The third book in the Montana Born Brides Series, “Bride By Mistake” by Nicole Helm has Kaitlin Shuller and Beckett Larson at loggerheads as they battle antagonism and sudden love for each other.

BrideByMistake-NicoleHelm-May2015

Kaitlin and Beckett end up having a one night of consoling sex that has Kate pregnant, unsure and emotional. Beckett had always had feelings for Kate, but he’s got a history of running away from problems. But with Kate he decides to face them, and confess his love for her. Kate is going through an emotional high as she sees the man of her dreams marry her sister, and now been pregnant with Beckett’s baby leaves her insecure and emotional.

I thought both Kate and Beckett needed more character development. The story is short and seemed rushed into a conclusion. Although it’s an okay read, I really wasn’t able to connect with the characters or the story, and definitely missed the aura that usually surrounds the town of Marietta.

Even Shifters have problems of love, especially when the alpha male is stubborn and pig-headed like Ryan. In the next installment of the Moon Shifter Series, “Protective instinct”, Katie Reus gives her ever-protective hero the fear of his life, as she throws his mate Theresa into danger.

ProtectiveInstincts-KatieReus-MoonShifter

Theresa and Ryan may have accepted their feelings for each other, but the stubborn alpha holds back the ultimate mating due to his painful past. Frustration leads to arguments and barriers and a revengeful vampire has Ryan rethinking his idiotic behavior of keeping Theresa at an arm’s length. A threat to Theresa’s life brings out Ryan’s protective instincts and the separation and fear of losing is mate gets his head out his rear to claim her forever.

Intense, steamy, and passionate, “Protective Instinct” is a short novella in the series that leaves us with the satisfaction of reading another charismatic story of Katie Reus’s creative and mesmerizing paranormal. And I’ve never been disappointed with her writing prowess, and she is a master at keeping her narration enchanting and captivating.

“The Sound Of Glass” by Karen White is one of the most brilliant books I’ve read in recent history, and I do read, a lot! Deep in mystery, rich in emotions, brimming with secrets, “The Sound Of Glass” will take you on a journey of abuse, courage and the pain of loss as it explores the relationships of four individuals in a kaleidoscope of colors, as they try to understand each other.

Merritt comes to Beaufort, SC when she inherits her dead husband Cal’s ancestral home. And right on her heels, her young stepmother Loralee and her ten-year old stepbrother Owen, she’s never met in her life end up on her doorstep. And she also inherits the Cal’s brother Gibbs and a family steeped in secrets that she’s never heard of.

TheSoundOfGlass-KarenWhite-May2015

As these unsuspecting characters converge under a single roof, what we get is an amazing story of insecurities, pain, loss and fear. As Merritt, Loralee and Owen try to bond, the mystery surrounding Cal and his grandmother, gets deeper and deeper. As Merritt gets to shed her inhibitions, Gibbs is right there to support and encourage her to grieve without guilt. As Loralee goes on a path of no return, she leads Merritt on a path of self-realization, acceptance and a life that should be lived like there’s no tomorrow. As Merritt tries to leave the glass house, Owen teaches her the nuances innocence, love of siblings and the bond that makes a family.

“The Sound Of Glass” should be read to understand the characters, the depth of relationships, and the power of fear, forgiveness and acceptance. Words do not do justice to this book and you feel the impact of the story only when read. This is no edge of the seat, adrenaline pumping, steamy story, but true to the value of family, ethics and the consequences of secrets within a family and them impact it has on its members and the ones that follow.

I’ve never read Karen White before, but this is a brilliant start for me. She does a stupendous job of keeping the narration tight to the minutest of detail, interchanging between decades yet keeping the story tight. The progression of relationship between Merritt and Loralee should be read, to enjoy them to the fullest. This is one fictional relationship that will stay with me forever!

There are no words to describe Katie Reus’s works except read them, enjoy them and devour them. From paranormal to deadly ops to red-hot security experts, her stories are passionate, steamy and adrenaline pumping reads.

On the path of vengeance, the Brennan sisters Nika and Alena would do anything to bring justice to their slain parents and put a closure to that part of their lives and move on with the new identities. But the road to vengeance is not as easy as they thought and ex-CIA and security expert Declan Gallagher becomes an irresistible bump on the way.

Retribution-KatieReus-May2015

Nika is still trying to come to terms with a gift that was born out of an accident, and Declan as her dream-walker is not making it easy, giving her sleepless nights. With the spirits of the dead and Declan’s protective clock hovering around her, Nika can’t seem to resist the passion and lust that flares between her and Declan, and neither can she ignore the visions that leave her haunted.

With danger and betrayal close to home, Declan would do anything to save Nika to keep her with him forever, and Nika would risk everything to save her sister from death and keep Declan safe, even if she has to sacrifice her love and move far away.

“Retribuiton” is another brilliant stand-alone novel, as Katie Reus weaves a super tight screenplay of evil, passion, betrayal and death. Nika and Declan will leave you with so many warring feelings of helplessness, fear, lust, passion and love that will make you re-visit them again and again. The suspense is tight, the vengeance is justified, the betrayal is cruel and the ending is perfect.

I hope Katie is thinking of stories for Alena, Andre and Declan’s gifted brothers!
