A Shifter’s Trial by Debbie Cassidy

 

4 Star

Quinn survived her alpha but now new challenges are being thrown at her. She is to be thrown into the challenge. This challenge will make or break her and the world. Will she survive?

This one confused me. It starts off right as the last book ends which is great as that ended very cliffhanger esq. We go through most of the book confused about what the hell is going on. Once I figured it out the story was interesting. It made sense to keep me hanging as she was also kept hanging on what the trials was. There were a couple of nice twists and turns that were nice, and I loved them all. I also really liked the smack down she gives all her mates. Overall, it was a good addition to the series. The only big criticism was it ends in a cliffhanger esq ending. The main story was concluded but there’s a big OMG at the end.

Book 2 Wolves of Hawthorne Cove

Amazon

The Beta Part One by Avanne Michaels

 

4 Star

Talia has the designation of beta even though her mother expected her to be an omega. She’s gone from pack to pack without finding her forever. When her mother pulls some string to get her into Devon Jackson’s pack, she knows she’s not wanted. They make it very clear she is not wanted nor needed until she is. The pack’s omega, Jasper, wants her and doesn’t want her gone like the rest of the pack does. The closer they get the more everyone realizes there is danger that might take Jasper away and that doesn’t work for Talia or the pack. When Talia is made to choose she will always put Jasper’s safety first but when things change will they find away to make it work?

I’ve been on an omegaverse kick and found this one. I hesitated to buy it as it’s a new author and not part of KU. I am so happy I did as I blew through the first book and can’t wait for the next book. There are some major abuse and rape in the book and if these bother you skip this book as it is very much front and center. I enjoyed each of the characters and the give and take Talia, Jasper, Devon, Trent, Kaleb, and Nathan. They each have their own personality and relationship with each other. I am very interested to see where the series goes. I did knock one star off as it was a cliffhanger ending and I hate those but that’s a me issue.

Book 1 The Beta

Amazon

Lord of Life by Charlene Hartnady

 

2.5 Star

Lyre relies on his gift to heal others but now that it’s gone, he’s unsure what he will do particularly since two of his sisters-in-law are pregnant. When he finds out someone is following him, he’s determined to figure out who she is and what she wants. Morgan knows all about the different creatures. When she’s betrayed by someone, she thought she could trust she will track down anyone who could help locate her. She finds Lyre who’s a victim too. Will they team up and take out a mutual enemy?

This author seems to have a plan on how her books will go and she will follow that. This may work when your books come out months/years later but doesn’t work if someone is binging your books. If they are reading each book back-to-back you will see the same trends. In addition to this issue, we also have two main characters who were cocky and it was hard to like them. Overall, we still don’t have any world building and interest in the series is waning.

Book 4 Dragons Demigods

Amazon

Perfect Storm by Elise Faber

 

4 Star

Caleb has one big regret in his life walking away from the one woman he loved. He thought he would never get a chance to say he was sorry until a little boy runs into him at the hospital. It’s been four years since he saw her last and his feelings haven’t changed but when he finds out the boy who ran into him looks like him and is the right age to be his how will he handle getting Kim’s forgiveness and becoming a dad?

I struggled with this one to start with as it falls under the trope, I am not a huge fan of the Secret Baby. Once all the secrets were out, I enjoyed the story a lot. It follows all the other Elise Faber books and the story itself was interesting. Kim was incredibly strong, and Caleb was incredibly lucky she was as forgiving as she was. They make cute kids, and it will be interesting to see them in future books and see how Caleb handles the baby time. I am looking forward to the next one.

Book 6 Life Sucks

Amazon

Love on the Lake by Helena Hunting

 

2.5 Star

Teagan has always done whatever she can to make her father happy. Now that one brother is in prison and the family had to downsize. Now she’s trying to find herself. When her dad drops on her that his girlfriend is moving in, she decides to visit her brother to have some time to think and decide what she wants out of her life. When she arrives at Pearl Lake she walks in on Aaron working on her apartment. She’s not sure about him and his reputation. The more time they spend together the more they want each other. When secrets are revealed will they be able to weather the storm?

If this book had stayed with the first half of the book it would have been a solid 4. It was a very cute book that made a drastic turn at the halfway mark and did a 180 and went very dark and was completely out of left field. The characters personality changed and made them both very unlikeable and I struggled with finishing the book.  Teagan ends up being “addicted” to her meds but the way that it was handled was wrong and I struggled with liking Aaron. Overall, not one of Helena Hunting’s better book and I will probably skip it in the future.

Book 2 Lakeside

Amazon 

Big Puck Energy by Elise Faber

 

4 Star

Axel is waiting for his chance at the big leagues. Until then he is stuck in the minors, in a small town, with not a lot to do. When he and his teammates tear up the local bar one too many times the mayor Billie Rose, decides enough is enough and takes matters into her own hands. She handcuffs him to the railing of her niece’s house. Bailey loves her ranch but is tired of struggling to make everything running. When she wakes up to a naked man handcuffed to her railing. She doesn’t have time for this but gets him out and lets him call for a ride. Thinking that will be the last of it until the next morning when he shows up again in the same state. The more time Axel spends with Bailey the more he wants to be better. He wants to give her the world but when he gets called up to the majors to work with the Gold will this change their new romance.

I absolutely adore this book. It flowed nicely. The characters were awesome. I loved Bailey's aunt and I want her to get her own story. Bailey and Axel had their own issues they're working through. It would have been a 5 star for me, but I hate cliffhanger endings. Now to wait impatiently for the next two parts so I can find out how Bailey and Axel get their happy ending.

Love You Again by Julia Kent

 

4 Star

Kylie is trying to remove her ex from her life by throwing all of his stuff into the donation bin. What she wasn’t planning was to also toss her keys with them. When she tries to rescue them, she ends up locked in. Luke lost the love of his life to an accident and has held on to her things until now. He is ready to donate them and move on with his life. What he finds is an old girlfriend stuck in the donation bin. As a cop he has the key to get her out but left it at home. After he rescues her, he’s not ready to leave her in the past. When he needs a new babysitter, and she needs a job Kylie agrees to be the babysitter until she can find something else. The more time they spend together the more they remember all the feelings they had before. Will they be able to work through their past to find their happy ending?

This was a super cute second chance romance. I liked Kylie a lot I think that she dealt with a lot growing up and to find what works for her was amazing to read.  Luke was an interesting character he very much was a grumpy single dad who is just trying to make it work. The big blow up that happened between them was expected but I liked how it resolved itself.  Can't wait for the next one it will be interesting to see where Kent takes the series

Book 2 Love You, Maine

Amazon

Little Lords by Charlene Hartnady

 

3 Star

Forge and Ava are expecting a baby and they’re not sure how that is going to work with there mixed genes. Night and Shannon find out they are expecting, and Shannon tries to reconnect with her parents but finds out that it was a mistake to try.

This is a hodgepodge of a story. It’s not really a cohesive story but more snap shots of things going on in the first two couples. It was interesting to see, and I enjoyed it. It did add to the overall picture of the relationships and shows how close the “brothers” are.

Book 3 Dragons Demigods

Amazon

Hunted for the Pack by Natalia Prim

 

 

1 Star

Ree is still trying to find her way. New bonds are being created and Cyan isn’t sure he can keep his family together. Will they figure out what is going on and be able to keep the family together.

I was bored reading this. I ended up skimming this book so many times as I was trying to keep all the POVs straight. It seemed like the book was all over the place and was trying to do too much and it got lost. This one also ends on a cliffhanger but unlike the last one I have no intention of picking up the next one as this didn’t hold my attention at all.

Book 2 Celestial Claim

Amazon

Promo Julia Kent

 

Newest book in Julia Kent's new series  Love You, Maine: Love You Again is available everywhere. Review posting sometime this weekend. The first two books can be found here and here. All of the books have been amazing and I cant wait for the next one.

Amazon

Lord of Hell by Charlene Hartnady

 

3 Star

Shannon blames herself for the death of someone while she drove drunk. No matter what her therapist says she feels she should be punished. Night is sent to bring her to hell by his father and he’s not sure she deserves to go to hell. He’s slowly falling for her but knows her time is coming.

I did not like this one as much as the last one. It was a similar plot as the last one and the back and forth between Shannon and Night just got old. It was still a good book and I enjoyed it. We still haven’t gotten the world building I wanted, and they added to me wanting more information for Night’s brother. Still enjoyed enough to continue the series.

Book 2 Dragons Demigods

Amazon

Stripteased by Stephanie Brother

 

3 Star

Emma is having the worst night ever. At a strip club for her bachelorette’s party, she finds out her fiancé is done. She moved across the county for him and now she’s out a man and a place to stay. She’s abandoned at the club by her ex’s sister, she’s rescued by the four staff members and taken home. They offer her a place to stay and a chance to get on her feet. She just has to ignore the feelings she has for the four guys and get on her feet.

This was not bad. Pretty basic story that was light and quick to read and you like all the characters. There isn’t much plot to the story as it leans more erotic then romance but what was there was enjoyable.  It flowed nicely and even though it’s part of a series it stands alone nicely. If you are looking for a quick steamy book this one works.

Book 1 Roommates

Amazon

Lord of Fire by Charlene Hartnady

 

4 Star

Ava’s brother just killed himself and she finds out he was working for her boss. The boss doesn’t care that the debt was her brother’s he expects her to fulfill the agreement. He is willing to settle for a night with her. Ava agrees to track down what went missing but instead runs. Every time she thinks she’s safe he shows up to try and capture her. When her car breaks down outside a car shop, she begs the owner, Forge, for help. As a dragon demigod Forge ignores humans and wants nothing to do with her until her boss assaults her outside his shop and disappears. Now he will figure out who the boss is and why he’s after Ava all without falling for her.

I enjoyed this story. It was new and different take on dragon shifter story. Ava has her own secrets that are revealed in the story. I loved the interplay between Forge and his “brothers”. I did want more world building and to know how the dragon demigods all came about. Overall, it was a good start to a new series.

Book 1 Dragons Demigods

Abducted for the Pack by Natalie Prim

 

2 Star

Ree is a wallflower. She usually has her head down and studying. One night she decided to attend a frat party and her life changes. She is taken by some mysterious men who aren’t what they seem. Will she be able to handle what they want from her?

This is a multi POV and partner book. There was a serious lack of consent through a lot of this book. There were also several people who I couldn’t stand in this book, and it frustrated me. There are several grammatical errors in the book as well. If I am catching it there’s a problem. Not to mention the world building was nonexistent. There are these magical beings who can come into our world but don’t live here and that is about all we are told. You learn about different pack lands but not a lot. It also ends in a cliffhanger, and I need to see how it turns out so I will read it but I wasn’t overly happy with it.

Book 1 Celestial Claim

Amazon

Blood Moon by Alicia Montgomery

 

4 stars

Cady has been taking care of the Lycan family for years. She's built walls around herself to keep though she loves safe and secure. She has a secret that could tear her life apart and she will do anything to keep those you love safe. She knew that Beta Nick was not for her even if she wants him. Nick has stayed far away from Cady as he knows she's human and he can't have her.  When their family is put in danger and they are forced together to work in close quarters will they be able to ignore the attraction?

The only reason why this book is getting a 4 star is because of Cady.  She was an amazing character and she deserved better from her love interest than what she got. She kicks butt and saves herself you're South where a lot of female characters would have let herself be rescued. Meanwhile Nick was an ass and he ends up throwing her under the bus even though it puts her at risk because he is so mad over some secret, she kept that she didn't know she technically was keeping it. The biggest issue I had with their love story was the fact that she literally goes back to him and forgives him for him being an ass there's no there's no discussion she's just like oh yeah everything's fine I love you I love you and it's like he literally said some of the most heinous things to you in the world and you are going to just forgive him OK.

Eclipse the Moon by Jessie Mihalik

 

4 Star

Kee Ildez is a hacker by trade. When her captain needs info only, she can get she will do anything to help. Her plan is to stay on the station, keep her head down, and see if anything Shakes loose. What she wasn't planning on was quiet, grumpy Valovian, Varro, following her she wants him, but he's made it clear he's not interested, since he won't leave her alone and insists on helping will they get some answers?

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the struggle between Kee and Varro. The overall story moved along nicely. We got some answers but got more to discover in future books. I am very curious to see how things resolve and I need the next book now.

Book 2 Starlight Shadow

Amazon

Librarian and the Orc by Finley Fenn

 

3 Star

Rosa works in the librarian in hopes of going to School. An Orc shows up to use the library and when he won't leave, she tries to bribe him. He shows no interest, he just wants the books. When she's asked by her lord to write a paper that shows how evil orcs are she agrees. What She finds just doesn't match with what she’s been told. Will she surrender to her dark desires with her orc?

I actually liked this one way more than the last one. The orcs aren't using her for anything. She's honest with them to a point. In the end the orcs save her and help her. I'll be giving the next one a chance .

Book 3 Orc Sworn

Fated Mates by Alicia Montgomery

 

4 stars

Alynna Chase never knew werewolves existed until working a job as a private investigator she runs into a werewolf shifter.  She discovers that her dad didn't abandon her as a child but was a faded mate to her to her mother and on the day of her birth he died in a car accident with no one the wiser to who she was. With this discovery she finds out she has a half-brother and a world of shifters who have rules and hierarchy that she will have to learn to live with. As she takes her place in Lycan society she will find that some of the rules chafe the most including one that revolves around Alex a bodyguard who works for her brother. He is off limits as he is not good enough for her personality rules it rules however when her life is in danger will he be able to stay away?

 This one actually surprised me a lot. I enjoyed the give and take between Alynna and Alex. She has to find her footing in this new society and finding out that she has a brother and that she technically shouldn't be with the guy she's in love with but finding out that they’re fated mates makes it a little bit better. Was thoroughly amused by the brother in this story because he goes all in with having this little sister who must be protected even though she is well capable of taking care of herself and can’t stand the idea of her actually having a sex life.  The only thing that I really didn't like about this story was out Alex I felt that he was so wishy wash it and just irritated the crap out of me. One-minute he’s all in with her and then the next he’s ignoring her and going out on a date with someone else and he doesn't understand why she gets so upset and wants nothing to do with him at several points in the story and it's like dude you're literally on a date with someone else what did you expect. They end up working it out and he does make it up to her at the end, but it took a while, and it was very frustrating to get to that point. Overall, it was a really good start to a new series, and I would definitely check this series out.

Rejected Wolf, Rejected Mate, Rejected Alpha by Rae Foxx

 

2 stars

 Just like with the other series by this author these 3 books you have to read all of them together to get the full story you can't read them separately there is no overarching theme through all of them but a completed story in between so you have to read all 3 of needs to get the full plot. So once again I'm reviewing them all together since you can't read them separately you can't just pick up book 2 and read that 1 and understand what's going on

 Lizzie has spent her whole life trying to get away from her pack she is omega's daughter and she wants out because she's tired of taking care of all of them. She can't leave until her 18th birthday when she shifts for the 1st time.  When she shifts for the 1st time and realizes that her biggest bully and abuser is her faded mate, she is shocked and she doesn't want anything to do with him. What follows is the pack tries to kill her and let leave her to die in the desert. Vampire stumble upon her.  They nurse her back to health and make a deal with her show them where her pack lives and they will help her get her revenge. What she doesn't realize is there keeping secrets just like everyone in her home pack with keeping secrets from her will those secrets tear them apart?

 I want to tell like this one it's an interesting promise you have a wolf with 4 vampires. It just did not work there were several things that just was kind of gross with their sex acts. There are some plot point holes that just couldn't be explained away. Ruth was supposed to be this character who was protecting her but never actually protected her to the point if she got left in the desert to die and didn't really seem to be going after her. Didn't really teach her anything to protect herself or learn about her family that had been killed by the current alpha it was a bunch of stuff that just didn't make sense. The overarching theme of the story the premise of it was interesting shifter rejected by me and rejected by meat ends up with 4 vampire mates instead who are taking on all of these horrible people who want her dad or want to meet with her because of her special special blood it was a really good idea just very poorly executed. I didn't waste any money on buying any of these books by Rae Foxx not the series or the last series I reviewed by her I got them through kindle unlimited and that is literally the only reason why I continue to read any of her books they were a nice distraction but even in my head as I'm reading them, I'm questioning things which make it less enjoyable and more frustrating.  I've read better rejected wolves’ books I've read worse I worse I've been in a kick for reading the rejected wolf I don't know why this one did not hit the mark.

Unforgivable by Leona Page

 

3 Star

Trigger Warning

Lyri has been rejected by her true mate. She was meant to be his Luna to his Alpha instead her mate's father declares her nulla venia. He also sets down the most severe punishment to set an example. She's starved and tied to a tree on the night of a full moon. Because she is the Luna other wolves are drawn to her and since she can't defend herself the worst happens. She would have died from the assault if not for Rhet, Ezra, and Thjis while nursing her back to health they fall for her and want her to be their mate will they win her over?

There were some hard parts to this story. There were also some very well written parts I wanted to beat the Alpha and his family so much. I loved seeing people stand up for Lyri for the wrongs against her. By the end of the book I felt the alpha family hadn't been punished enough for their actions but I did like how I everything, played out. Overall, I enjoyed the story and will read other books.

Cinder-Nanny by Sariah Wilson

 

2 Star

I wanted to like this, but I just couldn't get past some things. One the rich couple just takes her word on her experience. Like you're just going to leave your kid with a stranger... really. The couple Diana and Griffin have nothing in common so what draws them together? Finally, Griffin screws up big and it's instant forgiveness Nope just nope. You don't get to be a dick and then all is forgiven.

Knights Full of Magic by Angela Edgehart

 

1 star

Catryn knows her life isn't hers to decide. Princesses do as they are told. When her brother is approached by King Mythos for her hand, she knows her opinion doesn't matter. Mythos is a brute, but she will do her duty. When she arrives at his home, she wasn't expecting his mistress to be waiting or for her future husband to not want anything to do with her. When weird things start to happen will they figure out what is the cause before Mythos does something to start a war?

Just No! There is no world building. Things are thrown in as needed. The hate Mytho has for everyone is never explained. Mythos and Catryn aren't even married, and they both take lovers and neither seems to care. Which leads to no connection to the characters. Then there's the big everyone has amnesia which is mentioned in passing. This is mentioned once and never resolved. And finally, the book doesn't end well. Opting out of the rest of the series.
