Merissa (13816 KP) rated Lover's Moon (Gladstone Shifters #7) in Books
Dec 18, 2025
LOVER'S MOON is the seventh book in the Gladstone Shifters series, and I definitely recommend you read this after the others. There are a lot of couples and families that have already had their stories told, and they may confuse you if you don't know them. Opposites collide, and bonds are forged as the Gladstone pack drags the shifters into the modern world.
This book primarily focuses on Brent and Milo, although Camden, Robyn, and Trevor also have their roles to play. Brent is exuberant, Milo is introverted - a real case of opposites attract. And the thing I loved best is that they weren't immediately matched by Luna! Instead, they worked on their relationship, proving it just as strong as any other type of mating.
My biggest complaint with the last book was that there was so much going on, I got lost. With this book, there is still a lot going on; the overall arc continues to move forward, but it all seemed to work better, giving the mating couples their time to shine.
I adore how many omegas and True Elders there are now, and I sincerely hope Camden gets his own story, as I loved every scene he was in.
This was a fantastic book that I couldn't put down. A great addition to the series, and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me.

Merissa (13816 KP) rated An Impossible Mate (Strength of the Pack #1) in Books
Jan 29, 2026
AN IMPOSSIBLE MATE is the first book in the Strength of the Pack series, and features a small pack of stragglers and strays who all ended up in Elk Ridge, under the care of Matt, the alpha, and Bryce, the beta. Matt and Bryce are also the sheriff and deputy in town.
This is a world where shifters are known about, even if they aren't 'mainstream'. They have their own history, which you learn a little about, but they still keep a lot of things separate.
The pack is doing okay when Jesse comes along. He has been raised amongst non-shifters, so doesn't know about scent markers or anything else like that. After injuring one of the pack members and being injured himself, Jesse stays on the ranch, just for the short term. He is mouthy and funny, and Matt can't get him out of his head.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, especially seeing how the small pack meshed with each other. Matt's striving for calm orderliness was completely understandable, as was watching it descend into chaotic madness with all of the individual personalities that lived under one roof. The description of the photo at the end perfectly embodies all of them.
This was a great introduction to the series, and I can't wait to continue it. Jason's story is next (I think). Definitely recommended by me.

Samantha Reece (16 KP) rated The Dragons Of Sin City Box Set (Dragons of Sin City, #1-3) in Books
Nov 14, 2018
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I loved all three of the books in this box set!
The men: Cade, Noah, and Grant are all alpha (dragon) males, and I loved them all. Cade was my favorite. He is very protective and exciting. The women: Hope, Claire, and Freya are all independent women. My favorite was Hope. Maybe because her story is with Cade!
Ridley did a great job on character and world-building. All three books flowed together well, and it was easy to fall into reading and envision her words.
I would recommend this box set to paranormal lovers. Especially if you love dragon shifters! All in all, these books are exciting and worth the read.

Dec 17, 2018
This is one enjoyable book with a Kodiak bear that will make you want one for your very own. This was my first foray into the world of Shifters Unbound and it won't be my last. Although this is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone without any confusion - or at least I didn't find it confusing. There is enough detail given about mated pairs that I want to read their stories just to be nosy but nothing that gives anything away or leaves you wondering enough to drive you crazy.
The story itself is very well written and comes complete with action, tenderness, romance and fistfights.
This is only a novella so it does go quite quickly but definitely recommended to all Shifter fans.

Its been many years since I read the Shifters series and I've forgotten a lot of characters and the stuff that happened. I only really remember Faythe, Marc and Jace and the love triangle thing they had going on--and that I was very much Team Mace.
So for this to be Jace's story I was looking forward to reading his HAE. However, I was a little disappointed with the story. It didn't pull me in and make me desperate to know more about Jace and Abby and their relationship. And the love declarations seemed to come a little out of the blue, whether they'd been lusting after each other for years or not. Oh, I don't know. It just didn't work for me but it did make me cry a little at the end.

A decent read
Scout Donovan is a girl who believes in rules, logic, and her lifelong love of Charlie Hagan. Alex Cole believes in destiny, magic, and Scout. When Alex introduces Scout to the world of Shifters, men who change into wolves or coyotes during the full moon and Seers, women who can see your most private thoughts and emotions with a mere touch, the knowledge changes everything and everyone Scout thought she knew.
<strong>A decent read</strong>
This was Twilight without the vampires only better written. Don't get me wrong I like the twilight books but this just had the edge. It felt a little but rushed in places but for a first in the series it definitely made me want to continue reading.
Love triangle that ends in tragedy!
⭐⭐⭐
