I've sort of been reading this series willy nilly because I read book nine first and then in order from book two. I realized after a while that I never actually read book one. Truthfully, I got lucky because many books in the series build on the one before it. But back to this one- It is a fa...
Pretty good. The detective angle has been done quite often but I liked the fireman one. Seriously over-dramatic regarding Lonnie and his stalkerish behavior but I enjoyed seeing Jake and Lorna's acceptance of their father despite Rhonda's narrow-mindedness. It was quite cute. I also found Carl an...
Loved the dynamic between Lark and Declan. I do wish we'd gotten to see, instead of just be told dispassionately, about Lark's past. It would have made him all the richer a character. Declan, as the Alpha, is commanding. Truth be told I wanted to see him command-eer himself some restraints and la...
This is the third installment to the series, Wolves of Stone Ridge. This story continues with the focus on the doctor that was brought in for help, Gordon. Gordon is very secretive about his animal. Though, if you look at the cover it isn't much of a secret. Gordon isn't a skinny mini or trim ...
I liked this book a lot. It wasn't perfect, not even close, but it was refreshingly upbeat, funny and enjoyable. I only have one complaint. Jared leaving his whole life for Carson. The moving I could get behind because relationships where the couple is apart most of the time simply don't work for...
Okay, this was a purchase based predominantly on curiosity. I wanted to read a romance between a bunny shifter and a vampire. This was a new to me author and this was the ninth book in the series, but I just took a leap of faith. And I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the author's style. I wi...
Book four in the series picks up right where book three left off pursuing the disappearance of Grady's detective partner. This is Dr. Ailean Carmichael's story and it was hilarious to discover that the crusty doctor's newly discovered mate was human. As with the rest of the series, it is a fast...
This book was probably the simplest in terms of plot but I still enjoyed it. I liked that Dagus had a personality and wasn't a pushover. Even though these guys hook up at lightening speed, I like that Brad wanted to get to know Dagus before he claimed him and I enjoyed their date.Gotta say that t...
3.5 starsI really, really, really wanted to give this book a higher rating, but the end of the book just sort of... stopped. Not ended. Just stopped. I still really liked it though, thus the reason for the 4/3.5 star rating, but I felt like the book was building up to something and then it just s...
I enjoyed this more the second time I read it than the first. I liked the twist/deception/secret of Chris is a man pretending to be a woman (on a dare) and he really tries not to get involved but finds himself hopelessly attracted. It's also more slow going than some of the rest of the series and...
It was okay. Nothing really unique, but really is with these MM shifter stories what is unique anymore? Heh. I did like how Eli was a snake shifter as they're uncommon in these types of stories. I also liked that it was inter-racial. For some reason I don't see as many of those as there should be...
I was hoping she'd do Frankie's story! Of course I was upset that he was hurt by his mate though. I really liked the explanation of Dobs's fear. It seemed real and palpable. My only qualm was his sudden acceptance and change in attitude. It was just too fast. I think they needed a few more incide...
This is about the 8th time I've read this so I should review it. As a spin-off of Wolves if Stone Ridge we get to follow Maelgwn as he woos his mate Bobby Truman.Maelgwn is a gargoyle who came to Stone Ridge to help Tible & Gus of Declan's pack. While there he catches the scent of his mate. Mael...
We all have our 'guilty pleasure' buys like chocolate or shoes. One of mine is Charlie Richards' books. I came across her stories when I was looking for something enjoyably light with a smidge of action that would balance all the dark angsty drama in my parnanormal romance reading and these boo...
I like this series, it's a quick read, in this case a bit too quick. Vail has always led his shifter gang to think he was just a love em and leave em kind of guy, but that wasn't quite the case, his family is cursed, so that any mate will die within a year, so he has sworn never to tie himself to...
3.75 starsThe book and story was pretty good! Raven the former scientist team lackey and intel gatherer finds his mate who happens to be held in the facility. Liam is an arctic fox shifter who seems a little timid. But his personality compliments Ravens shoot first ask questions later mentality...
SPOILER....I have issues with this book. After almost being gang raped Val takes Bricew to a motel and proceeds to seduce him and wants to have sex with him?! Why wasn't he more concerned that his mate was almost brutally raped in a dirty bathroom? I think my first priority would be to help him o...
The day Jason Truollo was backhanded by his homophobic stepfather the college student knew it was time to leave. His only option is a bus ride to the home of his uncle Raul Braga in Stone Mountain.Arriving at his uncle’s place Jason is more than astounded to find Raul in a committed relationship ...
Another quick read here, straightforward story, I think maybe I was a bit biased because I felt like really after Trace being not uncomfortable as a couple with Patrick and also seeing his friend Vincent settling down, he was ready to settle himself and Laramie happened along at the right time in...
I have to say I’m totally in love with this cover! Sigh! I’ve read a few books by Charlie Richards and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. I like the way the author really seems to understand her characters and I love the sizzling chemistry between them. Her writing is smooth and easy and once I star...
In his head, he knew Einan was right, but that didn’t mean he had to like it. “Yeah, you’re right. We still have a relationship to figure out,” he mused. Maybe he shouldn’t have come across quite so gung-ho to have kids. Maybe Einan didn’t even want any and was just trying to appease him. &...
Of course, now that he was beginning to understand the slender man, he couldn’t show his impatience. He’d never been good at waiting for things, but even he—a tactically challenged jock—knew he’d have to figure out some kind of strategy for getting into this skittish man’s pants. It d...
Vail’s voice came through Haben’s phone. Though it sounded a bit disjointed through the speaker phone, Haben knew the exasperation in Vail’s tone wasn’t imagined. Haben glanced up and exchanged a look with Terence. He knew the lion shifter was thinking the same thing. Vail...
He tried to keep his breathing even, hoping that with each breath, his life would start to make sense. It didn’t work. Dropping his bag on the ground, Raul rubbed his hands over his face, then buried them in his hair. He massaged his temples, trying to get his shit together. They were about to fa...
She’d loaded the clip of two creatures fighting on YouTube under a heavily encrypted IP address to hide her identity. She’d spent the next three days pouring over the maps of the oil-drilling area until she figured out a way to stop preparations for good.The dark spots she’d noticed nearly two we...
“H-How?” He frowned, trying to process not only everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours, but the fact that his brother was standing just inside the foyer, watching him uncertainly. “How do you know my brother? I thought you weren’t from around here.” “I’...
He knew it was cowardly to sneak out while the demon slept, but he couldn't stand the thought of Santos waking and telling him to leave. If his ass hadn't clenched almost painfully when he'd pulled on his cargo shorts, not to mention the pleasant aches in all the right places, he'd have been sure...
The love and support of Devin Nilsson helped Ewyn reclaim his self-esteem. Now his fragile self-confidence is tested when his brother, the Calderone mob boss, vanishes, Ewyn becomes head of the family, and his pregnant niece and her sister die in a purported accident. The baby survives and Ewyn b...
