmmmm.  We get to see Daniel and all his extra perceptions happening.  We see Raven and Tessa bonding while also backing each other up with Jared.  What I really loved was seeing Katrina and Blaze.  She is such a quiet character so seeing more of her was pretty special. Steve and Mira are working on some things but Adam and steves bond….yeah it was something special to read.

This book will be a definite read to anyone who loves the series.  So any great scenes and so many intense scenes in such a short book.

Look if you are a fan of Teresa’s then you will need to grab this one.  I love this series because its just a quick jump in and out of the town Assjacket.  If you are not a normal Teresa reader, the name of the town will give you insight to the hilarious book you will be reading.  This series is just so much fun.  You get to read more about Wicked, Thorne, the twins and of course Bruce.   But the comedy of the story is what makes the short novella worth it 110%.

The story is so short I wont let anything out but seriously grab it for a quick read full of laughs and giggles.

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

Lord knows I have been in an uproar over my Jared being a douche canoe to his mate Tessa.  I mean I have loved this man since book 1 but I was about to jump ship to #TeamCharger.  However, after reading this book, I have forgiven him and totally understand the why for his attitude and major dickness…dickness is this a word…anyway…toward Tessa.

Tessa and Jared have always seemed pretty stable but as the series has gone on, we have seen little cracks in their HEA.  I mean first when she was turned and then as she wanted to become a VC Warrior.  Like Tessa, I was like WTF JACKA$$.  But I tell ya, the woman has more patience that I do because she is a people pleaser even if it hurts her in the end.  Well this book Tessa is DONE people pleasing and going to start doing HER for HER and if Jared can’t hang welp that is on him.

Jared, the king of funny joke and sexual innuendo is not doing so well right now.  He has MAJOR skeletons flying outta the closet and he can’t slam the door fast enough. The poor guy is trying to put out fires without giving away his past but with not dealing with everything PROPERLY he is not putting out the flames but inflaming them.

There were lots of teary moment in this book.  Seeing Tessa and Jared dancing around the issues and not really facing the problems out of fear of losing the other one actually made it 100x worse for both of them. Seeing and hearing about the impending bad dudes made the fear even more real for Jared which made him even more of a mess!!

When everything comes to a head, I had tears but seeing and feeling Jared’s pain made it even worse.  Friends this book was everything we have needed to see between Jared and Tessa.  They were no longer able to hide and no longer able to dance around all the issues.

I love the main series but the Mates series you seem to get more one on one with the OG couples and that makes me so happy!!!

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

OMG this book CHANGES so much about the VC Warrior World and I loved it!!!

I have been a huge fan since I started reading the series way back when book 2 was released.  SO to see small changes in the world happen, I thought it was cool.  But this book punches a huge hole in the world, and I am stoked!!!

Viktor is pretty new to the series, so we don’t really have much of an idea about him except he is a witch hunter.  Well this book we get to know him and his brother Bishop a lot more.  We also see this heart broken vampire fall in love with a sassy human.  I mean, Lacey is hella awesome!!  She is a straight shooter and that kinda intimidates the guys at times but impresses the hell out of Jill…just say Cock right Jill??!!!

Viktor is doing everything he can to refuse these feelings he has for Lacey and she is so confused by the hot and cold but when things come together, and a miscommunication happens, he has to shut up and put up to claim his woman.

Lacey is the perfect addition to the crew.  She is a hacker by day and a caring as hell women by night.  She will give herself to help all she loves.  She loves fierce like all the other mates do.

This book we get more of the bad witch AKA Bonnie’s daddy but also some demon chick annnnnnd Dark Guardians….WHAT???  Charger has me saying HEEEEY *wink wink*.  I mean if Jared is going to keep being a jackass to me….errr….Tessa maybe I need….errrrr…she needs to walk away??  LOL

Friends this storyline is just getting better and better with each book.  I mean I am so excited and how the world has opened up because the possibilities are endless at this point!!!
