Description from the publisher:
What happens when Loki falls for the one woman immune to his charms?

Val has spent the last hundred years doing two things, protecting Princess Sutrelle of Muspelheim from her father, and hating the Norse Gods who forced her and her Valkyrie sisters to fight in Ragnarök.

When she meets the God of Mischief at a Speed Dating event, the last thing she intends to do is fall for the man-whore, woman-using, Trickster God. But getting away from Loki isn’t as easy as she had hoped because despite him being irritating, vain, and stubborn, he’s also kind, understanding, and hotter than Hell itself.

Val has a decision to make—let go of the past and embrace what could be a fantastic future with a sexy, rich playboy God, or settle for someone that the Fates didn’t have in mind for her and save her heart from the possibility of the heartbreak of a lifetime.

Loki is book seventeen in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld shared world, filled with angst, revenge, arrogant trickster Gods, strong-willed warrior women, and more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOKI is the seventeenth book in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld series.  They will each stand on their own, but I highly recommend reading them all.
 
I loved it. The ending is so beautiful. It's the kind where I just close my eyes, smile, and bask in the love between Loki and Val! I especially loved that it parallels Thor's story AND sets us up to expect Fenrir's!

Description from the publisher:
A young alien ruler certain he'll never find his mate.
A young woman kidnapped and held in a tower.
A secret plan destined to change Earth.
 
As the youngest of the ruling brothers, rebellious and slightly spoiled Prince Rawklix is the only one left without a mate, and he isn’t too eager to find one, preferring to enjoy the pleasures offered by his kingdom. But when Nora—the arch-nemesis of the Trilyn—appears on live television and introduces her daughter, Laura, he becomes entranced by the beautiful young woman and is determined to meet her.

Laura has spent her life locked away in The Tower by Nora being told it’s for her own protection. But Laura longs for life and romance in the wide outside world. When she receives a message from a secret suitor, she’s thrilled at the prospect of escaping her captivity.

But Nora isn’t going to let the girl so easily and sets out to end the relationship between Laura and Prince Rawklix. The true depths and motivations behind her hatred of the Trilyn are finally revealed as she is willing to go to any lengths to ensure her ultimate plan is carried out.

Will Prince Rawklix be able to free his love from her tower, or will the plan of the Trilyn’s ultimate enemy mean the end of love for the final ruling brother?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ALIEN RAPUNZEL is the seventh book in the Trilyn Alien Fairy Tales series.  I have not read any other books in the series, and this did stand on its own.
 
I absolutely adored this retelling of Rapunzel.  I love the personal and relational growth for Prince Rawklix and Laura.
 
There are great AI characters and futuristic transportation (alien technology?). 
 
I’ve already read this twice and this will definitely be read again.  I smile every time I think of the adventure towards their HEA.

HOODWINKED AT HALLOWEEN by Rebekah R. Ganiere

Title:  HOODWINKED AT HALLOWEEN
Series:  Otherworlder #4
Author:  Rebekah R. Ganiere
Publisher:  Samhain Publishing, Ltd.
Publish Date:   10.06.2022
Category /Genre:  Paranormal Romance
Recommended for:  18+
Grammar/editing:  book received as an unedited ARC copy/ errors excused

Goodreads link:  Hoodwinked at Halloween

Description from the publisher:
She's the Outcast no one wants - until they get into trouble.
 
Raine’s a Fae with no magic. Banished to live among “Mundanes” in the Human world she works as a Private Investigator for Otherworlders. But when she, Jordan, and Sam wake up on the stage, in the main tent of a mysterious, magical traveling Carnivale they can’t leave- she has some work to do.
 
Raine is tasked with figuring out what is wrong with the Carnivale. Why have women gone missing? Who is stealing from the Carnies? And most of all- why has the Carnivale not been able to move out of the secret grove for over two months.
 
Time is short for Raine as provisions in the Carnivale are down to the bottom of the barrel, and the carnies are ready to turn on her if she can’t figure out the problem fast. But it's not easy for Raine to concentrate on the problem when a sexy hot tigeress shifter has her sights on Jordan- and she's willing to go to any lengths to get him for herself.
 
Hoodwinked at Halloween is a fun, lighthearted Paranormal Mystery for those who love Kristen Painter's Nocturne Falls and Jayne Frost Series.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HOODWINKED AT HALLOWEEN is the fourth book in the Otherworlder series.  They will each stand on their own, but I highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release.
 
This series gets better with every book.  I love Jordan’s devotion to Raine and the way it is emphasized when a were-tigress is presented, but he still has eyes only for his Raine.

  The snarky dialogue between the chihuahua sized dragon, Sam, and his “parents” is adorable and belly-laugh-able. The situations are unique.  This series never feels like the same old, same old and I enjoy every page of reading.
 
Our next holiday adventure will be New Years Eve.  I hope we never run out of holiday ideas for Raine and her family of loveable misfits.
