Dragon's Desire
Dragon's Desire JD Monroe
Dragon shifter Pahlin Stormcaller has undertaken the Wandering, a seven-year journey to the human world to find himself before taking his rightful place in dragon society. Life in the human world isn’t what he expected, and Pahlin finds himself earning a meager living by fighting—and losing—in a secret shifter fight club. But when he meets headstrong bartender Violet, his luck turns around.
Violet Ray can't explain the influx of muscle-bound hotties in her bar, but she’s not complaining. When one of them threatens her, she’s ready to protect herself. But nothing prepared her to learn that magic was both real and deadly, or for the cutie at the bar to turn into a dragon to defend her. Can she trust this man who is more than he seems, or is he too dangerous to risk her heart?

The Wrath of Stan
The Wrath of Stan Meghan Maslow
Stanley Whipplemartz is a short, skinny kid with bad skin, worse hair, and a cracking voice. And there’s that small inconvenience of being, well, a vampire. Unlike the charming, attractive vampires that we’ve all come to know and love, Stanley is a seventeen-year-old computer geek who was turned at a Star Trek convention in the mid-eighties.
Stanley knows no other vampires, and had to learn about his powers the hard way. This includes his frustration with only being able to use his powers of mesmerism on ladies over sixty. In this first story, Stanley discovers that someone has stolen his credit card and run up a lot of debt. What’s a nerd vampire to do?
Get even, of course!

What a twisting adventure! Kem and Tuii burn up the pages in Meghan Maslow's Demon for the Win. I couldn't put it down. Not only was I drawn in by the fantasy world she created but also the chemistry between the lead characters. You don't want to miss this one.
I loved this cute story about an incubus finding his true love with a dryad. It was both hot and sweet as Kem worked to convince Tuli that he was enough just as he was. Meghan Maslow's world of Verona is fun, imaginative, and always full of surprises, and I highly recommend this book.
Meghan is amazing at finding humor in every situation, and this story is classic Meghan. Hilarious, fun, and starring two unexpected and utterly charming characters. I really appreciate that she didn't go with the resistance plotline of an incubus falling in love (as though getting an incubus to fall in love is like trying to bathe a cat), and Kem is all the more delightful for being an exception to every rule. Can't wait to see more in this series!
In standard Meghan Maslow fashion, this book is chock-full of humor, bubbly and detailed world building, and scorching hot disaster demons. Kem and Tuli are drawn to each other like magnets, but not all is easy for incubi when it comes to the dreaded capital-R Relationships, even when they are *gulp* falling for their soulmate. An intriguing mystery provides the backdrop to this spicy fantasy romance, and I’m in love with the world of Verona Meghan has created. Highly recommended!

Then Sam's electrical powers go haywire in public, and in the fallout a mutual attraction is forced to the surface—but bisexuality is new to Sam, and Hansen is afraid to admit he's in love. And in the midst of trying to figure out themselves and each other, they have to face—and survive—the unfriendly witness to Sam's explosion.
