Description from the publisher:
Princess Affina of the Saber Mountain clan spent the first twenty years of her life in the safe comfort of her father's palace. But after being forced from their home by another saber clan and having been on the run for over a year, her father pushes her through a portal to Earth, stranding her on the strange new planet full of too many people, too many sights, and too many temptations. But Gerri Wilder has the perfect way to fix Affina's problems. Put her in the care of fellow sabertooth Mr. Razor Edge.

Raze grew up a slave in the Saber Mountain clan, paying for the sins of his parents and fighting to gain his place. But on the night the pack was attacked Affina's father handed him a chest full of jewels and sent him to secure a new domicile. Razor has been a lone saber for over a decade- and he hasn't wasted any time becoming rich, powerful and his own Alpha. The only thing missing is a mate of his own; a problem not even the best matchmaker in the universe has been able to remedy – until now.

When Affina arrives to find her best friend Razor is not only alive but thriving she's overjoyed, but Raze the man is not Razor the teen who spent his nights with her under the stars. As Affina tries to acclimate to her new life on Earth she and Raze must fight the memories of their pasts to allow the mating bond they now feel to guide their hearts.

But just as they finally give into their passion, they discover that the clan that destroyed their people isn't done with either of them quite yet.

TAMED UNDER THE MOON is the fourth book in the Wolf River series and was also released as TAMING HIS SABER in the multi-author Paranormal Dating Agency series.
 
This story is beautifully romantic.  I read it in one day and I loved it!  Shifters are even better when they come from off-world.  Razor has been on earth for a decade as a lone shifter, but he has never forgotten Affina. 
 
Leave it to Gerri Wilder to reunite Razor and Affina when the time was right.  They are ready to rebuild their clan here on Earth.  I never wanted it to end… bring on the cubs!

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.

Mardi Gras is the annual blood drive for the Vampires of the East Coast. But when Mundanes are found slaughtered in the streets, Raine is hired by the head Vampire family to discover who is behind the murders.

The Vampires think it's the Shifters. The Shifters think it's the Vampires. And the Voodoo Priestesses say it could be zombies. But is it something else entirely?

As Raine investigates, she finds the case more complex than expected. Between every creature wanting a taste of her, Sam having to walk around in disguise, and Slade showing up dressed like a Fairy Godmother, she thinks she has her hands full- until a new ally becomes more trouble than they are worth.

Time is running out, and Raine must stop the murderer before Mardi is canceled. Because if she doesn't, when the blood stores dry up for the Vampires, the entire United States will have an even bigger problem than a dozen dead partiers.
 
Massacre at Mardi Gras is a fun, lighthearted Paranormal Mystery for those who love Kristen Painter's Nocturne Falls and Jayne Frost Series.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MASSACRE AT MARDI GRAS is the third 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.
 
A wonderfully interesting take on why vampires are drawn to Mardi Gras and how voodoo plays a part.
 
I love Raine and the family she has made in the Mundane world.  Of course, everyone who reads these books falls in love with Sam.  He is the teenage, chihuahua of dragons and, oh-boy, do I know about demanding chihuahuas!  I can just imagine mine breathing fire and making little dragon ultimatums.
 
Rebekah Ganiere is a perfect example of why I believe authors are rock stars!  I recommend this story for anyone who loves to laugh, enjoys a bit of cozy mystery, and wants a feel-good romance with fun, flirt, and a fantastic familiar.

Description from the publisher:
Raine’s a Fae with no magic. Banished to live among “Mundanes” in the human world she works as an Inquisitor for Otherworlders. And she is having a very bad start to her New Year!

Her dragon Sam wants a girlfriend. Her weretiger boyfriend Jordan is being strangely hormonal. And old enemies are emerging from the woodwork, forbidding Slade, her only friend, from giving her any magical assistance.

Things start to look up when Cupid offers Raine a job with a fat paycheck - if, before Valentine's Day, she finds the person screwing with his dating service and getting his clients killed.

But Raine isn’t the only one trying to figure out what's going on. The Guardians have their eyes trained on Raine. And as the Otherworlder version of the Secret Police, she can't afford to get on their bad side.

Raine must discover who wants Cupid to close his doors for good, and deal with Jordan's sudden need to take a Valentine's Day trip to Vegas, all while trying to keep herself off of everyone's hit list.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

VIGILANTE AT VALENTINE is the second book in the Otherworlder series.  They will be best loved if you read them in the order of release.  This story was previously released as CUPID’S CURSE.
 
Cupid’s Dating Service seems to be under a curse and it’s leading to death!  Cupid contacts Raine to help him before Valentine’s Day.  There is also a bit of added information about Raine’s parents – who they are, why they don’t help her, and the added stresses they put on her.  I’d thumb my nose at them too if I were her!
 
I love Raine’s boyfriend, Jordon.  He’s sexy, sweet, and he’s willing to go to the mats for her.
 
The story is sweet and engaging.  It kept me entertained and spell-bound from beginning to end.  The humor is exciting and the mystery is well plotted out.  I look forward to more holidays with Raine and her friends.

Description from the publisher:
World's first woman. World's first vampire. World's worst at finding love.

Lilith doesn't believe in soulmates. If she couldn't make it work with the man she was literally created for, how could they possibly exist?

She goes to speed dating on the hunt for a man to quench her thirst. What she finds instead will either rock her world or be the final stake in the Queen of the Night.

Owl shifter Spencer has learned his lesson with powerful women. After his last girlfriend derailed his career and nearly destroyed him, he'd rather have his feathers plucked one by one than let another woman sink her talons into his heart.

When his sister convinces him to go to speed dating, he can't deny his attraction to the gorgeous crimson-haired vampire who captures his attention. But he refuses to get burned again.

Can two people who don't believe in love find happiness together? Or will their colliding worlds go up in flames?

Lilith is book fifteen in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld shared world, filled with sultry vampires, sexy shifters, and more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LILITH is the fifteenth book in the multi-author Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld series.  Each is a stand-alone paranormal romance.
 
I knew nothing about Lilith before reading this story.  So, for me, there was a lot of “first woman?  Huh?  What about Eve?  She’s friends with Eve now – thousands of years later – but what happened in the garden??????  I guess I’ll be doing some research after the book.  This did not take away from this story, it just made me more curious about the part of the biblical story that I don’t yet know.
 
Now, about Lilith and Spencer. 
 
I love Spencer and his job.  An owl-shifter working as a cameraman on a show to hunt for cryptids (where the host is bigfoot) while never revealing their own.  What a hoot!  (See what I did there? Tee hee hee)
 
Lilith is an amazing character.  I think I would like her and her whole friend group.
 
I loved this story and was sorry to leave this world.  Carrie Pulkinen gave us the (long) list of coming stories in this series and I hope to be able to read many, many of them!
