Possessed by Tana Stone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Astrid was a navigator on her sister's ship taking Zagrath supplies from one world to another. However, she makes an error and they accidentally stray into Vandar space and instead of letting them kill her sister she offers herself to them as a prisoner. Raas Kratos is the Vandar warrior who has gained a beautiful human woman as his prisoner. While she first finds him terrifying, over time she gets to know him and realises that he is actually quite kind to her and she starts to feel proper love for him. He also explains to her more about the differences between the Zagrath and the Vandar and she realises that maybe the bad guy is not who she thinks it is.

I really enjoyed this story. Astrid was sassy and also quite naive. Raas was a real man's man but he was also a lot more caring and sensitive than his exterior suggests. I loved their relationship and the way that she could push his buttons but he was strong enough to not lose it completely. I was thrilled when they finally got a HEA even though they had gone through so many challenges. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Saving Shelby: A Protector Romance by P.J. Fiala 4 of 5 stars

Saving Shelby: A Protector Romance by P.J. Fiala
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Diego Josephs retrained as an operative in RAPTOR and is determined to take down a kidnapper who is on the run with two children. But when he tracks down the woman who is accused of kidnapping two children after murdering their mother it becomes clear to him that nothing is as it seems. Shelby Davidson is determined to save her niece and nephew while being determined to stop at nothing to reveal the truth about her sinister brother-in-law who she knows has everything to do with her sister's disappearance. However, convincing the rugged and irresistible operative might be hard. But when Diego realises that she is telling the truth he knows that he must protect the children while at the same time, saving Shelby.

I really enjoyed this story which was very dramatic with moments of intense danger and drama interspersed with moments of tenderness and stolen chances at trying to give the children as normal a life as they could. I loved that Diego had PTSD and the role that his therapy dog played in the story. It was really like a suspense film you would see at the movies as they tried to get to the bottom of who killed her sister, how to stop the evil brother-in-law, how to avoid the police who believed his lies, and how to make as good a life and protect the children as much as they could. Easy to read and feel it also meant that it was easy to understand everything. Beautiful HEA at the end.

Review: Cam and the Conqueror by Honey Phillips 3 of 5 stars

Cam and the Conqueror by Honey Phillips
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cam is abducted from Earth and is enslaved to an alien ruler. As he trains her to submit to him she sees through his cold facade and as her body learn to surrender her heart learns to love him. Kievan Rus was exiled by his people and has fought had to establish a place in the galaxy. He rules his space station with an icy control and it means everything to him until a beautiful woman challenges his restraint and her warmth eases the cold that he has felt for a long time. But he promised her to someone else who is a member of a Royal House as payment for a deal he made. If he fails then everything he has is in danger, or will Cam's love for him survive such a brutal betrayal by him?

I really enjoyed this book which was firmly in the lands of BDSM with Kievan clearly the Master and Cam the Servant. On the face of it, he is very brutal and mistreats people, but when you dig deeper he is very fair, as kind as he can be, and only firm with those who betray him or his family. Easy to read and understand. Cam because slightly annoying with her insistence that he would be more human and kinder to the people who serve him. Contains a lot of explicit sexual content.

Review: Warwick Dragons: Books 1-3 by Milly Taiden 4 of 5 stars

Warwick Dragons: Books 1-3 by Milly Taiden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great value boxset covering the lives of the three Warwick dragon shifter brothers and how they met their mates. Includes a set of shorts at the end covering what happened after they had their mates which was a lovely update to the original stories. I loved the appearance of a special guest. All books contain explicit sexual content.

Individual book reviews:

I received a free review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

#1 - Taming London - 4*

London Warwick is a dragon shifter and millionaire playboy. He lives a life of indulgence sleeping with a different woman every night and has absolutely no plans to change his bad-boy ways. Even when his mother decides he needs to revamp his image so that he is successful in finding his mate - something he definitely has no plans to do. And so he decides to make it very difficult for the PR expert that he mother hires for him to clean up his image. PR Consultant Bethany Russo has had a crush on London Warwick for years and is determined to ignore that and only be professional while she sorts out his image - the last thing she wants to do is become another notch on his bedpost by being another of his conquests. The only issue is that as soon as he meets her he realises that she actually is his mate and he really needs to handle this carefully. Sparks fly between them both and there are plenty of stolen kisses and hidden secrets along the way. Every time Bethany opens her heart to London something goes wrong - can a cold case murder and international hitman stand in the way of this romance or will they find their HEA?

This was a lovely story of misunderstandings, irresistible attraction and intense danger. Throughout it all, I was hoping that they would find a way to trust each other, resolve the cold case and have a HEA. It was well written as I could sense and feel the thoughts and emotions of the characters as they went through the events in the story. Really enjoyable and I am looking forward to reading the next one in the series about another of the Warwick brothers. Contains some explicit sexual content.

#2 - Loving York - 4*

Dragon shifter York Warwick is a widower and owner of the most renowned bank in the world. He spends his life working at least 20 hours per day and no matter what his mother might tell him, he is done with love. Then he meets stunning antique dealer Josie Essa who was hired by his mother to catalogue some of their belongings and he finds himself spending time with her because she appears to be his mate. Josie has a secret - yes she is an antique dealer but she is also a skilled thief. The problem for her is that she cares for the family, likes spending time with brooding York who seems to be obsessed with her 5-inch heels but he is also the person she needs to steal from. Between her secrets, his past and a blackmailing snake shifter who could destroy Josie's life, their fragile relationship could be doomed from the start. Hopefully, the truth will give them a chance to have a life together as the fates mates that they are.

I really enjoyed this story with the competing facets of the blackmail, the blossoming relationship between York and Josie and their interactions with the rest of the Warwick household. It was great to see that he immediately went to work to protect his mate and how many resources they really had at their disposal to help the situation. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

#3 - Romancing Paris - 4*

Paris Warwick is a dragon shifter and a reclusive artist who just wants to be alone and is not interested in finding his mate no matter what his mother says. Then he relents and goes to a nightclub one night and sees his mate and everything in his life changes even though he is adamant that he will allow himself only one night with her. Corinne DuBois is on the run after spending years planning her perfect escape but it only took her one night to ruin it all. The sexy stranger from the club had some weird power as she is now pregnant. Sadly he gave her a fake name and so two months later she is working at a cafe and is comforted by an elegant woman who gives her a job and a place to stay. It then turns out that her one night stand was actually the woman's son - Paris Warwick. Over time she can't help but fall in love with him after he tells her that they are fated mates but the sting in the tail is that her past has caught up with her threatening the new life she was building with Paris.

I enjoyed the story with the one night stand, the consequences, the coincidence, the hidden past and the dramatic situation when it all came to a head. Paris definitely redeemed himself as he moved from douchebag to really nice guy who was devoted to his mate and impending child. Full of danger and drama this was a fun read with plenty of action. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

Review: Beth and the Barbarian by Honey Phillips 3 of 5 stars

Beth and the Barbarian by Honey Phillips
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Beth is hypersensitive to the emotions of others and so it resigned to spending her life alone until she is attacked by savage aliens and rescued by a massive scarred warrior with who she feels a connection for the first time. Afraid of living her life totally alone, when he tells her that she needs to go with him she does not hesitate. Dragan never expected to find the perfect female while tracking saboteurs targeting his people. As an outcast, he is scarred inside and out and knows he is unworthy of a mate, but his instincts say he must protect her from all danger and that includes his intense attraction to her. As they are both pursued across the galaxy they are forced even closer together. Can Dragar give Beth the love she deserves?

I really enjoyed this story which had a great mixture of necessity and romance. I loved the way that they fit very well together if only they realised that they both needed and deserved each other. Plenty of action and drama to keep you hooked. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

His thoughts were taking him into the extremely pleasurable, extremely distracting territory. Just as he’d decided to rein them in so he didn’t maul this woman with heated kisses right here on the sidewalk, bright orange and yellow lights exploded across the sky, followed by a resounding boom.

Hercules grabbed Brenna and pressed her against the building. She made a little “eep!” sound before going soft in his arms, and he was shocked to realize that despite her fear over whatever else was going on in her life, she trusted him.

“Hercules, what are you doing?” she asked.

He looked down at her face—there was no fear whatsoever. Mostly puzzlement, and, when he took in a breath to scent the air? Arousal.

Brenna cleared her throat. “Um, not that I mind your big, strong arms, but that’s just a firework someone set off.”

Another loud boom filled the air, but he didn’t look up at the sky—he focused on the woman in front of him. Bright lights reflected against her eyes, which were locked on his. She licked her lips. He couldn’t look away from her mouth; it wasn’t physically possible for him to tear his gaze from her.

He dipped his head toward hers and said, “I want to kiss you.”

“I want that, too.” She sounded breathless.

He’d never heard sweeter words. With a low growl of need in the back of his throat, he tilted his head and pressed his lips to her mouth.

F***. She tasted divine. He wanted to bury himself inside of her, caress her skin, taste every inch of her.

She moaned softly and he touched his tongue to her lips. He wasn’t sure if it would shock her or whether she’d like it, but to his pleasure, she opened her mouth, allowing him in.

He clutched her hips and deepened the kiss while pressing against her body, feeling the way she moulded to him. He was hot, heavy, desperate for release, but he ignored it because his primary goal was kissing this gorgeous woman.
