My Review:

Six sizzling paranormal romances keeps readers on their toes as alpha heroes and heroines overcome dark pasts to find their own happily ever after. Visit beloved characters from the Redwood Pack series, the Fallen Alpha series, and the Ashwood Falls series and find new characters to love as you are introduced to new worlds.

These fast paced and smooth flowing plots keep the readers shivering in anticipation with action, drama, suspense, and romance. The authors bring each of their stories to life with well written words and details that capture the imagination and well orchestrated suspense and drama draw the reader deeper into the stories while the strong bewitching characters are easily related and grab the reader’s attention and ensure that the reader turns page after page.

Each story is full of lots of chemistry and red hot passion in each and every story that leads to scorching hot sex scenes including ménages. The reader can’t help but get caught up in the drama and excitement that revolve around the characters and their search for their happily ever afters.

Devastating secrets from the past are revealed in the mesmerizing Ashwood Falls romance as Noah courts Emmaline hoping she’ll recognize the mating bond.

Join in the Game of the Gods as they manipulate the mortal world as the author brings the Ludos Deorum series to life with some unique and fascinating characters and elements.

The True Believers are once again wrecking havoc and lies in the quest to destroy anyone different and currently that puts Hayden and his newly found mate in their crosshairs in this exciting addition to the Fallen Alpha series.

Cora’s lost too much in her dark past and it’s interfering with her wolf and her mating to Torin in this captivating Ashwood Falls story.

Intriguing elements and twists fascinate readers in the bewitching vampire romance Sangue Fever where Lisabetta yearns for something more.

Fox rescues a human woman who fascinates him and her secret threatens the Watcher’s world in this fascinating new world where balance is everything in a war between heaven and hell.

While I wish each story was longer, I found each and every story to be enjoyable and entertaining with lots of fascinating characters, intriguing twists and elements and there was never a dull moment.

Touch of Desire

Ashwood Falls 4.5

By Lia Davis

Part of the Dark Fates Anthology

 

As the wolf senior enforcer, Torin Fisher’s job is to protect the pack and each of its members. That includes the beautiful submissive wolf, Cora Rivers. He’s known for a while she belongs to him, but he decided to wait for her to come to him willingly. Since her brother’s death, he’s watched her withdraw from the Pack little by little. Tired of sitting by watching her suffocate her wolf, he decides the time has come to claim her.

Cora Rivers is no stranger to pain. Just as she comes out of her mourning over her parents’ brutal murder, her brother—and best friend—suffers the same horrifying death. Grief cripples her and in attempt to learn to be independent, she inadvertently stifles her wolf by not letting her out to play on a regular basis. When Torin Fisher, begins the mating dance, her only choice is to run.

Together they have a chance to not only release her wolf, but find the connection and future they both deserve.

My Review:

The mating dance has begun, but Torin must wait for Cora to heal from her losses before he can claim her in this captivating Ashwood Falls romance.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot captures the heart and reaffirms that love can heal all wounds. The author brings the story to life with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and the strong charming characters grab the reader’s attention and draw them deeper into the story.

The mating heat has definitely began between Torin and Cora but her wolf’s is having some issues and it will take Torin patience and dominant side to coax her to come out and play which of course to hot and steamy mating dance that the readers can’t help but get caught up in.

Some danger and excitement spice up the story making this a quick but enjoyable and entertaining addition to the bewitching Ashwood Falls pack.
