NOTE: ** This is a review of Anna Lowe's Damnation Only!

~ 4 Damnation Stars ~

What happens when old hurts still linger and old threats come calling?

Damnation is book one in the Blue Moon Saloon series by Anna Lowe. What a wonderful new series that brings us strong heroines, alpha heroes, shifters of all kinds, hot cowboys, action, and much more.

The Blue Moon Saloon series takes place in the same world as The Twin Moon Ranch series. What is important to note is that both series can be read separately even though they are in the same world coexisting side-by-side. The author does a fabulous job bring her world to life and working in the characters from the other series, but what's impressive is that she made them feel brand new or if you are a fan, ones you have come to love.

I devoured this book in one sitting. I had a great time with this second chance romance. I will never be board or get enough of Ms. Lowe's characters and world. She is an outstanding writing that can bring her characters to life, pulling the reader in deeply, making you feel for them.

Jessica and Simon have a past that caused them both to be hurt in more ways then one. These two had a few things to work out and also an old enemy that doesn't want to see them together come around. These two go through so many emotions; before they finally clear the air and work everything out. When they finally hook-up again, well the sexy times are sensual, steamy, and romantic. As for our enemy it was rather quick, but you know they will be back.

Their is a prequel, Perfection, for Simon and Jessica. It's their beginning, before everything went wrong. No, I have not read it. Should you read it before you read Damnation? Well some reviewers say yes, I on the other hand can't say until I read it, but I felt the story stood on it's own.

Damnation was a sweet second chance romance that will take you on a whirlwind of emotions, action, suspense, and love that never faded. I highly recommend this new series as well as her Twin Moon Ranch. I can't wait for the next installment in this series.

A hot and sexy collection of shifter stories from some amazing and talented authors that have a great mix of drama, suspense, action, betrayal, romance, intrigue, attraction, sexual chemistry... and a whole lot more!

An ARC was given for an honest review.

This is my review on Anna Lowe's Damnation, a book in this anthology.
Anna Lowe has taken her Twin Moon Ranch series and started a spin off with a bang !! Jessica and her sister Janna have been on the run from Blue Blood Shifters for over 6 months, always looking over their shoulders, waiting for the day they catch up with them. Jessica & Janna make it to Twin Moon Ranch and are offered jobs at the packs bar in town, they jump at the chance, feeling slightly uncomfortable around the wolves of the pack after having lost all of their own. Simon and Soren are bear shifters who are leasing the bar from Ty & Tina ( those names should be familiar if you've read any of the Twin Moon Ranch books). They also lost their bear shifter pack to the Blue Blood purist 6 months prior to Jessica and Janna walking through the front door of their bar. And as destiny would have it, they know each other, and not in a good way. Simon and Jessica thought they were mates, until pack politics and a night full of fire and death pulled them apart. Follow them in Damnation and see for yourself if destiny can be denied, or just delayed for a little while. 5☆'s all the way. Great new characters, while keeping enough of the old ones to keep fans very happy. I recieved a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is my review of Shifter: Black Bear by Emerald Wright.

If it weren't for the humongous cliff hanger, this would be a 5 star read, that and it's just a little short for my taste. Charlene is a woman on the run, her abusive past is literally breathing down her neck and on the way to her hiding place, she trips and injures her ankle. Along comes bear shifter , special forces man Ryker, who feels an instant, overwhelming need to protect her. This book gives a great back story and sets us up for book 2 beautifully, but as I said, great, big cliff hanger !! Ito still a solid 4☆ read for me. I recieved an ARC in exchange for an honest review from the author.

The rest of the stories were engaging at some quite hot, so if you like your shifters sexy and don't mind some adventurous Alphas, this is the anthology for you !! Highly recommend reading the whole thing !! 4.5-5

Yummy yummy yummy!

Hot and sexy shifter box set! Here are just two of the great stories inside.

Damnation by Anna Lowe:
Wonderful shifter romance, very emotional and full of love and forgiveness. Wolf shifters Jessica and her sister Janna are new to town and have been allowed to join the Twin Moon pack, they are tired of going to town to town and want to find a place to call home. Jessica never expected to run into the one man who broke her heart and who she still loves, and to find out that she will be living and working closely with Simon is almost too much for her to take. Years ago Simon's bear clan forced him to break it off with Jessica but he has never forgotten his mate, his one true love. Their human side may be protesting seeing each other again, but their animal sides are screaming for them to be together. What will win, animal or human? And will the evil from both their pasts destroy them?

Stranded with the Wolf by Marie Mason:
A super hot romance about a wolf shifter boss trying to deny that he has a mate, until they get locked in together during a blizzard.

[Stephanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was approximately 830 pages of paranormal romance books that suck you in from the very beginning.
Each book is varying in length and there are 10 of them which makes the reading so much better. I know that I am not the only one who needs a change in pace every so often when it comes to books and this box set met up to all the needs a reader could want. Changing from how many people are involved in the romance, the type of paranormal, and the lengths of the books. These small changes made the books so much better then many would anticipate.
All of these books were full length no cliffhangers needed except for one of the wolf books. And all of these books showed how talented these authors are at writing a book. By reading the box set you are able to get an introduction to 10 paranormal romance writers so that it is easier to find out exactly who you will enjoy reading. I know I will definitely be carrying on reading some of these authors.
Overall these were some great reads you will not want to pass up.

Damnation – Anna Lowe
OMG! I hope this series never ends. Anna Lowe has found a way of continuing the Twin Moon Ranch series by giving us a “side trip” to the Blue Moon Saloon. While Tina continues with her help of distraught and troubled shifters, she unknowingly throws together a couple of bears, orphaned by the hands of a rogue pack trying to decimate the “mixed breeds”, claiming pure wolf breeds only, calling themselves the Blue Bloods, with a pair of she-wolves who have survived one of the Blue Bloods attacks, where they were also orphaned, as they watched their entire pack being burned to ashes.
Little did she know, but the bears and the she-wolves were already aquainted, as they were from neighbouring clan/packs. The fact that Simon, one of the bear brothers, and Jessica, one of the she-wolf sisters, are mates, is a hidden secret, leaves everyone on edge.
Lots of excitement, plenty of broken hearts that need mending, fires and rescues, and a good dose of loving all will have you on the edge of your seat itching to find out what will happen next. Loving this spin-off just as much as the original series. Can’t wait to read about the next couple to find peace and love.

The Dragon’s Wife – Michele Bardsley
Oh my! What a beautiful blend of mythology and reincarnation, as we meet dragon king, Aiden, aka Aillen, who has been alone for the past eight hundred years after his wife Cliona was murdered after who he believes to be the same that tried to kill him. But to kill a dragon is almost impossible, and unfortunately, he has no clue as to who his attempted murder or murders were. When the reincarnated version of Cliona is found, Aiden sends for her with a proposal she can’t refuse. Shannon has always had an extreme interest in the folklore of Ireland, especially the Kearney dragon clan. She graduated as an archaeologist and is hoping to score the equivalent of winning the lottery, with an opportunity to excavate the lands of Kearney. When she is invited to do just that, she is stunned, yet thrilled. But all is not as it seems when she arrives. Weird things are happening to her, dreams that feel real, and numerous bouts of fainting, and memories that aren’t her own. Is Shannon truly Cliona? Will they ever be able to lead the life of true bliss together? Or, will their murderers try again?
This is a complete story with no cliff hangers. An awesome read you won’t want to miss. Even though this is the first of Ms. Bardsley’s work that I have read, I will be on the look out for more from her.

Hunted by the Alphas, Parts 1 & 2 – Lily Thorn
Grrrrr! This is an awesome story, and would have been even better if it would have been complete. This is parts one and two of a seven part series, so be prepared to be left hanging, and from the highest cliff you’ve ever seen. Val was adopted by her hunter parents when she was a baby, raised to be a hunter and is desperate to be sent out on a mission, finally after all of her gruelling training. One major hurdle or problem, is her sister, born to the Hunters. She’s a true pain in the butt, and there’s nothing Val can do about it. While trying to soothe her rattled nerves after their first mission, one that Hannah botched up, Val encounters Blaze. She’s trained to hunt the paranormal, and he’s definitely not normal. Wolf shifter Blaze knows Val’s his mate as soon as he sees her. But things get complicated when his brother/Alpha, Ash, comes looking for him, only to realize that Val’s his mate also. Will they be able to fight this one out? Will Val accept either of them? Will her family find out, and if so, what will they do about it? Lots of unanswered questions that we will have to wait to find answers for. Extremely promising as a series.

Bearly a Bride – Isadora Montrose
A touching story that will have you in tears almost as often as you’re laughing, but always with a full heart. Lisa Marie is a very young widow with twin two year old boys that seem to find trouble, even without looking for it. Troy, a wounded veteran, is down in the dumps after his fiancé dumped him when he came home from war, one leg less than what he left with. Feeling sorry for himself, his buddy Joey decides what he needs is a bit of time back home, where he can relax and get his mind back on track. But neither of them are prepared for the spark that flies when they touch for the same time after Troy saves one of the twins from drowning. All bets are off as to how long it will take for these two hurting souls to find the healing they need, preferably together. Awesome read.

Stranded with the Wolf – Marie Mason
A wonderful read about a human woman with low self-esteem, in love with her billionaire wolf-shifter boss, and completely unaware of the fact that she is his fated mate. Even though Sara knows pretty much all there is to know about shifters, she hasn’t yet figured out that Jarod is made for her, but that’s not too surprising seeing that he hasn’t made any moves on her since he hired her over six months ago, and the fact that he’s paraded numerous beautiful women in front of her, all because he’s in denial. He doesn’t think he’s ready to settle down with his mate. Until Fate decides to step in and give them the push they need, by snowing them in, alone, together, for a whole weekend. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall….but wait….we are, lol.
Ms. Mason has done a wonderful job with this story. Easy to follow with a beautiful plot that will have you wishing you were truly there, and not as a fly, but the main characters, of course. Loved this!

Riding Bearback – Becca Fanning
A cute little short that will have your heart beating faster when things get a bit out of hand. Jess is a city girl, through and through, but she’s on the run from her ex-husband. She’s bought a ranch in Colorado unseen, hoping for a fresh start, far away from Conrad and his hateful ways, but all is not rosy in the ranch business, especially when you only have an aged ranch hand and a herd of loose cattle on your hands. As soon as Wyatt sees his new neighbor, he knows she’s his mate. All he has to do is win her over. Right! Things start to heat up when her ex shows up, threatening Jess’s fresh start and Wyatt’s love life. Will she ever be rid of her ex or will he continue to make her life miserable until the day she dies? Lots of action packed into such a short story, but a great read!

Liam’s Bride – Emma Alisyn
An awesome story that touches on the subject of guilt by association, with lots of hurting, patience, and an overabundance of love that will help almost anyone break through the barriers we put up to protect our most vulnerable organ, our heart. Meredith has harboured a pain in her heart for over twenty years, believing the acts of her father so many years ago were all her fault, even though she was such a young child at the time. She has never forgiven herself, and pays penance for her “crimes” every day of her life, at least in her own mind. Liam is the den Alpha, and has been selected as one of the ten eligible bachelors of the clan that will need to find a human mate in order to bring new “genes” into the clan for stronger cubs, because the level of interbreeding among the clans is starting to show with deformed and unhealthy cubs. Not looking forward to the “job” set before him, he is more or less blindsided by the fire-top bombshell that is vying for his attention after he’s purchased the building her project currently leases. As soon as Mere approaches him, Liams’ bear sits up and starts to pay attention. He knows she’s his mate and all he has to do is convince his human side that she’s his, no matter what! But there’s a secret or two that these two are holding close. Will they destroy their relationship before it even gets off and running once revealed? Or will they be able to work it out? A lot of action in this fast paced, yet complete story that will have you on edge and/or in tears throughout it’s entirety. Well done!

Shared by the Bear Clan – Lynn Red
Argggg! I am hanging by the thread on my pants, waiting to find out just what is going to happen with Adriana, Craze, Wild and Grave. And lets not forget Todd! What will he do?
Ade has been having dreams…extremely weird, but hot dreams lately, and she can’t for the life of her figure out what they all mean. She keeps having the same dream over and over. She’s in a cave somewhere with not one, but three men. Why? She has no idea.
Then, by some strange twist of fate, while on a school field trip in the park, of which she is the science teacher, a missing child that no one knows, but her name is on the roster. While everyone else does nothing, Ade knows she can’t leave a child behind, even if there is something strange going on with the air and the trees. Is she the only one who can hear all the noise?
If you are looking for something different, with lots of action of all kinds, emotions strung taut and more questions than not…this is the one you will not want to miss out on. I am so anxious to read the second part of this…can’t wait.

A Blaze to Bear – Sloan Meyers
This story is such an emotional coaster ride, you will want to make sure you have your seatbelt fastened tightly, as we witness the rocky start to a relationship between Ian, bear clan alpha and leader of the Burning Claws smokejumper group, and Charlotte, aka Charlie, one of very few female smokejumpers and totally human. As soon as Charlotte climbs out of the plane that delivered her to their landing field, Ian knew he was a goner, and his bear wasn’t giving him any slack either. She was his mate. But his human side resisted, every painful step of the way. It didn’t help that his second in command, Zach, was completely against having her stay there and be part of their group, especially after Ian told him of his bears’ reaction. But being the boss means that you can’t please everyone, and when you try, you usually mess up…big time. Charlotte has her suspicions that there is something a bit supernatural with the group, but just can’t put her finger on it, until she overhears a conversation between Ian and Zach. Emotions run wild, almost as wild as the fires they all set to put out, in this very fast paced tale of love and the hurdles life throws at us on our journey to find it. An awesome read that will leave you thirsting for more of these hunky smokejumpers. Maybe because of his attitude, I would hope this author has Zach’s story to tell sooner than later.

Shifter: Black Bear – Emerald Wright
Yet another wonderful story that touches on a delicate subject, spousal abuse. Charlene has had it! After too many years of physical and mental abuse at the hands of her spouse, and all in the name of BDSM, she has finally gathered up enough courage and money to make a run for freedom. But, as in most cases, not all goes as planned. While on her way to what she believes will be her safe house, she trips and falls on the trail, severely spraining her ankle. Ryker needs to let his bear out, or who knows what disaster will happen. He’s on his way up the trail to Emerald Lake to shift and give his bear some well deserved and needed time to run free, only to trip over a woman. And not just any woman, but an injured one, who, by the smell of her, is his fated mate! What are the chances? He’s not ready in his life to find his mate! He’s just starting his military career and there’s no room for anyone else in his life at this time! Or is there? Fate tends to play cruel tricks on us from time to time, enjoying the task of throwing us off of our life course, even though usually it’s for the better. Will Charlene ever manage to get rid of her soon to be ex-husband? Will her and Ryker ever manage to overcome the many obstacles in their way?
Well written and easy to follow, this story will have you on the edge of your seat, and keep you there until the end.

I received an ARC of this boxed set in exchange for my honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This storyline is SPECTACULAR!! I was so engaged in reading this great story I didn't want to eat dinner or go to sleep it's just that Fantastic!! The storyline is everything you expect in a spin off of The Twin Moon Ranch series. This book 1 and I absolutely enjoyed reading this awesome beginning to this SPECTACULAR series. The story is so fantastic that I read it in one sitting I just couldn't put it down, it captured my attention from the first page to the last. It's full of friction, lots of denial, it's compelling and very emotional you may need a few Kleenex tissues because it's hard to have a dry eye while I was reading part of the story. The scenes description are scorching hot, sensual, beautiful and loving. The characters are strong, sexy, gorgeous and dreamy. The dialogue is sexy, full of compassion and is very sensual. Anna Lowe books entertains us with lots of delights when reading this book and the series. All of these books are standalone but are still apart of the series.

MARIE MASON - STRANDED WITH THE WOLF
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is book one about the McCall brothers finding their mate. I'm a book cover junkie and this one piqued my interest, it's a short and the beginning is not so sweet. Jarod McCall is a CEO of McCall Holdings and a dominant alpha wolf who makes his own rules and his mate Sara is attracted to him but also little afraid of him, he is her boss. All in all a very enjoyable read with a good storyline that is leading to a series of books for some of the other lovely characters. I really want Sara to have her HEA.
LILY THORN - HUNTED BY THE ALPHA'S
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a must read for paranormal lovers! Warning:I read this is just part 1 of a box set and it ends in a cliff-hanger, which I liked but some readers may not. The story has lots of romance, humor, action and suspense, it over the top with werewolves, humans and vampires. The vampires are bad and must be killed. Val, Ash and Blaze are lovable characters. Thing of it is when two Alpha wolves fall for a curvy monster hunter, who will end up hunting whom?
MICHELE BARDSLEY - THE DRAGON'S WIFE
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
OMG YAy! I read other books from Michelle Bardsley and I enjoyed them all and this one didn't disappoint. The storyline and characters are well written and is a standalone book. Centuries ago the human wife of the dragon Kings is murdered.
Aiden Kearney has became reclusive but he chose Shannon Bram to receive the coveted Kearney Grant to excavate on the family's Irish lands. She didn't understand how or why she has been chosen, she didn't think she is the most qualified and she is certain the most inexperience. But as this is her dream come true and she can't turn it down. Aiden Kearney's invitation and message is puzzling. Shannon is fascinate with the one true love story of the Dragon King.

This was a delightful and entertaining story about bear shifter and his bride who has twin cubs who is so adorable.

When Troy saves one boys from drowning he meets Lisa Marie Johnston who widowed at twenty and cousin to his army buddy. To Lisa Marie Johnston her twins are her whole life. The two of them are both swept away with passion. The story was the perfect blend of drama, mystery and sexiness. It was refreshing to read what felt like real literature. The characters are fabulous and compelling. The dialogue is realistic and passionate, I loved the interaction between the characters, the chemistry is so hot it leaps off the page like real life. The scenes are beautiful picturesque, dynamic with lots passion.

The characters are fantastic, lovable, humorous, exciting, captivating, engaging and written very well I could keep going but I hate for you to read this and think what did she read to get this review. But actually I got to read this marvelous book. Ian is the alpha of the clan of bear shifters and Charlie the newest and most unwelcome member of the Wildfire jumpers crew. The problem is Charlie is a she and she's human and Ian's fated mate.
EMERALD WRIGHT - SHIFTER: BLACK BEAR
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a fantastic book I have read.

I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a Scorching Hot read with a few plot twists and, of course it's a fantastic love story. This storyline reminds me why I love reading Historical romance. Emerald Wright is truly creative, gifted and very talented. The storyline is well written. I enjoyed the storyline so much from the first page to the last page I was so amazed. I loved books that have Bears that's shifters! Emerald Wright is excellent at building fantasy worlds, her character development is awesome. The storyline has drama and depth to it. The story was the perfect blend of drama, mystery and sexiness. It was refreshing to read what felt like real literature. The characters are fabulous and compelling. The dialogue is realistic and passionate, I loved the interaction between the characters, the chemistry is so hot it leaps off the page like real life.

Anna Lowe - Damnation - 5*
What an amazing story! I am a huge fan of shifter stories and of Anna Lowe's books. The way this bok is written is so warm and real, I think that is one of the things that I loved so much about this book. The storyline was incredible, there are so many twists and turns in it, making it a compelling page tuner that is filled with action, adventure, pain and love. The characters were so well thought out and descriptive, each character having their own strengths and all of them having inner demons that they try to deal with on their own. Throughout the book they realise they can trust others.
This is a definite must read!!!!!

Michelle Bardsley - The Dragon's Wife - 5*
This book made me realise how much of a hopeless romantic I am! I loved this story in the anthology! Its a short fun read that is a definite page turner! I really enjoyed reading about the characters and their unique personalities. There are quite a few twists and turns that have been very cleverly written and I was surprised with the last few chapters (don't want to say too much and ruin the surprise :-) ) A very enjoyable read, especially if you love fantasy and dragon shifters. If I wasn't already following Michelle Bardsley's work then this novella would be making me do that.

Lily Thorn - Hunted by the Alpha - 5*
I was gutted when this book finished!!! This is part one and two of this story, it is an extremely addictive and compelling read. This is the first book I have read by this author and after reading this I will definitely be searching for more. I loved the world that this was set in, it was so descriptive and imaginative making it so real for the reader. The characters were so well thought out and I cant wait ti find out what happens next in this action packed supernatural novella. Loved It!!!!

Isadora Montrose - Bearly a Bride - 5*
I loved, loved, loved this book, especially how much time was taken to honour people serving in the military and issues that ex-military have after returning home. Also honouring the struggles of the families left at home (by this I mean Lisa Marie's struggles, trying to raise 2 small boys on her own on very little money). I loved the world building in this novella, it was so well written, making it feel so lifelike and real to the reader. I loved all the characters, especially Troy, there was something about him that shone goodness and wanting a better life for himself. I also loved how protective Lisa Marie's family is, showing their love and how close they all are.

Marie Mason - Stranded by the Wolf - 5*
So far in this anthology I think this one is my favourite! Being a plus sized woman and struggling with it, it really called to me that this novella's main character is a lady that is more curvy than what is considered the average and the fact that there is someone who made her feel sexy, loved and all woman. This is the first Marie Mason book I have read, as soon as I finished it I went straight over to her website to sign up to her newsletter, it was that good!!! Although this is a novella, the characters are written with so much feeling and depth that you feel like you see into their souls - seeing their hopes and dreams. I frickin loved this book and the author, a definite must read for all.

Riding Bearback - Becca Fanning - 4*
This is an enjoyable short novella. I really liked this story, I would have liked it if it was a little longer as things seemed to happen quite quickly.. I thought the characters and the world building was done really well, making you 'feel' the story as well as their pasts and their dreams and wants. A definite read for anyone who loved anything related to shifters.

Emma Alisyn - Liam's Bride - 5*
See previous review below

Lynn Red - Shared by the Bear Clan - 5*
This is a four part book and the first book I have read by Lynn Red. I really really enjoyed these books!! From the beginning the story is filled with action and adventure, keeping the reader constantly guessing and wondering what is going to happen next. I loved all the characters in this book, they were all so well thought out! Each character has such a unique personality, having their own wants and dreams. I thought Adriana was brilliant, I loved her inner fire and her strength. How well she adapts to her new life with three mates and with all the surprises, she seems to take it in her stride. Craze, Wild and Grave have very individual and separate personalities and sometimes butt heads but I loved that about them, This is a brilliant book and shifter lovers will adore this.

Sloane Meyers - A Blaze to Bear - 5*
I absolutely loved this story, I couldn't stop tuning the pages!! This is a highly addictive, exciting journey with bear shifters, any fan of shifters will love this novella. This is the first time I have read any fiction that included smoke jumpers and this reall interested me that firefighters risk their lives in this way. I loved the whole dynamic of this book, of how the team of shifters interact with each other, though the good and bad times. Also how they all handled a female human being added to the mix. I thought Charlotte's character was awesome, I love a strong female character. She is smart, confident and knows what she wants making her the perfect match for Alpha bear Ian who is just as strong willed and passionate. I also loved Hunter, there is just something very sweet about him. I cant wait to read more of Sloane Meyers work!!!

Emerald Wright - Shifter : Black Bear - 5*
This is an amazing read, I loved every moment of it and was kind of gutted when it finished, I am now dying to read more from this author! For all shifter lovers that love action and a happy ending then this one is a definite read. The character that impressed me the most is Charlene. Running from an abusive husband she is scared and skittish at the beginning, hurting and wary of everyone but as the book continues she begins to build up her confidence and starts to begin a new life. I want to thank Emerald Wright for writing about this hard topic and showing that we al have an inner strength and nobody deserves abuse, that there is always a way out! I really enjoyed Ryker's character, how protective and loving he is, throughout the book he never pressures Charlene and lets her set the pace their relationship went at. I loved the whole book, it is an exciting, fast paced, enthralling novella and I cant wait to read more !!!

[Jamoz23 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received this box set from Anna Lowe for an honest review of her book.
ANNA LOWE - DAMNATION
A great new series coming up.
I read the prequel PERFECTION before this book and it was so sweet. You do not need to have read it but it makes what happens in this book so much sadder.
Jessie has done nothing wrong but been left by her unmated mate. She has suffered 3 years of hurt and then things get worse. Her pack is wiped out by purist rogues that only her and her sister Janna escaped from.
Jess believes she could have done more to help her pack and her guilt at not fighting enough, on top of not being wanted by her mate and living on the run has taken her from being a feisty she wolf to a shadow of herself.
Simon thought he was doing the right thing in hurting Jessie and turning her away and making her hate him. What a ninny.
Why do males not understand that talking can solve so much. IF Simon had told Jessie what was going on, IF he had not hurt her so bad, they may have been able to be together and their respective pack and clans may have been able to help and protect each other from the rogues. Big IF I know.
All in all a very enjoyable read with a good storyline that is leading to a series of books for some of the other lovely characters we meet in this book.
Really want Soren to have his HEA.
Now for a gripe.
I always get annoyed at the heroines when they just accept I’m sorry as the end of all the problems with very little talking about why the idiot male thought he could make all the decisions in a relationship. Not just happens in this book but others too. I always want a lot of grovelling and super good apologies to make things right. They are shifters after all. Nothing is more important than a mate.
The men were a bit stupid running a red light, instead of getting there to protect the girls, they caused an accident which delayed them precious minutes.

MICHELE BARDSLEY - THE DRAGON'S WIFE
Have read other books with a similar theme but I did enjoy this one. It was well written but did seem to drag a bit much, I knew who the baddies were fairly early on.
The dragon Kings human wife is murdered centuries ago and her one true love the Dragon King is trying to bring her back to him in every lifetime. You would think a king would suspect he was betrayed by a close family member he has kept near him all this time. Must feel like a bit of an idiot to not realise it was them.

LILY THORN - HUNTED BY THE ALPHA'S part 1 of 7
I read this part 1 in a box set before and when I looked into it you ended up paying a lot to finish the book. This ends in a cliff-hanger, which I hate, but the story was just over the top with the humans are good, all the others are bad and must be killed.
Val, Ash and Blaze were likeable and in some instances humorous and I would love to find out what happens but I will not pay the prices asked. I believe this is now in one complete box set which may be a cheaper option.

ISADORA MONTROSE - BEARLY A BRIDE
A lovely story that I sort of enjoyed but just felt and came across as old fashioned and silly which spoilt it for me.

MARIE MASON - STRANDED WITH THE WOLF
This was okay but Jarod was a bit of a jerk. His wolf knew Sara was their mate from the first time her saw and smelt her. The man had her working for him for 6 months as he would not accept it. During which time he dated a parade of bone thin glamorous models and actresses and basically ignored her because he thought she was a mousy little secretary. JERK
Sara had a crush on Jarod but knew a wolf claimed their mate straight away so did not believe she was anyone important to him.
He is so lucky nothing happened to her in those 6 months or he would have been an idiot shifter.
Then when they are trapped in the office due to a snowstorm proximity forces him to decide on mating her. How romantic. NOT.
Jarod takes her virginity and tells Sara he loves her and she is his mate. Sara needed to do better than him but she just accepts it all and tells him she loves him too. No grit.

BECCA FANNING - RIDING BEARBACK
This could have been a good story except for Jess being a stupid wimpy heroine and being written in the most amateur childish way. This is something I would expect from an author without Ms Fanning’s experience.
In example - She had a rifle with silver bullets, shoots and misses but doesn't shoot again. Instead we get “Now she was running, through the house, out the back door and down into the garden. It was a mad dash, she had no plan. Thoughts fell like loose ribbons from her head.”
Then we get - Two shifters are fighting right near her, one is the hero the other is her ex-husband who wants to kill her. “Eventually she sat in the grass, hands over her ears, rocking to and fro staring into the darkness until a gentle hand landed on her shoulder.”
Jess still had the rifle with her as she shoots her husband in the next paragraph but if her husband had won the fight she would be dead because she sat in the grass rocking to and fro. Really, come ON.
As I said too silly.

EMMA ALISYN - LIAM'S BRIDE
A very good fun read that was free. I am always happy to read new authors who offer free books to allow you to check out their writing style. Have signed up to this authors newsletter.
Will be reading the next in the series to see what happens.
Just could have done with some grammar and spelling checks done.

LYNN RED - SHARED BY THE BEAR CLAN
I have never really gotten on with Ms Red’s books and style of writing but this one is okay, not great but not bad either.
SLOANE MEYERS - A BLAZE TO BEAR
An enjoyable easy read that had a good believable storyline. Would be interested in reading more about this crew.
EMERALD WRIGHT - SHIFTER: BLACK BEAR
This story touched on a very serious subject, spousal abuse, but did it in a positive way.
Charlene is running from her abusive husband to start a new life and is doing everything correctly that she can. Support groups, self-defence classes, arming herself and making herself a part of a small community.
Ryker is special forces and does not want to be mated or have a serious commitment until he is older and not taking on dangerous missions. Sensible thinking to me, but fate thinks otherwise and literally has him tripping over Charlene. Ryker’s bear is also not impressed with being denied his mate.
The actual story I enjoyed very much but I cannot pinpoint why this story did not thrill or wow me.

Read for Anna Lowe

Book 1 of Blue Moon Saloon by Anna Lowe
Where to start? I absolutely loved this book but to get the full story or beginning YOU MUST READ PREQUEL PERFECTION SHORT STORY BEFORE DAMNATION. This is a short story about how Simon first meets Jessica but it just beautifully starts everything off but when you start book 1 damnation you are thinking of a great romance that started so well but this first book throws you so much.
Simon is a bear shifter but after been away from his clan with his brother for some time he returns to find them all dead. He and his brother end up as cook and bartender at the wild owned Blue Moon Saloon.
Jessica and Janna are wolf shifter that turn up in town and running for 6 months after a rogue kills their whole pack.
Such great twists in this series and I’ve only ready two books and one was a short story.
The audiobook is fantastic Kelsey Osborne is a favourite of mine and narrates so beautifully. If you love shifter series that look no further then Anna Lowe

On his last tour he was blown up and he lost his leg, he lost everything he lost his military career, his girlfriend because she couldn't put up with just one leg, which even made it worse for him, he thought he was good for nothing but a bottle.

Her life will never be the same
Another great installment to the series, just making me want more, like right now. Adriana is slowly learning some truths in the book but not fast enough for her. She feels the connection to Gray and Craze but feels Graves is missing in the equation and he seems aloof to things and not wanting to explain thing to her. One thing is for sure it that Graves will do anything for the safety of his clan. But what all that real entails is yet to be seen. Well written and very entertaining to read.
RAVAGED - Shared by the Bear Clan Three 5 Stars

Adriana is now facing betrayal and two men from both halves of her live. Grave has never given her any answers to any of her question and now she finds out why. Todd from her old life is a lot more than just human and now she sees him for what he truly is. Another great installment. This one ends where you think all hope is lost and the bad guy just night win. Can’t wait for the next book and how the story unfolds.

With tear Adriana thinks her bears are dead and all is lost. The smoke or gas is starting to lessen and she hears the voice of the girl that led her into the forest to begin with. But she is the least of her problems. She feels the weight of the entire clan on her shoulders. Her bears aren’t gone nor out of trouble yet. And then there’s her deranged EX to still deal with. This is the last installment of the series and it’s a great one. This installment ties all things up in a very explosive way. Well written and very entertaining to read.

Damnation (Blue Moon Saloon #1) by Anna Lowe

Disclaimer: I recommend you read Perfection, the short prequel for this series prior to reading Damnation. As my review will only give you the gist of how Simon and Jessica first met, Perfection will give you a more in depth view of their beginning.

Simon and Jessica met approximately four years ago and pretty quickly realized they're mates. However, they both know it's not going to be an easy path to their future as they'll need to convince his bear clan and her wolf pack to form an alliance, allowing them to be mated.

Well it seems things didn't go as planned as Jessica believes, due to his actions after the mating being approved, that Simon didn't want her after all. Now Jessica and her sister, Janna, are running from the rogues that killed their whole pack six months ago. They come upon Tina, of the Twin Moon pack (read that series, you'll love it), and end up being hired as waitresses for the Blue Moon Saloon. Tina takes them to the saloon and Jessica comes face to face with Simon, the mate that repeatedly rejected her.

Simon and his older brother, Soren, asked for permission to revive the saloon. They both needed to escape the memories of losing their family, their whole clan, six months ago and knew they had to start over somewhere else.

Simon's bear and Jessica's wolf are yearning for their mate, yet to Jessica's human side he'll always be the man that broke her heart. After a year of convincing their families to agree to the mating, and the bears finally agccepting it, Simon devastated her by saying it was only a fling and he was moving on. *sobbing for her* Then at every unavoidable gathering for two years, he continually broke her heart with insulting comments here and there. *prepares to throat punch him* What Jessica didn't know is that the agreed mating concerned Jessica and Soren, not Simon, thus Simon did what he felt was the only way to keep Jessica protected. *Uh oh. Plot twist.*

Can Simon and Jessica work through what happened? Will Jessica understand why Simon acted that way once she learns the truth about the clan/pack mating agreement? Will Jessica and Janna ever be safe from the rogues? Will Simon and Jessica get their second chance for a HEA? Will Janna find her happiness? Will Soren be able to go on after losing his intended mate? I'm looking forward to reading books two and three to get the answers to those last two questions.

One-click now to continue Simon and Jessica's story, as well as meeting the main characters for the next two books. You'll go through a range of emotions as the story, the characters, pull you in and you hope everything works out, allowing these two to finally start their future together.

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

A few years ago when thing seem so simple and she had a family and pack. A she-wolf named Jessica fell in love with a bear named Simon
Simon fell for her too and best of all they were true mates. They went to their families and pack to get a mating set up and made it happen!
Cloud 9 right? But Simon seamed to have backed out on her. Jessica was crushed but things got worse the wolf and the bear clan here attacked and killed leaving Jessica and her sister on the run until now. The twin moon wolfs said they could work here and would be save.

Blue moon saloon
Jessica and her sister walks in an good god Jessica could have well over as she meet the owner Simon. Talk about a shock. The man who broke her heart and walked out on her! This couldn't work! But darn it had to her sister had her needed a place to live and work.

I LOVE the story the action is a wow top notch story! Wild fun and not to be missed.

LIAM'S BRIDE by Emma Alisyn

Meredith is a human working to help teens in an garden outreach program. Her mom runs an restaurant but her dad was in prison for killing a were bear.

Then Meredith is pregnant everyone is happy until he finds out its her dad the killed his. That's a whole another story. Does he blame the daughter for what the father did?

The characters are awesome, I love the interaction of the characters. It's my first book from this author and I am putting her on my must read list. Can't wait to see what else she has out.

She ecaped from an abusive marrage but on her run she was hurt in the woods and meet Ryker. He and his bear are shocked to trip over their mate in the woods. They plan to take things slow, get her to safety then get to know her.

My reviews are for Anna Lowe and Emma Alysin's books. Both stories were full of action, suspense, drama and hot sex that kept me interested all the time.
Damnation by Anna Lowe
Another exciting story in the Blue Moon series. Jess and Janna were trying to hide from evil rogues looking for them. They accepted Tina’s offer to work at the Blue Moon Saloon unknowing there was the man who had played with Jess’ feelings and had left her rejected and heart broken. The tension escalated between them and both were denying their feelings unable to voice what was in their hearts. Simon needed his mate and had to make a great effort to win her back. Still the Blue Blood was threatening the sisters and they had to fight for their lives. The story was great, charge with emotions and regrets of what could had been. Jess and Simon had been struggling with their feelings all the time reading wrong into the other. There was action, suspense, intrigue, violence and hot scenes in the story. Seems that Jenna is going to have her chance and Soren could have read wrong Fate’s messages. I like so much this amazing and entertaining stories.
Liam’s Bride by Emma Alysin
Meredith felt trapped and caught in a situation she could not win. Liam was tired of wait. She had a lot in her plate. Contradictory feelings about her growing up had made her lose confidence in herself. Her work, helping others, was what gave meaning to her life. All these years she had felt guilty because she thought that in some way, she had pressed her father and therefore his behavior. On the other hand, Liam was struggling with his feelings and his bear’s hard ways. He needed to stay in control always and Meredith was not subjecting to him. Very good and interesting story with suspense with the fights and hot sex with the mate thing rambling between Liam and Meredith. Liked the main and secondary characters. Besides Liam and Meredith, the drama between Tamar and Alphonso promise more interesting stories. Think I’m going to keep a close eye in these books because I like very much the development of the story.

HOT SHIFTER NIGHTS

DAMNATION-{BLUE MOON SALOON BOOK 1} by Anna Lowe

This story features; SIMON, a strikingly handsome, blue-eyed powerful bear-shifter and barkeep; JESSICA, a feisty, intelligent, beautiful she-wolf, baker, and waitress.

The Voss Bear Clan and the Black River Wolf Pack were slaughtered by rogue wolves. Simon and his brother Soren believing they killed all the rogues responsible for the demise of the packs made their way into Twin Moon Wolf Pack territory. The brothers are now working for the wolves at the Blue Moon Saloon. Jessica and her sister Janna, daughters of the murdered wolf pack alpha have been searching for a safe place to start a new life. They also end up meeting the wolves who offer protection and work. Simon had thought Jessica was killed by the rogues, but when she shows up at the saloon for work, he is stunned and angry at himself for not realizing that she his destined mate still lived, and for the terrible things he said to her years ago. Jessica needs the job, a safe place for her and her sister to live, she decides to stay keeping her feelings tucked away, and making the best of an uncomfortable situation. Horrific danger is coming with murderous vengeance on its mind!!!!

INCREDIBLE fast-paced roller coaster shifter romance. I so love the fusion of the Twin Moon Wolves into this new series; bringing the characters I so adore and adding new types of shifters into the wolf territory is awesome. The intriguing plot, witty dialogue, spine-chilling action, and scenes that leave you breathless keep you hooked from start to finish. Both Jessica and Simon are most valiant heroes, and their romance is filled with fiery passion and unwavering devotion. A most entertaining read . If you treasure shifter romance this is definitely a terrific set for your library. {I was gifted this book, and this is my truthful review}. In the world of shifter romance, the possibilities are endless and always fascinating. Without reservations, I recommend this set.

Damnation by Anna Lowe

Jessica and her sister left their home town after purist rogue shifters wiped out their entire family and extended pack. They finally feel they have found a safe haven and start new jobs in the local saloon. But destiny is about to step in, cos the bartender is none other than Jessica's first love, Simon. She fought so hard for their cross species romance but he just dumped her and ran, with no explanation.

Simon had heard about the decimation of his loves pack and thought she was lost forever. but when she walks into his new saloon he can't held but feel relieved. But how can he come clean that the reason he left was that his family had agreed to the pact to marriage between the wolf shifters and bear shifters, it just wasn't him she was getting set up with!

Fabulous read. I loved the Twin Moon Ranch stories and these are like a little offshoot. Simon is wonderfully sweet and surly at the same time! Jessica loves her family more than anything but will she save her sister and leave her love behind? I'm really looking forward to the rest of the books in this series.

Liam’s Bride – Emma Alisyn

Meredith lives with the guilt of the actions of her father almost 2 decades ago. He wiped out the family of a bear shifter. The same shifter who has just bought the building where her project for at risk teens is based.

Liam is Alpha and as part of a lottery his den organised, must go out and find a bride, to help fight their dwindling numbers. He never expected to be sideswiped by a firecracker with a serious need to be in his face over her project! He and his bear recognise her as his mate but can he get her to come to the same conclusion!

OMG lots of unwarranted guilt and I'm glad to say some characters get to reclaim their humanity by doing a selfless protective act. Liam is sweet and studly and Mere is the spoiled little girl done good! She is such a giving person you were just cheering her one all the time!

Hunted by the Alphas by Lily Thorn:

Ash is the Alpha of the Ember pack. For the good of the pack he is taking a mate that is not his true mate and on he is not in love with. Ash finds that his true mate is his brother Blaze’s mate. So much confusing and could cause discord between the brothers.

Val who has been raised by hunters find herself attracted to two different men. The question is how will she handle the news of them being werewolves. She has been trained that they are monsters and meant to be killed. What will Val do?


Emerald Wright - Shifter : Black Bear
I received this for a honest review. I have read several books from this author. I should of known that she would end part 1 in a way that makes you stomp your feet and scream for book 2. My thoughts to the author is “You little tease”. LOL

Ryker was more than this handsome bear shifter. He was in the military and was in the Special Forces Unit. The military knew he was a shifter and used that to their advantage. Ryker was just out enjoying nature and wanting to let his bear free for a bit. What he was not looking for was his mate. Ryker did not want a steady woman at the moment. He wanted to spend more time with his military career.

Charlene was a beautiful plus size woman. She had a hard life putting up with an abusive ex. No this did not make her weak. Charlene was every bit of a strong woman. She was a survivor. I found I had a lot of respect for Charlene.

Charlene had found herself hurt with a twisted ankle hiking up to her destination on Emerald Lake. Lucky for her she had the sexy angel come along and help her out.

Charlene and Ryker cannot deny the attraction for one another. Ryker feels the strong need to protect her and keep her safe. The problem is Ryker has a secret. One that he must protect. How will Charlene react when she finds out he is a shifter? Will Ryker be able to keep Charlene safe?

Hunted by the Alpha's Lilly Thorn
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review,

This is going to be a great series if this book is any indication, In ways it reminded me of the shadowhunters, I really am intrigued by Val's backstory, and the Vampire that they were suppose to tag, I really like Ash and Blaze I cannot wait to see how that pans out with Val. I have to admit I really like the choices of names in this book especially the wolves names Mercy, Jett, Blaze, Ash, and I think there even was a Fury

The Dragons Wife Michele Bardsley

I really loved this story, I was about a Love that does not end, two souls meet back up after 500 years apart, Aiden Kearney has been waiting for his lost love to be reincarnated. I really enjoyed how Shannon would have flashes of her previous life, Beautifully written

Bearly A Bride by Isadora Montrose

This was so good, it is about a young widow and her twin cubs, She lost her husband to the war, but the clan is always looking out for her.
And about a wounded warrior who came back from the war missing a limb, He comes across her two cubs that have fallen in the river. I LOVED how this story played out just GREAT

*I received this ARC for Damnation: Blue Moon Saloon #1 from Anna Lowe, in exchange for a honest review*


Jessica Macks and her sister have been on the run from purist rogues for months. When they stop in a small town and find themselves jobs in the local shifter bar, it seems like it could be their safe haven. But what she doesn't expect, is for her new boss to be the man she once loved. The man who turned his back on her and broke her heart. If it wasn't for the fact that Jess and her sister are so desperate, she would walk right back out those doors. So she accepts the job but stays as far away from the bear as she possibly can, she won't let him break her heart again.

Simon Voss is shocked to find out one of his new employees his the woman he once loved, still loves. A she-wolf he was forced to turn his back on and thought was dead. When Simon is obliged to not only hire Jess but work side by side with her everyday, it makes him and his bear crazy. Half in heaven, half in hell. His never forgotten her, and by the anger radiating off her she hasn't forgotten him either. But with trouble heading their way, is this just another path to heartbreak or will he get another chance to claim his destined mate?


This was a amazing book, a fantasic start to a new series. I loved the storyline, it was entertaining and very enjoyable. The characters were so sweet, and I really felt sorry for Simon and Jess and all they had to go through to get to where they wanted to be, where they were destined to be. As I did for Soren as well. So I'm really looking forward to reading his and Janna's stories. It was nice to catch up with old friends as well. So overall a awesome read, loved it!

I've only read a couple of these great stories but I know most of these authors and they are great at what they do. Here are my reviews for the ones I have read. You have to get your own copy because theses shifter alphas are damn good book boyfriends to love.

Damnation by Anna Lowe

This is a great beginning to a new series Simon is a bear shifter who found his mate in Jess a wolf shifter. However things didn't go quite how they planned but fate gives them a second chance. A purist group of wolf shifters destroys their pack and clan. Jess and her sister Janna are on the run from the purist and they find refuge with another pack where they get jobs at a saloon. Bear brothers Soren and Simon run the saloon they too have been accepted by the pack of wolf shifters.

I really enjoyed unveiling this story and I look forward to Janna and Cole's story. I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review but loved it so much that I bought it as well.

Shared by the Bear Clan by Lynn Red

Wow this is a great beginning to a serial. Adrianna has dreams that turn out to be real. She gets lured into the forest where a battle seems to be happening between wolves and bears. Grave, Craze and Wild are bear shifters that Adrianna has dreamed about then she meets them in the forest where they save her life and that is just the beginning.

I was given an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. I also bought this for my own collection. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

There you have it folks. I cannot wait to get the chance to finish this set. You gotta give this set a chance.

[Linda Levine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love these sets. I have discovered many of my favorite authors while reading them. This one includes a lot of great material.

Damnation by Anna Lowe is a great read. This is the first book in a new series about a wolf shifter named Jessica and a bear shifter named Simon who find out they are mates. If you love the Twin Moon Ranch series, you definitely want to check out this new series which includes some of your favorite charters like Tina and Ty. I encourage you to read the prequel Perfection as well.

Both Jessica and Simon thought they had lost everything when a rogue pack killed their families. Jessica and her sister have been on the run for months when they meet Tina and she offers them a place to work and live. Simon and his brother thought everyone had died in the wolf and bear communities and are shocked to see them. Things did not end well for them before the attack and it is hard for them to work together. They will have to be honest and open if they want to heal the wounds.

I like the new characters as well as the fact that we get to see characters we know and love from the other series. Jessica is a strong, smart woman who has faced a great tragedy but not given up. Simon loves her and thought he was doing the right thing but it caused her tremendous pain. He is a very loving man and very devoted to those he loves. I was eager for these two to resolve their differences and find their way back together. The other books in the series are great too and another is set to release later this year.

I received a copy in return for a honest review.

This is a review for Damnation, a standalone series opener and a great addition to the Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch series. In a follow-up to the prequel, Perfection, Simon Voss and his older brother Soren, bear shifters, have opened the Blue Moon Saloon at the edge of the Twin Moon Ranch wolf pack's territory. Tina, sister of the TMR pack's Alpha, Ty, has been helpful in getting them settled after their induction into the pack. Six months earlier in Montana, their bear clan was wiped out by the Blue Bloods, a pack of rogue purists, while the brothers were away. They tracked and killed the rogues involved, but know that other Blue Bloods are still out there, hunting.
Jessica Macks and her younger sister, Janna, inexplicably escaped the carnage when their Montana wolf pack was attacked and wiped out by Blue Bloods. They have been running ever since. Now, tired and broke, they have stopped in a small Arizona town, looking for work. They meet Tina, who offers them a place to stay and a job. But when she takes them to the Blue Moon Saloon to meet the owners, they recognize each other. And there is a chorus of "This will never work!" Because Simon was forced by his alpha to renounce the mate he found and loved in Perfection. And she hates him for his rejection. But with the rogues tracking the Mack sisters, can they put the past behind them and work together long enough to earn a stake for a future far away from the rogues, the Blue Moon and the Voss brothers.

This is a review for Damnation by author Anna Lowe only.

Jessica Macks and her sister came to Twin Moon Ranch to start over after her pack was killed but she never expected to run into the man who broke her heart. Simon Voss and his brother hunted down the rouges who killed his clan and his mates pack but he thought he lost her forever in the tragic killings. Now can he keep her safe from the last of the rouges that want her and her sister dead.

I received an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. This is book 1 of the series Blue Moon Saloon by the author and it is also linked with the Twin Moon Ranch series also by the author.

I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review by author Lynn Red. This is part 1 of the new series by the author.

Adriana has been having strange dreams involving 3 werebears for a while now and when she is an escort to a bus load of kids things take a strange turn. A child goes missing but no one knows her and there is howls and growls heard in the distance of the area they are on a bus trip for. When she goes looking for the child she gets surrounded by wolves and is saved by her 3 werebears from her dream. Now she must wait for an answer to all her questions.

This is a fantastic collection of hot sexy shifters and the women who fall for them.

I truly believe once you start reading this you will not want to put it down. Anna Lowe's Blue Moon Saloon first book is just the beginning of a dynamite series. I love how Anna pulls into the story and make you believe you are there. I also love that she brings back your favorite characters from Twin Moon so you have feel for the you are reading about. The new characters are just as amazing and smoking hot. Jess never imagine she would be happy again as she was before that tragic day she and her baby sister Janna loss their whole clan and her mate rejected her. Simon never realized he would get a second chance to protect and be with his one true love. His mate. So, once this chance came he made sure he protected what's his at any means necessary. Simon and Soren dug themselves a grave and stayed there for a week waiting for fate to take away. How could they survive when their true mates were perished by the rogue pack the Blue Bloods bent on keeping the wolf bloodline pure. Oh yeah, Did I mentioned that Simon and Soren were bears? Well, surprise ! surprise! They wind up in Twin Moon and given a second chance. They took over the Blue Moon Saloon. Don't wanna give the story away. Imma need you to read it for yourself. The dragons in this book gonna have you fanning yourself.

This is a review of Damnation by Anna Lowe.

Damnation is the first book in the Blue Moon Saloon series that starts with Jessica and Simon. Jessica is a she-wolf on the run with her sister from a bunch of rogues who killed her family and are after them. Simon and his brother are bears and they too are escaping some rogue killers that took out their family and pack.
Jessica and her sister are taken in by Simon and his brother to work in their saloon and live above it. Did I mention that Jessica and Simon were once lovers looking forward to a lifetime together? Both of them never got over their lost love. But what caused this pain? Can they overcome their past together to build a future? I was rooting for them the whole time. You can totally feel the tension and pain while they endured working together. Of course, it wouldn't be a great book if there wasn't some extra tension when the rogue killers eventually track down Jessica and her sister while Simon is away with his brother. I was definitely on the edge of my couch!

This story was awesome! I can't wait to read the rest of the stories in this book!

This is a review of Anna Lowe's Damnation:
Jessica and Janna are she-wolves on the run hoping a shifter bar is a good place to hide out; ending the flight they’ve been on since their parents were killed. Unfortunately, Jess runs into the man she once loved bear-shifter Simon. Simon and his brother Soren lost everything in an ambush months prior, his home and family included. Their jobs at the Blue Moon Saloon are a fresh start for them too. When Jessica applies for a job Simon must work half in heaven, half in hell with the she-wolf his clan forced him to reject years before. He hasn’t forgotten her, and she hasn’t forgiven him.
Besides working together, they also live in the quarters above the bar together. The result of past hurts make the situation tense and the misunderstandings continue to escalate to a flash point. Dangers still threaten the sisters, but the biggest danger is to Jess’ heart.

Full of growly bears, feisty wolves, siblings, bar fights, rogue wolves, fated mates and destiny!

I received an ARC for an honest review. I haven't read all of the stories yet but every story I've read so far, I have liked .Bearly a Bride is a story of a bear shifter who lost his leg in the military and is trying to cope with the changes in his life. He meets a widow mother of 2 year old twins when he saves her sons life. The romance between the two is sweet and touching. Damnation is about a bear shifter and a wolf shifter who are meant to be mates but circumstances have seperated them. She thinks he doesn't love her and he had tried to make her hate him for her own good. Now thier worlds have fallen apart and they are thrown together working in a bar. Watching them overcome their past was great. In Stranded with a Wolf, The heroine is a PA to the CEO and a wolf shifter. A blizzard has struck Chicago and she is stuck at work because her boss is clueless about the weather. They end up stranded in a office building for the weekend. He has been trying to ignore his mating urge until he is forced to protect and provide for her. He definitely keeps her warm.
