Marcus: Hellsquad (Netgalley) eARC Review!






BLURB:


In the aftermath of a deadly alien invasion, a band of survivors fights on… 

In a world gone to hell, Elle Milton—once the darling of the Sydney social scene—has carved a role for herself as the communications officer for the toughest commando team fighting for humanity’s survival—Hell Squad. It’s her chance to make a difference and make up for horrible past mistakes…despite the fact that its battle-hardened commander never wanted her on his team. 

When Hell Squad is tasked with destroying a strategic alien facility, Elle knows they need her skills in the field. But first she must go head to head with Marcus Steele and convince him she won’t be a liability. 

Marcus Steele is a warrior through and through. He fights to protect the innocent and give the human race a chance to survive. And that includes the beautiful, gutsy Elle who twists him up inside with a single look. The last thing he wants is to take her into a warzone, but soon they are thrown together battling both the alien invaders and their overwhelming attraction. And Marcus will learn just how much he’ll sacrifice to keep her safe.



MY REVIEW:

Even though this story is a short one, it has a hell of a lot of action! Its almost non-stop in fact and I thought that was fabulous because I had a hard time putting it down. 

The characters are good and solid and I felt like the plot was really thought out. In fact, I almost feel like this could happen if we ever had an alien invasion, so the realness was a nice touch. Plus we had so much military-like weapons and air crafts to add to that realness as well. Even though we have a TON of action with the constant attacks of different creatures and aliens, we still had that spark of passion between Marcus and Elle so we got a good romance in between to make it perfect for me since I am a HUGE romance fanatic.

I give an ASTOUNDING FOUR SHOOTING STARS to Marcus: Hellsquad. Its action-packed, sizzling romance, and characters will leave you on the edge of your seat and breathless. I am looking forward to the next one in this series!

All Or Nothing by TL Reeve ARC Review!




BLURB:

Quin Abraham had it all. A great job, a nice apartment, and a loving Master—or so she thought. Starting over is never easy, but is flying across the ocean to Spain the right decision to make? 

Joaquin de la Fuente never expected to find love the minute the sexy submissive Quin Abraham, walked through his door. On the first day on the job, she tore apart his business model and captured his heart. 

After a night at the Villa, Joaquin offers her a contract—six weeks to learn once more what it means to be a sub. No strings attached. However, agreeing to the terms and following through is harder than it seems. 

Can Quin overcome her fears and accept Joaquin as her Master or will she be as her ex claims, good for nothing? 



MY REVIEW:

I don't read a lot of short stories, but when I get offered to read ones that are written by TL Reeve, I don't hesitate because I know she will make it good for me. And I didn't get disappointed with All or Nothing. This was a truly captivating read. It was so erotic that I found myself pausing throughout the story to fan myself and to jump in to a cool shower to settle down. I absolutely LOVED the name for our hero, Joaquin de la Fuente. It sounds exotic and erotic at the same time! 

This short story is about a young woman who had everything she could want: A great place to live, a job she loved, and a master who she thought adored her. Things unfortunately isn't what it seems and soon everything is gone along with the Master who uncollared her in front of the whole club. I REALLY felt bad for her and understood her need to try to keep her distance from Joaquin at first. But with his sexy determination and his strong will, soon Quin is submitting to him and falling for him.

To say this story was pleasing is putting it mildly. I loved the idea of the story and enjoyed every second of it! Every time I finish a story by TL Reeve, I keep hoping and praying that the next one, will be even longer because I find her work just that irresistible! I give All or Nothing a FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Its delicious and wicked and will give every erotic lover out there a taste of the forbidden!

Archangel Zach Blog Tour with Excerpt and Buy links!





EXCERPT:

Her fingers were strong, tensile, her nails short and slightly discolored with a rainbow of paint colors beneath. With no nonsense moves, she pushed open the V to reveal the paler flesh of her belly. Scalloped white lace panties that matched the bra beneath her shirt peeked through her fingers until she pushed the delicate, sexy fabric out of the way. Her mark was low on her belly, right over the second chakra, the sacral chakra, a pleasure center. The three rings that resembled a target symbol were barely visible in the misty gray air.
Zach dropped to his knees.
He wouldn’t confess that for a moment, he’d gone weak. That his body refused to support him as all blood zoomed to his cock. The second chakra was the center of emotion, pleasure and sensuality. He gripped her hips in his hands, the damp jeans abraded his rough palms. He had to have close contact with her mark in order to do the final transfer of power. He hadn’t really thought through this situation because this particular issue had never been a problem before.
“What do you…have to do?” Her voice trembled.
“It will only take a minute. But I must touch you with my mouth.”
“Oh,” she said faintly as if she were as affected as he was.
Heat rose from her skin and seared him. Zach’s nose was mere inches away from her belly. He inhaled slowly, absorbing her lavender and pinon scent into his lungs, committing her unique smell to his memory. A lighter musk of arousal entwined with the aroma of her skin. Damn the Cosmos, she was as turned on as he was.
He couldn’t think about that right now.
Best to get this over with. Zach held back a groan as he pressed his lips to the mark and pushed the balance of her power into her body. The moment his mouth touched her soft skin, her muscles contracted at the contact.
A soft, “Oh,” broke the air.
The transfer was over but Zach couldn’t draw away from her. The lace from her panties scraped against his chin and he nuzzled her belly with his nose. The carnal urge to press his mouth to the spot and taste her skin, her essence beat in his pulse like a heavy bass.
“I need to taste you.” He’d spoken those words to her before. Long ago. Just like the last time, he went against all sensibility and gave in to his baser instincts.
He swirled his tongue once over her mark. The forbidden caress fired his blood. He was about to back away when her fingers twisted in his hair and pulled him tight against her skin. And she moaned.
The sound was barely there over the rushing river, the fall of rain on her mother’s tin roof, and the shush of tires on the wet pavement. But he heard the sensual groan as if she’d screamed from the top of the mountain.

Accompanied by volunteers from his tiger streak and Jeremy’s wolf pack, they set off on the perilous mission and if they are successful, they’ll not only save the white tigers from their horrific existence, but he’ll be able to complete the bonding with his mate—that is as long as Andrei, the other male tiger agrees to the threesome.

MY REVIEW:

I have been looking forward to the third installment of Lynne's Anamchara Series since I read and reviewed book 2 and I am happy to say I was NOT disappointed. The third book is called Embracing Her Love and it is about a beautiful and brave rare white tiger shifter named Anushka, who comes to find her mother's best friend from YEARS ago, Ben Parker at Anamchara, to see if he can help rescue her parents, mate, and her streak from the evil person who has captured and kept them in captivity for years. What Anushka never expected was to find another mate in his son, who also happens to go by the name Ben as well.

This is one action-packed, paranormal thrill ride that left me aching and on the edge of my seat. The passion is strong between Anushka and Ben and even, though Anushka is confused, she can't help but be drawn to him, even though she knows she already has a mate waiting for her rescue. Things are a bit crazed at first because once she arrives at Anamchara, Ben and his streak along with some of the other shifter friends of his, are busy planning a rescue. Once they save everyone from Anushka's streak, things really begin to heat up fast between Ben, Anushka, and Andrei. Its a bit bumpy at first, but soon all three are on a sensual ride together that left me completely breathless and mesmerized. 

Another big thing about this book, heck this series that I love, is the mix of shifters and other magic entities that live in Anamchara. We have some Faeries and some angels as well. I absolutely LOVE this place! We have some great secondary characters as well as some favorites of mine from previous books. I think Embracing Her Love is a great book with a fabulous storyline. Lynne knows how to weave a tale of action, magic, and sensual delight in her Anamchara books that I find so appealing. Its precisely why I give this book an OUTSTANDING FOUR AND A HALF SHOOTING STARS! Its magnificently written and will keep you at your ereader until the very last page.

Fated For Mikayla (Wolves of River's Bend 3) by Suzette Rose Cauler ARC Review!




BLURB:



Mikayla Lowell loves hard. When one of her best friends goes missing, she leaves the shifter community of River’s Bend to look for her in the big city. No good deed goes unpunished, though, and Mikayla is kidnapped by two men claiming to be her mates.
Wolf shifters Jack Marrok and Hunter Lyall never expected to kidnap their own mate, but it’s the only way to protect her from a ruthless evil. Then comes the hard part. Not only do they have to convince Mikayla to trust them, but they also have to get her safely back to River’s Bend, a task she doesn’t make easy.
Despite the powerful mating bond, things are not simple for the trio. Mikayla loves River’s Bend and intends to spend her life there, but Jack and Hunter vow never to live under an alpha’s rule again. Can love flourish despite their differences? Will a threat to River’s Bend destroy everything they hold dear anyway?




MY REVIEW:


I have been a HUGE fan of Suzetee's Wolves of River Bend since the first one, and when I had the opportunity to read and review her third book in the series I was both excited and a bit leery. I was excited because it was another book in the series and since I enjoyed the first two books in the series, I couldn't imagine passing up on the third. However, I was leery because there is a bit of sex in partial shifted form and to be honest, that had me cringing, wondering how bad it could be. Especially since I try to avoid books with that time of sex in it since it creeps me out. So I am pleased to say the sex was not even close to being as bad as I imagined. Thank goodness! 

I loved the whole kidnapping the mate theme that was going on. I always find that to be seriously HOT and Jack and Hunter definitely made it HOT HOT HOT. Especially as they kidnap her to protect her from someone that is beyond dangerous. The moment they kidnap Mikayla, Its hard for these three to hold back their hunger for each other. All three feel the passion brewing between them and the sexual tension is electrifying and crackling. The characters battle each other as they try to find their common ground but they also come together beautifully as well. The story is written good with very little errors. Jack and Hunter are some seriously delicious men. They treat their mate like a queen and they do their very best to keep her protected, loved, and happy. Mikayla is a tough as nails woman. She loves her mates and friends and home fiercely. I liked these main characters a WHOLE LOT. They are definitely made for each other.

Suzette did an amazing job with Fated For Mikayla. From cover, to title, to the story itself, it had me on the edge of my seat, squirming, panting, and sighing the whole way through. Not to mention at times biting my nails while I wondered what would happen next. I ate this story up in a matter of days because it was so good. I gave this an AMAZING FOUR AND A HALF SHOOTING STARS! It got exactly what it deserved and I am so glad this book turned out better, and sexier then I could of imagined.
