Blurb/Summary:

A wounded warrior tormented by madness…
Finds the one woman who can bring him back from the brink.
Can Christine and Roarn fight the odds to be together?
And will she dare to try…Taming the Tiger?

Christine is a single mom with an empty nest. Now approaching menopause, she thinks she has nothing to look forward to but loneliness. That is, until she finds a strange man-beast caught in a trap on her land.

Roarn is a Tiger Monstrum Kindred trapped in a mental state called The Fury. Ever since a traumatic incident in battle five years before, he has been more beast than man, living on his animal instincts without the ability to reason or think. That is, until he smells Christine and her scent clears The Fury from his head.

A relationship quickly grows between the mismatched pair—Roarn finds the beautiful Mature Elite irresistible—he needs to scent and taste her to keep The Fury at bay—and Christine is more than willing to help him. But Roarn is a fugitive bound for prison and the other Monstrum are looking for him. Christine knows she can only hide him for so long before he is found. And when her drug-dealer neighbors start stirring up trouble, it seems their time is even shorter than she feared.

Can Christine and Roarn fight the odds to be together? Will The Fury return and rob Roarn of his reason? And can Christine bring him back from the brink?
Read Taming the Tiger to find out…

Review:

Great characters, both courageous and flawed. Christine is an older woman that has experience with loss, children, divorce, and a career with animals. She’s the perfect woman to help Roarn through his Fury. She is selfless, bold, and smart.

Roarn is stuck in a horrible cycle of guilt, anger, sadness, and regret. The mental illness that is the Fury is keeping him from living his life. He’s kind, caring, brave, and has survived a war. Roarn is someone that just needs some extra care.

Their growing relationship is fraught with danger and suspense. There is a criminal element near Christine’s home and Roarn is wanted by his own people. They must be on constant guard. I rather enjoy that Evangeline Anderson always makes sure the bad/evil characters get what they deserve. She doesn’t discriminate when it comes to justice.

Taming the Tiger is an intriguing erotic paranormal story with a fast-moving plot and fun characters. We are introduced to the Monstrum Mothership in this book. I really hope we get to see more of it in the future because the small introduction was chock-full of creative and imaginative ideas.

Highly recommend this story if you are looking for an erotic romance with a paranormal/alien aspect.

I received this ARC for an honest review.

Blurb/Summary:

Moves Like Jagger, the eagerly anticipated 4th book in the Wolf Mates series by USA Today bestselling author Dakota Cassidy is here. Return to Cedar Glen for a laugh-out-loud cast of characters and a mystery to solve. Love is in the air and danger is on the horizon in this holiday romp in the woods.

The weather outside is frightful, but the romance is so delightful in Cedar Glen! 

Vivienne Hathaway is a cat shifter who's still learning about the ways of the paranormal. Sometimes she finds herself in a bit of a mess as she works out the kinks.

Like looking out from the inside of a dog crate.

Naked.

And on her way to be spayed.

EEK!

When she meets hot bear-shifter, Jagger Dubrov and Cedar Glen's local mobile veterinarian during a catch and release program designed to thwart the population of feral cats in his new hometown, Jagger mistakenly catches Viv, and it's all out holiday magic at first sight.

As Viv and Jagger begin a perfectly fine Christmas romance and get to know each other over eggnog and mistletoe, a problem lurks. Someone’s hunting pets and killing the wildlife in Cedar Glen, a strictly forbidden practice. And that someone? They also want Viv dead.

Review:

You won’t want to miss this little gem of a story.  Dakota Cassidy brings us back to Cedar Glen for Vivienne Hathaway and Jagger Dubrov’s story.  In case you are new to the series, Cedar Glen is a small town of shape-shifters most of them werewolves.  However, diversity is hitting the little town. 

Vivienne Hathaway is a cat-shifter that is best friends with the alpha’s wife JC.  Vivienne is down on her luck and is accepting the help of both JC and Max the werewolf alpha.  She finally feels free enough to shift and run through the town and surrounding woods, that is until she gets caught by Jagger Dubrov.

Jagger Dubrov is Cedar Glen’s newest arrival and is setting up shop as the mobile veterinarian for the area.  He accidentally traps and catches Vivienne during her cat shift.  Hilarity ensues from that point on. Vivienne and Jagger’s comments, quips, and inside jokes had me laughing out loud.  Their chemistry together is palpable.

As they get to know one another and share their love of animals there is someone in the shadows ready to rip them apart.  There is just enough mystery and suspense in this romance to keep you turning the pages as fast as you can.

Moves Like Jagger is a great holiday read for all of you that like to read seasonally.  Dakota Cassidy artfully combined Christmas, mystery, romantic comedy, paranormal romance, and a HEA ending into a fun story to read.  I fell in love with this couple and you will too.

Blurb/Summary:

The Fey Realm, Book 2

Embor Fiertag, Primary of the Court, has overcome no tougher challenge than the three facing him right now: get reelected, capture the rogue agents who tried to murder him, and improve his love life. The third one should be easy—except he hasn’t exactly told Court trainee Anisette Serendipity she’s his foretold bondmate. Plus, she’s dating his chief political rival and doesn’t seem to like Embor. At. All. Ani has good reason to avoid the stern, serious Embor. Her wayward sister almost got him killed once, and now he monitors Ani like he expects her to do worse. But Ani’s not the adventurous type. She can’t even break up with Warran Torval, a man she knows she doesn’t want, a man who spends half his time plotting Embor’s downfall. When Torval attempts to force a bond with Ani, Embor senses her fear and steps in…directly into an unsavory political strategy gone all too right. Forced to flee together to humanspace with a manipulative magical cat, Embor and Ani must find the courage to reveal—and heal—their vulnerabilities before the fabric between the Fey Realm and humanspace is ripped to shreds. Warning: This title contains sex, fairy drugs, rampant gnomes, bloodshed, and cats ruling the world. As they should.

Review:

If you're looking for a different kind of romance book, look no further than Jody Wallace's One Thousand Kisses. Ms. Wallace's imagination is stunning; she creates such an interesting and wonderful world in this delightful book. The storyline is fresh and exciting, as are the characters in it. I had an absolute blast reading this! I am going to have to go back and get the first book, as One Thousand Kisses is the second book in the Fey Realm Series.

The dialogue is humorous and portrays a lot of emotion. The scenes were described well, but not overly done and I had a great sense of imagery in my mind as I read this.

If you enjoy fantasy romance, then you may enjoy One Thousand Kisses. I enjoyed it, and certainly suggest other readers read it as well.
