Akane should have learned her lesson about sorcerers and humans years ago when she was cursed to walk as a human instead of her true form. But when she meets sorcerer Paul Donovan and his adorable husband, fox dual Taggart Ross, she not only asks them for help with her curse, but ends up falling for each. When Taggart is kidnapped, Akane feels the distress though she is thousands of miles away. Loving mortals is dangerous to her, but not loving them isn’t an option either.

“Foxes’ Den” has a lot going for it. The three main characters are markedly different, especially the two men, so the relationship has real dynamic. The sex scenes start intense with more ritualistic, spell related couplings, but as the story progresses, the affection and love between the characters show much more and is wonderful to see. It’s a quick, sexy read with action and just enough back story for me to really want to go pick up the first story and get in line for the 3^rd when it’s ready. Paranormal lovers who enjoy some sexy ménage will really enjoy this one.

Leaving a well-respected position as a physical therapist for a temporary career as a barmaid, Jaden Monroe, finds herself and her rehabilitation services being requested for by multi-millionaire Adam Steele and his teenage daughter, Emily. But fighting the immediate attraction she feels for Adam is heavy on Jaden's mind since at her previous position she became involved with the father of a patient and it ended on a sour note.

The million dollar compensation Jaden is offered for the employment will go towards the completion of her previous employer's expansion of a physical therapy department.

Fiesty and strong-willed Jaden breaks down Emily's stubbornness to walk again all the while fighting the building sexual tension between herself and Adam. Jaden is still reeling from her collapsed relationship and discharge from the hospital while Adam is dealing with feelings of desertion from Emily's mother.

Eventually the duo give into the carnal desires with sparks flying when Adam becomes too protective of Emily. The conflict causes Jaden to leave now that the young girl is rehabilitated. Can the lovers find their way back to each other before losing each other completely?

No Matter What is well written and descriptive book with instant sexual tension being felt the very first page. A definitely must read for every romantic individual.

Sexy Sicilian businessman Raul Niccolo Stregone knows and gets what he wants, and he wants revenge. If that means destroying a hapless innocent along the way, so be it. Nina Avalon is just as determined to thwart his plans to own a portion of her family’s company while protecting her seriously ill father. When her brother Carl insists she step up as his representative in a high stakes poker game, she finds herself in over her head with an arrogant man who just happens to push all the right buttons despite his less than honorable intentions.

Play Me offers a battle of wills from the start. Raul and Nina play off one another with enough sexual tension to start a fire. Though I found Nina’s motivation for sacrifice slightly uncharacteristic for an otherwise strong woman—even she admits that it is illogical—it made me feel for her rather than see her character as flawed. Raul on the other hand starts off as a truly arrogant rogue until his motivation is revealed and his underlying nature comes to the forefront, allowing readers to embrace him despite or perhaps because of his faults. The question becomes will Nina forgive him his mistakes or forever judge him for the way he played his hand. Tricia Jones has written another compelling story that romance fans will embrace. Though the darkly handsome and overly arrogant Raul may be a bit of a cliché Play Me’s alluring tug of war kept me engaged start to finish. Definitely a keeper.
