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

What a week! I got a little breathing room and took Friday off. Got some packing done and laundry... and that sounds boring but it was a change of pace which I really needed. I did get a new read under my belt but I also did some re-listening of audiobooks too. 

Title: Stop at Nothing
Series: The Chosen One, 5
Author: Macy Blake
Length: 246 pages

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Poly / Gay

Notes: I read this over the week, excited to see how she would resolve the issue. It was a great culmination to the series. I love Nick. I love everyone else, but Nick...

Blurb: Series Finale

With all of his mates assembled, Sawyer Smith should be ready for his own version of the end game. He must defeat the god of air and restore both of their broken magics to all of the realms. There’s only one problem: he still doesn’t know how to do it.

HIs brother is a god and is raising the forces of darkness against Sawyer and his mates more quickly than he can mount a defense. It’s time to fight, but Sawyer has too much to lose to risk disaster. As the final pieces of the puzzle fall into place, Sawyer is faced with a task that seems impossible. He must go into battle without the knowledge or power to win.

So many of his questions remain unanswered, but Sawyer knows one thing: He will stop at nothing to keep his mates safe.




Title: Blazing
Series: Valos of Sonhadra
Author: Nancey Cummings
Length: 185 pages

Genre: Romance / Fantasy-Sci-Fi / Poly / MFMM /

Notes: I don't think that I have read anything by this author before, but this book is in the Valos series and I'm considering giving it a try. 

Blurb: A woman on fire.

Lucie survived four hellish years in prison, being sucked through a wormhole and crashing onto an alien planet. All she wants is to go home. Passion and rage burn in her. She wants her life back and nothing will stop her: not prison, not an alien planet and not three powerful aliens determined to claim her. They won't distract her with their smoldering embrace or fiery kisses.

Alien men forged from fire.

Sarsen, Ertale and Asche spent the last thousand years waiting for release from their bonds. When the intriguing female bursts into their lives, she frees them from their unending servitude and ignites the fire in their heartstones. Now she thinks she can just leave them behind?

Not acceptable.

All three will do whatever it takes to make Lucie understand that her body and her heart belongs to them.

The Valos of Sonhadra series is the shared vision of nine sci-fi and fantasy romance authors. Each book is a standalone, containing its own Happy Ever After, and can be read in any order.
Blazing is a Reverse Harem story with three heroes and one lucky heroine, complete and no cliffhangers.

Title: Witchbond
Series: Kitsune Chronicles, 2
Author: Lissa Kasey
Length: 308 pages

Genre: Romance / Fantasy / Urban Fantasy / Gay

Notes: LOVE this series. 

Blurb: If your super power meant you could turn into a kitsune, a powerful fox spirit, you wouldn’t fear for the life of your mate, right?

Sebastian survived an entire year on the run from the supernatural. Then he met Liam, his fated mate and alpha werewolf, and thought maybe he’d found a home. Until the fae come calling. They want control of Seb’s power, even if that means eliminating Liam to get it.

When a trick leaves Seb in trouble with the werewolves, the military, and the fae, he fears his only option is to run. Except Seb is done running. He will stop at nothing to keep Liam by his side, even if it means letting his beast loose on them all.

Title: Slay My Love
Series: 
Author: Lee Colgin
Length: 242 pages

Genre: Slow Burn Romance / Enemies to Lovers / Vampire / Gay

Notes: I have never read Lee Colgin before but the cover caught my attention when I was book browsing. I've been looking for vampire romances lately and I love enemies to lovers, so I put this on the wish list. 

Blurb: What happens when you’re attracted to the very person who wants to kill you?

Gianni, a born vampire, lives among undead brethren striving to find his place in their society.

Franklin, a vampire hunter, accepts a mission from the Scourge to capture Gianni for testing.

The pair meet along dark city streets, and an ill-fated attraction smolders between them. Natural enemies form an unlikely bond, but the peace between them cannot last.

The Scourge—an ancient organization bent on conquering supernaturals—need a born vampire for their labs. Franklin needs to rise in the ranks to live up to his family name. Gianni is caught in the fray. Where shame and betrayal loom large, can a vampire and a slayer find love, or will one have to kill the other to survive?

Slay My Love is a gay paranormal romance with a slow burn enemies to lovers trope. Content includes passionate scenes and violence. Intended for mature readers.

Title: Lord of the Last Heartbeat
Series: (The Sacred Dark Book 1)
Author: May Peterson
Length:

Genre: Romance / Fantasy / Dark Fantasy Horror (per one of Amazon's categories) / Gay

Notes: So Dark Fantasy Horror is usually not a category that I usually read, but I have been looking for something different and I'm not going to know if this is going to jive with me unless I give it a try. 

Blurb: Stop me. Please.

Three words scrawled in bloodred wine. A note furtively passed into the hand of a handsome stranger. Only death can free Mio from his mother’s political schemes. He’s put his trust in the enigmatic Rhodry—an immortal moon soul with the power of the bear spirit—to put an end to it all.

But Rhodry cannot bring himself to kill Mio, whose spellbinding voice has the power to expose secrets from the darkest recesses of the heart and mind. Nor can he deny his attraction to the fair young sorcerer. So he spirits Mio away to his home, the only place he can keep him safe—if the curse that besieges the estate doesn’t destroy them both first.

In a world teeming with mages, ghosts and dark secrets, love blooms between the unlikely pair. But if they are to be strong enough to overcome the evil that draws ever nearer, Mio and Rhodry must first accept a happiness neither ever expected to find.

One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise!
