Synopsis (Goodreads):

I thought book club was the most boring thing in suburban hell. Wine, gossip, discussing romance novels—what could possibly go wrong?

Everything, apparently.

I wake up naked on an altar, surrounded by my book club "friends" chanting in Latin. Turns out they're a demon-worshipping coven, and they've decided I'm the perfect virgin sacrifice. But before they can complete their ritual, Be'Leth appears—not to accept their offering, but to save my ass.

The rescue comes with conditions. I'm bound to him now, under his protection but also his claim. He's patient enough to let me accept his claiming and become his forever, or risk other demons finishing what the soccer moms started.

"You were meant to be sacrificed. Instead, you're going to be treasured."

I got betrayed by suburban moms and saved by a demon prince. Guess which one treats me better?

Thoughts on Sacrificed to My Demon: Waking up naked on an altar with a bunch of wanna-be witches trying to sacrifice you for power and such does NOT seem like a good time. But I guess when the summoned demon is not only hot, but both morally good (all things considered) and fiercely protective of you, things work out.

I mean, Annie ended up with the better end of the deal, no doubt. Her relationship with Be'Leth might have started off a little rough (mostly because being an intended sacrifice sounds rough), but her demon took care of business with the almost-witches and made sure she was safe which was honestly ideal. Sure, she had a choice to make as far as what she wanted out of his protection, but he let her make said choice and then he worshipped her the way she deserved to be worshipped.

These are bite-sized romances where things happen quickly, the demons are hunky and protective, and the ladies always come out on top. *thumbs up*

Synopsis (Goodreads):

All of my friends are mated to werewolves, but I've been there and done that, and refuse to go through it again. Especially with a giant, gorgeous man who calls every woman Cupcake.

I don't care that he's sexy and fun.

Or that we're becoming friends. Maybe even best friends.

I don't want a mate.

I just can't seem to make myself ask him to leave.

Honestly, I'll do everything it takes to avoid a mate bond…

Even if I feel myself falling in love with him a little more every day.

Thoughts on The Hungry Girl's Guide to Mating with a Werewolf: We're down to the last two in the female friend group and the Feral Pack. Maya had a bad experience with her first mate hunt and isn't looking to get herself in that situation again. Ethan, on the other hand, wants a mate something fierce. Given that all Maya's friends have mated with all Ethan's pack brothers, they both think the odds are with them possibly being their other half. But, again, Maya is VERY against putting herself in that position again, so they're kind of at a stalemate.

That said, Ethan's persistent. If Maya doesn't want a mate, he'll settle for being her friend. They just have to avoid direct eye contact so the mate bond doesn't trigger. Cue the mirrored sunglasses any time they're around one another. However, both Maya and Ethan are almost desperate for the connection they can only get from one another. So they embark on a friends with benefits (and no eye contact) situation to try and work around these things they're feeling.

No lie, they're both feeling lots of things. So many things. Maya's still fighting the idea of mating, but Ethan...well, Ethan's all in. But he won't force Maya to make a choice that she might end up regretting. Ultimately, she has to decide if she can stomach the idea of living without him. And then she has to act one way or another so they aren't stuck in this endless almost-mate limbo.

I'm sad to see these wolves go, but must say I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of them fall.

Synopsis (Goodreads):

I made a plan to get mated to a werewolf for my own safety—and nearly got myself killed.

Apparently, shifting isn't easy for everyone. Me, being everyone.

After I narrowly survive becoming a wolf, I have to marry this man I barely know.

But he's funny.

And thoughtful.

And yes, I'm starting to like him more with every minute we spend together.

I know there's no way out now, but honestly?

I'm starting to think that this connection between us really was decided by fate.

Thoughts on The Logical Girl's Guide to Mating with a Werewolf: Zoe is a lady on a mission. Quite bluntly, she WANTS to end up mated to a werewolf and she has a plan to make this happen. The plan involves meeting all the unmated wolvers in the Feral Pack and crossing her fingers one of them is her mate. And then? Running from them to trigger their instinctive need to chase and bite.

As plans go, it's not terrible. I mean, there was a little left up to chance with the whole "hoping one of them was her mate" thing, but the rest? Worked wonderfully. The only thing Zoe really didn't take into account was that she almost died during her first shift. Which she didn't know was a possibility, really. Fortunately, she had Connor there to coach her through the change. Now she just have to convince her wolf to bite him and finish planning their wedding.

On Connor's end, he's not in the least upset that his wolf chose Zoe. He's willing to do whatever needs to be done to convince her wolf to choose him now. Which means making a list of all the things that Zoe wants and then giving all those things to her. And if he has to marry her to keep her safe? So be it!

I'm really enjoying these human women and the wolves who are getting a second chance at being mated. Next up: wary Maya and the last wolf standing. *thumbs up*

Synopsis (Goodreads):

I brought my friend's housewarming present to the wrong place. A grumpy werewolf answered the door, and shifted into a massive wolf.

Apparently, we're mates.

And apparently, my mate doesn't like cake.

Who doesn't like cake?

Sugary goodness aside, he's bitter and jaded.

I'm… well, the opposite.

So when he says he doesn't want to be with me, I give him space.

But for some reason, he can't stay away.

He wants me more than he wants to, and as long as he's treating me right, I'm not going to turn him away.

Because he says he doesn't want a partner, but honestly?

I think he's lying to both of us.

Thoughts on The Friendly Girl's Guide to Mating with a Werewolf: Emmy, who might be a little bit of a hot mess, takes a wrong turn on her way to Jade's house and suddenly she has a werewolf of her own as a mate. Unfortunately, Finn's human side is a little conflicted about having a mate. Especially one as sunshiney as Emmy.

But Finn's wolf made the call and then Emmy's wolf accepted in what was possibly the shortest mate hunt in the history of mate hunts. So now they're trying to do the platonic mates with benefits thing which doesn't work nearly as well as Finn probably hoped it would. Mostly because he caught feelings, his human side is just a little tangled up about that.

A whole lot of color, some nearly-naked baking, a wolf who needs to work through what he wants, and a lady who is trying to be patient with the wolf who claimed her. *thumbs up*

Synopsis (Goodreads):

She’s so pristine and innocent. I’ll drag her into obscenity.

The senator’s daughter is being targeted by terrorists specializing in mind control. Considering the high-profile life she leads, filled with ballet performances, charity galas, and stifling political events, I am the worst possible fit for her. I don’t belong in polite society. Unfortunately, I am the only MSA bodyguard who can resist mind control.

It quickly turns out protecting her is much more thrilling than I suspected. My tightly buttoned-up principal is delightfully fun to tease. Her proper upbringing hasn’t prepared her for someone like me: lethal, uncouth, irreverent to the bone.
She can’t help being curious. And as her innocent, doe eyes trace the shape of my skull and linger on my mouth, mine are drawn to her genteel manners and tightly pinned hairstyle. I wonder what it will take to see her completely undone.

When I fantasize about tattooing my name on her skin, I know I’m in too deep for her good or mine. But it’s too late. This sweet princess dressed in pink will be mine, no matter how many brains I’ll have to splatter to have her.

Thoughts on Guarded by the Phantom: Oh man. Phantom is something else. I mean that in a good way. He has a comfortable lack of morals when it comes to ending threats to him (and his principals), but he absolutely falls apart when it comes to dealing with emotions. I mean, the guy called his therapist when Barbara admitted to liking-liking him. He's used to being feared and causing terror. Those softer emotions just do him in BIG TIME.

Unfortunately for him, he has to deal with them. Why? Because Barbara needs him as much as she likes him and he's not about to see her get hurt or abused on his watch. To put it bluntly, Barbara needs as much protection from her mother's emotional abuse as she does from the mind manipulator.

As for Barbara? She's been the dutiful daughter and always done as she's told. She lives in a bubble where everything around her has been curated and carefully designed to keep her more as a trophy daughter than an actual person. Phantom is loud and messy and crude and he treats her like she's a real person and that's almost as hard for Barbara to deal with as those pesky emotions are for Phantom.

Let's just say that the two of them are complete opposites and they somehow work SO WELL. Barbara brings out Phantom's gentler side (such as it is) and Phantom brings out Barbara's wilder side. They're messy and a little messed up, but BOY do they work.

Synopsis (Goodreads):

I met a werewolf in a hospital, and somehow ended up mated to him.

I never believed werewolves were real, but now I'm face-to-face with the truth.

They exist.

And this one has decided I belong to him.

Or at least his wolf has.

The man doesn't actually seem to want me.

Which makes me want him, however ridiculous or unhealthy that is.

He thinks we should just be friends, even though the monster within him disagrees.

So I decide to seduce him to prove that we could work out, because honestly?

Just friends isn't going to work for me.

Thoughts on The Independent Girl's Guide to Mating with a Werewolf: Jade, who doesn't KNOW about werewolves, but is also a little suspicious that maybe there really are werewolves in Moon Ridge, is up and her honey-bunny is Wyatt. Much like the other rejected, the surly mechanic doesn't think he'll ever find a mate again. So he's pretty shocked when he sets eyes on Jade and his wolf immediately goes all possessive.

Jade is miles apart from his previous mate. She doesn't mind his job (in fact, it reminds her of growing up with her dad) and just seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with him. She's sassy and says what's on her mind which means Wyatt doesn't have to try to guess how she feels.

On Jade's end, she likes the big werewolf and is determined to show him they could be good together. She knows she can be a lot for others to deal with, but she also thinks maybe fate had it right when it matched the two of them together.

I'm enjoying watching these damaged wolves find their special someones. *thumbs up* all around.
