Made the Grade: Her Stepbrothers Are Dragons by Trinity Blacio

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Kindle Edition - File Size: 321 KB | Expected Release Date: December 23, 2015 | Publisher: Riverdale Avenue Books | Obtained: NetGalley

"Her Stepbrothers Are Dragons" [Stepbrothers Series, Book 1] by Trinity Blacio (aka Maria MoonStar)

Author's Book Description : Holly Brewner knew she had a problem with Christmas Eve, but she thought her way of celebrating was better anyway. Twelve days of gifts and on Christmas Day, the big one. Her father and she had celebrated every year like this, but this year was going to be different.

This year she had a new stepmom and two stepbrothers, who happened to be dragons, and that changed all her plans.

Upon their arrival, her house burned down, she was shot at, and now she was staying in a cave for two days as if that were normal. On top of that, her two stepbrothers, Darius and Malcolm Longfellow, were claiming they were her mates and that they were going to marry her on Christmas Eve.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, Christmas is Holly’s favorite time of year but she just learned her family has gotten a little bit fuller after she reads her father’s letter informing her of his sudden marriage and her new stepbrothers. However, she’s not going to let that throw her off, even after she learns that her latest advertising clients are her stepbrothers and they are in town to find out more about her. Therefore, she finds a way to retaliate Christmas-style. Only it all seems to backfire on her once she realizes they are dragon-shifters and she is actually their mate. Will she be able to handle all the upcoming life changes coming her way or will it all be too much?

I have read most of Ms. Blacio’s Stepbrothers Series and I have to say this one surprised me with its setup. Loaded with the Christmas-y spirit (surprising after Holly’s past comes out) and a new play on the “12 Days of Christmas” revenge style, I found this novel very entertaining and enjoyed learning about Holly, Darius, and Malcolm. Nevertheless, I found their relationship a bit forced and the beginning on the slower paced side, which made it hard for me to get into it, as I would have liked. Even so, it was Holly’s feistiness and how her men win her over that hooked me into this novel.

I recommend it to those looking for a paranormal romance that has a little erotic fun included that will get you into the holiday spirit too!

Book Teaser(s) :
"'On the fifth day of Christmas, there is supposed to be five golden rings, but I'll be damned if I buy you two five rings, but...'" Malcolm turned over the paper and there was nothing on the other side.
Darius stared at the box on the bed. "I hate to say it, but I'm afraid to touch the thing. What the hell is that smell?" he growled and slowly started to open the box, this time wishing he hadn't. "She send us shit!"
"Looks like five little balls." Malcolm groaned. "I'm with you, we should beat her butt." They stared at the sixth box as if it had grown a head. ~ within Chapter 1

Disappointmentville: Her Stepbrothers Are Angels by Trinity Blacio

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Kindle Edition - File Size: 249 KB | Expected Release Date: February 13, 2016 | Publisher: Riverdale Avenue Books | Obtained: NetGalley

"Her Stepbrothers Are Angels" [Stepbrothers Series, Book 6] by Trinity Blacio (aka Maria MoonStar)

Author's Book Description : Dixie Squire is half demon on her mother’s side and has an embarrassing gift that she can’t reveal to her father. Who wants to tell their daddy that she needs to have sex every week in order to survive? Talk about a complex.

But that isn’t’ the worst part. It seems her father has just taken an angel for a mate—not just any angel, but one that used to hunt down and destroy demons, right alongside with her two very hot new stepbrothers.

Eae and Leo only wanted their mother to be happy, but they never dreamed they’d be tracking down their wayward stepsister. But when they stepped into Dixie’s old apartment, Eae and Leo realized they were not only tracking their stepsister, but their woman, and that they weren’t the only ones after her.

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. Dixie is a half-human sex demon who is on the run with her best friend because her father recently married an angel. As angels are typically her enemies, so she is running scared. What she doesn't know is that her new "relatives" don't want to hurt her at all and it'll take her stepbrother mates to prove it to her...

This novel was not as good as I'd hoped. Nevertheless, this fast-paced erotic paranormal romance was quite entertaining in its own way. That is why I still recommend it to those who are fans of Ms. Blacio and/or looking for a quick paranormal Valentine's Day read!

Dixie touched the woman's hand. "Thank you for giving my father hope again. I thought he'd never find someone to love again. If you make him happy, then I'll be happy. By the way, the woman behind your sons is Lilly. She was raised in our home, and she's like a sister to me. You may have noticed she's kind of protective of me." Dixie glanced behind her, and sure enough, there was Lilly holding a shoe.
"But we are going to have to teach her how to use knives," Dixie mumbled. "Lilly, go put the damn shoe back in the locker. I'm fine." ~ within Chapter 3

Feasted On: Her Stepbrothers Are Demons by Trinity Blacio

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Kindle Edition - File Size: 301 KB | Expected Release Date: September 24, 2015 | Publisher: Riverdale Avenue Books | Obtained: NetGalley

"Her Stepbrothers Are Demons" by Trinity Blacio (aka Maria MoonStar)

Author's Book Description : Alex Cander had her life all planned out – mom married off, check. Police academy graduation (all done in secret) – double check. Assigned to one of the biggest cases in her county – triple check.

Yet Alex knew this smooth ride couldn’t last long.

Sure enough all hell breaks loose, literally, when her stepfather asks her to help his sons get acquainted to their surroundings. Not only were her supposed stepbrothers claiming her as theirs, but it turns out they are demons. On top of this, she learns that her own grandparents weren’t even human?

And that’s no even the half of it!

A being called Darkness has stepped forward claiming her as well. Now she is mated to three demons that not only control her every movement, but also her heart…someone pinch her please.

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! Alexandra (Alex) is used to being the one to look out for her family and friends. But suddenly after her mother remarries, Alex finds her new stepbrothers taking over her life and her hard-earned independence. When their secret comes out and she also learns that another plans to claim her too, will she be able to take it all in stride or will everything finally fall apart?

I LOVED how this "Her Stepbrothers Are..." from Ms. Blacio had such a cohesive beginning, middle, and ending!! It was all endearing, suspenseful, and seductive that I didn't want it to end, while also appreciating how it all was wrapped up! This is definitely my favorite novel from this world thus far!

When it came to Alex and her men, I liked how their stories all intertwine and how their relationship built on itself even though it was rushed. Alex is a strong-willed woman with a soft heart, which makes her the perfect counterpart to Zain (Darkness), Darren, & Tork's restless "demonic" ways. All of the men were great in their own ways. I love reading about charming possessive men, and these three had that in spades! I just wish I could have read from Tork's POV like we could from the other three main characters. *shrug*

I DO recommend this novel to those looking for a fast-paced erotic paranormal (slightly sci-fi) romance!

Book Teaser(s) :
If she was to tell the truth, Alex loved their touches. The way their fingers brushed down her arms, or when they took her hand and just held it.
She shook her head. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
Darren grinned, "I asked if you knew what we did, like our jobs?"
"No, and wipe off that grin. I can't help it if the two of you have my body doing the hormonal jig," she grumbled and squirmed as they both stared down at her. ~ within Chapter 2
