Tainted Hearts

Tainted Hearts: A Dark Omegaverse by Jenn D. Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What can I say, I'm so glad this author is back!

This is is a fantastic story. Sierra is an omega witch, trying to live under the radar, when her past comes flooding back. Soddenly she has three Alpha mates and a prophecy to fulfil.

The characters are wonderful, and work well together. Sierra grows so much as a character throughout the story as she learns more about who and what she is. The rebuilding of the relationship between Callum and Rowen is well told, as are the reasons they grew apart as children. Archer is one of a kind! All three of them fit so well with Sierra making a powerful bond.

The heat in this is off the charts, and it's definitely on my do not read at work list! The plot is solid and all the pieces tie together well.

This is the first in a duet, so it ends on a cliffhanger, and I can't wait for the next book to see how everything resolves.

Knot Beneath the Mistletoe by Harley Knight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a fun read, and perfect for this time of year!

Ruby is an unmated omega, up against a timeline to mate or lose her livelihood to her wonderfully evil cousin - seriously, maybe it's my age, but he reminded me of a character from a Saturday morning cartoon in the best ways!

Her three alphas as sweet, possessive, and hot, and the complete opposite of everything she's grown to expect. Each one is wonderful in his own right, but when they come together, they are absolutely what she needs.

There's just the right amount of conflict and drama for the story, and of course, it's happily ever after, with a set up for the next book. I love series where you move from one group to another but keep up with the previous ones. Just what you need post Christmas!

Midlife Shifter Unexpected -Cougar Creek Coven #2

Midlife Shifter Unexpected: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel by Melle Amade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loving the series so far

This is the second in the series of quirky midlife romances, and I'm loving it so far! In this book, we learn more about Bianca, who we briefly met in book one, along with Matheus the bar tender and the Cougar Creek Coven. There's a good balance between developing the new characters, this book's story, and building on the story arc for the rest of the series. We also meet Jane, one of Bianca's sorority sisters, who looks to be the lead for the next book - which I can't wait to read.

Lotus: Big Easy Bound

Lotus: Big Easy Bound by Nikki Jacks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great follow up

In Lotus, our FMC ran away from her family in New Orleans and found happiness in Silver Springs. Now, she has to go back and face her family who are trying to cause more trouble, hoping to stop them forever. I love these characters, and I'm glad Maryn got more page time - I'd love to see her get her own book, someday! There was an inevitability to the ending, but I'm happy Lotus can continue her new life in peace!

Savaged - Santa Catalina University #4

Savaged by Bianca Riley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One thing I love about shared universe series is getting to discover new authors that haven't previously been on my radar, and this is a great example.

Alissa has arrived at Santa Catalina University knowing that she's different, even for a supe. Add in several hot guys, a stalker and some mystery, and this is a fab read. Looking forward to seeing where Alissa's story goes next!

Shrouded in the Dark

Shrouded in the Dark by Aspen Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm late to the party with this one, but I love the shared universe that Aspen Black and Jenn D Young are creating with these books.

Although each book can be read stand alone, there are plenty of cross overs between them. I'd already read Emerging from the Dark, so it was interesting to read this, knowing what happens there!

I love the larger than life heroines, and the protective alphas. There were a lot of mysteries and twists to keep you going, but there's a satisfying conclusion! I;m just curious where these guys will pop up next!
