  An omega imprisoned for what she is. A kind man who rescues her, never suspecting the truth. Selene was kept in a locked, dark room for years, hidden by her father to keep her safe from dangerous alphas. Until the day she’s forced to find a way out, leaving her life of captivity behind. When Harry finds a woman running through the woods, lost and confused, he takes her home to nurse her back to health. Little does he know he’s found a rare, prized omega—one who will desperately need his help when she goes into heat. But there's nothing Harry can do to sate her needs, as much as he wishes he could. He's just a beta. Or is he? This is a soft, cozy omegaverse novella about a shy woman with a dark past and the big, cinnamon roll man who wants to help her return to a normal life. It's a quick and steamy read in a gaslamp fantasy setting, with a sprinkle of thrill and a well-earned happily ever after. My Review This is a sweet and steamy read. I like how kind Harold is with Sel...

  From multi-award-winning author, Linda Watkins, comes a story of two women, from different walks of life, and the one dog who loved them both. A feature writer for the Boston Globe, Sarah Palmer had it all – a beautiful apartment, a great job, and a family she adored. A thousand miles away, Mindy Sue Watson didn’t have it so good. Trapped in a marriage to an abusive alcoholic, her only pleasure was in tossing a ball to a skinny dog she’d adopted from the local shelter. My Review Linda writes a really good story. I complete understand and can relate to the power of a dog's love. I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by Jes Forrest. Jes does a great job of narrating the audiobook.  Sarah and Mindy both go through a lot. They both experience traumatic events that leaves them both drowning. Not physically but emotionally. Yet, through one special dog named Zoey, the two women are able to slowly heal and make a new friend for life.  If you are a dog lover like me, y...

  She saved me once. She probably doesn’t remember. I can’t forget her. Fourteen years ago, when we were small, I was starving. Not just my stomach rumbling, but hungry for kindness. For someone to look at me like I mattered. She did. Until she couldn’t look at me at all. I learned how to survive without being wanted in foster home after foster home. Holding on to my memories of her. Of how she saw me as more than  nothing . And now she’s back in my world. Bright. Successful. Untouched by the ruin that shaped me into the monster I am. I should stay away. Men like me don’t get women like her. But I’ve never been good at letting go. So I watch. And I wait. Telling myself it’s harmless. That loving her from the darkness is enough. Until I see  him . A face from our past. Someone who remembers what she did. And wants to make her pay for it. I have survived worse than him. I’m not afraid to abandon any remaining morals to keep her safe. My love for her was born in darkness and...

  A collection of dark and filthy stories featuring monsters and their mates. Through triggers and spice, this will leave you dreaming of the monsters under your bed! Centaur - Laura & Aster Polar Bear Shifter - Kimberly & Charlie Orc - Katie & Azog Werewolf Shifter - Brynna, Jake, Jareth, & Dray Vampire - Sienna, Malachi, Azmin, & Zamin Verdant Witch - Riley & Vergos Alien - Cassandra & Zahl My Review I liked this collection of monster romance stories. There is a very nice variety of stories and monsters. Although, I would not really call them monsters as they are not bad.  Some of my favorite stories were Polar Bear Shifter - Kimberly & Charlie, Orc - Katie & Azog, Werewolf Shifter - Brynna, Jake, Jareth, & Dray, and Alien - Cassandra & Zahl. This is not to say that the other stories were not good too.  For anyone who like PNR romance stories, you may want to check out this collection. Yet, I will say that I wanted all of...

  I built my life on the ruins he left behind and told myself I was stronger than the girl who would have bled for him. I swore I would never let him touch me again, but some loves don’t die—they wait. They fester. They turn feral. Now he stands in front of me like a storm I thought I survived. He betrayed me, and somehow, he is still the only thing that feels like home. His presence is an all-consuming force that burns through every ounce of anger I try to hold onto. I hate him for what he did. I hate that I can’t stop myself from falling for them, but I don’t know how to breathe in a world where their brutal mercy doesn’t exist. My Review Raelynn is a feisty woman boss. Thus, it only makes sense that she has three men at her feet. They are Thor, Callum, and Anton. I instantly fell for Thor. He really knew how to push Raelynn's buttons and bring out her "bratty" side. Next favorite is Anton. He has a cheeky side but not as much as Thor and then there is Callum.  The dyna...
