Goodreads Link

Single Mom barely holding onto her sanity vs. Silver Fox convinced he’s found love. Let the games begin…

My boss looks at me like I’m a lollipop he can’t wait to lick. He can keep waiting. I haven’t got time to wash my hair, let alone take care of a man. Another man I should say. Being a single mom to a teenage boy on a crusade to save the world is a full-time job. Add my actual full-time job times two and I’ve forgotten the definition of free time.

But Max isn’t taking no for an answer. He says he’s waited long enough to find love. And he’s done waiting. Gulp. He claims he’s going to solve all problems and prove he’s the man for me. Trouble – party of one.

But maybe like Max always says Love will OUT.

We’ll see about that.

This single mom romantic comedy features a single mom trying to protect her crusader son from the consequences of his actions, a silver fox convinced it’s his turn for love, a daughter and her friends who aren’t above playing matchmaker, and a makeshift family of former Army buddies who think telling dirty jokes is a sign of love.

A Fox for Faith is book 4 of the Love will OUT series but can be read as a standalone.

My Review     5 STARS

This is the last book in the series that I shall be reading, purely because I am less interested in the Uncles getting their HEA than I am of the other members of the family.  Too many other books to read lol.

In this book Pops has finally found a woman who he wants after the terrible relationship he has with Hailey's mum.  He has been waiting for far too long and when he has decided that Faith is the woman he wants to give his heart too he goes all out.

Faith is hiding in Milwaukee with her teenage son Oliver protecting his after he helped a woman from being raped by gang members. She is not ready for the onslaught that is pops and his family and friends. He certainly finds ways to get under her skin.  The woman of the group including Pops daughter Hailey certainly help to bring her into the fold and give her friendship, other people to lean on, help and above all a feeling of family.

I really enjoyed this book, especially as the Faith it closer to my age and Pops closer to my husbands age.

REVIEW - A Soldier for Suzie (Love will OUT #3) by D.E. Haggerty

The Book

Release Date: 9 February 2021

Goodreads Link

I’m the klutzy, happy-go-lucky girl everyone loves.

Except, I’m not. I’m not anywhere close to being happy. Oh sure, I force a big smile on my face and act all goofy. But it’s just that. An act.

And then Grayson walks into my life. Suddenly, those smiles start to feel real. Only Grayson has demons of his own. He’s a soldier returning from war and he’s got the scars to prove it.

Maybe not all men are the scum of the earth. Grayson certainly isn’t. Maybe I can give him a chance. Maybe I can erase his scars.

And maybe, as my best girl always says, Love will OUT.

Assuming I don’t screw it all up first.

A Soldier for Suzie is book 3 of the Love will OUT series but can be read as a standalone.

This military romantic comedy features a heroine who is hiding a boatload of hurt, a hunky soldier she wants to save, a pair of friends who are excited it’s finally their turn to play matchmaker, and a makeshift family of former Army buddies who think telling dirty jokes is a sign of love.

My Review     5 STARS

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

Suzie who we know from previous books is klutzy, but plays up to it, making people think she is more klutz than she is.  Something she did who her ex left her to stop them from talking about Toby.  She is a self professed man-hater, but only for herself, she wants everyone else to be happy.  She herself pretends to be happy, but deep underneath, she is not.

Grayson is out of the military, but harbours feelings of guilt for a buddy of his that died when he too was out there.  Susie and him hit it off but their friendship slowly turns into more.

Grayson eventually overcomes his hurdle after Suzie interferes causing a temporary halt to their friendship, but Grayson talks to his past and decides that he has some work to do in order that he can make Suzie the woman of his dreams his for the keeping.

I love that Suzie gets her happy ending with Grayson and you can see that they will both get what they need with this relationship and the warm family and friends around them.

Release Date: 14 Jan 2021

She’s got a secret.

My entire life is a secret. No, scratch that. I have a secret. My life isn’t a secret. I have a new life with new friends. I even have a job for the first time ever. As a PI no less. And I don’t suck at it. Take that old life. 

So does he. 

When I run into Ryker – literally – my new life is looking better yet. Ryker makes my body feel things I’ve never felt before. Things I like a lot. Except, I’m not the only one with a secret. No, Ryker has a whopper of a secret. 

Does Ryker actually care for me or is it all a big fat lie?

No idea but like my boss always says Love will OUT. 

A Protector for Phoebe is book 2 of the romantic comedy series Love will OUT but can be read as a standalone. 

This romantic comedy features a former rich girl with a big fat secret, a sexy bounty hunter who makes her want to forget about her vow to give up men, two girlfriends who don’t understand the meaning of ‘mind your own business’, and a makeshift family of former Army buddies who think telling dirty jokes is a sign of love.

My Review    5 STARS

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

I remember reading the first book in this series and really liking it.  I am therefore kicking myself that it has taken me this long to take up this series again.

I this book we have Phoebe, who we were introduced to in the first book of the series.  She is the posh girl with the fancy clothes and willow ask body who oozes class.  In this book we get to find out what she is running from.

Ryker is a bounty hunter and he falls for Phoebe, even knowing what he does about her background.  Knowing that someone else is closing in on her, Ryker kidnaps her which sets off a whole series of events which leads to her having to come clean to her new 'adopted' friends and family.

Of course, every one pulls together and helps her escape her past and into a happy ever after with Ryker.

REVIEW - Vampire in the Jungle by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

The Book

Release Date: 8 September 2023

Goodreads Link

From New York Times bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes Vampire in the Jungle, a Paranormal Rom-Com. 

“Bring me that vampire! Or else!”

When a powerful goddess gives Damien one week to deliver the world’s last vampire, he only has one question: “Why is the vampire hiding in the jungle?” 

Damien isn’t sure, but he knows what’ll happen if he fails: the insane goddess will execute the only two women Damien’s ever cared for. (It’s complicated.) 

Also, there’s the small matter of his assistant, who believes her destiny is to become a vampire herself. (It’s very complicated.) 

Unfortunately, the vampire in question hates the modern world, has a severe attachment to his lair, and he makes it a point to kill anyone who gets too close. No mercy. 

Can Damien and his crew of supernatural oddballs convince this deadly vampire to come out of hiding before it’s too late?

My Review    5 STARS

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

This is the second book in the series and the author constantly delights us with her wonderful brand of humour and wicked writing style in this book.

Damien has recently got two woman back from the dead in his life.  The woman he loved who died with his child and the woman who recently died and he loves in a new way.

In this book we get two main stories all wrapped up in each other.  Damien and his task, but there is the Willa and Sky angle and which woman he is going to choose.  Then there is the Maxton and MF (Mountain Flower) angle and if they are going to get together and whether Vampire Maxton will turn MF as she wants.

We get to see a little of Roberto, Voltan, Belch and Brutus as well as a bit of Minky.

With the authors true brilliant style we get a web of people who have been brought together in some way by Cimil and they have formed a dysfunctional kind of family.

I'm looking forward to see how this series continues in the next book and seeing more of these characters.

Truth or Dare: Tell the One-Who-Got-Away that you're still madly in love with him OR spend the night trapped with him in a hunting lodge that's about to be swept downstream?

Ha! Trick Question. I get to do BOTH! Because when it rains, it pours.

First, I call Theo McGuire to tell him that I've always loved him and I always will--at least for the next few hours until Pippa Jane the Pig and I are swallowed by the floodwaters. Then, I open the second story window when Theo comes knocking in his kayak, in a likely doomed attempt to save us.

Soon, we're trapped in the cabin where we had our first time fifteen years ago and all I can think about is how much I wish I could turn back the clock. If I could, I'd never let this fiercely kind and sexy-as-hell man go.

Since this could be The End, we agree to make our last night a night to remember.

But what happens when morning dawns, we're both still breathing, and I can't bear to think of a life without my favorite McGuire?

My Review    5 STARS

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

This is a very quick novella that focuses on two people who have a history together and have never forgotten each other even if many years have gone past them when they next meet up.

REVIEW - The Traitor (Fire's Edge #5) by Abigail Owen

The Book

Release Date: 16 August 2021

Goodreads Link

Decades ago, rogue dragon shifter Rune Abaddon took a stand against the decaying, corrupt systems governing their people. He now uses his bad-ass reputation to protect the innocent as it all comes crashing down. But he’s pushed the limits one too many times. His hideout is destroyed, his few allies are scattered and hiding, and the Alliance has placed a dead-or-alive bounty on his head, making him the most wanted dragon in the western hemisphere. 

And then the most enticing woman he’s ever met barges into his mountain, demanding an audience.

Hadyn Reece’s future was ripped away long ago. The man fated to be her mate was murdered alongside her parents before Hadyn was old enough to be turned, leaving her to be raised and trained by her dead mate’s parents in the dragon shifter world. Now, the Alliance has come for the only family she has left. It’s a good thing she was raised by dragons, because the only one who can help her save them is a traitor she’d be smart to fear.

Especially when his dragon decides she’s theirs.

My Review    5 STARS

In the final book of this series we finally have Rune Abandon getting a happy ending after being the one saving mates from the mating council and knowing before most that things were wrong and needed changing.

Hadyn found out that she was a Dragon Mate when she was really young with a rogue dragon male, however he was killed when she was still young along with her parents, so her mates parents took her in and have raised her as a daughter ever since.  Therefore she knows much more about Dragons than most Dragon mates and takes things much better when she finally tracks Rune down when needing his help and they have to run.

Rune is amazed at how strong and resilient Hayden is and finds his protective side coming out strong than it ever has before with any other Dragon mate.  He ends up asking his old team for help in rescuing Haydens parents.

We see the previous members  and their mates, there is more death, support of team members and a happier ending to the war in the Americas with the Alliance and the Alaz team.

This series ties into the Inferno Rising series and both are intertwined and go along side with each other.  It was good to see small parts of the other series come into this one.

I have really enjoyed this series and will continue to read this authors books.

REVIEW - The Protector (Fire's Edge #4) by Abigail Owen

The Book

Release Date: 7 December 2020

Goodreads Link

The cousin of the High King, Lyndi Chandali has lived with the constant threat of being pawned off as a political prize. A rare, female-born dragon like Lyndi can’t truly mate—not in the way it counts. Which is why she's kept her distance from a certain sinfully delicious Beta. Instead, she's built a life for herself giving orphaned dragons in the Americas a home.

As Beta of his team of enforcers, Levi Rowtag is a fighter first, last, and always. His job is to protect—his team, the shifters in his territory, and the stubborn woman hell-bent on fighting with him at every turn. He knows from the moment they first meet what she’ll never accept—they are destined to be mated.

But with the kings at war, the enemy is now coming for Lyndi. Worse, he’s coming for her orphans, too. He’ll have no choice but to defy his king and go rogue if he has any hope of protecting them all...and finally claiming his mate.

My Review    5 STARS

**My thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing LLC, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

In the continuation of the series, although each book can be read as a stand alone book if you want, we get two characters who we have been introduced to from book one coming together as forces out of their control make them admit their feelings for each other.

Levi is the Beta of the team of enforcers and ever since he first met Lyndi 200 years ago when she arrived with her brother Drake, he has wanted her but always thought that she hated him.  He has always tried to protect her, even if it seemed like he was interfering or it seemed that he didn't trust her.

Lyndi has always wanted Levi, but she too thought that he hated her from the beginning and has always pushed him away, even if in her dreams she wants him.  She know however that if she even lets herself want him they will never be able to have children as natural female born dragons are sterile.  Something that pains her greatly, but she has her orphans and rogues who are her children.

Brand Asterot the Gold Clan King however calls all loyal Gold dragons home and this is a catalyst for our pair.  They have a week together before Levi has to leave.  But the Alaz leader puts a spanner in the works when he arrives and states that the Alliance have agreed that he can have Lyndi as a mate.

We see more of Deep, and other Enforcer members and their mates, we get to see another village of dragons which they help and an almighty fight that has them meeting a new friend and the loss of a member.

I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read Rune's story.

REVIEW - The Enforcer (Fire's Edge #3) by Abigail Owen

The Book

Release Date: 9 December 2019

Goodreads Link

Death comes for everyone. Even Drake Chandali. The aging process that twists all unmated dragon shifters’ bodies into something useless has taken hold of his body centuries early. A mate could have reversed the process, but now it’s too late. To protect his team of enforcers, he leaves, and comes face to face with the woman he’d thought was human when he saved her from a fire months before.

Except she’s not human. She’s a mate.

Camilla Carrillo almost lost her family to wildfire. To discover she’s fated to mate a creature made of flame and rage, and become one herself, should be terrifying. But somehow a rightness settles inside her, especially when she’s around the glowering red dragon shifter who wants nothing to do with her.

When Drake learns Cami bears his mark—the same mark as the High King—he refuses to believe she’s meant to be his. It’s too late. How could he turn Cami only to take her with him to the grave? At the same time, he can’t walk away. Hiding her from the corrupt, rotting High King might be the last honorable thing Drake ever does with the little time he has left.

Each book in the Fire's Edge series is a STANDALONE:
* The Mate (prequel)
* The Boss
* The Rookie
* The Enforcer

My Review    5 STARS

In this book of the series we finally get Drake's turn to find a mate, and happy lady Cami who likes to talk is the perfect fit for stoic little talker Drake.

We get more action from the team as they fight fires, we see more of Rune and his rescued mates and the Alaz team show their real colours to the team and the Alliance interfere with the running of things.

Cami is a strong character, very family orientated with strong beliefs.  Cami is the only person who can tolerate Drake when Rune brings him into his caves as he leaves his team in order to die quietly away from them.  However, with the nearness of Cami, Drake starts to feel and get better, not that he notices at first.  

When Cami decides she has to go back home to help her family, Rune and Skylar, Cami's friend, engineer it that Drake will find Cami as she tries to leave and get Drake to volunteer to be her bodyguard until he dies.

Of course there are complications and Drake finds he and his Dragon want more from Cami, but he can't.  Not until he finds that her touch is what is helping him back to a place he has not felt in years and especially when he finds that the Alaz team is after her.

Really enjoyed this book and meeting new family members and getting more from previous team members, their mates and other members yet to get their own stories.

REVIEW - The Mate (Fire's Edge #0.5) by Abigail Owen

The Book

Release Date: 17 September 2018

Goodreads Link

Maddie Thompson’s life just fell down a rabbit hole. Finding out she's a dragon shifter was one thing — she never quite fit into the human world, and this new reality feels… strangely right. However, discovering the next step is to choose a mate, and if she chooses wrong she'll die, is the other side of crazy. Especially when she already left a piece of her heart with someone who didn't want it.

To say dragon enforcer Fallon Conleth was shocked when the Mating Council summoned him as a potential mate for a newly found dragon doesn’t quite cover it. A mate is rare and precious and many dragons never find theirs. Fallon isn’t sure he’s worthy of the honor, not when so many deserve it more. He’ll just go through the motions and return home alone… until he sees Maddie. The human woman he reluctantly let walk away.

Fallon already broke Maddie's heart once, but if he can't convince her that they're meant to be, she'll die... and he won't be far behind.

A prequel to the scorching paranormal romance, The Boss, released September 24th, 2018.

My Review     5 STARS

This is a short novella to begin the series.

Fallon is in France as he has been elected with other Blue clan members as a Dragon mate has been found, only it is a woman he met in America and he has not forgotten her, especially as she left suddenly.

Lots happens in just a small space and we are introduced to Fallon's brother Finn and his teammates in America along with his love rival Cole and the new King of the Blue clan Ladon Omarr.

Fallon has to convince his mate to choose him while others battle for her heart, then he has to battle to keep her safe along with respecting her wishes.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

To escape exile, Aidan Paytah has had to prove himself worthy. Every second of every damn day. He fought with everything he had to earn his precarious place on the Huracán team of dragon shifter enforcers. He can't fail or afford distractions, no matter how temptingly sweet. Total loyalty to the clans and dedication to his team is the only way.

Sera Morrison lost her parents and her husband in short order, leaving her a single mother running her family winery alone. Nothing could ever have prepared her for the discovery that she's a destined dragon mate. But once she finds out, there's only one man she wants--the one who walks away.

However, the Alliance Council has its own agenda. They want to use her as a political pawn and force a mating that could ultimately kill her to save the High King. Aidan has no choice but to kidnap her, even if it means their close proximity reinforces their own mating bond. And mating with him could end up being a far worse fate for Sera....

My Review     5 STARS

**My thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing LLC, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Opps.  Although this is the third book in the series, this book can totally be read as a stand alone book.  Although I am still going to go back and read the missed books as I like this author so much.

We get a great connections between our pair of main characters and the side characters are well fleshed out and certainly add to the story.

Sera is a strong female character who has been through loss, but has the love for her son keeping her strong and dreams about Aidan, a dragon shifter at night that leave her hot and bothered.

Aiden is trying his best as the Rookie on his team to get a permanent position.  Dreams at night of him and Sera are all he can have of her as her believes that he cannot have Sera especially as he is an Orphaned dragon.

However, when Sera is in trouble and it is found that she is a dragon mate, things come out, especially as she does not just have one brand, but three on top of each other.

We get romance, mystery, thrilling suspense and strong friendship and love along with a great plot line.

This book contains three fast burning, fast paced stories of tattooed individuals that will steam up your evening.

All of the males are your alpha type man who likes to take charge and all of them give our main characters a second chance at romance and two of the stories the main characters were together in the past.

It was good read, but the stories flew past far too quickly for my liking.

I wake in a cage at the gilt market with no memory of my name.
When the fae King of Storms and Feathers purchases me, I vow to escape his palace of dust and gold, reclaim my memories, and return to the home that haunts my visions—a city of ruins in the decaying forests of the human realm. 

In the meantime, I’ll pretend to be what King Arrowyn wants—an obedient green-eyed bird, chained and powerless, his for the taunting and taking.
But when I escape and fall into viler clutches, Arrow hunts me down, determined to retrieve his disobedient, most valued possession.

The King of Storms and Feathers is the first book in the SPICY adult fantasy romance series, Courts of the Star Fae Realms. Readers who enjoy angsty enemies-to-lovers tension, a strong human heroine, and a TRULY morally gray fae king who yearns to control her but, instead, falls helplessly under her spell will love this book!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: 

** This series contains dark elements and is suitable for mature readers. 

SEE TRIGGERS BELOW...

A warning—he’s mean to her until he isn’t, and you're going to hate him until you don't. ;)

* spicy scenes, including mild dub-con (power imbalance)
* attempted (g)rape (not by MC)
* discussion of death of MC’s family
* slavery, addiction to gold serum, strong language, and violence
* amnesia trope
* and oh boy, Arrow! He’s a TRUE MORALLY GRAY HERO, and as I already said, please be WARNED - you’re gonna hate him till suddenly you don't! ;)
* although all plot elements are wrapped up nicely, there's a very juicy cliffhanger that’ll make you howl at your ereader and LONG for book 2!

My Review    5 STARS

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

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am really glad that I was able to read this book.

The world building was really good, the writing was good and the story really pulled me along and I really cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Although there were elements of a darker type of story, they were not as dark as I thought they might be so it was an easy read for me, but it certainly showed the main characters growing as individuals and pulled them closer together even when there were both unsure of the reactions the other would get or for Arrow, confused when Leaf did not react as he thought she would.

Both complimented the other and helped them to see outside of their own heads and experiences and were there for each other when they needed it most.

We get villains, we get new friends, betrayal and a very spicy kind of love.

The book ends in a cliff hangar that certainly has you chomping at the bit to get the next book in the series.  I will certainly be reading more of this author in the future.
