Dust of my Wings (book #1)- I love the premise of these books. What a fabulous way to start a series! The seven girlfriends are all together at their favorite hangout when there is a bad storm and all of them get struck by lightning. The mayhem that this causes is the basis for this series. Lily is a wonderful heroine with great quirks that are funny to read about. I would love to have her as a friend. She and her friends are so loyal to each other it is very heartwarming to read about. It must be so comforting to have friends that you trust so much that you have absolutely no hesitations about calling on them to help with a life or death situation.Shade on the other hand needs wacking upside the head for most of the story. He is so drop dead sexy and sweet but at the same time. . .the frustrating thing here is that I can't tell you why I wanted to wack him as it would lead to spoilers. On the other side of the coin, he is one of the most empathetic alphas I've ever read about! I loved how he dealt with Lily through the confusion and pain that his TSTL moments caused. I know, that sounds confusing, you'll just have to read the story to find out what I'm talking about.Her Warriors' Three Wishes (book #2)- With the opening of this book, Carrie Ann takes us along with her on this hell-raising adventure. And a rollicking, angst ridden adventure it is. I have never considered a demon as a possible hero before. I have pretty much avoided anything with 'demon' in the titles. It took one of my favorite authors writing about them to entice me to read a book with demons in it.I'm very glad that I succumbed to temptation! Carrie has a special gift for allowing a reader to empathize with her characters. I wanted to hug them all to soothe their hurts and say "There, there, it will be OK". It isn't just the MCs either. In just a few sentences she had me caring about secondary characters and what their roll will be in the series. For instance, I can't wait to read about Hunter and his story because you know he is going to be involved with one of the other women.Jaimie, Ambrose, and Balin work so well together! How Carrie manages to make a relationship between these disparate people work, I have no idea but I'm happy to be along for the ride. They each have their TSTL moments, but the other 2 help them deal with them and I loved how supportive and loving Ambrose was with Balin.Before I finish up this review, I want to tell you two last things. 1- This book has absolutely the least romantic first sexual encounter I have ever read. 2- This book has absolutely one of the most sensual, hot, panty wetting first sexual encounters I have ever read. How is it possible for it to be both things at once you ask? You'll just have to read it and see.An Unlucky Moon (Book 3)- Hunter, the wolf from book 2, and Becca are the MCs of this book. I really liked Hunter and I'm so glad he got his own story. I enjoyed how well Carrie lets us know why he is dysfunctional. He tries so hard with Becca and it is so sweet watching the 2 of them trying to understand each other. There is a lot of tension in this book. I wasn't sure how Carrie was going to top a trip into hell from book 2, but she does it by delving into the characters of this story and having a great story line. I'm not sure what else to say without spoilers so I'll just end this review with my highest recommendation for you to go get this book and start it right away.I LOVED all three of these books!
