“This is Book 12 in the author's "Heart of the Wolf" series. I loved this book! I have been looking forward to Anna & Bjornolf's book since reading about their first meeting in "A SEAL In Wolf's Clothing". I loved the idea of a romance between these two because they are so evenly matched. Bjornolf has "ghosted" various paramilitary teams and field operations. Like Bjornolf, Anna is a highly skilled operative. There were definitley sparks back when they first met. They meet up again when, at the opening of the book, Bjornolf is found to be "ghosting" a team that Anna is on down in the Amazon jungle. Her team, led by fellow wolf shifter Hunter Greymere, is on a mission to recover a kidnapped family. I was happy that this book revisited the characters from "To Tempt the Wolf" because they were some of my favorite from the series. It's while on this mission that Hunter tells Bjornolf of another mission that he would like both he and Anna to be directly involved in. Hunter got word that the scent of some dead wolf bodies turned up at a Christmas tree farm. He wants Anna & Bjornolf to go undercover posing as newlyweds (as well as aunt and uncle to the teen werewolf who discovered the scent) to investigate. Bjornolf is familiar with Nathan because he had previously brought back the teen after he ran away. Anna is hesitant about handling a teenager underfoot. Her doubts prove to be groundless. Both teens in this story, Nathan & Jessica both come to care and respect Anna. She also surprises herself by how she's able to relate to their situations, drawing on her pat experiences. She soon comes to care for them both as well. The interaction between the three of them was very sweet at times. Besides the sinister things going on at the Christmas tree farm, Bjornolf makes it his personal mission to discover why Christmas leaves Anna cold. Several things make this a satisfying paranormal romance: the mystery, humor, the characters, and the sexy love story. The mystery kept me interested and the resolution made sense. I look forward to the next book in the series! I also look forward to revisting the characters in this pack again in a future book. I'm hoping for Rourke to get his own book.”

“This is Book 2 in this author's "Heart of the Jaguar" series. This book is a good example of how you can have a great paranormal romance full of sexy, strong Alpha-males without having them be jerks. The main male characters in this story are paramilitary jaguar shifters but they never use their physical strength to manipulate the female characters. They appreciate that strong women are just a fact of life and often work side by side battling the bad guys in some very physical situations. Wade (hero) and Maya (heroine) are both jaguar shifters. They know of each other from the events of the previous book, but come face-to-face for the first time in this book. It is attraction at first sight. Wade had been under the mistaken impression that Maya and Kat were both Connor Anderson's mates. In reality, as Wade quickly found out in this book, Maya is Connor's sister & only Kat is Connor's mate. Sibling relationships seem to be a focus in this book - Maya and Connor, Wade and David, among others. The importance of family is looked at in this story in addition to the action & suspense. Wade is looking for some permanence and a mate. Maya is looking for some fun and love but is hesitant and very cautious about jumping into a commitment because of the relationship between her mother and father. In addition to seducing her physically, Wade tries to lure Maya into believing in "forever". The main characters who made up the "good guys" interacted in a fun way. The romance was sexy and the respect and caring shown by Wade and Maya for each other was sweet and nice to see. Again, I loved how strong the female characters were & how they weren't afraid to play an active role in the action involved with trying to nab the bad guys. I liked meeting the new characters introduced in this book and look forward to the next book in this series and other books by this author. ”

“I loved this book! I usually enjoy books with a scarred hero (whether mental or physical). I find it interesting to read about the character’s struggles as well as personal victories. Physical therapist Alana McClintock first meets rodeo star Trent Anderson when he arrives at New Horizons Ranch to recuperate after receiving an injury that left him paralyzed from mid-thigh downward. When first arriving, Trent is stubborn, grouchy, and a little bitter about his situation. However, he is in good hands with Alana. She finds him exasperating at first as well as very attractive – much to her dismay. I loved the gradual building of a friendship and romance. I thought all the characters had depth and were genuine. For me, this was the right blend of good story, characters, sweet moments, and sexiness. I liked that Trent and Alana were able to bond over both having lost a loved one and experiencing survivor’s guilt. I found the ending satisfying. I very much look forward to the next book, which I believe comes out in November, involving two characters from this story. ”

“This was a very sexy tale of love and longing. Rhys and Max Dalton are twins and superstar magicians. Melina Parker is a professor and entomologist. Melina and the Dalton twins grew up together and remained friends throughout the years. During those early years Melina fell for Rhys and he likewise fell for her. The problem is that they never let each other know how they felt. For her part, Melina felt geeky, awkward, and way out of their league. At the opening of the story she has very low sexual self-confidence due to some jerk ex-boyfriends. After talking with her girlfriends, she decides to ask Max for some sexual tutoring so she can figure out how to be a better lover and attract a mate. He reluctantly agrees. She trusts Max and her heart isn't in danger from him like it would be with Rhys. However....both Rhys and Melina never imagine how Max plans to play cupid. The two soon wind up in each other's arms and things continue to heat up from there. I enjoyed this romance and liked the fact that Rhys had also secretly had a crush on Melina like she did on him. I was satisfied with how things ended up. I look forward to stories about Melina's friends.”

“Betsy Harris has worked for her sexy lawyer boss Jace Macnamara for years. She has been secretly in love with him for just about the entire time. One day, Jace’s grandfather dies and in his will it stipulates that Jace can only keep his childhood home if he is married. Jace feels incredibly betrayed by his grandfather and can’t think of any way to fix things until he considers his trusty friend & employee, Betsy. He is aware that Betsy has (in his mind) a little crush on him and he knows it is a lot to ask but he asks if she would be willing to marry him right away and live with him for 6 months to help him out. He believes she needs a little financial help so he offers her cash as an incentive. Betsy does need some extra cash, but she wants to keep Jace in the dark about why she needs it. She needs the money for her mother’s care facility. Betsy’s mother is a little loopy. On a bad day she is like the mom from “Carrie”, but on a good day she is nice but with a pinch of difficult thrown in. IT didn’t help her mother’s state of mind that Betsy was conceived through rape. Due to Betsy’s background, she has always been a little timid around men in general and hasn’t had a lot of relationship experience. In this book the two friends and co-workers get to know each other on a more emotionally intimate level and dance around an attraction – an attraction that is new on Jace’s part. The thing that is hampering their growing relationship is Betsy’s secrecy regarding her mother. Jace feels that she’s keeping something from him but doesn’t know what. He wishes she would trust him more. Betsy just doesn’t want to be known as the girl with tons of baggage and doesn’t want anybody, especially Jace, look at her with pity. This was a sweet romance about the importance of trust. I liked the contrast between Jace’s feeling like he can open up to Betsy about personal things that he doesn’t usually with other people, and Betsy’s feeling as though she has to clam up. There were a lot of sweet scenes between the two & I found the end satisfying.”
