Pride Mates by Jennifer Ashley



Genre: Paranormal Romance; Shifters, Magic, Fae, Shifters Unbound
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Call of the wild. To most, they are animals -- even when in human form. They are to be collared and kept on the fringes of society, scorned because they are feared, hated for their extraordinary powers. And attorney Kim Fraser has to go right into the heart of their lair. It's her job to defend those in need. But there's absolutely nothing defenseless about Liam Morrissey. His soft Irish lilt and feline grace can't disguise his sheer strength. Nor can the silver chain at his throat, designed to control the aggression of his kind, completely reassure her that this man has been tamed. Yet when a feral shifter begins to stalk them both, Liam is the only one she trusts with her life. She'll let him claim her -- for her protection, for her pride, and for a passion that knows no bounds.

This is the first book in the Pride series. Kim is your no nonsense attorney, whom likes things check and double checked. But she’s in a little over her head when she takes on a case with shifters. She then meets Liam in hopes to get her client set free on the false charges up against him. Liam has his secrets but when it comes to Kim he can’t seem to keep his hands off her. This book is the beginning of Shifters Unbound series. It’s set in an alternative universe where shifters live on the outskirts. They are very discriminated against, such as they can’t even get cable or DSL. Let alone some places want even let them sit and have a cup of coffee. The story is very well written you can almost feel like it was all real. The characters are brilliant. I loved the interaction between Kim and Liam but also of Sean, Glory and the rest of the family. I really loved this story and can’t wait to read the next one in the series, Shifter Lovin'.

The Mad, Bad Duke by Jennifer Ashley


Genre: Historical Romance; 1800’s, Nvengaria
Sub Genre: Paranormal Romance; Magic, Demons, Mages
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Meagan Tavistock can easily see how Alexander earned the nickname Mad, Bad Duke. His deep blue eyes promise sinful pleasure and his rich voice intimates that as soon as they are skin to skin, he’ll fulfill desires she isn’t even aware of. When a love spell misses its intended target, Meagan can no longer resist the temptation...until the magic wears off, leaving the pair in a most compromising position. Their only option is a marriage that thrusts Meagan into a new world of high danger, dark secrets, and a passion so intense she can’t help wondering: Is it the lingering power of the spell or true love at last?

This is the second book in the Nvengaria series. It is the Meagan and Alexander’s story. Meagan goes with a friend to pick up a love spell for her friend so she can have an affair. But the spell instead brings Meagan and Alexander together. But there is more magic in play. Not including the intrigue and danger. I think I liked this book even more than the first book. There is so much going on but it flows so well together. Meagan is a great character who is strong and knows what she wants. Alexander has a few control issues as well as a secret of his own. This is one of those books that I couldn’t put down. I can’t wait to read the next book, Highlander Ever After.

Penelope & Prince Charming by Jennifer Ashley



Genre: Historical Romance; 1800’s, Nvengaria
Sub Genre: Paranormal Romance; Magic, Demons, Mages
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: The playboy prince. His blue eyes beguiled. His muscular form could have satisfied any fantasy. He had a delicious foreign accent—and to top it off, he was royalty! What woman would dare refuse the most sought-after lover in Europe? Miss Twice-a-Jilt Penelope Trask, that’s who. And, unfortunately for Damien, marrying Penelope was only way to inherit his kingdom. Good thing this enchantingly infuriating woman didn’t seem completely immune to his many charms. The passionate way she returned his kisses told Damien he wasn’t the only one head over heels. But wooing was difficult amid assassination attempts, wild magic, and desire so strong it threatened to overwhelm him every time they touched. Why had no one mentioned the road to happily-ever-after was so difficult?

This is the first book in the Nvengaria series. Penelope has had to jilt two men in the past after finding out what they really wanted out of marriage. Damien is trying to fulfill a prophecy and help to save his kingdom. What the two aren’t prepared for is falling in love. The story is a great weaving of both historical storytelling and an added paranormal magical twist. The world is well built. The characters you can’t help but to fall in love with. Even the when you think that you know where the story was going it changed. I really enjoyed this story and am looking forward to reading the next book in the series, The Mad, Bad Duke.
