Claiming My Mate: A forbidden-lovers romance (Wolf Hollow Pack #1) by Nicole Howl

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to draw a reader’s attention and keep it. I really can’t wait for book two of the Wolf Hollow Pack series.

Lily is nothing, but a servant to the Royals. She’s beaten, raped, and tortured by one of the guards. She’s also bitten which causes her to turn. She also has to deal with the Prince who is claiming her as his mate. The quote I chose for Lily is: “I didn’t ask to be a she-wolf. I never wanted this! I didn’t ask to be a slave. I didn’t ask for Callum to rape me. I didn’t ask to be beaten and starved and thrown in the dungeons. I didn’t ask to be mated to the Prince of Wolf Hollow, soon to be the Alpha of ALL the f***ing wolves. I didn’t ask for the current Alpha to take an interest in me. I just wanted to be a normal f***ing girl! I just wanted a normal f***ing life! Is that too much to ask for? Is that too much to want? There has to be something that I did to deserve this. Did I do something in a past life? Why does Leto hate me so much? She’s supposed to be a f***ing Goddess, for crying out loud! What did I ever do to her?”

Jason is the Prince and future Alpha of the Hollow Wolf Pack. He finds his mate and then finds himself going against his father. He’s not one to give up easily and he will win the girl in the end, but it might cost him his life. The quote I chose for Jason is: “When I first realized he needed to go, I was too young. I wasn’t strong enough. Now? I’ve heard from the pack and those around us that they want the monarchy to change. They want a different system. If I were to challenge him, it would ruin their trust in me. They would rather me join their cause and change things slowly than challenging my father. This is their rodeo. I’m just a member.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Werewolf lovers.

Forbidden Love (The Forbidden Duet #1) by K.M. Lowe

Kally has been in love with her best friend, Clark, for years. She thinks that her eighteenth birthday will change everything for the best, but it doesn’t. After three years of being married she snapped. The quote I chose for Kally is: “I wish everyone would stop asking me that. I’m fine. I just needed some space. Those meetings are stifling. They’ve all been through worse than I have. I feel like a fraud being there.”

Clark has been in love with Kally since they were kids. He goes to her birthday party in hopes to get with her, but that doesn’t happen. He’s instead thrown for a loop. Now he’s got to bide his time before he can get the girl. The quote I chose for Clark is: “I will one day. I want her to experience life before she settles down. She deserves that much, Nancy.”

Luc is about to get the shock of his life. He’s got a half sister that he doesn’t know about. Will he be able to do what they want him to do? The quote I chose for Luc is: “Get John on the phone and make sure the interior designer starts updating this floor first. I want those cubicles gone. And find out more about the executive assistant I have. I discovered early this morning that they didn’t disclose Edward’s assistant was on maternity leave and a temp has been working here for three weeks.”

Stella is a doctor at MetroGen. Sober and trying to stay that way. She can’t seem to stay away from sex. Three guys and she ends up pregnant. The quote I chose for Stella is: “See, I go for more of the fake-gentle approach of psychological flaying. Ask them uncomfortable questions in the middle of a high focus procedure.”

There were three men and I really couldn’t find any quotes that stood out for me. You’ll have to read to find out who they are and how they fit in with Stella and her crazy life.

Colt has lost pretty much everyone he cares about. First his dad, then his mom, his best friend and finally his little sister. Now he’s stuck raising the baby. He isn’t sure how much more he can handle. Will Evelyn be able to break through to him? The quote I chose for Colt is: “My sister and I would like to thank everyone for coming today.

Can she get the forever with him that she’s dreamed about? The quote I chose for Kayden is: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you didn’t seem to mind if I fibbed when we dated so you could get your way.

Maddie is a witch and a powerful one at that. Her second year at Thunderbird isn’t going like she would’ve liked. Now she doesn’t have her bff and she’s starting to crush on a boy. The quote I chose for Maddie is: “Don’t call me that. In case you haven’t noticed, there are people waiting. I don’t know what kind of manner-less hole you crawled out of, but it’s polite to let people in line be the first ones to get the food they’ve been waiting for.”

Aiden is a wolf shifter and he’s the next Alpha of his Pack. When he meets Maddie he has to tease her and not give in to what he wants. He’s not exactly looking for a relationship with her.

Bella-An Appalachian Love Story & Jagged Dawn-Logan’s Beginnings (Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The Logan McKenna Series is one of my favorite series. Getting to know the stories behind the series is amazing.

Bella-An Appalachian Love Story is about Logan’s great-grandmother and her great-grandfather. Norah and Giovanni are the ones who created Logan’s beloved violin, Bella.

The quote I chose for Norah is: “I wish I could give you those hours, those pine-filled nights on the porch, lightnin’ bugs dancin’ in the growin’ night, the air still soft with summer, but with fall’s sharp edge to it, stomachs full, washing up done, wood stove stoked, and Grandpa and me playin’ up the moon while Aunt Leila rocked content, smokin’ her pipe. But I was talkin’ about George, wasn’t I? Hard to keep the tellin’ on a straight path. There’s so much to tell.”

The quote I chose for Giovanni is: “Nothing, right away. One winter morning, a Signor Valerio, a well-known patron of the arts in Mantua, entered the shop, requesting a violin be made for a promising young musician he wanted to encourage, and in time for the city music festival at the end of the summer. The violin was to be of the best materials, made in the traditional way, and could only be trusted to Master Basso, of course! Time was of the essence and cost was of little concern.”

Jagged Dawn-Logan’s Beginnings is a story about what led up to the divorce. Her daughter is away in Africa and we get to see what Logan gets up to. We get to watch the downfall of her marriage and learn why she is the way she is.

The quote I chose for Logan is: “Nice to meet you, Jim, happy to be here. Jack just stepped out for a minute. I’m sure he’ll be right back. We should be ready to start the first session after lunch. We’ll get through the basic training this afternoon and tomorrow morning, and still leave time for troubleshooting and individual custom consults in the afternoon. Is one o’clock still a good time to start this afternoon?”

It was nice having someone see me for me and not judge me based on my family. Guess, I just wanted it to last a little bit longer than it did.”

Jeremy is a business man and has recently broken up with his girlfriend. When he goes into a diner across the street from a lot he just bought he meets Regan. He finds that she is exactly what he’s looking for in a woman. The quote I chose for Jeremy is: “Maybe now you’ve learned your lesson.

The quote I chose for Franceen is:“Two days later. Apparently that afternoon he’d gone away with friends and had left his phone in his car. He hadn’t even told me what he was doing. I admit I was absorbed in doing everything I could to keep our child safe, but I didn’t expect him to actually go away.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

So Right: A Fake Fiancee Reverse Age Gap Romance (Love Grows Series #5) by Renee Regent

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. I will be looking for the others in the Love Grows Series. So Right is the fifth book in the series and is a fantastic read.

Amara is the assistant of the CEO and wants to be promoted. She loves her job and everything that comes with it. That’s until she’s asked to go look at a property pretending to be engaged to Petro. Her own past comes back to haunt her on the trip. The quote I chose for Amara is: “Thank you for everything, Petro. You are making this whole thing so much better than I imagined.”

Petro has moved out of California after his life went to Hell and he hasn’t been back. Now he’s being sent back to work on a project. Will it help his career or will it deter it? Can he find his happily ever after? “No, nothing like that. Well, he was very critical. He would get angry with me after I’d done something stupid or got into trouble. He’d lecture me about how I had embarrassed him, and what a loser I was, not living up to my potential. Even when I did do something right, he’d dismiss it. I guess we fell into a dynamic where I could never please him. After having been his favorite who could do no wrong, it kind of messed me up.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Then she’s being told that shes not going on the mission this year, but to fight demons in the Earth World. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “He was. You know… my father and your brother were both in Tipereth Forest when Solana’s demons attacked and killed them. She manifested them by connecting to a master demon.”

Her life is about to change and she’s not sure if it’s for the best or not. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “It’s because of that— that shadow-wolf, isn’t it?”

The Mesmerist: A Young Adult Fantasy Mystery by Claire Luana

This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. The author keeps me coming back and so far each book I’ve read is amazing. The Mesmerist is a great book.

The quote I chose for Adrijana is: “It doesn’t sit well that you questioned Spirodon without me. I wanted to be there. I needed to be there. To put my own questions to rest.”

The quote I chose for Dragan is: “I don’t see how it’s possible. But if it makes you feel better, when I get a chance, I’ll consult the Mesmer library and see what I can find.”

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Although it will not be my last, I can promise you that. The author sure does know how to capture a reader’s attention. A Spider in the Garden is an amazing book!

Dag likes to be alone and doesn’t want to follow anyone. When a webmaker walks into his bar he wants to get to know her more. He finds that he wants to spend more time with.

Doctor D’s Orderly Affair (Doctors of Eastport General #1) by C.A. King

He meets a woman who he doesn’t expect to fall in love with. The quote I chose for Desmond is: “After the funeral, I was lost. I took a leave of absence, spent some time wallowing, and fell into a deep depression. When I started piecing my life together again, you were already gone and I didn’t know where to. I had no idea we’d meet up like this, but I’m glad we did. It gives me a second chance to make things right. Can we start over again?”
