The Omega's Safe Haven by Mandy Rosko
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alpha Sean and Beta Markus have been rescuing Omegas from facilities that sell them to not always nice futures and have been working with matchmaker Gerri Wilder to find them their fated mates. Gerri has decided that they deserve the reward of the Omega to complete their triad and so calls Sean to say she has found her but he is so distracted that he falls off a ladder and hits his head. So when Omega Tara arrives she is met with an amnesiac Alpha who has no idea who he is or that she is meant to be his. Tara has heard rumours that this particular Alpha makes Omegas disappear if they displease him and so is very skittish and fearful. Sean is nothing like that and through his amnesia thinks he is a servant in the house. Tara doesn't dare tell him the truth and then his lover and Beta returns from a business trip which triggers Sean's memory to return. Will Tara’s deception ruin her chances at the safe haven she’s always dreamed of?

I really enjoyed this story with the frightened Tara, the confused Sean and the angry Markus. They really did not have the best start to their future and it introduced me to a different storyline with the abuse of Omegas and the lifeline that the guys and Gerri obviously have in order to reduce them. Easy to read and understand. Contains sexually explicit content.

Wolf on the High Sea by Renee Hewett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Bear shifter Gia Worth has been working in Idlewyld as a property caretaker while also saving to open a bed and breakfast someday. Her boss suddenly gives her a paid vacation on a cruise ship but she quickly realises it is not as it appears when she discovers it is organised by Gerri Wilder from the Paranormal Dating Agency. Wolf shifter Brett Cowans is three years after his divorce (from a non-mate) and has a pleasant life running a bakery with his brother and has no intention to go on a cruise, but his brother and Gerri plot against him to get him there. The moment Gia and Brett meet they know they are fated mates but they are in trouble as they realise that they have ties to warring criminal organisations. Then they discover one more obstacle.

I enjoyed this story with the complication of their past and present alignment as well as an ex-wife who thinks she can still interfere. I enjoyed their way of battling the illogical thoughts of one person with logic which just tied up the other person in ways that could not be denied. Easy to read and understand. I was definitely rooting for Gia and Brett!

Percy by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A friend and former colleague Aaron really had to persuade Percy to come to Hathaway House and push hard to get the kind of results he can only dream of. But when he gets there, Aaron is back at vet school and so Percy is alone again. The place is everything he had been told, but the trip to actually get there has completely wiped him out. Giada has worked at the centre for a few years now and has been living with her brother who is engaged and due to get married in six months. Change is going to happen whether she wants or likes it, but in this case, it brings up a lot of turbulence in her family dynamic. Thankfully Percy is there to help her as a friend who offers her comfort and someone to listen. Dani offers Giada a place of her own in the staff quarters but the path forward towards that is not so easy. The question is can Percy find the progress he is looking for and can Giada find her own new beginning?

I really enjoyed this story about Percy, his struggles, the friendship between Percy and Giada and how that developed. I loved their discussions around responsibility and life which were very astute and very relevant. I loved their friendship and the easy way that most of the time their communication was easy and very free. To experience all the troubles that Percy went through to battle the injuries he showed great strength. Easy to read and understand.

Sea of Trouble by Mandy Rosko
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Grizzly Bear shifter Bill isn't over his ex and so it is time he moves on by accepting a free cruise from Gerri Wilder with a chance to find his true mate. He has no idea who could love someone like him as he has had some cybernetic enhancements. Red panda shifter Ray hates water and boats but she will go where Gerri thinks she needs to be as she has not dated anyone for far too long. She also hopes she can meet her long-lost sisters. All hopes are dashed when the two exes end up in the same room and there are no other cabins available. Can Ray and Bill unite or are their troubles just too much to sail through?

I liked this story which had some very awkward conversations between the exes as well as some happy coincidences that enabled some meetings to occur. There was a few moments of danger and drama and a badly needed chance for the mates to sort out their problems. Easy to read and understand. Contains some sexual content.

Freed by Elin Wyn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Dr Nadira Tannu had worked in the small clinic on Orem stations helping people from the area known as the Fringe. She and one of her patients were abducted and placed into a long-last starship where eventually a rugged survivor rescues them. He is hell-bent on revenge but she would prefer that they concentrate on escape - can she persuade him to change course? Vengeance is about all that keeps Ronan alive as the faceless droids destroyed his brothers but he can't resist the hot doctor with the pleading look in her green eyes when he finds her in a cage. Now he is determined to keep her safe - even if it is from himself.

I enjoyed this story which progressed the story of the brothers further and also gave us a few surprises about the doctor too. It was great to see a brother find the woman who was definitely meant for him and was also (once again) capable of standing up to him and his dogged determination for vengeance at all costs. I loved the story of the patient who was with Nadira and I hope that she eventually gets her own story as certainly one of the brothers was totally dedicated to her. Easy to read and understand.

Jett by Milly Taiden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Panther shifter Ivy Bartasso is tired of her life as a fitness instructor and so takes the job offered to her by the shifter protection agency. Human Jett Frakes has discovered a plot to poison the city's water supply but after gathering all the evidence to take the company down, he is found out and in mortal danger and so engages the shifter protection agency. Jett is Ivy's first assignment but also detects that he is her mate. When an ambush nearly kills Jett a special serum will have him changing into something far more alpha than before.

I loved this story with the passion and love between Jett and Ivy mixed in with the determination of the chemical company to take Jett out and destroy his evidence before they are taken down. It was great to experience his joy at what he could see, hear and feel when he was able to shift and the way he was able to start to help to defend himself from the bad guys. Definitely, a HEA that they all deserved after all that fighting. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

One Big Bite by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Fever brother Cannibal is frustrated - he loves his food and for several days his lunch has disappeared. While it is nice that someone appreciates his expert cooking, at the end of the day it is theft and he really is hungry! Then he discovers that someone is hiding in an abandoned section of the mine and whomever it appears to be a woman with the most amazing scent. So he starts making a lunch specifically for her then he goes in search of her to find out what is going on. When he finally comes face to face with her she is a human female of royal pigment. Human Roxy escaped the Lurks who were after the solution to illnesses that her professor had developed. In order to preserve it, she was injected with it so that it could be delivered to somewhere safer for further analysis. Having seen some illibrium it "spoke" to her and told her to hide in the mine. Now that Cannibal has met his mate he will do everything he can to protect her.

I really enjoyed this story with the jeopardy of the Lurks desperate for the new medical advance to be in their hands, the mystery for Cannibal of who was stealing his lunch, the discovery of a mate, the complications of when and if he could claim her. It was was mystery story with another mystery underneath it. I enjoyed the use of the existing human mates to help with advice. Easy to read and understand. I could feel Cannibal's frustration at times. Contains explicit sexual content.

Roar and Peace by Milly Taiden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Witch Dani Rhoderick didn't do much magic and when she did it wasn't well - almost as if her powers had been bound. When Gerri Wilder promised her all she has been missing she feels it would be silly to say no. Lion shifters Mack Smith and Victor James have pretty much given up on finding their third - the mate who will complete them. But after a chance meeting with Gerri Wilder, all that changes. However, they have no idea what to do with a mate and when they see her can't keep their hands off their sassy mate with curves to die for. When Dani is attacked by a magic-wielding stranger, the guys go into protection mode to keep their mate safe. But the problem is how can shifters fight magic? The guys don’t know, but they’d better figure it out quickly because Dani possesses the most sought-after talisman in the magic world, and she will be hunted by the strongest evil until she hands it over or dies trying to keep her mates alive. Can she come into her own destiny and defeat evil while keeping her mates fit and well?

This was a nice twist on the set of three mates together where she was most definitely the most powerful of the three of them. I loved how they screwed up and had to apologise and approach it all differently in order to keep everyone happy. I was also thrilled when Dani was so level headed when it came to her powers. This book was definitely addictive and I found myself rushing through the book wanting to know what happens next. Well written and easy to read and understand. Definitely, a book aimed at a mature audience.

Imperial spy Zayda Caiden relies on no one. She also has no reason to trust the large man dumped at the prison clinic even though he makes her have feelings she thought long hidden. Mack has no memory, no real name just dreams of fire and pain. He has hidden in his mind a set of coordinates to a section of unexplored space which he refuses to reveal. He has no room for a woman in his mission, but her scent fills his dreams. When they have a chance at freedom can they trust each other enough to even escape or will secrets overwhelm their passion?

I enjoyed this story with the jeopardy of his lost memory, her secrets, their increasing passion, their friends - old and new. It was a fun read as we went through their journey and escape together. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

FEATURED BOOK - Orphan Entangled (Spellbound Shifters) by Liza Street by Keira Blackwood

#wolfpackreads #wolfpackbookbuzz #shifters #romancebooks #PNR #reverseharem  

It didn’t take long before I looked at Rhet again, at the way his brown shirt clung to his shoulders and tapered down at the waist. He was twenty-three this year, three years older than me, and his muscles seemed to have exploded in the past few months alone. 

I wasn’t supposed to notice, but I did.

I wasn’t supposed to want him, but I did.

It was a quiet, secret want. The kind that I could usually ignore during the day. The kind that came up in the darkness at night, filling my mind with forbidden images of the two of us together, his muscles bunching as he held me tightly in his arms and did...what? What would he do? I knew there was something--I’d seen wild animals doing things in the jungle and I knew men and women lay together in a similar fashion. But what I wanted to do looked nothing like what the beasts did.

Rhet could never know--I was like a little sister to him. And I couldn’t even tell my best friend, Tahira, because she was his sister. 

So the images plagued my mind, delighting me, shaming me.

Big Bad Claws by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Lila Garabedian is desperate for somewhere to hide where she can avoid detection and finds a condemned outbuilding at the edge of town and sleeps in a bunk that calls out to her due to its pleasing scent. However, the place is not abandoned and the Fever Brothers live there. When they return from the mine it becomes apparent that there is a woman sleeping in Xylan miner Zayzon of forty-five's bed. When they wake up Zayzon keeps standing too close to her, sniffing her hair and talking about mating compatibility. In order to stay hidden there, she offers to become their housekeeper (the brothers are really not good at cleaning). Lila keeps sleeping in Zayzon's bunk and it is becoming increasingly hard for her to avoid her attraction to him. But she really can't fall for anyone when demons from her past are looking for her. Can a human save an alien miner's life and avoid breaking his heart?

I enjoyed this story with the jeopardy of what Lila is running from as well as the pull between her and Zayzon. I could quite relate to her need to clean and tidy up their home - it sounds like a complete pigsty! It was great to read that Zayzon was made to pursue her and work for their mating - too often things like this are so quick and involve no work which feels slightly wrong.

FEATURED NEW RELEASE - The Heir Apparent's Rejected Mate (The Five Packs Book 2) by Cate C. Wells

#wolfpackreads #wolfpackbookbuzz #romancebooks #happilyeverafter #wolfshifters  #fatedmates #rejectedmates 

He rejected me for “reasons.” Too bad for him. No take backs.

Rosie

Fate made a huge mistake when she mated me to Cadoc Collins. He’s the heir apparent. I’m a scavenger. My people are so low in this pack, we don’t even rank.

I should have known better, but for one night, I let myself forget the facts of life in Moon Lake. Cadoc Collins might be powerless to resist me, but he’s not going to claim me, either.

A pink line on a stick makes it a much bigger problem than my bruised heart.

I’m eighteen, knocked up, and publicly rejected by the future alpha. And this baby in my belly? It might as well be a target on my back.

Lucky for me I’m a scavenger. My kind are good at finding things, but we’re great at getting lost.

Cadoc

The fate of Moon Lake rests on my shoulders. I can’t claim the scavenger female.

The pack is on the verge of a revolt, and a mating so controversial could push our warring factions into open conflict.

All I need is time. I’ll do what’s expected of me as our future leader, and when the politics are sorted, I’ll do right by the odd little scavenger.

I’m the heir apparent. She’ll be there when I’m ready.

Right?

The Heir Apparent’s Rejected Mate is a wolf shifter romance. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult readers only.

Shattered Love by Bianca Borell

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Bria du Mont and Damien du Sky were childhood friends and loved each other even then. Tragic events tore them apart and their past still haunts them as they try to survive in their own way. Can the deception that they find years later enable them to move past and rekindle that love that has always been there in the background?

Some parts of this book I enjoyed, but some parts felt like a slow-motion car crash with elements of torture mixed in it. It was well written and easy to read but at times it lost my attention. Whilst I really want them to sort out everything so that they can be together, I really don't think I want to read any more of the series as it was just too emotional for me.

Eris Vance is a salvager and is happy with her solitary life in the remote fringes of the Empire with her AI for company. When she finds an abandoned ship she thinks it could be the find of a lifetime for her, but upon boarding, it is not as empty as it appeared. Connor is the perfect soldier and was made that way and so waking up to the destruction of the world as he knew it disturbs him almost as much as the gorgeous woman who found him. The ship he was in called the Daedelus is filled with secrets and results of genetic experiments to breed the perfect soldier and now that she has awakened him the mystery of its destruction will hunt them both. Can their growing bond survive?

I enjoyed this story which had a great mixture of drama, passion, betrayal, triumph and ended with hope. It was great to get a bit more information on the star breed and understand a bit more about what happened to them and why. Just like a whodunit I definitely want to read the next story to unpick the details a bit more. Easy to read and understand. Contains some sexual content.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lycithian Bexli is able to shift to other creatures and is just looking forward to getting a ship and getting off the sand planet to get back to bounty hunting. Then suddenly she cannot shift which can only mean that she is pregnant after just one night. Dothvek Tommel is a silver fox who rarely talks is moody and treats Bexli as if she was a fragile female who needs protecting. He won't talk about his past, knows he won't take a mate, but cannot stop thinking about beautiful Bexli. Determined to prove to him that she is not fragile, they end up sharing a tent and a bed. But when Tommel walks out she panics and runs as far as she can see - right into danger. Now with no ability to shapeshift, she cannot help to rescue her crewmates due to her pregnancy. How will things work out?

I enjoyed this story with the fiercely independent Bexli and the damaged Tommel and how they came together in a passion that over time turned into something else. I loved the dramatic ending to the crisis between Dothvek and Crestecks and the way that everything seems to have ended happily for the series. Sad it is over but it was fun while it lasted.

Dragon Shattered by Liza Street by Keira Blackwood
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dragon shifter Ariana believed that she was lucky to find love once with her mate and no man could compare with him and so within her his memory lives strong after his untimely death. Whitesong Security was her way of continuing his legacy by fighting for good causes. Battles are happening between the shifter elite over artefacts from the war that claimed her mate and with the business so busy she takes on a partner. With three equally skilled applicants to choose from, she finds that they all call to her dragon stirring desires she had long forgotten. It appears as if it will only be a matter of time before they win her heart.

I enjoyed this start to the reverse harem series and it was refreshing to read so much about feelings and emotions as opposed to lots of sex. I enjoyed the drama or the event, the participants and that there were a lot of shifter elites of various types. It was also nice to read that in life there are many different types of bad people just like there are for normal human life. Easy to read and understand it was very enjoyable.

Lachlan by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lachlan was delighted to be picked by Tesla to go to Germany and help her friend Leah on a sensitive joint operation, although he is not so thrilled at the references to how she would be perfect for him. Leah is relatively new as a military analyst and when her department is asked to help in the joint task force she is afraid that she is in something which is over her head. The case is an international banking scandal that everyone wants to keep out of the media but that is becoming harder considering that the kidnapped victims are surviving but a different family member does not. Lachlan starts to realise that it is more about keeping Leah safe and alive and less about helping Tesla, but it doesn't take long before Leah becomes his priority too!

I really enjoyed this story where there was a major mystery around who was at the bottom of the banking scandal. There were plenty of surprises - some were obvious, some were a complete surprise and some were a little bit in between both of these. I loved the way that the relationship between Lachlan and Leah developed slowly and did not appear to be there until almost the end of the book. An easy to read story that was easy to understand. Contains a little sexual content at the end of the book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Elanie is a half-human bionic and has installed a hormone upgrade which then gives her tumultuous emotions and changing emotions as if she were going through puberty. It is also a little difficult for her as she works in housekeeping on the deep space pleasure cruise, the Ignisar. Seeking help she goes to the ship's handsome doctor Sem who is an empath from the ocean planet Portis. Sem is worried he can't treat her effectively as he can't read her emotions but instead finds himself drawn to her which makes him into a bumbling idiot whenever he sees her. When her programming is hacked by a mysterious voice she hijacks an escape pod to jump through space but Sem follows her to the edges of the known universe. Stranded they must fight to survive deadly blizzards, arctic ice caves, and a secret, hedonistic cult. Coping with their feelings might be harder than escaping back to the Ignisar.

I really enjoyed this story which could give great parallels to real-life along the lines of racial prejudice and bias. It clearly showed that working together and love were perfect mechanisms to move past that and have a happy future. I found that Elanie's confusion was well described and brought back memories of childhood and growing up as humans too. I loved the way that Sem was trying so hard to be professional talking to her but was ending up torturing himself and messing up his words. The descriptions were very clear and easy to understand as were the emotions experienced by them both. I believe that this book is for mature audiences only.

The species of captain Qayaan is doomed as the corporation destroyed his home-world and with no females left his fleet are turning to piracy to have some revenge. He certainly did not expect Lisa to worm her way into his heart. Together they will fight to stay out of the hands of both the cartel and the corporation but when the biotechnology in Lisa becomes unstable she must make a drastic choice about her future.

Can Pricilla cope with a walk on the bite side?

Wow - this was definitely an explosive end to the series as Dess and the guys worked through layer after layer trying to find ways to hit the crime lord and exact their revenge on him. I thought the final approach was inspired and suitably convoluted. The final ending was a bit of a surprise and I can imagine another series by the authors. Contains lots of danger, drama and at times violence. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

I received a free review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review: Alien's Treasure: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance by Elin Wyn 3 of 5 stars

Alien's Treasure: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance by Elin Wyn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Alien Gir is a Treasure Hunter and is searching for buried treasure when an escape pod crashes onto his only clue. The pod contains a human female and she is a distraction he doesn't need. For human Kyla, the last thing she remembers is going to bed in comfortable pyjamas and then having a nightmare about little grey men. The next thing she knows she is in a pod and wakes up in an alien jungle with a grumpy furry treasure hunter who clearly does not want her around. However, sometimes she catches him looking at her with his golden eyes and she starts to think if she wants to wake up from this dream?

I enjoyed this fairly short read which made me wonder just how good a treasure hunter Gar was as Kyla seemed to solve most of the clues to find the treasure. Contains some drama and danger as they got further into the search for treasure as well as some sexual content. Easy to read and understand. I wonder if they will appear in any of the future stories in this series?

Review: I'm Not Lion To You by Krystal Shannan 4 of 5 stars

I'm Not Lion To You by Krystal Shannan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lion shifter Kann is from another world but he is now living in Mystery Alaska and appears to others as if he is a local. Then when he is in the local store his mate walks in. She has blue eyes and killer legs and his lion just wants to stand up and roar because her soul is glowing just for him. Penny is on the run and cannot trust anyone as she knows it is only a matter of time until she is caught. When she meets Kann she is instantly attracted but she cannot afford a distraction as she doesn't want anyone else to get hurt when they come for her. With patience and determination, he wins Penny over slowly but will Penny's past steal everything from both of them?

I really enjoyed this story. There was a lot of mystery behind Penny and why she was on the run. There was also a lot of passion between Penny and Kann although she did find it hard to get her head around the fact that there are shifters and that Kann was one of them. I enjoyed the role that the others played in getting her more comfortable with everything. Definitely a dramatic story and a very dramatic conclusion. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Mean Right Hook by Michele Mills 3 of 5 stars

Mean Right Hook by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Leah first day in her new job is a complete disaster - she has spilt coffee all over her work uniform and then the elevator breaks down. Now she is stuck in a mining cage with an alien silent miner with mighty fists, shocking fangs and a mean right hook. Bizarrely he keeps pulling her into his arms and inhaling her scent. When the cage suddenly starts hurtling towards a certain disaster she finds her bare hand accidentally clasped between his rough claw which means she is suddenly about to start the meaning of the term "mating compatible". The question is whether she is ready for such a commitment or is she about to break his heart?

This was a nice novella which was an enjoyable quick read. I loved the touch of them all having to wear gloves to avoid accidental touching although I'm sure accidents are frequent. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Mated to the Cyborg General by Aurelia Skye 3 of 5 stars

Mated to the Cyborg General by Aurelia Skye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Carrie Morgan was crocheting in her living room and the next second a peach coloured alien claiming to be a Celestial Mates agent transports her, her dog and their packing 400 years into the future. She is left standing there on her own waiting for her supposed mate - a blue-skinned cyborg general. The agent left out some key information - humans and cyborgs are at war! She is starting to think the alien who sent her is crazy but the more she knows of DVS84 the more convinced she is that he was right - especially after some passionate nights. She just has to survive in her new environment if she wants to find a HEA.

This was a nice story and gave a view of what could happen in a futuristic world if technology was given the ability to think and if the control overall was lost. I enjoyed the story and the dog was a nice distraction from the more boring science fiction elements to make it altogether more enjoyable. Easy to read and understand. Contains sexual content.

Review: Knock Down Dragon Out by Krystal Shannan 3 of 5 stars

Knock Down Dragon Out by Krystal Shannan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Naomi Parker had a need to get away from life and her usual grief and so went on a trek through Alaska photographing the wildlife. What she never expected to see was a dragon - something that doesn't exist. Col is a hot dragon prince and as soon as he sees her he won't leave her side plus the chemistry between them is off the charts. But Col is there on a mission - to kill the dragons who murdered the royal house of Li'Vhram which is his family. But he is sidetracked by Naomi as she is his mate and he'll do anything to make her his.

I enjoyed this story set in Alaska where Naomi had a very rapid education into shifters and what they are. It was interesting seeing the impact that meeting Col had on her life and how she handled it (although there were a couple of gaps there). A nice fated mate story with the added twist that they were not from anywhere recognisable. It was nice to introduce the other shifters who seemed to become part of the same tribe as Col which definitely helped. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Her Alien Ghost by Michele Mills 3 of 5 stars

Her Alien Ghost by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Emma Lavigne inherits Firebrook Castle as a joke because it is haunted by someone called the Red Soldier. Emma laughs at that and thinks it is utter rubbish until on her first night there she is awoken by a black-horned Hyrrokin soldier who is standing at the bottom of her bed. It becomes apparent that his name is Skogg and he is trapped there - he just needs someone to figure out how to help him (and Emma is the person to do it).

I enjoyed this novella which is a spin-off from the Monsters Love Curvy Girls series. Emma was a clever and sassy woman who seemed determined to help Skogg even before they became romantically involved. It was a nice story that made me smile. Easy to read and understand. Contains sexual content.

Her Alien Priest by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cabal is a Hyrrokin High Priest in a remote monastery on the planet Salo spending his life under the vows of silence and celibacy. Then one day an error occurs when a human female called Lorelei who has been banished from her highly religious family is dropped off in error instead of the nunnery she was sent to. And suddenly Cabal is tempted by the mouthy and gorgeous human.

This was a nice little novella that is a spinoff of the Monsters Love Curvy Girls series. I enjoyed the description of the family scenario for Lorelei and the impact that she made on Cabal's life. A lovely ending that was an all-around HEA. Easy to read and understand. Contains sexual content.

Review: Romancing Paris by Milly Taiden 4 of 5 stars

Romancing Paris by Milly Taiden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Paris Warwick is a dragon shifter and a reclusive artist who just wants to be alone and is not interested in finding his mate no matter what his mother says. Then he relents and goes to a nightclub one night and sees his mate and everything in his life changes even though he is adamant that he will allow himself only one night with her. Corinne DuBois is on the run after spending years planning her perfect escape but it only took her one night to ruin it all. The sexy stranger from the club had some weird power as she is now pregnant. Sadly he gave her a fake name and so two months later she is working at a cafe and is comforted by an elegant woman who gives her a job and a place to stay. It then turns out that her one night stand was actually the woman's son - Paris Warwick. Over time she can't help but fall in love with him after he tells her that they are fated mates but the sting in the tail is that her past has caught up with her threatening the new life she was building with Paris.

I enjoyed the story with the one night stand, the consequences, the coincidence, the hidden past and the dramatic situation when it all came to a head. Paris definitely redeemed himself as he moved from douchebag to really nice guy who was devoted to his mate and impending child. Full of danger and drama this was a fun read with plenty of action. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Simon Says… Scream by Dale Mayer 4 of 5 stars

Simon Says… Scream by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Detective Kate Morgan is starting to settle in at work and be part of the team. Even her home life feels more settled until Simon starts screaming in the middle of the night waking her up which gives her some doubts about what she is going to have to cope with. When a tortured female body turns up, Simon's visions are of no help until he describes the specific injury which is the same as one in Kate's latest case. As more is uncovered, the case is getting weirder as a similar death occurred more than a decade ago, a killer was caught for it and he is looking good in this current case too (especially as he is out in society now) but he has a solid alibi. Ad Kate's team digs further, they find even more cases that all have connections to the same suspect - but she is not convinced that it is him. More is going on and she is determined to get to the bottom of it before anyone else dies a horrific death.

I enjoyed this story which was certainly a case with many twists, turns and changes as Kate and Simon raced to find out what was going on. The tortured relationship between Kate and Simon was very weird - her attitude has often been a case of he is just a guy she has sex with and yet she seems to need him. I really hope she starts to treat him with a little more respect as he is so kind and supportive to her even though he is struggling with his visions and what that means for him and his life. Their relationship needs to become more two-way. Easy to read and understand. Contains sexual content.

Review: Loving York by Milly Taiden 4 of 5 stars

Loving York by Milly Taiden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dragon shifter York Warwick is a widower and owner of the most renowned bank in the world. He spends his life working at least 20 hours per day and no matter what his mother might tell him, he is done with love. Then he meets stunning antique dealer Josie Essa who was hired by his mother to catalogue some of their belongings and he finds himself spending time with her because she appears to be his mate. Josie has a secret - yes she is an antique dealer but she is also a skilled thief. The problem for her is that she cares for the family, likes spending time with brooding York who seems to be obsessed with her 5-inch heels but he is also the person she needs to steal from. Between her secrets, his past and a blackmailing snake shifter who could destroy Josie's life, their fragile relationship could be doomed from the start. Hopefully, the truth will give them a chance to have a life together as the fates mates that they are.

I really enjoyed this story with the competing facets of the blackmail, the blossoming relationship between York and Josie and their interactions with the rest of the Warwick household. It was great to see that he immediately went to work to protect his mate and how many resources they really had at their disposal to help the situation. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.
