Savage Urges by Suzanne Wright

 

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

Book 5 Phoenix Pack

Amazon

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.

Book 2 Betwixt and Between

Amazon

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.

Book 2 Dirty Fairy Tales

Amazon

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.

Book 4 Phoenix Pack

Amazon

Anton by Brenda Rothert

 

4 Star

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. He finds out when he shows up at the bar, she’s working at he’s very confused since he and his teammates make millions so why is she bartending? 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.
