BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Dark Alpha’s Claim is the first in an exclusive new series from New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant!

There is no escaping a Reaper. I am an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I am coming for you…

My whole existence is based on taking what Death wants. Born to eliminate Fae guilty of unforgivable crimes, my reckless, wild nature makes me the perfect assassin to carry out Death’s bidding. I’ve seen more sinister and violent dealings than anyone could ever imagine. But it was the sight of her face that stopped me cold. I’ve never wanted a woman-never mind a human-so badly; never felt my heart, hardened by death, burn brighter and hotter until it burst into flames. She is everything I desire. The kind of woman that compels you to stake your claim on her, to let the world know that she’s yours. A Reaper saving her life will only attract danger, but I vow to protect her at all costs from the Fae that hunt her, and keep safe the woman who has claimed me, body and soul.

REVIEW:
Dark Alpha’s Claim is the first book in Donna Grant’s new Reaper series, which is a spin off of her Dark Kings series. But while these series happen in the same world you don’t have to (but I would highly recommend) read the Dark Kings stories first.
As always Ms. Grant blows me away with her ability to tell a story that leaves me shocked and dying for more. I loved the Reapers and what they are. I loved that they are the boogie men of the Fae. I love that the Fae both light and dark are scared of them. I really enjoyed Baylon & Jordyn. I am excited to see what the future holds for these two.
I really enjoyed Death. Who was a shockingly fun character and I can’t wait to see what happens to Death as the stories go on.
There is so much that I want to say, but I don’t like to give spoiler. So know this. I loved this book and know that I will love this series!!!! Already super excited for the next installment

Favorite quotes from book
“Death was the judge. The Reapers were the executioners.”

“Defeat doesn’t become you, Cael” – Death

Kelly reviews Once Touched by Laura Moore

Once touchedTITLE: Once Touched
SERIES #: Silver Creek #3
CHARACTERS: Quinn Knowles & Ethan Saunders
AUTHOR: Laura Moore
PUBLICATION DATE:
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
For fans of Linda Lael Miller and Diana Palmer comes Laura Moore’s breathtaking final installment in her Silver Creek contemporary romance series.

The youngest of the three Knowles siblings, Quinn has in her blood the love of the land and its beautiful creatures. Raising enough money to build an animal sanctuary is a dream Quinn lives every day—while fending off her family’s well-intentioned matchmaking schemes. Though harboring secret fears about intimacy, Quinn soon realizes she cannot fight her growing attraction to a man who has suddenly entered her life.

Scarred by his months in Afghanistan and the violence he witnessed there through his camera lens, photojournalist Ethan Saunders throws himself into hard ranching work as a prescription for healing. But falling for Quinn has given him the one thing he thought he’d lost forever: hope. Ethan discovers that Quinn, like the innocent animals she rescues, is shy, and afraid of entrusting her heart to a man. Passion soon awakens Ethan’s strength, and his tender seduction may be just what Quinn needs to believe in herself—and in his love.

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts I am sad to say goodbye to the Silver Creek series. I loved the first two books and was really excited when I found out that Quinn was getting her own book. Quinn is the youngest of the Knowles family. I knew Quinn’s story was going to be good.

Quinn is a smart, witty, animal loving, and rescuer of all things. But poor Quinn has been having to deal with both of her brothers falling in love. Quinn doesn’t think that love will ever be for her. She is just not good at it or maybe she has not found the right person yet.

Ethan Saunders just wants to be left alone and needs to recover without having to deal with a lot of questions. But what Ethan finds on the ranch is so much more than just recovery and hard work.

This was a great story and I thought that Ms. Moore did an excellent job or bring this trilogy to a close. While I truly hope that this is not our last visit to Silver Creek, if it was I am glad to see that everything has been wrapped up.

SERIES #: Realm Enforcers #2
CHARACTERS: Daire Dunne & Cee Cee Jones
AUTHOR: Rebecca Zanetti
PUBLICATION DATE: November 10, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
If you love the Dark Protectors, these wicked hot Realm Enforcers are for you!
Daire Dunne is more than ready to take a quick break from his duties as a Coven Nine Enforcer. When he spots a sexy blonde across a Titan’s of Fire party, it’s not long before she’s on the back of his Harley on the fast track to his apartment. Unfortunately, one overheated kiss in, the woman drugs Daire and steals valuable files that can’t fall into enemy hands. The second he comes to, the hunt is on…

Now that Cee Cee has the information to take down an enemy that destroyed her family, she can implement her perfect plan for revenge. Nothing will stop her, not even a shockingly sexy enforcer barging into her life. Not even the spectacular, fire-branding sex engulfing them. But if Daire ever figures out who her family really is, all bets are off

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Book two in Ms. Zanetti’s Realm Enforcers series follows Daire Dunne. The oldest and grumpiest (his words not mine) of the Dunne brothers. Daire has been undercover with his brothers trying to find out who is producing Apollo a drug that is deadly to both humans and witches. But while that should be Daire main focus in life his attention has just be fixated on a petite little blond with a sassy month and a pension for drugging him.
Cee Cee is awesome. She is meek, mild and no one would ever guess the warrior or craziness that lives in her. She is the perfect fit for Daire. Cee Cee challenges Daire every step of the way in this book. And Daire is not known for his patients 🙂 . But I loved these two together. I love seeing how each adapted to the other in order to meet in the middle and get the job done. I loved Cee Cee’s secrets *wiggles eyebrows*. Some of these secrets were shocking and almost ended with a few less head on bodies.
I am really enjoying the Realm Enforcers series and can not wait to see what and who is next. Both Adam and Simone need to go down!!!! I also want to know who, what and why the Coven Nine is targeting Simone. Makes me wonder what secrets she is hiding. Until next time Realm Enforcers!!!!

SERIES #: Rogue Winter #1
CHARACTERS: Seth Harding & Carly Taylor
AUTHOR: Melinda Leigh
PUBLICATION DATE: November 10, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In the first thrilling Rogue Winter Novella, sleepy little Solitude, Oregon, wakes up to another deadly threat.

County investigator Seth Harding intends to spend the holidays with his newly reconciled family, but a few days before Christmas, a homicide thwarts his plan. Seth arrives at the scene and makes a painful discovery: the victim is his brother-in-law’s girlfriend. Her apartment has been ransacked and her toddler left motherless. To make matters worse, Seth’s brother-in-law, Bruce, is missing. With Solitude locked in a rare, deadly deep freeze and the temperature plummeting, the residents launch a desperate search.

Seth calls his wife, social worker Carly Taylor, to take the case so the little girl doesn’t get lost in the foster care system. With the holidays near, Carly brings the child home with them to celebrate Christmas. But when the Taylor farm is also trashed, Seth and Carly must race against time—and against a paralyzing winter storm—to find Bruce and catch a killer in the first pulse-pounding sequel to the Rogue River Novellas.

REVIEW:
4.75 Hearts I was so excited when Ms. Leigh & Ms. Elliot announced that they were going to revisit the small town of Solitude, Oregon. If you have not checked out the first four novella’s in the Rogue River series you should.
In Tracks of Her Tears we get to re-visit Seth & Carly. I loved them the first time around and love them even more after this novella. Seth is back to work and his first case is a murder of a young woman. Sadly, this is a young woman that Seth knows.
This story is full of twists and turns. Just when you think you have it all figured out Ms. Leigh throws another bone at you and your re-think your thinking. Thank you for revisiting this world. It freaks me out a bit how creepy and suspense authors mind works. But I can’t wait to see what is next!!!!!

Kelly reviews The Single Undead Moms Club by Molly Harper

25101899TITLE: The Single Undead Moms Club
SERIES #: Half Moon Hollow #4
CHARACTERS: Wade , Finn & Libby Stratton
AUTHOR: Molly Harper
NARRATOR: Amanda Ronconi
RUN TIME: 9 Hours & 33 Minutes
PUBLICATION DATE: October 27, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | Audible | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In the next book in Molly Harper’s Half Moon Hollow paranormal romance series, Libby (a widow-turned-vampire) struggles with her transition, and finds out it sucks to be the only vampire member of the PTA…

Widow Libby Stratton arranged to be turned into a vampire after she was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. It wasn’t the best idea she’s ever had, but she was desperate—she’s not about to leave her seven-year-old son to be raised by her rigid, overbearing in-laws.

On top of post-turning transition issues, like being ignored at PTA meetings and other mothers rejecting her son’s invitations for sleepovers, Libby must deal with her father-in-law’s attempts to declare her an unfit mother, her growing feelings for Wade—a tattooed redneck single dad she met while hiding in a closet at Back to School Night—and the return of her sire, who hasn’t stopped thinking about brave, snarky Libby since he turned her.

With the help of her new vampire circle, Libby negotiates this unfamiliar quagmire of legal troubles, parental duties, relationships, and, as always in Harper’s distinct, comedic novels, “characters you can’t help but fall in love with” (RT Book Reviews).

REVIEW:
4.75 Hearts As always Ms. Harper writes a story that sucks you in and makes you run that emotional gauntlet. The combination of Ms. Harper’s witt & amazing storytelling combined with Amanda Conconi’s voice & talent at bring characters to life left me wishing I could move to Half Moon Hollow yet again. This is a winning combo!!!
I always love to visit Half Moon Hollow. I just love this town and the characters. I loved that In The Single Undead Moms Club we get to see how the town folk of HMH deal with the newest vampire in town. Needless to say they didn’t take it very well.
I loved Libby. Libby is such a fun character and she is great with her son. I loved that she wouldn’t let Dick hug her (I was dying laughing, poor Dick). I really liked Wade even when he was being a huge brat about the supply closet. Oh and don’t forget the epic back to school supply showdown. I really like Wade & Libby together. So much so that when I got to the end of the story I looked at my audiobook and yelled “You are not done, keep reading. Amanda why did you stop reading!!!!!”.
Finn, what can I tell you about Finn. Other then he made me really wish I could stab him with a fork.
I really can’t wait to see what is next in this series!!!!

When he takes her back to the carnival a year later, looking for a cure, it’ll either get better…or a whole lot worse.

REVIEW:
3.75 Heart The Werewife: What happens when you have an unhappy marriage, then you add in a little furry murder you get a lot of mayhem and two even more unhappy people. This was a fun little story. I was not sure who I liked and disliked more Brad (husband) or Annie (wife). They both were kinda asshats. But I did enjoy the ending. And I want to know more. I want to know what happened to Brad and Annie. Maybe Ms. Wells will revisit these two in the future.
The Bluest Hour: hhmmmm, I am not sure about this one. I was kinda confused as to what was happening. I think I need to re-read this one.

The Deadline: Oh man!!! This story is creepy and I wanted more.I didn’t want this story to be so short. I wanted to know what happens next. I want to know what happens to Sarah.

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts When I started Ex-Con, Bad Boy Romance I felt like I was reading the movie Pretty Woman, only the roles were reversed. But as the story went on I realized that it was only like the movie in the fact that one was rich and one was not.
I really liked Bobby. Even if he was an Ex-con. He did his time and is trying to be a better person. With a twist of fate Bobby finds himself in the right place at the right time. Even if that means taking a hit over the head from a hand bag.
Carly Prince is Hollywood royalty who just happens to be in the wrong place at the right time. Carly could have never know that here need for some fresh air would lead her to met the man that will forever change her life.
I really enjoyed this story. At every page I was rooting for Bobby and Carly. I wanted Bobby to prove that he is not the cold blooded killer that he thinks he his. As the story goes on we learn more and more about his past. It is heartbreaking, despise everything Bobby turns out to be a pretty good guy.
I am glad that I got this book for review. This is not a normally story that I would have picked up. But I am glad that I did.

CHARACTERS: Tucker Pankov & Karen Stafford
AUTHOR: Katie Reus
PUBLICATION DATE: November 3, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The new Deadly Ops novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Shattered Duty—in the series that delivers “fast-paced romantic suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat!”*

When an assassin tries to kill undercover DEA agent Tucker Pankov the same week his boss is taken out, Tucker has good reason to be paranoid. And when other members of his elite team are not only targeted, but stripped of top-secret security clearance, Tucker has one shot at discovering who wants them dead—and why. So he kidnaps the only woman he thinks can save them.

Brilliant NSA analyst Karen Stafford doesn’t like being forced into anything, especially by someone she doesn’t trust. Yet after a hijacked US-owned drone starts attacking government installations resulting in mass casualties, Karen has to take Tucker’s side. Now, two unlikely allies must unite to prevent an escalating and unthinkable terrorist conspiracy. But as Tucker and Karen grow intimate, they realize the conspiracy runs deep, and their enemies are closer than anyone realized.

REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts In Edge of Danger we get to follow 4 DEA agents who are wrongly accused of a terrorist attack. Not only are the wrongly accused, each had a hit put on them. The four guys all work so well together, but Tucker took the lead and the risk in this book (which I hope means the other boys will get a story *hint, hint*). Tucker is one mean SOB. He has to be for his job, but he doesn’t really like it. So when his team decides that they the help of a certain NSA analyst the set up a nice little meeting with her… Okay no they don’t. They kidnap her 🙂
I loved that Karen is a huge fighter. She out smarts the guys at least once and boy howdy it was funny (Poor Cole). But once she learns the reason behind her being taken she understands what she needs to do. And it doesn’t help that Tucker is really easy on the eyes.
Another really good story from Ms. Reus. I really enjoyed Tucker and Karen’s story. I liked the pace of the story. I really enjoyed the tension between Tucker and Karen. Oh and the closet or and the cabana. So much fun!!! I can’t wait to see what is next!!! I really really hope the Cole is next.

REVIEW:
Super excited for a new Dragonfury story. I love this world. I mean come on Dragons!!!! While I love this world and am already looking forward to the next story in this series. Fury of a Highland Dragon was a good story and we got a whole new set of Scottish Dragons. I really liked Tydrin, I really liked Ivy this story was average to me.
Don’t get me wrong. Tydrin and Ivy have a great love story. Everything moved really fast (which is fine and happens in novellas) but there was a big part of the story that left questions unanswered. I hope that this means we will get to revisit Tydrin & Ivy again soon in the future.

PUBLICATION DATE: November 3, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
He consumed her with that kiss, leaving no question that whatever was happening between them was meant to be—that it had always been meant to be…

HE LOVES FOR ETERNITY

Thorn is the bad boy of the Dragon Kings, a gorgeous, reckless warrior whose passions run wild and fury knows no bounds.

Nothing can save Lexi from a creature like this—except the one man who’s been watching her every move

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Dragons…… Need I say more??? Oh I do? Okay thing.. Hawt Smexy Dragons. Is that better? Still no? How about this.
Donna Grant is an amazing story teller. I love this series. Love her dragons. And I even love (to hate) the Dark Fae. And of course I love Rhi. In Passion Ignites we pick up where we left off in Soul Scorched. Thorn is trying to find out where he stand after the events that happened with Darcy and Ulrik. So Thorn throw himself into killing as many Darks as the can. Thankfully he has Darius to keep him company and on the straight and narrow. That is until he notices that human that is tracking the Darks. From the moment he sees her Thorn knows she is going to be a problem for him.
Lexi is out for vengeance. She can see the ones with red eyes. She knows that they are responsible for her friend’s death. What she doesn’t know is just how deadly they are. Thank goodness for the mesmerizing man that comes to her rescue.
As always Ms. Grant writes a story that keeps my fixated, trying to read faster and trying not to miss. I am really excited to see what is next (Darius). I am also very excited for Ms. Grant’s new series about the Reapers.

Kelly’s review of Fangs for the Memories by Molly Harper

SERIES #:  Half Moon Hollow #4.5

CHARACTERS: Dick Cheney & Andrea Ryder

AUTHOR: Molly Harper

PUBLICATION DATE: November 2, 2015

ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N | iBooks | Simon & Schuster

BOOK SYNOPSIS:

For all those readers who asked, “When are Dick and Andrea getting their own story?” FANGS FOR THE MEMORIES is a flashback ebook novella exploring their courtship when Andrea was still human.

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4.99

The only reason this is not a 5 star is because I want MORE Dick and Andrea (thank goodness I remember Andrea’s name *wink, wink*).  I am always excited to go back to the Hollow.  While reading Jane’s books we got to see Dick and Andrea from Jane’s point of view.  In Fangs for the Memories we get to see it from Andrea’s point of view.  We get to see why Andrea is the way she is.  We also get to see the smarta$$ and sweet side of Dick Cheney.
I want more!!!!  I hope the Molly will continue to give us some novella’s in the future on all the characters from the Hollow.  It would be nice to see what everyone is up too.

Oh and never fear as soon as Fangs for the Memories comes out I will have an audio review of this book.

Kelly reviews Grimm’s End by Shiloh Walker

grimms endTITLE: Grimm’s End
SERIES #: Grimm’s Circle #9
CHARACTERS: Will & Mandy
AUTHOR: Shiloh Walker
PUBLICATION DATE: October 27, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
“He would walk into hell for her. Hell’s not willing to let him back out.”

“Grimm’s Circle,” Book 9

Years have passed since Will flung himself headlong into demon central. Everyone has told Mandy he’s lost to them, but she still won’t believe it. He was her heart and soul-still is-even if he never admitted they belonged together.

When a friend is nearly torn through a rip between the worlds, Mandy gets the sign she’s hoped and prayed for. Her friend is thrust back through to safety by no other than Will himself.

With all hell breaking loose on earth, only two Grimm can be spared for the mission to retrieve their leader-Mandy and the only other Grimm crazy enough to go with her.

Will would forget the color of the sky before he’d forget the love of all his lives. But his time is done. It’s only a matter of which demon will finally destroy him.

He never thought his final moments would be haunted by Mandy’s face. But is it a fitting punishment, or one last chance to atone for crimes he committed so long ago?

“Warning: This book contains too much angst, too many secrets, and two people who long to be together. It’s also the end of a long, fun ride. Thanks for taking it.”

REVIEW:
I am so sad that the Grimm’s Circle series has come to an end. But very glad that Will finally gets his story. I have loved every book in this series. I loved the twists and turns that Shiloh put into each story. I hope just because we finally have Will’s story doesn’t mean that Shiloh won’t ever visit The Grimm’s world again. I believe follow up stories are needed.
Gash, I am not even sure where to start without giving away too much. Grimm’s End is not a book you want to read as a stand alone. There has been too much that has happened over the past 8 books that lead us to the finale. So I would suggest picking up book one (Candy Houses) and starting there.
During the series we have all wondered about the why’s, the wants and the who is Will? Finally we learn it all. And it all makes since. It all becomes clear as to why Will acts the way he does and doesn’t act the way we want him too. I really can’t say
much because I don’t want to give away anything. But it has been one Hell of a trip.
