Escape from Obsession (The American Soldier Collection, #1)Escape from Obsession by Dixie Lynn Dwyer

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The moment Garrett McCallister sets eyes on Gia Marie Giselli, he is caught hook, line, and sinker. Gia however is still healing her wounds from an unhealthy relationship that took a shocking turn and despite her attraction to Garrett, she is not comfortable dating.

Football assistant coach Wes McCallister can’t believe his luck when meeting Gia, he wants her and goes out of his way to find an excuse to spend time with her. Texas Ranger Gunner “Gunny” has heard quite a bit about Gia through his brothers Wes and Garrett but nothing prepared him for the beautiful woman who already has found a way into his heart. Despite the fact that none of the brothers know about her past, they all know they need to go slow. An obsession with Gia is quickly taking an unhealthy turn by a co-worker and when she is hurt Wes, Garrett and Gunny are by her side.

Another wonderful read by Dixie Lynn Dwyer. The only thing that got me was Gunny’s name, I had a hard time imagining a hulking Texas badass Ranger as Gunny.

Bared for Her Bear (Wylde Bears #1)Bared for Her Bear by Jenika Snow

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After a miserable relationship with a jackal shifter, February “Ary” Felina an ocelot knows on her thirtieth birthday she needs to throw caution to the wind and be ravaged by an insatiable male. Who better than bear alpha shifter, Charlie Wylde. Charlie Wylde has a reputation for being wild in bed and never sleeping with the same woman twice, just want the doctor ordered, that is until the condom breaks.

What Ary doesn’t realize as she is a panicking over a possible pregnancy, is Charlie wants her as his mate. Although he is taking his sweet time admitting it to his human side, his bear knows Ary is his to keep.

Fantastic first book int he Wylde Bears series. Charlie is a jerk in some ways because of the freak out moment, but once he makes up his mind on what he wants…Ary… he is utterly sweet. I look forward to reading the rest of the series, all the brothers are unattachable in a sense but for different reasons.

No Ifs, Ands, or Bears About It (Grayslake, #1)No Ifs, Ands, or Bears About It by Celia Kyle

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What’s a girl to do when she finds a shifter cub hiding in her pantry? Any normal girl would freak, but Mia knows all about shifters, she was raised by one.

As Alpha, werebear Ty knows he has to return the cub to his custodian, but Mia has no problem putting this alpha in place. Of course all it is doing it driving Ty crazy and his need to mate her is riding him hard. With politics swirling and a mate who is not she wants to be claimed, Ty has his hands full and he knows he will never be able to give up Mia now he has to convince her of that.

Very fun first book in the Grayslake series. Mia is a handful and Ty believes it is just destiny and the mating just needs to be completed, Mia believes it does not. I liked that the story delved into all the politic in shifter society. Look forward to more enchanting books in the series.

A to Zane by Cherie Nicholls

A to Zane (Shifters of Hillside, #4)A to Zane by Cherie Nicholls

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Abby learned a long time ago where she stood with men, they don’t want a woman with real curves and can be quite cruel about letting her know this simple fact. It didn’t stop Abby from building her own company and solving other peoples problems though.

When Zane, a tiger shifter begins to pursue Abby she is flustered. She doesn’t know what his game is but she is having none of it. Of course Zane finds her even more intriguing and makes his intentions known. He never planned on staying though, tigers are roamers but everything about Abby is keeping him off kilter and he finds that when she gets herself in a bit of trouble his instinct to mate begins to kick in.

This was a delicious delight. I had not picked up any of Cherie Nicholls books but thoroughly enjoyed this story. Zane is filled with swagger and Abby although mouthy and tough, is also a little frail in the sense of self esteem. Going to pick up the others to read, this is one fun series.

Vulfen Alpha's Mate (Vulfen Cadre, #1)Vulfen Alpha’s Mate by Laina Kenney

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ellie Bradley can’t wait until her date is over, the man drones on about himself so much, she finds that she is more interested in seeking out the waiter who has been the only highlight of the miserable date.

Rylek Sidaov, Alpha of the three Vulfen clans, doesn’t understand the draw he has to beautiful human. If she were Vulfen than he would know it is his mate, when her date acts in a despicable manner, Rylek has had enough and ready to step in. With one touch, Rylek is not sure he can let go, would she be strong enough to help lead his clan?

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. A lot of traditional aspects to the Vulfen’s which made the story even more interesting. Would definitly read the next one.

Ascension (Cherchez Pack, #1)Ascension by Lauren Dane

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kari Warner just wanted some chocolate when she made the ridiculous mistake of taking a short cut in an alley that left her dying from an attack from a large dog. Waking up from a coma, she had not expected to live nor had she planned on being kidnapped and told she was the mate to Andreas Phinney.

Andreas knew the moment he scented Kari she was his mate. He had planned to woo her properly, but an over aggressive wolf changed her instead. Even though Kari puts up a fight about becoming his mate, he knows she is changing her mind with each moment they spend together. As quickly as Kari realizes her true feelings and destiny to be mate to the Alpha, she also has someone wanting to kill her.

I liked this quite a bit, but I have read a few other shifter stories that are similar. I liked Andreas a lot, Keri is a hoot and the betas are swoon worthy. All and all pretty good story.

Head Over Tail (Ridgeville, #3)Head Over Tail by Celia Kyle

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Maddy Lane is in the process of finding her inner bitch, as a sensitive lion shifter it is not in her nature to fight back, but it sure came in handy when she was kidnapped.

Ricker Croft is the best tracker out there, as a tiger his dominant nature and skills have sent him to rescue the prima’s best friend Maddy. Just a catch of her scent though has Riker realizing it she is his mate and will do whatever he can to protect her. Of course the accepting sensitive mate he is expecting is not what he gets. Maddy is a complete contradiction and while she wants to mate with Riker, she is not willing to let him call all the shots, no matter how gifted he is in trying to coerce her.

I thought this was a lot of fun, did not read in order but was thoroughly entertained and easily caught on with what the series was about. Maddy is sweet and Riker is pure bad ass but together they are hot hot hot.

Suddenly Wolf (Suddenly Wolf, #1)Suddenly Wolf by Abby Blake

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When a bumbled attempted robbery ends with Andrea becoming a lycan, all hell breaks loose. Not only is she becoming a lycan, she finds out she has three mates. One alpha, one sweet, and one charmer. Of course Andrea wants none of it, she has been divorced once and is not planning to be in another relationship, let alone three. However, Xavier, Daegen, and Issac are determined to win her heart.

Enjoyable read. This was humorous and a bit unexpected. The story had a very interesting twist to the alpha shifter mate. If you like menage shifter stories this is one to pick up.

He Ain't Lion (Ridgeville, #1)He Ain’t Lion by Celia Kyle

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alpha Alex O’Connell is anxiously waiting to participate and oversea the mating frenzy that occurs every few months and if lucky a pregnancy occurs. However, Alex doesn’t need an unaware human entering the premises and plans to shoo her away immediately until he catches her scent.

Maya Joseph has an itch she needs scratched, she has been told about the orgy that will occur and figures it is the perfect time for a one night stand. Alex looks like a perfect candidate for her, but Maya has know clue that the sensual bite he gave her during sex is about to turn her world upside down.

Funny, seductive, and a heck of a lot of fun. Loved Alex, he seems so unsure about his mate. Maya is a hoot, she is unpredictable and determined. Great book.
