From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes BRUTUS, a Paranormal Romantic Comedy that will surely cause evil vampires to kidnap the author.

Can the World’s Toughest Immortal Warrior Win the Heart of the World’s Toughest Immortal Woman?

Brutus is not your average immortal warrior. He leads the gods’ army, he’s tough as nails, and his mind is so powerful, he no longer speaks to communicate with his men. Some call him telepathic; he just calls it being a badass.

But despite the many bloody battles and hard-won victories, this is one mission he’s not so sure about. There is a plague sweeping the immortal world. Gods, vampires, incubi—no one is safe, except for those with mates, and sadly, there just aren’t enough women to go around.

To keep the gods’ army intact, ready to protect the human world, Brutus must convince a group of ancient female warriors, located deep in the Amazon jungle, to return home with him, and…well…go on dates with his men.

But when the toughest, meanest, man-hating, sexiest woman of the group catches his eye, all he can think about is conquering her heart.

WARNING: This book contains a smokin’ hot immortal warrior looking for his forever love, a randy invisible unicorn, and bad, bad, such bad language. Okay, and some sex. Fine, yes! Lots of sex! And a kitten, a bit of violence, a man who loves knitting, mannibalism, unruly deities, Mayan priests who babysit animals, a naked goddess who wears a bee bikini, leather pants (for men), a very randy ghost who’s desperate for her HEA, anecdotes about evil mermen, a BIG plot twist even the author didn’t see coming, and a ton of romancy kind of stuff.

BLURB:

“Talk or suffer the consequences.”

Ruthless warrior Grif McIntyre is known for his brutal interrogation techniques, a skill he learned much too young from a monster even more savage than him. Still, Grif’s skills with ropes, restraints, and unbearable pleasure are unrivaled. His methods merciless, but effective. Tasked with capturing and breaking a critical target in order to rescue a handful of missing females, he assumes the mission will be no different from the others that have come before.

But the female he captures is not what he expects.

Captured and chained by a beast more terrifying than any she has seen before, Nayla is certain her already difficult life has just gotten worse. The brute’s mannerisms and grunts are strange, his demands terrifying and against the traditions of her pack. Even worse is the way he handles her. As if he has the right. As if she is not tainted and unworthy. As if he believes what he is doing is punishment. In truth, the searing heat he brings to life with his rough touches, and the growing lust in his gaze, is all she has ever craved.

She would be content to suffer his torment forever, but he wants information she cannot afford to give.

Soon, it is only a question of who will break first.

TAMED, Book 4 in The Condemned Series, is an action-packed, smoking hot standalone SciFi romance about two people from different worlds who are more alike in their desires than they could ever imagine. While the hero and heroine deal with unequal power dynamics and rope play, pleasure is always the name of the game. This is a HOT read and a wild ride for those who like an edgier adventure.

Love, Camera, Action!
End Scene by Elise Faber is available now!
First came the director yelling, “Action! Next came the actual acting. Last came . . . the end scene.Or at least, that was what I liked to call my job as a publicist to Hollywood’s elite. If my client hit it big, I was the one who’d made that possible. And while being on call twenty-four seven meant I was chronically single, I was fine with that. I’d been in a serious relationship once and had ultimately discovered that I wasn’t cut out for commitment or being tied down or living in a small town.I needed lights and excitement, paparazzi and enough traffic that the air always smelled faintly of exhaust.I definitely didn’t need one Aaron Weaver—my ex-boyfriend and current occupant of my former home and very, very small town in Utah—tying me down or making me feel like the world’s biggest jerk, just because I wanted my life to be something more than open fields and cow patties. But then I had to leave L.A. and go home to my father, to my small town . . . to Aaron. And I discovered there might be much more to him than I’d ever expected. In fact, I discovered that I might have missed out on the best end scene of my life by letting him go at all.

Bite Me by Shelly Laurenston

 Bite Me (The Pride Series Book 9) by [Shelly Laurenston]

5 Stars

Honey badger Livy Kowalski doesn’t have patience for idiots.  As a photographer she always has a camera in front of her until her father’s funeral. Since the funeral she’s lost her muse and then she has to deal with her family.  When Vic asks her to break into an apartment again, she agrees and discovers a secret that will bring the shifter world to their knees.

I loved this story so much.  There was one scene where Livy is jousting shifter cats to work off her aggression and Vic was livid, but he dealt with it.  It was one of the funniest scenes I’ve read or listened too in a while.  I loved seeing how the honey badgers found out where their man was and got to him.  It was hilarious how much the other shifters feared the collection of honey badgers.  One of the best books I’ve read by Shelly Laurenston.

Audio Book

Charlotte Kane is the best narrator ever.

Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston

 Wolf with Benefits (The Pride Series Book 8) by [Shelly Laurenston]

3.5 Stars

Toni Jean-Louis Parker is the eldest sister to a family full of prodigal jackals.  She has spent her life making sure they are cared for and get what they need.  When she takes a job working for a family friend negotiating a contract for the hockey team to play against Russian bears.  Ricky Lee Reed thinks hanging around Toni the fun will come to him and it does.  They are both up for a no strings affair until things take a turn to the more serious.  Toni’s family is threatened, and Ricky’s employer is hired to keep the kids safe.  However, when one is kidnapped by someone close, they will tear the world apart looking for him.

This book had a good idea and for the most part a good story, but it does seem a little slow in the middle.  There were times I wanted it to hurry up and get to the point already.  I liked Ricky a lot, but Toni frustrated me some of the times with her whining.  Ricky helps level that out and by the end she is better.  I liked seeing the old characters come into play and the introduction of new characters.  It was still worth reading just a bit slow to get to the point.

Audio Book

Charlotte Kane did an amazing job on the story.  She gets 5 stars from me for her job giving each character a voice.

The Wedding Date Disaster by Avery Flynn

The Wedding Date Disaster

4 Stars

Hadley needed a wing-man to go home with her to her sister’s wedding.  She needed a buffer from the cut-throat games her family will force her to play.  Her wing-man was supposed to be her BFF Web.  However, the man off the plane is his evil twin Will.  Will has never liked Hadley and is determined to prove Hadley is money hungry woman only out interested in Web because of the zeros in his bank account.  Instead he finds a woman who doesn’t match with his views.  Will needs to figure out which is the real Hadley before it’s too late.

I really liked this story.  It has some of the same characters that are in some other series Avery Flynn has written.  The pacing in the story is spot on.  There aren’t any lags and it runs pretty smooth from beginning to the end.  I enjoyed Will getting his comeuppance at the end.  I also loved that you get an epilogue at the end so you see where the characters are going to be in the future.  Here’s hoping there will be more books with some of these characters.

Booked for Murder by R.J. Blain

 Booked for Murder (Vigilante Magical Librarians Book 1)

2.5 Stars

Janette signed a life contract with Bradley to be his bodyguard/driver.  After a debilitating car accident, she goes on the run in violation of her life contract.  She starts over as a librarian.  When her new life comes crashing down around her with the assassination of a senator outside the library her old life comes back with a bang.  Bradley is investigating the assassination of elected officials when he finds his long lost bodyguard.  They will need to work together to find out who the killer is.

This book was literally an introduction to the characters and the mystery and absolutely nothing else.  Going to break this down by issues.

Mystery: There was no suspects.  The killer was introduced before the book started.  Janette came in after the murder had already happened.  The killer doesn’t make another appearance until the very end of the book.  Literally there is just talk about the assassinations but no progress in the mystery at all by the end.

Romance: There isn’t any.  The book alludes to Janette being in love with Bradley but not able to be with him because of her job until they reconnect several years later.  Then all of a sudden, they are engaged to protect Janette if a bill is passed that would put her in the military.  You don’t have to have sex scenes to write a good story, but I would like to have some kind of wooing.

World Building: Nonexistent.  There doesn’t have to be a massive dump but some idea of how things will work in this world would be nice.  What makes people be Adept.  Is it genetic or an anomaly?  How does testing and Life Contracts work?  Are there protections in place for people after testing?  Nothing is really explained. 

The next book isn’t even scheduled to come out yet.  The next one is said to be coming out end of 2021 or beginning of 2022.  There is also supposed to be five in the series so if I have to wait for it to conclude it will be a while to see where the series is actually going.  Why would I invest more time and energy in this series?  It is getting to the point that I am not reviewing R.J. Blains books positively.  Not every book is for everyone, but I should have more books be positive than negative and not feel like I’m struggling through the book.  This book took days to finish because I was so bored with the story that I kept putting it down to do something else.  This does not make for a good book.  Read at your own risk.
