A.R.C. review of BITE MARKS by REBECCA ROYCE:

BITE MARKS.

BITE MARKS.

BY REBECCA ROYCE.

I was lucky enough to receive an A.R.C. of this but that will not colour my review in any way.

George is a mystery writer and a bit of a geek. He is out on a stag night with his friends. Rather than ogle the strippers he is trying for the ninth time to get the bartender Trudy to go out with him. He is not a stalker just determined, he knows she is the only girl for him.

Trudy is much more than a bartender and tat is why she keeps refusing George. She is a werewolf hunter and never knows when she will have to leave town fast.

George knows nothing about the paranormals around him until one of the strippers attacks him.

 

This book is great fun, the way the characters deal with the changes in their lives is amusing. The sex scenes are hot and the fights exciting. The ¨world ¨it is set in makes me want to read a lot more of it. It all seems so believable. I do hope this is part of a series I want to follow the lives of the characters I have met so far.

HIGHLAND WOLF PACT
.        BY SELENA KITT
I was lucky enough to recieve an A.R.C. of this but that does notcolour my review in any way.

This book is a mix of my two favourite genres, historical and paranormal.  With sexy Highlanders to top it off.
Lady Sibyl Blackthorn is being forced to marry the evil and cowardly Laird Alistair MacFalon.  The weeks she has spent at his home waiting until everything is ready for the wedding have been miserable. The day he sets up a hunt. Sibyl decides to escape.
The creatures that Alistair is hunting are called Wulvers (werewolves).
Raife is the wulver’s pack leader and has come to rescue one of the packs females from the hunters. He finds himself with two females to save.
Once Sibyl has recovered from the unbelievable scenes she witnessed she finds her skills as a healer are desperately needed. .

I don’t want to give away any of the story, so you will have to read it for yourself. I will say I loved it. The story is incredible but believable. The characters are strong. Lots of action, some hot sex all set in the Scottish highlands of old. Everything you could possibly want in a good book.

This is my review

DIMITRI,

By KYM GROSSO.

Immortals of New Orleans, book 7.

I was lucky enough to receive an A.R.C. of this but that will not colour my review in any way.

While you can read any of the books in this series as a stand alone , I think it is more enjoyable to read them in order. They are adult only books because there are a lot of HOT sex scenes.

The first thing Dimitri senses when he wakes up is a woman laying on him while he is tied down. How he ended up like this when the last thing he remembers is being attacked on the beach, is a mystery. Naturally being Dimitri there is a part of him that doesn´t care how he got there ,it´s quite happy to enjoy the results.

Gillian has used her healing gift on Dimitri, because she knows she is the reason he was attacked. The Pack of wolves that nearly killed him are after her. Their Alpha has somehow found out what she is and wants to force mate her to steal her gifts. Gillian was always told by her mother to stay away from the werewolves. If she gets involved with one she will lose an especial part of her being.

Gillian is set on getting as far away from Dimitri as possible, so that he will not be in any more danger. He is just as set on not letting her face the danger of the mad Alpha alone. The problem is he is having trouble shifting to his wolf. So he needs help to keep her safe.

Once she goes to see a half brother she only recently found, her life changes forever. To set a trap for the Alpha that is after her she must pretend to be getting mated to Dimitri. Gillian has a very big secret she has not told him ,and finds herself getting jealous of all the women that are in his life.

This is a very sexy book, with lots of danger and great fun. Dimitri has a very naughty streak. I love his personality. Gillian is a very strong woman ,but is also very vunerable.

The only problem I have is now I have to wait for Jax´s book.

This book is going to be a big hit. Buy it now from Amazon with this link.Dimitri (Immortals of New Orleans #6)

How about an Excerpt.

Dimitri yanked on the restraints, his wrists firmly secured at his sides.  The sweet scent of a woman danced through his mind and he swore he felt the warmth of a smooth hand on his thigh. A moan alerted him to the fact that he wasn’t alone, and his cock hardened in response.  If it weren’t for the caustic pain tearing through his muscles, he’d have thought he was having a wet dream.  But as he attempted to open his eyes, memories of his last thoughts slammed into him.

Teeth.  Claws.  Blood.  Submission.  As his chest heaved for breath, his hands curled into the bed and saliva dripped from his mouth as he recalled being attacked on the beach.  A pack of feral wolves had torn into him. Helplessly, he’d fought them, unable to shift.  At some point the slashing agony of the attack had ceased; the smooth sound of a woman’s voice curled around him in comfort as he surrendered to unconsciousness.

“Shh…you’re okay.  Stay still.”

Not his Alpha’s command, yet Dimitri’s mind quieted.  His dried, cracked lips parted.  But before he had a chance to utter a word, the seal between where her skin met his began to heat.  His eyes flew open and rolled back into his head as tendrils of healing seeped into his skin.  Instinctively, he thrashed against the bindings.  His hands fisted the leather, and he shook the bed’s metal frame until it rattled uncontrollably.  As the tingling spread throughout his body, overwhelming relief from the pain swept through him and he gasped. By the time it was over, tears ran down his face.  Not only had the crushing misery disappeared; for the first time in weeks, his wolf howled in celebration.

“My wolf,” he cried. “You healed me?  How?  What are you?”

“You should be okay once you shift…for a few days, anyway,” the female responded breathlessly, her lips accidentally brushing his chest. “Can’t promise you any longer.  You need to see a witch.  A shaman may be able to help.”

“But how did you know?  My wolf…”  Dimitri’s words trailed off as his vision slowly came into focus. He glanced down to the silky raven hair that brushed over his abdomen.

“Your wolf…he recovers.”

“Jesus Christ, the pack.  They tried to kill me.  How did I get here?”

“You’ve got an awful lot of questions for an almost dead man,” she responded.

“What can I say?  Near death does that to a guy.  Last thing I remember, those dogs were takin’ a bite outta my neck.  As much as I wish I had nine lives, I ain’t no cat, if you noticed.”

“Oh I noticed.” She laughed, concealing her face. “Seems to me, you should be doing a little more thanking and a little less asking.”

“Now don’t take it the wrong way, cher.  It’s not that I don’t appreciate ya healin’ me with whatever voodoo you do, but you’ve gotta see this from my perspective.” He gave a small chuckle as his wrists tugged the straps taut. He glanced at his makeshift handcuffs, noticing she’d used belts to restrain him. “So ya want to tell me why I’m tied to the bed?  Believe me, I’m down with the kink as much as the next wolf.  But call me crazy, this doesn’t really seem on the up and up.”

“Sorry, lover boy, but I did it for my own safety.  You were a bit wild when I brought you here.  You know what they say when a dog gets hit by a car…it can bite out of fear and pain.”

“Hey now, no need for name calling.  There’s no dog here.  You got yourself a wolf, darlin’.”

“I know what you are.  Doesn’t matter.  I take my life pretty seriously.  I admit I’m not in the business of tying up men, but I can assure you that I trussed you up for self-preservation purposes only.”

Dimitri felt the lilt of her smile curl against his skin and silently cursed as his dick twitched in response.  He laughed inwardly at his predicament, as he jerked at his bindings.  Sure, he was tied up good.  On the up side, he’d survived the attack and had woken up with a beautiful woman next to him.  Not the optimal situation, but it could be worse.  He was alive and damn, if it didn’t turn him on to feel the top of her thigh brush against his own. ‘Bondage anytime anywhere’ just might become his new motto.  He knew it was wrong to be thinking about sex, given the seriousness of the situation, but hey, when in Rome…

COLD HEARTED

Leopold´s Wicked Embrace.

Leopold´s Wicked Embrace.

By Kym Grosso.

Immortals of New Orleans ,book 5.

 

Leopold is furious when he finds a werewolf pup dying in the snow at Yellowstone. After getting her to safety he calls on the local Alpha to find out who would allow this to happen to an innocent. He discovers the baby is much more than a wolf. Now he must find a similar being to help little Ava. Even as an ancient vampire he has never met another with similar powers.

Laryssa has been hiding what she is for most of her life, but recently she has felt the dark ones are close to finding her. She needs to meet a friend who is a witch to build up her defences again.

While Laryssa is waiting in the club for her friend, Leopold walks in and upsets her concentration. Later in the evening trouble breaks out in the club. The owner , who Leopold is visiting tells him to watch the security tape. What he sees is exactly the powers he is searching for. Now he just has to persuade her to help him.

Leopold is used to getting his own way ALL the time, why is this terrified little woman so unafraid of him.

 

I loved this story ,it´s the best in the series so far. A very naughty sexy read for adults only. As usual KYM manages to write really erotic scenes without being the slightest bit crude. The fight scenes are intense and scary. The world Leopold inhabits is not for the feint hearted. Once again in this book we meet some old friends especially Dimitri. I can´t wait for his story he is so mischievious.

The New Alpha.

Logan´s Arcadian Wolves.

Logan´s Acadian Wolves.

By Kym Grosso

Immortals of New Orleans. Book 4.

 

Wynter is a doctor and she has been looking for a cure for a friend who is dying. The friend is a hybrid wolf and should be immune to sickness. Unfortunately the company she is working for is not what she believed. She has been forced to work and bled almost dry by the vampires. She manages to escape and is running for her life, when a werewolf comes to her rescue.

Logan is getting used to his new role as Alpha of the Acadian Pack. The previous Alpha was murdered by his Beta, Logan killed the Beta and the dying Alpha begged him to take over his Pack. It is taking all of his concentration to help his wolves to settle down into a normal peaceful life.

When he rescues the terrified woman from the vampires she refuses to believe she is a wolf. The last thing Logan needs at the moment is the confusing feelings the Wynter brings out in him.

To find out how Wynter has become a wolf and how she can cure her friend they must find the lab she was forced to work in. They call on the head of the local vampires to help.

 

This is an exciting story , that shows us love can come at the most inconvenient times. Dealing with heightened emotions at a time when calm is vital. A very nice sexy book in a great series. I´m going straight on to the next in the series.

TRISTAN’S. LYCEUM WOLVES.
      BY. KYM GROSSO.

This is from the IMMORTALS OF NEW ORLEANS. SERIES.

Tristan is one very angry Alpha wolf. Someone has set fire to his club. The attack on his pack can not go unpunished. The threats seem to come from different sides. A pack member was killed and another Alpha tried to mate his sister by force. Tristan is investigating who would dare do these things.
Kali is a Vet who has managed to hide who and what she really is. Her testing on herself has proved she can hide in everyday life, One night she had gone into a bar run by werewolves and nobody managed to sniff her out. When she saw the club on fire and realized that the beautiful snake she had seen behind the bar  would burn before the fire service arrived, she went in to rescue it.  Tristan is told one of the most powerful Vampires has found the woman on the security tape so he goes to claim his suspect.
Kali has been tortured by the vampire, and all Tristan can think of is protecting her. He knows she has secrets but this beautiful human is pulling every protective instinct from his wolf.
While he is trying to sort out  his feelings for Kali another of his pack is murdered. Kali realizes that the drug she made is in the hands of an enemy. She must tell Tristan everything.

There is obviously a power struggle between packs.  Tristan must be a diplomat but also allow no other Alpha to threaten his pack.

This is a very sexy story with a little kink. It  just  might overheat your kindle. Mine is still steaming. I do love it when an author can write such scorching scenes without the need to use foul language.
Lots of very good storyline and great secondary characters.. I am completely addicted to this series.

OTHERS OF SEATTLE BOOK #1
  This series is set in the same world as Others of Edenton, but can be read separately.

He is refusing to accept the he and Roxy are over for good.  When they turn up to a gig one night, the Singer in the band performing before them captures her immediate attention.

Roxy has put herself in the line of fire between two powerful enemies, but unbeknownst to her she has power of her own. The father she has never known turns up, to kill Trevor.
I don’t want to spoil this, so I won’t  tell you more. You need to read it.  The sex scenes are hot but not graphic.
This is a beautiful love story with a very powerful Magical plot. The secondary characters set us up nicely for the next book, and we revisit old friends from Edenton.  I am going straight on to the next book. (I’m lucky I have an A.R.C. )

SCAREDY CAT.

             HIS PERFECT MATE.
              By Laurann Dohner.
                  ★★★★★

The second book in the Mating Heat series.  If you haven’t read the first this will not spoil it.
It is a very sexy book, with some good comedy, but also has some graphic violence. So strictly adult only.

Shannon is only a quarter puma and can’t shift. She is being hunted by some young werewolves. As she is cowering at the top of a tree, a very large werewolf chases the others away.
Anton is the Alpha’s heir. He is furious at the pups for what they have done, and promises to keep her safe. When Anton takes her to his home, the only place he says she will be safe, Shannon is so terrified she can’t stop herself climbing what ever is available.  There is the problem of the mating heat starting soon, and the fact that the wolves want to kill the cat .Someone unexpected causes big trouble that leads to tragedy.
I love this series, and the way this author can put across even the graphic scenes without using crude words. Thank you Laurann you show others how it can be done.
