I am pretty sure that both characters at some point got fucked back to life after they died. Some people say they would be happy to go during sex. These guys will never experience that end. This takes the whole sex being good for health to a whole new level.

So this was... bizarre, odd, insane, and very entertaining. I couldn't put it down, and believe me, there were times when I wanted to. I really wanted to. For years to come in will say, “I once read a book where a man climbed into his girlfriend's rubbery vagina and fell in love.”

I am sure a lot of people could find “hidden” symbolism in this, but for me it was just a book to read that made my jaw drop and hang open.

Will I read more bizarre, I like that word, fiction? I may at some point, but for now this one was enough.

A perfect, quick read if you want to have a lot of “huh!?” moments. The writer is good at what he does.

I liked this. I like the Mercy books better, but this really adds to the world. It really adds to how much the reader knows about the wolf packs and how they work. Anna bugs me though. I can't pinpoint why, but she does. Charles is said to be very dominate and tough, but I wish he would do something a bit more badass than we have seen so far... Maybe the next book we will see his killer, pack assassin come out and play. I so hoped he would be some sort of pack spy, like a fuzzy James Bond or something!

I read this with my 12 year old for his summer reading project. Some of the best time we have had in a while.

This book aged well. Being that it is set in the outdoors with an absence of modern, and not so modern technology makes enjoyable and relatable to today's youth.

I recommend this for boys and girls both ages 10 and up. Adults will enjoy this as well. Anyone interested in a book about coming of age surviving in the wild, or just an engaging story.

Read this in college and still partied harder than a rock star in my twenties. All this book did was get me curious about drugs and want to try all the ones I had just read about.
“LSD IS BAD,” Said the book.
“BUT BAD IS GOOD. NOW I GOTTA TRY IT!” My twenty year brain screamed in response.

Love this series.

Let me start by saying that I love the authors writing. I have kept myself up to date with all her series and eagerly wait for new work by her to released. I am very happy that she has started a new series, though I must admit I would have rather had another installment to one of her already ongoing other series.

I very much enjoyed this. As with all her books the ladies of this are kick ass and take charge. They never rely on a man to come and save them.

In this the main character sets out to protect her sister, and unexpectedly gets a target painted on her own back. She learns she must fight for her future.

Laurenston/Aiken always adds A LOT of humor to her novels. This one made laugh a lot, out loud and embarrassingly, might I add.

I was a bit nervous when I discovered the male love interest was a centaur. My mind immediately went to thinking about how the hell were the sex scenes going to be? What am I about to read? I shouldn't have worried, the centaur can change to full human in appearance.

I will definitely continue this series.

Netgalley provided arc copy. I did not promise a favorable review and formed my opinion on this book of my own reading experience.

This surprised me. I liked it more than expected. I would have loved to have seen less romance and more action or world building. The world is what is most intriguing.

I will definitely be watching for the next book in this series, more from this author. This has potential to be amazing as the story builds. I so hope this becomes all it can be as a series, I am impatient to find out what is to come.

I read this, and two other novels, while travelling out of state to set up funeral arrangements for my father in law. I needed a distraction, this did just that. For that I give much thanks to the author, Elizabeth Bear.

This definitely is much faster paced than the first book. My only complaint about the first was that it felt a bit sluggish, but despite that it was also a great read. While this book could be read without reading the first in series, I don't recommend doing so. Certain aspects would be misses.

Bear is great at character building. They are among some of the most memorable I have read about. I much so have loved reading about Gage in this series. He was once a man, now part automaton. His scenes in this book were very engrossing.

There were questions from the first book which were answered in this, but this book also left questions and loose ends. I am impatiently waiting for the third book for those answers. I am curious to see if I am correct about a few things.

Thank you Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for being allowed to read an arc edition of this book.

Another hot, steamy paranormal romance from Donna Grant.

As always with this author, there is a lot of steam. Be aware that this has loads of offensive language, detailed naked times, and decent action scenes. This is an ongoing series and while each book contains a new couple and could be enjoyed as a standalone, it will be enjoyed much more if read in order.

I highly recommend this series

I love Janet Evanovich's books but I could not get into this one. I found myself skimming through parts of it.

Loose ends tied up, new characters brought in. Enjoyed this one.

Just picked this up to read today and realized it is yet another book I have read before and didn't review. Ugh... I have to start making sure I at least write a small something after reading from now on.

I remembers liking this one and am surprised at how well it has stayed fresh in my mind. Especially like the way the romance slowly built. Great characters too. I do also remember being a bit lost at times too, that being he reason book 2 hasn't, according to my shitastic memory, been read.

I liked some of this, but not all of it.

In this we have a bunch of warriors from Atlantis. There are seven of them, I think. The female lead, Ripley, is a pretty great character. She's funny, been through a shifty time concerning work, has a connection to the ocean, and has one heck of a mouth, I liked her. The male character, in my opinion, was a bit flat. He had just, the same day, finally gotten away from seven years of torture from a sic, headed vampire goddess (I think she was a goddess, maybe queen). I feel he should have been a bit more reluctant, scarred internally, or something than the way he was written. The storyline was good, but at times I never thought the story was ever going to venture outside of a safehouse. There was a bit too much conversation going on for my liking. There was a good deal of bromance going on and i liked how there is already plot twists that will most definitely be the topic of focus for the second book. If this goes well, this could possibly be a reallly grezt series. The writing is decent and I have high hopes that this author will do better with other books in this series. All that said, this story was decent, and there is just enough that liked to get me to look at the next book... if it's available.

This book really suck punches you in feels from the very beginning, Ann the main character loses so much. In this we see the main character have rebuild her self from the ground up.

Ward is great at writing scarred, broken characters. She is also great at making them find them find a way to find them some way piece themselves back together.

The guy in this one, as with all her books is a hottie with many faults of his own.

Recommended to fans of the author and genre.

Good start to a series. Note to self to read the rest. Went on a sort of 2 week year reading sabbatical. This and another Showalter book helped bring me back.

Loved this. I hope “The Thief” is as good.

Warden had me worried that this was gonna be a Selena repeat! I still am demanding she bring that woman back somehow! It has to happen. Great addition to this series.

Rereading this with my kids is just as fun as the first time I read it. Too many years in between the first read and the reread. Should have done this sooner.

I've said it before, Setta Jay has a dirty mind, and like. I have encountered a lot of authors rely solely on sex to make their book sell, not this one. This author can really write. Yes, lots of sex, but a good story too.

This is a spin-off series to The Guardians of the Realms. You don't necessarily have to read the first series, but it would make your experience better.

I for one am glad that Gillian didn't end up with William. I didn't like them together. She is too good for him, he needs a girl who is going to fight him the whole way through. I do very much anticipate his book though.

I really like Puck. I really like Gillian. Without him she would never have had the chance to accomplish all she did in Amaranthia. She grew up, and was able to do so that it was all hers.

I just love this world, one of my favorite series.

Laurenston is one of my favorite authors. Whenever I am in need of a book that is guaranteed to slap a smile on my face I usually grab something written by her. Is this book a literary masterpiece? No, but it's damn funny, full of interesting characters, and there is just enough paranormal to keep me interested.

This is a spin-off to the author's Pride series. If you haven't read those, please start there.

Where Laurenston shines is how she writes her characters. They are ALL flawed. They have panic disorders, mommy/daddy issues, crazy families, etc., and they all are shifters. There animal side is very much a part of who they are. These aren't characters that can turn into animals. If they are a bear shifter, they are also bearlike in human form: curious, love honey, don't play well with other breeds. The honey badgers are scrappy, tend to want to take things that aren't theirs, and they also love honey. The focus couple in this are a grizzly bear shifter and a honey badger/wolf hybrid. They are good together. The bear is very patient and is exactly what the hybrid needs considering her crazy family. Her two sisters are a big part of this book because her whole life has been focused on keeping them safe, mostly from their asshat of a father.

A lot of this story is set up for future stories. Normally have a hard time getting through a book like this, but not this one. Laurenston's characters are so cool I enjoyed being introduced to each one of them, and there are quite a few.

While led this is a romance book, there wasn't a lot of focus on the couple. I was okay with that, but I do feel like I would have liked to see them interact more. More times where he was a hero for her, he did, but I wanted more of him crushing bad guys with his bear strength.

Really recommend this book, actually all books written by this author.

I like this book. I love this series. I do think maybe Dani's books should have been their own series. It's a nice break from Mac. I picked this up after not touching the series for some time. I needed to refresh what all had happened.

I enjoyed it enough to start book two. Nothing spectacular, the storyline isn't unique. The characters stay true to character, which is important to me, not doing so kills a book instantly. Jacob could be a bit more, hopefully his back story will come with book two. I hope book two isn't just a repeat of book one like so many recent series tend to do.

I won this in a Goodreads giveaway.

This started out decent, I was interested in what was going on and what was to come. After reading the book though, I still don't have the answers to either.

A major problem was that I had an ARC copy and there were no quotations marks for dialogue. I was so lost, I even wrote them in with ink, then realized after adding them I still had no idea who was saying what. I skipped pages hoping it got better, but I just couldn't get past all of that and threw in the towel at about forty pages in. Love the cover though.

I may later heck an ebook sample out to see if the finished product seems better.

This is the second book in Sparks' Embraced series. I liked the first book, and equally liked this one.

This has paranormal elements, but to me this reads like fantasy romance.

It is the writing, for me anyways, that makes this a good read. Sparks has a way of adding quite a hefty dose of humor to her writing so that there is not many times where this story does not make you snicker about one thing or another.

I recommend this to fans of the author and the genre. thanks
