What I'm Reading: May

It's hard to believe that another month has passed already! I'm enjoying the change from Winter to Spring though and the chance to read outdoors and soak up the sunshine. I was travelling this month and wasn't able to read quite as often, but I've still got a few book recommendations for the May "What I'm Reading" post.

Title: The Jaguar King
Series: Wild Rites Saga #1
Author: Anna McIlwraith
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
For fans of: shapeshifters, strong heroine, lots of swoon-worthy guys, ancient prophecies
Book Blurb:
Magic is real? Big deal. Bills still gotta be paid. 

Especially when you’re heading into vet med. Emma Chase is nothing special – if anything, with a roomie who turns into a jaguar on a regular basis, she’s the sidekick, not the heroine. Her superpowers have more to do with acing her finals and overworking herself. Knowing her best friend’s secret makes it easier to justify her own inclination to keep people at a distance, but it doesn’t change her life. 

Until others like him show up on her doorstep, convinced she’s the fated savior of their race, telling her she’s destined to command the magic of – well, Emma doesn’t quite catch that part, she’s too busy getting her ass the hell out of there. 

What she does know? The Jaguar King is after her, his rivals want her dead, and she doesn’t have to believe in prophecy to believe they’ll stop at nothing to catch her. 

Violence. Magic. Inappropriate humor. Step into a world of wonder and savagery in a gritty urban fantasy with an unlikely heroine, sizzling heroes, and complicated villains. The Jaguar King is a full-length read and the first in a series, and all the books have satisfying resolutions as well as a series-spanning story arc. Definitely no cliff-hangers – just bad-ass shifters with one goal: claim the prize. Claim the Caller of the Blood.



Title: Magnificent Bastard (Don't judge a book by its title!)
Series: Sexy Flirty Dirty #1
Author: Lili Valente
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
For fans of: explicit romance, friends to lovers, teaching the ex a lesson
Book Blurb:
F*ck Prince Charming. Sometimes, you need a Magnificent Bastard.

Face it, ladies: love sucks and then you cry…while your ex rides off into the sunset banging your best friend.

But why let a break-up end in tears when it can end with sweet revenge? Enter Magnificent Bastard Consulting and me, chief executive bastard. I’ve got it all—looks, brains, a heart of gold, and the killer instinct guaran-damn-teed to make your ex regret the day he said goodbye.

With the help of my virtual assistant, I’ve built an empire giving broken-hearted women the vengeance they deserve, while keeping myself far from the front lines of the heart. Life is a bowl of cherries, until my virtual assistant shows up on my real doorstep for the first time, begging for a Magnificent Bastard intervention of her own. 

Damn... She’s a bona fide sex kitten.

I pride myself on being a true pro, but pretending to be her lover soon leads to giving it to her good, hard, fast, and up against the wall. And somewhere between getting balls deep in my sweet and sexy assistant and watching her ex beg for a second chance, I break every last one of my damn rules—professional and personal.

So what’s my next move? Fight for the girl who makes me want to get up on a white horse and ride to her rescue, or stay a Magnificent Bastard to the end?

Warning: MAGNIFICENT BASTARD is a stand-alone erotic romance told from the
hero’s point of view. No cliffhanger. Lots of dirty talk.



Title: Persuasion
Series: Curse of the Gods #2
Authors: Jane Washington & Jaymin Eve
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
For fans of: RH, clumsy but lovable heroines, Gods/mythology
Book Blurb:
Willa Knight: Dweller? Bad-ass? Notorious pet to five magical beings?

In Blesswood, there are rules, and someone is trying to teach her how to follow them. The only problem is Willa. Which shouldn't be anything new, since she has been a problem since birth - something her pseudo-sister Emmy would agree on.

So it definitely shouldn't be new ... but it is.

Because things are starting to happen that have never happened before.

Things are starting to get ... chaotic.
