Terrific banter, sizzling chemistry. Exceptional college romance book. It had a little bit of everything I like in this type of story. Jamaica is full of sass and Callahan is a charmer. One of my favorite scenes is Jamaica's education to football, brought a huge smile to my face.

Of course some oKaren helped plan an American vacation with her best friend, in order to get her friend out of the rut she was in with a bad breakup. Of course some of the extra side trips are not necessarily what Karen would have picked, but her friends happiness is all that matters. Polar Bears though, really, and when she finds out they are shifters and they believe she is their mate, Karen is ready to run like crazy if it was not for the insatiable desire she has whenever she is in their company.
This was okay for me, I like Hazel Gower's Bears series a lot. This series is completely different and is more of a mate now, explain later. It had some funny moments and Karen is not quite the submissive mate and has a mind of her own, which keeps her mates on their toes.

Under an alias, Claire Hallowell arrives in Wilsonville, SC looking for the link to a set of serial killings claiming young women. Branded by a demon,Under an alias, Claire Hallowell arrives in Wilsonville, SC looking for the link to a set of serial killings claiming young women. Branded by a demon, Claire was forced out of the FBI but is working with another group who handles the more paranormal side of investigations. So far, with the help of her ghost Claire had not discovered to much except her boss, the Sheriff was lazy.
The first day they are supposed to work together, he is late. When Claire finally meets Derek Jacob, he is rude, crude, and makes it perfectly clear he wants her. Claire is not interested though, she has had more than enough trouble with men to last a lifetime, especially since the last one marked her.
Derek knows that Claire is his mate. His first impression though did not go well and she finds him repulsive, at least that is is what she is telling him but he can smell her desire. Of course he can also smell she is not being completely truthful about who she is. Now Derek has his hands full of his temperamental mate and a heck of a problem when he finds out the demon wants Claire as his own.
I thought I had read this before, but not completely sure. I thought this was pure hot fun. Derek is a bad boy to the core but Claire is his equal in every way, she is not having any of his games but she doesn't quite realize he intends to make her his mate. I hope there is more coming in this series soon.

Felix is known around the school she teaches at as a bit of a player, he has never glanced her way but she needs his help with a little make believe payback.

I liked Felix and Katy, I enjoyed seeing how they begin to realize they are not what the other assumed about them. Some really funny laugh out loud moments. Delightful road trip book.

Finding a stunning woman is just what he needs and when she reels off the conditions of a weekend of hot sex, he is sold. Having to head home though has him leaving without a word, imagine his surprise though when she shows up and is there to help his reputation.
Salem cannot believe the man she is hired to fix is the man who left after a intense sex filled weekend. Kellen digs his heels in though with Salem and it is only a matter of time before they act on it. Can the man who runs from commitment find a way of redeeming himself?
I really enjoyed this one, Kellen is a jerk of your dreams initially but he grows on you once you get to the heart of what is having him act out. I thought Salem was a delight, she puts Kellen in his place a time or two. Together they are a couple you are hoping will find their happily ever after, looking forward to the next book....more

His gruff attitude takes no prisoners so he is beyond ticked when one of his runs has money missing. Finding Quinn O'Malley in the center of it has his irritation fueling at an all time high. She is a surprise and nothing like the criminal element he surrounds himself with. The thing with Quinn though is she ends up surprising him and now he has her targeted. When he finds her he makes a move that surprises everyone, even himself.
If I could have imagined someone for Rogue it was not Quinn and I loved it. Quinn is brilliant and she has a way of talking herself into things that she shouldn't, testing Rogue at every turn. This was a complete delight, did not want this book to end....more

Garrett is pure charisma and so loyal to Alyssa, he is all in and yet he is sensitive enough not to overwhelm Alyssa when she feels panicked. Another great one has a few favorites from other books in this one....more

When the babies did not come she finds out her husband has been cheating on her and the woman he cheated with is now pregnant. Betrayed and hurt Amanda initially sticks by her husband but when it is clear she is just going to be walked all over and her feeling do not exist she files for divorce, moves and starts over.
Thunder saw Amanda a few years ago and believed then she was his one. She was married though and he would not break up a marriage. Now she is in his town with a bakery and single.
