Happy Sunday! Here's my round-up of reads for the week:
SHIFTERS
Looking for a shifter book or a menage (or better BOTH)? Check out Lacey Thorn's latest:
HOWLING WITH WOLVES (BOOK 9 OF THE JAMES PACK)
Emma…
Starved and beaten by my father, I was sure death was close. Then a rescue was followed quickly by loss. I'm taken away and tossed at the feet of the James Pack. One brother dead. One brother missing. One brother I never knew existed. None of those things dampen the need that fills me when I'm confronted with two males who both have me screaming one word. Mine.
Anthony…
I knew she was mine the moment she appeared. Her scent wrapped around me, calling my wolf. Mate. I'd protect her, avenge her, and never allow her to be hurt again.
Donovan…
She called to the soul of my wolf. Every bruise and mark awoke a primal force within me. I'd prove my worth as a mate by spilling the blood of all who'd harmed her.
MC CLUB
Are you looking for a good MC book mixed with a little bratva? Check out Layne Daniel's latest:
FAME (Book 7 of Ghost Born MC)
Life as a soldier then as prez of Ghost Born MC didn’t prepare me for the brat entrusted to my care.
Amaliya Balakin, bratva princess and only daughter of the pakhan of the west coast, tries me at every turn. Tries me and tempts me. But I can’t give in and take the heaven she offers, or her father will kill me. Problem is, he has plans to marry her off to someone else, and that will kill me, too. Amaliya is meant to be my Little Girl. And when the rubber skids along the road, I will do whatever is necessary to protect her, claim her, and keep her until my dying breath.
Ride with the men of Ghost Born MC in this new series by Layne Daniels and T.O. Smith.
RICO (Book 8 of Ghost Born MC)
He’s broken–a sad little pup that needs a new owner. And I’m the man for the job.
RICO
I don't care about much. I run my business with an iron fist, and my circle is small.
But when I see him--bruised, bloody, face streaked with tears--I just about lose my mind.
I'll slaughter anyone who has touched him. And I'll do the same to those who try to ever take him from me in the future.
Anurak is mine.
I may be the devil in disguise, but I'll bring my little pup heaven.
Only question is... will he trust me enough to let me?
~*~*~
ANURAK
I don't remember what freedom tastes like. I haven't seen anything outside of these walls in years.
Freedom feels... foreign now. So much so that I've stopped longing for it.
But then Rico comes roaring into my life, guns blazing.
He's determined to save me. To protect me.
And every time he calls me perrito, I fall for him a little bit more.
I don't know how to live on my own. I don't know who I am or what I want out of life.
But I'm certain I do want him.
Can Rico see past all my flaws and all my trauma to want me, too? Or am I just a boy he felt sorry for and wanted to save?
**This book can be read as a standalone, but to best understand the side characters mentioned, I highly recommend reading the first six books of the Ghost Born MC first.

Sci-Fi Romance
You know what, I loved this book. It's not new but it's a great read. If you like holiday romance mixed with a little Alien love, check out this one by Honey Phillips:
KRAMPUS AND THE CRONE
Can a horned alien warrior and an isolated woman grant two children their holiday wish for a family?
Jaelle is lonely. Ostracized by the village, like her mother and grandmother before her, she poses as an old witch in order to eke out a meager living selling herbal remedies to people who don't want to admit they need her help. When children start disappearing from the village, she is determined to find an answer to the riddle. She doesn't expect to find a massive, horned alien - one who sees through all her disguises.
Since crash-landing on K.R.S Three, Commander Krampusarian D'Marchandar spends his time working on his ship and secretly observing the other inhabitants. During his explorations, he discovers a strange, beautiful female. It is an impossible attraction - but when he sees her treatment at the hands of the other villagers, he decides she is his to protect.
A sweet and steamy holiday tale featuring two precocious orphans, a determined heroine, an unexpected hero, and, of course, a very happy ending! (Intended for mature audiences.)
Side note from Brynn; I'm reading book 2 right now and loving it.
MM Romance
If you're looking for some crossed swords, can I recommend this one from Sarina Bowen:
HELLO FOREVER
Basketball always brought them together. Now it might just tear them apart.
Axel
I always wondered what happened to my first love. But after we got caught kissing at church camp, his jerk of a father made sure I never saw him again.
Six years later, I’m streaming a college basketball game in a distant town, trying to decide if I should take a job with the athletic department there, when a familiar face in the crowd leaves me stunned. The school is a thousand miles away, in a tiny rural town. But suddenly, I can’t wait to get there.
Caxton
I can barely believe it when Axel turns up at the college where I’m a grad student. And I’m just as drawn to him as I ever was. But a few stolen kisses are all I’ll ever have. I can’t date. Loving Axel would mean letting go of my younger brothers who need me.
They can’t be together. But as far as their hearts are concerned, it's Hello Forever.
If you haven't read it, check out MY newest shifter book:
MERRY CLAWSMAS
Rue
When I find the large, injured dog on the stoop of my shop, blanketed with snow, my biggest fear is that my apartment will be too small for him. Unable to bring myself to leave him at a shelter, I have no choice but to bring him in—until I find him a good home, of course.
And that's where things get strange.
First, he avoids a trip to the vet with almost supernatural stubbornness.
Second, his injuries disappear sooner than they should.
And then…
Is it possible my new pet is cleaning my house? Something strange is happening. And when I set up a camera to see what's going on, strange doesn't come close to describing what I witness. What I see isn't my rescued dog—not a dog at all. That's…my naked ex-boyfriend straightening and dusting, and my new pet is nowhere in sight.
Luke
Seriously? She thinks I'm a dog?
When I was injured while protecting my territory, I ran to the closest safe spot I knew—My Rue.
Now that I'm here with my mate, I'm not leaving. She pushed me out before, accusing me of keeping secrets. She wasn't wrong.
This Christmas, Rue will get exactly what she wants. I'll tell her everything. I'll give her all of me. And I'll get what I want, too. Her. My mate.
Merry Clawsmas to me!
I hope you enjoyed these selections! Check back later for Billionaire's Surprise, releasing today!
