As dragon shifters, Remy and Philippe had spent their lives searching for their perfect mate, and in Lilly Montague, they found her. But enemies from their past are threatening their happiness. Dragon law dictates that they must meet the issued challenge and face their enemies in battle. But when Lilly sees them in Dragon form, will she be able to accept them?
EXCERPT:
Excerpt One----VERY ADULT CONTENT!!!!
Lilly Montague smiled, her full lips curving upward as she savored the glide of her lover’s hand over her thigh. It had been only six months earlier that she had first met Philippe, in the very same exclusive club where they now indulged their desires. Sprawled atop him, her breasts crushed tightly against his chest and the hard ridge of his massive arousal pressed intimately into the juncture of her thighs, she savored the sensation. Still, there was something missing, or someone, more particularly. She was trying not to think about it, but her mind refused to cooperate. Lilly had two lovers in fact, two beautiful men who saw to her every whim and desire, as well as to one another’s. Rising on her elbows, she stared into Philippe’s handsome face, noting the honey-colored scruff that shadowed his firm jaw, highlighting the supple curve of his lips.
When he met her gaze, he sighed just a bit. “Stop thinking about it.”
Lilly’s sigh matched his. “I know he’s only been gone for a few days, but it feels like an eternity.”
Philippe’s hand moved farther up her thigh, disappearing beneath the hem of her skirt, and encountered nothing but bare skin. “You need a distraction, cher.”
Lilly shivered as his hand coasted over her behind, his fingertips lightly dipping into the cleft. “Don’t tell me,” she said. “Show me.”
It was only seconds later that she felt his lips on hers, claiming, ravaging her mouth in a hot, almost brutal kiss. His left hand fisted into her hair, using the dark locks to tug her head back. The other hand continued the sensual torment, sliding over the curve of her behind, between her parted thighs, his thumb circling the tight rosette while his fingers delved between dew-slicked folds. She let out a soft moan, unable to hold it back. There were other people in the club. The bartender was stocking the coolers with beer and other refreshments, and the new waitresses were in the storage room, doing inventory to make certain that all members’ toy chests were accounted for. Lilly thought of the first time she’d been in the storage room, seeing the various and sundry items that the club’s members used for their pleasure. Remy had been with her, his hot gaze like a physical caress on her body. She hadn’t known then who she wanted more, Remy or Philippe. It had never dawned on her to imagine that she would have them both.
“So wet, so hot for me,” he murmured, his teeth scraping over the sensitive skin of her throat. It wasn’t the first time he’d done that, and she knew it would leave a mark. But the delicious shivers arcing through her body made it more than worthwhile.
Remy stepped into the dimly lit interior of Dragon’s Lair, his own private domain. At the end of the hallway, entering the main room, he paused and took in the scene before him. On the far side of the room, in the private alcove reserved for the three of them, Lilly and Philippe were ravishing one another. The hot kisses, the sight of Philippe’s skilled hand pumping into the sweetness of Lilly’s cunt, had him hard instantly. He didn’t have to make a sound. Philippe looked at him over Lilly’s shoulder, and Remy felt the zing of connection between them. There was a fantasy building in his mind, a tableaux that he allowed to play out for Philippe’s benefit. It had been nearly a week since he’d had them, since he’d tasted either one of them. Other things would wait, but his passion would not.
Moving toward them silently, he began to remove his tie and then his jacket. By the time he reached the alcove, his shirt was unbuttoned and his cock was raging. Philippe was urging Lilly on, whispering hot, erotic things to her that did not leave any of them unaffected. Her top went first, some gauzy confection that only highlighted her feminine appeal. It landed in a dainty heap on the floor, followed by her skirt. Clad only in high heels and a black lace bra, she straddled Philippe’s hips, rocking against the massive erection he sported for her. Moving behind her, Remy slid his hands over her shoulders, down to the soft globes of her breasts. He closed his fingers over her nipples, pinching them with just the amount of force she liked. She shuddered and leaned back against him.
“I’m so glad you’re home,” she said on a dreamy sigh.
He smiled as he claimed her mouth, tasting Philippe’s kiss on her lips. “I’m glad to be home... I’ve missed you. Both of you.”
This was a short story that turned out to be and enjoyable read.
The characters were likeable and and very intriguing.Who wouldn't be interested in two very hot shifter Dragons right ?

Orphaned at 7, with no memory of her past or the family she lost, 17 year old Skye Martin is tired of being alone and afraid. After a hard night of partying, Skye wakes up alone in an unfamiliar hotel. All she can remember is the deep voice of her rescuer and his promise: “I am safe.”
Xander has been tasked with watching Skye from afar for the past two years, in order to keep her safe from the demons that hunt her. An easy job - until a pair of red glowing eyes reveal themselves to Skye, and Xander, in a moment of weakness, is forced to break his cover to protect her. Never good at trusting people, Skye is inexplicably drawn to Xander and the immediate bond she feels for him. However, Xander is filled with secrets and ties to her past that threaten to thrust Skye into a world she could never imagine existed…
As she begins to unravel the truth about who Xander is and the details surrounding her family, she discovers that she might just be the key to saving everything... And, most importantly, she finds that there has always been someone by her side who would never let her fall…
Excerpt #4
Rioden bowed his head my way and told us to hurry up as he stepped out of the hotel room. Xander came up from behind me and smiled his beautiful smile of encouragement at me.
“You okay?”
“Um, yeah, I think so. I mean, that’s a lot of information to put on a girl, you know?” I teased half heartedly.
He reached his hand up to my face and touched my cheek briefly, before pushing a strand of hair out of my eyes and gently tucking it behind my ear.
“You're not a girl - you're a Princess, remember? You are so much stronger than you know. You’ll see.”
Stepping back, he opened the door for me and his eyes twinkled as he added, “Come on Princess, let’s go eat.”
I started to walk by him stoically, like he hadn't said anything, and then my fist darted out and knocked him in the gut as I continued on out the door. Grasping his stomach as he shut the door behind me he groaned, “See? I said you were stronger than you knew!”
Our Review
Wow ! What a fantastic read just loved it could not put the book down what a page turner this story was.Michelle G Miller is a new author for me and I have to say she didn't disappoint.I love it when I find new authors to read and fall absolutely in love with there works and writing.If Michelle continues to write stories like this she will be among my top favorite authors.
What a great cast of character's I love them all found them all to be loving caring respectful and a times a lot of fun to read about they all were so engaging that they kept you turning the pages to see just what would happen next.
You always have to have one favorite character and Xander would have to be mine.That hot Guardian bordered on being a saint ! That hottie makes a girls blood boil.I was I love with him from the very first pages what a considerate loving and caring individual and also one heck of a protector.Wish he were mine...LOL
Xander was chosen to be Skye's Guardian and has been watching over her for many years but, one fateful night he finally broke a rule and showed himself to her creating a whole slew of new problems for them both.Skye is a bit of a mess growing up in a group homes all her life and feeling so alone has driven her to partying to much and to make one bad decision after another until she meets Xander when her life is about to change . Whether its for the better is anyone's guess....
Xander has been chosen to be a Guardian to Skye's for a purpose as she really is a princess from another dimension and now in line to be Queen of her own realm.The kicker is she knows nothing of this and thinks everyone around her is crazy until a batch of demons try to dispense with her.Now she is starting to believe little by little.With no reconciliation of her past life she needs to put her trust in Xander to learn of the past and carve out a future whatever that may be.
Xander and Skye have a past although she does not remember him she has a strong bond and feels safe only when he is around.The two have a great relationship once Skye learns to trust and open up she starts to remember what they meant to each other and they start to rebuild there connection .Xander is in love even knowing it is forbidden he can't seem to not act on his feeling around Skye and Skye feels the same way towards him.So why not indulge there selves .....
Your heart breaks for this couple knowing that there relationship is doomed from the very beginning and even if it were not because of the forbidden laws those enemies among them will do everything to become between them.I am rooting for them they make a beautiful couple both loving loyal and caring and just perfect for one another.
The story that surrounds the lovers and is filled will tons of danger that is lurking at every corner. Keeping you on the seat of your pants just to see what happens next.The story was filled will love and romance and intrigue all the things that I love when reading a story.It was amazing to see Skye grow and become that strong confident person she always wanted to be. She blossomed right before our eyes.
Wow ! What a ending ! Can you say cliffhanger ? OMG ! I did not want the story to end.I am anxiously awaiting the next sequel.Can you say ?Sitting on pins and needle is more like it.A wonderful and cleverly written story and a recommend read to all whether young or old it needs to be in your to read pile.
You know you have written a fantastic story when the reader finishes the story and then goes back to re-read there favorite parts not wanting to let go quite yet. Into the keeper pile and will be a must re-read in the near future. We are giving this story a 5 star read !(less)

Red mirrored scales race up my arms as the haze of pain blurs my vision. My bones crack, breaking to realign. I scream. It is then that the realization of my unavoidable fate sinks in; I am of a dying race. I am dragon.
Aurora Megalos, orphaned and teetering on the edge of adulthood, thought finding her past would curb the sting of being an outcast. Having no memories of the time before she awoke on her foster mother’s doorstep, she yearns for the emptiness inside her to be filled. With her fellow orphaned best friend, Fenn, by her side, she has nothing to lose and everything to gain. But something powerful stirred within her that she couldn’t explain. Something wanted out.
In the dark of night, a crazed Seer, dubbed Mr.Creepy, erases everything she’s ever known with an impending prophecy. She now faces two paths. Return to her true home to protect a dying race against a growing evil, or stay hidden in the safety of our realm with a shot at a true love. With a vengeful Arch Enemy stopping at nothing to see her dead, she’s running out of time; a decision must be made. What would you choose.
My Thoughts
First off let me say this is a new author for me and this is the first time reading her stories and I have to say that this was a fantastic read.
All the characters in this story were engaging and easy to relate to.All the characters had a story of the own and bits of there past blended with Aurora Megalos future.
At times Aurora did seem a little whiny but, considering the burden she was carrying I will let it pass.Aurora came here from alternate dimension.Her guardian sent her here to protect her from her fate knowing that when the time came those in power would want to kill her off.Aurora was born to a couple who were of a different race one who was a dragon and the other a human making her a mixed bred and a forbidden bred.
Aurora was placed in foster care and shifted around a lot and was not treated kindly.She has now grown up and gone on her own with her long time pal Finn and things are starting to change.
Now that Aurora has almost reached adulthood things start happening to her strange things are happening around her and a lot of unexplainable things are happening.She is in danger. Her past is coming to light.She never felt she belonged she knew that she was different and could not explain why she felt that way she just did.
Aurora meets a seer who gives her strange warnings of things to come.Hints at her past and what she must do to fulfill her destiny.Aurora's destiny is to rule the Dragons and to become the most powerful leader there kind has ever seen.She must go through trials in order to prove she would be the one to lead them.
Aurora and Finns destinies are enter twined. They have been friends for so long things are changing and they both start to have feeling for one another but,Aurora is afraid to act on these feeling not wanting to complicate her friendship.Finn on the other hand wants to pursue it.But,she needs Finn in her life and loves him she just needs time to figure out how they can be together.They make such a cute couple I am rooting for them to find a way to be together Finn is such a cute and sexy protector. Who wouldn't root for him ?
The story unfolds and danger lurked at every corner.Secrets come to light for all those characters involved.We journeyed with Aurora to explore her past and we were with her when she learned about he abilities and that she was part Dragon and how to shape shift.When she forged new friendships.We saw Aurora blossom into a Fearless women and not the women who cowered to her past.
This story had tons of intrigue that always is keeping you on your toes and turning the pages.The story was captivating.It was about healing ones past. Forging new friendships.Becoming the women you new you could be.Finding out who your lost parents were.Learning they let you go to protect you so that you could also have a hand in choosing your own destiny.Learning of your past and being reunited with your love ones.Healing from past hurts. And last but not least dealing with the person you were born to be. Learning to embrace your Dragon side an become whole once again.
This story never had a dull moment .A young adult read not to be missed. A recommended read to all. As a reader I would like to see Aurora in future books and be part of her and Finn's latest adventure.(less)
The sacrifices we make have the power to shift the very fabric of who we are, and ultimately who we are meant to be…
After learning of her true destiny as the intended Leader of the Tydes, Anastasia Whitman must now embark on a perilous quest to the Underworld before the age of eighteen in order to plant the seed of immortality and complete her essence to become a true Sea Goddess. But before she can make her legendary journey, an unexpected new student transfers to Lorelei; initiating a sequence of events that will unravel Stasia’s new life, and test the boundaries of her relationship with the mysterious, dark, and sexy Finn Morrison. The line between the Underworld and the Living begins to blur as gruesome ghosts, morbid reveries, and pure evil haunt her waking hours as well as her sanity. Once the details of Finn’s own startling destiny are revealed, the dangerous secrets he’s been hiding will threaten the very love Stasia believed to be indestructible. As time begins to run out, she will be forced to choose between the one she loves and the destiny she cannot escape.
My Thoughts
Wow ! Another keeper for sure. This continuing story just picked up where the last story left off.I never realized I was reading a new book! How fantastic is that.Another page turner that kept me up all night again but, I am not complaining this book was well worth it !
The danger became even more real for Stasia strangers are in town are now making her life a living hell.What to do ?After learning of her true destiny that she is the intended Leader of the Tydes. She must prepare herself for a quest to gain entrance to the underworld where she will gain her immortality.It is a dangerous quest she needs to learn to control all the powers she been gifted with to use in the up and coming fight. With the help of Finn and her friends she will learn all that she is capable of.Stasia is struggling with all of this its a lot to take on so soon. All these powers are coming so fast she has not been able to control them or learn even to use them to her advantage.She having reveries that she is not understanding.She is able to travel to the past and to the future and present just by dreaming.Learning some very discerning stuff as to what is to become or her...
Love all of character's.They were very brave, funny and characters for sure. We are introduced to even more characters as Stasia roommates are also learning to craft there own powers along with engaging in the dating scene themselves.
Got to say that Carmen was my favorite character this time around. That girl had such a demanding presence about her. She was one tough cookie.She made me laugh more then once with her altercations with Ricker.The couple had a love hate relationship.Carmen and Ricker had a past making there situation even more complicated. But, all the while all the tense fighting and teasing was going on you could tell Ricker truly cared about Carmen. If you ask me he really wore is heart on his sleeve.
Then we have Liam and Willow taking there stab at romance or trying to.There developing romance was slow they seemed to be testing the waters both of them.Well maybe more so Liam he was so painfully shy and Willow a little more bolder I think well, maybe in her mind.But, I really think they will make a really cute couple.One thing that this author did is create all her male love interests to carry on as gentlemen.I just love that.
I have to say that I just loved following Anastasia budding romance with Finn.He just kept getting and better in my eyes.Both are now taking there relationship toward the next level. Finn is an important part of Stasia future as well as her past he knows so much about her that even Stasia doesn't know.
I have to say that I kept getting more and more excited as Stasia learned one ability after another. She was so surprised at herself at the abilities she had mastered and learned to control and command. In a sense they really scared her a bit. She grew even more powerful than even her mother ever was and she held extreme power so you can only imagine the things Stasia was capable of a even surprising Finn.
Not only does Stasia have a destiny to follow so does Finn.He will need to fight is own brother to the death to take his next chosen place as the leader of there clan.Its a fight to the death for both. I can only imagine how that weighed on Finns thoughts and what Finn must have been going through not only worrying about his own path but Stasia's. I had one pet peeve or didn't like about Finn at times it felt as he kept a lot of information to himself about his own clan and destiny and Stasia's at times it seemed like he was trying to hide things.But, then on the other hand maybe he was trying to protect Stasia by not telling.What pressure he must have be under to know what he had to accomplish himself and still protect his love at the same time.
Even more intrigue is happening and even more twists and turns and now even a few road blocks.At this point Stasia and Finns relationship is be put to the test and Anastasia love is being tested.This couple will have to have faith in each other for there love to survive.Bombshells are dropped and are having you wonder if there relationship was nothing but a joke.
I have to say that Stasia's roommates all stepped up to the plate a rallied with Stasia supporting her in her quest to come.Helping anyway they can.You will be amazed to learn the sacrifices her pals were willing to make.They impressed me greatly.
Such a moving story with so many ups and downs so much intrigue and how much we were able to learn about all the characters pasts and what was expected of them for the future.Amazing relationships built on love and friendship being put to the test.
This is a book to be read again and again and will remain in my keeper pile .A recommended read to all ages. A fascinating story not to be missed.(less)

My Thoughts
This is a brand new author with a new series .This is also a brand new author for me and she just wowed me thinking Omg this is such a terrific read.This book was totally amazing.I was just blown away by how good it really was.By far this is the best young adult series I have read this year.I would also like to give props to the author for creating three truly fascinating and maddening addictive stories Forsaken,Awaken and Chosen.What impressed me even more is that Kristen Day is a self published author who brought forth three amazing winners right off the bat!
This story had such a truly amazing cast of characters.I liked them all, Well with a few exceptions I wanted to see those ones get what was there due !The roommates of Stasia's were truly a fascinating group of girls.They brought many laughs and quite a few chuckles to the pages as I was reading.One of the things that impressed me was that the girls were always snacking a eating especially desserts like cup cakes.With so many body conscious teens it was nice to see that this group of girls didn't have any weight issues they were all comfortable in there own skins.Well, they had to be one of Stasia's roommates liked to cook and bake and she did a lot of both.No dorm mates staving here ! LOL
My favorite character was Finn Morrison.I fell in love with is character after reading just a few pages.That was one Hottie !Finn was a amazing guy and even more of an amazing boyfriend to Stasia he was a kind and caring and always put Stasia first and was there for her when ever she needed a shoulder to cry on or just someone to talk to.Finn definitely had a helping hand in shaping and guiding Stasia into the women she would become one day soon.Finn was tall dark and dangerously handsome a boy from the underworld the Demon world.The aura always surrounding Finn was dark but, he was just the nicest guy to his friends but, deadly foe to his enemies and those of Stasia's.Wish I had a guy like that sigh....
Stasia would have to be my second favorite.What a truly amazing girl to deal with the abandonment of her parents .Always knowing you were different and trying to be normal just to fit in.Always working at it making it an exhausting process.She was adopted into a rich family who never really tried to get to know the real Stasia just thinking she was crazy.But, one shrink determined what was wrong with her and placed her in a school for gifted children like herself learning that she was different not insane but, born from a Goddess.All her oddness visions blackouts all made sense finally she was coming into the powers that her parents had passed on to her not knowing who or where she came from.Can you imagine learning your mother was a mystical creature all and mighty powerful Goddess ?
Love the ease that Stasia had with her roommates it was refreshing no fighting or petty jealousies between the roommates they all got along were funny engaging and had the true making of a long and lasting friendships for all of them.Each would give there life for one another without even giving it a second thought.All of Stasia friends had there own mystical powers and all were born of the Tyde clan giving them a different talent to heal, command water, command the sand.None of them should ever be underestimate they were all powerful in there own right.The slow and budding romance between Finn and Stasia was truly endearing.Finn being a modern man but, being old fashion enough to actually court his girl like the old days. So romantic...
This novel was totally engrossing and quite the page turner, Read this book in one sitting by staying up all night without ever going to bed just to finish it.It was truly a magical read just couldn't put the book down.The story had so much excitement so many twists and turns .You learn someone or somebody's were plotting to kill you without having a clue why ?
The story was about learning about your one true self. Where you came from.Who you are destined to be.Forging lasting friendships that would last ones lifetime.Finally finding a place that you belonged and felt that you fit somewhere for the first time ever. Last but not least being in a relationship with the one who could truly own your heart helping your heal from past hurts.All of the gals are so jealous they all want a boyfriend like Finn.Including me ! LOL
This is a must read for all. Even if you don't read young adult books this book and the others in its series are a must in your To Read Pile that keeps growing for all of us.I cannot say enough good things about this book it was so much fun and such and engaging read.It just blew me away how much I enjoyed it! .Kristen definitely has a new fan in me ! So excited that this series with be continuing not ending.... (less)

My Thoughts
Let me start off by saying that this is my first book by Terry Spears and she didn't disappoint me and won't be the last. I love her style of writing.This plot was filled with great characters and had a smooth flowing plot with bits of intrigue and danger and a very endearing couple who found romance and love and one's mate among the danger and intrigue going on around them.The book was a page turner from the very first page couldn't wait to see what happened next.
I have to say that Duncan and Shelley were very likable characters and easy to relate to.Duncan won my heart from the very beginning of the story with his good deed straight off the bat and I knew then that I was going to fall in love with him ! Ah....
Duncan is on a mission to go a find the man who has stolen there fortune which brings him to the Caribbean where the thief is hiding out in his compound.Without the funds return the clan will fall to ruin.It's up to Duncan to get the funds back and restored to his Laird who is also his brother before its to late.Here on the island he meets Shelley Campbell botanist who is on the island to study the old growth forests who turns out to be a mesmerizing little werewolf who he meets at the airport.
Who would of thought running into another of your kind on a Caribbean Island know less !Duncan's attraction to the sexy wolf is not one he needs to have when he is on a mission ! But, fate has other ideas...when the one that Duncan is stalking takes and interest in his pretty little werewolf he now has a new complication he did not need.Now, he is thinking there will have to be a new plan as her safety is most important.
Although this couple has gone to the island for different reasons and neither on vacation like most people would be they both turn to one another when both are in need of help.The attraction between this couple is explosive from the onset.Shelley and Duncan made the cutest couple even though Duncan is looking at there situation as a fling and no more.
Shelley surprised me. I found her to be witty and funny and tough as nails when she needed to be.Love -able and loyal and fierce when those threaten who and what she cares about.Who would have thought that the little botanist was a warrior at heart !And Duncan a fierce Highlander with a loving and caring side to him.Protective and loyal and dangerously sexy with and aura that says danger....
Just loved this story all around and if I could give it more than five stars I would.This story contained all the things I love shape-shifters wolves and great plot that had you so engrossed because it was constantly changing bringing more danger at every turn wondering what next ? Loved the developing romance between this couple.There were tons of sexy encounters for you to read about among and some really hot sex scenes that would have anyone salivating!And of course a few tears and laughter.But, most of all Duncan ,who touched my heart with his big Highlander heart both fierce and protective of not only when it came to Shelley but, that of the way he spoke of his Laird and clan and family had your heart melting. I was In love right from the very beginning.I was glad to be on Duncan's adventure with him were danger lurked at every turn taking you for one heck of a ride. And I loved the setting of this book.It had me intrigued that you would put a brawny highlander smack dab in the middle of a Caribbean ! The descriptions of the tropical island and that of Duncan's home had you feeling that you were right there with them.And most of all you got to love it when a mere slip of she-wolf brings a fierce hunky highlander to his knees. That's Priceless ! A excellent read just Loved it.
Recommended read to all ! After reading this story and just had to go an order the rest of Terry Spears books and did just that !The finished book went into my keeper pile and has earned a new place among all my other favorite books.You know that you have written a great book when the reader can't wait to read the book all over again after just finishing it!.(less)
Ravena MacAllister doesn’t want to admit what she is. She wants to continue pretending she’s just human … only human, like her mother, like her friends.
But she isn’t human.
Heartbreak and betrayal send her off rushing to Scotland, to a familiar haven where she has spent so many summers with her father, but she soon discovers that everything has changed.
From the moment she meets Quinn MacValdane, shock waves travel through him to her and back again, wrapping them in a tide of passion she had never dreamed possible. But if they are to have a future together, she must confront who and what she is, for she will need to call on the powers within her as she becomes embroiled in an adventure that will alter her life forever.
The time for pretending is over.
My Thoughts
Lets start off by saying this is one awesome author. Since the first time I picked up one of her novels I was hooked. Claudy's novels are so engaging and filled with tons of romance and adventure. Love her books and they only kept getting better and better.
Wow ! What a way to start off this new series with a serious bang.This novel was a page turner from the being to end !What a great plot to keep you engaged right from page one.
The story is about Ravena MacAllister who is always been different from others but, never really wanted to admit she was different with very special abilities.She wanted to be human so never really explored her special talents . A broken heart takes her off to Scotland to spend the summer with her father but, once there never realizing that she will be asked to participate in and adventure where she will have no choice but to acknowledge her powers and put her powers to the test.
Then we have the sexy shape-shifter who was cursed and sent back in time Quinn MacValdane and no other can bring him forth but ,Ravena MacAlister. Evil forces are at work and time is an issue making it a life and death situation.
I have to say that the characters in this story were all great loved them all even the bad ones ! (LOL)
There was really a tie for the most likable character but I loved Ravena and Quinn both equally. Just love reading time travel novels a lot so I was so glad to get to read about Ravena and Quinn's adventure.Quinns grand-father confides in Ravena that he needs her help to release Quinn from the curse that has plagued him and his family.
Quinn MacValdane had left his guard down seventy-five years ago and the evil Andrew MacPoole managed to send him through the Quicksilver portal where he couldn't get back to his castle due to a curse.The prophesy says there is one one person who would be able to release Quinn from this curse and Ravena seems to be his chosen mate and the one who would be able to end his entrapment and return him to the future.
Love this adventure. There was so much intrigue going on in the now and its past. The story kept you so engrossed never knowing what would happen next.There is dangering lurking and every turn. It seems that the one who put the curse on Quinn may be dabbling in black magic as well and is a Royal Fae to boot.Andrew MacPoole has a story of his own making him and even more intriguing and more dangerous than any of the others.A dangerous Fae with many faces...
Loved the descriptions of the beautiful lands of where Quinn was living.Secrets are unfolded and rhymes and poems are deciphered in order to help Ravena with her quest. The first moment she sees Quinn through the Quicksilver glass she is drawn to Quinn and is having and overwhelming attraction to him like no other.Quinn feels the same for Ravena but, one thing he knows about Ravena from the beginning is she is his life-mate and the only thing he will need to do is convince her of it and in the same breath find a way to be able to carve out a future and hope to break the curse while doing it.
The romance between Ravena and Quinn was a sweet one. Ravena coming from a recent breakup is not wanting a romantic involvement.But, Ravena's hormones are dancing to a different tune!Quinn was a clever handsome fellow and just a down to earth sweet guy who had a sense of humor and new to tread carefully with Ravena giving him the patience of a saint . Ahhh ....Not So easy for a Highlander and a shape-shifter wolf to do as they are bossy and protective all of the time even more so when there instinct takes over knowing that you will die to protect your mate and loved ones.
There were quiet a few surprises I did not see coming but, did have one pleasant surprise and that was that Prince Breslyn found his way into the story as he is definitely a favorite character of mine from Claudy's other novels giving me a huge smile !.
This novel goes into the keeper pile for me as well as Claudy others books. You know you have written a great book when you have the reader looking forward to reading the story all over again.This novel had all the things that book a great book good plot, lots of surprises that keep you own your toes, secrets coming to light and a great romance that forms between two great characters ! This novel will make you laugh and cry and say OMG what next ?
Claudy Conn has done a fantastic job in introducing us to her new characters and up and coming series !
Accustomed to running wild with her Lycan brothers in the swamps of Louisiana, Miss Liviana Mayeux is shipped off to London where Lady Hadley offers to sponsor and assist her. Before she knows it, Vivi finds herself in the middle of a pack of English wolves who are all vying for her attention. But Lady Hadley's handsome son Grayson is determined to keep her out of trouble. If only he knew how...
My Thoughts and Review
Always looking forward to reading Lydia Dares books I do enjoy them and love this series.
I enjoyed this read as the characters were a lot of fun to read about.Grayson being a black sheep of the family so to speak .Then there is Liviana the feisty werewolf with a tart tongue.Both character's give as good as they get with there banner of words they are well matched opponents for one another.
Grayson and Liviana meet when Grayson and his mother are paying a call to a neighbor. Liviana was sent to her grand-father from America by her father forcing her to become a lady and finally settle down and marry giving up here carefree lifestyle and wayward ways. Liviana will not going willingly and so the adventure begins.
From the very first meeting between Liviana and Grayson you sense there chemistry that they have between them.The thing is that Liviana is most bold and lets Grayson know that she knows exactly what he is giving him a total shock and setting him of guard.And in return she shows him a marking on her person letting him know exactly what she is.The playing field is now leveled !
These two have incredible chemistry and sexual tension between them yet knowing nothing will ever become of it as her grandfather will never approve of the match even if they acted on there feelings there pending romance would bed oomed from the get go.
I enjoyed this story a lot.The characters made you laugh quiet a lot throughout the story making this story a fun read.I do however have a couple of things that I did not like though . One of them is the fact that Liviana mother left England because of the rigid society she lived in yet Liviana's father is now sending his daughter to England to experience those same constraints society puts on women making it no less then a prison .And the very one reason her mother left to go to America in the first place. I just wanted to smack him! What the heck was he thinking?Was he trying to break her spirit and her self worth ?
My only other complaint is that I felt the romance between the couple when it finally did happened that it was a bit rushed.The couple had gone to great pains to fight the attraction between them for so long that I expected to be so wowed and I expected to see an explosive encounter when it did happen that all and all it would have been worth the pain and suffering this couple had to endure to finally be together.But no fireworks ...
But, the over all story was a pleasant read. Liviana made this story engrossing as she was just so feisty and full of vigor that you new she was a worthy adversary and she would somehow find a way out of her situation.As as for the dreamy good for nothing Rake Grayson you feel his pain as he does not feel worthy of Liviana as he feels he has nothing to really offer her .Even though he feels all of this he can't stop feeling predatory toward her and it may be the down fall for both of them.
We meet Liviana brothers who stir up the pot making the story even more livlier.And the pages are graced by past characters which I so enjoy from story to story.Be sure to read the entire series along with this current story you won't be disappointed it was a fantastic series ! Loved it ! And as always looking forward to the next book....

About Book
Shadow's Claim features Prince Trehan, a ruthless master assassin who will do anything to possess Bettina, his beautiful sorceress mate, even compete for her hand in a blood-sport tournament—to the death.
He won't be denied...
Trehan Daciano, known as the Prince of Shadows, has spent his life serving his people, striking in the night, quietly executing any threat to their realm. The coldly disciplined swordsman has never desired anything for himself—until he beholds Bettina, the sheltered ward of two of the Lore's most fearsome villains.
She's bound to another...
Desperate to earn her guardians' approval after a life-shattering mistake, young Bettina has no choice but to marry whichever suitor prevails—even though she's lost her heart to another. Yet one lethal competitor, a mysterious cloaked swordsman, invades her dreams, tempting her with forbidden pleasure.
A battle for her body and soul...
Even if Trehan can survive the punishing contests to claim her as his wife, the true battle for Bettina's heart is yet to come. And unleashing a millennium's worth of savage need will either frighten his Bride away—or stoke Bettina's own desires to a fever-pitch.
My Thoughts
Let me start of by saying that Kresley Cole is one of my top favorite authors.I have purchased all her books and read them all and she never seems to disappoint me.I love them all ! I also have to mention that the cover to this latest novel is just awesome. If I had been browsing and seen this sitting on the shelf I would have picked it up for the cover alone . (lol) Crazy right ? But, I do that sometimes ...
This newest series is off to a great start.Looking forward to the books to the series as they follow!
I normally try not to play favorites (who am I kidding ) with the characters I am reading about but, Trehan Daciano had be falling in love with him from the very first pages and that love grew even more as I read on about him.He was just a delight and totally delicious!Trehan was and ancient immortal vampire from a race that was hidden from others. He was mysterious and elusive never fully exposing the cards he held.But, always words were whispered about him calling him the Prince of Shadows a deadly killing machine known only to his foes ! Even though Trehan was a dangerous piece of work he did have a softer side to him that he never reveals to anyone besides his intended bride.As Trehan began to court Bettina we also saw his character grow as well where he becomes a bit softer and more of an understanding person not so deadly all the time.That was quiet a feat for an ancient vampire ! (lol) The passionate love scenes between Bettina and himself were explosive and they officially hadn't even made love yet .He was a passionate and gentle and a understanding lover giving more than taking.
I made the mistake of starting this novel later at night around bedtime and that was a serious mistake but, I had so be looking forward to this new read. I could not put the book down once I started it I tried and couldn't.So there I was still reading as the sun began to rise and I was still reading!Wow ! what a page turner as the book was action packed from beginning to the end!
Never went to bed that night! The Book was well worth it !
Bettina is a princess destined to be the Queen of Abaddon.It took me awhile to warm up to her character.I found her to have blinders on all the time when she was around her long time best friend Caspion who she thought she was in love with.He was nothing but, a selfish man whore who only thought about himself. Yes, he did love Bettina as a little sister but, was oblivious as to her true feeling for him hurting her over and over with his selfish deeds and actions even after she told him how she truly felt.Sometimes I just wanted to slap Bettina a few times to wake her up and see him for who he really was instead of making excuses for his selfish actions !That being said Bettina blossomed into a very interesting and strong character.She was a Royal princess who got to live among the morals for a bit and indulged in her passion of creating fashions and later horned those skills a became a sought out jewelry designer. Her designs we beautifully crafted and deadly.
The story developed into a love triangle of sort.The story as it progressed got more and more complex.The lovers were drawn into a dangerous game where Bettina's Godmother and Uncle put it about that there was to be a competition to all those who would participate they would have to fight each other to the death for her hand in marriage and also become King of Abaddon. All of the characters who entered were the best of the best and suppose to be deadly in the own right.Ms. Cole introduced us to a lots of new interesting species.This made this developing story even more intriguing and exciting. We saw Bettina who you think to be a bit mousy grow some really big claws and we see her grow into a force to be reckoned with!
All in all the book was a total page turner for me.Lots of intrigue keeping you on the seat of your pants most of the time .The blood thirsty battles keep your heart racing .The developing love story between Bettina and Trehan was a touching one he worked so hard to win her affections risking his kingship and all that he has ever known just for a chance at love.He should have been given a medal for patience alone ! (lol)
A recommended read to all be sure to add it to your to read pile! If yours is like mind its always growing.... (less)

5 stars
Her name is Nikki Walker, and she is a vampire slayer. She never thought she would have to use her slayer powers…but she does. She is on the trail of an ancient and secretive vampire called Deadly Moon, and Nikki wants her dead. She has her reasons. His name is Damon Drummond who some of you have met before, and already know that he is a hunk of an unusual vampire. He is bent on keeping Nikki away from Deadly Moon. The sociopath vampire, WB, who had been Pentim Rawley’s right hand man has taken over the Pentim clan, and is turning out to be even more of a problem than his predecessor had been. In fact, if someone doesn’t do something soon…Dublin will go dark under his power, and other cities will follow. Damon and Nikki are on opposite sides. He is a potent vampire--she is a skilled and powerful vampire slayer. Problem right there…but, when they look at each other, sparks of all kinds fly. Too much stands between them. He will live forever…she will not…and yet…
My Thoughts and Review
Oh My ! This series keeps getting better and better. Who would have thought a vampire and a vampire slayer not me ! I am just so loving this series it is nice to be excited by a new author its been a while for me so this is a nice treat.Claudy's books are just full of mysteries and by that I mean her characters they are all so mysterious and are not what they all seem on the surface and yet so much more.
We met Damon in book one of the series and I was falling for him then with his mysterious ways about him and his talk and dark brooding looks but, after reading his story I am totally in love.He is tall dark and dangerous and a very powerful and yet has a caring and sensitive side to the 1000 plus year old vampire that one would not expect.Nikki Walker vampire slayer is on the war path to avenge her brothers death.. But , at every turn Damon is in her way.The person Nikki is after is a very close friend of Damon's and he just cannot believe she would murder someone in cold blood even for a vampire.
The two go round and round.Damon is so much more then a vampire and Nikki does sense this he knows way to much about her. He says she has untapped powers that need to be released in order to fight the war they have ahead of them. War she is not here for war she is here for one purpose only and that is to kill the vampire that killed her brother.
Nikki and Damon make and odd couple right? A slayer and a ancient vampire? These two have a connection whether they want one or not the sparks are always there between these two.You feel heartache for the couple as there looks to be no future for the both of them one mortal and one immortal.
Nikki and Damon team up for whats ahead and develop a relationship not knowing were it would take them they will have to just have to live in the moment right ? New characters are introduced to us and the people who look the most normal have secrets themselves and it is so hard to trust anyone as they are not who they seem.Chad from book one graces our pages in this story and I was glad to see him there as Damon and he have developed a lasting relationship.
The story had so much going on that you need to pay attention so many developments coming to life.The story was a page turner from the very beginning trouble followed Nikki everywhere.We saw her grow more powerful throughout the story which would have made her brother Jack very proud .They story was full with wonders and laughs and magic and so much more.The Camaraderie between the two main characters had me smiling on a off throughout the book. More of the puzzle comes to light but, the danger is still there and they are all still in for another adventure.The stories new characters were all so amazing I am talking about the good one of course not the bad ones ! LOL Just love them all ..
This was another amazing read and and enjoyable tale .As always can't wait to read the next in the series to see what happens next I am on pins and needles!A recommended read to all and Claudy is at the top of the list for people to read in my book anyway. Kept the stories coming Claudy...........your biggest fan............(less)

angelswithattitudebooreviews-joelle.blogspot.com
When love and war makes a little wager, what could possibly go wrong? I am Hephaestus. God of inventions, blacksmiths, and volcanoes. Sounds like I'm awesome right? Well, I'm not. In fact, I'm the loser of Olympus and a new bachelor to boot. Living the single life is great until a decade passed. Honestly if my divorce from the Goddess of Love wasn't bad enough, I am still being rejected by the other women of my home. Because of an incessant need to make me a pawn in his game, my brother, Ares convinces Eros to make a little bet. A wager that puts my lack of love life to the test. Sent to Earth, I'm skeptical, when suddenly I lose myself in the sensual scent and beauty of the full bodied Vanessa. She is my everything, my perfection. Sadly, from a single caress upon her silky flesh, I sent our lives into a downward spiral of hell. To save her, I must get beyond my demons of the past. And to save me, she will have to decide if I'm worth giving up everything for. HOT EROTIC EXCERPT: Without a word, she took her hands, her delicate fingers opening her folds, displaying the one place I was truly welcomed and digging my fingertips into her fleshy pelvis, I plunged back into her heat. No longer gentle, my hips swiveled, my other hand taking hold of her, stopping her own hips from arching up. I wanted to control how deep, how fast, and how much she would get. Despite not being able to fit all of my length inside her, I became familiar to how much she could take and pushed past that limit, until only half an inch of my skin was left without the cocoon of her sweet tender flesh. It was a small sacrifice, one that was lost as my power pulsed through my veins, the climax I'd held back, roaring to life, as the magma of a volcano before eruption. Both our bodies were coated from our exertions and stretching my abilities, I pushed into every exposed orifice she had, metaphysical fingers, probing and teasing. I heard her deep gasp, seconds before she shrieked out expletives with a "sweet Jesus and Mary", as her body convulsed, and her head thrashed from side to side on her pillow. A desperate delight filled Vanessa's pleading screams and helpless moans with an ecstasy that she may have believed brought her to a little bit of erotic orientated death.
My Thoughts and Review
My first read by D.X. Luc and it was an awesome one. A totally enjoyable read.I had so much fun reading this story it had me laughing quite thoroughly through out the whole book.I have never read a book concerning the Gods before thinking it will be quite boring but, I was so wrong.The characters were awesome both good and evil ones playing the game of cat and mouse between them with a mere mortal in the middle of the deceitful web of a game in play.
I start reading the book around 10 o'clock at night and could not put it down its now 3am and I am finally finished and thinking wow what and awesome book glad to have read it!I had been kind of down in the dumps of having surgery tomorrow and this read gave me the pick me up in needed.It was full with an interesting plot intriguing , interesting characters and broken God of sorts thinking will I ever find my one true love.
A bet led him into the mortal world to find his one true love !
Hephaestus: God of inventions, blacksmiths, and volcanoes. Looking for his "one".
Vanessa: Full bodied, regular gal. Doubts finding love when she's a big girl living in a thin person's world.
Ares: God of War and pain in his brother's side.
Eros: God of Love.
Willa: Vanessa's eccentric and loving younger sister.
These were the character above and there role they played.Vanessa will have to prove her worth in order to become a Goddess to be with Hephaestus but, there are continuing stumbling blocks in her way that she must overcome does she have what it takes? If not she will pay with her life and Die.When the story started out with so much heartache and pain for both lovers you thought that there is no hope at all you felt the pain of both parties but love is the best motivator there is to find love in happiness in one Gods immortal world!
My only thought was that Vanessa and her family were different from others of there mortal world did they have a secret of the own perhaps ?leaving we wondering a bit ? lol....
A Recommended read to all 18 + and over. Full of hot sex and with intriguing plot.And a twist that takes you for a surprise at the end but, a most enjoyable one ! Love Love Loved it !Looking forward to the next book in its series....

5 stars
Enter a world of fierce wolves, stunning magic and romance...
It’s bad enough feeling different among the human crowd, but feeling different among wolves?
No one said returning to her pack would be easy, especially after ten years without them, but seventeen year old Caia Ribeiro is unprepared for the realities of the transition. Raised in a world where kids aren’t scared by bedtime tales of the bogeyman but by the real life threat of enemy supernaturals who might come creeping into their community to kill them in their sleep, Caia is used to the darkness; she’s used to the mystery and the intrigue of the ancient underworld war she’s bound to by chance of birth. What she’s having trouble with are pack members treating her with wary suspicion, the Elders tucking secrets behind their backs out of her sightline, and her young Alpha, Lucien, distracting her, with a dangerous attraction, from her decision to uncover the truth.
But as the saying goes ‘the truth will out’ and when it does, Caia will only have so long to prepare herself before the war comes pounding on their door threatening to destroy the safe, secret lives of the wolves… and the girl they protect.
YA Paranormal Romance recommended for ages 16 and up.
My Thoughts and Review
Wow ! Were to start! What a great book and it is off to being a great series. I have not read a book of late that had me so engrossed in there book that when it was time to take my bath that I didn't want to put the book down and brought my kindle with me to keep reading.Just love her style of writing and the humor that she puts into it making you chuckle.All the characters were like-able and lending there part to making this book an enjoyable story.Caia was my favorite in the story she had so much going on in her life to deal at first you thought she was going to be this meek little girl boy was I wrong she turned out to be a firecracker with lots of gumption.Caia is not only a wolf but also a witch who has many powers that she has not even discover and mastered.Because of her abilities and who she is someone wants her dead.She is learning what it is to be living with a pack she is trying to stay alive while learning of her past and of her new abilities and falling in love with the Alpha's pack leader Lucien and making friends all at the same time.I was glad to be on the ride with her.This book was quite the page turner full of life adventure,magic,secrets, shape-shifters and love and romance all the things I love that make reading a story so enjoyable for me. I have now put Samantha Young at the top of my list of my favorite authors she has found a new fan in me.Would recommended this book to all readers and is now in my keeper pile to be read again at a later date.Glad I finally tackled my to read pile lol...(less)

My Thoughts and Review
Standing in at the Library I saw the cover of this book and picked it up without reading what it was about.Ever do that?Well glad I did. This is my first book by Laurie and hope to read more of her books it was a fabulous read right from the first page.The book had tons to keep you interested in. A story plot of good Guardian vampires protecting the Sweetbloods from Rogue vampires.Something about a Sweetblood's blood is additive like crack.The characters of the book were engaging and lots of fun to read about.
Jackson and Arianna were the main characters of the book the were quirky and fun.The two developed a romance after he goes to protect her from her own miss deeds.She runs a paranormal blog and she writes about paranormal activities.She witnessed a kidnapping of her cousin and got it on camera and reported all of this on her blog exposing herself and vampires to the whole world creating tons of danger.
The two develop and light fun romance and of course filled with tons danger but, it seems that Arianna will turn out to be his savior and maybe not the other way around.The book was action packed from beginning to the end with all kinds of things going on and a mystery to solve as well.It was a light fun read that I finished in a couple of hours and would recommended it to all readers.(less)

My Thoughts and Review
I picked this book up today and I have to say it was a delight. Even though it was a short read I found myself smiling laughing and chuckling at some of the words and discussions that Nathaniel and Abby were having. These two made a awesome pair.This was a fun light read and as other reviewers are saying we had wished it was more. Perhaps we will see this duo again in another tale .Looking forward to checking out some of the other stories by Rachel in the future.(less)

Description
Lynsay never believed in ghosts and always nodded indulgently when the old timers in the theater tried to convince her otherwise. But two sexy ghosts have been watching her, and waiting. When they appear to her, she hesitates despite the desire that immediately burns in her veins. At first she wonders how she can trust the two mysterious men, but soon she convinces herself how foolish it would be to resist them. Yet even as she indulges in all the pleasures they offer her, she doesn’t confess her true feelings. She never imagined giving her heart to more than one man in the first place, so how can she give it to two men who aren’t even alive?
Excerpt:
Lynsay looked into John’s eyes as William watched. She reached over and touched his cheek, and he gripped her hand and brought it to his lips. “The past is the past,” John said. “We’re thinking of now.” He kissed his way over her wrist and up her arm.
When their lips met, William joined them, standing on the other side of her and putting his arms around both of them.
“After hearing you say you wanted two men to make love to you at the same time, William had to hold me back to keep me from touching you,” John said after their lips parted.
“I would have gotten over Brian much quicker if you had,” she said, leaning into John.
“Are you saying yes, Lynsay?” William asked.
She turned to look into his eyes. “John said it was high time you two ‘came courting,’ didn’t he?”
William nodded, wanting to taste her lips again as he watched John nuzzle her neck.
“Then court me,” she said, flicking her eyes between him and John.
John raised his eyebrows. “I court pretty aggressively.”
Lynsay smiled and looked back at William. “Does he?”
William laughed. “I would say so. After two weeks of working together, he pulled me into an empty room and stuck his tongue down my throat while his hand found its way down my pants.”
Her mouth popped open, but she didn’t say anything. She closed it, but then she ran her tongue over her lower lip. “Did he? Did you like that?”
John stood just as William began to speak. “You bet he did,” John said, pulling William into his arms. John drew William’s lower lip between his teeth and sucked, sending a pulse of desire down to his groin. William closed his eyes and gave in to him, letting John kiss him and hold him. He felt John’s cock harden as their bodies touched. When John broke the kiss and began nibbling at his neck, William looked at Lynsay.
Her gaze was fixed on them as they embraced, her breathing shallow and her look hungry.
“He’s amazing,” William whispered as he stared into her entrancing eyes. “His mouth does the most wicked things.”
She swallowed and kept watching for a few moments, but then she looked away. William gave John a little shake and pulled out of his arms.
“All jokes aside, is that what you want? You want to be wooed?” William asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I want to know you, both of you, first.” She smiled, shaking her head. “I’m a little muddled right now.”
“Then we’ll leave you for now, so you can think,” William said. He turned to John. “Right?”
He could feel that John didn’t want to leave, but after a brief glance at him, John looked at her and nodded with a smile. “Yes. We will. I don’t know what I’d do without him.” He looked up at the ceiling and laughed before looking between the two of them. “Probably earn myself quite a hard slap.”
To William’s relief, Lynsay laughed as well. “Maybe. Maybe not. How about we see each other tomorrow?”
Both men nodded, and William grabbed John’s hand, making them both disappear before John could say or do anything else.
This was a cute little short story about a Theater stage designer who encounters 2 male ghost William and John who have be dead since 1952. They were a item back then but, only in secret. Lynsay is sort of lonely and they have been drawn to her for sometime but, admired her from a far, She breaks up with her boyfriend and they decide now to pursue her and make themselves known to her. Come Courting as they say made me chuckle.The threesome get to know one another and find themselves in a steamy relationship which Lynsay is adapting to quite well as she always dreamed about making love to two men its been one of her fantasies.Lynsay doesn't know it yet but, she is the key to William and Johns future while possible creating a happily ever after for them all. This story was endearing two lovers who have loved for centuries who care about one another and have found love in there hearts for another.Can two men love the same women without jealousness between them and have the kind of relationship they have always dream of ?This was a enjoyable read but, this is not for all.The sexual scenes were hot having menage and also men enjoying other men.After reading Marie Medina book I would definitely give her other books a try. And Erotic novel not over done.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Sydney Croft's Taken by Fire.
Feel the heat. Hear the roar. The fever has begun...
There’s a storm rising. Electricity crackles in the air. For Kira Donovan, it’s that time of year again: when the need floods her flesh, when almost any man—the bigger and the stronger the better—will do. For Kira, an animal psychic, the heat is a matter of life and death, and this year it has come at just the right time. Tom Knight, a natural-born predator, has arrived at her isolated Idaho farm—for reasons all his own. . . .
At first Kira isn’t interested in Knight’s motives. She only needs him—his body, his hands, his scent. But soon, through a daze of desire and distrust, Kira discovers Knight’s world—the world of a covert operative, one man among dozens of secret agents waging an astonishing global war. Knight’s mission is to bring Kira—kicking and screaming if necessary—into the Agency for Covert Rare Operatives and harness her extraordinary gift. He never expected the powerful emotions she would ignite in him, or the fierce desire to keep her safe from harm.

I have to say this was one hot book from beginning to end! I love this series.This book is not for the faint of heart and very erotic and explicit.This is an on going series and I have read the books out of order and didn't have a hard time following what was going on.
The main story was really about Kira and Tom Knight. Kira is a animal whisper and Tom is on assignment to recruit Kira into his organization ARCO which is a unit filled with people for extreme paranormal abilities very odd ones at that. Tom is recruited as a Farm hand where Kira works and she has no idea what he is really up to.He is given orders to kill her if she doesn't cooperate.
Kira is a animal whisper with the capabilities of talking to animals and sensing there emotions.She herself is special too. Once a year Kira goes into a seasoned heat where she needs to have sex every 4 hours or she can literally die if she doesn't receive it!The heat last four weeks so she needs things in place to be serviced every 4 hours as needs a mans seed in order to survive! What a bitch !Kira has choose's Tom as her mate for her seasoned heat spell.Tom on the other hand has no problem with helping her out but, he really doesn't know what he in for she dangerous!There's already a problem at the ranch when he arrives another operative is already there and not a good one but, a very dangerous one .The mission begins they are on the run and dangerous people are out to take them out they must do what they need to out smart and out wit.
While on the run passions runs HOT! Two loners learning to trust and depend on one another and even learn to care for one another which is a first for both of them. While the story is playing out you learn a little bit more about Creed and Ani story, Devin and Oz's story and Remy and Haley grace the pages from previous books.
I like all the characters in the book they blended well together. I liked the premise of Kira being a animal whisper and you have to think to yourself she must have amazing abilities of an organization ARCO wants her that she doesn't even realize she has.She is amazing with the animals and warms your heart. I laughed out loud and cried so many times throughout this book my husband was teasing me. The characters in this book have amazing abilities so its exciting to see what they will do next. A journey of danger wrought with suspense.Secrets coming to life a rekindle romance healing old war wounds and learning to love and hope for a happily every after.And some amazing hot sexual adventure !
Erotic Hot recommended read to all! This book and its series!(less)
