The Dom War changed the
world. Without the blood pets provide, masters die. Without the safe
haven masters provide, pets die. But the fight over pets is a constant
battle that grows more dangerous with each passing second.
Remsen
Marrik doesn't know what to do when he inherits a pet from a man he has
always been enemies with. Giving Boy up isn't an option because hunters
are after the sweet little pet. But can he settle for someone he never
chose?
Boy is a pet. He's been one for as long as he can
remember. When his old master is killed, Boy is sent to Marrik, the one
master that might be able to keep him safe from the hunters that are
after him. But Marrik is unlike any master Boy has ever had and the
rules Boy has always followed have changed. Can Boy learn to trust in
this new master who seems to want more from him than any master ever has
or will his own fears place him right into the hands of the hunters?

I read an excerpt for this story a couple weeks back and decided I had to read it. I'm glad I did, it was such an interesting take on the Dom/Sub scene that I was fascinated from the start, the Dom's are vampires and the subs are human. Remsen inherits Boy from another Dom when said Dom is killed, so Remsen now has a sub which he's never kept one for long before and then finds out that Boy is not only his new sub but also his mate. These two go on the run from the same people who killed Boy's former master, and fall in love on the way.
I felt that this story while it is a mate story was more world building and action packed than building a relationship, it's an exciting story that kept me on my toes and surprised me with who the bad guy was it's also Sexy as Hell too. I recommend
Riley and Jack
Campbell-Hayes are in a good place. Jack is expanding the DD and
training quarter horses, Riley is so close to his first ethical based
contract that he can almost taste it and Hayley is nearly ten and happy
as all out.
Jack hires Robbie, a man recovering from a great
loss, to be his right hand man. Meanwhile Riley's mischievous
photographer friend, Eli, decides the DD is the perfect backdrop for a
cowboy themed model shoot. Eli has secrets not even Riley knows about
but despite what he is hiding he falls in lust with Robbie at first
sight. Everyone except Robbie can see how perfect Eli would be for him.
What happens when secrets spill and lies are discovered? And just how far will Riley and Jack go to play matchmaker?
Against
the backdrop of twenty half naked models on DD land, and in the midst
of fighting the oil establishment that just won't give Riley a chance,
Texas Heat is the story of one hot summer in Texas with a Gay Rodeo,
humor, angst and a love between two men that just grows stronger every
day.

Is it bad that I loved this book more for the fact that it's mostly about Riley & Jack with a side couple thrown in? I had put off reading it thinking we'd only get a little bit of the hottest couple ever so I was really happy to be wrong. Jack & Riley have to be one of my absolute top favorite couples, their story is fascinating, incredibly well written, on top of being Hot as Hell. Texas Heat was such a well rounded story there's action, drama, ROFL moments and an intense beautiful love story that I wouldn't mind reading more about. Plus we get an additional couple to root for, though Robbie and Eli had their own individual issues to work through I felt that the main story was about Jack & Riley and how their lives have changed being together. I will say I adored this story, and this series is another comfort read of mine, it's just so intense but beautiful that I can't help but smile when I do. I Highly Recommend but I really think if you haven't read this series please do it's a really wonderful story.

This is my first NR Walker book, which I saw on rarelydustybooks blog that she put on her gotta read list, read the blurb and liked what I read decided to buy it and Damn I'm glad. I loved this story there's drama, some laughs, major action and some really really Hot sex! The story is told from Matthew's POV and he explains what it's like to be a gay in the closet Detective, he's even afraid to tell his partner whose also his best friend. It's kinda easy for him to stay in the closet until he meets his new boxing trainer at the gym, then sparks fly and all hell breaks loose. LOL I enjoyed the conflicts, and the falling in love between Matt & Kira (I loved the play on the name) There's also the bad guys that Matt and his team are trying to catch if they don't get to Matt first. The mystery and trying to figure it out was intriguing and kept me bouncing in my seat till the end, the consequences of going after the bad guys caught me by surprise but in a really good way. This is simply a great story it had everything that I really enjoyed all wrapped up in this fun, exciting romantic love story. I Highly Recommend
Joe told Scott to
expect a letter from him, and it wasn’t an easy one to write. Joe’s also
sure that it won’t be a simple letter to receive either. He’ll be
asking a lot from Scott.
Will Scott be able to follow the orders
this time? Will he be able to accept the challenge? Joe doesn’t know. It
could go either way. All he can do now is hope like hell that their
chance of a happily-ever-after hasn’t been lost forever...

This series I love but also it drives me crazy too, see I truly love these two characters Joe & Scott have wormed their way into my heart and I really really want them to have their HEA. So what makes me crazy is I gotta wait for another month or so for the next installment ARGH! I know I'm too impatient but I just love this story the intense emotions that I feel when I read this series is amazing. They are short stories so that really explains my impatientness (is that even a word?) but there is so much told in each story that it doesn't feel like a short story more like a soap opera where you have to wait till the next day or so for whats gonna happen next. I have to say I'm always extremely happy with each story and the fact that we get to know Joe & Scott's characters, their fears and hopes. I can't wait (literally) to read the next one I recommend

I got this early by buying from Total-ebound.com, so I hope it's ok that I'm reviewing this book. Either way it's fucking AWESOME but I will warn you that if you haven't read Hellbourne you need to first. The first book was my first Amber Kell book I read and the first to make me an absolute fan-girl, I loved the complexities and the definitions in this new world she made and of course who can complain about all the extremely HOT sex? Not me!
Anyway this story is a continuation of the first book (which I believe is actually 3 books in one) so Luc is back with Bran his werewolf mate and happy but missing his other mate the vampire Nikko since Bran & Nikko hate each other. Yes you really need to read the first one, so things are going okay when Luc's uncle (o_0) the Archangel Michael needs him to free his dad Lucifer. I swear ninety percent of this story I was either laughing my ass off with the wonderful Ms. Kell's sarcasm or wanting to take a cold shower with all the scorching sex. There's action and some exciting nail biting moments but the fore front story is the ongoing struggle for Luc on keeping both his mates with him without them killing each other.
This sequel ROCKED and I personally would love to read more of this fun intense relationship and their secondary characters too. I Highly Recommend.

Yes! We get Riley's story and I don't hate him in this one, I actually get why he acted the way he did in the first book to this series now.
I have to say my favorite thing about Rileys story was that his feeling for Lane did not automatically disappear when he and Conner get together there's still some struggle with it and even Gresh comments on it. I have to say I was even more fascinated with this series after reading this book. While Conner is struggling with his own issues (finding Eric) he is also falling in love with Riley, and that comes with it's own set of issues. Like when Lane falls asleep in Riley's bed holy shit that was intense, but funny too because it's innocent just hard to explain. I'm liking the intensity of this series, with the chemistry between so many different characters it feels like a tv show that I would watch every week. LOL I can't wait to read the next book which isn't out yet or I would have bought it already. Besides sexy cowboys, doctors and rangers, the storyline is exciting and of course the sex is Hot as Hell! I Highly recommend but you gotta read Texas Rough to get the most outta this story but I think you'll enjoy it I know I did.

5 STARS
I love to read a romantic epic love story, this is that story for me. I have read a lot of mate/shifter stories but none as intense and beautiful as this one. First of all it's written by Cardeno C so I knew it would have that wonderful romantic feel to it that I love reading in this authors books second it's a really different take on the whole shifter mating plot line. Third it's more drama involved in this story than in previous books by Cardeno C, but just as intense and emotional.
Zev is an alpha wolf whose mate is not only human but a guy too, and of course that's not acceptable in his pack. This story does have lots and lots of flashbacks to where these two were younger and how their friendship and later their relationship develops which explains each of their characters and why the act the way they do. The ensuing stress of not only keeping Jonah a secret but keeping Jonah from finding out Zev is a werewolf makes for an interesting story that has some severe consequences that Zev & Jonah fight to survive. I liked both MC's in this story and understood where each was coming from easily, the story world is well written to where it felt real and this love story even with its major issues was movie epic.
I so hope to read more to this series, I seriously enjoyed reading it. Through tears, laughter and lot's of sighs this book was awesome, I Highly Recommend.
