Author: L.P. Dover
Genre: Paranormal Romance/Suspense
Release Date: September 28, 2021


BLURB

Sexy wolves and heart-stopping action await in Claimed by the Moon, the highly-anticipated continuation of the Royal Shifters series by New York Times and USA Today best-selling author L.P. Dover!

In his 200 years of life, Zayne Lyall has made his share of enemies. The most ruthless of all being Knox Channon, who seeks vengeance for a pack war that took place over a hundred years ago.

To gain information he can use to bring Zayne down, Knox reconnects with Amelie Graye, a past love who joined the Royal pack Zayne belongs to. Unfortunately, Amelie doesn't know much about the royal arctic... despite a longing within her to be near him.

Amelie and Knox have a tumultuous past that ended after she and her family went rogue following an attack by the Sierra pack. While she has no details to offer about Zayne, Knox sniffing around her leaves his inner wolf snarling.

More than anything Zayne wants to charge in and protect the woman his heart aches for. But he has a secret... and it could cost him everything. Amelie is his fated mate. If Knox were to discover this, he would know hurting her would be the key to destroying Zayne. Torn between his desire to claim Amelie as his own and his ferocious passion to protect her, can Zayne find a way to bring down his malicious enemy? Or will an age old vendetta rob him of a blissful future with his bonded mate?

EXCERPT

The door to the cabin opens, and Amelie steps out with her caramel-colored hair in a ponytail and dressed in a tank top and yoga pants. It’s fifteen degrees outside, but the cold doesn’t bother us. The smell of snow approaches, and I can tell it’s going to come down hard within the hour. Looking up at the sky, it’s dark, and the clouds are thick.
Amelie plugs in the Christmas lights on her porch and looks up at them when she gets into the yard. I’ve never seen someone so fascinated with the holidays. But she’d be appalled if she could see my house at Christmas time. I’ve never cared about decorating or celebrating, at least not in the last thirty years after losing Alina. Something tells me I might have to change that. If this is going to work between us, I’ll have no choice but to see things differently. The only problem is that I have no idea how to do that.
Amelie runs through the woods in human form, and I follow behind her, making sure to keep my presence hidden. I’m not ready for her to know I’m there yet. The lake is a few miles into the woods, and her movements are smooth and concise as she swerves in and out of the trees. The only other people I’ve seen move like that are my brothers. She had to have learned it from Micah. I’ve envied him for being so close to her. It’s even made me a little jealous, but I know he’s never tried anything with her. When he comes back to town, things might be a little different. I’m hoping Amelie will let me train her instead of him.
The lake comes into view, and I slow my pace. Amelie stops by the water and blows out a breath, watching the steam billow into the wind. She raises her arms in the air and stretches, exposing her bare stomach as her shirt lifts up. The need in me rises, and I close my eyes. All I can think about is taking her in my arms and making her mine.
“Fuck,” I hiss under my breath. My cock hardens at the thought of her naked and spread out beneath me. Stepping behind the tree, I lean against it to regain my composure. I’m always in control, but around Amelie, I’ve lost all sense of it. Taking a deep breath, I let it out slow until everything goes back to normal. When it does, I unleash my power so Amelie can sense me.




Tonya's Review
4 Stars

This is the sixth book in the Royal shifters series.  They are stand alones, but I think they're better if read in order. 
This is Zayne and Amelie's story.
Zayne was Collin's protector.  He's over 200 years old.  His past is catching up to him.  It's not a good thing either.  If Kara and Knox find out who his mate is, she's dead.  They will kill her.
Amelie is a mother hen type.  She takes care of everyone.
I did really enjoy this read.  I wish Knox would have been told who Zayne's mate is.  Would have been like rubbing salt in his wounds.

**NEW RELEASE WITH REVIEW** Faking It With #41 by Piper Rayne

Release Date: September 21


Fake.

 

Being the heir to Jacobs Enterprises, I’ve been around fake people my entire life. I promised myself a long time ago that I wouldn’t change for anyone. Which is the only reason I’m a professional hockey player who lives on the beach and does as he pleases without answering to anyone—except my father.

 

And now, my daughter.

 

Being a single dad wasn’t in the plan but after a one-night stand who took off after the baby was born, this is my reality.

 

My dad’s been harping on me to quit hockey and join the company for years and now that I’m a father, he’s only intensified his efforts. Until he makes me a deal I can’t refuse.

 

Insert Lena Boyd, the Jacobs’ family PR rep. She’s beautiful and intelligent and not at all the woman for me—ask anyone. 

 

My dad needs us to act happily engaged and sell the idea that we’re in love. If we’re successful I won’t have to join the family legacy—ever. Of course, I agree.

 

That’s when things get complicated. I thought I had her all figured out until I found out there was more underneath her judgmental sneers and eye rolls. It feels like everything is coming together for the future I really want—with Lena—until my past ruins everything.

Tonya's Review
5 Stars

This is the third book in the Hockey Hotties series.  They are all stand alones, but we do see the other characters in each book.  So if you're like me, you'll want to read them all from the beginning.  You won't be disappointed!
This is my favorite of the three so far!
I absolutely loved this story.  I mean who doesn't like a professional athlete/playboy/single dad/fake marriage?  These are some of my favorite tropes all wrapped in one book!
Lena is great.  I do understand why she questioned everything with Ford.  With what she went through, who could blame her.  She saw him at his worst, she bailed him out in the tabloids.  
Ford changes so much.  Once Annabelle came into the picture, she became his world.  He's a great dad.  He put her first even when he knew things  could go bad.

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Inmate Of The Month by Lani Lynn Vale

 




Inmate of the Month

Souls Chapel Revenants MC Book 7

Lani Lynn Vale

Release Date: September 21, 2021

 


About the Book

A porn video changed his life.

 

One second, he has an ex with an ax to grind, and the next, he’s internet famous—and definitely not in a good way. In an, it’ll ruin your career, kind of way.

 

Only, Laric didn’t know that he was internet famous.

 

Not until a black-haired beauty walks into his life, and stumbles over every word that she says because all she can picture is him doing the unthinkable for the world to see.

 

Sadly, that’s not the only thing wrong in his life. His world is messed up, and he likes it that way.

 

There’s no room for a woman that wants to fix him.

 

Because fixing requires intimacy, and intimacy isn’t something that Laric does. Not after the life that he’s lived, and the things he’s done to survive. Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that he’s a felon, and he has no regrets about how he got that title.

 

The last thing he needs in his life is a woman that has her head in the clouds and thinks this world is made of butterflies and confetti.

 

However, Catori isn’t who she seems.

 

The day she meets tall, dark, and handsome, he saves her life. And then never leaves—though not for his lack of trying.

Not that she’s complaining about the way they’re thrown together, time after time. She’s more than willing to have a man like Laric around. Mostly because she’s already seen the good in him that he refuses to admit that’s there.

 

He may be a biker that does questionable things, but in her heart, she knows that he does those bad things for good reasons. And she’s not about to throw away the chance at happiness just because he thinks he knows what’s best for her.

Plot twist: she knows what’s best for her. And that’s him.

God help her.

Tonya's Review

5 Stars


Finally we get Laric's story! I was so excited when this hit my kindle.  I couldn't put it down.  I was even reading it at a party/bonfire.

We have met Catori before.  She is Jack and Winter's daughter (Freebirds series).

I love how Laric helps the retired military dogs learn how to just be a dog.  He takes the ones that are on their last chance.

I love how Catori got in Zach's face and stood up for herself. 

These two are great characters and they are even better together!

This is a great read!

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Apollo by Marie James

 Release Date: September 9


The first time we met, I was rescuing her from a cult.
The second time I laid eyes on her was when she showed up at Cerberus with a secret, asking me for an unthinkable favor.
What she was offering was something I never thought I could have, so I readily agreed.
I wanted more than just her secret though.
How can I convince my wife to fall in love with me when someone else is threatening to take it all away?

Tonya's Review
4 Stars

This is the 18th book in the Cerberus MC series.  They are complete stand alones, but I have loved this series.  

April is Cara's younger sister.  They don't really have much of a relationship due to the cult that they were raised in.  When it was time for April to marry the cult leader, Legend and Apollo were sent to get her out of there.  

Now, she's been kicked out of her grandparents house and finds herself at the doors to Cerberus, looking for Apollo, not Cara. 

She's been so brainwashed by the cult.

She needs a huge favor from Apollo.  He jumps on it.  He will help her out no matter what she asks.

This goes from a quickie marriage to help April, to them falling in love.  All during that time, Apollo is trying to help her by breaking the brainwashing. 

I only gave this a 4 star because I would have liked more at the end.  I felt like we were left hanging.  Was there another court date?  What happened with all of that? 
Meet Marie James


Let's see...where to begin...

I'm inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.

I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)

We have two boys we're doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman.

I have a master's degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there's usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.

If I'm not writing; I'm reading.

My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I'm reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it's gotten me exactly where I need to be!)

I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.

**RELEASE BLITZ WITH REVIEW** Jerk It by Lani Lynn Vale

Jerk It

Madd Crossfit Series 2

September 7, 2021

 


About the Book

 

Mavis always assumed that she would be in a hospital with the good drugs when her time came. Not in the middle of the road, with no one around but the damn town mechanic that hated her.

 

But there she was, having a rock star’s baby, with no one to rely on but the one that let it be known around every turn that she was a horrible person.

 

From the time that she met Murphy and became best friends with him at the age of eight, she knew he was destined for greatness.

 

But then her grandmother fired Murphy’s mom, forcing them to live on the streets, and making Murphy to realize that maybe they weren’t best friends after all.

 

Murphy loved Mavis.

 

At least, he had when he was younger, before she betrayed him.

 

From that moment forward, Murphy goes out of his way to stay the hell away from her, and always makes sure to never get too close. Even though everything inside of him screams to make contact.

 

When he moves back to town after being gone for five years, he tries his best to stay away.

 

But there she is at his CrossFit gym. Then having a baby on the side of the road. Oh, and breaking him a little more with each step she takes away.

 

Eventually, they find their way back to each other. The only problem is, by the time that Mavis makes her way back into his heart, it breaks. And not in a rhetorical way. In the ‘he only has days to live’ kind of way.

Tonya's Review
5 Stars

This is the second book in the Madd Crossfit series.  It is a stand alone.

**WARNING**
Make sure that you have at least one full box of tissues.  You will be ugly crying!  I can guarantee that.

I honestly don't know what to say for this review because I don't want to give anything away.  We have a few surprises.

Mavis is such an amazing character.  So is Murphy.

My heart broke so many times while reading this.

I know it's not in the plans, but after this book, Madden really needs some happy.

Oh Lani, I don't like you for making me cry so much.  Still love you, but I don't like ya right now!

**REVIEW TOUR** The Aristocrat by Penelope Ward




Title: The Aristocrat
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 30, 2021


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

The one that got away. Every girl has one, right?
Mine was a charming, British aristocrat who turned my world upside down one summer.
From the moment I first spotted Leo in the distance through my binoculars, I’d been captivated. I certainly never expected to find a man showering outside of the property across the bay in his birthday suit.
Then I noticed his housemate staring back at me with binoculars of his own—watching me watching Leo.
That made for an interesting conversation starter when I inevitably ran into them.
Turned out, the handsome Brits were only renting that house for the summer in my seaside town.
Leo and I formed an instant connection, even though we were technically opposites by all appearances. I taught him how to dig for clams, and he taught me that not all wealthy and powerful guys are pretentious.
Despite knowing he was totally wrong for me, I couldn’t seem to stay away.
It was a wild and crazy few months. And before I knew it, we’d fallen in love.
We both had one wish: more time together.
But Leo had obligations back home. He lived a life I’d never fit into. And I was going to law school. So, we decided to end it and never look back.
A part of me always felt like I’d let my soulmate walk away.
I believed our story was over.
Until five years later when he sent me a letter that shook me to my core.
I’d thought my world was turned upside down that first summer?
Well, I knew nothing yet.

Tonya's Review
4 Stars

This is yet another good stand alone by Penelope Ward. 
I loved the first "meeting" between Felicity, Leo, and Sig.  Who would think that "bird-watching" could be so life changing.
I loved Felicity and Leo together.  I do wish Leo would  have said screw his family obligations.  But I understand why he  couldn't, and wouldn't.  He had a lot of responsibilities placed on him.  
Sig's jokes and humor were awesome.  I did love all the characters.
Now this story is in two parts.  I won't talk about the second part because I absolutely don't want to give anything away.
But my question is..
Does Sig get a book?
