Freed by her Dragon by Ginna Moran

 








2 Stars

Nova is trying to find her footing with her new mates and her new reality. Nova and her mates need to figure out how to clear her name and stay together.

This book was all over the place and Nova gets a couple new mates. I didn't skin and there were a couple of times I reread passages because I was confused. I did not finish the Series.

Cap by Elise Faber













3 Star
Josh is a professional hockey player and is used to people liking him. He's not used to the snark he gets from Jess. She works for the Gold filming all the games. When they first met he puts his foot in it and ticks her off. Now three years later he still wants her but can't seem to get through her walls. Once her secrets are revealed will they get their HEA. 

I wanted to like this book more than I did. I didn't like Jess at all. Her trauma is alluded to but isn't revealed until way late in the book. This led me to not like her at all. She was a massive dick to Josh thru most of the book and doesn't really do anything to redeem herself. I enjoyed Josh and all the secondary characters. Overall, not my favorite Elise Faber book.

Protector by Anna Hackett

 













5 Star
Ballerina Saskia is kidnapped off the street and taken to California. She's able to get a call off to her friend Cam to come and save her. Cam and the rest of Norcross are able to track her down and save her. Now they just need to track down the billionaire who thought he could steal women for his pleasure. Cam may not be ready to move on from his deployment but he's determined to keep Saskia safe. Will he be able to ignore the attraction?


I loved Cam and Saskia's story. Every time Saskia is kidnapped She's able to save herself, Best scene for me was when she was first taken Norcross group comes in to save her and she's climbing down the side of the house. The struggles Cam was dealing with, were heart breaking. I loved how Saskia is able to get under Cam's defenses Hackett also sets up her new series with Saskia's brother and that one looks so good and I can't wait for it to come out.

Big Bad Beast by Grace Goodwin

 








2.5/3 Star

Maxus is on Earth to find his mate. To stay busy he enters an underground fight club. He's trying to pass as human and keep people from finding out about his modifications. With his latest fight he finds his mate Vivian, She's his everything but he doesn't know how to tell her what he is. When the Nexus find him will he be able to protect her?

I wanted to love this book but there a couple of big issues I have. One being Maxus is an Atlan who’s supposed to be massive. People have seen Atlans before and they don't realize he is one. It was also insta love and that bothered me as there was no real connection between Vivian and Maxus which led the ending to be rushed. Overall, not my favorite book.

Mansplainer by Avery Flynn

 













4 Star
The last remaining single Beckett cousin's determined to win the last present from grandma. Nash just has to make it to Christmas without falling in love.

Chelle and Wash plan on a short term marriage but will the be able to stick with their own terms?

This was not one of my favorite Flynn book. The writing was good I just struggled to connect with Nash. I did love what the present was and how everything worked out. I really wanted to see lash have to do the dates like his cousins had to do. Overall, a good addition to the series

Destined to Hide by Sterling Thomas

 








2 Star

Olivia is on the run from her abusive fiancé. She ends up crashing her car into a tree and is rescued by wolf Shifter Gage. He calls his pack mates Dylon and Knox to help as she is their fated mate. They will have to work through her walls to win her over.

If it weren't for the insta love and pretty much ignoring the fact that Olivia literally just got out of a bad relationship I might have enjoyed this book. They rescue her and start up right away. No time for her to decompress or move on from an abusive relationship. The ending was also pretty standard and expected.

Duchess and the Orc by Finley Fenn

 











3 Star

Maria is desperate to escape her husband. She thought he was wonderful but instead found out he was using her. When he took her inheritance, she had enough and decided on revenge on her husband hates orcs so she will find one who will get her pregnant and she will show all her husband's alias he's been cockold. Then she will walk away.

I understand where Maria is coming from but holy hell, you're just going to walk away from your own kid to own your husband. She does change her mind, but I never really got passed this. That and her orc was a dick. Why do I keep reading these books hoping they get better.

Good Girl by Sam Hall

 











2 stars

Cyn has been raised in a society where certain women need to be taken care of by their men. Omega’s must attend soirees to find their alphas. When they are not attending them, they are training to be stronger. Cyn hates all of this. She wants to live her best life and not be ruled by anyone. When she meets a group of men will she find a way to live her best life?

I wanted to like this book but didn’t. Cyn was used and abused by those who are supposed to take care of her, and they never really make it up. I also felt there needed to be more background. I ended up skimming to see if it got better and got to the end and it never got better. I’ll skip anything else.

Demon's Path by Domino Savage

 








4 Star

Cleo and her group must travel through the realms to one final battle to prove she's chosen. There are many obstacles in their way, and they will need to work through. To help Cleo grow and become all powerful Sam will do anything even if it kills him. Will they be able to get through the next challenge?

I enjoyed this one a lot. There is a lot of movement on the guest. One thing that got old was the are

they together or aren't they with Cleo and Sam. He doesn't want her with someone else but keeps

pushing her to screw others then getting mad about it. The book ends with more to come but the main plots ending nicely.

Summerland Complete Collection by Kathryn Moon

 








3 stars

Lucy had been excited about her honeymoon until her fiancé left her at the altar. She didn’t want to give up her trip, so she goes by herself. She ends up in a strange town with strange people who she likes. Lucy begins to fall for different men in town and she’s not sure it’s ok. When she finds out the town’s secret will she stay?

This was an interesting take on gods and mortals. Biggest issue was no world building and it ends with so many questions. Moon said she’s going to do more but none so far. Lucy getting a new guy every time she turned around got old. All in between each of the shorts it was a good story but needed some work.

The Heiress and the Orc by Finley Fenn

 








2.5 star

Ella thought she was marrying a good man but instead he steals all her money and ignores her

When she's had enough, she plans to embarrass him any way she can. She decides to have an

orc baby. She agrees with the orcs deal and sets her plan in motion. What happens when she falls for her orc, and she doesn't want to leave?

This is just like book 1 and 2. They know who she is and why she's there and are using her for their own end. I did like the ending and how Ella's husband got what was coming to him. I'll try the next but if

it's like this one I am going to pass

Untamed Delights by Suzanne Wright

 











3 Star

Mila knew who her mate was but would never have him. When she meets Dominic, she’s attracted to him and wants him. He's a major playboy per his reputation and she's not interested. He wears her down and they start forming a bond when her life is put in danger. Will they figure out who is behind the threat before it's too late?

I wanted to like this more than I did. It was the first in this series for not true mates to get together Mila knows and interacts with her true mate, but they don't have the mating urge oft talked about. It was confusing why this was pushed in all other books but was ignored in this book. Suzann Wright does do a nice wrap up at the end. Overall, I enjoyed the series.

Caged by Her Dragons by Ginna Moran

 











2 Star

Nova is thrust into a world she didn’t know existed and thrown into magical prison for a crime she didn’t commit. Now she is left to navigate a world she doesn’t know or understand and feeling incredibly angry that she’s in prison. Will she find a way out and an understanding of this new world?

I liked the other series, so I wanted to give this one a chance but this one angered me so much. She repeatedly told them the truth and they refused to believe her. They threw her in prison with a bunch of supernaturals she knows nothing about nor how to protect herself from them. She’s thrown in with no way out and her not knowing anything about supernatural beings and her jailers decide to sex her up. It just rubbed me the wrong way and made the book less enjoyable for me. Was the writing there, yes. Will I eventually read the next one, yes? Just kind of disappointed with this one.

The Demon's Pet by Domino Savage

 











4 Star

Cloe has lived a very sheltered life in her shapeshifter community. She hates the roles the community expect of her. When she goes against the expectation the community leaders call in an angel to cast judgement. Instead of killing her like they expected the angel offers her a chance to visit the other realms as his pet. She agrees without knowing what is out there but she figures it has to be better then what she's lived with. In their journey through the other realms trouble arises will she survive?

I enjoyed this book. It has some really good world building. It is an interesting take on the different paranormal entities. We have vampires, shifters, angels, and demons. They all of their own realms and only certain groups can cross. The story was a bit slow to get started and Cloe was TSTL at times but it all worked out well and I enjoyed it. It didn't end on a cliffhanger but it does lead into the next book and it will be interesting to see where it all goes.

Friendship Pact by Jill Shalvis

 












4 Star

Tae Holmes never met her dad. Her mother April always said he died serving overseas in the military. At a work event Tae is stopped by a stranger and talks about her dad as if he is still alive. She doesn’t want to upset her mom thinking she couldn’t know that her dad was still alive. When she runs into her former friend Riggs, she asks him to help. Will she be able to handle the truth?

I enjoyed this one a lot. The person I felt the most for was Riggs. He was put in a position of a no-win situation, and he runs with it. I hated April. I am sure some people will say she was young and was trying to do what was best for Tae, but I just couldn’t get past the lies she told her daughter. I don’t know if Shalvis was planning on people feeling sympathy for April, but I never got there. I felt bad for everyone else in the story and loved the writing.

Wild Hunger by Suzanne Wright

 











3 Star

Half shifter Frankie was surprised to receive an email from someone claiming to be her aunt. She finds out a dark secret her grandparents had kept from her. Her father allegedly killed his mate and then himself. They kept her from his family but her paternal grandma was dying and wanted to see her, Frankie doesn't remember the part of her past, but she's interested in meeting them. Trick is interested in her helping her remember and claiming her. Will she figure out what happened to her parents?

I liked Trick and Frankie but felt like I needed more in the end with those who were responsible for her parents’ death. Plus, her grandparents really Suck and never really make up for it. It fit in with the rest of the series and worked.

Coven’s Captive by Ophelia Bell

 








2 Star

Khell was just working his job when he was kidnapped. He is told he will be let go once the coven gets what they need but he doesn’t know if he wants to help them. They don’t care as they will do what they want, and he just needs to deal. Will he get what he wants?

This is straight up erotica. Normally Bell’s books have additional plot with her sex, but this wasn’t the case with this book. Khell is kidnapped and used for sex and that’s it. If that is what you’re looking for it has Bell’s style and writing which is good. There’s just nothing else to it.

Beguiled by Darynda Jones


 










3.5 Star

Defiance is trying to figure out what it means to be a witch while fending off advances from one neighbor and another trying to sell her house out from under her. She decides she needs to figure out who killed her grandma, teach her BFF how to use her magic, and figure out her relationship with the shapeshifter in the basement.

This series started off so well, but it is very frustrating that the characters act like teenagers. They also seem too miraculously find some new magic to solve the problem in this book. Defiance also frustrated me so much. She had too many too stupid to live moments. I am going to give the series one more chance before I quit.

Audio: 5 star I loved Traci Odom narrating this book. She did a good job giving each character their own voice.

Fierce Obsessions by Suzanne Wright

 











3 Star

When Riley agreed to stay with the Phoenix Pack She didn't plan on forever. She may have left her flock several years ago, but she planned to go home eventually. Head Enforcer Tao may have given doesn't want to see her go. When she's invited back to her flock for a surprise party for her uncles, he's not letting her go alone. When people are attacked it brings back the suspicions from before that Riley is involved. Will they figure out who’s been doing the Shooting before it's too late?

I think Riley is my favorite. It was interesting to see them away from the pack and a different kind of shifter. I loved how Riley and Tao were with the kids. The only big issue I had was at the end there was no follow up with the flock.

Happily Never After by Lauren Landish

 











3 Star

 Lance is the most eligible bachelor. He’s what everyone wants but he only wants Charlotte. Charlotte figures it he is Mr. Right Now and not her HEA. Will he be able to convince her that he’s all in?

This was way more interesting than the first two. I liked Lance and Charlotte. I did want them to workout. Charlotte’s family really sucked, and they never really get what is coming to them. This one doesn’t make up for the rest of the series being so slow. If I hadn’t paid for them, I would not have read the series.

Anubis has been lost forever. He’s finally been found but still can’t go home as he is still missing apart of himself. He asks Tahirah for help locating his missing piece. She thinks she’s just helping another rich man who knows nothing and is surprised when he’s not. Will they discover Anubis’ missing part?

I loved seeing Anubis and Tahirah’s relationship develop. I very much want Anubis and Tahirah to take her nephew away as her sister never redeems herself. This wasn’t my favorite in the series, but it was good. It fit within the rest of the series. I’m hoping there are more books in the series.

3 Star

Volunteer at a lone shifter shelter Makeena has dedicated her life to helping others. When a teen shows up that is related to Ryan, enforcer for the Phoenix Pack, she's not sure if he will work as guardian. However, she has few options. When they meet there is an instant connection. They are taking it slow for his cousin when there is a threat to the shelter. Will the Phoenix Pack save the shelter?

I enjoyed this one. Makeena and Ryan actually knew they were mates so that was different. She refused for so long until accepting. I loved Seeing them all come together to solve the problems at the shelter. Good addition to the series

Bewitched by Darynda Jones

 









3.5 Star

Defiance has woken from a six-month coma after overusing her magic and shocking secret being revealed. There are more secrets to come and more evil needing to be vanquished with her friends and family.

There’s not a lot of growth from the last book through this book. The back and forth between Defiance and her BFF made them seem a lot younger than they are. Overall, I liked the first but not so much this one. Still good enough to read the next one but slowly losing interest.

Mark of Stars by Tessa Hale

 











2 Star

Everything has changed for Rowan. She's found out she’s adopted and is a shifter. She has 5 mates to take care of her since her parents have walked away. 3 of her 5 mates are all in with taking care of her Anson, Lucas, and Keene will do anything for her. Holden is keeping things from her, and Vaughn helps and hurts her all the time. They will need to come together to keep everyone safe.

The relationships are all surface no substance. The plot also repeats a lot. Rowan gets hurt, the guys come to her rescue, and she wallows in her teen angst. There are also a lot of too stupid to live moments. Rowan's in danger because of who her bio dad is but bio mom refuses to tell her anything. Her gifts are special, so Mason (Alpha) tells the entire pack. Also ends on a cliffhanger. Skip this series.

Not so Prince Charming by Lauren Landish

 












2 Star

Gabriel seems like the boy next door, but he has secrets and an ulterior motive. Will Gabe redeem himself to Izzy when she discovers all of his secrets?

How did Gabe and Izzy end up together. He literally lies to her from the beginning and never really redeems himself. This book was also very much like the first one, slow and no world building leading me to skim portions of it. If I hadn’t bought them, I wouldn’t have continued reading them.

Dark Instincts by Suzanne Wright

 











3 Star

Roni may stay wolf more than woman but when her pack needs her. She's attracted to pack enforcer Marcus, but she doesn't want to want him. When they are forced to work together to track down the people behind a shifter fighting website will they be able to ignore their attraction? Will Marcus be able to break through Roni's defenses?

I liked Roni and Marcus most of the other characters not so much. Nick's the older brother and knows what happens when you ignore mating but actively tries to keep these two apart. Day of their ceremony Nick gets him so drunk their night is ruined. Basically, told what do you were there to it's his baby sister.' Have some respect for her that's what I expect. Don't get me started on their mom Cathy who I would have booted from my life years ago. Ultimately good book but hate all the Secondary characters.

Sexy brooding captain Anton is known as Father Anton. After meeting the woman, he would love to spend the rest of his life with he’s decided to remain celibate. He knows he can’t be with Mia as she is the wife of a teammate. What he doesn’t know is Mia is separated from her douche of a husband and trying to make enough money to afford a divorce.

When he finds out about all she’s going through he offers to help no strings attached. Will she be able to keep from falling for him?

I loved these two. They both have struggles they are working through, and they were able to come together and find their happy. It wasn’t easy getting their happy which made it all the better when they got there. There are some heavy topics talked about in the book, but they were handled with care. I laughed and cried while reading this book which to me makes this an awesome read. I finished and wanted the next one so definitely worth a read.
