Senior enforcer, Cameron Nickels has found her perfect mate. Blaine Andrews, leopard Pack Marshal, is strong, dominate, loyal, and passionate. He knows all her strengths and weaknesses--not to mention her pleasure points. Cam's known Blaine most her life, but she's always felt like something was missing and her jaguar refuses to fully accept him. Yet, she can't walk away from him. When architect and sexy mountain lion shifter, Graham Griffin, comes to town to design the new den nursery and school, Cameron finds herself in a mating dance that throws her and her jaguar into flight mode while Blaine must decide if he can not only share his mate, but welcome another.

After his lover walked out on him a year ago, Graham has no intentions of entering another relationship any time soon. But he realizes that the fates have other plans for him when he meets Blaine and Cameron. When his ex-lover's children are chased into Ashwood territory by a group of rogues, he discovers the male he shared a life with had died freeing the kids from the Onyx Pack. Graham must work side-by-side with the two enforcers to uncover lies from the past while his heart opens to his true mates.

Warning: Contains one-hot headed leopard, a man who thought he'd lost it all, and a woman who is about to rub up against both in the best possible ways. 

Krystal's Review...

I am a fan of Lia Davis. This short novel was action-packed and introduces the readers to a lot of new characters in the pack and even gives us a peek into the evil Onyx pack. My only hiccup with this book was all the characters. It's a huge cast and can be a little daunting to keep track of, that being said...I have really enjoyed Ashwood Falls so far and this book was a great addition. Lia does a great job building characters and relationships and you really get to know Blaine, Cameron, and Graham.

Now for the pink parts... This book is smok'n hot. Be warned it is a menage M/M/F (meaning the men are involved with each other in addition to the woman). Not my favorite type of menage, but it was excellently executed and the relationships built were strong and the sex was HOT!!!

Good job. I look forward to the next one!

As the Alpha's only daughter Shayna Andrews has always been treated like a rare gem, protected like royalty, and she's suffocating. Her longing to be independent has driven her to sneak out one evening after dinner. After relishing in being able to run free without an escort, she finds herself face-to-face with the enemy, miles from home, and nearly loses her life until a lone wolf comes to her aid.

Travis Hunter's main objective is to destroy the Onyx Pack--a group of drug using, murdering rogue shifters. His seek-and-destroy plans are put on hold when he rescues a female from a brutal attack. The beautifully exotic tiger shifter, Shayna, stirs a passion he thought died with his long-lost mate.

When Shay's first heat cycle slams into her, Travis has no choice but to submit to her needs--and his own. But there is always a price to sleeping with the Pack princess. Not only will they have to face her Pack, Shay and Travis will have to deal with a mating that is beyond a single night and could have consequences more than either of them had thought. And when Travis finds out Shay wears the enemy's brand, things will go from bad to worse.

Warning: One alpha female who doesn't take no for an answer, a wolf with more on the line than just his heart, and a combustible attraction that's sure to cause more than one sweaty night.

Krystal's Review...

I'm enjoying this series and Ms. Davis's world of Ashwood Falls. Technically this is book 1, but there is a prequel to the series called WINTER EVE. 

A TIGERS CLAIM is set in pack kingdom called Ashwood Falls and follows the Alpha's adopted daughter, Shayna - A White Tiger. Immediately we feel her restlessness and desire to just get away. Unfortunately for her, getting away has it's costs. But, I will let you read it to find out the price :-)

The war between Ashwood and Onyx is violent and surrounds the characters in this series. The fight scenes are very realistic and I can see them play out easily. Ms. Davis has a fabulous gift with description, harnessing all your senses to bring the setting and scenes to life. 

The love story between Travis and Shayna is a little predictable, but I really LOVED Travis as the hero of the story and was very drawn to his Alpha-but-sweet-and-protecting nature. Don't get me wrong, he has a very STRONG alpha side too. The sexual tension and SEX between them is fabulous and I really enjoyed how Ms. Davis built up their connection through the book. 

I did feel that since a big deal was made out of it being Shayna's first time, she and Travis's first encounter did not mirror the fuss made about it later in the book. I also found her immediate switch to having a mothering attitude a little out of place. I think there might could have been a little more of a transition to that change. There were a dozen or so misplaced words, so be prepared for that, if it bothers you.

All in all, it was a really good read and I am eagerly looking forward to see what Ashwood Falls future holds. What can I say, I'm a sucker for tortured characters and Ms. Davis can torture with the best.

There comes a time when setting your differences aside isn’t just necessary, it’s a means of survival. After losing over half of their dens to a group rogue shifters, the wolves and leopards merged as one Pack, but living together is much more of a challenge then they expected.

Danica Welsh was born to be the leopard pack healer. An accident involving a drug induced youth left her badly burned and scared—emotionally and physically. Without the ability to heal by touch, she secludes herself to the edge of town, away from Ashwood Falls’ overly concerned citizens. All hope of mating and family become a distance dream. When she finally starts to accepts the long, lonely existence ahead of her, a stranger crashes into her life, and her heart. 

After Nevan Mathews’ fiancée died three ago, he submerged himself into his work, cutting off all reminders of a life he dreamed of with the woman he loved. He lets his step-mother talk him into taking the first vacation in five years to visit for the holidays. But an accident delays his travel plans, sending him to Danica’s doorstep and raises a need he thought he would never feel again. 
Can they tear down the walls around their hearts and submit to the passion before another claims Dani for his own? 

Warning: Contains a shifter who's scars run deeper than skin, a human who has the heart of a shifter, and a snow storm that's sure to have them both reaching for warmth.

Krystal's Satin Sheets Romance Review...

A new twist on shifters for me from Lia Davis. Wolves and Cats living together. Very cool premise and the characters will leap off the page and into your heart.

Dani is a strong and independent cat, but desperately craves the love of a true mate. She been alone a long time. Nevan, is human with some -supernatural qualities. I love that he is totally not bothered by shifters and doesn't let them intimidate him. It does help to know that he grew up with them. I hope in the next book we get to find out more about his history.

Suspense is added into the mix by the tragedy that brought these two packs together two hundred years ago that continues to haunt them even now. (I know... that's all I'm going to tell you, LOL. You will just have to read it.)

The story is fast-paced, shorter than I would have preferred, but it is just the start of the series. You will not want to break until you finish. I read it in one sitting. Lia does a great job of keeping you engaged and interested. The romance is sizzling hot and will leave you looking for an iced beverage to help cool off. Looking forward to the next one.

Krystal's Satin Sheets Romance Review of Death's Storm by Lia Davis

• Title: Death's Storm, The Divinities, book 2 
• Author: Lia Davis
• Website: http://www.authorliadavis.com
• Amazon Buy Link

Technical genius and demi-goddess--aka Divinity--Khloe Bradenton relies on no one for help, and she definitely doesn’t need comfort from anyone other than her twin. After her parents died by the demons’ hands over two years ago, she has graciously stepped up to her place in the war between demons and witches. When a creature far more dangerous than the ones responsible for killing her parents claims he is her guardian, she is torn between her desires for the dark predator and the painful loss she has endured at the hands of her enemies.

One of the last death demons still in existence, Jagger has pledged his life to the Goddess Hecate. Charged with the guardianship over the Divinities, he is never to approach them, but to aid them from a distance. When the firestorm, Khloe, sacrifices herself to save her twin and best friend and becomes the prey, he has no choice but to reveal himself to her. He is taken by surprise when the need to claim her as his own emerges. A desire he has never felt before could be more dangerous than the demons out to destroy them.

Krystal's Review...

The second book, Death's Storm, in the Divinities series by Lia Davis is phenomenal. I really enjoyed the first book, Forgotten Visions, but I fell in love with this one. Death's Storm is a slam dunk for me. I was completely entranced by the story and the hero and heroine. Khloe is spunky and stubborn and refuses to just let the guys do everything. Jagger is alpha all the way and just as stubborn as Khloe, making for some very yummy tension filled pages! And, OMG, can I just say he is HOT!!!!! Lia Davis does a fabulous job of making Jagger and Khloe's romance leap off the page. I couldn't put the book down.

I would recommend reading Forgotten Visions first. Even though the romance between Khloe and Jagger stands on it's own, there is a LOT of stuff going on in this book that carries over from the first. Also, there are a LOT of characters to keep up with.

There is a large handful of grammatical 'whoopsies' so be prepared for that, but I promise it won't keep you from loving this book. If you like paranormal romance, here's one definitely worth your time! It's a keeper.

Death's Storm is awarded 5 Satin Pillows!

Krystal's Review....

The world Lia Davis paints in Forgotten Visions is very cool.  Her magikin exist and are known in the human world. There are witches and demons and nymphs and a two-headed dog named Teddy-Bear that I just adored. Magic and powers are everywhere and each character had one unique just to them.

The main heroine, Kalissa, is very relatable and I connected to her quickly. She's been through a lot and is finding her way. Her sexy counterpart, Ayden, is a great match for her and I really enjoyed their journey together. Ayden was definitely a dominant alpha male, but he showed a very tender side with Kalissa that I appreciated.

There were a LOT of names in this book and I did find myself going back and forth a few times to sort out who everyone was, but it was TOTALLY worth it. The storyline was very unique and I hope Lia Davis is planning on writing books for the other characters mentioned in this book. She did a fabulous job of building her world and I can't wait to join her in it again.

If you are looking for an exciting, action-packed, magical, romantic romp, look no further. Forgotten Visions will deliver.
