Wolf on the Hunt (Salvation Pack #5) by N.J. Walters

In the hunt for love, there’s no going halfway.

Salvation Pack, Book 5

Drawn to Salvation by her passion for nature, Gray Everson’s looking forward to some peace and quiet to work on her paintings. She didn’t expect hunters shooting up the forest around the cabin she rented. And she certainly didn’t expect to find a wounded wolf.

It’s only after Gray sends the hunters packing that she realizes the creature hidden in her cabin is no ordinary wolf. He’s a ruggedly handsome man with an extraordinary ability Gray thought only existed in fiction.

Louis LaForge has given up on finding a mate and channels all his energy into protecting his pack. But his instant attraction to a skittish artist is more than simple lust. There’s something about Gray he just can’t put his finger on—until he gets close enough to touch her.

Louis is sure of what he wants, but pushing Gray too far, too fast is risky. The hunters aren’t going away peacefully, and Louis’s former pack is coming for him. When the final battle comes, there will be only one way to protect everyone he loves.

Warning: Contains an artist who has a secret even she doesn’t know she’s hiding, and a werewolf who’s resigned to being lonely—until she fills his life with vibrant colour.

I received a copy of Wolf on the Hunt in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely adore N.J. Walters and the Salvation pack series. I have loved poor Louis right from the beginning of the series and i am so happy to see him finally meet his mate. Not only is Grey his mate but she is also his match in every possible way. She is a strong, independent woman who longs for love and a family. She certainly finds it in the LaForge family. 

This is the end of the line for the big bad wolf, the Salvation boys and their mates are all getting ready for the big showdown. Everything I have been waiting for since Wolf at the Door comes together in a big explosion filled with action, suspense and a whole lot of romance. There is also the addition of a very friends dog that made my heart completely melt. 

N.J. Waters writing is fantastic as usual and Wolf on the hunt is really a wonderful book that I just could not put down from beginning to end.

Cover Reveal + Giveaway Blitz for THE DARKEST TORMENT by Gena Showalter

Get ready for the 12th and most epic book in the Lords of the Underworld series yet, THE DARKEST TORMENT, available May 31, 2016! I think we can all agree on one thing: #BadenIsHot!

Click HERE to read a note from Gena on why she chose to write about Baden.

Here is your first glimpse at what THE DARKEST TORMENT is all about:

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with her most explosive Lords of the Underworld tale to date, about a fierce warrior on the brink of sanity who will stop at nothing to claim the exquisite human with the power to soothe the beast inside him... 

Driven to his death by the demon of Distrust, Baden spent centuries in purgatory. Now he's back, but at what cost? Bound to the king of the underworld, an even darker force, he's unable to withstand the touch of another...and he's quickly devolving into a heartless assassin with an uncontrollable temper. Things only get worse when a mission goes awry and he finds himself saddled with a bride—just not his own.  

Famed dog trainer Katarina Joelle is forced to marry a monster to protect her loved ones. When she's taken hostage by the ruthless, beautiful Baden immediately after the ceremony, she's plunged into a war between two evils—with a protector more dangerous than the monsters he hunts. They are meant to be enemies, but neither can resist the passion burning between them...and all too soon the biggest threat is to her heart.
But as Baden slips deeper into the abyss, she'll have to teach him to love...or lose him forever.

ALASDAIR by Ella Frank

A DANGEROUS ALLURE
Bestowed with eternal life by the Ancient Vasilios, Alasdair Kyriakous is one of the most feared and ruthless vampires in existence. His name carries weight across all of the seven continents. 

But he is a mystery to his kind, an anomaly among the self-indulgent. While he enjoys the pleasures of the flesh, he is exceptionally particular in his choice of partners and prides himself on his ironclad self-control.

Yet with one look his control will become a thing of the past, and Alasdair will discover that eternal life doesn’t always last forever…

A DEADLY ATTRACTION
Thrust into a world he could never have imagined, Leo Chapel awakens in his worst nightmare. Taken hostage by the dangerously mesmerizing vampire, Alasdair, Leo must rely on his intelligence to escape before he reveals a secret he isn’t even aware he’s hiding.

A FORBIDDEN DESIRE
Unaware that they’ve been brought together by an outside force and are little more than pawns to a higher power, Alasdair and Leo spend time trying to uncover the other’s secrets, the attraction between them growing stronger all the while. 

But enemies are watching and preparing to act against them. When decisions that will alter lives and destinies have to be made—can a dead, grey heart learn to beat again?

I received a copy of Alasdair  in exchange for an honest review.

Ella Frank strikes again. Alasdair is absolutely extraordinary from beginning to end. Frank has one of the most sensational writing voices i have ever come across, with characters that practically come alive on the page and leave your emotions scattered amongst the pages of your kindle. 

Alasdair himself is a remarkable character complete with good looks, charm and arrogance. However, there is a strange vulnerability to him that inevitably makes him endearing to the reader and has you wishing for more. 

Leo is a wonderful opposite to Alasdair, relying on his intelligence and his uniqueness to muddle his way through the strange turn his life has taken. He has the emotional strength to persevere and keep his wits about him in such a confusing situation whilst easily accepting his growing feelings towards Alasdair. 

I can not recommend this stunning, unbelievable, phenomenal book enough. This is part of a series so i shall warn you that there in a cliff hanger at the end yet it is completely worth the emotional turmoil you will be in until the next book is released. Ella frank is an outstanding author and every book that she writes is complete stardust.

Base Instincts A Demonica Story by Larissa Ione

As a Seminus demon, Raze’s life literally depends on having sex with females. The problem is that he doesn’t desire females, and it’s physically impossible for him to be with males. Thankfully, he and his best friend, Fayle, have an arrangement that keeps him alive . . . if lonely. He finds some solace in his work as a medic at Thirst, a vampire club known for its rough clientele. But his carefully structured world turns upside down when he meets a mysterious male who makes him want what he can never have.

Slake is an assassin used to getting what he wants, and what he wants is Raze. But he also wants to earn back the soul he sold when he was a much different demon. All he has to do is capture a runaway succubus named Fayle and hand her over to her family. What he doesn’t count on is being caught himself by a web of lies—and his attraction to Raze.

Raze and Slake must navigate a dangerous world to be together. But as Fayle’s jealousy of their relationship turns deadly, they find themselves embroiled in a battle not only for their love, but their lives and souls.

I received a copy of Base Instincts by Larissa Ione in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely adored this book as i have every other Larissa Ione novel. The difference with this one was that it was a M/M romance and i find that Ione has written Slake and Raze's story perfectly. Base Instincts is full of action, romance and hot scenes that scorched the pages of my kindle. 

This book was truly phenomenal, every character was complex and felt completely real leaving me wholeheartedly invested in every word of this book. As well as some extraordinary new characters you also get to see some of the other characters from previous books. I especially did a little happy dance when we got to see the hospital and my favourite band of paranormal brothers again. 

Raze is such a heartbreaking character as you read what he has had to endure because of his species and you constantly wish for only good things to happen for him. Slake is his perfect equal doing anything to keep Raze safe and going all alpha male when anyone hurts him.

I can't even begin to find the words to tell you how breathtaking this book really is and I hope you get a copy as soon as you can.

Her Stepbrothers are Demons by Trinity Blacio

Alex Cander had her life all planned out – mom married off, check. Police academy graduation (all done in secret) – double check. Assigned to one of the biggest cases in her county – triple check. 

Yet Alex knew this smooth ride couldn’t last long. 

Sure enough all hell breaks loose, literally, when her stepfather asks her to help his sons get acquainted to their surroundings. Not only were her supposed stepbrothers claiming her as theirs, but it turns out they are demons. On top of this, she learns that her own grandparents weren’t even human? 

And that’s no even the half of it! 

A being called Darkness has stepped forward claiming her as well. Now she is mated to three demons that not only control her every movement, but also her heart…someone pinch her please. 

A sexy Feast for the eyes. A new take on a paranormal romance that had me utterly enthralled! Trinity Blacio is definitely going to be on my authors to watch out for list. A menage romance with a twist that had me on the edge of my seat. The story never takes it where you expect it to and I absolutely loved some of the twists Blacio surprised me with.

The Alpha's Hunger by Renee Rose

Lying on the floor of her cubicle to stave off a migraine while working late, the last thing Ashley Bell expected was to open her eyes and find the company's notoriously hard-assed owner and CEO, Ben Stone, standing over her. The offer of a ride home is a bigger surprise, but the biggest shock of all comes when Ben asks her to work for him as his personal assistant.

Despite some misgivings about his intentions, Ashley accepts the position, but she has barely started the job when a phone call turns her life on its head. Her twin sister has been kidnapped, and the price for her life is Ashley's help in a secret plot to destroy Ben's company. But she soon discovers that Ben has a far more terrifying secret of his own.

From the moment he first crossed paths with Ashley, the beautiful young human from marketing, Ben has been consumed by her. When her life is threatened by his enemies he casts aside caution and fights with the rage of a beast defending his mate. Not sure he can trust her, yet determined to protect her, Ben kidnaps Ashley, planning to keep her under his watch for as long as necessary.

Ashley is none too happy with the situation, but a hard bare-bottom spanking changes her attitude... and leaves her begging for more. Though Ben knows a human girl is no match for the fearsome lusts of an alpha wolf, she ignites in him a hunger he can barely contain. Can he resist the urge to mark her as his own and take her harder than she can imagine?

I received a copy of The Alpha's Hunger in exchange for an honest review. I loved  this book. 

Alpha's Hunger had everything you could want in a paranormal book. There was hot romance, the right amount of drama and scenes that practically smouldered on the pages. 

Ashley and Ben are interesting characters with good backstories that are explained in enough detail that the book never felt rushed. Then you get the seriously hot scenes that had me blushing like a school girl and screaming at the kindle "Bite Me!" I can't wait to read more books by Renee Rose as she is now one of my top favourite paranormal writers.

Alpha Unleashed by Aileen Erin

Tessa McCaide has had it up to here with supernaturals. Luciana may have failed to steal Tessa’s magic, but she’s just getting started on her crusade for magical domination. If her demonic summoning isn’t stopped, it could mean the end of everything.

Tessa’s allies, including her mate Dastien, are ready to fight, but they’re no match for Luciana’s power. A little help (and ancient Inca mojo) from Tessa’s cousin, Claudia, may give the side of good a chance if she can make it home in time, but stopping the war is no longer an option.

When witches and wolves fight, no one wins. Only time will tell who will still be standing after the last spell is cast.

I received an copy of Alpha Unleashed in exchanged for an honest review and what a fantastic end to an amazing series! The Alpha Girl series has absolutely everything you could want in a book. There is action, romance, magic and an entire army of amazing characters. The journey Tessa and Dastien have been on is truly astonishing as they have been a completely solid couple despite the trials they have faced. This final book in the current story arc is just full of excitement and had me glued to my Kindle until the early hours of the morning.

Tessa is such a fantastic, strong heroine who displays so much bravery and loyalty its a complete pleasure to read. Aileen Erin is a wonderful author who has managed to capture every characters idiosyncrasies with ease with not a single boring moment in the series.

I have loved these books since Becoming Alpha the first in the series. If you haven't read the previous books I sincerely hope you do so now, and if you have then you must purchase Alpha Unleashed:

ARC Angel Dares by Joss Stirling

Angel is impulsive. Disguising her savant ability to control water doesn't come easily to her. Then she meets the broodingly handsome Marcus at a music festival where they're both performing, and finds herself all at sea. For when he sings, her soul answers with its own music. Like the tide, their mutual attraction cannot be held back, but Marcus's mistrust of Angel's gift is even stronger. How can they ever be together if Marcus is unable to accept who Angel is or what they could mean to each other? And with the net closing in on the Savant community it's time for everyone to choose a side. 

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Angel Dares by Joss Stirling and i'm delighted to say her books just keep getting better. Angel Dares is an amazing continuation in the Benedict series. It's full of romance, fun, action and with that subtle paranormal hint that Stirling has perfected. Angel is such a strong heroine with a lively personality that makes her stand out from the previous heroines in the series. We also get to see more of our favourite savant brothers as they continue to search for their soulfinders, and we are introduced to Angel's soul finder the rockstar Marcus. 

Marcus and Angel have their fair share of obstacles to overcome in order to be together, but it's utterly enthralling to read the development of their relationship and how they grow up  and reflect on their actions throughout the book. Once you finish reading you will feel like you have been on a complete journey with each of the characters as they are written so wonderfully and have their own individual personalities that shine on the page. 

I can't recommend this book enough to everyone as this story is absolutely captivating. If you haven't read the other books in this series, i would suggest you go purchase Finding Sky right now and start this amazing journey as I'm positive you won't be disappointed. 

This title will be released on October 1, 2015.

ARC Wolf from the Past (Salvation Pack) by N.J. Walters

Playing dead is easy. Living is hard.

Sylvie LaForge Dubois knew coming back from the dead wouldn’t be easy, but facing her brother and his friends is harder than she imagined. The way Gator Rollins watches her every move makes her decidedly uneasy and excited.

After surviving a forced mating to the abusive Andre Dubois, having a rugged, dangerous werewolf like Gator sniffing around her is scary and thrilling at the same time. She never imagined she’d want another man, but her bone-deep attraction to Gator is too strong to fight.

Gator never got a chance to tell Sylvie he loved her before she was mated with another and, well, died. Now that she’s back, there’s nothing he won’t do to protect her.

Once word gets out, Sylvie’s former pack will be coming for her. No one leaves the Louisiana pack, especially not a female werewolf. But Gator’s determined that this time he won’t let anyone or anything get between him and Sylvie, even if she can’t decide if his touch makes her want to jump his bones…or run for the hills.

Warning: If you believe in second chances, this story will rock your soul, make you swoon, and bring tears to your eyes. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review of Wolf from the past, the latest book in the Salvation pack series. 

What can I say about this book except that N.J. Walters has done it again! Gator and Sylvie's  story is stunning. It's a beautiful story that had me hooked from beginning to end. Walters has a fantastic way of making each character individual and you never feel like she is repeating the same thing in her books. Sylvie is such a damaged character at the beginning of this story and Gator's strength and patience had me falling in love with both of them.  Gator is such an Alpha Male that there were plenty of moments in this book i had to stop and reach for a glass of water and a fan. 

"Come back." he whispered against her ear. She shivers as his hot breath skimmer over the outer shell. "Wherever you've gone, come back to me."

There has been a running storyline throughout all of this series involving the danger of the boys old pack and that progresses wonderfully throughout.  There is lots of drama, action and plenty of hilarious moments that kept the book moving at a fast pace and i didn't want this book to end at all! It looks like there is going to be some major explosions happening in Wolf on the Hunt and i'm so excited to see what happens to these amazing characters next.

This book definitely deserves 5 stars as I couldn't put it down from the second i received it.
