Synopsis: Roane leaves the Fury werewolf pack to make room for his brother, Merrick, and his new mate. A natural alpha, there's nowhere Roane can go in wolf country and not stir up trouble. He settles in a town called Tranquility and immediately raises the hackles of the local pack leader.

Even worse, Roane gets one look at Scarlet, the pack leader's sister, and will do anything to possess her. Scarlet tries to resist him, but his touch inflames desire she can barely control. And that means heaps of trouble for both of them.

This short story is a free title, offered by New York Times bestselling author, Anya Bast. Tranquility is part two of a two part series. Fury is the title of part one. These titles are highly erotic and meant for those 18 years or older.

My Review: I read this book as I hoped that Fury the first book would be redeemed but unfortunately it was not, if anything the second instalment was worse than the first.

          This one focuses on Roane who leaves Fury and his pack so that he did not have to fight his brother for Nikki, he moves to Tranquility as he just wants to be a part of a pack again and he falls in love with the new pack leaders Marcus’ sister Scarlet, Marcus does not like this at all.

          As a short story it blows, I read it in less than 20 minutes.

          The two characters have sex and fall in love as well as fighting with his mates brother. It’s a giant snooze fest.

Synopsis: Nikki is a cougar shifter living in a werewolf world. When she's promised as a mate to a wolf shifter named Merrick, the fur flies. Cats are solitary and proud. No way will she be tamed, not even if Merrick’s touch drives her insane with need.

But Merrick has wanted Nikki for a long time and there's no way he’s letting her go. He’ll use every dark and erotic trick he knows to seduce her body...and then win her heart.

This short story is offered by New York Times bestselling author, Anya Bast. Fury is part one of a two part series. Tranquility is the sequel. These titles are highly erotic and meant for those 18 years or older.

My Review: I really didn’t like this book and I only read it because 1. It was short, 2. I was behind on my goodreads challenge and 3. Because I got this one and book two for free on amazon.

          I almost never finished it, the only reason I did was because I thought that the second book would be better.

          I had not read any wolf stories before but the fantasy genre is one of my favourites so I was very disappointed when this did not live up to what I have hoped it would.

          Nikki the main character is being forced to mate with Merrick or Roane who are brothers, whoever she chooses gets to stay with the pack the other must leave, Roane steps aside so that Merrick can have her.

          Although I am not a wolf expert or an expert on love but I was under the impression that one should be able to fall in love with whom one wants and not be forced into it.

          The beginning of this book was so bad that the last half could not make up for it. It really is awful, I was expecting it to be more erotic rather than full of forced sex scenes. I expected Merrick to go knocking on Nikki’s door once his brother stepped aside to win her over not break into her place.

I am not 100% sure I will read book two if this is how bad book one is.

To Read in May 2018

These are the books that I plan on reading in May. They will change if I get asked to beta read for someone.

I want to try and read at least 6 each month but that does not mean that I will finish all of the books on my list. There are only 5 for May (I started reading Fury in April but college got in the way and I never finished it).

This month I have picked two of my bookshelf and then two from my kindle and a reread.
