Review: Candied Wolf by Ellis Leigh 3 of 5 stars

Candied Wolf by Ellis Leigh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

At the Cake-ily Ever After bakery in Kinship Cove Coco is one of the three sisters that run the bakery. She has just sworn off dating shifters because each time they have met their mate and left her with a broken heart (or at the least hurt feelings). The latest one was Nico and they are now making the baked goods for his wedding. So when a mature and handsome wolf shifter called Magnus comes into their shop she really shouldn't agree to go on a date with him - partially because he is in town for the biggest wedding this year and because the groom is her most recent ex. Like father, like son had never been so wrong...or so right.

This was a fairly quick read and was centred around Coco and how she met wolf shifter, Magnus. Nico was definitely a selfish idiot and that makes me wonder why she ever dated him - surely she would have been fussier and never go near him? Magnus was definitely a fool and really should have connected the dots that she lived in a town with many shifters and so would have understood mates and what it means. However, ignoring that it was a pleasant light read that made me want to eat one of their cakes or macarons! Contains just a tiny bit of sexual content at the end.

Review: Maverick by Ellis Leigh 3 of 5 stars

Maverick by Ellis Leigh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Maverick wasn't a fan of being on Earth nor of being matched to human mail order bride - especially as she was bossy and fake - everything he didn't want - until suddenly he wanted her. Stacy had spent a year isolated from everyone while being treated in hospital and so she refused to hide away any more. Having seen her twin sister Macy find a match she decided to find herself one too. She just needs to get past her mate's very broody ways. One cranky alien with no clue how to be romantic, one clingy female who refuses to let her dislike of her match stop her, and one slip of the tongue that set the two on a crash course in how not to fall in love. What would you do if you found out the man from your fantasies was actually the man from your science fiction?

This was a pleasant short read that will give you an escape from real life. Easy to read and understand it was possible to lose yourself. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Hudson by Ellis Leigh 3 of 5 stars

Hudson by Ellis Leigh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hudson knew as soon as he saw the flyer that he needed a mail order bride from Earth so he had someone to cherish and spoil. Convincing his two crewmates wasn't easy but he managed. Macy's life plan was to go to school, become a doctor and keep her twin sister healthy. Men and dating was an irritant she clearly had no time for right now. Life became far more complicated when her twin sister applied for her to become a mail-order bride. Suddenly she had a hot guy looking at her as if she was the greatest thing ever - something that she simply had no idea how to deal with. What would you do if you found out the man from your fantasies was more like the man from your science fiction?

This was a sweet story that was novella length and had a very focussed Macy against the determination of Hudson (with the added complication of her twin sister's involvement). Easy to read and a good escape from real life. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Cutlass by Ellis Leigh 3 of 5 stars

Cutlass by Ellis Leigh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Alien Cutlass never envisaged being on a backward planet such as Earth but he was looking for a way to survive by finding himself a mate. Wine and an internet connection were a powerful combination and that meant that Chloe signed up to a mail-order bride service, especially when she realised the next day that she had really stretched the truth. As they meet and spend time together in the same hotel room they both have some thinking to do. What would you do if you found out the man from your fantasies was actually the man from your science fiction?

This was a sweet little story that was easy to read where an alien met his fated mate. A quick read that was enjoyable. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Masterson: A Vampire Sons Story by Ellis Leigh 4 of 5 stars

Masterson: A Vampire Sons Story by Ellis Leigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Masterson is a very old vampire and is looking for someone to be more than just a passing blood donor. He comes across a woman who smells sweet (in fact he calls her "Plum") and there is a slow seduction (a bit like you would find between 2 humans).

A lovely story that was very cleverly told.
