Jared is Vera's perfect man—until he opens his mouth. An incredible body and set of wings can only go so far when everything he says seems designed to make her mad. Still, she can't deny her intense attraction or the fact that he is the closest thing she has to a friend.
 
Jared doesn't go for bear shifters, especially ones that are related to his ex, but he can't resist Vera's charm or the way she understands him better than anyone else.
 
As suspicions build and loyalties are tested, Vera and Jared realize that they may not be able to trust anyone but each other.

“I’m glad you don’t want me dead.” He smirked. Even his smirk was sexy.
“I’d be on my own if you were.” I put my hands behind my head.
“And you don’t like being alone?” He studied me in the darkness. Sometimes I wished neither of us had night vision. It left you so naked, never having an opportunity to hide.
“I do most of the time.”
“But not always?” His eyes raked over my body. The fact that he could make such a platonic conversation feel sexual gave me even more reason to resist him.
“Why does it matter?” Often the best way to avoid a question is to ask your own.
“It matters because I asked it.” And there went his mouth again.
My annoyance gave me back my will power. “Put a shirt on.”
“Why?” He grinned. “Am I distracting you?”
“No, but we should go. The sun will be up soon enough.”
“Maybe I shouldn’t go with you.” He sat up, swinging his legs off the side of the bed.
“No way.” I moved to standing. “You’re not backing out.”
“Why do you care?” He stood with his back to me. “You can do this alone.”
“Of course I can.”
He turned to me. “Then why does it matter if I go my own way?” He pulled on his t-shirt, and a little part of me missed the view.
“Because we agreed to help each other out. I stick to my promises.” That was one of my good traits. The not so good traits weren’t worth reflecting on.
“Maybe I don’t.”
“You do.” I put a hand on my hip. I didn’t have time for Jared’s games.
“How do you know?”
“I just do.”
“You’re infuriating.”
I groaned. “And what are you?”
“Charming.”
If I’d had liquid in my mouth I would have spit it out. “Not exactly the word I’d use to describe you.”
“Says the girl begging me to stay with her.”
“I never begged.” I crossed my arms over my chest.
“Would you beg?” His grin was his undoing.
“Is that how you like it, Jared? With your women begging?”
“I wasn’t talking about how I like my women.”
“Are you sure about that?” I grabbed my backpack and headed into the cabin’s small bathroom.
“Where are you going?”
I paused with my hand on the door. “To shower.”

ILS4 SOAR COVER
 
Seven Nights, Seven Highs.

SOAR is the sizzling conclusion to the Indigo Lounge Series.

Dark and sinfully sexy Noah King thought he had left his past behind in New York. In Leia Michaels he thought he'd found his kindred spirit and an answer to all his unrelenting cravings.

But the past is not done with him. When his future explodes in a shower of nightmares he can’t walk away from, he’s left with an unconscionable choice.

For a painfully brief time, Leia imagined she was free at last. Free to contemplate a future with Noah King. But returning to Miami brings a whole new set of nightmares.

She craves a man who will never be hers. And her shadows of her past are closing in on her.

For the lovers of Sylvia Day's Crossfire series, comes the next scorching story from this bestselling series.

Warning: this book contains explicit scenes of scorching sex, heartache and emotional highs that will leave your pulse racing. 18+ only.

REVIEW

I was so thrilled to get a chance to read this book. I loved Soar, with all its amazing characters and the uniqueness that came with the story, and I could not wait to see what more was in store for Casey and her friends.

Where Soar focused a lot on the love triangle between Casey, Toby and Jared, this book delved more into Casey's newly discovered heritage as a Pteron, and a royal one at that. But there was still plenty of romance and Toby and Casey lit up the pages on more than one occasion. I will admit, though, that I missed Jared. He played a part in this story but I just didn't get enough of him. I missed his flirtatiousness and the wicked bad boy from the first book. I can't help it! I'm definitely TEAM JARED all the way, even when he was being a bit of a douche to Casey.

There were a few extra twists thrown into the second book of this series, and one major one that blindsided me right at the end. It was exciting and promises to continue in an enthralling manner with the next book. I'm in for the ride and cannot wait for more.

EXCERPT

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but my place or yours?”
He got a twinkle in his eyes. “What way would I take that, Casey?”
I shut my eyes tight. I wasn’t supposed to get that shiver when he said my name. Not after what Nelly told me. Not after Jared. Not after finding out the truth. But I did. I reluctantly opened my eyes again.
“Let’s go with mine. It’s more spacious.” His eyes studied me, waiting for my reaction.
We had memories at his place. Recent memories I’d been trying to forget.
“All right.” I tore my eyes from his face. He’d gotten a far off look, and I knew he was thinking about the first kiss. The one that felt more like perfection than any other kiss before or since.

GUEST POST

Love Triangles

Love triangles are like eggnog. People usually love them or hate them. I say usually, because I fit somewhere in the middle.  For me, it all depends on the execution. A well written love triangle can make for a fantastic read.

Love triangles are real. In life it isn’t always a case of two people who fall in love. Even in the ideal situation, there are usually at least a few people watching from the wings that wish they were the one involved with the guy or girl.

In fiction, love triangles are fun. They allow a character to explore what they are really looking for in a partner and to experience different sorts of love. They can also be painful, gut wrenchingly so. But then again, what romance doesn’t contain some pain? The Crescent Chronicles didn’t contain a true love triangle (although Allie had her share of admirers) it was always clearly about her relationship with Levi. I’m sure some of my readers would agree that I still put them through some emotional turmoil with that story. Soar does contain a love triangle, and it’s integral to the plot. I’m hopeful  that no matter what side of the love triangle debate you fall, you’ll enjoy reading Casey’s story. It’s a fun one.

 REVIEW

I instantly fell in love with the cover for this book when I saw it, and I didn't even read the synopsis before I dived at the chance to read it. I'm pleased to report that this story was as amazing as the cover.

This book had everything I love about paranormal romances, but with a unique set of characters that kept the story alive from start to finish. It was great to read about a different type of para-being from the norm. I don't think I've ever read a story with sexy bird men before but this one definitely made our feathered friends a whole lot more appealing. I loved how the Pteron species was further divided into the different bird species, making them alike but with their own unique qualities.

I thought this was going to be another "human girl finds herself in a para love triangle" (which I love, don't get me wrong) but I was pleasantly surprised by the twist thrown in at the end, and I'm dying to see what is going to happen with that little revelation. 

I LOVED Jared. Toby not so much. I really tried to like him because I wanted him to find his happy ever after, but he just didn't do it for me. Jared was fun and exciting, and I love a guy who knows how to flirt and knows what he wants. At times Toby was a little awkward, whereas Jared was all smoldering bad boy. I do have to say, though, that I found Casey's sudden change of heart a little confusing. She was all for Toby and probably would have still been, even after her encounter with Jared in the prison cell, if Nelly hadn't opened her mouth. Which makes me wonder, why did Nelly stick her nose in their business?? Hmm, there's definitely a story there.  

Another thing I was a little confused about was the constant mention about Toby's relationship, or lack thereof, with Allie, and events that happened in the past. I started to get the feeling that I was missing something, like maybe there was a prequel to this story that I hadn't read or something. I then found out that Allie's story is a kind of companion series to The Empire Chronicles called, The Crescent Chronicles. Not that it threw me off completely, because it really made no difference to the Soar plotline, but I was highly intrigued by what had happened in the past, so I'm adding all three books in The Crescent Chronicles to my TBR list so I can catch up on some back story.

This book was fresh and unique. It was fun, filled with romance, adventure and action. PNR fans will have a blast with this book and I cannot wait for more in this series.
