Banishment and shame has turned Sheikh Khalil al Bakir into a man determined to reclaim the crown of Kadar from his rival. Khalil’s campaign begins by kidnapping his enemy’s bride-to-be. She’s a means to an end, so why is he so inflamed at the thought of her in anyone’s bed but his own?

Queen Elena needs to marry quickly to save her monarchy, she doesn’t expect to be kidnapped by Sheikh Khalil al Bakir, who needs to stop her marriage so he can reclaim his rightful throne.

I was very amused by how easily Khalil kidnapped her, and then tricks her in to thinking he lives a very primitive existence. I enjoyed that Elena does attempt to escape and doesn’t just roll over and give up. It’s only because they’re in the middle of the desert that she doesn’t escape. Elena easily falls for the kindness Khalil shows her and after they get lost in the desert things get even more complicated.

I enjoyed Khalil. He’s a gruff alpha male and while he feels a bit bad that he’s ruined Elena’s plans, he goes out of his way to get her to realize that she doesn’t need a consort in order to rule her country. I love that he went out his way to build up her self-confidence.

These two together were very sexy, and the chemistry is off the charts. The author does a great job of bringing the desert nomad life alive on the page. I found myself imagining the heat and the sand.

This story had everything I’ve come to love in Sheikh stories, a brooding male, a strong but innocent female, and an exotic backdrop for it all. I highly recommend this for fans of Sheikh love stories.

Sometimes two just isn’t enough.

Noah Steele is a broken man. Though born a strong, confident Alpha, the torture and betrayal he experienced by order of his own father have left him a shell of the man he once was. Still gripped by the fear left in the wake of his trauma, he no longer trusts his instincts or his ability to lead. Shamed, he hides himself away, even from the mate he longs to claim as his own.

Dax Marshall needs some downtime. Between protecting the Pack in his role as Beta and leading teams to search for more of Alpha Steele’s facilities, his responsibilities are starting to overwhelm him. If only he could find the one person destined to soothe both himself and his wolf.

Between dominant wolves, power struggles are always an issue. Time and patience will be needed to make their mating work. Unfortunately, time is in short supply. New information has Dax, Noah and a team following a lead to a breeding facility—and much more. Among the prisoners, they find an abused young man who calls to them both in a way that neither of them understands.

While they scramble to adjust to fate’s curveball, more information comes to light showing just how far Alpha Steele is willing to go in his quest to rule the Packs. Will their new happiness withstand the madman’s plans or be destroyed by the malevolence of his ambition?

Our Omega is a great continuation of a series that has an interesting world, and I was happy to dive back in. It starts right after events in, Accepting the Alpha, and while it does have the elements that could make it a stand-alone, I recommend it being read in order.

Noah Steele has been through hell. He knows who his mate is but he’s been avoiding him to save the man from a broken mate. I think Noah’s trauma makes this seem reasonable to him, especially since he’s an Alpha wolf, used to being strong and the protector of his pack, but now that he’s healing and feels weak, and he doesn’t see himself as worthy.

Dax Marshall is a beta, a protector of the pack, and when he figures out for sure that Noah is his mate, he goes for it. I really liked Dax, he goes for what he wants and doesn’t let anyone stop him, not even his mate.

Then comes Landon, mate to both Dax and Noah, and takes them completely by surprise. I enjoyed watching them scramble to cope with finding the third man, who is destined to be theirs. I really enjoyed the way the author worked his introduction in and allows Noah and Dax to both have someone who needs them so strongly.

The author sets up the next book and I look forward to reading the next story in the series. I really enjoy this author’s world that is developing more with each book. I definitely recommend this one to fans of MM romance and sexy shifters that get a bit growly.

Determined to overcome the lingering self doubts her cheating ex left behind, Sara James scrapes up the courage to join Club 3 where her instant, powerful attraction to Trace Bowen, the head Dom, sends her running in the wrong direction.

From the moment he rescues Sara from the clutches of a coked-up Dom, Trace is enthralled. She s beautiful, brave, and poised on the edge of blossoming into the sub of his dreams. In the initial rush of enchantment, though, he omits a minor detail that causes a major problem.

Back in college, Trace was Kai Kalo-Haimani s first love until Kai s straight-laced family demanded he walk the line. Now Kai is back, heart in his hands, to ask for another chance. Even if it means accepting Sara as part of the package.

Despite her attraction to both men, Sara s old demons come roaring back, threatening to push her back inside her shell of insecurity. Unless Trace and Kai can convince her that not only is she enough for one man, she s more than enough for two.

Sara James finds Trace Bowen extremely attractive, but he’s definitely out of the safe range that she likes to live in. Kai, the sweet man who lives next door, is a much safer option, especially since he’s in Portland to find his lost lover.

Trace manages to sneak under Sara’s shields after he saves her from a dangerous situation in his BDSM club, and being so steady with her throughout it all. Trace works his way into her heart and life, and she’s a bit thrown because she’s also attracted to Kai. This is really evident when Kai’s lost lover is Trace himself.

Because of her past, Sara is not sure she’s good enough for one man, let alone two. This story has a satisfying ménage when the three finally get together. My one complaint with this story is that we spend so much time with Trace and Sara as a couple with Sara having a side attraction to Kai. We get to see from both Kai and Trace’s point of view their college love affair, but Kai being introduced as a third seemed a bit rushed. It does work, because Trace and Kai are already in love, and Sara and Kai are half in love, but I would have loved more time with them as a trio.

I can only hope the author revisits these characters. This is the third book in the Club series, and I had no problem following along and where the characters fit in. I really love when an author does such a great job setting up a series book as a stand-alone. I very much recommend this for fans of ménage where the men are just as in love with each other as the lady involved.

What if the one you wanted more than any other was the only one you couldn’t trust?

The Wraith Accords, Book 1

Make sure you don’t drink alcohol, take professional cialis nicotine or use caffeinated drinks before taking this oral jelly. WHY TO USE SILGRA? Silagra is a product which satisfies cheap tadalafil pills all the men around. According to texts of ayurveda drumsticks adversely affect quality and quantity of semen. canadian viagra prices There is no manipulation to the woman’s eggs in this treatment so it is actually not considered as the assisted reproductive order cialis australia technology. Two hundred years after the Tuatha de Danaan and Vampires formed a fragile alliance, the Wraith Accords are unraveling. Isabel Santiago is a leader in one of the most powerful of the vampire cabals, and she agrees to join the Fae court as a gesture of goodwill—and damage control.

While Aed mac Goll’s loyalty to Fae is absolute, he’s never supported the accords which gave the Vampires sanctuary and restored the Tuatha de’s link to humanity. The very idea he could desire an undead human is unthinkable, yet he’s drawn to Isabel’s dark beauty and fierce intelligence.

Despite their mutual mistrust, they soon find themselves lost in a dangerous game of lust and power. When the treaty shatters amid calls for Isabel’s head, Aed realizes their connection is more than physical. And to save it, they’ll have to unravel a mystery that’s been a thousand years in the making.

I love fantasy worlds, and this was a new and fun world that had enough myth and history to make it somewhat familiar. It has both the fantasy aspect of the Fae with the gritty paranormal aspect of vampires. I enjoyed this mash up of two strong mythos, especially since they were weaved together with expert care and attention to detail.

Isabel is a record keeper for the vampires, it’s her job to keep the history and she’s great at keeping her cool, so she’s the perfect candidate to be the ambassador to the Fae. She doesn’t expect to be attracted to one of them, certainly not the one tasked to protect her.

Aed is loyal to the Fae first and the throne second, but he finds himself putting Isabel before the throne even, with his intense attraction.

These two act on their attraction quickly and it works for the story. I loved their chemistry and the creativity used in the scenes. They then have to work together to unravel secrets within the Fae, and trust each other, and trust doesn’t come easily to two sworn enemies.

I really hope this is a series, because I love the world the author has built here. I highly recommend this story and this world, I will be following this author.

How far is Cody willing to go to keep his dragon?

Kirit is lonely and he’s sick of coming home from the king’s assignments to a cold, empty cave. After searching for years for a mate, Kirit decides it’s time to try a new approach. Against the advice of all his friends, he heads for the human side of the world. There he finds Cody, and the man is everything he could ever want. It takes a little bit of persuasion, but he manages to talk Cody into coming back with him to Faerie.

Within a week of arriving, Cody is beginning to rethink his impulsive decision. He’s trekked across more terrain than he would care to remember, been summoned to meet a king, and flown on a dragon—not an experience he’s willing to repeat anytime soon. Kirit’s growly possessiveness is starting to wear on his nerves, and the unexpected hostility he encounters at the palace is almost enough to make him give up.
NETTLE (Urtica spp.) At the top of my list of beverages I never drink are sodas, including diet sodas, viagra prescription australia http://cute-n-tiny.com/tag/dog/page/13/ ice tea drinks, ice coffee drinks, and booster beverages like Ensure and Boost. Nowadays, it is found in all age levitra pharmacy purchase groups. This is because the efficiency discount generic levitra of the medicine is reduced in order to achieve healthy erections. It levitra generika stimulates nucleic and protein metabolism to boost energy naturally in your body.
But Cody is stubborn. He may not be willing to admit it out loud, but Kirit has got under his skin. He may even, shockingly enough, love the big guy.

Now Cody has to decide what he’s willing to do to keep the man of his dreams.

Cody is human, and has no idea that dragons or the Fae exist, but he does know that he’s really into Kirit. I loved Kirit, he was so ready for a mate, and he just knew he’d find one in the human world.

He finds Cody pretty quickly, he doesn’t understand a lot of human concepts, so he doesn’t really understand what Cody does for a living, or that not every human jumps in bed with someone right away.

Cody is just happy to be with someone who really seems to like him and care, he’s not a stranger to the fact that there is more in the world, although it’s never been confirmed, this helps him take to Kirit’s other nature easily. He’s not necessarily ready for Kirit’s world but because of his love for Kirit he goes for it.

Things are go a bit awry, some helpful people meddle in their love life with good intentions and it does help their relationship. I really love these two and the secondary characters. They add humor and color to the story and world.

I will be watching this series, and look forward to more books.
