She has a big secret…

After a year in captivity, werewolf Paz Cabrera is trying to figure out her place in the world. While her sister’s new family is welcoming, Paz still doesn’t feel like she belongs to the Lazos pack.

He’s her mate and she’s terrified he’ll uncover her secret.

He’ll stop at nothing to uncover the truth…

After centuries by himself, he never expected to meet his mate while on the job, but now that he’s found her, he won’t let her go. Paz denies their connection, but she can’t escape the sizzling heat between them. No matter what it takes, he plans to uncover the truth behind her resistance and bond her to him forever.

Miami Scorcher Series, #3
Length: 35,000 words

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts Adam is the Council’s enforcer. He is the one that has to clean up all the dirty work. His has been sent by the Council to investigate the two she-wolves saved from the lab and track down a rogue werewolf. Adam knows how to do his job and he does it very well. He is always prepared. Always. Except this trip to Miami he not prepared. Because he never prepared for her.
Paz has survived being kidnapped and locked away in a lab for over a year. She is safe now. As long as no one finds out her secret. A secret that if the Council’s enforcer find out about could lead to her death. Paz’s only chance is to lie and hope that the enforcer never finds out.
I really enjoyed Adam and Paz’s story. Both Adam and Paz have a lot of secrets in their past which makes them perfect for each other. They will also learn what the meaning of trust and love are. I am looking forward to the next installment in this series.

Kelly & Kimberly review SEAL Wolf In Too Deep by Terry Spears

TITLE: SEAL Wolf in Too Deep
SERIES #: Heart of the Wolf #18
CHARACTERS: Allan Rappaport & Debbie Renaud
AUTHOR: Terry Spears
PUBLICATION DATE: February 2, 2016
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Debbie Renaud is a police diver working on criminal cases with SEAL Allan Rappaport. She admires him greatly for his missions in the Navy, plus he’s just plain HOT. Allan seems to share her attraction, but what she doesn’t know is that her partner is wolf shifter.

Allan is really hung up on his smart, beautiful dive partner, but he can’t get involved with a human outside dive duty. Yet when she gets between a werewolf hunter and his intended victim, one of the members of Allan’s pack, they run into real trouble, and their lives are altered forever.

KELLY’S REVIEW:
3 Hearts Another good story in Ms. Spears Heart of the Wolf series. While this was not my favorite in the series that I have read so far I did really enjoy it.
I really liked Allan and Debbie’s story. It was fun to watch them circle each other. While I liked Allan and Debbie I think my favorite part of this whole story was Rowdy. I love the homicide detective and hope that he will get a story soon. I am thinking he would be perfect for Tara.

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts While enjoyable this story just wasn’t one of my favorite wolf shifter stories. First it was a bit too wordy. So many things repeated, I never really felt the connection between Allan and Debbie, the suspense part was really obvious and it just didn’t have much on the romance side to me.

Allan is ok. He just doesn’t seem like the alpha (2nd alpha really) that he should have been. He is sweet. He deals with Debbie well really but just nothing screams “ALPHA WOLF” to me about him. Debbie is just blah. Honestly I never really found myself liking her. I mean I didn’t hate her but she was just there, if you know what I mean.

The story is interesting in the whole “who is killing werewolves” but nothing really much happens. I guess that is it. It was just a bit too boring for me. No heat, no real suspense, no nothing. Again it was an ok read and if you have read the series you should continue with this one. Maybe the next in the series will be better…. Could Rowdy be the lead? Now that would be an interesting idea.

Kelly reviews Dangerous Craving by Savannah Stuart

TITLE: Dangerous Craving
SERIES #: Miami Scorcher Series, #4
CHARACTERS: Thomas Lazos & Nissa
AUTHOR: Savannah Stuart
PUBLICATION DATE: August 16, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
She has nowhere else to go…
A century ago, the only man Nissa ever loved turned his back on her when she needed him. Now that her life is in danger from one of her own kind, he may be her only hope for survival. As a full-blooded faerie and next in line to be queen, Nissa figures the last place anyone would think to look for her is with a pack of werewolves.
So she turns to the one man who broke her heart…
Werewolf Thomas Lazos knows he screwed up by letting Nissa go and he’s suffered the consequences for too long. Now that she’s finally back on the same continent, he shows her what she’s been missing all these years. The sex between them is as scorching as ever and the seductive faerie is still the only woman who makes him lose control in and out of the bedroom.
But who will protect her from him?
When he learns that someone wants her dead, Thomas will do whatever it takes to keep Nissa safe and finally claim what is rightfully his—her heart. But with an unknown enemy stalking her, it might be too late for a second chance.
Length: 33,000 words

REVIEW:
100 years is a long time to wait for a second chance, but that is exactly what Thomas is getting. He just hopes that he doesn’t screw it up again.
There is something very rewarding to read a novella length story and feel complete. Yes, this was a quick story and a very quick read. But Ms. Stuart does a great job of giving us the complete history of Thomas & Nissa and the current story without leaving us feeling like we are missing parts or pieces of the story.
I really liked Thomas. He knows what he did wrong and he does everything in his power to make it right.
Nissa is a bit of a challenge. She knows what and who she wants but her sense of duty is clouding her judgement.
I enjoyed this story!! And really need to go back and read the first 3 books in this series.

Kelly reviews To Catch His Mate by Savannah Stewart

TITLE: To Catch His Mate
SERIES #: Crescent Moon #5
CHARACTERS: Reece O’Shea & Alyssa Clare
AUTHOR: Savannah Stewart
PUBLICATION DATE: December 15, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
When she ran, she didn’t think he’d follow…

Pack princess Alyssa Clare was trying to come up with ways to get out of her arranged mating to alpha wolf Reece O’Shea—until she meets the powerful male. After getting to know him, mating doesn’t seem like such a bad idea anymore. But when he makes it clear she’s just a business arrangement for him and his pack, she calls off the mating and heads south to stay with a friend to lick her wounds in private.

But he’s not willing to let her go without a fight.

Reece can’t let Alyssa go, not when he’s completely fallen for the sweet, sexy female. He doesn’t care about the arranged mating deal, he just wants her and has no idea why she ran. To win her back he infiltrates another alpha’s territory, knowing it could mean his death. Luckily Grant Kincaid allows him in his domain—as long as Alyssa is okay with it. Convincing her that she’s all he wants is a bigger challenge than he imagined. But he’s not giving up, because he knows she’s the one he’s meant to be with forever.

Length: NOVELLA

REVIEW:
To Catch His Mate was a quick and enjoyable read. I very much liked Reece and Alyssa’s story. Reece messes up royally in the beginning. But like any good Alpha male he knows when to turn on the charm and add a little groveling to win what is his.
As stated this is a novella so I don’t want to give away too much of the story. But know that Alyssa makes life a little rough for poor Reece. Oh and there is a secondary romance in this book that I just loved as much as Alyssa and Reece. I really can’t wait to see what is up next in the Crescent Moon series.

Kelly & Kimberly review In The Company Of Wolves by Paige Tyler

TITLE: In the Company of Wolves
SERIES #: SWAT: SPECIAL WOLF ALPHA TEAM #3
CHARACTERS: Eric Becker & Jayna Winston
AUTHOR: Paige Tyler
PUBLICATION DATE: December 1, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
He opened his mouth to order her to drop the MP5 she had aimed at him, but nothing would come out. It was like she’d robbed him of the ability to speak. Shooting her wasn’t an option, though. And the idea of arresting her didn’t make him feel any better.

There’s a new gang of criminals in town who are organized and ruthless in the extreme. When Eric Becker, along with the rest of the Dallas SWAT team, ends up in the middle of a shootout, he immediately senses werewolves-a lot of them. Turns out, the new bad guys are a pack of wolf shifters.

In a spray of gunfire, Becker comes face-to-face with the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen. Becker does the logical thing. He hides her and leaves the scene with the rest of his team.

Jayna Winston has no idea why that SWAT guy helped her, but she’s glad he did. Ever since she and her pack mates got mixed up with those Eastern European mobsters, everything had pretty much fallen apart.

So what’s a street-savvy thief like Jayna going to do with a hot alpha-male wolf who’s a police officer?

KELLY’S REVIEW:
4 Hearts In the Company of Wolves starts out with us getting a glance at the life the Jayne was subject to as a teenager. After surviving that attack by her step-father Jayne has had to learn to survive. Not only in the world but the world as a werewolf. Thankfully she has a small pack to rely on. Unfortunately, here Alpha had started making choices that could put them all in danger.
Eric Becker is trying to stop a crime before it happens. That last thing he ever expected to find in the warehouse raid was a she-wolf. But the minute he sees her, his life changed. Eric is a man on mission. A mission to find out who she is and why she was at the warehouse with a gun pointed at him.
I really enjoyed this story. In the Company of Wolves was a pretty quick read too. Eric Becker and Jayna Winston are a great couple. I just loved Eric. Eric is they type of guy that everyone would ever want in your corner. He is loyal and determined. I really enjoyed the interplay between Landry Cooper and Eric too. I think Eric needs to watch his back I have a funny feeling that Cooper will get a little revenge in the future for that gun shot.

Favorite line:
“Almost forgot. Can you stop by and feed my fish every few days? And talk to them too. They get lonely when I am not home.”
Cooper made a face “Who the hell talks to their fish?”
“Me. You’ll feed them, right”
“Yeah, I’ll feed them. But I am sure as hell not talking to them,” Cooper said…..

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
4 Hearts This is the 3rd in the SWAT series which is Jayna and Eric’s story. Jayna has lived a pretty traumatic life but has been able to depend on her pack until recently. There is some bad things going on and Jayna doesn’t know what to do about it. Eric finds her at a crime scene and can’t help but save her.

I enjoyed this story. Eric is great. He is everything a good werewolf should be. And a great guy too. Jayna is a female alpha and it was very interesting to see the pact dynamics.

If you enjoy a paranormal romance with a bit of suspense then you need to read this book… heck the series. You won’t regret it.

Kelly reviews From Russia With Fangs by Jacey Conrad, Gia Corona + a giveaway

TITLE: From Russia with Fangs
SERIES #: From Russia… #2
CHARACTERS: Irina Sudenko & Victor Zhukovsky
AUTHOR: Jacey Conrad, Gia Corona
PUBLICATION DATE: November 24, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Between her family’s drunken antics and vicious verbal attacks from her so-called friends, Irina Sudenko Volkov is having the worst night ever. And that’s before she’s widowed.
Volatile, cheating, no-good Sergei’s death-by-assassin unleashes chaos in the werewolf criminal underground. Irina’s panicked Papa assigns Beta wolf Viktor Zhukovsky to Irina’s security detail until her husband’s killer is found. As Irina’s world crumbles around her, the perfect princess mask falls away and Viktor meets the sharp, passionate woman underneath. Their initial chemistry gives way to a deeper attraction when Irina begins to see the decency underneath Viktor’s gruff, tattooed exterior, despite his insistence that it doesn’t exist.

Their tendency to find themselves semi-nude and in enclosed spaces is a source of amusement to her sister, Galina, but each of them knows of the deadly consequences if their relationship is brought to light. Things get even more complicated when Papa Sudenko begins to match-make Irina and Andrey Lupesco, who also happens to be in a secret relationship with Galina. Family dinners are awkward. With danger closing in on all sides, Irina has to find her claws and learn to howl.

In the much-anticipated sequel to From Russia with Claws, readers get a new perspective of the lusty exploits of the untameable Sudenko family. Gia Corona and Jacey Conrad craft a delightful tale of the anything-but-average human Irina and the libidinous lycanthropes in her life.

REVIEW:
Did you read From Russia with Claws? If not, go read it :). But don’t worry too much because reading From Russia with Fangs will not mess you up, but you still should go read From Russia with Claws.
You see, From Russia with Claws is Galina’s story where as From Russia with Fangs is Irina’s (Galina’s older sister) story. The fun thing about these two stories is that both take place at the exact same time. But in From Russia with Fangs we get to see all the events from Irina’s point of view. So this story has of the same events that take place and a few of the same conversations as From Russia with Claws. But I got answers to questions I had at the end of From Russia with Claws.
While some people may think it is strange or not a good idea to write a book like this, I loved it. I loved seeing everything from Irina’s view. I loved getting to see Irina and Victor’s relationship grow. I am really liking this series. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Oh and I am hoping for a story about Nik and Kon *wink wink*

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Ring in your holiday season with all-new holiday shifter stories from today’s hottest paranormal romance writers.
From the sweetest of mating claims to the spiciest of holiday wishes come true, this set has a perfect present for every reader. Whether you’ve asked Santa for wolf shifters, werebears, or dragons, this box set of ALL NEW holiday tales from bestselling authors gives the best gift any lover of paranormal romance could want: a little naughty n’ nice with a whole lot of sugar n’ spice.

REVIEW:
My favorite story in this bundle was written by one of my favorite authors, Elianne Adams. The short story, Her Gingerbread Dragon was the sweetest love story that was just right for this time of year. Maddie and Luke are both strong characters independently and work really well together. I enjoyed them as a couple very much. This story is part two in Adams’ Dragon Blood series, so we got to see characters from the first story. I enjoyed getting that connection to previous characters. However this can definitely be read as a stand-alone. My only complaint is that we don’t get much of Maddie and Luke’s backstories. I know this is because of the length of the book, but I liked the characters so much I would have liked to get to know them a little better. I want more!

Kimberly reviews Bearing It All by Vonnie Davis

TITLE: Bearing It All
SERIES #: Highlander’s Beloved #3
CHARACTERS: Anisa & Ronan
AUTHOR: Vonnie Davis
PUBLICATION DATE: 10/27/15
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A Scottish hunter and a French secret agent find themselves on a collision course with danger—and irresistible desire—in Vonnie Davis’s new bear-shifting Highlander novel, perfect for fans of Jennifer Ashley and Shelly Laurenston.

In the pine-dense mountains of the Scottish Highlands, shape-shifter Ronan Matheson is running free when a desperate woman parachutes out of the sky, directly onto his furry, powerful chest. Instead of clawing her to death, Ronan’s inner bear longs to keep her safe. Once he’s back in human form, Ronan is amused by the mysterious beauty’s fearless attitude—and tempted by her expertly toned physique. But what could she possibly be doing in this isolated stretch of the Highlands?

French intelligence agent Anisa Brosseau never imagined she’d be on the CIA’s bad side—until she’s framed for treason and forced to flee in a stolen drone. Hiding out in a remote cabin, Anisa just needs some time to clear her name. What she doesn’t need is a brooding, muscle-bound Scot in a skimpy kilt to drive her crazy with lust. But when Anisa’s enemies come knocking on his door, Ronan calls on a secret weapon to protect his turf and the bonny lass he’s come to love.

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts While enjoyable this was not my favorite in the series. Something seemed to missing and after a while I realized it was the humor. Yes there was some but not like the last couple of books. What it did have was a lot of sappy lines which is not a bad thing but there was so many of them I wonder if Davis will have any lines left for the next book.

I liked Anisa in the beginning and I guess I continued to like her but I liked her more when she was tough and feisty. Being around Ronan made her a girly girl who somehow also lost her French accent. I liked Ronan when he was in the background of the other books and again I guess I still like him but he changed too in this book. He became so mushy that at some points it got ridiculous. And the connection he has with his bear is a bit odd. It is more like he and the bear are father and son more than two halves of the same being.

Ok now I know this might sound like I didn’t enjoy the book but I did. It just wasn’t the best in the series. While Ronan’s story needed to be told I look forward to the next in the series which I hope is Kendric’s story.

Winter Romance Wednesday! Kelly & Kimberly review A Silver Wolf Christmas by Terry Spear

TITLE: A Silver Wolf Christmas
SERIES #: Heart Of The Wolf #17
CHARACTERS: C.J. Silver & Laurel MacTire
AUTHOR: Terry Spear
PUBLICATION DATE: 10/06/15
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Fans of shapeshifter romance will be thrilled to spend Christmas with the Silver Town werewolf pack…

C.J. Silver is eager to help the new she-wolves in town renovate the old hotel in time for the holidays, especially if it means spending time under the mistletoe with the alluring Laurel MacTire.

The bustle in the long abandoned hotel attracts the attention of human ghosthunters out to prove the place haunted, but the bigger problem is keeping them from discovering the werewolves in Silver Town. CJ and Laurel have to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. Working together is a surprisingly hot holiday treat for two attractive and clever wolf shifters

KELLY’S REVIEW:
3 Hearts I enjoyed this story. I liked that it was set at Christmas time, yet didn’t have a huge “it’s a Christmas story” vibe. I really enjoyed C.J. and Laurel’s relationship. It was nice to see them grow as people and as a couple throughout this book. I enjoyed the ghostly elements of the story too.
I really liked the new wolfs we meet too. I am hoping that means more stories in the future :).
All and all this was another really good read by Ms. Spears

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
4 Hearts I enjoyed this story. It is set at Christmas but I wouldn’t exactly say it is a holiday story. But it is still an enjoyable shifting story with a bit of a different kind of paranormal and a bit of suspense.

In the beginning I had a bit of a problem with this book. CJ seemed like a teenager with his first crush. He was written very young but as the book moved forward he seemed to change into a man and not a teen. I liked Laurel right off. She is the alpha of her three sisters and seems really mature which is why I couldn’t see her and CJ together at first.

We learn that the girls are in town for more than renovating the old hotel and it begins to feel a little like a ghost story. Is there is a ghost wolf? A haunted hotel? And what happened to the previous owners and the girls aunt?

After I got more into the book I enjoyed it more. The beginning was a bit rough and I did have a bit of a problem with how quickly to the reader the romance happened. It seemed like one day they were interested in each other but distant and the next they were dating and then mated. It just seemed fast to me. But as the book moved on the romance became more real to them I enjoyed it more. The suspense part was an added enjoyment. As I said I don’t know that I would call this a Christmas story even though it is brought up a few times but as a fan of paranormal romance you will enjoy it no matter what time of year it is.

Kimberly reviews Wolf Trouble by Paige Tyler

TITLE: Wolf Trouble
SERIES #: SWAT #2
CHARACTERS: Xander & Khaki
AUTHOR: Paige Tyler
PUBLICATION DATE: 08/04/15
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
He’s in trouble with a capital T…

There’s never been a female on the Dallas SWAT team and Senior Corporal Xander Riggs prefers it that way. The elite pack of alpha male wolfshifters is no place for a woman. But Khaki Blake is no ordinary woman.

When Khaki walks through the door attractive as hell and smelling like heaven, Xander doesn’t know what the heck to do. Worse, she’s put under his command and Xander’s protective instincts go on high alert. When things start heating up both on and off the clock, it’s almost impossible to keep their heads in the game and their hands off each other…

REVIEW:
I had a bit of a hard time with this book. It seemed so slow and while the story was good it dragged and dragged.

Something was just off. It didn’t seem to flow very well especially where Khaki was concerned. They match between Khaki and Xander is good. They fit really well together but it is the parts without Xander that just don’t seem to work for me.

I am sure the next in the series will be better. In my experience the second in the series is always a hard book to read.

Kelly reviews Chase the Darkness by JD Tyler

TITLE: Chase the Darkness
SERIES #: Alpha Pack #7
CHARACTERS: Micah Chase & Jacee
AUTHOR: JD Tyler
PUBLICATION DATE: August 4, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The author of Wolf’s Fall returns with her “hot and to die for”* Alpha Pack—a top-secret band of Navy SEALs with Psy powers and shifter prowess whose dangerous missions sometimes require a more intimate call to duty…

Believed dead by his Pack mates, Micah Chase, a wolf shifter and Dreamwalker, was held captive for months, subject to tortures that left him physically scarred and emotionally unsettled.

Now under the care of the Alpha Pack’s doctors, he’s been prescribed an experimental healing drug, but he still can’t shake the nightmares. Even more damning is that Micah’s problems pose a danger to his team, and if he doesn’t get himself under control, they’ll all suffer a terrible fate.

There is a key to his salvation. Jacee is a beautiful coyote shifter, and though her kind is hated, she’s falling in love with a man whose very future is in her hands. Together they’ll face his personal demons as well as a deadly enemy—and for both of them desire has never come with such risk.

REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts Chase the Darkness is Micah’s story. We had learned of Micah at the beginning of the series. But he was captured and the Alpha Pack had thought he was dead. But after being rescued Micah could not remember the depth of the pain and horrors he went throught. But as time went by more and more memories came out. Micah has so many demons in this book. But it was good to see him work through them. Thankfully Micah has found his mate.
Jacee has always known what the Alpha Pack was, well not exactly, but she knew they were shifters. What she didn’t know was that her mate has been there waiting for her. So when Micah walks into her bar reality hits her like a ton of bricks. But the question is will she be strong enough to be his mate?
Chase the Darkness was another good story in the Alpha Pack series. I really enjoyed watching Micah become himself again. I liked getting to know Jacee better. And as always it was great to see all the Alpha Pack shifters. Chase the Darkness was good, but a little slow for me at times. But I enjoyed it. And the ending. Can’t wait to see what is in store next.
