Description from the publisher:

He's found his fated mate.
If only he could remember her…

When Shane meets Bekah, and his wolf claims her, all the broken pieces of his life finally snap into place. He's ready to settle down, but his witch band mates have fame on their minds and a sinister plan to achieve it.

No werewolf in his right mind would agree to summoning a demon to help them achieve stardom.

And if Shane's not with them, he's a liability…

All single mom Bekah wants from Shane is a one-night-stand with the sexy musician to help find the woman in her she's lost. Though their sizzling chemistry and his promises of tomorrow are enticing, she's not surprised when he ghosts her.

Until he shows up at her café with no idea who she is or how he got there.

Neither can deny their soul-deep connection, but an unknown menace has followed Shane to New Orleans. If he can't recover his memory, his fated mate—and the entire pack—will be in danger.

Can Bekah help Shane remember his past? Or will both their futures be in peril?

If you like hot musicians and fated mates, you'll love this page-turning paranormal romance!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A SONG TO REMEMBER is the fifth book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series and the third in the multiauthor Mystifying Music series.  This story will stand completely on its own, but there is some interaction with the characters from the Crescent City Wolf Pack series.

You know how sometimes authors seem to say “but what if I do this or this to keep our romantic couple apart” just to drive you batty.  Yea, that’s what Carrie did this time.  I was BLEEDING for Shane and Bekah!  And don’t even get me started on Shane’s bandmates.  I’m sure you’ll join me in the witch burning brigade there! (Hey, some of my best friends are witches, but these ones have got to go!) 

Now, you know that a book that makes me feel that passionately is just plain wonderful.  The story is supposed to make you feel and this one did with every page. 

Just like Shane, I loved my trip from Orlando to New Orleans.  I look forward to my next trip to the Big Easy with Carrie Pulkinen.

MISADVENTURES WITH A TIME TRAVELER by Angel Payne

Title:  MISADVENTURES WITH A TIME TRAVELER

Series:  Misadventures #27
Author:  Angel Payne
Publisher:  Waterhouse Press
Publish Date:   11.26.2019
Category /Genre:  Contemporary Romance
Recommended for:  18+ due to sexual content

Description from the publisher:

Workaholic Allie Fine isn’t thrilled about a surprise birthday trip to the French countryside, where there’s nothing to do but drink wine and tour old castles.  But boredom takes a hike when a sexy period actor shows up to be her special between-the-sheets gift.

Maximillian De Leon, the towering god with eyes of gold and pecs of steel, is the most incredible lover she’s ever had.  But Allie wakes with confusion when her French lover tells her he’s actually Prince Maximillian, and he hasn't seen the light of day since 1789.

Crazy or not, Max De Leon is the hottest man Allie’s ever met—and the perfect piece on her arm to impress the corporate brass and take her career to the next level.  So what if he keeps claiming he has to marry her to break a centuries-old curse in order to stay alive.  He’ll get over that soon enough…right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MISADVENTURES WITH A TIME TRAVELER is the twenty-seventh release in the multi-author Misadventures series.  Each is a standalone, steamy romance. 

Buckle-up Buttercup, this one is a fast ride and you will not want to put it down until you reach the end.  Let me tell you, the end is amazing.  Though a bit reminiscent of Back to the Future, it is worth the nostalgia.  Until then, you better know your contemporary slang or catch on quickly!

This story absolutely took my breath away.  Max is not just intelligent, but quick to understand the new world he has stepped into.. or should I say he has stepped out of the wardrobe and into this new world. 

Allie has been so hurt by life that she resists the feelings stealing her breath away.  I was shaking my Kindle, as I wanted to shake her.  Doesn’t she see what a gem this man is?  He is her soul mate who crossed 230 years just to get to her gorgeous curves!

It was beautiful watching Allie and Max falling in love, even if she couldn’t say the words.

Max demonstrates what true love is… repeatedly… until his last breath.

This timeless couple was meant to be and I am so glad I didn’t miss reading their story.

DRAGONSWORN by Marty Mayberry

Title:  DRAGONSWORN

Series:  Outling #2

Author:  Marty Mayberry

Publisher:  Hummingbird Press

Publish Date:   11.20.2019

Category /Genre:  YA, Fantasy

Recommended for:  12 – 18

Grammar/editing:  received as an unedited ARC / errors excused

Received from:  Marty Mayberry

Goodreads link: Dragonsworn

Date completed: 11.23.2019

Description from the publisher:

I survived Orientation at Crystal Wing Academy—barely—and now it’s time to learn how to control my power.

After destroying a power-sucking slake before he killed my friends, I’m feeling stronger and more confident than ever.

Donovan and I are together, I’m pulling in more threads than before, and I have new abilities I’m excited to master… So, I might be flunking Magical Creatures & How to Tame Them.  Not everything comes easy, right?

When I stumble over a dead girl—one of eight Outlings at the Academy—and she’s marked with an O and a #7, it’s clear someone’s copycatting the Outling murders that took place one hundred years ago.

With the clock ticking down and more Outlings turning up dead, I’ll soon be next.  Last time, every Outling at the Academy was murdered.

But the killer is about to learn this Outling wizard won’t go down without a fight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

DRAGONSWORN is the second book in the three-book Outling series.  The author says that while each book contains an individual story, there's an overarching plot connecting all three books/the series.  You'll better enjoy book two, if you've read book one.  I agree and I would encourage you to read both of these books if you enjoy suspense, sweet romance, and magic.  Don’t just read one or the other!

There is enough darkness to keep the older YA intrigued, but not enough to make the younger YA have nightmares.  This is a fine edge to keep on that Moonstone Dagger that I suspect Marty Mayberry may have strapped to her own thigh.

With plenty of fantastical creatures and humor the story is a quick-paced magical adventure with just a sprinkling of age-appropriate romance

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
