They rule Moscow's seedy underworld, promising untold pleasure to the females who date to mate them. That promise—and Brends Duranov's own raw sexual power—has hopefuls mobbing the velvet rope outside his elite club G2's. But Mischka Baran has no intention of hooking up with one of the Fallen. Not even after Brends gives her an unforgettable taste of the sin and seduction he can deliver with those wicked lips.

Review:
This book gave me everything I enjoy reading in a paranormal romance novel. I enjoyed the creatures the author created and the romance between the Brends and Mischka was hot. Typical alpha male and typical submissive female leads put together with entertaining action and story line really hit the spot for me. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of the books by this author.

With the ultimate alpha male hero-werewolf Finn Emerson, Navy SEAL-bestselling author Terry Spear ratchets up the heat in the new installment in her hugely popular paranormal romance series.
While her brother is away, Meara Greymere intends to play-she just has to find the right alpha male. But when old friend Finn Emerson arrives, she's horrified he'll tell her brother what she's been up to.
Finn Emerson is on the trail of a murderous gray werewolf and fears his friend's sister is in grave danger. He's just going to have to settle in and keep the sexy woman out of trouble.

Review:
This is book 9 in Terry Spear's Werewolf Romance series. BOOK NINE... I just realized how far in this series this title is and really... I have to say that I am impressed. I am impressed that the author was able to tell an enjoyable story about the attraction between the two characters while doing a great job of building the world the character's live in. I understood the plot, got a glimpse of the history, and even though I could tell there was more to the story than was being told in this book (hence it being a series) I didn't feel like I was missing anything big enough to ruin the read. Finn was great great as the alpha male and fun to read about and I love that Meara was a strong feminine match for him. I haven't read any other books by Terry Spear but I am definitely putting the first book on my wishlist.

A STRANGER IN THE NIGHT...
He had once been a warrior of the Light, one of the revered Paladin. A protector. But now he lives in darkness, and the shadows are his sanctuary. Every day is a struggle to overcome the bloodlust. Especially the day Karissa shows up at his doorstep.
COMES KNOCKING ON THE DOOR
She is light and bright and everything beautiful—despite her scratches and torn clothes. Every creature of the night is after her. So is every male Paladin. Because Karissa is the last female of their kind. But she is his. He may not have a soul, but he can't deny his heart.

Review:
I finished this one in one night. I definitely recommend and I will be keeping an eye out for the next in the series. The story hit all the high notes for me and had all the elements of what I like in a paranormal romance. The love story was achingly sweet and I was able to connect with both characters and I am looking forward to finding out who will star in the next book.
I could see this becoming a favorite series and I am hungry for more.
