Her Christmas Phoenix by Zoe Chant

Posted December 27, 2020 by Marsha in Christmas Shifters, Stand Alone Title / 0 Comments

All she wants for Christmas is a sizzling hot shifter… and a flock of movie-quoting penguins.

Avery loves working in Antarctica, but when she winds up spending the holidays alone at her research station, it’s hard to find any Christmas cheer. Then there’s the cascade of unwanted–and unclothed–photos guys on her dating site keep sending her. (Of all the things in the world to deck with boughs of holly…)

It’s been a rough year. She just wanted something merry and bright.

He’s her perfect gift. She’s his perfect match.

Ice phoenix Emmett Frost is used to being alone for the holidays… and the non-holidays. He’s the guardian of all Antarctica, and that’s a duty he’ll never give up. So that means being lonely, right? No one else would want to spend their life at the South Pole. At least he can talk to all the Antarctic animals… although turning the penguins into big movie fans might have been a mistake. (Who knew they’d wind up so obsessed with Alfred Hitchcock?)

Then he meets Avery, a smart, curvy penguin researcher who blows his mind. Emmett’s just supposed to keep her company for Christmas, but soon he wants to keep her company forever. She’s his true mate, and he has to figure out how to tell her—and how to start believing he might deserve her.

It would all be easier if they didn’t have to deal with opinionated penguins and a rampaging polar bear that doesn’t seem to realize it’s on the wrong continent. But then, the holidays are busy for everyone…

This is a Stand-Alone Title in the Zoe Chant Universe… although, there are always possibilities. 🙂

This is an adult 18+ title.  It contains language, violence, and sexual situations geared toward a mature audience.

Have you read any of the books in the Real Men Shift series by Celia Kyle and Marina Maddix?

Real Men Howl –  Real Men Snarl – Real Men Growl – Real Men Scratch – Real Men Bite – Real Men Claim – Real Men Hunt (I’m not caught up on all the review posts but these stories are amazing)

Yeah.  Those stories.

Well… Celia Kyle and Marina Maddix have opened up their ‘universe’ to other authors so we can now have stories set in that particular world by – Cecilia Lane, Reina Torres, Moxie North, Kate Rudolph, Willa Hart, and Anne Hale!  At least for Season One.  And who knows for the future!

I’m frankly excited because I’ve enjoyed the Real Men world and I love when authors open up their worlds to allow other authors to write their unique slant on that world in new stories.

So, keep an eye out for:

Real Men Season One – Feral Fated Mate by Anne Hale  — Howl for Me by Cecilia Lane  — Howling for You by Kate Rudolph  — Sanguine Scent by Reina Torres — Finding Her Home by Willa Hart —  The Vampire’s Pixie by Moxie North.  All release on January 5, 2021, and each is part of its own series as well as the Real Men Romance universe.

Rescued by the Beast by Ruby Knoxx

I knew I loved her the moment I met her.

It’s been years, but her face still haunts my restless nights.
In my dreams, her deliciously curved body is aching for my touch.
In reality, she’s gone and there’s nothing I can do to get her back.

When we finally meet again, it’s like nothing has changed.
But she doesn’t know how my body craves her.
She has no idea that I need her like the desert needs water.
That she makes me feel as if I’ve been drinking rum on a beach all night.

She needs my help, and I’m gonna break all my rules for her.
I’ll pull out all the stops, and I don’t care about the consequences.
I’m not gonna let anything come between us this time.
Because there’s one thing that I want her to understand:

I’d rather die than let them take my mate from me again.

We’re the Bear Justice MC. We’re like paid vigilantes, on the hush-hush end of things, making sure that justice is served in this world. We’re kept off the books, off the radar, and if we ever get caught doing what we do… things won’t be pretty. But there’s no rest for the wicked. So let’s get the engine roaring. Duty calls.

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence, and sexual situations geared to an adult audience.

A Shifter for Christmas by T. S. Joyce

Posted December 23, 2020 by Marsha in Christmas Shifters, Shifter, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Kieran Dunne isn’t worried about the holidays. They will come and go, and he will be left with a big property tax bill from the estate he inherited. His brother finds a newly-listed job in the paper that could match Kieran’s unique abilities. A woman has put an ad out for a shifter for Christmas, and the pay would cover his bills. She’s asked for a non-predator shifter, but he can lie just a little. What could it hurt? He’s just supposed to babysit a crazy lady during the holidays, and then collect his pay and move on with his life. But when he meets Leslie, it’s clear this job is more complicated than he’d anticipated. She isn’t what he thought at all. And the more he understands of her life, the more he doesn’t want to leave her at the conclusion of Christmas Day, as their contract requires.

Leslie Wilson wants to bring a man home for the holidays. She’s tired of ruining her family’s annual parties with her single-ness. She wants a teammate this year to face the Wilson family with her. All her life, her last name has cast a long shadow over her life. All she wants is a simple life, but her family has different plans for her. And what better rebellion than bringing a date to the holiday celebrations than hiring a real-life shifter? Her sister’s fancy husbands might be rich, but they don’t turn into animals. It’s a simple contract, but when Kieran shows up at her door, she realizes fast that there is nothing simple about her feelings for him. Now she must walk the line this holiday season—pretend to be in love without actually falling in love.

And if she can accomplish that? She just might make it to New Years’ still human.

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence, and sexual situations geared to an adult audience.

Escape to a tropical holiday vacation at a shifters-only resort where the gift under the tree is destiny.

In A Christmoose Story, hockey player Lars is desperate to impress the shy, bookish caribou shifter, Julie. Desperate enough to lie and say that he’s a bear shifter, because who could ever love a big, goofy moose?

In A Recipe for Happiness, Royal Guard Chet is expecting a dull assignment guarding a spoiled princess. Instead, he meets his one true mate and starts a decades-long exile that takes them to a blooming new resort for shifters only. An unconventional Christmas gift is the perfect spice for the rest of their life together.

In All in the Timing, Liam is thrilled to meet his mate during an interview for a resident doctor at the new Shifting Sands Bay…and less thrilled by the responsibilities he fears come with being a mate. Can an ace dragon shifter navigate a path to happiness with (or despite!) the enthusiastic help of the resort staff?

Hilarious and heartwarming, three standalone novellas and one short story return you to the beloved island of Shifting Sands Resort—or introduce you to it.

The Hunt: Masquerade by Milly Taiden

Posted December 16, 2020 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Connected, Stand Alone Title / 0 Comments

Rush Jensen, wolf shifter and failing hotel owner, has always lived in the shadow of his family’s sordid history. His entire life has been spent trying to regain what was lost: the family money and the prestigious name attached to it. When his flighty brother makes a shady deal with a loan shark, there is more than the crumbling family business to save. That is what he should focus on. Not the beautiful masked woman he meets at a masquerade – even if she is his mate.

Chantal Katz is an upcoming designer who can’t believe her luck when she gets invited to the year’s shifter party. Not only is she human, but she isn’t a glamorous society lady. She just likes to design gowns. But her plan to leave the masquerade is ruined when she runs into a handsome masked stranger. She just didn’t expect the one-night stand to turn into anything – especially not love.

The attraction is undeniable. Especially when Rush finds Chantal after her morning-after disappearing act. They could be incredible together, Rush knows that. Too bad the past just won’t leave these destined mates alone.

Although this is stated to be a Stand-Alone Title there is a connection, slight, to The Hunt (same world).

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence, and sexual situations geared to an adult audience.

But my bear recognizes her as my mate.

Well, alright. I have a couch.
She can take the bed.

But then, in the middle of the night, she gets cold feet.
And she needs me to warm them up…
