Review: Irresistibly Moonbound by Cassandra Lawson 5 of 5 stars

Irresistibly Moonbound Irresistibly Moonbound by Cassandra Lawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All Will had to do was find shapeshifter witch Aspen Caligar for the King of Hell Lucifer and bring her back and as she caused many problems for his pack too he was keen to accept the assignment. However, having found her everything changes completely when he realises she is actually his mate and so cannot hand her over. Somehow he needs to persuade Lucifer that Aspen is not a threat, he needs to help her hunt down the elitist witch group that are targetting members of the community whilst persuading the stubborn witch that they belong together. Can he pull it off?

I loved this story which brought together the characters from the Hellbound series of books and it gave Will someone to be happy with. I loved the story with its different strands of the story (appeasing Lucifer, finding the cult and getting Aspen to recognise they were mates) and how they were woven together in increasingly complex patterns. Well written and very hard to put down I loved this story.

Review: The Witch's Gift by C.C. Wood 4 of 5 stars

The Witch's Gift The Witch's Gift by C.C. Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Candela's aunt Fenella is driving her mad keep trying to set her up with a very boring warlock, and so to escape the situation she goes out and meets werewolf Blake in a bar. He is the hottest man she has ever met and she decides to hook up with him and ease the pain he is feeling. Problem is can she give him up after the one night??

This was a sweet novella that had lots of passion. It was lovely to see how she resisted everything but had to face the truth of the situation in the end. I'm sure going forward there were plenty of fireworks between them. Well written and very enjoyable - it was easy to understand and relate to the characters.

** Please note this story was originally published as The Witch and the Wolf story in the A Very Werey Christmas anthology.

Review: Broken But... Mending: Books 1-3 by Dale Mayer 5 of 5 stars

Broken But... Mending: Books 1-3 Broken But... Mending: Books 1-3 by Dale Mayer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An amazing set of three books that look deeply at some issues affecting characters and how they could use love to combat those fears and in the process also find love with their partner in the workshop. Well written, easy to read and the thoughts and emotions were easy to feel. You will find yourself reading this faster and faster as you become more and more hooked on the stories and need to know what happens next.

#1 - SKIN 5*

Two people are made to work together in a therapy class - Kane is dealing with great anger after betrayal and Tania is a rape victim whois trying to deal with her fear of intimacy. Together they need to work together and try to find a solution to their problems. Tania is using a medium she can express herself in - her camera and her subject is the human body - shown via Kane's physical body. Looking through the lens of a camera, she learns to find beauty and compassion...and the strength to find wholeness...with him.

This was an incredibly moving book which put you right into their thoughts, hearts and dreams as they worked together to find answers to their problems. I found myself being pulled into their world and feeling the thoughts and emotions that they were experiencing. It was quite emotional as the story came to a finish and I was thrilled at the way it ended. If anyone deserved the kind of happiness they had in the future, it was Kane and Tania. A great story that will pull at your heartstrings.

#2 - SCARS 5*

Both Robin and Sean live but do not thrive in the world. They need to find a way to move forward even if they have to face some painful truths (or realities) to get there. They have different problems, but those problems mean that they can complement each other and help each other to go through the process.

This was a powerful story following the processes of their self-discovery and acceptance of who (and what) they are. They were able to help each other through the process and it soon became clear that love is the key to the problem - firstly love of yourself, and in the process of finding that it became clear that that had translated to love of each other too. Definitely a story to pull your heartstrings and let you feel their thought and emotions as they worked through the problems. Loved this story.

#3 - SCALES 5*

Paris believes that Justice is coming to her - she just has no idea when and so is permanently frighted and wary of everything and everyone. Weaver is waiting for Justice to be done in the case of the death of a close family member, and the process of doing that affects his ability to form close relationships or trust people. Together they are both sides of the Justice coin - can they work together to resolve their problems?

I loved this story - Paris was like a skittish animal that was terrified of anything and anyone even though she had a backbone that enabled her to function in the world by hiding everything. Weaver was a calming influence on her while she was able to challenge him on many of his behaviours and beliefs. Their friendship developed out of their need to help each other and that then turned into love. A very deep story that really makes you think. Very enjoyable and very easy to feel their thoughts and emotions.

Review: Her Dragon's Soul by Julia Mills 4 of 5 stars

Her Dragon's Soul Her Dragon's Soul by Julia Mills
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dragon Guardsman Liam Drennan just knew that Hannah Marie was his mate - from the highlights in her hair to the scent of Angel’s trumpets with their light lemony overtones that invaded hi senses. The only problem was he could sense something dark and evil was hidden within her. Could he convince everyone else and find a way to remove it from her so they would have their happy ever after?

This was a lovely story with lots of drama and excitement as events unfolded. Throughout it all, Liam kept faith in Hannah and made sure that she would be ok. A nice romantic story mixed into a dramatic story containing lots of evil at the same time. Very enjoyable even though short enough to be like a novella.

Fighting for Her Dragon Fighting for Her Dragon by Julia Mills
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emma Sinclair currently works as the jeweller at the lair, but her heritage is unknown and she long ago accepted that it would stay that way. Then she realised that she could feel the pain being experienced by "the Traitor" and he was calling to her in the language of his kin. Andrew's brothers have captured him and he is bound in silver in a cave. He knows this is exactly what he deserves after the way he has behaved in the past and only hallucinations of his long-dead parents are able to give him solace. However, he detects the scent of salt, sun and fresh air and all he can see and think of are brown eyes and a smile that acts as a balm to his tattered soul. Only the memory of this woman is both his solace and lifeline. Can they both come out of this situation or are them both lost for all time?

I loved this story which was both dramatic and emotional all at the same time. It was great to watch Andrew care much more for someone else which moved him out of his selfish and feeling sorry for himself mode. I could feel and sense all of the thoughts and emotions of the characters involved and was thrilled with the surprises at the end of this story.

Dragon Guard Series Volume 2:  #4-6 Dragon Guard Series Volume 2: #4-6 by Julia Mills
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great value collection of Dragon Guard books.

#4 For the Love of Her Dragon - 4*
Powerful White Witch Kyra St. Croix is the child of High Priestess and a human male and has lived on her own for the last 25 years as she tries to leave her destiny to fate and not her mother's meddling. However, her belief in that is stretched yo breaking point when it becomes apparent that her intended mate is actually someone who can't stand her for what she is. Dragon Guardsman Royce O'Reilly is the oldest and most respected member of the MacLendon Force. Since joining the Golden Fire Clan he has matched his brethren become fierce warriors as he works to guide the younger guardsmen as a steadying force for good. As he watches some of his brethren meet their mates he hopes to meet his own until he realises that fate has a sick sense of humour given that his mate is a five-foot two-inch bundle of powerful Earth witch called Kyra St. Croix. Can Royce move past the betrayal he feels after a witch murdered his mother and unborn sister many years ago and can Kyra move past the prejudice and rejection she can feel from Royce? Fate doesn't make mistakes and cannot be denied.

This was a sweet story which was just a little tedious during the middle as Royce struggled to get his head around his fate and how he really needed to pull himself together and get on with life. It was nice to read details about some of the other characters that had already been introduced to the series in previous books in the series (but it is not necessary to read them first to enjoy this book). Well written, easy to understand, and a good story. I now just wonder what Andrew has up his sleeve for the next book in the series.

#5 Saved By Her Dragon - 4*
Devon has a great heritage for a Guardsman - his Dad was the fiercest in history and his Mother is a healer. Anya Sloane is an orphan that has been raised by earth witches when she is abducted and then left for dead outside a hospital. After a month of trying to come out of the coma she is in, she discovers that everything she thought she knew was illusions. Can she work with Devon to find the traitor who imprisoned her and save the dragons?

Lots of drama and danger in this story of evil and betrayal all mixed into a love story between Devon and Anya. There were plenty of twists and turns in this story in the world of the dragon guards. A nice ending and yet the promise of much more to come in the next story. Well written and everything was clear and easy to feel and understand.

#6 Only for Her Dragon- 4*
Dragon Guardsman Aaron O'Brien has long regarded a single life as the only way to be. As part of that, he is very happy for his brethren who have all found mates but feels that is not the way for his life to be. However, Fate didn't get the memo and has other plans for him and his life. Dr Charlene Gallagher is intelligent, determined and very level-headed. So when something inexplicable jumps up and causes her to doubt her own judgement can Charlie find the answers to explain this all rationally? It seems that only Charlie can take the necessary leap of faith for her dragon - and if she can do that she will find the kind of love that she could only have dreamed of. Can she take that leap?

This was a charming story of how an intelligent woman was able to take the evidence of her feelings and eyes in order to have the kind of love and relationship that she could only dream of. Well told, everything was easy to read, feel and understand. A nice love story.

#1 Her Dragon To Slay - 4*
Kyndel is sassy and has got through life up to now but on a long trip home from work her destiny falls at her feet. Rayne is a fearless dragon guard commander but when he meets his mate he risks losing his cool while trying to save her from his enemies. Can someone who has come back from the dead and is now holding a knife to her neck destroy the person that the Universe made for him?

Wow - a sassy woman and a strong man - what's not to like? Kyndel was curvy and sassy, and Rayne hot and impossible to resist. The story was dramatic and it had a lot of twists and turns in the story. It was well told and I could feel all the thoughts and emotions was they journeyed through this roller-coaster to find a way to enjoy their destined life together. Very enjoyable - can't wait to read the next one now.

#2 Her Dragon's Fire - 4*
Aiden is a fierce Dragon Guardsman who has dreamed of his mate for the last 6 years and the only thing keeping him away from her is to protect her from his evil brother who would use her to hurt him. Grace is a successful lawyer who works as a defender working towards justice for those who would be forgotten. However, when she stumbles into trouble as part of a case only the man wither the amazing hazel eyes who sends her heart facing will be able to keep her safe. Aiden will do everything in his power, including his very life, to keep his mate safe. They are meant to be together even if Andrew has been one step ahead of them all of the time. No matter what he doe to them, fate will not be denied!

This was a sweet love story of him Aiden and Grace finally got together and how they beat all the odds in order to have the future together that was their fate. I loved the way the other guards did everything in order in order to support Aiden and Grace in order to stay alive and have the future together that was intended for them. Well written and beautifully told.

#3 Haunted By Her Dragon - 4*
Since her family was taken in a tragic accident years ago life has never been easy for 29-year-old Dr Samantha Malone. She then has to put her life back together again after being kidnapped. If it wasn't for the gorgeous guy who rescued her then and now seems to be protecting her from the shadows ever since too. The question is why and what does he want? Dragon Guardsman Lance knew from the moment he met her that Samantha was the one the universe had made for him, but he knew it was not the right time to claim her. Instead, he has protected her from afar waiting for that right time. He may have lived for 112 years but fate will not be denied - he has to find a way to claim his mate!!!

This was a sweet story of how the mates found each other, then grew to know each other and finally become a single unit. Well written it was an enjoyable read and certainly a good continuation from the previous book in the series as it continued a strand of the story that started in that one. Well written, easy to understand and very enjoyable.

Rocking Christmas Rocking Christmas by Cassandra Lawson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a Christmas story based around the Reckless Release band members and their partners. Xan seems to be determined to share the love with some members in society who are in need and that leads to a very unexpected conclusion and ending with some long term consequences.

A great story that helped to get into the seasonal spirit. It was such a treat to read another story about the characters that we all know and love from the series. Very enjoyable, my only problem was that it made me miss reading about them even more than I was before. Great story, well written and very easy to read and feel. Definitely helped me remember that Christmas is the time of year to think of those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

Darkling mage Dustin Graves is incredibly outnumbered as Agatha Black has created a coven of one where her soul was split between 13 bodies. The combination will mean total hell and destruction of the Universe. But Hecate, triune goddess of magic, has come up with a way to save everyone - a ritual called the Apotheosis which need five magical blades that will finally grant the darkling mage the arcane might he needs to annihilate the Eldest and Agatha Black - the problem is the price is everything he loves.

Wow - this was a really emotional story where once again we have to "trust in Dust" but he also has to take a giant leap in faith and be prepared to lose everyone he holds dear. It was so nice to finally see Harold and Dustin having a proper relationship even if there were a big decision and sacrifice that had to be made. Loved the ending even though he still has a lot of work to do after everything is completed. Well written and a great story. Easy to read, feel and understand.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seems the return of Rory's mother has not caught her a break from her enemies and they have continued the onslaught. Adjusting to having a parent is also a new thing for her and will take some adjustment to work out how things are going to work between them. Now the fellow scions (and her lovers) are becoming targets of the barons too which is going to bring things into a whole new level of complication between them all. It then becomes apparent that the Baron's latest plan for the whole community will threaten them all, their way of life, and everyone she cares about. Can Rory handle all of these complications and still keep her sanity (let alone protect those she cares about)??

Wow - this was full-on with all the plotting, setbacks and complications. I wondered how Rory managed to keep on top of everything and moving in the right direction but somehow she did. Well written and very enjoyable. It was clearly written and easy to understand. You need to have read the other books in the series in order to understand the underlying story.

Taylor Taylor by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Taylor finally gets home to Coronado when he notices his neighbour's door is open - however, he then notices a smell he recognises and he becomes plunged into multiple homicides with no meaning. Midge doesn't understand what is happening in her life. All of a sudden he home, workplace and neighbours are all in danger and yet at the same time everyone seems t be a suspect too. Taylor is the only normalcy in her life, yet he can't keep an eye on her safety all of the time.

As always with this series of books, it was suitably dramatic as another one of the honourable members of the team of SEALs had to do what they do best in order to keep someone safe. In the process it became apparent that they were both interested in each other - they just never had the right circumstances in their own lives to make the connection. Strangely it seems there is no better time than now. A well-told and very enjoyable light read.

Torque's home is feeling settled with no problems, but as he starts to relax the world around him goes mad and from a source that he is yet to understand. Can he keep his cool and handle this situation like he always does or is that a step too far? With one person close to home that is in hiding and another person from far whois waiting to strike, can he handle the punches coming from all directions and keep the Chicago Defiance family together. This is a story full of deception, bloodshed, heartache, and lies.

OMG - so many punches and surprises coming at them from all directions. I am so impressed with the strength of mind of Torque and the way he managed to pull through to handle everything that was thrown at him, plus find ways to be on top (even when the situation appeared hopeless). If I didn't already love him before, I certainly can love him now after all those things happening to him. Well written, easy to feel and understand

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gardener and sometime sleuth Doreen Montgomery (plus her cat, dog, and parrot) need to tie-up some loose ends from her previous case (especially Steve Albright - who seems to be a fixer for a local biker gang). Her one consolation is that he no longer has a gun as he dropped him into her neighbour's Gardenias although when she finds a connection to three arson cases from years ago she is warned off by Corporal Mack Moreau who is concerned for her safety. However, she is not in the habit of listening to Mack about that after all, it has always worked out fine before.

I loved this story which has the usual levels of drama, danger, intrigue and excitement. This answered a number of questions I had outstanding at the end of the previous book and so it was nice to be able to close that one off totally (as well as close a few more cold cases too). Well written and easy to understand you do not need to have read the previous books in the series and understood this book. I can't wait to find out when Doreen gets up to next.

Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides, Collection #1 Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides, Collection #1 by Tasha Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A fun collection of alien stories that perfectly set the scene for the rest of the series. A great value way to read the first three books in the series as well as understand how it all started.

#1 - Bond - 4*

Posey Quinn believes that there is more to the world than what she can see so when she goes to Stargazer to donate eggs, she is not completely surprised to learn she has been asked to make an alien fall in love with her and become an ambassador for humankind. What she never expected was how much of a hunk Bond is and how irresistible he is. Bond is on Earth to give a human female as much pleasure as she can handle while learning as much about the planet and its inhabitants as he can. He knows that if the patient has enough resources and the residents are not worthy, that he time with Posey is limited.

This was an enjoyable story that has the slow build-up to a relationship between Bond and Posey which was quite nice to experience with them (even if there was the dark background mission so that they could test the human inhabitants to see basically if they were worthy of living any longer. A sweet story that will be interesting to find out what happens next.

#2 - Rocky - 4*

Georgia Taylor dreams of becoming a police officer, but her world is in a complete tailspin when her friends and her answer an advertisement looking for egg donors and they are in fact intended brides for hunky aliens. She is determined to get back on track with her life plan, but it is not easy as Rocky is just SO gorgeous. Rocky's mission on Earth is to give his intended woman as much pleasure as she can take, and although she is clearly attracted to him, she won't give him the time of day. He has to break through and via her find the inhabitants on the planet worthy else his days of chasing Georgia will soon be at an end.

This was a story that shows that true love will not be denied as much as you are determined to ignore it. We also found out a lot more about the aims of the aliens on Earth and what could happen if things didn't go to plan. I have to say Georgia's determination was interesting at first but became a little tedious as the story went on. Easy to understand and a pleasant light read.

#3 - Magnum - 4*

Rima Bhimani is a bookworm who dreams of things in the clouds until she meets sexy alien Magnum who sets her alight if only he would stop resisting their attraction. The problem is Magnum has a dark secret. However, his need for Rima is getting harder to restrain so that he can focus on the problem at hand. How far will he go to protect the woman he loves?

This was a much more involved story in the series so far and exposed some of the issues with the alien's secret mission and the mechanism for reporting back. I loved that eventually, the truth came out and that it was teamwork plus the quick thinking of Magnum's mate Rima that saved the day and ensured that there would be a chance for them to be together. This one was full of drama and excitement plus an enhanced sense of danger. A good read that was very enjoyable.

Review: Magnum by Tasha Black 4 of 5 stars

Magnum Magnum by Tasha Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rima Bhimani is a bookworm who dreams of things in the clouds until she meets sexy alien Magnum who sets her alight if only he would stop resisting their attraction. The problem is Magnum has a dark secret. However, his need for Rima is getting harder to restrain so that he can focus on the problem at hand. How far will he go to protect the woman he loves?

This was a much more involved story in the series so far and exposed some of the issues with the alien's secret mission and the mechanism for reporting back. I loved that eventually, the truth came out and that it was teamwork plus the quick thinking of Magnum's mate Rima that saved the day and ensured that there would be a chance for them to be together.

Review: Rocky by Tasha Black 4 of 5 stars

Rocky Rocky by Tasha Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Georgia Taylor dreams of becoming a police officer, but her world is in a complete tailspin when her friends and her answer an advertisement looking for egg donors and they are in fact intended brides for hunky aliens. She is determined to get back on track with her life plan, but it is not easy as Rocky is just SO gorgeous. Rocky's mission on Earth is to give his intended woman as much pleasure as she can take, and although she is clearly attracted to him, she won't give him the time of day. He has to break through and via her find the inhabitants on the planet worthy else his days of chasing Georgia will soon be at an end.

This was a story that shows that true love will not be denied as much as you are determined to ignore it. We also found out a lot more about the aims of the aliens on Earth and what could happen if things didn't go to plan. I have to say Georgia's determination was interesting at first but became a little tedious as the story went on. Easy to understand and a pleasant light read.
