"Luck of the Dragon" [Las Vegas Dragons Series, Book 1] by Susannah Scott

Author's Book Description : Luciana de Luca has a PhD in sass and gemology—and a problem. Her twin brother’s gambling debts have gotten out of hand, and a mob enforcer is blackmailing her for access to the million dollar jewel exhibit at the lastest, greatest mega-casino on the strip. Although Lucy has worked her whole life to get away from her family’s grifter past, to save her brother, she dons three-inch Manolo Blahniks and a sluts-r-us dress and struts into Alec’s Gerald’s casino.

Alec Gerald, a shape-shifting dragon, has built the Crown Jewel casino to provide sanctuary for his people amongst the flash and awe of the Las Vegas. Alec must find his destined mate or lose his dragon form forever—unfortunately, his mate turns out to be the sexy little thief trying to rob his exhibit. With enemies in every corner, and the all-important mating ceremony looming, Alec and Lucy must learn to trust each other, before time runs out for Alec and the rest of the dragons.

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. A burly dragon-shifter leader finally finds his mate, now if he can get her to stop stealing from him everything might be perfect! This series has a lot of potential with it's unique storyline about the dragons' mating and their upbringings to their current course of creating a "home base" in Las Vegas trying to "hide in plain sight."

With all that being said, I wanted to like this novel but I just was not a fan of Lucy's at all. I found her as a bad enabler for her twin brother, someone who kept trying and trying to get herself away from her past but allows her brother to reel her back in time and time again, and someone who doesn't trust easily which makes her a bit wishy washy in her actions throughout this novel. Therefore, when reading this novel I just couldn't get into liking Lucy's character, she was good in the beginning but after her actions (and her brother's too) repeatedly repeating themselves I had to force my way through it by the time I was about halfway through.

Overall, I don't recommend this book but I do have hope for this series. Good luck to those who decide to read it and I hope you'll like Lucy more then I did.

"What's so important that you pull me away from my mate?" He couldn't help the broad smile that stretched his mouth. To find one's mate, it was the work of a lifetime for a dragon.
Leo gaped at him and pushed away from the wall. "Your mate? But, she is a human, and she stole your keycard."
"Yes, I am aware of that." Alec gave a what-else-you-got shrug.
"Does she wear your dragon mark?"
"Not yet." Alec ground his teeth. ~ within Chapter 8

"A Twitch of Tail" [The Wiccan-Were-Bear Series, Book 6] by R. E. Butler

My Book Summary : Wysteria (Tera) hasn't been feeling well the past few days, when she talks to her coven about how she feels and her lusty dreams they inform her that usually means she'll be finding her mate(s) soon. And while she is helping heal a cub at the local were-tiger's ambush, she does just that .... meets her mates, were-tiger brothers, Melo and Tahlon.

Their lives would be perfect if people from Tahlon & Tera's pasts would just stay away. However, since that's not going to happen hopefully they'll be able to pull through it all ... together.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. Two brothers find their mate, now if they can only make sure their pasts don't interfere with their futures. This is a sticky sweet paranormal erotica that even though it has a slow start it pulls you in and makes you want to root for this charming trio. I did like learning about the were-tigers lives/customs.

I recommend this novel to anyone who likes paranormal erotic romances.

He and Melo reached out for her at the same time, and the moment that his hand wrapped around her arm, he felt the connection to her shoot straight through his body to his heart. She was his mate. And not just his, but Melo's as well. Theirs to share.
She made a soft sound of surprise, and then her eyes rolled back in her head. Her body slumped towards the ground.

Unease settled through him, and he cast his eyes back at Tera. They had just begun their journey and already he wished they were home. ~ within Chapter 6

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars, two mates/beloveds find each other in very unusual circumstances and make sure they are able to stay together now matter what. I loved this sweet erotica and how quickly Sabrina and Griegs' lives come together! Plus, for not reading the previously published books in this series, I found I was able to follow along very well without any issues.

"Holy hell it smells like a brothel in here," Ash snorted.
Griegs laughed. "I guess you guys all had the same idea I did."
Elizabeth pressed the button to turn on the overhead lights, pulled her hair up, and tilted her head to show mating marks on both sides of her neck. I laughed and flipped my hair to show mine, and we all turned and looked at Shaylee who pointed hers under the pile of black hair.
Greigs lifted up his freshly bitten wrist. "Suck it, guys. My baby bit me back."
Everyone went quiet for a moment, and then both girls groaned lightly as the men began making demands for bite marks of their own. ~ within Chapter 8

"Claiming His Mate" [Crescent Moon Series, Book 2] by Savannah Stuart (aka Katie Reus)

My Book Summary : Six months ago, Max, a werewolf shifter and second-in-command of his pack, met his mate named Lauren, a jaguar shifter and the youngest daughter of her pride's alpha, but because of tensions between their pack & pride and because of other personal reasons he wasn't able to pursue her. That is until Lauren decides to break into Max alpha's house while the alpha is on his honeymoon so Lauren can steal back the broach that Max's pack took from her family a long time ago. However, Lauren's plan backfires, a little, when she gets into the house because Max is there to catch her. Now she's faced with the opportunity to get the broach back still if she'll agree to spend the week with him in his condo. How bad could it be...

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars! Two supposed enemies find that they would rather fight to be together then apart if only they can get everyone else to agree. I really liked this novel, yet I was pleasantly surprised to see how much of a plot was included in it. Max and Lauren were quite a pair, the way they circled around each other like prized champions until their feelings couldn't take it anymore was fun to read about.

I recommend this novel to anyone who likes to read about unique relationships within the shifter romance world!

Moving lightening fast, he reached into the front of her pocket and pulled out the paper Derrick had given her.
He let his claws extend, shredding the paper into confetti. She gasped and the entire table---and the waitstaff---went silent. The pieces silently fell to the floor. "She's not going to be calling you." Even though he spoke to Derrick, he kept his gaze on her.
Fire erupted in Lauren's eyes, her inner jaguar peeking through as they transformed into straight feline, amber and glowing with anger. "I'll call whoever I want." ~ within Chapter 4

"Her Warriors’ Three Wishes" [Dante’s Circle Series, Book 2] by Carrie Ann Ryan

My Book Summary : Over a year ago Jamie, and six of her best girl friends, were struck by lightening and it changed her life forever. Jamie's friends and her found that because of the lightening they were going to change from humans into different supernatural beings once they find their "true half/halves." Jamie's problem is that she found her true half a year ago; a Warrior Angel named Ambrose, who was a coward and walked away from her not long after they met. Now a year has passed and because they have yet to bond, Jamie is dying. Once Ambrose sees her again, he knows he has to get over his cowardliness and bond with Jamie. However, before he has a chance to prove himself that he's worthy of her, an enemy of Ambrose's named Pyro, a very evil demon, kidnaps Jamie and brings her to hell to torture her and more. While in hell Jamie gets sold to the demon games and learns that Ambrose might not be the only one who is her true half, Pyro's "good" son--Balin--is also. If only Ambrose, Jamie, and Balin can find a way to bond together, break out of hell, and work out a future that they are all happy with before anything worse comes their way.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, three people find out what it means to really meet their true halves even in the direst circumstances. I liked the build up of this novel, how it showed many different realms, and how Jamie finds that not everyone is as welcoming to the girls’ new powers as her friend Lily first found. I am curious as to see what Jamie's other friends will turn into and if Nadie and Dante will end up together.

Jamie, Balin, and Ambrose are a unique couple that will be interesting to see how their lives will turn out as this series progresses. I especially enjoyed that the guys were open to the unusual changes in their lives as much as they were, definitely quicker then Jamie was.

I recommend this novel and series to anyone who enjoys paranormal romances!

"I'll explain everything."
"The place is on lockdown at night, Balin," Hunter explained, and Balin nodded. "We won't be able to get out until they open it back up."
"I know, but I can get you out when they open. I'm a demon, and they won't look twice at me bringing Jamie out." They'd just think he was taking her for some personal play, but he wasn't about to tell Jamie that.
"Me and Hunter," she corrected.
Balin cast a look toward the prized fighter who was rumored to be a good man, hence why he'd become a prisoner in hell.
"Fine, Hunter as well."
"Before we do any of this, you're going to explain to me exactly who you are and why I feel the need to wrap myself around you and never let go," Jamie said, her chin raised high.
Balin smiled and bit back a groan at the thought of her doing just that. "We're true halves, Jamie."
"And, what about Ambrose?" Her voice cracked when she said his name, and Balin wanted to curse himself.
"Why can't you have us both?" he asked, and Hunter rolled his eyes.
"Both?" she squeaked. ~ within Chapter 6

Balin looked over at Ambrose. "Do you have a plan?"
"I know of a way out of the cells if we're quick when the time comes. However, I can't get out of hell as easily. That's where you come in."
Balin shook his head. "I can't. At least not yet." Balin gave him a look full of meaning, and Ambrose held back a curse.
Of course Balin couldn't. Dante had said the demon was reaching his three hundredth year, meaning he wouldn't have the power or energy to get out of hell. The only way would be if he mated with his true half---or in his case, his triad.
Meaning they'd have to convince Jamie to form the bond in truth in the middle of hell.
Meaning he'd have to convince her to make love with two men in the middle of hell.
Yes, that seemed like an easy feat.
Much like building Rome. ~ within Chapter 7
