Review: Great Assortment of Paranormal Romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

Wolf Protector by Milly Taiden is the first book in the Federal Paranormal Unit series. This story was very enjoyable with lots of humor, action, mystery, hot romance and of course, paranormal abilities. The romance didn't overwhelm the story and the sex wasn't extremely explicit. The author did a good job of giving enough information about the main characters so you can understand their actions and feelings. I will be checking into more by this author and hopefully more stories will be coming in this series.Why These Two by Jackie Ivie is the 11th book in the Vampire Assassin League series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. The main characters have so much in common, they both love playing with really sharp objects! The romance is hot, but is not explicit or overly descriptive. This has everything I love in a book, romance, action, humor and paranormal elements. I am already hooked on this series and can't wait to read more of them!Death Times Two by C.J. Ellisson and Boone Brux is part of the VV Inn series. It is written in first person and switches between the two main characters. Even though it clearly states when it switches between people, I had a hard time keeping track of which person was the "I" at the moment.  The story was very exciting and the romance hot.  I wish there was a HEA ending for this couple, but maybe there is one planned for them in the future.Hunter's Blood by Marianne Morea is the first story in the Cursed by Blood Saga. This story was exciting and very intense suspense. The story kept building and building and then it ended. At the conclusion, the hero and heroine are together, but the tension remains because you don't know if they will be able to stay together and there wasn't a resolution to the major conflict. The author did an excellent job of making you want to read the next books in the series so you can find out what happens next.A Wicked Prelude by Calinda B is the Wicked Series Prequel. I found this story to be confusing.  It seems to jump around between characters. There wasn't much world building and that probably added to my confusion. Hopefully this confusion is cleared up as the series progresses. There was lots of dialog between characters and not much action going on. ****Possible Spoiler**** If you are bothered by reading a sex scene between the heroine and someone other than the hero, you will want to skip reading this story.Dragon's Honor by Mina Carter is book six in the Paranormal Protection Agency series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I am assuming that book is more enjoyable if the other books are read first. Intelligent heroine and alpha hero create a hot romance together and the secondary character of the hero's brother is pretty funny with all his quirks. Humor, action, romance and the paranormal make this a great read. I look forward to reading other books in this series.Playing the Odds by S.A. Price is the first book in the Take a Gamble series. It revolves around the Las Vegas and gambling. There is a little action, a little humor and lots of steamy romance. This is all about a hero and a heroine that find that very special someone who makes them feel complete. This is a very fast read and you don't really get to know the characters well, but it is an entertaining story. It was interesting to get this little glimpse into the gambling world.Nibbled by the Vamp by Celia Kyle is the first book in the Knight Protectors series. There is enough world building here that you don't feel totally confused while reading this story. It introduces what appears to be a major story arc that will continue in future books. There is a hot romance between a vampire and a human. The hero is very alpha and the heroine, well, she is very talkative both out loud and in her thoughts. This makes for some great humor.*I received an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
