A Daddy for Christmas: Connor by Shannon West
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Connor Floyd has no family left and friends out of town for the holiday when his inability or organise or handle money concludes after the power is cut off from his flat. The worst storm to hit his town for years is rushing towards them too - but as he contemplates his end there is a knock at his door. A handsome man is there holding a gift for him with a blue bow. Jared Spencer is the wealthy owner of a popular BDSM club downtown. He is grudgingly doing a favour for another member by dropping the present off but feels that he has to do something about Connor's plight. He loads him into his chauffeured car to get him somewhere safe for Christmas but Connor is not what he wants or needs as he needs a Daddy Dom and Jared is decidedly not one of them. But the magic of Christmas is that even when you think you’re alone, on the coldest, darkest nights, when the whole world seems indifferent, a Christmas miracle can still happen.

I liked this novella with a boy who was more of a Middle who was cared for and protected by Jared even though he was not a Daddy. I loved the way that Connor went for what he wanted and was completely fearless which was the product of his earlier life. Jared changed in some ways to care for Connor and was also strong enough to call him out and push him in the right way. I did find Jared's late change and dithering odd given that he was such an experienced Dom that he was a Master and that the ending was a bit abrupt as it mentioned permanence in a relationship that I hadn't seen in the story. This is an MM story with mature content and BSDM-like elements like Daddy/boy and D/s dynamics.

A Purrfect Trifecta by Rebel West
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Determined and focused, Lexi Newland knows what she wants and hasn't come close to find it with any man. So she enrols with the Paranormal Dating Agency and sets Gerri Wilder on the case for her. She wants to be treated well, given a life where she can work to get herself what she needs, and someone who will satisfy her sexual appetite. Leopard Shifters Archer and Rhett plus Panther Shifter Harlan are three friends who are sure they’re meant to share a mate. They each have their own gifts to give but finding the one woman who can satisfy them all might prove impossible - until they meet Lexi and know she is perfect. Can they all come to a consensus and find a way forward to true happiness?

This was certainly a dramatic book with lots of thoughts, emotions, and of course lots of sexual activity from the four characters. It was certainly an interesting quick read even if it was a fairly quick book which contained a lot of action between the sheets (and out of them). An enjoyable short book that was just missing a bit more of a story. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Wolf A Bye Baby by Rebel West 4 of 5 stars

Wolf A Bye Baby by Rebel West
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jade Fellows has been short on luck in her life - the combination of student loans and medical bills have meant that she is working two jobs to try and keep her head above water. On a very rare night out she has a one-night-stand with a shifter who goes wild for her curves - however, what should have just been a distraction turns out to be much more than she ever bargained for. Wolf-shifters Dylan and Carter left their Canadian pack to set up a new life together as they are convinced that they cannot be happy unless they find the right woman in order to become a mated triad. However, on a night out, Dylan is convinced he has found her only to have lost her again. After the passionate one-night-stand in a strange hotel room, there was a heat of the moment bite and now a missing mate. Desperate to find her, they turn to the Paranormal Dating Agency for help - can Gerri find Jade and bring them all together for their HEA?

This was a very dramatic story that had a lot of drama and excitement in places. I loved the contrast in personality and approach between Dylan and Carter and how together they really could make a whole. Well written and enjoyable to read I was definitely invested in their relationship and making Jade see that they were right together. Enjoyable story that contains explicit sexual content.
