REVIEW!!! Wolf Witch (Wolf Born #2) by N. Gosney






BUY NOW 



WOLF WITCH by N.GOSNEY
Wow! What to say about Wolf Witch? I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Wolf Born and really enjoyed the story.  When a chance came up for me to review Wolf Witch, I jumped at it. As far as I was concerned, there was no way it would be as good or better than Wolf Born. The best I was hoping for was as good. Well, Natalie Gosney proved me wrong, it WAS better, she has outdone herself. I was glad I had the weekend all to myself to read it as I was unable to put the book down I finished it in one day.
This story picks up on Kyle and Carly’s story, we get more from our lovers and follow their story, travelling with them as they look for answers. Natalie steps up the horror content in this story and had me trying to shut my eyes so I didn’t have to see what was happening. This is hard when the horror is more in what you see in the words and shutting your eyes doesn’t stop this happening.  There were parts that I found obvious as to what was happening but that didn’t take from the story as it was well balanced with twists that I didn’t see.
With all the drama and mayhem going on in the story, we are also hit with heartbreak to balance out the adrenaline rushing through our system. The tissues did get a work out. Devon again makes an appearance you would have thought he would have learnt his lesson from the last book. Nope, he’s back causing problems and death is sure to follow where he goes.

I’m not wanting to write any more in case I spoil the story for other potential readers. I will say YES put this on your to read list. The Wolf series from Natalie Gosney is definitely worth reading. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough  and am waiting with baited breath for Wolf Blade and Wolf Bane.

 photo Pemas-Storm.jpg


Synopsis:  Pema Rowan is the first born of the mysterious and powerful triplets whom prophesy has declared would unite in power and change the face of the Tehrex Realm forever, yet Pema and her sisters have eschewed their role in the world of magic in order to run their business. Pema’s life is turned upside-down when the blessings of Fated Mates returns to the realm. It is further complicated when a mysterious and gorgeous ursine shifter, Ronan, enters her life. Pema doesn’t want to be attracted to Ronan, especially since he once belonged to her archenemy. Pema faces danger left and right as she struggles with what her body wants and her mind refuses. As the High Priestess, Cele, seeks to garner the power of the triplets, Pema must choose between the safety of those she loves, or giving into her darkest desires.


Ronan Blackwell has come to Seattle with the female who has helped him find peace and solace after centuries of living with grief and isolation. When she ends their relationship, he is determined to win her back, only to have everything he has ever believed in challenged by the sexy little witch, Pema. As his emotions force him to choose between the only love he has ever known, and a passion that promises to tear him apart, he discovers that not everything is as it seems. Will the animal inside him win and show Pema the true meaning of life on the wild side, or will he be torn apart by the mysterious forces set against them?

Excerpt from Pema’s Storm by Brenda Trim and Tami Julka:

Pema nodded her agreement as she ran the duster over the shelf and candles. “That’s the problem with prophecies. They are vague, confusing—” She stopped talking when the tinkling of the wind chimes above the front door signaled they had a customer.
A cool breeze blew through the room, chilling the air. She twisted around to see the most stunning male walk through the door. He was easily six feet tall and had thick, brown hair that fell in soft curls around his ruggedly handsome face. He had a strong, square jaw that she immediately imagined running her tongue over. His warm, brown eyes invited her to share her secrets, and suddenly it wasn’t so chilly anymore.
Her gaze traveled over him and she noticed that his jeans were tight in all the right places, and she could easily make out his firmly muscled legs. He took her breath away and she desperately wanted him.
            Her sex tightened with need, and arousal flooded her panties as she was overcome with an uncontrollable lust for this stranger and couldn’t focus on anything but getting him into the office for a quick tryst. She became light-headed when a feathering sensation in her chest set her heart racing. She wondered what was wrong with her. She was no blushing virgin, but she had never responded like this when looking at a male.
Reaching up to wipe the sweat from her brow, she lost her hold on the ladder. As she felt air rush past her, she never once thought to utter a spell. She blamed it on the fact that her brain malfunctioned from hormone overload. Rather than landing in an ungainly heap on the floor, she was caught by big, strong arms and an electrical current raced across her skin the moment they touched. She wanted to climb to the top of the ladder to have this male catch her again. Then again, that would mean him putting her down and she had no desire for that to happen.
“Are you okay?” His voice was gruff, and she loved it. The sound sent liquid heat spreading from her abdomen to her core and had her melting into his body.
            As much as she didn’t want to, she needed to put space between them or she was going to lose control. She pushed against his broad shoulders for him to let her go. She didn’t fight it too hard when he refused to release her. “I’m okay. Nice catch, by the way. I’m not usually caught off-guard like that.”
She should tell him to let her go. Her lips parted to say the words, but they were trapped in her throat. She breathed in his earthy, pine scent and a new flood of heat traveled through her. She needed to gather her senses, and added more force to her shove until he finally set her down. Her body slid down the hard length of him and she took a couple steps back before acting on impulse to rub against him like a cat in heat.
            “I didn’t mean to startle you. Are you one of the Rowan sisters?” he asked, holding out his hand. Did he crave contact with her as much as she did him? It seemed like an eternity to Pema since he had touched her, and she would die if he didn’t touch her again. Okaaay, she was losing her mind and she needed to stop this behavior.
            Her brain and hormones weren’t on speaking terms, and she eagerly grabbed his hand and held it tightly. “Yes, I’m Pema and this is my sister, Suvi,” she nodded her head in the direction of her sister, keeping hold of his hand. “And you are?”
            “My name is Ronan Blackwell,” the hunk said, keeping intense gaze into her eyes.
“How can we help you, Ronan?” Suvi asked, awakening Pema from her daydreams of ravishing his body. Realizing how odd it must seem to be holding onto his hand, she pulled from his firm grip and immediately felt a loss. She turned around to face the counter, needing to break eye contact with him.

About the Authors:

Neither Brenda nor Tami grew up writing stories or dreaming of one day being authors but that changed when they shared a joint dream of creating a world to bring to life the stories of a group of dangerously handsome supernaturals.

Brenda is a Southern California girl who grew up in chaos, having ten siblings.  Her mother is a brave, courageous woman who gave birth to a small village of children and has successfully battled advanced stage breast cancer for almost two years.  Her parents did something right and taught Brenda how to persevere and accomplish whatever she set her mind to.  Whether that was completing her bachelors and Masters degrees, or writing books, she is always up for a challenge.

Brenda survived the brutal murder of her first husband, John DeCaprio, at the hands of the children he was counseling to go on and help children in similar situations.  Brenda remarried years later and now lives with her husband and their three fun-loving, energetic children.  She loves running, reading, cooking, and Monster Energy drinks.  And, Tami’s margaritas!

Tami is a southern girl, born and raised in Georgia. She is married and has two boys, so needless to say, she is surrounded by testosterone. We are trying to bottle Tami’s strength and positive outlook on life.  It has helped her beat breast cancer and she is a proud three-year survivor. She loves reading paranormal romances, running at the lake near her home, watching college football (Go Dawgs!!!), and is always in search of the next best margarita.

Their life journeys led them both to Texas and one another.  They fast became best friends and can always be found together.  Whether it’s lounging by the pool or writing steamy love scenes, they are frequently seen pissing themselves from laughter.  It’s embarrassing, really.  But that’s ok, life is good!

BOOK BLAST!!!! Seal The Deal (Alpha Seals #1) by Makenna Jameison

 photo SEAL-the-Deal-Blast-Banner.jpg


Title:  SEAL the Deal
Series:  Alpha SEALs #1
Author:   Makenna Jameison
Published:  July 14th, 2015
Genre:  Romantic Suspense
Content Warning:  Explicit sexual material
Recommended Age:  18+

Blurb  
She needs his protection almost as much as she needs his heart…
Rebecca Mayes has already endured more than her fair share of tragedy. After her husband was killed in a horrific car crash, she’d do anything to shield herself from more heartache. A highly sought after attorney, Rebecca’s success in the courtroom has not come without costs. The disgruntled ex-husband of a client is seeking revenge on the one he blames for his troubles—and his sights are set on Rebecca. While she remains blissfully unaware, he’s stalking her, and getting closer every day.
Navy SEAL Patrick “Ice” Foster vowed to never be in a relationship again after watching his ex-wife slowly die of cancer. That type of anguish was more than he could handle in one lifetime, and there’s no way anyone can change his mind.
Despite their determination never to fall in love again, Rebecca and Patrick can’t deny the connection between them. But when danger lurks around every corner, she knows there’s only one man she can trust to protect both her and her daughter. But who will protect her from a broken heart?
SEAL the Deal, a stand-alone novel, is book one in the new series, Alpha SEALs.


Excerpt from SEAL the Deal by Makenna Jameison:

“And what keeps you up at night?” he asked huskily, watching her blush again at the sexual undertones of his question. “Work,” she finally replied, recovering, as she met his blue gaze. He grinned at her, trying to put her more at ease. “You’re too easy to tease,” he finally admitted. It wasn’t like him to want to put anyone at ease, but something about this woman had him feeling possessive and protective at the same time. Not to mention incredibly, uncomfortably, aroused. “It’s not nice to tease people,” Abby said innocently, and Rebecca and Patrick both burst into laughter. “You’re not having any ice cream either,” Rebecca pointed out. He shrugged, not really caring to explain that he was on a strict training regimen. “So Rebecca,” he said, enjoying the way the sound of her name felt on his lips, “do you and Abby frequent the playground often?” “Yes!” Abby shouted. Rebecca smiled at her daughter and looked back to him. “It’s pretty much our Sunday afternoon tradition when the weather is good.” He considered that, wanting to see her again without knowing entirely why. “Maybe Logan and I will see you here next weekend?” “I’d like that.” He stared at her a moment longer then he should have and then stood. “Come on, buddy, let’s get going.” Logan jumped to his feet, and Patrick rested his hand on his son’s shoulder before meeting Rebecca’s eyes. “Stay safe,” he said, before turning to leave. He could feel her eyes watching him as they walked out the front door, and it took absolutely all of his strength not to look back.

Excerpt

“No, no, no,” Jack cut in. “You need to get her engine fired up. Make her panties wet. You have to be forceful, take control. They eat up that shit.”

Martin shook his head. “No. I’m telling you, there are only two ways to get a girl in your bed at a place like this. Shakespeare or poetry.”

“Shakespeare?” I asked. “Don’t you think that’s a little cheesy?”

“Not at all,” Martin replied. “Just walk up to her and say ‘but soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!’”

“And then add,” Jack insisted, “the sun isn’t the only thing around here that rises.” He wiggled his eyebrows.

Why was I even considering listening to them? It seemed that the guy who was about to become a priest had the best advice.

“Shakespeare? Really?” I wasn’t comfortable with it, but with the alcohol and one glance at the blonde that had just walked in, I felt my inhibitions fade away. Maybe the guys knew more about this kind of thing than me. Although judging from their track record in school, I had my doubts. I didn’t remember the last time any of them had a girlfriend.


Fuck it.


Why not? You only live once. Why shouldn’t I have tried to take advantage of the situation? Jack was right, as painful as it was for me to admit. By my calculations, ninety-three percent of the women at the bar were there for the convention. My chances of scoring one who knew something about Shakes were pretty good.

I slammed back the rest of my drink and pulled a wad of courage from my left nut.

I can do this.

None of the guys looked convinced. Duncan gave a lopsided smile, Martin shoved his earbud back in his ear, and Jack sat cross-legged, calmly folding his hands in his lap. I really hoped they wouldn’t watch me; it was going to be hard enough as it was, let alone while I had an audience.

I drew two deep breaths and stood. The blonde at the bar sat alone, sipping her drink, and I took several confident strides toward her as I tried to piece together what I was going to say.

“Hi,” I whispered.

But the music was too loud, and she couldn’t hear me.

So I tried again.

“Hi,” I shouted, causing her to flinch and dribble some of her drink down her chin.

Smooth, asshole.

“It’s loud in here!” I said, without as much force that time.

She smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear. I shoved my hands in my pockets and tried to remember the line I was supposed to use.

But it wasn’t coming. We remained smiling at each other until the moment became strange.


Then uncomfortable.


And then it verged on painful.


What was I going to say? Did we decide I was going to introduce myself? Or was it poetry?

Shakespeare!

“But soft, what…light through yonder window breaks,” I began, trying not to stutter.

Her eyes widened, and I knew I had her attention, but as my palms grew clammy and my chest hollowed, I realized that the Juliet line wouldn’t work.

Unless her name was Juliet. Which was unlikely.

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. That’s not going to work! Dammit! I need something else! It’s too late! I have to finish the damn quote!

I swallowed, and spat out the first thing my mind could make sense of.

“My dick rises in the east.”



                      Review

Fair Play
I really enjoyed Amalie's Word Play and looked forward to the prequel novella at the end of Fair Play. It gives a really nice insight into Michael and Lauren's first meeting. If you haven't read Word Play yet, then it's probably a good idea to read Fair Play first. It's not imperative, but introduces you to the characters you'll come across. 
I loved how Mike tries to prove that romance novels are all cliches. Without giving too much away, I can't say much more. The humour is great, the mishaps are great and if i hadn't read Word Play first, I would've been shitty at the ending! 
I laughed hard, and not just at these little gems here where he takes her horseriding as an example of the stereotyped cliche:
"I, on the other hand, was given a smaller black and white horse that looked like it was nearing retirement and had a bad binge with vodka and two hookers the night before."
The end of this had me snorting, but you need the lead up first:
"Riding a horse was definitely something one had to get used to. I'd never read a Western, but the guys in the movies made that shit look easy. Maybe I was doing it wrong. Or perhaps I should've worn a tighter pair of underwear, because my boys slapped against the saddle with every trot."
And perhaps I have a warped sense of humour, but that made my night!
Enjoy!

Big Balls
This is the first in the collection. Softball player falls for a guy, despite promising herself to never do that. Especially during the game season. Oops!
I have some quotes that made me laugh. 
"Whatever his intentions, I was two minutes away from dry-humping my cup holder."
Jack (Jacqueline) prides herself on being not girly, so when Amalie threw this one in--"It was official: I'd turned into a chick."--I couldn't help but laugh aloud. 
These weren't the only chuckle-worthy lines, but rather the ones I remembered to highlight!

Debating Number Ten

Young man, just turned eighteen, has had his sights set on seducing his teacher for the past three years. His sexual experience has been growing, and it's all been for her until a new student throws him off balance. 
This is a good read. It was actually kind of enjoyable to watch a man-whore be brought down a peg or two. When he finally realises the way he's treated the nine girls he's slept with was cruel, it's because he gets a taste of his own medicine. 
He also experiences what it should be like to connect with someone else. 

Surrender to Innocence
Mother of an eighteen-year-old gets back on the horse after ten years of nothing. His best friend seduces her... The trepidation and disasters preceding the short-lived affair are kind of funny though, even if it is a hang-your-head-and-chuckle-sadly way. I did like her friend from high school, Mona (or MoanAhh!)

Synopsis (HOT SEAL)

Sex with the ex… It shouldn’t be this good the second time around.

Navy SEAL Dane “Viking” Erikson has sworn off women—or at least he’s sworn off one woman: DEA Agent Ivy McGill. His ex-wife.

But when they’re forced to work together on a critical military mission, Dane can’t help but notice how the one woman he shouldn’t want is the only one he can’t stop thinking about.

Ivy knows what it’s like to fall for a SEAL’s hard muscles and killer smile—and she knows what it’s like when everything falls apart. So why is she naked against a wall and begging Dane for more?


Review (HOT SEAL


I like action plots. That means something is going on besides the hot sex with well-built guys. The HOT series consistently delivers on all three fronts: non-stop action, sex scenes that can steam the wallpaper, and hunky guys with skills both in and out of the bedroom [and any other location that appeals.] The current entry, HOT Seal, does not disappoint – it is definitely romantic suspense at its best.

Once upon a time SEAL Dane, the hero, and DEA Agent Ivy, the heroine, were married. It didn’t work out. Two tough people working even tougher jobs – and neither was willing to compromise. And now they’re brought back together by those very same jobs. But they can handle it. It’s a mission, just business. Yeah, like that’s going to work…

The point of view alternates between Dane and Ivy and their likenesses and differences become very obvious. Both of them are hard, strong-minded people committed to doing what they see as right. They are both protectors to the core. Neither of them is much of a communicator but Ivy is especially locked up. However their chemistry, both old and new, brings them steadily closer together.

FYI:  This is a novella rather than a novel. This could be read as a standalone but honestly? I always recommend reading the series. Each story is complete but there is a continuing series arc. Each story incorporates characters you know and love from previous books – just like this one does. NOTE: for those following the series YES this is number nine and it is being released before number eight, Hot and Bothered. That is because it is appearing in the anthology SEALs of Summer 2: A Military Romance Superbundle. But don’t worry, it contains no spoilers for number eight. (There are plans to release it as a standalone later this year.)
