Synopsis

He was just a dream, right?

When I was young, I often dreamt of an alpha boy. With him I belonged. I was important. Loved. We were going to marry and be together. Once I actually figured out how to get to him.

But that was years ago and the foolish fantasies of a lonely teenager. Parallel worlds were only a theory. Alpha males were assholes who want to get their way. Soulmates were just stories for children.

Then everything changed.

One morning I woke up on a park bench unable to remember my name or how I got there.

There was something not quite right about this place–and clearly I don’t belong here.

Then I saw him. The man of my dreams. My soulmate.

But we’re not teenagers anymore. Wes moved on, and has a successful career, a husband, and a pack. Whatever that was.

Still, the connection between us is undeniable and I fall hard for him and his pack. Especially his hunky omega husband and the delicious head of a biotech company.

As much as I’d like to stay here, the gaps in my memory threaten our happiness. How did I get to a parallel world and will someone come after me for it?

If they do, how much will it break me to have to leave Wes again?

A love that spans the universe. A second chance at romance. A secret she can't remember that could tear them apart. Again.

Dream Girl is a why choose omegaverse fated mates portal romance with a mathematician FMC from our world, the alpha of her literal dreams, a giant teddy-bear of a male omega, growly alpha packmates, a beta police officer, and a childhood love that spans the universe. This is book one of the Into the Parallel Omegaverse trilogy, which is ultimately m/m/m/m/f/m. Books One and Two end on cliffhangers with an HEA for Grace and her guys in Book Three.

Welcome to the Parallel Omegaverse. Because dreams aren’t real—until they are.

Note: This is Grace's story (Verity's rich big sister). It takes place before the HockeyVerse series and you do not have to read them to enjoy this trilogy.

My Review

I received Dream Girl in return for an honest review from the author. 

I loved Grace right from the start she's the perfect character to be tossed into a parallel world that just happens to be the same place her dream guy Wes lives. He's already living in a pack and even has his own omega but instead of Grace creating issues with the pack Evan welcomes her with open arms. Evan is my favorite he's wonderful and I just loved his character. I also loved Jett and Spencer but Brennan still has some growing to do. 

Omegavers stories are some of my favorite and this one was one of the best. The characters are easy to connect with you can't help cheering them on through the story even Brennan. The story is captivating right from the start it was easy to get lost in Grace's story and I couldn't put it down. The author has done a beautiful job creating a story that captures the heart as well as the imagination. 

This isn't my first book by the author so I had some high expectations as I've loved all of the prior books that I've read. This one though has exceeded my expectations and set the bar to a whole new level. I ended up devouring over the weekend and loving every moment of it and I think if I could I would have tossed my kindle at the wall as this one ends in a huge cliffhanger. Totally worth the book hangover I'm now having. I'm just a tad bit obsessed and can't wait to get the next one in my grasp.

Synopsis

Code blue in the ER. That's how I end up in his hospital. In my brother's best friend's care.

Dr. Blake Morrison starred in every fantasy I’ve had since sixteen. Now he’s the only one who believes something’s truly wrong with me—the only one who can save me.

But with each passing day, each failed diagnosis, I see him changing. The brilliant, controlled doctor is becoming something else. Something darker. More possessive.

"These symptoms aren't random," he growls. “I think someone's hurting you deliberately. And when I find them..." His fingers clench. "They'll learn exactly how much damage a doctor can do."

His touch sets my heart monitor racing, and what's growing between us is more dangerous than any symptom. More forbidden than any diagnosis.

But as my mysterious illness worsens, will the man who’s saved countless lives lose the only one he can’t live without?

My Review

I received Crash in return for an honest review from author. 

When Tessa ends up in the ER it draws the attention of her brothers best friend and brings him back into her life. Determined to figure out at all costs why she's sick. Blake has knows that he can't have any relationship with Tessa but sometimes it's hard to fight the chemistry that's had years to grow. 

I just love Blake so much he's a little broken but all the best love interests are and Tessa is perfect for him. I love our girl Tessa she's such a sweetheart just trying to live the hand she's dealt. We are given a little insight into the rest of the rest of the Sinners and Saints crew which happen to include Tessa's brother. I loved all of our characters in the story but Blake hands down was my favorite. 

I devoured Crash in just one afternoon it was beautifully written and I was hooked by the end of the first chapter. I was captivated right from the start and loved it all every page till the very last. The characters are easy to connect with you can't help cheering them on through the story. I absolutely loved every moment and can't wait for the next one in the series. This may be my favorite book of the authors but they are all fantastic.

Synopsis

Sydney “F*cking” Sinclair

One last time. I just needed to see him one final time before I left Bellemere University for good. At least that’s what I told myself. This way, I’d be left with one last happy memory. Competitive figure skating was all I ever wanted, until I met Lucien Morrow. I’d only ever had one dream, but from the moment I saw him skate, he became my whole world and my dream was siphoned of life. It should have been easy to let my obsession simmer into nothingness. Boys were distractions, after all, and I couldn’t afford those if I was going to be a champion figure skater. But in the end, none of it mattered. I was a goner the moment I laid eyes on him. Now, I’ve officially been kicked off my collegiate figure skating team, lost my funding and my coach, and am moving back home. There’s nothing left for me here, except him.

Until everything falls apart and I realize he’s nothing like I imagined—he’s far worse. Now that he knows who I am, a game ensues to see how far I’ll go to have him. It’s my last night here, and I have nothing to lose but my virginity. So, if the question is how far am I willing to go, the answer is to the depths of hell.

Lucien “Morningstar” Morrow

I’ve had a little stalker for months now. An interesting distraction from my depraved thoughts to say the least. So imagine my surprise when I find her at one of my hockey games, and even more so when I feel just as possessive of her as she apparently is of me. There’s something about her eyes, like cracked ice. They mirror her soul flawlessly, a frigid wasteland of nothingness that I intend to melt. It takes a unique person to be drawn to my particular brand of crazy. I’ll have to see just how crazy my new toy can be. Stalkers love to play games; I wonder if she’ll play with me?

My Review

I received Cracked Ice in return for an honest review from the author. 

I loved Sydney and Lucien each one is a little broken and has their own unique issues but they are just what the other needs. I don't have any triggers and went into this without any expectations other than a dark hockey why choose romance. Highly recommend checking them because this is a dark romance. I really love a dual pov as we get to see into both of their sides and I feel that allows me to connect better with the characters. I love a unhinged love interest and Lucien was just everything I could have hoped for. 

I went into Cracked Ice with no expectations other than a dark why choose romance and it doesn't disappoint. The characters are fantastic and the story is captivating from start to finish I couldn't put it down. The author is a beautiful storyteller with characters you can't help cheering on and falling in love with. 

This is my first book by the author and I'm obsessed it was everything I could have wanted in a dark hockey story. I spent the day devouring their story and I admit that I got a little teary eyed when it ended. I just wasn't ready to say goodbye yet and I can't wait to get my hands on the next one.I may be stuck in a touch of a book hangover as this one was just so perfectly done.

Synopsis

I wasn’t created to love—only to destroy. But fate doesn’t ask permission.

I wake to a world in chaos, the taste of stardust on my tongue and fragments of galaxies burning behind my eyes.

No name. No past. No idea how I came to be here.

In the ruins of a shattered battlefield, they find me wrapped in s
moke and splattered with blood that isn’t mine—each of them desperate to decipher who I am and why I’ve been thrust into their war.

They claim to be kings of this world, with the power to protect me.

A wraith who moves like smoke but feels like fire, igniting sparks that dance beneath my skin.

A fae with a silver tongue and lips I ache to trust.

A vampire who drinks desire like wine and vows to ruin me sweetly.

And a shape-shifting predator whose hungry gaze sets my pulse racing, hinting at danger and surrender—if I want it.

They circle me like wolves, drawn to a power and vulnerability they can’t resist. Their heated glances and whispered promises awaken something inside me...a longing that trembles on the line between defiance and desire.

While I may feel the pull of each of them, I know I wasn’t made for their cages, gilded or otherwise. But in a fractured world at war between man and magic, I’ll need allies as I uncover who—and what—I truly am.

As their lustful whispers tangle with my thoughts and their searing touches threaten to unravel me, fragments of my memories begin to surface.

Each of them swears they’ll never let me go.

But they’ll soon learn I wasn’t made to be kept.

Some call me death. Others, salvation.

When I rise, the world will remember what it means to fall.

My Review

I received Touch of Oblivion in return for an honest review from the author. 

I love Wren she has no idea who or what she is but she's taking it all in stride making the best of her situation. She wakes up in the middle of a war found by four very unique men each one drawn to her. They happen to be the kinds of their supernatural people. Thrust into a world Wren will have to figure out who and what she is as well as navigate her connection to the four men wanting to protect her. 

I enjoyed all the characters as Wren ventures into each kingdom we get to see them opening up and revealing more about themselves as well as she learns more about who she may be. A battle is brewing one that she may not be able to avoid. I love the kings each one is unique and brings something different to her life. They have this sweet yet steamy connection to each of them. 

This is my first book by the author and I'm addicted as the author is a very talented storyteller. Touch of Oblivion hooked me right from the start and I spent the day devouring it as I had to know how it would all play out. The characters are easy to connect with you can't help cheering Wren on as she attempts to find out who she is and what the future has in store for her. I truly loved every moment of it and only put it down at the last page. It was just the right balance of action and story with just a little romance sprinkled in just the right spots. I loved it so much. Highly recommend.

Synopsis

They can run from their demons…

The jokester of the demon brothers, Meph wears his grin like armor and uses humor as a mask. But lately, his composure has been slipping, especially around her. Iris. The blue-haired witch with a vicious temperament. Something about her soothes the darkness within him…but he’s not looking for a savior.

There’s no such thing for someone like him.

…But they can’t hide forever.

Bitter and haunted by her traumatic past, Iris Donovan isn’t keen on welcoming demons into her life—even if they’re her sister’s friends. Especially not teasing, tattooed Meph, with his red eyes and devilish smile. After a toxic relationship, she’s sworn off commitment, and she’s not looking for another Mr. Damaged.

Yet she can’t stop craving what she shouldn’t want.

To conquer this monster…they must tame it together.

With the return of a deadly enemy, the pain they’ve been suppressing is exposed, and Meph and Iris can no longer deny their feelings. Before Meph is swallowed by his darkness, Iris must overcome her fears and embrace that terrible part of him…

Or lose him forever.

Demon With Benefits is a scorching enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance with a Beauty and the Beast twist. Featuring a hot-headed witch and a lovable bad-boy demon with a serious dark side, this book has explicit scenes of a monstrous nature that are not for the faint of heart. If heroes with non-human attributes are not for you, ye be warned. As always, there is blood, violence, and so much profanity.

My Review

I received Demon With Benefits in return for an honest review. 

This is the third installment in the Hell Bent series. I loved the chemistry between Meph and Iris they have this snarky banter that just makes me giggle and love them more. It's totally an enemies to lovers story which I'm hear for because they both are a little broken but just so perfect for each other. I love the dog in the story he made me remember all the puppy training, and may have puppy fever now. 

I love all the characters in this series they are easy to connect with and you can't help falling in love with their stories. I think Iris and Meph may be my favorite but I feel like I say that every book. I love that they are single standalone stories but the past characters are still very much a part of the story. I love the demon brothers each one is unique with it's own story to be drawn into. 

I ended up reading Demon With Benefits and devoured it in just one afternoon. Like all the authors books she hooked me right from the start and I couldn't put it down till the very last page. I've loved every book in the series and each one just steals my heart with the characters. Highly recommend as it's one of my favorite series and a must for the monster romance fan. It's a perfectly balanced story that has just the right amount of action and spice. I loved everything about it.
