Mating My Mob
Amanda Cashure - 2019
Meanwhile, in Australia… a feisty chick in her red ballgown is jumping off the Pyrmont Bridge in Darling Harbour to escape dingo shifters. She’s saved by five guys with mixed feelings over whether to kill her or use her to form the mate bond that will move their lives from 'fight and run' into 'safety and belonging'... if only one of them wasn’t keeping a secret that completely changes the game. An ambush, and the realisation that mate magic runs deeper than they thought, leads them to hide in a cabin in the Blue Mountains – where Jager bombs are drunk and things get out of control in the hot and naked kind of way. This is not a parody of Australian life and is definitely a genuine shifter RH paranormal romance. Our Harper gets to keep all 5 of her men, after they earn her trust and her heart. This is a fast burn, with m/f, m/m, and m/m/f (threesomes, foursomes, and moresomes) and a trigger notice for not-entirely-consensual anal (dubcon) and an instance of self-harm which may be triggering for some people - but which is not part of the main plot or an ongoing recurrence. If you like fast burn RH, from 0-100 in about 10 chapters, this is for you. If you like slow-medium burn with lots of tension and lead up, then go into this one with your eyes wide open for something different. The premise for this book actually started as a dare on facebook... and out of that the author was supposed to write a short story but couldn't help herself, she's a sucker for world building and character development and that takes time. So here it is. For anyone who would love a second book please head over to the facebook group 'Amanda Cashures Keepers' and share your desires. As it stands this is a stand-alone, book 2 won't exist unless readers really want it. It has a Happily For Now ending where Harper gets to keep her five guys and they get all their hopes and dreams answered. Its a full-length novel at 100k and there's plenty of bonus materials over on 'Amanda Cashures Keepers' facebook group.

The claws and fur he can sprout at will make her feel safe. However, safety is a fragile thing and the force after her is more powerful than Elidi can imagine.

First Term
Rachel Jonas - 2019
Not to destroy it.This is another unfortunate side-effect of being the freak who descended from all three supernatural lineages. The bloodthirsty dragons, the destructive wolves, and the disloyal witches. Some believe that, when I transition in a few months, there’s a slight, teeny tiny chance I could unleash hell on the supernatural world. Call me crazy, but I’d know if I harbored that kind of power inside me.… Wouldn’t I?My entire life, all I’ve wanted was to be normal. Hence the reason I didn’t think twice about trading in my crown for a stack of books. I’ve got four terms on this island to prove the naysayers wrong, including my chaperones—Kai, Ori, Paulo, and Rayen.These four are gorgeous, but also ominous as heck. Babysitting me has clearly taken their focus off something they’ve deemed more important. So, now they go out of their way to make my life a living hell, with hopes that I’ll give up and leave.Thanks, guys.You could cut the tension between us with a knife, but what’s weird is I don’t hate them all the time. There are even odd moments when I catch them watching me. And not in their usual “wish-you-were-dead” sort of way.Even if I survive the academy, there’s still no guarantee these four and I won’t kill each other before graduation.***Note: DRAGON FIRE ACADEMY is an upper YA/NA reverse harem romance. This series will take you on a brand-new journey with a descendant of the beloved Seaton Falls shifters, featured in THE LOST ROYALS SAGA. So, keep an eye out for cameos from some of your favorite characters! New readers, rest assured; it’s completely unnecessary to read the previous five-book series before embarking on this fresh chapter, set in a world filled with fierce wolves, hotheaded dragons, and powerful witches you don’t want to cross.
To Crave Darkly
Bailey Grayson - 2020
Well, at least not a good one. The moment the vampire with the killer jaw line stepped into my bar, my life changed forever.A dark prophecy and a destroyer of worlds.After being attacked, kidnapped, and hidden in the Conclave, a safe haven for supernatural creatures, I must find out whether I’m the destroyer in a prophecy that predicts the apocalyptic end of the world, or if this whole thing is just the worst case of mistaken identity ever. I’d like to think it’s the latter, but after discovering the demon hidden in my proverbial closet, I’m not so sure I’m the person I thought I was.I need to control my new powers. And Fast.If I am going to survive long enough to discover the truth, I’m going to have to learn to control the demon buried deep within me. It’s not going to be easy, but with the help of an overly grumpy vampire, an almost always shirtless Hell Hound, a powerful mage and even the dragon shifter who hates my guts, I might just survive long enough to figure out why a powerful demon wants to claim me as their own and if Lucifer is really hellbent on using me to destroy the world.So, bring it on Lucifer. I’m ready. I think…This is a kickass paranormal fantasy with a why choose romance. Vampires, demons, shifters and witches all make an appearance and this book is perfect for those who like fated mates, forbidden romance, enemies to lovers or friends to lovers. Recommended for 18+ due to steamy scenes and characters who like to swear from time to time.
Touch of the Mage
D.D. Chance - 2020
Now I work at a magic academy…as a janitor. Ironic, right? Okay, so maybe I get a kick out of secretly solving the arcane equations the professors leave on the board for the rich, entitled student wizards. I’m broke, not stupid. Except then I get caught by the hottest mage on campus…who ropes me into helping him and his three equally gorgeous friends win a decidedly screwed-up magic competition. Easy enough, I think—until I start setting things on fire and getting chased by smoke-faced monsters and fighting side by side with four of the sexiest, most powerful wizards ever…and find myself—just maybe—falling in love… With all of them. Whoops. Note: This is a medium burn, New Adult Why Choose paranormal academy romance, and book 1 of 4 in the Twyst Academy series.
