In My Mailbox (95)
In My Mailbox is something was that started over at The Story Siren and I think it’s pretty awesome.
It’s a way to showcase the books that you gotten through different places.
Books you gotten in the mail, brought from a store, borrowed from the
library, received to write a review, or they can be

Night Blade (Colbana Files #2) by J.C. Daniels {ebook}
Kit Colbana is always biting off more than she can chew. She
has a knack for finding trouble. This time, though, trouble finds her. Someone
from her past drops a case into her lap that she just can’t refuse…literally.
People on the Council are dying left and right and she’s been requested to investigate the deaths. The number one suspect? Her lover, Damon. If she doesn’t clear his name, he gets a death sentence. Even if she succeeds? They still might try to execute him. Oh, and she’s not allowed to tell him about the case, either.
The stakes are high this time around, higher than they’ve ever been. Kit may be forced to pay the ultimate price to save her lover’s life…a price that could destroy her and everything she loves.

Frost Burned (Mercy Thompson #7) by Patricia Briggs {ebook}
Mercy
Thompson’s life has undergone a seismic change. Becoming the mate of Adam
Hauptman—the charismatic Alpha of the local werewolf pack—has made her a
stepmother to his daughter Jesse, a relationship that brings moments of
blissful normalcy to Mercy’s life. But on the edges of humanity, what passes
for a minor mishap on an ordinary day can turn into so much more…
After an accident in bumper-to-bumper traffic, Mercy and Jesse can’t reach Adam—or anyone else in the pack for that matter. They’ve all been abducted.
Through their mating bond, all Mercy knows is that Adam is angry and in pain. With the werewolves fighting a political battle to gain acceptance from the public, Mercy fears Adam’s disappearance may be related—and that he and the pack are in serious danger. Outclassed and on her own, Mercy may be forced to seek assistance from any ally she can get, no matter how unlikely.

Thrown by a Curve (Play By Play #5) by Jaci Burton {ebook}
She thinks she knows this player—but he has a
few surprise moves.
For Alicia Riley, her job as a sports therapist for the St. Louis Rivers baseball team is a home run—until she becomes the primary therapist for star pitcher, Garrett Scott. Out of the lineup with an injury, he’s short-tempered, hard to handle, and every solid inch, a man.
Right now, the only demand he’s making on Alicia is that she get him ready to pitch in time for opening day. Except the sexual chemistry between them is so charged, Alicia’s tempted to oblige Garrett just about anything. But both their careers are at stake—one bad move and it’s game over for both of them.
Garrett also feels the hot sparks between them, and the way he figures it, what better therapy is there than sex? Now all he has to do is convince the woman with the power to make the call.

Death, Doom and Detention (Darklight #2) by Darynda Jones {ebook}
The
normal part of Lorelei MacAlister’s life didn’t just slip away quietly the day
Jared Kovach came to town. Nope. The normal part of her life shattered. It
exploded. It burst into a gazillion shards of fleeting light.
It went out with a bang.
Goodbye normal.
Hello dark and eerie.
While her best friend, Brooklyn, is focusing all of her energy on helping Lorelei hone her abilities, Lorelei is dealing with the reality that Satan’s second in command has taken up residence inside her body. Oh, and the fact that she has a crush on the Angel of Death. But what a beautiful death it is. If those weren’t bad enough, something sinister has come to town and it wants nothing more than to hear Lorelei’s dying breath as it strangles it out of her.

capture one of the most powerful beings ever created? And will they find out
how to bring Jared back to them before it’s too late?

When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both of their families, Audra’s forced to help Vane remember who he is. He has a power to claim—the secret language of the West Wind, which only he can understand. But unlocking his heritage will also unlock the memory Audra needs him to forget. And their greatest danger is not the warriors coming to destroy them—but the forbidden romance that’s grown between them.

Wicked Cravings (The Phoenix Pack #2) by Suzanne Wright {ebook}
Despite
having been besotted with Dante Garcea since she was a child, wolf shifter
Jaime Farrow figures that it’s time to move past the crush. If he wanted her,
he wouldn’t have ignored her flirtatious behavior, right? Hiding her intense
attraction to him isn’t easy – especially now that they're part of the same
pack again – but with bigger issues to worry about and with the submissive wolf
act to maintain, Jaime is resolute on moving forward. Now if only the
workaholic control-freak would let her…
As the pack Beta, Dante doesn't have the space or time in his life for a relationship. As such, he ignores his intense hunger for the willful – and sometimes crazy – Jaime. Yet when her flirtations abruptly end, Dante finds that he doesn’t like losing her attention. He finds something else too – Jaime's hiding something. Determined to uncover her secret, he sets out to break through her defenses, even though being around her intensifies his cravings for her. What he finds is a problem that Jaime is convinced not even a powerful Beta can solve.

Wish Upon a Matchmaker by Marie Ferrarella
THREE-FOOT MATCHMAKER Ginny Scarborough has picked out
her new mommy-Danni Everett, the local celebrity chef who hired Ginny's widowed
father, Stone, to renovate her house. And Danni couldn't deny the immediate zing she felt for the handsome, green-eyed contractor...even
if they were brought together by a precocious four-year-old. So why was Stone
holding back when everything between them felt so right?
Stone's
heart had been, well, stone-cold for far too long...that is until he met the
beautiful and bubbly chef. Still, Danni was part of a world where Stone and his
little girl didn't belong-better to move on than risk the pain of losing love
again. But Ginny wouldn't take no for an answer, especially after even she
could feel the warmth Danni brought to her dad.
With
two stubborn adults to contend with, could little Cupid still make her dreams
of a family come true?
