Review: City Girl, Country Wolf: A Paranormal Shifter Biker Romance

City Girl, Country Wolf: A Paranormal Shifter Biker Romance by Aubrey Rose

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



A sexy page-turner from start to finish!

Ruby is consumed by work. She doesn't have time in her life for dating and hasn't even considered looking for love. Heading to Nebraska to fix the mess her co-worker made of one of the most lucrative business deals she's headed in a long time isn't something she has time for, but her boss makes it clear that she has no choice.

Jason is a wolf in the middle of war. When Ruby shows up to negotiate a business deal with the leader of a rival pack, he can't deny the instant lust he feels for the curvy beauty he finds stranded in the Nebraska countryside, but he questions who she really is and if he can trust her, or his growing attraction.

Ruby doesn't understand why the handsome man who rescues her stirs her passions like no one she's met before, but giving in to her attraction isn't a priority, not when her boss is depending on her sealing the deal. When her night is interrupted by a wolf pack the wild beauty of the beasts both scares and intrigues her. When she is attacked by the CEO after their meeting, Josh again rides to the rescue. The shocking discovery that he, and the wolves who visited her last night, are more than they appear only serves to fuel her lust and attraction.

Giving in to the emotional high fueling that night is the most sexually satisfying experience of Josh and Ruby's life, but can a City Girl and a Country Wolf find a way to turn one night of passion into more?

City Girl, Country Wolf is a well written paranormal adventure from the erotic pen of Aubrey Rose. An entertaining short story, it's steamy characters are ones I hope to see more of in the future. The ending doesn't leave readers hanging, but hints at the potential for more stories to come!

Review: Through the Window

Through the Window by Hollis Shiloh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Known for sweetly romantic stories, this latest offering is different from any of Shiloh's previous books. Through the Window is a dark and emotional story that contains complex characters that have been deeply damaged by life.

I absolutely loved this story. I loved the complexity and the darkness in Alphonse’s character as well as the insecurities Luke struggled with regarding his boxing career. It was pure magic watching their love for each other grow from a dark and needy place into warmth. It could have been a disaster. They could have stumbled and never gotten back up again. It is honest and raw and real. Because of the intensity, I had to set it aside a couple of times because of how deeply the emotions impacted me. I just needed to not think about it for awhile and come back to it later..... but I was ALWAYS drawn back to the story. I couldn’t put it down completely until I had finished it. I had to alter my expectations, that were based on earlier writings, and judge this book on it’s own merits.

The story is enhanced with deliciously steamy sexual encounters and are very intense and detailed in a way that Shiloh has not written in a story before. Some people may be turned off by it, others will love it.... I know I did!

I highly recommend that you read Jude's Magic prior to starting this book as Through the Window contains many of the same characters. Jude's Magic provides lots of insight and backstory that will enhance your reading experience and understanding of the main character, Alphonse.

This is one book you don't want to miss!

Review: Taming the Alpha

Taming the Alpha by Adriana Hunter

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Nikki lives a hard life, and not entirely by choice. Her parents never cared for her as a child, focused instead on their own selfish behavior. She never finished high-school, works as a stripper, and has had a string of failed relationships. Her heart yearns to find a man who will see through the life she lives and love her for who she is on the inside.

Jax is a werewolf who is struggling to find his way. The tragic and unexpected death of his parents thrust him into the position of pack Alpha. He knows that they depend on him for stability and leadership, but the strain the changes have put on his relationship with his younger brother and lack of a mate to share his burden is starting to show.

Nikki and Jax are instantly drawn to each other. Jax heart tells him she is his mate, but she is human and is unaware of the existence of wolves. He worries that the pack won't accept her as his mate as it goes against every tradition they have long held sacred.

A rash of unexplained murders near Nikki's club put her life in danger, and Jax is willing to do anything to protect her. Even if it means running the risk of revealing his wolf side and losing the woman he loves.

A well written and emotionally engaging paranormal romance with complicated characters and a complex storyline, Taming the Alpha is a fast paced erotic romance that left me howling for more!

Review: Angel's Power

Angel's Power by Erin M. Leaf

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



When darkness enters the angelic world once again, only those with powerful secrets of their own are able to stand against the oncoming destruction.

Suriel's angelic marks are imbibed with the powerful magic granted only to a sorcerer. He can speak to the wind and sees terrifying glimpses of the future. Despite his angelic status, he experiences flashes of power and disturbing premonitions that are unstable at best and overwhelming when at their worst. He has spent the last years hidden away, working tirelessly to gain control of his powers, but now feels compelled to travel to Castle Archangel and assist in the escalating fight against their Demon enemies. While his mother encourages him to look for a mate during his time away, Suriel would never risk the life of his most beloved by binding her to his treacherous powers.

Ariel serves as a trusted advisor to her brother, angel Alpha Gabriel. Her ability to maintain order amidst the haughty and self-serving attitudes displayed by the ancient angelic council is invaluable. No one suspects that her delicate body bears a disturbing secret--her angelic marks are slowly changing. Dark blues and faint silver hues now mottle the formerly luxurious brown marks. Since these changes are also mirrored in her wings, she fears the changes may be a sign of illness.

Suriel's unexpected arrival at Castle Archangel could not have come at a better time. There are disturbing shifts in the very foundation of the ancient castle's magic, but even more upsetting is the unexpected impact that Suriel and Ariel have on each other. As the demonic influences grow they are forced to work together to protect their people. The continued proximity only adds fuel to the simmering flames of their growing attraction. When tensions between the two finally reach a breaking point, their individual secrets are exposed and the explosive outcome is beyond their wildest imaginings.

ANGEL'S POWER, the second book in Erin M. Leaf's Angel Shifters series, is a fast paced and well written example of paranormal erotic romance at its best. With emotionally complex characters, an adventurous storyline and tantalizing sexual chemistry, this novella-length story engaged my attention from start to finish!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Complex and emotional!

Tara started her life thinking that she was a princess, loved by all.

Review: Breaking the Ice

Breaking the Ice by Jessica Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An impressive literary adventure; five out of five stars!

Mikah Malloy is a lion in hiding. Considering that his parents had both attempted to assassinate his pride's leader for being gay, it could be said that he was lucky the pride even let him stay. Tormented by the knowledge that he had caused his mother's death by protecting his leader from her hatred, Mikah was steadily drinking his way along a path towards self-destruction.

Along with the weight his own guilt, he also carried the secret of his attraction to other men. He'd been keeping that particular secret for most of his life, knowing his parents would have considered him an abomination and cast him away. He was tired. Tired of others looking at him with a mixture of suspicion and fear. Tired of hiding his true feelings from his pride. Mostly, he was tired of always feeling alone, but who would want to mate with the son of traitors? It was a taint he wasn't willing to pass on to his worst enemy, let alone someone he loved. Most days Mikah wished for death, because without the ability to love and no end in sight, what was there left to live for?

Gideon Haven, eldest of his pack alpha's twin sons by minutes, would give anything to escape the isolated environment of their Alaskan home. Restlessness consumes his spirit and is the driving force behind his infamous temper and reckless disregard of his own safety. More than willing to secede leadership of the pack to his more diplomatic twin brother, Gideon dreams of shaking the snow off his paws and exploring the world.

Determined to save Mikah from himself, his pride leader brings him on an Alaskan vacation in an attempt to give him a new perspective on life. There Mikah meets Gideon, but the attraction they feel for each other is overshadowed by danger; wolves are being slaughtered for their pelts. Adding the desperate hunt for an escalating killer to Mikah's emotional damage and Gideon's jealous ex only complicates an already complex situation. Can two restless shifters, who want nothing more than to escape, find peace in each other's arms or will their differences drive them apart?

A well written and emotionally engaging paranormal romance, BREAKING THE ICE has a fast paced and well developed story line that I found entertaining from start to finish! Third in the Ariel Estates series, BREAKING THE ICE can be read on its own, but characters from the first two books make appearances that are sure to delight fans!
