She’s a rundown waitress, part-time investigator and half-fae shifter who always gets the opposite of what she wants. Raven Crawford is working two jobs but can’t pay the bills, her confrontation with Queen Lloth has some unexpected and unfortunate consequences and her latest case is leading to a group of hell-bent on destruction and could make her another casualty in a war between the Mortal Realm and the Underworld.

 

Readers are hooked from the very first page of this highly suspenseful and exciting read. The second book in the ‘Raven Crawford’ trilogy has Raven’s life taking some stunning turns that push her more into the Underworld than she wants and her troublesome attraction to the lethal Lord of Shadows is getting harder to fight. This story starts off with some unsettling news, two new cases for the investigation business and just keeps building more and more suspense with every twists and turn of every exciting page. The plot has a steady to fast pace and is filled with lots of excitement to be found throughout as well as all the emotional turmoil that Raven faces as her life is turned upside down and maybe even inside out. 

 

Readers can’t help but become enthralled by Raven’s life as they follow the case and bite their nails in anticipation of what will come next for Raven, especially regarding the outrageous consequences of her confrontation with Queen Lloth. This trilogy is so very fascinating and full of wonderfully unique and surprising elements and a snarky heroine that really reaches out and grabs readers by their imaginations.

Double Review! Wyvern's Outlaw & Celo's Quest (Dragons of Incendium #4 & 4.5) Deborah Cooke!

 

 

I am traveling in space today and there's lots of excitement to be found as the Gloria Furore space pirates are out to capture Dragon Princess Anguissa and her ship! Enjoy and don't forget to add WYVERN'S OUTLAW & CELO'S QUEST - books #4 & 4.5 in the Dragons of Incendium series by Deborah Cooke to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

Ryke wants nothing more than to escape the space pirates of the Gloria Furore and go home to his young son. He’s pretended to share their views and has worked his way up the ranks to co-pilot of the Armada Seven, commanded by the most vicious space captain of all. The capture of Princess Anguissa and her ship, the Archangel, is a moment of triumph for his superior—except that Anguissa never plays by anyone’s rules. In a flash of dragon fire, she incinerates most of the crew and takes command of the Armada Seven. Ryke is spared, but he’s not sure why—what plans does the beautiful dragon princess have for his future? And what will she demand to grant his wish of returning home? 

 

 

 

In this short story, Celo, the hidden prince who understands the language of wild creatures, unearths a forgotten secret. He accepts a challenge and embarks on a quest, seeking the solution to the riddle beyond the forests of Regalia.

 

 

Celo's Quest is included in the print edition of Wyvern's Outlaw.

 

 

MY REVIEWS

 

 

He’s pretended to share the Gloria Furore space pirates’ views and has worked his way up the ranks, but Ryke wants nothing more than to escape and go home to his young son. The capture of Princess Anguissa and her ship is a moment of triumph for his superior, except Anguissa never plays by anyone’s rules and she’s soon in command of the Armada Seven. Ryke’s not sure why he’s been spared or what plans the beautiful dragon princess has in store for him but surely he can manipulate things the way he wants them to go, right?

 

This ‘Dragons of Incendium’ story is one non-stop, thrilling adventure of a story with lots of sizzling chemistry, flying sparks and feisty attitude that readers cannot put down. Anguissa and Ryke are vibrant characters that stand out and really spark the imagination with tons of chemistry and feisty attitude that keeps readers very entertained throughout their fiery relationship. They are enemies and are forbidden to have anything to do with the other but that doesn’t stop the attraction between them from getting the upper hand even if they aren’t sure they can trust the other so there is lots of emotional angst and red hot passion to spare.

 

The plot is fast past with lots going on at every given moment, ensuring that readers never experience a dull moment and the thrilling suspense and nail biting excitement has them hanging on to the edge of their seat. Some new and unique story elements introduce another fascinating alien culture to this world as another dragon princess defies tradition does things in their own spitfire way. 

 

 

 

He’s the hidden prince who understands the language of wild creatures and now he has unearthed a forgotten secret and accepts a challenge and embarks on a quest, seeking the solution to a riddle.

 

This short is quite informative with a lovely and very engaging legend regarding the dragons. This legend is enthralling and the teller of the legend, even more so and readers can’t take their eyes from the pages. This sets up the next story and ends on a cliffhanger but the readers find themselves delighted and charmed with this novella in the ‘Dragons of Incendium’ series.

WYVERN'S OUTLAW is #4 & CELO'S QUEST is #4.5 in the DRAGONS OF INCENDIUM series.

 

Features dragon shifter princesses whose adventures are out of this world!

 

Once, in the Kingdom of Incendium, there were twelve princesses of the realm, each a dragon shifter. Each fiery and passionate. Each possessed of an appetite for pleasure that only her destined mate can satisfy. Twelve men are expected in Incendium, each with special powers of his own, each with the gift to claim one dragon princess’s heart forever.

 

On the far side of the galaxy, two planets, Regalia and Incendium, are locked into orbit around a dying sun. Since the Queen of Regalia has twelve sons, and the King of Incendium has twelve daughters, it is clear to both monarchs that the time has come to put their differences aside and compel at least one pair of their children to marry. A prophecy that Drakina, the oldest daughter of the house of Incendium, will bear a son who will save the planet simply adds to the parental desire for a wedding.

 

The sons of Regalia are champions and knights. The daughters of Incendium are dragon shifters, fiery princesses with appetites beyond all expectation.

 

The first royal match does not work out well.

New Release Review! All I Want for Christmas is my Mating Stone (Dark Warrior Alliance #20.5) Brenda Trim & Tami Julka!

 

 

I had planned on spending the holidays in Zeum with the Dark Warriors but a horrible thing has happened and all the mating stones have gone missing and Mac is on the war path, so I think I will have delay my visit! Enjoy and don't forget to add ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY MATING STONE - book #20.5 in the Dark Warrior Alliance series by Brenda Trim & Tami Julka to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

The tree is trimmed, the stockings are hung, and Mack is ready to celebrate the holidays with her sexy vampire, Kyran. But when she discovers her mating stone has gone missing she is ready to sever some heads.

 

Christmas cheer quickly turns to chaos when the other females at Zeum can't locate their stones, either. Subsequently, terrible events occur one after another, and Mack is convinced it's because of the missing jewels. She fears her worst nightmare has come true.

 

Did the Archdemon steal the stones, and finally obtain the leverage needed to gain access to the Triskele Amulet? if so, the Lord of the Underworld will soon wreak havoc on her friends and family, as well as, the entire planet.

 

Mack and Kyran travel to the dragon realm, Khoth, in search of a clue to the whereabouts of the stones. Poisonous birds, mischievous gnomes, and a sexual rendezvous beneath a waterfall can only mean one thing. It's another unforgettable adventure with the fiesty, sarcastic, f-bomb dropping Mack and her deviant Vampire Prince, Kyran.

 

What begins as a search for a shiny stone ends with the couple learning the true meaning of love, sacrifice, and family. Christmas miracles exist, if you truly believe.

 

 

 

Mack is ready to celebrate the holidays with her sexy vampire, Kyran, but when she discovers her mating stone has gone missing she’s ready to sever heads. All the holiday cheer throughout Zeum quickly turns to chaos as none of the females’ stones can be found and terrible events began occurring. What begins as a search for a shiny stone ends with the couple learning the true meaning of love, sacrifice and family Christmas miracles exist, if you truly believe.

 

This holiday story is a delightfully exciting and joyous story that includes a trip to Khoth, a quest and self-discovery. The plot is fast paced and has our favorite snarky, kick behind mate and her sexy vampire having a few issues regarding their family of course these issues don’t impact the rocking chemistry or the scorching passion just the emotional side of things. The search for the mating stones leads them to Khoth where Mac receives an extra special gift that changes her and Kyran’s family for the better, which makes this story a delightful and extra special holiday read.

Neither Brenda nor Tami grew up writing stories or dreaming of one day being authors but that changed when they shared a joint dream of creating a world to bring to life the stories of a group of dangerously handsome supernaturals.

 

Brenda is a Southern California girl who grew up in a chaotic house with ten siblings. Brenda survived the brutal murder of her first husband, John DeCaprio, at the hands of the children he was counseling to go on and help children in similar situations. Brenda remarried years later and now lives with her husband and their three fun-loving, energetic children. She loves running, reading, cooking, and Monster Energy drinks. And, Tami's margaritas!

 

Tami is a southern girl, born and raised in Georgia. She is married and has two boys, so needless to say, she is surrounded by testosterone. We are trying to bottle Tami's strength and positive outlook on life. It has helped her beat breast cancer and she is a proud three-year survivor. She loves reading paranormal romances, running at the lake near her home, watching college football (Go Dawgs!!!), and is always in search of the next best margarita.

 

Their life journeys led them both to Texas and one another. They fast became best friends and can always be found together. Whether it's lounging by the pool or writing steamy love scenes, they are frequently seen laughing and smiling!

New Release Review! Ally's Guard (The Dragon Ruby #4.5) Leilani Love!

 

 

Things are heating up here at The Dragon Ruby castle as Jared discovers that the only thing harder than guarding Princess Ally is trying to keep his hands off her! Enjoy and don't forget to add ALLY'S GUARD - book #4.5 in The Dragon Ruby series by Leilani Love to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

The only thing harder than watching over Ally was trying to keep his hands off her.

 

Ally knew Jared thought she was a spoiled brat.

 

At an early age Ally learned men's were affection were fickle. But once her sister found true love Ally realized what she had really wanted was someone to love her.

 

As a Dragon Royal's Guard one of Jared's responsibilities was watching over the Royal Family. When he was informed he would have to watch over the spoiled Princess while she went on a date with a alpha wolf shifter Jared could easily think of a thousand ways his time would be better spent.

 

 

 

As a Dragon Royal’s Guard one of his responsibilities is watching over the Royal Family and the only thing Jared finds harder than watching over Ally is trying to keep his hands off her. From an early age, Ally learned that men’s affection were fickle, but once her sister found true love Ally realized what she really wanted was someone to love her.

 

‘Ally’s Guard is a delightful and charming read with a feisty feel that tickles readers’ imaginations.  While on the short side, this amusing romance has all the right ingredients to make is wonderful afternoon delight. The chemistry between Jared and Ally is sizzles with a strong electric current from every page with emotional overtones that makes the characters come to life. This couple seems to have the wrong ideas about a very right subject and those wrong ideas make them a bit prickly which keeps things interesting throughout. 

 

The plot is fast paced with the suspense of the relationship building throughout and then to make even more exciting, there is a danger to Ally that no one is expecting which livens things up and puts them both in a different frame of mind.

New Release Review! Coldest Fire (Dominion #3) Juliette Cross!

 

 

Shh....be very quiet. I am in a post apocalyptic world and I am following the archangel Uriel around because I want to see the demon prince Vladek get what he deserves and Uriel is so hell bent on getting his revenge that he has even accepted the help of the witch Nadya. This is so exciting! Enjoy and don't forget to add COLDEST FIRE - the 3rd and final book in the Dominion series by Juliette Cross to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

Archangel Uriel is hell bent on revenge on the demon prince Vladek. To get into the prince’s impenetrable fortress, he’ll have to fight in the pits of the underworld. And he’ll need the help of the last person he can trust –– the demon witch Nadya.

 

There is no way Nadya, who spends her days taking care of others, expected to find Uriel on her doorstep. He seems no happier about being there than she does. But helping him means evening the scales against her backstabbing sister, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make that bitch pay.

 

Using the fight pit circuits in the demon underworld, Nadya helps Uriel combat his way to the arena at the castle in Russia. Only she isn’t what she seems. As a matter of fact, she may hold the key to his redemption...and to his heart.

 

 

 

He is out for revenge against the demon prince Vladek, but to get into the prince’s impenetrable fortress, Uriel have to fight in the pits of the underworld.  By helping the Archangel Uriel, Nadya can even the scales against her backstabbing sister and she will do whatever it takes to make her pay. Nadya helps Uriel combat his way to the arena at the castle in Russia, but she isn’t what she seems, as a matter of fact she may hold the key to his redemption…and to his heart.

 

What an awesome, earth shattering conclusion to the Dominion series! Uriel and Nadya are two bold, striking characters that easily capture the attention of their audience which consists not only of the readers but also the bad guys. The chemistry between them is made of strong, electrical and fiery current but the romance is quite sweet as these two wounded souls join together to achieve their goals. Lots of emotional turmoil flowing the pages along with the passion and romance which really brings these characters to life.

 

The fast paced plot is full of energy, suspense and excitement as they enact their plan to reach the arena, knowing that once they are there, things will not go as they expect. The danger builds the closer they get to their enemy and with a couple stunning twists the readers just have to hang on to every last word of this exhilarating, nail biting read.
