LICKED is the prequel novella to the three trilogies in the Warrior Hearts Academy series.

It tells the story of Faith, Alistair, Kenji, and Kalen and how they realise they are mates. Faith is human (apparently), Kenji and Kalen are twin Morphs, and Alistair is a dragon. Told from multiple perspectives, I only got them mixed up when it was the twins, even though they have different personalities. For the life of me, I couldn't remember which one had blue-green eyes and which one had a scar! So unless they talked about whether they were grumpy or sunny, I always got lost with which one was talking.

Full of action and spicy dreams, we follow Faith and the others as their stories link together. I loved how Faith was not a weepy wallflower and used her rage to help others. I also loved that it wasn't just a simple "I'm telling you this is what you are" and then she immediately knows all she needs to.

A great novella that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

What a finale!
A SIREN'S FINALE concludes Aria's story. And what a story it has been! Aria finally has her Pod together when the sea witch makes an appearance. Come on, we've all been waiting for it! Will Aaron get what he deserves? Will Aria get her HEA?

I have LOVED this trilogy. It is full of action and adventure, with plenty of connection between the main characters, and smut in between the sheets. Just what I needed! I will say though, at one point near the end, my heart was in my mouth and it wasn't for any in the Pod but Aria's papa. Good grief, Ms Blythe, I thought you were killing me then!

Fast-paced, with a great supporting cast, this was a fitting end to the trilogy. I'm hoping for more as I really want to find out what's going on with Ariella. And, of course, anytime I get to return to Wildeward is a good thing by me. I need to check in on the Alpha's Lodge, after all.

If you like things spicy and don't want to choose, then I HIGHLY recommend any book by Gwyneira Blythe!

EARTH WOLF AND FIRE is the second book in the Eliza Falls series, although it can be read as a standalone. The couple from the first book, Seb and Cora, are in here but you don't need their story for this one to work.

Ulla is someone who has connected with Nature at a very young age. Unfortunately, children can be cruel and she paid the price. The only people she really sees as friends are Cora and Desi. She returns home to Eliza Falls and runs into Desi, sparking their friendship again. However, Cora and Desi are now part of a Pack. Through one thing and another, Ulla meets Tate and BOOM. There you go. Insta-lust in spades.

This is a great paranormal romance series, one that I am thoroughly enjoying. It is funny in places, spicy in others, and even the occasional hint of mystery. Ulla and Tate are just so goddamned cute together! AND you get it from both of their perspectives which makes it nicely rounded out.

All in all, this was a great addition to the series. I'm really hoping Desi is next, and with someone she doesn't see coming. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I have no hesitation in recommending it.
