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

 What am I doing? Working away on Cherish the next book of the Valespian Pact. Petting all the pretty, new covers for Sumeria's Sons. Trying not to melt in the summer heat (The husband is wearing sweats and long sleeves in the house, complaining he is cold. LOL). How is it mid-August already?

Title: How to Hack the Hacker
Series: 
(Unholy Trifecta Book 3)
Author: AJ Sherwood
Length: 194 pages

Genre: Romance / Contemporary / Criminals & Bounty Hunters / Gay / 

Notes: This one of my favorite series. I love this bunch of criminal misfits. I was so glad that Kyou's hand was forced so that he and Bran could meet. 

Blurb: Staying away is Kyou’s number one rule when it comes to protecting the sexy real-estate developer.

Kyou has a routine. A system. He guards Brannigan Genovese, hacks for his family of choice, and drinks far too much caffeine for any living being. Only a few things can completely disrupt his routine to cause him trouble:

•Brannigan buying up real estate from the Irish Mob
•Kyou’s band of brothers figuring out who Brannigan actually is
•Ivan
•Feelings for one Brannigan Genovese

Oddly enough, it’s the feelings that get Kyou in the most trouble. Because when Brannigan is in danger, Kyou ignores all his brain’s protestations and breaks every rule he has to save the man, including his number one.

And damn the consequences.

Title: Convincing Conrad
Series: The Bodyguard Pack, 1
Author: Casey Drake
Length: 248 pages

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Shifters / Gay /

Notes: This is a shared world with Macy Blake's Chosen One world. I'm about half way through and there has been a lot of action and a cute set of twins.

Blurb: Conrad Stokes knows he’s in trouble when he uncovers an embezzlement scheme and watches as his boss’s office is ransacked… by glowing-eyed shadows. Now his boss is dead, and Conrad is understandably freaked out and doesn’t want to go home alone. Enter Ryder, the gorgeous security specialist sent by his sister.

Ryder Weller didn’t know what to expect when he answered Connie’s call to escort her twin brother home from a seedy bar across town. A trashed apartment, the scent of dangerous wolves, and the overwhelming need to protect the human in his care at all costs wasn’t it. He sure wasn’t dreaming of forever… or finding a true mate. But it might all be within his grasp—after he breaks the news that “werewolves are real, and hey, I’m one of them,” that is.


Title: Demons do it Better
Series: A Hidden Sepcies, 1
Author: Louisa Masters
Length: 254 pages

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Demons / Shifters  / Admin Assistant to the Devil / Kidnappings / Mystery / Gay / 

Notes: I have been seeing a lot of chatter over this one and decided to take a look.

Blurb: I work for Lucifer. Only, it’s not as cool and satanic as it sounds.The truth is, I’m an admin assistant who applied for a job that sounded kind of interesting and ended up working for the Community of Species Government. I’m the only human in the office, and basically I ride herd on a team of rambunctious shifters and demons.

I also spend a lot of time avoiding Gideon Bailey, the demon I had a one-night stand with right before I took this job. He hates me, and I really want to avoid being murdered. But I’ve been offered a promotion that will mean working with him, so we’re both going to have to get over it.

Plus, people are going missing. Pregnant people. And the word is that someone is dabbling in genetic experimentation. Putting a stop to that is more important than the sexual tension Gideon and I have been ignoring… isn’t it?


Title: Never a Saint
Series: 
(Polished P & P Book 2)
Author: Lila Rose
Length: 211 pages

Genre: Romance / Contemporary / Motorcycle Club / Low Angst / Bisexual / 

Notes: I really like this series. The relationship is low angst but it is also about a motorcycle club that sometimes does shady stuff which includes taking out/killing enemies to the club. I will definitely be picking this series up on audiobook if the author chooses to put one out.

Blurb: Kylo Lee, prospect to the Diamond MC, makes a career shift to help better his future. He doesn’t know it will change him in more ways than one, and it’s all to do with a certain man who confuses and annoys him, while sending his emotions wild.

Just when everything is falling into place, life takes a turn down a road where Kylo doesn’t want to go. His past comes back to bite him in the ass. Pain surrounds him and all that can make him happy is vengeance, and the man who surprisingly still stands at his side.

Note: This is book two in the Polished P & P mm romance series, but it can be read as a standalone.


Title: Poseidon's Lady
Series: (Poseidon's Warriors MC)
Author: Darlene Tallman
Length: 287 pages

Genre: Romance / Contemporary / Motorcycle Club / 

Notes: The cover and then the blurb caught my attention on this one. I've never read this author before, so I'm not sure what to expect.

Blurb: Poseidon Malone is on his annual retreat at his grandfather’s one-room cabin. Since separating from the U.S. Navy as a SEAL, he and his unit have established a legit motorcycle club in coastal Georgia. Life is good but he’s lonely and the easy women that come around when they have a party just aren’t cutting it any more.

He never expects his ‘one’ to pass out at his feet.

Lillianna Rose is on the run from her best friend, as well as her fiancé. Finding out that they’ve been cheating on her isn’t the straw that breaks the camel’s back, however; no, it was their nefarious plot that sent her on the run.

When her car breaks down in the North Georgia mountains, she sets out on foot in one of the worst snowstorms recorded.

When she wakes up, she finds her future.

**Suitable for ages 18+ due to strong language and adult content**

Title: Smash & Grab
Series: Relic, 1
Author: Maz Maddox
Length: 179 page

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Gay

Notes: This was a great read. Fun and inventive with great characters. If it was in paperback, I would buy a it. If it was on audio, I would buy that too. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Blurb: My standard issued lab badge reads 'Simon' but it really should say 'unexciting nerd with no social life'Don’t get me wrong -- I love what I do with a passion, but it doesn’t leave a lot of time for much else.

Especially romance.

While chipping away at my work, I’m suddenly the person between hired cartel muscle and the fossil that will define my career.
Which isn’t the most insane part of the story.

My savior is a chaotic, bat-wielding punk with a bubble gum pink mohawk and a killer smile.

In a mad dash to escape the thieves, my knight in studded armor sweeps me across the country while hitting every tourist trap along the way.

While smuggling a fossil, might I add.

Oh, and did I mention this pink punk can shift into a dinosaur?


Title: Addie
Series: Pack of Misfits
Author: Raven Kennedy
Length: 272 pages

Genre: Romance / Paranormal / Non-Predator Shifters / MMMF / 

Notes: I have the audio of this and really enjoyed the book. It has a little bit of angst because the love interest have a prejudice against prey shifters. So there is that to work through. Lots of puns thrown around and the duck cracked me up.

Blurb: I live with a pack of misfit shifters.
Freaks. Rogues. Oddballs. Prey. Runts. Deformed. We're all welcome in Pack Aberrant.

We aren't going to be winning any popularity contests, but our hodgepodge bunch is more loyal than even the strongest pred packs. I should know. I grew up in one of them. As soon as they realized I was different, I was despised, even by my own family.

So I left, joined Pack Aberrant, and I've steered clear of alpha pred assholes ever since. Until my heatwave hits, and I accidentally jump three coyote shifters in a parking lot. Whoopsie.

Once they realize what my animal is, they're gonna kick me to the curb just like every other pred shifter has. And my old pack? They come back to haunt me.

I'm unwanted by the three hotties, threatened by my old pack, and to top it all off, I have to find a new job because I attacked a bank robber. Accidentally.

Being a misfit really sucks sometimes.

Author's Note: This was originally released as a short story in the Shifting Destiny anthology. It has now been expanded into a full-length novel. Puns still included.

Addie's story is book one in the Pack of Misfits series. Every book will be a standalone for that character, but a continuation of the Pack Aberrant story. Book one is a reverse harem with multiple love interests with the main character. However, this is not a reverse harem series. Some main characters in this series will have monogamous relationships.

*This is intended for ages 18 and older due to sexual content and strong language.



Thank you for stopping by and reading!!
