Dream Catcher by Kate Douglas

Mac Dugan lives in Silicon Valley. He has lost his grant and computer access on campus because someone stole his work and got away with passing it off as theirs. He lost his scholarship to the university. Essentially, he lost everything. Mac keeps having dreams about a woman with violet eyes and she haunts his every waking moment too. When his fantasy woman appears and calls herself Zianne, he thinks he has gone crazy. What does Zianne want? And where is she from?

Ms Douglas takes us on a sensual erotic paranormal journey in Dream Catcher. I found myself surprised a lot by this book. There are scenes of M/M, M/M/F, and M/F interaction. I was pleased with the pace and the storyline up until the end of this book. I do not like the ending; if I could have skipped that part I would have loved this story. There is not an HEA ending to this story be warned now—I know for me it was a shocker. But I hope in the future, this story is fleshed out and revisited—it has potential to be amazing. In this short story form though, there are too many loose ends and too much sadness for this reviewer.

Taken Between by Crystal Jordan

Kira is a fox shifter. Max Delacourt is a red wolf shifter. She craves him. He avoids her. Max was the king’s brother and her boss. Tonight she is going to seduce Max and show him just what he means to her. What she didn’t count on was him wanting her too.

Taken Between is a paranormal romance with an outstanding story. The main story of the Between (shifters in Ms. Jordan’s world) and court life really made this story a stand out for me. I wish it had been longer because I felt there was much more to say in this world. Out of all the stories in this book, Taken Between is my favorite for having a great romance with a lot of sizzle and a story I could really immerse myself in and want more of.

The Right Number by Lynn LaFleur

Jamieson Edward Millington loved things neat and tidy. Jay is what everyone calls him. When he punches the number to real estate office, he gets a woman’s voice and from the tone, he can immediate tell she is his mate. When he figures out he accidently dialed the wrong number, he wants to meet the woman and find out who she is. Veronica James is not about to give a strange man she has never met her name and address. When he tracks her down, she discovers he is her mate. That changes everything.

Ms LaFleur has a cute short story which I felt was just perfect in length and pace. I smiled a lot as I read this one. There is a connection to the characters that really made this one a joy for me. I wanted the happy ending, and I wanted this one to never end. If I had one word to describe this story, I would say beautiful is the word. While the premise of this story might seem farfetched, the delivery of it made me really believe this could happen and want more of both Veronica and Jay in the future.

Overall, Night Shift is a must read for any paranormal fan. There is sex, romance, and stories which are unforgettable inside waiting for you to read. I know this book will be going on my keeper shelf.(less)

Review for Nocturnereads.com

This Anthology includes 3 stories, but honestly the last one was the saving grace of this book for me.

"Dream Catchers" by Kate Douglas
I am not into sci-fi, nothing against it; I have just never been able to get into it. Aliens just don’t do it for me. There was no warning or clue given in the blurb that this was anything other than a paranormal read. I am sorry to say I didn’t even finish this story.

Shelves: home-library, review-requested, kensington, fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi, anthology

This is an anthology with three stories by authors I had not yet read, Kate Douglas, Crystal Jordan and Lynn LaFleur. I wish I had known that Crystal Jordan’s story 'Taken Between' was the second story in the The Between series. I loathe reading a series out of order. It’s partially my fault for not digging deeper before picking 'NightShift', but it would be nice to have it mentioned somewhere in an anthology’s blurb that an included story is part of a series.

“She was coming here? If it was possible for his wolf to do a happy dance, his did.”

NightShift is a great anthology with stories from Kate Daniels, Crystal Jordan and Lynn LaFleur. Each story is very different but a wonderful PNR full of aliens, shifters and romance. I tried to do some research and see if any of these stories are part of a series but I couldn’t find anything. If they are part of a series my deepest apologies but I still enjoyed each story a lot.

The first story is “Dream Catcher” by Kate Douglas and it’s set in 1992 and is more of a science fiction the paranormal. In this story Mac Dugan is a graduate student on a scholarship and in the running for a grant to help fund his computer research when all of a sudden he is kicked out of school and looses all of his work and funding. Late at night his dream woman appears named Zianne and the chemistry and sex between the two is unbelievable. Zianne begins to help Mac to get his funding back and get back in school and as the two spend more time together Mac soon realizes that Zianne is way more then he ever expected.

This was my least favorite story out of the three and I blame that mostly on the fact that I was very confused about who or what Zianne was and what she wanted from Mac. I never connected with her at all and found myself way more interested in the relationship between Mac and his best friend Dink. I am usually not a fan of M/M/F but this book is the exception. I actually think I would have liked it even better if the whole book had been Mac and Dink and just left Zianne out completely. Not a horrible story but not a series I would want to read about in the future.

In “Taken Between” by Crystal Jordan, Kira is her queen’s head of security and has been in love with Max, the king’s brother and head of security for years. Max is a prince and Kira is the daughter of his father’s servant who raised Kira to believe she would never be good enough for Max. Kira finally acts on her desires and Max is shocked and delighted to finally have her in his bed but both of them have deep seeded issues that they must work out in order to be together. With a human stalking their queen Max and Kira must work together to keep her safe and try to figure out how to save their own relationship alive.

I really, really enjoyed this story. As I mentioned before I’m not sure if this is part of a series but if it is I need to be reading it ASAP. I loved all of the different relationships that were going on and I loved seeing characters heal each others old wounds. The threat of a human stalker gives the story some mystery and suspense which is a nice break from the hot romance and sex going on between Max and Kira. Even though the story is short I really got into the world of Betweens, humans that can shift into animals, and I would love to read more about this world and the great characters that Mrs. Jordan has created.

“The Right Number” by Lynn LaFleur has our characters meeting when Jay Millington of San Francisco dials a Ms. Veronica “Ronnie” St. James of Dallas, Texas. The moment Jay hears Ronnie’s voice his wolf knows she’s his mate and Jay will do anything to track her down, court her and make her his mate. Ronnie feels the same pull that Jay does and the two soon strike up a phone conversation that turns into naughty phone sex. When the two meet their attraction is undeniable but their relationship is anything but easy.

This was my favorite of the whole anthology by far. From the very first page Mrs. LeFleur sucks you right in to a highly erotic tale of fate, love and chemistry. The writing is so hot I thought my book was going to catch on fire a coupe of times and there was a lot of fanning of the face while reading this story. I loved Ronnie who is a very sexual woman and is not afraid to be who she is and get down and dirty with her man. Jay made me mad a couple of times but boy oh boy did he make up for it later. This story is hot, hot, hot!

I am usually not a fan of anthologies but I really enjoyed NightShift. “The Right Number” is worth buying the book for alone and the other stories are good too. I usually find in anthologies one or two of the stories are bad and there’s only one good one but that wasn’t the case here. This is a great collection of very steamy paranormal romance that will keep the pages turning until the very end. (less)

I love my introduction to this new world from Kate Douglas.
Mac, the handsome young man who calls Zianne to him through his dreams has created his own niche in my heart, and I can't wait to read more from Kate as this was just enough to whet my appetite for her new world! Mac is a geeky computer programmer who discovers that through helping Zianne, he is the key to saving not only her race, but humanity as well.
