Guardian's Bond
by Rhenna Morgan
Series: Ancient Ink (#1)
Published by: Harlequin Audio
March 12th, 2018
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: Audiobook
Source: Library Loan
Rating: 3 Stars

     Priest Rahandras has lived with the darkness trapped inside himself for years. Betrayed by his own brother and forced to watch his clan's brutal annihilation, the only thing Priest wants more than to escape the curse that haunts him - as both man and beast - is to rebuild.
     Until the mate he's longed for walks into his life with an elder from his past. She's everything he's wished for, and the key to the clan's very survival.
     Kateri Falsen is a woman of logic and facts. While Priest's cat can sense her arousal, telling her they're fated won't be enough. He'll have to show her his love: with his words, with his actions, and with his body.
     Protecting Kateri from the evil trapped inside him is paramount. But when lost clan members are systematically murdered, he'll have to choose between exposing his mate to his black magic, or risking her as the next victim.


     This was a fun quick "read". I listen to this book on one sitting and I really enjoyed it.

     Priest is a decades-old shifter that has been betrayed and he just wants to make things right for the clan. When an old clansmate appears with her grandchildren after the death of their parents and a vision, he will stop at nothing to protect what is his.

     Kateri and her brother never knew much about their inheritance because their dad rejected his quest after all that happened many years before that caused many of the clans to lose their Primos and now they are thrown into this world with no safety net under them to cushion their hard fall.

     I loved the world building and the quest the characters have to go thru to get their companions. I liked writing style and the narrator was good.

     But I still felt like it all happened to quickly and Kateri and her brother accepted everything with minimal to no struggle. Also, the romance was too insta for me. Mind you it doesn't bother me if is insta-love as long as it is well written and you don't even realize that such a short time has passed.

     All in all a good series and I'll definitively pick the next book on this series.

To Have and To Harley

Series: Bikers & Brides (#1)
Published by: Sourcebooks Casablanca

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Format: eARC

Rating: 3.5 Stars

     You may now kiss the biker 
     Bethany Jernigan owes her bestie. Big time. So when wedding planning overburdens the bride-to-be, Bethany steps in to handle the nitty-gritty. But the guy in charge isn't anything like she imagined. He's gruff, tattooed, and 100% male. His staff is even rougher around the edges, and it's not long before she feels as if she's stepped into some kind of crazy alternate reality. 
     Are those...bikers? Arguing about wedding favors? 
     Trey Harding never wanted this to get so out of hand. One little lie somehow snowballed into a world of dresses and flowers and food and holy-hell-he's-in-over-his-head. But it's not like he can confess he's not the wedding planner he's pretending to be--especially now that he's falling for the maid of honor! His charade is becoming a farce, and as engines rev and ribbons fly, Trey's running out of time to figure out how to tell the truth without losing his new family, his crew...or the woman of his dreams.


     I adored this story and the biker characters so much.

     Bethany's best friend is getting married and she just quit her job and while she is looking for a new one her friend enlists her help with the planning of her wedding so she can concentrate on finals. Meanwhile, her "mother" (her BFF's mother and the woman who took her in after the death of her dad) just found her missing son.

     Trey Harding is a biker who was abandoned in the bathroom of a gas station and raised by the foster system. He skirts the law with his gang but not in the way one would think but by trying to have drugs and other "bad" things out of the streets.

     I liked how different from other MC books this story was and I found the premiss of the bikers-turned-wedding-planners to be entertaining and for the most part I enjoyed it but I think the author needed to either make this a RomCom or a touching contemporary story.

     I found myself laughing at the antics of the MC guys one moment and the next Trey or Bethany revealed something about their past that was touching and I didn't know if I should be annoyed or sad. I will be looking for the next book in the series because I am interested to see the HEA of some of the other characters.

Barbarian's Touch
by Ruby Dixon
Series: Ice Planet Barbarians (#7)
Published by: Author
September 11th, 2018
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
Format: Audiobook
Source: Library Loan
Rating: 4 Stars

     When I wake up on the ice planet, I’m scared of everything: this place is cold, silent, and the locals look more like blue devils than aliens. To make matters worse, one of the strangers decides I’m going to be his girlfriend and kidnaps me away from my sister. I’m completely and utterly alone. What’s a girl to do?  
     Well, this girl escapes. 
     Of course, that means I go from frying pan into the fire, and my situation gets even more dangerous. Just when I have no hope left, a new hero appears. Sure, he’s blue, horned, and has a tail. He’s also fierce, protective, makes me purr...and thinks I'm perfect. 
     But is what we have real or just a mating instinct?


     It's been more than a year since I read the last book on this series so I was a little lost at the beginning but I have enjoyed this book as much as I've enjoyed the previous books on this series.

     A couple of books back the aliens that originally kidnapped the girls have come back for them and one of the girls fights back and crashes the ship they are in. About a year has gone by and someone finds part of the ship and realized that there are people in it (or something like that the story goes).

     On this book, we get the rescue of the two girls trapped in this cargo section of the crashed ship. This two are blood sisters; Lila and Maddie. After a few kidnappings on previous books, the tribe's chief has forbidden to take any of the humans without their permission, even when they have resonated.

     Well, one of these men is desperate enough to not listen to the command and it is up to someone else to go rescue the poor girl that is deaf.

     I love how Ruby Dixon surprises me with every book. I mean there are a bunch of girls stuck in a planet with a parasite telling them who they have to mate with, how much can you do with that? It is with a fervent yearning that I start reading these books because Dixon always has a completely new and captivating story for every couple.

     If you don't mind your hero's blue-skinned, horned and with a tail, I recommend this series 1000%.

Willa's Beast
by Ruby Dixon
Series: Icehome (#3)
Published by: Author
October 5th, 2018
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 4 Stars

     Beast. Creature. Monster. 
     Dangerous. 
     All of these things have been said about Gren. 
     Willa doesn’t believe it, though. She knows that monsters can sometimes come in appealing packages. She knows that for all of his snarls and fearsome appearance, he’d never hurt her. 
     And she knows she has to get Gren away from the Icehome camp, because no one will ever see him as a person, not when he attacks all who come close. Not when he’s tied and treated like an animal. 
     She’s going to save him… or fall in love. Maybe both. Willa doesn’t mind that he’s a beast, as long as he’s her beast.


     This is the third book in the Icehome series and it is in the same timeline as the first two books. As Lauren is drifting in the "sea" and Veronica has been kidnapped by her dragon, Willa helps her beast escape.

     This book again takes me back to the beginning of the barbarian books when Georgie met Vektal and they were trying to communicate with each other.

     It was a little bit funny but most of all it was heartwarming and heartbreaking because Gren didn't understand that he wasn't a slave anymore.

     I fell in love with him and I kept praying for this couple to find a way to understand each other even though you know it's obvious that they will end up together.

     I cannot wait to read the next book in this series but first I have to finish the Ice Planet Barbarians series because the couple from the next book come from this community.

The Lion Kings
by Renee George
Published by: Book Boutiques
August 25th, 2015
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Library Loan
Rating: 3 Stars

     For six months, Madeline Granger has been overwhelmed by an almost magnetic pull that has kept her on the road, traveling all over the Midwest and erotically dreaming of two men… her lion kings. When she wakes up in Kansas, just outside the perimeter of a traveling carnival, it miraculously feels like coming home. But after she meets the two men who shouldn’t exist outside her own mind, it’s hard for her to reconcile that her dream lovers are two very real and sexy men, not imaginary. All she knows for certain is she wants them both.  
     Adam Michael’s and his brother Cage, both lion-shifters, not only run Pantheros & Co Carnival, they are the stars. Making a home for his crew of misfits and outcasts was Adam’s dream. Cage was his most desperate rescue, and after a profound loss, Adam worries that Cage’s grief will drive him toward a brutality he can’t come back from.  
     The last thing either lion-shifter expected was Madeline Granger. She might be the answer to Adam’s prayers, in more ways than one, if he can get Cage to look past his pain. But, can Adam and Cage see Madeline as more than a substitute Clary? And can Madeline rescue two Kings drowning in their own sorrow? 
     Maddie might want The Lion Kings to rule her body, but is she strong enough to rule their hearts.


     The Lion Kings follows this woman named Madeline Granger who is a sort of psychic where she sees the past. She has been having dreams about this two guys Adam and Cage and has been restless for about 6 months going from town to town.

     When she gets to a small town in Kansas and near the carnival, this Restless feeling she's been having goes away. And it is then she realized that the men she's been having dreams about are real.

     I really liked the story and the development of the characters and the Mystery of the death of Clary. That last one had me guessing at every turn and still, I wasn't able to figure out who was responsible or why until the very end.

     What I was a little bit skeptical about in this book was the connection between Clary and Madeline. More than once I thought that the brothers we're replacing Clary with Madeline.

     Aside from that, it was a really fast and cute story and if you like Paranormal romance I recommend this one to you.

Veronica's Dragon
by Ruby Dixon
Series Icehome (#2)
Published by: Author
May 23rd, 2018
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 4 Stars

     Resonance. 
     It’s a given on the ice planet, forced upon you by the parasitic symbiont called the ‘khui’. With resonance, a guy and a girl are paired up because they’ll make great babies. It’s a survival mechanism necessary for this sparsely-populated world we’re stranded on… and romantic, in a weird, alien way. 
     Everyone expects resonance to happen when twenty newcomers are dropped onto the frosty world. I doubt anyone expects the gorgeous, golden god named Ashtar to resonate to someone like me, though. He’s fierce. Flirty. Powerful. Disgustingly handsome. 
     I’m… not any of those things. I’m bland. Boring. Clumsy. 
     But resonance seems to think we’d be great together. And Ashtar does, too… 


     What can I say about this book? Well, Ruby Dixon is one of the best (IMO) when writing very alien aliens.

     I loved Ashtar and Veronica so much. I have not read Dixon's Fireblood Dragon series yet so this is my first Dragon from her and I will definitely get my hands on that series asap.

     This story is told paralleled to Lauren's Barbarian story, the first book of the series. From the moment they are rescued from the slavers' ship and before they get their "cooties" Ashtar is attracted to Veronica and he can't wait for the other's to let down their guard so he can steal her away and be free.

     I loved this story and the characters. Veronica is a healer and I was glad to see a new element to these stories (although I haven't yet finished the IPB series so the sa-khui healer might have gotten a story too) and see how the healing is done.

     I was very sad that Ashtar still didn't understand that he was truly free and that he didn't have to run away. That the other barbarians respect resonance and that Veronica just wanted to be with him. I did love how very protective of Veronica and how mad he got when she overtaxed herself. It was just plain adorable.

     Ruby Dixon, in my opinion, is a master at creating "alieny" looking aliens that you can't help but love. I can't wait for the next story and to continue reading the IPB one.

Succubus Dreams
Series: Georgina Kincaid (#3)
by Richelle Mead
Published by: Kensington 
October 1, 2008
Genre: Fantasy
Format: ePub 
Source: Purchased
Rating: 5 stars

     Some days, a girl just can't catch a break...
     …especially when the girl in question is Georgina Kincaid, a shape-shifting succubus who gets her energy from seducing men. First there’s her relationship with gorgeous bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, which is unsatisfying on a number of levels. It’s not just that they can’t have sex in case Georgina inadvertently kills him (generally a turn-off for most guys). Lately, even spending time together is a challenge. Seth's obsessed with finishing his latest novel, and Georgina's under demonic orders to mentor the new (and surprisingly inept) succubus on the block.
     Then there are the dreams. Someone, or something, is preying on Georgina at night, draining her energy, and supplying eerie visions of her future. Georgina seeks answers from Dante, a dream interpreter with ties to the underworld, but his flirtatious charm only leaves her more confused—especially as the situation with Seth reaches crisis point. Now Georgina faces a double challenge—rein in her out-of-control love life, and go toe-to-toe with an enemy capable of wreaking serious havoc among mankind. Otherwise, Georgina, and the entire mortal world, may never sleep easy again…


     I was on vacation for the last two weeks. For those who are wondering I went back to my country Puerto Rico to see family and spend some time taking a sunbath because I really need it. Ok, ok less chitchat and more review. I like to re-read books and I will get entertain for a long time. Raise your hand if you are of those that get bored on the middle of the flight and doesn’t have anything else to do but read -my hand its up- like a good learner I learn from my past mistakes. Please don’t mentioned the last sentence to my hubby, because he will said otherwise.

     For those who really know me, and I think already mentioned beforehand, when I really love a book I buy them on paper for my dream library. Let’s leave the library aside *for now*, as you can see about this book it is an old release. What can I say about this book its marvelous, magnificent, wonderful and I can continue describing it. This was one of the books that made me fall harder in love with books. However for the vacation, I took my iPad, because imagine me taking all those books, my husband will literally kill me.

     With this books, I felt a love-hate relationship because there were parts where I really love it and others where I didn't. This author put so much passion describing the characters of this series. My main focus is talking about this specific book because for me this one was the home run of the series. What can I said I am very drama queen.

     Georgina Kincaid is a succubus who want a normal life, well what woman on the earth doesn’t, but she gave up everything because she *spoiler alert* cheats on her husband. Back on the times, you know women were punished for cheating when men were celebrated for doing it. The feminist in me hated that, but I understand where the author wanted to go with the subject.

     Seth, what can I said about him, he is a boring person, or on my country, we will call him “soso” this mean a person who doesn’t do anything to socialize and give something on the relationship. Then they complain about the other person being unfaithful to them.

     Georgina was protecting him by having sex so he can have a longer life. She encouraged him to have sex with others. Even though she is going to hate it. What makes my jaw drop on this book was when -OMG I can't even say it- the sister of Doug said she slept with Seth. *Sniffs*. When I was reading about Georgina encouraging her to be more open and less shy, I was the first one slapping like crazy until this. Why, why… on the earth, the author will do something like this. Why not a stranger he slept with, do you know how much it hurts that someone you love sleeps with a friend. I identified with Georgina. Now you understand the hate part on the relationship with this series. Did I mention that I cried so much that I had a runny nose? I am not ashamed to say that to you because I am pretty sure you have cried on a book as well. Please comment below on what books have made you cry so hard that you even have a runny nose. Don’t be ashamed. Since this is my 4 time reading this books so my cry is less but still have some tears. So no one couldn't accuse my husband of mistreatment on the plane. LOL. *Drama Alert* I saw my self for a moment on a viral video on facebook.

     There were two more characters I really loved on this serie it was Jerome and Carter. With Carter, I laughed a lot because he is an angel who cheats on games, smoke and drinks. When on the earth will you see an angel doing that? On the other hand Jerome its a demon who really likes his subordinates.

     If you haven’t read this books yet, you don't know what you're missing, so buy them now, because you are losing a lot. Please let know what you all think about it. See you next week.

Hex Hall
by Rachel Hawkins
Series: Hex Hall (#1)
Published by: Hyperion Book
May 29th, 2010
Genre: Young Adult
Format: eBook
Source: Library Loan
Rating: 4 Stars

     Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father—an elusive European warlock—only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.
     By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tag-along ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.
     As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.


     From the moment I started this book, I was engaged with what was happening in Sophie's life and the mystery of all that followed on Hex Hall. From her absentee father to her powers to Archer and his mysterious change of heart in regards to Elodie.

     I love the teen school fantasy trope and I found that this story had all the elements I look forward to on such stories. The biggest being (since most this types of books are first person POV) that even though you are it the head of just one character there is so much going on around that particular character that you don't have time to get annoyed because you want to know what's going on with other characters.

     I will definitively be reading the other books on the series as I what to know what is going to happened with Archer and I want to know more about Cal (I'm rooting for Cal on this one) since he was such a mysterious character and I like the way Sophie described him. And last I'd like to see how the school is going to deal with the fallout of that ending with Elodie.

Rating: 4 Stars

     A lush, tropical island on an icy planet makes no sense.
     Then again, not much makes sense anymore after waking up and finding myself not in bed but on a strange world populated by aliens. Since that moment, I’ve learned that nothing is normal anymore and I’ve got to roll with the punches. I can handle this, though. I’m strong and capable.
     So… washed up on a tropical island? Got it handled.
     Separated from the others in my group? Handled.
     Stranded alone with a brutal but delicious alien man that can’t speak English but has great… ahem… body language? Yup, handled.
     Add in the fact that my cootie – a symbiont I need to survive – has chosen my big, hulking alien friend as my fated mate? Let’s just say that the situation isn’t the only thing that’s going to be handled. 
     But it isn’t long before I learn that the tropical island paradise is a death trap and we’re all in grave danger, aliens and humans alike. To survive this, I'll need my tempting guy to give me a hand with the situation… good thing he's got four of them.


     Since I discovered Ruby Dixon last year I have loved her books and this one is no exception. I never thought blue, horned and plated (or four armed or any other crazy way Dixon can think off) was going to be sexy, but boy does Dixon knows how to work it.

     In this book, we go back to the Ice Planet where the Barbarians live. Now it is the turn of Lauren and her group of stranded humans (and some decidedly not humans). After the barbarians of the Ice Planet Barbarians (IPB) series save the group from the stasis pods they are in, Lauren and Marisol get into a bit of trouble and get separated from the group ending up in a tropical island.

     K’thar and his fellow islanders are very different from the barbarians of the main island. They are divided into different groups. The Strong Arms who have four arms, the Tall Horns who have very big horns and the Shadowed Cats who have body/facial hair.

     I loved this book so much. I think this story has much more flesh than the couple of books I’ve read in the IPB series. This book took me back to the beginning when Georgie and Vektal were trying to communicate. Although not as hilarious as that one it was still pretty funny.

     I do recommend that if you haven’t finished reading the IPB series you do so because although this book is a stand-alone if you’ve started the IPB series you’ll be a little bit lost. That being said I cannot wait to read the next story in this new spinoff. In the meantime, I’ll be finishing the IPB series.

His Secrets Can Destroy Her
     From the moment Josie laid eyes on sexy, mysterious Shane Dean, she was in love. Their desire ignited a passionate affair, and within weeks, Shane had slipped a ring on her finger. It seemed her every fantasy was coming true . . . until her new husband disappeared without a trace. Now, two years and one broken heart later, Josie is shocked by the hospital calls: Shane has been found . . . at a crime scene with no memory of how he got there.
Her Love Can Save Him
     Shane can't remember the blue-eyed angel at his bedside—or who he even is—but he knows something isn't right. His hearing is razor sharp, his physical strength incredible, and the urge to protect Josie overwhelming. For powerful enemies are hunting him, and Josie is the key to discovering why. As Shane struggles to unravel his past, dangerous new truths come to light. Can he protect the only woman he's ever loved? And can Josie trust a man she thought she knew—one who carries such a deadly secret?


     This book is the definition of suspense.

     Shane Dean has lost his memory and the police call his wife Josie after finding a picture of her in his pocket. What the police and Shane don't know is that he disappeared from Josie's life two years before without even saying a word. Now with the help of Josie, he needs to recover his memories before is too late.

     As pieces of Shane's past come to him and a series of dangerous events occur Josie is finding out that her husband is not the man she thought he was. This time Shane is willing to do things differently and hold on to his wife because he might not remember her but he does remember how much he loves her, and that he is not willing to let go again.

     I was hooked with this book from the very beginning and I cannot believe it took me this long to read it. Shane and Josie go thru so much together and Shane has kept himself so distant from his wife. I think the best thing that happened to him was loose his memory.

     He didn't have the caution to keep quiet about his past and was able to open up to his wife and win her back. The story developed at a steady readable pace. The details of the past, the danger, Shane's memory recovery. It all was revealed slowly and with the exact amount to keep you glued to the story and keep your attention wanting to see what had happened to Shane and his mission and who was behind the attacks; every single detail of the story.

     I am definitively reading the next one. This book pike my interest on the other brothers and their abilities and their connection to the commander and much more.

Officer Next Door

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Rating: 4 Stars

     How can anyone resist temptation when it’s right next door? 
     Riley County North Carolina has a lot to offer: coastal views as far as the eye can see, and men in uniform who are even more gorgeous. Home to the most notorious prison in the state, Alicia’s new hometown is crawling with men who carry their own handcuffs and know how to use them – like Officer Liam Alexander, her one and only neighbor. After catching him out of uniform, she can’t resist pausing to enjoy the show. When Liam’s Southern charm drives him across the property line, life gets hotter than the Carolina summer could possibly account for. Unfortunately, there’s a dark side to life in the coastal haven, even with an officer next door. 
     Coordinating special events at a historic – and supposedly haunted – plantation is enough to have Alicia questioning her senses and her sanity, but the spirits of the past take a backseat to a pair of escaped convicts who blaze a trail of mayhem across Riley County. Not even the most intense chemistry can survive the perils that make a sunny seaside town a dangerous place to be after dark … can it?


     Alicia Dalton moved from DC to North Carolina and so far she is loving the rural life compared to the busy one she had in the city. It all had to do (for the most part) with having a gorgeous neighbor that is not used to have someone living in the house next door.

     Liam Alexander is more than happy to have a new neighbor to look at after a long day of dealing with criminals. Life in Raley county is heating up to by one of danger and excitement for both Liam and Alicia and for all the residents in general after two murderers get loose.

     I loved how Ms. Rose made this story feel real and at the same time give that romantic and sexy element we all look forward to. The sexy scenes weren't too over the top but they weren't so short that they let you wanting more.

     I also like the suttle paranormal element in this story. It gave it a little spice but didn't take away from the fact that it is a contemporary setting. Overall I love the story and I can't wait to read the next book.

Genre: Sci-Fi
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 4 Stars

     Though still carrying the scars of his past as an intergalactic soldier, Emvor doesn’t mind the quiet of his chosen life as a farmer. He doesn’t even mind that most nights are lonely on remote Cassa, but he does need help around his farm. A mail-order bride from his homeworld seems like the perfect solution. She’ll be a tall, sturdy female to help with the chores and bear his children. 
     Unfortunately, the person that arrives is Nicola. She’s small, delicate… and human. She also knows nothing about farming, and she's lied and deceived her way across the galaxy to get to Cassa so she can hide from those that would capture her. She's a problem, and also the most enticing thing he's ever seen. 
     Now Emvor has to decide… can he keep the woman who’s nothing like what he asked for but is everything he needs?


     This was a cute and sweet fast read that none the less felt me feeling happy and satisfied with all that happened.

     After having an accident that left him fending for himself and with too much time to think, Emvor decides that he needs a wife that will help him on the farm and give him children. He is not picky, he doesn't care what she looks like. When Shaiiri (I think that her alien name) comes to him he does not imagine what secrets she's hiding.

     Nicola's owner cannot fathom her been sold or enslaved and the two of them devise a plan to give Nicola a better future. They select Emvor's request for a Mail-Order Bride because it is a very remote and isolated place where she might not be found until it's too late.

     I loved the interactions between these two characters and how sweetly the story developed. I also loved that even if this is a stand-alone story Emvor is of the same race as the Alien's from the Ice Planet Barbarian series by Dixon too. It gave me something familiar and an insight of what could have been for the Aliens in Not-Hoth.
