The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . BIG BAD BOSS: MATED (Big Bad Boss, #4) . . .  We are back with shifter royalty, Brick and Madi. This time the danger comes in the form of a request from the Vampire King. I'm giving nothing away. I do recommend this novella to all that have enjoyed the Big Bad Boss Trilogy. This was a delicious addition with spice and intrigue. It was just enough to keep you updated on what was going on in the lives of Madi, Brick, and the rest of the boys.

There are many new stories related to this world that I am waiting to see. Billy and the Vampire King. Who will be the Vampire Queen?

I read the story first and then got the audio to match the rest of the series set. Now I can just put them in my list and play them all at will. Narration added to the enjoyment of the story.

READ-2-REVIEW - PNR - DANE (Sköll Ranch Shifter, #1) by A. Samson

Love knows no boundaries. Not time, nor distance, nor even your fate as a wolf.

Dane, an all-new childhood friends to lovers, shifter paranormal romance from bestselling author Avery Samson writing as A. Samson is now available!

Dane remembers the first time he saw her. She was in his older brother’s grade school class, but he knew then she was his. He never lost sight of this truth. Even when she moved away and he grew up.

Now she’s back in town and all bets are off. He might get his mate after all if he can just protect her from the dark presence stalking her every move.

Tani is back in her small town in Oklahoma working at her old high school job. The last thing she is looking for is romance. Except, the cute boy who used to smile at her over the counter is now all grown up and he is a sight to behold.

He doesn’t need the headache that is the only thing she can offer. She’s not just pregnant with another man’s baby, but now she has yet a third man stalking her. That doesn’t seem to matter to Dane.

She’s all he ever wanted and he plans to get what he wants.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . DANE (Sköll Ranch Shifter, #1) . . . My introduction to Dane was unexpected. Dane appeared to be on the shy side, but still protective. Dane was a man on a mission once he found out that Tani was back in town. Tani was back but she was not open to dating. She was holding on to a secret. A secret that she felt would turn any and all men away from her or judge her. 

Dane may have been younger than her but he was all she could dream of. He was from a good family. He was sweet and quite. He made her laugh. He was attentive. She still turned him down when he asked for a date. She never wants to see the disgust in his eyes when he learns her truth. Before any of this can happen, Tani becomes the object of a strangers attention. Things here were not as they appeared. 

What I liked most about meeting the Sköll Ranch Shifters were they were about family. They worked together, ate together, and protected together. I also enjoyed the origin story from Freja. What I did not like was that it felt like a piece of the picture was missing. The stalker was not clear why. The Dallas connection was a disappointment. But overall I did enjoy the story because of the family and each of their roles. It will be interesting to see how each get their own story.

READ-2-REVIEW - PNR - BIG BAD BOSS: Marked (Werewolves of Wall Street, #3) by Renee Rose & Lee Savino

RULE #3 OF WALL STREET: NEVER BACK DOWN

Big Bad Boss: Marked, an all-new forbidden, fated mates, paranormal romance and the third book in the Werewolves of Wall Street Series from USA Today bestselling authors Renee Rose and Lee Savino is now available!

No one can know I've claimed the human as my mate.

The enemies are at the gates–one wrong move and I’ll lose it all. My world will never be safe for her.

If my pack finds out that I’ve mated a human, they’ll revolt. The fractures will grow deeper than ever and we'll be picked apart one by one.

The lives of everyone I love hang in the balance.

Madison may bear my mark, but she isn’t content to remain my dirty little secret.

Now I must choose–love or my pack.

Either way, one will die.

Marked is book three in the Big Bad Boss trilogy. The books must be read in order. It features a billionaire boss-hole wolf shifter and his freakishly smart assistant. 

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . BIG BAD BOSS: Marked (Werewolves of Wall Street, #3) . . .  What a place to start. I was not sure what I got myself into, but I was sure happy that I made that leap. Maddie knew who she was and she owned it. She was strong and determined. She was more than just a human in a paranormal world. She had her own strength. Brick was an alpha with a problem or a blessing. He had a choice to make and it may just break him and his pack. Billy was a prick. 

I found some interesting secondary characters with their own spotlight in this story. I also have to say that I should have read the blurb closer. I started with this installment in the series. You will definitely want to start at the beginning. You will have more context to fill in the spaces. I went back after reading this one. 

Rose & Savino have themselves a hit and a lead in to another story or two.

READ-2-REVIEW - PNR FANTASY - VEILS AND VAMPIRES (Vampires of the Daemonverse, #2) by CEE BEE

Veils and Vampires

Vampires of the Daemonverse, #2

by CEE BEE

Publication date: October 14th 2023

Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance

BLURB

Highlander meets Twilight with a dash of Fifty Shades of Grey in this vampire romantasy…

Caelin MacGregor is an ancient king with a new love

Ages ago, I ruled a clan of vampire raiders. We were allies to the Vikings and enemies of the Rus. That life ended when the bloodkin plague wiped out all our women, including my beloved vampire bride, Elisava. A thousand years have passed. My heart remains empty. Then I see a human woman named Lexa. For the first time in ages, I feel true desire, respect and love. Could Lexa actually be a lost bloodkin lady … or is she a horrible trick from Pyri, the ancient fire goddess of the Rus raiders?

Lexa Uznetsov has a plan

To save my sister, Sash, I took on my father’s debt to Konstantin the Rus, leader of the New York Bratva. As a result, my life became a never-ending (and incredibly illegal) stakeout for the mob. After years of scheming, I’ve finally come up with a solid escape plan: find all three pieces of the infamous Veil Pendant. Once I reassemble this magical item, I’ll have the power to cure my sister … as well as the ability to say buh-bye to Konstantin. Sure, legends warn that reforming the Veil Pendant may bring about some nastiness called Pyri’s doomsday. Yet if it saves Sash, I’m willing to risk anything.

“Veils and Vampires is amazing! It has action and adventure and a little spicy. Enough that it makes you drool and want more. Honestly a totally different take on modern day vampire soulmates. I devoured this book in one sitting.” – Teresa, Goodreads

Lexa Kozlov must pay her family’s massive debt to the mob… all while raising even more money to save her little sister. The result? Lexa’s trapped in a never-ending (and incredibly illegal) stakeout for the Bratva. She barely has time for sleep, let alone find love.

Enter Caelin Vass, the handsome Scotsman who runs Empire Investments. Caelin offers Lexa a new job with dollars galore, as well as a hot bod (that would be his own) to contemplate every workday. Even so, Lexa isn’t sure she should take the gig. Freaky things keep happening whenever Lexa and Caelin are together. Simply put, the energy between them is magical, sensual, and way overwhelming. Lexa faces a big question: is she leaving her old prison just to enter a worse one… or is Caelin Vass all he seems and more?

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . VIOLINES AND VAMPIRES (Vampires of the Daemonverse, #1) . . . I loved this when it was a mini serial on Kindle Vella (Blood Slave). Now, it is more. There is more to explore and imagine. This time around it is also a quick read but it has so much to revisit and to discover. There was some of Caelin's life before. The fiery connection between Caelin and Lexa. I am certainly looking forward to how CEE BEE bring Caelin and Lexa to the main stream. This was just part one. There is more in store for this couple.  

Lexa Uznetsov she loved her sister very much. (sidenote: I did not like her mother at all.) She was willing to almost anything to make sure she had what she needed. Caelin MacGregor was mysterious, sexy, and oh my. There was something more there between them. It was alluring and seductive. Their first meeting was it really the first time?  I am waiting for more from Caelin and Lexa.. Where will this go? How far will it go? Will she be safe? Will Caelin be the answer or the questions?

If you read this on Kindle Vella, then you are going to enjoy it even more here. There are extras. The extras I loved. The history. The richness. The will it happen. How? When? Caelin is so much more than he appears to be. Lexa is more also. Follow their journey.

READ-2-REVIEW - PNR - PLEASING PLATINUM (Draak Legacy, #3) by Xavier Neal

 PLEASING PLATINUM
The Draak Legacy, #3
by Xavier Neal
Release Date: October 21st 2022 Genre/Tropes: Paranormal Romance/Paranormal Rom Com/Office/Workplace Romance   

BLURB

From USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Xavier Neal comes the next book in the action-packed, laugh-out-loud, paranormal romance series you don't want to miss...     

You hate Mondays?   

Try finding out that the mother you thought was dead is actually alive, being attacked by elves - who are definitely not Santa's friendly little helpers - and discovering that you're not nearly as human as you believed you were.   

Yeah.   

All before five o'clock.   

Oh, and just in case all that wasn't enough to have me reaching for a bottle of wine rather than a glass, it turns out I'm also mated to an ancient dragon.   

An ancient dragon who just so happens to be my boss.   

Argh.    

Any chance this is just one giant cos-play convention I don't remember registering for?   

No?   Well, it'd be irresponsible for me to not at least ask if that were a possibility.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . PLEASING PLATINUM (Draak Legacy, #3) . . . The series is cute and made me laugh. The nicknames of each couple makes the cute that much more. This time around we had beanstalk and pint size. These two were truly made for each other. The Fares nailed this pairing. Their foreplay was talking manuals and organizational speaking. The ancient dragon and half orc human had more in common than the average pairing. The battle with Magetech was still going on. There were a few small victories for the Draak clan, but was it enough. There was found family, a mating, a new generation of Draak's ready to be born. A new world with endless possibilities. 

In this final installment, we meet some good characters, in the secondary. We see where the story/ies could go. We find connections and want more. Will there be more to come from the Draak Legacy? For this group there was variation, connections, and the strength of family. 

Oh! Did I forget to say that I love dragons? I really love dragons. Yeah...

LISTEN-2-REVIEW - YA PARANORMAL - SILENCE AT THE LOCK (Steele Secrets, #3) by Andie Cumbo-Floyd Narrator Aven Shore

 SILENCE AT THE LOCK

Steele Secrets, #3
by Andi Cumbo-Floyd
Narrator: Aven Shore
Length: 5 hours and 14 minutes
Released: April 29th 2022
Producer: Audiobook Empire
Publisher: Andilit
Genre: Paranormal; Young Adult

   The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . SILENCE AT THE LOCK (Steele Secrets, #3) . . . There was so much here. The were so many things that felt so real and so relevant to today's world. I have to say that I was not expecting to connect so well with Sarah. This was a town full of secrets, lies, and a few truths. 

Andie Cumbo-Floyd and the voice of Aven Shore are back with the third installment in the Steele Secrets series. Aven Shore has done her job well. She gave life and realism to the characters she portrayed. She brought forth characters you want to meet and root for them to succeed. 

I would recommend that those that are seeing this for the first time to line them up and listen to them back to back. Have a binge and see how things progress. I found some of the information relayed my be offensive to some. That would be a caution I would use with listening with smaller ears present. I would also use this caution for some adults with prejudices. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Audiobook Empire. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it. 

I didn’t expect to meet a grieving ghost or her dead mother. 

But then, I didn’t expect to find out my town had been the site of a lynching, a lynching that had left my friend Sarah motherless and had made her a victim of murder as well. 

Their deaths aren’t ancient history, though, not when one man who was a witness still holds sway in our small town. My friends and I have truth on our side, but will that be enough to keep us safe? 

If only telling the truth didn’t come so hard to so many.

 

  

 

Andi Cumbo-Floyd lives in the Southwestern Mountains of Virginia with her young son, an old dog, and a puppy who likes to eat furniture. When she’s not writing she likes to cross-stitch, binge magical shows, and garden.

 

Aven Shore is an audiobook narrator living in her off-grid tiny house in rural Eastern Canada, surrounded by forest and chicken friends, and honeybees. She loves books so much she's listening to one almost every minute she's not narrating one (she narrates romance as Avie Paige). She narrates live on Discord with other romance narrators on the Haven server. She is longing to travel and hike in mountains again, and dreaming of sleep in the lava fields of Iceland under Northern lights again, her favorite place in the world. Her past lives include being a carpenter, firefighter, tax accountant, and competitive snowboarder.

LISTEN-2-REVIEW - YA PARANORMAL - CHARLOTTE & THE TWELVE (Steele Secrets, #2) by Andie Cumbo-Floyd Narrator Aven Shore

CHARLOTTE & THE TWELVE 

Steele Secrets, #2

by Andi Cumbo-Floyd

Narrator: Aven Shore

Length: 5 hours and 41 minutes

Released: April 26th 2022

Producer: Audiobook Empire

Publisher: Andilit

Genre: Paranormal; Young Adult

  The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . CHARLOTTE AND TWELVE (Steele Secrets, #2) . . . Andie Cumbo-Floyd and the voice of Aven Shore are back with installment two of the Steele Secrets series. We have more adventures in the paranormal kind in a small town where things are not all that they seem to be. Short but filled with mystery, teen mischief, and a small town mentality.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Audiobook Empire. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

It’s not every day a ghost curls up in your lap … 

But when little Henrietta decides I’m trustworthy and introduces me to her teacher, Charlotte, I find myself wrapped up in the story of their murders. 

Before long, my friends and I are saving a building, solving a murder, and telling the stories that a lot of people in our small town would rather be left untold. Our best hope for ourselves and for Henrietta and Charlotte is that the truth really will set us free.
