Angel's review:
A Real Alpha by Sienna Sway
Connor, Oscar, and Roscoe are absolutely precious together. Connor has escaped from his abusive ex, and as he's fleeing he stumbles into Oscar's shop. As soon as Oscar lays his eyes on the man and his baby, he knows he has to help them. He just never thought that they would be fated to be his.
The pacing of this story was fantastic! I liked how things progressed between Oscar and Connor, and I adored how supportive and welcoming Oscar was of Connor. He took his cues from the other man, and I thought that was really sweet of him.
Ranch Down by JP Sayle
Oh my goodness Trey and Cassidy's story can set your device on fire. There is a lot of steam in this story, I would've preferred there to be a little less... However! It wasn't all steam, we got to see Trey running his bar with his best friend Kendrick, along with seeing Cassidy taking care of his little family on the ranch he works on. His little family consisting of chicks and a little pig, and now two pups. This story was quite cute and I am very excited for the series that this short story is apart of to come out!
The Barghest Bond by Hawke Oakley
Bennett and Peter's story has been my favorite so far! Peter is down on his luck wondering why he can't seem to keep a stable relationship, in order to get answers he goes to get a tarot reading done, but once he's there he spots something nobody else sees...
Bennett is a Barghest which means he can shift into his larger canine form or be a human, he also has premonitions too. When he realizes Peter can see him in his canine form when no one is supposed to be able to see him, he knows Peter is special. Together they figure out just how special they are to each other. This is such an adorable story! I wanted more of Peter and Bennett, I've never read about a Barghest before and I found the whole concept to be exceptionally unique. I also love fated mates and it was done really well here! P.S. Where can I find a puppy cafe? Cause I want to go to one!
Rescuing His Mate by Minerva Howe
Des and Alistair's story was difficult for me to get into, the pacing of the story was a bit off for me. This starts with these two men being at odds with each other, then Alistair gets kidnapped, but is immediately rescued.. and then the story just flat lines for me, unfortunately. I think the pacing would've felt better if things weren't resolved as quickly and there was more time to develop those scenes more. However, I did like Reed's character and once we got to see more of Des and Alistair together I found them to be a good pair.
Tor and the Turtle by Vinni George
I am so happy Aitor and Ikal got their own story. When they were mentioned in Vinni's Land and Sea series I wanted to know more about them, and in this story I got just that! Aitor and Ikal has had a difficult time trying to conceive, no matter what they do nothing works.. Deciding that they need a break from their regimented routine they go on vacation to reconnect with each other without the pressure of cycles and what time works best to conceive... And that vacation changes everything.
Aitor and Ikal's family is so adorable! I don't want to put any spoilers but I loved how their family grew, they had such a lovely happily ever after!!
Noble's Omega by Giovanna Reaves
I found Noble and Jersey's story to be so unique and very well written! The characters themselves were full of life, each one had their own characteristics that set them apart from the others, and their dialogue throughout the story was fantastic! I have not read very many books featuring dinosaur shifters, and I had not ever read one about a mosasaurs shifter before, until this story.
I loved the creativity this author had when it came to creating this world the characters live in, along with creating the characters themselves. I appreciated that Noble and Jersey didn't rush into things, they took their time to get to know one another gradually overtime, which I really enjoyed. JaMari is such an adorable little girl, and she's a matchmaker too! Her, Jersey, and Noble make up such a beautiful family, and their new addition with just add to their family unit. Overall a wonderful story!
Knotting Hearts is available as an ebook for a limited time.
