Healing Souls by Dixie Lynn Dwyer

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cora is a survivor, but she doesn’t see herself that way. She sees herself as weak and is struggling with trying to be a good role model for her two young children. When her sister makes a comment, not intending to hurt Cora, Cora decides to get a backbone and apply for a job as personal assistant for a security company.

Enter into the story bosses Beau, Cason, Blade, and twins Asher and Avery. Blade has been spurned before by a woman he loved and never wants to go down that road again. Beau is a troubled former soldier recovering, but he sees something in Cora reminds him of himself. Cason is instantly smitten and is patient with Cora, and Asher and Avery have a reputation with the ladies as love them and leave them but with Cora they find they want only to be with her.

Good story, I felt for Cora who is walking a fine line between her new life and ghosts of her old. Was an emotional read as you get to know all the characters, Blade was the most bitter because of his past but there is a longing there for Cora. Another good read from Dixie Lynn Dwyer.

Satisfying Extortion by Natalie Acres

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Kurt, Marcus, and Blaez are called in on a new case they are ready to jump into action. Kurt knew he would be meeting his mate soon, the dreams he had set the path to his future.

With the threat setting it’s sights on Suzette, all three men have to keep her safe and mated to keep her by their side.

I would have liked to see how the ending played out a bit more, everything was resolved but I could of used a few more pages of seeing this couple pave their way. I liked Suzette and found her to be perfect for all three men. Good book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As his stalker tendencies begin to amp up, Verdria decides it is time to get out of town.

I have been waiting to find a new author for menage that grabs my attention. Is the book perfect, no, but it is entertaining all the same. Verdria has issues with her past that have her unwilling to hand over her trust to Ryker and Owen. Ryker and Owen plan to break down that wall but it is not instant and with the continued attacks from her ex, her safety comes first. Loved this one.

Tag and Release by Kaliana Cole

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Casey Buckley moves to Liberty Springs, Wyoming ready to take a chance and get to know a sister she barely knows and relocate her business, fully aware of the lifestyles that are widely accepted in the little town. Things are looking up as she gets a glance of the two brothers who live next door, even though her sister warns her they are good for one round and will dump her as soon as they have caught her, which she is fine with not wanting any new entanglements.

Luke and Brody Marshall have a standard way of finding a woman, Luke casts the line and once hooked, Brody comes along for the ride. As they plan in a public setting their intent of having Casey, they should have looked around instead they get their tacky words flung back in their face and a roaring need to claim the red haired goddess whose brazen behavior has them both trying to seduce her.

Brody has been burned once before and has no plans of repeating the process again, but everything about Casey feels so right especially when she is in his arms. She pushes all of his boundaries and gives herself fully to every new experience they offer her, with their reputations Brody realizes he will have to prove to Casey that he is in this new relationship forever, even though she is going to put up a hell of a fight along the way.

Wicked, wicked, wicked and pure fun. I sloughed off everything last night just to read this, it catches you from the first page and even when the book was over you want to read more.

This had one of the best erotic scenes I have ever read in a book, all I will say is it involves a hat and oozes masculinity. Definitely in my top 5 books of erotica.

Kisses Sweeter Than Pie by Dixie Lynn Dwyer

Kisses Sweeter Than Pie by Dixie Lynn Dwyer

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Believing she had met the man of her dreams, Nina Valone gave herself to him with the hope of happily ever after. When she found out he was cheating on her, she tried to reason with him and leave, but it turned out to be a brutal fight and Nina left on the run with no ID or friends to reach out to. Finding herself in Treasure Town Nina is building a life for herself backing pies and hoping to begin her business.

An arsonist is creating havoc in Treasure Town and brothers Trent, Buddy and Johnny are cleaning up the mess. When Nina comes into their lives, they think they have finally found what they have been looking for, but Nina is fearful they will get to close and find out who she really is.

This one was okay, not my favorite in the series. I had a slight issue with Nina being 24 and so naive, she was a bit of a contradiction. Trent doesn’t trust Nina from the get go, believing she is hiding something but once he realizes what he sets out trying to prove he is trustworthy. I think overall a good concept but a bit rushed, will reread again in awhile and may change my mind on the story.

Marking Melody by R.E. Butler

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Were-lion Melody Marx knows she is different than other felines, where most felines of her nature are uncaring and aloof, she is dedicated to those she loves. When Melody is rescued after being held as a captive for saving another, she realizes quickly she has found her mates.

Tristan and Micah Harrison realize very quickly that Melody is different than the other women they have met that are lions. There job as her mates is to love and protect her, but when people from their own town spurn her because she is a feline lion they need to decide if they will go or stay?

I was a bit torn on this one, has another story that is a surprise that develops from another character from the first book. Overall good story but it was a bit too smooth for Micah, Tristan and Melody in the acceptance of mates. Good story but I think I liked the complexity of the first two books more.

Keira’s Wolf Saviors by Becca Van

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

On the run from a her brother, Keira O’Lachlan is about to not only be broke but have no where to turn. When Keira decides to eat at the Aztec Club to contemplate her options, she finds herself not only with a job but the attention of three handsome men.

Jake, Greg, and Devon Domain know instantly Keira is their mate. They also know she is hiding something that has her scared to death. Needing to woo their mate as well as tell her they are shifters is a task they are more than up for but before they get the chance they find Keira is in danger.

Had some great elements to the story but Keira seemed a bit of a ditz to me, she has no money but decides to go to a restaurant to blow through the rest of her cash and she is an accountant. Had a couple of contradictory things like that but overall the story flowed and I liked Devon the best. Wish the stories were a bit longer and that you could get to know each of the characters a bit more.

Sara’s Mates by Becca Van

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sara Wise had been teasing her newly married sister about finding a couple of mates for herself, but when Chase and Tony Avero volunteer for the job she doesn’t know quite what to think. The mating musk is in full bloom, but Sara is struggling with her life being defined by her career and what it means if she goes ahead with mating the two men who are quickly becoming important to her.

So far best in series. I liked Sara she was very direct and both Tony and Chase are allowing her the time, even though it is hurting them, to make her own choices. She is a bit of a hellcat but at the same time she is sweet and in need of a good cuddle. Hope there is more to come.
