When her deceptive plan against the Royal Pack fails, royal arctic wolf, Kara Channon, finds herself stripped of her strength and left with nothing but the weak human shell of a body. Knowing it’s too dangerous for her to stay in Wyoming, Chase Maheegan volunteers to be her jailor and take her to California to be with him.

For years, they were rivals.
Now, he’s her only hope.

Chase always enjoyed making the uptight royal squirm, but Kara refused to give in to her attraction for him... until now. Desperate for her power to be restored, Kara spends a passionate night in his arms only to sneak away in the morning and thrust herself into a world of danger.

Time is running out as darkness circles the beautiful wolf. Can Chase get to her in time to save her from herself? Or will the lure of an unmated royal mark her as a target for those who would kill to claim her?

EXCERPT

I left one hell for another. The sleeping spell has worn off, and now I’m back.
I can’t see a fucking thing, and when I take a step, my legs give out beneath me. My knee scrapes against the concrete, and the sting shoots up my leg. “Son of a bitch,” I growl, carefully touching my knee. My teeth chatter and my body shakes with not only being cold but from fury. I’ve never been weak like this before. I’m also starving. My stomach feels as if it’s burning and twisting into tight knots.
The weight of the bracelet is heavy on my wrist, and I grip it as hard as I can, pulling until my muscles begin to shake. “Dammit,” I shout, knocking myself off balance. I reach out into the darkness, grabbing onto the first thing I can to stop my fall. Bottles clank together as I grip the shelf and take a deep breath. Slowly, I reach out to touch the bottles, wishing like hell I could use my wolf sight to see. I remember Chase saying that’s where he was going to keep me … in his wine cellar. Bastard.
“Chase!” I shout as loud as I can. Fumbling through the dark, I feel around the walls until I find the staircase. I’m not staying in the goddamned cellar any longer. I start up the stairs, and there’s a sliver of light at the bottom crack of the door.
“Chase!” I shout, balling my fist tight and banging on the wood. Pain shoots up my arm, and I curse under my breath. If I had my strength, I’d break down the damn door. “So help me,” I scream, beating the door even harder, “if you don’t open up this fucking door, I’m going to destroy every single bottle of wine you have down here.” A few seconds pass, and nothing. “Chase!” Huffing, I grip onto the handrail and start down into the dark. “All right, here I go, asshole!” The door swings open, filling the staircase with the brightest light I’ve ever seen. “What the hell?” I hiss, turning my face away. I blink a few times until my eyes adjust. When I look up at the top of the stairs, Chase is there with an enormous, shit-eating grin on his face. “You’re not going to be smiling like that for long.”
Chase rears his head back and laughs. “Oh yeah? And how are you going to stop me?”
Growling, I storm up the stairs and lift my hand to smack him, but when I try to connect, it’s as if I moved in slow motion.
Chase snatches my wrist and grins, his blue eyes piercing right through me. “I’m going to love having you around.”



This is the 7th book of the Royal shifters series.  I like to read things in order but you could pick this up and enjoy the story.  It is difficult to root for the bad guy in most stories. Author's that can write redemption for them are even more rare. Kara is the Cruella DeVille of the shifter world.  She has done some unspeakable things and almost succeeded in doing even more.  She comes from an outcast family who tried to usurp the King.  200 years later, she still has not found her footing in the shifter world. 

Kara is bound by fae magic and sentenced to isolation with Chase, the alpha of his pack. These two have a history i their business circles. It takes Kara most of the story ot break down her walls and let her true self shine through. She has spent so many years hiding who she was that she struggles with letting anyone in to her heart.  Chase is very patient and he does see her for who she is. He just needs to convince her that she is worthy. 

It was great to see some of the Royal clan again.  Loved the little tidbit about the possibly missing Royals and where they may be.  Can't wait to see if they are successfully found.  really love Evangeline the witch.  She will be a great addition to the pack.  

I can't wait to read more of this series.  Start from the beginning and you will not be disappointed!

K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind of books they wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and as every girl knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.

They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women they love.

If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.

Code Name: Disavowed (Jameson Force Security, Book #8) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: December 14, 2021

 





Life works in mysterious ways. Jameson Force Security has just received notice of a disavowed CIA agent in need of rescue in Central America. My blood runs cold when I learn that agent is none other than Greer Hathaway—my former fiancée. 

 Having gone our separate ways more than a decade ago, I still have bitter feelings toward Greer and the demise of our relationship. Those feelings don’t change the fact that I loved her more than anything, so I’m on the next flight out to embark on a rescue mission. 

Besides, Greer once saved my life, so now it’s time to return the favor and put her firmly in my past. 

 Face-to-face for the first time since ending our engagement, Greer and I are left with not only anger, unanswered questions and regrets, but also the undeniable chemistry we apparently still have. 

Will the promise of a new future together be enough, or will the same obstacles tear us apart again?

Eight books in and this still is one of my favorite series ever!  The books suck you in and the movie reel starts running. Before you know it you are immersed in an adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat.  Ladd and Greer's story proves to be just as much of an adrenaline rush as the previous books.  

We travel to central America and the under belly of arms dealers. Lots of action in this one!  A bit of intrigue along with the security action. Greer and Ladd have a past that ended badly but emotions were left unresolved.  Throughout the story, that tension and chemistry threatens to break open. They just need to sort their feelings and get on with it. 

I loved Ladd's son Ethan and his perspective on everything!  Great to see the whole Jameson group join together on this one.  Nice to see some familiar faces. 

I am a sucker for epilogues and this story does not have one--really.  Keep reading the preview for the next book about Dozer.  That first chapter wrapped up this story nicely for me.  I am looking forward to Dozer's adventure! 

Fantastic story!

Release Blitz & Review: Shelter



Shelter by Kristen Proby is now live!


A small town, close proximity romance from New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kristen Proby.

Remi Carter has survived her fifteen minutes of fame and is putting LA in her rearview mirror. As a former reality show contestant, she's trading staged expeditions and faked wilderness tours for real adventures. Only one fluke storm in Glacier National Park has her stranded with a handsome man, and adventure takes on a whole new meaning.

Seth King is as rugged and sexy as he is annoyed to be trapped with Remi. Probably because she ghosted him at the local bar not three days ago. But she's got her reasons for ditching him, and twenty-four hours in an abandoned Montana cabin with the wildlife biologist isn't nearly enough time to explain. As tempting as he is by firelight, she's been burned too many times.

Except one day together and suddenly her travel van doesn't hold as much appeal. The open road feels lonely. Remi's about to learn that shelter is more than a safe place to weather a storm.
Shelter might just be the man himself. If he can give her a reason to stay.

I can't believe we have to say goodbye to the Big Sky family!  What a way to go out!  We come full circle and see a grown up Seth King get his HEA. It could not have been a more perfect story to wrap this series. 

Seth is a Ranger and still works his family ranch with his Dad and uncle.  He has endured a painful childhood that turns into a tight family relationship with all of the Kings.  He stumbles upon Remi and all of a sudden, he is thinking about long term life plans. 

Remi is great! She is rugged but soft. Adventurous but maybe looking for white picket fences.  I love her for Seth and I am so happy that she is the one who made him open up and realize his worth. 

My only mehhh moment is the insta lust. I just think in this day and age, regardless of being trapped in a snow storm, people just would not jump a strangers bones with no thought or pause about ramifications. Luckily Seth is a good guy. 

Over all I loved this series so much.  Loved the whole town and the setting.  Read them all!

Release Blitz & Review: Reverie and Redemption

 

Reverie and Redemption by
Kaydence Snow is now live!



They're the men of her dreams...literally.

I'm in love with three men. I'm just not sure if they're a dream come true or my worst nightmare.

It began with hearing voices - just another step on my steady descent into madness. It was inevitable, considering the whole town hated me and I was the loneliest person on the planet.

I didn't really blame them, I guess. Everyone who got close to me ended up in the hospital. I'd be suspicious of me too.

When the three distinct, alluring voices in my head started to appear before my eyes as three distinct, gorgeous men I really started to question everything I thought I knew.

They called themselves Dreamwalkers and told me they were hunting the monster attacking all the people around me.

They won't leave me alone.

I'm not sure I want them to.

But am I the monster they're after? Or are we all in worse danger than I ever could've imagined?

I was drawn to this book by the cover. That is not usually my first instinct. But the cover made me read the blurb and then the blurb got me thinking about what the story could possible hold.  I will say for fans of PNR, this is such a unique twist. I am still trying to process everything. 


I read a lot of books.  And usually I just finish and then pick out the next one. This one had be stopping mid story and a few times in between. I needed to share what I was experiencing, so my family got an earful as the story progressed.  


The author takes the idea of what options are available after we die and turns that into the story/myth of dreamwalkers.  The whole concept was so unique. I found myself wanting to read more and more because the writing style of both educating the reader and spinning the characters back story had me so intrigued.  I was hooked from the first page. 


I won't share too much more here as you should enjoy the story as it develops. Reverie has her own journey to take through the story and we get to see her own her quirkiness and become the woman she was meant to be.   


Great story! I am so happy to have read this one.  I have not read any of this author's work before but I will now check out her back list.  Enjoy this one!
