Ghosts and Grudges: a Reverse Harem Urban Fantasy by Jasmine Walt by J.A. Cipriano
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aika has a hidden ability awaken in her and that's when the trouble starts. How is she supposed to handle caring for her sick mother, studying for her medical degree and running their restaurant before this new ability to summon monsters? However when her mother is taken she can't ignore it anymore and ends up working with 2 shamans who are willing to train her as they help. Can she work out what is going on with her two helpers and her attraction to them whilst rescuing her mum?

WOW - if I could give this more than 5 stars I would. There was so much drama, mystery and action woven into this mystical story around an ancient Japanese folklore that I was hooked from start to finish. I couldn't put it down and ended up reading it until 3 am. I have loved books written individually by both these authors and thought it was worth a try and was blown away - these guys need to write together more.

Please note this is heading towards a MFM scenario so if you are not comfortable with that you may want to give this a skip, although you will miss out on a great book.

Review: Twice as Delicious by Bella Love-Wins by Vanessa Vale 4 of 5 stars

Twice as Delicious by Bella Love-Wins by Vanessa Vale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Harper Larson has had to work hard for everything in her life, and there is no deviation from that even now as she is building up a catering business. However she sees something she shouldn't have when catering for the Irish Mafia. Fortunately for her there are two guys (Dane and Leo) who are gorgeous and will do anything it takes to protect her.

You'll need to fan yourself as you read about these two hunks who want to protect Harper and see to all her needs. I loved the way the story developed around the Irish Mafia, Harper's business and the relationship between Harper, Dane and Leo. Everything was clear and easy to understand plus it was a good read so don't be surprised if you read it in one sitting.

Warning: This book contains MFM sex.

Review: Not on Her Watch by Nicole Zoltack 4 of 5 stars

Not on Her Watch by Nicole Zoltack
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nathaniel Strongarm is a marine and is engaged to green beret Shauna West when they have to put their lives on hold while he goes to a remote island to tackle the Hidden Serpents who are a terrorist group. The operation is a bit of a disaster and Nathaniel is captured. When an operation to rescue the prisoners is mounted Shauna is part of the team due to her speciality. When they get there it appears there is someone killing civilians and even worse it is Nathaniel who has been brainwashed. Can Shauna rescue him and any other captured marines?

This is full of drama with many twists and turns as the action intensifies. It covered all the thoughts and emotions being experienced by both Nathaniel and Shauna and I felt as if I was there experiencing them. I loved the brainwashing side of things and how that was done and it definitely added to the mystery.

Review: Raising the Dead by D.B. Sieders 5 of 5 stars

Raising the Dead by D. B. Sieders
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vivian is a living soul broker and now has to juggle her finance job with collecting grief from the living when the departed souls cross to the other side with the help of a guardian. However she is living a dangerous existence as she is also helping a grim reaper called Lazarus Darkmore who has become an ally against the guardian management who are rather focused on a set of very limited aims. When a rogue guardian threatens her can she trust Darkmore to keep her safe?

Wow - so much happening in this the second book in the series. There was a focus on Vivian's abilities and how it affected both her and her friends as well as how that affected her emotions and relationships. I loved the relationship between Vivian and Darkmore and how that developed through the various events. Everything was well written and easy to feel and understand. It does end of a kind of a cliffhanger and that was just wow - can't wait to see what happens now.

Review: Jace's Jewel by Dale Mayer 4 of 5 stars

Jace's Jewel: A SEALs of Honor World Novel by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jace is sent to investigate the deaths of team members from a volunteer search and rescue team where he meets Emily who works for the insurance company facing a payout for all these deaths. Even worse for Emily is the fact that 3 of the men who have died have had a relationship with her which she worries will affect her judgement when looking at these cases. As they investigate the deaths it becomes apparent there are more and they are murder not an accident. Can they race to stop another murder and can they resist each other in the process.

Another exciting visit to Legendary Securities in this story where we see how Jace and Emily meet and start a relationship (which I hope is a permanent thing). There was a lot of mystery in this story and plenty of twists and turns where you thought you knew who it was and then it changed to someone else. Everything was well written and easy to understand. It was so nice to experience Jace being happy and coming out of his shell.

Shade by A.K. Michaels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Lucifer is lonely and wants to find a good woman - he's not had a date in years and is tired of easy sex with sex demons. When he meets Beatrice she has no idea who he is and he wonders if she could be the one to reform him? Can he get her to fall for him? So when he is trying to stop a rebellion in Hell and keeping Beatrice safe from her brother when he escapes prison he has a problem - how can he stop her from leaving him when she works out who he really is?

Wow - who knew that Lucifer was all touchy-feely and had real bona-fide feelings? I loved this story and loved all the drama and action which built as the story developed. I was thrilled in the way the story ended and how they got there. Everything was well written and was clear and easy to feel and understand.
