REVIEW: Prowleryns (Box Set) by Kate Hill


Prowleryn Cat Shifters Eber, Kane, and Demitri find their mates in the most unlikely of matches.

Kane's Courtship: The passion between Kane and Ivonne is hot enough to melt an Alaskan winter, but her troubled past casts a shadow on their new-found happiness. Can a secretive cat shifter and a woman who's a magnet for mystery find true love?

Demitri's Devil: Demitri's new mate is the most impossible female he has ever met, yet he can't resist her. Patricia can't understand how she can be attracted to such an unbearable man, yet no one has ever made her feel like Demitri. Nothing and no one will keep her from standing by him, regardless of the danger.

RATING:  5 Stars

If you're into a man with animal magnetism and is a beast between the sheets then the Prowleryns Box Set is for you! You will fall head over paws for Elder, Kane, and Demetri and love the females that drive them crazy. I loved reading these so much that when I finished Demetri's story (the last in the set) I started right back at the beginning. I loved them. The only negative thing I can say is I hated that it was longer or that there were more Prowleryns to read about. I can't wait for the next installment!

REVIEW:
RATING:  5 Stars

Love's Shattered Heart by Kat Barrett is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I loved her take on vampires-both keeping them traditional while making the vampire myth her own. The chemistry between Autumn and Micah is explosive, magnetic, and passionate. His past torments are soothed by Autumn and going on that journey with the both of them and seeing him evolve was wonderful and kept me engaged as a reader. I would definitely read this book again and recommend it with a 5 star MUST READ THIS BOOK rating. It's way better than any kind of Fifty Shades of Housewives, that is for sure. Hot, sexy, passionate, and a gorgeous story is the best way I can sum up this book.

REVIEW: The SEAL's Angel by Petie McCarty

Navy SEAL Sean MacKay's teammate is murdered after stealing a deadly nerve-gas formula from Syrian terrorists. Naval Intelligence believes MacKay's teammate was a traitor and shipped the stolen formula to his sister in the states for safekeeping. MacKay is given orders to find the sister before the terrorists do and to retrieve the stolen formula at all costs.

Foreclosure looms for Cory Rigatero as she fights to keep her rustic resort near Mt. St. Helens afloat after her brother deserted her to join the SEAL teams. Cory's whole world dives into a tailspin when Sean MacKay shows up at her resort with the news of her brother's death and the wild suspicion her brother may have sent her traitorous classified documents for safekeeping. No way will Cory trust MacKay -- the man who once seduced her and then vanished into the night without a trace.

REVIEW:

RATING:  3.5

‘Seal’s Angel’ is a contemporary romantic suspense, involving a Navy Seal investigating whether his teammate and friend was a traitor who was murdered after stealing a chemical weapon formula from terrorists and shipping that formula home to his sister.  Lt. Sean MacKay goes to watch the sister, Corinna Rigatero, hoping to either prove his friend was not a traitor, or to retrieve the formula, before the terrorists come looking for it.

Sean also wants to protect Cory.  He’d met her some years earlier, and still feels a romantic (and sexual) connection to her, so at first he tries to basically disguise himself as a handyman at Bel Tesoro, her resort.  The last surviving member of her family, Cory is struggling just to keep the rustic resort she inherited up and running.  Although she does have a few friends in the nearby community, there are also a lot of greedy and/or lusty foes just waiting for their chance to take her down, in one way or another.  She feels her brother deserted her when he went into the Navy, leaving her alone, and she also feels that Sean betrayed her back when she first met him.  She is hurt, lonely, and angry, desperate and determined to keep the resort running, but also facing foreclosure.

Eventually, of course, Cory realizes who her new handyman is.  She would like him to leave, but he’s able to help her when several suspicious incidents threaten the resort, including contamination of the water supply.  The tension continues to rise; finally, the terrorists do show up, and Sean has to send for help from his Navy team.

This is definitely an enjoyable book, well worth reading, with a lot of interesting elements and characters, especially Cory and Sean.  Unfortunately, there are a few too many interesting elements and characters, and sometimes I got distracted.  Who among all these men hanging around are friends, foes, or just part of the scenery?  Could she have that dangerous chemical formula, without realizing it? And what about the resort’s supposed historic attachment to Lucky Luciano and the mob?  There are just a few too many questions like this dancing around; taken individually, they can be fascinating, but all together, they sometimes slow things down, which can be distracting and frustrating. 

Because there are so many enjoyable things about ‘Seal’s Angel’, I give the book 3.5 stars, and I am grateful for the reviewer’s copy I was given.
