Ask For The Moon, by Rochelle Paige. Paranormal Romance Release & ARC Review


Ask for the Moon
Rochelle Paige
Genre: Paranormal Romance
PURCHASE LINK:




BLURB:
A determined alpha + An unsuspecting wallflower = A sexy surprise!

Seth Bashar carries the weight of the shifter world on his shoulders as the head of their council. Or at least it’s felt that way ever since he attempted the impossible—uniting witches and shifters. As he tries to maintain the delicate balance, finding his fated mate is more vital than ever.

Jane Smith has no responsibilities to anyone but herself. Finally. She’s more than happy to fade into the woodwork. When her favorite customer, Gerri Wilder, insists on setting her up on a blind date, she reluctantly agrees.

It was only supposed to be a harmless night of fun... until it was more. Until he was everything.


REVIEW

🌟🌟🌟🌟


Alpha Seth Bashar is head of the shifter council.  When his dragon friend insisted it was time he started getting proactive in finding his fated mate the only one who can really help is the matchmaker. 
Jane Smith is a lone wolf living in the city.  She doesn't even realise how lonely she is.  The matchmaker Gerri Wilder is a welcome customer in the tea shop she runs.  Gerri has never before mentioned Jane's lack of love life, so when she does Jane knows there is a reason. 
Our alpha is a very busy man it makes sense to let someone else find his mate for him.  Will Jane's past get in the way of her future??. 
A short,  sexy addition to the Black River Pack series and a link to Milly Taidens Paranormal Dating Agency world. 
Good fun. 



EXCERPT
The bell above the door to the shop announced the arrival of another customer, and my breath froze in my lungs when I glanced up and saw the man walking towards me. He was most definitely a shifter—tall, dark, and handsome. Screw handsome, he was more than that. He was downright gorgeous. Thick, black hair. A chiseled jaw covered with scruff. Plump lips that I could too easily picture trailing down my naked skin. Broad shoulders, tapered waist, and long legs that quickly ate up the space between us. He was easily a half foot taller than my five feet nine inches. I felt downright dainty standing in front of him.

He looked completely out of place in the store; the proverbial bull in a china shop. That didn’t stop me from having to fight the urge to leap over the counter and into his arms, though. My wolf pushed for control, and it was a struggle I hadn’t felt in years. I’d been keeping her on a tight leash—one she’d seemed content to stay on. Until now. Until him.

I spotted the brown paper bag in his hand, and realization dawned. “Gerri sent you?”

“Yes,” he rasped.

I eyed him up and down, taking in the way the black material of his shirt was stretched taut by his muscles and how his jeans molded his legs. Looking at him, it was impossible to argue that my vibrator was getting the job done. Not when he was an alternative.
“Wow,” I breathed out. “You’re the guy she wants to set me up on a blind date with?”

bear the burden - blog tour.jpg

AP - Synopsis.jpg


Camden McMahon has never trusted witches. He’s willing to temporarily overlook his animosity and work with a coven in order to put an end to the threat against his family. Then he meets the daughter of their high priestess, a gifted witch in her own right—and Camden’s fated mate.

Selene Trevil has always treasured the magic which flows through her veins. Until it calls out to Camden and marks him as her intended consort. A relationship between a shifter and a witch is unheard of, but resisting his pull is impossible.

Will Camden and Selene have to bear the burden of the past? Or will their love be enough to overcome all the obstacles standing in their way?

AP- Excerpt.jpg



His hands were hot as they gripped my upper thighs, his fingers spreading me open. He blew against my lips before running his tongue up and down my clit. My eyes clenched tight as my body went taut at the feel of his mouth on me.
“Watch me as I taste you for the first time, Selene.”
My eyes popped open at his command, but it was difficult to keep them that way when his tongue flicked out and stroked my clit. I plunged my hands into his hair, trying to bring his face even closer to me. Stiffening his tongue, he buried it deep inside me, tongue-fucking me until I was writhing with need before he replaced it with two fingers. His fingers were so large, they stretched me wide as he rubbed against my G-spot.
“So close,” I muttered, feeling my climax starting to build. My legs tightened against his head as I tried to gain the added pressure I needed to set me off.
Then he wrapped his lips around my clit and sucked hard before gently biting down. The combination of pain and pleasure was enough to throw me over the edge. I screamed as my climax hit my body and held his head to me so I could grind my hips against his mouth.
Camden gave me a few last licks before rubbing his mouth along my thigh. “My mate has the sweetest pussy.”

Camden is the only one of the McMahon bears not to have found his fated mate. That means it's down to him to help their father find and finish the threat that hangs over them. His brothers need to protect their mates , now more than ever.
Selene is the daughter of the witch high priestess.  She has never been confident with her magic. It has come to her mother's notice that a dark magic practitioner is being used to aid an evil shifter. They need to help the shifter clan being targeted, but witches and shifters have a long history of distrust.
This is the third book in this series and must be read in order. It has a lot of intense magic and some very hot sex scenes. The families on both sides will have to overcome old prejudices to survive the battle to come.  A very enjoyable read.

I absolutely adore reading - always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.
I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it.

The McMahon Clan by Rochelle Paige. My Review of All 3 Books.



Bear The Consequences.

★★★★
Finley is the alpha wolfs daughter, and has been treated like a princess all her life. She hopes when she finds her mate she will be as happy as her parents.
Alasdair is a bear shifter and has to visit the wolf pack where his sister grew up.
There is bad blood between the bears and the wolves, but that doesn't matter when he sees Finley. There will be major adjustments for everyone to make. A very good shifter romance.
This is the first of the McMahon bears series, but it links to the Black River Pack series. You could read it on it's own but I personally think it would  be best to read the others first.
                                   
                                     


Bear It All.

★★★★★
Tahlia is a lioness shifter and has been called up by the Shifter Council to work as an agent. This particular job is her working as a stripper in a nightclub,  hoping she can get the information the council needs.
Braden is a bear shifter and works on the council with his dad and brothers. When his dad call for him to go with him to get information from one of their agents he doesn't expect to find his mate.
This story moves so fast you don't have time to draw breath. Our heroine is a great character.  A real feisty woman, who doesn't put up with anyone pushing her about. Our hero has a real problem using his big head brain instead of the one in his little head. His bear keeps him very on edge.
A good fun read.

Bear it All.( McMahon Clan #2) By Rochelle Paige. ONLY 99c. + ARC Review.




The last thing Tahlia Griffen wanted to be was a stripper. But when the shifter council asks for a favor, stripping is the best way to get the job done. Only she ends up finding more than just bad guys on this mission.

Braden McMahon never expected to find his fated mate on stage at the Honey Pot. Now that he did, his bear is pushing hard to lay claim. And no one can see her naked. Ever.

Will Braden be able to stand by and let Tahlia do her job, even if it means she needs to bear it all

Identity Crisis by Rochelle Paige. Blog Tour, Excerpt + My ARC Review.

    

                                            



                                                               **BLOG TOUR STOP**
                                                        Identity Crisis by Rochelle Paige
                                        As seen in the July issue of Glamour Magazine UK

An ex-military security specialist...
Blaine West is halfway around the world when he gets a frantic message from his childhood sweetheart. She needs to lay low for awhile so he puts her in touch with someone who can help her until he can get back to town.

A dead body...
When Blaine arrives at the hotel where they were supposed to meet, he learns the body of a local author was discovered that morning but there's no sign of his old flame.

And a case of mistaken identity...

EXCERPT:

The sound of the garage door going up startled me, setting me into motion. It was a good thing I had been trained to make split second decisions with limited information because that skill set was being put to the test right now. I moved toward the kitchen as I ran the possible scenarios through my head. If it was Serena using a friend’s place to lay low, then I was in the clear. If it was a boyfriend or family member of the dead author, I was probably screwed. A cleaning person or friend, I might be okay. The bottom line was, I had no way of knowing which scenario I was about to face, but it didn’t matter. There wasn’t a chance in hell I was going out the back without knowing if the person walking through that door was Serena.

Right as my decision was made, I heard the sound of the garage door lowering, quickly followed by the door connecting the garage to the house opening and closing. A deep feminine sigh resonated, but I stayed in position, on the other side of the refrigerator and out of sight. The sound of footsteps got closer and then a woman entered the kitchen. I hadn’t meant to make a noise, but I shifted as soon as I realized who was standing in front of me. I moved toward her so I could cover her mouth and get her under control before she screamed and one of the neighbors came to see what was wrong. And holy fuck, there was plenty wrong with this situation since the woman was supposed to be dead.


                                       

                                       identity crisis teaser.jpg

This book is an whirlwind for our heroine. Delia is an author who shut herself off from the outside world to finish her book. She is feeling sad and a little lonely saying goodbye to her characters.  She spends much more time with them than real people.  It's time to join the real world,  maybe even find a man like one of the heroes in her books. 
Be careful what you wish for.
Blaine was a navy SEAL,  but has been medically retired.  He is now head of security for a very rich man. When he gets a message from his high-school sweetheart, that she is in trouble. There is nothing else to do but drop everything to help her.
When the News breaks that a woman has been murdered, Blaine knows it is linked to the woman he came to save.
Our heroine finds herself in the middle of something that could have come from one of her books, complete with the super sexy hero.
Our hero easily slips into the role of protector. He must do all he can to find out why one woman is dead and another in grave danger.  He has to call in his best friend and SEAL buddy to help.
A fast paced, and exciting book. Beautiful sexy characters, and lots of fun. There is obviously going to be a follow up book, that I will definitely be reading.

Meet the Tate brothers... and the mates fate has in store for them.

Crying Wolf
Grace Shaw is on the run from her crazy ex-boyfriend who refuses to believe their relationship is over. He's a cop and is willing to use police resources to track her down. So Grace comes up with a plan and tricks his fellow brothers in blue into thinking he is crying wolf a couple of times when he's reported her missing. Little does she know she'll go running into the arms of a real wolf when she finally makes her escape for real.

She just wants to be left alone, but then she meets Hunter Tate - the alpha of the Black River Pack. Grace tries to hold Hunter at arm's length, but there's just no reasoning with an alpha male werewolf who insists she's his mate.


Shoot for the Moon
Eliza Reve knows that her ability to dream of future events sets her apart from others. Her gift became a curse when she wasn't able to save her mother or the alpha's son and she found herself exiled - a lone wolf. When she joins the Black River Pack, Eliza vows never to reveal her talent to anyone. Not even the man who has walked in her dreams for years.

Spencer Tate is her mate, but her visions have told her that he will renounce her. When he doesn't recognize her as his mate, she agrees to the no-strings-attached affair he offers because she thinks it's the most she can hope for. Although her heart breaks as she falls deeper in love with him, she wants to spend as many days with Spencer as possible before he kicks her out of his life.

When Spencer finally comes to his senses, he has his work cut out for him to convince Eliza that he wants her forever. When another she-wolf insists she's his mate instead, things get even more complicated. But Spencer isn't the alpha's second and enforcer because he isn't willing to fight for what's his, and he refuses to settle for anything less than Eliza as his marked and claimed mate.


Thrown to the Wolves
Annora Channing's entire world changes the moment she discovers she's a bear shifter. With mated wolves for parents, she should have been a wolf also. When the man she grew up thinking was her father realizes she isn't his daughter, he devises a plan to use her existence to his advantage in a way that will get her out from under his roof.

When her situation goes from bad to worse, Annora escapes but is badly injured in the process. Luckily, Elias Reve comes to her rescue while on his way to Wolf's Point and the daughter he lost years ago. With nowhere else to go and nobody to turn to, Annora joins him on his journey and ends up running smack-dab into the arms of her mate.

Parker Tate knows Annora is his the moment he lays eyes on her. When he manages to mate and mark her within hours of when they meet, he considers himself lucky. Then the trouble nipping at Annora's heels finds her and Parker realizes the path to claiming his mate won't be as easy as he thought - especially not with the bears involved.

   MY REVIEW:

★★★★☆
This is the 1st of The Black River Pack series.
Grace is desperate to leave her abusive boyfriend, but because he is a cop that will be difficult. After her escape she has to keep moving so that he can't find her.
Hunter is not happy that his brother has hired a human woman to work in his bar. Werewolves have a tendency to get rowdy, and that is dangerous with outsiders about. As soon as Grace sets foot in the bar Hunter changes his mind, he knows she belongs to him. The one thing he is worried about is the smell of real fear coming from her.
This is a short but complete story, and a good introduction to the series.  Our heroine has good reason to be afraid but she is not a coward. Our hero is just what you expect from a good Alpha. A very good read.

MY REVIEW. of Shoot for The Moon.
★★★★☆
This is book #2 from The Black River Pack.

Eliza has always had dreams that come true. Her mother told her she must keep them a secret, even from her father. When she felt compelled to tell her Alpha of a bad one, he exiled her from the pack.
Then she found Wolf Point and realised that her mate was part of the Black River pack. It is upsetting to find that he doesn't feel the same.
Spencer is the pack enforcer.  He is drawn to Eliza but knows she can't possibly be his mate. His grandmother told him his mate would be the one who walks in dreams. 

This series must be read in order. Because this story relates so much to the happenings in the first one, you will know some of the things that are in this one. That does not spoil this story.  Eliza and Spencer have a very complicated relationship, and he made a big mistake. It is very hard for a wolf like Spencer to admit his mistakes when his woman is giving him a hard time.
An emotional and sexy book. I look forward to reading the next one.

MY REVIEW:

★★★★★
Black River Pack #3
Annora has always had a bad relationship with her father.  Instead of the love and protection that the other she wolves got from their father's, Annora was constantly bullied and could never be good enough for him. When the day came that she found out why she knew she had to run for her life.
Parker knows his true mate is out there somewhere, and is in danger.. It is tormenting him that he can't find her to help her. He has some big surprises coming.
There is a lot of good things happening within the Black River pack .
A lovely sexy and emotional story from a very good series.
