Untamed
Good Medicine... Working as a laundress at Lolo'a Pleasure Palace, Josie Baum doesn't know anything about playing nursemaid. But when a Cheyenne warrior whisks her off to care for his friend, Daniel McCord, she doesn't have a choice. Suddenly Josie is alone in a remote mountain cabin with a man who expects her to do all of his household chores-and cater to his every whim. After many years of cooking and cleaning for her fifteen step-brothers and father, she isn't about to spend the rest of her days serving someone as pompous as Daniel McCord...even if he did happen to quicken her pulse every time he was near. ...For A Proud Man On The Mend Half-Cheyenne, Daniel has only one desire-to right the wrongs done to his people. He isn't ready for the new hunger that stirs deep within him at the sight of Josie's glowing, fair-skinned loveliness or her resistance to his charms. But determined to melt the heart of this willful, intoxicating beauty, he will use every skill of seduction to make her his.

Absolutely loved this duology by Crystal Jordan. I was right in the mood for an erotic shifter tale, and these two were delicious. First up, lynx Delilah and hawk Hunter. He's a reclusive billionaire, she's a cat burglar (tee hee) who steals priceless artifacts on demand. He catches her in the act, and she must atone by a week in his bed. SHENANIGANS. And there is a certain scene with a statue. *wink wink*
Next up was MMF mink Lorelei, grey wolf Pierce and jaguar Nolan. Hot, hot HOT. She owns the raunchiest sex club in town (called Tail!!) Pierce is a government agent, and Nolan is an escort/hired assassin. They are all fighting an attraction to each other. Nolan's on a job where things turn to custard, Pierce rescues him and returns him to Tail. SHENANIGANS in a hot tub. Also, Tail sounds like the perfect venue for a hen's party. Seriously.

This book is actually 2 in 1. I absolutely love books like this because I feel like I get more bang for my buck. It’s been a while since I’ve had the time to read a shifter romance and I have missed them!! For whatever reason (probably my kitty ways) I love shifter stories more than anything else. I love the idea of being able to shift into something else at any given moment.
The first book in this set is Stolen Temptation. In a post apocalyptic world human now have the ability to shift and in this world you are either hunter or the hunted. Delilah is a thief and a damn good one at that. She’s been hired to steal a priceless ruby from Hunter. Little did she know she would get caught. Hunter is livid that someone would dare try to steal his possessions. Then he realizes the thief is also his mate. After convincing her to stay with him for a week in exchange for not being turned in he hopes to work her out of his system. I absolutely loved both of these characters. Each has their own past that has led them to not trust easily. I always love seeing characters fight the attraction. The fight always makes the ending that much sweeter. There is a good chunk of action in this one. The sex is awesome and the passion between the two is undeniable.
Deadly Temptation is next and now we get to learn more about Delilah’s sister Lorelei. She owns a techno brothel named Tail. I mean seriously that right there tells you that she must be awesome!! Pierce is a police officer that keeps telling himself he shouldn’t want Lorelei but he does. He also wants Nolan, a shifter with his own secret who works in the brothel. Lorelei wants them both but makes it a point not to mix business with pleasure. This one gets a little complicated as truths are revealed and danger lurks. If the characters fought the attraction in the first one they downright had a war in this one. lol Pierce pushes his mates away and they let him at first but you can’t fight nature and in the end, after a lot of heartache, a few ass hole moves, and banging heads against walls they find their way back to each other. Again super hot sex involving m/m, m/m/f, m/f, and m/f/m. With all those letters how can you really go wrong?!
Both of these together make a wonderful book that is more than worth a read. It was very easy for me to connect with the characters and I couldn’t wait to read the next book in the series to see who else’s story was told. I love a good series and this is not just good, it’s excellent.

This is a two story book, the first one, Untamed is about Delilah and Hunter. It's pretty good and I was surprised about the writing, I thought it was gonna be lame but it wasn't at all. A looot of sex, some funny and sweet moments. I liked both characters and the plot was interesting enough.
The last story was about Delilah's sister, Lorelei, and her two lovers... now this one was pretty stupid and quite laaame!, Pierce was a jerk, Lorelei acted as a complete doormat and Nolan was so needy and girlish, it was painful to read sometimes.

Shifters 2 in 1 stories. Not a part of the “Carnal Desires” series of books. Takes place on earth.

Two stories in one! Hot! M/F, M/M, M/F/M

Two short stories, very heavy on the sexual scenes. Both entertaining but not a deep read in the slightest.

Too many holes/problems in the story.
