Review: Isolate by K.E. Osborn 4 of 5 stars

Isolate by K.E. Osborn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Izzy and City were childhood best friends but she chose his friend and so to avoid the pain of watching them while loving her he left and went to New Orleans. Now she is back and needs his help to protect her from bad guys that the man she chose has pissed off. So he just can't turn her away and turn down her request for protection - the problem is his feelings for her have never changed and as she is there with City can he betray his friend and act on his feelings?

Wow - sexual tension is off the charts in this story which started with them both torturing each other with all of the oppressed feelings, then tentative moves towards an accord between them, then the chaos of an unfortunate incident that just blew every piece of progress that had been made out of the water. I was so rooting for City and hoping against hope that everything was resolved and that he would get the HEA that he justly deserved. Contains mature content and the hoped-for HEA.

Review: Alien Protector's Rescued Bride by Juno Wells 4 of 5 stars

Alien Protector's Rescued Bride by Juno Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Human Daisy was abducted from Earth by some aquatic aliens. She has struggled all of the time against her captors and is starting to realise that there is no one to come and rescue her. Some winged demons (or at least they look like demons) are fighting the aquatics and it is not clear if it is a rescue or a capture. Draconian Warrior Darnok is bigger than all of the other warriors and so everyone notices the size and not the person or personality. All he has are battles and saving the more worthy males for the females that they are finding. He meets Daisy and everything changes - suddenly he is determined to fight everything and everyone to save her and make her life comfortable.

I liked this story with Darnok having to accept that he had value (as do all men) and that it is wrong to think of them as disposable. I enjoyed Daisy and her attitude to life. It was a lovely story that had lots of merits as it changed the way that the Draconians were thought of and that they ALL had value (a bit like the fact that it is also true in real life ). Easy to read and understand. Contains some mature content.

NEW RELEASE - Broken Dreams: A Paranormal Protector Tale (Heart of Stone series #3) by Demelza Carlton

#wolfpackreads #wolfpackbookbuzz #PNR #gargoyle #paranormalromance 

He swore he awoke from his centuries-long slumber to be her protector…but this monster has a darker agenda, too.

Since her mother died, Rochelle has known nothing but bad luck. Barely scraping through her studies in between working two jobs, while living with her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend, if he’d only listen to her long enough to hear her say it’s over…it’s all she can do to keep it together.

Until she meets Ben, a fellow artist who helps her break free. But Ben has dark secrets of his own, and a past darker than Rochelle can imagine…

Buried after a botched ritual, Ben wakes as a gargoyle protector. The gargoyle curse compels him to protect Rochelle, but Ben also has his own mission: to find his lost brothers, hunt down the man who cursed them, and make him pay for his crimes.

Ben thought he’d already killed him, but this time, he’s going to make sure he sends the bastard to hell permanently…even if he has to summon the devil himself to do it.

Review: Striping Hot by Milly Taiden 3 of 5 stars

Striping Hot by Milly Taiden
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Gianna Lee is a reporter who is clever and just wants to get the scoop of a lifetime but after attending a charity bash at the urging of Gerri Wilder she meets billionaire tiger shifter Rex Titus who is currently struggling with some demons of his past. When Gerri surprises him with his mate he is not sure that he is ready for it. Gianna has luscious curves and dark hair and he knows having seen her that he will never be the same. But before they can contemplate a future together Gianna needs to deal with the fact that some people are not keen on making public some truths she has exposed. Can Rex help to overcome everything in order to win his mate's heart?

I enjoyed this story which was the standard mixture of mates meeting each other, some trouble and after drama and danger they get their chance at a HEA. I liked the touch of the sister helping to get them together as well as it being loosely connected to Rex. Gianna was a force of nature and definitely capable of holding her own even if she needed a shifter to help her to finish it all. Easy to read and understand. Contains some mature content.

Review: Nancy and the Naga by Honey Phillips 3 of 5 stars

Nancy and the Naga by Honey Phillips
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Human Nancy has been a slave in an alien mine for a year and has refused to give up, so when she gets a chance she escapes. She never realised how hard it was going to be to survive on her own but when a strange new alien that is part man and part snake finds her she fears the worst - however he actually makes her feel safe for the first time since she was abducted. Prince Kaiyo was banished from his home planet and has found a place for himself in the dangerous underworld of Kalima and can usually solve any problem, however, he seems unable to fix his own. When had discovers the fierce and frightened Nancy his long-forgotten instincts demand that he protect her no matter what she thinks. The longer he spends with her the more he never wants to let her go. Kaiyo’s past is about to catch up with him. He has no intention of releasing his claim on Nancy - but will she be able to handle all of his secrets? And will his people ever accept a human?

I enjoyed this story with the feisty Nancy and the determined Kaiyo. It was interesting to see how the politics of his homeworld came to play out and how Nancy's presence meant that the various parties in the politics came to the fore and gave themselves away. I loved the various twists in the story and it was great to see another human female find her HEA with a high ranking male alien. Contains some mature content.

Review: Seer Of War by J.C. Andrijeski 5 of 5 stars

Seer Of War by J.C. Andrijeski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Allie returns to New York as everything moves towards the apocalypse. The disease from Shadow is everywhere, there are earthquakes, storms, and chaos ensues (with pockets in military lockdown protecting the wealthy). Revik is acting strange and Dirini of the Lao Hu tells Allie that Shadow is coming for her but he brings War the fourth intermediary (and final member) who is going to help him end the human race) and the Bridge with it),

Wow! There were more strands of story and twists/turns than at times I felt I could cope with BUT even saying, that I kept reading as fast as I could as I NEEDED to know what was going to happen next. There are moments between Allie and Revik and even Wreg and Jon that were significant plus dare I say it but sometimes I wanted to shake them all and tell them to stop being an idiot! Cass has a major role in the story this time which made me quite sad and sorry for her (although I am SO mad as hell at her too). The ending of the story is very dramatic and so very sad too. You might need to have some chocolate or wine for this time. I cannot wait for the next story now as I NEED to know what happens next. Please make it far happier for them all!

Please note this is a great book but it will make much more sense if you have read the books before it in the series and you need to be comfortable with M/M and M/F sex.
