"Jessie's Harem" by Mandy Rosko

Author's Book Description : Ghouls just wanna have fun...

Jessie needs an army. One made up of the strongest alphas she can find if she is to kill a powerful sorcerer. The former master who created her.

She needs warriors, both wolf and dragon alike for this tricky mission. Easier said than done because dragons and wolves don't get along! Luckily, Jessie's a ghoul with succubus powers and she doesn't have to look far to find a few scrumptious men who are the perfect candidates...

She just didn't expect to have so much fun making the growly warriors do her bidding, though they don't seem to mind when play time rolls around.

As things heat up in the bedroom, complications arise. The long history of fighting between dragons and werewolves is more challenging than Jessie expected. To ensure her freedom, and their cooperation, she might have to, horror of horrors, release them from her spell.

Trusting four angry warriors to stay on their own free will is a new experience for Jessie. Because, whether she wins her freedom or not, Jessie is used to a solitary, loveless life, and not convinced she's worthy of four knights in shining armor.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! This is a reread for me because this novel I had read in November of 2019 and before I had posted my official review/rating, I had lost it (find out the whole story on my blog). Therefore, this novel was chosen as a reread because I did remember enjoying it before, didn’t remember all of the plotline – which made it, so I got to enjoy it more, and I was in the mood for a paranormal polyamorous romance to read.

What I found was this novel held up all my expectations, except for the end. Though I cannot say I loved this novel the whole way through, I did thoroughly

"Scandalous" [Playing with Fire Series, Book 3] by Karen Erickson

My Book Summary : Ever since she was a teenager, Alexa (Lex or Lexi), has had a crush on Eric (her older brother's boyfriend). Now years later at her brother's wedding she greets Eric again planning on catching up. However, what she didn't expect was to find her attraction to him to still be strong or to find that even though he has another boyfriend now, he is finding her more attractive by the second. When they end up kissing each other, a little later at the reception, the sparks ignite between them, but once they separate Eric says they've made a mistake and walks away from her.

A few days later Alexa finds a voicemail message from Eric on her cell asking if she would like to meet up for drinks with his boyfriend (Brandon) and himself. She accepts and meets them at a restaurant, only to find that they have ulterior motives. Which are that Brandon was intrigued about Eric's kiss with her and was wondering if she would like to have some fun with them for a night?

If she says yes she might find the thing that will ease the restlessness she's been feeling lately ... they all might fall in love ... or they could ruin a good relationship between the guys and a growing friendship between each other .... would it all be worth it? Maybe so ...

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. My favorite character was Eric ... he sounded like a great guy. The plot was good but didn't end up the way I wanted it to which is the reason for the low rating. I think if it ended the way I wanted then I would have given it a 4 out of 5 stars. *shrug* But if you don't mind reading a bit of m/m or m/f/m action then I think you'll be interested in this book.

Book Teaser(s) :

The number was unfamiliar, and she frowned, punching a button so she could read the text message.
I want to see you
Frowning, she immediately texted back.
Who is this?
Her answer came back quick.
Correction. We both want to see you. Tonight.
Her skin sizzled, and she glanced about the room, thankful no one was lurking about.
Eric is that you? ~ within Chapter 6

Made the Grade: Forces of Nature Series, Book 2

"Whirlpool" [Forces of Nature Series, Book 2] by Vivian Arend

My Book Summary : Chelsea has wanted to be with Braden for as long as she can remember, but other than the occasional flirt, he has kept her at arms length, more so now than ever before. However, over the past year he has been keeping the other guys from Jaffrey’s Cove (and their pod) away from her too, since he doesn't want anyone else to have her either, even though the people in their community (the merfolk) are known to share their females with one other man besides themselves. Yet every time Braden thinks of sharing Chelsea with any other guy, jealousy sweeps through him.

Chelsea has a plan though ... when Jamie comes into their life to help sort/catalog the items in Alexis' (the pod's ruler) house she plans to have some fun with him to make Braden get jealous enough to want to have more with her. However, soon a friendship blooms between Jamie and Chelsea, and now she's thinking about starting something up with him. Yet she's scared about losing out on Braden too.

But when they find that everyone has an instant connection to each other ... the heat turns up another notch!

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, in truth if I didn't enjoy the sex scenes then I probably would have given this a 2 out of 5 stars. The plot was kinda dumb, but I did enjoy finding out more about the merfolk from Jaffrey’s Cove and their society. The characters were okay, but I enjoyed reading from Jamie's view point the best, mostly because I like that he was finding out all about their world.

For the most part the only way you won't enjoy reading the book on some level is if you don't like reading about gay love/lovemaking. Since yes they have a threesome (more than once), but since the guys aren't related (like they were in the first novel) they get into some kissing and more with each other. Therefore, if you aren't okay with reading that type of thing then I don't recommend this book for you.

I hope that once this series grows up a bit more the author will decide on writing a book about Thomas. Since he made an appearance in the first book and this one, so I can't wait to read his story. =0)

My Previous Review(s) for this Series : Book 1

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Wolf Games

Book Teaser(s) :

"Who the hell made you my moral adviser? Is it your job to go around seeing that all the merfolk are screwing only approved partners? I've heard about every one of your exploits, and you have the balls to say sex with me would be wrong? Don't be suck a fucking hypocrite. Face it, Braden either you want me or you don't."
She held out her arms and pivoted on the spot, letting her arms rise about her head until she was back facing him, breast thrust forward, legs parted. He stared at her, still expressionless and she gave up. Her heart was breaking inside as she lowered her arms. ~ within Chapter 4

Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end

"Will Grayson, Will Grayson" by John Green & David Levithan is about friendship, love, and teenage life/problems. It's main characters are both named Will Grayson from different parts of Illinois. One is straight and one is gay ... but they are both cynics, very big ones at that. Then one night they both find themselves at a porn shop called Frenchy's and their lives take a new path ....

I loved the book because it didn't try to be anything it wasn't. It spoke the truth of the situation the characters created, and I find that awesome!! The story is so unlike anything I've read in a while that it was a really good change of pace. I definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to laugh a bit and read a musical coming to life (kinda). =0) 3 out of 5 stars!!

Here's an excerpt:
i do not say 'good-bye.' i believe that's one of the bullshittiest words ever invented. it's not like you're given the choice to say 'bad-bye' or 'awful-bye' or 'couldn't-care-less-about-you-bye.' every time you leave, it's supposed to be a good one. well, i don't believe that. i believe against that.

It comes out April 2010!! Don't forget to pick it up then ... or PRE-ORDER it!!
