Werewolf and ex-hockey player, Brandon Scott, is up for bid at a bachelor auction. Scythe Moon Pack princess and best friend of Brandon’s older
sister, Kelly Maxwell, decides to bid on him as a favor.

Goal: A Mate is a fun story that is quick to read.

I get that Kelly would fight her attraction to Brandon being five years older than him and being her best friend’s little brother. Now they are in their thirties, and age is much more irrelevant. I appreciated that Kelly is intelligent and hardworking; almost to a fault ignoring her own needs. She always seems to put her business first.

I like Brandon. I admit that I am a sucker for hockey players, so he has an automatic plus on his side. That being said he is patient and hard working. My heart went out to him that his career ended early due to a shoulder injury.

Kelly’s father’s ruling was a bit harsh but necessary, especially to the plot. It made the main characters get their act together and move forward with their lives instead of avoiding the inevitable. Because let’s face it Brandon and Kelly avoided their feelings for way too long.

I thought the narrative of Kelly’s business and the resolution to fix the problems was cleaver.

Goal: A Mate is an entertaining story. It is a lighthearted read that is easy to finish in one sitting.

If you want sexy shifters, erotic trysts, and a fun and humorous plot in your stories then The Dawg Town series is for you. Did I forget to mention that most of the shifters are prairie dogs and they include bikers, librarians, waitresses and mechanics? Oh yeah…and heat…sexy shifter erotic heat.

When the Juliet half of Barkus, Kansas’ Romeo and Juliet couple calls it quits after years of hiding their relationship from their families it is time for someone to man up and take what he wants. Kitty and Robbie’s families used to be best friends but a longstanding feud over a misunderstanding had kept Robbie the prairie dog shifter and Kitty the Scottish terrier shifter from going public with their feelings for each other. Kitty wants all or nothing and after kicking him to the curb she is still waiting for him to realize his mistake and come back and pick up his stuff which is still all over her house. Robbie however has spent his time on a special mission…and now he must prove his recent excursion was worth the effort and win the love back from the woman who holds his heart.

This is a Changling Press series that has some great authors writing the novellas. Selena Illyria has delivered yet another great book to this series, which I have enjoyed from the start. The quick reads always make me smile and leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling because of their great characters, interesting and fun shifter twists and erotic heat. This book is a must if you are looking to find a quick pick me up that can be read and enjoyed both as a series and as a standalone.

Sky Lilly works at Pagan’s Corner Pub as a waitress. On her time off she visits a sex club called Dungeon. It is a place where she can be a Sub and not have to worry about being hurt or worse. It is a place where every one of her sexual fantasies can come true.

Brenton Lisander owns a sex club with his brothers. He is a dragon shifter but keeps it hidden from the one woman he wants beyond all others. He feels that if she knew, she would run. Instead he is her Dom and he lets himself enjoy what time he does have with her. Brenton has a hard time keeping his dragon under wraps during a session with Sky and tries in vain to keep him in. He begins to shift in front of her and she runs. Brenton thinks that he has ruined his chances to have her as his mate. Sky didn’t run because she was afraid but because of the pain that came across his face during the shift. She wanted to go and apologize but doesn’t know how to go to him. Will they let themselves hide from each other or will they throw caution to the wind and grab at the golden ring?

Dragon Kin: Reclaimed by Selena Illyria was an erotic and romantic read all in one. It was kind of like beauty and the beast with a wicked twist. Brenton and his dragon both want Sky as their mate but are afraid to take the chance. He feels that he could lose her if she knows the truth about him. Of course if he did just tell her, we wouldn’t have such a good book to read. Sky isn’t afraid to take what she wants but when she sees him in pain; she does what he tells her to do, she runs. Selena definitely knows what she is doing and writes another great love story!
