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.

Review: Ensnared: Star: Blood Courtesans by Rebecca Rivard 5 of 5 stars

Ensnared: Star: Blood Courtesans by Rebecca Rivard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Star is out of work and unless she gets a job will be out of a home too. Count Remy de la Lune is a centuries old vampire and head of his clan. In a chance he has the window open in his car and smells the scent of Star. He goes to her and she turns him down flat. However not to be denied he hatches a plan to get her. All of a sudden she has a friend help her to get a job in a bar as a waitress (not her ideal job but hey it is something). As the next phase in his plan comes into play she is accused of stealing a large amount of money and given a day to pay it back. Enter Remy who offers to give her the money to cover the debt in return for her agreeing to be his Blood Courtesan for one month. Star feels she has no choice but to agree.

Wow. A smoking hot story with a dark and powerful vampire in the middle of it all. Will Star manage to keep her heart and just give him her body? Will she cope with the amazing sex? I loved the story. The standard of writing was excellent and I was completely there experiencing everything. A definite one to read if you are into vampires and a bit of romance.
