Mom of two rockin' girls, Reader of everything, Author of The Dragon Guards series and many more surprises to come!

I am a sarcastic,sometimes foul-mouthed, not afraid to drink a beer, always southern woman with 2 of the most amazing teenage daughters,
a menagerie of animals and a voracious appetite for reading who recently decided to write the storied running through her brain. I read my first book, Dr Suess' Cat in The Hat by myself at 4 and was hooked.
I believe a good book along with shoes, makeup and purses will never let a girl down and that all heroes of all the books
I have ever read or will ever write pale in comparison to my daddy! I am a sucker for a happy ending and love some hot sweaty sex with a healthy dose of romance.
I am still working on my story but believe it will contain all of the above with as much SPICE as I can work into it. CHEERS!

REVIEW
I have read previously all but one of these books so I am adding review for every single one

Hades Halo by Julia Mills
The King of Hell has an angel and she goes by the name of Hope.
She comes into his underground bar but why? Why would the gods send her here? Well Hades is determined to find out and well he does like to play with his food.
Hope asks him how he knows her name and his response? Well I am not about to tell you that. But Hades now must protect this Angel although she is very confused by her commanders orders and after talking to her sisters she is even more confused.
This is one hot, sexy, and somewhat funny read.

A Wolf's Hunger - Sheba by A.K. Michaels
Oh, my goodness what a treat this book was. For anyone who has read the A Wolf's Hunger books, you know the Hunger hits when an Alpha finds their soul mate who almost always is in danger.
Well, hang on to your Kindle because we get one exciting story here. Sheba and Fox are going to take us all on a journey, unlike anything you have read. I totally enjoyed this one, and I hate to say it, but I think so far it's the best one yet.

Prince Prelude - Legends by Claudy Conn
In this book we have Julian Talbot who is engaged to Maxine of Reigate.
Julian is a Druid and he is aware of what he is.
Maxine is also a druid and is unaware of what she is but as the story unfolds she is learning what she truly is and what powers she holds.
They are destined to be together and more than that they are soul mates. However there is someone who wishes to break them apart and that is Lamia Dulaine aka The Beast . She has fallen hard for Julian Talbot and although she tries many ways to get him to notice her nothing works. Julian has only Maxine in his heart. Why is Lamia called the Beast? Well you need simply read this story to find out :)
And we also have Breslyn Prince of Dagda .You remember Breslyn right? The wonderful sexy Prince of the Fae from Prince in the Mist .. Well he has been sent by the Queen to keep watch on these humans. But
can he stop at just watching? Or will he intervene for his precious human race?
Julian and Maxine are a love undying .This book is Erotic, Romantic and just a pleasure to read I actually went back and re-read it because I kept thinking I missed something :)

Karma Inc. by Melanie James
If you have ever read the Literal Leigh series by this author you will know why it’s a laughing pee your pants kind of book. In this book, we get Kelly and Esmeralda who decided to open a new business together. What better than making sure Karma gets a little shove at whom she needs to aim her fury at? However, things do not always go as they seem and Kelly now faces charges by none of other than the Witches Union. Can Gertie, Marie, and Esmeralda get her out of the mess she is in? Add many of the other characters and Hunters parents and you get one heck of a big ole mess.
Absolutely loved this book. Esmeralda doesn’t have a lot of friends but she is a good one to Kelly. These two are hilarious. So if you like a good paranormal but with some comedy added then this I highly recommend to you.

Enchanted in Time by Nikki Lynn Barrette
This was an adorable read. We have an elderly author who needs a caretaker, then it's decided she will become a ghost writer and the mystery begins.

Desperately Seeking 69 by Jennifer Theriot writing as JD. Frettier
This book was hilarious, raunchy and I only pray I can come back this way when I pass. Bonnie and Peter have been together since meeting back during Woodstock. Through a life of wild and crazy, they are now older and well who knows if they are wiser? Bonnie has always lived life how she wants and that is not something that makes her very snobby daughter too happy. One day the unthinkable happens but Bonnie is taken on the journey of her life.
This is a good, well-written short story with love, laughter, and raunchiness all in one. I enjoyed it very much.

Scary Modsters by Diane Rinella
I read and reviewed this book in a previous box set.
Rosalyn is head over heals for dead rocker Peter Lane and her Ouija board is trying to tell her something. While out with her girlfriends she meets Niles’s and although they aren't totally compatible he is a nice enough guy but she wants Peter. Rosalyn and Nile's figure out that Peter Lane was murdered and take it among themselves to figure it out.
Can Niles finally win Rosalyn's heart? Can they help the now dead Peter Lane?
Rosalyn is way into the old music and Niles well he needs to get onboard or get lost.


Bitten by Nicole Garcia
I did the audible version of this book and here is my review.
"Come on in for a sip "
Would you listen to Bitten: A Club Blood Erotic Short #1 again? Why?
Yes I would. I like vampire stories and this one puts a little twist on things as it's females.
What did you like best about this story?
That Caressa finally sees she is worth love and so much more.
Have you listened to any of Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have never listened to these narrators and I have to say I enjoyed their performance.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Almost near the end after Noah is transformed. At first he is very angry and then he realizes what has happened.

Hot Decadent Rising by Candice Stauffer
HOT is just that HOT !!!!!!!!! and receives 5 stars from me !!!
WOW and I didn't think I could be anymore pulled in to this series and Candice brings on the Hotness of Eli the pack leader and loving werewolf.. Eli and Kara have a lot of struggles and heartbreak but in the end Love conquers all... I loved reading about all the others from the previous series also and CAN not wait for the next book !!!!
I suggest that you start off this series the right way and read the first book in this series although this can be read as a stand alone Why miss out on the sexiness!

A phenomenal boxed set written by some extremely talented authors. Some who are new to me....but whose works I will be looking forward to reading more of. One of my favorites is Enchanted In Time by Nikki Lynn Barrett.
Roxanne Ferris is trying to work through a tragedy and put her past behind, but her lingering guilt is making that difficult. Her friend Renee offers her a summer position as caretaker for 93 year old Claudette Grayson who is quite near the end of her life. Claudette is also a best selling author of classic fiction.

A short while into the summer, Claudette tells Roxanne that she wants to write one more story before she dies and she wants Roxanne to help, and to finish the story if she were to die before it is finished. Then....Roxanne begins to hear music and see a presence. She is determined to make sure the story is completed before Claudette passes ..... to give her peace.

This is truly an "Enchanting" story that pulls at your heart strings. Another great must read by Nikki Lynn Barrett.

Let yourself be taken away by each of these stories...all different....all connected by the Magic!! <3

Enchanted in Time by Nikki Lynn Barrett

Roxanne Ferris takes a job as the caretaker for Claudette Grayson, the best selling author of classic fiction who is 93 years old and doesn't appear to have long to live. Roxanne's friend Renee has given her this chance as she knows how she is struggling to get through her past.

Roxanne is trying to escape her past and move on from it but the guilt hangs over her keeping her from being happy. Claudette recognizes Roxanne as an old-soul and asks her to help her with one last story and top-secret project on the love story of Phillip and Margaret.

Yet, Roxanne discovers how the story fits into Claudette's own life and when Roxanne begins to see and hear things she will do all she can to help Claudette discover the truth before she passes away.

This book brought me to tears so many times as a mother. I can't imagine the pain that Roxanne must feel and it tore at me. Towards the end of the book there was a scene that just did me in and I was so happy that Roxanne was given a chance at finding a sense of happiness and closure.

Will update review as I get through the books

Wolf's Hunger Sheba - Sheba is a bit of a rebel, she is one of the first ever female Alphas and she fought tooth and claw to get there. But when the dang Hunger takes her and nothing satisfies her craving, can she keep control of her pack?

When the dreams about a Lion start, she really thinks she is losing the plot! With renegades knocking on her door she really doesn't have time to go find her mate but a girls got to do what a girls gotta do!!!!

A Wolf's Hunger is a great series and I love all the differing authors vibes whilst staying within the same world. Nice to have a girl in charge too!!!

LOVE THIS COLLECTION !!!
Title: Magic Unleashed
Author: Multiple
Designation: Paranormal/Supernatural/Fantasy Romance
Reading Platform: Kindle Edition
My Rating: FIVE DELIGHTFULLY MAGICAL STARS*****
Oh my! I love, love, love this collection! This set may very well be my favorite this year... at least, so far. lol... Yeah, yeah, every new set is my favorite but what else is there to say except they just keep getting better and better! I love romance and adore anything supernatural/paranormal or fantasy, so when I can get it all in one great collection, I'm in heaven! Magic Unleashed includes nine captivating stories written by nine exceptionally talented authors and you get them all for less than the price of a single book! I'm retired but still passionate about reading, and like most people, I have to manage my money carefully. I've found buying box sets and anthologies is one of the best ways to get the most bang for my buck, especially when the set includes several of my favorite authors like A.K. Michaels, Melanie James, and Julia Mills. I've been following Julia Mills and A.K. Michaels since their very first release and I'm completely addicted to Melanie James and her wacky characters and side-splitting humor so naturally, my three favorites from this set are Sadie's Halo, the first in an exciting new series by Mills, and Sheba which is a fabulous and completely new addition to the captivating Highland Wolf Clan Series by Michaels, and last, but not least, Karma, Inc which is the first book in an outrageously funny series by James. If you've never read Mills, Michaels, or James' work, you've missed a real treat. I'd pay, and have paid, a heck of a lot more than 99 pennies for just one story from either of these authors. Another advantage of purchasing a collection like this is I get to try new-to-me authors without breaking the bank. I always find several to add to my favorites list and this time was no exception. I'm a real stickler about writing reviews and will never write a review until I've read the entire book, which means I've read every single story in this collection and loved them all. I found all the stories to be imaginative, well-crafted and beautifully written. Were they perfect? No, but you definitely get your money's worth and a whole lot more! And fyi, these are not chapters, excerpts or teasers but complete standalone stories. A few of the stories are not new and have been previously published by the author. Several of the stories are part of an ongoing series but each can be read as a standalone with a beginning, middle, and end. Did I like this collection? No, I loved it! Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Will I be reading stories by these authors again? You bet! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Hours of fabulous entertainment, awesome reads, and an incredible bargain!

Sheba: a wolf's hunger
I really liked that Sheba was the first female alpha in this group of stories. Due to this miracle she is afraid the pack will see her as weak when she starts to experience weird hunger , feelings and vision. Add in a bunch of rouges and her already filled plate is overflowing. Fox is a Lion, a loner and moving from place to place works for him, when he is attacked by rouges he questions alerting the area alpha or just moving on. Interspecies mating's are not readily excepted but a soul mate can not be denied. Each story in this series is interesting, entertaining and has great characters. Seeing how the characters deal with the "Hunger" myth and the quest to find their soul mate is always exciting. When it happens to a supporting character from one of the stories it makes it more fun. Fox and Sheba were mentioned in a previous story and I am glad I got to see how they came together.
I volunteered to read this story for my honest opinion.

Karma Inc.
If you have read the Leigh series you know this one is going to be just as fun. Be prepared to laugh hard, shake your head and have a good time. The characters you love, Gertie, Esmerelda and Kelly are at it again , be prepared to be entertained. Warning, you may not be able to get the smile off of your face. :)

9 steamy paranormal love stories from 9 different Authors some may be new to you and others are old friends. I'm reviewing Sheba a wolf's Hunger: Sheba has become the first female Alpha of the Dark Moon pack; she fought tooth and nail to take her father's place after he was murdered by rogues. Sheba has her hand full with renegades and rogues attacking her pack and others packs in the area. Now she has her hands full to keep her pack calm and safe with the help of her best friend and powerful Beta Raylon. Raylon has noticed his Alpha and friend has been acting restless, on edge and extremely hungry. Then the healer gives her a piece of news that she had the Alphas hunger and her mate is near and she needs to let her wolf find him soon before she goes mad. Sheba is not happy with this news and feels she has no time for a mate and must focus on being Alpha. Sheba gives in to her wolf and is shocked when she finds her mate and almost looses him as soon as she finds him. You will have to read and find out if Sheba finds her mate in time or is she left to go mad.

Review for Sheba by A.K. Michael's

This book is well written, smooth flowing and easy to read. The author does a great job portraying the characters and their emotions. Once I started the book, i couldn't put it down. It kept mecaptivated from the first page through the last.

In the world of Shifters, it is unheard of for their to be an Alpha leading a wolf pack, who is female. Upon her father's death, Sheba takes over as Alpha. It will not bean easy task to gain the support and trust of the pack. To make matters even more complicated, she has this hunger that wont be satiated.

If you like shifter books you should really give this book a try.

I'll update each book as I read them.

Sheeba by AK Michaels

This was another good story by the queen of paranormal stories. It was a pleasure to read about a female pack alpha. Sheena has found a hunger like never before and she needs to find her mate. She races against time with her Beta Ray, until they find Fox the lion shifter.
Sheena has made her place in the pack and she has to keep that place when she mates with Fox. This book has all of those paranormal quirks that you would expect from a paranormal romance, and kif you've read any of the other hunger books you'll know the idea.
I really enjoyed this book and I hope this isn't the end of this series.

This compilation of books was one of the best collections I have ever read. One of my absolute favourites was Sheba, A Wolf's Hunger by A.K. Michaels. At long last, we finally get a female Alpha with bite and sass. Sheba is a tough, no nonesense pack leader who has succumbed to the Hunger. Her mate is sexy, strong and just as tough. Loved these two together. Went through this book in a heartbeat. Dear author you know your shifters and I know exactly where to look for my next read fix, as long as it has by A.K. Michaels, I definitely will not complain.

9 Magical Stories by 9 amazing authors !

Sheba by AK Michaels
Really enjoyed this book. I was hooked from beginning to end.

Sheba is the first female alpha of the Dark Moon Pack. She's worked really hard to keep her position in the pack, and isn't about to let some unknown hunger get in her way. With the threat of rogues on pack land she can't afford to show any weakness..

Her only cure is her soul mate. Will she find him before it's too late? Can she protect her pack from the rogues?

A Wolfs Hunger: Sheba by A K Michaels
4*
Not all Alphas are male
What happens when you've fought for the right to be the first female Alpha and fate decides to send you a mate ?
When the Hunger strikes her, Sheba is shocked to find out what it means and is certainly not willing to take on a mate, not when she's worked so hard to gain her position, what if her potential mate can't accept her Alpha role ? then she'll send him packing that's what, fate be dammed even if it means her sanity !
But once she meets Fox can Sheba really fight what the goddess has sent her ?
The way in which Sheba and Fox meet for the first time leaves you in no doubt about his capabilities. An unusual pairing but most defiantly a perfect match and the description of Fox's shifter side conjures a breathtaking image.
I'm loving this multi-author series.
The Wolfs Hunger - it can't be stopped

Hades Halo by Julia Mills
5*
Hades has never been so HOT and I don't mean, the burning in the fires of hell, kind of hot !
The saying goes, every girl loves a bad boy and the king of Hell has got to be the ultimate bad boy, so grab a seat and warm yourself with this sizzling story.

ENCHANTED IN TIME by Nikki Lynn Barrett

This was an interesting tale with a supernatural twist. When Roxanne becomes a carer to author Claudette she couldn't possibly have guessed the outcome to story she was about to not only write but live.

Hades Halo by Julia Mills


A Wolf's Hunger - Sheba by A.K. Michaels - 5Stars

This book starts out with a female alpha that will blow your socks off from the start. You will be welcomed into the fold and engaged to finish the book to find the ending. Lots of twists you do not see coming, but the author did rush the recovery and battle that goes on during the "mating and saving of the fated mate." Now, this author does not leave you hanging about the future of our heroes. She gives you a happy ending that is mind boggling..

If you've never read any of the books by the authors in this anthology then you have really been missing out!! One of the books is Sheba which is an addition to the a wolf's hunger series. This story captured me from the very beginning, Sheba is one kick ass female alpha and I loved everything about her. In true A.K.Michaels style the story was full of action with plenty of twists and turns that you just do not see coming. I highly recommend Magic Unleashed for this story alone and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!

Aargh

I've only started this anthology, in fact at the moment I'm on the second page of book one. There is already a big typo - since when are window coverings called "shudders" I was taught the spelling is "shutters". Not sure if I want to continue reading. Where are these authors proof readers!!!
