Fury and The Dragon by Sloane Meyers

Posted August 23, 2017 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

For Wizard Advocate Violet Sanwick, the last several months have been anything but ordinary. She’s gone from a cushy office job to fighting on the front lines of a major war against evil. Some days, she isn’t sure if she can handle it all. Still, her new gig as a soldier has its perks—mainly, that she gets to hang out with Weston Pars, a sexy dragon shifter who’s just as witty as he is handsome. She and Weston have developed a deep friendship during their time together in the Falcon Cross Army, but Violet is determined not to let things go any further. After all, there’s a war going on. When she and Weston get into a huge fight about the best way to attack their powerful nemesis, Violet knows she made the right choice in avoiding romance. But Weston isn’t going to dismiss the chemistry between them so easily… 

Dragon shifter Weston Pars has never met a woman who could drive him as crazy as Violet does—in both good and bad ways. Violet is beautiful, smart, and fun, but Weston can’t stand the way she thinks she knows more about war than him. After all, he’s the one who’s been fighting all his life, while she spent her days behind a desk. But when Violet turns out to be right about a huge battle, and Weston almost loses her in the process, he’s forced to admit that his feelings for her run deeper than he thought. He decides he’s going to win her heart over completely, but she’s decided they can’t make things work in the middle of war’s chaos. Challenge accepted. Weston begins to relentlessly pursue Violet’s affections, but, just as Violet predicted, war makes things difficult. With life or death battles a constant theme of their days, it’s hard to find time alone with Violet. So when Weston sees a chance to run straight into enemy territory with only Violet by his side, he jumps on it. He’ll have the chance to impress Violet and destroy Saul’s strongest secret weapon, all in one shot. It’s the perfect opportunity—as long as they both make it out alive. 

Will Weston be able to keep Violet safe and win her heart over while behind enemy lines?

Binge Reading – Pros & Cons

Posted August 23, 2017 by Marsha in Shifter Haven Discussion / 0 Comments

Sometimes I will get really caught up in a series and not want to wait on starting the next book.  I don’t think I’m alone in that.  So instead of stopping taking the time to write up a review… I simply dive in to the next story until I’ve finished an entire series back to back.  Which is great for submerging myself in another world… not so great for timely reviews.

Over the course of four months or so I’d binge read four long series back to back.  Reviewed only the beginnings of them.  Now I’m faced with going back and reviewing three of those long series (I finally got one of them completed).  It’s not that I didn’t love them, I did, so much so that I didn’t want to leave that world.

But never again will I binge read in that fashion.  I’ll read them back to back if they’re long, older series that I want to get caught up on, that’s not an issue.  I will, however, take the time to review as each one is finished.  I won’t make that mistake again.  Now I’m left with stories that I absolutely loved and now feel guilty about not reviewing each at the time I read them.  So, no.  Not gonna happen that way again.

It’s true that I’m not one bit afraid to start (at the beginning) of older series.  I do my best to keep up to date with ongoing series and review new releases in a timely fashion for I know the value of reviews to authors.  Yet when it means that I have to start two or more years ago in order to understand an entire series that I haven’t read a word about yet, then yes I’ll go back to the very first book. (and that is true for any of my genre specific blogs not just Shifters)  The only exception to that are NetGalley reviews, those have a time frame that must be held to no matter what.

Any other binge readers out there?  How do you read several stories in a series?  I won’t give up falling into an author’s universe, but I will take the time to review each book right after reading in the future.  But like chocolate, I don’t think I can totally give up binge reading.  Nope, not gonna happen.

Posted August 21, 2017 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Bear-shifter and embassy guard Hector Gorchan expected that finding his mate would be an unforgettable moment, the experience of a lifetime. It’s what he was told growing up. Now that he’s an adult though, he’s realized a new truth: If his mate is a human, everything is going to be different. So when fate conspires to show him his mate in the form of the short, pregnant woman with the pink hair, he knows he’ll have to approach things differently, taking it slow so as not to scare her and her child away.

Rachel’s life has been busy since her arrival in Cloud Lake. She’s dedicated her time to setting up various support groups for the women victimized by the hideous Institute. They’re all dealing with the same issue, and she figures that having others to share their experiences with is the best thing they’ll get. It’s all she expected to have, until Hector walked into her life and stole her heart.

But just as their relationship begins to take off, they hit a patch of unexpected turbulence. A fire at the Cadian shifter embassy in Cloud Lake has left Hector in a world of trouble that threatens to engulf Rachel with it. The circumstances behind it are sketchy and coincidental as all hell, but why would anyone be out to harm him? Things only get worse when an order comes down recalling him to Cadia. Permanently. Can he find a way to fix his situation, or will fate rip their bond apart before they realize it’s there?

Her UnBearable Protector by Reina Torres

Posted August 19, 2017 by Marsha in Howls Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

The head of Orsino Security was hired to protect her for a week. Instead, his bear wants to claim her forever. 

It takes one look for bear shifter Salvatore Orsino to know that Natale Durante isn’t just his client… she’s his mate. His first instinct is to lay Natale’s curvaceous body over his shoulder, find a den, and claim her with his bite. But, this beautiful head-strong woman only grudgingly endures his protection even as she welcomes him in her bed. He’ll have to set aside his bear’s need to mark her until he’s eliminated the threat to her life. Once she’s safe, he’ll turn all his energies convincing her that he isn’t after a short-term dalliance, he wants her, with him… forever. 

Natale Durante knows that Durante Fashion House is on its last legs. Her new line, designed for women of every size and shape, is her last attempt at saving her family’s legacy. But there are those in high fashion who prefer that things stay the same—curves belong on the road, not the runway. When complaints and hate mail escalate to threats of bodily harm, her father hires a bodyguard—Salvatore Orsino. He’s over six feet of deliciously seductive muscular male and a distraction she can’t afford. One look from him and she wants her infuriatingly persistent protector to rip off her clothes with his teeth, or she might do the same to him.

Ansel by Selena Scott

Posted August 17, 2017 by Marsha in Shifter Series / 0 Comments

She only wanted to find her brother. Finding a true mate definitely wasn’t part of the plan! 

Ruby didn’t care. She cared about nothing. Her brother was gone. Just like her parents were gone. 

And she definitely didn’t need a man, let alone an alpha bear shifter. But Ruby felt the strangest feeling rise up within her. It was like she was filling and emptying at the exact same moment. Half of her, the half that had spent the last year almost entirely alone, wanted Ansel Keto. The other half needed him to get on his way. It didn’t do much to keep her heart rate down, though, which always seemed to beat out of control whenever Ansel was around. Something about him just had her on high alert. 

And little did Ansel know that by claiming his true mate he would be opening the gates to a whole new world. A world of passion, of love, and ultimately survival,

Heartsridge Shifters: Nate by Olivia Arran

Posted August 16, 2017 by Marsha in Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Bear shifter Nate Dean is the joker of team South-One. The prankster. The one without a dozen skeletons hidden in his closet. He is what he is, and that’s always been good enough, until now. Now he needs to be more. To step up and be the person his fated mate needs him to be. He knows he can be the man to heal Heather’s heart, to show her exactly how a woman should be treated and introduce her to a life filled with laughter. 

She needed time. Space. 

But he’s willing to wait forever, if that’s what it takes for her to realize he’s not going anywhere, that he’d never, ever hurt her. That they’re meant to be together. 

Heather Hastings is adjusting to life as a widow. A part of her feels guilty for not grieving her husband’s death, but after everything Toby put her through—the years of abuse, not to mention the endless lies—she can’t bring herself to miss him. In reality, the only thing thing she owes him is a huge thank you for bringing her to Heartsridge, somewhere she’d like to call home. She has real friends for the first time, her son is happy, and there’s a certain man who makes her toes curl and laughter break free from the void inside her chest. 

It’s second chance at life. A chance to make her own decisions and carve a place in the world. Though she’s only ever known the dark side of a man’s love before, Nate is a man carved from honor and integrity. His large, muscular body and sinful eyes have all kinds of naughty thoughts popping into her head, often at completely inappropriate times. If she can find a way to let go, take another chance on love, she could have the life she’s always dreamed of. But is she willing to risk her heart again? 

When a friend is put in jeopardy and harsh truths are uncovered, the real danger to the town is finally revealed. Heather has some tough decisions to make and Nate has to come to terms with reality: he can’t protect his mate from everything … though he’s willing to risk everything and try.
