Darke Paranormal Investigations #1 Darke Passion Rosanna Leo - New Release

Darke Paranormal Investigations #1
Darke Passion
Rosanna Leo

Edwina Darke is one of a trio of ghost-hunting sisters who rid clients of their unwanted supernatural visitors. A badass by nature, Edwina doesn’t run from haunted houses—she runs into them. Yet no matter how many “ghosts” she debunks, she remains troubled by a demon from her own past.

Simon Teal is the co-owner of a historic B&B in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, a town famous for its connection to the 1812 War. Simon doesn’t believe in the spirit world, but something is chasing his customers away, so he reluctantly allows the Darke sisters to investigate.

As the team uncovers the star-crossed love behind the B&B haunting, Edwina and Simon’s attraction flares. It’s the last thing either of them needs. The dedicated Edwina refuses to lose herself in another relationship, and Simon is still reeling from a terrible betrayal.

When a darker presence reveals itself, triggering their protective instincts, Edwina and Simon succumb to temptation. But the evil entity has taken an interest in them, and if they don’t solve the mystery, someone new could end up going “into the light.”

And it could be one of them.

Review

Romance, ghosts and a great story.

This book grabbed me from the description and lived up to my hopes.

Simon and Connie have a ghost problem so they ask the Darke sisters for help. The Darke sisters are Edwina our leading lady in this book, Addeilade and Susannah. Susannah is not much of a feature but Addeilade is very interesting and strong, as is Edwina.

Simon just wants peace in his b&b so hopes the Darke sisters will help him achieve this. Spending so much time investigating Edwina and Simon grow close (no cheating, as Connie is a business partner!). The pair of them are cute but definitely have a spark.

The ghost story is intriguing, and I enjoyed it. It seemed a bit risky at times though!

The character development was fab, Simon had a story and Edwina most certainly does, I was surprised where hers went.

The climax of the book was spot on.

Great read.

Zoe Forward 

They are the ultimate weapon. The ultimate secret. They are the Crown’s wolves.

Lycan Roman Lanzo and his brothers are bound—by magic, no less—to serve the Crown of England. All he knows is honor, violence, blood, magic, and death. Which is exactly when he finds her.

My Review

An exciting and intriguing new PNR series.

Oh I liked this one, the start was intriguing, I then took to the characters and was hooked.

We have a woman called Nova who has a mission to do, but no memory of why. Then there's Roman a Lycanthrope who is cursed to serve the crown or suffer. These two collide at the start of the story.

This is book 1 in a series, there's enough back story so you have an understanding of their world, the author fits worldbuilding in along the storyline so it doesn't feel like an information overload.

I really liked the storyline, there's a mystery, action, preternatural creatures, and romance. I liked how they are lycans are, not werewolves. The story gets very hectic near the end, but I kept up and enjoyed it.

The pull between Roman and Nova was there along with emotion, I even teared up a little!

Flynn, Evie, Dom, and Antonia are some of the other characters and I liked them all, the author makes you want to know more about them.

Looking forward to the next book, will it be Flynn's story or just a continuous story. I'm hoping for Flynn's story!

4.5 stars

New Release and Review - Makeshift Mate (Bad Alpha Dads, Meet Your Alpha) Alpha Singles Series

Makeshift Mate (Bad Alpha Dads, Meet Your Alpha)
Alpha Singles Series

“This single father gig isn't so hard. Not hard at all. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, really. It's been a breeze! Or so I thought.”

When Alpha Locke Winfield’s pack decided it was time for him to step up and take care of his own child for once, his whole life turned upside down. Too busy for tea parties and ballet recitals, he hadn’t realized his daughter, Sara, was no longer a little girl. And preteens, he was learning, were a whole other breed.

Locke needed a woman. One who could do more than take care of his daughter. He couldn’t remember the last time a woman had taken care of him. Which was why he joined the online dating site, Alpha Singles.

Sara needed a mother. And Locke needed a mate. ASAP.

There were thousands of women out there. Surely he could find one who was willing to take on a workaholic Alpha Wolf and his moody preteen daughter.

Review

This story is about Locke, the Alpha of a wolf pack, and Isa the human business woman. 

Locke is a little moody, his a busy man with a daughter and a pack to run. When the pack do an intervention on him for being a 'bad dad' his forced to do something drastic - join an online dating site.

Isa is very successful in her business and works hard, she would like some love in her life and joined the site Alpha Singles.

Locke and Isa are a match by the computer but could they be in real-life? 

I thought Locke came across a bit draconian to begin with, looking for a woman to care for his daughter, cook and clean. Isa isn't impressed by his ideas either, but when he meets Isa things change for him.

The story is an enjoyable easy read.  The characthers are engaging and the storyline keeps you turning pages. I will be adding next book onto my TBR list.

Scroll down to find details of the prequel to this series.

Review Post - Blood Guard (Mission #1) by Megan Erickson

Blood Guard (Mission #1)

by Megan Erickson 

Enter a world of immortal danger and desire—and discover an incredible fate borne of blood.

Tendra: One minute, I’m a bartender in gritty Mission City; the next, I’m whisked away by a vampire named Athan who tells me that I’m the lifeblood of his clan. It sounds unbelievable, but he’s got evidence I can’t deny. Turns out, Athan belongs to an underground society of vampires who feed only on humans with their consent. Their enemies have no such qualms, and they want me dead. The only thing standing in their way is strong, sexy Athan. And the closer we get, the more tempted I am to let Athan feed. . . .

Athan: How could I have known when I snatched this snarky, beautiful human off the streets that she would change mydestiny? As a loyal soldier, I must deliver Tendra to our future king—my brother. Empowered with the blood of ten generations of the Gregorie breed, she is fated to rule as our queen. But there’s something between us that’s so intoxicating, so carnal, I can’t help wanting Tendra for myself . . . even if it’s treason.

MY REVIEW

Tendra is main female lead and she is okay, she has spirit and personality and adapts well to what is in her path. She has recently lost her mother and is on her own, she doesn't have many acquaintances or friends as they have always been on the move - at the start of the story she finds out why she has always moved around

Athan is a vampire, his strong and on a mission to protect his people, he just happens to be a prince but he is also the Blood Guard, he is destined to bring the precious cargo home to be a saviour for the vamps.

The world building is interesting and there is plenty of scope to build the world as the journey back to vampires stronghold is a major part of the story. Some of the characthers are very interesting and the nightclub sounds fun, if you know what you're in for when visiting it lol. There are of course baddies and twists here and there.

Athan and Ten develop a relationship on the journey back and I loved them as a couple, they didn't rush right in, they got to know each other over a few days before the heat turns up. 

For a first in series it's a winner and I will happily read more in this series.

3.75 stars - strong start to a series

Aloha Shifters New series from Anna Lowe - Book 1 Lure of the Dragon

Lure of the Dragon (Aloha Shifters: Jewels of the Heart, #1) 

by Anna Lowe 

BLURB

Aloha Shifters - Jewels of the Heart: Book 1

Good dragons? Bad dragons? Twenty-four hours ago, private chef Tessa Byrne didn’t know about the terrifying world of shifters. Now she knows too much, like the fact that a ruthless dragon lord is determined to claim her — forever. Tessa flees to Maui, where sunny skies, swaying palms, and a handsome stranger conspire to play tricks with her heart. Can she truly trust Kai Llewellyn and his band of battle-hardened shapeshifters to save her from a gruesome fate?

"Don’t trust a human, and never, ever fall in love with one." Those are lessons Kai learned the hard way. But Tessa is different. Her emerald eyes mirror the mysterious pendant she wears, and her flaming red hair makes his heart race. Is his inner dragon just greedy for a new kind of treasure, or is Tessa his destined mate?

ARC REVIEW

Set on a beautiful island with some beautiful men/shifters.

I thought of doing a statement/joke like 'what do you get when a wolf, dragon, bear and a tiger meet in a bar' - an entertaining start to a new series -but they don't meet in a bar they live in a book and in the book they live together and know each other well from serving in the forces - but sod it leaving it in! 

I loved the mixture of shifters, something for everyone. the author has given each a different personality, to tease us into wanting more. 

Kai is hot - literally hot, he's a dragon but he is also hot looking too as are most shifters. He recognises his mate straight away.

Tessa is running from a scary shifter. she is scared but settles quickly into the shifters home. She's a fiery charatcher, doesn't like being told what to do. She feels connected Kai.

Okay its fated mates, so feelings move quickly. 

It is not the longest of books (200 pages) so can read in one night if you're like me.

I enjoyed this story and the setup for future books.

Will be adding book 2, wonder which shifter it will be about!
