M…Make Me – 05/09/2013 – ★★

This was a very brief sequel to the book Bloodlines but it didn't really go anywhere ... it was PWP with a brief set up for the next book in the series ... disappointing given the potential left un-developed in the first book in the series.

B…Bloodlines – 05/09/2013 – ★★★

A fairly typical shifter story ... nice without being great ... good characters ... smexy ... solid plot ... unfortunately, no wow factor.

S…Something in the Way He Needs
E…Easy
P…Paradise – 05/09/2013 – ★★

This story was so cheesy I actually cringed at times ... there were also a couple of consistency issues which jumped out at me and some frankly ignorant assumptions made about gay men's relationships ... when the character started talking about which one of them would be the 'girl' I nearly stopped reading ... if you like your romance cliché and cheesy with no real substance, then this is the short for you.
