Merissa (11731 KP) rated All He Wants For Christmas is a Fingerling (The Weird & Wacky World of Shifters #1) in Books
Nov 17, 2021 (Updated Jul 10, 2023)
ALL HE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS IS A FINGERLING is a unique (as far as I know) #Paranormal #MPreg book that is the first in a series and offers you a delightful mix of sweet and sassy.
Frenchie is a potato shifter. Yep, you heard me. A POTATO SHIFTER. He shifts into a potato and all is well with the world. Came as quite a shock to our grumpy wolf, Tala, too. Misunderstandings abound before fate kicks in.
This is the first book in the series, and I'm really looking forward to returning. I'm hoping to get some resolution about just why Frenchie was attacked in the first place. It's hinted at but I want more. I'm so greedy! I know the next book won't focus (probably) on Tala and Frenchie but I'm hoping that it will come out as the story progresses.
This was a fun-filled, frolic of a book that I thoroughly enjoyed and read in one sitting. Absolutely recommended by me.

Charlotte (184 KP) rated Hunt (Sin City Wolf #2) in Books
Oct 18, 2021
Holy smokes!!
I thought the first in the series was good but Hunt has blown my socks off.
I always love a shifter romance and I wasn't disappointed.
With twists and surprises I was kept entertained from the first page to the last.....And it didn't hurt that there were two smoking hot guys and some even hotter loving going on.
I love the way the characters develop and how they interact with each other, it really helps to create a bigger more rounded picture that ensnares you.
Definitely an adult read, perfect with a cheeky drink and some decadent chocolate.

4 shiny stars!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
A magpie is hired to steal from a dragon's hoard. What could possibly go wrong??
Short! So very VERY short! That's my overwhelming thought on finishing this book, I wish it were longer.
It's told mostly from Chester, the magpie's point of view, but Michal, the dragon who hires Chester, gets some say, just not enough for my liking!
It's not overly complicated, nor is it explicit nor violent. It's well told, and well delivered. Some more could have been made of the feud between Michal and his brother James.
It was just too bloody short!
BUT!!!
I DID enjoy it, spending an hour sitting out in the sun on my day off. It's the first I've read of this author, but now she is firmly on my radar, my wish list is a little longer and hopefully I'll be able to read more soon.
Because I LIKED the way she tells her tales, and I LIKED that we get a magpie shifter, because I have never read a magpie shifter! And ya'll know I love them different!
So, because I found it too short ( I did NOT know it was a short going in!) and because I wanted more Michal...
4 shiny stars (because magpies love shiny things!)

This is my first young adult dragon shifter book. I've read the first in an adult series but I didn't reckon much to it but this, this was right up my street.
I liked almost everything about it; the description of being a dragon, the characters--though I thought it was a little selfish of her mum and sister to want to do what they were doing to Jacinda, the romance and connection between Jacinda and Will...
That ending has definitely got me wanting to find out what happens next and considering the books are only 99p each currently I think I'm going to go buy them all!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Feral Sins (The Phoenix Pack #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2021
3.5 stars, mainly because Suzanne's books can be too long for my liking a lot of the time and because I got fed up of reading the sex scenes.
I'm pretty picky about my shifter books, preferring vampires to shapeshifters most days, and this one was good but I felt it went on too long.
Character wise I think I liked Marcus the most, though I couldn't really explain why. I also liked Dante. In fact, most of the guys were pretty cool but I did have favourites.
Other than wanting to read book 4, Marcus' book, I haven't decided if I want to read the rest of the series yet.

Sep 5, 2019
This started quite strong and I was enjoying it but then at the 50% mark when the sex started I...got bored. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but sex scenes are annoying me.
Anyway, I liked the plot, though the thing with Cora was a bit of a surprise (I wont spoilt it by mentioning it in my review) near the end.
With it being short (finishes around the 85% mark) there wasn't that much to it, but it was good for a short read. And it being a paranormal romance with a dragon shifter makes it slightly different to all the others out there.

Merissa (11731 KP) rated Chance on Love (Shifter World: Royal-Kagan (#4), Kagan Wolves (#0.5)) in Books
Jun 6, 2023
This is a short but sweet introduction to Sean and Jenna of the Kagan Wolf Pack. Sean is fighting against his wolf's instincts of claiming his 'place' within the pack. He refuses to shift and instead tries to drown out his wolf by drinking at the local bar instead. Everything is going well until he meets a female shifter who pushes all the right buttons, challenging him to act as her equal.
A good introduction to these two characters, whilst still leaving you wanting more in general. Definitely recommended as a quick but hot read.

Merissa (11731 KP) rated The Selkie's Coat (Waves of Fate #1) in Books
Apr 20, 2020
The Selkie's Coat is the first book in the Waves of Fate series and we start off with a seal (obviously!) shifter and a human omega. In this omegaverse, shifters are common knowledge, human omega's are rare, and new things are being learnt all the time.
Gregory is amazed to find his fated mate when he is so young - only 100 plus years - and is determined to do the right thing and give his human mate a chance to learn about what a fated mate is. This goes against what his inner animal wants to do and causes strife between the two of them. Daniel hadn't known a human omega could even mate with a shifter so the whole thing came as a surprise to him. He is fascinated by Gregory, even more so when he gets a glimpse of his seal speaking through Gregory's human body. Understandably, though, his feelings swing like a pendulum as he doesn't understand just what is going on.
This is a lovely slow-burn romance with a sweet Alpha and a headstrong Omega. Sometimes I wanted to whomp Daniel upside the head as he seemed to swing so much and vent his frustrations on the wrong person. Don't get me wrong, I liked Daniel but sweet Gregory was the one I fell for.
One thing I loved straight away in this book is the amount of shifters here - and it's not always cats or wolves! Scenting their mate is a big thing in most paranormal books but in this one, because Gregory is a water shifter, for him it's the sound of Daniel's voice. I loved that!!! The oh-so-simple idea that different shifters have different ways of knowing their mates. 😍
I don't know who's story is coming next but I can't wait for Winston and Henri's! If you love Omegavers stories and like a sweet, slow-burner then I have no hesitation in recommending this one!

Alpha contenders boxed set 1-4
By Terry Bolryder
Misty has few expectations from life. Work, read, sleep. But when she hears from a complete stranger that she's actually a powerful, shape-shifting werewolf, her life changes forever.
Lindon believes he already had his shot at love long ago. And lost it. The tall, blond, sexy shifter is now only trying to keep his promise to his father by protecting Misty as she learns about her new place in the world and seeks to find a future mate.
The only problem: she'll be meeting all of her prospective suitors at one time, and in one place. All TEN of them. All hot, single, alpha males competing for her heart.
Author's note! Alpha Contender was originally released as a four-part serial about one BBW finding out she’s a shifter and trying to choose from the ten hot alpha males trying to win her. All parts are bound here together for the first time in a full set at a special price as a thank you to my fans.
I wasn’t expecting much from this box set to be honest but I actually really enjoyed it! I felt Misty was a bit to gullible at annoying at first but I soon warmed up to her. The books were split up but it would have been better together either way still an enjoyable read!

Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated Double Dragons (Dragons of New York #1) in Books
May 21, 2020
They're hot as fire, and if you mess with their mate, you're bound to get burned.
Draven and Ran are dragon shifters, the fire-breathing enforcers of the shifter world. The ones they call when things go wrong. Strong, sexy and wealthy, the only thing the two partners are missing is a mate to share it all with. But that's tricky in the dragon world and after years of searching, the dragons have basically given up. That is, until a sexy, reckless human librarian lands in their path during a mission.
Melissa knows she would have been in hot water had the two handsome, powerful and mysterious men not showed up to save her butt from a group of violent men. Still, when her rescuers take her back to their New York loft, she's confronted by a mystery she never expected. Dragons and other shapeshifting creatures exist. And these dragons are definitely hotblooded.
But as the sexy dragons show Melissa all the perks of being their mate, Melissa is also uncovering the dangerous secrets of the dragon world. If she isn't willing to risk everything, their chances at a happily ever after might just go up in flames.
For a short story it wasn’t too bad at all! Terry Bolryder definitely has a style that is easy to read and also enjoyable! The sex scenes were written well and learning about the dragons is interesting. Recommended if you enjoy a fast paced shifter book.
