Review: Escape: Flora by A.K. Michaels 4 of 5 stars

Escape: Flora by A.K. Michaels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Flora is the halfbreed child of a werewolf alpha and a human woman, When her mother dies her father is honour bound to look after her but honour has little to do with it. He and his pack treat her poorly, hit her and treat her as a slave as if she was worthless. In a desperate move, Flora goes to attend an audition as a vampire's blood courtesan so she can earn the money to get some independence and escape her father and his pack. Vampire Maxwell needs to go to Scotland to sort out his father's estate and so needs a blood courtesan for the duration of the visit. Can Maxwell keep her safe from the pack and can they both part from each other at the end of their arrangement?

This was a story full of lots of danger, drama and excitement as both Maxwell and Flora learnt to survive a circling werewolf pack, dangerous encounters with vampires and an attraction for each other that might be hard to end when his business is complete. I loved the way Maxwell found to resolve everything and that he really was thinking the same way as Flora was when it came to the future. Well written and easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Dark Hunter by Ava K. Michaels 5 of 5 stars

Dark Hunter by Ava K. Michaels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vampire Lazarus is a Dark Hunter who controls his nature by punishing those who deserve it. Ariana Harmon has trained hard and uses her skills to try and save women from men who seek to cause them. Their paths cross when she uses his club to escape a man she fails to initially deal with and there is an immediate attraction between them. The question is can they find a way to be together or will they both do their best to avoid each other?

This was a great start to the series and contained a series of dramatic occurrences. It was told in a way that was easy to read and just pulled you into the story so that you became addicted to them both. Well written it was easy to understand and feel. I feel they are destined to become something great in the future if only they would give in to the feelings that could exist between them.

Deceit and Lies by A.K. Michaels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When assassin The Black Rose has a new mark - Vampire leader, Cassius Allarde, she has severe issues fulfilling the contract. Can she listen to her heart and spare him or take the path of self-preservation and avoid the Demon's wreath by continuing with the mission to kill him?

Wow - this was one hell of an opener for this series which has so much promise. I loved the struggle between duty to the assassination contract or listening to what her heart was telling her. At many points in the story it wasn't possible to predict which was she was going to choose and so it was nice to read a book with a surprise in the ending as so many books these days feature obvious conclusions. Well written, it was great to feel the emotions involved in the story. Now I just need to be able to find out what is going to happen next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A bargain collection of books by some great authors.

The Dragon and The Vampire 4* - AK Michaels

Ronan is a powerful vampire and Director of the Supernatural Enforcement Bureau is surprised to find out that dragons DO exist and that one is being hunted in his area. He has to find her and then protect her with everything he has before a group of black magic practising supernaturals catch her. Starr is a dragon and has spent her life hiding in order to say alive. When she meets Ronan she suddenly feels safe and it becomes apparent they are mates.

Great story with lots of drama and danger in the desperate fight to keep Starr safe. Mixed into that was a love story which certainly has a foundation in physical love too. Good start to the series. Well written and a pleasant read.

Sea Dragon's Hunger 4* - Rebecca Rivard

Cassidy O’Byrne is an Irish shifter and one hot summer she had fallen in love with visiting shifter Nic do Rio. However he had a big secret so ended up leaving her behind. However she then discovered she was pregnant and so she gives birth to her daughter Rianna in Ireland and was determined to bring her up alone. Three years later Cassidy is running with their daughter from the Fae so she heads for the only man she thinks can save them - Nic. He never thought he would see her again and is shocked to discover he has a child - now he'll do everything he can to keep Cassidy and Rianna safe and at the same time convince her to give him a second chance.

What a great story. It had all the necessary ingredients of a not shifter man, misunderstandings, hurt, danger and fighting for a new beginning. It was quite addictive as I got further into the story and the danger was building I was really rooting for Nic and Cassidy to be safe and find the happiness that so deserved. Well written it was really enjoyable and worth reading whether you are into the Fada Shapeshifters or Bad Alpha Dads.

The Fifth Moon's Wolf 4* by Monica La Porta

Valentine Lobo is the last werewolf in the Coral system and has a mate who has been genetically engineered to give him an heir. However when he marries Mirella Canalis the arranged marriage changes to be complementary souls that are joined with passion and love. However it starts a chain of events that could destroy their happiness when politics and jealousy intervene. Can they survive everything that is thrown at them?

I loved this story which was filled with emotions and passion as Valentine and Mirella met and started to form their relationship despite all of the reach and potential problems that they encountered. Well told and clear/easy to understand it was a charming introduction to the Fifth Moon's Tales and promises a lot of interesting stories going forward.

A Wolf's Hunger: A Ravenous Pack by A K Michaels by Monica La Porta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rafe - 5*

Rafe Blackstone is Alpha of the Darkmoon Pack and has a hunger that just won't stop - nobody and nothing can stop him and his nearest and dearest are really worried about him. Then his Mum tells him of a legend that says that this only happens when a shifter needs to find their mate and so out of desperation he embarks on a journey to find his mate.

Tasha is fighting to stay one step ahead of rogue shifters that have destroyed everything that she knows and loves. When they have Tasha cornered can she survive and have a future with the Alpha who has come to her aid?

This was a great story with lots of action and danger mixed in with a lovely romantic tale. It seemed to have everything - shifters, magic and romance. It was well written and I could feel all the emotions experienced as part of the story. A great start to the new series.

Kade - 5*

Shifter Kade MacKenzie is out of control with the Hunger that is driving him wild with a need to kill and eat prey. His best friend and Beta Lennox warns him what is causing it but he finds the whole idea ridiculous - that is until his wolf takes control and takes him on a quest to find his soul-mate.

I LOVED this story and the way that it developed. Kade was the tough guy that you always envision an Alpha to be, but had also soft gentle edges that made him quite irresistible. As for his mate when he find her, she was feisty and had a take no prisoners attitude that fit perfectly into the role of an Alpha's mate. The story was well written and everything was well described. It was full of complicated thoughts, hopes and fears and I could feel all the emotions that the characters were going through.

Zohar - 5*

Zohar Drake is the Council’s most feared Enforcer. He feels that everything he has done for the council has left him tormented and feeling under a dark cloud. As The Hunger strikes him he knows that it must be a spell as the Goddess would never send him a soulmate. His best friend Danko begs to differ and sets out to hep him while they are on a mission to save a pack from a truly despicable alpha. The question is can he keep Zohar sane and outside of the Council’s infamous prison.

I loved this story. It was a nice slant to the hunger stories and the issues around the pack and their members added a different dimension with lots of drama and the odd twist and turn. I loved the dynamic between the characters and the way it developed. It was well written and everything was clear and easy to understand.

Sheba - 5*

Sheba has broken a taboo in the Dark Moon Pack because she is the first female Alpha. It was not easy to get there and she had to fight hard and be much better than any male to get to that position - so she is determined for it to stay like that and not slip in her focus. Then she gets a hunger that makes her hunt and eat lots - nothing wrong with that surely as that it what a shifter was born to do right? Then she starts dreaming about the most magnificent Lion - strange - maybe she ate something bad? When renegades start becoming a problem she has a dilemma - she has to defend the pack and get rid of the renegades, but the pack healer says she has to go and find her soul-mate or go mad. Sensing her disbelief her beta Ray insists she must find the soul-mate and that he will go with her. Can she find him before the renegades?

Great story - and so nice to read another story in the A Wolf's Hunger collection of stories that is about a female Alpha and not a male one. It was nice to have a slightly different slant on the story which made it less formulaic and not a wolf or human for the soul-mate. It was well written and I could feel and empathise with the story as it unfolded. Loved it.

Shade - 5*

Shade Shawcross is the Alpha of the Silver Lake pack and seems to have a insatiable hunger that is beginning to consume him. His Betas (and best friends) suspect they know what might be happening and persuade him to look through the pack archives to confirm what it is and find out the cure. Shade eventually agrees and they start to go through the recently digitised archives. They are all shocked at what they find and when Shade finally lets his wolf take control to try and find his soulmate. This is not going to be easy as she is on the run from her pack and Shade has three bothers after him after their scheming sister told them a story that was incorrect. Will he find his mate or will either of them die from the others chasing them?

Wow - lots of action and excitement in this Wolf's Hunger story. After a slightly slow start the action just kept coming and the danger kept piling up on them both. Well written as always and all the thoughts, dreams, emotions and frustrations were all easy to feel and experience as you read this story.

Review: A Deadly Masquerade by A.K. Michaels by Monica La Porta 5 of 5 stars

A Deadly Masquerade by A.K. Michaels by Monica La Porta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Victor Strong has organised a Masquerade Ball as a secret gathering of the vampires and their bloodmates so they can all meet each other and network. However there is a very jealous ancient vampire who just wants them dead instead. The Directive have been involved and have helped pull it all together but it starts to unravel as attacks start to happen to some of the couples which means that Victor, Quinn and Flint have started to realise that their location has been leaked to the vampire who is trying to kill them and he has enlisted vampires and shifters to help him. Can they survive this dreadful situation where danger is around every corner or will this horde of supernaturals heading for them give victory to the jealous vampire?

This is a great book that has pulled together many of the vampires with their bloodmates we have already met as part of the books in the series. However you do not need to have read these books before you read this one. I loved the danger involved in the story and the different ways that the vampires handled the situation. It was lovely to see a more human side of these characters that we have met before and to observe any ways in which they may have changed their behaviour since they found their bloodmate. It was well written and definitely hard to put down as it moved towards the conclusion of the story. Very enjoyable.

Wicked and Sexy Nights by Melanie James by A.K. Michaels by Julia Mills by

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Witch, The Wolf and The Vampire by A.K. Michaels 5*
Peri is on the run from her parents. She left when she was 15 and although she is a witch she limits the magic she uses because it could be used to find her and she has never been taught so is very limited in what she can do. Now 21 she has been living on her wits on the streets and has recently been earning cash as a bounty hunter eating when she can. When one of these goes wrong she is helped by a shifter and a vampire (Gabe and Josef) who are then captivated by her and have a need to make her theirs. A great read containing some steamy scenes and had me captivated and wanting to know more.

The Lost Centurion by Monica La Porta 5*
Marcus is made into an immortal by Apollo and after travelling lots is back in Rome to find and kill the vampire who killed his wife. We then read through a series of situations that contain examples of the emotions of revenge, an analysis of what really is the truth as opposed to hearsay and revenge (does it really make you feel good?) I loved the depth of the characters and how they managed all these uncertainties. The romance in the story was well written and enjoyable without being to sweet and cloying. An enjoyable story that was a great introduction to this series.

Zane by Elaine Barris 5*
Zane is a vampire and knows that author London (Lindy Beck) is his. She writes books about hot vampires and all the sexy and erotic things they do - but it is all made up she has no idea what the real world is like for vampires. He sees it as his mission to a) make her his and b) show her exactly how it is for them (and boy is it hot!!). Well written and easy to read you will race through this one as you get more and more into the story.

Fury by Julia Mills 5*
Dragon and seer Fury MacTavish has chosen to live in solitude even though he is always there for his fellow dragons if they need his advice or even help. Then he starts to have visions of a red haired woman who is his mate and he know he HAS to find her. So he asks his clan to keep and eye on his home while he searches for her. Red haired Pippa Sparks is convinced she is insane as she keeps having visions of a man who turns into a dragon (like that is possible). She is shocked to suddenly come across a man who turns into a dragon just like her visions - even more he says she is his mate and he will do anything (including dying in order to protect her. There is an evil demon trying to get her powers (that were mostly hidden) and they have to join forces to defeat him as their powers complement each other. A great story with lots of drama, danger and excitement. I love Pippa who was smart, had a huge heart and was very sassy - Fury is gong to have great fun. Great story that I really enjoyed!

Belle is Sassy and on a fine line with her Alpha at the moment so she goes to pick up a visitor to the pack from the airport as part of her attempt to make amends. Problem is he is an incredibly sexy Scotsman and when her Alpha's mate goes near him she finds herself growling at her - what the hell is wrong with her Wolf?? She barely makes it out of the house alive after that behaviour but later that day she sees the Scotsman again and it turns into a very hot encounter. She finds herself behaving like a love-sick puppy and his Wolf is calling to hers like a soul-mate. There are rogue Wolves in the area and they have decided they want Belle - can the two seal the bond before it is too late?

I loved this story. It fit into the Highland Wolf Clan series perfectly and had a perfect balance of drama, danger, love and romance. I could empathise with the events that were happening and was gunning for them finding a solution to all their problems and coming together as they were fated to.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cody Murphy owns Silvers - a shifter bar which he has built up after leaving his old pack when he was younger. It's very busy and he has plans to expand the business when he notices a girl watching him with hatred and loathing in her eyes. The sequence of events afterwards will take him back to past mistakes, great danger and maybe a life he thought he had forever lost. All he has to do is have as positive outcome and even more important survive.

This was a really dramatic story with many twists and turns so that you were constantly surprised at the events occurring in the book. I loved the story and the way it developed and the ending was definitely worth it. Well written and so many twists in the story that boredom was impossible. A great read and worth the investment to read this touching story of Cody and how he got a second chance at the future that he was always destined for.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ancient vampire Quinn Alexander is rich and handsome and wishing he didn't have to be in Hong Kong on business. But suddenly the Thirst hits him and he suddenly craves human blood and is struggling to keep any sort of control over himself. However when he is lost n the rough and dirty backstreets he picks up a scent that takes over his senses and logical thought abandons him as he suddenly HAS to reach whomever it is that he can smell. Then he hears a scream and a cry for help - can he reach her in time?

OMG - this story definitely had some new twists to the basic formula of a vampire's thirst story. I loved those differences and how they changed the story and the way it was developing. I loved the characters is the story and the way they interacted (or not). Very dramatic and full of a few unexpected twists and turns this is definitely a must for any fan of the previous stories as well as anyone who is tempted to give them a try. Clearly written and easy to understand it was very well written and very enjoyable.

Flint is the bodyguard for his friend Victor but when Victor finds his bloodmate and sets off on honeymoon Flint is pushed to go on a holiday to Scotland but when he gets a strange feeling when flying over Edinburgh Castle he finds he is in danger of losing control for blood from mortals so seeks out the Mystique nightclub to try and sate his blood thirst. However he is shocked when he encounters Kenzie McBride and saves her from attack only to have a villain and his people bent on getting her back. However Kenzie is beautiful, injured and shockingly his Bloodmate so he will fight to the death to keep her safe from anyone and anything.

Wow - drama, danger and lots of action in this story of how Flint met his bloodmate Kenzie. Not so much romance in this story but it was all danger and doing what vampires and werewolves do best. I love the way the characters from previous stories are woven into this story so that you already knew the people in this one. Well written and I could feel the frustration and anger being felt by Flint through all of the drama.

However Geri decided that Connie needed a little help too and so puts in motion the plans to move her to town away from her pack and into the bakery that her mate owns – all pieces are in place it's just a case of letting nature take it's course.

Grey is a very old vampire and has been controlling his darker side and living off bagged blood - he could be held up as an example of how to live a quiet life by The Directive. Then he gets a call and has to help another vampire in The Directive by handling a problem for him in Atlanta. When he gets there a Thirst for blood hits him like lightening and he loses almost all control as he needs to find his blood-mate before he goes insane. Can he find her in time to save them both and how far is he going to go against The Directive to find her?

Wow - great second book in this new series where a vampire is struck by a thirst and his to find his blood-mate before it is too late. There was a great deal of drama and danger in this story which involved more members of the supernatural world. I loved the way the story developed and the trials and tribulations they both had to get through before they found each other and were able to have a happily ever after. Everything was well written and the people, situations and events were well described so that I felt as if I was there experiencing it with them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Victor Strong is an ancient Vampire, a successful businessman, and fully in control of his life and himself. All of a sudden he gets a strange thirst for blood and a drive that threatens to push him into insanity. Then he suddenly catches the sweetest of aromas that he just has to follow until he finds the owner. He is then told this person must be something very rare – a blood-mate and he enters a race against time to find her before the darkness becomes too much and he loses control completely (and therefore his life too). Can he battle through everything in his path to stop this thirst?

Wow – I've read the similar set of books around the shifter thirst but it was great to read it from another point of view of it also affecting a vampire. There was a lot of drama and danger in the story as well as i being a lovely story of love and how two strong people can get past their self reliance to come together as a unit. It was well written and everything was well described so that you felt you were there experiencing the same things as the characters. I felt fully engaged and it was such a relief when everything came good in the end. I loved the presents (you will know what I mean when you read it) and felt that they were well matched as a couple ignoring the blood-mate situation. Definitely recommended as an enjoyable read.

Great start to the series and as book one ends in a cliffhanger it is perfect that they are now in the one book. Can Cameron find happiness after walking away from his planned out birthright and make a success with his life elsewhere? Reviews for each book from before when I read them originally:

Book One:
What a great story with lots of drama, excitement and fun in this story about Scottish wolves who find a home in the US after a family disagreement. Can they find happiness and find their true mates? Story finishes with a cliffhanger - perfect excuse to read the next story in the series (if you needed one)

Book Two:
Cameron is torn between caring for his mate, the pack and his business when even more dangers appear. Can he bring his mate back from unconsciousness? Can he heal the pack after their previous cruel Alpha? Can he even get used to this position as Alpha that he never wanted? More drama in this second book in the series which is developing into an addiction.
