Battle Scarred by Michele Mills
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mara comes to the mining planet Timbur wanting nothing more than a good paycheck and a quiet fresh start — despite being seven weeks pregnant and hiding it. But her plan falls apart when Cayzor (Scar), the terrifying, scarred Xylan everyone fears, starts showing up everywhere she goes, sensing every discomfort and watching her like she matters. He doesn’t care that she’s carrying another man’s baby, and soon he’s the one supporting her through the pregnancy. At the same time, Mara is pulled into Scar’s long‑running hunt for his parents’ killer — a mystery that heats up the moment she arrives. She came for work, but she might be the key to ending a war.

This finale was full of emotions and feelings as Mara tried to manage her pregnancy, her growing connection with Scar, and the rising tension among the Fever brothers as the truth about their parents’ killer finally came to light. I loved the contrast between the sweet moments, where Scar cared for Mara despite their incompatibility and the fact she carried another man’s child, and the dramatic moments, when the hunt for the murderer intensified and everything shifted for them all. The blend of tenderness, danger, and long‑awaited answers made this a satisfying ending to the series. It was wonderful to finally see the mystery resolved. This was an MF story with mature content.

Review: Rook Takes Queen by Michele Mills 3 of 5 stars

Rook Takes Queen by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hallie Longwell escapes Chronos with dangerous information a powerful Pigment House wants buried, forcing her to seek protection from the Fever Brothers. The moment Rook scents her, he shields her like she’s something precious — convinced she’s his long‑awaited Bride. Hallie didn’t come looking for a mate; she came to save this family. But with House Vaszneth closing in and Rook becoming the one person she can’t imagine losing, her mission and her heart collide.

I enjoyed this story, especially the way it finally delivered more answers about why the Fever brothers’ parents were killed and who’s still threatening them. That extra world‑building depth was really satisfying. Hallie was a great addition — sensible, steady, and easy to like — and the gaming angle between her and Rook added a fun, unexpected layer to their connection. I do wish there were more emotions and feelings woven through the narrative, but overall it was an enjoyable read with solid plot movement and meaningful revelations about the family’s past. This was an MF book with mature content.

Review: Thick as Thieves by Michele Mills 3 of 5 stars

Thick as Thieves by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ines travels to Timbur to investigate a dangerous secret and ends up under the protection of Trunk, a huge Xylan miner who can’t stand her—or journalists in general. Their mutual irritation is complicated by growing attraction, but they’re supposedly not biologically compatible. When someone tries to kill her and a med lab unexpectedly heals her, everything changes. Trunk recognises her as his mate, leaving Ines realising she didn’t just come for a story… she’s become part of it.

I really enjoyed this instalment, especially the way the connection between Ines and Trunk deepened only after her medical treatment changed everything. Their bond shifts from reluctant allies to something intense and undeniable, and it made the second half of the story more enjoyable. I loved Ines’s determination to uncover the truth, even when the investigation turned dangerous. Her stubborn drive, paired with Trunk’s fierce protectiveness, created a great balance between tension and tenderness. With plenty of danger, drama, and high‑stakes moments, this was an exciting, emotional read that kept me hooked from start to finish. This was an MF story with mature content.

Review: Midnight Mist by Michele Mills 3 of 5 stars

Midnight Mist by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Naomi knows the rules on Timbur: never remove your gloves around an unmated male, or you risk triggering a mating bond. So at the Dark Moon Costume Ball, she keeps her gloves firmly on and avoids Chief — the brooding, devastatingly handsome Xylan miner who’s been watching her all night and has a reputation for harsh words. But when midnight strikes and a strange mist fills the cavern, Naomi collapses with the others. She wakes to find her glove missing and her bare hand clasped in Chief’s. The bond has snapped into place, and his growled “You’re mine” makes it clear her life has just changed forever.

A fast, dramatic read with all the intrigue you’d want from a masked ball — the mystery, the anonymity, and the electric tension of Naomi and Chief watching each other from across the room long before either of them speaks. That mutual awareness gives the whole story a delicious slow-burn edge, even as the plot leans into instalove territory. Naomi is wonderfully strong and feisty, refusing to be intimidated even when everything spirals out of her control, and Chief is exactly the kind of determined, unshakeable presence who matches her perfectly. The claiming ceremony adds a burst of high‑stakes drama that fits the world and their dynamic so well. Short, punchy, and novella‑like, this story delivers quick chemistry, bold emotion, and a satisfying hit of destiny‑driven romance. This was an MF story with mature content.

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

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

Prince is the heir of the head of the Hyrrokin mafia and some time ago he scented his bound(mate) from a red scarf he found but after looking everywhere he has still not seen her. When his father takes a new bound he gets a human stepmother and stepsister and he is put in charge of his sister's safety as she is innocent. When he meets her he knows - she is the one.

This novella was a sweet read that you need to have read the previous books in the series first to understand Prince's journey to find his bound. It was a little silly but I was glad to see that they had a chance to get to know each other. A light read that will give you a warm feeling when they get a HEA at the end. Easy to read and understand. Contains some mature content.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Posey's finances were cut off by her step-father and mother and so she needs to find a way to earn money fast to raise the money to care for her elderly cat and finance the young women who are studying at Oxford University with the help of a scholarship via her fund. So she finds herself on the stage at the auction to sell off her virginity planning to divorce at got back to her normal life as soon as she can. She also plans to take vengeance against her stepfather for killing her father. A heavily armed and tattooed male alien with tusks pounds his fists on his chest and heads for her as he has won her at the auction. How am I supposed to reign over this handsome, muscle-bound alien alpha? My body might be for sale tonight, but my heart is certainly not part of the bargain.

I enjoyed this story although the whole stepfather/father death thing and the cutting off of her finances were a little too contrived for me. I loved her heart and that she was determined to help those less fortunate than herself to get through university and wanted to make sure it was done in an anonymous way. Waylen was a man who had been wronged but he was determined to get himself a mate/wife and was empathetic to find a way to make life better for her previous cat. Easy to read and understand.

Auctioned to the Alien Beast by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

With a Mum needing life-saving surgery Charlotte needs money fast and so she decides to auction her virginity. She finds herself barely covered and under bright lights as the Auction House receives bids from the males in the audience. Taygar Tusk, of the Voltare species, recognises her as his mate and so in a deep raspy voice continues to up the bidding for her and then he has won - the lights go up and a huge male marches forward ready to immediately perform marriage vows. But he’s not human but an alien with flashing red eyes, dark grey skin and tusks. He grins, picks her up and tosses her over his massive shoulder before stomping off into the night.

I enjoyed this story with the innocent (but incredibly naive) Charlotte and the worldly Taygar. I thought that the issues with the other bidder were too glossed over but I did find their relationship developed into something quite sweet. The ending with the parents was just weird.

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

Human Cherise was bullied by Hyrrokin male Horace in high school then years later after completing her education, she is about to a new job on the Omega 9 space station when Horace shows up demanding that she becomes his bound! He says he has kidnapped her father and will ruin the family business unless she marries him - surely there is no way that she can marry her bully?

This was a nice little story where much of the past was not how it appeared and that the future can be something so much better. I was fairly amazed at her ability to be clear-headed and logical at a time that was obviously against everything that she believed in. Actually, Horace was a really nice guy and it was actually really sweet. Easy to read and understand. Contains mature content.

Her Alien Ex-Con by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Aliyah has escaped from her father and has arrived on the Omega 9 space station at the same time as a prison transfer. She finds herself handcuffed to a tall satanic looking man and finds herself on the run with him. He is bossy, throws flash flames, can party all night, sin and shoot a blaster well - plus his kiss is just wow. Then they discover that the Hyrrokin mafia is after her but she has no idea why. She should probably be planning her escape, but he appears to have captured her heart too.

I enjoyed this story which definitely ran on from the previous one in the series. I liked their chemistry which was off the charts and I also liked that he did what he could to keep her nearby. I loved the ending which was great and closed that chapter nicely. Easy to read and understand. Contains mature content.

His Human Socialite by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Jada was escaping a bad situation by staying with her cousin and was set up with a blind date with Hyrrokin Idun Grindstone. She is set to gain a significant inheritance and he is a foul-mouthed security specialist - but she is enchanted with the smoke that wafts out of his nostrils, his bare chest and barbed tail. However, he made it clear that he thinks that she is spoiled, an irresponsible party girl and he wants nothing to do with her (even if sometimes he behaves differently). She doesn't behave that way - that is her twin sister. Then she is kidnapped by the Hyrrokin mafia and held for ransom. Idun activates his team at Molten Lava Security and all hell breaks loose. Finally, Idun shows exactly how he feels about her and that he cares for her. Maybe they do have a future together after all.

Some of this was enjoyable and fit in well with the series, and part of it was a little rushed and lacking in substance. Idun was delightful in his stubborn denial of what was impossible to actually deny and it was just a relief when he came to his senses. Easy to read and understand if a little light in places.

Hot & Heavy by Michele Mills
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Jana met Illibrium miner Heavy (Ruxon of Twenty-Seven) and tested mating compatibility with him which lead to a night of raw passion, and some words of commitment in the holodeck on the Hunter station. The next morning she woke up to an empty bed and a note never to see him again. Two months later she discovered that she was carrying his child and so is on a mission to find him. Having changed jobs to be on the same planet as him she sees him and he glares at her as if she was a complete stranger. This amnesia is not accidental - someone is trying to keep them apart. But Jana is determined that she will save her marriage, her baby and her man!

I enjoyed this story with the mystery as to what happened to Heavy and how it can be fixed. I love the determination that Jana showed and that she was not going to give in (even while she was coping with morning sickness!). It was easy to read but I did find the denial phase of Heavy's problem a little long-winded in places. I'm wondering if there will be a global conspiracy for the entire family which is clear at the end of the series to sum up all of these events. Contains some mature content.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Evie lives on Salo and wakes up to find a winged infant crying on her porch. Determined to do her best for the child she takes it in and starts to care for her using the supplies that were left there too. Then she sometimes hears footsteps and the faint brush of feathers before one day seeing the baby's father Isak Firestone. Isak finds he cannot stay away from both his child and Evie and he wraps his wings around her as each night they share her bed before the morning when she finds him gone. Why did the Hyrrokin male leave his baby with her and will he one day leave, taking the child with him?

This was a sweet story that seems to pull the monster bites series together nicely although I have an outstanding thought as to if they are going to meet their brothers back in their homeworld? I enjoyed the duplicitous nature of the so-called delegation and that Isak knew them so well as to see through the lies. Easy to read and understand. Contains sexual content.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Private investigator Amelia is on assignment spying on the Hyrrokin biologist Sir Bane Ashmoor. However, spying on him has now become much more of a job to her and she is already imagining their children and so it seems to have moved from work to stalking! He just looks so attractive as he spends hours in the wildlands charting the migration of the fire-beasts.

He picks her up and carries her to his tent - it's like a dream come true especially when it becomes apparent that he really likes her - but what happens when he discovers that he has taken his stalker home?

I enjoyed this story with its secret of Amelia's identity and purpose for being there mixed in with who her secret client was. I loved the way that Bane was very honest about his attraction to her but was also incredibly honourable with his treatment of her so as to not take advantage. Easy to read and easy to understand.

Charlotte Cruz is getting married even though she is realising that it is a very big mistake. He is wearing an exquisite white gown, has a large engagement ring but her groom is evil personified and she is close to crying in front of everyone. Then at exactly the right moment the church doors open and a large satanic looking alien with a flicking tail stomps down the aisle towards her and confirms her name. After she nods he grunts, picks her up and takes her away from the altar and leaves the church while the guests scream - it appears that the dark and brooding Fire Lord of Ashmoor Manor has just been to Earth and collected his new ward.

I loved this book. Charlotte was sassy and a gorgeous woman both inside and out. Thayne was dark, brooding and tortured but a beautiful soul who definitely needed love in order to bloom again. I loved the mixup, the care and devotion that they both showed for each other, even if it wasn't always so obvious. A sweet story that shows that happiness can come after a great personal tragedy. Well written, easy to read and understand. It was easy to pick up and feel the thoughts and emotions of the two main characters. Contains explicit sexual content.
