I cannot begin to tell you how brilliant this book is. Nicky James has written an absolute masterpiece of a story with a gripping mystery that kept me turning the pages. Aslan, Quaid and Torin are faced with multiple suspects including teenagers - and don’t some of them have an attitude. The intriguing plot is intricately weaved and kept me guessing. I’d narrowed it down to two characters and even though I’d eventually, and very late in the piece, guessed correctly, I was still gobsmacked with the outcome even though the prologue was the perfect set up for the ending.

Amongst all the stresses of an ongoing investigation, Aslan and Quaid’s romance takes another major step forward after reassurances are made, feelings validated and an overall sense of security taking hold. Of course they still disagree on food choices, the supply closet gets another clandestine visit and there’s plenty of banter between them to lighten things up.

I love the way the relationship between these two wonderful men is developing and I’m looking forward to where the next book takes them.

Great origin story of Aleric and Konrad.

This is an expanded version of the original free story. There’s an extra 8 chapters that add a lot more depth to Aleric and Konrad’s story. The first few chapters give further detail on Konrad before and after his captivity. They also give little bit more information on Aleric’s life prior to the move overseas.
I enjoyed the original version but this just gives their story more oomph!

Aleric crosses the ocean to find his fated mate Konrad. Circumstances require them to wait a bit before being able to claim each other but when they do it’s gets steamy. After flying back across the ocean they get even more steamy resulting in a pregnancy. Konrad is then introduced to Aleric’s parents and finds himself another family to part of.

I really enjoyed this revamped version of Konrad and Aleric’s origin story, it’s a great set up for the Destined Paranormals series, is easy to read and there’s dragons!

What a journey Mik and Tyler have to negotiate before they get their HEA which is 25 years in the making. From being best friends to boyfriends in their teens to thinking they’ll never see each other again. The reason why Tyler couldn’t see Mika again made me heart sore and spitting mad!
Fortunately circumstances have them reconnecting in the small town of Stillwater. After a couple of false starts that involve heated kisses, they get their act together with more heated kisses leading to plenty of steamy times.
This book gave me plenty of feels along the way but had me so happy for these wonderful men at the end. It’s a very enjoyable and engaging read with mature aged main characters and a great cast of side characters to keep things interesting and a very adorkable dog with a sock fetish!

3.5 stars.
Easy read with low angst fated mates Insta lust and tentacles.
Overall story arc of kidnapped shifters to be continued.

Absolutely brilliant!

It’s so wonderful to be back in the world of villains and superheroes and discovering, once again, what trouble Landon and August find themselves in. Naturally characters from the first book are there and there’s some wonderful new side characters introduced. Landon and August are still madly in love with each other and Landon still madly loves his books. He also still as little interest in saving the world or anyone else unless it’s August in trouble. So when a foe from the past returns Landon, August and friends come together to right a wrong from the past and have a final battle with the foe.

I laughed so much throughout the book and used the highlight function too many times to mention.
There’s a unique interpretation of sign language, Landon’s family up to their usual antics, use of the words moist and Moistman and an unforgettable man named Deus.

The intriguing plot captured me for start to end and this became a one sitting read. With a perfect balance of wonderful characters, action, romance and intrigue this is a fantastic instalment in the Vexing Villains series. I would also advise reading the first book in the series prior to reading this.

Steffen stole my heart ❤️

This masterpiece in the Here Be Dragons series had me smiling and giggling, my heart breaking and then gave me all the warm and fuzzy heart feels at the end. There are unexpected twists and turns that I could never have predicted along with the cutest dragon hoard ever.

It’s hard not to gush about Wil and Steffen’s romance without giving spoilers away. It’s just so pure, loving and intimately tender with Wil’s total acceptance of Steffen’s quirks. His paranoia can drive people crazy but it’s truly because he wants everyone to be safe, Wil sees that and understands Steffen like no other.

“You’re the only reason I want to continue existing.” - Steffan
“Never thank me for loving you like you deserve.” - Wil

I loved every moment of this book and couldn’t put it down. The found family - from Brandt and Percy, Sam and Gideon to Dustin, Alistair and more are all included in navigating their way successfully through this latest threat to the community.

This is book 4 in the Here Be Dragons series and cannot be read as a standalone.

A fantastic read!

If you’re looking for an engaging demon story with strong but flawed main characters, an intriguing plot with a couple of twists and lots of action balanced with romance, look no further.
Dante and Jude have both had very difficult lives and when circumstances bring them together things don’t look like changing for the better anytime soon. On the plus side they do manage to fit in plenty of steamy time even with the never ending number of demons hunting them.
Aiding these two wonderful characters in their mission to banish demons back to where they belong is Rory, the Scottish priest with a hard exterior and a soft spot for Dante and Jude.
Neither Dante and Jude have much experience with relationships as such, so they both learn as they go which means the odd miscommunication but nothing to derail their HEA and a future neither thought was possible.

Marcus, Finn and the gang are back with more mayhem as foes from the past crash into the present.
There’s plenty of action and lots of hilarity as the intriguing mystery unfolds. A mystery which has Finn and Marcus second guessing who is a friend and who is a foe.
Of course Finn is once again in the thick of things which has Marcus threatening/terrifying everyone to protect his love. Although Finn once again shows not only his inner strength but also his “ability to con even a crazed murderer into trusting him.”
I laughed so much reading this book. From Christmas Eve sleepover traditions to Claude with his unique fashion choices and Finn, talking sexy dressed as Santa just to name a few!
As per usual for this author, the interesting plot is the main focus with just a couple of well placed steamy scenes where Finn and Marcus reconnect and show their love for each other.

Beautifully unusual. 4.5 stars.

This is a captivating gothic tale of illegal romance combined with an intriguing mystery which also includes unexpected twists and turns along the way. Everett and Archie have the slowest of slow burns with just the occasional steamy moment although Everett does enjoy pleasurable times with others prior to meeting Archie.
It was very easy to get caught up in the drama of London in 1885 and all the prevailing attitudes of the time with the cast of main and secondary characters keeping things very interesting.
There’s no HEA or HFN but there’s plenty of the overarching story to be resolved in the next instalment.
