GOODREADS


For vet and animal whisperer Charli Avers, talking to bears is all in a day’s work. But when she finds a man—a very sexy, very alpha man—where a bear ought to be, the wild comes close to home. Charli is drawn to this mysterious stranger. She wants to help him piece together the past he can’t remember—even if that means shedding her human misgivings and embracing her more carnal desires.

After shifting from bear to man, Barry believes he’s finally found his mate. Now he just needs to find himself. He doesn’t know much about the animal within him, but his human heart aches for Charli. She ignites his instincts to protect her from all danger—including their electric attraction.

The stakes climb as Charli investigates the mystery behind Barry’s memory loss and how it may relate to strange sightings and thefts in this little corner of Oregon. Without answers, she may lose Barry—and herself—to the wild side forever.

Charli Avers is a Veterinarian with a special gift.  That gift has landed her a job working with a team that will hopefully solve crimes that might involve shifters.  The public at large don't know they exist.  Her team includes two shifters a human boss and herself.  They can also call on a few local cops. 
When a bear disappears from her barn and a naked man with no memory is there instead, Charli knows there is a mystery to solve. 
This book is obviously the start of a series. Our protagonists might think the cases solved but us readers know better.  All the characters are a lot if fun,  with many more stories to tell.  It's a nice long book so it gives us time to really get into the characters and the story line.  It has everything you could want from your shifter romance,  danger,  mystery, sex and lots of giggles.  I loved it and can't wait for the next one.

A tormented earl
A gentle widow
Both in need of rescue

After several suspicious accidents nearly kill her young son, Grace Stannus, a widowed viscountess, and her son, Matthew, flee their home in the dark of night, their identities concealed. Her predicament goes from bad to worse when she’s left ill and penniless alongside a deserted road in the pouring rain, not realizing the danger she faces is just beginning.

Rather than celebrating his betrothal, Tristan Hawke, the Earl of Adair, seeks refuge at his country estate, hoping to convince himself he hasn’t made a mistake by proposing marriage for all the wrong reasons. His world is upended when his coach strikes a woman. Fearing the worst, Tristan takes Grace and Matthew to his home.

As his lovely and mysterious guest recovers, Tristan is charmed by how kind Grace is--the exact type of person he avoids for fear his temper will crush her. But his efforts to maintain his distance are thwarted by his houseguests as they force him to consider that a gentle spirit might be the perfect antidote to his darkness.

Grace refuses Tristan’s efforts to aid her, certain she must stand on her own, especially since the handsome earl is engaged. But her determination isn’t enough to keep her son safe.

As passions ignite, Grace and Tristan must determine if they can rescue each other from their past demons before fate forces them apart.

Widow Grace Stannus is running away to London to protect her young son from his uncle.  Luck is not going her way.  On foot in the rain the pair are struggling to find shelter. 
Tristan Hawke the Earl of Adair has just got engaged but has left his betrothed in London because he needs to get his head straight.  Pushing on through a storm is not sensible.  When his carriage hits a woman in the rain he knows it's his fault. 
Our hero needs to marry quickly to save the house he loves,  but he is afraid his uncontrollable temper is not good for any woman. 
Our heroine  is scared and has no self confidence at all.  Her brother in law is trying to hurt her son, so all she can think to do is hide. 
This book is part of a series but easily read as a stand alone. 
There is as much an adventure as a romance because our protagonists have a huge learning curve to travel.  Self discovery and friendship are the keys to happiness.  The characters are braver than they know and little Matthew is adorable. 
A very enjoyable book,  with a story line that really keeps the pages turning . I will be reading the rest of the series.

The Fate Of Amber, by Kerri Ann. Paranormal Romance Cover Reveal

Title: The Fate of Amber
Author: Kerri Ann
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2017



Shoan. 
I’ve lived a thousand lives. 
I’ve lived and screwed my way through the ages without ever finding love for my hardened soul. It’s not mine to find; or at least I thought. Her dark red hair, her flashing green eyes, and that piercingly happy and light attitude caught me the moment I saw her in the airport. 
If I thought she was going to be my redemption, would I have chased her, or avoided her as much as possible?
Athena
Twenty nine. I wanted to enter the dirty thirties in a whoring, and dangerously dark sinister way. One night of drinking too much, a conversation about things I know nothing about, and an ill thought out plan of escape turned into a bigger adventure than I’d ever dreamed of. Sure, I wanted a sweaty, broad chested, tall and handsome darling to bring me to my knees. In more ways than one, I got more than I bargained for. 
When the fates align, can hearts endure? Will theirs?
With an avaricious appetite for stories, Kerri Ann can be found quite often with her nose in a book or writing it. On many occasion it has been said that she's in her own world, living in the stories of those she reads about, giving them a life they deserve.
She can easily be found under a tree in the shade, or reclining at Starbucks scribbling notes about new stories and new characters, all while keeping the coffee chain in business. 
Whether late at night, at a music festival, or sitting on a ski lift, when the thoughts arise, Kerri Ann will add them to those in progress. So be wary, your antics could be in her next book.

GOODREADS


Is their passion strong enough to break her chains? 

Andalucรญa Spain, 1489: Innocent Beatriz is desperate to escape the threat of a miserable marriage to a cruel Marquis. Forced into the betrothal by her ruthless merchant papรก, her only hope is to conceal her identity and become a servant in a nearby castle—a life drastically different from her comfortable upbringing. 

Tomรกs doesn’t know what to make of his well-spoken new servant girl. Her beauty and charm captivates the military hero; her mysterious nature intrigues him. And the desire she ignites burns brighter with each glance, as does his longing to claim her for his own. 

Beatriz can’t resist Tomรกs’ passion nor deny the heat of her own. But neither the lush countryside nor the walls of the opulent Moorish castle can entirely protect her—and if he were to discover her secret, she could be torn away from him forever. Yet how can she sustain his love if she’s living a lie?

Beatriz Gonzalez y Serrano ran away from an arranged marriage and took refuge working in a castle. 
Tomas de Zayas was awarded a castle and its grounds by a grateful monarch. Now all the unmarried women and their mothers are descending on him,  trying to get him to choose a bride.  He only has eyes for one woman, and he can't have her. 
This is a very Sexy historical romance.  It is the third in a series but easily read as a stand alone.  It does contain spoilers for the two previous books.  Our heroine has a very good reason for hiding who she is.  Our hero believes he can solve any problems with his sword.  A wonderful love story with lots of really interesting characters.  The characters we meet from the other books make them sound just as good.
