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.

The Savior
by J. R. Ward
Series: Black Dagger Brotherhood (#17)
Published by: Gallery Books
April 2nd, 2019
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: Hardcover
Source: Purchased
Rating: 4.5 Stars

     In the venerable history of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, only one male has ever been expelled—but Murhder’s insanity gave the Brothers no choice. Haunted by visions of a female he could not save, he nonetheless returns to Caldwell on a mission to right the wrong that ruined him. However, he is not prepared for what he must face in his quest for redemption.
     Dr. Sarah Watkins, researcher at a biomedical firm, is struggling with the loss of her fellow scientist fiancé. When the FBI starts asking about his death, she questions what really happened and soon learns the terrible truth: Her firm is conducting inhumane experiments in secret and the man she thought she knew and loved was involved in the torture.
     As Murhder and Sarah’s destinies become irrevocably entwined, desire ignites between them. But can they forge a future that spans the divide separating the two species? And as a new foe emerges in the war against the vampires, will Murhder return to his Brothers... or resume his lonely existence forevermore?


     Reading this book took me back to the beginning of this series where the story was more about the couple than the world building and politics. I fell in love with Murhder and Sarah even when we don't get a lot into the back story of him or get to know her before this book.

     We first see Murhder on Lover Mine; John Mathew and Xhex story; and we learn that he's gone mad after trying to rescue Xhex from the sympaths colony. There is not much else mention about him but there are some glimpses of him on one of the side stories from Lover Mine that makes you curious about him and his story.

     Sarah lost her fiance about a year back and the FBI shows up on her house asking some questions that make her think twice into how he died and what he was working on. This leads her to discover some things that make her question everything they had and who she works for.

     From the moment I picked this book up I was hooked and couldn't wait to see how these two were going to meet and how they were going to be accepted together in this world on vampires. I have to say that this book was a nice change from all this fighting and the constant angst in this series. That is not to say I don't love the other books.

     The JM and Xhex side of the story had me hooked too as this is one of my favorite couples and you don't see a lot of them throughout the series. I also loved that scene at the end (who's that woman?) and the revelation #whosyourdaddy.

     I can't wait for the next book in the series and see what else is in store for this band of warriors.

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.

Serpent's Kiss
by Thea Harrison
Series: Elder Races (#3)
Published by: Tantor Media Inc.
October 6th, 2011
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: Audiobook
Source: Library Loan
Rating: 4 Stars

     In order to save his friend's life, Wyr sentinel Rune Ainissesthai made a bargain with Vampyre Queen Carling—without knowing what she would ask from him in return. But when Rune attempts to make good on his debt, he finds a woman on the edge. 
     Recently, Carling's Power has become erratic, forcing her followers to flee in fear. Despite the danger, Rune is drawn to the ailing Queen and decides to help her find a cure for the serpent's kiss—the vampyric disease that's killing her. 
     With their desire for each other escalating just as quickly as Carling's instability spirals out of control, the sentinel and the Queen will have to rely on each other if they have any hope of surviving the serpent's kiss.


     In the previous book, Rune promised a favor to the queen of the vampires, Carling, in order for her to save Tiago, his fellow Wyr sentinel. When the queen reaches out to collect he has to tell Dragos about it which does not a happy Wyr make since he is already one sentinel down because Tiago left to live with Tricks.

     Rune's job is to make Carling give him the quickest job possible so he can go back to New York and his duties as sentinel. What Rune didn't count on was that he would not be able to leave her once he found out about her disease.

     What they didn't count on either was the fact that Rune could travel into Carling's so called hallucinations.

     I like these stories but I would like them more if the Wyr in the books supported each other or at least didn't go solo into their missions. If the characters were more united as brothers.

     I will definitely be reading more into this series because it is interesting and I'm enjoying every book.

Wolf Rising
by Paige Tyler
Series: SWAT: Special Wolf Alpha Team (#8)
Published by: Sourcebooks Casablanca
October 30th, 2018
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: eARC
Source: Publisher (via NetGalley)
Rating: 4 Stars

     Werewolf SWAT Officer Jayden Brooks has yet to meet The One—but when he rescues teacher Selena Rosa from a hostage situation at her high school, he knows he’s in trouble. Her scent is irresistible. 
     There’s a reason for that powerful scent—and it isn’t an expensive perfume. Thanks to the traumatizing events at the school, the werewolf gene flipped on and Selena’s going through the change. Even scarier, she’s on track to become an omega—an out-of-control and violent breed. It’s going to take everything Brooks has if he wants any chance to pull her back from the edge…and ultimately win her heart.


     This is the eighth installment of the SWAT series by Paige Tyler and I have to say that I am in love with this books. I first started reading this series because of the name of the series. I found it funny that Paige was able to use the SWAT acronym and give it a completely different definition at the same time that the characters are from a SWAT team. Add to that the fact that when I started reading this series I found that these wolves don't change from being bitten and I was hooked.

     This one follows Jayden, the biggest of the teammates and Selena, a teacher on the bad part of town. Like every one of the previous books, you get a before scene where we see the event that made one of the main characters become a werewolf; in this case Jayden. Then you get to understand a little more about the wolves after Selena is threatened by a gangbanger looking to recruit from the students of her class.

     With every book, we get deeper into the world of the wolves and we get to discover more things that have been happening behind the scene that even the wolves themselves didn't know about. The way that things the SWAT have been investigating come to light and how that discovery leads to more questions and problems keeps this stories going and gives a fresh canvas for each book is another reason why I love this series so much.

     I love the action in this books (this one having the prison scene amongst others) and the shocking realizations and even when I know the outcome of some things the story is written so well that I don't mind. I also like how every story is different and how all the characters come from different places physically, mentally and by circumstance.

    Every book has me hooked to it from beginning to end and by the end the next teammate to get their HEA is so well incorporated to the story that you can't wait for the next one and obviously I can't wait for it.

Temping the Beast 
by Lora Leigh
Series: Breeds (#1)
Published by: Author
September 19th, 2017
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 5 Stars

     He’s a genetic experiment. The merging of human and lion DNA his creators call a Breed. And they have no idea just what kind of the creature they brought into being.     Callan Lyons wanted only to be left in peace to protect the small group of Breeds he rescued from a New Mexico lab, but those that created them refuse to stop their continued attempts to re-capture them. And the owner of a small, reputable paper, once a friend of his birth mother’s, now has proof of his existence. Proof that has caught his daughter, Merinus Tyler’s’s fascination and ensured her determination to find him. But once they touch, they’ll become far more than either ever imagined possible.     Man created them, but nature has made them her own. Beginning with Callan, she’ll show the world the folly of playing with the very building blocks of all she protects. And Merinus will learn the folly of tempting the beast…


     This novel was recommended by one of my friends who also loves to read. As always I was a bit bored because I did not know what to read. This week was a little busy for me in my work. So I told her that I was looking for something refreshing and did not leave this world. She told me that this series had some 32 books, so I told her to let me start with the first one and then we'll see if I continue with the rest. Hey, I'm not a millionaire to buy many books. The good news is that this book is free for those who have the Kindle Unlimited subscription that I am part of.

     I'll leave the link down below for those who are interested in being part of the Kindle Unlimited program. I only pay 9.99 monthly which amounts to 10.84 with taxes but I imagine that this will depend on the area where you are. You have a wide selection of books to choose from and thus do not affect your pocket.

     Returning to the book I got off in my kindle and I swear I read it like in 4 hours. Now, you will say how I got 4 hours without children and without a husband because it was my birthday, so that was my gift. Not only I love the story is that it was refreshing. I don't know this series seems a bit like this series by author Laura Dohner called New Species, which I recommend a lot. Well, this series or at least this book I liked a lot. I think that this series was recommended by Mineliz in one of my boredom.

     First, we meet Merinus. She is a journalist and the only woman among 7 brothers. Those who have been only daughters with more than two brothers know what the testosterone can do. How about you are overprotected. I remembered my brothers with this story. She is captivated by our hero.

     Callan is an experiment - come back to tell you that it looks like Laura's New Species - but I like it because it is a leader and super protects our heroine. Not just me the escape of the installation but could grab and protect some of his people.

     Another thing that I like is that they were introducing another story. Which means I have to keep reading the books. They were betrayed by someone close to them, which was a surprise to me. I can not avoid comparing them with Laura's new species, but there are many similarities. I love that this author put this betrayal, other beginnings of other stories and also know they can have babies.

     As I said I loved these stories so I'll be a little busy with them, hey they are 32 but I could be wrong and could be more. Definitely will recommend this one. Good job Lora! You will love it as I did.
