I really liked this book. I have read it several.  Don't read it without reading Grim.  Grim is also a favorite..read several times.  I would like too see Rebecca and Callen get together. Both most interesting .  But reading Orton is a delight.

This book has some of the most interesting characters Ive ever read. Raven Nez, a Native American, is a college football star. Hes the Great Red Hope: his father and tribe expect him to enter the NFL draft, promote the casino, and earn lots of money for the people on the reservation. Raven claims that his talent is exaggerated by the Native thing. The hair, the mystique. Hes afraid hell get injured quickly in the NFL, but he realizes the benefits he could bring to the tribe.

Raven is also gay. His grandfather raised him to believe that gay people are two-spirited, with special places in the tribe. Raven volunteers at a youth shelter and passes this message on to gay teens who have been taught just the opposite. He fights off women thrusting their bosoms at him for autographs and avoids the spotlight, because he just wants to help kids.

Dennis Hascomb is a film student hired by the tribe to make some promotional videos for the casino. He also has a YouTube talk show that, in the past, outed a popular student and caused lots of drama. Dennis is very pretty. Raven is asked to work with Dennis on the video, and he has such a crush on this white boy whos so smart, yet haunted.

I also have to mention Ravens best friend, Walter. Theyve been friends since they were kids, and have been fake boyfriends for a while. See, Ravens got enough status in the tribe that people would love to match him up with their sons. He doesnt like a lot of attention, though, so Walter does him a solid by pretending to be his boyfriend, thus saving him from hundreds of setups. Walters also looking out for Raven: I think this is something you have to do with your white boy. And Ill tell you this. Anybody you love, I love. But if he ever hurts you, all that pretty blond hair will be hanging from my belt.

Dennis is a whole ocean of drama. I cant even explain without spoilers, but his situation is something Ive never seen before. It was almost too much  Ravens life is complicated enough, Dennis could be Average Joe and it would still be an interesting romance. But hes not. Dennis is gay, but has never acted on it, and Raven is very cute with Denniss virginal excitement.

This book has a sweat lodge ritual, and football, and a casino, and parental expectations, and blackmail, and creepy people, all in a hurricane surrounding Raven and Dennis. Its quietly suspenseful, as you wonder when the dam is going to break open (mixed nature metaphors, sorry!). I loved it so hard. My only quibble is this: Dennis has A Secret (of course). As in every romance, he cant fully be with the one he loves until he reveals the Secret. And, as in many romances, I didn't like his timing. But thats mostly my preference. Otherwise, everything worked out, and there is definitely an HEA, and this was amazing and well-developed and funny and you should read it.

Rating: A-

I finally understand the whole book boyfriend tag and it's because of Oren/Ten. He's hilarious, sassy and entirely snackeable! I laughed so many times reading his diatribes. Actual out loud laughing especially in his musings with Caroline and her blackmailing siblings (who are just adorable btw) then there's Oren's nickname quirks, the places he goes and takes Caroline and how he loves - it all just got to me. He is a real living person as far as my heart is concerned and I want to be with hIm. No one can convince me this is not a rational possibility.. So suck it. Meanwhile I Can't wait to reread! Phenomenal story!

I'm 3/4 through this book and I'm in love with Anthony Malory.  His character is so defined.  He's sexy, charming, seductive, witty, sensitive, macho, heroic, and unconditionally loves his woman.  I cant wait to read this book again!

Everyone needs help from time to time. I could only hope they find a man like Jace.  He is mysterious, and kind and sexy.....just overall amazing character.

I love Katy Evans books because you will always get an alpha male, a witty Heroine and some saucy dialogue. First off, I LOVE the name Aaric Christos, its kind of like Eric, but with a double A. Isnt it yummy? Aaric is delicious and hes the star of the book.

I love Aaric because he comes from a less than great past.

I love Aaric because hes so strong, witty, and successful and has a presence.

 I love Aaric because of the way he treats Bryn, always keeping her on her toes! Sigh.

Tycoon is a standalone and there will be another book with Bryns friend (which I cannot wait to read). Aaric is a billionaire. He works hard to be where he is at today. Hes a ruthless business man and hes okay with that. Bryn is also the girl he kind of grew up with and kind of let slip through is fingers.

I love a second chance romance. Bryn is down in the dumps. She wants so desperately to find an investor to back her up in her business she knows Aaric is her last resort. She will do anything to get him to invest. Even it means following him around while getting the stink eye from his girlfriend.

There are a few flashback moments, but for the first time I really wanted more past moments. I wanted to see the relationship between Aaric and Byrn as they were during childhood. I also would have liked to see more of a romantic relationship as they were younger. It was definitely young love, but not the long lost young love if you know what I mean.

 I have mix feelings towards Byrn. I felt like it was hard for her to reach out to Aaric after all of these years. What does she has to offer? I wanted to see a character that had more to offer I guess. Shes a strong woman, like I said she will do anything to get Aaric as an investor, but I guess I don't fully agree with some of her choices.

Byrn pushing Aaric away did add tension to the book, but it also frustrated me. I felt like it may have gone a touch too long for my preference. I did enjoy the banter between the two and I could have read more and more of Aaric. Katy Evans never disappoints when it comes to her alpha males. I would say this book reads more like the Ladies Man, so if you were a fan of that, you will not be disappointed.

This is the first book in a new paranormal romance series written by this author. I loved it!

Ares is a wonderful character. I liked him a lot. He is one of the seven brothers born to Hades and Persephone, and has been banished to live in the mortal realm as a guardian to the portal into the Underworld in New York. His brothers guard other gates around the world. He has a typical alpha type personality - protective. Unfortunately, due to his power, which is the element of fire, he is extremely lonely as he is unable to touch anyone apart for two of his brothers. When he rescues a damsel in distress from a daemon, his power is stolen. Faced with a painful decision, will he be able to live with the consequences?

Megan is also a wonderful character. I liked her too. She is a human with a secret. She has a power too (she can heal), and in an effort to hide it, she tends to move often. Now living in New York,  she is thrown into a hidden world of daemons and gods when she is attacked on the way home. As her attraction to her rescuer boils over, the battle between daemons and the Underworld heats up. Will she survive with her heart intact?

I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book ever since I heard about it in the author's newsletter. I am a huge fan of this author's work and I pre-ordered my copy as soon as it became available. When it arrived on my Kindle, I began to read it as soon as I could.

I started to read the story and was instantly hooked. I became intrigued with the world building in this story. There is the human realm, but there is the jarring juxtaposition of what the sons' of Hades call "the otherworld". This otherworld is the future the Moirai foresaw and the Guardians are trying to protect against. It is a post apocalyptic vision of fire and destruction. The story is told mostly through the eyes of Ares and Morgan, but one of Ares' brothers, Valen, has a couple of chapters from his own point of view. This introduces us to him, as I understand his story will be next in the series. The brothers are (as introduced in the book): Ares, Daimon, Esher, Valen, Keras, Calistos and Marek. Keras is the oldest while Calistos is the youngest. Not sure of the order of the other brothers though. However, each brother has their own unique power: Ares is fire, Daimon is ice, Esher is water, Valen is lightning and so on. The reader also gets to meet Persephone and Hades, though only for small cameos.

I love reading the Eternal Mates series, but this new series may give it a run for it's money. However, I also felt this story is somewhat similar in tone to the Eternal Mates. I realise that the romance genre (contemporary and paranormal) has been around for a long time and most topics have been hashed over time and time again, which makes it difficult to find original concepts. I am not knocking this book at all but the formula used in creating it. I hope that as this series grows, the story arc is revealed to have surprising twists. I am looking forward to finding out.

Felicity Heaton has written another fast paced, sexy paranormal romance that I thoroughly enjoyed! I love her fast paced writing style, which flows effortlessly from scene to scene. She is on top of my favourite author's list.

Each book of this series could be read as a stand-alone, as this one does not end in a cliffhanger, though I would recommend reading them in order. I do not recommend this book to younger readers due to the extremely HOT and explicit sexual scenes. However, I highly recommend this book (and series) if you love sexy paranormal romances full of gods and daemons. - Lynn Worton

This book truly deserves a five star rating.  Excellent read.  The crazy part is that Orn is even better and Ox is even betterer ;)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I LOVE Totally Captivated. Book 4 is also one of my favorites (after book 1) from the series thus far. If you're looking for boys love AND a story then I can't recommend it enough.
Here's the story thus far: Ewon Jung is a 23 year old college student forced into working for Mookyul, a fierce loan shark with "movie star good looks." After a lengthy pursuit, Ewon has finally given in and agreed to be Mookyul's lover. In other stories, things might be going smoothly. Not with our boys. Book 4 starts with a run in with the Big Boss. The next day Ewon invites Mookyul out for a drink with his college friends. The night starts out well but Mookyul's jealousy and a revelation from Ewon's friend quickly turn things into a disaster.
This book deals more with character development and the relationship between Mookyul and Ewon. There is however some sex (nothing major is shown) and violence (mostly from Mookyul himself). Totally Captivated volume 4 is as well drawn and well written as ever. I especially loved the sweet moment at the end of the book. It helped to balance out the earlier violence in the story. Mookyul and Ewon are both so damaged you can't help but root for them.
Book 4 also has a one page bio for both Mookyul and Ewon in the back which I thought was a nice touch. It added a little bit of back story to the two of them. It also mentioned how old Mookyul is which I'm pretty sure hadn't been stated before.
Also worth adding, my copy of volume 4 has a different cover than what Amazon shows (check out the second picture for the book). It's too bad too. I like the Amazon picture better. Oh well.

Damn I want a Ronin for myself! In Cranes book Ronin made a comment about finding a woman like Faya and he definitely found his equal.  He was dangerous, tuff, and not someone you want to mess with especially when it comes to Anouk. I loved how their relationship started as lust but then turned into something amazing. I loved when he told her, Throw it out, Anouk, give me all that dark sh** that happened to you in your past so I can carry that sh** with you. I will make f***ing sure you will never have to swallow any more hurt from anyone. This quote just shows you the kind of man Ronin is and how much he wants to help Anouk through the hurt she went through in the past.

This was a short hot read and did not disappoint. The way Ronin took care of Anouk , you can really feel how much he loved her and how much she loved him too. Every time I read a new book of Esthers my book boyfriend list keeps getting longer. Cant wait to read Barks book!

Love this book. Sweet and lovable girl. Sexy, alpha male. Good story. Love the secondary characters. Wish Jordan could write about Talon's family. Would love to read about his grandparents, his parents and his siblings and their spouses' love stories too. Imagine a whole series about the Avery family. I would buy them. Please Jordan?!  Thanks for this story.
