This is the second book in the Rubicon International Series and it's just as exciting and sexy as the first book. We have Lars, the European location co-owner of Rubicon, an International Espionage Company. He's lived a very long time and no longer believes he'll have his forever mate and acts accordingly with the women. He's presently working a case where his goal is to kill a man who is one of the high ups in the heroin trade. While casing him out in a casino in Monte Carlo he sees the mans companion, whom he believes is a hooker or the mans current girlfriend. He later finds out her name is Tamara, and he is instantly attracted to her; like strong thoughts of a sexual nature. He tells himself he has to keep his eye on his goal. Later, after someone tries to kill him, he learns that the man has already been killed and they think it was him. Read what happens when due to dangerous circumstances he saves her life and now feels he has to keep her safe. They both are keeping secrets from each other but meanwhile they can't seem to keep away from each other. Find out what and why Tamara is keeping her secrets, and unknown to both of them, is in a way connected to Rubicon. I can't wait for the author to write the next book in the series, as Rubicon is filled with very interesting people and stories. After all it and it's owners have been around for over 200 years.

My reveiw of Ann Gimpel's "Garen" Rubicon International Book 1
This authors wide range of story telling is amazing; I never know what I'm going to be reading about when I pick up when of her books. This story is set against a background of an espionage agency, with all the danger and secrets that it entails. But the part I really liked best was the "no I'm not going there" attitude of both the hero, Garen, and heroine, Miranda. Garen is head of the American Rubicon International section of the company and Miranda is an agent, and the rules say that working together means no entanglements. They both are keeping secrets from each other the most important one being their heart stopping attraction for each other. Amongst the danger there is also humor, but the most glaring point to me of the story is the beautiful love story in the making. Once they admit it to themselves and each other, their love is all encompassing and full of passion. If you love paranormal romance with danger and a touch of humor, you have to get this book. I'm now on to the next in the series, "Lars". Be advised that the stories are stand alones but who doesn't want a good book to continue in one shape or another?

Erika’s spent her entire post-graduate career searching for it. The elusive dragon stronghold her archaeologist professors scoffed at as being only a myth. Now she has the perfect team and has led them into the deepest reaches of the Sumatran jungle. At the edge of the discovery of the century, she’s finally about to prove to everyone how wrong they were.
But when the seven intrepid explorers pass through the doors, they’re barely prepared for the conflict of lust versus logic they’re faced with on the inside. Ages-old magic lingers in the stronghold, dictating that they perform a ritual to awaken the long-slumbering beasts within. And beasts that beautiful only awaken to one thing: the unbridled release of humans in the throes of ecstasy.

Review of Tracy Cooper-Posey "Terra's Victory" the final book in her Destiny's Trinity Series
"Terra's Victory," the final book in the Destiny’s Trinities Series, is for a lack of a better word, EXPLOSIVE. We have all the Trinities coming together to fight off the evil that has began killing off humanity. If they are able to fulfill the prophecy they will save all, but we know how that can go sometimes. They do all they can, but the enemies numbers just keep growing. There are many choices to make and no matter how they try to make the right ones, they lose lives along the way. They fear not only for the future of man but if they win what will happen to each Trinity; will they feel the same for each other, will they keep their powers. Regardless of their own consequences, they must all work together to move forward and do all they can to destroy the evil. They will try to do this while trying to spare and save those humans that have been changed and controlled by the enemy. They discover new comrades, much needed to overcome and destroy the evil. You will not be able to put the book down during those last few chapters when the strategy and fighting has begin. I give away has little as possible in my reviews and this one was especially hard for there is so much excitement to share, but no I won't ruin it for you. Read about your favorite Trinities and see the what, where and how the things I've told you about occur. You know what that means, GET THE BOOK, you will not be sorry. WHAT!!!!! You haven't read any of Destiny's Trinities stories, well what the heck are you waiting for. Grab them, read them, review them. As for me, I will miss them, but I'll move forward as they did and move onto new adventures written by author Tracy Cooper Posey.

Ann Gimpel's Roman's Gold
The author has really given us a new twist on paranormal shifters in this story. I thought it was extremely well thought out and written. We have Kate who is not only a shifter, but a sex surrogate as well, yep that's what I said. We have Devon who is working undercover to trap Kate, as now all shifters are dealt with harshly, like in death harshly. Due to medical procedures done to certain members of the police force, Devon and many of his co-workers are now in danger as well. Both must now deal with these consequences and must now run for their lives. Kate works for the underground shifter organization trying to save as many shifters as possible and now that Devon is on the run joins them as well. That's it, I've already said too much. To find out the who, what and why you must pick up this terrific story and learn of a very different twist of the shifter world.
Review anuthor Laxmi Hariharan's new book in her Many Lives Series, "Taken"
This world, from the magnificent mind of author Laxmi Hariharan, is filled with amazing, colorful, explicit, feel it as if you were there real characters. The description of the cities, land, the way of life as its changed is very explicit. This dystopian type event has brought forth a new species and changes across the world, and is filled with detail, emotions, fears, and longings. The two main characters, Aria, a woman who intends to never give up no matter what the situation or consequences, and Jai, who can have everything but wants only to be a good man and do the right thing. Brought together, they feel an instant "something", but do all they can to deny it. Can two people, from what amounts to different species, ever trust each other. They both go their own way, still fighting this feeling they have. But fate has more in store for them, and they meet again. Can they and their "people" work together for the good of all, will they finally admit to themselves and each other of their true feelings. I LOVED this story, it's filled with so much emotion that you don't want to put it down till you get to that last page. If you love paranormal, dystopian stories filled with ups and downs, hate and love this book is for you. Check out Laxmi's page on Amazon to see her other amazing stories: https://www.amazon.com/Laxmi-Hariharan/e/B007M6E542/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1474227260&sr=1-2-ent

REVIEW FOR OPHELIA BELL'S "STONETREE TRILOGY"
The first story in the Trilogy is "Clawed" - The story concerns fables and how in this case they were true. We have a young girl, Emma, looking for answers concerning her suspected background, her missing father and the tales he told as she was growing up. Were the tales in fact true. She, along with her twin cousins, Jasper and Jade, decides to go searching for answers but what she finds is much more than she expected Now, as she discovers who and what she is, she must make some hard decisions concerning her destiny and the men, Gus and Julian, she has come to love. Will she follow her families destiny or her heart, or is there a third choice she can make. Pick up a copy and read one of Ophelia Bell's latest stories and maybe you will have second thoughts on those old wives tales you've heard before.
The second story is "Bitten" and now we have Jasper's story; the cousin of Emma and the brother of Jade. Jasper has in the distant past had a relationship that hurt him badly and now does not believe that he will find "real" love, that he will just be hurt again. What, or whom, he finds in this new world will make it hard for him to keep that belief. He and Jade are saved by Autumn and Gunner and his immediate attraction to the both of them confuses and scares him. But they are determined to show him he is wrong and will do what they have to. He must willing accept Autumn for her to bond and mate them both. Read this erotic and at times humorous story of what they all go through in trying to accomplish this; you never know Jasper may be two hard-headed to accept this world's fate.
The third story, "Nailed" and is Jada's story. She is use to the human world that she grew up in and is finding it hard to accept the role women have in this world. A world where women have the power. She wants a man who will take what he wants not because it's his duty. She has a lot to learn about what love and desire can accomplish. She finds she's attracted to two men, Sten and Orrick, both with their own beauty and desires, but feels that they don't want her for themselves but only for what she desires. Then she meets Aidan, whose been stripped of his family, home and has lost the woman he's loved forever. Her attraction for him is even stronger than for the other two. Can she show him he's worthy, can she really love and want all three. Read and see what happens to these four people, can she make them want her because it's her or will it be their duty. Oh my this is one hot story that you just have to read.
We have a BONUS in the Trilogy - "Solstice" in this we have more of Emma's story and what happens a year after meeting and bonding with her mates. They have returned to the Sanctuary, where Emma now lives with her family, including her mother the Queen. It is time of the Solstice celebration and the coronation of her becoming Queen. But little does she understand what that means. There's a surprise at the end, which I will not give away her, but it's an exciting one.

REVIEW OF Author Laxmi Hariharan's "FERAL"
The book is told by the young girl Maya, who has always felt as if though she didn't belong. Not to her family, her peers, her life. She confronts her mother and in anger leaves to the world they avoid in search of her "real family"; the world of humans. For Maya belongs to hybrid pack of werewolves. She leaves behind Luke, the one who loves her, in hopes of finding those who will be like her. Did her "mother" really find her or did she steal her away from a loving family. If she finds them will they accept her back, will she want to part of their lives, will she find someone to replace the love she ran away from. She will find more than she expected, a love that could have destroyed her. I don't do spoilers so all these questions can only be answered by reading the emotionally packed "Feral", a stand alone novella, the start of a new series by this author, the "Many Lives" series. If you like reading dystopian stories, this is a very different view of a changed world.
