I enjoyed "Mine to Hold", but it's not quite a four-star read for me because I felt that it ended very much on a HFN note with what I'd consider a very minor cliffhanger. There is a slight spoiler to follow at the very end for those who nee...
3½ Stars“Operation Phoenix” is an interesting story that deals with Lieutenant Trinity West and Commander Dax Rossi. They have known each other for many years. But after the death of Trinity's brother (Travis) ten years earlier things had greatly c...
5 StarsThis had me floundering a bit in the beginning so I had to refresh the story line in my head. It is book 11 in a series, and you can't just drop in, at least in my opinion. I have totally enjoyed this series and this book answered some ques...
4½ StarsWhile the Kindred have historically traveled the stars looking for mates, there is a branch of Kindred that chose poorly and are now going extinct. The Jor'gen are giants and finding a female is becoming life or death. Bram starts dream sha...
4½ StarsThis book has been hinted at for quite a while and I'm so glad to finally read it. With the author's usual flair, I'm drawn into the fantasy of Kindred warriors who revere their women and defend them from all danger. The danger hasn't chang...
4½ Stars"Escaping Fate" is part of a deftly woven sci-fi epic. The characters are complex and multidimensional. The world building is incredible. The meshing of romance and sci-fi is done with skill. Slavery is the ever present backdrop to this unf...
4½ Stars"Raising Amalia" is the beginning of epic journey and a prequel to "Escaping Fate", the first book in the Veredian Chronicles. Sevina is forced to mate with another slave as part of a psi breeding program. Her chosen male is also her true m...

4½ StarsWhile Kyron is indeed confined in a cell, what really keeps him prisoner is his own morals and code of ethics. He could free himself easily if he used the gift the goddess gave his kind, but he doesn't. His restraint costs him but it also r...
4½ Stars"Dawn" is fast, hot, and fun in all the good ways. It mostly stands alone. I think this series would be best if read in order so the reader has a better idea of what came before, who the Sentries are, and what they do, but it's not strictly...
3½ StarsOnce again Evangeline Anderson has written a book that entertain as well as educates. I loved that the relationship between Braxx and Molly was born of emotions and chemistry, not looks. Since Molly is blind, it frees Braxx from his insecur...
4½ StarsIn "Terran" Cara Bristol takes us back to the planet of Parseon with it's alphas and betas. It's a very male dominated world where women are the lowest of the low. But some men and women are trying to change that. In this second installment...
4 StarsAJ Llewellyn and DJ Manly come together to make one great vampire story. It was hot and steamy, and I loved it. The characters jumped off the page and into my room and I almost thought they would reach out and touch me. I would love to...
5 StarsYonnie Six is not a good place for a man to be, and Thorn knows this going in. It's his mission. He's prepared for torture but not Neh'sa. She dismantles him with consideration and gentleness while plugging into his deeply hidden need for s...
4½ StarsThis was a super unique second chance story set in a futuristic type sci fi world. Ivo and Mack were lovers when they were young and then a tragic incident happens. It's years later and we find Ivo has no memory of his past. A series of eve...
4 StarsI love the Coletti series and devour them immediately upon receipt. This was no exception but I must admit I struggled with the tentacle issue. I liked Tihar in "Vexing Voss" and there was some foreshadowing in that book. Once I kind of era...
4½ Stars“Between a Rock & a Hard Place” exceeded all my expectations and more. I like Sci-Fi romances a lot and this being a MM Sci-Fi romance made it even better. Genesis and Rock were both alpha males to the extreme and suited each other from the...
4½ Stars“Breeder” is the first in a new science fiction romance series. Its set in the future on the far flung planet of Parseon. Earthlings aka Terrans are in contact with the locals and have set-up a market to test the waters when it comes to com...

4½ Stars"Sabotaged Desires" started off with a bang but sadly didn't go far enough. The premise is fascinating but I felt the book was only a small part of a much larger story. The characters are intriguing but the constant sexual encounters disrup...
3½ StarsThere is a new nemesis gunning for the destruction of all life now that things have settled down for the Kindred and the humans who love them. This villain is targeting the human population of the tasty planet called Earth. All villains sta...
4½ StarsI thought I was getting an action packed three way romance. Though the romance did happen at the end it was the getting there that was the problem. The plot line would have been better if it wasn't so slow moving in the getting to the three...
2½ StarsThe bad guy isn’t necessarily always so obvious. On a journey to her intended groom, sight unseen, Krisa has been bought and paid for since she was twelve years old. When a crash strands her on Planet X with a prisoner named Teague, an adve...
4 StarsThis story line never gets old. The author has once again managed to snare my attention immediately and to not let go until I've finished the book. I've been curious about Terex (as I am sure all fans have been) since he was first introduce...
4½ StarsWell we knew Rylee was getting her own story after she was accidentally exposed to the La-ti-zal virus. And we met her intended mates Drace and Lucian as well. Now we get to see how they interact together and fall in love, as the Goddess in...
4½ StarsThe future is bleak for Yakira after the aliens invade. She lived through an experience most wouldn’t want to even imagine and is stronger for it. As a girl she encounters Wulf, a dreaded Coletti and finds him to not be as terrible as one m...
4 StarsThis series has been very enjoyable and I’m sad to see the trio of women’s stories coming to an end. Our hero this time is more traditional in his appearance except for his chameleon abilities and our heroine is not the type to jump into an...
4½ StarsEmily is captured by Commander Rodar and brought to his space ship. She has always dreamed about going to outer space and of her dream lover. Rodar believes Emily is his mate. This short book is about dreams coming true and one hot alien lo...
3½ StarsSweet, short read, if a bit too fluffy. I liked Samantha and Petr well enough, but it seemed the usual sort of insta-love, fated attraction story, with a vague nod towards an external problem that gets solved surprisingly easy. I was intrig...
3 StarsHallelujah! Finally a hero who isn't drop dead gorgeous. Strange attitude perhaps, but it's refreshing to read about an average alien, if not downright scary, finding his true love and her only seeing his inner beauty. I was drawn to Grav i...
4 StarsI love a good sci fi romance, so I was looking forward to getting my teeth into this book. It is understandable that a Captain couldn’t fraternize or worse with his crew members and still command respect. What I didn’t like about Craig’s re...
3½ StarsUnassuming plus size gal Zoe beats out supermodels to be the first woman kidnapped from earth to be sold to the highest bidder. What an honor! Yeah, not so much. Zoe is to be sold to an alien who wants to make her an exhibit in his zoo, and...
4½ StarsHow could there NOT be some laugh out loud moments in this book? An interesting spin for the series and as always the author’s creativity and world building blow me away. Frankie is a strong woman who takes care of herself, and doesn’t let...
4½ StarsSo this was one of my most anticipated books of the year. I downloaded it the second it became available and stayed up way too late reading that first night. I was a little worried because sometimes when I hype the stuff up in my head it do...
5 StarsTwo has gone too far this time! This series just keeps amazing me and I don't see an ending in sight. I remember meeting Rone and Kate and being intrigued by the Wulven Kindred and this book satisfied my curiosity in that regard. As per the...
4½ StarsAdira’s Mate starts off with a bang as Adira meets Fin when he points a gun at her head. They are from different planets--Adira is Imarian and Fin Craegin with no love lost between the two races. Fin is escaping a medical facility as Adira...
3½ StarsI always ask myself how the author can keep writing this series and each book be that good, yet she does it every time. This is book 15 and I recommend you start at the beginning, as there is a background story that resides in each book. Yo...
4½ StarsOh, I so enjoyed my reunion with Kaylee and Talree. Kaylee is expecting and has the wonderful personality that goes with it. She's cranky, tired and so ready for this to be over with. Stress should be avoided late in pregnancy, but apparent...
4 StarsJessica E. Subject transports readers to a delightful new world of Minjet in this stunning Sci-Fi short. Princess Ro'sa is a wonderful leading lady, it was easy to feel a connection to her even though we had absolutely nothing in common. He...
4 StarsThe story arc continues and it just keeps getting deeper. The Kindred and their more than vague deity the Goddess are still fighting the good fight against evil, and more specifically Two from previous books. Two is a malicious little sh*t...
4 StarsThe Kindred series picks up right where it left off, thank goodness. Stavros showed himself to be a good guy in the last book even though he is cursed. That hasn’t changed, even though he’s under arrest. Stavros is a big brave warrior afrai...
4½ StarsI really enjoyed this story with Natalie and Jebediah -- I especially appreciate how Anne Kane flipped the usual trope of how a woman who is at the top of her game meets a man who can out-fly her. Natalie definitely leaves Jebediah in the d...
4 StarsThis author has built the most intricate series I've ever had the good fortune to read. This book centers around Mei-Li and Six. Mei-Li looks small and as her name indicates is of Asian descent. But she's got moxy and determination and she'...
4½ StarsThis is the eleventh (!!!) book in this series and it’s not getting old yet. So much world building has gone on that it’s like visiting a favorite location when another book is released. While the author spins a tale of love and romance for...
4½ StarsI'm probably a little biased about this author's work; she appeals to me on so many literary levels. Her books have snark, alpha males, hot sex and more. This newest in the Coletti Series continues that fine tradition as well as a kick-butt...
4½ StarsEntertaining and tightly paced with more than a dash of steamy sizzle, Joely does not disappoint. Although this is book 3 out of a series, it can be read on its own even as it doesn't stand alone. Burkhart does a fantastic job of weaving in...
4 StarsTurning Tricks is the sequel to 18% Gray and should not be read as a standalone. This book picks up right where book one left off. James and Matt are now back in Oregon and are living on the base/compound with Matt's family. They are trying...
3¼ StarsThis series is highly complicated and you must read the previous books to have even a clue as to who everyone is and what is going on. The stories all interconnect and are dependent on one another for details vital to the story being told....
4 StarsI absolutely adored Kor and could have single-handedly strangled Maggie. Why? Her dedication to her fiancé Donald who was, in my opinion, a waste of skin was nauseating. Probably because he was all brain and thought that exempted him from p...
4 StarsBlackie is about as popular as gum on the bottom of your shoe on the Cyborg Planet. He's a trusted minion of the council and those who have chosen female mates have had a run in or two with him. So when he finally runs into the woman who he...
