“Darlin’, enough of this bullshit. We need to have a grown-up conversation. Yeah, I know, Brenna, something you’re not used to but ya need to hear me out. So is that gonna happen today or do I need to keep coming here ’cause I don’t have a problem with that. One way or another we are gonna talk, you tell me when.”

Before I can say a word, I hear a growl right before Ash is yanked away. When I turn I see Avalanche wailing on him. Fuck, Shadow’s Big Bird is going to kill my Ash. Wait he isn’t mine anymore.

“Avalanche, no, please let him up. Shit, brother, you’re going to kill him, and he isn’t worth it. Avalanche, please.”

He looks up at me then down at Ash, whose face is already swelling. Avalanche drops his head, all that long beautiful brown hair of his covering his face. Then he lets Ash go and stands up. When he offers Ash his hand, my heart wishes I could fall for Avalanche. He’s one in a million.

“Raven, what the hell is going on? I come back here to do a walk by and see this asshole, well cowboy dude, has you pushed up against the cabin. Oh shit, did I interrupt a sexual moment? Are you into what do they call it yeah voyeurism? Oh fuck, didn’t mean to intrude, you two. I can get outta of your hair. Sorry, man, not my intention at all.”

“Avalanche, shut the hell up. No, you didn’t interrupt a tryst at all. And no I don’t like people to see me having sex for Christ’s sake. This is my ex, who suddenly decided we needed to make nice. Don’t know why, but that’s what he’s trying to sell to me. As I told Ash, I’m not buying it, but he won’t take no for an answer. As you can see by his bloody nose, I tried to explain it first vocally then physically. That’s where we are right now.”

Ash has been watching the interaction between Avalanche and me, and the look on his face shocks me. He actually looks hurt. What is that?

“Is he the reason we can’t move on, Darlin’? Obviously you did…uhm, moved on. Good for you. Sorry to bother ya. Hope you both have a nice day. No wait, I actually hope it totally sucks cow balls. You have no idea how hard this was for me to come here, Brenna, and you treat me like a piece of shit on your boot. Was gonna try to explain and hoped you at least would listen, but no, not you. Well, you are getting what you wished for, I’m gone.”

This review was supposed to be written several weeks from now but it seems that Five Fangs wanted their review done now and just wouldn’t stop hounding me so I could get the reviews that should have been done before them done. So here we are with Posy and I am going to be doing this a bit differently because of how I read the story. I read the Wattpad version before purchasing and reading the e-books from Amazon.

I originally found Posy as a whole story on WattPad and from there discovered that author also published it on Amazon and I want to thank Mary Ann Weir for that (I really don’t like reading from those scam apps). I am going to share the WattPad link to Posy as well as links to the books on Amazon even though the author has taken the book down for the time being to give her story a fair chance on Amazon, I was saddened by this but I also understand it, especially after she explained about those scam apps pirating her story. For the record the WattPad version was unedited however it was still well written and worth my energy and my money on Amazon.

Posy starts out dark and sad and as Posy gains strength and confidence the story line becomes lighter and funnier. Her mate and their counter parts make a lot of mistakes but in all their mistakes they take their promises to her very seriously. Poly and all five of her mates are so well thought out that I really got to know who they are and felt the emotions rising from my tablet or phone as read. Then you throw in all the supporting characters that are all equally well thought out and defined and I felt pulled into the realm of Five Fangs. I think it’s a toss up between Quartz and Reau for my favorite characters.

I loved reading Posy so much that after reading it on WattPad I went and purchased the e-books and read those, I do want to purchase either the hardcover or paper back versions sometime in the future for when my tablet dies or I don’t have internet access to read because I know for sure I will be reading them again. I am currently reading Thoreau on WattPad as the author posts to it. Mary Ann Weir put a lot of thought and love into her Five Fangs world and maintained her story line continuity that she reminds of Laurann Dohner that I look forward to purchasing and reading more of her books,

Heat
It is a slow build to the steamy parts because of Posy’s trauma but not so slow that I felt it was competing with a seven year itch. I think Posy’s curiosity about mating mixed with her mates patience help her get to that point (thankfully Posy wasn’t forced into sex or it would never have happened). Now as for the steam, it was there but so well written that it was tasteful and low key the it was a mist coming of the tablet all the way to when Posy went into heat then it blew up to fire exploding from said tablet.

Quotes
“Your word is our law” must be at the top of my list of favorite quotes for this book, because I think it help Posy gain enough confidence to tell her men what she wanted. There were also discussions about “pup making juice” that had me laughing my ass off.

Book Cover
The author has changed the covers since I purchased my e-books and I have study all the covers closely and well I just don’t feel like they genuinely fit the story line or the progression of the story line from book to book. Posy has been abused and tortured, rescued by her mates and has done a lot of healing and I just don’t see those things in the covers.

Blurb Rating
When I decided how I was going to write this review the logistics of the blurbs became a challenge. They are all well write but there are 5 books and WattPad. I decided to go with the WattPad Blurb because that is where I started reading Posy and it is the one that got me to read the story and then purchase the e-books on Amazon so its only fair.

Book’s Blurb
Posy Briggs, the runt of Green River, turned eighteen years old alone in a dark room, whimpering from the pain of her latest beating.

After her mother’s death six years ago, her father turned her into his punching bag, taking all of his sorrow and rage out on her small self. He isolated her from her pack, turned her older brothers against her, and put her wolf into a coma with an overdose of wolfsbane.

Posy’s sure she won’t live to see her next birthday, yet every morning she rises with the sun and hopes for something to change … and it finally does when Alpha Kendall Briggs’ madness draws the attention of the Werewolf King.

He sends five alphas to investigate. Five alphas who burst into Posy’s life with the most delicious scents she ever imagined…

Cody

Bellehaven, KY was in my rearview as soon as I got my diploma and walked off the high-school stage. Fifteen years later, I don’t expect to be back.

I sure don’t expect to be seeing the woman I had a one-night stand with at our senior prom, or be coaching the same high-school basketball team I played for. The team that includes her son; a freshman.

Emma

From afar, I watched as Cody Willett became everything he said he would be. Famous, and a future NBA hall-of-famer–until an injury derailed his career. Now he’s the coach for my son’s team. I’m keeping a secret though. One that’s bound to destroy us from the inside out.

Not many are given a second chance, and we’re bound to screw this up, but what if we don’t? What if this is the happy ever after everyone wants and deserves? With a fear I’ve only felt once before, I’m reaching out with both hands, grabbing hold, and refusing to let go.

Bully Wolf’s Mate (Silverdale Wolves #6) by Mia Wolf

Genre

Pages

After reading Bully Wolf’s Mate, I got the impression that Miles was not the only one bulling Amber before they landed in Silverdale. With that first sentence it is glaringly obvious that I should have started with book 1 in the series, there were just too many holes without the previous books.

I found Bully Wolf’s Mate interesting and will probably be updating this review in the future after reding the first 5 books in the series. There were some editing mishaps but again the story line was interest and even with those edits I am sure I will have a new rating when I revisit this book. Because none of the references to past events made sense, they left gaps and more questions.

Book Cover
The cover is ok, I mean it was good enough to say the story could be interesting but I am undecided about it fitting the story line.

Blurb Rating
The blurb sold me on the story even though it was a bit wordy.

Book’s Blurb
My brother’s best friend used to bully me mercilessly.
He made cruel fun of my voluptuous curves until I cracked.
I hate him, but it’s difficult to avoid him in our small town.
Especially when I’m suddenly forced to spend lots of alone time with him.

Our pack is in danger from the demon wolves, and we’re put on patrol duty in pairs.
And guess who I got paired with? Exactly, him.
He says he needs to protect me, but I don’t need his protection.
He has no right after all he’s done. I can fight my own fights.

The biggest fight takes place inside of my head, though.
I can’t stop thinking about that one night, when his fingers caressed my curves.
I can’t stop thinking about the way his hands laid me bare and teased my shame.
And when the pregnancy test comes back and shows two clear lines, I wonder…

How much longer until I give into the bully wolf?

I want to apologize for the lack of facts about Rejected by the Wolf or its author. I got the book from BookFunnel and they really don’t give you anything about the book. I tried looking for Rejected by the Wolf on Amazon and other book selling sights and no luck so I will apologize again for not including purchasing links. Even being a free deal, it wasn’t worth the time so it wasn’t a waste of good hard-earned money.

I was kind of surprised I even finished Rejected by the Wolf, I was bored to tears and the editing issues just didn’t help anything. The tone of the story felt monotone so I could sense the emotions, not even the anger that Willow should have been feeling. The storylines aim for drama seemed fake and forced like the author was having a hard time finding the right words to bring the story to life.

I do think that the story line has potential it just needs good editing and more focused thought before it is a great book.

Book Cover
The book cover is another selling feature of Rejected by the Wolf but it’s a good thing the book was free.

Blurb Rating
The blurb did its job, I down loaded the book, but the book didn’t live up to the blurb.

Book’s Blurb
A wolf unknowingly took my life by rejecting me as his mate.
The reason? He didn’t want a human for his mate.
I’m so angry at him for doing this to me that I want revenge.
And so I return to the living to make him regret what he did.

As usual, though, things don’t go entirely as planned.
You see, the wolf is having a change of heart.
He suddenly wants me, both body and soul. As his mate.
But I’m still angry, determined to hurt him. Until he touches me.

Fate is a cruel mistress. She wants me to forgive him.
She wants me to spend alone-time with him, in the most heated and suffocating way.
She wants me to get close enough to know what it would feel like to kiss him.
To feel his breath on my lips and his primal heat against my body.

To love a wolf shifter like only a human can.

Before we begin, I want to say… Yes, I know I read a lot of Sam Crescent books. In my defense, she does write a lot and she writes very well 95% of the time. Throw in a blurb that drags one into the story before ever opening the cover and there it is, you have a person (me) trapped in the story.

Betrayal is the sequel to Control and starts of immediately after events from that book but focusing on Spike and Mary. It’s a good thing that I read Control before reading Betrayal or I would have been asking a lot of questions instead of knowing just how complete Spike’s betrayal truly was and I would have been questioning the validity of the title and to be honest I did question it until I went back browsed through Control again. What Spike did should have come with a heavier penalty, he is just lucky that Mary was ashamed (which he caused) and a very private person because if the club found out maybe some of them could decide he needed the same beat down as the reformed douche that messed with her friend.

I really liked how Mary made Spike fight for every inch of progress he made with her throughout the entire story while also giving him a dose of his own medicine. But I have to ask, why the hell is she still working for that creeper, Mac, there is definitely something hinkey about him.

Betrayal is seemed to have more bedroom scenes then plot line which was kind of a bummer for me since I like lots of story line to go with steamy sex scenes. And my adult children really don’t need any more ammo in their quest to prove that all the books I read are book porn (so not true, I do read other stuff to). Either way Betrayal is well written, with well thought out steamy sex scenes and very few edits.

Quotes
This quote is rather vulgar but awfully sweet at the same time, when wisdom is added to the mix you have a quote worth sharing.
“Once you find the woman for you, Pike, it doesn’t matter how much pussy is lying around begging you to fuck it. Nothing is going to mean as much to you as sinking into the pussy that you call your own.”—Duke

Book Cover
The cover is alright, not anything that stands out and says this is what Betrayal is about.

Blurb Rating
I honestly can really say anything negative about this blurb. It is long but gives very little away and did drag me in to wanting to read Betrayal.

Book’s Blurb
He broke her heart. She refuses to be hurt again…

Mary has always had a crush on Pike but she vows never to fall for him again. With her leg broken, Mary needs to be taken care of. She moved into Holly’s place but there’s no way she can stay.

Her body will betray her.

Pike will not stand to see anyone else looking after his woman. He fucked up big but Mary is his, and he intends to claim her.

He can have her body. He’ll never have her heart.

Every woman he’s ever known has fallen into his lap. He doesn’t have to fight for what he wants. With Mary, he can have her whenever he wants but she’s not giving him anything in return. Her heart is covered in ice and he doesn’t know how to melt it so he can finally be with the woman he loves.

What will happen when he tries to make her his old lady? Can Mary really give Pike a second chance? What will Pike do to finally break the ice that’s keeping him out?

Be Warned: anal sex, public exhibition

I have read Trust in Me, Please! several times. Now that I think about it, the title does fit this story more then I thought it did originally. Shoot, the story starts with nobody believing Jayde, oh wait, the psychic believed her. Anyway, you can’t blame her for not trusting the wolves when they come knocking on her door. LOL, it sure chapped Micah’s hide to have his mate (whom he didn’t trust) turn down his protection but accept his cousin, the bear shifter’s protection.

Now for what I thought was rather a mislabeling. Siren claimed this story was an erotic story but from what I read there was very little bedroom scenes or even foreplay through most of the story until about midway through the book. When those scenes took place, they were pretty tame, which works with the story line making Trust in Me, Please! make more sense. They really should have listed the genre as Paranormal Romance and left the erotic out because it was an exaggeration of what the bedroom scene really were.

Trust in Me, Please! is worth reading and for those who don’t care for book porn, don’t worry it really is tame and easy to skip those chapters with out hindering the overall storyline.

Book Cover
The cover is also an exaggeration of the whole erotic theme that does not exist in this story.

Blurb Rating
The blurb is thankfully short but covers a lot of ground without giving away the entire story.

Book’s Blurb

Resilience.

My life was ripped out from underneath me. Serving time for a crime I didn’t commit wasn’t even the worst of it. The death of my baby and the implosion of my marriage destroyed me―gutted me.

It’s not easy escaping an abusive ex and being all alone, but I’m doing the best I can. After encountering Bulldog, my world shifts. Suddenly, I can see a future―something to look forward to. But when danger threatens to destroy that hope for something new, Bulldog may not be the fighter I thought he was. Through all the twists and turns, can he finally “man up” and show me a future I deserve?

Mason “Menace” Harrison

I’ve worked up from being the single dad on the original Moonshine Task Force to the leader of the Laurel Springs Police Department. Getting the title of Chief of Police is one of the most important things I’ve ever done.

On the second official day of my command – a teenage girl is taken.

I’ve never been the type of person to back down from a challenge. With my guys, my kids, and my wife by my side I know I can do anything I set my mind to. I just wasn’t counting on it possibly tearing the town of Laurel Springs apart.

Like always, when they need a knight in shining armor, I’ll be there. And I won’t let the girl go without a fight.

If there’s one thing I promise. It’s to keep my family and my town safe. Lord help anyone who stands in my way.

“Have you heard?” Mason asks as he comes through the sliding glass door.

In our lives, either he has the gossip, or I do. Being the most senior teacher at Laurel Springs High means a lot of people – whether they be student or adult – confide in me. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, so I assume not.”

He chucks his jacket and duty belt on the dining room table, before coming over and leaning against the counter. His hands are at his slim hips, taking my focus off his face for a split second. “Let me start out by saying it’s no one in our family, and for that I’m thankful. However, it is someone who goes to Laurel Springs High.”

“Oh no, Mase. What happened?” My heart drops into my stomach.

He runs a hand over his beard, his wedding ring glinting in the light of the kitchen. “Taylor Kingston was taken last night, and her parents were killed,” his voice is low, and full of pain.

“Taken? What do you mean? Like kidnapped?”

He nods, those dark eyes of his haunted and hollow. “Yeah, looked pretty brutal too. Archer got the call off the 911 feed, and when we went out she was gone, they were DOA. I’m just home for a few hours of sleep, and then I’ll be going back out. Crime Scene is out there right now. Hopefully they’ll be able to pick up some evidence for us. Right now we have nothing.”

“Kids are going to hear,” I pull my bottom lip between my teeth, worrying the skin. Immediately my mind goes to the students I care so much about. “She’s well-liked, popular, and doesn’t have an enemy. I can’t imagine anyone would do this.”

He sighs heavily. “Reminds me of when Caleb was in school and they lost a classmate. Cursory questions we’ve asked haven’t revealed anything about anyone who might have wanted to hurt the family. Finding her isn’t going to be easy.”

“None of this is easy.” I remind him.

“Nope, and it’s even heavier than normal. They don’t have neighbors for miles, babe. There were no cameras on the house, and we got a late start compared to whoever did this. We’re at zero. People are gonna have questions, and we’re not gonna have answers,” he blows out a deep breath, his shoulders drooping.

Reaching over, I grab his hand. “If there’s anything I know about you, it’s you’re gonna find her.”

“Second day on the fucking job, Rina,” he shakes his head. “We’ve never had anything like this in Laurel County.”

The only thing I can do is put my arms around him and hold on tight. “There’s a reason you were given this job, Mase. It’s because you and your team, are the best. You’ll find her, and you’ll figure out why the Kingston’s were targeted.”

“I wish I had as much faith in myself as you do in me, babe.”

Reaching up, I place a kiss on his cheek. “I have enough for both of us.”

Drew stared out over the water as he spoke, thinking about his life, how lucky he was that he could be himself, and how so many guys in his position couldn’t do that. He was surprised when Kevin leaned toward him and rested his head against Drew’s shoulder.

“Drew?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you think there’s any hope for me?”

Drew chuckled. “Sometimes I wonder if there’s any hope for me. But I’m still breathing, and you know what they say—where there’s life, there’s hope.”

“Yeah. Hope.” Kevin got quiet, and Drew waited. “I’ve got to find some hope,” he finally said.

“What do you want your hope to look like?” Drew asked, wondering what Kevin would say.

In a voice that was almost a whisper, Kevin said, “Oh, I dunno. Six feet two inches, light brown hair, and pale blue eyes, all in the best-looking package I’ve ever seen. And a heart as big as Texas.”

Something clicked in Drew’s chest, and he turned and took Kevin’s face in his hands, then kissed him. At first, Kevin seemed surprised, but then he moved into Drew and kissed him back.

Drew wanted that kiss to go on forever. It was without a doubt the most passionate kiss anyone had ever given him, and it was delicious and warm and sweet. He could feel his pulse throbbing in his temples and his heartbeat quickening, and all he could think about was Kevin naked in his bed, skin against skin and their arms locked around each other.

Deanndra Hall is a working author living in the far western end of the beautiful Bluegrass State with her husband of over 35 years and small menagerie of weird little dogs. When she’s not writing, she’s editing.

I Added A Blog New Page

I have been going through my library the last couple of days looking for duplicates and over all just checking to make sure they were cataloged the way I wanted when I realized I also need to do what I promised myself I would do at the first opportunity. In the past few years, I have purchased a couple of books from Amazon that turned out to be pirated, which is not cool. I feel like Amazon should also be doing due diligence to ensure the what is put into their system is not something that was stolen from another author. I feel double violated in the that because I purchased 2 books that turned out to be pirated, then turned around and spent more money to get the book from its real author. Both times I reported the pirate copies and not once did Amazon say ‘here let us fix this by returning the funds you spent on the pirate copy’ or better yet ‘let us exchanged the pirated copy for the real deal’ the later solution would be my favorite solution.

SOOOO, now we come to the new blog page I am creating and why I am creating this page. I am calling the page Pirate Watch List. I am creating this page to list any authors I come across that have for sure PIRATED someone else’s hard work from them. Just because it is out there does not mean you can take it and make it yours. This watch list is for those who have worked their fingers to the bone typing great stories for us to read.

Readers, if you come across a potentially pirated book let me know I will be happy to check it out then add it to the Pirate Watch List.

Authors, if you book has been pirated and you want to add it to the list let me know and I will check it and add it to the Pirate Watch List.
