Third Time's a Ghost: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gage Dawson is a Paranormal investigator and IT genius but is dreadful at dating and seems to firmly end up in the friend zone time after time. Usually, a date stops at the first dinner but when his first love and childhood best friend comes back into his life, he is determined to not make any mistakes this time. Erica Miller has the skills to be a psychic medium but they are not well developed and she hides them from others. She is currently struggling to make a hunted community theatre a success and never had any problems but blackouts, confusion and headaches are plaguing the rehearsals and she needs the help of a paranormal investigator to find the culprit. She hasn't seen Gage since high school and the best friend and nerdy boy-next-door is now a mouth-watering specimen of a man. Can friends become lovers or will the spirits drive them apart?

I enjoyed this story although it was a bit annoying at times with all of Erica's doubts added into her total belief in the ghost she had known for the longest. I did enjoy the way they made mistakes in their relationship in the past as well as today plus the way they had to get over them just like we all do in real life. I enjoyed the section at the end which nicely finished up the three books in this series and gave them all the kind of future life that we all wanted them to have. Well written, easy to read and understand. Contains some sexual content.

Review: Vende by Celia Kyle by Anne Hale 4 of 5 stars

Vende by Celia Kyle by Anne Hale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dawn had suffered a traumatic brain injury in childhood and so had led a sheltered life with her family. She had a passion for botany but she had never had the chance to pursue any of her dreams in life. That all changes when she meets the Prior and they need the kind of help that only she can provide. Prior Warrior Vende is completely weary of overseeing the engineering infrastructure for everyone while his fellow warriors spend time with their mates - especially after his lack of success finding his own. Then he meets Dawn and finally understands the full power of the Knowing. Can Vende and Dawn face insurmountable odds and find a happily ever after plus save the Prior race from extinction?

This was a sweet story where there were lots of interesting new side effects to the Knowing that was very welcome. I love Dawn and how she was so carefree and trusting although I was quite afraid for her when she went walkabout. I loved her unique talent which I would love for people to have today. Well written and easy to read and understand. Contains a little explicit sexual content near the very end of the story which was very sensitively written.

Review: Argan by Erin Tate by Celia Kyle 5 of 5 stars

Argan by Erin Tate by Celia Kyle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Liquid Knot is a hacker extraordinaire and friend of the Prior, so when Prior Warrior Argan felt that she needed to be defended, he had no qualms in doing just that. However, in the aftermath he has been jailed and sentenced to death as the Preaor leader he defended her against is determined to follow the letter of the law. Liquid Knot (Lily King) is trying to think of any way in which she can prevent his death and finds that there is just one solution that leaves him with his honour intact - she will have to claim the sun-coloured, sexy, and delicious winged male as her mate. Argan sen Izz’bara would never regret defending her but he deeply regrets the fact that she has tied herself to him in mating to him in name only. But it starts to become clear that there is more than friendship between them as they start to feel attraction and passion too. While they did not experience the Knowing the first time they met, he starts to wonder if they could actually be mates. However, before any answers can be found someone is displeased that Argan did not die and is determined that both Argan and Lily will die. Will they survive and find the answer to the mate question?

I loved this story which has some great underlying stories behind the story of the initial death sentence, mating and them spending time together. It was certainly a whodunnit when it became clear that someone was trying to kill them. I loved the way that Argan was trying his best to protect her while she was also trying to do her best to protect them both as well as everyone that could be affected. Some very interesting concepts that would be fascinating to see if they come true at some point in the future. I loved the relationship between them and the way that it developed. Definitely the best story in this series so far. Contains some explicit sexual content.

Review: Second Chance Spirit: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen 4 of 5 stars

Second Chance Spirit: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Successful big-city lawyer Trent Austin does not have time for the run-down Victorian house he just inherited in the suburbs from a crazy uncle. Determined to get rid of it as soon as he can, he contacts the best real estate agent in Michigan Tina Sanders even though she dumped him three months ago fearing commitment. However, as soon as she sees him again the flames of attraction between them rekindle again and against her better judgement she accepts the job. It soon becomes clear that she has a connection to the house that is far deeper than the sexy lawyer who currently owns it. They then realise that something in the house wants Trent to be dead and instead of just battling to win her affections he is also battling to stay alive and get the HEA that they both want with each other. Who is going to win this struggle?

I enjoyed this story which had the two entertained and yet also parallel stories of the house and what was happening in there that was trying to kill Trent as well as the battle for Trent and Tina to accept the feelings that they were experiencing, what was real and the kind of future that was possible for them both to have together if they could get past the threat to his life. I liked all the drama and analysis of emotions that was happening for them both as well as the need for them to trust each other. There was plenty of drama as well as some sexual content. I really enjoyed the ending at the way that everything was eventually wrapped up.

Review: White Stripes (Whitetide Streak #3) by Marie Long 4 of 5 stars

White Stripes (Whitetide Streak #3) by Marie Long
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tiger shifter Axel Reed lost everything - his home, his family and even worse his honour. When he discovered he could produce an heir he needed to somehow find a mate - so he contacted Gerri Wilder at the Paranormal Dating Agency where he viewed the result as unsatisfactory. But when he saw beautiful and plus-sized yoga instructor Godiva Mitchell. Godiva had had many rejections in the past and so had given up on love, but after Axel walked into her studio she feels hope that things are about to change. Entering into a relationship with any tiger from the Whitetide Streak usually has a consequence and for Axel, that is a war with another shifter pack. As Godiva gets closer to Axel her world is also starting to crumble. Will she be strong enough to stand with Axel in this final battle?

This was definitely a story with lots of danger and drama. I liked the way that even with all of the bad news Godiva was strong enough to think outside of the box and come up with excellent solutions that basically saved them both. I loved the relationship between them both and the way that it grew. Lots of shifter action in this story. Contains some explicit sexual content.

The Unwanted Crown by KE Osborn - 5*

Savannah Del Rey had finally gone home after staying in Houston at the Defiance MC clubhouse with best friend Jovie in order to see her ailing mother. She immediately gets into an argument with her father when he explains that he has arranged a marriage for her. Beyond angry, she has to make a decision between her old flame King who has appeared or Hunter the man she is supposed to now marry. Can she work out what to do and who to choose deserving of her love?

I loved this story which involved some of the characters from the Houston Defiance MC as well as some new characters. Sav had a lot on her plate to decide - especially after she had some fairly major surprises. I loved the way it ended and I can't wait to read more about what happens next. Well written, easy to read, feel and understand. Contains some sexual content.
