Magic Fire (Shifting Magic #1) by Catherine Vale. Paranormal Romance/Fantasy. Release & ARC Review.

They're the most unlikely duo you could imagine. After all, what could a fiercely independent Fae possibly want with a stubborn dragon who seems to think he needs to protect her?  Okay, sure, Darius is spine-tingling sexy shifter with a wicked sense of humor, not to mention that cocky smirk on those deliciously perfect lips that can't seem to stop smiling at her...

But Kaye isn't that kind of girl.  She is a powerful fairy, and the last thing she wants is to be burdened by this mysterious stranger, even if he does insist that her life is in danger.

Who does he think he's dealing with?  Kaye doesn't need protection from anything, and even if she did; she can certainly handle herself. Or, so she thinks.  But when the dark shadows nip at her heels, and evil curls its inky fingers around her world, threatening to destroy everything she loves, she might just change her mind. That is, if it's not too late.

Her only hope of survival may lie with the one man she doesn't want, but can't seem to forget her dragon.

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Kaye is having a weekend away with her Fae friends enjoying the open air,  so different to New York city.  Up in cave in the mountain she meets a dragon shifter.
Darius is a dragon shifter who specializes in security work.  He is insisting that Kaye is in grave danger.  He is soon proved right.  

The magical battles will have you trying to hide under the wing of a big strong dragon.
This is a YA fantasy story with lots of magical beings.  Our heroine has a lot to learn, mainly about herself.  Our hero is under a curse that stops him using a particular power.
This is the first book in the series and lays the rules for the battles still to come.
A fun read.

Happily Ever Alpha, by Catherine Vale. Paranormal Romance. My Review.

GOODREADS

Arya has lost everything... her clothes, her jewels, her home, and even her beloved parents - all gone in the blink of an eye. To go from the fancy tearooms of London, to an old farm in the country was hard enough, but then she finds herself caught between two men who are intent on destroying each other.

The handsome Lucas sweeps in at her weakest moment, showing her incredible kindness and compassion. He's strong, hardworking, and gentle; everything she ever wanted in a man.

That is, until she meets the sinfully sexy Kellan.

Arya begins to feel a mysterious pull toward the darkness of the forest, despite her family warning her to stay far away. Still, as much as she tries to resist, the call is too powerful to ignore, and she finds herself caught in a mysterious maze that leads her to the most unexpected of places, and to a man unlike any other.

Kellan. He is a natural born fighter, a man of mystery, with the promise of forever on his lips. A man who claims to be her one true mate, her destiny.

Determined not to let some silly idea of fate decide her future, Arya makes it clear that she is in control of her own life. She will be the one to decide which path to take, even at the cost of war.

🌟🌟🌟🌟

After the brutal murder of her parents,  Arya goes to live with her aunt in the country.  It is a very different type of life to the one she was used to. 
A nice man from a neighbouring farm shows a lot of interest in her,  but something is pulling her to the nearby woods. 
Kellan is a wolf shifter from a pack that is being hunted by humans.  When a human woman finds the pack's village he knows he is in for trouble. 
An unusual shifter romance,  in a historical setting.  They fight with swords and bows and arrows,  although at least one was wearing jeans.  Plenty of danger and emotion,  with just a little sex. 
A very enjoyable read.

This special collection of military shifter romance stories, includes 3 scorching hot paranormal romance books in one collection! 

Shift In Plans: 
When Brody returns home from war, he discovers that he can’t go back to the way things were. He now carries a dark secret that threatens to consume him, and if he doesn’t learn to control his inner beast, it will destroy any chance of happiness. 

Desperate to escape his past, he leaves it all behind, looking to start a new life. But when he winds up at a nightclub, it doesn’t take long before someone crosses boundaries, and his truth is revealed. The fiery redhead, responsible for capturing his attention, is no other than Aubrey Townsend, and she’s about to add a whole other set of problems to Brody’s already complicated life. 

Wild At Heart: 
Liam has been obsessed with the curvy Madeline for years, but she's far from your ordinary woman. Not only is she a mobster's daughter, she's the best thing that ever happened to Liam. The only thing worth remembering since his return from war. 

Forced to keep his distance, he struggles with the constant reminder that she was the one that got away. That is until he discovers that she is the mark of a hit, and he needs to move quickly before it's too late. There's just one complication: He's the man responsible for taking her out. 

Never Cry Wolf: 
Irresistibly seductive, and beautifully complicated, Reece Golden finds himself constantly at war with his inner beast, when it comes to women. His human side is attracted to sinfully wild bad girls, while his wolf wants a quality woman, who knows what she wants in life, and isn't afraid to take it. 

His world is about to be turned upside down when his beast finally agrees with his human, and the target is in his sights. 

When the billionaire playboy finds himself tangled up in a property scandal, and comes face to face with the wickedly curvy Jade Nash, he knows his wild bachelor lifestyle is over, once and for all. She is everything both him, and his beast have wanted, and what the shifter wants, the shifter gets. 

What he doesn't know is that unlike the other women he so easily attracts, with his skillful hands, and fiery passions, the buxom brunette isn't going down without a fight. It'll take more than sweet whispers and soft touches, to win her over. It's time to let his beast take control.

Note To Readers: Band Of Wolves is a collection of 3 BBW paranormal military werewolf shifter romance novels. Enjoy!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Shift In Plans. 
☆☆☆☆☆
Special Ops soldier Brody Matthews was turned into a werewolf while on active duty.  Now released from service he has to try and make a new life for himself.  The life he had planned was destroyed by what happened to him. 
Aubrey Townsend is a shifter who has been forced into a relationship with someone who threatened to destroy her father's business. 
This is a sexy paranormal romantic suspense.  I love the characters, and the story line.  Although we never find out how the ending was covered up in a world that knows nothing about the paranormal. 
*****************
Wild At Heart. 

☆☆☆☆☆
Since his military service ended ,Liam McCauly has found himself dragged back into life in the Chicago mob. Obviously no good deed goes unpunished. Now however he is given orders to abduct the daughter of a rival mob boss to use a bait .
Madeline Giordano has always stayed away from her father's business interests. Now he is in Mexico hopefully he is safe. She never expected to get drawn into it.  
This is another of the special forces team that was made a werewolf while on duty.  Our heroine will find out what true monsters are like. 
Really good story lines to this series and great characters. 
***************
Never Cry Wolf. 
☆☆☆☆☆
Jade Nash has just found out she inherited a ranch in Texas,  from a distant uncle. She is a photographer who makes a living in New York and has no interest in the property.  She can soon sell it and get back to work. 
Reece Golden is the owner of many cattle ranches in Texas , and an ex special forces soldier who was turned into a werewolf.  When he hears the old man he lived as a child has died he goes to pay his respects. 
The ranch is much more run down than it should be, but someone is willing to pay way over the value for it.  Something is not right. 
Another really good and sexy romantic suspense.  This one you could easily read on it's own because the rest of the team are not involved.  Our hero might be a super rich alpha male but he has a very soft heart.  Our heroine is used to making her own way in the world. 
I do love this series , I'm hoping there might be more to come.

Murder By Magic (Dark Portal #1) by Catherine Vale. Urban Fantasy ARC Review.

Add To

GOODREADS

As the youngest detective—and only—woman in the homicide unit, Jessica Sharpe quickly discovers that being promoted to lead Detective isn’t all that she thought it would be. When a series of gruesome murders takes place, she is the one responsible for finding the killer, before they strike again.

Crime reporter by day, and Gatekeeper to a world of magic by night, Euros Desard thinks he’s seen it all. That’s all about to change when he discovers that dark magic is behind a series of brutal murders, and that the portal between the two worlds is about to be blown wide open. 

Despite a history of bad blood and broken hearts, the two of them must come together if they stand a chance of protecting their worlds from the darkness that threatens to invade. Time is running out, and if they don’t learn to work together, not even magic will be able to save them.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Detective Jessica Sharpe has recently been promoted to homicide.  This new case is her first as lead. She knows it's going to be a real pain because of who the victim is,  and the state of him. 
Euros Desard is a journalist,  in the human world.  He is also a Mage gatekeeper.  He is supposed to make sure no beings pass through the portals between the realms.  Our heroine will face much more than just an ex boyfriend who she will have to work with. The hero has to try and explain his world to have any chance of saving both worlds. 
This is a marvellous murder/mystery with lots of magic flying about,  and such fast action you might need to buckle in.  It has all the tension of a police procedure book with the added magic.  I hope there will be a series coming from this story .
An exciting, magical story.

Run Fur Love, by Catherine Vale. A BBW Tiger Shifter Romance ARC review.

Ad Tod

GOODREADS

 Harley Myers can smell a shifter a mile away. And she could smell trouble, just as easily. And now both were wrapped up in the drifter that sat at the end of her bar. He wasn't one of her tigers, and she didn't know what he wanted, but he was sending out enough signals that he was interested in getting her attention. 


Was he worth getting involved with? Hell, yeah. No guy like him had come her way in a long time. She'd just have to be careful. Being the leader of a motorcycle club had taught her that.

Jericho Steele was an assassin with time to kill. He'd found himself in this hole-in-the-wall pub, and thought there was no better way to kill time than with the sexy girl behind the bar. She had more curves than a switchback highway, and he thought she would be just the thing to keep him occupied until he found his target. He just needed to keep his shifter status a secret. The clubs here were close knit and even though he was a tiger, his stripes would stick out like that proverbial sore thumb.

But when the leader of a rival club thinks Jericho double-crossed him, and Harley's brother is accused of a drug deal gone bad, both of them end up with targets on their backs. The only thing they can do now is stick together. And run like hell, until the smoke clears. 

       

Harley Myers is the owner of a bar and the leader of a motorcycle club.  Most of the men in the club are shifters.  That doesn't stop her noticing the second a new tiger shifter comes through the door. 
Jericho Steele is a drifter,  just passing through,  and seeking shelter from the storm.  That is what he claims anyway. 
The next morning all he'll breaks loose.  Will either of them manage to survive the day?. 
Lots of danger, excitement and steamy sex.  Our heroine has no idea who she can trust.  Our hero has a big secret. 
Good shifter fun.

Natalya should have known better than to watch the handsome fisherman from the shadows, but she found herself drawn to him, night after night. If she had only stayed away, he would not be suffering a life of eternal darkness. But she couldn’t stay way, and now it’s too late; he’s been turned into an abomination, a creature that will never again be free.

Natalya is all that Caine has left. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Natalya knows better than anyone what it’s like to have her world ripped out from under her, forced into the darkness, never to walk in the sun again. It wasn’t long ago when she was turned into a blood-sucking vamp, a ruthless killer. So when she finds herself to blame for an innocent human being turned, she knows that it’s up to her to save his life. But when Caine awakens to discover what he has become, will he ever be able to find his place in a world, where he just doesn’t fit in? And can he learn to forgive Natalya long enough to fight alongside her?

When a merciless pack of werewolves scent the newly created vamp, they will stop at nothing to destroy him, and everything he loves. Caine must learn to embrace his darkness, if he wishes to survive. 

Natalya is a vampire,  there is a human she has become fascinated with.  Unfortunately for him that puts him in terrible danger, 
Caine is furious over the change in his "life" , but drawn to the beautiful woman who helped him. 
This change is only the first of many battles he must face,  and it will also affect the lives of many others. 
A sexy,  action packed vampire romance with lots of excitement and very interesting characters.  I hope to meet some of them again in future books.

Wild Things by Catherine Vale. Paranormal Romance. ARC Review.

Add To GOODREADS

Senna, the curvy Princess, and fierce protector of her kingdom, refuses to be given away in marriage to the Ottway, an evil bastard of a man, who just so happens to be aligned with her father. Marriage arranged, Senna is torn between what she must do for her kingdom, and what her heart truly wants. 

Gabriel isn't just Senna's guard, but a powerful wolf-shifter, who just so happens to want her as his own. It would be treason to go against the wishes of the King, but what these old men don't seem to know, is that when it comes to love, rules are meant to be broken. 

Will Gabriel be successful in his attempt to rescue Senna from danger? And if they make a run for it, will they be able to survive in a world of aliens and shifters, who will stop at nothing to destroy them, should they rebel? 

Note To Readers: This is a quirky, fun story set in a modern world with a steam-punk feel, mixed with everything you want in a paranormal shifter romance. Gabriel is a wolf-shifter, and Senna is the curvy lady that he's willing to do anything for, including give up his life, if he must. This story, along with all of my other stories, will end in a HEA, but the journey to get there will be nothing short of wild. Hold on tight! 

       

This is set in a savage desert world that has been invaded by Aliens with lizard like skin.
Senna is a princess who is being forced to marry a powerful neighbour, although she loves someone else.  To cross the desert she must travel on a train.  Even that doesn't guarantee safety. 
Gabriel is a wolf shifter and the captain of the royal guard.  He cannot let his princess leave without a guard of her own. 
The man our heroine is marrying is even more evil than she thought. 
An exciting,  danger filled trek across an unforgiving land.  Almost an apocalyptic setting outside of the royal residence.  There are a few laughs mainly with their transportation.  Camels are not easy creatures to deal with. 
A very entertaining read.

Dark Side Of The Moon. by Catherine Vale. Paranormal/Sci-Fi Romance. ARC Review.

  

Add To GOODREADS

Veronica Maxwell has never fit in. Not into the cliques in high school, not even in her own family. Her mother was only concerned about her daughter gaining weight, and her father wasn't much better. So, she turned to martial arts as a way of venting out that anger, and that's how she ended up in the ring, fighting her ass off, fired up and ready to compete.

Mikel Taso is used to fighting. He lives in a world of constant war; clans fighting clans and shifters fighting shifters. But when his clan is threatened by extinction, he knows he has no other choice but to abandon his planet for a thriving one: earth. And that's how he came face to face with our kick-ass heroine, and the one woman he believes is his one true mate.

When these two fighters' cross paths, it sets in motion a series of events that will not only test their will to survive against all odds, but to survive each other. And Veronica isn't going down without a fight.

Readers: This is a sexy were-bear paranormal shifter romance, featuring a curvy BBW heroine, alien sci-fi action and one dominant alpha who knows how to make a woman scream his name. Snag your copy and talk a walk on the wild side of love!

Veronica Maxwell has always been a big strong girl.  She took up martial arts as a child, when her mother wanted her to lose weight. She fell in love with all forms of fighting especially boxing.  However,  being tough doesn't make her feel feminine.  The men around her just want to prove she can be beaten.  Even if they can't do it. 
Mikel  Taso is the leader of a group of shifter aliens.  He, with a team of mercenary's have come to Earth to find suitable mates to take back to his planet. 
This is definitely action packed.  Our heroine will have to fight harder than ever before, but just maybe she can find someone who appreciates the real woman she is.  The hero is a bit arrogant and has a bear of a temper.  The story grabbed me on the first page and kept me reading well past bedtime.  Just enough raunchy sex to get your motor running. 
I loved it.
