Posted March 25, 2023 by Marsha in ARC, NetGalley ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Billionaire wolf Derek Spencer may have a rocky history with she-wolves, but there’s no one better to take as his date to the latest gala than the wolf he’s had his eye on ever since she applied to be his bodyguard—the remarkable Kate Hanover. Kate checks all the boxes for his perfect mate: she’s smart, sexy, and business savvy, not to mention one of the best bodyguards around.

But ever since Derek gave his bodyguard position to another wolf, Kate has been avoiding him. It’s only when she reluctantly agrees to be his date to the gala that she realizes why: the attraction between the two alpha wolves is undeniable, but Kate doesn’t want to end up as one of the billionaire’s many flings. The more time Kate and Derek spend together, the more they are in danger…of falling deeply in love.

War Bear of Piston by T. S. Joyce

Posted March 13, 2023 by Marsha in Owned, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

Something terrible has happened to Foster. Ghosts from his Alpha’s past have used him as an unwitting pawn in their game of revenge. He is a werewolf who was forced to dig up something evil that has changed the makeup of who he is. His wolf has been replaced with a titan bear who has little memory of his past, and now Foster and his new shifter animal, Biergon, must go on an adventure to try and figure out where they belong. He can’t go back to Stryker’s Pack, but never in a million years would Foster have guessed he would end up in the wilds of Alaska, right in the middle of a war for power. And the craziest part about it? His new inner bear is the former King, and he has a mate waiting for his return. The bear Clans of Alaska exist in a completely different world than the one he recognizes, and all the rules are different…including the rules regarding mates. The bears in these Clans need to be taught some manners, and as Foster gets to know the fierce and beguiling queen he has been paired with, he begins to think he is exactly the shifter to do it.

A few months ago, Jaydah lost her mate, Biergon. In just a few short days, her mourning period will be finished, and she will be promised to another. But when she sees the stranger with Biergon’s eyes on the banks of her river, she knows something horrible has happened. There are legends of shifters switching animals, but she’s never seen one before, and now? Biergon is different. He is kinder and more protective. His new human side is making her feel like love matches do exist—but if she helps Biergon take his throne back, she will be punished for treason against the bears in her Clan who are fighting to be the new king. Until now, she has had no say in her destiny, but for the first time ever, someone…Foster…is listening to her. And if he can find it in his heart to grant her enough power, together they can change everything for her people.

Everly Jones is visiting Crescent Creek with her boyfriend for the weekend.

Laney Henry thought she was emailing the man she was hired to interpret nightmares for, but she was wrong. Instead, the big, burly biker doesn’t know why she’s standing in his motorcycle clubhouse. Not one to walk away from a challenge, Laney knows if she can get his walls down, she can figure out what’s troubling him and help.

But a pack in disarray brings challenges, and when those challenges threaten Laney, Blade knows he must step up and protect the woman his wolf has chosen—even if it means tossing pack rules out the window.

Forbidden Midlife Mate by Meg Ripley

Posted January 5, 2023 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

When my husband ran off with our saloon’s hostess, I packed my bags and left Montana, joining my college-aged son in Oregon.

Eugene’s a far cry from my little hometown, but I’m doing my best to blend in with the locals.  I grabbed my new fitness tracker and headed out for a jog.  Deep into the trail, I thought I stumbled upon some hippies until they changed into wolves.  And the moment I screamed, they set their sights on me.  I ran for my life until my clumsy ass tripped and blacked out.

Now I’m waking up on a handsome stranger’s couch, with no recollection of what I’d just seen.  Rex is intimidating and a little rough around the edges.  But something about him sets me on fire.  And when I land a job, and he ends up being my boss, he awakens something deep inside me, and it’s not just another hot flash.

Too bad Rex is the only one who wants me around.  My coworkers at the rock club have it in for me, and when they threaten me after work one night, a nightmare comes to life before my very eyes.  In mere seconds, they shift from men to snarling wolves.

But I realize that nightmare is just beginning when I look down at my trembling hands… and see snow-white paws instead.

He shouldn’t be here.

Reaper used to have a life, and friends, and a close-knit Pack. He was Stryker. Even if he was a War Wolf, his life made sense. When he died, something evil needed him to cheat death. A powerful storm is building around him because Reaper has been brought back to life for a nightmare destiny. He’s been controlled by an underserving Alpha before, and he is done being a pawn in the game of good and evil. From here on, Reaper will do whatever he wants.

Isa Moreau is his only anchor.

She is the only one who can save Reaper’s new Pack from him. She is the only one who can save Reaper from himself, but Fate sure is hard to fight, and especially for a she-wolf who is dropped in the middle of a battle she didn’t know existed.

She’s learning that there are two sides to the Zombie Wolf of Piston… One with the capacity to learn love, and one with the ability to destroy everything.

Reaper must choose between good and evil, once and for all, and he must protect a Pack that betrayed him to do it.

Witches, werewolves, and ghosts are pulling the Zombie Wolf in different directions, and no one really knows where he will land. 

Will he be a good Zombie Wolf? Or the Zombie Wolf everyone loves to hate?
