REVIEW - Owned By The Mountain Man (Montana Mountain Men #2) by Gemma Weir

 The Book

Release Date: 22 April 2021

Goodreads Link

Huge, muscled and sexy in plaid, Huck Barnett is one of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen. Every woman in Rockhead Peak wants a taste of the mountain man. Including me.

Except, after a drunken girls’ night out, instead of waking up with him in my bed, I wake up with a killer hangover and an inbox full of his texts telling me how reckless and dangerous my antics are. 

Now my dad and brother want to find me a husband, and my ex-boyfriend has decided he wants the job.

But I’m not looking for marriage, I’d rather have a few incredible nights with the annoying mountain hottie. Only it turns out he’s not looking for a hook-up, he wants to own me.

My Review  5 STAR

This is the second book in the series and can certainly be read as a stand alone, it is also the second book I have read by this author and I shall certainly be reading more of her books.

Huck is a brother of Finn from book one and Cora is best friends with Finn's fianceé, however after waking up after a night that is hazy, her whole world changes when Huck takes it upon himself to look after her when even her family are not.

Huck finds himself however like his brother and he comes to the conclusion very quickly that Cora is the woman for him and all but refuses to wear a condom, then tampers with her tablets in order to get her pregnant and bound to him in every way.

I loved the alpha male in Huck and his brothers and cannot wait to read Grangers story to see how things pan out for yet another brother.

My comfort zone owns me.
It consumes me.
It's marked me.

Ridiculous demands that only I understand. I can’t step outside. And when I do, there are rules for every step, every breath, every second. I’ve never kissed a boy. I’ve never had the chance. I live in the dark corners of my mind with only the men from the books I read to keep me company.

Until Finn.

A friend of a friend. He's a tattoo artist, and he's a gorgeous human being. We make an agreement. He’s the teacher. I’m the student. It’s pretend for him. But for me—one touch and I'm his. 

My Review  5 STARS

**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Having read Amanda and Nicks story in Inked I was looking forward to reading Finn and Lou's story and I was not disappointed.

Finn showed real patience in dealing with Lou with all her insecurities, but was also not afraid to push her a little or to give her a bit of a challenge.

We see a little more of Amanda and Nick in a different way too and we get to meet Patrick a little more.  I cannot wait until his story.

I enjoyed this trip to kill devil hills and hope that we get some more stories in this place.

REVIEW - A Lair So Primal (The Last Dragorai #3) by Zoey Ellis

 

The Book

Release Date: 20 September 2021

Goodreads Link

From a dark, magic-ravaged world comes an enthralling new fantasy romance series. Five brothers, last of an ancient Alpha bloodline, each bound by fire and blood to their majestic dragons.

She trespassed on his land. Now she is his to keep.

While traveling to a dragon lord’s lair, Elora crosses forbidden land belonging to the lord’s brother, a viciously territorial alpha named Zendyor.

Known for his legendary temper, Zendyor and his bonded dragon are feared across the realm… and now, because of one mistake, she must be turned over to him.

Though she has suffered tragedies through a long-waged war that would make most crumble, Elora is the ultimate optimist and looks to the future with hope.

But nothing prepares her for the seductiveness of his fury.

Terrified, she tries to avoid him and shine a light against the darkness that permeates his lair, but the alpha will not allow it.

His dark attentions turn into a carnal obsession.

Soon she is caught in his storm, unable to tell the difference between his never-ending fury and his primal hunger for her.

When a sudden opportunity arises to escape him, Elora discovers secrets about herself that crush her eternal optimism.

But Zenyor will not allow her to evade his claim. As his rage reaches heights that threaten the realm, he wants everything she is.

He may be the final battle she cannot survive.

A LAIR SO PRIMAL is the third book in The Last Dragorai, an adult fantasy romance series. This series can be read as standalones but will be better enjoyed if read in order. Includes romance of a dark nature and a HEA.

My Review  5 STARS

**My thanks to the author and Hidden Gems for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is the third instalment of the series and we finally get Elora and Zendyor's story.

Elora on her way to the meeting point to get to Nyro's lair, went across Zendyors range, but was not noticed before she crossed through, this has annoyed Zendyor, but he does not know who the person was, just that they crossed through and went to Nyro's side.

Elora is a bubbly person and always wants to help and make people happy, but when she gets to Zendyors lair, everything is so different to what she is used to and the staff ignoring her is really hard for her.

Both have their predujuces that stop them seeing what is happening between them, but of course it is the alpha male who realises first and has to let the omega know.  

We get more action, fighting, strength of character and of course sex and we get to see a little more of Oshali and I'mya along with more of the other dragorai alpha's.

I can already see that Sethorn and Uraya will be mate, but I am certainly waiting to see who will be mates with Khyros and how he gets his dragon back.

Really looking forward to the next book coming out.

REVIEW - A Lair So Loyal (The Last Dragorai, #2) by Zoey Ellis

 The Book

Release Date: 14 June 2021

Goodreads Link

From a dark, magic-ravaged world comes an enthralling new fantasy romance series. Five brothers, last of an ancient Alpha bloodline, each bound by fire and blood to their majestic dragons.

She was saved by a dragon lord. And now he thinks he owns her.

Rescued as a baby by Tyomar, a powerful alpha bonded to a fierce dragon, Oshali was raised in a secluded sanctum. Historic tales of adventure and epic love captivate her, and she’s convinced there is a breathtaking world beyond the sanctum’s walls.

Twenty-five years later, she is now the liaison between the sanctum and Tyomar’s notorious clan… and his visits are equally rousing and nerve-racking.

The rules of the sanctum forbid him from seeing her face, but she is in awe of his intense good-looks and charm, even though she knows he still sees her as a child.

When Oshali accepts an assignment to travel across dangerous war-torn lands without her veil, Tyomar is furious. His overbearing protection reveals a fierce, dark possession.

Insatiable fire ignites between them.

And the passionate tension erupts into something deliciously carnal.

Yet Oshali knows Tyomar is a threat to her heart and her freedom. He refuses to leave her side, and she refuses to tolerate his controlling interference.

When a shocking revelation about her heritage exposes a deception, Oshali must choose where her loyalties lie, knowing Tyomar won’t easily relinquish what he has decided is his.

A LAIR SO LOYAL is the second book in The Last Dragorai, a steamy fantasy romance series. This series can be read as standalones but will be better enjoyed if read in order. Includes a HEA.

My Review   5 STARS

Oshali starts the book close to her twenty fifth birthday and needing to make a big decision.  Will she stay with the sanctum that has raised her from a baby or will she leave and enter the world, not able to come back home.

At the sanctum, she is the dragorai liaison, and each visit is as arousing as it is frustrating.  When the sanctum give her the option to go on a mission before she chooses she accepts, but is both floored and annoyed when the dragorai alpha Tyomar decides that he is going with her. 

Tyomar has always enjoyed his visits with the child that he took to the sanctum on his range, but the last few years he has been more and more attracted to Oshali, even though he cannot see her face, only her eyes.

Tyomar becomes more possessive of Oshali when they trek, leaving the dragon back in his range, especially as now he can finally see her face.

Oshali during er quest however finds out who she truly is which rocks her, she also falls fully for Tyomar, but is confused when she finds out that she is his mate.

Again we see the other dragon lords come together to plan and are there to support their brethren and are equally excited to learn that a second brother has found his mate.

We also get more sex, more misunderstandings, support, a little action and an omega in heat in which her alpha lord cannot help but satisfy.

Cannot wait to tuck into book three.

REVIEW - A Lair So Sinful (The Last Dragorai #1) by Zoey Ellis

 The Book

Release Date: 26 March 2021

Goodreads Link

From a dark, magic-ravaged world comes an enthralling new fantasy romance series. Five brothers, last of an ancient Alpha bloodline, each bound by fire and blood to their majestic dragons.

Captive in a dragon lord’s lair. No memory. Stripped bare.

I’mya awakens to find herself the property of Nyro—a rare and powerful Alpha bonded to a monstrous dragon. Like the other women in the lair, her only purpose is to satiate his every fantasy, but the beautiful omega is hiding a dark secret—even from herself.

From the first explosive encounter with Nyro, her incredible power is unleashed.

His carnal desires feed the fire of her magic.

Nyro’s captivation with her turns to possession, and I’mya becomes more than a plaything for him.

But as shards of her memories puzzle back together, her mind finally unveils the compelling truth.

A purpose much more sinister than pleasure.

Passion. Obsession. Betrayal.

I’mya must fulfill her quest, regardless of the cost. Nyro has conquered her body, but if he discovers the truth behind her presence in his lair… it is her life he will take.

A LAIR SO SINFUL is the first book in an adult fantasy romance standalone series. This story includes romance of a dark nature and a HEA.

My Review  5 STARS

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was completely captivated by the world created and the characters in the story.

I'mya wakes up not knowing where she is or who she is.  The only thing she knows is that magic is bad.  She is in the lair of a dragon called Nyro and she is there to join his harem and she is called a kon'ayas.  A person who is there only to sate the dragons sexual desires.

I'mya, however is unlike the others however and stands up for herself and this excites Nyro when he first meets her, she is something new while she gets him doing things he has never done for others before.

In I'm Nyro finds something that his clan thought could never happen.  Even though the dragon females have been hunted to death, the clan thought they were the last and would die out.  Now, Nyro has found his mate, the person that completes him, along with the chance to have children.

We get lots of sex, betrayal, love and devotion and action.  Both characters grow and you can see the connection between them develop with the story.  

We get to see glimpses of the rest of the clan members when they meet and help each other when trouble arises along with what each brings to the table of their family.

I cannot wait to read the next book.
