Book Summary

 

When female wolf shifter Taryn Warner first encounters Trey Coleman, an alpha male wolf shifter with a dangerous reputation, she’s determined to resist his charms. After all, Trey—who was only fourteen when he defeated his own father in a duel, winning the right to be alpha of his pack—can’t have anything to offer the talented healer besides trouble, or so she thinks.

Taryn finds herself drawn in by Trey’s forceful demeanor and arctic-blue eyes, and she eventually agrees to enter an uneasy alliance with him. If the two succeed in convincing their respective packs that they’ve chosen each other as mates, Trey will win valuable political allies, while Taryn will escape an odious arranged mating.

But there are a lot of potential pitfalls to this plan—including the very real possibility that the wolf shifters, overwhelmed by their growing attraction to each other, will be unable to maintain the clear heads needed to pull off the deception.

  

 

My Review

 

Oh my goodness. I don’t think I’ve been blow away by a story like this in a while. For me this was a winner. I couldn’t think of one bad thing to say about it. Everything about the story made since and was plausible. The romance happened at a realistic pace.

And talk about HOT! Trey was one of the best book boyfriends I’ve had in a long time. He was everything an aphla male should be and more. OMG!

This book had me staying up to read (listen). I couldn’t stop. I think I’m addicted.

All I can say is that the story had everything a PRN should have, hot romance, action and great story line. If you love paranormal romance, I’m highly suggesting this one.

My Review

 

I’m just going to say it. There are so many books out there; it’s hard sometimes to find the good ones. There are a lot of stories with potential that don’t deliver. Sorry. And it’s not indie vs. traditionally because I’ve blasted traditionally published authors (not indie turned) as well.

However, I marvel at the difference when an author takes the time to research a story and make sure all the I’s are dotted and t’s crossed instead of putting out crap and having blogger’s market them to their friends or whatever. And then get a ton of excellent ratings.

This story is well thought out from beginning to end. I could find no plot holes or maybe I was so swept away by the story I missed it. That isn’t often though. And if so, well, the point is they did such a wonderful job of covering it up, I missed it.

Anyway, pick this one up. It’s available in one book in paperback or ebook and three parts in audio.

My Review

 

Oh my hot alpha male. Okay, this story has all the elements for angst without the annoying factor. Really, never was I screaming where is the sex. I was just caught up in the story and the moments wondering what would happen next.

I will say I was shocked by one turn of event with her father. While I saw what was up with Phillip, I never….

Anyway, the explosion of when things come to a head, lol, was well worth the wait. And boy I’m super excited I didn’t have to wait for the next part.

Please be reminded, if you are reading, then you will get all three parts in one book. Only audio is still in three parts.

PLEASE NOTE - To all you authors out there - This seasoned traditionally published author had one of the main characters admitting that they were "Falling in Love" after several weeks. No insta love here. AWESOME.

My Review

 

First let me say how stupid I was to wait to read. I was so familiar with her adult paranormal side and her young adult dystopian with a paranormal twist side, I wasn’t sure about this. How hard can it be to do straight romance if you can do paranormal and dystopian ones? In this case, not hard at all.

There is a hot alpha male who harbors demons in the metaphor sense. He’s got a ton of issues and is trying to protect a girl from a future she’s colliding with because of her own curiosity.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I’m damn happy I finally read (listened). I'm also glad all part were available as this ended on a minor cliffy.

If you don’t do audio, this book is available as one with all three parts put together. If you listen, you’ll have to get each part individually.

Book Summary

 

I’ve battled the Reapers of Chaos before–and survived. But this time I have a Bad, Bad Feeling it’s going to be a fight to the death … most likely mine.

Yeah, I’ve got my psychometry magic, my talking sword, Vic–and even the most dangerous Spartan on campus at my side, in Logan freaking Quinn, but I’m no match for Loki, the evil Norse god of chaos. I may be Nike’s Champion, but at heart, I’m still just Gwen Frost, that weird Gypsy girl everyone at school loves to gossip about.

Then someone I love is put in more danger than ever before, and something inside me snaps. This time, Loki and his Reapers are going down for good … or I am.

 

 

My Review 

Call me shocked. I had no idea this was the last book. I just don’t have the time to follow my favorite authors. And when their books are spaced out a half a year or more, I tend to lose track. I also don’t read book blurbs unless it’s a new author or series and I’m curious if I want to read. I like being surprised and too often, the blurb is a summary of the book leaving nothing for the imagination.

While I’ve read this series from the beginning, this book had a distinctive middle grade feel which was a bit disappointing. However, I was engaged nonetheless. I guess I hoped for a bit more considering…

What really amazed me more was the message. I love acts of selflessness. And this story had it. I also thought it was a plus that even though there wasn’t a true epilogue, one was incorporated somewhat in the final chapter. I won’t say more and give anything away.

Audio Review

Tara Sands continues to do an excellent job with narration.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series and was thrilled they finally brought it to audio because it wasn’t initially.

Book Summary

 

The incomparable J. D. Robb presents the latest moving and suspenseful novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Eve Dallas series.

In a decrepit, long-empty New York building, Lieutenant Eve Dallas’s husband begins the demolition process by swinging a sledgehammer into a wall. When the dust clears, there are two skeletons wrapped in plastic behind it. He summons his wife immediately—and by the time she’s done with the crime scene, there are twelve murders to be solved.

The place once housed a makeshift shelter for troubled teenagers, back in the mid-2040s, and Eve tracks down the people who ran it. Between their recollections and the work of the force’s new forensic anthropologist, Eve begins to put names and faces to the remains. They are all young girls. A tattooed tough girl who dealt in illegal drugs. The runaway daughter of a pair of well-to-do doctors. They all had their stories. And they all lost their chance for a better life.

Then Eve discovers a connection between the victims and someone she knows. And she grows even more determined to reveal the secrets of the place that was called The Sanctuary—and the evil concealed in one human heart.

 

 

My Review

 

 

This book sets up like a previous installment. At first I was like has she written so many books she’s repeating a previous storyline. As the plot progresses, this story is most certainly its own. It’s multilayered and gripping. It’s always sad to read about crimes against the young.

I have to say I pinpointed the killer early own. But as usual, the author made me second guess myself along the way which is always very good.

I adore the secondary characters. We didn’t get the whole crew this go around, but there was enough to keep me engaged.

Overall, I have a feeling that the authors is slowly setting up this series to wrap up. Will Eve have a kid and take a promotion at work? She doesn’t seem as opposed to kids as much these days.

Audio Review

Susan Erickson is an amazing narrator. She continues to do an excellent job with this series.
