Read my reviews of the first 4 books in the Sons of the Fallen series. The fated mate connection between Bellamy (avatar of Lust) and Phoenix (demon and all-around snarky dude) has been teased for a few books. Though we have only seen their interactions from other perspectives until now, their eventual clash was less … Continue reading Book Review: Bellamy (Sons of the Fallen #5) by Jaclyn Osborn

Book Review: Redeemed (Soulmates #3) by Liv Rancourt
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Soulmates series: Soulmates (#1)Tested (#2) If books 1 and 2 in this series focus on conflicts that affect David and Connor, the biggest plot element for book 3 surrounds Trajan. Things have been tense with his vampire maker since the very beginning of these stories, but Betancourt’s order … Continue reading Book Review: Redeemed (Soulmates #3) by Liv Rancourt

Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #1) by Jennifer Cody
I wasn’t sure what I was getting into this book. The cover is typical romance fare, but I went in with a burning curiosity to identify the nicknames and a willingness to embrace a dark comedy. What I got was a delightful paranormal romance featuring a narrator who swept me along with his strong personality. … Continue reading Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #1) by Jennifer Cody

Book Review: A Thousand Lifetimes by Kate Hawthorne
Vampires are my jam, and Hawthorne is one of my favorite authors. The only reason I hadn’t read this book before now is that I’m rationing her titles since I’m almost out of “new” things to read by her. Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. I didn’t get enough sleep last … Continue reading Book Review: A Thousand Lifetimes by Kate Hawthorne
Book Review: A Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars (R’iyah Family Archives #1) by A.J. Sherwood
American readers of a certain age probably got a strange hit of nostalgia while reading this delightful queer paranormal romance novel. The ways Sherwood presents the mage/familiar bond and how Bel interacts with both Nico and Garen gave me lovely echoes of the television show Sentinel; however, this book is not fanfic with the serial … Continue reading Book Review: A Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars (R’iyah Family Archives #1) by A.J. Sherwood
Book Review: Bee Cave Magic by Kelly Fox
Fox is an author for whom I’ll read everything released, even romances tropes I don’t particularly prefer. However, I think the “fated mates” concept works better for a novella-length story than a full novel, so it was even easier to spend an hour with this delightful re-release, originally published before I was a fan of … Continue reading Book Review: Bee Cave Magic by Kelly Fox
Book Review: Weave the Dark, Weave the Light by Anna Zabo
Disclaimer: I am friends with this author; however, I purchased this ebook for full price. A novella is a tricky length for a story, especially one that includes fantasy worldbuilding. However, Zabo does an amazing job with this sweet yet steamy romance between two unexpected characters. Jonathan is both something like a dream come true … Continue reading Book Review: Weave the Dark, Weave the Light by Anna Zabo
Review: Soulmates Series by Liv Rancourt
This post includes reviews of the currently available books in the Soulmates series: Soulmates (#1)Tested (#2) Soulmates (Book 1) One of the good things to come out of this crazy era we live in is the ability to connect with people we otherwise might not meet. I’d seen this book in my perusal of the … Continue reading Review: Soulmates Series by Liv Rancourt
Review: Cold Hard Ground (Carpe Noctem #1) by Ariel Millar
I am a huge fan of this author in her persona as a contemporary MM romance writer (E.M. Lindsey), so I immediately pounced on this book when it came out. Then I did that weird thing where I put off reading it, only to devour it in a single evening once I started. I’m not … Continue reading Review: Cold Hard Ground (Carpe Noctem #1) by Ariel Millar
Review: Hallowed Moon by Kelly Fox
Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this novella from the author. I had a lot of fun with this paranormal romance novella because it was a quick introduction to a fascinating new world with lots of possibilities. From the author's note at the beginning, it's obvious that Fox has close emotional ties with this … Continue reading Review: Hallowed Moon by Kelly Fox
Review: Blood in the Water by Kate Hawthorne & E.M. Denning
Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this book from the authors. This reaction didn’t happen when I read the previous co-written books by these authors, but it turns out when you combine Hawthorne’s steamy angst with Denning’s sweet feels and add a healthy dose of supernatural…you get tears. Like, all the tears. They’re good … Continue reading Review: Blood in the Water by Kate Hawthorne & E.M. Denning
Review: “Sanguine” by Sierra Simone
Simone packs a wallop into two short chapters in this excellent paranormal romance story. It appears pretty self-explanatory on the surface: vampire and priest meet, and sexy shenanigans ensue. However, Simone puts her own twist on how vampires work, the priest is not quite a priest, and the shenanigans are surprisingly humorous and sweet (along … Continue reading Review: “Sanguine” by Sierra Simone
Review: A Growl, a Roar, and a Purr (Lions & Tigers & Bears #1) by K. C. Wells
This book is a significant departure from other titles I’ve read by this author, but since my heart belongs to the urban fantasy genre, I knew I had to check it out. In this paranormal romance, Wells explores the shifter and fated mates tropes in this fun action-adventure romp that includes an epic heist and … Continue reading Review: A Growl, a Roar, and a Purr (Lions & Tigers & Bears #1) by K. C. Wells
Review: The Wimberley Chronicles by Kelly Fox
Wimberley has always been a source of curiosity for me after reading Fox’s Wrecked and Wrecked: Guardians series. It’s a private black ops program, it employs Hedy and the Bash Brothers, and other than that…your guess was as good as mine. It turns out, Fox initially wrote a book featuring the full story, then used … Continue reading Review: The Wimberley Chronicles by Kelly Fox
Review: A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer
I’m not sure what I expected of this book, but it was about a million times better than I anticipated. The characters, story, and situation were more exciting than I could have imagined, and it all packed an amazing emotional punch at the end. It’s one of those harder to categorize books: not quite a … Continue reading Review: A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer
Review: He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Sara Dobie Bauer
Disclaimer: I am friends with this author; however, I purchased this ebook for full price. Another Christmas in July treat, except this novella is less sweet and more vaguely terrifying. Bauer manipulates the Santa Claus trope to create an otherworldly being who fulfills the role of Santa Claus but with significantly less cheer. Kris latches … Continue reading Review: He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Sara Dobie Bauer
