Beauty…and Her Beast?

Desperate to escape an arranged marriage, Lidiya Rihanoff sets off to find the only man who can help her. Ged Taverner wants the world to think he’s just the manager of a rock band, but Lidi knows the truth: he’s a king in exile—and a shape-shifter, just like her. She’s not ready for the overwhelming desire she feels for him. And he’s not expecting to find his destined mate…

Destiny prevails! With book three in her Beast series, Jane Godman brings us Ged’s story. Each story in this series has had one of the members of the band meeting their mate and traveling the dangers to be able to be together. With Ged, we learn his past and see the fireworks that happen when the woman he’s destined to be with finds him. It’s a great story … probably my favorite of the series so far!

Bear shifter Ged Taverner is the manager of the ever-popular rock band Beast that he created from a bunch of guys he met during his heart’s work of helping shape shifters who are in danger. He’s enjoying watching the guys settle in and prosper. He never expects his past to come calling in the middle of the night … and in the form of his mate!

Lidiya Rihanoff is in dire danger and knows the only man that can help her is Ged … but she knows him as who he really is … Gerald Tavisha, exiled King of Callistoya! Lidi refuses to marry Ged’s stepbrother, the standing King who was responsible for the worst day of his life. She needs Ged’s help to get her father to safety and knows that he needs to take back his life while he’s at it!

Heartbreak gives her only one place to turn…

the arms of a forbidden man.

Until now, Crissanne Moss has been off-limits. As his best friend’s significant other, she is Ethan Caruthers’s friend, too. So he’s always snuffed out any spark between them. Now Crissanne is single and seeking comfort. Ethan is happy to give her all she needs—and desires. But can their friendship truly become more when one explosive revelation changes everything?

Forbidden love! With the next book in Katherine Garbera’s The Wild Caruthers Bachelors series, we get Ethan’s story. He’s lusted from afar for years after he moved too slow to make the first move before his friend swooped in and made her his, but when circumstances put Chrissanne within his reach for once, temptation may be too strong. The characters and situation were attention grabbing, and the plot had a bit of intrigue to it as well leaving us wondering what was going to happen for awhile there. Enjoyed it!

When the woman he loves shows up on the doorstep of Ethan Caruthers, he should be thrilled … if only she wasn’t his best friend’s girl! When she makes the announcement that she’s suddenly single and needed a friendly ear, Ethan takes her in and offers her comfort. He’s wanted her since the first moment he saw her all of those years ago … but you can’t get with your best friend’s ex … can you?

Chrissanne Moss can’t believe she’s wasted so many years of her life on a man that doesn’t want forever with her. When she needs a friend, who else would she turn to but Ethan? She has known that he has feelings for her for awhile .. should she admit her attraction as well? When surprising news comes, they are blown away and seek comfort with each other … but can it last considering their history?

I wasn't looking to fall for one man. Let alone two...
Sullivan and Will are as close as two friends can be. Growing up in the system forced them to rely on each other, and they've become accustomed to sharing everything--including women.

Now they're ready for more. To find love. To start a family. To see the dreams they've shared since childhood come true.

Apparently I tick off every box on their list--brains, beauty, and sass. I never hesitate to put both men in their places--which they find sexy as hell.

One problem, I'm a traditional girl, with traditional values--one man, one woman, till death do us part--kind of values.

They're willing to work to prove how very right the three of us could be, but what happens next is anyone's guess...

Steamy, taboo and oh so fun! With a dip into a steamier type of story, we get the first book from a bestselling author that many know and love under a new pen name. The characters were rich with chemistry, kind hearts and all around goodness. The story line was a little rushed, but had an overall exciting feel to it. Really enjoyed! *WARNING* You must be okay with menage and M/M to enjoy this story.

Best friends Sullivan and Will have been together forever. Growing up in a group home was hard for them, but after they met, it was better. They have each other’s back through thick and thin, run a business together and share their women. They’re tired of the thrill of it all and just want to find the woman of their dreams, settle down and have a family. When Sullivan meets Adrienne, he thinks their dreams might have just come true!

Adrienne is as straight laced and traditional as they come, so when she finds out that Sullivan has a guy at home that he likes to share with, she’s super hesitant. Only after coercing her with his sexy grin does she agree to at least go to dinner with them in order to meet Will. Agreeing to a second date with each one of them individually to see how they each click goes beyond her comfort zone, but it also makes her realize she could really be into these guys. The road is going to be long and filled with obstacles, but she’s going to start walking down it!
