— 5 Stars from Anna, Amazon Review

“Must-read. I loved this book.”

— 5 Stars from Melissa, Amazon Review

“This was the best short story I have read of fated mates and one getting a second chance. They fit together perfectly and the story was paced so perfectly that nothing felt rushed.”

— 4 Stars from Jessica P., Amazon Review

“I enjoyed reading this engrossing story with its ups and downs and seeing them get a happy ending.”

— 5 Stars from Barbara, Kobo Review

“This was an engaging read that had lots of hot chemistry. With mystery, danger, drama and steam, I enjoyed following Olivia and Torren to their HEA. This is a second chance romance for Torren because his first mate, a chosen mate, was murdered. Olivia gets beaten almost to death and only his mating bite will save her… This is a fast-paced fated-mates romance that I really enjoyed.”

— 5 Stars from LBing, Barnes & Noble Review

“It was a good story, kept you guessing and wondering who, what, when and how. I enjoy the FMC and her fighting back… Overall great book, fast read and a HEA.”

BEER TRUCK (ROOSTERS) by Emily Carrington
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3512

“This is a second chance at love story. Terry and Harvey became lovers as teens but Terry refused to be openly gay. Twenty years later Terry is back in town for treatment and reconnects with Harvey. Their HEA has to deal with prejudice, fear of losing a career, friends being there for support and finally showing their love. This is a not to be missed story.”

https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2979

“I enjoyed reading this book, I couldn’t put it down. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters, I thought it was well written. I can’t wait to read more from [this] author.”

— 5 Stars from Bee Sue, Barnes & Noble Review

“I love BDSM, and this story sold me. Living the lifestyle, I look for books to escape and lose myself in the story. Gale Stanley filled that and more.”

— 4 Stars from Nicole, Booksprout Review

THE BRAT (ROOSTERS) by Megan Slayer
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3786

“Let me just say this: The Brat Roosters is pure, delicious chaos—and I devoured every page like it was my favorite guilty pleasure snack. Megan Slayer knows how to bring heat, humor, and heart all into one spicy, fast-paced package. The Brat Roosters isn’t just a love story—it’s a full-on flirt-fest, wrapped in leather, laced with danger, and topped off with a heroine you love to cheer for and a hero who makes gruff look good.
If you’re in the mood for sass, steam, and a battle of wills that’ll leave you fanning yourself and smiling like a brat who got her way—this one’s for you.”

— 5 Stars from Rebel Lee, Amazon Review

“…perfect. I love that he doesn’t try to change her from being a brat or taking charge. And that she also lets him lead as well.”

— 5 Stars from Jessica P., Amazon Review

“Betty Ann is chaos that is allowed to do anything by her father. When her life is threatened Sarge is charged with protecting her. He’s all rules and order. Enjoyed their clashing interactions and story.”

— 5 Stars from Gail, Amazon Review

“Betty Ann and Sarge’s short story is well written with a good storyline, great characters and a happy ending. I enjoyed reading.”

— 4 Stars from Barbara, Kobo Review

“Fun read and the story was great. He definitely was a brat but he still wanted her. Chemistry and romance was good and kept me hooked.”

— 5 Stars from Booklover1, Barnes & Noble Review

“This book is full of troubled emotions, an attraction that won’t be denied and a happy ending. This was a good story.”

— 4 Stars from C LEE D, Barnes & Noble Review

BUNNY’S F*CKFEST by Wanda Violet O.
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3788

“…a ton of spice. And boy is it steamy! The characters in this book are happy and having a lot of fun. If you’re into this type of read, then I would definitely recommend this shortie.”

— 5 Stars from T Roberts, Booksprout Review

FRIAR (RECKLESS KINGS MC 7) by Harley Wylde
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3789

“When Cheri and her unborn child are threatened by an unknown person Friar and the Reckless Kings MC will stop at nothing to make sure they are safe. Highly recommend for a nicely paced, lighter touch her and die (not full dark romance), with a wonderful HEA.”

— 5 Stars from ASmiley22, Barnes & Noble Review

“This was an awesome read from start to finish — Cheri and Friar’s book was chef’s kiss… a wonderfully sweet and action-packed seventh novel in the Reckless Kings MC series, written with Harley’s signature voice and prose. Another not to be missed novel!”

— 5 Stars from Alibas, Barnes & Noble Review

“Wow, just wow! Be prepared to sit on the edge of your seat because this is a heart-racing, intense and wild ride to go on. Friar and Cheri’s journey wasn’t easy, there were plenty of obstacles to overcome but the deep connection they developed held them together and made them stronger. I lost myself in the characters and the pages. I enjoyed every single moment of this story and I didn’t want it to end. Fantastic story!”

— 5 Stars from A. Fernandez, Amazon Review

“Friar and Cheri truly grabbed my heart and pulled me right into their ever-changing, gray-colored, overly protected world. Their relationship is a rollercoaster of emotions, but in the end, it’s the kind of love story that sticks with you long after the last page.”

— 5 Stars from Dawn, Amazon Review

“I think Friar and Cheri both were surprised at the depth of their love and how quickly it grew. Friar is an absolutely fantastic age gap read, is completely consuming and an absolute must read.”

— 5 Stars from GKP2460, Amazon Review

“Amazing story… I loved Friar and Cheri. The story was so real and [a] great storyline with how Friar never questioned, he stood up to be a great man… sexual chemistry and suspenseful drama, a must read. Love the Reckless Kings series.”

— 5 Stars from Cheryl, Amazon Review

“There is club drama, a whole lot of action, and some steam in this story. They’re all great, but the way Cheri and Friar grow together emotionally really hits you right in the heart. I really enjoyed this addition to the Reckless Kings.”

— 5 Stars from Jen, Amazon Review

“Loved Friar and Cheri! It’s been nice going back to the Reckless Kings.”

— 5 Stars from Melissa, Amazon Review

“Cheri and Friar have a fun night together that has lasting consequences? Or is it consequences? This life altering event brings them back into each other’s orbits, especially given Cheri’s family and their beliefs. As always Ms Harley gives us an older man who is set in his ways but eventually becomes mush for his woman.”

— 5 Stars from Nina, Amazon Review

“Don’t miss it! Cheri pays a high price with her family for one night of fun. Friar, who never intended to take an ol’lady or have a family, didn’t hesitate to step up. She’s young and naïve and he’s weathered and been around the block but together they make an awesome couple. I can’t wait to see who’s next!”

— 5 Stars from Julianna, Amazon Review

THE LOVELACE PROTOCOLS (EMPIRE OF THE SKY 7) by Mikala Ash
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3785

“…it was an interesting read and connected with the characters right away and was interested in the story. The spice was right and fit into the story just right.”

— 4 Stars from Jessica P., Amazon Review

“This novella is interesting, it’s nicely written and spicy. The characters proved to be interesting and unique.”

— 4 Stars from Anna, Amazon Review

“…very witty. I really enjoyed reading this book.”

— 5 Stars from Deedee, Kobo Review

MATING SEASON by Anne Kane
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2278

“Is there any shifter sexier than a panther? This collection of were-panther shifter stories is beyond steamy with alpha cats and independent women who can hold their own.”

— 5 Stars from Goodigirl, Amazon Review

“I enjoyed reading these and recommend them to sci-fi and spice lovers.”

— 4 Stars from Madhatter831, Amazon Review

“This 70 plus year old lady enjoyed reading these hot and spicy stories that are well written. All the characters were interesting and the males sounded hot . Happy reading.”

— 5 Stars from Anna, Amazon Review

“Mating Season was an enjoyable read. Then comes Danika. A powerful character who grows in this story. Very enjoyable.”

— 5 Stars from Leslie, Amazon Review

“A very enjoyable trio of stories that has action, spicy times and a little bit of everything else. Really good storylines and characters.”

— 5 Stars from Gail, Amazon Review

“The women arrive on the Black Planet as fugitives, skeptics, and survivors, each resistant to the idea of mating and what it represents. But as they confront instinct, danger, and emotional vulnerability, they discover that real strength isn’t about isolation, and surrender doesn’t mean giving up control. Love in these stories is both fated and chosen, built on trust, equality, and the courage to let someone in.”

— 4 Stars from Kymagirl, Kobo Review

“I really enjoyed that there was a story behind the sex scenes. Really sweet stories of we’re-panthers and sassy women.”

— 4 Stars from Christina, Kobo Review

MEMPHIS HEAT by Marteeka Karland and Shelby Morgen
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2354

“Let me tell y’all something—I dove into Memphis Heat expecting some supernatural spice and maybe a little gritty crime drama. What I got? Full-throttle, bullets flyin’, claws-out, sweat-slicked adrenaline with a side of primal heat that had me hooked from Stakeout to Takedown. If you like your shifter stories gritty, fast-paced, and full of cop drama with teeth—Memphis Heat will light you up and leave you howling for more.”

— 5 Stars from Rebel Lee, Amazon Review

“…I absolutely loved this book. That each little story built on the one before it made it worth continuing. And wanting to know what was coming next.”

— 4 Stars from Jessica P., Amazon Review

“I picked this up because I am a huge fan of Marteeka’s MC series and was interested and seeing her outside of the MC world. I have to say both authors knocked it out the park. Although Shelby Morgan is a new author for me I will definitely be looking into her work. If you enjoy the supernatural and hot times definitely read this.”

— 5 Stars from AnotherDayInParadise, Amazon Review

“A set of interconnected stories with drama, danger, suspense, twists, turns, steam and romance. I found all the stories to be well worth reading.”

— 4 Stars from Barbara, Kobo Review

“This is most definitely full of action adventure, lots of steam and it most definitely left a smile on my face. I love the characters.”

— 5 Stars from Deedee, Kobo Review

“I’ve read several books written by Shelby Morgen & Marteeka Karland; they are becoming some of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of their books… well written with interesting story lines and characters.”

— 5 Stars from Jeanne, Barnes & Noble Review

“This was a fun and engaging set of interconnected stories that wrap the unexpected newness of finding out you’re suddenly a werewolf, mysterious gang activities and wolf shifter politics together. With action, danger, twists, and hot spice, each book takes you on quite the wild reading ride that looks to solve the mystery as to why the Russians are invading their town while learning to cope with their new instincts and skills. Definitely entertaining with great world building for quick reads. Good fun!”

— 5 Stars from LBing, Barnes & Noble Review

MERCENARIES by Anne Kane
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2728

“This group of stories was nice and spicy, and also well written. I enjoyed reading them. All the characters have a certain charm to them.”

— 5 Stars from Anna, Amazon Review

“There are five action packed stories in this collection. Each of these alpha men find the one woman that’s perfect for them. Read and enjoy!”

— 5 Stars from Gail, Amazon Review

“The author has given us a wonderful selection of stories with this collection. Each story pulls us into the lives of the Mercenaries and the women that can bring them to their knees.”

— 5 Stars from Jjohn, Amazon Review

“Mercenaries has five action-packed stories that are centered around alpha men and the women they chose to love. Each story is descriptive, filled with drama and lots of romance that had me cheering on the characters to get their chance for happiness.”

— 5 Stars from Merry, Amazon Review

“…a great collection. This is about the Mercenaries and the women who come into their lives. I found all the stories to be well worth reading. I will read again.”

— 5 Stars from Barbara, Kobo Review

“This was a fun collection of dystopian romances that bring mercenaries and their perfect matches together. Each book is about a different couple but we get to see all of the guys in action, throughout. With drama, danger, chemistry and steam, I flew threw this set.”

— 5 Stars from LBing, Barnes & Noble Review

PAIN (KISS OF DEATH MC 6) by Marteeka Karland
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3787

“An on the edge of your seat, nail-biting and electrifying ride to go on. This was possibly the most exciting story so far in this series. Pain and Nadine are intoxicating together. I loved the protective hunger Pain had for Nadine. Amongst all the madness surrounding them they found something neither of them expected, a safe harbor with one another that both of them deserved. I enjoyed everything about this fantastic adventure.”

— 5 Stars from Andrea, BookBub Review

“From the start, Nadine and Pain’s relationship is a slow burn, but it totally pays off. There’s heaps of action, loads of emotion… You really feel the tension between them, and when it finally clicks—wow. So good. If you’re into MC romance with heart, heat, and action, don’t skip this one!”

— 5 Stars from Alibas, Barnes & Noble Review

— 5 Stars from A. Fernandez, Amazon Review

“Pain and Nadine’s story was a compelling read that balanced romance, danger, and emotional growth beautifully. The pacing is strong throughout the story. Every chapter feels purposeful, and there are no lulls in the narrative—only a constant drive to see what unfolds next.”

— 5 Stars from Dawn, Amazon Review

“I really enjoyed this book! Pain and Nadines book is another page turner in the Kiss of Death MC series. It’s another tale of the hard, but protective Alpha and that one woman that calls to his heart. I highly recommend this book. The author never fails to bring the heat!”

— 5 Stars from Tasha, Amazon Review

“I love that although Nadine is way out of her comfort zone she chooses to trust her gut. I love that Pain gives her space and time even as he protects her body and heart. I love the journey that Nadine and Pain take to get to their happily ever after. I especially love the unexpected twists that Ms. Karland takes us on and cannot wait to see where she will take us next.”

— 4 Stars from Titania, Amazon Review

“This is a slow burn but well worth it… each page had you wanting to see what else happened. I recommend this read, but also the entire series.”

— 5 Stars from AnotherDayInParadise, Amazon Review

“It’s an intense, emotional, slow burn read that keeps you turning the pages anticipating what comes next. These characters are easy to love and the chemistry between them is explosive. Great addition to this series!”

— 5 Stars from GKP2460, Amazon Review

PARTY ANIMAL (ROOSTERS) by Gale Stanley
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2755

“This was the perfect sweet story could ask for. One is a playboy porn star and the other rejects him at first. Kinda get to know each other and in the end things are good. It has a lot of spice… All together a good read.”

— 4 Stars from Jessica P, Amazon Review

“Very relatable and spicy. Well written and erotic without being spicy just to be spicy. Highly recommended for lovers of no holds barred MM stories.”

— 4 Stars from Lisa, Kobo Review

SNOWFYER (ROOSTERS) by Marteeka Karland
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2761

“Such a lot packed into this short story. The heat was good and the storyline was a page tuner. Seth and Scarlett were hot together and on stage. This was a nice surprise in a short story.”

— 5 Stars from AnotherDayInParadise, Amazon Review

“Really liked it. Very entertaining and spicy. Undiscovered talent comes out. Seth and Scarlet burn up the pages. READ THIS NOVELLA.”

— 5 Stars from Bfaajs, Amazon Review

“Well, this book was a great surprise with how much this author packed into a short rock romance. To say that Seth and Scarlett were on fire would be an understatement. I loved the fierceness of Scarlett with her finally getting her chance to prove her guitar skills on the big stage. Seth was all kinds of sexy swagger any frontman needs to have the fans falling to their feet. They had an attraction that couldn’t be denied and when they hit the stage in shown through having everyone panting.”

“This author packs a lot in these few pages and Scarlett and Seth definitely bring the heat! A great one sitting read!”

WITH A WHIE (ROOSTERS) by Stephanie Burke
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2754

“…the story was completely different from what I originally expected or even thought the story would be and let’s just say the surprise was incredibly good. Out-of-the-typical plot with passion and bit of fun.”

— 5 Stars from Bren, Apple Books Review
