I always thought I'd die crushed under the weight of my TBR pile, but my death was a plot twist I didn't see coming. Save your sympathy Now that I'm dead, I'm living my best freaking life. I'm free to read books for hours on end without worrying about food, rent, or, well, any other interruptions. It looks like I might finally be able to get through my TBR list... maybe. The only one who can see me in my ghostly form is Wasabi, an adorable rat that lives in the library archives. That changed when a not-quite-human guy showed up in town and caught me admiring his gorgeous body-er, I mean, smile. If it was possible to die twice, I'd have done it on the spot from sheer embarrassment. I was drawn to him like a moth to an ugly Christmas sweater, but I fought the pull. My TBR list was calling, and men were a distraction I didn't need or want. Books before boyfriends, am I right? But it turned out the man wasn't traveling alone. He was part of a three-man team that investigated strange ghostly occurrences, and they'd come to Amberwood to figure out why lost souls were gathering here. They are determined to convince me there is more to life than books and show me the joys of being shared by three adoring partners. Resisting one irresistibly sexy man was hard enough, but three? And that was before a purple-eyed reaper appeared in town, and I started making bets I couldn't win. I was fighting a losing battle by continuing to deny what my heart was telling me... and that was before I got a lap dance from death. I can't deny I'm addicted to their touch. Still, I prefer to keep my drama inside the pages of a book. But that becomes impossible when I realize lives are in danger... including those of the men I've started to think of as mine. I'm still haunted by my death, but maybe it's time to face the truth and stop being such a good ghoul. They say you only live once, so I guess it's time to find out if you only die once as well. Is YODO a thing? My TBRs aren't going to read themselves, and these men are becoming a distraction I don't need. Although, I could take a quick break. Just let me finish one more chapter... Sensitivity Note-If you're the type to clutch your pearls while reading spicy romance books... then I suggest you run and grab those pearls, because you'll be needing them quite a bit

A housewarming gift unleashes a djinn... but I think he's defective. To be honest, a big part of why I moved to a remote island was to escape my overbearing mother. She wants me to get married, settle down, and pop out some grand-trophies. I'm not opposed to the idea, but every time I swipe right, I seem to end up dating hot messes or worse: suspiciously perfect guys. No thanks. I want a normal guy who loves to snuggle and binge watch TV until we fall asleep in each other's arms. A guy who will make me happy. Is that too much to ask? I hadn't even finished unpacking before my mom's housewarming gift was tossed onto my porch-an antique lamp. While checking for damage, I rubbed the lamp, and you'd never guess what came out. Although, the title kind of gives it away, so darn it, you already know what popped out. It turns out, being shaken around like rice inside a maraca during shipping isn't great for a djinn's memory; he is only able to remember bits and pieces of his past. Not to mention that every time he uses magic to help me, I end up with another mess to clean up. Still, there is no denying I'm attracted to him. I just need to keep my mom from meeting him, so she doesn't start hearing wedding bells. When someone makes a grab for the lamp and my man, I'm ready to do whatever it takes to save him. Djinn and Bare It includes a second bonus novella, Must Have Djinn Love Please note, this is a pretty steamy book with the sweetest monster of a Djinn who is obsessed with his girl. It also includes violence when the FMC finds herself trying to rescue the love of her life before he's snatched away from her forever. Monster Mate Mayhem is a series of eight standalone monster romances, each featuring a different monster and their journey to find love amidst the chaos of their lives.

I was living my best life in the afterlife... Until a klutzy phoenix flipped the laws of life and death on their head. As the Queen of the Phoenix Afterlife, I was responsible for finding a way to fix the chaos the delightfully rebellious firebird had created between the world of the living and the... well, dead. Working together, we found a way to send her back through the veil between our realms. Unfortunately, things went haywire as Ryls and her mate went through, and I ended up landing in the Earth realm too. Now I'm in a world I was never meant to exist in, and I'm afraid something else slipped through with us... I have to track it down before it unleashes the phoenix version of pandora's box on the earth. And I have to do it before the veil between the two worlds becomes completely unstable and collapses. I'll need to generate a lot more power to accomplish either task. According to Amaryllis, what I needed to do first was find a mate... or mates. I'd never expected to have mates, or love, so where on earth was I supposed to start looking? Urn My Love is book one in the Just Walk It Off duology. It follows Iolani's journey to find her three mates. There will be lots of steam and humor. The series will have a HEA. UPDATE 5/29/2024- There was an issue with the chapter headers misspelling Iolani's name. That has been corrected and you can delete the book from your device and redownload it to get the updated chapter headers.

Gargoyles aren't supposed to have pesky things like emotions. If I don't get mine under control, I'll be forced to spend the next hundred years stoned-and not in the way you are thinking I've spent my life being told I'm a failure, thanks to my inability to become the emotionless, logic-driven gargoyle I'm supposed to be. Despite my years of effort, I can't figure out how my species manages to teach themselves to be emotionless, and it seems the harder I try, the more I suck at controlling my feels. The fix, according to my parents, is sending me to Slaymore Academy instead of a gargoyle college. That way, I can get my degree without drawing too much attention from the Gargoyle Council until I've conquered my emotions and can stand before them as a proper gargoyle. At least, that's the plan. But things start shaking up-literally, with repeated earthquakes-and my mentor collapses from a mystery illness. I agree to team up with Thane, a sexy hellhound who can feed on my emotions, to get to the bottom of things. It doesn't take long for me to realize that being around Thane is stirring feelings inside me I've never experienced, and it's unraveling the progress I've made over the past three years. Before coming to Slaymore, I'd never questioned my future. I just accepted that being a proper gargoyle meant protecting my own city, being assigned a partner to reproduce with, and a life spent watching the world pass by on the streets far below my rooftop perch with few interactions outside of my corvid companions. Now I'm wondering if there could be a different life for me-one where I don't have to give up my emotions, my boisterous friends, or the sexy hellhound who claims I belong to him. I'm starting to wonder if my future truly is set in stone... or if I can carve out my own destiny. Grading with a Gargoyle is the second book in the Slaymore Academy series. The steam builds a little slower than some of my other books, but when it kicks in, there is plenty of heat in the bedroom... and other places. Each book in the Slaymore Academy series is a standalone, featuring a different girl struggling to fit in with the rest of her species, who finds herself at Slaymore. Every book in this series will end with a HEA... so no cliffhangers Since these books feature various paranormals who possess a variety of abilities, the steamy parts of the books will definitely take advantage of those skills.

I'm a bunny on the run. Forced to bond with a fluffle of rabbit shifters who care only for my ability to provide offspring, I've spent the last several months tucked away in a burrow. My matched wouldn't disrespect our elders by publicly rejecting me, but privately, they made their lack of feelings clear by refusing to bond with me. The only time they remembered we were paired, was when I went into heat... and became fertile. After being betrayed and hurt yet again by the men who were supposed to be my matched, I ran from the burrows. I didn't think there was anyone who would be willing to help me until I watched a viral video of a raven-haired bunny who'd been claimed by the Alpha of the most powerful pack of wolf shifters on earth. Monroe had faced down the elders of her burrow and offered sanctuary to any bunny who needed it among her wolf pack. Gathering my courage, I decided to travel across the country and take her up on the offer. Making the journey to Monroe's pack isn't the hard part. No, the far more difficult challenge is trying to convince three very persistent wolf shifters that it is impossible for me to be their mate... no matter how much I wished things were different. But what if the elders are wrong? What if the rejection I'd suffered from the butthole rabbit shifters means the bond can be broken? Please read the sensitivity note inside the book for more specifics about possible triggers The female in this book does experience bullying and is cheated on by the rabbit shifter males. She is not bullied by her wolf mates. Her wolves are ready to destroy anything that threatens their bunny. Hey There, Hop Stuff is a series where each book features a different bunny and her journey to finding happiness and her mates. In most of the books, the female bunny will face cruelty from other rabbit shifters. Throughout the story, she will find love, and safety, among the protective wolf shifters. Bunny shifters go through heat, and her wolves will be more than happy to help satisfy their mate's heat... over and over.

I'm ready for the chaos of Texas to be a speck in my rearview mirror. So when the museum director throws me a bone by arranging for us to visit a fossil dig in Utah, I jump at the opportunity. I need a breather from all the craziness that has become my life since waking multiple dino shifters. A dig in Utah sounds like exactly what I need, the perfect getaway. As long as I stay away from any dino shifter bones... other than in the bedroom, of course. The first surprise was the primitive campsite. These cabins don't even have running water. Oof. The second surprise was being chased through the woods by someone-or something. Gulp. The third? Well, let's just say my attacker was more than a little freaked out when we tumbled into a pit and he came face-to-face with a brontosaurus. Surprise, mother-clucker You would have thought dealing with a newly awakened shifter, and working through things with Albert would have been enough drama for one vacation. But someone is stealing from the dig site, and suspicion falls on everyone in the campsite... including my mates, Suli, and me. My mates create a security detail to unravel the mystery, while I spend my time learning how to control my magic. I absolutely suck at it, but don't judge me It's just really tough, okay? How's a girl supposed to manage four dinosaur shifters, a sexy detective on high alert, and Albert Einswine, who continues to cause endless mischief and chaos? I'll tell you how-with lots of coffee, no sleep, and a possibly a slight detour into madness. Ignore the evil maniacal laughter. Maybe I'll feel better after a nap.

A week ago, if someone told me I'd be trying to talk a vampire into feeding from me... I would've laughed in their face. Love has a way of making people do crazy things. Zyon is my vampire soulmate, and I have the bite marks to prove it. But we have to keep our romance a secret... for now. I can't imagine being with anyone else, but the vampire queen commanded me to step back and pretend Zyon hasn't already claimed me as his mate. I swear, if I see one more woman fawn over him, I might just snap. The only reason I haven't lost it is because Zyon is making it very clear to every single person in the castle that he only wants me... so the vampire women trying to steal him away from me can suck it Adding to my list of worries is the way my body seems to have a mind of its own... as though something inside me is desperate to get out. I have a feeling that whatever is locked away isn't interested in playing nice with my soon-to-be vampire family. And did I mention I feel like I'm being watched? But that's impossible, right? Please Note- although this book does have women trying to catch Zyon's eye, he is quick to shut them down. There is no cheating and Zyon threatens to rip body parts off any females who dare to touch him. Please be sure to read the full sensitivity note before diving into this story. With a violent, obsessed stalker and a protective vampire prince with a beast-like form, some scenes are a bit wild and include darker elements (such as physical violence and death during attack/battle scenes).

Apparently, I'm a Dragoness. I knew I was worth more than minimum wage Suck it, haters. When my parents were murdered in cold blood, life became a shock in more ways than one. My parents were sheltering me, and for good reason. Not only am I a dragoness, but there's also a slightly insane sounding prophecy. Something powerful has been asleep inside of me, lurking in the shadows. My spine is tingling, how about yours? I'm supposed to save the world. But first, I have a score to settle. Oh, and to fulfill the prophecy, I'm supposed to take on a mate. Or... more accurately, mates. As in, more than one. My inner beast is super excited about taking on mates. Please don't encourage her. Werewolves, wizards, vampires, you name it, she's down to claim 'em. I'm going to get revenge. I'm going to win, no matter the cost. If you are in my way, you better move. Because nothing is going to stop me. Nothing. This queen's coming for her crown. The Dragon Goddess series follows Tia as she learns who she is, how to control her powers, and collects her fated mates along the journey. This is a paranormal romance featuring werewolves, wizards, elves, vampires.... and a sarcastically-gifted, dragon shifter There are fight scenes with violence. And did I mention the sex? The love making scenes in this book are probably best read when no one is looking over your shoulder... Tia's mates have great imaginations *wink wink* Sensitivity Note (Spoilers)- There are sections where Tia is held captive and treated horribly. There are no forced love scenes in this book, although there is a scene where she is tricked. This complete set includes the following three ebooks in the Dragon Goddess Series-Unexpected Shift (Book 1)Unexpected Mate (Book 2)Unexpected Heat (Book 3)

I'm a bunny shifter who has been claimed by the wolf shifters. Things are going to get hot...or dead. I'm determined to honor the memory of my family by respecting the rabbit shifter community's traditions. That is right up until I'm slapped in the face with an unexpected betrayal. The Elders are offering me up on a silver platter to the five male rabbit shifters whose favorite pastime is tormenting me. I can either be the rabbits' plaything or run from the Burrows and the only home I've ever known. I'm sick and tired of being the docile bunny I was brought up to be. It is time that people learn this bunny can bite, because I'm not taking anything from anybody from now on... Not even from the wolves that are breathing down my neck. Sure, the bunnies are under the wolves' protection, but these guys seem to have a taste for getting me all hot and bothered. Rabbit shifters and wolves will do business together, but personal relationships just aren't possible... Right? And to make matters worse, my spring heat is happening. Like, now. A female rabbit can't survive going through a heat alone, but can I trust these wolves to care for me when I'm at my most vulnerable? And what about afterwards? These predators are going to eat me alive...and I'm looking forward to it. Better-Off Bunny is a standalone within a series. This book contains some bullying, but not from Monroe's fated mates. The Hey There, Hop Stuff series will feature a different bunny shifter girl and her mates within the same community. Each girl will get her happy ending. The books can be read out of order, but the community and shifter communities will make slightly more sense if you read the books in order.

Stalker or vampire? The choice is yours, but if you make the wrong one... You die. He's spent months watching my every move. Stalking me from the shadows, waiting for the right moment. When he strikes, I'm not ready. I'm surrounded by strangers, and far from anyone who might have cared, or at the very least, noticed if I suddenly disappeared. He's closing the distance, leaving me with a terrifying choice: take my chances with my stalker, or seek help from a monster more powerful than him. Making the wrong choice could cost me my life. Risking it all, I throw myself at an extraordinarily handsome stranger. A stranger who just happens to be a vampire. He also happens to be the crown prince of vampires, and he's disgusted by humans. I haven't even been bitten yet, and my life already sucks. It's too late to rethink my plan, and I'm out of options. I beg the stranger to claim he knows me. Instead, the vampire claims me. But my stalker isn't ready to admit defeat, and the vampire I sought refuge with isn't willing to let me go. A stalker. A vampire. A choice that might end my life. SLTL is a new series by Sedona Ashe, writing under Darci R. Acula. This series focuses on Journee and her vampire mate (yes, this series has only one guy Don't worry, he's absolutely drool-worthy). This story has it all: a stalker, coming into power, vampire royalty, a protective mate, humor, heat, and eventually a HEA. For my naughty readers, this book is a medium burn that's worth the wait... and you better be ready, because once they get started, things really get spicy Journee's vampire mate falls in love with her the moment he meets her and will do anything to protect what is his. Note: Please be sure to read the full sensitivity note before diving into this story.

My name's Candi Cane and every eligible male in my pack is looking to get a lick this year. I'd rather die. Let's have a Christmas hunt, they said. It will be fun, they said. What 'they' didn't say was who they planned to hunt... or what the prize would be. Oh yeah, that would be me on both accounts. By 'they' I mean my father, Alpha of the Evergreen pack. He's taken things too far this Christmas Eve. My pack is obsessed with Christmas. Humans come from all over to see our Christmas village with no idea they're celebrating with werewolves. None of the Evergreen wolves are my fated mates, so naturally, I turn tail and run... right into the arms of the, erm, Anti-Christmas leader of the Brimstone pack, Alpha Coal. He's not known for his love of people. Who can blame him, though? The moon goddess must have a twisted sense of humor... because it turns out he's my fated mate.... And so is his beta. ... And his third in command. Just when I think things couldn't get worse, my attempt to shimmy down a chimney winds up with me stuck. How the heck does Santa do this? With wolves hunting me, three fated mates who hate Christmas, and my life falling apart, I'm not sure I can handle the secret that is about to be dropped on me... it just might be a Christmas Miracle. Mistletoe Mates is a 35k word Novella standalone with a happy ending. Please Note- Candi dealt with bullying (mainly when she was growing up), and some of that is discussed in this novella (there are references to her bully's treatment of her, and a scene where she recalls some of her past). There is no bullying from her fated mates This book features spice and the kind of hardwood that doesn't need to be set on fire to heat you up on a cold winter evening... if you catch my drift. *wink*
