New Nebraska Heat

Rate this book
Betrayed by her guardians. Defiled by monsters. Redeemed by love.

Among the fangs, claws, and haphazard magic of New Omaha, Serenity, a plucky and resilient human, struggles with memories of her horrendous past. Sold to a vampire feeding den at just fifteen, she suffered years of imprisonment, prey to the cruelest bloodsuckers in New Nebraska, like Conrad, a centuries old gangster who keeps his fangs deep in the drug trade.

Cast out onto the unforgiving streets when she’s deemed too old to be food, Serenity is dead set on leaving New Nebraska until four paranormal males give her tempting reasons to stay.

Hunter, the massive jaguar shifter with a fondness for philosophy, offers Serenity a humble but generously paid job at his nightclub, yearning to keep her safe. In such close proximity, he hopes to show her their connection is a bond worth fighting for.

His estranged twin brother, Dagger, a cop known for playing by his own rules, meets Serenity during his investigation into a deadly drug epidemic. But his plan to steal her away from his twin gets complicated when her past chases her down. Can he shield her against the monsters who would dare harm her?

Bryce, New Nebraska’s wealthiest billionaire, knows a relationship with the intriguing Serenity is impossible. As one of the more unfortunate fire elementals, his skin is untouchable. But his attempts to soothe his desire by sticking close to her and his best friend, Hunter, only bring him nearer an explosive moment of contact neither is prepared for.

Sebastian, her nerdy, caring, half-vampire colleague, establishes a telepathic connection that makes him certain she’s his fated mate, despite her contempt for vamps. What will happen when he discovers he’ll die without her blood too?

When Conrad resurfaces, eager to resume his mealtimes, her four paranormal protectors will have to overcome their differences and desires if they all want to share her life and love.

And keep her safe from ravenous fangs.

New Nebraska Heat is a reverse harem, multiple POV romance smoldering with detailed, spicy scenes.

Heat is the second installment of the New Nebraska series—STANDALONE romances set in the same world.

Wow! Another action-packed RH thriller from Cara B. King! Set in the same world as the other New Nebraska books, we meet Serenity, who has just escaped a vampire feeding den and is trying to make it on her own. She’s captured the eye of her new boss at the night club, who turns out to be genuinely a great guy. Along the way she meets some other pretty amazing, protective (and hot!) paranormal men. Despite its length, this book is a quick read. New Nebraska Heat is full of intrigue and mystery and has several slow burn romances but then becomes super spicy. 🔥 Check it out!

Serenity survives an unspeakable ordeal at the hands of vampires over several years. She is traumatized—that traumatization makes it extremely difficult to form intimate relationships—especially when one of her fated mates is the same species that tortured her for years. ‘New Nebraska Heat’ is a great read. It is dramatic, romantic, sexy sexy sexy, and full of nail biting excitement. I was kinda hoping Bryce and Sebastian would discover they could be close to Serenity at the same time, since they’re the biggest caregivers, but, oh well. It’s an awesome read anyway.

New Nebraska Heat by Cara B. King is the next book in her New Nebraska series. I’ve been a fan since the beginning. I’ve read both the prequel and the first book.

This book didn’t disappoint, though it felt like a slower burn romance for me than the other two books. The reason for the slower burn is apparent and makes sense though. Part of the reason I enjoy Ms. King’s books is that the plot also includes mystery and action. The books can be read as standalone stories, but I recommend reading them in order. This book does have a bit of a cliffhanger related to the series overarching plot, but there is an HEA for the romance.

I really enjoyed the distinctive characters and their interactions. I also appreciate that Ms. King included more than one type of paranormal character. Hunter and Dagger are shifters, Bryce is a fire elemental, and Sebastian is half vampire. It isn’t all sunshine and roses, there is violence and tragedy. The ARC (advance reader copy) I read didn’t include a trigger warning, but it may by the time the book is released and on sale.

Serenity is trying to turn her life around after years of cruel captivity by vampires.
Now it seems she's attracting powerful protectors, a fire elemental billionaire who can't be touched, a jaguar shifter nightclub owner and his estranged twin brother cop, and a sweet half vampire who can read her mind.
Serenity can't deny the attraction and pull she feels with all of them, but they'll have to work hard to lower her guard and win her heart.
This steamy RH paranormal romance explores fated mate bonds, unique gifts, and spicy connections.
I loved seeing the tension between estranged brothers Hunter and Dagger, the jealousy they both feel, the pressures from their jaguar sides, and how their personalities differ, but their goals align with claiming Serenity.
Bryce was charming and protective, and I liked seeing his vulnerable side, and longing for touch and connection.
I loved the telepathic bond between Seb and Serenity, and how she learns to accept her vampire mate, and overcome her past traumas.
It's multi Pov, slow burn with spice, and explores the complex world of paranormals.

This story hooked me from the very first page. Serenity, sold into a vampire feeding den at the age of fifteen and forced to endure years of horror, was not your typical heroine and that’s exactly what makes her so compelling. Her trauma is handled with care, and her struggle to trust, to open herself to intimacy, and to reclaim her own life adds a depth that makes the eventual romance all the more satisfying. And what a romance it is. Serenity doesn’t find just one fated mate—she finds four, each supernatural, each distinctive, and each capable of loving her in ways she never thought possible. There’s Hunter, the jaguar-shifter nightclub owner, whose quiet loyalty and steadfast patience make him impossible not to adore. His best friend Bryce, the fire elemental billionaire who literally can’t be touched, charming, warm, and aching for connection despite the power simmering beneath his skin. Then there’s Dagger, Hunter’s estranged twin, a detective with a wild and impulsive streak and a fierce protectiveness that comes out the moment he meets Serenity. And finally, Sebastian—sweet, nerdy, half-vampire Seb—whose telepathic bond with Serenity creates some of the most tender and emotional moments in the book. The relationship dynamics are rich and multilayered. I loved the complicated tension between Hunter and Dagger, the jealousy and jaguar instincts that constantly spark between them, and yet the shared devotion to Serenity that forces them to resolve their conflict. Bryce and Sebastian balance out the intensity, though their obsession with Serenity is no less fierce. Watching her slowly let them in, each one chipping away at her walls in their own way, is incredibly rewarding. But the book doesn’t rely solely on its romance. The plot is just as gripping. When Conrad, Serenity’s former tormentor reappears, the stakes skyrocket, forcing all four men to unite to protect the woman who has become their world. There is a perfect balance between high-octane action and emotional, character-driven scenes, keeping the story tense without overshadowing the relationships that anchor it. It’s not an easy journey; there’s violence, tragedy, and painful reminders of Serenity’s past, but every moment feels earned. Watching Serenity grow, reclaim her power, and finally find a future worth fighting for is worth every second. A dark, emotional, and deeply romantic read, this book delivers on both action and heart. If you love found family, fated mates, and heroines who rise from the ashes stronger than ever, this is an absolute must-read.

New Nebraska Heat by Cara B. King is the second book in the New Nebraska Series, and if you love the found family and the why choose trope, then you should definitely dig into this one.
The story begins with Serenity and her struggle to keep her head above water after escaping a vampire feeding den. Having been sold into the den at the young age of fourteen she lacks real world experience in everything. Having no options for work, she gets a job in a high end strip club. The experience helps get her on her feet and into her own space, but she struggles with the daily interactions with other paranormals, especially vampires. The only bright spot in her day is the owner of the club, Hunter, who helps her out in any way he can and understands she’s been through hell.

As things escalate in Serenity’s life, Hunter gets pulled in to protect her from the head vampire of the den she was trapped in. As the antagonist brings his plans to fruition, she gets wrapped up in Hunter’s life. She meets Bryce, a fire elemental; Dagger, Hunter’s twin brother and jaguar shifter; and Sebastion the half-blood vampire. The longer they are around each other, the more they realize there is something there. A connection that cannot be denied. Despite their differences, they work together for her. To protect her and to love her.

Things I loved:
• Hunter and Dagger help Serenity with her confidence and step into the person she wants to be.
• Her relationship with Bryce was so sweet. I loved that she was the only one who could touch him and how she absorbed some of his ability.
• Sebastion’s steadfast devotion to Serenity and his patience as she worked through the trauma she suffered at the hands of other vampires. He was beyond patient, and it paid off when she let it all go to trust him.
• It was so much fun to see Cecilia and her guys in this book, and how they formed a friendship based on mutual experiences.
• As a sucker of fated mates stories, I loved how they all discovered their mate status and the gifts that came with that soul bond.

Overall, New Nebraska Heat was a slow burn to spicy red-hot reverse harem. The story is filled with healing, sweet love, and found family. If you like reverse harem romance and shifter stories, you should give this story a read.

When Serenity accepts a job from Hunter, she needs it desperately. Hunter is attracted to Serenity as soon as he sees her, but he doesn't act on it because he knows that she is fleeing someone or something. He'll be the friend that she needs, for now. When she needs more money and he sees what she can do, he asks his friend Bryce if he can help her out.

When Bryce meets Serenity for the first time, he is captivated by her. He knows he can't offer her the job because of this. But that soon changes when he sees her at Hunter's club.

Seb is introduced to Serenity initially through his mother, but when she realises what he is, she makes excuses to get as far away from him as possible. However, that will soon change when she meets him again, and she finds out, they'll be working closely together.

Dagger, Hunter's estranged twin brother, comes into contact with her as he is the Detective working on the drug case. Again, he is someone else who is instantly drawn to Serenity.

Fated mates are highly rare and something to be cherished, but normally, it only involves one partner, unless twins are involved. But in this case, the men soon find out that all four have a connection with Serenity. Serenity is hoping to be able to save enough money so she can leave the county behind. After what she has been through, she wants as many miles between her and Conrad, just in case he is still looking for her. She tries to keep her attraction to the men in check, but the attraction and feelings deepen. Can she walk away from them?

There is also something happening within the bonds when they are around Serenity. Is this just a coincidence? All four have to deal with their own feelings towards each other and Serenity, how the four of them can make this work going forward, or will jealousy cause the bond to fracture?.

Serenity is a human living in New Omaha, a paranormal city. After years of unimaginable suffering trapped in a vampire feeding den, she is cast out for being “too old” and begins trying to rebuild her life and escape the city. In the process, she catches the attention of four captivating and protective paranormal men.

Hunter, a jaguar shifter who runs a high-end nightclub, is stoic, fiercely loyal, and instantly devoted to Serenity, offering her a job and introducing her to his billionaire best friend Bryce, a fire elemental with a kind, grounded nature. Bryce is the ultimate good guy, but he carries the burden of an unusual affliction that makes his skin untouchable, giving him a deep sense of loneliness. Dagger, Hunter’s estranged twin and a police detective investigating a deadly new drug, is wild and impulsive yet immediately drawn to Serenity, and would do anything for her. And then there’s Sebastian, a sweet, nerdy half-vampire who recognises Serenity as his mate the moment he meets her. Given her past with vampires, she initially struggles to accept him, creating an interesting dynamic as their connection grows.

When Serenity’s former tormentors resurface, all four men must learn to work together to protect their new mate. The story was well written and thoroughly enjoyable. Each of the four men is given enough focus to feel distinct and real, and I loved watching both their individual arcs and their relationships with Serenity develop. The balance between action and romance was spot-on, and it was especially rewarding to see Serenity slowly come out of her shell.

NEW NEBRASKA HEAT is the second full-length novel in the New Nebraska series, and features a new quintet of Serenity, Hunter, Bryce, Sebastian, and Dagger.

Serenity escaped from a vampire's den, traumatised and scarred in more ways than one. She gets a job at Hunter's nightclub, but applies for a job as a designer at Bryce's company. She meets Sebastian through his mum, and Dagger through an ongoing case. All four men feel a connection with Serenity, but all four also take it slowly and carefully, taking into consideration her past.

This is a long book, but well-paced, with plenty of action going on, as well as slower, softer times, where Serenity and her men get to know each other. I loved the game of Truth or Dare, especially Dagger's dare at the end. I was hoping that because of the bond, Bryce would be able to touch others too, not just Serenity, but it doesn't seem that way.

One big plus for me was getting to see Cece and her men again. It was a delight catching up with them, and I'm glad Cece and Serenity are friends.

The overall storyline in this book has more of an ongoing arc to it, and I wonder if Jasper and the new human will play a part in the next book, or if it will go in a different direction.

This was a hot, caring, and action-filled story that kept my attention from beginning to end. Absolutely recommended by me.

Oh my gaaaaaawd!!!!!! I LOOOOVE these!!!!!!

This is the second in the series that I’ve read and this one was even better than the last!!!!

First, FYI, TW of trauma/abuse, (although this was vampire on human abuse, I think the trauma aspect would still transfer🙄☹️)

If you’re cool reading about that…this book is SOOO worth your time!!!

It has everything, tons of action, suspense, mystery and of course loads of sexy love and beautiful found family. I would say it’s a slow burn but there’s so much going on it doesn’t feel tortuous.

It’s an urban dystopian world where paranormals of all kinds (except the fae, who can live elsewhere) are confined to New Nebraska, and most humans that lived there left. Serenity gathers 4 supernaturals to her and the connection between each of them and her is beautiful but complicated. There is so much healing, for Serenity and each of her men, it’s really well done, showing the reader what is really important in life, and the importance of grabbing happiness where you can.

I absolutely adored each of her men, they were so unique but each perfect for Serenity regardless.

Serenity herself is amazing, kind and brave despite the crappy hand she was healthy and the trauma she suffered.

LOVED IT!!!!!!.

This was another action packed addition to the series and I will say that despite it's size, you'll find yourself flying through the pages and thinking it's a lot shorter than it actually is ;) Serenity is a human gal who's escaped a terrible existence in a vampire feeding den. Now, she's rebuilding her life and looking to get out of New Nebraska. Ha! Her boss, Hunter, is a jaguar shifter with more than his eye on her. His best friend Bryce, a fire elemental that cannot be touched, is also eyeing her intensely. And Sebastian, a vampire hybrid realizes she's his mate when they get a psychic connection. Oh, and lets not forget Dagger, Hunter's estranged twin brother that can't wait to get his hands on her, too ;P This starts off looking like your 'average' RH read but it's filled with jealousy, angst, danger, unique gifts, trust, emotions, slow burn romance and hot spice. These five have a lot to go through but their journey was fascinating and engaging. I was rooting hard for Serenity to recover enough from her trauma to see Seb's sweetness, Bryce's devotion, Hunter's protection and Dagger's bad boy playfulness. They were awesome together and I loved the twists, surprises and hot HEA. So good and I'm definitely looking forward to the next book ;D

Serenity may be a human, but her soul speaks to Hunter, a jaguar shifter, and he’s protecting her fiercely! I’m loving this PNR world, why choose romance, sizzling chemistry, and fated mates series that Cara B King has created. Nonstop drama, attraction, dangerous villains, and suspense that makes me crave even more! Serenity collects mates while struggling to overcome her trauma and triggers. Hunter, his twin Jagger, Bryce, and Seb have a tremendous amount of patience and are so supportive of her that I cried for them, laughed with them, and raged at her vampire attackers.
Bryce is a fire elemental who is untouchable until Serenity and the heat from them together is scary at first, but trust made all the difference. Seb is a nerdy vampire, but he’s such a sweetheart that she learns to trust him as well. Jagger and his brother have issues, but their mate is much more important! I love the magical mystery of her men becoming more as they interact with her, the suspense and action kept me guessing, and the love they feel is so beautiful and powerful! I can’t wait for more from this series!.

At 15, Serenity was sold to a vampire feeding den by the foster parents who took her in after her parents were killed. At 22, after being released for being too old to be food, Serenity is trying to put together the pieces of her life, and overcome her scars - physical and emotional.

Her plan is to earn enough to get out of New Nebraska, but four paranormal guys might just give her a reason to stay. Two jaguar shifters, an elemental and a half-vampire - oh my! Why choose just one, when she can have them all?

When one of her feeding den captors, Conrad, resurfaces and tries to make Serenity his personal blood bag, her four paranormal paramours will have to put their differences and jealousies aside if they want to save Serenity. One for four and four for one and all that!


New Nebraska Heat is a reverse harem, multiple POV romance that keeps you turning the pages to see who (and what) happens next!

Sweet RH Romance with a fire elemental, two jaguar shifters and a half vampire

Serenity had escaped the vampire feeding den she'd been sold to by her foster parents and was now wary of all paranormals. She'd been working for Hunter in his club for a while and they had become friends. She'd like to earn enough to fund leaving New Nebraska but after meeting Bryce for a job interview on Hunter's suggestion she finds herself becoming good friends with him too; leading to feelings developing for both of them.

There's also Hunter's twin brother who is his complete opposite (a tattooed police detective) who just wants to claim her as his own, away from his twin who he knows is also her mate; and her new work colleague Sebastian, paired with her by Bryce, who can hear her thoughts just as she can hear his.

It was great to watch her build bonds with all four of these men, and see the friendships become strong relationships. But can they find a way to work together and protect her from the vampires who ran the den she'd escaped and who want her back?

A great storyline with a sweet slow-build RH romance with 4 paranormals who are all loyal, caring, romantic, sweet and protective. Told from POVs of Serenity, Hunter, Bryce, Dagger and Sebastian, the action is fast paced with escaping captivity, drama, plenty of banter and humor, twists, romance and love. It was easy and fun to read and I absolutely loved this and hope there will be another in the series.

New Nebraska Heat really does bring the heat. One, in the sexy hookups between the characters, and in the way the villain of the story is destroyed (and that's all I'll say about that).


Serenity goes from worrying about her next meal to having a home and four loving guys to take care of her. At first it's unbelievable and awkward to the characters that they all feel a strong connection with Serenity, but they soon learn to work together to protect and love her.


Now the bad guy, Conrad the vampire scum, is doing everything in his power to tear apart Serenity's newfound happiness. But trust me, he gets his in the end and it's so satisfying!


New Nebraska Heat is the third book by Cara B. King that takes place in New Nebraska. However, these books are standalone stories. If you enjoy books with paranormals, vampires, humans, and elementals all mixed together in one world, you should definitely check out King’s books.

What an amazing story. Serenity is a human that was used a food for a den of vampires for seven years. When she comes face to face to Conrad at her job she has Hunterand his best friend, Bryce, decide that she would be safer staying with Hunter as they search for him. Hunter and Bryce are both shifters and in the next few days she will meet Sebastian and Dagger who are also shifters that know that she is their mate. The men will all protect Serenity as they look for Conrad and his den. This book is full of suspense, danger, strong emotions that need to be courted, and end with a happy ending. I enjoyed reading this book.

What a great read.

Our heroine is scarred by her past, literally. She meets a guy who gives her a job and slowly she accepts her new life.

But it does not stop there, she meets his friend, the son of her colleague and her boss' twin.

To her amazement she is attracted to them all, and the 4 are convinced she is their fated mate.

Throw in racial prejudice against humans and half breeds, a creepy enemy and his creepy gang, twins with a difficult past, uncanny abilities heightened by the bond and steam... o, soooo much steam...

Absolute mustread.

New Nebraski Heat focuses on Human Serenity (FMC) who has been left traumatised after being sold off as a child by her Guardians to be sued by Vampires. After escaping that life and starting this new one Serenity is working in a club owned by Jaguar - Hunter. A sweet guy that has a crush on her. His billionaire friend - Bryce offers her a job but his problem is his dangerous touch (it's life threatening) brought on all sorts of problems. More so with one endearing Vampire - Seb and Hunter's brother - Dagger. All of which brought up all kinds of great plot twists and turns as well as plenty of steamy scenarios. Add to that a gripping backstory that definitely drew me. A cracking read.

This is part of the New Nebraska world, but each book is a standalone with its own HEA and can be enjoyed on its own

The plot was intriguing, exciting, suspenseful and well paced. World building was excellent and impressive. The characters were what drove the story and they were very compelling, complex, complicated and totally perfect together. Look forward to more from this world. Enjoyed immensely and thoroughly and highly recommend.

Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

This might be even better then the first book I've read but this is a standalone with new characters. Serenity just escaped a horrible place of feeding vampires and now she lands herself a job in a night club. Her boss seems a great guy and along the way she meets more supernatural guys that turn out to be amazing guys. They are protective and dare I say hot. Love the fact it is a larger book but it is written so it keeps you with the story and you keep turning pages easily. Highly recommend reading this book!

This story has everything. Serenity was sold to a vampire bleeding den at 14 and now that's she's free she's doing her best to come to terms with that. But there's a vampire out that who doesn't want to let her go. Even as long as it is it's fast paced and action packed and Serenity ends up having 4 paranormal hot alpha's to help her become the woman she is. It's a slow burn but when the steam hits it hits hard. I'm loving these stand alone New Nebraska stories. Excellent RH read.

Cara King has become a one click author of mine. Her books are always filled with action packed suspense and romance, and this one is certainly “filled”- pun intended. A bit of a slower burn than the other, it was not lacking in the steam department, nor was King’s attention to detail. Highly recommend this series if you like RH, vampires, pnr, mystery, and romance. Once you pick it up you will not be able to put it down! Note: it can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading in conjunction with first book: New Nebraska Lessons.

Seriously slow burn, and with 4? it feels like it takes FOREVER to finally get there. Is it worth it in the end? Each reader will have to decide for herself. Did I want to throttle and spank the MC's in turns? Of course. Nothing says sizzly-slow-burn more than muttering "Oh, COME ON!!!" at least once or twice per chapter. But overall? I'd say it's worthy of a place on your TBR list.

This is book 2 in this series. It’s not exactly necessary to read book 1, but I would highly recommend it. In this book we meet Serenity, Bryce, the twins Hunter and dagger and Seb. The characters are all lovable and the story flows beautifully! They do get their HEA but there is quite a ride to get there! Highly recommend!! I can not wait to see what happens in the next book.

This was such an original and intriguing plot. I really liked Serenity and each of her men. I also liked that they were different paranormal creatures.
I loved seeing the relationships develop between Serenity and each of her mates.
The challenges, banter, and learning to work together.
In addition, this book had drama, danger, action, some mystery, and steam.
Overall, I think this was a great read!

Rounded up to four

It's a charming story, but I didn't like one of her mates who lied to het, put her in danger, and rushed into a situation without backup. He didn't act like a mate who put her first, and was trying to steal her from the others. Everyone blew it off because no one died. Its a matter of personal taste that I mention for readers who would feel the same way. It also felt a little stiff to me, but again, that is my opinion.

New Nebraska is a stand alone series and this is the third book in the series.

Serenity is a human who was sold to a vampire den at a young age. She fears vampires and is trying hard to leave New Nebraska but then her boss Hunter and his friend Bryce take her in when the vamps she escaped resurface and try to ruin her. Enter half vampire, Sebastian, who she now works with and is slightly afraid of. Lastly is Hunter's estranged brother, Dagger who is investigating her. Can these five end up making things work? Does Serenity end up leaving New Nebraska in the end? What disasters await these characters?

Loved this book. It was a little slow in parts but all in all it was amazingly written with great plot and character development. Loved every second of this book.

This Book 2 in The New Nebraska Book Series has an intriguing Reverse Harem, Shifter Romance with unique and resilient characters. This story has believable interactions with past abuse and trauma. I enjoyed this book with all of the mystery, love, instant attraction, lust, passion and a well-crafted world. These characters have amazing chemistry, lies, danger, healing, complications, connections and their growing relationship throughout the story.

This was a wonderful story. I couldn't put it down. I loved every second of it. I was caught up in the action from the first page. I couldn't wait to see what happened to Serenity, Hunter, Dagger, Bryce, and Sebastian. Serenity is trying to get out of New Nebraska and her past. When she meets the four men, they slowly change her mind about leaving. Will they get their happily ever?

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
