It is a shame this anthology was so poorly edited.

Rejected Wolf Queen by Eliza Gayle: This STEAMY paranormal can be read in an afternoon but is spoiled by the author's inability to retain POV. 3*

Cloaked Ties by Aliyah Burke: Another STEAMY paranormal that can be read in an afternoon, this one addresses the abduction and abuse of children. 4*

A story for everyone

This charity anthology has a story for everyone; whether you like shifters, same-sex, mature or historical, you will find something to enjoy. Two dozen stories, and almost as many variations of second chances. This was a bit of a rush job and it shows in the need for editing, some tales more than others. My favourite stories include Aria Bliss' Renewing Hearts, part of her Watercress Falls series, and CK O'Connor's Once Burned, Twice Loved, appealing for Bake Off fans. I should also mention Lia Davis, Linzi Baxter, and RC Wynne, and for me, these five stories more than justified the cost.

Fun read!

Granted I accidentally read this book before book one, but I had a fun time reading it. I loved the spunky little pixie Patty. I also enjoyed the white hat hacker world this took place in. I'm not into all the sex scenes, but the story line itself was riveting. I adore this family of characters and can't wait to see what happens to her twin Jessica in the next book. What's up with these two repeatedly getting kidnapped?

Just continues to get better!!

Wow! This series just keeps getting better and better with each book. If you have NOT read the previous books then I HIGHLY suggest you do so. You will understand the story, but it makes far more sense knowing all the players going in. Poor Jessica just can't catch a break. I've lost track how many times she's been kidnapped or out in danger. Luckily she has her very own super hero in Brock! Go along for the ride of him pulling his hair out trying to keep her safe. The gang is all back and we get to catch up with Patty, Sam, Bridget, Alex and the group.... I never tire of this little family. I love all the suspense in these books and cannot wait for the next book where we FINALLY learn about Sophie's back story.

I was never more thrilled than when I accidentally discovered this series by the great Linzi Baxter. I figured I'd read one and then when time permitted complete the others.... SMH.... Yup, that's so NOT what happened LOL. After maybe reading a chapter of HACKER EXPOSED, I knew i was done for, and was in for the long haul. So I gathered my blanket, put my cell on mute, grabbed a cup of tea and dove right in. My word how i enjoyed each and every book...I'm currently looking forward to the next release coming soon. I adore these strong, independent women who dont just wait around for a knight in shining armor. Unbeknown to their bosses and most friends two of the main characters are actually twins, and act like they've never even met. Both are highly successful in what they do. In the first book we meet Bridget ...she heads up a white hat hacker company (meaning they're the good guys hunting the bad guys) ...what she doesn't know is her past is fast a knocking by way of this new client. Alex Ross desperately need help discerning WHO and HOW is stealing money from his families company. Bridget and his family were very close in childhood... Until the authorities believe her father lost a HUGE part of the Ross savings in a pyramid sceme. From then on Bridget, her sister and mother changed their names and moved from place to place and leaving the guy she'd been crushing on behind. This time around, with a little help from his father who found this young white hat hacker to help (knowing the entire time who she was *wink*....ahhhh meddling parent eh?)... They desperately need to find WHERE a million dollars vanished and who was behind it. He definitely wasn't expecting to run into his childhood friend who he'd had feelings for long ago. Can these two put past issues aside and find the culprit? Danger lurks around every corner and these two MUST trust to finish the endgame...and maybe get a bonus in the end. This, and all the books in this series are FUN and fast paced gems. You will definitely find yourself cheering for certain people along the way!

Which leads us to book 2 ROYAL HACKER. I fully admit this is one of my faves!!!! Here we meet Patty and her twin Jessica.... both are independent, strong, modern women... Yet looks can be deceiving. Jessica is in an emotionally and sometimes physically abusive relationship that he hides from everyone. Even though she's at the top of her industry and works for an extremely influential company. Her beloved sister Patty is convinced the lying rat of a Brother in law is also cheating on her amazing sister. Come heck or high water she WILL bring him to his knee nd prove his treachery! The fact these women are so confident is amazing as they've each been kidnapped and tortured in their lives. Mainly because of who they are... Unknown to even their closest friends they're next in line to the throne of Shialia. Meanwhile Patty is actually the boss and owner of where she works... Nobody knows who the boss really is... For. Fun she just acts as one of the white hats trying to help others through her talent. Except right now she feels her sis will best be helped with this service. Imagine her shock entering a BDSM Club after trailing her dirt bag of a brother in law. Things only get that much MORE interesting when this lil sprite of a woman decks him in full view of everyone LOL. though most at said club also don't like the skeeze... There ARE rules, and rules are rules. This gorgeous Adonis of a man approaches her and picks her up and stops her from continuing to wail on said dirt bag LOL. And so her new world starts.... Take the ride and see what happens to these amazing people. A wonderful world of great friends and family who have each others backs no matter what. See how they escape or evade the continuous danger(s) that enter their lives... Soooooo many things happen in all of these books. I promise you will NOT be bored or disappointed. Dive right in and take the ride of your life.

The HUGE BONUS of getting this boxset is you can instantly go from one book to the next. By the time you reach the last page of the last book you MIGHT just be lucky enough to see the next release is available . BOOK 4: UNDERCOVER HACKER is currently set for release on April 17, 2018!! In for one can't wait to see what craziness happens in this new book!!! I DO own all of these books.. I didnt get them in this box set version as it hadn't been around at the time. However I do indeed own all these brilliant and exciting books.

These books just keep getting better and better and better! Sophie has been under the thumb of a corrupt govt. Official since her parents were killed years ago. Desperate to learn the whereabouts of her baby sister she agrees to work for this monster. All the while getting info to bring him down. So of course her day begins with a hot looking suit bringing her in for treason?! It was the monsters way of yanking her chain....he had no way of knowing it would also be a means to meet the love of her life Zane aka Agent White. All kinds of mayhem happens....excitement, intrigue, deception, secrets galore and a few surprises thrown in along the way. This book NEVER disappoints! Take a peek and get ready for one heckuva adrenaline rush. ENJOY!! Be forewarned....I HIGHLY suggest reading the previous books in this series if you haven't already. That way you will have a far better understanding of all the players here....especially as they all act like a family of highly trained misfits 😀. Get ready and take this adrenaline packed ride.

Once more we go within this hodge podge family of security specialists....now that Antonio and his wife ( presumed dead until now) Kat are FINALLY reunited, along with his young lookalike son Ant they hope all will be calm. ::::shaking head woefully::::: when has that EVER been the case? Kat has been working a the abused women's center to help give them the tools needed to persevere and thrive. Downside? She keeps getting extremely attached to these amazing women...and a few of the men who harmed them *may* have vanished and become food for her friendly alligator that happens to frequent behind her house. Hey, at least there's no bodies to find. Once again however,e lives are upended with the reappearance of her Uncle Juan....ex CIA Director and evil mastermind extraordinaire. Like a human wack a mole, he just keeps popping up and refusing to go down. Causing immense frustration for Kat, Sophie, their spouses, friends...and the President of the United States (who happens to be the brother of Zach). Trying to get to know his mini me son, and beloved wife again now that yes relieved to know she's indeed ALIVE is getting harder and harder with each impending dangerous element. Psycho uncle check, even crazier abusive ex to one of her abused clients....check, crazy motorcycle gang thats aligned with aforementioned nuts uncle check....any other evil maniacal jerks....who knows? So far the universe seems to be throwing every evil jerk imaginable their way...and it all began with an alert from their son Ant's school saying he's missing!!! WTF?!?! And so it all begins.....thankfully they thought him well and he hid in a closet when spotting his unhinged uncle Juan. Thanks to the 'ESP' tracker his Daddy put in his shoe (yes its a GPS tracker hehe...gotta love the little ones) Anthony and Kat found their beloved child quickly. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series first if you haven't before...that will give you a much richer backstory, and help you to k.ow all the players. Its NOT a must, but definitely helps. This book, and series is filled with action, strong, capable, and highly intelligent/independent women, and a sprinkling of romance along the way. A must read in my book 😎🔥🔥... ENJOY!!!!!!

Linzi Baxter did it again!! What a ride....I couldn't put the book down until i had read the very last page!!! Then when I finally arrived at the last page there was a MASSIVE CLIFFHANGER! Eek!!! I cannot wait for the next book to come out.

Poor Bella just can't catch a break. She used to love her job as the second fiddle to her mentor and surrogate dad doing realty flipping. That is until the day the FBI raided their office and took him down for his Ponzi esque scheme. Since she was 2nd in command everyone felt she was in on the whole thing. Even after law enforcement cleared her, thanks to the media having crucified her the public still thought her guilty. Now she was starting over from the ground up....doing house flipping with only herself and her meager savings, she was hoping with all that she had to get this Victorian house at the auction. Now she just had to hope the hottie who kept out bidding her wouldn't nab it for himself. Enjoy this action packed book and see what happened when Bella gets the house...all kinds of insanity happens from day one. Luv Lily the aforementioned hottie and ex SEAL seems to be interested more in Bella than the house. If you like suspense, action, Navy SEALS and all out craziness then this is the.book for you!!

Once again Linzi Baxter knocked it out of the park! Filled with tons of intrigue, deception, suspense and action....we get to revisit a few characters from her other HACKER series, and previous characters in this BROTHERHOOD PROTECTORS series. In this book we meet Grayson's little brother Noah. Like all Steele siblings, he too is an operative. Asked by the president to help find someone close to him....surprise! Said person is next to the ranch he's currently staying at as an unknowing part of a cult. Said cult is trafficking underage girls under the noses of this unassuming community. Out of the blue the sister of this person the president wants found shows up hoping for a job. Was it coincidence? Planned? Or fate? This book goes a mile a minute and is packed with excitement. I highly recommend reading this and any other book by Linzi Baxter. It helps to be familiar with some of these characters before reading, but isn't mandatory. In for one can't wait to read the follow up book about yet another brother of Noah's.

What an exciting read!! Daisy has had a place in my heart from the very beginning of this series. Now happily with Noah and Aaron, daisy fears they will no longer want her. Determined to push them away first she does a scene at the club while they're away. Unfortunately as a means to make memories of her time in captivity vanish by doing a scene, it goes way too far!! Brock breaks up the scene when he finds her with blood pouring down her back. He immediately kicks the guy out of the club and calls her guys......and that landed her where she is today, at her friend/therapists to work out WHY she did what she did. Daisy is finally starting to feel strong when all kinds of crazy starts....She accompanies her friend to the doctor for support. While there she asks for an appointment to make sure if she can have kids or not. While held captive her master tormented her saying he'd made it so she could never have kids. Surprise!!! She has not one, but two little ones growing within according to this doctor!!! When all should be right in the world it gets turned on its head when an insane stalker kidnaps Daisy. Don't underestimate this woman or the men that ADORE her! This is going to be one Christmas that none of them ever forget!! Tons of intrigue, action, Suspense, and one fearless female at the heart of it all. If you've not read the others in this series it helps for back story, but isn't 100% necessary. I for one cannot wait to see what happens next!!!

Just.... WOW!!!! I have yet to be disappointed with any of the books in this exciting series by Linzi Baxter. Yet again I was gleefully turning the pages of this newest book in the series to see what happened next. Absolutely FILLED with intrigue, secrets, murder attempts, hot alpha men and strong, amazing women. Just when you think you've got it figured out, WHAM you're floored by another twist of turn 😊. At no point was I bored. This book centered around Annabella, the kind hearted actress and friend of Daisy that we meet briefly in previous books. Having returned home from a day of filming she's stunned to find blood all over her BFF/fiance's room and a deputy suddenly standing in front of her mere moments after she got home. The kicker?? He's accusing her of killing Nate (fiance)!!! Immediately hustled from her house without shoes, phone or anything at all she's still in complete shock. How/why did the police arrive minutes after she did? What was going on, and WHERE was Nate? This book has you eagerly turning each page and wanting more. This series is most definitely one of my guilty pleasure. I can't wait for more!! It's not 100% necessary to have read the previous books in this series, but it helps give you back story and character relationships. Enjoy!!

Pandora's day just isn't starting out well at all. Out of the blue her beloved grandmother is attacked by insane demons and trolls. What the heck is going on? Lucky for her she is a detective with paranormal abilities. What she wasn't expecting is learning she's got a twin named Paldon... oh yes and Lucifer is her father?!?!? What in the world? Turns out the woman that raised her didn't give birth to her, and others had a clue about this already. Little time to ponder on the new info as supernaturals are getting kidnapped and murdered, and she's on the hunt for the perpetrator. Lucky for her daddy dearest sends along one hot, supernatural FBI guy to "help"....now if only she could get that super cute and cuddly pandacorn to come with?!?

Another exciting new series by this brilliant author! Three cheers!!!

I've officially found one of my new favorite series! Linzi Baxter NEVER disappoints with her series, and book one of this new series is no different. Talia is a touch psychic, meaning when she touches an object she can see events that occurred linked to said object. Called in by the council to determine if an eight year old child is guilty of murdering her parents she comes across something new. Somehow her vision had been manipulated... And she had a sinking feeling this little girl was not only innocent, but something was VERY wrong. It didn't help the councilman refused to hear what she had to say even after her years of service. The last thing she expected was touching the child in comfort one moment then the two of them ending up in a totally different location the next! Surprise!!! Her entire world had just turned on a dime... She just didn't know if yet. Nor did she know more was to come in the form of a hot Dragon mercenary sent by said Council to find them. Corruption and secrets surround the death of the child's parents. Can Talia and Kinley (dragon) figure out what happened and why before it's too late? I can't wait for book two of this delicious series filled with adrenaline, suspense, heart and family of blood and by choice!

I loved every moment of this book! That didn't surprise me as I've adored each and every book that I've ever read by this author. Zoey has been on the run and living on the streets for months. After having witnessed a horrific event she KNOWS important people are after her. All she has to do is survive. Each passing day gets harder and harder. She's running on fumes and barely anything to eat. Thanks to a fellow homeless person she learned off a vacant home to squat in for now. The last thing she expected was the yummy ex SEAL to show up out of the blue. Is he her savior, or could he be working for those after her? This series is so exciting! Filled with secrets, political intrigue, government operatives, ex special forces friends and one fierce woman determined to survive at all costs! I honestly can't wait for book three in the series!!

A wonderful spin off to WHITE HAT series!!!

Yet another genius, suspense filled series from the great Linzi Baxter! This gem is a spin off from the exciting White Hat series. We see appearances from both Kat and her beloved Antonio in this. Lily and Tommy are a mother and son that Kat befriended at the women's shelter. Running from an extremely abusive ex husband, Kat made preparations for them to be safe at a friend's company. Jacob and his two brothers run a billion dollar company and have no problem helping Lily out. Of course it wouldn't be a Linzi Baxter book of everything either out right away. Numerous kidnapping attempts and attacks, yet thanks to an intriguing cast of characters and people from both Lily and Jacob's pasts nobody is quite sure who is behind it all. Can Lily trust her son and herself with how her heart feels? Can they find who is behind all this mayhem? Can she and her little boy finally feel safe? There are lots of ups and downs as well as sweet moments all throughout. I for one am hoping the next few books are about Jacob's brothers

A exciting read!!

When Kai's business partner Jake vanishes for three days his secretary Kacey is worried and brings it to his attention. Little did he know that his missing best friend would lead him to his mate at the same time. Also they'd uncover there is more evil afoot, and the oath they're secret partners in is NOT what they'd thought. Lucy works at the lab Kai is a secret partner in. She and her friend Travis keep hearing of growling, and notice many of their co-workers gone missing. When they go searching for what's happening they DIDN'T expect to find their missing co-workers make and in cages. When trying to help their most recent missing friend Rachel escape she suddenly shows extreme strength, her eyes glow yellow, and she escapes the lab. What on earth is going on?!? Soon Lucy and Kai's lives would cross and they'd become extremely important to one another. Maybe together they can figure out the sinister forces behind the lab and the deaths of Kay's nieces birth parents. One thing is for sure, these dragons won't give up until they unearth all that's going on and save those that need rescuing. Maybe they will finally unearth who the big bad is? Filled with loads of suspense, action, and excitement! I look forward to the next book in this series!

No surprise here as it's a Linzi Baxter book, but my oh my was this one exciting read! Never a dull moment anywhere in this book! At the center of course is a love story between Sasha, and profiler Brandon who hunts serial killers of all things. A new killer is on the loose in Houston and he's stumped as to who it might be. His and Sasha's worlds collide in a number of unique ways, and it all starts when someone frames her for killing her jerk of a boss. To think that's a mere blip in this story gives you an idea of the excitement to come. Written with humor, suspense, family and at the heart a truly awesome female with a quirky sense of humor and steel will. I absolutely can't wait for book three.... Especially after the cliffhanger (and might I add, rather humorous) ending.

Yikes!! What would you do upon awakening after being magically trapped in a tomb for 300 years? Gemma is rudely awakened by a Greek God demanding she get something for her. Next stop is the love of her life Lucifer. Though he broke her heart as he never came looking for her and left her trapped all this time. She'd soon learn everything isn't quite as she'd been led to believe. Apparently everyone she considered dear friends, and her love all believed she'd left of her own accord. What actually happened all those years ago, and why does nobody recall things the same way? Something evil is going on, but who is behind it all? Can Gemma learn these things? I've truly come to enjoy Lucifer in this series, and this doesn't disappoint. Snarky comments, betrayal, mystery, magic, and a cool pandacorn thrown into the mix make for an entertaining read!

I've yet to be disappointed by anything that Linzi Baxter shares with the world. This is the third in her 'A Flipping Love Story' series featuring kind, strong alpha men. Many of whom are ex military and now own businesses that help people. In "UNLOCKING LOVE" we get to know Nathan a bit better. We've already met his brothers via this series other books. As usual the WHITE HACKER series characters also make their presence known through a very welcomed short and sweet cameo. After all, when President Zack asks Nathan to do a mission it's hard to say no. Even if the president of the free world is blowing raspberries onto the tiny tummy of his little nephew. Nathan already has his eyes on a certain beautiful someone that he spotted while in town months ago. When he began starting the process to strengthen his brotherly bond with his brothers after the MASSIVE fiasco that eventually reintroduced them (read previous books for that adventure,). Amazingly this new mission lines up not so surprisingly with the woman he's been ogling. She's also close to his brother and sister in law. They all feel she's been keeping something from them, just don't know what it could possibly be. Enter the president who lays it down for them. This adventure will take them to Russia and back in search of a scared little boy. Can he help reunite this particular mother and child? What else is she hiding? Or is she in the dark about all her ex did and is currently doing? This adventure will need bringing the band back together to achieve their goals...so sit back and relax watching old friends do what they do best; work together like clockwork and kick butt! If you've not read the others in this series before, I suggest checking them out since it DOES help you to know relationships and backstory, and heightens the reading experience :). For the gold star I'd also suggest reading her HACKER series of you have time, as many of those characters pop up in this FLIPPING LOVE series too. Plus they're just awesome books! This current book in the series UNLOCKING LOVE is filled with suspense, adventure, a young protective mother desperate to find her son, international intrigue and so much more!!!! Enjoy!
