I received Aidy Award's book Bite Me as an advanced reader's copy and volunteered to review. If the other books are anywhere near as entertaining, this collection will be one I read over and over! If sexy shifters are your thing, this book is a steal!

Trust Me (A Kindred Novel) by Moxie North

Faye has worked for Thayr International for two years as a mail clerk and has always gone out of her way to blend in, preferring to avoid drawing attention to herself. After a rough childhood and spending her teen years in foster care, Faye worked hard for what little she had and was determined to make something of herself. She might've had a fascination with her boss, Gideon, a Kindred Leopard, but she preferred to indulge it from afar

Gideon is used to the attention being a Kindred has brought him, and tends to keep to himself as much as possible. He may come off a little surly or approachable, but it's a defense mechanism in it's own way. When he sees Faye in his office delivering his mail, something she usually hands to his assistant, Sabrina, he's not only shocked but instantly intrigued. Unfortunately, it wasn't the greatest first impression and he worries, after she doesn't show up for work the next business day, that he upset her. He can't resist the urge to check on her.

What he finds is a very sick Faye and his desire to take care of her is overwhelming. Though Faye protests at first, Gideon refuses to listen and does everything in his considerable power to help her get better. As they spend time together while she's recovering, a friendship begins forming while their attraction grows stronger.

However, Gideon hasn't heard the mating call and both know without it, their relationship could only ever be temporary, leading to a broken hearted Faye when he finds his true mate. But, that doesn't stop the pull between them now the desire for more. Thankfully, Gideon finally hears it and can't contain his happiness. Now he and Faye can be together without any worries and enjoy a long and happy life together.

Faye though, always feeling as if she's less than, whether on her own or through how others treated her, has doubts. She believes she's not worthy of Gideon, but assures her it's in fact the opposite.

Can Faye accept that Gideon's feelings for her are real? Will she take a chance on a future with Gideon? Will Gideon be able to convince Faye she's the only woman for him? Is a HEA possible for these two?

One-click now and follow along as Gideon and Faye finally get the love they've both craved but never thought they'd have. I really hope Sabrina gets a story too. I'd love to follow the journey she and her mate will take.

***I voluntarily reviewed this book for K.L. Bone, all opinions are my own.****

I only read Embracing the Dragon: Flames of Kalleen by KL Bone from this book set, since I am a mega fan of hers and always read when she comes out with as soon as I can. This book was different than most of her other books, however it had the same KL Bone charm that all of her other works have. I personally love dragon stories and I love KL Bone's writing, so I knew this was going to be a hit, and it definitely was. I loved Amelia's character, so strong and badass at the same time. The world building was beautiful and terrifying at the same time, I couldn't help but sympathize with Amelia and her betrayal. However, the shining light in the tunnel was Conner and Chris. I couldn't have asked for a better duo to come into the picture for Amelia and even though that cliffhanger made me a little nervous, I hope for good things to come. Also, another notable character was Gwain. LOVED him.

I can't wait to see what will happen next for these characters. If the rest of the book set is like this book, I will be buying the whole set. I love a good shifter story. As always, thanks for a great read KL Bone! :)

5 stars.

Received finding tempest by Sascha Illyvich in exchange for a honest review.

This was my first read of author Sascha Illyvich and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was what I expected. We have a imaginative twist on the vampire/fae world that has a mc twist to it.

Jonas was the vampire that you thought to be wary of but couldn’t be. He just was not what you expect. He was desperate and full of guilt. Trying to do right by his sister and in the process he falls in love. In love with a half-breed. The half-breed who can help him. Only she is also carrying cargo his MC club the Undead Souls wants..

Tempest is a tough cookie. She is wanting just to do this last job and retire. This job though doesn’t go at all as expected. She has two MC clubs go after her and so many bumps in the road that she fears she will not get her job done in time. It is also how she meets Jonas. The one who lights a fire in her but also frustrates her.

The attraction between the two is palpable and the banter is a hoot. She gives as good as she gets. And boy does she dish it out. She also protects her heart due to her past and how she has been treated to this point. It frustrates her to no end to be feeling something for Jonas. Jonas who was wanting to rob her but needed her as well.

The adventure they go on across the faery land is entertaining and full of twists. You never know who is on their side and if they will make it to their destination.

The story itself is fast paced and has a nice build of the different lands. We learn about how Jonas and his club ended up in the fae lands. The different groups that are there and what the end game is. Only the end game seems to be changing and it is engrossing to see what is really going on.

A fun entertaining imaginative story that keeps you engrossed and hoping that love wins out with Tempest and Jonas in this adventurous tale that has some really sexy scenes and great sassy banter.

I haven't read the complete collection but if all the stories are of teh same quality as Release Me from Nina Croft then it's a definitive must read.

i had the opportunity to read an arc of Release Me so i can give you my opinion on it without delay
For my first step into this universe i was happily surprised as i didn't feel as i was missing any important elements, we get a few background info and learn more about the universe along the story, so even if it's book 3 you can start with this one and, like me, jump on what you missed after.

Finn is an alpha but one very protective...and i guess the wolf part is part of the reason that while alpha he doesn't try to dominate Rachel. On the contrary, he still feel guilty for what happened thousand years ago and he is willing to pay for that.
I loved to see him try to do the right thing.

Rachel has a kind of secluded life but for someone with her power it was probably best as she is really a good person, she is very innocent and following her instinct. She grew on me very quickly.

I loved the universe with angel, fallen ( or so called) angel but more importantly i loved to se how each character lived the situation and still kept hope.

i would say that i only regretted 2 things, one part 2 (or max3) paragraphs seemed to me as repetition and in such a short book, i don't need to have explanation repeated to me ( then in an arc it can happen and final version could differ slightly so it didn't affect my opinion). Then...the ending i would have loved to know more about what Gabriel thought of Cassia intervention because it should definitively count as a breach of the contract and i would have loved to see the reaction of the wolves after but it's only me

so i do recommend this book if you love paranormal romance with fallen angel and shifters

Bite Me By Aidy Award

I have only read the story by Aidy Award in this collection so far.....

This is Aidy's third book in the Dragons Love Curves Series. One would think that you would tire of reading about Dragonshifters. This is definitely not the case. This is another amazing story with a lot of humor, suspense and action. This story is about Dragonshifter, Ky and Jada who is a succubus. Who knew that these two opposites would end up with each other. Ky knew the moment he saw Jada that she was his true mate. Jada not so much. The sexual chemistry between them is off the charts, but at first Jada in not on board with all the true mate scenario.

For a succubus, Jada lacks confidence and does not realize or accept the power that she possesses. Ky has no doubt in her abilities and is relentless in his pursuit to claim her as his own. He guides her to a place where he knows they both should be together as true mates. I love the character development between these two and Aidy shines in this area.

I love opposites attract stories, and Aidy does not disappoint. I cannot wait until the next installment of this remarkable series.

In this box set, i went straight to read Bite Me by Aidy Award, the third installment in the Dragons Love Curves series, I’m a great fan of it.
Even if it is best to have read the two previous books, it can be read as a standalone.
While I loved Ky character, the blue dragon, one alpha male who knows what he wants and goes for it. Never doubting what faith has in stock for him and accepting fully its gift.
I have more difficult to warm up for Jada. She was no strong woman, unable to control her own self and never taking things in charge. For a succubus who must be a master in manipulating people, she can’t even think straight for herself.
While the plot progresses some more, we meet some new characters, which promise to be very interesting to learn more in the next books. I can’t wait to read more about Fallyn and Azynsa.

I can't wait to read the rest of stories in this set but I received an ARC of Bite Me for my honest review. Aidy Award has done it once again! Bite Me was a fabulously awesome amazeballs read. I don’t normally read books with dragons but the way Aidy writes with humor and depth, I couldn’t help but fall in love with THESE dragons. Ky Peru is sexy as hell and Jada is sweet, quirky and sassy. This book had everything…humor, HOT sex, suspense, HOT sex and lots of excitement. Did I mention HOT sex? I think I did. This is the third book in her Dragons Love Curves series and each one is better than the next.

I received an ARC for Dragon Lore and Love by N D Jones in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fabulous read, although I did find the beginning a bit slow but it was just the build up to the characters and the storyline.

Once the story got going, what a read! This book has everything you could wish for in a fantasy story. Friendship, love, lust, loyalty, lies, betrayal and deep hurtful loss. There are demons, dragons with magical powers both good and bad. Once this story gets going you cant put it down.

I loved this story and would definitely recommend it.

This review is for “Dragon Lore and Love” by N.D. Jones, part of the 20 Shades of Shifters anthology

I greatly enjoyed the love story of Isis and Osiris. This is a wonderful story full of love and loss, friendship and betrayal, good and evil. I loved the characters. Isis, particularly, is so strong. Even after suffering great tragedy, she does not give up, and her mother and sister were great secondary characters, too. I highly recommend this story.

I received a complimentary ARC of this story from the author. This is my honest, voluntary review.

I read an ARC of Bite Me , a book by Aidy Award. This is actually book three in a series of dragon shifter books by Ms. Award. It is Ky and Jada's story. It is a beautiful love story that also pulls the other dragon's stories together. You will get the answers to some of your questions from the first two stories. Start with Chase Me, you will not be disappointed.

I haven't read the entire collection yet, but if they are all like the story I read, it will be one great collection. I read the story Release Me by Nina Croft. This was a paranormal second chance book. I loved it. It had me hooked from the very beginning. This book was so engrossing, I read it all in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. The storyline was captivating,emotional and raw. I will definitely have to go back and read the other books from this series.

What a concept similar yet so different! The world building is amazing and detailed without over whelming the plot. The use of Egyptian Mythology to link the Dragon lore to Earth was nothing short of brilliant! The mystery surrounding the murder of Osiris and near death of Isis are wrapped in deception! It would appear it is time to take back what belongs to Dragon kind! A wonderful story full of action with a good dose of magic and mayhem! Isis and Osiris was the first story I read from the collection and it has wet my apatite for more!

20 Shades of Shifters: A Paranormal Romance Collection
by Aidy Award, Demelza Carlton,‎ Brenda Trim and Tami Julka, and various authors
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a Fabulous Paranormal Romance Collection of stories. All of the authors are talented. Romance – Non-stop romance everywhere. These characters are specialists in their field. Their love brings them together as a team and you can expect a lot of steamy hot, explosive orgasmatic partners, rescues, the love works. Not only is there romance outside – the romance inside the bedroom is swoon-worthy, but we’ll get into more as we read more of these great authors.
Locations-Each book takes the reader on a trip to a different location around the world. it’s always great to travel vicariously through my favorite characters.
Romantic locations – This series deals with situations that are happening today kidnapping of mates, hostages, dealing with all kinds of magical and non-magical villians. Amazing main characters – Each book focuses on a different lead couple. insta-love here, the authors develops the relationship. The couples do have an a scorching attraction but some are need of work, some don't need any work before anything happens. My most likable couple is Ky and Jada have a very strong love but not quite sure relationship.
The chemistry between couples – Wow! OMG Just WOW. The main couples have blazing hot chemistry in each book , especially Ky and Jada. If only every book had a Jada to make everyone else around them feel their passion, but in each book the sex is hot and steamy and some of the furniture doesn’t survive. I have read some of these authors and one of them I am a book stalker Aidy Award but I intend to read them all. My reason for reading this collection is so I that could read
Bite Me Dragons love curves series byAidy Award. I absolutely enjoyed reading this story as I am a avid reader of paranormal romance and a particular fan of Aidy Award I totally enjoy reading her books and this one is one awesome third story for Dragons love curves series. The characters are fantastic, exciting and compelling to read. This story features Ky Puru and Jada it's their time for romance and adventure. Ku Puru is a blue dragon that is enjoying his life and he isn't ready for a mate or so he thinks. Jada is human and a succubus who would rather cook and eat sweet desserts instead of blood and sexual aura. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. Let’s just say that I devoured Aidy Award books, I enjoy reading them all if I could I would read them all back to back in about two week period. But realistically I read them as soon I can get my hands on them. This latest Dragon series is funny as her books usually are it's also full of explosive sexual scenes. I couldn't put this book down until I had finished the story. Now I have had my senses all fired up with Bite Me by Aidy Award. I read
Lawson and Liv story in Captivity by Brenda Trim and Tami Julka, Then read Faye and Gideon story which is feature in TRUST ME By Moxie North, all she wanted is to have a family now Faye had a family of thousands with Gideon laughing then placing the children in the hands of the next person. With her mate she couldn’t have possibly be more excited and happy. I'm excited to read N.D. Jones, Demelza Carlton, Evelyn Lederman, ML Guida, David Adams & Alica Knight,Sascha Illyvich, Lynn Best, Lilly Cain, Vonnie Davis, Nina Croft,K.L. Bone, Kailin Gow. I feel this collection has something for everyone that is if you enjoy paranormal romance. There are a number of authors I have read but there are new authors that I haven't read but I am looking forward to reading and enjoying them. This Collection of Paranormal Romance is at a unbelievable price for a limited time but it's worth so much more. It was so hard to put my kindle reader with these books on it down. Plus I am excited to finish reading every book in this collection. If you are looking for a another collection of paranormal romance books this is definitely the one to read.

NOTE: My review is for RELEASE ME by Nina Croft

4 stars

About the book: Release Date February 14, 2018


A thousand years ago, Finn Stanton was given a chance to get back the woman he loved enough to break the laws of Heaven. All he has to do is find her, and all she has to do is say I love you.
Never going to happen.
Having drunk of the Elixir of Life, Rachel Miller’s soul is tied to the earth in a perpetual cycle of death and rebirth. A widow, she lives with her six-year-old son in a strict religious community. She has no memory of the lives she has lived, though she is haunted by a love she can’t remember and a loss she can’t overcome.
Finn has no plans to even look for his wife. He betrayed her once, and the best thing he can do for her now is stay away. But fate has a way of hijacking the best of plans and Finn comes face to face with Rachel. Now he has five days before he loses her forever.
••••••••••••••
REVIEW: RELEASE ME is the third instalment in Nina Croft’s adult STORM LORDS paranormal/ fantasy romance series focusing on a tight knit group of fallen angels who work for Stormlord Securities. This is Finn Stanton, and Rachel Miller’s story line. RELEASE ME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lie is revealed where necessary although I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion.



SOME BACKGROUND: Over two thousands years earlier a small group of angels fell in love with a number of human females so in order to extend their time, the angels stole the Elixir of Life thus eliciting revenge from Gabriel and the Heavens above. The Storm Lords series follows the now fallen angels, as they struggle to find the women they love before the thousands years of the Covenant comes to a close, and the fallen angels owe their remaining days to the Queen of the Abyss.

Told from several third person perspectives including Finn and Rachel RELEASE ME focuses on the rekindling romance between Finn Stanton and Rachel Miller. Close to two thousand years earlier Finn lost the only woman he would ever loved but in the ensuing time watched from the side lines as each reincarnation of the woman he loved meant he would continuously lose his heart and his soul. With the approach of the end of the Covenant Finn must chose between head and heart but in doing so places the woman he has always loved in the direct path of danger and death. What ensues is Finn’s slow seduction of the Rachel Miller, and the potential fall-out as someone else demands Finn’s love for all eternity.

Rachel Miller always knew she was something different. Growing up sheltered, in a strict, religious compound, our heroine has always had dreams that could not be explained. Deathly afraid of water, the young widow and mother knew immediately that Finn had always been part of her life. Finn would not break the rules again, fearing the death of the woman that called to his heart but time was running out and Rachel had yet to proclaim her love for the angel that destroyed her life.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Finn’s fellow fallen angels including Killian, Bryce, Caden Wolfe and Phoebe (Remember Me #1), Torrin Stormlord and Bella (Return to Me #2); Queen of the Abyss Lilith, and her daughter Cassia, the angel Gabriel, as well as Rachel’s grandfather Pastor Papi Stanton, her mother’s former father in law Senator Jeremy Danvers, her son Jacob, and an assortment of wolf shifters close to Finn’s heart.

RELEASE ME is an exciting tale of mythology and spirituality; a story of angels, and fallen angels; of one man’s desperate attempts to save the woman that he loves, and of one woman as she blossoms into the beauty she was always meant to be. The premise is intriguing, spell-binding and entertaining; the romance is seductive and intense; the characters are colorful and charismatic.

Embracing the Dragon by K L Bone
Wow! This book made me want to be a dragon shifter even more then before!
K L Bone has a way of making you see yourself in her work, her storyline. As I read about Amelia and her beautiful inner dragon, I wanted to be just like her. Maybe not a Princess like she is, cause if I had a sister like hers, I’d dethrone her myself. But to be free and be able to loose yourself as you fly in the night air. Amelia is a rare kind of dragon, born of the night instead of the day. Because of this, her sister, the Queen has sent her to the temples for the rest of her life. But Amelia with some help, escapes and heads for the mountains to hide and hopefully never be found by the Queen.
In the mountains Amelia meets Connor and they are drawn to each other. He helps her to except her fate and that she is going to be okay. But as she learns of her Sister’s wicked mean ways to the ones who didn’t awaken their dragon inside them at the appropriate age. The girls are born to protect their kingdom and the people in it. But there is nothing but betrayal and torture to anyone who doesn’t agree with the Queen. Amelia has to do something!
Most of K L Bone’s books don’t take long for action and high adventure. This book is different in that way. It’s not slow, but it has you feel and understand who the girls are in human and dragon form. But the wait is so worth it, as when you hit the part of Amelia confronting her sister and what happens next, oh boy is it good. And if you have read K L Bone’s other books, you know all to well that she is absolutely the best at cliffhangers. Well she doesn’t disappoint in this book either. What a jaw dropping cliffhanger!
I really enjoy K L Bone’s books because of the excitement, storylines, cliffhangers, being a part of the story and how she has you go through all your emotions as you read her books. I can’t wait for the next one!

I was gifted an ARC of one of the stories in this collection: Release Me by Nina Croft and will freely give my review of that story.

I like this book and I normally don’t read shifters except for from authors I already have read and enjoyed very much. I’ve read a few books from this author an thought I give it a chance.

What I liked:
* Good storyline with a progression in the story that’s in a good pace.
* No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
* Good amount of dialogues
* Hot and sweet love scenes
* Good characters descriptions
* Secondary characters I recognise from the two first books
* Leaving me wanting to read the rest of the seven angels stories

I like to read series in order so when I received this review copy I bought the two first books and read them. Although it’s not necessary to read in order I’m a little obsessed with order 🤷‍♀️

This is one of the better shifters stories in my limited opinion. 5 stars 🌟 because this series is on its way to be a series I probably could reread 📚

20 Shades of Shifter was filled with an array of romance from every corner of the paranormal world possible. The best of all was that it was from many different authors and gave a varying take on the world as they saw it. This gave me a hot steamy read every few nights. Something sexy to fall in to dreamland with. Some stories were well worth the read and then some more added to them. I loved so many of them, but then there were a few that just missed the mark but provided an intriguing behind the scenes. Even if you just find one or two stories that you fall in love with this one was well worth the reads.

Isis and Osiris

ND Jones has done it again! She took a dragon shifter story with names from Ancient Kemet and developed a masterpiece!! This shifter story didn’t just scratch the surface but it went deep!

Wonderful mix of intrigue and romance

Several cliffhangers with mystical background to satisfy the other-realm fantasy fix. Story lines well thought out hot sexual innuendo, battles, victories, and love what more could a reader ask for?

Just finished reading Andy Award's short story... not in par with other of her books in the series but love it.

I received a copy of Release Me, by Nina Croft, in exchange for my review (this book is one of the books in the 20 Shades of Shifters: A Paramormal Romance Collection). I was impressed by the story of the angels and I was constantly wanting to read more. I can't wait to read more about the other angels that were in the series. I'm not one for spoilers, so I will leave you to read the story. I will say that the twist at the end is not something I expected until that scene came up in the book. :)
