The Demon Creed by Paula Altenburg My rating: 4 of 5 stars I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The Demon Creed is the third book in the Demon Outlaws series. I continued to enjoy Paula Altenburg 's ability to combine an old west feel with a paranormal twist. Creed is a Godseeker assassin, who has been sent to find half-demons and bring them to justice. Creed is finding it increasingly difficult to complete his mission when most of these half-demons are children that have been abandoned by their mortal parents. Left on their own, they have done what it takes to survive. While on this search, he meets Nieve. Nieve is timid and broken by her harsh life, but determined to find her half-demon son. Can she trust Creed to help her? Will Creed put aside his duty to do what is right by these children? This is an action-packed adventure with a heart warming romance. I enjoyed the journey I, as the reader, was taken on. Nieve has been used and abused w...

Only with You by Lauren Layne My rating: 5 of 5 stars I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Only with You is a fun, witty, but train wreck waiting to happen kind of story. Who doesn't love that? I laughed, I cried and mostly shook my head at what I was reading. I loved it, and did not want to put it down. Who needs to cook, clean and pick up kids from school? Really!
