Now he has to determine how to set her free, and if he can, how he can ever let her go.
This is a very short 61 page novella. It's hard to pack a lot into so few pages. Emma is in trouble. Something bad is going on in her pack and the alpha Liam is biting people and they are getting sick. He's got a black witch with him and she's the one that's helping him give everyone he bites a terrible illness. Once it gets in the blood he controls them. When Emma gets bitten she leaves town to find to find Kyle the man she loved but let go a year ago. Kyle lost a fight with Liam after Liam and his friends fought dirty the night before and busted up his knee so he couldn't win their fight. He had everything and lost it in one night. Now Emma has found him and although he resists at first he can't turn her away. Liam follow Emma to the town Kyle is in and a fight ensues. Can Kyle defeat Liam and get the love of his life back as well as his pack as their alpha? That's the question in this novella. While there is plenty of action i wish it had been a bit longer with more details of a relationship between Kyle and Emma. It has the potential to really be great. Still a good read for someone who wants just a good evening of reading. 3 out of 5 stars for Bitten by Deceit by Shawntelle Madison.

Destined to be the alpha female over her Manhattan pack, Aggie was fully prepared to take on her role until her father arranges a marriage without her consent. She wants out–but the only way is with money–something her new controlling husband won't give her to escape. But such odds never kept a wolf like Aggie down. To sever the twisted tie, she finds herself pitted against raging wood nymphs and backstabbing brownies in an underground supernatural fighting ring. With every victory, the sweet taste of freedom is closer, but her husband isn't willing to let her go that easily. Until the very end, Aggie must fight for the one thing she's never had: a choice
This is a prequel novella to Shawntelle Madison's Coveted series. As it says in the blurb this is Natalya Stravinky's friend Aggie. Aggie is a bad ass and in this novella she's got to be tough because her controlling father is set to marry her off. She resists at first then gives in when she thinks there might be a chance it's a love match. For a while everything feels good. She might actually have found the right man but then it all comes crashing down when he reveals his actual plans. Aggie is pretty much locked out of everything in life she cares about and set to be a trophy wife. Not going to happen. Aggie has to find a way to get out of this mess and she finds a friend or two to lead her in the right direction. It took me a while to get into this but by the end i was hooked and we at the end are left hanging a little as we have to wonder what's up for Aggie next. 3 out of 5 stars for Bitter Disenchantment by Shawntelle Madison.

This is book 2 in the Coveted series by Shawntelle Madison. I have not read book 1 but i have it and am reading in reverse it seems. I think you can read this on it's own but it would be better with having read book 1 first to catch some of the back story to this book. That being said i really enjoyed this book. It's my first book by the author and i was pleasantly surprised how much i liked it. There are werewolves, Wizards, mermaids, muse's and a whole bunch of interesting characters. Natalya ( love the name) is a interesting character. She's got a support group full of friends who help her with her quirks. Nick being a one of them is a wizard and a love interest of hers as well as her ex boyfriend Thorn. Loved both these buys but i really felt for Nick. Natalya still loves Thorn but can't have him as he's supposed to marry another wolf in a arranged marriage for the pack as he is become their alpha male or leader. While Natalya is dealing with her quirks and her feelings she has to also go after her father when he is kidnapped and then face the trials in order to become officially a member of the pack. Shawntelle Madison brings all these characters to life for me and you can get a pretty vivid picture in your mind of the story as it unfolds. I tried sitting up to read this in one sitting but couldn't quite make it. If i could i would have. Those are the best kinds of books i find. I would encourage you to try this series out. It's got a bit of everything and it all comes together to pull you through the story. 5 out of 5 stars for Kept by Shawntell Madison.
