REVIEW: Shivaree Series by Cara McKenna





Backwoods
by

Book Blurb

A standalone prequel to Shivaree.

Shane thinks he's simply auditioning a new musician for his bar, but when Gabriel saunters into the Shivaree it becomes clear the man has more to offer than just his talent. Gabriel's got sexual charisma potent enough to make a straight man such as Shane lose his senses, lose sleep, lose himself to dark desires and not want to find his way back to reality.

What follows is not a love story. This is a story about an unforeseen attraction that brings a strong, sane man to his knees, and about lovers tangled up in each other too deep to know who's in control and who's helpless.

 

Shivaree

Book Blurb

Hot on the heels of a nasty break-up, Natalie’s truck dies and strands her deep in Louisiana’s sweltering backwoods. A glow beyond the trees and a haunting melody lead her to what she hopes is salvation.

The Shivaree is more than a bar. It’s a mysterious oasis where people go to escape into a cold drink and lose themselves against a warm body on the dance floor. Gabriel is its resident musician, gifted with unnerving talent and intoxicating sexual charisma. The only thing standing between Natalie and the perfect rebound is Gabriel’s possessive and domineering lover, and Natalie’s not afraid of a bully. Certainly not one built like Shane Broussard. She’s ready to discover the perfect remedy for heartache—two hot male bodies, one long, sultry, southern night.

Book Blurb

A sequel to Backwoods and Shivaree.Six months ago Natalie drove away from Louisiana and a three-day, two-man rebound to be reckoned with. Now back in snowy Rochester, she wasn't expecting to see either of those Southern gentlemen again. She certainly wasn't expecting to find one standing in her work parking lot one afternoon without a word of warning.Cold turkey is what Shane's after. He's been with his lover Gabriel for a year now-a year of hot sex and obsessive attraction that's left him with a death grip on the tattered remains of his heterosexuality and too many sleepless nights. Desperate for a clean break, Shane hopes hiding out at Natalie's for a week or two will do the trick. She sure as hell owes him one fine rebound.But Shane quickly discovers that banishing Gabriel from his heart and his head is easier said than done. His cold-turkey recovery is headed straight for an epic relapse, and Shane's going to have to make a choice-the traditional life he thinks he wants, or the man he can't seem to live without.


5 HEARTS

I'm going to combine my review for all three books in this series because in my mind they are all one big book. You can't read one without the other.

This series ROCKS!! Not just in an "I enjoyed it and want others to read it" kind of way but more of a "these scenes are going to my spank bank for eternity and I will never let go of the characters in my mind" kind of way.
I'm mentally challenged I know - but these three stories are made of awesome.

Cara McKenna is a floorless erotic writer. Her characters have depth and the sex is 100%, get you horny as a toad, HOT.

Originally I started reading this series out of order. I started on book two and fell in love with Gabriel and Natalie and found Shane to be the third wheel I wanted to kick off in the hope he would disappeared in the forest.

It wasn't until I was told by some very dedicated and truly fabulous book buddies that I had to STOP, do not pass GO, do not collect $200, just get my ass back to the first book. Thank the heavens I listened, because this series wouldn't have packed nearly as much punch if it was read out of order.

Starting at book one I fell utterly in love with Shane. I literally ached for him. He may have been gruff and broody but DAYUM he was one hell of a mighty fine gruff and broody man.

Half way through I started wishing that Gabriel would leave the love triangle so Natalie and Shane could have a more stable relationship and life.

In the end Cara McKenna had woven together a fan-fucking-tastic story. I loved the ups and downs, loved the way it pulled me in and made the outside world become non-ex
istent until I finished reading.

Highly recommend this to erotic romance fans and lovers of man on man action.
