I am giving it 4 Flaming Hearts.

DIVERGENT BLOODLINE BY TJ SHAW

Title: Divergent Bloodline

Author: T.J. Shaw

Genre: Paranormal Romance, Erotic, Vampires, Suspense
Pages: 360

Publisher: Wild Rose Press

SYNOPSIS:  While tracking down a killer, clues lead a homicide detective, Viviane Taylor to suspect, Julian DeMatteo. From the get-go, DeMatteo unsettles and irritates her. He’s a force she has never encountered, someone who excites her even though he is forbidden.  Her instincts warn the he’s hiding something and she is determined to uncover those secrets.

As king of the vampires, Julian DeMatteo protects the immortal clans.  So, when the beautiful, bullheaded cop embroils herself within his world, he must choose between the woman who reminds him of the humanity he’s lost or his loyalty to his people.

As confusing emotions awake inside her, Viviane can either accept her fate as the one chosen to save the immortal race or lose her soul to darkness.  With Julian’s help, she fights an evil that would rip her apart in order to forge a new future with the homicide suspect who’s stolen her heart.

REVIEW:  Viviane is a tough cop trying to find a murderer. When a member of Julian DeMatteo’s gang is killed, Viviane is forced to confront the lethal man of power.

Julian DeMatteo is the king of all the vampire clans. Viviane is drawn to him but she doesn’t back down. Julian can’t believe she treats him like a common criminal. He knows it isn’t wise to get involved with a human because things can go terribly wrong and he has to protect their secret of being vampires.

When Viviane can’t say no to Julian, she feels she has compromised her investigation. So what is she to do? She doesn’t figure that her partner will be killed and she will be kidnapped by another vampire clan and fed on slowly. She eventually escapes her captors and drives to Julian’s’ estate. She is let in and collapses in Julian’s councils arms. Julian is notified and returns to find her near death. He gives her his blood and chooses not to live without her.

This story grabbed me from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. The sex scenes were steamy and very hot. You might want a cool drink with this book. Wow!

I loved that Viviane could give Julian back his humanity and that he would fight to the death for her. He was strong and truly the king of the vampires. But Viviane being an orphan didn’t know her origins and is shocked to find out who her dad is. She is the promised one that was foretold by the vampire’s books. She was changing and was trying to understand it all. She also was having a baby with Julian which should be impossible. Nothing is impossible in books.


I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to read another book from this author.

RESURRECTION BY ANITA COX

Title: Resurrection
Series: The Shifters Chronicles Book 2
Author: Anita Cox

Genre: Erotic, BDSM, Paranormal Romance

Pages: 191

Publisher: Syn Publishing

SYNOPSIS:  Wendy Baker is a staple in the Belfast Lycan pack.  She serves others, manages the house and events. So when Nala Baker, her sister-in-law and new Alpha of the pack, asks her to relocate to the new shifter university, she feels lost. How can she leave her pack behind?

Zoltar, the Centaur King, has eyes for Wendy, but years of animosity between Lycans and Centaurs could mean Wendy’s excommunication if they’re discovered.

As new Headmistress at McGovern University, Wendy struggles to find her place and considers Zoltar.  He’s smart, sexy, and thoughtful.  What will her brother think?  But before they can enjoy their new relationship, a Pixie is murdered and the school falls under attack by a group that does not appreciate integration, the Separatists.

Can Wendy overcome her fears and find true love? Can she defend her school and her new pack from the murderous revenge of the Separatists or will she lose everything?

REVIEW:  This is the second installment of the Shifters Chronicles. You don’t need to read the first book but I believe it is so good you will want to read it first.

As the construction of the new university is under way, the school has a need for a Headmistress. They need someone who will help all shifters and keep order at the school. They go to Wendy Baker who is in charge at the Belfast pack and offer her the job. She is shocked and worried that she is no longer wanted or needed with her pack. But the offer is with a totally different reason. The Alpha, Nala and Wendy’s brother Collin believe she is the best person for the job. She will work well with everyone at the school. She will watch out for all students there and she will protect them. She will try to make the students transition easier.

Wendy goes to check the school out and runs into Zoltar the king of the centaurs. She is nervous around him and wonders if it is the pheromones he is putting off that are driving her wild with lust for him. He assures her that his herd is keeping the hormones turned down so they can work around everyone.

Wendy likes the school and starts to settle in and get to know everyone. She finds a friend in one of the pixies and finds out that because they are so small it takes them forever to get to any meal. So Wendy and Zoltar try to make things better for the pixies by building cars for them to drive around the school. 

Zoltar and Wendy find themselves being pulled together. Wendy wants a mate but doesn’t believe Zoltar is the one until he shows her he can shift to a wolf.

She has fallen for him and decides to give it a try between them. Before they can get too far into their new relationship there is a murder and the whole school is worried about the group targeting them because they are trying to exist together.

Wendy and Zoltar have their work cut out for them. But they do have time for some alone time. They can’t stop wanting or touching each other. Talk about scorching the sheets. They had several steamy love scenes.

I really loved this story. I like the characters that Anita Cox has come up with. The different groups of paranormal creatures trying to work together, and build something great for the future.  I also enjoyed seeing Wendy come into her own not only as a leader at the school but as a woman with Zoltar. I can’t wait to read more of this incredible series.

I highly recommend this book.
