I have read a few books from this author and have enjoyed all of them. She brings heat and romance with a backstory that will have you feeling all kinds of emotions for the characters. That is exactly how I felt for both Eli and Nivea's characters. Especially Nivea. The author made a very strong character when she created Nivea and I enjoyed the story all the more because of it. I definitely recommend buying and reading.

Samantha's Saturday Reviews


 
A BBW Tigress and a smoking hot Wolf heat up the sheets in this sexy story!

It was supposed to be one night. No strings. No names. Just sex.

Valentina Cruz is a sexy, curvy woman with a new job thanks to her sister and cousin. But with the awesome job comes her heat and desperate need to mate. And she’s out of medicine to help her cope.

Brett Night is going to his hotel when the delicious scent of a tigress in heat stops his wolf on his tracks. With bountiful curves, gorgeous mocha skin and lips made for kissing, she’s exactly what he’d hoped for in a mate. Who cared that they were different species?

After a night of sin, Tina realizes she isn’t just over her heat, she’s got bigger problems at hand. Like the fact her one night stand turns out to be her boss. Unfortunately for her, it appears one night wasn’t really what he had in mind.

Reader Note: This story contains some smokin' hot sex. If you have problems with low down dirty hanky-panky, you might want to skip this one. However, if you like a curvy woman who loves her body, a man who will do amazing things with his tongue and some cheeky humor, this is the story for you. Enjoy.


 
Valentina is a Tigress shifter who has been in hell. She started a new job and she's in heat. She realized a little too late she was out of the pills that will keep it under control. Then she runs into mega sexy wolf shifter Brett on the street.

Brett can't resist the sexy tigress shifter that he runs into on the street. Not only is her being in heat hard to resist but she's also his mate. One night is all she wants. He wants more.

I absolutely loved it. Milly is one of the best at creating great short, sexy, fun reads. I have enjoyed many books by this author in the past and the Hot Sex and Dirty talk is very titillating. This is the first book that I have read in this particular series and it was a sultry short that I definitely recommend reading. I will be reading the rest of the series as soon as possible!

Dalia Azul knows she's got a problem. Every spell she tries to create ends up targeting a growly shifter in the woods. He's big, furry and so sexy she's half-losing her mind from thinking about him.

When she goes out into the woods thinking that it will help her concentrate, she ends up summoning the big bad wolf instead. Figures. This time he isn't going to make it easy on her.
How can she focus on magic when he's naked and promising to do all kinds of naughty things to her?

Maybe if she gets a taste of the forbidden, she'll be able to concentrate and stop her hex gone wild...


 
'I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review'

Dalia is a witch and for some reason every spell she casts lately hits sexy werewolf Jared. Which does not make him happy. One time her showed up at her door naked yelling at her. So when a wayward lust spell hits Jared she gets a big surprise.

Jared has wanted Dalia since he first seen her. He is just biding his time. He knows that she wants him now he just has to get her to admit it.

My Opinion:

A super sexy short by Milly Taiden! Milly is called the Smut Queen for a reason! For those of you that are dying to read something hot but are short on time this is a book for you. It is full of steamy hotness with a curvy witch and the Big Bad Wolf that wants her. I definitely recommend reading!

Smut-Shorties: A great on-the-go short to satisfy your craving for smut!

A Naughty BBW Witch + A Growly Wolf = Hot Lovin’ Under the Moonlight

Liani Azul went to a bar to test a perfect kiss spell and ended up in the arms of a growly shifter. He did things to her she’d never even heard of before and ended up mated with the hot wolf. But Liani doesn’t break the rules, so she turned away from him.
After several days of thinking, she realizes she wants the sexy shifter and doesn’t care what the council will do to her. Will he be open to taking her back after she rejected their mating? Giving herself to the wolf in mind and body might be a good start.

Letting him do all kinds of deliciously naughty things to her might help her cause or it might just be a great way to remind him how perfectly matched they are...

**Please be aware that this is an Erotica short that contains raw sexual language**


 
Liani met Seth when she went into his bar practicing the perfect kiss spell. They had one hot and steamy night together and even though he claimed her she turned him away. Too worried about breaking the rules. However she can't stop thinking about him and she flat out misses him. So she decides to say to hell with the rules and goes to find her mate.

Seth claimed his little witch but she was so scared of breaking the rules she turned him away. He knew that she would come back to him but in the meantime he couldn't stay far away from her so he was around even though she didn't know. When she finally comes to him he vows that he is not going to let her go this time.

My Opinion:

I love it. I just can't get enough of Milly's books! This is a short and super sexy short that anyone the busiest mother or busiest career woman can take a little time out of their day to read and enjoy! I definitely recommend reading!

Samantha's Friday Reviews

Todays blog post is all about books by Mina Carter!




 
The Midwinter Ball... a time when the lycan packs of the city are required to send an offering to please the Master of the City; a woman. Young, nubile and eager to please the Master in his bed.

Only this year, the struggling Trevais pack are all out of young and nubile, forcing Alpha's sister, Cyan Trevais to attend as the Midwinter Offering. Which is fine. Totally cool. Plump and older than all the other offerings, she's got this. No way will the Master be interested in her. She'll be fine.

Until she slaps and insults another guest, bringing her to the attention of the Master of the City, who is more than a little interested indeed. An all night kind of interested...


 
All of the packs have to send a young female pack member to the master of the city for him to make his choice who he wants for the night. Cyan's pack has no young females so she is stuck being the one going. She already knows that she isn't going to be picked. She's not skinny and glamorous like the others. Imagine her shock when she ends up catching his attention.

My Opinion:

This is a great short! It leaves off where the story can continue and definitely makes you want more. It's fun, short and steamy! Great for someone who is short on time but really want's to read a good book! I definitely recommend reading!

Nat was warned to stay away from the Manor on the hill. She was warned about the wolves that protected their village... warned that women who caught their eye were known to go missing.

Did she listen? Hell no. Why should she listen to old wives tales when no one had seen the Langdon Wolves, the last of their line, for years? They were probably dead by now, and even if they weren't she wasn't a werewolf. Not really. Her family had been human since her great-great grandmother's time.

But wolves are long-lived, particularly the Stone-Wolf Langdon alphas. When she steps onto Langdon land, she finds out the punishment for trespassing is a hot night of passion with two alpha males.


 
'I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review'

Nat didn't listen to the tales about the Langdon wolves. She ignored her grandmothers warnings. She didn't think they were true. She figured they were probably dead by now. She was wrong.

The Langdon wolves were cursed by a witch. Stone during the day and alive at night until they can find the one woman who can love them both.

My Opinion:

Such a yummy short story! It was a quick read for someone that doesn't have hours to read a book. A sexy Menage with two dominating Alpha wolves and the female that can't resist them! My only problem with shorts is that the women give it up way too easy, but at the same time it's part of what makes them so hot! I definitely recommend reading!

The most powerful werewolf in the city. Hot as all the hells. He'd been Cyan's for a night, but her time with him over, Cyan is annoyed to realize Veyr isn't even present to bid her goodbye. Instead he sends his Captain with the Midwinter gown, a sumptuous white dress given to the Midwinter woman to keep. They're considered heirlooms in the making, handed down through generations.

And Cyan doesn't want one. She wants Veyr. But the dress Veyr sends isn't white. It's red. Far from letting her go, Veyr has called for a Claiming Chase. If he catches her, she's his. But first he has to chase her, capture her... claim her. In front of the Council.

               


 
This is one hot short! This story pics up the day after from where Master of the City ended. Very wants to mate Cyan but the counsel won't have it as she doesn't shift and is almost human. So he states that he can claim her in a claiming chase. What transpires next is sexy alpha male hunting his woman and some raunchy sex in front of others. I absolutely loved it! Nothing better then to be able to read a quick hot read.

Smut-Shorties: A great on-the-go short to satisfy your craving for smut!


Vanessa McCauley had been groomed to be mated to the Master of the City. She knew that, the whole city knew that, and her brother, the McCauley pack alpha is pissed as all hell that Veyr has chosen someone else.


With strict instructions to find Veyr at that evening's ball, she somehow finds herself in the arms of not the Master, but his Captain of the Guard. Unlike Veyr, Jace Trenton makes her heart pound and her body long for things that are dark and forbidden...


**For greatest enjoyment, please read Master of the City and The Master's Woman before reading this title.**


**Please be aware that this is an Erotica short**



 
Vanessa has been raised to be the mate for the Master of the City. But when he chooses someone else her family tries to force her to change his mind. But when she catches the eye of someone else she knows where she wants to be. In the bed of the Captain of the Guard.

Jace has had an eye on Vanessa for years but never once thought he would have a chance. Until after the Master claimed his woman. When the little pack princess returns his attention the game is on.

My Opinion:

In Master of the City when Vanessa was singled out I was hoping she would have her story. I highly enjoyed this short! It was yummy, quick to read and leaves you wanting more! I definitely recommend reading!

She's his woman, but not his mate. Alpha werewolf and Master of the City has plans for Cyan Trevais. Plans that involve getting her naked and panting beneath him. But, hot as the sex is, he can't ignore the call of his wolf, or his heart. When his woman's brother demands to know his intentions, Veyr knows he must make a choice...

This was another yummy short by the wonderful Mina Carter!

Vyer isn't happy with just claiming Cyan. His wolf wants to mate her and after her brother confronts him about his intentions with his sister he decides that He will make her his no matter what the council says.

My Opinion:

I love Mina's books! She is exceptionally talented at writing erotic stories that make you want to disappear with your significant other. This book is no different! It is a great short! I absolutely adore Vyer and Cyan and I can't wait to read more of their story!

Lycan noble-woman Vanessa knows she is playing with fire when she accepts Captain of the City Guard, Jace Trenton's, invitation to an evening at a local club...one with a very interesting reputation. Fed up with being merely a pawn in her brother's plans, she decides to take something for herself and accepts.
The last time they were together was explosive... Who knows what he has planned this time?



Vanessa can't get enough of Jace, but what they have has to stay a secret because her brother would throw a fit and have Jace killed if he found out. He still has hopes of her mating Veyr The Master of the City. When Jace asks her to meet him at a club she has a small idea of what she is walking into but she never would have imagined what he does have planned for her.

Jace still can't believe what is between him and Vanessa. He wants to share his world and what he likes with her. It can go one of two ways either she loves it or she hates it. He is hoping for the former.

My Opinion:

I am so totally in love with these shorts! Mina is amazing and I think as these stories continue they just get better and hotter! I can't wait to see what is next for Vanessa and Jace! I definitely recommend reading but you really do want to start at the beginning!

Smut-Shorties: A great on-the-go short to satisfy your craving for smut!

She lost everything when the man she loved mated another. Unable to remain in Lycan society, Cyan has left the pack and her home to make her own way in the human world. A world where no one knows who she is, or that the Master of the City, rejected her in favor of another. She's happy...she tells herself that on an hourly basis. So why does her heart long for that she left behind?

The most powerful werewolf in the city...and he's screwed up, big time. When Veyr discovers that Cyan isn't just avoiding him, but has forsaken the Lycan way of life he knows he can't hide behind honor anymore. The truth must out. But when he finds her, he realises there's a lot more to play for than just his heart...

**Please be aware that this is an Erotica short**

NB: Revised version. Please update to ensure you have the latest version if purchased before 12/1/15



When Veyr and Jace hatched their plan in The Captains Challenge The Master forgot to do something very important. Let Cyan in on the plan. So she truly believed that he rejected her to mate with another. So thinking that she had been cast aside by the Master of the City and brought shame to her pack she exiled herself from the pack and went to live among the humans. Little did she know that she took a piece of Veyr with her.

Veyr fudged up big time. He thought he had it all figured out. He was going to beat Vanessa's brother at his own game. Get her and his best friend mated and he and Cyan would be able to be together with no more issues. His mistake. Thinking that he didn't have to tell Cyan about the plan. Now she's gone and no one has any clue where she is. Once he finds her he knows that he will have his work cut out for him to win her back.

I absolutely loved it. Having read this series from the start I of course know what happened in The Captains Challenge. Even knowing this my heart broke for Cyan and the emotional pain that she was in. It was awful what Veyr unintentionally put Cyan through. However the man certainly knows how to make things right including some very unsanitary but oh so steamy kitchen play. I definitely recommend reading. However it is truly best to start from the beginning of the series. The Smut-shorties are a great way to get a great story that you can read in no time!


 


 
Smut-Shorties: A great on-the-go short to satisfy your craving for smut! *Please be aware that this is an Erotica SHORT*

A new city, a new choosing...

The Midwinter Ball...a time when the lycan packs of the city are required to send an offering to please the Mistress of the City; a male wolf...young, virile and eager to please the Mistress in her bed.

Archer isn't a wolf, but his younger brother, Seth, is. The only unmated male in their pack, he's about to be served up on a silver platter for the Mistress, and only Archer seems to have an issue with Seth's age. He might be an adult in the wolfy world, but to Archer's mind, he's still too young. Trouble is, if Seth doesn't go, someone else does... Which leaves just one person crazy enough to walk into the Mistress's den and pretend to be a wolf.

Reena is bored stupid. She hates the Midwinter Choosing, hates the fact that all the males are paraded in front of her like damn peacocks, and hates the fact that her normal cover story is happily mated, which means she HAS to pick a partner this year.

Then a handsome alpha asks her for a dance, obviously unaware who she is, and all bets are off...

**NB: This is the first story in a new city. You do not need to have read the other Smut-Shorties to enjoy this one.**

The Revenants. One of the best mercenary teams in the business and an asset Tessa Honeywell can't afford to lose. The fact that their leader, Jensen Haye, is possibly the hottest guy this side of the Keltairan expanse is something Tessa tries very hard not to let affect her plans. Very hard. Well, not that hard. But in her defense, the guy is sex on legs. Just one...err, two problems. He's not human and he's pissed at her after her Intel sent a mission bad...So why do his growls turn her on like nothing else?



Jensen Haye thinks Tessa is the hottest thing alive. A femme fatale. She's mysterious, alluring and ...human, so she's way too delicate for a brute like him, and that's before factoring in the beastly side of his nature.

Mina was born and raised in the East Farthing of Middle Earth (otherwise known as the Midlands, England) and spend her childhood learning all the sorts of things generally required of a professional adventurer. Able to ride, box, shoot, make and read maps, make chainmail and use a broadsword (with varying degrees of efficiency) she was disgusted to find that adventuring is not considered a suitable occupation these days.

So, instead of slaying dragons and hunting vampires and the like, Mina spends her days writing about hot shifters, government conspiracies and vampire lords with more than their fair share of RAWR. Turns out wanna-be adventurers have quite the turn of imagination after all...

(But she keeps that sword sharp, just in case the writing career is just a dream and she really *is* an adventurer.)

The boring part: A full time author and cover artist, Mina can usually be found hunched over a keyboard or graphics tablet, frantically trying to get the images and words in her head out and onto the screen before they drive her mad. She's addicted to coffee and would like to be addicted to chocolate, but unfortunately chocolate dislikes her.
