Reader Question – The funny book series about the shifters that rented a hotel for an annual meeting and they meet their mates that were curvy and so funny…

By 2 Comments

Jenny is looking for this book! I love a good book series that makes me laugh. I’m dying to know which one this is!!

She asks:

Shifter book

I read a series along time ago and can’t remember name.

It was where the shifters rented a hotel for an annual meeting and they meet their mates that were curvy and so funny.

I laughed through the whole series.

Any help on name or author.

Anyone have a guess?

Kathy: It sounds like something Mimi Jean Pamfiloff would write, but I don’t recall that plot.

Axik: I think it’s Alpha Marked series by Celia Kyle. Sounds very much like it. read more

ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS needs our book help! Let’s welcome Kitty Thomas to our reader question category! This one sounds crazy! I love “stuck in the elevator” stories (’cause that would horrify me) but at least these have some fun situations. Tee hee!

Kitty asks:

Hey I have one of those questions about a book, it’s been driving me crazy forever. it’s an older book and  a novella. If you have space for it will you ask?
It’s a werewolf novella. I think it was in a collection with other novellas, not sure if it was one author or multi-author, but in the story a woman is trapped with a man in an elevator. She’s ovulating. He’s a werewolf. She’s his mate. it’s sort of dubcon because he can’t help himself because wolf/mate/etc.
She ends up pregnant and I think he kidnaps her to live with him due to that.
I THINK the wolf dude also has money. But I’m not 100% on that.
– Kitty Thomas, one of the original dark romance authors

Anyone have a guess?

Niki: Oh- I read this one, I think!! But I can’t remember the title, I think it was a KU book. I’ll look on my account….

Erica: Oooh I know this one! Gotta run to my library sec. Jk I’m wrong but leaving my comment there for a similar book without the pregnancy haha read more

Book Review – Clayton by Rachelle Mills | Maryse’s Book Blog

Clayton (The Wildflower Series Book 1) <— BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION because of a recent reader question, so many jumped in and LOVED IT, and sure enough… THIS HOOKED ME RIGHT FROM THE START!!! You guys were right!!

Ohhhh yes!! This has unrequited love IN SPADES!!! Along with a love triangle (or actually 2) plus the romance rejection comes in all sorts of ways, and oh my heart was on edge. And well… you know me, even though I’m not compelled to read paranormal romance as much as I used to (in this case, two neighboring wolf-shifter packs), I could NOT resist… because after all, they are part human too and THAT… I could relate to! 😀 And boy did I. For the most part. 😉 read more

Book Review – Dark Fire by Christine Feehan

Dark Fire (The ‘Dark’ Carpathian Book 6)
I decided to go “old school” this weekend, and pulled out something that I knew was going to be an easy, quick, and romantically satisfying read. This one’s going to be a quick review, because after book #4, when it comes to this series, it’s essentially pretty much the same story over and over again,

That said, I am still utterly compelled to read each one. Of course, not all in a row. That would be maddening. I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed books one, two and three (and sorta, four, but the repetition was getting to me at that point, and when I was done, I threw it across the room, out of frustration). What I do like about these books is that they almost always involve a human female, and the intensity of the love that the Carpathian make develops for her is just so…amazing, sigh-inducing, heartwarming. It’s just a non-stop deluge of love and passion. If you look at it from a different perspective, however, it’s also quite creepy. If this were a human male acting this way, people would be telling her to RUN! But whatever, he’s an ancient, powerful immortal, and well… just go with it 😉 read more

Book Review – Tall, Dark & Hungry by Lynsay Sands

Tall, Dark & Hungry (Argeneau Vampire Book 4)
I finished this series a while ago, but it appears, despite my loving the series, that I am not as quick with the reviews 😉

This too, was one of my favorites in the series, simply because the element of enemy danger was left on the back-burner in this one and we were treated to a more relaxing version of finding love, amongst life’s daily disasters.

Bastien Argeneau, head of the clan and essentially the “man of the house” always finds himself cleaning up his family’s messes, and handling the business side of their lives. It was fun to see this sexy but serious, no-nonsense vampire find himself in uncomfortable situations, all the while trying to deal with the new emotions of encountering his human potential “lifemate”. read more
