Times Echo by Rysa Walker [SBM Review]

Times Echo

A Chronos Files Novella

Rysa Walker

Goodreads

A Kindle exclusive novella, set in the world of Rysa Walker's Timebound. 

Kiernan Dunne abandoned his family ties to help Kate fight the Cyrists, and he's never regretted that for one moment. But he doesn't understand why Kate can't remember that night in 1893 Chicago, when she turned back to face the killer chasing them through the smoky corridors of the World's Fair Hotel. Kate placed the CHRONOS key around his neck and made his eight year old self promise to wear it always, and that's a promise Kiernan has never broken. 

When Kate suddenly vanishes after a Cyrist-engineered time shift, that hidden medallion is Kiernan's only hope for finding her. He returns to the Cyrist fold to look for clues, but his search will lead him back to the question that has haunted him for years--what really happened after he left Kate at the World's Fair Hotel? 

This digital novella gives Timebound readers a glimpse at Kate in another timeline and helps set the stage for Time's Edge, the second book in The CHRONOS Files Series, coming from Skyscape in October.

I just love the world Walker has created. The timeline is changing again and Kate has disappeared. Kiernan was suppose to forget the other timeline and Kate. He has to find out what was changed and where Kate is. This is such a great suspenseful adventure. I love the different time lines and experience they have. It's fun and so exciting. I can't wait to read the next book!

Forbidden Alpha (FOA Part 2) by Dakota Cassidy [SBM Review]

Forbidden Alpha 

Fangs of Anarchy Part 2

Dakota Cassidy

Goodreads

If Irish McConnell wasn’t so hot for Claire Montgomery, he’d muzzle her pretty werewolf mouth and tie her to his bed forever. No one would blame him. It’s the only way to keep her out of trouble… 

Claire’s done a bad thing, the consequences of which point to more badness in her immediate future. And possibly Irish’s future…and the future of both his vampire clan and her wolf pack. But Claire’s determined to fix everything. All she has to do is find proof to justify her actions, avoid the drunken threats of her pack alpha, and stave off a race war between the vamps and weres. Easy-peasy. 

The hard part? Staying away from her favorite forbidden vampire. Especially hard when he’s saving her hide every five seconds. 

I loved this more than I did the first. Irish is doing everything he can to protect not only Claire, but he's clan as well. He has a family to look out for along with the community. The world Cassidy created is so interesting and the characters I just love. Even the ones I'm loving to hate! This series has mystery, murder, suspense, action, and an oh so sexy Irish! I can't wait to read the next installment of the series.

Fangs of Anarchy-Forbidden Alpha: Part One—Alpha Down 

Irish McConnell would give his immortality for a taste of Claire Montgomery. But the Fangs of Anarchy leader can’t risk his biker club, his vampire clan, or his tenuous truce with werewolf Gannon Dodd, Claire’s pack alpha—and her intended mate. Nope. Vamps and weres don’t mix, and Irish has managed to keep that in mind for five long, lust-filled years. 

But now Claire’s gone and done something really, really (really!) bad, guaranteeing her doom if she’s ever found out. Truce be damned, Irish won’t leave her unprotected, despite the fact this is one murder-filled bundle of trouble he doesn’t need. 

And unfortunately for Irish, the trouble’s just beginning… 

WOW this was a ride! This is sure to be my new obsession. Clair is to be mated to her Alpha. A man she hates and does everything in her power to stop it. Irish is the man she fantasizes about. With the reality live up to the fantasy. Once I started this story I couldn't put it down. It was sexy, funny, and had edge of you're seat suspense. I am loving this world Cassidy has created and can't wait to explore more of it.

An American Werewolf in Hoboken by Dakota Cassidy [SBM Review]

An American Werewolf in Hoboken

Dakota Cassidy

Goodreads

Wooing a life mate can be hard enough for a wolf, wooing one while under the threat of a curse even 

more so. 

Wooing a mate while pretending to be her dog? Nearly impossible. 

After being drugged and captured by Animal Control, Max Adams is on Hoboken's doggie death row when his life mate adopts him, takes him home, and promptly names him Fluffy. While JC, in all her new-pet-owner-ness, feeds "Fluffy" vile kibble, dresses him in mortifying dog couture, and schedules to have his manhood removed, Max's human side gets to know JC. Especially in the biblical sense. 

Hopefully well enough to make her fall madly in love, mate with him under the full moon, and move with him to Cedar Glen to live happily every after forever and ever amen. And fast. 

Because the curse comes with a deadline...and the clock is ticking. 

This was such a cute and funny story. I instantly connected with JC. She has the worst luck with guys. She finally finds the man of her dreams, but he has a small secret. To say Max will change JC's life is an understatement. He rocks her world in more ways than one! This was a great start to what I'm sure is going to be a great series. I can't wait to find out what other trouble the inhabitants of Cedar Glen get into!

It’s the way I’ve chosen to live. Master of my own destiny, finding my way through this bullshit thing called life.

I learned from a young age how to get my way. Being a woman isn’t a weakness. It’s the opposite. I’ve spent my life being surrounded by four overbearing brothers, but I’ve never been a wallflower. Independent and unwilling to be tied down, I grabbed life by the balls and lived it to the fullest.

I was enjoying myself, minding my own business at my brothers wedding. Then WHAM.

Ever have a man walk into your life and alter your entire universe? My answer would’ve been no before he tempted me into his bed.

I’m talking about the big damn bang. 

Everything that I thought was right, suddenly spins on its axis and bitch slaps me in the face.

How can you not love Izzy? I know while I was following The Men of Inked Series I wanted to know how that first night with Izzy and James went down. Bliss gives us that peek in this novella. I am so obsessed by The Men of Inked, but Izzy is my favorite!! Can't wait to find out where Bliss takes us next in the next book. If you're looking for some hot Alphas you need to read The Men of Inked!

All I remember is him: Sebastian Brand, my savior.

I trust only him.
