Author(s): Kate Sherwood
Length: 177 pages
Publisher:
Genre: Romance / Paranormal? / New Adult /
Notes: I cannot tell if this is a paranormal story or strictly contemporary. I selected it because I thought it was about shifters...
Blurb: Noah Reed has his life planned out. There was that one glitch, years ago, but he's back on track now and determined to reach his goal of becoming a veterinarian and building his own practice.
Shane Black's hard life has taught him there's no point in looking forward and even less in looking back. He takes life as it comes, and his only real need is medical care for his young pup, Dodger.
When Shane stumbles into the clinic where Noah volunteers, Noah’s instincts tell him to run away from the dangerous, unpredictable ruffian. But the puppy needs help, and maybe Shane does, too.
The young men soon discover that Dodger was poisoned, and so were several street people Shane knows. As they search for the source of the poison, Noah learns about the dark underside of the city where he’s spent his whole life, and Shane learns that there is light in the world, even when he’s stuck in the shadows.
But when their relationship begins to grow from a partnership to a romance, new challenges appear. Their worlds are so different—can they ever make sense together? Is there any room in Noah’s carefully planned life for someone as unpredictable as Shane?

Genre: Romance / Historical / Old West / Suspense / Brothers / MFM /
Notes: Seriously, they had me at Western menage. Just saying. There needs to be more menages in the old west. Do you know how many more men than women there was at that time?
Blurb: Celia Lawrence can’t show her face in her conservative, small town. First, she discovered her husband in bed with another man’s wife, and then she witnessed both their murders. While she didn’t pull the trigger, small town gossip is not forgiving and everywhere she goes she is chastised for not being woman enough to keep her straying husband at home. Eager to flee her old life, Celia heads to Colorado as a mail-order bride.
As mayor of Slate Springs, Colorado, Luke Tate is expected to set the example. Their small town is hidden away in a remote mountainous region where few women have the courage or desire to tread. As mayor, it falls to him to test out their newly passed law and share a wife with his brother. The truth is, Luke has no interest in a woman of his own, and agrees to a mail-order bride out of duty, not anticipation.
His brother, Walker, is jaded and hard after the death of his first wife. For Walker, loving again is out of the question. But a man has needs, and he’ll eagerly take his pleasure from their new bride while expecting Luke to provide the tenderness and caring a woman expects.
A marriage based on everything but love should be doomed. But Celia, Luke and Walker discover one thing they have in common: desire. Will that be strong enough to survive the danger that follows Celia from Texas? Will desire be strong enough to teach the three that sometimes you have to risk everything for love?

Notes:
Blurb: Malachi O’Rourke spends his years as president of the Disciples of the Road cleaning up his father’s mess, grieving a broken heart, and protecting the men under his charge. Sawyer Malone hasn’t had it easy either since joining the Scorpions. While paying back a personal debt for his club seems gratifying on the surface, he ends up sacrificing way more than he bargained for.
When Mal recognizes that Sawyer is struggling, he offers him needed support. Something about the man’s quiet strength stirs deeply inside him. Sawyer knows he shouldn’t rely on the solace Mal provides, but he’s been the only ray of light in an otherwise bleak few months. So after a tender moment passes between the men, they simply chalk it up to their newfound friendship.
Besides, no one will ever measure up to Mal’s former old lady and Sawyer’s just been through his own tragic ordeal. But when they’re thrust together for a weekend event involving both of their clubs, they can no longer deny their attraction. Except time-honored loyalties and hard-fought tradition will not only force them to risk their standing—but also gamble with their hearts.

Author(s): ViVi Dubois
Length: 402 pages
Publisher:
Genre: Young Adult / Paranormal / Vampires / Werewolves / Romance on the Side / Gay /
Notes:
Blurb: Lionel Hartley is no longer alone. Over the past few months, through bitter trials and turmoil, he has surrounded himself with people he cares about, and who care about him in return. But this elation is short-lived; just as things seem to be settling down on Shadow Avenue, new troubles begin cropping up right at his doorstep.
Forced to face what’s left of his family for the first time in years, Lionel uncovers a disturbing secret about his own origins. Meanwhile, his roommate Rik Tyler is grappling with his new life as a lycanthrope, and all of the pain and risks that come par for the course. The Noir family isn’t doing much better, as the siblings are still suffering the consequences of an attack on one of Lionel’s classmates. The victim keeps digging for the truth, and is attracting the attention of a dangerous new threat.
As the stakes grow, the distinction between friend and foe become blurred and loyalties are tested. Lionel is torn between doing what’s morally right and what his heart compels him to. Can Lionel walk the line and somehow bring both sides together? Or will his neutral stance drive a friend to do the unforgivable?
With so many factors weighing in against them, Lionel is faced with a terrible choice; to ensure the safety of others by ending a life, or to jeopardize everything to save it.
A sequel to “Shadow Avenue: The Hidden House”, this story takes place where the previous instalment left off, and is meant to be read as a second act in the series. It may be difficult to follow if the previous book has not been read.
