Love Bites
Love Bites is a collection of six steamy romances where one bite from these sexy Alphas is never enough.
Six hungry Alphas with one thing on their minds. Read about the women who entered their lairs and came out with more than they bargained for. Only one thing is for sure…Love Bites.
Bump in the Night by Élianne Adams
Libbie’s self-imposed seclusion has kept the ghosts, goblins, and bad memories at bay. But when she’s guilted into going out on Halloween night, her whole world is turned upside down. Now not only does she have to face her demons, she has to fight them—and win—or lose her mate forever.
Lion and the Doe by Kristen Strassel
Lions toy with their prey before they kill it. When Leo intercepts a doe from wandering straight into a hunter’s bullseye, he falls in love with her instead. Daphne’s been sent to find her mate and finds someone she knows isn’t a buck, but she never imagined he’d be her most dangerous predator.
Gretel by Kim Faulks
A dark fairytale not for the feint hearted. The death of my father left a hole in my family. Left bankrupt, my brother, Hansel is forced to sell our furniture and our jewels, but refuses to sell our home. Hansel looks at me now with the devil in his eyes. There’s only one who can save me from the fate Hansel has planned--my Ghost in the darkness, my wolf.
Untamed by Laxmi Hariharan
Leana only ever wanted to be 100% human. An unexpected encounter with the Hugging Saint of Bombay forces her to face the wolf inside, with unexpected consequences.
The Devil's Fool by Rachel McClellan
Power - that's the only thing that mattered to those who raised her. After a lifetime of fighting against them, Eve finally finds a way out from under the witches' thumb...only to end up under the devil's instead.
Resounding Desolation by Jade Lewis
The Hunters of the Great Circle have been around since the beginning of time, the church having spawn them into existence out of necessity. With nothing more than faith and courage, they have fought back the darkest creatures to spare humanity hell's wrath. Sadly enough, their gifts often come at the price of their souls…

So far I have only read Gretel by Kim Faulks. "In the darkest moments, you can find peace , even if you need to spill a little blood to get there.". Darkness and depravity await Gretel when her father dies, she just doesn't know it until it's too late. Will Gretel escape? What happens when her Wolf comes for her? Keeping this short and sweet to avoid giving away spoilers. Enjoy! This book has been provided by the author with no expectations and that in no way influences my review.

Their are some great books included in this set. These are full stories but some do end on cliffhangers and have other books in the series,
Bump in the Night by Élianne Adams
I read this one previously. It is one of the shorter reads in the series. She is able to communicate with ghosts. She has had some difficult situations recently and has preferred to be alone. She gives in to a friend and goes out on Halloween. There she meets a shifter that she really connects to but they have some danger to face before they have a chance at love. It is a well written story and I enjoyed the characters.
Lion and the Doe by Kristen Strassel
You don't get as many stories about doe shifters. They have a unique way to meet their mates and in this case it puts her in danger. She meets Leo who she knows is a paranormal but he is keeping his secrets. I liked the story.
Gretel by Kim Faulks
I read this one previously. It is a very dark tale and nothing like the story you have heard before. Gretel and Hansel are twins who as teens have grown apart. Gretel's mother has never been kind to her and she relies on her father for love. Their mother is exceptionally close to Hansel as he grows up. When their father is murdered, she faces great danger. Other than her father, the one thing she loves and relies on is her wolf. Ghost saves her and becomes her protector and so much more. There are a lot of dark twists in the story and I will not revel them. Be prepared for a level of cruelty you don't often see in this genre.
Untamed by Laxmi Hariharan
This is an interesting story of a woman trying to find her way and wanting to resolve the past. She is a wolf shifter and wants to have a normal life. It leads her to Bombay and a new mission. It definitely ends with a lot left unresolved.
The Devil's Fool by Rachel McClellan
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Eve is a very intriguing character. She is raised by horribly abusive parents who are witches and want her to use her abilities to gain them power. She refuses but pays severe penalties for her refusal. Boaz enters her life and offers her a chance at a different life. He is a very powerful vampire and encourages her to utilize her magic. He is very good at seduction. Eve is faced with difficult choices as she explores her new life with Boaz. There are so many twists and turns in the story and you will be very surprised where it all goes in the end. The characters are very complex and make unexpected choices. It ends on a cliff-hanger that leaves you eager for me. I look forward to reading more books in the series.
Resounding Desolation by Jade Lewis
This is another really good read that leaves you wanting more. It is about a woman that has lived for hundreds of years fighting demons and trying to find out the truth about her brother and whether he is alive. She is meant to be alone but is very tempted by one of the members of her group. I really enjoyed the story and the characters.

I've only read one so far and that is Laxmi Hariharan's "Untamed." This story is filled with so many emotions. We have a young hybrid shifter, Leana. who has always hated what she is and wants only to be human. She also is afraid that humans will learn about her parentage. Although she says she doesn't believe what people are saying about a young boy called the "Hugging Saint", she somehow finds herself going to the temple to see him. When she finally gets her hug, she becomes angry at what he tells her. This leads her to commit a horrific act and finally leads her to accept what she truly is. Talk about not wanting to give spoilers; I left you plenty of clues but to get the complete story and learn all about Leanna you need to get this book. For a complete picture of this series you can also pick up a free copy of her "Feral" book as well as the other books in the series. If you love reading dystopian, shifter stories with some romance thrown in, this series is definitely for you and you'll discover a very different type of story than your use to in these genre's. It's a fantastic story, with a very different dystopian story and some eye opening characters

I have 2 of the books and they are both awesome so here is my review for them.
UnTamed (Many Lives Spinoff Series #2)
by Laxmi Hariharan, NY Times Bestselling Author
As the stories progress we now learn of the origin of Leanna. Once again we meet a strong woman in Ruby's blood line. We get some answers and completion to some open issues and get to meet and find out about who she is. As she comes to term with who she is we see not only an acceptance but a peace and growth. Awesome book. I love the characters and how it doesn't drag but develops. Love that we get real glimpse into the characters which bring them to life. Patiently impatiently awaiting the next book.
The Devil's Fool (Devil Series, #1)
by Rachel McClellan
I loved this book. You can't help but be pulled into the life of Eve and push for her to come out on top. I really enjoyed how the characters were introduced, how the story developed and I even liked how it ended although I was really not ready for it to end. A very unique supernatural book. I can't wait to read more!!

Love Bites is an Anthology including novellas by Élianne Adams, Kristen Strassel, Kim Faulks, Laxmi Hariharan, Rachel McLellan and Jade Lewis.
My first review is on Bump in The Night by Élianne Adams.
I really enjoyed everything about this novella. From the characters, to the story, to the writing, to the imagination of the world Élianne has created. This story has everything you could possibly meet in a paranormal story, Witches, Daemons, Werewolves, Angels, Goblins and Ghosts. Élianne was able to create so much in such a short amount of time without sacrificing plot, pace or character building. A very enjoyable and satisfying read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MEH.....
I liked the first book. I felt that the rest of the books were long and drawn-out without the stories actually progressing.
I was also disappointed that there were no HEA's or actual endings especially since the "Books" we're SO LONG!

Excellent box set by some very talented writers. At the beginning of the book there is a short blurb about each story in the book. Each reader can decide which story they would like to read or read them all.

Read most
I enjoyed the set. I did not read one of the stories, by Kim Faulks I can not read molestation and incest. She said it was dark I am unsure how much of that played in the story, but didn't want to chance it.

Of the six stories, three were ok, one was good enough to make me interested in purchasing the rest of the series to find out what happened to the characters and two I was unable even to finish. I feel bad writing this, but I would only read if free or on a discount.
December 1, 2016
The only story worth reading was the first one. Untamed was in my opinion, horrible. Main character was so unlikeable. So called pranks were mean and vicious.
December 5, 2016
Most good, but cliffhangers
I read all but one that I was just unable to finish. Good stories, but cliffhangers. The last 2 are authors I will definitely read more from.

Next book please
Each of these books leads me to want the next set. I enjoyed each book and liked the characters and the realistic way of emotional turmoil involved.
