Ebook Review: Gambling on Her Dragon (Shifters in Vegas #1) by Anna Lowe

 

Blurb: 

She’s stolen his earnings — along with his heart.
Shifter Trey Dixon can play poker like his wolf can howl, but what he doesn’t know about the shady underworld of Las Vegas gambling might just get him killed. By the end of one crazy night, he’s sucked into trouble — and falling hard for the petite dragon shifter who steals his winnings along with his heart. Before he knows it, it’s not just money at stake — it’s his destined mate’s life.

Kaya Proulx didn’t mean to fall for the mystery man who was supposed to be her ticket out of a tight spot. But that spot only gets tighter when her sizzling-hot lover leads her straight into a den of wolves. She has enough problems with vampires, gargoyles, and her missing sister. Now, the clock is ticking and her life is on the line. Can she trust her inner dragon and bet against the highest odds of all?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

Easy, fun, and full of action. I truly enjoyed this story. Kaya was trying to save her sister, and Trey wanted to win enough money to buy his own ranch. Despite some questionable circumstances, they found themselves together and unable to forget the other. I loved the dragon and wolf pairing, and keeping the dragon on a smaller size. This was a wonderful read.

Ebook Review: A Forced Bond (Dark Pack Series #1) by Ann D. Lang

 

Blurb: 

Forced together. Fated forever.

She was supposed to find her fated mate under the full moon. Instead, she is ordered to bond with a stranger.

The full moon after Rhia’s twentieth birthday was meant to be the happiest night of her life. Among wolf shifters, it is the first full moon after turning twenty when a wolf might finally recognize the mate chosen by the Moon Goddess.

Rhia has always hoped that mate would be Caleb, the boy she has loved for years.

But when an entire neighboring pack is brutally wiped out, everything changes.

Fearing they could be next, the Red Moon Pack forms a desperate alliance with the neighboring Silver Lake Pack. And alliances between alpha families require one thing above all else: a mating bond.

As the only unmated alpha daughter of Red Moon, Rhia’s future is decided for her. Instead of discovering her fated mate under the coming full moon, she is ordered to form a bond with Jalen, the future alpha of Silver Lake. Leaving her home, her family, and the life she thought she would have.

Jalen never wanted a forced bond any more than Rhia did. But protecting their packs comes before everything. What neither of them expected was the instant pull between them, a connection that feels far too real to be political.

But if the Moon Goddess had a plan for their bond all along, it may be because the Dark Pack that destroyed one pack is not finished yet — and their own may be the next target.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

If you love wolf shifters, forced bonds, pack politics, and warm, addictive romance with genuinely good characters — this one is for you. Not dark romance. Warm hearts, real danger, HEA guaranteed. For readers who want their hero strong and good, not broken and brooding.

A Forced Bond is Book One of the Dark Pack Series, a five-book paranormal romance series best read in order.

Content warnings: explicit sexual content, violence including death (not graphic), forced/arranged mating bond, brief captivity.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I found this story very hard to put down, though it did start a little slow. I read it in one sitting. There was plenty of action, loss, love, and family. I loved both Rhia and Jalen as they put their packs ahead of their true feelings. As they got to know each other, a connection began to form. They were both honest with each other from the start and admired the other's skills and intelligence. I look forward to the next in this series to see how the background story plays out.

I received a copy through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
