Review: A Mate for Christmas (Moon Shifter #7) by Katie Reus

Title: A Mate for Christmas
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Moon Shifter #7

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

It will take a miracle to survive the holidays...
After recently losing her parents, packmates and a sister, Noel Cordona isn’t even close to being in the holiday spirit. It seems that everyone around her is moving on and happy, but she can’t seem to get it together. When an unexpected kiss changes everything she thought she knew about her packmate Nathan O’Neill, she feels alive for the first time in a year. She’s too broken for him though. At least that’s what she tries to tell them both.

But Nathan’s been waiting patiently for Noel. He’s not going to lose faith now. With a little holiday magic, he can help her overcome the weight of her grief and show her that opening her heart to him is the best Christmas gift he could ever give her.

Just in time for Christmas!

A mate for Christmas is a sweet novella which tells the story of Noel and Nathan but also visits our favorite couples of the series.

Noel is still trying to get over her sister’s death. Her other sisters have the support of their mates and Noel feels alone and lost. Nathan knows that Noel is struggling to deal with the loss of her parents and sister but he has no idea how to help her. He once tried to stand by her side only to be rejected. Or so he thought!

I loved this novella. We got to see how the pack was preparing to spend their holidays. We got at least one scene with every couple and as always, I especially enjoyed Lucas and Vivian’s scenes! They are just soooo adorable! I’m also glad to see the pack so relaxed, bonded and happy to enjoy such a special time.

A truly awesome Christmas surprise!

Review: Dark Protector (Moon Shifter #6) by Katie Reus

Title: Dark Protector
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Moon Shifter #6

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

He walked away once; he won't do it again.Wolf shifter Aldric Kazan is no stranger to pain. Since the loss of his mate a century ago, he won't allow himself to fall for someone again—not even the feisty female who stirs things in him that he thought were gone long ago. But as a supernatural investigator, he's forced to team up with the same woman he vowed to stay away from.
She let him in once; she refuses to do it again.Natalia Cordona refuses to back down from any challenge—even if it means joining forces with Aldric, the sexy and brooding man who won't get too close. Locating missing vampires before a volatile war breaks out seems nearly impossible as the duo struggle with their explosive and undeniable attraction. Now it's up to Natalia and Aldric to trust each other to stop an all-out war from breaking out that would destroy the harmony they've all worked so hard for.

Dark Protector tells the story of Aldric, Jayce’s brother and Natalia Kordona.

After violently losing his mate, Aldric has completely secluded himself until he comes across his brother, Jayce, and his new pack mates. Aldric and Natalia met in the previous book and their chemistry was off the records. However, Aldric was still mourning for his mate and ignored what his wolf was trying to tell him. Now, Natalia wants nothing to do with him but a mission will bring them together no matter what they want.

Aldric and Natalia were one stubborn couple. Aldric would rather suffer alone than be hurt again but neither Natalia nor Jayce are willing to let him alone. Natalia knows not to push him but time is against them and they will have to work together or face a war.

I really liked Dark protector! It was not just Aldric and Natalia’s story. We got to see Aldric’s healing journey and his reconciliation with his brother as well, which I really liked.

ARC Review: Dangerous Protector (Red Stone Security #14) by Katie Reus

Title: Dangerous Protector
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Red Stone Security #14

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

She thought she was finally safe…
After two years of running Tegan O’Kelly could finally stop when the deadly gangster after her died. Eight months ago she put down roots in sunny Miami. For the first time in years she has friends, a job she likes and she can think about the future, not just surviving to the next day. When her car is bombed in broad daylight, she decides to stand her ground instead of running from her faceless enemy.

But a deadly enemy has her in his crosshairs…
Single father Aaron Fitzpatrick knew Tegan was trouble from the moment he laid eyes on her. Sexy trouble wrapped up in a petite, dynamite package he fantasizes about kissing far too often. So far he’s been able to keep his distance, but when he witnesses her car explode—with her close by—something protective erupts inside him. After his wife left him and their son five years ago, he’s stayed away from relationships and women, but he can’t keep his distance from Tegan. It’s clear she’s in danger and the more he learns about her, the more he knows he has to stand beside her and fight the danger hunting her.

Another great addition to the Red Stone Security series!

Aaron knows that Tegan is trouble but he can’t resist being around her. No matter their attraction, Aaron is not selfish and he would never hurt his son or Tegan by pursuing something more when it is obvious that Tegan has her own secrets. Tegan is sure that she has escaped the people that are hunting her – how could she not be when their leader is presumed dead.

When her car explodes mere feet away from her, Tegan starts questioning the information she has been given. So, as she is about to run once again, to protect the people she has come to care about, Aaron is there and unwilling to let her out of his sight until the danger has passed. Despite their scorching chemistry, could Tegan place Aaron and even worse his young son in danger?

This is the 14th book in the series and I really can’t believe how fast the series has developed. Dangerous Protector started off really great. We got to know more about our protagonists and their pasts and I also found it really sweet that the danger Tegan faces has brought them together instead of separating them.

Dangerous Protector was a fabulous addition to the series and even though I really liked Tegan and Aaron, I wish there were more scenes with Dillon, Aaron’s young son. I hope you see more of Callan, Aaron’s brother and Kimmy, Tegan’s boss.

ARC Review: Love Thy Enemy (Red Stone Security #13) by Katie Reus

Title: Love Thy Enemy
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Red Stone Security #13

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

She refuses to trust him.

Red Stone Security employee Dominique Castle knows all too well that there are people in this world she just can't trust. After losing both her parents, Dominique keeps her distance from anyone tied to her past—especially the man she's hated for years. And Viktor Ivanov isn't going to change her mind about who he really is—no matter how determined the infuriatingly sexy Russian is.

He's determined to win her over.

She may hate him and not trust him, but Viktor is determined to crack through Dominique's icy exterior one way or another—even if it means taking the game into his own hands. With a past like Viktor's, he's made more than a few enemies along the way—enemies who'll stop at nothing to take him down. When Viktor realizes Dominique's life is in danger because of him, he’ll stop at nothing to protect her—whether she likes it or not. Now it's up to Dominique to trust the one man who's linked to the agony of her past. Can she find a way to love the enemy she always loathed?

I feel like it was just a month ago when Secret Obsession was released and we already have the #13 book in the Red Stone Security series.

Dominique is clever, loves her job at RSS and her friends, she is successful and beautiful but she does not have the people she loves the most, her parents. She is well aware that her father brought about their misfortunes but it was the devil himself that ruined them all! Dominique knows very well who to blame, Victor Ivanov and his father. It was his father that took everything from her, that made her an orphan. Victor’s father may be gone but as long as Victor, Dominique cannot forget what was taken from her. When she catches Victor’s eye though things change and it doesn’t take long to realize that Victor was never her enemy!

Dominique and Victor’s story was great! I liked a lot of things about their story but there was one thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars! Dominique claims that she has hated Victor and his father for a long time, years actually, she blames both of them for her mother’s death. However, at the same time, she already appears quite taken with Victor despite blaming him. It seems so contradictory and a bit confusing. I could feel her pain and anger towards Victor’s family but one kiss is all it takes for her to forget everything! Really?! It was actually more than that! She was the one who went after him time and time again, not to take her revenge or anything but to pursue a romantic relationship. I don’t have a problem with strong heroines but with her and Victor’s history their romance seemed rushed and unrealistic.

I especially liked Victor’s half-brother, Abram and their assistant, Lucy! Their relationship was HOT!

I have no idea who is next but I hope the next book will be a bit longer.

ARC Review: Secret Obsession (Red Stone Security #12) by Katie Reus

Title: Secret Obsession
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Red Stone Security #12

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

He’s the security she’s always needed.Since she moved to Miami, Raegan Taylor has desired Ford Burke–a sexy and rugged cop. He’s everything she’s ever wanted. Unfortunately for Raegan, Ford’s kept his distance. But when a night out goes extremely wrong, his protective instincts kick into high gear, and he finds himself fighting for her in more ways than one.
She’s exactly what he was trying to avoid.Once Raegan and Ford grow closer, the harder they start to fall for each other. But Ford’s past stirs up feelings he just can’t control, threatening to destroy everything they’ve worked for. And when he screws up, he may lose more than just his one shot with her.
And now someone’s ready to ruin it all.Someone wants Raegan—and if he can’t have her—nobody can. He’s waiting. He’s watching. He’s lurking. Ready to strike. He’ll make her his. He’ll take down anyone who gets in his way—even a cop.

Secret Obsession is the twelfth book in the Red Stone Security series and it offers not one but two parallel romances. The main focus, though, are Raegan Taylor, Harrison, Grant and Porter’s cousin and sexy cop, Ford Burke.

Ford cannot believe that the one woman whom he desires is the Caldwell’s cousin. As if that wasn’t enough, she’s a decade younger than him and the fact that he can’t seem to control himself around her, makes Ford believe that Raegan is a dream that he is never going to enjoy.

Raegan may be the Caldwell’s cousin but she won’t let them control her life. Working at RSS with Athena is something she didn’t expect to be doing but she has come to love her job. She likes everyone at RSS and her job offers her more than she would ever need. But something is missing and she knows exactly what, Ford. Even though the sexy cop won’t admit his feelings, his actions say a lot. So, when Ford saves her from a night gone wrong, Raegan knows it’s a now or never opportunity.

Secret obsession was amazing! I really liked Ford and Reagan as a couple. I loved the fact that we got to see and hear from couples from the previous books in the series and I especially loved the scenes with Mara and Harrison (they still remain my fav couple). We also get to meet Raegan’s friends, Ruby and Dominique. This book has two romances and the other, while parallel, is a bit short-ish but still really great! We got to see Ruby and Montez get together and how their relationship developed and everything and it was so cute!

As for Dominique, worry not. Katie recently announced that she’s getting her own story with a character we briefly meet here. Her book, Love Thy Enemy, will be out early June, so make sure to read this one before the next one comes out!

Another great read by Katie Reus!

ARC Review: Into the Darkness (Darkness #5) by Katie Reus

Title: Into the Darkness
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Darkness #5

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

One book. Two stories. A demigod and a half-demon are about to get married. Which means a week of festivities, romance, fun, and the kind of crazy drama wolf shifters are known for. When someone targets the Stavros pack, everyone bands together to fight an unknown enemy and two couples will fight for their chance at happily ever after.
She’s not looking for a mate…
Rhea is a warrior. She’s bled and fought for the Stavros wolf pack for over a hundred years. She never expected to fall for the Alpha of a dragon clan. But when her past comes back to haunt her, she finds herself working side by side with the very man whose been staring in all her fantasies. She never wants to get mated because she’ll never risk getting someone she cares for killed. Not again. So she convinces herself that they have something fun and easy, no strings attached.
But he’s playing for keeps…
Conall, Alpha of the Petronilla clan, has been biding his time claiming his future mate. At fifteen hundred years old he’s patient and cunning. Except when he’s around Rhea, years of civilization are stripped away and all he wants to do is possess her, make her his forever. But something happened in the stubborn woman’s past and she’s determined to keep walls between them. It’s a good thing he’s a dragon. He’ll just burn down every last barrier between them and claim what’s his. But someone from her past is threatening her and her pack—and the life of the woman he’s waited a lifetime to make his own.
* * *
Shifters, vampires and dragons are real…
A year ago Liberty had no idea that things that go bump in the night actually existed. But supernatural beings are real. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in her new reality. Saved from a Hell realm by a team of half-demons and a demigod, she finds herself falling for her sexy rescuer Rory more and more every day. She’s worried she’s too broken to ever have a relationship again, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny her attraction.
And when they choose a mate, they don’t give up easily.
Half-wolf, half-demon Rory has been looking out for Liberty ever since rescuing her from hell. And since she’s the wedding planner for his half-brother’s wedding, he sees her all the time. Not to mention he just happens to spend every night in her bed. Unfortunately he’s in wolf form when he stays over. He’s not sure what it’s going to take to move from friend to more, but he’s willing to wait forever if that’s what it takes. Because Liberty is worth fighting for, and he’ll do whatever it takes to make the brave survivor his.

I didn’t expect the books in the series to get any better than the previous one (which I fell in love with) but Into the Darkness, the fifth book in the series was beyond awesome.

Into the darkness offers not one but two stories which means two different couples. In Hunted by darkness, Nyx and Bo found their HEA and in this book they are ready to tie the knot. Everyone (aka their allies) is welcome to join their week long celebrations before their wedding. However, things don’t always go according to the plan, especially with so many supernatural creatures around.

Wolf shifter, Rhea, is happy for Nyx and Bo but when an unknown enemy seems poised to ruin their celebrations, Rhea will do anything to ensure that everyone’s safe even work with Alpha Dragon, Conal. Rhea and Conal’s friendship has been developing through the last couple of books in the series but they both want more even if they are afraid to admit it. Conal has been too patient and he’s too stubborn to give up now, especially when it becomes clear that the attacks are somehow connected with Rhea’s past. He will have his mate and destroy her enemies.

If only it were that simple.

Ever since Liberty was freed from hell, wolf/demon shifter Rory, Bo’s half-brother, has been by her side. His presence comforts her but Liberty knows that it’s time she moved on from her haunting memories of her captivity. Now, eight months later she’s trying to be helpful by organizing Nyx’s wedding celebrations. But with the sudden attacks happening, Rory will once again, stay by her side and protect her. Liberty, years for more than protection from him and she will gave to make sure the wolf/demon knows that!

Into the darkness was brilliant. Katie used Bo and Nyx’s wedding in order to create two beautiful stories and bring together two amazing couples. I loved that we also got to see glimpses of the first couple in the series, Finn and Lyra, whom I adore and their daughter Vega.

I can’t wait for more. I really can’t wait to read Ian or Vega or Cynara’s story!

Review: Hunted by Darkness (Darkness #4) by Katie Reus

Title: Hunted by Darkness
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Darkness #4

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

From two different worlds…

Now that she’s escaped her oppressive family, Nyx is enjoying her new life and friends—even if most of her friends don’t know who or what she is. As a rare demigod, she’s just learning how powerful she truly is, but family drama turns her world upside down, throwing the one man she cares about into danger.

He wasn’t supposed to fall for her…

Nyx is nothing like the females half-demon Bo Broussard has been with. Sweet and innocent, she’s not even remotely his type. But the moment she walks into his bar, he knows he’s not letting her go. Unfortunately someone from her past thinks they can force her into an arranged marriage.

He’s not letting her go…

Someone is targeting one of them, and Bo doesn’t know why. When they’re thrown into a hell realm together, he and Nyx will need to band together if they want to survive the perils of that world. No matter who was behind the attack, his choice is clear. Defend Nyx at all cost and make her his forever.

I’m in love with the Darkness series by Katie Reus!

The fourth book in the series tells the story of Bo Broussard, a half demon who we may have known from the first book in the series but it wasn’t until Beyond the Darkness that we really got to know him. Needless to say, he’s also abso-f*cking-lutely incredible. Bo might be the badass demon in the town but he just found his weak spot.

Nyx us one of Bo’s employees in his bar. Nobody knows what she really is but her secrets are about to be revealed for Nyx is a demigoddess who owns a favor to the Goddess of Chaos, her mother. When her mother comes to collect on her favor, Bo steps in. If Nyx’s mother wants to send her on a mission so be it, but he will go with her and that isn’t negotiable. The mission is supposed to be an easy one and with Bo at her side, what can go wrong?!

This book was so amazing! I loved how protective Bo and Nyx were of each other though it killed them not to act on their feelings, they still held back just to ensure that nothing happens to each other. I really liked Bo! There were so many surprises and twists in the book and not just minor stuff but major, game changing important surprises. I was surprised about how little I knew about Bo and Nyx until their past was revealed. The chemistry between them was off the charts which was super awesome for me!!!

Hunted by darkness was incredible. For me, this was that book in a series where you know that huge changes are ahead and I can’t wait for them or for Cynara or Rory or Ian’s stories!

Review: To Catch His Mate (Crescent Moon #5) by Savannah Stuart

Title: To Catch His Mate
Author: Savannah Stuart
Series: Crescent Moon #5

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

When she ran, she didn’t think he’d follow…
Pack princess Alyssa Clare was trying to come up with ways to get out of her arranged mating to alpha wolf Reece O’Shea—until she meets the powerful male. After getting to know him, mating doesn’t seem like such a bad idea anymore. But when he makes it clear she’s just a business arrangement for him and his pack, she calls off the mating and heads south to stay with a friend to lick her wounds in private.
But he’s not willing to let her go without a fight.
Reece can’t let Alyssa go, not when he’s completely fallen for the sweet, sexy female. He doesn’t care about the arranged mating deal, he just wants her and has no idea why she ran. To win her back he infiltrates another alpha’s territory, knowing it could mean his death. Luckily Grant Kincaid allows him in his domain—as long as Alyssa is okay with it. Convincing her that she’s all he wants is a bigger challenge than he imagined. But he’s not giving up, because he knows she’s the one he’s meant to be with forever.

It was supposed to be an arranged mating until they met each other.

Pack princess Alyssa Clare and Alpha wolf Reece O’Shea are in big trouble. Well not that big since they are supposed to be mated anyway but Alyssa suddenly backs out of the arrangement.

Reece can’t help but wonder what went wrong. He though Alyssa wanted everything he did, he though they were having a great time and in fact he has completely fallen for her. So when Alyssa calls off the mating, Reece isn’t that willing to let her go.

To catch his mate was a short and sweet story. Alyssa and Reece were two great and strong characters willing to do anything to protect their packs and the people they love. Alyssa though that for Reece their mating was just a business arrangement but she couldn’t be more wrong. Reece risked everything by entering Kincaid territory without approval just to get Alyssa to give him a chance to explain and that was really sweet.

I really enjoyed the fact that we got to see Grant and Alyssa’s father, Kayne and her best friend, Ember. There’s definitely something between them, so look out for it! The Alpha won’t know what hit him!

To catch his mate was a really great short story that will definitely make you want more!

ARC Review: Edge of Danger (Deadly Ops #4) by Katie Reus

Title: Edge of Danger
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Deadly Ops #4

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

When an assassin tries to kill undercover DEA agent Tucker Pankov the same week his boss is taken out, Tucker has good reason to be paranoid. And when other members of his elite team are not only targeted, but stripped of top-secret security clearance, Tucker has one shot at discovering who wants them dead—and why. So he kidnaps the only woman he thinks can save them.
Brilliant NSA analyst Karen Stafford doesn’t like being forced into anything, especially by someone she doesn’t trust. Yet after a hijacked US-owned drone starts attacking government installations resulting in mass casualties, Karen has to take Tucker’s side. Now, two unlikely allies must unite to prevent an escalating and unthinkable terrorist conspiracy. But as Tucker and Karen grow intimate, they realize the conspiracy runs deep, and their enemies are closer than anyone realized.

When his boss is murdered and his team framed for terrorist attacks, undercover DEA agent Tucker Pankov knows it’s time to act. After the hit on his tem, Tucker must carefully choose who to trust to help them. There is just one man that their boss really trusted so Tucker has only one shot to clear their names. But to get to this man, they will have to go through his assistant.

NSA analyst Karen Stafford can’t understand why a bunch of criminals abducted her and are insisting to contact her boss. Especially the one who calls himself Tucker since she knows that he is a notorious murderer. They are trying to convince her that they are DEA agents and the more evidence they provide the more she’s beginning to question the information she’s been given at the agency. When the Media blame Tucker’s team for a murder she’s sure they can’t have committed since they were with her at the time, Karen takes matters at her own hands.

I really liked Edge of Danger. From page one we are taken into a world of deception, lies and a world where the good guys seem to be the bad guys. Tucker and his team are patriots who have served their country and continue to do so despite the accusations against them. They didn’t really want to kidnap Karen but they had no other choice. When Tucker and Karen finally get to spend time together they are taken aback from their attraction between them. Karen is the woman who’s about to turn his world upside down. But their attraction is a challenge they will both have to win as Karen’s loyalties are questioned and Tucker’s future isn’t looking that bright.

The fourth book in the Deadly Ops series is full of non-stop action, suspense and romance. Tucker and Karen were great protagonists and I hope we get to see more of them in the next books but what I really want to know is who is next. I hope it’s someone from Tucker’s team. They were all great and I really wish to read their stories.

ARC Review: Sworn to Protect (Red Stone Security #11) by Katie Reus

Title: Sworn to Protect
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Red Stone Security #11

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

His worst mistake was walking away from her…Quinn Brody ended things with sweet, sexy Athena when he learned she was a virgin. Their relationship was getting too serious and walking away seemed like the best plan. But Quinn has never been able to forget Athena. And when she gets a marketing job at Red Stone Security, it becomes impossible. Quinn wants a second chance, but Athena's not interested—even if the chemistry between them is off the charts.
Now his past has come back to haunt him…The man Quinn put behind bars has been released from prison and is out for blood. Quinn took years of the man’s life and helped his abused wife flee so now the ex-con is hellbent on using Athena to make Quinn pay.
He’ll do anything to protect her…When Athena is sent to Vegas for a tradeshow Quinn volunteers to accompany her—to watch her back. But professional quickly turns personal when the threat to Athena escalates. Refusing to lose her again, Quinn will do anything to save her. Even if it means risking both his life and his heart.

Sworn to protect is the eleventh book in the Red Stone Security series and tells the story of Quinn, a RSS Agent and Athena, Belle’s cousin.

When Athena comes to work for RSS she never expects to see the only man who she ever desired but who rejected her. Quinn has long regretted breaking up with Athena but when he finds out that they will soon be working together, he knows that he will have to grab the opportunity fate offers. Only Athena knows better than to make the same mistake twice. So when Quinn is tasked with escorting Athena to Las Vegas, old passions awake while old enemies resurface.

Sworn to protect was so different from the other books in the series. Reading

Quinn and Athena’s story was so refreshing. Athena was really young but she was really focused on her future and she was confident in the choices she made and what she wanted. Quinn was very different from her. He was determined to fix his mistake, loyal, protective and weak when it came towards his feelings for Athena. There was a strong connection between them that you just couldn’t ignore.

What I really really loved was seeing characters from the previous books in the series and especially: Harrison, Belle and Grant, Iris, Travis, Ivan and Lizzy. I had missed them all so much. I really want to see more of Harrison and Mara. We don’t get to see them very often and since they are my favorite couple I want to read more of them (maybe a small novella?).

Katie Reus is a genius and once again she has delivered something amazing. Sworn to protect was one incredible read with one hell of a plot. Nothing was missing. It has action, suspense, romance, a hot alpha hero and a heroine willing to do anything to get her HEA.

Highly recommended!

ARC Review: Shattered Duty (Deadly Ops #3) by Katie Reus

Title: Shattered Duty
Author:  Katie Reus
Series: Deadly Ops #3

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

When his wife was murdered two years ago, Special Agent Levi Lazaro turned his back on everything he cared about. Ever since, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. Now he's finally uncovered the identities of those who killed his wife—and he's ready to destroy them at any cost. He won’t let anything stand in his way—not even a beautiful NSA agent on a mission of her own.
Special Agent Selene Wolfe prides herself on being the best. Her fearlessness and quick-thinking make her the perfect person to take down a deadly terrorist cell. But she needs Levi’s help, and the moment he shows up, Selene knows her objectivity—and her heart—are in trouble.
As the two strike an uneasy alliance, Levi finds himself tormented by his desire for Selene—a feeling he thought long dead. But when their mission takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself faced with an impossible choice: either put aside his need for revenge, or save the woman who’s reawakened his soul…

“You strip away every ounce of civility in me, Selene” - Levi

The third book in the Deadly ops series by Katie Reus tells the story of Special Agent Levi and Special Agent Selene Wolfe.

After his wife’s brutal murder and his inability to exact revenge through his agency, Levi decides to leave everything behind and uncover the identities of his enemies alone. Now two years later he has finally the names of the people who destroyed his life and he will stop at nothing to get his vengeance.

Special Agent Selene Wolfe is very close at catching the bad guys when Levi interferes with her case. Levi might have the names of his enemies but it’s Selene that has the connections and the means to bring them closer. Levi and Selene will have to work together if they want to bring down their common enemy. Selene knows that Levi wants to punish the man responsible for his wife’s murder. She knows he wants to kill him but first she needs some answers. She doesn’t completely trust him but she’s willing to take a chance with him.

Can Selene trust a man with no loyalty not to betray her?

This one was my favorite in the series! I loved the previous books but I clicked with this one. Levi was a tortured man. When he lost his wife, he lost not only his best friend but something more. He wanted to find out the reason his wife was targeted and he wanted justice. Levi tried to play by the rules but when it became clear that he would never get what he wanted through the agency, he left and became another man.

Selene owes her life to Levi even if he doesn’t remember why. Levi is aware that his wife had helped a lot of agents with their missions but what he doesn’t know is that the ties that bind them are stronger. She will help him get his revenge and she will make sure that he doesn’t jeopardize her own mission. Thousands of loves depend upon them. A wrong decision could cost them everything.

Levi was a great hero. Despite leaving his agency behind and breaking some laws, he never forgot his morals. He thought that he was a different man but deep down he was the same man that Selene met when she was young. Meeting again after all these years neither could anticipate the tension between them. Their first meeting was exploding.

As always I loved the secondary characters, in this case, Alexander and Allison. Their scenes were few but they were super amazing. Also, I was truly surprised with the ending. I never saw that coming.

Selene and Levi were two incredible main characters. Their story was one full of action, suspense and twists. They had a long and difficult road to follow but with their determination and courage they managed to reach its end.

Highly recommended!

ARC Review: Protective Instinct (Moon Shifter #5.5) by Katie Reus

Title: Protective Instinct
Author:  Katie Reus
Series: Moon Shifter #5.5

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

A woman worth fighting for…
Wolf shifter Teresa is blown away by her packmate Ryan’s honesty about his past and his rare empathic powers. She wants him in her bed—and her life. The only problem: Ryan insists they wait, because the last thing he wants is to recreate the hellish family he grew up in. Frustrated, Teresa jumps at the chance to assist a packmate off the ranch—far away from Ryan.

On the way, their vehicle is run off the road—and it wasn’t an accident. Ryan rushes to Teresa’s side, determined to protect her. But there’s a dangerous enemy lurking in the shadows, and if Ryan doesn’t break out of his old thinking and put his faith in his and Teresa’s love—and their ability to overcome obstacles together—it will be too late.

“He’d almost lost Teresa once. He couldn’t lose her because of the past that had haunted him his entire life.”

Another great addition to the series!

In Hunter Reborn we got to see Ryan accepting his feelings towards Teresa and revealing his secret to her but he was still holding back. He was afraid he was pushing Teresa in a relationship she may not want.

In Protective Instinct Teresa is done waiting. If her mate won’t claim her then she will have to take matters in her hands. Ryan knows that Teresa is his mate, he wants nothing more that to be with her but he isn’t sure if that’s what she wants. After his parents’ disastrous mating, he would never push Teresa into something like that. But what Ryan doesn’t understand is that Teresa wants nothing more that to be his mate.

Time is running out, Teresa is at her limits and all the while old enemies arise to exact revenge for their fallen.

Will Ryan claim his mate before it’s too late?

This novella was such an enjoyable, sweet, short story. We got to meet Teresa and Ryan almost from the beginning of the series but it’s not until the previous book that the tension between them explodes. I was really excited to read their story. It’s not often that secondary characters get their own stories (even if it’s a novella) but when they do, I think that we should be grateful.

I know that this is a paranormal book but the issues that Ryan and Teresa have to deal with are very real. All Ryan wants is Teresa’s happiness but he’s not sure if he can be what she wants, what she needs. Teresa knows that she’s willing to take the risk but will Ryan take the risk it too?

What I also loved, apart from the main story, was the secondary one, Natalia and Aldric’s story. Wow! There was so much tension between them. Their scenes were short but anyone could see how comfortable they were with each other. I really can’t wait for their story. Aldric and Natalia’s story is going to be a unique one due to Aldric’s situation.

A beautiful, romantic short with a bit action, suspense and amazing characters. I’m pretty sure we get to see a glimpse of almost every character in the series. I loved that.

Protective instinct is a must read for those of you who follow and love the series!

Totally recommended!

ARC Review: Retribution by Katie Reus

Title: Retribution
Author: Katie Reus
Series: None

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

She sees brief glimpses of the future…
Nika and Alena Brennan will do anything to kill a vicious Russian crime boss and they’re using his only son to get to him. Yet when the time comes to execute their plan, psychic Nika hesitates due to an unexpected entanglement with sexy security expert Declan Gallagher. When her sister is kidnapped and all their carefully laid plans go awry, Nika must depend on Declan and her mortal enemy’s son to get her sister back.
He invades her dreams and teases her with sensual pleasures…
As a dream walker, Declan is capable of seeing anyone’s innermost thoughts as they sleep. With Nika, however, he finds himself playing a deadly, seductive game. He knows she’s not who she says she is and he’s determined to find out the real reason she’s in Miami before she gets herself or someone else killed.
Time is running out…
Nika’s window of opportunity is closing to save her sister and find a way to protect their secrets without landing them both in jail. With innocent lives at stake, Nika must decide if the retribution she’s waited a lifetime for is worth losing the man who has won her heart.

Nika and Alena Brennan will have their revenge even though it comes at a high price.

After witnessing their parents’ brutal murder, Alena has vowed to avenge them. With the help of her psychic sister, Nika, they have managed to eliminate three of their targets but there’s still one more to go, the man who ordered the hit against their parents. But to get close to him they will have to get close to his son, Andre. Nika has a bad feeling about their latest plan. It sounds easy but can they really pull through with something like that?

Former CIA agent and owner of a private security firm, Declan is tasked with protecting Andre and eliminate any threat against him. But Declan has a secret, he is a dream walker. So when Andre shows up with the two beautiful sisters thought to have killed three powerful men, Declan knows that he will have to look beneath the surface, especially since he can’t stay away from Nika.

Nika thought that Declan was just a projection of her imagination, the man who invades her dreams. She never would have imagined that he was real. Until they meet in Miami. The chemistry between them is off the charts but Nika can’t allow him to mess up with their plans. At the same time though she can’t but wonder if what they are about to do will cost them their lives.

Retribution was an amazing book. It was an action packed book with romance, mystery, suspense, twists and a touch of paranormal. Nika and Declan were such an awesome couple. They were strong, protective, a bit hesitant at first but as soon as they find out more about each other, fireworks.

There is so much action and suspense to the story. Nika and Alena are a step away from their last target, they know they mustn’t hesitate but they never thought they would face such distractions. I really can’t be satisfied with the end though. Nika and Declan’s story was a beautiful one but what about Alena and Andre? Andre knows that Alena used him to get to his father but for him their brief relationship was real. I really hope their get their own story and find their HEA.

Retribution is a must read. How can you not read a book with such a cover?

Highly recommended!

ARC Review: Chasing Danger (Deadly Ops #2.5) by Katie Reus

Title: Chasing Danger
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Deadly Ops #2.5

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

She feels so connected to him and safe but how can she trust him?

Whew! That was quite a journey! Action packed, full of suspense and romance Chasing Danger will keep you at the edge of your seat.

This is a novella so I can’t really complain about the length. I don’t actually have anything to complain about. Hannah was a strong, young woman, who despite her not so easy past managed to fulfill her dreams whilst Dax was such an alpha male. Protective, determined, willing to do whatever it takes to protect what’s his. At the same time though, he was really sweet and funny. The chemistry between them was exploding and they shared a special bond.

I just wish the book was a bit longer. Hannah and Dax were an amazing couple and I really fell for them.

Totally recommended!

ARC Review: Beyond the Darkness (Darkness #3) by Katie Reus

Title: Beyond the Darkness
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Darkness #3

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N 

Now that she has her freedom, she’s not giving it up.Dragon shifter Keelin Petronilla spent centuries in forced hibernation dreaming of one thing: freedom. Now she’s living life on her terms—she’s ditched her clan for an unruly wolf pack, she tends bar for a half-demon, and she’s loving it…until a powerful supernatural being targets her. She intends to handle the mysterious attacks on her own…without the help of dragon Alpha Bran Devlin. Sure, he’s sexy in that hot, scowling possessive way, but Keelin wants to live her own life in her own way.
Now that he’s found his mate, he’s not letting her go.Former black ops agent Bran Devlin is a born dragon Alpha and leader of a fierce clan. Getting mated was never part of his plan—until a feisty dragon princess gets under his skin in a big way. The hell of it is, she doesn’t want a mate; she just wants to have a good time. He plays along, but when a dark and powerful being marks her for death, he’s determined to stay by her side in spite of her protests. Now that he’s found his mate, he means to keep her safe no matter what the cost…even if he has to risk it all.

Finally!!!

The third book in the Darkness series by the amazing Katie Reus, tells the story of two dragon shifters. If you’ve read Taste of Darkness, then you already know Keelin, Drake’s sister and Bran, the alpha of his clan. While I was reading the previous book, Taste of Darkness, I really wanted to find out more about them, especially Keelin and Bran as a couple, and now I have finally gotten the story I was waiting for.

After been guilted by her parents into going into hibernation for a very long time, aka centuries, Keelin wakes up to fall in love with the modern world. She has been “babied” all of her life and the only thing she desires, is her freedom. As the youngest child in her family and after losing a child, her parents were overprotective. No longer though!

From the first glimpse, he knew she was his!

Bran may be the alpha of his clan but everyone knows that it was never a position he wanted to have. He never thought the moment would come to have his mate. What he doesn’t know though, is that Keelin has no intention to mate now that she has found her freedom! Bran is on a mission to win her heart and failure is not an option.

Beyond the Darkness was enthralling! Bran and Keelin had a deep connection and a sizzling chemistry. Keelin wanted to spread her wings and she did by “taking a break” from her clan and moving in with her brother’s clan, the Stavros pack. Although her reasons were pretty good, I have to admit that she totally misjudged Bran and his motives. Bran wanted indeed to protect her but he would never “suffocate” her. He treated he as an equal because that’s what he saw in her, his other half.

When a dangerous threat surfaces, Bran will do everything to keep her safe.

Just as every Katie Reus book, this one was amazing. I loved Bran and Keelin’s romance but what I loved more was the secondary characters and especially Bo and Nyx (two new characters). We also got to see many old characters such as Finn and Lyra, Vega, Drake and Victoria. They were all incredible and a lot of fun to read.

Another stunning read. You won’t regret meeting Bran and Keelin!

Totally recommended!

ARC Review: Hunter Reborn (Moon Shifter #5) by Katie Reus

Title: Hunter Reborn
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Moon Shifter #5

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

Losing her was the hardest thing he’d ever endured...

Warrior shifter Aiden’s investigation of the trafficking of vampire blood leads to a startling discovery: the beautiful vampire bondmate he thought was dead. Decades ago, they’d defied their powerful families to be together, but then Larissa disappeared without a trace. When their mating link broke, it nearly destroyed Aiden. Now she’s back with no memory of where she’s been. Even more shattering—Larissa claims she has no idea who Aiden is.
Now she’s back...

It’s a race against time to bring down an operation more evil than his pack ever suspected, and Aiden finds himself working side by side with a mate who no longer trusts him—and she wants out. But he lost her once, and he won’t let her go again. Unfortunately, Larissa’s blood is the key to a powerful monster’s dangerous plan—and he’ll stop at nothing to destroy her, sparking off a war between the supernaturals and humans that no one will win.

Hunter Reborn is the 5th book in the Moon Shifter series by Katie Reus and tells the story of Aiden Nicholl, a werewolf shifter and Larissa Danesti, a natural born royal vampire.

All Aiden ever wanted was his mate. So, when he finally found her, he couldn’t believe how lucky he was until she was taken from him. Now, sixty years later, Aiden can only but remember what his bond to Larissa felt like. Her loss left him bare. How can a man recover from such loss? Finding a new pack, gives Aiden some hope but can’t replace the yearning in his heart. Until the night that changes everything…

On a mission to find the ones responsible for trafficking vampire blood, Aiden and his pack visit one of the most popular vampire clubs. Everyone knows what they should be looking for and that’s not a vampire that looks like Larissa. Aiden can’t help himself but follow the woman who looks exactly like his dead mate. Larissa and he are face to face when their old bond reactivates. The force of the bond is so powerful that Larissa is knocked out while Aiden seems unable to control his wolf. But for a while everything and everyone is forgotten because for a while his mate is back!

After been awaked from a sixty years stasis by a witch (who claims to be her friend), Larissa has many questions but most importantly she feels that she is forgetting something or someone. So when she bonds with the wolf rumored to have killed her parents, Larissa needs some answers and fast.

But is she ready to face the truth that was taken from her?

Hunter Reborn was a beautiful book. It was about second chances, a deep love that managed to survive through the ages and finally it was a story that healed. Aiden thought he got his mate back and he once again became the carefree man he was, only to be crashed again by Larissa’s lack of memories. Their bond was back but Aiden needed to claim her again, his Larissa. Much as he wanted to claim her, he had to earn her trust first and help her remember the love they once shared.

I fell in love with this book, with Aiden and the love that never weakened. Beautiful, magical and enthralling! That’s what this book was. We got to see Aiden and Larissa making new memories but the author didn’t neglect to give us glimpses of the life they shared. It was amazing seeing how they met, how they fell in love and how they claimed each other. Their stubbornness, their determination, their fierceness and their love made this story so exceptional.

But not for a minute think that this is just a romance. We get action, suspense, a bit of mystery, twists and turns and amazing secondary characters. Some we already know and some are new. We get to see Connor and Anna, Vivian and Lucas (little cuties), Jayce and Kat, Ryan and Teresa (new couple on the horizon) and Natalia. One character I didn’t expect to see was Jayce’s brother, Aldric. Aldric makes his appearance here and although I didn’t like him that much in the beginning, I can say that he wasn't the bad guy I thought him to be.

I really liked this book! Highly recommended!

ARC Review: Deadly Fallout (Red Stone Security #10) by Katie Reus

Title: Deadly Fallout
Author: Katie Reus
Series: Red Stone Security #10

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N

Zoe’s stalker has been murdered…
Dr. Zoe Hansen was forced to leave her beloved hospital job to escape a stalker. It worked—or so she thought. She’s terrified when he reappears in her life one night—and stunned when he turns up viciously murdered soon after. She’s arrested for the crime, but she quickly clears her name. Unfortunately, her problems are far from over. She’ll have to accept the protection of the one man she shouldn’t want.
…now she’s in more danger than ever before.
Former Navy SEAL Sawyer McCabe might not know the gorgeous Zoe as well as he wants to, but he knows all about trouble. So when she's threatened, he steps in to help her regardless of the consequences and gets her out of town. But it’s not enough to escape a determined killer. As the danger closes in they have to trust each other if they want to stay alive. And Sawyer’s determined to do whatever it takes to keep Zoe safe and in his arms. Because Zoe is worth risking everything for.

Deadly Fallout is the 10th book in the RSS series and tells the story of Zoe, Vincent’s sister (we got his story in the 7th book in the series) and Sawyer McCabe, an RSS employee and former SEAL.

Zoe is a doctor who works at the same hospital with her stalker. As things weren’t already bad, she knows who her stalker is, a fellow married doctor. When Zoe makes it clear that she’s not interested, he takes it quite badly and goes as far to spread a rumor that he and Zoe are in a relationship. But Zoe has had enough. She gets a restraining order and quits her job at the hospital.

Her life seems to be in order again when suddenly her stalker reappears. Zoe doesn’t know what else to do except “hide” in Mina and Blue’s house. But what she doesn’t expect is to find Sawyer in their house.

Sawyer could never forget Zoe. So, when they meet again and she pretends not to know him, he takes that personally. After finding out about her stalker though, the only thing he wants is to protect her.

This book was great. I liked Sawyer and Zoe as a couple. I had a few problems with Zoe but I managed to overlook them as the story progressed. It’s just that after everything she has been through you would expect her to be more guarded. So, when she made the first move with Sawyer, I was surprised. Sawyer was a nice guy. He was smart, sexy, strong, protective and a very realistic character. The author never once overestimated his abilities. She didn’t present him as a hero but as protector.

Deadly Fallout was n amazing boon but again it was kind of short. There were twists and turns, the plot was interesting and the attraction between the main characters was scorching.

Totally recommended!
