ARMORED HEARTS by Angela Knight
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2393

“Smoking hot with a good amount of kink, I found this to be an interesting and hot read. Readers looking for a hot and heavy book with elements of space should find this a strong and good read. I’d definitely keep a cool drink on hand and give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the shenanigans.”

— 4 Stars from Fern, Long and Short Reviews

“… a fast-paced, spicy, enemies-to-lovers, captor/captive, BDSM, sci fi romantic erotica. I enjoyed Zara’s convictions and her willingness to sacrifice for her people. I enjoyed the spicy intimate moments. I enjoyed the banter and play.”

— 5 Stars from Tima, Barnes & Noble Review

“I thoroughly enjoyed this dual-POV romance. The biological dependency between Nick Rand and Zara provided a compelling foundation for their enemies-to-lovers dynamic, and I particularly appreciated the contrast between Rand’s dominance and Zara’s convictions. The combination of suspense, intimacy, and the eventual justice served made for a very satisfying conclusion.”

— 4 Stars from Babs, Amazon Review

— 4 Stars from Reading Addict, Amazon Review

ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS (SANCTUM BLACK 1) by Wanda Violet O.
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3841

“It’s a forbidden connection, built on intensity, power, and a craving neither can ignore. A dark, steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, Mira and Elias are consumed by power, control, and desire. What started as a professional rivalry quickly blurs into something neither can resist, forcing them to navigate a dangerously irresistible dominance and surrender.”

— 5 Stars from Kymagirl, Goodreads Review

IMPULSE CAUGHT (MARISBURG CHRONICLES 9) by Emily Carrington
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3842

“Overall, I found this a deeply interesting and refreshingly different story. While there is some very steamy sex between the men there is a huge amount of plot and conflict and that really helped carry the book to my mind. I’ll definitely be looking into other books by this author.”

— 4 Stars from Fern, Long and Short Reviews

“Impulse Caught by Emily Carrington presents an intriguing premise that immediately sparks interest.”

— Anisha, Amazon Review

JAG (KISS OF DEATH MC 11) by Marteeka Karland
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3839

“This was a bit emotional. My heart completely broke for Jag! His past was not the greatest, thanks to a club betrayal. After years away he comes out struggling to fit in and find his place. Ada and him hit it off pretty quick and she proves to be a great source of acceptance and helping him find his worth. Jag is a fantastic, multi faceted story that pulls you in quickly and doesn’t let go.”

— 5 Stars from GKP2460, Goodreads Review

KNIGHT (KISS OF DEATH MC 12) by Marteeka Karland
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3845

“It’s emotional. Powerful. The anger deserved. The emotions can be felt. Knight is all in, keeping his family safe in the only way he knows how. A great story!”

— 5 Stars from Vicki, Amazon Review

“An emotionally heart-tugging tale of love, loss and forgiveness. I loved, adored and enjoyed everything about this sincere and heartfelt adventure.”

— 5 Stars from A. Fernandez, Amazon Review

“I enjoyed seeing Knight and Lavender navigate their new normal as they fight for their daughter and the relationship that was once theirs. Ms. Karland gave us a wonderful addition to this series and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next.”

— 4 Stars from Titania, Amazon Review

“I have been waiting for this book! I have loved Knight since he first hit the page! Meeting his mini me was a punch in the gut for him. Lavender even loving him while hating him was heartbreaking. This might be my favorite MC because they truly embody family.”

— 5 Stars from Melissa, Amazon Review

“Excellent… the story is well worth reading and tugs at the heart. Excellent read and I am really partial to this MC family.”

— 5 Stars from AnotherDayInParadise, Amazon Review

“This story gave me all the feels and from start to finish I was there for it all.”

— 5 Stars from GKP2460, Amazon Review

— 5 Stars from Alibas, Barnes & Noble Review

“This book was full of redemption for love that just went wrong. Such a great book. Loved the kid too. She was awesome!”

— 5 Stars from Brenda, Kobo Review

“This book is a good addition to this series… so much of the MC family coming together for one of their own. Really good.”

— 4 Stars from Carol, Goodreads Review

KURO (JACK-O-LANTERNS) by Ana Raine
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2130

“With smoking heat between the two men and some sizzling scenes I enjoyed this short and erotic quick read.”

— Fern, Long and Short Reviews

PARA SCHOOLED (BOX SET) by Emily Carrington
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3848

“This is a great world full of paranormal intrigue… Having this story so diversified was great. Emily Carrington wasn’t afraid to write not only this type of book but also to add in disabilities. I live a disabled life, so to see a story that portrays that means so much to me. So thank you, Emily. This was a fabulous story.”

— 4 Stars from Nicole, Goodreads Review

“These are three stories that deal with disabilities and emotional disabilities. To watch as each person within the stories find their HEA is wonderful and beautiful.”

— 5 Stars from Grammatoni, Goodreads Review

OKTOBER (KISS OF DEATH MC 13) by Marteeka Karland
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3855

“Everything about this book was so good and well-written. I enjoyed every moment and could not put it down. Be prepared to let those dishes sit or laundry be half finished. I laughed and cried my way through and loved every moment of this book. Oktober’s character has so much depth and he is a big sweetheart the way he lets Mia be herself and deal with her ex, but he was there for her to lean on and back her up in any way she needed. This was a different take on Marteeka’s regular MC books but just as good in every way. Don’t hesitate to go and get this one you won’t regret it. This is a must read!”

— 5 Stars from Lyndsay L, Goodreads Review

SAMSON (RECKLESS KINGS MC 8) by Harley Wylde
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3847

“I loved Samson! I love the Reckless Kings in general. Callie brings serious trouble to their gates but once Samson is in he’s all in. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the Reckless Kings!”

— 5 Stars from Melissa, Amazon Review

“This story will take you on a journey that will break you apart and then put you back together in a way that you don’t expect. Samson and Callie’s journey is a quietly powerful story of two people who weren’t looking for love, but deserved it more than either of them knew. These two were destined to be together, you could feel their deep connection, their trust and loyalty for one another. I absolutely loved going on this thrilling adventure with them.”

— 5 Stars from A. Fernandez, Goodreads Review

“Absolutely loved the character development from start to finish. HEA guaranteed.”

— 5 Stars from Ashley, Amazon Review

“Once I started reading, I couldn’t put the book down.”

— 5 Stars from Julianna, Amazon Review

“Loved this book start to finish… shows how they evolve in their relationship.”

— 5 Stars from Debbie, Amazon Review

“Amazing read and I cant wait for more.”

— 5 Stars from Leslie, Amazon Review

“Lots of twists and turns, action, and a happily ever after.”

— 5 Stars from Nadine, Amazon Review

“We’re back with the Reckless Kings and this one is Samson and Callie’s journey. Samson is another wild ride with the Kings when trouble and danger comes for one of the Kings women. This couple is completely consuming and the emotion that’s poured into their story is palpable. It’s all about love, healing, loyalty and finding their forever!”

— 5 Stars from GKP2460, Goodreads Review

“The relationship between Samson and Callie is pure chef’s kiss, with just the right balance of tension, chemistry, and heart.”

— 4 Stars from Alibas, Barnes & Noble Review

“Loved these characters and the way this club has grown. I enjoyed seeing characters from previous books and hope that little hit about opening a new chapter of the club might be a real thing for future books.”

— 5 Stars from Brenda, Kobo Review

SPIRITORI (SPLINTERED BLOODLINES 4) by Mychael Black
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3844

“Lucas is a human omega getting used to life with his vamp death mage, Raphael. House Saridan is under constant threat, and Raphael and his friends stand strong. Mychael, built an amazing world and you can’t put these stories down. They are full of excitemant and lotsa love. Well done, nice cover art, quick flow.”

— 5 Stars from C.B., Amazon Review

“All in all a very good read. Recommend.”

— 4 Stars from Johanna, Goodreads Review

“Loved this one. I’m a fan of the hurt comfort trope, and I was in the mood for a MM romance. This was perfect. Lucas and Raphael’s relationship was exactly what I was looking for. Just the right amount of broodiness and angst with a touch of sweetness. If you are looking for an Omega romance with a touch of vampiric gothic fantasy energy mixed in then I definitely recommend giving Spiritori a try.”

— 5 Stars from Summer, Amazon Review

“I enjoyed the worldbuilding. Fun and quick to read.”

— 5 Stars from Jeannette, Goodreads Review

“Mychael Black knows how to build a story till it explodes at the end. I love the mixture of tropes in this story. I have been lucky enough to have read the others in this series and feel so lucky to have found them. If you love dark vampire romances, this story will hit that trope head-on.”

— 5 Stars from Nicole, Barnes & Noble Review

“It was nice to see Lucas getting a happy ending after what he’s been through and Raphael turned out to be an absolute sweetheart so I enjoyed them getting to know each other. I’m definitely curious about where the overall plot is going (and have a pretty good guess as to who the next book’s couple will be). If you’ve read the prior books and enjoyed them, this one is definitely worth checking out as it keeps the story moving along nicely.”

— 4 Stars from PalenMisha, Goodreads Review

THE SNOB (ROOSTERS) by Megan Slayer
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3850

“…a masterclass in the “bodyguard romance” trope, blending high-stakes tension with a deeply emotional slow-burn. The chemistry between Carley and her protector, Dacre Jennings, is electric from the start.This is a must-read for fans of romantic suspense who love a hero who would burn the world down to keep his lead safe.”

— 5 Stars from Rane Sterling, Goodreads Review

STARGAZERS by Anne Kane
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-2001

“These stories were short but a fun read. The steam they can create is HOT. The concept of witches in space was cool… the concept of universal ley lines is creative and an intense way to travel. The major attraction is the intimacy needed to travel.”

— 5 Stars from Goodigirl, Amazon Review

“This anthology of short stories is dual POV, well written and edited, and each stands alone, though they have the same setting. These stories are all erotic sci fi romances between a female human telepath and the male she partners with to achieve her goals. Each story is spicy, with some action, and they’re fast-paced and I really enjoyed reading them.”

— 5 Stars from Tima, Kobo Review

“The storyline is interesting and fast paced. The interactions between the several characters are nicely worked out, as are the romantic tension and erotic scenes. I’ve very much enjoyed reading this book!”

— 5 Stars from Stefanie, Kobo Review

“Wow, this was a really good read. I didn’t realize that I was getting five in one. My favorite would be the first. I loved the relationship building between Krystal and Tarik, but all of the stories are well-written.”

— 5 Stars from MissEcstasy, Kobo Review

“…character driven, with a lot of intimate moments. An emphasis, whether intended or not, is placed on the powerful connections we form between people, how they can strengthen us, motivate us, and enrich our lives.”

— 4 Stars from Goddess of Chaos, Kobo Review

“The stories are short, with quite the sizzle. Kidnapping, runaways and pirates are the common theme. The FMCs are determined, feisty and perfectly capable to stand up to the hot (very hot!) MMC’s. There’s some edge of seat adventuring, and a strong desire to be free in the plotlines. Fan yourself smexyness. It’s a fun ride across the universe. Anne Kane is a new author for me and I can’t wait for more.”

— 5 Stars from JenWat, Amazon Review

“This collection takes you on quite the adventure through space. Each story stands alone, but was enjoyable to find them together. Entertaining storylines and characters.”

— 5 Stars from Gail, Amazon Review

“The characters are easy to enjoy because each pairing has its own energy: protective heroes, strong heroines, reluctant alliances turning into trust, and attraction forming during high-stakes situations. The pacing keeps the stories moving, while the mythology behind the Stargazers adds depth beyond typical space romance.”

— 5 Stars from Bcluna, Barnes & Noble Review

TAKEN BY THE LADY OF THE LAKE (TAKEN) by Megan Slayer
https://www.changelingpress.com/-b-3831

“amazingly unique. Amanda and Sawyer are very interesting and unique in a way that keeps you motivated to read on. This is a different type of paranormal tale. It seemed a little rushed but not so much so that it is unbelievable. The author did a remarkable job at bringing the characters to life.”

— 4 Stars from Bebop191, Goodreads Review
