Deathly Desires by R O’Leary



4 Stars

For months the wolf has watched his mate from afar. He's finally ready to make his move... that is, if a tiny witch doesn't derail his plans.

A wolf only gets one mate, and Bennett's monster chose the minute he laid eyes on Iris. The smiling ghoul is fierce and beautiful... and way out of his league. That's not going to stop him from getting the girl--assuming he can ever get his foot out of his mouth and actually ask her out.

His wolf is ready to seal the deal, but Bennett's past has other plans. He made a deal to save a life and it's time to pay up... it just never occurred to him that the price might include babysitting a preteen witch. How the hell is he supposed to keep a kid alive when he can't even stop a potted plant from dying?

Iris has had very little time for anything in her life but work. She certainly doesn't have the time to lust after a wolf... but for him, she might just be willing to make an exception. Tattooed and all kinds of sexy, the scarred wolf is exactly the kind of monster she needs in her life--and her bed.

When Bennett ends up on her doorstep saddled with a tiny witch, Iris has no choice but to offer her help. She might be a ghoul with teeth like a shark, but she's not a monster.

Besides, helping the wolf means keeping him close... very close. And with nowhere to hide, how long before they can't help but give in to the wolf's desire?

I loved the give and take between Iris and Bennett. I was curious how a Ghoul would work as the FMC but she was such a sweetheart and was amazing with the witchling Bennett was put in charge of. They work on figuring out more of the mystery that had been affecting all those they love and end up falling in love which was fun to watch. I loved the witchling and how Bennett was with her and hope she gets to stay with them as family because her backstory hurts my heart.

Bound by Elise Faber



4 Stars

She’s innocent…

And I’m the one who’s going to corrupt her.

I’m a hockey player with a secret—one so big that it can get me kicked out of the league.

I’ve spent years trying to bury it and there’s only one person who’s found me out.

Claire.

Former intern. Current jack-of-all-trades for the Baltimore Breakers.

And the woman I want more than anything else.

More than hockey. More than breathing.

Even more than keeping that secret.

But she’s seen behind the veil…

And, rightfully, wants absolutely nothing to do with me.

Unfortunately for her, I’m going to keep her anyway.

I loved Claire and Jackson so much. It was such a good read, and the twist at the end hurt my heart, but I get it, but Smitty is my favorite. I loved the slow build up and the push and pull between them. They actually communicated really well and it was nice to see that in the book.

Howling Devotion by R O’Leary



4 Stars

Desperate for a shot at claiming his mate, Beau will do anything to get the stubborn owl to give him a chance...even if he has to hijack her investigation.

Alice has always prided herself on being an asset to her shifter clan — that is, until she messed up so badly her Alpha won't even look her in the eye. Confidence shaken and desperate to redeem herself, she has no time for the handsome wolf dogging her steps--even if he is claiming to be her soulmate.

When a mysterious monster starts making trouble in Las Vegas, Alice leaps at the opportunity to prove she is more than just a scatterbrained librarian. A little time away to wallow in self-pity, hunt down a monster, and maybe get a nice tan is exactly what she needs... unless a certain wolf has other plans.

For months, Beau has chased his fiery mate. She's stubborn, smart, and... nothing like he expected. But from the second his wolf laid eyes on the stubborn owl shifter, he's known she was meant to be his. Frustrated but determined, Beau will do whatever it takes to win her over — even if he has to follow her across the country to do it.

A wolf only gets one mate and he'll be damned if he lets her get away.

Alice isn't sure how much longer she can resist his bad-boy charm... or if she even wants to. Enduring the wolf's fierce devotion might just be more than she bargained for.

Poor Beau having to chase his mate to find his happy. Such a fun read and sort of spoiler so be warned. I loved that Alice has to save Beau from the bad guy. Loved the build up with them and how it all comes together. We get more of the overarching story but our couple get their HEA.
