Blurb/Summary:

 Mattie is exasperated by her surly Protector who won’t say two words to her. Grath keeps his guard up around the curvy little female because he wants her but knows he can’t have her. Add a trip to Mattie’s hometown for the holidays where they have to fake-date to fool her family and you’ve got a volatile mixture. Will they survive when Mattie agrees to try…Faking it with the Hybrid?

Dr. Mattie Porter has landed her dream job as a Xeno-Cultural Anthropologist with the Kindred, but she has one very big problem—a seven-foot-tall, grumpy, growly warrior named Grath. The huge Hybrid has been assigned to her as her Protector—a kind of bodyguard to keep her safe on alien planets. But he’s a surly bastard who won’t even talk to Mattie if he can help it!

Grath is a Triple-Hybrid, a male with Beast, Blood, and Flame Kindred strains in his DNA. This makes him a formidable warrior, but also ensures he won’t be able to bond with a female, which leaves him with a problem—he’s desperately attracted to the tiny, curvy Earth female he’s been assigned to Protect. But he knows he has to keep her at arm’s length to avoid pain and heartache.

It seems Grath and Mattie will never get along…but then Mattie needs a date for the Holidays. So now they’re going to her hometown to try and fool her family into thinking they’re engaged. But fake-dating during the Holidays isn’t without its pitfalls and neither of them knows that even in the quiet little town of Christmasville, danger is stalking Mattie.

Can Grath keep Mattie safe? Will they win the Christmas Cookie Bake-off? And will both of them lose their hearts when they finally let their guards down? To find out you’ll have to read this Grump and Sunshine, Enemies to Lovers, Fake Dating, hot Alien Warrior romance…Faking it with the Hybrid!

Review:

Dr. Madeline (Mattie) Porter is a Xeno-Cultural Anthropologist and very much wants to travel to a Class 3 planet that only allows mated pairs to visit. Mattie and her protector, Grath, take off on a much closer mission to Earth to see if they can convince Mattie’s family that they are a couple.

I thoroughly enjoyed how Grath interacted and tried to integrate into Mattie’s family and human Christmas festivities. Christmas can be a stressful time for anyone, but Mattie must try and pull off a fake relationship while also dealing with high school trauma. Grath and Mattie have a considerable amount of emotional baggage to unpack and sort through. Both their personal development processes were fraught with trauma, self-doubt, and self-loathing. Read Faking it with the Hybrid to find out how Mattie and Grath help each other and reach relationship status.

This is a fun story that had me running through all the emotions and laughing aloud. Faking it with the Hybrid has great characters, a fast-moving plot, and a happily-for-now ending. I hope we see Mattie and Grath in future books.

I received this ARC for an honest review.

Blurb/Summary:

If you want to know who unalived you, I'm your girl. Evanora Lavinia Dark at your service!

Heart attack/stroke/open-heart surgery survivor, new-lease-on-life starter, astral-projecting-ghost-talker.

And most importantly, a witch over fifty with bursitis, blood pressure meds, and zero effs to give.

I’m done with corporate life—or maybe it was done with me first— and after a life-changing stroke followed by a heart attack and a subsequent quadruple bypass. All this just before boarding a plane for my lifetime dream trip to Hawaii.

Clearly, it was time for a change.

So I moved back to my hometown and my passion. Interior design. I have no experience, no degrees in the field, but I jumped in with both feet and opened my own house staging business--Stage Right. Nowadays, you can find me happily decorating houses for my best friend, house flipper, and real estate agent, Fabiola Fabrizio.

Together, we’re determined to give our town, Buttermilk Bay, located in Massachusetts (not far from Salem) a facelift and bring in young families to stir up the economy. Little by little, people are beginning to take notice of my work and hiring me on the daily and that’s great for my bank account.

There’s only one problem. Ghosts. Sooo many ghosts. Ghosts I started to see after my bypass surgery (cliche, right?). Ghosts who were murdered and need my help to solve the mystery surrounding their deaths. Do you have any idea how hard it is to carry a fifty pound chandelier while a ghost is in your ear, hassling you to find their killer?

When a guy named Ferris Leopold is found dead at the house next door to the one I’m staging, it’s full steam ahead to solve his murder. Or is it? Ferris was a lowdown dirty, albeit petty thief in life and I’m struggling to set aside my morals in order to help him.

But as I dig deeper into Ferris’s past, meet a hot AF silver fox of a man, and explore my new powers in the process, I discover not everything is as it seems...

Review:

Stage Fright is a wonderfully engaging story from beginning to end. The characters are endearing and vibrant. Evanora Dark and Fabiola Fabrizio draw readers into their drama filled lives. Although this is book one in the Bewitching Midlife Crisis Mysteries series, I felt like I was meeting old friends.

Evanora is a witch that can see and talk with ghosts. With this power she has taken on the responsibility of helping the ghosts resolve issues so they can move on. Stage Fright involves a murder wrapped in a mystery with plenty of action.

This story had a great plot, interesting cast of characters, good backstories, wonderful family support, and the mystery is solved without a cliff-hanger. Dakota Cassidy does offer a little something at the end to keep readers coming back for more.

Stage Fright is a fantastic way to start a new series. Highly recommend.

Blurb/Summary:

Hallene Clarke spends her time finding missing children for other people but now she faces the most dangerous hunt of her life – to rescue her sixteen-year-old half-sister. The girl has been kidnapped, but the ransom isn’t money. She’s being used as a pawn to ensure a deadly attack happens.

Samuel “Party Man” Leclair never found his place in life until being brought into the HAMR Brotherhood and put on the FALCA team. Now his future is in jeopardy after risking his life to help an unknown female operative, Hallene, during the op that failed to extract a kidnapped senator.

Hallene offers him a chance at redemption and will lead Sam to the kidnapper holding the senator if he’ll help her rescue her half-sister and keep his team out of this. This enemies-to-lovers romantic adventure is fraught with assassins, unexpected twists, wild action, and sizzling romance as Sam and Hallene discover the attack planned to strike the US is to force two superpowers into war.

This is a spinoff from the Slye Team Black Ops Romantic Action Adventure series where HAMR Brotherhood was introduced in Kiss The Enemy.

Review:

Incredible start to the new HAMR Brotherhood series! Wrecked is non-stop action from beginning to end. You won’t want to put the book down so clear your schedule. The plot twists will have you glued to the pages.

Hallene and Sam are dynamic and interesting characters. They have mutual respect for one another that sparks fantastic chemistry. It was entertaining to follow their journey as they discovered more about themselves and each other as they developed into a couple.

Dianna Love does not disappoint with this first book. The HAMR Brotherhood is promising to be another wonderful series.

Wrecked is Romantic Action Adventure done right. I highly recommend this book.

Blurb/Summary:

I never wanted to sell my blood for money. But that’s what I end up doing after an alien merchant abducts me and dumps me on O’nagga Nine. When I run into Baron Vik’tor and he takes a liking to me, it seems like my luck has turned. But the Baron is a powerful man and there are people in his life that want me dead. Will I survive being The Baron’s Bride?

Natalie Hale hates her life. You would too if an alien merchant abducted you and then dumped you on a distant planet where it’s so cold even the buildings and infrastructure are made of ice. To survive, Natalie has to sell her blood, which is the only commodity she has. Because the inhabitants of O’nagga Nine, where she’s living, need blood to survive, she manages to make a meager living. But she’s barely scraping by until she literally runs into the Baron.

Baron Vik’tor is the richest, most influential man on the planet. He’s also a half-breed—a Naggian/Braxian mix which means he has curling horns, blue tattoos, and a wicked temper whenever he thinks the woman he cares for is threatened. And it just so happens, he cares for Natalie.

But Natalie’s personal Pretty Woman scenario can’t last long. The Baron is a powerful man and there are people in his life that don’t like her having influence on him. Some will even stop at nothing to kill her. Can Natalie survive being The Baron’s Bride? You’ll have to read to find out.

Author's Note--This is book 6 in the Alien Mate Index series but it can be read as a stand alone book, though you might enjoy it more if you read books 1-5 first.

Review:

Readers first met Natalie in The Overlord’s Pet, and now we get to find out what happened to her after she is dumped on O’nagga Nine. This story is a great addition to the series.

Vik’tor is the richest businessman on O’nagga Nine and he takes an instant liking to Natalie. Natalie is wary but grateful to not be freezing and starving. Their attraction and chemistry together are like a runaway train, and their journey is fraught with dangerous obstacles. Natalie and Vik’tor’s relationship grew stronger with each obstacle they circumvented.

The Baron’s Bride brings in some past characters from other Alien Mate Index books. This story sews up most of the loose ends, character’s futures and of course Evangeline Anderson leaves us with a happily-for-now ending. Evangeline Anderson left a way to come back and play in this series.
