Rocko hates humans. He would rid the world of all of them, only, he can’t kill the innocent, and that’s what he has, an innocent baby. She’s human and he needs someone to take care of her.

Winter was captured but her people don’t trust her. She doesn’t believe in harming wolves, and when she is dragged into the alpha’s house with the demand she look after his child, she doesn’t refuse.

Their first kiss sets her on fire and she wants him more than anything, even though he’s mean, cold, and hateful.

When an attack on their town destroys lives, Rocko has to make a choice. Stay and fight for his pack, or leave with Winter. They don’t want her there, but she’s his mate and he can’t be without her.

Rocko had been alpha of his pack for many years and was happy to do what was needed – including killing many humans – to protect his people and keep his pack safe. When Rocko comes across a woman who had been imprisoned by her own human kind, having heard about her protecting an injured pack child Rocko decided to enslave her to take care of the infant girl in his charge. Winter – given the choice between dying along with everyone from her town or being a prisoner and responsible for the life and wellbeing of the baby girl decides to embrace faux motherhood and being the child’s nanny. Will Winter or Rocko regret their hasty decisions?

This is an interesting and fairly intense story. Readers looking for a light or fluffy werewolf/paranormal story won’t find that here. I was a little surprised at how intense I found Rocko – his violent streak, while suppressed, bubbled just under the surface and his near-hatred of all humans had me surprised he chose Winter to become part of his household, albeit in an enslaved and very limited sense. The author explained Rocko’s reasoning very well, but it still surprised me. Winter had been punished and hated by her fellow humans for showing compassion to an injured child of the pack, and Rocko was a believer in the old adage “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”, but it still felt a little bit contrived.

I really enjoyed the plot around the baby girl – Daphne – and Winter. It was clear that the circumstances surrounding Rocko getting custody of the child were complicated and something he absolutely wasn’t going to discuss with anyone, especially not Winter in the beginning – so watching that unfold was delightful. There is also a strong plotline revolving around the continual conflict between the humans and the wolves. I feel this lends an edge to the story as the skirmishes – while off screen and not descriptively written for the most part – are quite bloody and violent. I really felt it gave the story an air of barely suppressed violence and a darker edge than I’m used to with my paranormal romances.

The growing chemistry and attraction between Rocko and Winter was steamy and very well written to my mind. I was thrilled that the author gave them both some time and space to circle and slowly come together. Had they simply jumped into bed together from the start I really feel their romance and the strength and trust they both came to feel for the other would have had far less of an impact. The longer length of the story and the numerous other aspects of the story helped highlight to me just how fragile and deep the connection and eventual relationship between Rocko and Winter grew to be. I really loved this aspect of the story and felt it was really well written. The steamy hot, smoking and explicit sex was pretty good too.

Readers looking for a slightly edgier and harder style of paranormal romance with a bit of clashing between the wolves and humans and sex hot enough to burn the page should find this story really fits their needs.

I particularly was pleased that while Jenn and Camp are both fairly happy and simple people externally, they both had baggage and a past and were more complicated as they deepened their relationship. This helped them feel more realistic and relatable to me. While I adore uncomplicated and happy characters, something just clicked when they each showed a more vulnerable side and part hurts. I also really enjoyed the fact that while they each had an ice cream food truck and were in a similar area with similar clients they didn’t let this “rivalry” get in the way of friendship and exploring a deeper and more romantic connection between them.

I really loved this happiness and positivity and it made the story really fresh and enjoyable to me.

There was a quick blitz of plot toward the end which I felt injected an interesting hint of surprise into the story, but I couldn’t help but feel it came a little out of left field and felt somewhat rushed to me. This didn’t hurt my enjoyment of the story and while a little puzzling certainly made the adventure of Jenn and Camp coming together and beginning their relationship have a bit more zing than the usual sweet and sugary romance.

Sweet and positive – this was a wonderful “feel good” story and one I really enjoyed. Readers looking for a summery, happy and enjoyable short read should find this totally ticks all the right boxes.

I really enjoyed the complexity of both Bailey and Brahms characters, how they had a number of conflicting desires and feelings that made their relationship – and lack thereof – interesting and slightly different from other stories I’ve read. I also really enjoyed how the small town was filled with a cast of very strong and vibrant secondary characters.

I also really enjoyed the novel idea Bailey had to help float her ice cream store and bring in a lot more traffic.

I love how the author gave plenty of time and space for Brahms and Bailey to connect and become emotionally involved with each other, with the support of the numerous town folk as well and the friction of Brahms’ father’s new business there was plenty of plot and action pushing the pace of this story along so it was lovely to see Bailey and Brahms taking their time and connecting together a bit more slowly.

Their encounter was inevitable, and Mikayla is soon caught up in Austin’s passion and the world she vowed to leave behind. Will surrendering to her former protector cost her the freedom she needs?

Mikayla had come to Pelican Point to enjoy the summer, but also to try and sort out her life. When her old bodyguard shows up she’s surprised, but Austin has news that will rock – and forever change – Mikayla’s world.

This is a short and fast-paced erotic romance story. I enjoyed Austin and Mikayla’s characters and it was clear their long and deep history together had been leading to this exact point where Mikayla was all grown up and Austin was ready to claim her as his own. Readers looking for a deeply paranormal story with intense world-building won’t find that here. While there are magical elements to the story I wish there had been a bit more depth to the world-building. The author handed out some excellent snippets – the looming “Council” position that Mikayla was destined to take up, a potion and a few short bits of performing magic – but overall it felt like the world was just like ours with a few paranormal elements thrown in. I would have enjoyed some more depth to history or explanations about the Council and how/why some people had magical abilities and how they worked.

I enjoyed the romance and steam between Austin and Mikayla and it was deliciously clear they were destined to be together. I couldn’t help that feel both Austin and Mikayla made enormous, life-changing decisions with serious implications rather suddenly and found the situation jarring. Each of them made a complete about-face (Austin about his betrothal and Mikayla about the Council seat) with very little build-up and while I can appreciate there wasn’t a lot of room in such a short story it really felt to me like they were bolts out of nowhere. I would have felt a lot more confidant in their decisions had there been a little more build up, or explanation as to why or how they came to make these important choices, particularly since mere pages before the decisions were made they were expressing polar-opposite opinions. As the reader I wanted to see the lead up both from Austin and Mikayla as to how their opinions changed so drastically and be led with them on this choice – rather than just be told “bang” they had completely changed their mind and were making this life-altering decision.

The last third of the book was absolutely the high point for me – with both a strong magical thread running through the plot and Mikayla and Austin both embracing their love and future I thoroughly enjoyed the way in which the author wrapped up this short story.

With plenty of plot and two interesting characters this overall was a good read.

Can lifelong best friends find their happily ever after in each other?

Ardie and West have been friends since the second grade. They’ve been through a lot together: homework, broken bones, the death of a parent, and dreading high school dances. Through Ardie working the family farm and taking care of his siblings, and West chasing his college boy dreams, their friendship never falters, even with the gap of years and lifestyles.

West goes through a series of boyfriends, making Ardie wish his friend could find someone who loves him as much as Ardie does himself. Waiting for the right time to tell West he’s gay, Ardie figures he’s lost his chance when West finally meets someone who seems just right for him.

When the bottom falls out for West, there’s only one person he thinks to call. Ardie is there for him when he does. A little vacation seems to be the right thing, not just to ease West’s mind, but for Ardie to slide into West’s life again, finally letting his friend know how deeply he cares.

Will these two bet friends realize there might be more between them than just friendship? Find out if their Broken Road lead to happiness in this heartwarming read.

Ardie and West have been best friends since the first day of grade two. Through all the highs and lows, the laughter and tears that life brings the men remain friends – the bond formed on that first day never wavering. And when West eventually calls as his life shatters, Ardie doesn’t hesitate, leaving behind his farm and siblings to be there to help pick up the pieces, to remind West of the simple family love that’s been constant throughout each of their lives.

This is an absolutely amazing story. Readers who love a long, slow drop into love, particularly those “friends to lovers” style of story should find – as I did – that this one is just perfect. A little over the first half of this book shows Ardie and West’s friendship, life and love from the beginning. At first I was a bit nervous, worried the background would bog down the story – but I feel the author did a really amazing job managing to balance this side to the story.

The pace moved fast enough that I didn’t feel in a hurry to get to the present day – where West calls Ardie for help – but instead this helped show the rock-solid foundation of friendship and life that the two men had together. It showed them growing up from boys into men and led us on the paths their lives each took. Woven throughout all this was the friendship – and love – that carried the men through the usual highs and lows of a lifetime. I particularly loved how there wasn’t drama merely for the sake of it – Ardie and West’s lives each held plenty of peaks and troughs and this was ample conflict, plot and tension, the solidness of their friendship, the unwavering love and support didn’t need mis-communications or drama or angst to make it interesting and vibrant and I am so very glad the author kept away from those kinds of tropes.

While the first half of the book focused on how the boys became men and reached their early thirties in life, this slow romantic pace felt just right for such a lovely full length novel. It gave me as the reader time to really relax and enjoy and get hooked on each man. This is the first book in a very long time – months for sure, if not the whole year – that had me reading long into the night and finishing it in one sitting. It was addictive in the most wonderful sense and I simply couldn’t stop and put it down to go to sleep. When West finally reaches rock bottom and calls Ardie, the second half of the story shines even brighter than the first. I was particularly pleased the two men – after a lifetime of being there for each other, supporting and helping one another and loving each other – didn’t simply fall into bed. Their pace increased, sure, but it was still natural, logical and so realistic I wish I knew them for real because it was just a beautiful, wonderful story.

Readers looking for something kinky or crammed full of sex won’t find that here. This book is one of those rare gems that, sure has some smoking hot M/M sex, but is full of all the other wonderful aspects of a solid romance. There’s a large and strong cast of secondary characters, primarily Ardie’s family and a few important people coming and going in West’s life. There is the wonderful road of two lives – similar but different and inextricably woven together forever. There is laughter and tears and so much joy and love it makes me want to burst and go right back to the start immediately and re-experience it all over again.

This is a wonderful, heartfelt and amazing story, one that is absolutely going onto my keeper shelf and one I can most strongly recommend.

I enjoyed this lovely short story. While I didn’t find the speed with which Stone began to trust Mason to be very realistic I was pleased with the chemistry the two men had from the start. Keeping in mind both that this is an erotic romance and a short story, I couldn’t really fault the author for the overall pace of the relationship.

Where I found this story really excelled was in the day-to-day aspect of Stone and Mason growing together and learning the differences between their lives and seeing how they meshed together. Things like Stone focused a lot more on sounds and scents – giving Mason a different perspective on “seeing” the world. It was also lovely, of course, to see Stone trust Mason and get to “see” the world through his descriptions and comments.

I have to admit, at points the similarities between the two men’s name (Stone and Mason are so similar at least in my mind, both referencing a rock/brick/concrete/hard surface etc) that while they were two very distinct and different characters, the similar reference at least in my mind meant I mixed them up a number of times – which truthfully surprised me a little as that almost never happens to me. It’s a tiny niggle – and one that might just be me and my brain being odd – but it happened a number of times throughout the story so I presume at least some other readers may experience a similar thing.

The sex between the men was also smoking hot and deliciously explicit which helped the story speed along at a super fast pace. There is a lot of sex – perhaps as much as half of the story – which I feel readers should expect in an explicit romance story like this. Personally, I felt this was balanced with the growing relationship between the two men, but there wasn’t a lot of plot outside of this so readers looking for a convoluted or layered and deep story might want to consider this.

Romantic and emotional I found this to be a lovely story and despite a few quibbles about how fast it all happened and how very well the two men connected, this was a strongly written and really lovely story. Readers who like heroes that aren’t the cookie-cutter standard mould and relationships that are emotional and heart-felt should adore this story as much as I did.

Years ago, Wes Corbett vowed not to get romantically involved again, fearing anyone close to him might be harmed by his brother William, a born criminal.

With a hurricane bearing down and two convicts escaped and on the loose, Janet has no idea just how crazy her life is about to come when she meets Wes, a stranger in the storm.

I really enjoyed this mystery story. I found Janet to be modern and relatable as a character. The double-whammy of both a hurricane and the escaped convicts felt a little over the top as a plot device, but adding in a twin-mix up with Wes and his convict twin, William, had me just disconnecting my brain and enjoying the story. I really liked the style and tone of the author’s voice and I was attached to Janet and curious as to how everything would sort itself out to her. Wes is a strong and honest hero who has found himself – due to his nefarious twin brother – embroiled in an ever-growing series of crazy events. While exciting and a little outrageous, I felt that ignoring the unreality of the situation was a small price to pay to see where it all led, and I’m very glad I stuck with it. This story has plenty of action and as the book progresses the pace gets faster and grows at a good clip, keeping the reader turning the pages to see what happens next.

While the romance between Janet and Wes simmers I was really pleased that the author allowed them both the time and space for their feelings and attraction to grow naturally. Readers who like a slow pace with their romance should find this is suitable. A number of complications arise that Janet and Wes have to overcome – Janet’s abusive ex, Wes’ convicted felon brother, not to mention a hurricane from Mother nature and all sorts of other issues – but watching Janet and Wes truly begin to care and feel connected to each other is a lovely aspect of the story and I was pleased the romance was present and this wasn’t purely a mystery/suspense novel.

With plenty of action and a fast pace once the plot really gets moving, this is an excellent mystery/suspense story with a strong plot and a bunch of interesting characters.

New to town, werewolf Dark can’t believe there’s a restaurant called The Vegan Werewolf. Even harder to swallow is the fact that the place smells amazing. The food, however, is easy to get down – it’s some of the best he’s ever had and that’s saying a lot as it’s, unbelievably, vegan. What’s also not hard to swallow is Erik, the sweet Chef of the restaurant, and Dark picks him up after the place closes.

Erik’s got a secret, though, one he keeps hidden deep down inside and Dark threatens to bring all the things Erik has buried to the surface.

Can Dark convince Erik that there’s more to life than being a vegan? And that, just maybe, wolves do mate for life?

Dark has only just wandered into town and is testing out all the new sights, scents and scenes. Following his nose, he ends up in front of a small restaurant with the most amazing smells emanating from it. He’s floored by the name – The Vegan Werewolf – but despite his deep skepticism he enters anyway. Anything smelling that good can’t be too bad – even if he knows he hates vegan food. Dark will soon find it’s more than the food here that his mouth waters for.

I absolutely, positively adored this super short story. I was quite skeptical myself – such a short story (not even 50 pages) and one with a werewolf and a chef didn’t sound like one of the best stories I’d read in months. I was utterly wrong – this story is likely one of my top 5 reads so far this year, and I’ve never been happier to be so delightfully surprised. I adored Dark’s character – he’s a werewolf and knows himself, warts and all. This doesn’t, however, stop him from trying something new or being open to possibilities. Despite the fact he knows he hates Vegan food, the smells he encounters – and his hungry stomach – press his hand to trying something completely outside his comfort food. And I loved how he could poke fun at himself as much as everything else – “What’s navarattan when it’s at home?”. I laughed like a loon at half the witty banter and adored the fact that Dark – and the author – clearly enjoyed this little story as a lighter piece and just rolled with it all.

Erik was a lovely contrast to this, slender, Vegan and denying his wolfish side. My only regret (and the reason I needed to deduct that half star) was because I really, really wish the author had been given enough space/word count to delve at least a little into why Erik felt the need to control his own restaurant and deny himself his wolf-half and go Vegan. Erik explains to Dark that he couldn’t handle killing other animals and eating meat despite his wolf, but Dark seemed to think there was something deeper in Erik’s past pressing this and that tiny plot point was left dangling and I don’t feel it was resolved fully. Everything else about this story was amazing – the sex glorious and passionate and instinctive, Erik and Dark both enjoying each other and unable to resist even before they came to know each other fully.

Readers looking for a blisteringly hot, super short and fun read with werewolves, delicious food, amazing scents and some laugh-out-loud funny moments should find this story and wonderful as I did. Highly Recommended.
