What's on the Reading Radar? #TBR #WishList

What have I been up to? I spent part of the week on audio review of Songs of the Earth, then reviewing what I have for Constant, and spending time with my niece visiting from Seattle. 


Title: Hidden in Darkness
Series: In Darkness, 1
Author(s): Alice Winters
Length: 251 pages
Publisher: 

Genre: Romance / Contemporary / Action & Adventure / Comedy / MC w/Disability / Gay /

Notes: I finished this one on Thursday and really, really enjoyed the story. It is very funny and I did get teary in one place. It is something that I would not hesitate to recommend. I do wish I knew it was also on audiobook before I read it. :D

Blurb: When Felix lands a job taking care of a man recovering from severe injuries, he thinks his life may have just turned around. Anything has to be better than the place he’s leaving. There’s something about Lane that draws Felix to him and makes him question if this place could finally become a home for him. But when someone begins stalking Felix, he is left to question who Lane is and what actually happened to him. Together, Felix and Lane will be forced to see just how far they will go to protect each other. Being chased by cops, kidnapping a man, and breaking into a drug operation seems to be his normal since arriving in Lane’s life. Felix may be out of his element, but one thing he is sure about is that he doesn’t want to leave, even if it costs him his life.


Title: Human Omega Trapped in the Alien Jungle
Series: (Pykh Book 2)
Author(s): Eileen Glass
Length: 385 pages
Publisher: Glass Fiction (September 27, 2018)

Genre: Romance / Sci-Fi / Aliens / Poly / Gay / 

Notes: I read the first book in the series and really liked it. I'm excited to see where it will go.

Blurb: Carter isn't sure what to call his two alien protectors. Friends? Boyfriends? Mates?

Or merely indiscriminate lovers with sexy purrs and tangling tails?

He would be lost without them, he knows that. When their home is invaded by a dangerous new kind of alien slaver, they strike out into the jungle. He depends on them for food, protection, a direction to walk in. He's helpless even for shelter and warmth.

Thankfully, his alien lovers seem devoted, but why? Carter wishes he knew their names or anything else. Like whether the attachment he's feeling is returned.

With aliens, you can't make assumptions.

Wouldn't it be nice if he could just ask?




Title: Entangled: The Omega Bounty Hunter
Series: Briar Wood Pack, 1
Author(s):Claire Cullen
Length: 180 pages
Publisher: 

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Alpha * Omega / Shifters / Mpreg / Gay / 

Notes: I finished this one, too. One to the next one.

Blurb: An omega who can’t bond is no omega at all.”

Worthless. Useless. Damaged. Broken. Noah’s heard it all. He knows how his pack sees him, how society views shifters like him. An omega’s worth lies in their ability to bond with an alpha, to carry their children. His scars take all that away. Still, he longs for the things he can’t have; an alpha of his own to love and who loves him back. His life is one of loneliness and drudgery, stuck looking after a boarding house no one ever stays in.

When Preston, an alpha from a well-off pack, breezes into his life and offers him everything he’s ever wanted, Noah desperately wants to believe it’s not too good to be true. Instead, Preston’s arrival throws him into the path of Ronan, the dark and dangerous alpha on Preston’s trail. He should have had Noah running for cover, yet the promises that sounded so hollow on Preston’s lips sound anything but on Ronan’s. But Ronan’s world isn’t the world of tedium that Noah knows, it’s a gritty underworld that he doesn’t know how to survive.

“People told me I was all brawn and no brains, only good for fighting. They were wrong about me. And they’re wrong about you.”

Ronan knows what it’s like to be a slave to society’s expectations. Trained as a fighter for his pack, he broke away and built a life of his own; a new pack, a job, everything except an omega to share it with. When he meets Noah, he sees past his scars to the omega underneath, and knows he’s the one he wants by his side. But, as easy as it was to catch Noah, it’s going to be a hundred times harder to keep him. To stay together, they have to do the impossible. They have to bond.

Entangled is a novel-length read, containing mpreg, banter, knotting, and other scenes not suitable for readers under the age of eighteen.

As long as Liam and Ondry have the same goals—the pursuit of profits and status—they are the perfect partnership. But now Ondry wants to protect his palteia at any cost, even if it costs him his newly won rank. Liam hates the idea of Ondry sacrificing for him, and he is not going to allow Ondry to lose status under any circumstances. Add in the Imshee, a predatory companion animal, a new human, and an obstinate Grandmother, and Liam has the recipe for a serious headache. Despite what Ondry believes, not all problems can be solved with a good trade, a tail or a flash of tooth. This time, Liam and Ondry are going to need to find a compromise.




Title: Elemental Magic
Series: (The Donovan Coven)
Author(s): Jacki James
Length: 153 pages
Publisher: 

Genre: Romance / Fantasy / Urban Fantasy / Gay / 

Notes: 

Blurb: For most of Aaron’s life, things have been uninteresting, boring, safe--just the way he likes them. He makes his decisions based on logic and reason and he doesn’t believe in paranormal mumbo jumbo like crystals and tarot cards and witches. 

When he sees an ad for an estate sale at the old house on the edge of town, he doesn’t see any harm in going and buying some things like an old book with odd symbols on the front for his antique shop. Who cares if the old woman who owned the house was rumored to be a witch; everyone knows witches aren’t real.

After accidentally raising a demon by goofing around with a spell from the book, Aaron realizes that there are things in this world that logic and reason can’t explain. Witches are indeed real, and he just might be one.

Malakai has been searching for the Coughlan Grimoire for years, knowing there are spells in the book that can be dangerous if they fall into the wrong hands. Securing the book so his coven can protect it is of the utmost importance.

He isn’t prepared for the adorable rookie witch with the curly red hair and incredible latent power. But to his surprise, keeping Aaron safe and close by his side quickly becomes more important than the Grimoire. More important than anything.

Before Malakai and Aaron can be together they will have to battle vampires, wolf shifters, and one very powerful warlock. Malakai can’t do it alone; it will take friends, family, and for Aaron to figure out just how powerful he is if the two of them are going to protect the book and make their new found bond last forever.

This book is a paranormal romance between two men and is intended for mature audiences.

Genre: Romance / Sci-Fi / Bisexual / Reverse Harem / First Contact / Alien Invasion /

Notes: 

Blurb: I’m stumbling around with no memory, no idea who I am, or how I came into existence…I mean, I know my life didn’t just start. The pain in my ankle and arm tells me something happened, perhaps something terrible. If only I could remember…

This planet is magical or cursed, I’m not sure which. Things appear and disappear before my eyes, terrifying monsters trying to devour me. I’m alone, and frightened. And then I stumble upon them: three delicious looking guys with hard bodies. They strip naked, transforming into powerful animals like pre-historic wolves. But I know this is some trick of the mind, I know they can’t be real. I’ve been fooled too many times. Still, I watch, enjoying the show my mind has created…

Every day, they return. Maybe they are real… Are they being held prisoner by the spider creatures? Am I like them? Did I escape and leave them behind? After days, perhaps weeks of searching and never finding anyone else, I decide to rescue them.

Maybe.

They look dangerous.

And I want them.
