Her inheritance stipulations were filled with surprises. She and her friends want to continue the good deeds even when her relative is absent. Would they have moved forward if they'd seen their future?
There was never a dull moment. Her support system was ready and willing to help. This new team has started with a fun, sometimes funny series I'm enjoying. You will, too. Each mystery can stand alone....more

Science vs power/politics=love?
Her life was science, discovering what damaged the land and how to repair it. She was the third sister to wed a prince from another world to cement an alliance. At least the one chosen for her had similar interests. She'd spent her life as the daughter of the president. She accepted her duty. Little did she realize the danger for her and the land to be her new home.
Roq had similar expectations until he met the beautiful, intelligent woman. His feelings made him not only care but also feel protective.
Once again the author has combined situations with another planet and people into romantic fiction we all enjoy. Don't miss the third story while I wait for number four!...more

Arranged marriages for political reasons usually involve one daughter. Hold on tight because this time, there are four daughters.
Venus is independent and willing to do her duty but is not thrilled. That is until she meets the super hot alien Prince to be her husband.
Azlun has similar feelings, both bad and good. He wasn't ready to settle down--until he saw her and held her to dance at her sister's wedding.
Both had unexpected feelings and strong chemistry. Getting to know each other wasn't going to go smoothly. Some didn't want earthlings mixing with their bloodlines. That isn't the only problem. Some problems were dangerous. He didn't want the woman he was coming to care for fighting their enemies. She was strong and trained, refusing to stand back and watch until...you are going to have to read to find out more. It's a good one don't miss it. ...more

She'd crushed on him since she was a kid. He was her big brother's best friend. Little did she k now. Also he'd been hiding his feelings since he realized she was all grown up.
Worry about her brother's feelings wasn't the only problem. Bidding on him at a bachelor for sale charity affair gave her a chance to make some memories. Oh what memories. ...more

They were a couple from toddler age. Now he's away proving himself on club business. She's in school trying to live a little. Soon they'll be together for real. They would have been had not a vicious attack changed her life forever.
He came home to surprise her and found a shattered woman. Not only did he swear to put her back together but to make the man who caused her pain pay long and hard.
Tears begin the story but there are so many wonderful emotions from the club family, their blood family, and so much more. I loved the story so much. I can't tell you many of the reasons for this without using spoilers. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE. Thank you Ms. Ashers for such a good one. I can't wait for more in this series. Keep 'em comin'....more

She needs a catching story to get a chance to move up as a reporter. It's a full moon what better than a story about the town graveyard? There are plenty of rumors and made-up stories. At least she thinks they are made up. Could a visit there prove the stories right or wrong?
Surprises, unexpected characters, and so much more. She meets someone who brings out feelings she isn't ready for. Is he?
This is a great, short PNR story that will make you fall for the people and love the possibilities. The not-so-nice guy just may be sorry he was so rude to Amy.

They have a history and not a good one. Their present could be so much more if they can get past their problem. His music career needs a boost. The opportunity is there IF he sings with Sadie. Little does he know their issues aren't all that makes her hesitate. She's an empath. A huge audience could be more than she can handle.

We get to visit old friends and see how their lives are progressing. Don't worry if you are new to the series, this can stand alone.

Permanent relationships weren't something he wanted or would let in his life. The club was his life and family. When he was told to be protector to the woman and her son he'd do it. He wouldn't let the feelings make a difference. It was hard to do when they were constantly together. Their fear and history of abuse ate at him.
She didn't want another strong, dangerous man in their lives, and fighting her feelings was another battle to wage.
I loved this story. The three needed each other even if they didn't realize it. Watching them all come together I shared with a reading buddy and we both needed tissues.
Danger and enemies try to hurt the and the club. Will they succeed?
The series is amazing and the book is unforgettable. Don't miss this touching story with characters supporting each other and lives changing....more

Loner. Yeah, she has been for most of her life. Prospecting with the Handmaidens is giving her a family. Still, she doesn't mingle. Will she? After an unauthorized outing with some others, she met someone. But long distance isn't for her. She's keeping secrets about her past that affect her present. Will she open up?
He thought they had something going but she just closed up. With a chance to confront her face to face, can he persuade her to give them a chance?
I loved this one and was so taken by their relationship. It won't be easy for them but they both have good "family" behind them. The club's enemy rears it's ugly head. The author has some little sneaky mystery going on. Just plan on a compelling read--as always with the author....more

LA Defiance MC is strong with the strongest members and family. The book has everything, loyal brothers and officers, strong hot ol'ladies and even kids, powerful enemies, and some disloyalty that rears its ugly head. You'll laugh, cry, and open your mouth in shock. Get prepared for it all.
I love or hate every single character. There is no soft feeling, love 'em strong or hate 'em hard. Lots of chemistry and steam. Loki and Bea were kids when their feelings started. A tragedy tore them apart until an emergency brought them together again. Will it give them another chance?
The MC isn't one to create problems—unless--you hurt or go against the club and family. Not a good idea as you will find out.
I love the whole series and I strongly recommend you read them all, however, it isn't necessary this can stand alone....more

Olive would like a family but she wants a love match, not someone her family pressureNo Mane, No Gain - Milly Taiden Pub 10/19/24 5 stars Olive & Chaos
Olive would like a family but she wants a love match, not someone her family pressures her to marry. Chaos, as the leader of the Lion group and billionaire CEO, is expected to settle with the arrangement made when he and the female were young. He wants a love match as well.
How will Gerri handle this one?
The two meet and are attracted—very attracted. Their relationship is fun, and the chemistry is off the charts, with plenty of dangerous distractions. The question isn't whether they will make it together but whether she will live.

It isn't easy to review a book as goodAsher (In the Company of Snipers Book 27) by Irish Winters pub 10/30/24 5 stars Marlow & Asher + half of the TEAM
It isn't easy to review a book as good as this one. The TEAM is a secret group taking on dangerous missions, some with the government's approval or even request. Other jobs are private. They are almost exclusively former military personnel with the highest skills.
On a rescue mission, they find Marlow tortured and cannot leave her behind even with the danger and time constraints. She isn't the easiest person after all the people who have betrayed her from childhood.
It takes time and the caring patience of the TEAM family, including the women and children, k9 puppies, and partners. Asher hadn't planned to add love to his life as had so many teammates. You know what they say about the best-laid plans. Every page will stir your emotions (bring tissues). Romance, steam, danger, and so much more. As always the author gives fans a wonderful experience....more

The author warns readers this is not her usual style. I did like it, however, it is different, and as some reviewers suggested it be a bit longer and more involved. This is a dark romance and not a PRN. I enjoy some shorter books due to the reading time involved.
Dark romance, mystery, dark heat, and more. I enjoyed it and recommend readers open their minds for a different Milly Taiden story.

The author is new to me, however, I'll be reading more. I absolutely loved this one. Everyone needs a Flynn. I'm a K9 fan and along with our Blue Line heroes and teachers with other wonderful characters, murder to solve, and a touching romance it checks all the boxes.
A good deed for her school and class puts Tia in an uncomfortable situation. She wins a ride-along with a police officer. A past makes it painful, but she talks herself up into going. Little did she know the officer would be a detective she'd known and crushed on when they were in high school. The simple ride-along turns into a murder scene.
The story grabbed and held onto me from page one. Flynn, the K9, plays a major role and is a star. Enjoy. I'm going to find some more books by Nonna Henry....more

I freaking love this series and have begged for Dumond's story. (Thank you, Ms. Carlisle)
He is in charge of the gargoyle unit in place to protect humans in the city and around. She is in search of answers about her family, mainly her twin sister, Aanya, whom she hadn't known about. (Book one in the series is Anya's story).
There is action, secrets, steam (lots of steam), great characters new and known, and magic. A story you won't be able to put down. An enemy stalks the sisters using magic and his own army of evil. It isn't a long story but it will keep you turning pages until those dreadful words THE END.

Be prepared to meet not-so-normal paranormals. It's Halloween at this gathering. Marnie meets people who will be important in her life. She has old and now new friends who help her with an important search. Not only is she searching, there is danger. Who is after whom? Those looking don't know who is after them or any of them. I am pretty good at figuring out who the bad guys are in books. I didn't have any idea this time.
It's a unique read you won't be able to put down. ...more

After being given custody when losing both, Fia follows her sister's and brother-in-law's wish to settle in the little town filled with magical people who make them feel like family. Things are going well when Sayer, Vienna's uncle, arrives saying he should be raising her as she is from his royal lion Shifter Family.
Will they be able to co-parent and abide by Vienna's parents' wishes? As they are working it out, other family members want custody. Two strong paranormal families. Who will make the best life for the child?
The author is one of my favorites in using paranormal characters in life situations people live in every day. Add humor, strength, loyalty, and plenty of steam. I guarantee you will fall for Vienna and love the people in the town and their acceptance of this new family. ...more

This is a dark read. I found little redeeming about the "hero". For me, I can deal with a little vigilant action if the one punished deserves it. I'm less appreciative of one who does it for his own reasons.
There is love between them after years of hiding their feeling. Her love protected her. But was there more? You'll need to read and make up your own mind....more

She wanted a good life for her young son. A single mom's life isn't easy. She had support, Tyson, a wealthy man who'd been there for Annette and as a father figure. Yet they had not let feelings or chemistry enter their relationship. Returning to her childhood area separated them. Would they keep apart or would the separation bring them closer?
The MacKenny brothers and the MC would protect them. The bad guys thought the little boy was the billionaire's son and worth a lot when they kidnapped him. The love all shared for the precious little boy made his recovery a top priority.
Great characters and story. My main objection—this is the Final Book in the series. ...more
