REVIEW: BECKETT’S FATE is the second instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult SILVER FALLS SHIFTERS erotic, paranormal, romance series focusing on the shifters of Silver Falls. This is alpha Sheriff Beckett ‘Beck’ Grey, and wolf shifter/archeologist Irene Blakiston’s story line. BECKETT’S FATE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

SOME BACKGROUND: There is a story, a myth surrounding Silver Falls , a town of shifters protecting a missing treasure of silver. Humans cannot be trusted, and outside shifters are usually looking for trouble. The treasure is connected to the original shifters, and Beck Grey is determined to protect the town at all costs.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Beck and Irene) BECKETT’S FATE follows in the wake of the arrival of our story line heroine. Irene Blakiston is a wolf shifter and an archeologist but a woman with a secret. Hunting for the mythological missing treasure of silver, Irene finds herself facing down not only a group of human hunters but the Sheriff and alpha of the Silver Falls Pack. Enter Beck Grey, Irene Blakiston’s fated mated, and the man who is desperate to protect the woman he loves. Irene is a bit of a hot head; refuses to stand down, and is struggling to trust any man, including the man that calls to her wolf.

The world building focuses on the search for buried treasure, and the human hunters stalking our story line couple. Irene and her ‘pack’ tend to keep to themselves, and in this, Irene is determined to lay claim to the treasure in Silver Falls.

The relationship between Irene and Beck begins when Irene goes on the hunt in Silver Falls. Armed with a map,determined to protect the people she left behind, Irene will come face to face with her future, her fated mate in the guise of Sheriff Beckett Grey. Fighting together to protect the town’s secrets as well as their own, Irene quickly discovers it is better to work together than to work alone. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are re-introduced to Ruby and Knox (Knox’s Fate 1) as well as housekeeper Delilah.

BECKETT’S FATE is a story of magic and mystery, secrets and lies, power and control, greed and mistrust. The fast paced premise is enchanting and dramatic; the romance is fast and furious; the characters are determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 14, 2025

They told me to stay out of it… I should have listened.

I was raised to believe in justice. To hunt down the truth no matter the cost. But when that truth led me straight into the sights of the Del Toro cartel, I realized too late, I might have bitten off more than I could chew.

I was tracking a shipment I thought would lead me to my corrupt stepfather. Instead, I ended up in the middle of a bloodbath, staring down the barrel of a gun. And then he showed up. Zane “Rush” Rushton, Lone Star Ranger, all raw power and barely restrained fury. He dragged me out of that hellhole, kicking and cursing, warning me that I was in way over my head.

I don’t like taking orders, least of all from a man who thinks he can control me. But Rush isn’t just any man. There’s something different about him, something dangerous simmering beneath the surface. When he shifted, right in front of me, I realized just how deep this danger runs.

Now I’m entangled in something far bigger than I ever imagined; cartel secrets, human trafficking, and the undeniable truth that my own bloodline is tied to it all. I should run. But Rush won’t let me. He says he’s the only one who can protect me. That he won’t let me go.

The scariest part? I don’t want him to.

REVIEW: RANGER’S JUSTICE is the first instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult LONE STAR WOLF RANGERS erotic, paranormal, romantic suspense series focusing on a group of former military personnel, wolf shifters who now form Texas Rangers Team W: Rush, Gideon, Dalton, Deacon and Gage. This is forensic accountant Cassidy Marlow, and Alpha wolf shifter/ Texas Ranger Zane ‘Rush’ Rushton’s story line. There is a slight cross over with the author’s Cerberus Group and Club Southside

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rush and Cassidy) RANGER’S JUSTICE follows in the aftermath of the suspected murder of Cassidy Marlow’s father Thomas Marlow. Ten years earlier, Thomas Marlow died is an explosion, an explosion Cassidy suspects was set by his business partner Joseph Hollister. Fast forward ten years, vowing revenge for her father’s murder, Cassidy begins an investigation into her step-father, a man with connections to the Del Toro Cartel but Cassidy is unaware of the proverbial hornet’s nest she has poked, and quickly becomes the target of the people in charge. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers Team W has covertly been investigating the same organization, an organization that is also involved in money laundering and human trafficking. When Cassidy finds herself in too deep, wolf shifter and Texas Ranger Zane ‘ Rush’ Rushton becomes our heroine’s guardian and protector, even in the face of her refusal to stand down.

The world building follows the formation of Texas Rangers Team W; Cassidy’s desperate attempts to uncover the truth about her father’s death; and the take down of the man she blames for destroying her life.

The relationship between Rush and Cassidy begins acrimoniously as Cassidy refuses to listen or stop her personal one-woman army of destruction. Cassidy is reckless, vulnerable, strong-willed, a liability and most often TSTL (too stupid to live), refusing to accept she is not capable of taking down the Cartel, alone. There is often times a struggle for author’s between a strong heroine or a heroine who is borderline b*tch. Rush is determined to prove Cassidy needs help but his wolf has plans for something more permanent. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Texas Rangers Team W: Gideon, Dalton, Deacon and Gage Cassidy’s boss and her father’s best friend Marcus Kane; Cassidy’s younger sister Sadie; Step-father Joseph Hollister, and several members of the Del Toro cartel. Deacon’s story line is next.

RANGER’S JUSTICE is a story of secrets and obsession, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and love. The action packed premise is intriguing and enchanting; the romance is limited to a fated relationship; the characters are magical, empowering and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 14, 2023

She’s everything he doesn’t deserve. And when danger strikes, everything he stands to lose.

Serious, focused, and surly are just a few of the things Cooper has been called since he left the Seals and started working at Cerberus’ black ops security firm. He continues to have recurring nightmares and often questions his own judgment, especially when it comes to women. His preference is casual, no strings attached relationships. What he got was a sassy spitfire with fire in her eyes. He knew from the moment she ran into his arms that she wasn’t anything like his other clients and her case would be his.

A forensic accountant who knows too much, Anabella Foster has spent her life working toward one goal, to never have to depend on anyone but herself… until the day she realizes someone is trying to kill her. A failed knife attack drove her to the security firm and when they take her case the fiercely independent accountant will have to submit to being under the watchful eye of the former Seal, with a hard stare and looks as hot as Hades.

As Cooper wrestles with his growing feelings for his client, the killer gets closer. It becomes clear that Annabelle’s attacker isn’t going to give up, and Cooper realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Danger and desire go hand in hand…

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 7, 2025

A brutal ambush. A lone wolf determined to survive. A love destined to heal and ignite

Sable Morse barely escapes a massacre that wipes out her pack, her heart shattered and her soul burning for revenge. Alone in the Montana wilderness, she rebuilds her life, training wild mustangs and fighting her way through the barrel racing circuit, each victory bringing her closer to the men who destroyed her world.

Bryce Savage has everything—fame as a champion bronc rider and a legacy to uphold at Copper Canyon Ranch. But when he crosses paths with Sable at the National Finals in Las Vegas, everything changes. A single night of raw passion ends with Bryce doing the unthinkable—marking her as his fated mate.

But Sable’s past won’t stay buried. The men who killed her pack are watching, waiting for the right moment to strike again. Sable has a choice to make—hold onto the pain that has defined her for so long, or embrace the mate who challenges her to fight for more than vengeance.

•••••

REVIEW: ALPHA’S VOW is the third instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult COPPER CANYON SHIFTERS erotic, paranormal romance series. This is wolf shifters Sable Morse and Bryce Savage’s story line. ALPHA’S VOW can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Sable and Bryce) ALPHA’S VOW follows in the wake of the decimation of Sable Morse’ pack. While herding the wild mustangs, the wolf pack was attacked by an organized group of hunters, wiping everyone out but our story line heroine. Vowing revenge, Sable rebuilds and reengages her life, all the while, on the hunt for the men responsible but a one-night stand finds Sable mated to bronc rider Bryce Savage, a mating of which she did not approve. Refusing to be claimed, Sable continues her search for the hunters, reluctantly accepting the help of the men at Copper Canyon Ranch. As Sable continues to push Bryce Savage away, their mating link is a constant pull towards a happily ever after.

The world building focuses on the accidental mating and claiming of our story line heroine. Sable refuses to accept Bryce as her mate, as she desperately hunts for the men who killed her pack. One by one, Sable takes down the men responsible, only to discover that revenge is not always as sweet as she thought it would be.

The relationship between Sable and Bryce is one of immediate attraction; an accidental mating in the heat of the moment, and the struggling but building love between two people whose lives are converging in more ways than one. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

We are reintroduced to Colt Savage and his mate Briar: Landon and Dakota, as well as Rush, who all pitch in to take down the wolf pack killers. The requisite evil has many faces.

ALPHA’S VOW is a story of betrayal and vengeance, speciesism and discrimination; acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated ; the characters are animated and desperate.

I always knew I was different, but I had no idea a wolf hid beneath my skin—until I met him.

Isabella
My mentor died under suspicious circumstances. Now I’ve inherited his old vet clinic—and a mystery. Locals whisper he pried too deep into the forests of Shadow Hollow.
I can’t ignore the clues he left behind. Unknown to me, my grandmother was a wolf shifter banished for marrying a human. Then Ryder appears—alpha, protector, and dangerously magnetic. He warns me to leave the past buried. But I can’t.
Around Ryder my wolf side stirs for the first time, craving release. But I can’t shift.
Ryder stands beside me, though the pack Elders don’t trust half-shifters like me. I refuse to run.
Their acceptance of me could save us—or destroy us all.

Ryder
As the alpha of the Nightshade Pack, the weight of our survival rests on my shoulders. With shifter birth rates plummeting and tensions rising, finding a solution has never been more urgent.
Then I met Isabella. From the instant our paths crossed, I knew she was mine. But how can I claim her when she thinks she is a human? Even once she knows there is a wolf inside her she is unable to shift.
With Crimson Claw stalking the shadows, hunting wolves and anyone who stands in their way, her inability to shift puts her in more danger. But Isabella is more than she knows—and I’ll risk everything to uncover the truth.

REVIEW: FATED WOLF’S DESTINY is the first instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult CASCADE WOLF CHRONICLES paranormal, romantic suspense series focusing on the Nightshade Pack of Shadow Hollow. This is Pack alpha Ryder Stone, and veterinarian Isabella ‘Bella’ Gordon’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ryder and Bella) FATED WOLF’S DESTINY follows in the wake of the arrival of veterinarian Isabella Gordon. When her mentor died under mysterious circumstances in Shadow Hollow, Isabella discovered she inherited the old man’s veterinarian practice, a practice set in the unwelcoming town where her grandmother once lived but all is not as it appears to be; the town is run by wolf shifters, and Isabella Gordon is an outsider digging in where she doesn’t belong. Pack alpha Ryder Stone knows immediately Isabella Gordon is more than human, but more specifically , Isabella is his mate but when the Crimson Claw begins to circle the town, Ryder becomes guardian and protector of the woman with whom he will fall in love.

The relationship between Bella and Ryder begins acrimoniously as Bella is an unwelcome visitor in Shadow Hollow. The majority of the Pack members view Bella as a problem, while the others know Bella , more than many, has been a member for a very long time. As Ryder is pulled to the woman he will quickly call mate, someone else is targeting our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are limited but intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of energetic, leery and angry secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Ryder’s second in command and brother Lucas, Sheriff Edmund Barnes, as well as several pack members, including Marjorie Reed and Dorothy Canning. Lucas’ story line is next.

FATED WOLF’S DESTINY is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets, mistrust and suspicion,acceptance and love. The very familiar premise is intriguing and entertaining- I feel like I have read this story before; the romance is fated and fast; the characters are animated.

•••••

REVIEW:  KNOX’S FATE is the first instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult SILVER FALLS SHIFTER erotic, paranormal,romance series. This is alpha of the bear clan Knox Wilder, and human Ruby Edwards’ story line.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Knox and Ruby) KNOX’S FATE follows in the wake of the arrival of Ruby Edwards. Ruby’s aunt Lorraine died, leaving our heroine her house located in Silver Falls but something about Silver Falls wasn’t quite normal, and Ruby Edward was about to come face to face with her future. Enter Knox Wilder. Knox is the alpha of the Silver Falls Bear clan, and as such is determined to protect his clan at all costs. Working alongside Ruby as she makes repairs to her aunt’s crumbling home, Knox begins to suspect Ruby Edwards is his mate, a woman whose arrival in Silver Falls sparks an interest from shifters afar. Silver Falls has more secrets than anyone should know, and our heroine may be sitting on top of the biggest secret of all.

Knox knows immediately that Ruby is his mate but Ruby is human, and there are rules and conditions about inviting a human into the supernatural world. Ruby easily accepts the presence of shifter, and will become completely aware of what is happening and why, although she is often TSTL, and her stubbornness threatens her future going forward. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

KNOX’S FATE is a story of secrets and lies, magic and mystery, shifters and greed. The premise is magical and entertaining; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are desperate and dynamic. KNOX’S FATE ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger, you have been warned.

••••••••••••

REVIEW:  THE PLAYER is the seventh instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult CLUB SOUTHSIDE erotic, BDSM , romantic suspense series. This is Cerberus operative Seth Newcomb , and FBI agent Hope Pearson’s story line. THE PLAYER can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading the series in order

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including scenes of BDSM, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Seth and Hope) THE PLAYER follows FBI Agent Hope Pearson and Cerberus operative Seth Newcomb as they are tasked with infiltrating the high end, English $ex club The Citadel, ferreting out the organization known as the Obsidian Cartel but operating as a married couple in the BDSM lifestyle hides a barely veiled tempestuous relationship between Seth and Hope. Months earlier, Hope experienced the ultimate betrayal with the added injury of a perceived betrayal by the people at the top but forced to work alongside a man she partially blames for her inability to trust, Hope finds herself falling for the man who will risk his own life to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The world follows the search for clues, information and the secrets behind The Citadel, and the Obsidian Cartel but Cerberus suspects a mole within their organization, a mole who is feeding pertinent information to the people Cerberus is trying to take down. With the threats becoming a reality, Seth and Hope find themselves facing down an enemy with an unknown agenda.

The relationship between Seth and Hope is an enemies to lovers ; a fake married in the face of a dangerous undercover operation, that should they fail, would threaten the safety of mankind. Hope continues to struggle with issues of trust but Seth is determined to prove he is worthy of her love. The $ex scenes erotic and impassioned.

The secondary and supporting characters include Cerberus leader Robert Fitzwallace, operatives Sawyer and Wyatt, as well as the requisite evil involved with the Citadel and the Cartel.

THE PLAYER is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, abuse and terrorism, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and intense; the second chance romance is provocative; the characters are determined and desperate.
