 Evangeline Anderson

https://books2read.com/enticedbythesatyr

I saw the cover and thought ewww horns, will that come with fur, hooves and a tail? But the author, I'll read anything she writes for pure entertainment value.
This is a new type of Kindred, another Universe and more scary creatures along with the Kindred.
Mia is trapped in a loveless, brutal marriage. She wants out but could lose her life in the process. Her husband made her feel fat and ugly. This curvy woman was anything but and had been dream sharing for some time. He couldn't be real, he had hooves!
If you want to be entertained to the max, laugh yourself silly, roll your eyes at the corny lines. Then join me for this crazy ride in the Kindred World
btw Ms Anderson, did you have to mention Melbourne, I'll be looking up for gashes in the sky now lol



A warrior from another universe...
A woman running from an abusive relationship
A rip in the fabric of space-time and a malevolent alien race bent on destruction
How does it all tie together? Read Enticed by the Satyr...the first book of the Monstrum Kindred to find out

Mia could have had a beautiful life. She had a scholarship to Juilliard and a future as a concert pianist ahead of her. But that was before her boyfriend got her pregnant on prom night and her strict parents forced her to get married. Now her life has been spent as the wife of an abusive husband who hates the music she still loves to play. But she dreams of a better future…and she also dreams of a stranger in the dark, one who will offer love and tenderness instead of hatred and scorn.

Storn is a Satyr—one of the Monstrum Kindred. Though he lives in a whole different universe, he begins to Dream Share with Mia. He longs to save her from her cruel husband, so when a rip opens in the fabric of space-time which leads from his universe into hers, he volunteers to go.

But there is trouble brewing…more rips are opening in the fabric of space-time and whole universes are being overrun by the Darklings—embodiments of pure evil that strip their victims to the bone and fill whole solar systems with their malice.

Can Storn save Mia from her abusive ex? And will the Monstrum Kindred come to Earth when the Darklings invade? More importantly, will they be allowed to call human brides when they themselves look so very different from regular Kindred?
You’ll have to read Enticed by the Satyr to find out…

Her Renegade Cowboy (Moving Violations Book 3)

 Lora Leigh

Due to a past traumatic event, Lily is wary of men. Most of her family doesn't know of the event.
Now a prison escape has her worried for her life. Levi is the new guy at her cousin's ranch, but he's not all that he seems.
This story was light on the suspense part though the final chapters will have your heart racing. I did enjoy though their journey of trust, love and fun. And yet it's based on half truths and we know the truth will come out. Will it make or break them? Will they even both survive the finale.
Great story, I couldn't put it down.


From #1 New York Times bestseller Lora Leigh comes the final book in the Moving Violations trilogy, Her Renegade Cowboy!

He will risk his life…

The oh-so-proper school teacher, Lily Donovan has learned, the hard way, that men are not to be trusted. Period. Until Levi Roberts, the new cowboy working at her cousin's ranch, tempts her carefully-built resolve and awakens an all-consuming passion she thought lay dormant. But when she discovers his deadly secret, and her own secrets come to light, Lily unwittingly joins the lethal cat and mouse race between Levi and the man he’s been hunting for weeks.

To save her heart…

Former Ranger Levi Roberts has seen his fair share of deadly trouble during his years as a tough-as-nails operative. The ultimate expert in undercover investigations, he’s been tasked to find a man with a dangerous agenda in town. Routine work has been boring…until he runs into Lily, the prickly school teacher who tempts him like no other. Getting under her skin has been deliciously satisfying for his red-hot desire, but when Lily lands in the hands of the very man he’s been investigating, Levi will have to fight with every ounce of his heart and soul to save her—and to heal the heart he broke.

Hidden Rage: Kindred Tales 37

 Evangeline Anderson

***Paperback***

5 stars

Will I ever tire of these Kindred stories....I doubt it. This author has the craziest imagination. You know there will be a happy ever after but then again the things that happen make you doubt it while your heart is racing. Bobbi is an independent woman, her job involves studying other cultures and what better than another planet. Dragon was an orphan taken in by a different culture, he's not one of them but what is he? Could he be dangerous or save Bobbi's life? The action and drama in this one is crazy.


Is it wrong to fall in love with your kidnapper?
*This is an Extra plus-length novel, over 120,000 words long*

Dr. Roberta McClelland--Bobbi to her friends--is a Xeno-Cultural Anthropologist living her lifelong dream of studying an alien species. On the peaceful planet of Avria Pentaura, she spends her days tending crops and learning her new people's customs. But her peace doesn't last long--she doesn't count on raiders from the neighboring planet, Saurous, coming to visit and she especially doesn't expect to be kidnapped and held captive by a rogue Kindred named Dragon.

Dragon isn't native to Saurous--a planet inhabited by lizard people called Saurians. His parents were killed when he was little and he has been adopted into the Crimson Blades crime family. As a Hybrid--a mix of two different types of Kindred--he isn't sure of his heritage. He only knows that his mother was a Vision Kindred, but his father's origins and the other half of his own nature are a mystery to him.

The big Hybrid has never met a female like Bobbi before and the minute he sees her, he knows he has to have her. The problem is, his sadistic Saurian brother, Zerlix, wants her too. Dragon can think of only one way to protect the curvy little female--he must marry her and keep her with him always.

But Bobbi is a modern woman and she's not interested in marrying her kidnapper, thank you very much. She's determined to run away no matter how hot her Kindred captor is and she's going to give the evil Zerlix the slip too. But when she gets into trouble in the notorious Blue Light District, can Dragon find her in time to rescue her? And will happen when the hidden half of his heritage comes out?

The Spark Between Us: A Small Town Firefighter Standalone Romance (Berkeley Hills series Book 3)

 by Stacy Travis

Add the Spark Between Us to Goodreads: https://bit.ly/3jr2Wpw

What a fun read this was. Another author to add to my TBR pile, just what I need lol.
I can't resist a fire fighter, pair him up with a scientist and we have an opposites attract situation.
She just needed a room to stay in for 6 months, he and her older brother are mates, would could he say. He didn't expect such chemistry and denial wasn't working for either of them.
She wasn't so much a dorky nerd, she had plenty of sass. He finally had more than a bimbo, someone he could have an interesting conversation with.
So, is this really temporary or will love win. It might take a serious wake up call for these two to realise what's in front of them.
Great story, I really enjoyed it.


When I move to small town Carolwood, I don't expect to run into a hot-as-sin firefighter with smoldering gray eyes and eight-pack abs. Literally. With my car. Doesn't help matters that Braden Michaels is my brother's best friend. And my new roommate.

He’s too busy putting out blazes and igniting them in the hearts of women to pay much attention to me. I’m just here for work—six months of nerding out at a world-renowned science lab, then going home to a nice promotion and the boring men in my comfort zone.

I’m not here for a rescue fantasy, a fire station pole dance, or a romantic walk in a vineyard. I’m certainly not here to fall in love.

Until one earth-shattering night when we collide in a ball of white-hot sparks, and everything changes. We’re no longer just roommates. I don’t know what we are. But edging open Braden’s complicated heart knocks something loose in mine. All my plans and scientific facts start to pale in comparison with feelings I can’t control.

My time here has an expiration date and neither one of us wants to get hurt. Rushing into a burning building seems less risky than chasing the spark between us. Maybe it’s smarter to walk away. Or maybe I've found the one reason to stay.

Do opposites attract or are we playing with fire?

The Spark Between Us is Sarah and Braden's story in the Berkeley Hills series and is an opposites attract STANDALONE novel.

Romance by the Book (A Soul Mates in Romeo Romance)

A quirky romance, Jessie lived in her fantasy bubble. Thinking she loved one of the twins that she even barely knew but planned to win over for marriage. It was an entertaining story, the characters were eccentric and believed in destiny and soul mates. Did Jessie have the right twin, she loved one and hated the other. This made for an amusing tale while she chased one twin already engaged and the other determined to stop her and win her for himself. If you're a lover of romantic comedy then this book is for you.


Welcome to Romeo, NY where it's not a matter of if you find your soul mate, only when.

Book-loving librarian Jessie has loved Gavin Williams for practically her whole life. So when a psychic predicts that Gavin is Jessie’s one fated soul mate, she’s ecstatic.

There’s just one itty bitty little problem.

Gavin’s engaged to marry another woman.

What’s a book lover to do? Easy. Check out dozens of romance books, study the (totally realistic) way characters fall in love, and make a foolproof plan on how to win her soul mate (in one week).

Meet cute? Check.

Dance under the stars? Check.

Kiss in the rain? Check.

Romance books don’t lie – it’ll all go perfectly.

Except, there’s another problem. Gavin’s twin brother: William Williams IV.

Jessie has hated William for as long as she’s loved his brother. William is grump to Jessie’s sunshine, standoffish to her extrovert, cold to her warm. And when William learns of Jessie’s plan to derail his brother’s engagement he swears that he’ll do anything to stop her.

But after William and Jessie (unwillingly) share a dance…a romantic dinner…a kiss…Jessie starts to wonder, is William actually her soul mate? Or is this just another one of his games?

She can’t tell, because this romance definitely isn’t going by the book.

Romance by the Book is book 3 in the Soul Mates in Romeo Romance Series.

I Promise You: Barrett Boys Epilogue

 by Jordan Ford

5.0 out of 5 stars The finale, what a great finish!

Time has marched on a few years in this series, the teens are now young adults. Engagements, marriage and pregnancies and new homes for some. The Barrett's have grown up and created new lives but always within reach of each other. Jackson was a child when we started this series, now he's 16 and finding that his best friend Hailey is way more. But what is her secret? Could she be in danger? The latter part of this story was action packed with danger. These kids know too much, will they all survive?
I'm both happy and sad to read this closure to the series. The rest of their lives is now in our imaginations and I'm so looking forward to seeing what this author does next.


Jackson promised to take his best friend to prom, no matter what. But four years down the track and things between them have shifted. Can childhood besties become something more, or will it ruin everything?


Jackson:
Lesson #1: When you’re twelve and you make a deal with your best friend that you’ll go to prom together, don’t do anything to screw that up, even if she does try to seal the deal with a kiss.

Lesson #2: When things get awkward between the two of you, work your way through it and don’t drift apart.

Lesson #3: When she starts dating some guy you don’t like, don’t be shy about telling her the truth.

Lesson #4: When her idiot boyfriend crosses a line, be the first to step up and protect her, because let’s face it, she’s the only girl you’ve ever wanted and maybe it’s about time you tell her that.

I Promise You is a fun epilogue novella to wrap up the Barrett Boys series. If you’d love to revisit the Barrett ranch and check in with each brother as they help Jackson through the ups and downs of young love, then grab your copy for a final farewell to the Barrett Boys. See how the power of love can save, heal and restore.

Sea Glass Hearts (Baytown Boys Book 15)

Sheriff Liam, what a wonderful character who deserves the best in life. He is a knight in shining armor. As a hurricane bears down on the town he comes to the rescue of a heavily pregnant widow and her daughter. With no where to go in time during this storm he takes them home.
Sea glass, what a perfect description in this story about why sea glass is life.
Amy has no family and is starting her life over, she has no choice but to stay with Liam and he doesn't mind at all. His sterile house has become a cluttered home.
This was a beautiful slow burn, a background mystery to solve and romance at it's finest.
A great book, I loved it.


A dark and stormy night…
As a hurricane bore down on the Eastern Shore, Sheriff Liam Sullivan patrolled the roads, glad to see everyone was staying inside. Everyone except the owner of the car towing a trailer, now sitting on the side of the road, lights flashing.

And then he met her. A woman in need. A woman to rescue. A woman to protect. A woman to love.

Now to convince her of that.

Scenes and language similar to an R-rated movie. 18+ readers only.

Baytown Boys… Military duty called them away to war zones, but after tours overseas, the group of friends found their way back home as men, seeking the peaceful little seaside town. Now, the band of brothers, together once more, work to provide a place for less fortunate veterans to call home.
