1. Hardmated is book six in the Shifters Unbound Series by Jennifer Ashley and also a great standalone. I read book four, Bodyguard, in the Dark and Deadly anthology, and was intrigued by Spike, who played a supporting role. This is his story and I loved it.2.  The Mating Hunt is book two in the Montana Werewolves Series by Bonnie Vanak and a good standalone.  Book One, also good,  is in the Dark and Deadly anthology.3. Embrace the Dark by Caris Roane is book one of the Blood Rose Series and another good standalone. Trapped, book one of the Blood Rose Tales, shorts, is included in the Dark and Deadly anthology.  Both are about mastyr vampires who find their perfect match, are great reads, and are an excellent way to begin an exciting journey through the nine realms.4. Assassins Touch is Book One in the Iron Portal Series by Laurie London. Book Two, Rogues Passion is included in the Dark and Deadly anthology. Both are very good and can stand  alone. After a cataclysmic earthquake, Seattle is rebuilt and renamed New Seattle. The Pacifican army stays behind, however, to fight Cascadian warriors they say attack the city after entering  through hidden Iron Portals.  And the Pacificans  will do anything to keep the truth from getting out.5.  Shadow Bound is the first book in the Shadow Series by Erin Kellison. A demon has slipped through the veil and is creating an army of wraiths, humans who have become indestructible soul stealers.  Only one being can stop them, Shadowman, and he has been bound. Adam, consumed by a need for vengeance, and Talia, a fae banshee, are humanity's only hope for survival.  This book can stand alone.6. Seduce is Book Three in the Vampire Erotic Theater Series by Felicity Heaton, and can stand alone. Sera, a young elite vampire, has set her sights on Antoine, an ancient aristocrat and partner in the VET. Sera knows she will have only one chance to seduce him, but she has no idea of the depth of the secrets he carries. Book Five, Bewitched, is included in the Dark and Deadly anthology and is another excellent story that can stand alone.This collection is a fantastic bargain. I love being introduced to new authors, and to others I have read before, but the books are new. It is a definite Wow!!  I was sorry it ended.
