This box set is a paranormal readers dream. You get shifters, fallen angels, witches and much more all in five full length books from five fresh voices, all that will have you hooked.
The best description of the books comes from the synopsis. I one hundred percent agree with this and couldn’t say it any better.

I am going to be honest and say that my favourite of the bundle is Robin Bielman’s Veiled Target because I have a huge rush on Hugh, the hero and okay maybe on Tess the heroine too. But that said, I have found 4 more authors to add to my must have list and I’m sure that after finishing this bundle they will be on a few more lists

this review is for Robin's story
If you have read before any Robin's books, expect something different. This book is sexier,edgier and more adventurous . It's like an alter ego wrote it and though it is unexpected, I still loved it.
Tess is a woman who seeks revenge, she kills veilers-non humans- for living and it is all she knows. She is a killer, bossy and she wants control all the time. Until she meets her next target, Hugh. Hugh is a shifter, a wolfen, a man protective of his pack and those he cares about. He is intelligent, strong and sexy. Mostly, he makes Tess question her life and gets to show her that there are more than hate and revenge.
Their relationship is not sweet, it is a game between wills and the stronger wins. Tess is a stubborn woman and sometimes I wanted to push her in Hugh's way, because no woman could have resisted this man! Although, her bossiness sometimes irked me, I understand her character because she is hurt and she has chosen a difficult life as an assassin.Hugh on the other hand is what I expected of an alpha hero. He has a fierce heart and a body to worship!I liked that he confronts Tess head on, so he can protect her. About the erotic scenes, nothing is behind closed doors and I have to say I really liked this side of Robin's writing. The sex scenes are really hot!
This is a book full of twists, mystery and sexiness. Robin presents us perfectly this new side of shifters and their killers. Prepare yourselves for new experiences in this fantastic world!

Veiled Target by Robin Bielman 5-Stars
Tess is an eliminator that terminates the lives of unlawful "Veilers." She's never questioned her "marks" until now. Until Hugh Langston, sexy Wolfen half shifter, alpha of his pack, is accused of wrong doings and someone puts up a contract for termination. After getting to know the sexy Alpha, does Tess really believe everything he's accused of? Can she trust the agency she works for to always be truthful in the quest for guilt or innocence?
This story is full of mystery, intrigue, sexy shifters, beautiful eliminators, and shady characters. There are many trust issues between characters. Betrayal is powerful and painful and so is the love. The chemistry between Tess and Hugh is explosive and the sex is off the charts! This is quite a bit different from the contemporary romance we are used to from Robin Bielman. I can honestly say that she can absolutely hold her own in the field of paranormal. I'm STILL a huge fan! I was hooked from the beginning and never wanted to put it down. I'm definitely looking forward to future Veilers series books.

This is a 5 book box set. Each book is the start of a series. This box set is full of paranormal activity. There are shifters, witches, vampires,angels, fire starters and faeries. Each book was a great read with so much activity, action and romance. The books are definitely on the steamy sex side. The heros and heroines for each story were very well written and liked. The authors did a great job of pulling you into the stories. They were all great page turners and I can't wait to read more from the series when they come out.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance.
Independent reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors that Rock.

What a great bundle, five paranormal books! I have only read one of the books so far, and loved it. Hoping to read the rest very soon.
A Veiled Target by Robin Bielman
Robin Bielman has out done herself with her new genre of paranormal. I have read everything of hers and not a big fan of paranormal, but all I can say is I really loved this book. Plenty of action, and hot steamy sex between Tess and Hugh. I hard time putting this book down, always wanted to know what came next.

*I was provided a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is a fun filled book! Inside you will find not one, but FIVE different books that start a series and they are hotter than hot! Each one is crafted to be the beginning of a story and trust me when I say that you will want to continue reading that story!
Containing everything from Shifters and Witches to Vampires and Fae- this book has something for everyone!
I loved it!

This collection of paranormal/urban fantasy romances contains something for everyone with a variety of supernatural beings, including shifters, demons, witches and faeries all looking for (and finding) their happy endings! The romances are on the steamy side, and make for some great night-time reads.
Veiled Target by Robin Bielman
This paranormal sexy romance is the story of Hugh and Tess. When wolfen half shifter Hugh, leader of the Night Runners, finds his apprentice Trey kidnapped, his search leads him to impersonate Trey on a blind date in hopes that the woman in question might have some answers. But when he meets Tess, her innocence in Trey's disappearance is clear - and so his instant attraction to her. Keeping his hands off her is only half the battle though, as Tess turns out to be more than he bargained for and is determined to help him in his quest. But Tess has her own agenda in helping Hugh. Will the secrets they hide from each other risk their chance at a happy ending?
What a fun story this was to read! I confess that I am new to the world of paranormal romances (though I've always read fantasy books), but if all the books in this genre are like this one, I'm going to be a devoted fan. The author does an excellent job of hooking the reader with action packed sequences right from the start and combining just enough reality with world building to make the story seem plausible. Tess has been on her own since childhood and as such is a strong and independent woman, more than capable of taking care of herself. She's got beauty and brains, physical strength and a no-nonsense attitude. Hugh is equally strong and dominant, leader of his pack, used to being in charge. When he meets Tess he is struck by her and all facets of her character. There is a strong sexual attraction between them from their first meeting, and when they eventually give into this attraction (both of them fighting it all the way), the resulting love scenes are powerfully erotic and emotionally satisfying. As the plot hurtles towards it's eventual conclusion these two strong characters face a battle of wills with each other and with themselves to figure out what lies in their future.
Overall, I found this to be an action packed, steamy, and interesting story. I hope this is just the first of a series as I am definitely hooked!
Slayer's Kiss by Cassi Carver
This story features a witch Kara (or so she believes herself to be). She's somewhat of a vigilante, taking it upon herself to gain vengeance on men who attack women, having herself been a victim as a teenager. She's also the caretaker of her apartment building, and a barmaid to boot. In the midst of her busy life she's suddenly got two new sexy neighbours, who are more than they appear. Julian and Gavin are fallen angels, and they're here to protect and guide Kara as she learns of her past and her future calling.
The heat factor is definitely ramped up in this story, as Kara finds herself attracted to both Julian and Gavin, and is comfortable enough in her sexuality that she has no qualms sleeping with both of them. Learning about her real heritage is an eye opener, and explains some of her abilities. I liked Kara and her kick-ass attitude, and her friendship with her girlfriend Abby, an accomplice in her vigilante actions. Some of the worldbuilding was a little confusing at times, but overall I enjoyed the story.

Love totally kick-a$$ characters. And Robin made both Hugh and Tess this way. They were fierce, loyal, strong, sarcastic and funny. This story was action packed, smoking hot and several very cute parts. I loved several life lessons in this book: never judge a book by its cover, the world is not always black and white, follow your heart.
I am hoping for a book for Francesca, Kensie and Trey too!
