review 1: One of my guilty pleasure books are romances set in coffee shops. I don't know why they make me all warm and fuzzy, they just do. This one was just a really big meh for me. Not only was it over priced, the drama at the end was just too much. I found myself skimming, and not reall...

review 1: Cup Check by Stephani Hecht is a novella at 21,431 words published by eXstasy Books, and it features two alternating third-person viewpoints. Other than more typos than I’m used to, I have no problems with this tightly written story that features vivid, insider-view details about...

review 1: 4.0 StarsWow. I really enjoyed this one. I was going to skip it because it was a halvesie but I'm so happy I didn't. Yes, Shaney goes looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift for Trevor but his search (and find) were delightfully unexpected! Don't miss out on this exciting in...

review 1: I'm so glad we get to see more of Russell in this book, and especially Dalton... I mean I loved Dalton from the first time he asked Shane for some chocolate milk all the while knowing he was safe since Trevor promised him. He's ready for some wolf action, and Russell has grown a...

review 1: Honestly? The romance part of this story didn't really convince me but the plot? Yeah I liked it. Even though there are a couple holes we didn't get explanations for I still found it creative and interesting enough to keep going 'till the end. Only reason I'll try to find the res...

review 1: Maybe I'm just a grump but I liked it better before asshole lion and Gage got together. After that it was just so-so for me. I'm thinking Gage's brother will end up with the slutty cougar. Since I'm behind On the series I could probably go read blurbs to see if I'm right but I'm ...

review 1: Some things just don’t add up – like Dean’s assumptions regarding Mitchell. If they’ve been in nightly chat contact he should be aware of certain facts.This isn’t the most intense or intricate in the romance department, maybe more of a filler volume to handle developments. Good e...

review 1: Ah, Shane, my favorite sociopath and assassin. I don't know what it is about him that appeals to me, well other than he has a wickedly dry, sarcastic sense of humor. No matter how many times I hear everyone in the coalition talk about how psycho leopards are and they're only good...

review 1: A hyena isn't a shifter that is often portrayed in books. Let's face it, they don't have a good reputation even in the animal kingdom, so why would anyone want to romanticize them? However, since it's been determined, over and over again, that I'm crazy about shifters, you can be...

review 1: Like everyone else, I think the book should have been longer--I could go for double the size. The plot was great, the brothers were a mess but in a good way--a hot-headed, uber talented mess. Their secret was protected a little thin, to say the least. I mean, if I had been inv...

review 1: I thought this one was o.k. It started out with a gay bashing of one of the MCs, which I hate reading about. Put me in a poor frame of mind right off that bat. Then I thought there really was no buildup at all of the attraction between the two MCs. But it had a very sweet HEA. I ...

review 1: Colby and Tobias are both "runts." They are on the small size and there have been health troubles with runts. This makes them seem inferior to other shifters, some will just kill them as babies. I love that these are the two that get together.The plot makes sense in this world...

review 1: The blurb makes the "taken captive" part sound rather major. It's not. It comes in really late and it's more of a token thing than anything else.Overall, it's...not bad? The premise is kind of interesting. They actually sound more like anthropomorphic animals than actual shifters...

review 1: Hm. All right.This one’s definitely one of the better instalments of the series.The romance is still on speed and in fact the entire book feels fairly quick, but at least people don’t go too far with the idiotically pointless (and usually jerkish) self-sacrificing.It had a more i...

review 1: Stephani Hecht can be relied on for a good story!This is Owens story, and I have to say, I was angry on his behalf, his brother Seth and the rest of the coalition, weren't fair to him IMO. No computer, not working as a medic, his trained field, not caring what he did down in the ...

review 1: Of the books in this series I’ve read so far, I actually thought this was the best yet. I wasn’t sure I would like the whole ‘pity me, I’m wounded’ storyline but for some reason this one worked. I also got a bit more of an introduction into the new half-human half-shifters that w...

review 1: I rated this as okay, because that's exactly what it was. There was no real romance story here. Boy met boy. They kissed and then they were together. Nothing in the way, no obstacles. Very blah. The true purpose of this story was to push forward the whole attacks on the compound ...

review 1: I was dissapointed with this... I had hoped to get away from Cassie some and you keep shoving her at us. I doubt if this was real she would be the toughest shifter, maybe no guys would hurt her because they respect her and are afraid of her brothers and mate. AND maybe she could ...

review 1: Ashton and Justice was a great fictional m/m read. It was a little twisted in that the DA is abusive while the mob boss is more caring about his son. Hecht really enjoys writing about characters that have no true good or bad to them only a deep pool of grey. The DA puts very bad...
