Where There's Smoke by Melissa Huxley The smoke cleared, but the fire remained… The fire took everything I worked for: My rescue. My livelihood. My home. But I won’t let it take my passion for the lost animals of this world. In time, I will rebuild, but for now, the only roof over my head is my car. I had every intention of sleeping off the adrenaline and anxiety in my little bubble of solitude until a grumpy firefighter practically drags me to his firehouse where he demands I stay put and take time to heal from the disaster. How can I heal when the arsonist is still out there and the entire firehouse is insisting I’m an omega? I’m a beta. Always have been, always will be, but something about these men is making me doubt that reality, and with each passing day, I’m finding it harder to disagree with them. I didn’t expect to find love when the smoke cleared. With the scent lingering, and the destruction ever present, will the ashes nurture hope and a new beginning for ...

Packed in the Firehouse by Melissa Huxley The fire started, and I never wanted it to go out… The fire took everything from me. My home. My memories. The stability I fought tooth and nail for, giving my son the life he deserved. But it was all gone, destroyed in a matter of minutes as I helplessly watched. Escaping with our lives and nothing more, Luka and I headed for the shelter, determined to rest before starting over tomorrow, creating a new life from scratch once again. Three Alphas wouldn’t have it though, surrounding us and demanding we stay with them and the other firefighters at the station. I was reluctant to say yes, and if I had been alone, I would have shot them down. But Luka deserved to feel safe after what we had been through. And after all, it was only supposed to be for a few nights… I didn’t expect to find love in the aftermath of the smoldering embers of my life, but would the traumas of my past douse the flames before they could fully ignite? Packed in...

Sincerely, Pack Pucked by Melissa Huxley They were my pen pals, and now I’m their pregnant omega… For two years, we were confidants, but my online friends always felt out of reach. My anxiety could never compete with my curiosity and I always pushed them away when they were determined to finally meet me and reveal the identities of Pack Pucked. It should have been easy, but life got in the way. Well, more like biology got in the way. Throwing a surprise heat into the mix sent me down a spiral of missed connections: Two strangers. Two missing numbers. One ruined phone. And one baby on board. I was living on thin ice, unable to move forward with my life suddenly on hold. Pack Pucked were determined to help, but that wasn’t what I wanted.. Thankfully, they tracked me down, fitting the final pieces together when I thought they were gone for good because sometimes what we needed and what we wanted weren’t the same. I might be pucked and pregnant, but if Saint, Percy, Jasper, a...

Pucking With My Head by Melissa Huxley They were my student’s single dads, and now I’m their pregnant Omega… My life was complicated enough with family expectations and boundaries I couldn’t cross. I didn’t need more on my plate, but I couldn’t resist. The only plan was to help their daughter learn to skate and give them a helping hand with an extra nanny gig, filling my time with people who made me happy. Nothing else was supposed to happen. We all made that very clear. But biology had other ideas… My heat came, and with no way to stop it, I pulled in the three Alphas I had been pushing away, all desire to keep our lives strictly professional thrown out the window. That should have been the end of it, us going our separate ways, but life wasn’t done with the surprises just yet. With a baby on the way, a double dose of family drama, one excited little girl, and four parents trying to get life to stop pucking with our heads… things certainly weren’t easy, but I had to hope it was...

Surprise Mother Pucker by Melissa Huxley He was a one-night stand, and I’m their pregnant omega… again!? It wasn’t meant to be anything more than a wild night. A little drinking. A little romp. Not a baby and an alpha baby daddy I can’t find, despite my best efforts. A year and a half later, I’m a single mother out on the dating scene, falling for another alpha—Eli—and hoping his pack welcomes me when the time comes. If they are anything like him, willing to accept me and all my baggage, I may be one lucky omega. But it turns out our meeting was anything but luck… One surprise leads to another, and there he is, in all his glory—baby daddy number one, the man I never thought I’d see again. He’s unprepared for what I had waiting for him, causing my anxiety to build by the second. I had so little time in my happy bubble with Eli, where the perfect life was taking form in more ways than one. And now, it could all fall into shambles… or maybe these alphas are ready to shock me...

Pucking the Enemy by Melissa Huxley hey were the enemy, but now I’m their pregnant Omega… College was meant to be fun, a time away to figure out who I was while attending university with my childhood best friend and avoiding an arranged marriage my parents tried to force upon me. Then every plan I had fluttered away after one party, one choice to follow my desires. A one-night stand turned into so much more when my heat kicked in, pulling Roman, Phillip, and Cormac down with me for a night of unexpected passion. They were everything my Omega heart could ever want, until I found out who they truly were… No matter how deep the rivalry, it didn’t change the predicament I was in. I was pregnant, falling in love, and the cherry on top was their devotion and eagerness to be dads and care for me like I was the missing piece they never expected to find. And yet, the perfect future I could have would be nothing without my best friend, loving me the only way he knew how. Pucking th...

Resurrection Walk by Michael Connelly Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. After getting a wrongfully convicted man out of prison, he is inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence. He enlists his half brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, to weed through the letters, knowing most claims will be false.

Now Haller has an uphill battle in court, a David fighting Goliaths to vindicate his client. The path for both lawyer and investigator is fraught with danger from those who don’t want the case reopened and will stop at nothing to keep the Haller-Bosch dream team from findi...

Puck Around and Find Out by Sarah Blue It’s not easy building a pack when your father forbids you from dating any of his New Haven Foxes hockey players. But Sloane Applegate is an Omega on a mission and her current target is none other than a surly Alpha defenseman who is supposed to be off-limits. It starts off simple, dating in secret, and making sure that her father doesn’t find out she’s being courted by one of his players. But things get a little more complicated when the team’s mascot and new goalie also catch the Omega's eye, on and off the ice. No matter how intensely feelings and pheromones are pushing them together, secrets threaten to destroy this pack before they’re even bonded. Hopefully, by some small miracle, they can come together and be the pack Sloane has always dreamed of. This is book three in the interconnected Pucked Up Omegaverse series. It can be read as a standalone. My Review: My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book. This book is very g...
