Netgalley ARC Review - Wolf Bite (Woves of Willow Bend 1) by Heather Long

BLURB:

After a dominance challenge left his parents dead, Mason left Willow Bend and his pack behind, choosing instead to live life on his own terms…a Lone Wolf. A wanderer, he keeps his life simple and carefree—until an unexpected encounter brings him face to face with his tragic past and the woman he’s always adored. Determined to get her out of his blood, he teases her into an easy one-night stand…but one taste will never be enough.

Alexis Huston lived on the fringe of pack life, adopted as a young girl, she’s never been strong enough, fast enough, or pretty enough—except to Mason, but then he left her. Allowed her freedom as an adult with the promise to keep the pack’s secrets, she’s struggled to fit into the ‘human’ world and then a chance meeting turns her hard-won life upside down. 

Now she has to decide whether to tell the only wolf she’s ever loved that she’s pregnant or do what she has to do to protect him…keep it secret and run.

MY REVIEW:

Heather Long's Wolves of Willow Bend is one of the most stunning and great romances I have ever read. This series is one of my favorites in paranormal romance. But the one story that I always wanted to read about was Mason's. I have read some of the books after but never read his before. And after finally being able to have his story and read it, I can say that his story is my #1! 

Mason is a fabulous hero. I loved his dominance, his incredible patience, his protective nature, and his sexiness. Alexis I thought was his perfect match. She is just as bull-headed, has an incredible inner strength and can definitely defend herself against danger. Their chemistry was explosive and the sex HOT HOT HOT! I loved finally reading how Mason became to be the alpha of Willow Bend. It was truly beautiful and was just such a great romance.

Heather Long wove a story full of passion, angst, sexy banter, and delicious characters. The plot is written to perfection and I couldn't help but to give this story THE FULL FIVE SHOOTING STAR TREATMENT!! Everything fits the story and its seriously well written with the kind of characters and storyline that any person who enjoys paranormal romance will envy. I consider this to be one of the BEST books of the year!

Netgalley ARC Review - Viking Warrior Rising by Asa Maria Bradley

BLURB:

Immortal Vikings are among us.

Leif Skarsganger and his elite band of immortal warriors have been charged to protect humanity from the evil Norse god Loki.

Under attack from Loki’s minions, Leif is shocked to  eencounter a dark-haired beauty who fights like a warrior herself. Wounded and feverish, the Viking kisses her, inadvertently triggering an ancient Norse bond. But when Naya Brisbane breaks away and disappears before the bond is completed, Leif’s warrior spirit goes berserk. If Leif doesn’t find her fast, he’s going to lose himself to permanent battle fury.

But Naya doesn’t want to be found...and he’ll do anything to find her. Because they’re both running out of time.

MY REVIEW:

Sexy Immortal Vikings, an evil god, and a woman who is a true fighter? GIMME BOOK!  That is how I felt as I read the blurb and seen this striking cover for Asa Maria Bradley's Viking Warrior Rising. I was instantly intrigued and I knew I was going to like it. I not only liked it, but actually want MORE in this new series! I haven't read something so spell-binding and sexy since Rebecca Zanetti's new Realm Enforcers book, Wicked Ride! I absolutely LOVED the characters, the action, the chase, and the delicious sex. 

The whole-viking -berserker-immortal thing really freaking ROCKED! I am a pretty big fan of anything featuring myths and Gods and when we get several of these things including some fabulous romance, I fell in love. I liked both Naya and Leif and all the secondary characters, including the nasty Loki. I am really looking forward to the next book.

This was written to perfection! Its packed full of hot sex, wicked chemistry, plenty of kick ass vikings and one kick ass woman who can totally take care of herself but who ends up falling hard for her immortal viking. I gave this book a WOWING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Its my new favorite read!

Netgalley eARC Review - The Bite of Winter by Lauren Smith

BLURB:

She is theirs to claim. They are hers to save.

Zoey Blake is about as far down on her luck as she can get. A car crash took her parents, leaving her destitute and on the street. When she’s attacked by another homeless person, her lifeblood drains away as her fading vision is filled with the face of a handsome stranger.

Ian Kennedy, a century old Irish vampire, never could resist rescuing a stray. As a few drops of his blood heals Zoey’s wounds, he realizes she’s a sweet, tempting, flesh-and-blood woman. But there’s one problem. Connor, who made Ian promise decades ago: no more mortal lovers.

After another vampire murdered his soulmate, Connor O’Shea swore never to let amortal woman pay the price for loving him. Until he feels Zoey’s skin and tastes her lips.She makes him want to break that vow.

Zoey finds herself caught in their web of seduction. But as Christmas draws near andher grief deepens, happiness seems far out of reach. And Ian and Connor join forces to prove their love is sacred, special…and forever.

Warning: This book contains two scorching-hot Irish vampires, one lady with plenty of pluck but zero luck, naughty lingerie, and enough Christmas cheer to redeem even the darkest creatures.

MY REVIEW:

Two hot Irish vampires falling in love with a woman that desperately needs to feel cherished and safe who happens to be gorgeous and smart? A DEFINITE MUST READ FOR ME! Even though I liked this book the one thing that bothered me most was when the moment she wakes and starts to examine her wounds as well as starts to remember how she was rescued, Ian starts to make out with her and instead of feeling a little afraid, she was overly excited. I have a hard time picturing a woman who was attacked and almost died, just falling in bed with her rescuer right away. For me it was a little far fetched. But the menage style really had me forgiving the book and we had some small trials to work through so that to me, evened things out a bit.

All three characters were pretty amazing. Zoey is young and homeless and the only possession other then the clothes on her back, was the portfolio of all the art work she has done. She is a beautiful, passionate, and brave young woman who was lucky enough to find two strong sexy Irish vampires to call her own for not just the Christmas holiday but for all eternity. Ian and Connor are perfect heroes in my eyes. I loved their slight broodiness, their strong sex appeal and their brogues will leave you dropping your panties post haste!

This book was written really well and for the most part, I was satisfied with it. I gave this book a FOUR SHOOTING STARS! Even though I was a bit leery about the whole jumping into bed almost immediately with her heroes thing, this book had so much more to even things out. From the trials the three of them had to go through, to the sensual ride these three partake in was just beautiful and so very compelling. 

ARC Review - Endless Possibilities (Part 2) Call of the Heart by Silke Ming

BLURB:

[Ménage and More: Erotic Ménage a Trois Romance, M/M/F, with M/M, bondage, food play, sex toys, HEA]

When Skye and Rory relocate to Anchorage to join Charlie Higgins, life starts anew for the three lovers. Charlie’s career as an architect soars, and with Margie Pemberton’s help, Rory becomes a success in the art world. Margie is the wealthy wife of Charlie’s boss, but she shows an unusual amount of interest in Rory which does not sit well with Skye and Charlie. They think she is a cougar whose sole interest is getting Rory into her bed.

Charlie sets out to investigate Margie and in a conversation with his father back in Cherry Hill, what Charlie learns shocks him. He confronts Margie with what he has learned, and finds out that her reasons for helping Rory are quite the opposite from what he believes. Rory is becoming reckless in the relationship, bringing friction in the household, but a few words from Charlie sets him back on the right path.

MY REVIEW:

 Call of the Heart happens to be Part 2 of Silke Ming's Endless Possibilities story. The heat level in Part 2 is even more sensual and erotic and HOT than Part 1. The story continues with the three lovers as they were relocated to Anchorage. At first things are great between the lovers, but soon things are set into motion that brings out the bad and as we read along, we wonder if Skye, Rory, and Charlie can keep their relationship intact and strong.

The conflict that goes down in Part 2 keeps us readers on our toes. We wonder at times if things are going to work out and yet we are amazed at the power behind their love for one another. The sex and chemistry is even more consuming and erotic than in the first book. I loved how intense some of the scenes were. I found myself needing breaks in between to cool off and to slow my heart. Its the BEST feeling! I actually think Call of the Heart maybe my favorite. The tension is thick, the story compelling, and is just written well.

Endless Possibilities Call of the Heart is SO GOOD, I felt it deserved the FULL FIVE SHOOTING STARS! I enjoyed this story since Part 1 and am even more happy and content with Part 2. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Netgalley ARC Review - Wrong Number Right Guy by Elle Casey

BLURB:

When a mysterious text message summons May Wexler to a biker bar in downtown New Orleans, she knows something is very wrong. Her sister has sent out an SOS, but when May gets there, she’s nowhere to be found and May is the one in trouble—she’s wearing pink espadrilles, she’s got a Chihuahua in her purse, and she’s in the middle of a shootout.

After tall, muscular Ozzie comes to her rescue, May has no choice but to follow him to safety. At the headquarters of his private security firm, the Bourbon Street Boys, she finds a refuge for the night—and the offer of a job. But it’s not long before a gun-toting stalker isn’t the only complication in May’s life: the more time she spends with Ozzie, the less she can deny that they’ve got some serious chemistry. A wrong number got her into this mess…Will it also get her the right guy? 

MY REVIEW:

Recently, I read some reviews about this book, and I was kind of stunned to see a number of them weren't happy with this book. Now this is my first book I have read by Elle Casey and with her being a "new to me" author, and I was worried that it wouldn't be enjoyable. Yet it was not only enjoyable but down right fun! I laughed at May's dog, and auto-correct messages from her sister. I giggled at what May first thought of Ozzie's beard and I just thoroughly liked the whole story. The characters are amazingly entertaining and the tension between Ozzie and May is strong and sexy. 

It has been a while since I found a book that had me laughing and sighing with happiness from beginning to end. This story to me, was written really well and I think will keep readers on their toes and giggling from beginning to end. 

I had to give this book a SHINNING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! I truly loved it and think it deserves the five stars. Its uproariously fun and super sexy at the same time. Readers will LOVE the combination of humor and romance.   

Netgalley ARC Review - Claimed By The Warrior by Joss Wood

BLURB:

Bad boy Jed Hamilton is ex-special Forces and a current undercover recovery agent who’s mentally and physically tough, a lone wolf and, above all, violently allergic to commitment, permanence, and anything wedding related.

So when he learns, in the very sexy McKenna Dixon’s bridal salon, that his younger sister is getting married and wants him to be her “man of honor”, Jed wishes he was anywhere but in Cape Town. Especially now that he’ll be spending more time around the one woman who makes him consider perilous phrases like “what if” and “maybe”…

McKenna Dixon loves bad boys, but her past experience with the species has led to nothing but pain and heartbreak. Jed Hamilton is exactly the type of man she should avoid, but when a nasty incident threatens her and her daughter, Jed immediately appoints himself as their protector, even though it’s not a part of his job description.

McKenna is determined not to allow another bad boy to flip her life inside out, and Jed is determined to retain his bachelor status and to keep travelling and working. But, as they both discover, love does its best work when they are busy making other plans… 

MY REVIEW:

Claimed by the Warrior by Joss Wood is scrumptious, fun, sexy as can be, and just a real good read. I found myself giggling in some places and sighing with pleasure in other. The characters are so dang interesting and the storyline is written to perfection. The cover alone draws the eye of the reader, especially when its a female reader. 

The moment Dixon meets sexy bad boy, Jed, her girlie bits wake up and take notice, and as she tries to control herself, the sparks fly even more and soon the passion is too much for these two to fight. The fact that author Wood puts a bit of humor in the story just makes it that much more enjoyable to me. When I can find myself laughing throughout the story, it definitely makes my day.

Claimed by the Warrior gets a SOLID FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Its a good time filled with steamy sex, witty comebacks, and sassy and loving characters. You definitely want to check this book out!
