Story:

Stag and the crew of the Varnish are on a mission, responding to a distress signal of a freighter that has been attacked by the Markus Models. Instead of finding the enemy, they discover one sole survivor. Nala’s a human, and having suffered at their hands during his time on Earth, there’s no species Stag despises more. But when the petite woman confuses him for an android and tries to order him around, Stag decides she’ll live—and pay for her slights.

Nala Vestria has lost her freighter, her crew and her father, only to become personal maid to a cyborg. Stag is surly, short-tempered, and completely untrusting of humans … not to mention intense, commanding, and maybe the hottest being Nala has ever seen. When she finds him temporarily at her mercy, Nala isn’t sure if she wants to kill him or kiss him. Then again, life is short. She opts for the latter.

Nala swiftly becomes a distraction Stag can’t afford, especially after he’s had a carnal taste of what the woman has to offer. He’ll take her back to Garden, his home planet, and be rid of her — as well as the emotions she evokes. But as their journey home becomes harrowing, Nala may prove to be more of an asset than a liability. To both the ship … and the lonely cyborg who commands her.

Review:

I enjoyed this book, just like I've enjoyed every other book I've ready by Laurann Dohner. Her writing style feels unique and the stories are easy to fall into. Once I started reading it, I had to finish it.

In this story, we have Stag, who doesn't like humans. I worried the book would be similar to Zorus's book since he also was a character who didn't like humans, but the stories were nothing alike, which was great. 

I liked both Stag and Nala, but I think Maze and Hellion were my absolute favorites! I really hope Hellion gets his own book because he's so different from all the other characters Laurann has created. 

The story jumped around a little bit too much, though. First the Marcus Models, then something else, and again something else instead of following a red thread throughout the whole book. This didn't bother me much. Overall, I found this book entertaining, funny, and not too emotional. So if you're looking for something to relax to, then I highly recommend this book.

Review: Drantos by Laurann Dohner

Heat: Burning

Bought from: Amazon

Read format: Ebook

Story:

For most, a plane crash means the end of life. For Dusti Dawson, it’s just the beginning… 

Dusti and her sister Batina survived the crash, thanks to a couple of brothers who are equal parts menacing and muscled. She’d be grateful…if they hadn’t turned out to be delusional kidnappers, who believe Dusti’s grandfather is some monstrous halfbreed creature bent on murder. Turns out Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles do exist— and they’ve been crossbreeding to form two hybrid races. Drantos, the man Dusti can’t stop lusting after, is one of the most dangerous of all. 

VampLycans Drantos and Kraven were sent to eliminate a threat to their clan. But when that threat turns out to be mostly human women, clueless of their lineage, plans change—especially after Drantos gets a taste of Dusti’s blood. Now, he’ll die to protect her. Even if that means walking away from everything he knows to keep her at his side. 

Is her strong desire for Drantos reason enough to endure danger coming from all sides? Or should Dusti cut and run the first chance she gets? 

Cover:

The cover is amazing! It stands out and it is appealing. I love it!

Review:

VLG is a new series by Laurann Dohner and it stands for Vampires, Lycans, and Gargoyles. I have read almost all books out there by Laurann and I have loved them all. I looked forward to reading this one even if shapeshifters aren't really my thing. 

At first, I didn't know what to expect. I found the story to be quite classical to a shapeshifter story. There were the laws, a town of their own, the clans, and of course, the shapeshifting. Very classical, but at the same time, the story had a twist of its own with the mixed vampire, lycan, and gargoyle bloodlines. I really look forward to Aveoth's book. I hope he will get one!

There was a lot of background and information about how things work in their world. Sometimes, it was a little bit difficult to follow, but eventually, it all sank in. 

The story was filled with action, true love, hot sex scenes and drama. A great mix and even if the book was long, I didn't experience it as such. I loved reading it. The only thing I didn't like was the sisters attitudes. Very unprofessional and immature sometimes, but in the end, I enjoyed reading this book. Definitely another success by Laurann Dohner!! I look forward to reading the next one in the series.

Story:

Cover:

This cover is just ... wierd. I don't like the way the guy is presented and the background is just wrong. It looks as if it was put together within two minutes without much thought behind it.

Review:

Wow! This series is just getting better and better! I wasn't really looking forward to read Justice book, but now that I've done it I think it was just amazing. Several of the scenes was just breathtaking and there weren't that much repetitions withins this book like it was in the previous once. I really look forward to read the rest of this series!

Review: Valiant by Laurann Dohner

Title: Valiant

Rating: A

Bought from: Amazon

Read book format: Ebook

Story:

Tammy walks by mistake into Valiant's territory, a mistake leaving her in terror and fear when the huge man-beast starts to growl and threaten her. He hates humans and will do anything to protect his home, that is until he takes a sniff of Tammy and immediately claims her as his.

Cover:

Well, the good thing is that the cover follows the series, but I still think they could look better if the text was placed differently.

Review:

So far this is the best book in the series! I just loved it! Valiant is more beast than human. He's huge and frightening while Tammy is tiny. He's very possessive of her and threatens to kill anyone who tries to take her away from him. Tammy had me wondering what she will do. Will she accept Valiant or will she run away? There are several repetitions in this book as well, but it didn't matter. I was hoocked and once I started I had to finish it.

Review: Slade by Laurann Dohner

Author: Laurann Dohner

Title: Slade

Series: New species #2

Beings: Humanoid animals

Rating: B

Heat: Hot

Bought from: Amazon

Read book format: Ebook

Story:

Trisha is the doctor at Homeland, the place where the New species live. Ever since she saved Slade's life she can't get him out of her head, but he doesn't even remember her. 

Cover:

Similiar cover to the first book. I don't think the guy's expression fits to this story. He would have fitted better to the cover of the third book. 

Review:

This book was a little bit slow in the beginning and even if it made me feel, just like the first one, I found it also a little bit irritating. I'm not fond of reading about severe missunderstandings between characters, but luckely things turned out alright. Through and through this is a great second book to this series, even if there are a lot of repetitions.

Story:

Ellie works undercover at a pharmaceutical company to find proof of their illegal experiments where scientists have combined human and animal DNA, creating a new species. These people aren't treated well and Ellie will do anything to save them, especially one of them who has captured her heart. 

Cover:

A regular cover for erotic books, but I think it could have looked better if the text was placed differently.

Review:

This book made me really feel. I felt with the characters throughout the entire book. I smiled, laughed, worried and almost even cried. Laurann has a way with words and I like her writing. It also felt like a very unique story. The only backside was the dialogs. There were many repetitions, making me feel like I sometimes read an essay, but it didn't matter. The story was great, though this is not a book for everyone. Warning for rough scenes!
