Blurb/Summary:

CORBIN: Wild Wolf Pack from the world of Gallize Shifters

In his late teens, Corbin fell for a female wolf shifter who, like him, was living secretly among humans. That mistaken trust cost him years of freedom and left him with a broken wolf. Now that he has escaped the Romanian gang leader who bought him, he’s hiding in a South Carolina wolf shifter pack where he wants to prove his value so he can stay. That’s why he volunteered for a security contract his pack leader accepted where they will investigate a high-value entertainment shifter whose human bodyguards keep dying. When Corbin discovers it’s the same woman who ruined his life, he’s happy to do his part in determining if she’s an innocent victim or a killer.

Gifted with a natural ability to sing, wolf shifter Eirene lives a dual life on stage performing and covertly helping female shifters running from abusive packs. She hides them from dangerous alphas and shifter law enforcement anxious to lock up rogue shifters with no pack alliance. If her secret gets out, Eirene will be fingered as a criminal and lose her protected celebrity status, but she knows what it’s like to be a female wolf shifter with no one to depend upon. Especially not a man since all of those she’s ever known have let her down, starting with the young man who stole her heart years ago then disappeared without a word.

When the third member of a security detail forced on her by her trustee is critically injured following two who died in mysterious ways, she catches a familiar scent. A wolf shifter from her past, the last person she wants to see when she can’t juggle a new problem.

With one bad decision, Eirene and Corbin land in the wrong place at the wrong time facing jackal shifters stalking them. Could it be shifter law enforcement trying to entrap Eirene or the Romanian leader hunting Corbin? They both have secrets to protect and need each other to survive, but can they trust again?

Dive into the new romantic adventure spin off series from the League of Gallize Shifters that will yank on your heart strings with every unexpected twist and pin you to the edge of your seat until the explosive ending.

Review:

Fabulous story in the Gallize Shifter world. Both Corbin and Eirene have great back stories and everyday real-life drama of “normal” shifters. Their stories each show how discrimination, easy manipulation by extortion, and poor use of power can ruin shifter lives so quickly. It was very apparent in this story that the public views shifters as dangerous and not to be trusted.

Corbin and Eirene fight to survive each day facing down the odds against them. Not only do they survive, but they choose to thrive and make a difference in the community. Eirene is a true envoy of her own making.

These two compliment on another and genuinely want what is best for each other. Their wolves lend both gravity and humor to the story allowing their humans to connect on a different level.

The story revolves around Corbin and Eirene, but there are some of the main characters from the Gallize world involved in their destiny. Corbin was a thoroughly entertaining read, and I loved the characters.

Blurb/Summary:

Can a gifted female on an impossible mission and a tortured wolf shifter doomed to die in a cage risk trust to save each other?

Bosse will never leave the cage he’s been locked in for over the past two years. Used as entertainment for a lion shifter pretending to be a king, he’s forced to battle other shifters daily where only one can survive thanks to his pack alpha who sold him. The minute he realized female pack members were coming to his bed only to breed, he refused to have a cub born by women unworthy of being mates only to be taken away. Then a chance for escape comes from a strange female servant who secretly gives him food better than his normal gruel, he’s immediately suspicious but … she also leaves him cookies. Who bakes cookies for a monster? The more he watches her, the more his numb heart begins to feel again, which is dangerous. What if she’s trying to trick him like others who betrayed him?

When an important female leader goes missing, Alifair is tasked with finding the woman. Why? Because Alifair inherited the duty to protect her clan of gifted beings, but her magic is flawed. Even her best asset of clairvoyant dreams has occasional hiccups. That’s how she ended up captured in Slovakia to toil as a servant where the female leader is being held. With no sight of the leader in weeks, Alifair is at the point of panic until a new dream shows points to the person who can aid her in succeeding at her duty. Her dream godmother must have been on a drinking binge because Alifair will first have to free the most dangerous wolf shifter locked in the basement cages. Then time runs out when Bosse infuriates the crazy lion shifter who decrees Boose will die by the next morning, forcing her to gamble her life to make deal with the wolf shifter.

Alifair enters his cage prepared for the worst and discovers a man who touches her heart with one surprising action. Bosse’s cookie fairy offers him the freedom he never expected, but with an unacceptable condition.

Dive into the new romantic adventure spin off series from the League of Gallize Shifters that will yank on your heart strings with every unexpected twist and pin you to the edge of your seat until the explosive ending.
 

Review:

Fantastic start to a new spin off series in the Gallize world! Bosse has an engaging plot, interesting characters, action, adventure, and romance. Bosse is a story of survival and perseverance. 

Bosse and Alifair are two of the most unwavering and persistent people. Bosse refuses to give up and die in the arena. He’ll stay alive as long as he can. Alifair goes to extreme measures to find her missing clan leader. She puts herself in harm’s way repeatedly. Both have past experiences that cause them to have major trust issues, but when they come together their chemistry is tangible.

Their journey is one of non-stop action, danger, and adventure while trust is being formed between them. Alifair’s magical nature keeps things interesting as she’s never quite sure what will happen. Bosse’s wolf Titan is fierce and strongly connected to him. Together they all make a stalwart team to stand against the evil they face.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and their romantic connection. Dianna Love’s characters always show emotional growth as her stories progress endearing her characters to readers.

I highly recommend this fun story!

Blurb/Summary:

Who do you call when you spot a baby hellhorse? Shifter Vets!

Judy desperately needs to find a home for her nineteen rescue horses. Waylon desperately needs to rein in his headstrong teenage daughter's quest to tame a wild hellhorse. And what both of them need most desperately is love...

Waylon, a bear shifter and veterinarian for magical animals, instantly recognizes Judy as his mate. But a few things stand between them and true love, namely...

1. Waylon's secret.
2. Waylon's daughter Raelynn's secret.
3. Judy's "Save the Horses" Instagram campaign's lack of likes.
4. The young hellhorse that starts wildfires every time it gets excited.
5. A dangerous beast shielded by its living armor.
6. A fire-breathing chicken.

Coming together to make a new family isn't easy. But Vets For All Pets--and the magical animals its shifter vets care for-- has lots of practice at creating love against the odds.

Bear Vet is a sweet, feel-good shifter romance full of love, laughter, and adorable animals, perfect for reading before bedtime. If you'd love to have a pet miniature pegasus or a kitten with wings, one-click on Bear Vet now!

Review:

Bear Vet: Shifter Vets #2 was a cute story with a lot of heart. This story focused on family and relationships and how it all worked for them. I enjoyed the dynamics and found them entertaining.

The romance between Judy and Waylon progressed as you would expect with a fated shifter mate, but there was a slow burn due to an existing child in the mix. This was not an overly exotic or sexually explicit paranormal romance story.

The author has a wonderful imagination and let it ride with all the different magical creatures in this book. I found myself intrigued by this new world Zoe Chant created and will be seeking out further books by this author.  

I received an ARC for an honest review.

Reviewer:  Stacey Krug 

 Blurb/Summary:
An American Werewolf in Hoboken-- 

Wooing a life mate can be hard enough for a wolf, wooing one while under the threat of a curse even more so. 

Wooing a mate while pretending to be her dog? Nearly impossible. 

After being drugged and captured by Animal Control, Max Adams is on Hoboken's doggie death row when his life mate adopts him, takes him home, and promptly names him Fluffy. While JC, in all her new-pet-owner-ness, feeds "Fluffy" vile kibble, dresses him in mortifying dog couture, and schedules to have his manhood removed, Max's human side gets to know JC. Especially in the biblical sense. 

Hopefully well enough to make her fall madly in love, mate with him under the full moon, and move with him to Cedar Glen to live happily ever after forever and ever amen. And fast. 

Because the curse comes with a deadline...and the clock is ticking. 

What’s New, Pussycat?-- 

Martine Brooks is in a pickle. Derrick Adams is in a jam. 

Pickles and jam. Not exactly a hot combo. Unless the "pickle" is a sultry, sassy cat shifter and the "jam" is a gorgeous hunk of wolf. 

Derrick is cursed to die if he doesn't make the woot-woot with his life mate on the night of the next full moon. Martine's been held captive by a power-hungry warlock for six long months, forced to do his bidding before finding herself stuffed in a cat carrier and ditched at a 7-Eleven. 

After rescuing her from a Dumpster, Derrick and Martine strike a mutually beneficial deal: Mate, save a life, walk away—both alive and kicking. Win! Yet, there are kinks in the plan. Like the fact that Martine's one-time captor is on the hunt, planning to extinguish all of her nine lives at once. Or the fact the curse threatening Derrick's life is about to throw him a monster curve ball. 

But the biggest kink might prove to be Derrick and Martine themselves, two avowed commitment-phoebes...who are beginning to wonder what forever looks like. 

Gotta Have Faith— 

Five years ago, Brock Adams disappeared from Cedar Glen, New Jersey, never to be seen or heard from again, leaving behind his wife Faith, his daughters…and two sons under a family curse. 

Give up everything. That was the deal. Give up his werewolf pack, his family and his immortality, in exchange for finally, finally ridding his sons of the deadly curse. But when a disguised Brock sneaks back into Cedar Glen, he finds the curse still very much in effect. He also bumps into Faith, who he aches for just as much now as the day he left. 

Coming back was a horrible idea. Winston, his foul-tempered fairy friend, told him so. But did Brock listen? Noooo. He’s listening to his heart and his libido, and both are begging for one more moment in Faith’s arms. So what if she doesn’t even know it’s really him? And one of his sons hates him? And he’ll have to leave again? And he has a vindictive witch on his trail…? 

***Author Note: Dear readers, Please note, if you recognize these titles, these books, originally published in 2006, are a rerelease and have been updated, revised and expanded.

Review:

These books are awesome on their own, but it was so much more fun to read them in the box set one right after the other.  The three stories; An American Werewolf in Hoboken, What’s New, Pussycat?, and Gotta Have Faith are all interrelated and surrounding the Adams Family curse.  I promise not to give away too much, but basically the Adams men have to go on a journey to find their life mates.  The journey is always fraught with danger, the possibility of failure, and imminent death.  Never fear though, Dakota Cassidy’s characters laugh in the face of death and are forced to do all kinds of crazy things in the name of love.

The first story is about Max and JC.  Both strong and confident characters that will make you laugh.  In the second story we meet Derrick and Martine.  Both pig-headed and stubborn characters that have to learn to trust.  In the last story we get Faith and Brock’s tale.  Faith and Brock are Max and Derrick’s parents.  They are the epitome of loyalty. 

Each story has a great plot with twists and turns.  Some plot twists are more like mini tornados that will leave your jaw on the floor.  Every couple has their hot, hot, hot moments some a little more scorching than others. 

As a reader, I really liked how each story built upon the previous one while you learned more about all the characters and the Cedar Glen townsfolk.  There are some very colorful secondary characters that I would love to see get their own story someday.

These three stories did not disappoint.  Each had a thrilling part, sexy part, mystery/suspense part, and ended with a HEA part.  Now how they got to that HEA part I’m not going to expand upon because that is the meat of the stories and the journey you must take with these fun characters.  I highly recommend the Wolf Mates Box Set.
