Ember’s Curse by Gena D. Lutz


Book Description 

For Prime-Werewolf Ember Stilwell, life has been far from normal. Decades ago, a vengeful Witch cursed her Pack, leaving the women of her line incapable of feeling love. When an organized group of immortal killers begin to stalk and capture wolves from her pack, she sets out on a path fraught with danger. Just when it seems the world as she knows it will be changed forever, she meets Collin, an Alpha Werewolf with a body built for sin. As her heart begins to heal, she comes to find that the demons of her past are not nearly as dangerous as the nightmares she will be forced to face in her future. Can finding her true love conquer all? Or will the ability to feel for the first time be overshadowed by losing everything else she holds dear?

What an EMBER-ific fangtastic book!!!  

 OH TO BE CURSED LIKE EMBER!  I LOVED THIS BOOK!!  I absolutely adored Ember right from the start!  She is this kickass heroine, but at the same time, she has this secret or hidden vulnerability that made me want to give her hugs – after she rid herself of all of those weapons, of course.  I found the side characters to be just as enjoyable, or evil, depending on which side they fall on of course.  And Mojo – come on!  How adorable is she!  Or is she?!  LOL  I thought that the concept of the heartmate was so unique and fantastic and oh so perfect!  *dreamy sigh*  I love how the whole “process” works – from how they find & identify each other, and of course the sharing then claiming of said heartmate is just…WOW!!!  I was so thrilled that Gena gave the history or backstory of the heartmates, the differences between the boys & girls, the whole beauty of it all and the ceremony too!  To me this just added to the whole allure and gave me the sense of just how special it is to be able to even find your heartmate!  To me, this is what made this story so incredibly hot, sexy and oh so romantic!  Yes, the rest of the story and everything else that is going on it amazing and very engrossing, but hey, I am a romantic at heart!  Who doesn’t want to find that special one that is made just for you and right away you both know & accept it AND you know it will last forever!  I loved how Gena took so many “common” paranormals and added her spin on the different species, their powers, weaknesses and the combinations of all of those that they may have, turning this into one AMAZINGLY UNIQUE book that you do NOT want to miss out on!  Trust me!  This is not “just another paranormal Shifter book”!  While it does have Wolves in it, they have so many different capabilities, their history is so different, their world is completely new and makes this series a wholly new & reimagined book that grabs your attention from the cover (isn’t that an AWESOME cover?!) and does not let you go, even long after finishing the book!  I did wonder if this was just a first book hook, but I still eagerly started the next book in the series – Roxanne Desired – and found that the magic is still there!  Question asked! Questioned ANSWERED!  Gena D. Lutz is one extremely talented author that has this extraordinary gift that she proves with every story of hers that I read!  I am addicted to Gena and WANT MORE!!!  I promise that you will not be disappointed in any way…other than when those 2 little words that any avid reader hates to see appear – THE END – that was my only disappointment!  And really, all good things do have to come to an end, right?  However, the end of the series is NOT in sight, so those disappointed feelings are eased…for now.  :)

Roxanne Desired by Gena D. Lutz


Book Description 

Waking up fur covered and fanged isn't the easiest thing for a girl to deal with. Unfortunately, for Roxanne Delaney, that is her new reality. The only upside is finding herself the bondmate to one hot and sexy werewolf, Nathan Hayes. The downside; learning to adapt to a primal element that craves the rending of flesh and the oh-so-sweet taste of blood. Will this shy waitress-turned-wolf rise to the challenges of this new life—one that is now littered with otherworldly creatures hell-bent on destroying her and the people she cares for? Or will the pressures of a new-found love and difficult battles prove too much for Roxanne to handle?

I DESIRED, GENA DELIVERED!  

5 stars

AND WOW DID SHE DELIVER!!  WOW!!!  What a great story!!  I always love reading a series where the characters all appear throughout the books because it lets me feel like I am catching up with friends I haven’t seen for a while! That is exactly how this book is!  Ember & company are all involved in this one, even though the focus is on Roxanne & Nathan and WOW!  Do they EVER get a story!  As much as I enjoyed Ember’s Curse, this one – dare I say – I almost, not quite, but almost liked this one more because it expands on a lot of the things that are touched on or hinted at in book 1.  I love the cool & unique talents or abilities that everyone has.  Especially Roxy’s powers!  I can’t help but love just how unique or one-of-a-kind this story is!  I mean there is a whole lotta wolf & vampire books out there but I have NEVER read ones like these!  The fact that this is the second book in the series, usually they follow a pattern, they are romance books after all!  But the only pattern that these follow is their own!  This book is not like Ember’s because it starts off with Roxy & Nathan already mated and goes from there.  Almost like it left off right where the first book ended, now from a different set of characters.  So it is NOT your “typical” boy meets girl…and they live happily ever after.  All of this adds to the charm though!  I am loving books like these!  Your Happily Ever After starts so early in the story so you can now focus on everything else – like the terrific main storyline, the side stories & problems or mysteries that arise without having to worry about if or when, the couple will finally get together and will they STAY together.  Not saying that you won’t see those happening here, but…well, you will just have to wait until you read it for yourself and then you will understand what I am meaning.  Of course, since this is a Gena D. Lutz book, you know that you are in for one helluva an awesome adventure & a book worth reading over & over & over!  I said it before, and it is worth saying again, so I will!  Gena D. Lutz is one extremely talented author that has this extraordinary gift that she proves with every story of hers that I read!  I am addicted to Gena and WANT MORE!!!  I promise that you will not be disappointed in any way…other than when those 2 little words that any avid reader hates to see appear – THE END – that was my only disappointment!  And really, all good things do have to come to an end, right?  However, the end of the series is NOT in sight, so those disappointed feelings are eased…for now.  :)  Enjoy!!
