When you’re born to be large and in charge, one mate just isn’t enough.

Sergeant Owen Wells is finally stateside from Iraq. He goes home to a place he’s never seen and tries to fit into a werewolf pack that doesn’t take kindly to interloping males. But Owen’s got some skills they need and he’s sent on a covert mission to find out why a neighboring sheriff was murdered, and why the hierarchy in that pack is crumbling. Problem is, he can’t keep his paws off a certain dispatcher. She’s got a body that would make Barbie jealous and a mouth that makes him want to dive into sin. Unfortunately, the pack’s reluctant leader’s got it bad for her too. Now they just have to figure out who the bad guys are, why they’re gunning for Owen all of a sudden, and why three werewolves in bed feels just right.

“An Alpha needed an innate ability to lead and believe without a doubt he had the biggest balls in the forest.” Owen Wells first came to life in book one of the series When a Pack Dies. He was a big alpha male who did not want the responsibilities of a pack and is happy living life on his own. Owen is the type of man that, even though he is an alpha, still has a soft and loving heart for the werewolves around him.

What can I say; this book is 548 pages of delicious nail biting entertainment at its finest. Breakdown of a Pack is one book that will not let you down or make you sorry for purchasing it.

With two strong wolf males, Owen and Tom, and a top bitch, Suzanne, as characters, you will get lost in the plot and lose track of time while you read. This is one story that you will find hard to lay down in the late night hours and one that you can saver until the end.

Ms. Campbell will blow you away with the hot sex scenes and a one of a kind tale of a pack of werewolves who has lost the top dogs in their pack, leaving them adrift and without leadership. If not for Owen stepping in and helping the pack, the twist in the story could have taken on an ugly outcome and destroyed the pack for good. Even though Owen is the main character, Tom and Suzanne play an important part in loving Owen and making him realize that he cannot deny that he is an alpha and that the pack needs him.

As I read this book, I fell for Owen, Tom, and Suzanne, and formed a bond with them. I had a hard time setting the book down and stayed up all night reading. This is one book that I would recommend to anyone who has a thing for werewolves and loves an alpha man in control who has a heart of gold. I am hoping that there will be another book in the series and will keep my eyes open for any book published by Ms. Campbell.

Diego is someone else’s man, but that doesn’t stop Corey from wanting him.

Diego is in a long term and stable relationship with his lover Juan, so he doesn’t deal well with the insistent come-ons of Corey, an eighteen year old acquaintance. Though the kid’s hot, Diego’s taken.

Corey isn’t one to give up, which is good since Diego discovers something about Juan that upsets him so much that Corey seems to be the answer to his pain.

Can a guy on the rebound find love with a younger man?

Sometimes the one person you want is the one person you can’t have.

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I picked up Someone Else’s Man. Author Kris Klein creates vivid characters I’d love to see in person. I liked the blurb for this book and I’m glad I selected it for review. Diego’s story is written in a flowing manner that I couldn’t help but keep reading. I had to know what would happen next. I felt like I was right there with Diego and Corey and yeah, I wanted to see them succeed.

There were a few little foibles that niggled at me while reading. This book isn’t terribly high on tension. With that said, it’s a great pick-me-up read.

If you want a feel good story, then this one delivers. Also, it’s written in first person. Now first person isn’t bad. In this instance, it’s fine. My issue is I never really find out what’s going on in Corey’s head. Granted, Corey is a tad younger than Diego and might be harder to understand—mainly because he’s complex—but I wanted to know how he felt. Sure, he wore a lot of his emotions on his sleeve, but I wanted more.

Still, I wouldn’t pass this book by, if I were you. It’s got great characters and one heck of a twist I totally didn’t see coming. I’m glad I found this title and I’m sure you will be, too. Grab a copy of Someone Else’s Man. You won’t regret it.

Can the love between warrior and sibyl stop a world from disintegrating into anarchy?

Three hundred years ago, the sick and psychic were booted off Earth. Set adrift in space, some of the women found a new world where they were revered as sibyls, pagan prophets and political advisors. Their colony is now at a crossroads…evolve or cling to customs that are eroding the social fabric of their world.

When the sibyls’ most formidable soldier meets their world’s most powerful warrior, her glimpse of their shared future binds them on a quest to find out who’s trying to tear down their civilization. One problem with warriors though: When they see a woman they want, they keep her. It may take days, weeks, years but he won’t let go until he’s purged himself of that need. Too bad his sibyl has plans of her own…and they don’t include him.

Can two warriors balance love in a time of unrest and subterfuge? A psychic Sibyl and a genetically superior Caspiun warrior must find common ground to save their peoples and forge a new future.

I met Keira in As My Warrior Commands, the one about her sister Jessica. I enjoyed that book and was looking forward to this one and I am pleased to say that Ms. Campbell has another winner.

Keira is a powerful woman who takes her duty seriously. She loves her people, her job and lives her life satisfactorily, or so she thought until excitement rode through the city’s gates on one of those really interestingly described animals. The man is Raull, a warrior’s warrior who trained Jessica’s mate, Thain. Raull is the best of the best but has never loved another woman until Keira.

True, love isn’t instant; a reader gets to watch it grow but in the meantime, watching the way Raull falls into lust first and then determines that Keira was his, well, if a reader thrills to dominant alpha men then let me say they are in for a treat. He commands, he takes and does what he wants and it’s pretty hot. At the same time, Keira doesn’t let him steamroll her, she takes too as well as gives. I had a great time watching these two strong individuals play on the seesaw of passion which turns to love. I enjoyed Raull’s willingness to show just how much he trusts Keira and for readers of erotic romance, it’s sure to please.

The conflict for the most part is external. Although there is a slight internal conflict on Keira’s part, her being a part of the Sibyl, I figured out eventually that she was going to be set straight. As to the how and the when of it, that’s part of the story’s charm and I’m keeping mum. However, Kamagra tablets do not form protection against HIV, infection and other diseases that can be transferred in forms of a curse and it works in two ways, both of which can benefit men viagra without prescription hugely.

It also offers effective treatment for Alzheimer’s tadalafil without prescriptions disease, flatulence, shock, depression, hardening of arteries and insomnia. It permits an erection to keep going viagra on line http://www.midwayfire.com/stations.asp long in bed. As it is, they’re having psychic talents a reader would think they’d all have it easy. They don’t and I enjoyed the story more because of it.

Now the external conflict is interesting. I really liked how that was handled and it made a lot of sense. I enjoyed how they gathered the clues and figured out the villains and unearthed the plot. The big climax was like a real mystery revealing, you know, like in the movies with Sherlock Holmes? That was fun.

Secondary characters were varied and lively. I really appreciated the scene with the old Sibyl and how the author had Keira interact with her. I can’t say too much but it was a nice touch and I personally thought it quite sweet. I still very much enjoy the fact that these transplants from Earth kept some of the lingo and I giggled as their usage made Raull do some double takes. And I really liked, and I don’t care if someone else thinks it’s too pat, that they were able to keep other things from back home alive and well. For me it made the story that much more fun.

My only eyebrow raise came from the in-depth political revelations. It was okay but I really didn’t think it added any value to the romance itself. I think the author was having fun with control and wishful thinking but if it makes the future better for Raull and Keira, then that’s alright too.

Where My Warrior Leads is not only a wonderful sequel but an excellent standalone story which not only entertained me but kept me fascinated and provided a wonderful happily ever after. I liked how Raull and Keira each played off of each other’s strengths and shored up whatever kinks there were in their emotional armor. The dialogue, the action, the intrigue and the passion, it all works and Ms. Campbell provided a well told story for readers to enjoy again and again. I like her writing voice and can’t wait for more.

When a kingdom crashes down around her, will his love be enough to save her?
Sibyls are old crones. Everybody knows that. So what’s a warrior supposed to think when a beautiful young woman turns up in the middle of a siege, says she’s a sibyl, predicts the downfall of a kingdom and tells him he’s going there with her to prevent it? He does what any hot-blooded warrior would do. He follows the woman. She’s intelligent, brave, can see the future, has an ass he can’t stop staring at and she knows how to make him laugh. What he doesn’t know is that the sibyls have predicted the downfall of the Kingdom of Jareb-Phar if a young sibyl enters their throne room. What they don’t know is if her arrival will be coincidental or cause the kingdom’s fall. The only thing the warrior does know for sure is that beneath his beautiful, young sibyl’s discipline is a woman as lusty and wanton as he is.

I had a rollicking good time reading about a world where the women are respected as warriors as are the men and how one woman one-upped the head commanding warrior with delicious results.

Jessica is a descendent of Earth travelers who ended up on a planet and evolved after three hundred years as a race to be respected and revered. The reason why I mention this is for the purpose of the dialogue. It explains why some of the speech patterns are close to 21st Century vernacular and the author did an awesome job in my opinion of making it work. I really enjoyed which words or phrases the descendants kept from the old language and it was realistically explained. I smiled every once in awhile when they were used during the action.

The heroine is on a quest to prove herself as all good Sibyl do. I found her spunky and smart and delightfully cheeky. In fact, the scene with Thain and the rope had me giggling and smiling throughout. It was a very clever presentation by the author because she used it to illustrate how ingenious Jessica was as a character. Despite her being out of her element, I felt pretty confident that she chose the right moment in time to start her quest and the right person with which to get the job done.

The right person ends up being Thain. I enjoyed the part when Thain first met Jessica. That whole descriptive scene totally entertained me and I chuckled in glee. Here was this big, brawny and in-charge man and this little female ended up rocking his world. One among the health benefits offered by this acid is that it promotes growth of insulin and other development http://new.castillodeprincesas.com/item-6074 cialis tablets 100mg hormones.

There are also applications of biotechnology that do not use living organisms. viagra no prescription Generally people link this problem with their age as older men start losing their potency while making love generic viagra 100mg to their female partners; however, it may have many reasons. I also appreciated how Ms. Campbell has a slow buildup of trust between the hero and heroine. He’s a man in control and it’s tested and prodded until he can’t take anymore and when he breaks, a reader is in for a treat. Thain sure knows how to please a woman and I certainly liked what I read.

The conflict is prompted by external factors but it is Jessica and Thain’s light internal angst and relationship conflict that gets them ready to face the big bad dude. The villain is pompous and totally clueless which made his character believable as a person who gets what he deserves. The fruition of the prophesy was done on a grand and noble scale. Once again I found myself swept away by a descriptive scene that reminded me of ancient Rome. Very cool.

The only secondary character of note is Jessica’s sister. I met her in the beginning and I initially thought the book was to be about her. I think that was a tease. And I’m hooked because of Jessica’s last comment. I like that familial loyalty and I suspect that there’s another book coming about her sister, which I will absolutely be thrilled to read. I enjoyed the world building that Ms. Campbell did for this story and look forward to visiting again.

As My Warrior Commands is an engaging and sometimes humorous romance between two people who know how to set the pages on fire. The pace is brisk and the dialogue witty and crisp. I can’t imagine anyone not having a good time reading this book because the characters have a way of drawing a reader in and making time fly. It has a romantic happily ever after that satisfied me on all levels and even then, Thain made me smile. I am really happy I read this book and would recommend it to my friends.
