When he finds out they do they pursue her but there are a a few surprises along the way. This newly found couple will stay strong as they weather the hurdles in their way.
I liked this one, different then the others I have read in this genre. I felt for Melody she is a bundle of emotions and each one of the men have a different way of handling it. Maxim is the teddy bear, Oliver the nerd who has some hilarious moments, and Nickolas the football star who is not sure how to woo a woman other than extravagant gifts. Great read. ...more

Meg applies for a new jMeg didn't ask to be an Omega and having to basically raise herself her understanding of Omega's in heat is not all that much. Meg applies for a new job not filing the status she is an Omega and hoping to pass for a Beta, goes awry when she is doesn't go exactly as planned when one of the four alpha's uncovers her secret. It isn't long before she is being courted by the Ash pack, but one member is less than pleased by her acceptance in the pack.
Declan has his reasons for not wanting to get close to Meg. The others in his pack are falling hard for the little Omega and Declan cannot deny that she is a beauty, nor that he would not mind aa tumble with her but he has been burned before and his prejudices are keeping him far away from any happiness he could have. Can he let his past go to give his pack a chance at forever after or will he continue to drive a wedge between them?
This was a great read. A bit angsty between the Declan and meg angle but it all works out once you get the back story. Loved the characters especially Theo. Meg was really sweet and Theo is all over it.

Now she is supposed to run it and prove herself in a way that she is not all that comfortable with. Give her algorithms and she can hold court, give her people and it is not quite as easy. Bella finds herself with an ally she did not expect, Quarterback Christian Knox who agrees to help her. Problem is he also wants to date her.
From the first page you are pulled in and turning the pages as fast as you can read. I fully relished every moment of this story. Christian makes his interest known from the get go, he is intrigued by Bella who is unlike any woman he has met. A bit of a Cinderella type story which I was absolutely entertained with....more

When she hears that Beau Wade is moving back after retiring from his football careeFor Presley Fields she is happy with her life in Whitecap, Oregon. When she hears that Beau Wade is moving back after retiring from his football career, she is less than thrilled. Beau was the kid in high school who teased her mercilessly and when she thought things had changed between them he acted like a jerk just as quickly. In college she gave him another chance only to be burned yet again. Three times a charm some may say, but for Presley she has no interest in taking that chance with Beau again.
Beau had his reasons for the way he acted. An overbearing father who kept close tabs on him made it impossible to go after the Paisley. Now he is back and his eye is on the prize, Paisley. He plans to charm her but Paisley is not so willing to give him a chance. Beau knows he needs to prove to her he is all in, can he change the stubborn woman's mind?
Another terrific read from this author. I thought Beau was a bit bad boy with a cocky attitude who thought he could just waltz in and Paisley would accept him with open arms, he was completely wrong. Paisley is feisty and warm hearted, really liked her character. Story goes back and forth from past to present. Really looking forward the next book....more

There are so many layers to this story that had you wanting to reach out and hug Piper. I thought Bax was perfect for Piper, she has so much she is dealing with. Terrific chemistry, you are rooting for this couple during all the twists and turns during their journey.

They get close quickly but both have a past that they need to confront to move forward. Leaning on one another seems so natural but what happens when their trust is questioned?
I liked this one quite a bit, it was different then this author's other work. Daemon was terrific, he is all about Aliyah and Crew, a bit of a bull in a glass shop with his protectiveness over Aliyah and Crew which made me smile. Great beginning to series....more
