But as danger approaches, he learns that underestimating the sexy little wolf is a big mistake.

My Review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

I had to get this book because I fell in love with Fawkes in Her Warriors Three Wished and I have an obsession with the Dante’s Circle Series.

What would you do if everyone who wanted you only wanted you to fulfill their own needs and desires?

Leslie has been through hell on earth over the past year. Her brother tried to force her into a mating with their packs Beta named Hunter only to have it blow up in his face when she revealed the location where they were hiding Becca his true mate. Leslie’s brother would have been happy to have taken her life for her betrayal to him. The other pack members wanted to use her for mating because of her bloodline and then throw her away. Damaged did not even come close to describe how Leslie felt about herself.

Fawkes was spawn of the devil, literally. It was his destiny to walk on earth taking millions of souls devouring the human race. His birthday was coming up and he had a choice to make. Did he become his father’s ultimate soul catcher or was there another option. Fawkes saw his demon friend Balin find his true mates and escape the bowels of hell. Could he be that lucky and where would he start to look for her?

The thing about destiny is that no matter what you do you can never tell when it will sneak up on you.

Carrie Ann Ryan is masterful when it come to character development. Your heart can’t help but break for Leslie and what she has been through and you really do hope that Fawkes can find his other half. She does and excellent job at packing a ton of spice with action adventure in this shorter novella. I reads just like a full length novel, and you do not feel like you are missing anything. I am hoping to see more of Fawkes and Leslie in Tangled Innocence coming next year. Thank Goddess that I have the Redwood Pack Series to hold me over for until then.

If you like a sinfully sexy story that will have you panting like a wolf, then you will love Ever After.

Forever Young by Sawyer Bennett Blog Tour, Review, + **Giveaway**

Forever-Young-Banner (1)

Synopsis

She’s a loner, she likes to fight and, oh yeah…she has the ability to see the demons that lay beneath the faces of ordinary humans. It’s a gift Charlie Wright inherited the night her parents were brutally murdered when she was fourteen years old.

Now in her last year of high school, Charlie just can’t seem to keep herself out of trouble.  Rather than taking a one-way trip to juvenile detention, Charlie chooses to join a mysterious group called The ForeverLand Alliance.

And then her life really gets weird.

Charlie finds herself magically transported to an alternate universe. In Semper Terra, no one ages, people fly, and one stunningly gorgeous, immortal man manages to capture Charlie’s heart and awaken the adult woman she is becoming.

But it’s not all fun and games. For Charlie is training to become an Annihilator, a select group of Semper Terrans who protect mankind from all of those things that go “bump in the night”.

It’s only when Charlie finds herself stuck in the middle of a prophecy that could bring about the end of the world that she truly begins to understand the deep sacrifices she will have to make.

My Review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

 

What would you do if you were given the chance to start over? Would you take it?

Charlie is on her own because both of her parents tragically taken from her when she was only 13 years old. At a time when most girls need their mother more than they would like to admit. Sadly, Charlie was shuffled around from foster home to foster home until she became a ward of the state.

Dr. Tinsdale the school principal would say, “Trouble always seems to find you, Charlie.”

It was not like Charlie was going looking for trouble, but she found herself coming to the defense of those less fortunate more often then not. Protecting others was engrained in her as her parents had protected her.

It seems her most recent altercation might land her in some serious trouble, so, when Dr. Tinsdale offered her an out she did not have much choice but to take it. He introduces her to his friend Sebastian and when Sebastian showed Charlie what her life could be like, she was blown away. Semper Terra is the most beautiful place that Charlie has ever seen, and when Caiden walks in, her heart flutters, and she is captivated by is gorgeous good looks. But looks can be deceiving…

Caiden is a mentor and is smitten with Charlie from the moment he sees her. He does his best to keep his distance and remain professional as he trains with Charlie. He does not understand the pull Charlie has on him.  He has dated many beautiful women but something is different about Charlie.  As soon as she completes her training he throws caution the wind…

Then there is this whole prophecy thing.  Just yesterday Charlie was an ordinary girl.  Now she is expected to save the world?

I love the way that Sawyer has me completely enraptured in Semper Terra. I can feel the sun shining and hear the waves crashing on the beach. I feel as if I have been whisked away to neverland. Of course the character development in this story is stupendous. I see myself in Charlie. I was always getting into trouble trying to take down the bullies. I had more suspensions then any other honor student in the history of the school. I felt like Sawyer did and excellent job with Charlie in showing how much she truly cared for others. Caiden took my breath away. He is such a gentleman and a perfect hero to Charlies heroine.  Forever Young is passionate love story about first loves. I truly enjoyed this read and I hope to see Charlie and Caiden’s relationship grow even stronger in book two.

If you are a fan of paranormal romance, and want to start a sweet new series, you should pick up Forever Young.

My Review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472
Melody Anne delivers a scorchingly hot ending to a sinfully sexy series. I stayed up until 2:00 am to finish this book. I could not put it down.

Rachel Palazzo has been kidnapped by King Adriano of Corythia on Rafe and Avi’s wedding day. Of course Rafe wants to storm the palace and rescue his sister right away but Avi talks him into waiting a week before running after Rachel. Maybe Rachel and Adriane and rekindle old flames and give a relationship a shot. Or not…Adriane demands that Rachel marry him because she is carrying the heir to his throne. Rachel does not respond well to demands so she digs her heals in. She will not marry for anything other than love.

Shane knows what he wants and he wants Lea to be with him forever but Lea is tired of Shane’s secrets. Can she trust him enough to open up her heart again?

And yes, it finally happens Rafe and Avi get married. It is a beautiful wedding and everything Avi could have ever wanted.

I can’t believe it is over:( I have adored this series from the beginning. The character development throughout this series has been outstanding. I never in a million years thought that I would fall in love with Rafe. Avi makes him such a better man. Adriane and Rachel’s stubbornness made me want to scream at times. I loved the Alpha female in Rachel. She was not going to make it easy for Adriane. At least Adriane was just as stubborn and kept on trying. I swear he was a glutton for punishment. Shane earned my respect in this book for overcoming so much adversity and pouring his heart and soul into doing whatever it took to earn Lea’s love and trust. The plot twists had me turning the pages again and again.

Scorched has Action Adventure, Suspense, and Hot Steamy Romance all wrapped up in an sweet finale. Bravo Melody Anne! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next.

Finding the Right Girl by Violet Duke Review and ***Giveaway***

From the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author who brought you the Nice Girl to Love trilogy, comes A Nice GUY to Love spin-off…

finding the right girl

Synopsis

Brian Sullivan has been in love twice in his lifetime. He lost his first love to early-onset Huntington’s, and he lost the other more recently…to his brother. And somehow, his heart has managed to heal itself after both. Amazingly, without therapy. That doesn’t mean Brian hasn’t gotten more wary along the way, however. In fact, he’s been thinking lately that maybe his brother’s now retired nothing-but-flings rule isn’t such a bad idea. Unfortunately, being the nice guy poster boy and all, he isn’t exactly versed in the fine art of flings. So he looks to the outrageously ‘unique,’ provokingly button-pushing Tessa Daniels for a crash course.

There’s absolutely no way he’s falling in love with this one…right?

Tessa has no idea what she was thinking telling Brian that she was some sort of fling expert. She’s never been flung before and she sure as heck doesn’t know where or how to begin flinging a guy like Brian. It was a temporary lapse in sanity, really–no doubt because of the can’t-help-but-fall-for-him brain fuzz that hits her whenever he’s around. Not only does the man have her being more herself than she’s ever been in her life, but he’s the only person she knows who seems to have as many demons and skeletons in the closet as she does. What’s more, he’s got her thinking of the one thing she stopped letting herself even hope for years ago.

A happily ever after.

My Review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

Does true love only come once in a lifetime? How can you do everything right and still end up with a death sentence? Do you run and hide or do you love life to the fullest?

Brian Sullivan has done everything right. He was the rock his wife Beth needed when she was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease (HD). He stood by her even when she did not remember who he was. He is now the sole caregiver for his daughter Skylar and she is showing signs of having the horrible disease his wife fought for years. He really believed that Abby was the one for him, but she chose his brother Connor in the end. They are still really good friends, but it is not the same. He is so lost and lonely..

Tessa has done everything right. She took care of her sister and father when their HD was at its worst. She worked several jobs to keep them afloat and pay for their medical bills. Her mother walked out on them and left Tessa to pick up the pieces. She loved her family with all her heart and would not have given up her time with them for the world. She has never allowed anyone to get close to her for fear of losing them someday.

What happens when Brian and Tessa cross paths? Will each of them find the one person that can complete them? Could they have another chance at true love? Nobody else understands what it is like loosing someone to HD like they do. Or will this terrible disease drive a wedge between them and keep them from ever loving anyone again?

Violet does an excellent job teaching the reader about this terrible disease and the toll that it takes on the person that has HD as well as how it affects their friends and family. She shows us in this story that no matter how much time you might think you have on this earth, that you should live and love to the fullest. This book had me sobbing at one point and laughing at Tessa and her quirkiness that drove Brian mad. Brian is such a caring, kind soul and to top it off is smokin hot. He is an alpha male warrior when it comes to Tessa. I think his character might be have been inspired by MVD if I had to guess.

This book is about taking chances on love and living life to the fullest even in it’s darkest hours. If you like a hero and heroine that are willing to fight for each other and can beat the odds then you will love this wonderful love story.
