Sea Dragon's Hunger by Rebecca Rivard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

Review: Tray by J.M. Walker 5 of 5 stars

Tray by J.M. Walker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tray is a loner and tortured from his childhood and past life but when he walks into the garage run by a rival MCs president he sees Zillah he feels a connection and has to ignore all the warnings in his head and get to know her. From Zillah's POV one look at she can't look away from him. Can the loner bad boy biker and the protected president's daughter have the time to build the kind of relationship they want or will the different MC gangs keep them apart? When a long term club member tries to take matters into his own hands will everyone survive?

There was danger and drama from the start to the finish in this book. I loved the way their relationship developed and the twists and turns in this story which were not predictable and came as a surprise to me. The relationship between Tray and Zillah was very special and I loved the way it developed over time. Definitely a story to pull at the heart strings and wish we all had our own Tray to love us that much. Well written thought this one was probably better than the previous book in the series and I loved the ending.

Review: ' Footsteps in the Attic 'by James P. Usavage 3 of 5 stars

' Footsteps in the Attic ' by James P. Usavage
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

John works in an office with Rita and after a few dates starts to feel that they have something special. However she has a special talent that it appears that others want to take advantage of so when she disappears he decides he has to find and rescue her. So together with his brother Ernie he sets off on an epic adventure following leads across the country - can they find and rescue her and why has she been taken?

The book is an intriguing mixture of a mystery, a horror, a paranormal and a thriller as you follow mainly John but sometimes Rita during this dramatic story. At times I got irritated with John in his determination and obsession in finding and rescuing Rita so that sometimes I wondered if he was a stalker or mentally ill. However I stuck with the story and it then became more dramatic and mysterious as the reasons Rita was abducted became clear and your realised what was really at stake. Parts of the story definitely make you wonder what if that really were to happen. Enjoyable read if you accept that John is more than a little obsessed and run with it.

Review: Refrain: A Vampire Blood Courtesan Romance by Susan Griscom by Michelle Fox 4 of 5 stars

Refrain: A Vampire Blood Courtesan Romance by Susan Griscom by Michelle Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Neriza's life went into a tailspin when a car accident leaves her with no parents, a sister who is severely injured and completely poverty stricken. Then she sees an advert in the paper and a solution seems clear to her - become a Blood Courtesan. However her first client is her teen idol pop star Lyric Rivers and bizarrely he doesn't want anything to do with her after paying for her. Then things take a turn for the worst when her father's misdeeds come to haunt her putting them all in danger. Can she solve the problem left my her Dad, make Lyric want her and keep her heart intact?

This is a great addition to the Blood Courtesans series of books and had a few really great twists in the story that you won't see coming (I certainly didn't). I loved the way it built up and the anticipation of how great things could and hopefully would be between Neriza and Lyric. Well told and described it was easy to pick up the thoughts and emotions of the characters involved in the story and get involved in their story.

Review: The Lost Centurion by Monica La Porta 5 of 5 stars

The Lost Centurion by Monica La Porta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Marcus is made into an immortal by Apollo and after travelling lots is back in Rome to find and kill the vampire who killed his wife. We then read through a series of situations that contain examples of the emotions of revenge, an analysis of what really is the truth as opposed to hearsay and revenge (does it really make you feel good?) I loved the depth of the characters and how they managed all these uncertainties. The romance in the story was well written and enjoyable without being to sweet and cloying. An enjoyable story that was a great introduction to this series.

The Witch, The Wolf and The Vampire by A.K. Michaels 5*
Peri is on the run from her parents. She left when she was 15 and although she is a witch she limits the magic she uses because it could be used to find her and she has never been taught so is very limited in what she can do. Now 21 she has been living on her wits on the streets and has recently been earning cash as a bounty hunter eating when she can. When one of these goes wrong she is helped by a shifter and a vampire (Gabe and Josef) who are then captivated by her and have a need to make her theirs. A great read containing some steamy scenes and had me captivated and wanting to know more.

Zane by Elaine Barris 5*
Zane is a vampire and knows that author London (Lindy Beck) is his. She writes books about hot vampires and all the sexy and erotic things they do - but it is all made up she has no idea what the real world is like for vampires. He sees it as his mission to a) make her his and b) show her exactly how it is for them (and boy is it hot!!). Well written and easy to read you will race through this one as you get more and more into the story.

Fury by Julia Mills 5*
Dragon and seer Fury MacTavish has chosen to live in solitude even though he is always there for his fellow dragons if they need his advice or even help. Then he starts to have visions of a red haired woman who is his mate and he know he HAS to find her. So he asks his clan to keep and eye on his home while he searches for her. Red haired Pippa Sparks is convinced she is insane as she keeps having visions of a man who turns into a dragon (like that is possible). She is shocked to suddenly come across a man who turns into a dragon just like her visions - even more he says she is his mate and he will do anything (including dying in order to protect her. There is an evil demon trying to get her powers (that were mostly hidden) and they have to join forces to defeat him as their powers complement each other. A great story with lots of drama, danger and excitement. I love Pippa who was smart, had a huge heart and was very sassy - Fury is gong to have great fun. Great story that I really enjoyed!

Review: Hidden by Night by Jada Storm by Emma Stark 5 of 5 stars

Hidden by Night   by Jada Storm by Emma Stark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this third instalment of the series Ace and her guys develop further into their personalities and skills as she gets used to what she can do and the supernatural world around her. We also learnt more about the history behind them all as well as hints of what might happen in the next book in the series. Sometimes a third book in a series can be a bit tired as the main events might have already happened but in this book there was still plenty happening that moved the story on while staying true to the characters we already know and love. I really enjoyed that it was all about friendship, love and relationships and not just sex that many RH stories seem to focus on. Very enjoyable story.
