A dominant mate, a loving submissive, and the woman who steals both their hearts.
Amelia decided a mate wasn’t in her future. However, her panther disagreed the moment he spoke. Their body came to life at Niko’s growly voice. When Miguel’s caring attention caused the same heat to build within her, she rebels against what fate has presented her.
Niko had no time for one mate, let alone two. A night at the club satisfied his needs when he needed to scratch the proverbial itch. He must let go of the stereotypes his prior pride taught him if there was any chance to accept his mates.
Miguel knew immediately that the bond between the three of them was an amazing, unique gift. His panther preened at the realization fate chose him for such a prize. He just needed to get Niko and Amelia to see and accept the connection uniting them.
Can Amelia overcome the scars from her life and accept the gift right in front of her? Can Niko soften enough to accept the gift fate presented him with? Can Miguel’s loving attention bring them all together once and for all?
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
Amelia, Niko, Miguel are a hot yummy story full of denial, love, acceptance, and full on brattiness. LOL
When we first met Amelia, she was a mess. She had been bound and set to be sold in to trafficking. She has been saved but still working on getting back to a more normal self. She has become very close to Molly who was also with her in the cages. When Molly gets lost in the jungle and Amelia also gets lost looking for her Niko and Miguel soon realize their change at happiness as a group will be lost.
Niko and Miguel had been “playing” together and both wanted more but were afraid of how they felt. Miguel knew but Niko fought it. When they both feel for Amelia, they have to confront their feelings for what the three could have.
Miguel was on board for having both. Amelia was freaked out and full of her own trauma. Niko was afraid to admit what he felt for them both. The three have a lot of work and learning to communicate. The guys also need to teach Amelia about the lifestyle they love. They need to get her motivated to want to try “things”.
There is a lot to this story between the growing love the group has, the magic being used, the bad dudes making an appearance, and of course people fighting the fates for what they love. I loved the story and how this books moves the series ARC further. But Diego is still my baby daddy….sorry guys!! LOL

Escaping reality one book at a time has been Miranda’s motto since she learned to read. As an only child raised on a dairy farm her creative imagination brought words to life. She devoured more books growing up than her little town bookmobile could handle. It was inevitable that she would turn from reading them to writing them. This is her way to help not only herself but others escape the day to day drudge. Her books may take you on a journey through time, give you a look inside a fantasy realm, or delve into the magic of almost anything paranormal. Threading in heart stopping romance and dropping an occasional super sexy scene just to keep you on your toes.
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.
You can find her most days either subbing at the local high school or tucked away in her office working on the next story with a cup of java in her hand. She loves connecting with her readers online as well as in real life so make sure to find her on Facebook and check out where she will be signing throughout the year on her website.
Miranda Lynn I have always been a voracious reader and created worlds in my head ever since I can remember. Being inspired by two of my English teachers and a high school creative writing teacher put the writing bug into my head and it slowly grew until the advice of a fellow writer hit home. I still use that same advice when talking to other aspiring writers. “Write the story you want to read”
I am a military wife, a proud mother to two amazing, now adult,sons, a fur baby lover and am excited as each new chapter in my life unfolds even with the bumps and bruises that may come with it. I love connecting with fellow authors, readers, and fans.
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
The others after it. I am horrible at keeping series bibles so I always have to go back to verify places, names, descriptions. I still make mistakes, but thanks to my amazing alpha readers usually get all of them fixed before publication.
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I like to throw in new and different characters. I also pull from the real world. Trauma’s, experiences, headline news, etc. I try to keep each book as fresh as possible while still doing the series justice.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Take a break when you need. It’s ok to cry through a scene. It’s ok to blush through them too. But most of all take time to refill that emotional cup even if it’s simply a glass of wine, a bath, and a good book.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
Not as much as I would like. This past year has been difficult for me to get into any type of routine. A lot of real life stresses have taken over my brain and the characters have been quiet. Ideally I would like to get to an hr each day as I still work a full time job on top of my writing career.
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
I hate to admit it but my favorite so far is Diego from Her Chosen Mate (book 2 in the night shift series) Working through his trauma and having to return to an identity he had buried to save his mate. He has my heart right now.
If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?
His One True Mate. I see David Boreanaz as Leo and Sandra Bullock or Julia Roberts as Kat for the main characters. I haven’t thought about the rest of the crew but now I think I need to create some pinterest boards.
What is your definition of success?
That definition changes as I grow. Loyal and dedicated fans who love my characters as much as I do is a big part of it, but as I grow my career bettering each book and gaining consistent sales is another.
Do you have anything you want to share that didn’t fit on one of these questions?
Always be open to learning and growing in your career and don’t get upset if you fail. Every failure leads closer to success.

Casey hasn’t had an easy life. On her eighteenth birthday, she learns why she’s always felt so different. She’s a shifter. Hiding behind a diner for shelter now that she’s been kicked out of the last in a long line of foster homes, she’s shocked when a man approaches her offering help.
Mack is still searching for the cub his father took in even years after her kidnapping. He had no idea he’d find his mate, and the girl he’s been searching for, Casey, when he offers to help a woman outside of a local favorite diner.
I received this book from the author for an honest review. I purchased the audio book.
The narration of the story was perfect. Brian did a great job bringing the characters to life for me!!
Shifter? CHECK
New to me Author? CHECK
Needing to read more of this series? CHECK…DOUBLE CHECK EVEN
Ok so there is no need to try and deny it. I am a shifter girl. I love paranormal and vampires are awesome but shifters….uhm…yeah…HAWT!!
So our girl Casey has had a hard life. She has bounced around and never had a home. She has one true friend, Jake, who cares for her now that she has aged outta the foster system. One night when Casey is going to visit him for some much-needed food, she gets a whiff of some strange men. Two of them scare her but one…well yeah…her gets her a little warm and fuzzy.
As Casey is dealing with some news about Mr. Tall Dark and Uberly Handsome, she is thrust into a crazy reality. She finds out that what she knows isn’t the truth and the truth is off the charts crazy!! Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome, Mack, is the Alpha’s son and he gets her girlie parts a tingling!!!
As her reality is starting to sink in, even more shifter reality is thrust in to her. She must pick a mate or her father who is not a nice man at all will come claim him for his pack. Good thing those girlie parts were already tingling and her shifter cat already claimed Mack as her mate.
The story line was different in what happens during the great war. The idea of co-mingling shifter species was also awesome. I haven’t read books with different shifters all living under one alpha before so I enjoyed a new spin on my favorite genre.
Mother to two boys, 3 four legged babies, and wife to a loving husband who doesn’t mind the extra voices in her head. Miranda grew up on a dairy farm in Illinois, but calls Portland, TN home now. She is an avid reader, coffee addict, and loves her day job working at the local public library. Though her true passion is in creating her own worlds, characters, and stories for her readers.
Being back in my small hometown for Gran’s funeral sent me into a full-blown panic attack, and at that moment, a handsome stranger swooped in, becoming my salvation. From first glance, Brian made me weak in the knees with his commanding disposition and firm yet gentle touch. He pulled me in.
I took a chance on him…and all hell broke loose. Caught in the crosshairs of a mob war, I’m kidnapped for the sole purpose of being used as collateral in a power struggle I can’t begin to comprehend. I believed he would save me though. I needed to trust Brian to get me out of there and to introduce me to the enticing world of BDSM. Now, my life is in his hands as we battle against the clock to ensure my survival.
Brian
Visiting Illinois to catch up with an old friend was an ideal weekend…made far more delectable when I saw her. Genni was a damsel in distress who awoke my Dom side with a desperate need to protect her..to care for her..to guide her into my world.
But there is evil out there I can’t shield her from, and it ensnares her in its ominous web. With my family’s background in high-stakes security, I call them in to help me track down her kidnappers. One way or another, I will get her back alive, and I will never let her go again.
*Love Letters Lost is part of Samantha A. Cole’s Suspenseful Seduction World
So good! ML did a great job, joining the SSW. Just the right amount of suspense. Brian and Genni meet in sad circumstances. Right from the beginning, they are attracted to each other. Genni has only had vanilla relationships. Brian is a Dom in the BDSM world. Love the suspenseful seduction. I have read the Trident series books. Loved seeing old friends. I really want to see a book about Jason. To see if T Carter can straighten him out. From a True Fan…Pam James

Review by WOTR Momma Julia with permission from her daughter Madi.
Smoking Hot series starter for Miranda Lynn will not disappoint! Kat has been hiding with Mack and Casey’s pack for a year, she’s safe here. Helping other pack mates heal and be productive. When Leo shows up, who is going to help her. Both have their lions locked in cages, for different reasons, but still locked up, to keep them safe, hidden. Kat is in hiding from a horrible childhood, and a bad deal, from her father. Leo is protecting a brother, who is alpha of his pack, because he really had no interest. These two learn to trust each other to become true mates. I haven’t read a paranormal story in awhile, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Looking forward to the next one!

Hey friends!! What a year!! I admit I spent a lot of time this year with rereading oldies from 2012-2014 but I did read some great new ones to share with you.
The following authors are attending authors:
AJ Renee, Monica Corwin, Miranda Lynn, Mary Martel and KL Kreig
Here are my top 5 new reads for you in no order at all.
Edward Broderick was anything but lucky.
His intuition made him suave in both business and life. Unfortunately, his debonair style went out the window when an ethereal beauty slipped into his life. No woman had made him feel like a tongue-tied fifteen-year-old before.
Free-spirited Mia Hemlock didn’t live by others’ expectations. Yet her easy life was shaken by the arrogant and awkward, yet handsome, man. Not even her earth magic could ground her heart when she became consumed by the man.
Will they accept the goddess’s love match, or will they allow misunderstandings and greed to force them apart?
Beautiful but broken.
Nothing can calm the ever raging storm inside of me. As the ruthless leader of the Doubeck family there is a certain standard of brutality I have to uphold.
To be gentle or kind is a weakness I cannot afford.
That is until the day I meet her.
Beautiful, innocent, and so very afraid.
Valentina is a rival family’s daughter, and the little temptress has purposely tangled herself in my dark web.
She seeks me out, needing my help, but the price for what she wants will be steep.
Since my father’s death I’ve needed a wife to solidify my family name and this woman has piqued my interest.
We strike a deal intertwining our futures.
I’ll put a ring on her finger, own her body, keep her safe, and kill them all.
I make a vow to protect her at all costs.
That is until her secrets come to light, and I’m left with the choice of becoming the monster she’s only ever heard rumors about.
**This is a dark forced marriage mafia romance, that ends on a cliffhanger. It contains dub-con/non-con as well as other scenes that may be triggering to some readers.**
My 4 star Romeo Juliet Mafia love story review HERE
Known as DJ among his pride, Diego Cordova moved to South America to escape his life as an assassin and torture expert for a cartel. His ability to turn off his humanity is what kept him alive through all the ugliness thrust upon him. Yet his soul is scarred from each life he took… making him feel unworthy of a mate.
How could anyone love him when they learn of all he’s done?
Kymber
Kymber Prescott knows her boss, Ricardo, is a horrible person, but she’s powerless to escape him. Even so, she‘s irresistibly drawn to DJ and refuses to let Ricardo hurt him, or his loving pride. To protect them all, she’s willing to gamble with the one thing Ricardo has yet to rip away… her life.
Tapping into the side of himself he thought he put behind him, DJ fights to free Kymber from Ricardo’s clutches. Will he get to her in time? Or will her freedom be auctioned off to the highest bidder?
Our life is marked by them. Significant milestones to the seemingly mundane. All of them have a place. A purpose. Moments and chapters stacking on each other, building scars and memories. Creating stories that are only ours to tell.
But those stamps are finite, pre-determined. And eventually our allotment runs out.
This is our story. Our collection of time stamps. The culmination of our love, our struggles, our redemption and our heartbreak. This story isn’t always easy, but it is real. A genuine account of utter devotion, where every page is crammed with pure emotion and truth and the gift of loving another person more than yourself. Share with us in our dreams, our laughter. Cry with us in our sorrows, our pain.
Take this journey through our time stamps with Laurel and I, and I will meet you at the end.
Quinton Alexander is the head of his coven, or so he thinks.
He’s the type of man who would go to any extreme to protect his loved ones, and he’s also the type of man who would do anything it took to make sure they are all happy.
He grew up in a way that taught him that the only thing that really mattered in this whole world was keeping the people you love safe—a lesson he learned at a very young age from his twisted, sadistic father.
But sometimes in a man’s life, it’s nice to know that the people you love care just as much about you as you do them. Sometimes, it’s nice to be able to put yourself first for once.
Especially when it comes to the girl of your dreams, whom you have to share with the rest of your coven.
When it comes down to it, though, who’s going to go to extremes to protect the leader of the coven when he needs it? Who’s going to keep him safe? Or is he going to have to do what he always does and look after himself?
Quinton Alexander is an Ariel Kimber Novella. It’s a part of a reverse harem series. It contains mature content and is best suited for readers 18+.
Did you THINK I would forget my Baby Daddy Review HERE
Miranda Lynn ..WOTR lifer, fun living, sweet, funny author of paranormal romance with a twist.
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
The first book as it lays the foundation for everything else you write after.
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I try to think outside of the box, like intersperses matings, crossing continental divides to help the species as a whole and challenging the characters beyond their limits.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Keep writing but remember self care is just as important as the deadline. A stressed writer is no bueno.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
Depends on the season. I average 4 to 10 hrs a week. A full time job and family that’s all I a lot at this time.
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
Diego so far. He took me into his darkness and showed me that even characters like him deserve love. He also showed me how far someone will go for that love. His darker scenes were some of my favorite to write.
If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?
I would say His One True Mate. With Matthew McConaughey as Leo and Kate Hudson as Kat.
What is your definition of success?
Writing a book that readers love and that can inspire others to follow their dreams of writing themselves. Eventually the monetary side will also be a success, but for now the above are my successes.
Known as DJ among his pride, Diego Cordova moved to South America to escape his life as an assassin and torture expert for a cartel. His ability to turn off his humanity is what kept him alive through all the ugliness thrust upon him. Yet his soul is scarred from each life he took… making him feel unworthy of a mate.
How could anyone love him when they learn of all he’s done?
Kymber
Kymber Prescott knows her boss, Ricardo, is a horrible person, but she’s powerless to escape him. Even so, she‘s irresistibly drawn to DJ and refuses to let Ricardo hurt him, or his loving pride. To protect them all, she’s willing to gamble with the one thing Ricardo has yet to rip away… her life.
Tapping into the side of himself he thought he put behind him, DJ fights to free Kymber from Ricardo’s clutches. Will he get to her in time? Or will her freedom be auctioned off to the highest bidder?
I was given this book for an honest review by the author.
DJ……MMMMM yes!!! I have been waiting for you baby!!! I wanted to know why you have such darkness in your soul. You back story did not disappoint at alllllll.
Kymber….girl you need a damn hug. When you fall for the wrong man, it makes everything terrible but, in your case, it puts your life in jeopardy.
Ricardo, dude…you are not every going to be good enough for Kymber or man enough to defeat DJ. Just saying. I guess the lessons your daddy taught you, you should have paid better attention too!!
This book had me sitting on the edge of my seat because it was so well written!! I mean DJ being able to control himself when he sees the monster Ricardo is but also keep his beast at bay….yes please….he is a great character.
Kymber has my heart in knots. I mean gahhhhh we knew why she did what she did was to protect herself and DJ but guuuurlllll give that man your heart!!
When the dramatic twist happens and Kymber is in danger, I was seriously so glad that DJs people were there to help him . He needs to find Kymber before the fates take her from him!!!
Guys this book…gah I loved it. I loved seeing DJ tell his story and I LOVED the reaction because I was even like DAYUM!!!!!!!!!!
