This was my first book by Stefanie London and now I can't wait for more! Nico is extremely distrustful and Marianna wants to liven up her life. She goes to extremes to do it. When Marianna and Nico cross paths a fire was lit. The plot of this romance is sexy and fresh. I wish I had her brothers and would love to know them better.
This romance was a fast read, I think, I literally devoured. This is one romance I very highly recommend. Super sweet and extremely hot. A must read.

This was a new to me author putting a fantastic spin on one of my favorite paranormal subjects, dragons. The uniqueness of her story telling made this book so compelling and engrossing. It was so chock full of information it bordered on too much but honestly there was just so much happening in the book it was action packed from the first chapter to the last page. At times it was almost non stop action. Peril and dangers are coming from so many sides the book is like a chess board being set up for future books. It is a marvelous process. I had a very hard time putting the book away with so much going on.
The characters were very highly developed and had rich surroundings described in vivid detail as well as well researched information. This book was a great first book in a series and I will highly recommend it to all who love fantasy, romance and paranormal books.

It had some fun uniqueness going for it along with some well used mythical ideals; though some of those even had their own twist. The characters were entertaining and made me laugh at their dialogue. Seb is a soul injured man. He is broken and he doesn't even know it. Brie is a free spirited kind of woman and just what he needs to heal his very old wounds and bring him back to life. If only they can both stay alive to do it. This plot was so fun and suspenseful. I can not wait to get my greedy hands on the next book. I need to find out what happens now. I am looking forward to where this cast of characters is heading. I definitely recommend this book.

It is one of those books that immediately suck you in and is impossible to put down. The suspense and romance of this book were perfect. It was a good balance between the two. The suspense is one that kept building until it finally crested and we know it all. And wow what a plot!
Matt is the kind of guy most women wish they had. He is strong, protective and when he lets someone in it is all the way. Trista is a lot like him when it comes to working with people, but she may be worse. Her first meeting with him sets off a domino effect of events that have both their lives changing. The romance is a beautiful one and of course not so easily achieved.
I enjoyed this book so much and can not wait until the next book releases. This first book was an excellent start to this awesome series. I very highly recommend it.

It may be the hottest book I've read in a while. These characters are very dynamic. They felt real and following the building of their relationship, even if they didn't know it, was excellent. I can not wait to read more by this new to me author. They kept me entertained. I have been in a reading slump for weeks until I picked up this book. I definitely recommend if you love hot vampires, sexy hockey players and scorching hot sexy times....more

There was a moment there I thought I would be throwing my Kindle against a wall, but CJ Ravenna pulled through. This is a must finish series. I NEEDED to know what Raiden would do. I needed to know how my guy Hiro handled the Kitsune.
This story was an all in one read. I couldn’t set it down. I needed answers! I needed Hiro to win it all. I needed Raiden to make good choices. I needed this book! By the end of the book I was so in love with these characters all over again. And once again this author continued to wow me with their storytelling. I never read a Kitsune character like this one and I was enchanted. I look forward to more by this author. ...more

TThis is my first book by this author and they have impressed me greatly. I enjoyed the incredible tale they had written and its detail rich visuals. The characters were amazing. I loved Hiro. He is the kind of character I enjoy reading about. He is driven, passionate, and loyal. Raiden took me a little longer to like but we got there and I couldn’t imagine anyone else with my man Hiro. Raiden is possessive, strong, and he would do nearly anything for Hiro.
This story was made special because I hadn’t read a PNR quite like it. The newness was refreshing and the twist on one of my favorite genres was icing on the cake. I will be coming back for more of this author and this series. It has me captivated and I can’t wait to find out what happens now. ...more
I've read thousands of books, and by this time in my life I feel like I know what to expect when I open a new one. I make advanced assumptions for howI've read thousands of books, and by this time in my life I feel like I know what to expect when I open a new one. I make advanced assumptions for how I think a book will go. And this isn't to say I am tired of reading or anything. I just do it without thought.
So with that said I went into this book expecting a little angst and a fast romance with a good mafia based plot. What I got was a visceral push and pull between two characters as Chai tries to convince Leo to be his bodyguard. The fact that Leo didn't immediately jump at this opportunity was one of the first things that hooked me with this book. The second was the fire between these two supposedly straight characters. This is a favorite trope of mine and this was wholly unexpected. I was hooked.
The heat as these two figure it out was epic. I'm talking about needing a drink of ice water to cool off kind of heat. It was extremely sexy and the 'dance' between them was just perfect. The story was sensational and kept me glued to the pages. Mafia has always been one of my favorite tropes. I didn't want to put it down. Work became a burden because I couldn't find out what was in store for me next. This new to me author had me in a spell I didn't want to break out of.
This book was so much more than I thought I was getting and I would recommend it to ANYONE, but especially those who Love mafia romance, love straight to gay romance, love the bodyguard trope, and love a well written story. Pick it up and give it a read. I would love to chat about it!...more
