Review - Reckless Beginnings by Many authors (99 cents on Amazon!!)

Reckless Beginnings: A Reckless Romance Collection (Reckless Desires) - Anna Lowe, Jacqueline Sweet, J.K. Harper, Elianne Adams, Olivia Arran, Holley Trent

I have only read Dazzled at this time, but I have bought every book in this set!!

 

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!
*** Received the excerpt, and because I loved what I read so far, I bought the book

 

This is the first book in the Dragon Mates series and part of the Reckless Desires set which is a multi-author set. It is around 120 or so pages long, and it is for adults only due to the steamy scenes.

 

I loved this book and couldn’t put it down. I haven’t found anything written my J.K. Harper that I haven’t enjoyed. This is one of my favorites. I love Lacey’s determination and dedication to her work. Sebastian was burned and now thinks all women are like the one who burned him. This shifter world is unique, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

 

I highly recommend this book to any shifter lover especially if you are partial to fire breathing dragons! I can’t wait to see what J.K. fires up next!

Review - The Devil in Disguise by Cynthia Eden (Bad Things #1)

The Devil In Disguise (Bad Things Book 1) - Cynthia Eden

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I bought this September 9th

 

The cover is pretty amazing!  I like it!!

 

This is the first book in the series, and also the first book by Cynthia Eden that I’ve read even though I own 10 of so of her books already.  This is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.

 

This book had me from the start.  I was compelled to read it and not put it down.  I will definitely be reading more of Cynthia’s work.  She weaves a fantastic story that pulls you into the story.  I love when a story does that.  Mina and Luke were both people who should not be stereotyped.  People are not always good or always evil though are sure people can be one or the other most of time.  I definitely don’t want to give any of the story away though.

 

If you love paranormal romance and an assortment of paranormals, then I think you do not want to pass up this book!  Fantastic read!!  Can’t wait to read the next book!

Review - Traitor by Nicole Conway (Dragonrider Chronicles #3)

Traitor (The Dragonrider Chronicles) - Nicole Conway

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***Received the ebook for an honest review

 

The cover is pretty cool!  Her eyes and hair are beautiful!!

 

This is the 3rd book in the series.  It is a young adult fantasy series with elves and dragons.  I highly recommend reading the whole series in order.

 

This book was just as awesome as the rest of the series.  Jae is definitely an awesome hero with tons of courage, but sometimes he is naïve.  There were definitely plenty of surprises and times I was yelling “no” when things happened I didn’t want to.  Nicole has a way of making the story come alive.  I was so gripped in the story when it ended I was dumbfounded and not expecting it so soon.  It definitely leaves you hanging and wanting for the next book.

 

I highly recommend this adventure to any adventurous soul who loves dragons, elves, mysterious creatures, and surprises all over the place.  I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Review - Psychic Lies by Sara Daniel (Wiccan Haus #5)

Psychic Lies (The Wiccan Haus) - Sara Daniel

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***Received a copy of the ebook for an honest review

 

The cover is new, and I definitely think it is new and improved!

 

This is the 5th book in the multi-author series!  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.  This is the 2nd book I’ve read by Sara Daniel and her 2nd book in this series.

 

Most of the book Fiona is a bit of an enigma until all her secrets are revealed.  I think Armando was a bit of a jerk in most of the book, but he didn’t even know he was.  I definitely like Fiona and the Wiccan Haus regulars, and Armando got better when he remembered to be human.  Plenty of excited to keep you entertained as you read!

 

I recommend this series to paranormal fans who like an assortment of paranormals like psychics, mermaids, shifters, and other magical beings.

Review - Wolf on the Road by Lynn Red (Jamesburg Shifters #9)

Wolf on the Road (BBW Alpha Werewolf Paranormal Romance) (The Jamesburg Shifters Book 9) - Lynn Red

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!

***Received the ebook for an honest review

 

The cover is awesome having both beasts on the cover!  Love it!

 

This is the 9th book in the Jamesburg Shifters series.  It is about 115 pages long, and it is for adults only.  While it is not mandatory to read the series in order, I think you will definitely enjoy the story better if you know the history with Petunia and Jamesburg.

 

I learned things that I didn’t even know were possible in the world of Jamesburg prior to this book.  This is definitely a must read.  Mali and Jake are great characters, and I especially love Mali’s spunky personality.  Jake earned a special place in my heart taking care of Mali.  They definitely had an adventure that you don’t want to miss out on.  And just wait until Jake and Erik are together….funny!!! 

 

As always Lynn Red has quirky characters that are like real people and a funny sense of humor that always entertains.  I always enjoy Lynn’s work!

 

I recommend this book and series to any shifter fan who like quirky characters especially if you already love Lynn’s work!

Review - Mirror Image Seduction by Tamsin Baker & Khloe Wren (Feline Shifters of Down Under #1)

Mirror Image Seduction (Feline Shifters of Down Under Book 1) - Tamsin Baker, Khloe Wren

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***Received a copy of the ebook for an honest review

 

The cover awesome especially with the beautiful cheetah on the cover!

 

This is the first book in the series and my first time reading a book by either of these authors, and I love it!  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.  It is about 180 pages long.  Something you may want to know is that this is a ménage world with 2 men and woman to complete the trio.  The men are not together; they are just both mated to the same woman.  I am not sure if this is for every trio, but it is for this book.

 

I started reading this book last night, and I couldn’t stop reading it until I was done which was at 3 or 4 in the morning.  I really loved all the characters that were introduced except Lacey’s ex who is a jerk and needs to be pummeled.  This is a new world that I think is unique especially being set in Australia which I find awesome!  There was plenty going on that I wanted to know what happened next which is why I went to bed late.  I connected with Lacey, and I loved how Ryan and Dylan worked so well together.  I love their senses of humor and personalities too.  Their family is definitely awesome too, and it will be interesting to see what comes next in the series for them.

 

I definitely like this duo of authors and will be checking out more of their work in the future!  I highly recommend this book to all my shifter friends who are okay with a trio of mates.

Review - Firefighter Pegasus by Zoe Chant (Fire & Rescue Shifters #2)

Firefighter Pegasus: BBW Pegasus Shifter Paranormal Romance (Fire & Rescue Shifters Book 2) - Zoe Chant

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I bought this on September 5th

 

This cover is what attracted me to the series!!  I love Pegasi and Unicorns!!

 

This is the 2nd book in the series.  I highly recommend reading the whole series!  It is too good to miss either book.  It is still for adults only due to the steamy content.  This one is longer than the first book, but still under 150 pages.  It went fast when I was reading it.

 

This book was hysterical!  Chase kept cracking me up!  I really love this Pegasus!  Connie is definitely a strong woman with what she must put up with from her dad and Chase.  There is a ton of action in this book as well as intrigue, but I don’t want to give anything away!  I really love this world that Zoe Chant has created, and I hope there is more soon because I have my suspicions about Hugh and want to see if I’m right!!

 

Zoe Chant is fast becoming an author to be added to my favorites list :)  I can’t wait to see what she cooks up next and get through the pile of her books I already own!

 

I highly recommend this series to all the shifter lovers out there who are into mythical creatures!!

Review - Firefighter Dragon by Zoe Chant (Fire & Rescue Shifters #1)

Firefighter Dragon: BBW Dragon Shifter Paranormal Romance (Fire & Rescue Shifters Book 1) - Zoe Chant

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I bought this on September 5th

 

The cover is nice and fiery!  Definitely a great cover!  This is not the cover than attracted me to the book though.  I saw the 2nd book in the series and I tend to collect everything Pegasus and Unicorn, so I had to buy the series :)

 

This is the first book in the series and is about 100 pages long.  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.

 

Okay, this is a quick read, and I loved it!  There is adventure and drama all wrapped up in this great read.  I don’t want to give anything away because I feel the blurb is plenty to intrigue you.  Both Virginia and Dai are my kind of characters who stick to their morals and are protective and loyal.  The fire department and shifters are a unique group that you will not want to miss reading about!

 

I highly recommend this book for a quick awesome fire breathing dragon-tastic read!!

Review - Summit of the Wolf by Tera Shanley (Silver Wolf Clan #4)

Summit of the Wolf (Silver Wolf Clan Book 4) - Tera Shanley

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***Received the ebook for an honest review, but I bought this book and the rest of the series!

 

The cover is another beautiful one, but her eyes aren’t big enough to be a focus which is sad!  Amazing hair though!

 

This is the 4th book in the series.  Each book is around 100 pages.  It is for adults only due to the violence and steamy scenes.  I highly recommend reading them in order because it matters!

 

Okay, it just keeps getting better and better!  I loved this one too!  I love how strong and fierce Morgan is becoming, and Grey is pretty amazing taking care of his pack and protecting them.  Alexis makes another appearance showing her usually colors and bitterness.  The rest of the packs are archaic and even the old ones made me want to slap them!  How can a group be so moronic!  I think Grey, Morgan, and Dean handled the Summit fabulously!  Lots of surprises and action contained in these pages!  The only sad part is now I have to wait for more because it isn’t written yet!  I’m not a very patient person…sigh!

 

I highly recommend the whole series to any of my werewolf lovin’ friends out there!  Time to find something new to read :)

Review - Brand of the Pack by Tera Shanley (Silver Wolf Clan #3)

Brand of the Pack (Silver Wolf Clan) - Tera Shanley

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I bought this book last year!

 

The cover is beautiful :) Love those purple eyes!!

 

This is the 3rd book in the series and my favorite so far!  I highly recommend reading them in order because it is sequential, and you will not understand references without having read them all.  It is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.

 

Grey is definitely awesome!  I just love his character.  Morgan has definitely become stronger and redeemed herself from the last book.  Grey is in quite a few fights as usual.  Morgan is recovering.  I have some questions about Dragon, so I can’t wait to see what happens next.

 

I recommend this series to all werewolf fans who want to read about unique world with twists of its own!  I’m off to read book 4!

Review - Black Wolf's Revenge by Tera Shanley (Silver Wolf Clan #2)

Black Wolf's Revenge - Tera Shanley

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***I bought this book last year!

 

The cover is awesome!

 

This is the 2nd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the violence and steamy scenes.  This book is about 100 pages long.  I definitely recommend reading the books in order, so you know what is going on.

 

Okay, I definitely enjoyed the book, but I really wanted to slap Morgan a lot.  She made a lot of mistakes, but she did get her act together in the end.  I like Grey!  He is loyal, but definitely confused.  He is fiercely protective, and I like that!  There is lots going on, and this book will definitely keep your attention.

 

I recommend this series to wolf lovers who want something a bit different from the norm because purple eyes are definitely unique :)  I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Review - The Bear Prince by Sable Sylvan (Seattle's Billionaire Bears #3)

The Bear Prince: A BBW Bear Shifter Billionaire Paranormal Romance Novella (Seattle's Billionaire Bears Book 3) - Sable Sylvan

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***Received a copy of the ebook for an honest review

 

The cover is spot on!  Love it!!!

 

This is the 3rd book in this spin off series.  While it is not required to read the books in order, I think you would enjoy the journey much better if you did read them in order.  You will know who the other characters are that are brought up.  This is for adults only due to the steamy scenes it contains.

 

I always know that I will enjoy the books about the bears of Port Jameson.  This was another great read.  It is about Crystal and Damien.  Crystal is naïve where shifters are concerned, and it definitely shows.  I think I related more to Damien because I understood where he was coming from and why he made the decisions he did.  In the end all worked out, it was another happily ever after that made me happy to read it.  I really like Niles too!

 

I recommend this book to all the bear shifter fans out there especially if you already love Sable’s work!!!

Review - Dark Side of the Moon by Catherine Vale (BBW Paranormal Were-Bear Shifter Sci-Fi Romance)

Dark Side Of The Moon (BBW Paranormal Were-Bear Shifter Sci-Fi Romance) - Catherine Vale

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!! ***Received a copy of the book for an honest review and I have already ordered my copy The cover is a work of art! I really like it though it would have been cooler to see his bear :) This is a standalone book. It is for adults only due to the steamy content. I’m hoping that there will be more about Veronica (Max) and Taso in the future. Max is definitely a spirited and feisty girl. I loved her from her first punch! I wasn’t sure what to think of Taso in the beginning. He doesn’t abandon his planet though as the blurb suggests; he just looks to Earth for solutions. I kind of thought he was sort of a jerk in the beginning, but he definitely grew on me as Max accepted him and her new life. I always know I will love the adventure that Catherine Vale takes me on! They are always unique, and she amazes me with her creativity every time. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with in her next shifter book, but I do hope I see more of this world in the future. I highly recommend this unique sci-fi shifter book to all of the shifter readers out there especially if you already love Catherine’s work!

Review - Sassy and a Little Bad-Assy by Jessie Lane (Sassy Ever After Kindle World)

Sassy Ever After: Sassy and a little Bad-Assy (Kindle Worlds Novella) - Jessie Lane

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***Received a copy of the ebook for an honest review

 

The cover is pretty cool!

 

This is a book that is part of the Sassy Ever After Kindle World.  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.

 

I really loved this book and couldn’t put it down.  I related to Nikki a lot.  I love her fierce spirit and that is there for her family no matter how much they drive her crazy.  Cruz definitely has some emotional baggage, but he cannot stay away from Nikki.  Nikki’s devious brothers and sister are hilarious.  This book definitely had me from the phrase “A Viking walks into a bar…”

 

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good shifter book especially if you understand having a relative suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Review - Untamed Hearts by Catherine Vale (Untamable #1)

Untamed Hearts (BBW Biker Werewolf Romance) - Catherine Vale

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

***Bought this book back in 2015

 

The cover is mysterious, and I wish it was sporting a beautiful wolf.  I love when both are on the cover.

 

This is the first in a series, but I’m not sure if it is just two books or more than that as I write this.  It is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.

 

This book has a little of everything.  It has mysteries about both Claire and Gunner’s pasts, a crazy ex, and trouble galore.  It is a whirl wind adventure that has more to come.  It doesn’t end in a cliffhanger, but it does leave you wanting more.  I don’t want to give anything away because it is your adventure to read.  I will definitely be acquiring book 2 in the future because I want to know if love will get them through everything.

 

I recommend this book to lovers of motorcycle riding werewolves.

Review - The Fox and Her Bear by Lynn Red (Mating Call Dating Agency #2)

The Fox and Her Bear (Alpha Werebear Shapeshifter Romantic Comedy) (Mating Call Dating Agency Book 2) - Lynn Red

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!

***Received the ebook for an honest review

 

The cover is another work of art!  My favorite kind of cover too because it has both beasties on the cover :)

 

This is the 2nd book in the series.  It is for adults only due to the steamy content.  Reading in order is not required, but you will definitely want to read them all!  Eve and Dora make me chuckle all the time!

 

Angie is a fox, and Dawson is a bear.  Their story is another one where you are just happy to read it.  I guess I think there is enough negativity out in the world, so stories like these make me smile and wish everyone out in the world was more interested in making each other happy instead of what happens.

 

Lynn Red’s work is always full of quirky people that seem real because they are not perfect.  Her sense of humor always has me laughing.  I know when I’m reading one of her books that I will enjoy it.

 

I recommend this series to all the PNR and shifter reading friends I have out there!
