KNOTTY GIRLS REVIEW:

Wonder With Me is a novella in Kristen Proby’s “With Me In Seattle” series. As you can guess by the series name, all of her books in the series are based in the Seattle area, but they are also stand alones.

I’ve been hooked on this series since the beginning, and it just keeps getting better. I’ll admit I have missed a couple books, but I’ll most certainly be going back to make them up.

In Wonder With Me, Reed Taylor gets the surprise of his life when he finds out he has a 4 year old daughter Piper. Her mother has passed away and left her with him, and now he’s determined to show her the best Christmas ever.

Enter interior designer Noel Thompson, Reed wants her to help make his home a holiday masterpiece, but he also has his own designs on Noel when he falls head over heels.

This is a delightful and sweet Christmas tale of two people who find each other and fall fast and hard. Reed and Noel have explosive chemistry,and Piper just adds that pinch of cuteness that gives you the warm and fuzzies this time of year. A truly wonderful novella!

4 STARS!

About WONDER WITH ME:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes a new story in her With Me In Seattle series…

Reed Taylor doesn’t pay much attention to the holidays—until he receives a surprise present. Four-year-old Piper is the daughter he never knew about, and with the death of her mother, is also now the roommate he never expected. He’s determined to make their first Christmas together one she’ll never forget.

Noel Thompson has gotten her share of strange requests in her career as an interior designer. The call to design a beautiful home for Christmas is more like a dream come true. And that was before she met her new employer—sexy and mysterious, he’s everything she ever hoped Santa would bring her.

As Noel showers his home with holiday spirit, Reed showers Piper with love. And the busy life he’s created for himself no longer seems nearly as important as the one Noel is helping him build with his daughter. But if he can’t convince his decorator to stay, this could be the only year he feels the true wonder of the season.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Shaking The Sleigh by Delancey Stewart

Title: Shaking the Sleigh

Author: Delancey Stewart

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: November 25, 2019

Blurb

I’ll just admit it right up front—I don’t love the holidays.

In fact, Christmas makes me downright cranky.

Call me the Grinch if you must, but if your dad chose that day to
decide he was wrong about that whole wanting a family thing, you’d grow up
miffed about mistletoe too. Every candy cane, ugly sweater, and falalalala
reminds me of the worst day of my life.

So when my uncle—a bigwig network executive—gives me one last shot to
salvage my disastrous TV production career on a show called Holiday
Homes, I’ve got no choice but to suck it up, head to the small town of
Singletree, and fake festive.

The problem?

Callan Whitewood. The sexy, sullen former pro-soccer player might be
the one person on earth who hates the holidays more than I do. After a
devastating injury ended his career, he’s left with a limp, no idea what to do
with his future, and a cheerless attitude worthy of Ebenezer Scrooge. But I’ve
got a TIME LIMIT to convince the gorgeous grump to allow his home to be
featured as the pinnacle of the Christmas episode of the show that’s going to
save my career.

That is, if I can keep my hands off him… but I’m having a bit of
trouble sticking to the task.

SHAKING THE SLEIGH is a standalone holiday romantic comedy with a
satisfying happily ever after, plenty of festive chuckles,
some sexy times and a few chinchillas. Maybe a cat. (And
there might be a wombat because wombats really do fit into almost any story.)

ADD TO GOODREADS

This is my first holiday book of the year and I’m so happy I started with it. It is the first time I’ve read from this author, but it definitely won’t be the last. It was funny, sweet, and had a bit of sadness to it.
April has one last chance to convince her producer uncle that she belongs on reality TV, so he gives her a shot on a show about the subject she likes the very least, Christmas. She has to go behind the scenes on Christmas Homes, a holiday decorating contest show. And as much of a Scrooge as she is, she runs into a bigger one.
Callan Whitewood has lost his soccer career and thinks he’s lost it all. Now he’s moved to be with his brother and 2 young nieces when he runs into a woman who just may be more stubborn than him.
I just loved these two characters together and I thought their chemistry was great. I could empathize with April and her glitter war. I have the same issue all the time, and It made me laugh.

Vargr by Cari Silverwood (beast horde 1)

Sleeping Beauty with a grim-dark twist.”

Cyn falls from the top floor of the world into the arms of Vargr, a beaster who rates a diamond 10 on the Scale of Hardness. In her hands is a piece of Ghoul Lord.

She’s forgotten the last five years of her life, the years of the invasion of the Ghoul Lords.

The beast horde was meant to save Earth. Once human, they now carry gene-warping nanomachines in their blood. No one told them they’d also been injected with the remnants of myths and legends.

They tried and they failed. What can Cyn with her amnesia and sparkly eyes possibly do? Vargr isn’t sure, but he’s beginning to see the pros of nailing a naked Cyn to the wall and floor, over and over, until he gets some good answers.

A crumbling world steeped in gothic sci-fi darkness, packed with throbbing, brutal males.

Purchase on Amazon

Anyone who has ever read a book by Cari Silverwood knows this won’t be a cheery romantic tale, in fact, you can be prepared for some moments that may make you cringe. That’s how good Cari is at crafting her dark, gothic post apocalyptic worlds.

Cyn wakes up in a precarious position and has to fight her way away from the one called the Ghoul Lord, a truly horrifying creature who’s come to the planet to destroy it.

She ends up running into a large man, who has been modified to carry nanomachines to help in the fight to save Earth. He is a Beast horde. Although Cyn drives him crazy,he decides to help her, after all, someone he loves is still trapped with the Ghoul lord. But the escape doesn’t go free of problems. And the GhoulLord certainly isn’t letting her get away.

There are less outright power play scenes here, but they are certainly not gone.Vargr is most definitely a powerful, dominant and hot male and he makes Cyn submit to his authority. Not a bad place if I say so myself.

Book Review: Submitting to Two Doms by BJ Wane

After Kelsey Hammond was assaulted, her former FBI foster parent’s pleaded with her to spend a few weeks with their friends in Montana while they investigated the incident. Since she would do anything for them, she grudgingly agreed, wondering how she would pass the time on a ranch in the middle of nowhere without going stir crazy. As soon as she caught sight of her two hosts, Greg Young and Devin Fisher, she decided what better way to take her mind off her troubles than with an affair with one of them.

Ex-FBI agents, Greg and Devin, vowed never to get personally involved with another woman under their protection after their last case ended in tragedy. When their former boss asked for their help, the two best friends butt heads over how to answer them. Between the insecurity reflected in Kelsey’s blue eyes, the desperation behind her flirtations and discovering her submissive side, both men found themselves succumbing to the petite blonde.

While Kelsey basked in the dominant attention of both her cowboys, she continued to insist she couldn’t wait to get back to her life in Philadelphia. It wasn’t until the threat against her was verified that the truth came out about her past and a few disturbing mishaps occurred that Greg and Devin had to consider one of their guests was there to harm the woman they’d both grown to care for. It took the guys saving her life, freeing her to return home for Kelsey to realize home really was where the heart was and hers was in Montana with her two cowboys.

BJ Wane has done it again! Her hot and lusty cowboy doms are back, and this time we get two of them! In the fifth book of her wildly popular Cowboy Doms series, BJ has long been a favorite author of mine, especially since her Virginia Doms series.

This time out accountant Kelsey Hammond is hired to audit the books at Club Dominion. When her curiosity gets the better of her, she finds herself attacked in the upper halls. Her foster parents are agents, and decide that she needs to be sent away for her own protection.

Enter Greg Young and Devin Fischer. Cowboys, agents and most importantly, Doms. But Devin wants nothing to do with the woman who gets under his skin, and Greg knows they really shouldn’t Can Kelsey break down their defenses? And will they find out if the threat is real?

You’ll want to grab this one up and find out for yourself!

She nodded before lying face down on the padded bench with a cutout for her nose and mouth. With her knees resting on the kneeler and her hips perched on the edge of the bench, the position was surprisingly comfortable. Until her arms were strapped down at her sides with a band over each wrist, followed by a wide strap tightening across her lower back. She yanked on the restraints, an automatic response to the ripple of unease that dulled her initial excitement. The instant anxiety over her helplessness changed with just as much speed to an arousing wave of heat, dispelling her cold panic as much as their deep voices rumbling in her ears.

“Deep breath, Kelsey. You’re all right.” Devin’s no-nonsense order.

“We’re right here, little bit. You’re safe.” Greg’s warmer encouragement.

Hearing both men so close eased the last of her tension while ratcheting up her arousal. “Remember,” Greg continued as she felt Devin move away, “you don’t tell us, we tell you.” He slid his hand down to her skirt and pulled it up. Cool air rose goosebumps across her buttocks as he lowered her panties, exposing her backside to whoever stood close enough to see. “Give me a color.” His hand cracked on her right cheek.

“Green, Sir,” she gasped, no longer caring if she had an audience. The only thing that mattered was having their hands and mouths on her again. As far as fucking in public, that was something she shied away from contemplating.

“Good girl. Keep your head down. Devin is returning with vibrating anal beads. You’ll like those.”

Anal beads? Oh, dear. Just what have I gotten myself into this time? They didn’t give her time to wonder or fret. Fingers spread her cheeks and rubbed ointment around her puckered back entrance before pushing past the tight resistance to grease her insides. She shook as those thick digits pulled out of her and a row of cool, hard, round balls were pressed inside her.

“Relax, baby,” Devin ordered as she tensed against the tight stretching and stuffed-full sensation encompassing her rectum. “Just two more.”

Another push and the fourth smooth globe rolled inside her. Kelsey shook from the last insertion, exhaling her pent-up breath on a whoosh as soon as she adjusted to the foreign invasion. The next ten minutes passed in a blur of painful, stimulating swats delivered across both buttocks with a leather paddle as small pulsations erupted along the sensitive tissues lining her rear channel. Her tormentor’s deep murmurs kept her on edge as effectively as the slow build-up of throbbing, heated pain.

“You pushed for our attention, and now you have it.” Devin caressed one burning cheek.

“And you’ve thanked us for our thoughtfulness by complaining.” She heard the paddle fall on the floor and assumed that was Greg’s hand roaming over her other buttock.

Be careful stating what you want. Kelsey hadn’t been, she knew that now, as she lay bound and at their mercy. She knew they wouldn’t hurt her and knowing the safeword gave her the courage not to use it as they released her wrists and the middle strap and then covered her eyes with a silk blindfold as she lifted her head.

AUTHOR BIO:

I live in the Midwest with my husband and our dog, a lovable Great Pyrenees/Standard Poodle. I love dogs, enjoy spending time with my daughter, babysitting dogs and kids, reading and working puzzles. We have traveled extensively throughout the states, Canada and just once overseas, but I now prefer being a homebody. I worked for a while writing articles for a local magazine but soon found my interest in writing for myself peaking. My first book was strictly spanking erotica, but I slowly evolved to writing erotic spanking romance with a touch of suspense. My favorite genre to read is suspense.

You know when you just find that book that you settle in with and don’t want to stop reading? Well this is that book. Submitting to the Lawyer is the 4th book in BJ’s Cowboy dom series, and each cowboy just keeps getting hotter and hotter as the series progresses on!

Little did Dan know, Nan had come back to town after dealing with the worst week of her life. She meets someone while visiting her brother who changes how she feels about playing, so she desperately tries to avoid Master Dan upon her return. But Dan isn’t having any of that, and he soon finds out just what happened in New Orleans.

It’s a thrilling, erotic page turner that will have you strapped to your comfy seat of choice from page 1 until the end! This is one you don’t want to miss out on!

Jungle Salvation by M.A. Jewell

Dragged back into the human world by well-meaning friends, jaguar shifter Matteo D’Cruz realizes he’s been in cat form for over seventy years. With another transformation, he could lose his tenuous hold on his humanity. There’s no salvation for a feral shifter, only execution. Damaged by grief and guilt, he doesn’t care overmuch. However, when he discovers an unmated female shifter, he can’t resist her scintillating allure or his instinct to protect her at all costs.

Carefree Dakota Gorman travels to Brazil to rescue her sister. Determined to expose the drug lords who have manipulated her sibling into a hurried wedding, she’s certain the baffling hottie Matteo is one of them. After Dakota’s sister turns into a giant jaguar before her eyes, she must confront a new reality, one including hidden family traits.

Matteo helps her trigger her first exhilarating metamorphosis into a jaguar, leaving no doubt about her genetics, but her joy is cut short. A blackmailer sends Matteo a video of her transformation, demanding DNA samples. The extortionist threatens to post the recording to the internet and expose the shifters to the world. Dredging up courage she didn’t know she had, Dakota joins Matteo and the other jag shifters to save her family—and her new species—from scientific experimentation

Review:

Jungle Salvation is the long anticipated second release in M.A. Jewell’s Jungle Queens series and is definitely worth the wait!

While paranormal is not my favorite in romance, she hit this one out of the park. The writing was simply wonderful, and the reader feels immersed in the Jaguar’s world of the lush jungles of Brazil.

This book is about Kelsie’s sister Dakota, who has come to find out why Kelsie has left home and decided to get married. While there, she meets Matteo.

Matteo hasn’t shifted out of his jaguar form in years, but he does now, and when he meets Dakota, all bets are off.

But Dakota’s life is in danger, and it will take an army to get her back. This is a great read by M.A Jewell, and if you haven’t read her before, I suggest you start with the first book in the series. Jungle Rapture.

Excerpt

“Moon Bitten” by Angharad Thompson Rees

I pull the hood of my red cape over my head, concealing myself against the gust of frigid winds biting with ice and spite. The skies hold the promise of more snow to come. He does not let go of my hand. And it’s not the snow concerning him.

“Blaxton,” I say—his name as sweet as honey on my recently-kissed lips. “Do not concern yourself. It is but a short walk through the woods, and yes, I promise to stay on the tracks.”

I raise an eyebrow, threatening him to contradict me. But he should know my penchant for wandering and losing myself. That’s how we met—deep within the woods in the first days of spring, when frost thawed atop the lake and his green eyes melted ice from my nervous heart.

He pulls me into his chest, his body warm against my own, tempting me to stay. Tempting me to never leave. I melt into him, lips hot as the first flakes of snow dance from the sky.

“Blaxton, no,” I say, pulling myself away with reluctance. The space between his heart and mine gapes as if the very universe could fill the hole. “I have to get back to Grandma, you know I do.”

His face drops at her mention. Grandma despises him despite his soft features, warm honey eyes and sweet, crooked smile. Though I suspect her hatred is aimed more at the threat he will steal me from her. Just as her daughter, my mother, was stolen so many years ago I can no longer picture her face. But that was different. Mother did not fall in love as I have. She was taken…

By wolves.

A perfectly timed howl echoes across the valley, carried along the land muted by snow. Blaxton raises his own eyebrow at the beast’s call and I laugh. An empty tin-like sound of hollow mirth and creeping fear.

“I’ll be fine. Tomorrow,” I say, allowing a smile to creep across my frost-numb face. “Let’s meet tomorrow, same time and place.”

Blaxton captures loose strands of my red hair in his pale fingers. The contrast startling like blood on snow. Tucking the strands behind my left ear, his fingers trail my cheek as he kisses my forehead. “Tomorrow,” he promises.
