Blog Spotlight and Review: Black River Pack Series by Rochelle Paige


Blog Spotlight and Review 




Synopsis

Meet the Tate brothers... and the mates fate has in store for them. 

Crying Wolf 
Grace Shaw is on the run from her crazy ex-boyfriend who refuses to believe their relationship is over. He's a cop and is willing to use police resources to track her down. So Grace comes up with a plan and tricks his fellow brothers in blue into thinking he is crying wolf a couple of times when he's reported her missing. Little does she know she'll go running into the arms of a real wolf when she finally makes her escape for real. 

She just wants to be left alone, but then she meets Hunter Tate - the alpha of the Black River Pack. Grace tries to hold Hunter at arm's length, but there's just no reasoning with an alpha male werewolf who insists she's his mate. 



Shoot for the Moon 
Eliza Reve knows that her ability to dream of future events sets her apart from others. Her gift became a curse when she wasn't able to save her mother or the alpha's son and she found herself exiled - a lone wolf. When she joins the Black River Pack, Eliza vows never to reveal her talent to anyone. Not even the man who has walked in her dreams for years. 

Spencer Tate is her mate, but her visions have told her that he will renounce her. When he doesn't recognize her as his mate, she agrees to the no-strings-attached affair he offers because she thinks it's the most she can hope for. Although her heart breaks as she falls deeper in love with him, she wants to spend as many days with Spencer as possible before he kicks her out of his life. 

When Spencer finally comes to his senses, he has his work cut out for him to convince Eliza that he wants her forever. When another she-wolf insists she's his mate instead, things get even more complicated. But Spencer isn't the alpha's second and enforcer because he isn't willing to fight for what's his, and he refuses to settle for anything less than Eliza as his marked and claimed mate. 




Thrown to the Wolves 
Annora Channing's entire world changes the moment she discovers she's a bear shifter. With mated wolves for parents, she should have been a wolf also. When the man she grew up thinking was her father realizes she isn't his daughter, he devises a plan to use her existence to his advantage in a way that will get her out from under his roof. 

When her situation goes from bad to worse, Annora escapes but is badly injured in the process. Luckily, Elias Reve comes to her rescue while on his way to Wolf's Point and the daughter he lost years ago. With nowhere else to go and nobody to turn to, Annora joins him on his journey and ends up running smack-dab into the arms of her mate. 

Parker Tate knows Annora is his the moment he lays eyes on her. When he manages to mate and mark her within hours of when they meet, he considers himself lucky. Then the trouble nipping at Annora's heels finds her and Parker realizes the path to claiming his mate won't be as easy as he thought - especially not with the bears involved.

I was very excited to read this box set of the Black River Pack by Rochelle Paige as I'm a paranormal romance fan. I was not disappointed in these books and loved how Rochelle flowed from one book to another in meeting the Tate brothers.



Book 1 - Crying Wolf 

This book is devoted to the eldest - Hunter, who is the Alpha of his pack and Grace, a clever, smart woman who has run away from an abusive situation. 

Grace is hiding from her ex-boyfriend (cop) and finally decides to stay at Wolf's Point to start a new life. Grace applies for a job at the local bar joint and must be approved by the owner (Hunter). Immediately Hunter knows he has found his mate, but must take it slow as he senses danger surrounding Grace. 

The story takes you on Grace's and Hunter passionate discovery of love between the two. Danger and self revelations occur between Hunter and Grace to bring them closer. 

Also, I was introduced to the other Tate brothers (Spencer and Parker) and how important the secondary characters would be in the next two books.

Book 2 - Shoot For The Moon

This book is devoted to Spencer and the discovery of his mate Eliza, which he been involved with for over year, but didn't know she was his fated mate. 

Since both Spencer and Eliza are strong characters, I enjoyed the reading both of their sides of the story. Eliza is a dream walker and must deal with the dreams which cast doubt on her relationship with Spencer, so she unwilling to commit, while Spencer reaches out to Hunter and Grace for help.

A rocky road, but love and trust wins out for both of them. Rochelle writes a compelling story that shows with a little help for family, things can work out. 

Book 3- Thrown To The Wolves

In this story, Parker, the youngest Tate brother meets his mate, Annora. Annora is running away from her family as she is a bear shifter and not a wolf shifter. Her so called father wants to trade her to another shifter to pay his debts. Parker is the protector and will protect Annora through hell and back in order to mate her. Both of them feel the pull, but danger is near as the wolf shifter that was supposed mate Annora is near and must be deal with.

I enjoyed Rochelle's writing style of through the eyes of each characters POV. I look forward to reading more from Rochelle. 

I highly recommend this book set to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance full of hot sexy passionate scenes for the over 18+ year old readers.

Journey through Jay and Lil's epic love story and explore the growing romance between Clink and Charlie, book after book at an incredible value. BOOK #1- A LIL' LESS BROKEN Lil's and Jay lived their very own fairytale biker romance. He was her first love, her only love. She was what he needed, what he wanted. Insecurities, fear and misconceptions lead Lil's to make a heartbreaking decision to abandon that life and love behind, before it consumes and destroys her as it did her mother years earlier.

BOOK 2- A LIL' LESS LOST Do fairytale's always have a happily ever after? Jay and Lil's had just found the love they once shared and foolishly lost. But, a horrific turn events threatens to end it forever. Jay must race against time to save his ol' lady Lil's and their baby before tragedy strikes. In this sequel we learn more about Jay, the deep love he has for his soulmate, and just how far he is willing to go to protect her. This novella is approx. 50,500 words and does not contain a cliffhanger ending like it's prequel. However, an epic love story like Lil's and Jay cannot possibly be wrapped up in two tidy little novella's... now can it? BOOK 3- A LIL' LESS HOPELESS Jay and Lils' epic tale of true love has unfolded, first in 'A Lil' Less Broken', followed by 'A Lil' Less Lost', and now concludes in the third installment of Tara Oakes' thrilling Kingsmen MC saga. Jay has proven his loyalty over and over... that he is willing to do whatever necessary for his one true love, his Lil' one, Julia. She just so happens to have an uncanny ability to find herself in need of that loyalty time and again. What happens when the tables turn and it is Lil's who must risk it all to save her ol' man? To prove once and for all, to him, and to the MC they call family that she is no longer the little girl they've known. But instead, is a fierce ol' lady determined not to stand idly by as everything she has worked so hard to regain is threatened. BOOK 4- BITTER SWEET DECEPTION The Kingsmen M.C's saga continues in this newest installment of Tara Oakes' tantalizing new series. In the first three novella's you've come to know and love the characters within the club. Jay and Lil's have had their epic love story play out over the pages of "A Lil' Less Broken", followed by "A Lil' Less Lost" and finally, "A Lil' Less Hopeless". While their fairytale is far from over, the next arc in the series concentrates on some of the other intriguing characters that have been woven throughout Jay and Lil's storyline. The question on everyone's mind is.... WHO IS CHARLIE? And what is she hiding? Planting herself deep within the club's inner circle, Charlie came to Chisolm with one goal in mind... to destroy the Kingsmen, M.C., no matter the personal cost. An unknown hatred fuels her mission to take them down. Pairing herself up with one of the club's bad boy's, the M.C.'s enforcer, Clink, seemed like just the ticket to get her in the door. Once inside the club she had been eyeing from afar, she comes to realizes things are very different from what she had imagined them to be. Villainizing the group as a whole for an injustice that was done to her many years earlier no longer seemed to fit with growing attachments and relationships she was forming.

Volume 1 of the Laid Bare novellas


 EXCERPT:


Just as I was taking in a sweeping gaze of the most magnificent Christmas party I’d ever attended, someone snuck up behind me and whispered in my ear, “You are such a little bitch, Dahlia.”
“Veronica,” I huffed, annoyed.
I tried to spin around to confront my verbal assailant—who also happened to be my best friend and cousin who delighted in driving me crazy—but before I could get my bearings, Veronica’s delicate, slender fingers slid over my eyes.
Everything went black, but the smells and sounds of the holidays were still all around me. Eggnog and cinnamon scents punctuated the air, and the comforting lull of classic holiday tunes filled my ears. But with my sight obscured as it was, there would be no more gazing at the yards and yards of multi-colored, twinkling lights draped from the raw wood beam rafters above me, and no more admiring the sparkling, decorated fifteen-foot fir in the far corner of the large banquet hall the party was being held in.
Prior to Veronica’s interruption, I’d been mesmerized by the tree with its shiny glass ornaments and bright lights adorning the branches. I found it amazing how the holiday glow made all the beautiful party guests look even more dazzling. Glamorous and sophisticated, all dressed in their holiday party finest and milling around, drinking too much champagne, having too much fun. But the glitz and glamour were momentarily hidden from me, thanks to Veronica’s hand over my eyes.
“Are you done,” I inquired. I made my tone sound miffed, but I wasn’t, not really.
“No, and don’t look now,” she replied from behind me, hand still in place.
“As if I could,” I interjected as I shifted from one way-too-high stiletto heel to the other. “So, why am I a bitch?” I continued. “And why in God’s name are you still covering my eyes?” 
“First, you’re not really a bitch,” Veronica replied apologetically. “And secondly, the answer to your other question, my dear, just walked in the door.”
Aha! Her answer, not to mention her tone, meant one thing and one thing only—he was here.


S.R. GREY INTERVIEW:

1)     What is your writing process? Do you listen to music or do you like silence?

I usually write in silence. Sometimes I will have the TV on low in the background, but not often. Music influences many of my stories, but it’s usually inspiration found while listening to songs when driving or running.

2)      Do you outline your story or just go where your muse takes you?

It depends. I generally like to draft a rough outline, with just a couple of notes here and there regarding chapters and the order of things. But I always end up changing it up, making adjustments. And sometimes I just go with an idea in my head and run with it.

3)      Besides Amazon, are there any other sites where your books are for sale?

Yes. Most of my novels are also available on Barnes & Noble, ITunes, Kobo, and the Ever After Romance App.

4)      What kinds of marketing [twitter, Facebook, blog, forums] are you involved with for promoting your book(s)?

I love social media! I am very active on Facebook, hosting Release Event parties and doing lots of takeovers. I also am active on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

5)      Do you find it difficult to juggle your time between marketing your current book and writing your next book?

Sometimes it is quite hard to juggle the two. Finding the right balance is important. I set aside writing time and marketing time.

6)      Some fun facts about you, which do you prefer – dogs or cats? Chocolate or vanilla? Coffee or Tea? Talk or Text? Day or Night?

Ooh, I love these. Cats, chocolate, tea, text, and night!

7)      Besides writing, do you have any other passions?

I do. I love to travel, and my goal is to see all 50 states. I’m up to 47, so I’m getting close.
I've also traveled to a number of other countries.

A few interesting facts about Author J.S. Scott
Author J.S.Scott trained and worked for years as a Registered Respiratory Therapist before becoming an Author.
She self published in April 2012 with no experience at all. “I put together my own bad covers and edited the stories myself. (Big mistake!) I used KDP Select when I first started and offered up the stories for free, alternating the freebies. To my surprise… I actually started selling some books.”  Then she really hit it when she started working on a serial romance trilogy that readers started to follow enthusiastically — The Billionaire’s Obsession, which she eventually packaged into a “complete set” last February, selling the lot for one very low price. “I was lucky enough to have the book sell very well… well enough to hit the USA Today and NYT Bestsellers. Since then, I’ve written complete novels that have also done well.”
All the books that she writes almost always feature an Alpha Male and have a happily ever after because she just can't seem to write them any other way!
