Debbiereadsbook (1551 KP) rated Entangled Beta (Murder and Mayhem Omegaverse #2) in Books
May 22, 2025
Murdery and Mayhemery indeed!
Independent reviewer for BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 2 in the Murder and Mayhem Omegaverse series. I have not read book one, Shattered Omega. I will come back to this point.
The title of this series is absolutely SPOT on! I mean, Sasha is . . .I mean, I LOVED Sasha and her murdery tendencies! She is who she is, and once she talks to Levi, her Alpha, she makes no apologies for being who she is. It really is needed, the on page violence that she inparts on certain folks who darn well deserve what they get coming to them!
But I also felt, deeply, for Sasha. Since she is a beta, and not an omega, when Levi finds his Kismet Omega, she feels she may be pushed out. Now, I think she didn't give Levi enough credit for how he feels about Sasha, but add Stone into the mix, another Alpha, and with Flynn being the omega in the pack, it's understandable how she loved.
I loved that Stone crept up on both Levi and Sasha. Flynn was another story. Flynn was in everyone's mind from the minute they saw his picture and met him. But Flynn has suffered, badly, and needs time. I love that the Alphas gave him that time, and allowed Flynn to heal before starting something new with everyone.
It's steamy and the smexy times are plentiful, but they do not overtake the plotline, and I did love that. I do love the smexy books, but I need a plotline with them!
Back to not reading the first book. I think I maybe missed *something* by not doing. I can't pinpoint exactly what it was, and my book brain will not release what's bothering it, but there was that tiny niggle at the back of my brain for the whole book.
This point, and that fact it is present tense, multi POV AND first person are the only reasons I give this book. . .
4 solid stars
I do need to go back at some point and read book one before I get to book 3, which I really REALLY want to read, especially after reading that blurb and who I think that it!

Debbiereadsbook (1551 KP) rated Christa's Obsession (Obsession #3) in Books
Feb 5, 2025
I really loved watching Wanda give herself to Christa, emotionally more than physically, to be honest.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 3 in the Obsessions series, and there is some overlap between this and the previous two books. I think you *SHOULD* read them before this one. Silas is Wanda's brother and it will give you a better picture of the dryad/tree relationship. Wanda's is quite different.
After being kidnapped by demons and rescued, Wanda wants nothing to do with the entire demonkind. But her brother is mated to one, and Dakata saved her life, along with a couple of others. But why, at the back of her mind, is Christa lurking? She is Dakata's sister but Wnada cannot remember her being at her rescue. And then, they touch, and both ladies know the other is their Blissful One. But Wanda hates demons? How can she be mated to one??
Ms Sayle writes MM books, has done for a while and I have followed her from the beginning. THIS is her first foray into FF books, and I was mighty, MIGHTY curious about Wanda and her trees in both previous books, so pairing those two things together, made me fully immerse myself into this book.
I was NOT disappointed! I loved how it all played out between Christa and Wanda, I really did!
Oh, and the trees?? All FEMALE trees, which I don't believe was mentioned in earlier books. And those trees know just how to please their dryad, and her demon mate! I will never look at a peach in the same way :-) Steamy and smexy, that's what these two ladies are, along with the peach trees and I really thought Sayle nailed those scenes.
This book is mostly about Wanda letting go of her fears and fully committing to Christa. The visit from the Demon King, Asmodeus, helps a great deal, and the family dinner with Christa's siblings does too. I really loved watching Wanda give herself to Christa, emotionally more than physically, to be honest.
Given the epilogue, and what I've seen about the next two books, they all overlap somewhat. I actually liked that. It's a bit different, is all, and gives spoilers for future books.
I absolutely cannot fault this, I really can't!
5 full and shiny stars!

Debbiereadsbook (1551 KP) rated One Step Sideways (Enhanced World Security #1) in Books
Apr 1, 2025
daark and deadly!
Independent reviewer for GRR, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is a spin off from The Enhanced Wordl series, and you really do need to have some understanding of what it means to be Enhanced and how they are treated to fully appreciate this book. I will be honest, I did not read books 6 and 7 from the main series. I don't I missed anything, but I did read books 1 through 5.
Kane was jailed at 16 for shooting a dog. But no one saw any other scars, just the one on his face. When he is released 17 years later, Diesel Rawlings collects him and offers him a job. Danny was a medic with Rawlings. He suffered at the hands of the enemy. He can't baby sit an ex con, especially one who did what he did. But not all is as it appears, and Danny and Kane must work together to find the missing teenagers.
Like I said, I did not read books 6 and 7 of the main series, I can't rememeber why I didn't, but I absolutely LOVED this revisit to this world and the men in it!
Both Kane and Danny suffered, and I felt for them, deeply. When both men fully open up to the other, I cried, I really did!
I'm not going to go too much into the plot, cos spoilers, but things did not go how I was expecting them to, and I have no idea WHAT I was expecting! My book brain is a fickle place sometimes!
It's dark, though, that suffering both men talk. Not a easy read, I tell ya, and I have no triggers.
It's full of love though! Once Danny and Kane get their act together, it was brilliant. Not especially explicit, but I don't think it was needed. Again, that suffering pops up all the time.
The guys from the main books are talked about, but do not take part here. I would have liked them to, but I didn't miss that they weren't. Does that make sense? I think I'm just greedy!
And that epilogue?? Oh well played there Ms Sue, very VERY well played! Bawling my eyes out, I was!
I can't give it anything other than. . . .
5 full and shiny stars! (and I might just go back now, and read books 6 and 7!)

Apr 8, 2025
Bash knows Romy needs to tell him about his past, and he'll wait til Romy is ready.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarain, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 3 in the Little Paws Haven series, and I think you really SHOULD read books one and two before this one. There is an ongoing story arc that is not fully recapped, but you might get enough to muddle through. Just my opinion, it's my review :-)
Romy and Bash know they are mates, but dealing with two little rhinos they found, means getting to know each other is a bit down the list of priorities. They do TRY though. Bash digging a wallow, for example. But then they are hit with a devastating blow, and Romy needs his Little time to fully process the grown up stuff after. And the council is still causing problems!
I loved book one, and book two didn't quite hit the same spot. This book is on a par with book 2. WHY?? I dunno (insert wailing!) and you know I hate not being able to translate what my book brain wants to say!
I liked that it takes time for Romy and Bash to fully commit. They do take their time to get to know each other before mating. The Council and their aptitude for meddling continues, it gets in the way of Romy fully opening up to Bash for a while. Bash knows Romy needs to tell him, and he'll wait til Romy is ready. His hand is pushed though, given what happens and when he tells it all?? Oh my.
It was nice to catch up with Cosmo, Harley and Nomad. Gabai and Asher are mentioned but don't really play a part here. Book 4 is laid out for us as well!
I'm still not 100% certain what the council has been doing, but it is much clearer now, given what the crash of rhinos, along with all the allies, finds.
The steam level is low, I thought, but the drama/danger level is high and there is a bit more violence in this book. I mean, RHINOS!! But I think it was needed for this book.
I'm looking forward for Arlo and Taggert, and what Tagg can find on the computers!

Debbiereadsbook (1551 KP) rated The Demon Bodyguard in Books
Apr 20, 2025
Zeke flips from stalker to protector on a penny.
Independent reviewer for BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This book is about Zeke, who is Mal's brother from The Demon Undertaker. I would recommend that you read that book before this one. While not strictly necessary, I think it will give you a better picture of the relationship between Mal and Zeke.
Zeke takes a job that will net him a million Euros. But watching Rory is boring, until Rory catches Zeke watching him and Zeke's demon half shouts MINE! Then it becomes a matter of keeping Rory and his daughter safe. The danger, however, is not all it seems!
What I loved most about this, was that while there was that MINE moment, it is a while coming. And once it comes, Zeke flips from stalker to protector on a penny. His whole self upends itself at that realisation, and I loved that he had to talk to Mal, who pretty much laughed his head off! How Zeke was with Mal in The Demon Undertaker is so far removed from how he now feels, it's uncanny.
The danger never really lets up for Rory and his daughter. And I loved that Rory *TRIED* to give his father in law the benefit of the doubt, but it was thrown back at him. I did like that they let it play out, without Carlotta ever knowing the truth about her grandfather.
Dante, from The Devil's Dilemma pops up, as well as Mal and Jason. I loved how Adams has seemlessly joined three books, from 2 different series, but somehow managed to follow them on from one another!
The story line is dark here, but there are some lighter moments, mostly with Mal winding Zeke up. Steamy and smexy, but deeply emotional in places. Rory has a lot on his shoulders and he needs Zeke but doesn't want to disrespect his dead wife.
I quote directly from my review about The Demon Undertaker:
Adams is an author I have followed from the very beginning. I can honestly say, I'm loving the newer stuff she writes, as she continues to hone her craft. THIS book was no exception. THIS is my favourite book so far. I'm fairly certain, I'll be saying that for the next one too!

Debbiereadsbook (1551 KP) rated Taking What's Mine (Men of Maddox Security #4) in Books
Apr 24, 2025
super steamy!
Independent reviewer for BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 4 in the Men of Maddox Security series, I've managed to read it before book 3, but I don't think it matters. They kinda/sorta run along side each other.
Lincoln is tasked with keeping Isabel, Dean's sister, safe. Her stalker is getting close. She is quite capable, thank you very much, and takes great offense at Dean for making her do this. But for the fact it is Lincoln, she might have pulled a hissy fit. Finding themselves in the middle of an adult club, when looking for leads, was not what they expected. But it gives them both a roundabout way to get what they want: each other. They just gotta keep Isabel safe til the threat is gone.
So! Reading out of order, but not really missing anything for doing that. But I do like these books, and I have book 3 to read after this one.
We had a 4 star, a 4.5 star and now we hit the ding, ding, ding, jackpot with a 5 star read!
I think what did it for me here was, Lincoln and Isabel have known each other for some time, worked together daily. And while each has attraction to the other, neither admitted it out loud. This close protection for Isabel brings brings them closer, and I loved the way it evolved.
Steamy, oh yes! Given the situation they find themselves in, and I did NOT see that one coming at me! Loved that!
Book 2 got a higher rating than book 1 for the emotional connection and we get that here, mostly because of the previous attraction, but I still think the emotional connection is far deeper than the pairings in previous books. Might be me, but still, that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!
There is some reference to Dean's story here, and I've not read that, but I didn't feel I missed anything. I WANT to read it, but I don't feel I NEED to, you know?? Dean's wife Sophia pops up here and I liked her for what little I know of Dean so far. At some point, I will read their story!

Debbiereadsbook (1551 KP) rated Dream a Little Dream (To Love a Psycho #1) in Books
May 3, 2025
There is no HEA here, not yet. There is no romance, not yet.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is the first book in the To Love A Psycho trilogy. There is no HEA here, not yet. There is no romance, not yet.
But what is here, is setting the stage for what is to come, and I bloody loved it!
It's dark and deadly. Very little smex, but the steam is building, oh yes!
Aaron is the child of serial killers, Kenny the psychologist who helped bring their capture. Jack, the police constable who finds Aaron. While this is mostly about Kenny and Aaron, it is important to mention Jack. Given as Jack played a huge part in Kenny's life before, and the fact that Aaron knows Jack, from that very early meeting and again, when he comes back into his life.
What I think (cos Lord knows if I can word it correctly!) I liked most about this book, was that both men are somewhat . . .not damaged or unhinged but those words keept jumping from my book brain and I dont think they are right, but that sort of thing. They are both haunted by their past, and Kenny especially surprised me. He fights Aaron all the way, but knows he can't keep away. Even taking to him to his therapy is something Kenny HAS to do for Aaron.
Given what's said here about Jack and Kenny's relationship, I can see why Kenny needs to look out for Aaron, he has no one else, but Kenny is hard wired that way: to care for someone, in any way he can. I think deep down, Kenny knows this, even if he psycoanalyses himself to the very max, I don't think he's actually seeing that in himself.
I did not see it all playing out the way it did, and I love being surprised. I can't wait to see what White does to this pair in the next book, but I am promised an eventual HEA, they are just gonna have to work so darn hard at it, it might break me!
4 stars, but only because it is a cliff hanger, and I KNEW that going in, but I can't quite stretch, not yet!

Debbiereadsbook (1551 KP) rated Her Healing (Healing Duet #2) in Books
May 19, 2025
some on page violence to Harlow that you need to be aware of!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is the second book in the Healing Duet and you really MUST read book 1, Healing Her, before this one. It follows on and you need that book's story to follow what happens next.
Keiron will be Calvin's Beta, once he takes over the pack. Leaving for Aberdeen didn't quite turn out to be the week he expected. Finding his mate in the hands of a sex trafficking ring, was not on his to-do list! Harlow has been caught by an enemy unknown. Being rescued at the point she was, meant she could go home. But why was her wolf so hell bent on staying near the beta wolf who rescued the girls?
Now, I wasn't too impressed with book 1 in this duet, but book 2 was far FAR better.
There is some on page violence to Harlow, and you need to be aware of it. I do think it's necessary for the plot though, as much as I hated reading it. And the bad guy does get his comeuppance!
I loved that Keiron, while not happy, nor was his wolf, let Harlow decide whether she wanted to come to him, or not, after her recovery at home. her wolf wasn't happy to leave Keiron, but she knew they had to try to heal, at home. Once Harlow goes to Keiron, they both instantly start to feel better.
I didn't like what Paisleigh gets Harlow to do, but then again, as she says, she is a big girl and can make her own choices about her actions.
Again, first person, present tense and multi point of view. I didn't notice it quite so much here, maybe because I enjoyed this book more.
I did think I could see some other pairings between the supporting cast, and I wonder if there will be any more of this pack, I would enjoy catching up with them!
Oh one thing: it says that THIS book is some 70 pages shorter than book 1. I didn't find that, I thought this was a lot longer!
Still, a much better read than book 1, so. . .

There is some on page violence to Harlow, and you need to be aware of it. I do think it's necessary for the plot though, as much as I hated reading it. And the bad guy does get his comeuppance!
I loved that Keiron, while not happy, nor was his wolf, let Harlow decide whether she wanted to come to him, or not, after her recovery at home. her wolf wasn't happy to leave Keiron, but she knew they had to try to heal, at home. Once Harlow goes to Keiron, they both instantly start to feel better.
I didn't like what Paisleigh gets Harlow to do, but then again, as she says, she is a big girl and can make her own choices about her actions.
Again, first person, present tense and multi point of view. I didn't notice it quite so much here, maybe because I enjoyed this book more.
I did think I could see some other pairings between the supporting cast, and I wonder if there will be any more of this pack, I would enjoy catching up with them!
Oh one thing: it says that THIS book is some 70 pages shorter than book 1. I didn't find that, I thought this was a lot longer!
Still, a much better read than book 1, so. . .
