Sergei is a happy gargoyle since he found his perfect mate in Aman. There is nothing that he wouldn’t do for her, as long as it doesn’t involve her leaving his side. Sergei hadn’t anticipated how frustrating it would be to convince her that they were meant to be together.

Aman tries her best to resist the hot, headstrong man but always winds up in his bed. All she wants is a little freedom in her new life and to not be treated like a possession. If Aman does not submit to Sergei soon, there is no telling what might happen.

A battle of wills turns into a victory for the couple and the readers in Gargoyle’s Wrath. Sergei’s strength and determination to have Aman is only rivaled by his love for her. There is nothing more appealing than an Alpha in love. Sam and Gregori stole my attention and I hope to read more about them.

In a post WWIII world, vampires rule the earth and humans are their prisoners. All humans live their lives in Quarantines and must offer “tributes” to their captors to ensure survival. When it is time for Nadya to be a tribute to the vampire overlord Jalen, she is eager to go. Unlike most humans who tremble in fear of him, Nadya yearns to be the beloved one of the notoriously cruel vampire ruler.

This book was simply awesome! I was drawn into the story immediately and swept away by the raw passion and heart pounding adventure. Ms. Tunstall’s superior writing had me truly feel as if I had been immersed the post apocalyptic world she had created. The story is the first in a series, so when the book I had become so wrapped up in ended, I was not only disappointed but angry. I urgently wanted more of the saga of Jalen and Nadya, and so will anyone who reads this book.

Vampire Union: Subjugated is a superior read. I cannot wait for the next book to come out. I highly recommend the book to anyone and everyone who appreciates a very well written story. Bravo, Ms. Tunstall, you have done the literary world proud.

With a job that hinges on his ability to go unnoticed, Vincent can’t afford to have distractions. Meeting Oscar, a guy who shouldn’t have noticed Vincent to begin with, is damaging his talent of blending in. Oscar may be a nice diversion from his work, but now is not the time for Vincent to be led astray. When it appears the cops are on to him it’s time for Vincent to make a quick decision.

Oscar is a risk taker, and could care less who may be watching at the time. Making Vincent squirm in public is just the beginning of Oscar’s plans. He’s not about to let Vincent walk away from him without trying everything he can to stop him.

Exposure: The Sun takes readers along on Vincent’s mysterious job, and his surprise visits from Oscar. Remaining invisible to the average eye is part of Vincent’s appeal when he’s hired for a job. The all too sexy Oscar has somehow breached his shields of anonymity, and if Vincent doesn’t change the way things are headed, he may find himself behind bars. Kit Zheng gives each of her new characters a talent that sets them apart from the rest. The action escalates when job related tension and sizzling chemistry are added to the mix. This is a short story that will draw the reader’s interest with its unique storyline, and keep them hooked until the well-written end.

This anthology starts off with a sweet tale of a woman named Gabby who has been physically drawn into the plot of her favorite book. Lord Devlin McCalister is the main character who mistakes her for another. Readers would think this tale has already been written and that Gabby is just following along with the script- but they’d be wrong.

The sweet romances continue with a tale of the oldest love imaginable, the love between a woman and her husband. She’s had a feeling of Déjà vu. Mix it in with some mistletoe and a love for kissing and you have a Christmas to be remembered.

A classic story of boy meets girl but this girl has a cast on her leg. The family thinks no one is good enough for their Deidre. Cabin fever motivates her to go out with a new friend who may not be exactly what she expects. Her parent’s disapproval may be all that’s needed to make things work.

Letting go can sometimes mean coming together. Communication has broken down for Grace and John. A present under the tree and a few honest, spoken words might change everything. This story proves that the magic of making love can heal some wrongs.

Soonsee has been warned about the Fair Folk. Her grandmother even gave her a talisman for protection. A price must be paid for a Yule tree and Soonsee didn’t pay hers. A distant secret may change the path her lonely life has taken up until now. Readers will find a delightful world of enchanting characters written here.

Yet another man has left Siobhan alone, and at Christmas no less. With her family gone shopping and her birthday coming up it seems logical to spend time with her good friend Ethan. He’s never approved of any boyfriend she ever had. She may think that casual sex can erase all of her pain but he has a different agenda in mind.

Sophie and David end up alone on the most celebrated evening of the year- Einmal nach a Modresnach, or The Night of the Mothers. Sophie is awakened from her sexy dream and pulled into an even sexier situation, or what that the dream? A new single mother does not a sexpot make, or so Sophie thinks. Someone may just prove her wrong.

How does a depressed chef end up in farm town baking cakes for Christmas? And all alone for the holidays. When a green-eyed Dominic Marlow shows up from out of town all of chef Julia feels all the holiday blues slip away. Is love at first sight even possible? Julia Alston certainly hopes so.

Readers will be enthralled by the many choices of romance in this Winter anthology. The sweet ones will make you ‘ahhh’ and the tangy ones will make you ‘ohhh’ but all of them will leave a satisfied read in your heart.

Tombstone Ranch starts out in the year 1881 with Jake Mathers making a living by doing odd jobs and gambling in Tombstone, Arizona. While playing cards one night, a stranger dressed all in black arrives in town and quickly catches Jake’s attention. He soon discovers the stranger William Tolliver is looking for him and has a message from his brother, Jason. After a night of drunken contemplating, Jake decides to return home to Boston with William the following morning.

After an emotional reunion with his brother, Jake and William have a passionate tryst culminating in Jake’s neck being bitten! Upon awakening the next morning, Jake learns William is gone and left him a note welcoming him to the world of legend and briefly explaining some of the dos and don’ts of his new condition.

When next we see Jake the year is 2281 and he’s running a mining ranch in Tombstone on the planet Ephesia. It’s there he meets Les Westwood, who’s looking for work and soon wants Jake to be more than just his boss. Jake is unable to deny his attraction for Les and once they give in to their passions, he slowly starts allowing himself to enjoy having a lover again but fails to tell Les about who and what he is. What will happen when Les finds out the truth? Will their relationship survive or will Jake face losing another lover?

Tombstone Ranch is a terrific short story about two men learning to trust each other and possibly more. Even though the word love is never said, you can definitely see it and feel it between Jake and Les. This reviewer enjoyed being in the old west, the different take on vampirism, and traveling to a new planet in the future. Kudos to Shayne Carmichael for writing such an imaginative, refreshing and thoroughly satisfying story in so small a package!

Kelsie Stanton is all ready for some spring break celebration with her plans to visit her cousin in St. Petersburg, Florida. As luck would have it a freak blizzard causes a stand still at the airport. While everyone is waiting for hotel accommodations, Tom Smith strikes up a conversation with Kelsie. They just seemed to connect and end up in each others arms after a while. Is spring break the time to make life-altering change in plans?

Kelsie is finally feeling free after living all her life under the thumb of an overprotective mother. She felt quite sane but her rash decision of having sex with a totally unknown person bothered me a bit. Tom is ready to experience life after a stressful past and gives a hundred percent while having mind blowing sex.

Change of Plans is a hot account of a spring break weekend that ends up in snow rather than sun and surf. Kelsie and Tom act on their passions rather than thinking with their heads. Their explosive sexual encounters are enjoyable but their decisions can’t be respected. Romance was a bit missing from their tale as they spend their time having sex in every way possible, not pausing to communicate. Ms. Hill has added in an escaped convict for some action but everything resolves quickly. It is an erotic tale that would work very well if the reader wants instant gratification without bothering with too many details.

Bria and Darius found love in spite of being from opposing werewolf clans. They were forcibly separated by their warring families but have found one another again. This time they are determined to be together forever.

The premise for this book was very good, and the fight scenes were very exciting. I am a huge fan of romance that is liberally spiced with adventure, but was disappointed by the lack of romantic beauty in the story. Many of the terms used for sex were rather crass and not erotic at all. Erotica should be explicit but gracefully picturesque and moving at the same time.

Another problem I had with this book was the way wolves were portrayed. The story reinforced many of the ill found stereotypes that exist about the glorious creatures. Wolves are some of the most noble and wonderful animals on the planet and they should be portrayed as such.
Howl for Me has its moments, and as an action/adventure book I can recommend it to all who enjoy that genre.

Jenny Lad couldn’t pass up the perfect opportunity to reveal her feelings for her boss. Dressing like a harem girl and dancing seductively was certain to grab Damon’s attention.

Damon Alexander wasn’t sure if Jenny knew what she had done when she publicly offered herself to him, but the shifter in him was more than happy to take her as his mate. Would she accept him, once Damon told her the truth about himself?

L.A. Day took me to fantasy land with Dancing For The Wolf. The description of Jenny’s rousing routine with Damon salivating on the sidelines was such a rush. I dote on the lay out of the story that built to a humorously hot conclusion.

Landon and Dark are lovers and leading a satisfying and happy life together until people around them start dying. As they put together the pieces of the macabre puzzle they realize something is coming for them. It is something that is not quite animal and not quite human; a beast bent on revenge and destruction.

This book was excellent. Kate Steele is to be applauded on her style, talent, and story telling abilities. The love scenes between Lan and Dark were nothing short of beautiful, and the bond the two men shared went so much deeper than love. I found Red Cloud Wolves 3: Facets of Night to be very entertaining and recommend it to anyone who wants to read a story by a lady that can weave an exceptional tale.

Being bitten by a demon has left Elena cursed. She is a marked woman who consumes the soul of any victim she has sex with. Only one being can save Elena from those who are hunting her. She would do anything to be rid of her unnatural cravings.

Drake Oblivion is a demon of lust who is burdened with the heart of a man. He knows Elena was sent to destroy him, but he can’t deny her his help. He would have to bind with her in order to save her life. Failure was not an option for either of them.
Montgomery will easily capture your attention with Elena and Drake’s story of Bound In Lust. The cure for Elena’s curse is the most rejuvenating medicine and I want a prescription just like it. The strong need between Elena and Drake made for a very raw and emotional union and I cannot wait to see what dangers they face in their next story

All of her life, Chantal Montgomery had been groomed to take over the family hotel business. It wasn’t until the last minute that her aunt told her about the one condition that would change her life. If Chantal didn’t marry the man her father picked 10 years earlier, her aunt would continue to control the business until Chantal turned thirty. Finding out that her intended fiancé was the one man she carried a torch for was the biggest shock of all.

Stephan Lexington was not happy about his pending arranged marriage, but he had to go through with it for the family jewelry business. It was so easy to fall for Chantal, but Stephan did not want to be second in her heart , after her work. As long as he could keep his distance from her, his heart would remain in one piece.

Merger and matrimony make the sexual tension leap of the pages in The Marriage Clause. Hines blended the right amount of history with the present and that allows you to bond with the characters so much more. Tyler has sparked my interest and captured my heart. Anything Hines has on the back burner is bound to be a delicious read that won’t miss.

Llaryn is a Mriln healer who broke the law. She healed a non-Mriln and because of this she could be exiled by her people. Well, that reason and the mind blowing sex she had outside her species. The leader of the VanDai, Paladin, wants Llaryn and he always gets what he wants. No law is going to keep his woman from him or jeopardize her life. Llaryn would adjust to her new place in Paladin’s world and his bed no matter what she said.

Paladin’s Pride 4: Seducing Llaryn is an “all or nothing” romance that proves the power of love. Llaryn can’t fight her attraction to Paladin even though her life will be altered and Paladin will do anything to keep her by his side. Evans will not disappoint you with this passionate pair.
