Synopsis:

Brett Dalton, Alpha of Hudson River, isolated himself from his pack mates after one betrayed him. The once, easygoing Alpha has become taciturn, remote and unforgiving. His pack worries for him, but they too have suffered a devastating blow. When several members leave to join Three Rivers, the pack faces the threat of dissolution until Brett's best friend and Lone Wolf, Luc Danes returns to Hudson River accompanied by a beautiful young human—or is she? Something about the woman consumes Brett. Has Luc come home to help or to take the pack from Brett?

Colby Jenson wrapped up thousands of hours of community service working at the hospital in Maine when an injured Luc Danes rolled through the door. The impossible patient drove the nurses crazy, but when Danes offered her money no strings attached to drive him to New York, she agreed. The last thing she expected was to arrive in the small Westchester County town and to meet the craziest collection of residents—especially the devastatingly sexy Brett Dalton. Part of her wants to hit the road, the rest wants to make him smile and he keeps making excuses for her to stay.

Then she sees the wolves...and is exposed to a world she can barely imagine. When Brett discovers a secret about her, nothing will be the same again. Now she will find herself torn between a world she isn't sure she can understand and the man who has taken her heart hostage...

“Long dished out a lot of unexpected twists and turns and did a great job tying it all together. The build-up and bits of action kept me up late at night flipping the pages.” – Booked & Loaded

 

"ROGUE WOLF is a fast paced, intriguing look into the world of shifters. Salvatore is old world a bit stodgy and Margo is very much new world and on top of that a lone wolf and Enforcer. How is it possible that these two could be mates? In author Heather Long's vivid and fun imagination it's very easy." - Fresh Fiction

 

"BAYOU WOLF is in a word ... amazing. All the reader can do is hold on for the ride and enjoy the fireworks." - Fresh Fiction

 

“If you love sexy wolf shifters, sweet love stories and action then you have to pick up UNTAMED WOLF by Heather Long.” - Annetta Sweetko, Fresh Fiction

Excerpt from River Wolf:

So not ready to be awake…

A knock on the door intruded in her drifting and she groaned. Dammit, she was a guest. She couldn’t stay in bed all day. In fact, what she needed to do was get up, shower, dress and get her ass on the road. Florida seemed a hell of a long way to go, though. Rolling over, she shoved the blankets away then climbed out of the bed. Glaring at the light between the curtains, she rubbed a hand over her face, then stumbled to the door.

Opening it a crack, she gazed at her host. Goddammit. He looked perfect. Dressed in a clean, nicely pressed shirt with the top two buttons open to reveal the faint curls of dark against his chest and smelling like heaven, he looked good enough to eat. His hair wasn’t even damp, though it fell in a soft wave toward his forehead. He’d been up long enough to shower and dress—and he wore a smile.

“Ugh,” she sighed. “Please God tell me you are not one of those happy morning people.”

The corner of his sensual mouth quirked higher. The effect on his expression devastated her sleepy senses. No human should ever look so damn good without coffee. The combination of rake and boy next door added to his appeal, but the trace of scars and mottled skin gave him a ruggedness she desperately wanted to smooth away. “I woke you.”

“Not exactly,” she admitted, rubbing her cheek against the door and leaning on it a little more heavily. Everything ached and she wanted to go back to sleep. “I’m used to getting by on a lot less sleep.” And rolling out of bed to go to work for eight hour shifts that as often as not turned into ten to twelve hours on her feet. “I think I am tireder than I thought.” She yawned the last three words, and when she glanced at him again, his expression softened.

Extending a finger, he traced the line of her cheek and it was a soothing motion, one which had her eyes half-closing in pleasure. “Go back to bed, Colby.” His voice washed over her. “I’ll be in my office working.”

“I can’t laze about in bed all day.” No matter how good it sounded.

“Why not?”

“Because…” She had to go to Florida or at least say her goodbyes. She was a guest and not even an intentional one.  “…Luc. I should probably check on him.”

“He’s fine, the doctor is with him.” The indulgence in his voice evaporated, but the steadiness in his tone remained. “Go sleep. When you wake up, come find me. We’ll have coffee.”

Tempting. So. So. Tempting. “I’m up now…but coffee sounds like heaven. Really, really strong coffee.”

“Double pot? I made one, I can run it through again.”

Colby groaned at the idea. Now that he’d mentioned it, she could smell the coffee. It proved even more alluring than the sweet vanilla and jasmine entwining the pine of his cologne on her pillow. Releasing the door to stretch, she would have thumped her tail if she’d had one. “Yes, please. If it wouldn’t be too much to ask.”

Silence greeted her comment, and she found Brett gazing at her. Rapt admiration in his eyes as he trailed his gaze down her body and up again.

Fuck me… She still only wore a t-shirt and panties and she’d just given him a show. “Crap. Sorry.” Slamming the door shut, she leaned against it. Adrenaline burned through the remaining traces of sleepiness, adrenaline and a healthy dose of lust. Having him look at her like that warmed inside and out.

“Please,” his voice stroked her through the door. “Don’t apologize. I’ll go fix the coffee. Come and find me.”

The invitation had her toes curling and she bit her lip. “I will,” she said, then added in a low whisper. “I promise.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

A shiver skated over her spine and she closed her eyes. Maybe she should have invited him inside to go back to bed with her. Inappropriate as hell, and impulsive, but she bet Brett would wake her even better than the coffee.

He already has…


My Review:
While this is the first in this series that I've read from Heather Long it wont be my last. Fast paced, sexy, with some action, it made for a fun read.
I really like Colby. She's sassy and fierce with a smart mouth.  She balanced Brett's seriousness really well. Brett is really sweet too. He comes off very strict and serious but he has a playful side and really loves his pack. Both Coby and him have been hurt in the past and it was nice watching them help each other heal and open up to one another.
It stood alone really well for being part of a series. The author explained enough so that the reader wont be lost coming into this one. I do plan on going back and reading the rest of the series to find out more about other characters and how some of the relationships came about. I also cant wait to get a story for Luc. He's quite the character and had me laughing at his antics.
A great read for fans of paranormal romance. I'd definitely recommend checking this and Heather Long's other books out.

Spotlight & Review: Divine Passion by Valerie Twombly


Divine Passion
by Valerie Twombly
Genre: Paranormal Romance 



Baal is a demon that likes to make his own rules and the thought of being tied down to only one woman makes his skin itch. When he rescues the human Ranata from becoming a sacrificial lamb, he gets more than he bargained for. With Hades insisting his fate is to bond with the beautiful female, he can either resist or risk losing his heart. 

One minute Ranata is tending bar in a small hole in the wall, and the next she fears for her life. When a sexy demon comes along and saves the day, his golden eyes and hard body make him difficult to resist. With her sister in the clutches of the enemy, she must plan a daring rescue. Fate however, has other plans. Will she choose the path destiny has laid out for her?

My Review:
Fast paced and full of action. This was one sexy and fun read! Full of all kinds of paranormal creatures it made for an interesting world.
This is the first in the series that I've read and it stood alone pretty well. Parts of it were a bit confusing but I followed along for the most part.
I love Baal. He's snarky and so full of himself but you cant help but love him and want to break through his layers. He lost someone he loved in the past and wont give up his heart again. Ranata was fearless. For being thrust into this world and finding out about her true self, she held it together really well. I loved how she was willing to fight and help these people that she didn't know. They made for a great team and explosive couple.
I definitely plan on going back and reading the rest of the series. It is a very intriguing world that the author made and I look forward to finding out more.

My Review:
 This was such a sweet and easy read. A beautiful love story with strong characters and a great storyline.
Erica and Thorne are both battling demons from their pasts and neither want a relationship but cant help be drawn towards one another.
I love how strong and determined Erica was. She's in a male dominated field but wasn't going to let that deter her from her goals. Her and Thorne balanced each other out very well and I was so glad when they finally started letting their walls down and each other in.
 The authors writing flowed very well and made for a really great read.

Spotlight & Review: When an Omega Snaps by Eve Langlais


When An Omega Snaps
by Eve Langlais
Genre: Paranormal Romance



Leo is the calm guy. The nice guy. The one nobody screws with. So could someone explain that to Meena so she stops driving him insane—with desire.
When Meena literally throws herself at Leo and declares he’s her mate, his first reaction is to deny—and run far, far away. This lion/tiger mix doesn’t do drama and chaos. Problem is, once he sets eyes on her, he can’t help but want the vivacious blonde with plus-sized curves, perfect for a big man like himself.
He wants her even if it breaks all his rules when it comes to women.
Wants her even if she destroys his serenity.
Wants her more than a perfectly grilled piece of steak with a dash of garlic, pepper, and salt.
Thing is, someone else wants her too.


This poor omega is about to have his world turned upside down, which means everyone better watch out because when Leo experiences love, jealousy, and frustration for the first time, he doesn’t just snap—he roars!

My Review:

Ha! I seriously adore Eve Langlais. Another read from her that had me laughing out loud and just completely hooked!
I loved Leo from the previous books and was excited to get his story. Meena.. she is just fricken AWESOME! If anything bad can happen it will happen to her. I adore her craziness and sense of humor.
The two of them balance each other so well. Leo's calmess to Meena's chaos. The chemistry between them was great and so much fun to watch Leo's struggles with Meena's mishaps.
I cant wait to get the next book in this series! If you love a good romantic comedy with some paranormal definitely check out Eve's books! 
 

Hello, my name is Eve and I am a Canadian author who loves to write hot romance, usually with werewolves, cyborgs or aliens.
I should warn you that I possess a twisted imagination and a sarcastic sense of humor something I like to let loose in my writing. I enjoy strong alpha males, and shifters. Lots of big, overprotective shifters. I am also extremely partial to aliens, the kind who like to abduct humans and then drive them insane...with pleasure. Do you like something a little darker? Then check out my cyborgs whose battle with humanity have captivated readers worldwide.

I love to write, and while I don't always know what my mind is going to come up with next, I can promise it will be fun, probably humorous and most of all romantic, because I love a happily ever after.

Paranormal Dating Agency Book 7 - STANDALONE

BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance

Curvy Charlotte Marzan just got invited to visit another planet. A shifter planet where her best friend is getting married to a lion king. If that isn’t strange enough, two panty-melting hot guys are looking at this big girl like she’s a piece of cake and they haven’t had dessert in years. She shouldn’t be interested, but…girls just want to have fun, right?

Brecc and Eros need a mate before the Elders force someone on them. They’re getting desperate and in the process hire Gerri to find them a woman. She delivers curvy, outspoken, and gloriously sexy Charlotte. Now they just have to get her to stay. Forever. Simple. Not.

When Charlotte’s visit turns from cool sightseeing to getting her freak on with two shifters, things take a turn for the naughty. She needs to figure out why Brecc is so distant and why the drama with the Dragos. Things escalate to the point she has to do her own growling to be heard. She’s about to realize when two wolves choose a mate, there’s no escape.

Reader Note: This book contains scorching hot sex (the down and dirrrty kind made just for three), adult language (we like some freaky dirty talk), and verbal smack downs. If this is not the kind of stuff you like to read, skip this book. However, if you like dirty, raunchy sex with not one, but TWO sexy as sin wolves on one curvy sarcastic girl, then this is right up your alley. Enjoy!
 

 
 
My Review:
Woof Woof! Where can I find me a couple of wolf shifter mates?
I completely adore this series from Milly Taiden. She brings each book to a whole new level. She's so descriptive that you feel like you are actually there.
I love how sassy and strong Charlotte is. She's been hurt in the past but no more. She wont let anyone bring her down. Brecc and Eros are a perfect pair. They balance each other really well and Charlotte fits them perfectly. AND OMG is the sex smokin' hot with a side of wet panties!!!
The PDA is one of my favorites of Milly's and I'm super excited for the next story! All of her books are magically delicious... oh wait that's Lucky Charms, but its fitting for this series too!
 
 
About Milly:

Spotlight & Giveaway: Meet the Shaughnessy Brothers from Samantha Chase

 
This month, bestselling author Samantha Chase launches her new contemporary romance series the Shaughnessy Brothers. In the series starter, MADE FOR US, readers are introduced to the five amazing Shaughnessy brothers–each more successful than the last. From a building contractor, to a scientist, to a former racecar driver, and even a rock star, these brothers are as different as can be, but also extremely close. Losing their mother early in their lives solidified the brotherly bond and helping raise their baby sister also brought them together. But with their sister raised and careers in order it is time for the next phase in their lives. And while these brothers might not be looking for happily-ever-afters, romance is looking for them! Below get to know each of these sexy Shaughnessys starting with Aidan from MADE FOR US.
 
Name: Aidan Shaughnessy
Occupation:  Building Contractor                             
Height: 6’2
Hair Color:  Dark Brown               
Eye Color: Blue
Age: 34
 
What makes you the perfect date?
 
No one – including myself – has ever said that!  But if I had to say something, it would be that I like to take care of all the details so that my date doesn’t have to worry about a thing.
 
What do you look for in a woman?
 
Typically someone strong and independent but also enjoys being taken care of.
 
Describe yourself in 100 words or less: 
 
I’m a bit of a control freak – or so I’ve been told!  I’m hard working and know exactly what I want out of life.  I can be quiet and observant – a bit of a people watcher.  I don’t enjoy crowds very much.  I prefer if I’m out, to be out in a small group or with one person.
 
***
 
Name: Hugh Shaughnessy
Occupation:  Luxury Resort Owner/Designer                     
Height: 6’3
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Age: 32
 
What makes you the perfect date?
 
I am extremely attentive.  I believe in taking a woman out for a romantic dinner with dancing and candlelight and making her feel like she is the most important thing in the world.
 
What do you look for in a woman?
 
She’s intelligent and easy to talk to but who isn’t looking for forever.  I travel a lot and she would need to be understanding of that.
 
Describe yourself in 100 words or less: 
 
I’m a really regimented man.  I mean really.  I like things done a certain way and I’m a stickler for routines and schedules.  Some say I’m overly cautious – in every aspect of my life – but that doesn’t mean that I’m boring.  I have an appreciation for the finer things and I’m outgoing and enjoy being around people and making new friends.
 
***
 
Name: Quinn Shaughnessy
Occupation:  Former Race Car Driver turned Automotive Restorer                          
Height: 6’
Hair Color:  Dirty Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Age: 30
 
What makes you the perfect date?:  
 
I’m the fun one in the family.  I like to go out with a woman to a bar or someplace with loud music or find something athletic to do.  I want to be where the party is.
 
What do you look for in a woman?
 
I’ll admit to being a little shallow here – I am all about looks.  Tall, blonde, curvy…and that’s about it.
 
Describe yourself in 100 words or less: 
 
Like I said, I’m the fun one.  I am all about living life to the fullest.  I enjoy sports – all sports – and I hate to be idle.  Cars are my current passion and to me it’s go-big-or-go-home.  If I can’t succeed and excel at something, then it’s time to move on.  So far it’s worked for me.
 
***
 
Name: Owen Shaughnessy
Occupation:  Astrophysicist       
Height: 6’
Hair Color:  Dark Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Age: 28
 
What makes you the perfect date?
 
I don’t really think I am.  I don’t believe perfect is something anyone can attain.  Dating really hasn’t been on my radar but when I do take a woman out, we usually talk about science.  And she’s normally a scientist so I guess you can say I make sure we talk about mutual interests.
 
What do you look for in a woman?
 
I spend a lot of my time trying to not be noticed.  But if I notice a woman, it’s usually because we’re both working together or studying together.  I look for someone who understands me.
 
Describe yourself in 100 words or less: 
 
Quiet.  Shy.  Socially awkward.  At least that’s how most people tell me I am.  I don’t think about it much.  I’m devoted to my field of study and helping others learn about astrophysics and it pretty much consumes all of my time and energy.
 
***
 
Name: Riley Shaughnessy
Occupation:  Musician/Rock Star                             
Height: 6’
Hair Color:  Dark Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Age: 28
 
What makes you the perfect date?
 
When I’m out on a date with a woman, there is no one else in the world.  I put all of my attention on her and do my best to make sure that our date includes everything she wants.
 
What do you look for in a woman?
 
I used to be all about the looks – mainly because women were always chasing after me.  I had superficial relationships, now I look for a woman who sees more than a rock star, a celebrity.  I want to find someone who just sees me.
 
Describe yourself in 100 words or less: 
 
Confident.  Talented.  And currently, mildly insecure.  I have always loved music, loved to sing and if I couldn’t do that, I don’t know what I’d do with myself.  Music is just a part of me.  I put my partying ways behind me – not that I had much of one.  I’m just as comfortable on stage in front of thousands of people, as I am at home watching TV.

Author Biography

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller/contemporary romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan's Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40's to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.

When she's not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.
