Caged Wolf The Tarot Witches by SM Reine

My Rating 3 out of 4 Stars

This book was just off to me.  I couldn't get into the story line and how it played out.  It just wasn't the paranormal romance for me.

Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This is a great new series.  Tessa and Dastien have a true love and soul connection.  The plot is full of action and suspense.   I can't wait to see what happens with the characters.  The next book will continue to develop alphas and challenges.  I'm going straight to book 2.

Fierce by Clarissa Wild

My Rating 3 out of 5 Stars

This story and characters had the potential to be great but the book just didn't live up.  There needed to be more depth and realism.  I love the cover.  I always root for the bad boy with a big heart that falls in love with the odd girl but this one just didn't make it happen.

Thank you Clarissa Wild and NetGalley for ARC.

Kissed by Kim Knox

My Rating 3 out of 5 Stars

This is a short read that contains romance and science fiction.  It has the potential to be a more detailed book that gives a greater depth into the characters.  Even in this quick read true love conquers all.

The Sexiest Man Alive (Life and Love on the Lam #4) by Juliet Rosetti

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This book was fun and romantic.  Ben and Mazie are obviously in love with each other, but they just can't seem to get on the same page.  When Mazie gets herself in trouble Ben has to save her and accept his faults.  This is the first book I have read in the series but loved it and will read the others.

Always Remember (A Rocky Mountain Romance, #1) by Sheila Seabrook

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

I loved this book.  I kept reading to see what was going to happen next but I wanted to scream at Nate and Jessie for being stubborn.  That is why I was hooked.  I can't wait to read the next book in series.

The Cowboy Rescues A Bride (The Cowboys of Chance Creek #7) by Cora Seton

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Another great book in the series.  I loved Fila and Ned's story.  She is a fighter trying to have a life of normalcy after spending half of life in captivity.  Ned is the middle child and has issues of his own.  Neither of them have luck or Ned's father on their side.  They both fight to save each other and find happiness.  I am rooting for them all the way.

Turned (The Belladonna Agency Series) by Virna DePaul

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

This was a great paranormal romance.  It was very mysterious and suspenseful.  Ana and Ty were hot, hot, hot together.  I think this will be a popular series because it has lots of action and characters to follow.

Invincible by Alana Albertson

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

Annie was taken while on a cruise and forced into slavery.  A marine visits her brothel and it is the last chance she will get to for help.  Patrick cannot believe this is a US Citizen that has been missing for 5 years.  Does he risk his life and career to save her?  If he gets discovered he will lose everything he has worked for plus jeopardize his team.  There is no way he can just leave Annie but that doesn't mean it will be easy. Plus Annie has secrets of her own that Patrick isn't prepared for.  This book has suspense, romance and a few vague story lines.  I will be reading the second.

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Bash and Olivia are in a bad situation.  Protecting her is going to cost him everything.  Olivia isn't going to let it happen.  She will give up everything she has to save Bash.  They just have to realize they are stronger together.

Fix You: Bash and Olivia, Book 3 of 3 (The McDaniels Brothers) by Christine Bell

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

I love how Bell finished Bash and Olivia's story.  Their lives together are just beginning and the door has opened to the other McDaniels brothers.  I am ready for the next book.

Fix You (McDaniels Brothers series) Bash and Olivia, Book One by Christine Bell

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Olivia and Bash should have nothing to do with each other.  Things are not going well for her and she just keeps finding more problems.  Bash is on his way out and onto a better life, but he is loosing focus now.  After he saves her he can't get her out of his head.  Olivia wants Bash even though she knows she should leave him alone.  This is a short read with a cliffhanger.  Go straight to book 2.

Thank you Christine Bell and NetGalley for the ARC.

Rebecca's Lost Journals (Inside Out Series) by Lisa Renee Jones

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This is all of Rebecca's Journals grouped in one book.  I love the Inside Out series and Rebecca's story.  She is accepting who she is, but also fighting to make Mark see who she is.  She isn't giving herself up just to be with him.  Through Rebecca's determination Mark is going to have to make changes and accept ions as well.

Mustang Sassy by Daire St. Denis

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

This was a cute, quick read.  Everyone loves a little revenge, especially when it is deserved and with humor.  Throw in romance and hot love and it is a good story.  

Thank you Entangled Publishing, LLC and NetGalley for ARC.

The Virgin Redemption by J. Dallas

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

This book probably would have been an clearer read if I would have realized it was book 2.  I missed book 1 but was able to follow along with Drake and Shannon's story.  Even with a desire for revenge love wins out.  

Thank you J. Dallas Books and NetGalley for ARC.

Kaleidoscope by Kristen Ashley

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

I love a strong alpha mountain man.  Ashley keeps them coming.  This was also a great book because their is a strong female lead.  Emme isn't going to be pushed around or told what to do.  She has her protecting man in Deck.  This is a great series and I will continue reading with the next book.  

Thank you Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley for ARC.

Tempting His Mate by Savannah Stuart, Katie Reus

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

This is a quick read with a alpha male and hot shape shifters.  What's not to like?  This is the third book in the series and I liked it enough to go back and read the first two.  Stuart does a great job with paranormal romance and eroticism.  

Thank you CrushStar Multimedia LLC and NetGalley for ARC.

Unintentional Virgin by A.J. Bennett

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This was a very cute story.  I loved Karma and Jax.  They were great for each other.  Jax gave them time to see that and for Karma to come to him for all the right reasons, not the wrong one.  

Thank you Indie Inked and NetGalley for ARC.

The Stipulation Box Set by M.L. Young

My Rating 3 out of 5 Stars

This book just did not do it for me.  The story was to drawn out.  All of the events were detailed with to much information.  There wasn't any suspense or excitement.  The sex scenes were erotic and hot but didn't make up for the lacking story.  

Thank you M.L. Young and NetGalley for ARC.

Forbidden by Caroline B. Cooney

My Rating 3 out of 5 Stars

This was a simple romance novel with suspense and mystery.  It was a clean romance and I like my books much more spicier.  I can't say it was a bad book, it just wasn't my type story.  

Thank you Open Road Integrated Media and NetGalley for ARC.

My Hunger (Inside Out #3.2) by Lisa Renee Jones

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This is another great Inside Out story.  This is told from Mark's point of view and how he is dealing with Rebecca's death, his mother's illness and his interest in Sarah.  The book is short read and novella length.

Thank you Gallery, Threshold, Pocket Books and NetGalley for ARC.

Overexposed by Noelle Adams

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

Their loved never died, even with all the obstacles in their way.  Leah and Kevin have lost so many years from deception and confusion.  Now they are spending time together again to realize that you can still love even without trust.  But is that enough to try again?

Thank you Noelle Adams and NetGalley for ARC.

Overwhelmed by You (Tear Asunder) by Nashoda Rose

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Another amazing story in the series.  I wanted to scream at Ream and tell him to man up instead of being an idiot.  You can't though because he is broken and doesn't know how to deal the right way.  Kat is just as hard headed but for different reasons.  She isn't going to beg or give into Ream.  He hurt her to bad.  I love their story, especially the battles.

Thank you Nashoda Rose and NetGalley for ARC.

Stay by Emily Goodwin

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

This book was a little to real for me.  Don't get me wrong I love a dark read, but I need more fast paced.  Addie's strength was amazing.  They didn't break her, only made her desire to live stronger.  Then there was Jackson.  His role changed everything in the book.  Their bond kept you cheering for the one chance to get free.  I am used to books that put more intense passion into the love and relationship.  This is where I was thrown.  The bad guys stayed bad but the way the victims fought back kept me from putting the book down.  You will scream for them to fight even as your heart is breaking.
