"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

"Mated To The Werewolf King" [The Kings Series, Book 1] by Alena Des

Author's Book Description : As war looms between the two species, the Demon Lord is determined to find Annabelle – little does she know, the truth behind his sinister actions is about to unravel.

When Annabelle discovers that she is not the true daughter of the Alpha in her pack, her world, as she knows it, comes crashing down and she finds herself running to hide from the tyrannical Demon Lord who is hell-bent on finding her.

Despite her objections, she is taken to the court of the Werewolf King. He’s arrogant, stubborn and discerning of her very being, but willing to defend her... for now.

Will the Werewolf King yield to the Demon Lord’s ultimatum and give her to the enemy or will she be the cause of a looming war between the two species?

More importantly, what does the Demon Lord want with Belle? She’s only a werewolf... isn’t she?

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars!! Close to Belle’s (Annabelle) eighteenth birthday, her life forever changes when she learns that everything she knew about herself is a lie. Raised within a werewolf pack, she is taken to the Werewolf King’s castle in hopes to protect her from an unknown source. However, that is just the beginning of the “crazy” that is about to enter her life. Will she be able to “roll with the punches” and make the best of the situations that are thrown her way or will she be “gobbled up and spit out” instead?

"Temptation Ridge" [Virgin River Series, Book 6] by Robyn Carr

My Book Summary : After putting her life on hold for the last five years, at 25-years-old Shelby's life finally changes once her mother passes away. She sells their house, moves in with her Uncle Walt and cousins for the fall and winter, and plans to travel and get back into college within the next year. However, while she's making plans for college and traveling doesn't mean she can't have any fun while she's visiting/staying with family in Virgin River ....

Luke just recently retired from the Army. He plans to move into and rebuild the rundown house and cabins, in Virgin River, that he and his younger brother purchased a while back, and plans to overhaul them and sell them to earn some profit. However, he soon realizes that Virgin River isn't the usual type of town. It's a place where they take care of their own, and make any newcomers feel like family.

Once Shelby and Luke meet, their attraction to each other is undeniable! Nevertheless, the 13-year age difference and personal life plans make it so Luke tries to stay away from Shelby as much as possible. However, as they get to know each other more over the weeks/months in Virgin River will they be able to stay apart from each other for long??

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. This is the first book that I've read from this series, and even though it's within a series, I feel that each book can be read as a standalone novel. However, with that being said this novel/series, I've come to realize, is written in a way that each novel may have main characters but still has a bunch of sub-plots throughout the whole book. This makes it so some of the sub-plots that come up in one of the novels might not end until the next novel or a few novels after that. It's definitely a unique concept that made me even more interested in this series.

Nevertheless, I find that even though I thoroughly enjoyed reading about each of the main characters, the different plots, and the town. I didn't like this novel that well because of how the main characters (Luke and Shelby) story was dragged out. The first half I can understand, but by the time Thanksgiving came around and Luke is now having issues with his past come back to haunt him, it just got to be a little too much for me. Also, there were times when I got so caught up with what was going on between Luke and Shelby that I did get annoyed with having a new sub-plot come up because than I had to wait a couple of pages or chapters to get back to information about them.

Overall, though, I think this is a great series with lively characters and a wonderful town that I wish was real so I could visit! I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys reading Susan Mallery's Fools Gold Series!!

Made the Grade: The Game of Love by Jeanette Murray

- This is an ARC book - Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 468 KB | Release Date: August 29, 2011 | Publisher: Carina Press

"The Game of Love" by Jeanette Murray

My Book Summary : Christina (Chris) has just started a new job as a high school math teacher and the girl's tennis coach, making plans to start a new life. And with her past behind her she can finally move on .... right?

When Chris meets Brett, the high school football coach, for the first time she already knows she wants nothing to do with him. Especially since after her first few times talking with him he seems arrogant and selfish, not to mention that he used to be a pro athlete--which is already a major red mark against him. However, for Brett, after getting to know Chris a bit, he'll do his best to prove to her that he's the guy for her.

Now, after a while of spending time together, and complying to their attraction for each other, Brett will have to prove to Chris that what they have is more then just an affair. But will Chris agree or be ready to take that next step??

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, it was a cute/sweet novel but I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. I mean the main characters were good and the plot was okay, but around 2/3s of the way in it was just WAY to dragged out. I got really annoyed with Chris. I mean I could understand her motives but I just felt like shaking her at some points. I did love the secondary characters, the last chapter and epilogue though, those redeemed the book for me.

I recommend it for those who want a light read that's a romance too.

Following their line of vision, he found the distraction. The damn tennis team, running the perimeter of the football field in some half-assed formation, following their fearless leader. They weren’t looking at the field, weren’t yelling or causing a scene. Just concentrating on keeping up with Chris. ~ within Chapter 7

Made the Grade: Learning Curves by Elyse Mady

- This is an ARC book - Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 383 KB | Release Date: June 2011 | Publisher: Carina Press

"Learning Curves" by Elyse Mady

My Book Summary : Leanne has had to deal with her mother pushing her to be more like her (a beauty queen type) all of her life but it seems she was good enough. Or at least never as good as her mother's goddaughter, Gillian, who can seem to do no wrong in Leanne's mother's eyes. Because of all that, Leanne went in the complete different route, then what her mom wanted, by being the studious type of girl.

Now years later Leanne is just about finished getting her PhD in English, and because of her mother she gets dragged to Gillian’s bachelorette party. While at the party, located at a strip club, Leanne is enamored with one of the male strippers and Gillian soon decides that she wants to proposition that same stripper. So, out of regard for Gillian's fiancé Leanne decides to make sure that nothing will happen between Gillian and the stripper. But once she gets into the greenroom in the back things completely change for her when she meets Brandon, the stripper she liked, and they have scorching encounter, afterwards though they go their separate ways.

That is until they both find out that they go to the same college for their PhD's, so it's harder then they thought to not be involved. Especially when Brandon starts acting like a friend and whenever they get close to each other their attraction seems to get harder and harder to deny. However, just when things start going good for each of them, the bottom seems to fall out when a certain nemesis makes plans to ruin both of them and their relationship.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! This novel was sweet and sexy!! The sex scenes were very HOT and I could not get enough of Brandon!!!! Brandon pretty much made this novel for me! Since Leanne is nice, but the way she acted within the first half of the book made it hard for me to relate to her, but in the end the plot was great and everything fell into place.

Book Teaser(s) :

Teaser #1

Brandon was going to explode.
Here, in his pants, next to his ten-speed, in his narrow hallway. Next to his ten-speed and just down from his closet.
And it was all Leanne Galloway’s fault.
She was driving him out of his ever-loving mind. ~ within Chapter 9

Author's Book Description : Sexy bull rider Caleb Cooper keeps falling off his bull and hitting his head. Smart neuroscience graduate student Carrie Wang is studying him. There’s just one problem, Carrie’s attracted to her broad-shouldered research subject. But she shouldn’t be, because Carrie is pregnant with Charles Winston’s baby. However, that one-night-stand occurred in a beaker closet and Charles wants nothing to do with her or the child.

Besides being handsome in a long-haired, scruffy sort-of-way, Caleb Cooper is kind and quirky. Carrie can’t stop touching him and their unprofessional attraction is mutual. Problems abound when Carrie’s traditional Chinese mother and Charles come to the rodeo. Carrie’s mother wants her to hook a husband and Charles wants Carrie to give the baby up for adoption. Carrie knows she could never let a stranger raise her child. Can Carrie go against everyone’s wishes and raise the baby on her own? Or could Caleb become a father to this child?

Now she is a pregnant woman trying to find out what would be the right thing for her. With nowhere to turn, she takes a job as a “concussion researcher” for the Bull Riders Association in hopes of getting “away” from everything to get a handle on her life. What she doesn’t expect is a handsome cowboy rescuing her along the way...

"Christy" [Previously published as "The Christmas Marriage Rescue"]

My Story Summary : Feeling that she was being left behind in her marriage, Christy thought the only way she could bring things around (and be noticed) is by leaving. Secretly hoping that her husband, Alessandro, would come for her, and their kids, and drag her home. However, that never happened. So now with the kids' Christmas break coming up and the number one thing on their Christmas lists are to have their family together for the holidays. Which give Christy the perfect excuse to go home, see her husband again, and possibly pick up the pieces of their marriage for the better.

Unless, Alessandro didn't come after her because he really wants to get a divorce, but he can't want that .... right?

My Story Review : 3 out of 5 stars. This was a cute and steamy story of a pair of stubborn and prideful people who are learning how to possibly save their marriage. It also helps that they have two nosy kids of their own that are willing to do anything to bring them back together too. All of the characters were great, plus the setting and hospital details I couldn't get enough of.

Story Teaser :

Alessandro eyed the dangerous glint in her eye and felt the hot burn of lust spread through his body. He'd always loved her passion and strength. The fact that she was afraid of nothing. 'You're a strong woman, that's true, querida,' he drawled, 'but---'
'But nothing! Believe it or not, I still have a brain, Alessandro, and giving birth to your children hasn't changed that fact.' Passion and fire burned in her eyes and he was suddenly relieved that she'd put the knife down. ~ within Chapter 2

"Miranda" [Previously published as "The Midwife's Christmas Miracle"]

My Story Summary : Miranda just moved to the Lake District and is trying to make a new, and better, life for herself and her unborn baby. She thinks nothing of taking a walk to clear her head and think about what has happened in her life recently. That is until she comes out of her daydreams she was having on a rock to find that it's snowing and the snow is so high that she isn't sure how to make it back to the parking lot where she left her bike. This is how Jake finds and meets Miranda, then gets her to go back to his place to spend the rest of Christmas with him. As the day progresses he admits to himself that he likes Miranda and he wants to get to know her better.

However, by the next day she has taken off without leaving her number for him, yet without meaning to he finds her later that day in his department at the hospital working there. Over the next couple of days, which turn into months, Jake takes it upon himself to take care of Miranda and find out the secrets she seems to be hiding and the reasons behind them. But will he be able to change Miranda's mind about never wanting to be in a romantic relationship again or will her secrets hold her back??

My Story Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. This was a sweet story of a fiercely independent woman and a very determined man who need each other more then either first realizes. However, even though Miranda is very reluctant to start anything, Jake plans to win her over at all costs made this story interesting.

What I didn't like was how slow this story was in comparison to the first one. Blah .... it could have been a bit better. =0/

Story Teaser :

'Has anyone ever told you that you're controlling?'
He smiled and strolled towards the door. 'Frequently. Blame it on the job. Occasionally I'm required to make instant, unilateral decisions. Sometimes that spills into my personal life.'
She watched him leave, a small, regretful smile on her face. ~ within Chapter 6

"The Sheikh's Unruly Lover" [Almasi Sheikhs Series, Book 2] by Leslie North

Author's Book Description : Following a recent merger, American executive assistant Marian is sent overseas to meet with her company’s new Arab business partner. But once Marian sees who she’ll be working with—the handsome Sheikh Omar Almasi—she’s instantly wary of his good looks and brooding demeanor. When circumstances force her to step into her boss’ shoes, Marian is more than ready to prove she should be taken seriously...even if it means working side by side with the surly, sexy sheikh.

Two years after losing his wife to cancer, Omar is more driven than ever in his family’s oil business. He opposed the merger with the US tech firm, and now that it’s done, he refuses to compromise himself for corporate Americans. But Omar is caught off guard when he meets beautiful, business-savvy Marian. The woman drives him wild with her stubborn determination and her distracting allure. He’s never had to work so closely with someone so…feminine, and the more time they spend together, the more he has to fight his impulses.

Soon their attraction is undeniable, but with the wound of his wife’s death still not healed, Omar may never be ready to move on…unless Marian can show him how to love again.

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars! Will Marian & Omar be able to move on from their misgivings to negotiate a good deal or will everything fall apart, just as they try to get their bliss?

"Ditched: A Love Story" by Robin Mellom

My Book Summary : Justina finds herself at 6:15 am, the day after her Senior Prom, sitting in a ditch on the side of the road. She pulls herself together and walks down the road with every intention of finding a way home. Quickly she comes across a 7-Eleven where she finds a convenience store clerk who seems sympathetic enough to listen to her story. Going through her story, the clerk helps her find out how her best friend, and prom date, could turn into Captain Scumbag when just before prom she was thinking about taking their friendship to the next level. Will everything finally make since once she talks through what happened or it be obvious why she became DITCHED!!

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, it's a funny mystery through and through, about best friends who both want to be something more than friends but the night they plan on doing so they never seem to be on the same page. This novel has some of the same premise as "One Night That Changes Everything" by Lauren Barnholdt, but only in the aspect of something bad happened to Justina, she needs to find out what happened, and it has to do with her "boyfriend."

I really liked how this novel goes back and forth between Justina's previous events of what happened to get her into that ditch and her sitting at the 7-Eleven with the convenience store clerk and the other costumer. Very well written!! Plus ... the ending is just OHH soo good! =0) As well as the really cute epilogue!

However, I will admit that there were some parts that annoyed me and some parts that were a little slow but all in all this novel was enjoyable to read!

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed reading "One Night That Changes Everything," or to anyone who loves reading YA romance novels!! ♥
