Book Review: Bonded by Snow by J. J. Jones

   When Tashi is worried that Jay will think she has stood him up when she has been kidnapped but instead she is rescued by a snow leopard and then informed she is one herself. Or at least that she is half snow leopard. When Jay returns her to his family home she finds out that not only is she half snow leopard but also that when she was born her parents and Jay's parents created a treaty for an arranged marriage to ally the two clans. But when her father wants to back out of it will their bond be enough to save both clans more blood-shed?
    While I am not generally one for arranged marriages I love that this book puts a new spin on how someone who has one human parent and one shifter parent can awaken their shifter side. I'll just leave that little tidbit for you to find out yourself. It gets a little sappy sometimes but all in all it is definitely a book that I would recommend.

Book Review: Hard as Steele by Georgette St Clair Timber Valley Pack book 3

    When Roxane gets into a car wreck during a snow storm she is rescued by a tall, sexy wolf shifter. After an amazing weekend during which Steele Battle lets her know that he is in love with her he has her memory wiped in order to protect all shifters from discovery by humans. They part ways and he believes that will be the end of it. However the Shaman was terrible at his job and made gaps in Roxannes memory that is happening with more and more frequency.
    18 months later Roxanne walks into a bar in Steeles town asking for him with full memory of everything she witnessed. It is now up to Steele to have her memory repaired then wiped again. But can he really give up his mate for a second time?
    I haven't really been reading much recently due to some personal issues in my life but now that I have started again it wont be long until I am back to reading and reviewing like normal. This is one of those shifter books where you are rooting for them from the beginning. My favorite character in the book has to been the side character, a Lynx shifter by the name of Isadora, as she is a sassy wild child who hates rules. This is not the first book in the Timber Valley Pack series I have read and just like always they never disappoint! Don't hesitate to sink into this steamy book with Roxanne the human and Steele the wolf shifter.
