The story Elysa Hendricks crafts in Star Raiders has all the action of a good space opera and all the romance of a good straight romance story. I will admit I skimmed over the sex scenes, as I wanted to get back to the main story. I enjoyed the book quite a bit. If you like stories set on other worlds and space ships with a sprinkling of aliens then this is your story. Personally I would love to have seen the character of Silky expanded on and more focus on shipboard life. There is

When he’s caught in a trap by a gang of were-hunters, he reluctantly depends on human Maura first to free him, and then watch over him as he heals.

Hot, hilarious and rocking sums up this short story by Celia Kyle. This is one of the few times when I would have been happy whether the love interests ended up together or not because this was such a fun read. Kyle's depiction of "Uncle Satan" as a much-maligned older man trying to regain some respect was possibly the best, though I'd argue Samael's...enthusiasm for his job was equally amusing.

Non-Fiction is not usually a genre I look towards when I search for books to read but when I saw the title of this book, it drew me in and didn’t let go.
I've always found the people who volunteer in our community to be in their own category of hero's. I've also pondered what life is like for those who volunteer their time and energy for community work by working with the police department. The hours they spend standing amazes me because it takes a lot of stamina to do so.

I had a hard time getting into this story. I have not read the first book in Dakota Rebel's Lost and Found Series and I don't know if that was a contributing factor for my lack of interest, but I felt like the story was a little too far fetched for my taste.
I also found that I was more interested in the secondary characters in this story than the main characters. The main characters lacked substance and the male leads, Toby and Gabe, were too understanding which made the story a little unrealistic to me.

Hidden Heart was originally a part of an anthology so it is a brief read. Kate Steele brings readers a different aspect in shifter romance by using a werebear as opposed to the ever popular lion or wolf shifters. The writing style was good but the plot was thin. I enjoyed watching Rafe and Lindy fall in love but wish there had been more of a story to tie in with it. Rafe's fear of loving and having children was easily resolved and didn’t leave much after that for the story to c

House of Dark Shadows is the first book in the Dreamhouse Kings series. I enjoyed the imagery the author uses and the trueness to the emotions of the characters. However, I do think that as far as a young adult novel goes it may be a bit to much. Some of the themes that are present in this book may be a bit scary for a younger young adult reader to handle, older to late teens it may be fine for but still scary. I thought as an adult that this book was pretty scary and I have read normal adult horror authors

This is a BDSM novella focusing on the Dom and Sub lifestyle. It read like a diary or journal of two people and their relationship as opposed to a romance. In fact, I would not categorize it as a romance. I have read a couple of BDSM novels and am a huge fan of Joey W Hill.

Regardless that Isak is the obvious choice to rule, he needs to get back to the capital city of Tirah to be officially recognized. This is

But if her father insists on parading her before one more English lord who looks askance at her flame-colored hair, she'll simply scream!

Callie Jordan is a zoo worker with big aspirations of working with the big cats. She wants to be around the jaguars and tigers instead of the bunnies and goats that she works with now. But she might end up a lot closer than she thought! Waking up next a random guy she thought she saw turn into a jaguar the previous night, Callie totally freaks out understandably.

This is the second book in the Astropolis series and I would strongly recommend starting with the first book before reading this one.
It is an epic soap opera military science fiction story that has a lot of twists. A lot happens in a short time. It is very action packed and delves into deep themes dealing with humanity, politics, and morality. While there were many things to enjoy in this book, I had some problems with it. I struggled with this book as I found the writing to be a bit too “flowery&rd

Seduced by a Rogue is Amanda Scott’s second book in a trilogy of books that take place in the fourteenth century Scotland. Based on true events and real characters, the author has spun a historically based romance that is easy to believe really could have occurred.
Lady Mairi Dunwythie is the current heiress to her father’s estates unless her father and her stepmother are able to produce a male heir. Her father has been teaching her the requirements of being a baroness in case a male

Tielle St. Clare's latest release, Taking Shape, is a fascinating short paranormal romance that will reach out and grab readers right from the very beginning.
As a shapeshifter, Nick Conner can turn into anything or anyone he touches. Along with his brothers and sister, he uses this unique gift for private investigations. But something about their newest case doesn’t sit right. Their client isn’t being honest and their target, Tally, seems way too sweet to be a crook. Or maybe it’s just t

The plot is the basic alien race loses all it's women and needs human women to breed with. Zorroc: Feline Predators of Ganz jumped around a lot and there seemed to be considerable switching of character points of view. In some places I was not sure which character was doing what to whom. There is an awful lot of back-story that had me thinking, "So?" I saw a lot of misused words and the terms galaxy and planet used interchangeably. A lot of science fiction movies and TV sh

The Battle Sylph is the debut novel by L.J. McDonald. This is one of those books that you read expecting one thing and get something else entirely. It is a great blend of fantasy with a tinge of romance. The romance doesn’t overly dominate the book and this is the beginning of a series. The idea of using sylphs as the author does is definitely unique and interesting. Sylphs are like magical manifestations. This title also touches on some issues dealing with the right to enslave another. I am looking f

Wicked Fairy Stepmother is a contemporary young adult novel filled with teenage angst, mystery and intrigue with an added touch of the paranormal. It’s a cross between R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" and the BBC's "The Sarah Jane Adventures". I would highly recommend this novel for parents searching for suitable young adult fiction.
While I normally do not read a large number of Young Adult Fiction, I will admit that "My Fairy Stepmother" was an engaging novel that showc

Wolf’s Valentine is a werewolf paranormal novella filled with conspiracy, danger and romance. While the novel can be read as a standalone piece; small references to past experiences and events will pique one’s curiosity enough to prompt a search for earlier works in the Westervelt series.
The main theme of the novel is based on its title “Valentine’s Day”, yet the holiday for lovers is not the driving force, it is rather a mechanism that has been incorporated into t

Except the Queen by Jane Yolen and Midori Snyder is a book that is considered YA fantasy, but is just as enjoyable for adults. This is one of those books that takes a typical stereotype and twists it. Instead of a human becoming lost in the fairy land, we have two sisters who have exiled themselves into the modern world of humans. The sisters must navigate through a world that is very different from their own and just as dangerous. They are without any of their magic while defeating a danger to both worlds.

Wow. This story puts Violet Glaze squarely on my list of authors to watch for. I'm definitely waiting with bated breath for the next story, and hopefully it will be as amazing as this was.
I really enjoyed the setting. Glaze really brings the world she's describing to life and one can even imagine that you're there, with Miyako, as she moves from the life she was in before the new life in Hotel Butterfly.
To a certain extent I wish that the Hotel itself was a bit better explained and more back

I always find anthologies pretty hard to rate, and this one is no exception. I did enjoy most of the stories, although some much more than the others.
A Hallowed Tale was a fun spin-off from the classic "A Christmas Carol" and I really loved how sweet it was. The sex actually almost felt like it was tacked on and it didn't seem like it made quite that much sense in the context, but it wasn't grating. I would have liked the romantic relationship to have been developed just a bit more with more of

One of my main complaints after reading the first book in the Maldito Series, Emmy's Song, was that character development in general and Emmy and Cale's relationship in particular was rushed and not well fleshed out. In the second book, Emmy's Heart, we get all of that and then some.
For Emmy a lot happened in a relatively short period of time in the first book; a new boy moved to the area, her best friend was killed and vampires turned out to be real. Not only that but she was the cure for the

In this dark fantasy novel, we meet Olivia. She's a vampire, a fallen angel of desire who can't feel any desire of her own. She feels hopeless and damned as she can't ever feel love or be loved. She can only feed on the desire of others who see her as they want, they don't see her. She's sick of it, sick of having to act human and decides to return home to the L'Otel Matillide. An underground hotel where angels and rockstars and demons come to be themselves.
There she meets Dominic O'Shaughnessy. He's a ne
