I have made it no secret that I LOVE shifter series, especially those that include wolf shifters.  I was pleasantly surprised to discovered Taming the Alpha, a little mini series written by Savannah Stuart and have enjoyed the little slices of life she provides readers of the Crescent Moon Pack.

Nettie Reviews: Tempting His Mate by Savannah Stuart

Title:  Tempting His Mate
Series:  Crescent Moon Series (Book 3)
Author:  Savannah Stuart
Genre:  Paranormal Romance

I am Ab-so-lute-ly LOVING this new shifter mini series by Savannah Stuart!  Tempting His Mate is book 3 in the series and features the mating of Ascher Kincaid and Ella Hayes.  As with the previous books in the series, Savannah Stuart makes it a point to give readers a glimpse of the couples previously featured, and how they are getting along in the Kincaid Wolf Pack.

Ascher Kincaid has been living the life of a lone wolf for more than a century....a fate he relegated himself to after losing his mate to rough jaguar shifters. Tired of being alone, Ascher makes the decision to come out of hiding and take a job as head of security at one of the pack owned resorts.  Cousin to the alpha Grant, Ascher is no stranger to shifter antics, nor is he a lightweight. In fact, Ascher is powerful enough to become an alpha of his own pack.  Especially after his time in solitude with nothing to do but hone his power, and think about all he lost when his mate died. Only participating in brief hookups with no relationship expectations, Ascher is resigned to his loveless future.....that is until he has a chance encounter with Ella Haynes which leads to the awakening of his wolf and desires he thought long buried.

Series: Ross Siblings (Book 2)
Author: Cherrie Lynn
Narrator: Alix Dale
Genre: Contemporary Romance

If you thought Unleashed was steamy with the hot Evan, wait until you meet his little brother Brian Ross. This man has definitely made his way to the top of my Christmas list. Unfortunately for me, I didn't make the cut but Candace Andrews surely does.

On one rebellious night, Candace decides to get a cute tattoo from the local parlor. Said parlor is owned by the sexy Brian Ross. Now, Candace and Brian are not strangers to one another because Brain once dated Candace's cousin. Candace has been in love with this man since they were first introduced but he was safely in the friend zone. Lucky for Candace, that friend zone was tossed out the window when it was time to get inked.

Goodreads Synopsis.... Reaver by Larissa Ione (December 17, 2013)

WARRIOR OF HEAVEN

Reaver is an angel with a past, a record, and a less-than-heavenly attitude. Powerful enough to fight alongside the fiercest battle angels-and crazy enough to risk his wings on a one-way mission to hell-he's agreed to go where no angel has ever gone before...to steal the most seductive and dangerous prize of Satan himself.

ANGEL OF HELL

Harvester is one of the Fallen, a once-heroic angel who sacrificed her wings to work as an undercover agent in hell. But now her cover has been blown, and she's been doomed to an eternity of agonizing torture. Even if Reaver can snatch her away from Satan's lair, even if they can fight their way out of the underworld's darkest depths, there is one thing Harvester can never escape-her newfound thirst for an angel's blood...


OMG, I'm dying to get my hands on this one. Celie and I are long term fans of Larissa Ione and we loved the Demonica Series!

SINsual Sunday and Author Preview with Giveaway!

Hola Chickies! This week we're doing something a bit different for SINsual Sunday by welcoming
Ashlynne Laynne to the blog to bring us a SINsual worthy except from her latest book Blood Reborn!

 

A house full of guests were gathered in the next room, but Ascher became too impassioned to stop. He swept her into his arms, walking them to the wall farthest from the living room. Wrapping his fingers around the pink cotton, he tore the panties from beneath her matching gown and murmured against the hollow of her throat, “We have people in the living room.”

Her hand swiped across the black double dresser, scattering crystal figurines and papers onto the floor, adding to the mess from her earlier rage. “Ash, I so don’t care right now.” She squeezed his dick through the jeans, her tongue slipping along the pale skin of his neck. “I won’t scream if you don’t. You can be quiet, can’t you?” She grazed the razor point of one fang across the two moles near his throat.

Her action caused his cock to jump in response. Grasping a handful of her hair to lift her gaze to his, he growled, “You know what that does to me.”

“I know exactly what it does to you. Question is, what are you going to do about it?” 

Ascher tossed her on the dresser, spreading her legs to allow his fingers access to her clit. His thumb circling the swollen button, he moaned, “I’m going to take you right here on this dresser.”  

“Good, because I can’t wait until tonight.” Her fingers undid the button-fly in his jeans, her hand freeing his hard on from its denim prison. She nipped at his bottom lip, drawing blood, and then sucked on the soft flesh until the sting travelled the length of his body, making his erection pain in her hand.

Ascher knotted his fingers into the loose hair at the crown of her head. “You keep that up and you’re going to get it.”

“You promise?” With a careless lash of her clawed digits, Shauna stripped the nightgown from her body. Her bare breasts sprang free, the velvety nipples pointed with excitement. Her stare grew serious and flashed a stormy gray. “Come and get me, Ascher.”

He pulled on the French braid in her head, running his fingers along the plait until loose ribbons of dark flowing locks spilled down her back and over her face. She looked so fucking sexy, and he used every ounce of his restraint to hold back the urge to screw her into exhaustion.

Seizing her face in his hands, he took her mouth, pulling her against him and pinning his shaft to her soaked folds. “You’re mine,” he growled, edging his hips forward to feel her. The heat of her sex taunted his cock, firing an inferno in his blood. “I can’t believe you’re finally mine.”

Her head fell back in submission. “Yes. Yours. I’ll always be yours, Ascher.” She breathed winded pants. “Now fuck me.”

One minute she was restrained beneath him, her body writhing and arching against him, begging for his dick. The next, she pushed him beneath her, taking matters into her own hands. “Lie back,” she demanded, sinking to her knees and pushing him back against the wall. “I have a surprise for you.”

“Shauna, there are people in the next—Ahhh, baby what are you doing?”

“Pleasuring you.” She caught him with the full force of her silvery gaze. “Do you want me to stop?”

He felt powerless to stop her. “No.” His hands gripped the edge of the dresser, his claws shredding the black lacquered finish. “Don’t stop.”
