Ben by Toni Griffin

Ben by Toni Griffin
Series: The Atherton Pack, Book #2
Publisher: Silver Publishing
Genre: GLBT, Paranormal, Erotic Romance, M/M
Length: 130 pages

Summary:

Tommy is coming to terms with abuse endured from his former Alpha, and a newly-found mate. Ben is happy to wait while Tommy heals and accepts their mating. Will threatening e-mails put a roadblock on their way to happiness?

Still suffering from nightmares due to the abuse he endured at the hands of his previous Alpha, Tommy Morgan is trying to come to terms with life and a newly-found mate.

The last thing Benjamin Taylor, Panneath Alpha of Australia, expected to find was his other half, bloody and broken at the hands of another Alpha. Now months later Ben is more than happy just to sit at his mate’s side while he gets his life together again and begins to accept their mating.

Threatening e-mails, though, set to put a hold on their happiness as someone wants revenge for the death of Alpha Kegan Wallis.

Evelise’s Review:

Ben by Toni Griffin was a lovely addition to The Atherton Pack series. As a fan of Ms. Griffin, I looked forward to this story and the continuation of the Atherton pack. As pack alpha, Ben has waited many years to find his mate, but when he is blessed with the man, unpleasant circumstances do not allow Ben to immediately claim him.

Tommy was severely beaten by his old alpha’s pack betas and left for dead, if not for the intervention of his brother Declan, Declan’s mate Liam and Ben. Tommy suffered from traumatic nightmares thus foregoing Ben’s claiming. In the meantime, Tommy was learning the touch of his mate and his trust. Ben, ever-patient, is determined to allow Tommy all the space needed so that when their mating finally occurs, all will fall into place.

Ms. Griffin delivered love and passion in her story, Ben: passion for friends, life and most especially for each other. The ups and downs of an alpha are illustrated as Ben must not only bear the burden of his mate’s terrors, but also of an outsider wanting to do them harm. Ms. Griffin’s characters are always larger than life and Ben and Tommy do not disappoint.

The tough alpha was a push over for his mate, particularly when they find him with child. Ben was a strong, dominant man with a gentle spirit. He was a beacon for Tommy to ground himself and hold fast to his new life as part of a loving pack.

Tommy is portrayed as a gentle spirit, giving and full of life, wanting to touch lives and spread joy. Once he overcame his insecurities, Tommy’s true personality radiated through and lit the pages. His personality complimented the alpha and together they created a whole.

I look forward to the subsequent book in the series as the story ending gave the reader a glimpse of the next mighty pack member to fall.

Whisper by L.A Brookes

Whisper by L.A Brookes
Series: Feral Riders
Publisher: The Ravens Books
Genre: GLBT, Paranormal, Erotic Romance, M/M
Length: 30 pages

Summary:

Parker Steward is a werewolf on the prowl. Although his kind is supposed to mate for life, he and his friends have chosen a different path. Fate doesn’t care about their plans. As his feral pack members begin falling in love and mating with humans, he knows it’s only a matter of time before it’s his turn. Thomas Maverick is everything a man should be—hard-working, smart, and sexy as hell.

Evelise’s Review:

Whisper by LA Brookes was a wonderful addition to the Feral Riders series. Each book leads the reader closer to all the wolves finding their mates; a feat which none of them ever thought possible. Patrick is part of the pack of riders, going through life, raising hell, until one by one the mighty shall fall. While in town, Patrick is attracted to and discovers a local rancher Thomas, is his mate. Soon the two unite and the sex explodes.

Ms. Brookes provides hot, sexy men and steamy sex as Patrick and Thomas come together. What more can a reader want than a studly biker and a drink of water cowboy? Whisper may be short in pages, but it is long on eroticism. What I like about Ms. Brookes style of writing is that her characters are real and have no qualms about who they are. The feral wolves take what they want, yet all display a tenderness that can only be found when they are united with their destined mate. Patrick was exactly that character. His blasé attitude emanated from the pages as did his tough exterior, except when in contact with Thomas. Patrick was absolutely endearing.

As a fan of the series, I look forward to the next book as each wolf finds his mate and adventure.

Shadowflesh by Shawn Martin

Shadowflesh by Shawn Martin
Publisher: Vinspire Publishing
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Length: 385 pages

Summary:

Torn from her home and fighting bouts of suicidal depression, seventeen year old Aileen McCormick lands in the small coastal town of Redcliff, North Carolina. Her first day of school promises to be the worst day of her life when a menacing group of boys targets the new girl. A stiff arm shoves Aileen into the arms of Addison Wake. When he catches her, Aileen knows she will never be the same. Addison’s otherworldly charm and drop-dead gorgeous face leave her breathless, but only for a moment. Grim and painful secrets lurk in his dark soul.

Addison Wake isn’t exactly like other boys. Far from it. He’s dead and has been for 300 years, locked in an ethereal prison by a lethal enchantress named Donelle. When she hungers, she blesses Addison’s tortured spirit with moments of freedom, allowing him to roam the mortal world as Shadowflesh. But that dark blessing comes at a price. He must deliver the souls of five unsuspecting humans to Donelle.

Knowing he’s here only for a short amount of time, Addison refuses to let himself fall in love and break Aileen’s already fractured heart. He pushes her into the arms of another, but destiny throws the two shadowy lovers back together. In the darkness of her room, Addison confesses his love and his deadly secret to Aileen.

When four dead bodies pop up in Redcliff, Aileen asks herself is her love for the mysterious boy unconditional? Is the love worth the risk? And will she be the next victim?

Shandy Jo’s Review:

Shadowflesh was a rather unique book. It’s mystery mixed with romance, but that’s not what makes it unique. I think the paranormal aspect was what made this book stand out.

Aileen was a sad young woman, who’s life wasn’t great. Her dad lost his job, her family was forced to move, her dad used her car fund to rent the U-haul, and the boy she has the hots for is sending really mixed signals. Then again it’s not all bad, two hotties are interested, one being the school football hero and the other a dark brooding loner. Guess which one she picks… come on I dare you here’s a hint the one who doesn’t throw a pigskin. Yes as cliche as it sounds, Aileen picks the boy who’s as sad as she is.

Not only that but she messes with poor Geoff’s feelings in the process. Okay, yeah maybe he is a little pushy but he wasn’t a bad guy. I mean his friends might have been total jerks, but Geoff wasn’t that bad. Addison bugged me, his flipping bugged the heck out of me. I love you, but now I’m going to be a total jerk and push you away for your own good only to do something lovable so that the circle never ends.

I figured out the killer as soon as he appeared. It was so easy to spot that a blind monkey could have figured it out. The thing is where the main characters lacked, the secondary characters were interesting. I loved Grams. She was quirky, funny, and a little ray of sunshine. I have to admit the plot was engaging, picking up the slack of the characters. But it was the up and down romance pair with seeing Aileen navigate the everyday that really drew me in. Yes I am aware I contradicted myself, because while the romance aspect did bug me it also fascinated me. The ending was a bit helter skelter, but hey it worked for the book. Over all a decent read.

Black Dog by LM Somerton

Black Dog by LM Somerton
Publisher: Total-E-Bound
Genre: GLBT, BDSM, Paranormal, Erotic Romance, M/M
Length: 52 pages

Summary:

Can a ghostly hound tell the difference between love and fear? Will man’s best friend save the day?

Garrick and Tristan thought they were done with hauntings when they rid themselves of the evil ghost of Gabriel Blackthorne. But it seems that their connection to the supernatural runs deeper when howls in the night and glimpses of glowing red eyes gradually manifest into sightings of a mysterious black dog.

The ghostly hound seems to be protecting Tristan, but from what?

A group of friends visiting for the weekend provide a welcome distraction, but one of them would like to be more than friends with Garrick. Frankie sees Tristan as nothing more than a temporary inconvenience and does everything in his power to tempt Garrick away.

Rejected by Garrick, Frankie goes to extreme lengths to get his attention, using Tristan as his pawn in a very disturbing game.
How do you demonstrate the difference between love and fear when bondage and submission are parts of the equation? Will the Black Dog fulfil its role as protector or will Tristan pay the ultimate price for love?

Reader Advisory: This book contains an established MM D/s relationship, with plenty of hot kinkiness. Outside of this dynamic, the story also features non-consensual kidnap and physical violence.

Samhain Queene’s Review:

Black Dog was a great sequel to The Portrait by LM Somerton.

This time Tristan is the one being haunted, but the ghostly dog is trying to protect not control. The more Tristan and Garrrick spend time figuring out who or what the dog represents, the closer they become and the more insecure Tristan becomes. A weekend visit by some of Garrick’s friends sends things even more over the edge for the couple. Frankie, Garrick’s friend, wants to be more than friends. And he does his best to come between the couple.

I loved the ups and downs that happened even more in Black Dog by Ms. Somerton. The growth of the characters is handled remarkably well. Loved how the two books tied together.

Compromises for His Moose by Charlie Richards

Compromises for His Moose by Charlie Richards
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Genre: Erotic, Paranormal Romance, GLBT, M/M
Length: 97 pages

Summary:

When Adam Kingston decides to enjoy a cat nap in tiger form, he never thought he’d be woken by the cries of young moose shifters, nor did he expect to need to save them from a douchy wolf shifter and his buddies. The day takes a turn for the better when he’s pleasantly surprised to discover the moose’s brother, Noah Oleander, is his mate. Except Noah is in the closet, is the legal guardian for his two siblings, and is on the run for attacking his alpha’s son. Can Adam get Noah to stick around long enough to find a way to help him? Or, will Noah decide it’s easier to grab his siblings and keep on running?

Evelise’s Review:

Compromises for His Moose is a charming tale of love and compromise when lives are intertwined and responsibilities are needed. Adam Kingston is part of Kontra’s Pack and meets moose shifter, Noah Oleander, when he rescues Noah’s younger siblings. Adam’s tiger recognizes that Noah is his mate and immediately is drawn to the young man.

Noah not only brings his siblings into the fold, but also a full bag of trouble that Adam and his pack must help rectify. Ms. Richards delivers a short, sweet story that continues the exploits of Kontra’s Menagerie. I appreciate that although she continues each story with a different character, the other shifters and mates are included in the new book.

Noah was sensitive and sensible as his main goal in life was to tend for his younger siblings. Ms. Richards conveyed stoicism and trust in her portrayal of Noah, thus making him an endearing character.  Adam delivered love and conviction as he immediately recognized the importance of Noah’s relationship with his brother and sister and places their happiness and safety above all. Noah and Adam were able to compromise a position where mutual satisfaction was attained for all.

Compromises for His Moose is an enjoyable addition to the series; a series that contains sensitive characters and wonderful writing. It is easy to see that Ms. Richards is fully vested in their stories.

Freeing Demitri’s Wolf by Charlie Richards

Freeing Demitri’s Wolf by Charlie Richards
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Genre: Erotic, Paranormal Romance, M/M, GLBT, BDSM
Length: 112 pages

Summary:

Demitri Vinetti knows his parents believe his claim that he’s gay is an act of rebellion. But when Demitri scents Kiernan Wabinaw at the diner where he works and the human keeps coming back again and again, he’s certain he’s found his mate, a male mate, proving Fate’s on his side. Getting advice from friends, Demitri digs deep for courage and asks Kiernan on a date.

Kiernan is shocked and flattered that such a handsome young man would take an interest in him, especially since his forty-fifth birthday is just around the corner. He’s been fantasizing about Demitri since first spotting him at the diner a couple of weeks ago, and he’s happy to take him up on his offer.

When Kiernan learns that Demitri’s parents beat him for going on a date with him, he discovers protective instincts he’s never known before. But the fact that Demitri’s less than half his age and his parents are abusive is only the first of many shockers. Will Kiernan be able to accept that shifters exist? Or will he chalk Demitri up as too much trouble and run the other way?

Evelise’s Review:

Freeing Demitri’s Wolf is a journey of discovery and exploration as two men; years apart in age ascertain that sometimes a number is simply a digit that has no bearing on what fate as deemed appropriate. Kieran Wabinaw is about to celebrate his forty-fifth birthday when he notices the sexy waiter at the local diner in Stone Ridge. Unbeknownst to Kieran, Demitri is a nineteen year old wolf shifter and Kieran’s fated mate.

Demitri, shy and unsure of himself, approaches the older man with the push of his wolf shifter friend Frankie and asks Kieran on a date. The two men are drawn to each other and hit it off superbly. One thing leads to another but the night ends with Demitri returning to his parents’ house thus being physically abused by his human father.

When Kieran sees Demitri again, he is sullen and reclusive, in pain from the beating and attempting to avoid Kieran for fear of retribution towards the older man. Kieran is immediately infuriated and gathers Demitri into his fold and takes him home.

Ms. Richards delivers striking personality in her characterization of Demitri and Kieran. Demitri is submissive by nature, abused and cautious. He is the perfect mate for the protective and dominant nature of human Kieran. Freeing Demitri’s Wolf was slightly dark and gloomy but needed for the delivery of the story.

Ms. Richards slowly builds the relationship between Kieran and Demitri not based solely on sexual desire but more importantly on trust and friendship. Kieran and Demitri learned to believe in each other and those that truly had their best interests at heart.

Another winner in the series and as always I look forward to the next book.

Lynx in the Blood by S.A Welsh

Lynx in the Blood by S.A Welsh
Series: Pack Valley, Book #2
Publisher: Silver Publishing
Genre: GLBT, Paranormal, Erotic Romance, M/M
Length: 300 pages

Summary:

Jay and Kyle have been mated a week. A happy, love–and lust–filled week but now everything is starting to fall apart. Jay’s abusive step-father, hunters, and kidnapped shifters complicate things. Jay needs to stop his dreams becoming reality.

Jay and Kyle have been mated a week. Jay has the man and family of his dreams, but now things are going wrong. He has to face his abusive step-father, survive attacks by hunters and keep his sanity.

Are his dreams just fiction or is he coming into his destiny, becoming what he was always meant to be? With no time to figure it out, Jay and Kyle have to find and rescue kidnapped shifters and navigate their way through Alpha politics, all while doing damage control for Jay’s uncle.

Can Jay keep control of his own mind or will he let the powers that be take over and cost him the person he loves more than anything?

Samhain Queene’s Review:

Lynx in the Blood by S. A. Welsh is a great sequel to Jaguar Mate. Jay and Kyle’s relationship grows deeper in this book. We learn a lot more about Jay what lives inside him.

I really love Jay. Ms. Welsh makes him a lot stronger. Through the darkness of his dreams and the need to protect Kyle, Jay overcomes his own lack of confidence and learns to trust in himself and Kyle.

We also learn more about Kyle’s family and a major loss they still struggle with. But while rescuing kidnapped shifters and fighting the hunters, they discover something that will have a major impact on what happens next for Jay and Kyle.

I enjoyed Lynx in the Blood almost as much as Jaguar Mate. Can’t wait to see what’s in store next for Jay and Kyle.

The Vampire’s Special Lover by Charlie Richards

The Vampire’s Special Lover by Charlie Richards
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Genre: Erotic, Paranormal Romance, M/M, GLBT
Length: 108 pages

Summary:

Vincent Dobs Marché thought he scented his beloved—his fated one-and-only—at a shifter enforcer challenge months ago. Since rogue shifters killed his mother, bonding with one is the last thing he wants to do. He runs from the knowledge, vowing to live his life alone. Fate has other plans. Slowly, blood from human donors becomes unpalatable to him, until it’s easier to go hungry than deal with the taste. When he hits the verge of collapse, his friends step in, forcing him to return to Stone Ridge and give the shifter a chance.

When Dobs meets his beloved, Franklin Drunger for the first time, the big, sexy, wolf shifter’s blood calls to him. Frankie seems just fine with the idea of Dobs drinking from him, so he gives in to his desire and bites the man. Reb, Frankie’s protective older brother, isn’t nearly as open-minded and attacks Dobs. Acting on instinct, Frankie defends his mate, shifting to wolf form. Dobs panics at the sight of the wolf and insults his beloved. Angry and hurt, Frankie flees.

Can Dobs learn to accept the gift Fate has given him and convince Frankie to give him another chance? Or is it too late for him to earn the love of the special shifter he’s been given?

Evelise’s Review:

The Vampire’s Special Lover by Charlie Richards is book sixteen in the Wolves of Stone Ridge series. I am a big fan of the series and have enjoyed each book, but this one by far is my favorite. In The Vampire’s Special Lover, the main characters were actually introduced to the series in other books as secondary characters, so when I saw they were getting their own story I was thrilled.

Vampire enforcer, Vincent Dobs Marche wants as little as possible to do with shifters due to his upbringing by a shifter-hating father. Unfortunately for Dobs, he has learned that his beloved is a wolf shifter and knowing this, decides to not seek his beloved out and live his days mate-free. Dobs soon takes an unhealthy turn in his life and for his own well-being, his friends persuade him to return to Stone Ridge to find and confront his beloved. Dobs discovers that his beloved is Frankie Drunger of the Stone Ridge pack.

Ms. Richards’ portrayal of Frankie was beautifully written. Frankie is special, as he had a head injury at the age of two and sometimes now needs a little more time to formulate things in his mind. Ms. Richards allowed Frankie’s personality to speak to her as she described his thoughts and loving demeanor, always doing justice to his needs without making him seem simple-minded. Frankie was portrayed as a loving individual and fiercely loyal.

Dobs’ character delivered uncertainty and desire, which definitely suited his personality. Although he was instantly attracted to the wolf shifter, he held fast to his convictions in not immediately mating with Frankie. The author permitted Dobs to deal with his insecurities and issues as the two men ventured to get to know each other better. I appreciated the care and concern Ms. Richards delivered when speaking of Frankie’s special-ness and the sexual desires both men felt towards each other.

The Vampire’s Special Lover shows that there is a place for all in the larger scheme of life and the gentleness of the spirit when someone finds their beloved soul mate.

Heels and Heroes by Tiffany Allee

Heels and Heroes by Tiffany Allee
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Length: 89 pages

Summary:

Brenda is a second-rate superhero, normally more concerned with uniform fashion than defeating bad guys. But when a violent, new super villain declares war against her city, she suddenly finds her specialized power to deafen sound in high demand.

As if facing the destructive force of a new enemy isn’t bad enough, she finds herself paired with the powerful, yet emotionally distant, Justice. Forced to work at the side of the only man who gets her heart pounding, Brenda is not only in danger of losing her life in battle, but also her heart to a man who might not be able to love her back.

Shandy Jo’s Review:

I’m a huge comic geek so Heels and Heroes was right up my alley.

The book is really short but very good, and doesn’t lack due to the length. I was surprised that being about super heroes there wasn’t more action. I have to admit that also disappointed me a bit. I did like Brenda, aka The Silencer. She wasn’t your everyday superhero. She had a mediocre power, which unless certain circumstances came up she was no more useful than a regular person. Luck or possibly no so lucky for her a super villain pops up with a power that needs her special talent. This means she’s paired with Justice. For me Justice flip flopped a bit, he had a soft likable side and a hard can’t let any one inside. At times, he was also a bit arrogant.

The plot was good, a little slow at certain times, but overall kept me interested and engaged. A few things I saw coming, but they were still good twists. Heels and Heroes was a fun quick read.

Mating Moon by Lexi DeHalo

Mating Moon by Lexi DeHalo
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: GLBT, Paranormal, Erotic Romance, M/M
Length: Word Count 50,609

Summary:

Night Stragorri was born to hunt. As heir to the Stragorri bloodline, it’s his sole purpose to kill any paranormal that threatens human life. He is bound by blood to the Hunter code, but he desperately wants a way out. He didn’t imagine in a million years that one fateful visit to a shifter-infested nightclub would bring him face-to-face with the man who would change his destiny.

Akira Landers is a Were-panther with a painful history. Adopted into a pack of werewolves at an early age, he learned to fear Hunters above all others. Working at the pack-run nightclub, things are always eventful, but even he is surprised at the Hunter who enters their domain and more surprised by the attraction he feels for the other man.

Inexplicably drawn together, sparks ignite, but their pasts seek to divide them as they struggle to accept their love in a world where Hunters and Weres are mortal enemies.

Lasha’s Review:

Mating Moon is the first book in the Be-Were series by Lexi DeHalo. Night Stragorri is a Hunter. A Hunter who falls for a were-panther and if he’s found out he’ll be banished from his family.

Akira Landers is a sweet, compassionate man who takes in Night and cares for him after the Hunter becomes tired of his profession. The two grow closer, fall in love and Night has to decide: his family or his new mate?

Mating Moon had an unique twist with traditional enemies falling in love with one another despite many obstacles. I loved the character of Akira, whose purple/blue hair and piercings made him a fun character. Night, was more subdued, but he grew on me. What I didn’t enjoy, although the world building was excellent, was how the pack was run. There were definite dub-con elements in the story as on the night of Akira’s Mating Moon. In this world, the person who catches and claims him wins Akira. It was very Hunger Games-ish and the fact that Akira could be hunted down and raped into mating wasn’t my cup of tea. Nor did I enjoy the whippings or beatings by the Alpha of the pack that seemed normal occurrences in this world.

So, while the writing was good, the plot engaging, my own personal reading tastes made this less of a 5 Diva read. However, other fans of the paranormal genre who do not mind a more violent and somewhat dark-ish story will enjoy Mating Moon, I have no doubt. Recommended for the not faint-of-heart shifter fans.

The 12 Dancing, Zombie-Killing Princesses by Cate Masters

The 12 Dancing, Zombie-Killing Princesses by Cate Masters
Publisher: Self-Published
Genre: Horror, Paranormal
Length: 77 pages

Amazon Kindle Barnes and Noble Nook

Summary:

Meilin’s never believed in fairy tales. Happy ever afters might have happened in the old days – before zombies. But this is 2089, and the zombies beyond City are nothing like the ones your parents warned you about.

When their father promises riches to the one who can rid their city of zombies, the twelve King sisters rush to develop a solution that won’t bankrupt Dad.

The war overseas left Will disillusioned, but fighting zombies at home is a cause he can embrace. Meilin’s another. Tough but sweet, she might make him believe in life again, and maybe even love, if she doesn’t kick his ass first.

When zombies kidnap her family, Meilin must rescue them. But can she and Will save them from the worst fate of all?

Shandy Jo’s Review:

I love fairy tales and zombies, usually not together, but when I saw The 12 Dancing Zombie Killing Princesses I couldn’t help myself.

I’m so glad I didn’t too. Will is this battle harden solider who’s returning home. Meilin is one of twelve adopted daughters. She and her sisters are trying to help their father clear out the zombie population. Now this is without their father’s knowledge. Sassy, smart and tough, Meilin can hold her own against the zombies. I fell for both the main characters because they were perfect for each other, and had great chemistry.

The 12 Dancing Zombie Killing Princesses is a short story and I finished it in just a few hours, but boy is there a lot going on. Lots of action, and romance. The zombies in this book aren’t your run of the mill undead, which Will and Meilin figure out quite fast. The plot sucked me in, moving fast and keeping me entertained as well as on the edge of my seat. Each new development pulled me deeper into the story wanting to know what was going to happen and if they would save Meilin’s family.

Paranormal Sightings: Troodos Mountains, Cyprus by Judy Marriott

Paranormal Sightings: Troodos Mountains, Cyprus by Judy Marriott
Publisher: Whispers Publishing
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Suspense
Length: 28 pages

Summary:

Lois Petrou wants revenge when she discovers her father mauled to death in the Cypriot Troodos mountains. The official verdict is that the Park Ranger was attacked by the animal that he was attempting to release from a large, solid silver, animal trap. Two days later she is interviewed by Inspector Adonis Christou, an American of Cypriot descent, whose brief is to investigate the increase of deaths on the island. Although there is an immediate sexual attraction between them, both have dark secrets: they both know they can never be together.

Shandy Jo’s Review:

Paranormal Sightings: Troodos Mountains, Cyprus by Judy Marriott is a very short and quick read. If it hadn’t been for interruptions I would have had it all read in about an hour. Not only is it short length wise, but the plot was engaging so the story flew by.

My only real complaint was the ending was summarized and tied up in a nice bow. I would have liked to watch the story play out with the characters instead of having Adonis tell us what happened.

I liked the characters, although Lois was a bit timid for my taste. Adonis was an alpha and hot detective. A twofer, in my book. There is instant attraction between Adonis and Lois, yet both fight it because they don’t realize at first that they are alike. This kind of bothered me because usually shifters can sense others of there own kind; however, this was explained later, so it was all good. If you’re in the market for a quick sexy read then check out Paranormal Sightings: Troodos Mountains, Cyprus by Judy Marriott.
