Beneath These Shadows is a story of Bishop and Eden. And man their book was pure deliciousness on every level. I was so intrigued in seeing how this all played out and their development into their relationship was fascinating. I especially was drawn to Eden and her back story and seeing her explore herself and discover what she is capable of. Bishop is overprotective alpha male, who is very withdrawn from many people ….especially women though. But he is intrigued by the innocence of Eden and how she doesn’t play games and she is refreshing in many ways. But she is hiding a big secret….one that is a very interesting dynamic in many ways because of how it connects to Bishop and his past. Meghan March just doesn’t miss a beat and I have to say I am ADDICTED and I can’t seem to stop reading her books.
Beneath This Ink is the second book in the Beneath Series. I definitely have missed this series and eager to get back to it. In this book we see a story that features such a great couple but boy do they have some sexual tension. Meghan March just never ceases to disappoint even her older stories. I am always impressed with how engaging her writing is and she just always seems to pull me into a story. I didn't even need to read the blurb to know that I would get a fun kick out of this book. And I definitely had a blast with Beneath This Ink.
Con and Vanessa have known each other for each and they once had a one night stand and there has always been a level of sexual tension that vibrates between them. But Vanessa has a dream and her dream is keeping the business in the family. But she is a woman, and the investors aren't very optimistic in letting her run the show. She just needs support, the kind of support she could get from Con. But they come to an agreement, and their agreement soon turns into Con and Vanessa agreeing to a relationship together. But Vanessa is being blackmailed and she needs to find her way out of the situation while protecting Con. But not everything is as it seems and she and Con will need to come together to get to the truth of it all...
Beneath This Ink was a fantastic book and I really fell in love. The first book I remember these characters and the levels of sexual tension that were hinted at. So it was so fun to see these two finally come together and get the background to their story. I really enjoyed so many aspects to this book. But most especially in seeing these characters come together in all the beautiful ways I like to see. They definitely have secrets and their own hurdles to get through but seeing them learn to overcome their challenges was packed with shining moments. This turned into a story that is a magnifier of fighting for those you love and never giving up on that HEA.....a lovely romance that won my heart!
Beneath This Mask is a book that I saw a raving review of from Michele @ Harlequin Junkie and I just had to read this one. What I was really drawn into was the fact that this book could be read as a stand alone (which if you know Meghan March, she does love her cliff hangers) Michele never gives me a bad recommendation EVER. Every single book I read that she recommends I fall in love with and Beneath This Mask was no different. I was really hooked on this story and didn't want to put this one down here.
Beneath This Mask begins with our heroine, Charlotte. Her father gets sent to prison when he steals money from thousands of innocents and Charlotte wants to escape the limelight so she changes her name and moves to New Orleans and works in a tattoo parlour. Her life has become different, from growing up in a home in New York with lots of money, and now she is more content with her life even though she is in hiding. But then her life is thrown into chaos when she meets Simon who is highly connected but she is drawn to Simon because he isn't your normal politician. Simon wants Charlotte, he is drawn to her and even though he knows she is running from her past, he is falling hard for her but just needs to convince her to take a chance on the potential of what they could be together but her past is going to push their love to a test....
I adored this book so much here and I was really drawn into this trope and even though the heroine is keeping a secret, you understand why she keeps the truth from the hero here and I really admired her strength and the hero's determination to let her get away from him or run away from what she is feeling when they are together. There is such chemistry between these two but there is also a great intimacy that develops between these two and I was really drawn into this side of their relationship. I adored the hero, Simon, he was delectable and so in with Charlotte and so comitted to her. Definitely not a playboy and I LOVED his character so much.
The heroine, is wonderful too, and even though I wished that she had shared the truth with Simon earlier than when the truth is revealed, you understand her fears and reservations on why she doesn't reveal the truth to Simon because she wants to fix her own mess and the mess that her father created and I loved that we see how she saves herself and finds her own way back to Simon!!
Overall I found Beneath This Mask to be a fantastic novel by Meghan March. A story about secrets, fighting for the one you love and staying true to yourself....truly SUPERB in every way!!!
Cassa Hawkins has always been supportive of breeds and their rights, and being a journalist has always tried to put them in the positive light as much as possible. However the breed's have never made it easy for her, and for years she has resisted Cabal, who if he decided to claim her she would be his mate. Having to suffer with the hormone treatments to regulate the symptoms of the heat, the past several years haven't been easy on her especially when seeing him with countless women. So when Cabal decides to claim her as his mate now, Cassa resists because she doesn't want to be part of a 'harem' of women, only now not only is their danger to her heart there is also danger circling around her when their lives are threatened, and they must work together if they want to get to the bottom of what is really going on...Bengal's Heart is the 19th in the Breeds series. There are some books in this series that I have like more or less than others, but I truly enjoyed reading Bengal's Heart. There was a lot of steamy scenes that could singe your eyebrows if you're not careful, however there was also focus on the romantic relationship between Cabal and Cassa which I enjoyed even more. The interaction between these two could be intense but also make a reader laugh. I loved the humor in this story that the author portrayed, and I loved the plot, never a dull moment would sum it up pretty nicely. One of my other favorite aspects to the book was that there was a mystery to be solved, and I have always had a weakness for a good mystery, so there were multiple reasons that I enjoyed Bengals Heart. Overall an enjoyable read, with exciting scenes and deep connection between the characters and a few steamy scenes makes for a Amazing Romance that only Lora Leigh can produce.

Best Friends is the most recent release into the 'New Species' series. I have adored this series so much if you are a fan of Lora Leigh's "Breeds" series than I just know you will adore this one as well. It's different from the Leigh's in other ways through which I have really loved seeing the unique differences that set them apart. This story though contains two stories that are connected to each other and I was really happy to see both of them have such beautiful evolvement.
Our book begins with our two heroines Melinda and Mary who work together and have forged a strong friendship stronger than blood bound sisters even. But when a group of "New Species" come into their restaurant and are attacked, Melinda defends them and before she knows it she has a target on her back and she finds herself bonded with Snow and their love match burns quickly but strong. Melinda realizes that what she is building with Snow is worth every moment. Her best friend Mary is terrified of animals and tends to get attacked by a vast array of creatures. No animal likes her and so she is even more fearful of the New Species. While at her friend Melinda's wedding celebration, she gets lost, fears for her life in a misunderstanding, and ends up in the arms and sanctuary of Lash. Lash is a wild resident and wants Mary as his mate but it will take some work to convince her of his sincerity and devotion.
Both of these stories do pack quite a punch and they do go together but I would recommend reading them in order, it will make much more sense and you will see the beautiful friendship between the women. I will admit that I was so happy to see that Lash finally had a story. I have seen him on occasion in previous books especially involving Valiant. If you love Valiant's story, trust me Lash needs to be on your list for sure. Both of these stories were hot but also full of such sweet love that satisfied every romantic yearning I look for in my romance novels. Laurann Dohner did a tremendous job with this story and developing these stories together in the manner in how she delved. I had such a blast in immersing myself into Snow and Lash's book and I keep loving these New Species books even more and more. Looking forward to seeing what is coming up next here.
Overall I found Best Friends to be a whirlwind of two heartfelt stories that sear you with steamy passion and deep surprising emotion which vitalizes the reader in such a profound way.
There was so much to know and love about this book and Jasinda Wilder stepped things up a notch with this one. In the first book we see the strong connection these two have and there is more than enough smexiness. They definitely explore things in their relationship. At the start of Beta, they are traveling all over the world and having a blast. But our heroine, Kyrie wakes up one morning and discovers Valentine is gone with a note with blood on it "He Belongs To Me" and she is on the run for her life. With the help of Valentine's friend she manages to escape and they start to track down the location of Valentine. And they discover who is behind it, a crazy and insane woman who will do anything to have Valentine. A woman scorned, Gina (who is literally a woman that needed to be put down years ago). No seriously she is crazy. She pretty much rapes and tortures Valentine and some methods I wasn't a fan of even waterboarding which was pretty intense and not my thing to read in a book. Now Valentine goes through a rough time here. But its not over after he has been rescued. The plot really kicks in and man it never ends and boy was it dang good!! I liked the first book, it was more smooth and slow build up. But now we get into the action and mystery and suspense that this author brings to the story. And I adored the character growth. We don't see all that much from our hero to be honest. We do see how he deals with the trauma and its a tough road for him.
We both needed to know, regardless of the hell we’d endured, regardless of what was still coming, that Kyrie was mine, and I was hers, and we would have each other and be okay.
Our heroine though, she kicks ass!!! Like seriously she really steps up here and does what needs to be done to save her man. And I liked that we have multiple POV. Both from Valentine and Kyrie, but then at the end here we are given a bit of a cliffhanger with the villain of book three. You see, its Gina's father, and its more a matter of family honor more than anything, you see how he doesn't want to go after our couple, but will have to. Yeah I have a feeling book three will be pretty intense and I can't wait to see what happens!!! Beta is an edgy, intense filled romance that packs a punch and leaves you breathless!!!
