Phoenix Rising was my most anticipated Fortis story because I fell madly in love with Daniel in the previous book. This book is edgy, sexy, and packed with action as the Fortis guys continue to battle the madness that is the Divine Watchers.

I've been so excited for this book simply because I could not wait for more of Daniel. In Arctic Fire, I discovered a badasx Daniel who was dark, dominant, yet, tender, protective, and loving. I wanted to sink into him and roll around in him. While Daniel was Zack's second-in-command, he never really took centre stage. He was the widower whose wife had died a tragic death and a single dad. He managed to juggle caring for his young daughter and his responsibilities at Fortis, and with the support and care of his Fortis buddies, he managed to survive. I loved that Megan confused him. I loved that he struggled with his feelings for her as he dealt with his guilt over moving on from his wife's death. I loved that he cared what it meant to his daughter that he was bringing another woman into their lives. But most of all, I loved that he had a dark side which made him mysterious, demanding, and a bit of an asshole. I wanted to wrap myself in that aspect of him.

I honestly didn't know how I would feel about Megan. When she was rescued from the clutches of the Divine Watchers I felt like she was very much a victim. Innocent, isolated, sheltered. But the Megan we get to know here is coming into her own. She's intelligent, sassy, and sweet. She knows what she wants and what she deserves in life, particularly from the man she loves. She won't settle for second best and she knows she doesn't deserve to play second fiddle to anyone. I liked that she voiced her desires and her opinions, and she didn't let Daniel walk all over her or tuck her away to the side. I also liked that she was brave enough to do something that put her in danger and yet was willing to deal with that danger for the betterment of others. She could have stayed pampered and protected, but didn't.

I like that Ms Wade gives us a glimpse into the character for the next book and I think Will's book is going to be full of surprises. He has hidden depths to him and lots of secrets. I can't wait to find out more about him.

Thanks for continuing to write an engaging series with characters who become like friends and family. I feel like I've grown to know and love them all. Looking forward to the next book.

Trinity is the first in a new paranormal reverse harem with a female alpha wolf shifter and her mates. Trinity will sweep you away with as emotion and action overtake your senses.

I'll be honest. I wasn't sure what to expect with this stor Trinity is the first in a new paranormal reverse harem with a female alpha wolf shifter and her mates. Trinity will sweep you away with as emotion and action overtake your senses.

I'll be honest. I wasn't sure what to expect with this story when I read it. I've enjoyed most of Ms Akeroyd's work in the past but this is the first time she's attempted wolf shifters, and the combination of wolf shifters and fated mates is a beloved trope of mine. I needed her to do it justice. On top of that, I was coming off a reading a bad book I didn't finish, and I needed this to wash the bad taste out of my mouth. I started reading feeling a bit cranky. No pressure there at all, Ms Akeroyd.

Let's start with the fact that Ms Akeroyd totally rocked it with this book. It was emotional, and it had heart. The characters were real, relatable, and they communicated with an authenticity that made me feel connected to them. My litmus test for how good a story is often revolves around how much it moves me. Does it make me feel? And does it make me misty-eyed? This did both.

My heart ached for Rafe when I met him. His suffering as a Gamma wolf in his pack was horrendous, and even more so those of his fellow Gammas - male and female alike. While Rafe might be the lowest of the low on the totem pole that is the hierarchy of wolf shifter politics, he's also unusual. He's not a wimp, he's successful, he's a doctor to humans, and a healer to the wolf shifters. And though his rank cows him in the pack, he has a hidden depth to him and talents that were as yet unrealised. He certainly wouldn't be the mate of a TriAlpha princess if he were in any way weak. Instead, he is the heart and soul, and comfort that Thalia needs in the face of all the adversity she has faced her entire life. He's the one who makes her feel whole and complete.

I loved Thalia. She's been exiled for close to a decade by her parents, and she's suffered horribly for it. It's a testament to her strength that she's not stark, raving mad after having little to no human contact for the entire time. And yet, Thalia is all power and strength through her adversity. It has shaped her and turned her into the woman she is today. She may be an Alpha female, but also because of her suffering, she's fragile and vulnerable at her core, and it takes Rafe's acceptance and care to fill that hole in her. It gives her a sense of justice and compassion to fight for what is right and to fight for the underdog. Her life experiences, harsh though they may have been, make her the perfect Triskele.

With both Rafe and Thalia, Ms Akeroyd does a brilliant job of balancing their strengths and weaknesses. It makes them both such well-rounded people.

Since this is a reverse harem story, Thalia has more than one mate. We are introduced to Mikkel, Thalia's second mate, later in the story. We don't know much about Mikkel yet, and he's both skeptical and reluctant when he finds out he's one of three of Thalia's mates. I liked Mikkel's reluctance. He wasn't dismissive which he could have been, but he remained open-minded as he assessed the situation.

I enjoyed every moment of this story, and I can't wait to see what is in store for Rafe, Thalia, and Mikkel. And of course, I can't wait to find out who Thalia's third and final mate would be.

I'm going to be brut Snatched is hard, gritty, and rough. If you are wanting a book with warm fuzzies and sweet feelings, this is not for you. This book bites, scratches, kicks, and hits hard. If you've got nuts, best wear a nut protector.

I'm going to be brutally honest about how I feel about this book because that's how I roll and because I think Ms Ross would expect that of me. I think she gets that not every book is for everyone.

So first off, this book is very well written and I think the writing itself might be some of Ms Ross's best yet. I think technically, she's cranked it up a notch with the quality of her writing. And I could tell she did her research with the club lifestyle and military men in the way she portrayed Troy.

That aside, I also struggled with this book, and I wanted so much to sink into it and enjoy it. This was not an easy seamless read for me. I'm generally not really into books with motorcycle clubs and gangs, and the harsher elements of life but I've read a few I've really enjoyed. This book was different from the others I've read in that it didn't temper all the rough, hard grit that comes with an MC club enough to make the characters approachable and likable. Of course, this is me personally, and if hard as nails men, vengeance, and hate floats your boat, then you may enjoy this.

I'm generally very forgiving of the heroes in a romance and they have to be pretty awful for me to get mad at them. I'm not saying Troy is awful because he's not, but he does some things he feels he's justified in doing and they are truly scary, calculated tactics intended to strike fear into the hearts of the people the actions were directed at. Even if his intentions were honorable and he was genuinely concerned for his sister, I'm not sure I can condone some of his behavior. Had I been in Stacey's position, I'd be equally terrified, angry, and hurt.

Which leads me to Stacey. She's young, impressionable, and slightly vulnerable. She's also somewhat idealistic, if not very trusting. But she gets pushed a little too far and she's hurt, so she retaliates, and she uses words in her arsenal calculated to hurt intentionally as revenge even after a sincere apology and an attempt to make things right. This makes her somewhat vindictive and me less sympathetic to her plight. I understand where she's coming from, but I'm also one to be fairly quick to forgive and I can't tolerate petty acts of revenge. Stacey also gets physically abusive towards Troy and that is something I cannot tolerate. Regardless if he's a big, tough man like Troy who can take it and doesn't even flinch when she punches him in the face. Men cop a heap a flack if they so much as lift a finger towards a woman and yet when a woman does that to a man, no one raises an eyebrow. If it's not okay for a man to hit a woman, it's not okay for a woman to hit a man. And it's even less okay in the context of a romance when the heroine raises her hand against the hero in anger and he can't defend himself or retaliate.

Quotes “I hate you. I hate the way you play with my emotions.” She dug her fingernails into his hands, which were still relentlessly holding hers. “No, you don’t. You’re mad at me. There’s a difference.” “You terrorized me. Have you any idea how much that hurt me?”

Troy and Stacey start off on the wrong foot and they continue to battle it out while being insanely attracted to each other. There's a lot of Stacey being angry and throwing words like "I hate you" around constantly, and Troy overwhelming her with his dominance and his confidence. Between Stacey being hurt and vindictive, and Troy being bullish and domineering, I found it very hard to like either of them. I was trying to find softer, more redeeming qualities in the both of them and that's not how they came across to me.

I tried convincing Steve to read this for a Manview but I'm afraid I didn't sell the story very well. He's not a fan of motorcycle clubs, to begin with, and I don't think he appreciated it when I described the scene where Troy dangles Stacey over the bayou. Scare tactics to the max, man!!

I think this would be a sexy and exciting read for a lot of people but I had a hard time connecting with Troy and Stacey, and that colored my reading experience.

Imagine my excitement when I saw Marriage Le Marriage Lessons is mad, crazy fun with the irascible Louis Dumont and the lovely Annabelle Shay. This will make you laugh, make you smile, tear up a little, and give you an all-round good time.

Imagine my excitement when I saw Marriage Lessons was available. After the first two books, I was breathlessly awaiting this installment to once again experience the comedic genius that is Katie Allen.

If you haven't read Acting Lessons and Baking Lessons, you need to. Of course, you don't need to read them to enjoy this book since all three standalone well but catching a glimpse and a mention of previous characters in a series is my catnip. I'm such a series whore. And I loved the little mentions of James and Topher, and Ham and Leah. It was good to know they were still happy together.

But let's talk about this book. And more importantly, let's talk about the gorgeousness that is Louis Dumont. From the first moment he uttered "Annabelle Shay" he stole my heart. Louis is funny, sweet, charming, and a rascal. He's completely irrepressible and unapologetic about it. And he's so dang adorable about it that you forgive him his high-handedness and his being a super high maintenance artist while being a wounded, scarred army veteran. There are many sides to Louis. The side he shows the world that is sweet, charming, and unassuming. The side that's protective when it comes to his Annabelle Shay, and the side that's slightly battered from his injuries and scars after being caught in an explosion. It takes a lot of love and patience on Annabelle's side to coax all of Louis out into the open and it's a delightful journey.

Annabelle Shay, as Louis likes to call her, is a delight. She's sweet, competent, and crazy in love with Louis. Has been for months. And she tries so hard to hide it as she falls deeper and deeper for his charms. And what's not to love because Louis is a wonderful guy. I kinda wanted him for myself too. I loved Annabelle's patience with Louis because well, Louis can be a bit like a big child a times. But where it matters, Louis steps up and blows Annabelle away. I loved the way Annabelle resisted Louis while trying to remain professional, friendly, and unaffected. It's a tough place to be until Louis demolishes all her self-preservation mechanisms.

I loved Louis and his Annabelle Shay as a couple, and I couldn't get through the book fast enough. I had very limited time to read and I found myself sneaking in a chapter or two here and there whenever I could. The story kept me entertained, delighted, and held my very scattered attention.

Well done, Ms Allen. This did not disappoint at all and the anticipation and wait for worth it. I hope there will be more Off Guard stories.

This story Good Girl's Bad Lessons concludes the Dirty Debts series with a whole lotta sexiness, fun, and some emotional upheaval as Emma learns to be the sex kitten her ex wants while Nico gets a lesson in what it means to open his heart.

This story like the first two before it jumps in feet first to the sexy times, and those sexy times keep on rolling. If you're not up for that, or prepared for that, then consider this a warning. There's a lot of sex since this is an Entangled Scorced story. I love it, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Ms Falcone does a great job of sexing it up but at the same time providing enough plot and emotional depth to drive the story along.

The story starts with Emma being dumped by the man of her dreams. Apparently, she's not exciting in the bedroom department for him. This leads to Nico proving her or more importantly her ex wrong and Emma bargaining with him for sex lessons in exchange for something he wants. It's a simple enough story but Ms Falcone brings some emotional depth to it with Nico's tragic past and his inability to connect and commit.

I liked Emma well enough but I found her to be fairly naive and perhaps even stereotypical. She's sweet, kind, generous, and unaware of her own sensuality. It's her kindness and her support of Nico that draws him out of himself and makes him want to share parts of his past with her that he's never shared with anyone else.

I've been wanting Nico's story because he's been a recurring character in the previous books and a real Lothario. I've wanted to see how he falls for the right woman and what she does to bring him to his knees. Who knew it would be something as simple as kindness and unconditional love, and perhaps that's not so simple at all? There was a moment in the story when I thought Nico would be harsh and brutal in trying to get something he has wanted for a very long time but instead he was tender and sensitive. I particularly like that scene in the book and how it was handled. It was at that part where I thought "wow! I really like how this played out!" and it was a high point in the story for me.

I've enjoyed the entire Dirty Debts series. They have been fun, quick, sexy reads for me and sometimes that's just what the doctor ordered for a little R&R. I'm looking forward to seeing what Ms Falcone does next. I hope there will be more Scorched books from her.

Destiny's Knight brings us a new paranormal romance by Ms Couper with a smart, sassy, strong heroine and a melt your pants gorgeous fallen angel. Billie will have you rallying to her side and you'll want Nath for your next book boyfriend.

I have a complicated relationship with paranormal stories featuring angels. When I first encountered them, I struggled with the concept given my rather conservative religious upbringing. It took a little doing but I've managed to overcome my own preconceived notions regarding them. Now, of course, I love them and man, did I fall hard for Nath.

Nath is such a gorgeous creature and so conflicted by his love for Billie. He's known her from the moment she was a twinkle in entire scope of the universe. He's been fascinated, enamored, enthralled, and in love with Billie for eons. And he's been waiting for her for just as long. I loved his patience and his desire to protect her, wanting her to get to know him as he knew her. The circumstances drawing them together was not ideal but the stolen moments were filled with intense longing and desire.

Quote: “I would rather be cut off from the only existence I know, the only one I knew for thousands of human years, than to deny your place in my heart.” “You fell for me,” she whispered. “I fell for you.”

Billie is one sassy heroine. She's smart and strong, and she doesn't take crap from anyone. She knows how to stand up for herself and look after herself, but against her deranged stalker, she needs more protection than she can afford herself. It takes her a while to get used to the idea of needing Nath's protection and she resists him in the beginning. There were moments in her resistance that didn't sit well with me but her some of actions were justifiable. I may not have agreed with or condoned her behavior but I understood what drove her to them. In the whole scheme of things, I don't think anyone else reading the story would even notice. But when Billie falls for Nath, she falls fast and hard.

Ms Couper is well-known for her erotic romances, and even though this is not one, the way she brought Nath and Billie together was beautiful to read. Nath's sense of wonder and rapture, coupled with Billie's pleasure was a sight to behold. It made me very happy for Nath that he finally got his heart's desire.

I hope this is the start of a series for Ms Couper because I would love to read about James and how his cheeky self gets brought down by the right woman. Well done, Ms Couper.
