Night Rebel Book 2

In the newest Night Rebel novel, set in New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress world, beautiful, daring vampire Veritas risks all to protect Ian...

Some promises are meant to be broken...

Veritas spent most of her life as a vampire Law Guardian. Now, she's about to break every rule by secretly hunting down the dark souls that were freed in order to save Ian. But the risks are high. For if she gets caught, she could lose her job. And catching the sinister creatures might cost Veritas her own life.

Some vows are forever...

Ian's memories might be fragmented, but this master vampire isn't about to be left behind by the woman who entranced him, bound herself to him, and then disappeared. So what if demons, other Law Guardians, and dangerous, otherworldly forces stand against them? Come hell or high water, Ian intends to remind Veritas of the burning passion between them, because she is the only person seared on his mind--and his soul...

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Been waiting WAY too long for this book and now that it has finally arrived and I have read it, I will admit it was SO worth the wait. WOW! Has to be hands down my favorite of the series. Shades of Wicked was my favorite from the whole Night Huntress World, but Wicked Bite just beat it. I love Ian and Veritas. They have become my favorite characters of the series. I have always loved Ian's character. Super hilarious, he was one I always loved to see when he appeared. You never knew what he was going to do. And Veritas took me by surprise. She showed up before but only gave us a small part of her. Now reading these books in her point of view, you get to know her and it is pretty cool. This book was just brilliant. Ian's memories are in shambles but he knows something is missing. Well, someone. And he won't stop until he finds her and remembers it all. Veritas is on a mission despite her broken heart of leaving Ian behind to protect him and because she believes he doesn't remember her. But with Ian's stubbornness, she finds him back in her life and together they team up to end Dagan for good. This book doesn't disappoint. I don't want to spoil, but I was satisfied with the events that went down. I was afraid things would be dragged out but it didn't. And we got some familiar faces and new information that I hope will just tell us there are more books to come after Ian and Veritas's story is complete. Which brings me to that cliffhanger. Things just got SUPER interesting. No idea what is gonna go down next, but I don't care cause Veritas and Ian are gonna figure it out together and probably kick some ass as they do it. Great story. Need the third book right now. Fingers crossed it won't take as long as this book took to get into my hands. Loved this!

Tahoe Dragon Mates Book 1: The Dragon's Choice by Jessie Donovan

Tahoe Dragon Mates Book 1

After Jose Santos's younger sister secretly enters them both into the yearly dragon lottery and they get selected, he begrudgingly agrees to participate. It means picking a human female from a giant room full of them and staying around just long enough to get her pregnant. However, when his dragon notices one female who keeps hiding behind a book, Jose has a new plan—win his fated mate, no matter what it takes.

Victoria Lewis prefers being home with a book and away from large crowds. But she desperately wants to study dragon-shifters at close range, so she musters up her courage to enter the dragon lottery. When she's selected as one of the potential candidates, she decides to accept her spot. After all, it's not as if the dragon-shifter will pick her—an introverted bookworm who prefers jeans and sweats to skirts or fancy clothes. Well, until he's standing right in front of her with flashing eyes and says he wants her.

As Jose tries to win his fated female, trouble stirs inside his clan. Will he be able to keep his mate with him forever? Or will the American Department of Dragon Affairs whisk her away to some other clan to protect her?

NOTE: This is a quick, steamy standalone story about fated mates and sexy dragon-shifters near Lake Tahoe in the USA. You don't have to read all my other dragon books to enjoy this one!

My Review: 5/5 Stars

I loved finally meeting an American Dragon clan! This short story was really great. While it connects and acknowledges the British clans, we finally get an insight to how different things are in the American clans. And Jose and Victoria's story was so sweet! Neither really wanted to be part of the dragon lottery, yet the moment Jose sees Victoria he knows she is his true mate. Victoria just wanted to learn more about dragon-shifters and when Jose picks her, she decides to take a chance and jump right into his world. They have a chance to learn more about one another and with a true mate story, you get to really see what happens when you meet the right person and just know they are the one for you. This story opens up more for the Tahoe Clan and I can't wait to see more stories from them! 

I received an ARC in an exchange for an honest review.

Innkeeper Chronicles Book 5: Sweep with Me by Ilona Andrews

Innkeeper Chronicles Book 5

A charming, short novella in the Innkeeper Chronicles, from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ilona Andrews.

Thank you for joining us at Gertrude Hunt, the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, during the Treaty Stay. As you know, we are honor-bound to accept all guests during this oldest of innkeeper holidays and we are expecting a dangerous guest. Or several. But have no fear. Your safety and comfort is our first priority. The inn and your hosts, Dina Demille and Sean Evans, will defend you at all costs. [But we hope we don’t have to.]

Every winter, Innkeepers look forward to celebrating their own special holiday, which commemorates the ancient treaty that united the very first Inns and established the rules that protect them, their intergalactic guests, and the very unaware/oblivious people of [planet] Earth. By tradition, the Innkeepers welcomed three guests: a warrior, a sage, and a pilgrim, but during the holiday, Innkeepers must open their doors to anyone who seeks lodging. Anyone.

All Dina hopes is that the guests and conduct themselves in a polite manner. But what’s a holiday without at least one disaster?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Loved coming back to the Innkeeper Chronicles! I specifically missed Dina and Sean. This was such a fun novella that picks up where One Fell Sweep ended. There is always excitement at Gertrude Hunt whether they want it or not. I love how interesting each guest can be. The species that appear are always so unique. This novella was full of humor and excitement. I really enjoyed it. And I of course enjoyed Dina and Sean working together now that Sean is officially an innkeeper with Dina. If you loved the other books in this series, this one won't disappoint. I hope to see more from this series one day!
