Blazing Dawn by P. T. Macias

     This is a quick read, less than two hours, but it was a well written story with characters that were fully developed and well defined.  Ms. Macias gives well developed descriptions of each character and you feel like you would know each of them on site.  The story feels like it is told in the third person at times and this took some getting use to. The story went quickly, but I didn't get lost.  Dawn and Thunder's story was clear and their path to finding each other was fun to watch.  I enjoy this series of stories and how Ms. Macias links her Razor 8 series with the Tequila 10 one.  I think you will enjoy the read and look forward to the next one!!

A Major Seduction by Marie Harte

This was a gifted copy to  me in exchange for an honest review.  This is the second book in this series, but it actually occurs before the first book "A Major Attraction".  This is the story of Marie Thompson, best friend of Olivia Cava from the first book and Mike Cava, Olivia's brother.   Maria has had a crush on Mike since she was 15 years old.  This story is mainly about what happens when they meet again after eight years.  The chemistry is instant for Mike and Maria, but Maria is trying to keep her heart safe. Mike has ignored her for so long she's afraid to trust what is happening between them. This is an enjoyable read as we watch these two dance around each other while they figure out how they feel and what they want.  Marie Harte is one of my most favorite authors and I think you will love this novella. She never fails to entertain and this book is no different.

I Married A Bear by A. T. Mitchell

     I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  This is a short read, but it is a fully developed story with complex characters that will grab your heart from the very beginning.   James Roark, Alpha of the bear pack and Laura Hirsch, daughter of the alpha of the wolf pack, find themselves in an arranged marriage that neither wants at first.  That quickly changes and then the challenge of facing all the problems from his own bears and the plotting of Laura's father to take over the bear lands.  These two face it all and find a way to make their own HEA.  A fun, quick read that I think you will enjoy a lot.

Fighting Fate by Carrie Ann Ryan

      OMG.  I cannot believe this book.  It hit the ground running and I never got to take a breath until the end.  I received this advanced copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  Well, my honest review is DON'T HESITATE TO BUY IT!  I can't tell you what happens in the beginning, but you will be in shock.  I was and it saddens me, even now.  However, it was a driving force for the rest of the book.  Cailin and Logan have been dancing around each other forever and that definitely comes to an end quickly in this installment.  I knew going into this book that it was the final one of the series, so I was expecting some type of closure concerning the demon, Caym and hopefully some relief for the Redwood Pack.  Ms. Ryan has quite the devious mind in finding these answers.  We discover the secret Logan has been hiding about his past and how it will be a major factor in ridding the Pack of their troubles.  There was one breathtaking situation after another and, as in the other books, the Redwoods suffered additional losses at the hand of this seemingly unstoppable demon.  Not all problems were solved, but HEA's were found and hope is abundant for the future.  I cannot wait for the Talon Pack series to start and hopefully we'll find that some of the lingering questions have found answers.
      As always, Carrie Ann Ryan delivers a well written, exciting story that has the reader on the edge of their seat from the first page to the last.  Well worth the time (I got the book today and read it from start to finish in one setting) and money.  If you have loved the Redwoods from the beginning, you can't miss this conclusion.
