This author has a way with words and characters that draw you into her stories into the lives into the actions and it just pulls you in. She gives you angst she gives you some heartbreak brokenness rebuilding of lives and great trauma and she does it well. It's nice seeing her deal with people that are older seeing as my first introduction to her Work was with college age characters. I like that her characters are more relatable to how my life is now or at least close enough where I haven't forgotten. This is a great series they are stand alone reads with carryover characters which makes it nice because it's like coming home to family.

When the book started I loved it laughed so hard at the antics of the over 40 year old women and their flaws. It was hysterical and so on point. MeetiWhen the book started I loved it laughed so hard at the antics of the over 40 year old women and their flaws. It was hysterical and so on point. Meeting the hunky guy that makes everything, and I mean everything including all of you klutzy ways and word vomit just go into overdrive, yea I loved it. . . .until it just became too much. I finally just wanted to be done with the book. I mean how many things have to happen for this girl to believe in herself and move on. Both of these two have things they need to work out and mostly it’s a great book with loads of laughs and even some tender moments. The kids are great comic relief and so is the mom, but after a while I just got tired of the repetitive recovery of them going off on a tangent instead of talking. This is my first read by this author and while there were elements of the characters that got to me I want to read more from this author. I love reading stories of older characters so that is an awesome plus in my book.

Plenty of action and steam kept me riveted to my seat. She had gone into the marriage wearing rose tinted glasses and no clue who the man beside her truly was. He had left her to pursue his career and his pride kept him from reaching out when she needed him most. They both have made mistakes and now they have the chance to make things right. This is a fast paced read with plenty of intrigue and high energy. This is my first read by this author and I am glad I had the opportunity to try her out. I will definitly be back for more.

Some are twisted and dark other’s try to show them in a good light where loyalty and brotherhood is key. Let’s not forget the ones with rival gangs. Well this one is a little of them all. Each guy has a story and this one starts the series of standalone reads with a doozy. It’s not always easy to find your place in the world or know how to make a mark. She knew she wanted to be a doctor and did what she needed to do to get where she was even if it meant being the rebel. He had already lost so much and had barely survived. His heart was closed but he was healing in the only way he knew until he met her. The connection is there even without nurturing and feeding it but the brain wasn’t linking with the heart on this one. It’s a great read with plenty of action and a powder keg on the point of exploding and taking the city with it. Big decisions that impact lives will have to be made and maybe just maybe a fresh start for one not looking for it and a way to feed that rebel heart too. My first read by this author and it’s a great introduction, can’t wait to read more.

Great winter tale to catch up with the gang. Loads of fun and hot passion abound to keep warm of course. Great read and perfect addition to the series.

Having a friend by your side through thick and thin, your ride or die person is the best. That's what they have. After starting their friendship in the craziest of ways that's just what it is. Both of these ladies have some growing up to do and both of their lives in the romance area go as far from each other as can be imagined. They're survivors and kinda scary even when they don't try. I laughed hard reading this enjoying this side of an author who has ripped my heart out in her other reads and an author I have never experienced before but they make an awesome duo. I can't wait for more from these two authors and on this group, well for lack of a better term. They may have to do something about those boundaries fast if Zane has anything to say about it although he is a great sport and a stand up guy. But things are getting interesting especially with his bomb at the end of the book. Yup cliff-hanger ahead and it's a goody you have been warned.

Little did he know just how much his world. his perspective, his understanding would never be the same.
The author takes the time to give us background and understanding of the old life of the Loup Garou origins. We meet Tor who as a priest knew nothing outside of his world but thought he did. As his awareness grows of the outside world will he return to his solitary life as a priest or continue to travel the world in search for others of his kind. What will he think of the world that has evolved without him. Great story, suspense, world building and some troubles too.

That's all changed and he has cleaned up his act and is taking his sobriety one day at a time, working and minding his business. Everyday he sees her it is a good day. She has made up excuses when she needed to see him just to make a bad day better. He had no idea how important he had become in her life. I like Erin. She's spunky, in your face (at least with him), with a heart of gold, until it's time to defend those she loves and hold dear. It's a good read oh yeah and steamy too, when she finds a way to make him listen and stop running. I have to admit I love her punishment when he continues to put himself down (I was getting tired of it too). These two are just what the other needs and them finding it out is filled with pent up passion finally unleashed. It's a sweet story of two letting go of the past, forgiving themselves and others, releasing the bad and embracing their future. Wonderful addition to the series.

It's an emotional read so prepare yourself cos this author ain't playing fair. It's a great story well written with characters you can really get into.
