Paranormal Romance

Date Published: 6/25/2019

James Stonewoll is an Elite Assassin for the Under Realm Syndicate—an expert hunter and merciless killer. As a former pirate, he thrives on danger, the more perilous the mission, the better and he can’t resist his newest contract: eliminate a rebel shape-shifting magic thief that stalks the border of the Under Realm kidnapping and murdering innocent Others. But never did the centuries old vampire anticipate playing hero to a mythical temptress with luscious curves, tantalizing lips, and hypnotic eyes.

Captured and held prisoner, Katya Moro was trapped in a seemingly endless loop of unimaginable agony as her magic was slowly being torn from her soul. A gasp away from death, she is rescued by a sinful kiss and awakens in the strong arms of a powerful warrior whose roguish smile, sharp fangs, and intense strength unlock dormant instincts within her, an all-consuming madness that demands complete surrender.

Gazing down at her, James knew he had to kill her. Dark Magic Wielders, like the beautiful female he’d found, were a grave threat to human society and were not permitted to roam the mortal world. But Katya’s smoky voice and sweet kisses stir a fierce hunger inside him. She is unpredictable, uncontrollable and wickedly seductive—his perfect kind of dangerous. To keep her safe, James will protect her from the magic thieves that hunt her and his fellow assassins until he can find a way to return Katya to her home in the Under Realm.

Can Katya’s passion conquer the darkness within his soul?

Review: Three Wishes by Kristen Ashley

Three Wishes by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lily Jacobs grew up with humble beginnings but she also grew up with a genie who had been with her family for two other generations. Fazire had given the family three wishes, only one has ever been used and now Fazire has to give Lily news he knows will devastate her.

The timing was all wrong, Lily had fallen in love with Nathaniel McAllister in a whirlwind romance but when she receives news that shatters her world she heads home. Despite all her efforts she doesn’t hear from Nate. Eight years later Nate finds out Lily had a child that was his and he wants answers. Everything he thought he new turns out to be a lie but Nate always was battling himself with not feeling he was good enough for Lily, will he figure it out in time or will he let his insecurities ruin the best thing that ever happened to him.

Throw in a genie with a temper, a warm soul and a alpha male and you have a magnificent read. This was wonderful, had a few teary eyed moments and I was surprised how it played out. Loved Lily, she is sweet and yet has a bit of a temper that ignites with Nate. Nate is broody and a bit to hard on himself but a perfect match for Lily. Excellent read.

EXCERPT:

I’d never been to Memory Hill before, and I didn’t know why.

I could see it off my balcony. From time to time, I even watched servants make the pilgrimage up the hill to cry and spend time mourning loved ones, but I had never seen a grave or a funeral. Not that they were great to go to, but still. They had a use, and the people left behind needed them.

Since I didn’t know which keepsake represented Servant’s lost children, I knelt at the base of the first trellis and laid the bouquet of lilies there. Staring up at all the unread letters and fading figurines, something caught my eye. There was a fake mustache dancing in the wind, looking too playful to be at a memorial.

I scoffed, grateful someone had a really good sense of humor in such sadness to hang a fake mustache. Standing, I took hold of it, noting the familiar feeling in my hand. As I ran my fingers over the matted mess of mustache, I felt the surge of something pushing to the front of my mind.

All of a sudden, a handsome face flashed forward. With it came blonde wavy hair, earnest blue eyes, and soft lips that bent my will. A tuxedo. A river and tears.

I gasped as a letter – the start of a name – began to emerge in my mind.

S…

“Princess?” Levi called, looking like he wanted to come up the hill.

I shook my head, glancing back down with a smile. After a moment, I tentatively reached out and touched the mustache again. This time I felt the warmth of his lips and the depth and cadence of his voice as he pleaded with me. I couldn’t hear his words, but they were pulling me in even through silence. I strained as hard as I could, but I couldn’t push past the invisible wall dividing details from my memory.

Even in the lowlight shadow of the memory, I could tell it was Alexander, one of Saiza’s handsome blonde sons. Shocked, I leapt back from the mustache like it burned me. I had never been involved with one of Saiza’s sons.

Never. Right?

The mustache swayed from my motion and the wind, and I couldn’t peel my eyes away from it. How did I have intimate memories of Alexander? The memory was wrong somehow. It couldn’t have been him. After all, he wasn’t dead. Didn’t Levi say Memory Hill was for people who had passed? Even more confusing, if I had these memories, then I must’ve been the person who placed the mustache there.

But…why would I do that? And when?

I had no memory of it.

A Job From Hell by Jayde Scott

A Job From Hell by Jayde Scott
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Amber can’t believe her brother got her a job as a housekeeper in Scotland, while the change of scenery is ideal considering her boyfriend put their relationship on hiatus, she is hardly a housekeeper. Amber meets Aidan the owner of the house and is surprised, he is young and handsome as well as a recluse. Little did Amber know that things really do go bump in the night and after her brother talks her into a life altering event, she becomes surrounded by people she doesn’t know if she can trust. Not to mention Aidan is her soul mate.

This was intriguing but there was so much it was hard to follow initially. Had a gothic feel and several story lines that look like will develop in future books. Liked the concept.

Hunting Season by Shelly Laurenston

Hunting Season by Shelly Laurenston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wilhelm Yager, leader of the Ravens knows one thing, Neecy Lawrence is going to be his. Neecy is part of the New Jersey Crows and although they both are fighting for their own clan, he has a plan to get Neecy in his bed, apartment, and wherever else he can take her. Neecy is not interested though, she doesn’t want to be anywhere near Yager. Will makes her a proposition though, 24 hours in his bed. Neecy agrees however she doesn’t realize that Yager has some loopholes of his own.

Very fun read. Neecy is a handful, but Will does not back down. He is half crazy and I loved the geek factor, citing Russ Meyers was a hoot. Completely different type of book for Shelly Laurenston, has a little bit of mythology twists into the story.

Desert Bound by Elizabeth Hunter

Desert Bound by Elizabeth Hunter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Teodora “Ted Vasquez wants nothing to do with Alex McCann when he returns to Cambio Springs. She had put her heart out there twice only to have it stomped on and Alex leaving. Alex though is back for good and his intention was never to hurt Ted, but he inevitably did. Alex is the future alpha and he wants Ted by his side. There is opposition as Ted is a cat and Alex a wolve, but she is his sole mate. As a murder happens, Alex and Ted have to work together to figure out who did it.

I thought the way that Alex is introduced back into Ted’s life was very realistic, she is pissed and makes no effort to want to work things out. Alex is persistent though and eventually Ted is willing to trust him. I thought the mystery aspect of the story was intriguing, a lot of characters and what looks like more series in the future.

Her Boss The Alpha by K.S. Martin

Her Boss The Alpha by K.S. Martin

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lauren doesn’t understand why Jake frequently stares at her, he is her boss but from what Lauren can tell she is one of the best workers he has. Jake knew the minute he caught sight of Lauren that she was his mate, he has been waiting a year to make a move but she always seemed unreachable. Jake gets his chance though and tries to go slowly with earning Lauren’s trust, but as a shifter you have to be constantly on guard and very few know of their existence.

I liked the idea of this story, but it felt like it was missing something. Both characters are likeable and it definitely has sizzle factor, I think I would have liked t get to know each character a bit more.

Blind Date With A Bear by Marie Mason

Blind Date With A Bear by Marie Mason

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Quinn Blackwood is doing his sister a favor by showing up on the blind date she arranged. In and out is his plan, until he smells his mate. When Quinn finds out that his blind date is actually his mate he is elated. The night is going smoothly until he is called away on business and although Quinn thought he made it clear that she was his mate, Paige Matthews thinks he is looking for a one night stand.

This was fun fluff, but I felt like there was some stuff missing in the overall story. Quinn was pure alpha, but very full of himself. Likeable but purely macho male. I liked Paige, she is a bit insecure but grows into herself. Would check out more in this series.
