Rather clichéd characters but the story drew me in. There are shifters, fae, wolves, angels being bedeviled by an evil sorcerer and his minions. The HRather clichéd characters but the story drew me in. There are shifters, fae, wolves, angels being bedeviled by an evil sorcerer and his minions. The H is exSEAL shifter who had some psychic ability before he was bitten. The human h is sweet once he takes her as a mate, she gains skills too. Lots of tropes but still a good read....more
It was OK, I was disappointed with the H in this novella. He's the son of a strong Alpha but clearly did not inherit his father's strength. The sometiIt was OK, I was disappointed with the H in this novella. He's the son of a strong Alpha but clearly did not inherit his father's strength. The sometimes feral h is thought to be 'broken' after an road accident, together they save each other. I did like how it linked the shifter towns, but that's it. ...more
It was good, but not sure I liked the h. The alien H smells her blood and that's it, she's his. He takes her off world. She fights him, but he is too It was good, but not sure I liked the h. The alien H smells her blood and that's it, she's his. He takes her off world. She fights him, but he is too strong. His race has no women, H is almost immortal, desperate for h. They bond, and he changes h so she is part alien. His mad King wants her, so the fight is on. It is HEA sort of, but story will continue.......more

The H is Dom, owns BDSM club, and after they become a couple, no discussion about him servicing other submissives, or others at the club. It would have added another dimension to this story. Just felt underdone...more

The H was an incomplete person to me and the h was took offence at every slight. Fortunately they persist and overcome some dangerous situations. The children didn't make things easy for them. Once they had more time together, their relationship improved. Such a prickly couple, overwrought story and for me the pacing wasn't right. ...more

Lots of other characters including a baddie who was really just misunderstood. Overall Ok, not nearly as pleasing to me as the others in this series. ...more

The deal is he must take the man's daughter as his wife. She's tiny, thought to be daft but is actually deaf and ashamed. She loves the h as much as he loves her, so it's a sweet HEA. It's an OTT, old fashioned bodice ripper story, great fun....more

The story pushes boundaries of non-consensual situations. The team of long term friends and colleagues focus on the h, and make an intervention coordinated by the H. They believe they are releasing her from her overly structured life. The H is in love with her, and so that makes it all OK. Sort of….I liked it more than I should. Hey it's fiction. ...more

But her issues are4.5 stars - I liked this much more on my 2nd read. The h lives a constrained life yet when the H sees her, he thinks she's perfect. But her issues are real, she's very uncomfortable with him even as she falls in love with him, and finds she is able to stretch beyond her old habits. I liked both of them; they were real and flawed people. A few plot devices didn't quite fit with me but I liked this book a lot. ...more
