My Review

What a wonderful new world created by Mardi Maxwell.  Zarronia is feared throughout the universe for their fighting skills and defending those that need them.  What a better way to try to defeat them, than try to wipe out the one thing they need most…..their women.

The Zarronians have been looking for years for a way to survive.  When their salvation comes in the form of those that hurt them the most, bitterness ensues.  

Valan never thought that he would have to bond with the one species that hurt their people the most.  When he is forced to accept a mate, he is less than thrilled and makes sure she knows it.

Lia never thought her life could get any worse than having to deal with her father.  Then she went to bed one night and learned it could.  

Funny thing about Fate is that she knows what she is doing.  It takes awhile for Valan and Lia o come to terms with their feelings and situation, but when they do, the love shines through.

Synopsis

A Warrior with a Grudge…

At thirty-one Valan Erikson is a fierce and relentless warrior. He’s never lost a battle but he’s losing the war with the mating fever raging in his body. He’s accepted that his death is imminent until he’s told a compatible race of females has been found. When he discovers they’re Wrothian he refuses to take one as a mate until the Council threatens to strip him of his warrior status.

A Female Who Wants to Escape Her Fate…

Lia ad-San’s sire has arranged to trade her to, Gorm ad-Jai, a man she despises. Before she can escape she’s abducted by a fierce warrior. Unaware that her sire caused the deaths of the Zarronian females, including Valan’s mother and twin sister, she reveals her identity and demands to be freed.

A Complication They Didn’t Expect…

Enraged to be bonded to the daughter of his most hated enemy, Valan treats Lia as a prisoner rather than a beloved bondmate. When the Zarronians learn her identity they demand she be punished for her sire’s war crimes. Valan realizes too late that he’s endangered his mate’s life. The fever they share will keep them together but only love can make them want each other.

About the Author

I love the quirky and the unique. I believe in UFOs, ghosts, and that we have a moon station on the dark side of the moon. lol I have a wonderful son and DIL who have been kind enough (after much badgering and hinting around) to give me three lovely grandchildren. I’m a very young grandma 😉

I’ve loved reading since I was a little girl although just about every book I ever read I rewrote in my mind. After a while I decided to just start writing my own books. My best friend dared me to send one in, so I did and to my surprise it was accepted.

I love books that make you laugh, cry, sit on the edge of your chair in fear that the couple won’t work it out, and then finally cheer for them when they do. I’m a true believer in a happy ending and won’t read a book or watch a movie that ends any other way.

I write every day but I always find time to spend with my family and friends as well as my hobbies (cooking, gardening, traveling, and ceramics).

My personal motto is “Regret is a wasted emotion.” Live well and happy reading.

My Review

It is said that dogs have a good sense of character.  Who know that one could be a Yenta too!  Atlas knew the minute he sniffed her that he was going to adopt Beth.  I know what you are saying, a dog adopting a person?  Well let’s just say he knew she would be perfect for his owner, Rylan.  Atlas is a Great Dane who is definitely a force of nature that is as much of a main character of this story than Beth and Rylan.  True, this is the love story between the two humans.  But, if it weren’t for the antics of the big dog, Rylan might have missed  a good thing in Beth.  

I have been waiting for the then Barefoot book for a while, and this book was well worth the wait.

Synopsis

No One Expects a Curveball

For Rylan Cates, the gloriously sunny beachside town of Barefoot William may be home, but the pro baseball player needs to focus on spring training. Hiring a personal assistant to keep him and his four dogs organized for the next eight weeks is the first step—and Beth Avery is the perfect pinch hitter.

Beth is still looking for her place in the world, and a couple months caring for Rylan’s two dachshunds, his golden retriever, and a Great Dane named Atlas should shore up her finances before she moves on. Except it’s Atlas who won’t budge, pushing her toward tanned, scruffy, sexy Rylan every chance he gets. One more strike and she’s calling the dog out—unless she and Rylan admit that the attraction they’re feeling is a game-winning grand slam…

My Review

As I started reading this book, I have to admit I wasn’t hooked. It wasn’t until Henry walked into the Hole that the story really picked up, and at that point, I could not put down my Kindle. As you read this book, please make sure you have a box of tissues, a hanky or two, or at least your shirt sleeve. There were times I didn’t just tear up, I found the tears rolling down my face. This is an extremely touching story that centers around Henry and the 3 relationships he has over a period of time. I laughed, God knows I cried, and I loved.

There book is actually a spin off the Needing Moore Series.  It is a stand alone book but all the characters from The Needing Moore Series are here.  If they are as touching and can hook me into it, then I can’t wait to read them too.

One thing I am wondering, is Edwin getting a book?

My Review

Yield is the final book the Legal Affairs trilogy of Cal and Macy’s story.  This is the book we find out why Macy is the way she is.  You will cry.  I know I did.  I hurt for her.  I hurt for Cal.  When Macy pushes Cal away, he gives her some space, but never goes far.  His love for her is so deep, that you have no choice but to fall in love with him, if you haven’t already.  Including Macy.  He is her rock.  

This conclusion to the story of Macy and Cal, will tear you apart then slowly build you back up.  And in the end, you will want to read the story of Macy and Cal all over again. 

Synopsis

Yield (verb): to surrender or submit (oneself) to another

Macy Carrington is broken. The strong, beautiful woman that I’ve unwittingly fallen in love with is all kinds of broken from a secret that she has carried for far too long.

A secret so dark, she has gone to great lengths to protect it.

A secret that I’m terrified will one day rip her away from me.

The only time Macy frees herself from the darkness is when she is naked and in my arms. When I am deep inside her body, there is nothing she fears. When she wraps herself around me, she is at peace.

If she would only yield to me completely, I know I can set her free.
