ARC Review - Pretend You Want Me (Wilde Ways #13) by Cynthia Eden!


BLURB:

She fixes problems.

There is no problem that Aspen Gray can’t handle. No case that is too hard. No challenge too great. She’s a rising star criminal defense attorney, and she intends to have the world at her feet…until a ghost from her past comes back to wreck her carefully designed plans. A ghost who should have been in the ground. And when a dead man comes stalking you, what’s a woman to do?

Let things get Wilde.

As soon as she sets foot in the elite protection and security firm known as Wilde, Aspen knows that she must tread carefully. Her life is on the line, and everything that she has worked so hard to achieve can be destroyed…unless one very talented and dangerous Wilde agent can help her out. She needs a man with exceedingly deadly skills—and she needs him now.

He can practically see the secrets dripping from her…

It should have been a standard undercover operation. Gideon Ranier knew the drill. He was supposed to play the role of his new client’s boyfriend so that he could slip into her world, keep her safe, and unmask the jerk screwing around with her. Standard work. No big deal. Former Delta Force, he could do that type of job in his sleep. Except…he doesn’t count on actually falling for his client. But he does. Hard, fast, and deep, and soon…there is nothing that he won’t do for her.

It’s personal.

Lines are crossed. Desire grows too strong. Their need won’t be denied. But the attacks on Aspen are mounting. As an obsessed killer plays a deadly game, Gideon will have no choice but to fight harder and dirtier than he’s ever fought in his life in order to protect Aspen from a stalker hellbent on vengeance.

Author’s Note: He’s dangerous. She’s devious. They shouldn’t want each other so badly, but they do. Close proximity, a deadly threat…adrenaline is pumping and the desire between Aspen and Gideon will not be controlled. He’ll walk through hell to keep her safe…and, yes, he’s pretty much gonna have to do just that. Sexy times, dangerous deeds, and a happy ending are guaranteed in this stand-alone read. Be on the lookout for secrets, because there sure are plenty of those coming your way!

MY REVIEW:

A smart, sexy, thrilling Wilde Ways ride with some epic twists! Pretend You Want Me is a MUST READ! 

It is brimming with non-stop action, white hot romance and perfect suspense that will keep any Cynthia Eden fan happy and on edge. Aspen and Gideon have some instant sparks that made my romantic heart pitter patter while the heart thumping action had me turning page after page, not wanting to put it down. Eager to find out what happens next. I loved how we got to see some other characters make an appearance too. This story is a fantastic addition to The Wilde Ways series!

ARC Review - It's A Wonderful Werewolf by Cynthia Eden!


BLURB:

Get festive with a wolfishly fun holiday romance from New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Eden...

Oliver Abbott never intended to be a werewolf. Howling at the moon, sprouting fur, shifting into a beast...not exactly the life plan that the former Navy SEAL had anticipated. But an attack on a snow-filled night changes everything. Suddenly, Oliver has a new reality, and he has to leave the only woman he's ever loved, Gia Donato, in order to protect her from his wolfish side. Yeah, being a werewolf bites. Big time. Especially when you have the biggest, sharpest teeth in town.

But Christmas is a magical time...

On Christmas Eve, an angelical "intern" offers to grant Oliver one wish. Oliver can have anything he wants. His wish? He wishes that he'd never become a werewolf. Only that wish has unexpected consequences...Gia doesn't remember him, danger is stalking her, and, ho-ho-horror of horrors, Oliver is now a mild-mannered tax attorney. Nope, not happening. Especially the part where Gia is in danger. Oliver wants a do-over on the wish. STAT.

He will embrace his inner beast.

Oliver is an alpha werewolf for a reason. He wants his old, howl-at-the-moon life back, and he's going to take it—fangs, claws, fur, and everything else. With the help of his angel intern, Oliver's beast returns, and the hunt is on. Oliver is ready to fight for his second chance with Gia, and he will be at her side when danger comes to her door. Because there is no way that he will stand aside and let anyone hurt her. No way, no day. First, though, he has to convince the gorgeous Gia that she should give their love a second chance...

But it's Christmas, right? And  anything  can happen during the holiday season...even a miracle for a werewolf.

Author's note: Even werewolves can use a little Christmas magic. Deck the halls with some furry fun, dangerous dilemmas, and an uber hot hero who is prepared to grovel with hot chocolate for the woman who owns his heart. Someone is stalking her? Danger is at her door? Oliver will get his beast on in an instant in order to protect Gia. IT'S A WONDERUL WEREWOLF is a fun and festive novella (approximately 23,000 words) with an absolutely guaranteed happy ending.
 

 REVIEW:

It's A Wonderful Werewolf was a joyously sexy, furry, oh so perfect holiday novella that put the biggest smile on my face and a lot of Christmas joy in my heart! 

I do love Cynthia Eden's PNRs. And when she surprised us with this super sexy and brand-new Christmas novella I was beyond ecstatic, and I couldn't wait to dive into it. This story was fast paced and whole a lot of fun with lots of passion and sweet, sigh-worthy romance that I admit, made me drool and feel a little envious over. And the fact that this was a Holiday Paranormal romance containing one hot werewolf and the woman that he can never forget made this extra special! I fell hard for this story, and I hope we get many more sexy PNRs in the future. 

It's A Wonderful Werewolf gets a SUPER HOT AND ENTERTAINING FIVE HOWLING STARS!!

EXCERPT

“Do you know my name?”
Every muscle in my body goes rigid. “Excuse me?”
Her chest heaves, and the movement clearly causes her pain, but her lips flatten stubbornly. “What is my name?” Those blue eyes are troubled now, fear edging in, while distress practically oozes from her voice.
“You don’t…know your name?” I ask slowly, carefully gauging her reaction.
“No.” She swallows audibly, her eyes filling with tears. “I don’t remember anything.”
Fuck.
I scoot my rolling stool closer and take a seat beside her. Peering at her, I try to decipher whether she’s being completely honest.
I’ve learned to be suspicious over the years, especially with living in part of the denser, remote jungle areas bordering the coast.
“Well, what I can tell you is”—I lace my fingers casually—“you’re not pregnant, you have an IUD for birth control, and the panel I ran on you says you’re negative for any sexually transmitted diseases.
“You’re also blood type O, and your X-rays showed some broken bones—both previously incurred and current.
“Two of your ribs on your right side showed current hairline fractures, likely sustained during your…accident.”
I pause for even a flicker of acknowledgment but get nothing. Nothing, that is, except witness her expression bloom with stark terror.
“I removed two bullets from your shoulder and two more from your side near your hip. You also suffered a considerable stab wound.
“The X-rays indicated you most recently broke your index finger on your left hand. It’s since healed.”
She stares down at her hand, now trembling slightly, as if it’s grown a head of its own. I don’t bother informing her of the other bones in her body that indicated a previous break or fracture.
Broken left wrist.
Fracture near the base of her right elbow.
Fractures of most of the small bones in her right foot.
Broken nose.
Fractured jaw.
Straightening her fingers, she wiggles them before her eyes cut to mine. A thread of panic lines her tone. “I should remember something like that, shouldn’t I?”
I scan her features again for evidence of deceit but come up empty.
I’m dealing with a woman who has a severe case of amnesia.
Sonofabitch.

ARC Review - Soar High (Sons Of The Survivalist #4) by Cherise Sinclair!



BLURB:

She survived.

Kit survived her abusive husband. Survived imprisonment and beatings from the Patriot Zealots. Now free and healing, she can make a new life for herself and her son…except he has attached himself to a terrifying, scarred, tattooed ex-mercenary.

Women take one look at him and flee.

An ugly childhood and combat left Hawk with scars, a rasping voice, and an aversion to talking. So, why in hell does the four-year-old stick to him like glue?

The kid’s pretty mother is smarter. There’s fear in her eyes when she looks at Hawk. That hurts. The sweet woman is everything he’s ever wanted—loving, affectionate, and patient. But after what she’s been through, she sure won’t want to be around men—especially the one who killed her husband.

He’d saved her.

Kit agrees with her son. Being near Hawk is the safest place on earth. Beneath the menacing appearance, he’s protective…and kind. The better she gets to know him, the more she sees him as a man—a very sexy man. But, considering what had happened to her, she knows—

No man would want her now. 


MY REVIEW:

Soar High, the fourth and final book of the Sons of The Survivalist by Cherise Sinclair, is by far the most touching, sexy, and most heart melting of the series! Hawk and Kit touched my heart in a way that I never expected and I ADORE them!

Hawk and Kit and little Aric's story is extra special in my opinion. This story was emotional and amazing. I cried, I giggled, I sighed and my heart completely melted and then some danger and thrills were added to the mix that kept me on the edge and I loved it! There was really a perfect combo of heart, heat, and suspense. I want to read each of these brothers stories again and again because I treasure ALL the feels they give me! 

Soar High gets a TOUCHING FIVE SEXY AND SWEET STARS!!

ARC Review - Zai (Blades of Arris Book 2) by Starla Night!

 Zai (Blades of Arris Book 2)


BLURB:

I will destroy all threats to the empire with unrelenting force. Even if that threat comes in the form of a weak, fragile lesser with night-black hair and beguiling eyes.

The blades. Elite forces of the empire, nightmare to all servant-world residents just trying to scrape by. Of course I have to flee when my medical ship comes under attack.

But my escape pod is captured by their ruthless leader.

His face is hidden in an assassin’s cowl. Metal sai weapons are fused to his wristbones. He can fly between spaceships like an owl and execute enemies through a hull.

Yet according to him, I’m the dangerous one.

His people’s lust metal has gotten in my blood. They’ll tear each other apart trying to get to me. And then? Because they can’t understand their feelings, they’ll tear me apart, too.

So he’s taking me to the Arsenal, a massive station teeming with his blades, where I’m one papercut away from unleashing hyperviolent zombie hordes.

Well, okay.

I’m lucky he’s the one who captured me. He senses the lust metal inside me, he understands the desires burning us both with unrelenting need, and he’s completely unaffected.

Or, well, mostly...

*** Contains unique alien shifters, fierce passion, and loyal warriors who find their fated mates in the stars. Each full-length book is a complete romance with an epic happily-ever-after. Claim your conqueror today!


 MY REVIEW:

Another explosively sexy and thrilling book in Starla Night's EXCITING new Blads Of Arris series that really, REALLY make me wish these sexy alien assassins' were real!

I devoured this second book way to quickly and then I immediately had the urge to read BOTH books again. Zai is such a powerful hero. One that made my knees weak and my heart race. The way he was with Esme was pretty freaking epic too. You can definitely sense his draw to beautiful Esme while he tries not to succumb to his desires. But Esme has a pull that is irresistible. I loved her as a whole too. She was compassionate and beautiful and fit Zai in a way that is definitely good for him. She makes him feel in a way he has never once felt and it really calls to the romantic in me. This book was amazing to read and I am already pumped for the next one! 

Zai gets a SEXY AND ACTION PACKED FIVE TENSION FILLED STARS!!

NetGalley eARC Review - Immortal's Honor (Dark Protectors #14) by Rebecca Zanetti!

 Immortal's Honor (Dark Protectors, #14)


BLURB:

From award-winning author Rebecca Zanetti comes the newest wildly thrilling Dark Protectors novel with an immortal hero to die for.

First comes danger . . .

When Vampire-Demon Sam Kyllwood discovers he’s the keeper of some mysterious circle, he laughs it off. When he finds out that his younger brother is supposed to fight to the death in said circle, he snaps right to furious. And that’s before he starts uncontrollably making things explode —it turns out it’s never too late to develop deadly new immortal abilities. But even those explosions are nothing compared to what happens when he tries to handle a very suspicious, brilliant and beyond sexy human female whose piercing eyes ignite a heat that rages deliciously outside even his unbreakable control…

Then comes desire . . .

Honor McDovall is one of the best interrogators Homeland Security has ever had. But no matter how well she appears to fit in, her mystical gifts are slowly driving her mad. She doesn't understand them, she doesn't want them, but for now, she'll use them to detect and defeat danger until she completely loses her mind. Unfortunately, her job brings her face to face with the deadliest man she's ever met—and she senses Sam is even more gifted than she is. Yet once they kiss, she realizes he's also more dangerous than the enemies suddenly coming from every direction. Good thing they both like to play with fire . . .


MY REVIEW:

Immortal's Honor is a non-stop, action packed, sizzling hot PNR that threw my heart and libido into overdrive! 

Sam's one unbelievably sexy alpha that made me burn in the BEST of ways while Honor is a force to be reckoned with and has some serious enhancements that I found both awe inspiring and totally amazing. These two make a powerful couple that I think all Dark Protector lovers will agree with. They have a chemistry that is OFF THE CHARTS and their power together sure caused some major sparks that turned into an incredible inferno. I LOVED that this book wasn't in the least bit dull. There is always something going on that keeps us readers on our toes. From the amazing action, to the heart stopping danger and the very steamy romance, this book was EXHILARATING! And after getting a sneak peek at Garrett's story, I am officially ECSTATIC and ready FOR MORE! 

Immortal's Honor gets a PHENOMENAL FIVE EXPLOSIVE STARS!!

ARC Review - Never Cry Werewolf by Cynthia Eden!

 Never Cry Werewolf


BLURB:

USA Today and New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Eden has a classic paranormal romance for readers in the mood to walk on the wild side.

The big, bad wolf has BITE.

No one messes with Lucas Simone. He’s the alpha of the LA wolf pack. Bigger, badder, and one hell of a lot more dangerous than the other wolf shifters, Lucas is the monster in the dark. But when Lucas finds himself framed for murder, an unlikely savior appears at his jail cell.

She’ll give him an alibi. He’ll give her pack protection.

Sarah King is a desperate woman, and a desperate woman will do super desperate things—like pretend to be involved with super-hot and mega-scary Lucas. Sarah is struggling to hide her supernatural abilities from Lucas, but as her feelings grow for the sexy shifter, the harder it is for Sarah to keep her powers under wraps…and to keep her hands off Lucas.

Maybe she can charm him into falling for her…

Little secret…Sarah has been a fan of Lucas’s for years, and when she discovers that an attack against him is imminent, she decides to help her hero. Another wolf alpha wants to take control of everything that Lucas possesses, and he is intent on burning down Lucas’s world.

But Lucas has never been afraid of a little fire.

The attraction he feels for her is primal. Consuming. The wolf within him knows that he has found his mate, and Lucas will do anything to keep her at his side. Doesn’t matter who he must fight, Lucas is ready for the battle. Sarah made a bargain with him, and now, she’ll belong to Lucas…forever.

Author’s Note: You can’t keep a wolf shifter from his mate, so don’t even try. Prepare for a fierce alpha wolf and a heroine with a past cloaked in secrecy. They will fall fast and hard for each other, and when danger comes…things will just get hotter.

NEVER CRY WEREWOLF was originally released as NEVER CRY WOLF back in June of 2011. The book has been updated and given a new cover. It’s a classic read for fans of paranormal romance.


MY REVIEW:

This is my first time reading Never Cry Werewolf and I have to say this is definitely on my top 10 favorite books list from Cynthia Eden!

 Never Cry Werewolf was LOADED TO THE MAX with heart pounding action, white hot romance, a sizzling plot and a storyline that had me thinking and concentrating on nothing but this amazing read. I can't believe I haven't read this before. It was so sexy and dangerous and I just couldn't stop reading! 

Lucas is a definite bad ass with some serious yummy and dangerous vibes that had my knees trembling while Sarah is a heroine that has her own secrets that are impressive and I thought made her a perfect match for Lucas. These two had the kind of chemistry that blew up the pages and had my heart fluttering and begging for more. The danger was jaw dropping and I had to stop myself multiple times from chewing my fingernails with nervousness as I was going along. It definitely gave me some good chills and left a mark on me in the very a good way. This book is A MUST READ RIGHT NOW kind of book!

Never Cry Werewolf gets a SIZZLING AND DANGER FILLED FIVE ADRENALINE INDUCING STARS!
