Fate has it in for me.
She’s sent a human vet to stay in the bunkhouse. With me.
I might not have the wolf scent, but I have the hearing.
I learn she’s a virgin. I offer her two weeks.
Two weeks where I’ll show her a large animal. One she can’t resist.
Or at least one who can’t resist her.
I’ll prove she doesn’t know everything about four-legged beasts.
Especially not the fiercest ones who stalk their prey in the night.
Especially not one determined to prey on her.
Me.
Seraphina nickered, as if she found me amusing.
“Excuse me?” The crisp white blouse from the day before was replaced with a plaid button-up. Little pearl snaps drew my eye to the swell of her breasts. She wore a pretty plum shade of lipstick on her pillowy lips and mascara today.
That was new. Was it for me? I sure as fuck hoped it was. It was totally unnecessary, of course, but I wouldn’t mind it if she was thinking about me when she dressed this morning. I had to wonder if she’d taken this much care on the outside, what was she wearing beneath? Lavender lace would look gorgeous on her.
“Cowboy services,” I said. “I may or may not have overheard you were in need of them. Please tell me I was the cowboy down the hall you were contemplating screwing. Because if it was Johnny, I’ll have to throat-punch him.”
Her eyes widened the moment she caught on to what I was talking about. She flushed, but a choked laugh came out of her. “Oh God. You heard that, too? I’m seriously going to die.”
“Nah, nothing shameful about knowing what you want. I like when a woman is aware of what she needs.”
Her gaze darted around, as if she could see outside the stall. “At least Johnny didn’t hear. Where is he anyway? I haven’t seen him since I moved in.”
“I kicked him out of the bunkhouse,” I admitted, without a bit of remorse. “I’m the one in danger of dying, doll. I keep thinking about you in the shower last night. Now I find out you’re in need of my services.”
“Services?” The word came out just over a whisper.
I arched a brow. She glanced away.
“I’m here with an offer.”
The thrum of her pulse made my wolf want to howl. The way her chest heaved, I’d made her breathless. Eager. Nervous. Still, she covered it well, cocking a hip and raising her brows. “Wh-what offer?”
I wasn’t going to skirt around the topic. We only had so much time. Not only because she was going back to Colorado but because I was going to lose my shit if I didn’t have her. “Two
weeks. That’s how long you’re here, right?”
She looked suspicious, cocking her head to the side, but nodded.
“Give me those fourteen nights to pleasure you.”
It was perfect. I had no intention of marrying a human, but this arrangement had a built in deadline. It could be short-term and casual without anyone’s heart getting broken. I’d take care of her needs, just as she’d told the person on the phone she wanted. And she’d slake this lust she’d produced in me. I’d get her out of my system before I found my true mate. If I found her. Until then, why not a little fun?
Her mouth opened and closed in surprise. “Wh-what do you mean?”
A smile tugged at my lips. “Oh, I think it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? You need your V-card punched with a—” I cleared my throat. “—hot cowboy.”
I was dying to touch her, but I waited, still not sure if she would pull back. “I’ll punch that card for you, and I promise I’ll make it good. I’ll keep punching it every night you’re here. You know—to make up for lost time.” My mouth stretched into a fierce grin. I reached for her waist and lightly settled my hand there to see if she’d accept my touch.
She did. Her gaze locked mine, the warm brown of her irises darkened with blown pupils. For a moment she didn’t breathe.
Neither did I.
“You want to… to have sex with me.”
“Yes.”
“For two weeks.”
“Yes.”
She was getting it. “A fling.”
“A fling,” I repeated.
She blinked, glanced between my eyes to assess my… sincerity? “Okay.”
I let out my breath. Okay?
She sounded unsure. Almost startled by her answer as if the words fell out of her mouth without thinking.
“Okay. Starting now.” I didn’t give her time to second-guess. I immediately tugged her close and slammed my lips down on hers.
I am a huge fan of paranormal romance. I love the whole fated mates and insta love as much as I love the growling, alpha mine. But I don't read nearly enough of it, partially because it can be a little monotonous and a little hit and miss. It's easy to veer into the cheesy when it's based on make believe or to go too over the top.
So when this series first caught my eye, literally the cover just called to me I ended up one clicking it. Which is unusual for me at the minute with the reading commitments I already have and the hundreds of books waiting on my kindle and my KU membership I normally talk myself out of buying more books. But I couldn't resist this series and I absolutely binged them. And now I jump on each new release.
I had no idea who this book was about before I started it and I didn't even glance at the blurb. And to be honest I don't really pay a lot of attention to the secondary characters unless they jump out at me so I only vaguely remember Levi. I was expecting the book to be about one of the more involved pack members.
And when they first started talking about the vet named Charlie I got all excited for a MM shifter story. Only to quickly realise that Charlie was all woman. I loved the chemistry between her and Levi. They were complete individually which made them more interesting to me. And together they were a great compliment to each other.
This series just keeps me hooked and I can't wait to see who's next and to see the pack members we've already met continue with their happily ever after.
I started this series on a whim and devoured the first three books and thought that was it. So naturally when I saw book four was out, I one clicked it. Then I read the blurb. And honestly, I was nervous. The other three were insta love/ fated mates and this one was whoops baby so I wasn't sure what to expect.
I hadn't really taken much notice of Clint in the previous books. But he was right up there with our other cowboys. And he might not have been a wolf by name but he definitely was one by nature. And with Becky's pregnancy he was super protective and possessive and I loved him.
Becky fit in well and her reactions were pretty authentic to what was going on. And since she had as much going on outside of the relationship as Clint I was really invested in her from the start. I liked her a lot. She was caring and despite being cautious she wasn't a drama queen or overreacting to things.
This book was a great addition to the series and I can't wait to see who's story we are getting next. And visiting with the cowboys again.
I started this series because this book randomly caught my attention when I saw the sign up it a while ago. And I really have enjoyed it. It's been the perfect, entertaining, light read to keep me reading.
This was the third book in the series and I had thought it was the last one being as it was about the third and final wolf brother. But at the end was info on book four, which I'm assuming is one of the other pack members we've already met.
Rob being the alpha of the pack had the most issues to overcome in regards to finding his mate. And his story was definitely more anxiety causing for me to read. Because despite the other brothers having road blocks in their relationships their road blocks felt a lot less solid. Whereas everything Rob was up against felt like at any moment it could all fall apart through no fault of their own.
I loved the twists and turns and each resolution made me happier than the one before. I only wish the nextbook was already out so I could continue the binge read I've been on for the last few days.
So as soon as I put Rough down I immediately ran off to Amazon and one clicked Wild. Then promptly shut myself away from the family for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
This book had all the yummy shifter insta love, forever mates stuff I was looking forward to. It follows on directly from the end of Audrey and Boyds story. And picks up the arrival of Boyd's brother, Colton and Audrey's sister, Marina for the wedding of Colton and Audrey.
While the book was focused soley on Marina and Colton and could be read as a standalone, I guess, it also advanced on the previous book perfectly. There was a little more relationship drama in this one. But it was all simple misunderstandings based on the speed things progressed.
I really am loving this series and obviously I am off to one click Feral.
I saw the cover reveal for Feral and it caught my attention. So while I was trying to figure out what to read next it popped into my head for some reason. So I jumped on GoodReads and checked out the series and liking the sound of Rough I went over and one clicked it.
Boyd was the overly confident, charming man whore of the rodeo circuit who accidentally comes across Audrey, who's filling in for the doctor for the evening. Now the thing I love about these shifter books is the insta love and the absolute certainty in the relationship.
This book had all of that, along with a growling hero who knew exactly what he wanted. And even though this was insta love there was a good a story and both characters had enough depth to make me emotionally invested in their story and relationship.
Now
I am off to read Wild.
