Frost (Rolling Thunder MC Birmingham #3) by Candace Blevins
erotica , fantasy , paranormal , romance , shapeshifters / July 14, 2020

What do you do when you want a fresh opportunity with someone who slipped away? You take it with full commitment. The same goes for Frost, who is pinning for one of the former sweetbutts. But the problem is, she left the MC lifestyle on peculiar terms and with some resentment on their side. Furthermore, they are quite different, as shifters and persons, cay they find their way together or will they be forced to admit they are better on their own? I didn’t know what expect and I must admit I couldn’t imagine lynx and owl together. Frost is a sadistic owl shifter, who just came out of prison. I like how he is levelheaded, determined, mature, and kinky dominant. Ms. Blevins never disappoints with her characters. She knows how to mend shifter and human persona so well. Banshee is former sweetbutt, but she wants something different now. She is strong, capable, and independent and secretly craves him back but on a different term. I loved how their romance progressed and how they are forced to deal with real-life problems and solving everyday stuff. There is no angst or drama and I did not miss it a bit. The…

Cold Queen (Sinister Fairy Tales) by K. Webster
fantasy , magic , paranormal , romance / November 14, 2019

Delicious 4 stars Something different from K.Webster. She is my go-to author for something darkish and kinky. This one is paranormal on top of that all. Be still my heart. I was consumed from the beginning. A young queen, who used to wield so much power and magic, is dying, but she doesn’t know why. A handsome king, with her opposite power, is coming to conquer. He is a Jang to her jing, and he won’t stop at anything. I was glued to it and read it in one sitting. I love the world she creates, which is full of paranormal and magic, the main characters are funny, full of life, determined and devoted to their goal. Their connections as a bit instant, but it was still believable. My only complaint is it was too short. I knew from the start who the traitor is, so there was no big surprise. This is a kinky paranormal romance for a reader who loves alpha, kinky males, strong females, and HEA.

The Gift: Pleasure Times Four by Candace Blevins
BDSM , erotica , fantasy , magic , menage , romance , shapeshifters , vampire , werewolves / November 7, 2019

Ms. Candace surprised us again with a brilliant story. The title is very fitting on many sides, not just the obvious one. We get to know much more about vampire politics and how things are managed in the back. We knew a lot from previous books but this one is up-close with more details, interaction, dynamics and power exchange. The plot is pretty direct with an ex-slave given to a vampire pair and due to the circumstances, another ex-slave Arabella joins them. It was amazing to see so many layers of Ajax, revealing them one by one was fascinating. I’m not sure I liked more his serving side or dominating one. His growth and development were fascinating and Ms. Blevins does a wonderful job revealing his emotions, psyche, and struggles through becoming his own person again and finding his place. His past is tragic and I was amazed by how he managed to come out being the whole person. When he connects with Arabella it is clear that the union between 4 of them is complete. The battle that is ongoing at the time is epic and for those who want to know more, it is mandatory to read Unhuman…

Unhuman Acts (Only Human #7) by Candace Blevins

Can I read this book again for the first time? It was EPIC. I think I cried, Laugh and experienced so many emotions like I was right there with them. Ms. Blevins leads us to the final battle between good and evil. It is overwhelming. So much is happening and everybody is included. It was great to see all the characters from previous books. It makes me want to read all of the books again. It is not all about fighting, there is a great part about love, sacrifices, joy, family, loyalty, and trust. We finally got to see more of Mordecai and Nathan. Their insight and POV was highly anticipated and I loved their input. It is amazing to follow favorite characters through their story, to watch them grow, change and mature and finally find their peace. I was pleasantly surprised with the sex scene and was so glad there was still time for that. It was wonderful and hot but also seemed more mature and connected. The spiritual aspect is very well explained and written as usual. The whole book is emotional and intense. There were great losses, but it wouldn’t be realistic if there was none. It was…

Panic (Rook and Ronin, #3) by J.A. Huss
abuse , erotica , romance , young-adoult / July 10, 2019

Wow, I was completely drawn to this book. I am usually not impressed with a young/new adult but this one had me hooked. There is a lot of drama going on and a lot of secrets are revealed which explained a lot of decisions made in the past. Suspense is building and their past is catching up. I was intrigued by unexpected twists, some were predictable, but still very nicely put in the plot. Rook is one very strong individual but she is also fragile and scared and was forced to grow up very quickly. She is mature for her age and her flight response when in trouble is very prominent. There was a moment I forgot her age but then again I was reminded by her behavior. Ronin is here and there but he is all in with her. He is smart and sweet, funny but I hated that he lied to her. It was one lie but still. Spencer and Ford – I liked them both. Especially Ford – he is honest, interesting, and mysterious with no BS and his own sense of humor. He is a Dom and he knows it – and those sparkling moments with…

Kissed by a Dark Prince (Eternal Mates #1) by Felicity Heaton

A new author for me that get me hooked. Olivia is a scientist that works for a company studying other species. When one night one hot injured male lands on her table she is struck by his beauty and curious about his species. But when he bites her all bets are off. They are both forced to fight the bond trying to connect them as they are fated mates. I liked Olivia. She is smart, fun, determined and also doesn’t back down – I liked that about her. Being strong despite being human. Loren is the last prince of elves and he wasn’t in contact with humans for a long time. He is intense, arrogant, protective, kind and all male. He is a warrior with brains. Their chemistry is sparkling and when they both finally give in, it is hot as hell. I liked their bonding, their conversation and revealing the past. I hurt for his brother and I am hoping to see more of him in future books. I loved the world and species the author creates and I can’t wait to read more about it. It is a good paranormal romance with some suspense and interesting characters. The…

The Rose (The Red #2) by Tiffany Reisz
erotica , fantasy , mythology , romance / January 1, 2019

Lia’s graduation party turns interesting, when she gets a present from their parents – a valuable vine cup. But this should be a magical mythological cup – it should have special powers. When another art collector August, who claims to know how to unleash its powers, wants to buy it from her, she has another exchange in mind. I am trying not to reveal too much so I will just go over the most Yummy thing I enjoyed in this book. Every chapter reveals more sensual and sexual adventures wrapped with mythological characters in different time. I ate up the stories with Gods and others full of passion and rough love. The walk through the Greek mythology was enlightening. The scenes were hot and the characters were funny, rough and erotic. I was thrilled to read about some of my favorite myths tangled with Lia’s world. A delightful mix of fantasy along with modern time and full of sensual play.

Unexpected Gifts: Pleasure Times Four by Candace Blevins
BDSM , erotica , fantasy , m-m , menage , paranormal , romance , shapeshifters , vampire / November 25, 2018

What a lovely treat for upcoming holidays. This is a story about love and second chances and fits perfectly in this time of year. I was wondering how will 4 so different people with different past work out together and Ms Blevins knows how to interwine them marvelously. Cole – a bear shifter and Jayce – a powerful vampire complete each other in their partnership. They are in love and happy together. They are sort of equal partners and their sex is smoking hot. It seems they don’t need nobody else, until Polly comes around. She is strong, independent vampire who has some bad reputation due to her past. As she was asleep for 150 years, she is now forced to learn all the history, social etiquette and technology in modern time. Let’s not forget Sergei – a werewolf and their house manager, wanting to be more. He was such a sweet albeit strong pet and so desperately in need of unconditional love and trust. I admired Jayce, he was the stone in their relationship. Smart, wise, patient and full of great ideas… I was fond of hard topics they discussed and how they confronted past vs. Present. The history,…

The Harbinger: A Reverse Harem Fantasy by Candace Wondrak

Interesting new series from Ms. Wondrak. She creates a whole new world called The Second where you can meet other races (the Elven, the Malus, the Ulen and the Dracon) and where different rules apply. I can see some similarities with common mythology but nevertheless they are different species with supernatural powers and most of them are way too beautiful to be trusted. At least that is what Faith claims. Faith is a young student at the Academy on the Earth, where she is learning to become a hunter for people making illegal portals to the other Wolds or smuggling something through it. She is a young rebel, sometimes a bit annoying and making some immature decisions. Her attitude may come out a bit arrogant, but she is just a snarky teenager and that shows in her behaviour with braking the rules all the time. I like how she is acting her age and is not all mature and perfect and making adult decisions which make her more realistic. I liked Her interaction with Light and others which was funny and sarcastic. Moving forward with the story, while going into the Second she is dragged into the prophecy of the…

Edge of Humanity (Only Human #5) by Candace Blevins

Kirsten starts with a bang in this one. Her rightful vengeance against Gavin is detailed and sadistic. There are moments she is in doubt but she quickly correct herself remembering him violating her and enjoying it. We get some insight into his past and. I could almost call it conditioning as it made him the way he is. I understand some of his reasoning so I don’t hate him completely. Her punishment is brutal and almost symbolic with her holding his heart. I still regret her relationship with Abbott but there were other path meant for her. Kirsten goes to China. So this book has more mystic and spiritual ways in finding her old teacher and learning new things. Her power grows incredibly. It was interesting twist seeing Eastern culture, philosophy and their mythology that is much different than ours. Their everyday life is more intervened with it so following her path gets us some insight. And Mrs. Blevins overcome the cultural difference with ease so the reader doesn’t feel bewildered even though he is not familiar with their ways. There is little sex in this one, but that one scene with Nathan makes up for it as Mrs. Blevins…
