Gray’s stage name is Trouble. He’s earned it.

When he goes onto stage in heat, it’s clear he needs a Daddy. But that’s not all he gets the night he meets an older man with fading blue hair and a leather riding jacket. This Daddy already has a boy, and that boy wants to play with Gray too. In fact, the boy might be even more wild than Gray.

The three men just want to have fun, but somewhere along the way that fun becomes more complicated. For the first time in Gray’s life, he might be okay with that. Especially when an unexpected surprise changes everything.

Fairy Daddy is the story of three men who find their happily ever after together without needing to tame their wild hearts. It’s set in the same omegaverse as the Heron Manor series, but stands alone.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Dear god, Fairy Daddy is a delicious romance by Amy Bellows. The first in the Riding Home series, this omegaverse tale is awesome. 

This menage romance is as sweet as can be, with lots of heat, and some great humor. 

It starts with Chris and Revv who are in an open relationship. What follows is them discovering that Gray is their third, adding perfectly to their relationship.

Of course, it's the menage dynamics that really make this one so damn good. This is a great illustration of why menages are necessary for some people. Without Gray, Chris and Revv were never going to be complete. But, damn, he really adds a whole new dimension to their lives. 

The sex in this one is scorching hot. There's heat sex, group sex, and more. There's exhibitionism and voyeurism that will leave you devouring this read quickly. 

Of course, the men all are complex, with wonderfully developed backstories. 

Fairy Daddy is even better than I was expecting. This is yet one more fabulous book by Amy Bellows. just read it!

A Nest for Eli (Alaskan Pebble Gifters #6) by Amy Bellows

Eli loves his job as a hired fist. He gets to help pregnant omegas through a very intimate and personal moment in their lives—giving birth.

When Maxim, an alpha polar bear shifter, asks for Eli’s help making an app to pair hired fists with pregnant omegas in need, Eli immediately agrees. He doesn’t expect to be so captivated by Maxim’s kind blue eyes and quiet intelligence. After all, Eli’s never felt attracted to another alpha before.

But Maxim makes him question everything.

When their friendship turns into a passion more life-changing than Eli has ever known, the biggest question he has is this: how will Maxim feel about being in a relationship with a hired fist? Is Eli willing to quit his job to be with him? And if he does, what will happen to the pregnant penguin shifters who need his help?

A Nest for Eli is book 6 of The Alaskan Pebble Gifters series, and will not make sense unless you have read the entire series. While Eli’s and Max’s story is more focused on MPreg than any other book in the Alaskan Pebble Gifters series, neither of the main characters become pregnant. You can still expect penguin chicks at the end, nesting, and lots of penguin shifter nonsense.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

A Nest for Eli is the sixth book in the Alaskan Pebble Gifters series. This Amy Bellows series is one I'm simply obsessed with. I truly can't get enough of it. 

Two alphas who fall in love. Their relationship is definitely sweet. But add in the pregnancy, and wow - I couldn't put it down. Seeing them become dads is just so damn perfect. So sweet. So heartwarming. And so damn compelling. 

I'm not even going to bother to talk much about the story. Basically, just read it if you love nesting. No one writes better nesting scenes. Everything about the nest scenes make me smile, laugh, and swoon. And you gotta love King George. Seriously, I couldn't stop laughing. 

I effin love this story. A Nest for Eli is just a fabulous romance. I can't recommend this Alaskan Pebble Gifters series enough. Amy Bellows continues to impress and delight me with every book. Just read it if you enjoy some humor with your shifters. 

Dear Daddy, Please Praise Me (A Naughty or Nice Story Book 5) by Luna David & Amy Bellows

Dear Santa, I want a Daddy who will take care of me...

Sanders doesn’t believe he’ll actually find a Daddy through a dating app. He’s not much to look at, and his life is a mess. A Daddy would never be interested in someone like him. But he’s lonely.

He hasn’t been kissed for three long years.

Briggs moved to the small tourist town of Red Canyon, Utah to get away from his fast-paced life in Chicago. But he also moved away from most of his dating prospects. Downloading a dating app seems like an obvious choice. The boy he messages is sweet, nervous, and drinks up every word of praise Briggs gives him. But he’s too nervous to meet face to face, claiming that Briggs won’t like him as much in person.

How can Briggs convince his boy that he’s everything a Daddy could ask for?

Dear Daddy, Please Praise Me is part of the Naughty or Nice multi-author series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but there are so many boys hoping that holiday magic will bring them their perfect Daddy, why not grab them all?

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Dear Daddy, Please Praise Me is a fantastic romance by Luna David and Amy Bellows. Part of the multi-author A Naughty or Nice Story series, it's easily read as a standalone.

I was already an avid fan of Amy Bellows, but this is my first time reading a Luna David story.

This all starts with the same theme as the rest of the series - an ad written to Santa via a dating app, looking for a Daddy.  I love the way Sanders and Briggs become friends in real life, while starting an online relationship without knowing they know one another. And the reveal scene is perfect! Just perfect! 

Basically, I love Sanders. He's adorable, insecure, lovable, and easily burrowed his way into my heart. I just love him. And there's there's his dyslexia, which adds a lot of dimension to his character. It's well written, with knowledge and care. I definitely appreciate the way the authors handle this. 

As for Briggs, oh man, what can I say? His storyline is great and his personality is positively perfect for Sanders. Briggs is a great Daddy, totally loving and caring.

Their story includes some sexting, some lace, and a whole lot of smiling on my part. Their tale includes a bookstore, a coffee shop, and a hole to Narnia (another scene I love!) I love everything about this story. And damn, I love how often I laughed. 

Written in alternating first person pov, the reader gets both narratives, easily bringing both men to life. 

Overall, I love Dear Daddy, Please Praise Me. This Luna David and Amy Bellows combo is charming, sweet, and oh so hot. If you enjoy sweet Daddy romances that will make you smile, you need to read this book. It is a pure delight. 

Expensive by Amy Bellows

In a world of fated mates rich parents pay warlocks to magically tie their omega children to alphas from the “right” families. At 18, Andrew Sullivan was magically tied to a seventy-year-old man who died before they had the chance to bond. Surgeons can remove a bond, but they can’t help Andrew. He’ll spend his life aching for love he can never have.

Timber has worked as a Daddy Dom in the porn industry for over ten years when his agent comes to him with a peculiar request. An omega from New York wants to make a film with him—a private film. The contract comes with a picture of a beautiful man and long list of kinky demands. At the end of the list is a nervous request:

“I’d like you to call me ‘baby boy.’ If you wouldn’t mind.”

Timber can’t refuse a request like that.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Expensive is a thrilling, stand-alone omegaverse romance by Amy Bellows. 

Both Andrew and Timber are intriguing from the start, with backgrounds that are tragic, as well as leaving them in desperate circumstances. They desperately need sex, desire kink, and can't get serious with someone, although they certainly bond emotionally.

Andrew's contract for sex with the porn star Timber leads to more than they could have ever imagined. It all starts with a connection they never expected and ends with an all consuming love. If you want heat, there's plenty of it. Public sex, some D/s, pain, mpreg, and eggs! 

As for the age play, it's beautifully done. I just wanted to snuggle up in a blanket fort with them. And, omg, my heart melted with the stuffed animals. It's so perfectly sweet. 

There's also plenty of emotion and angst, as they're in an impossible situation. Let's just say they have to suffer a lot before this one is over. 

Once again the author excels at world building, fully bringing these men, their circumstances, and their experiences to life. It is one hell of a read.

Expensive is sexy, sweet, and totally satisfying. If you're a fan of Amy Bellows, you will absolutely love this book. If you're a fan of Omegaverse romances but haven't yet read one of Amy's books, do so now! As for me, this is a definite for my re-read list.

A Handkerchief for Kade (Alaskan Pebble Gifters #5) by Amy Bellows

Amazon Link  - Available in KU
Goodreads Link

All I want is a clever person to play cards with at night. No funny business. You sleep in your bed, and I’ll sleep in mine. Must be clean, quiet, sober, and willing to go to bed at a reasonable hour. A preference will be given to applicants who can play cribbage and gin rummy.

Sure, Kade wouldn’t normally consider a position as a companion for a polar bear shifter sentenced to a life in the oil fields of Alaska’s North Slope. But he’s broke. And the pay is good.

He doesn’t expect the “ornery card player” to be so handsome. Or sweet.

Before long, Kade wishes some “funny business” was an option. Especially when he goes into heat two weeks early...

A Handkerchief for Kade is an age gap romance with an omega who loves makeup, D/s, and MPreg of the penguin egg variety. It’s book five of the Alaskan Pebble Gifters series, and will only make sense if you’ve read the other books.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

A Handerchief for Kade is a fabulous shifter romance by Amy Bellows. The fifth book in the Alaskan Pebble Gifters series, it is easily read as a standalone. 

I absolutely love this shifter world surrounding the Pebble Gifters series. The author adds a tremendous amount of emotion and details into the world that all add immensely to the beauty of this tale/series. 

Like the previous books, Kade's story is tender, sweet, and absolutely mesmerizing. I love it all. 

Otis and Kade. Two shifters. Both lonely and broken. Two shifters who have no reason or purpose anymore. Until they meet one another. Kade and Otis are perfect for one another. They each give the other a reason to live, fully completing each other. It is an awesome story. 

There is a lot going on that adds to the emotion. There's past pains and regrets to deal with. There's a kink and sexual preferences to explore. There's some breath play, bondage, voyeurism, and exhibitionism.

But, damn it, once again my favorite scenes are the nesting ones. I cannot get enough of the author's nesting scenes. They are amazing, written with both heart and humor. These scenes alone are worth the read.

This tale starts on the Slope, and includes all the details of life on the Slope. There's also some Anchorage scenes, with some previous characters.

Handerchief for Kade is a fantastic blend of shifters, cultures, traditions, daddy kink, and romance. I can't recommend this book and series enough! And trust me, you just can't go wrong with an Amy Bellows book.

A Mate for Lu (Alaskan Pebble Gifters #4) by Amy Bellows

Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link

Two single dads. One accidental pregnancy. Many, many shifter children.

Sam’s mate died four years ago, and penguin shifters mate for life. Sam is never allowed to love again. Even when he meets a kind and beautiful omega who his three children gravitate towards.

After working with Lu for a year, Sam has fallen deeply in love with him. And Lu’s feelings for Sam are painfully obvious.

Caught between the desires of his heart, and the expectations of his culture, Sam must decide what he’s willing to pay to reclaim his own happiness.

A Mate for Lu is a sweet and angsty love story between two single dads. It has hurt/comfort, MPreg of the penguin egg variety, and cameos from characters in the first three Alaskan Pebble Gifters books. A Mate for Lu is book four in the series, and will only make sense if you’ve read the first three books.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

A Mate For Lu is one of the sweetest books ever. The fourth book in Amy Bellows' Alaskan Pebble Gifters series, it is addicting! 

With a penguin shifter and a polar bear shifter falling in love, this story is full of love and tenderness. It's a heartfelt read with a forbidden relationship. Penguin shifters mate for life, even after death, but Sam can't resist Lu. Sam loves his mate, but he loves Lu too. Omg. Swoon.

Everything that follows is tender and beautiful. Also so damn sad. I love this book. I love these men. And I love their shifter traditions. And the shifter sex, swoon. And oh my...the fish sharing, the pebble rituals, eggs, and nesting!

Their story is full of secrets and lies, and love. It's a story of sexual confusion, fears, and doubts. And so much love!

I am absolutely in love with this world of shifters that the author created. It is all extraordinary. Everything about this world is special and makes me happy. I adore the differences between the polar bear and penguin cultures.

The author's writing is wonderful. The characters are all intriguing and lovable. The storyline is fabulous; both compelling and heart felt. She also delves into transgender shifters, which is a fascinating aspect of this tale. 

A Mate For Lu is sugary sweet and is one of my favorite books. Set some time aside for this stellar Amy Bellows shifter read. You won't regret it. 

Of Paper and Wood by Amy Bellows

TROY


To inherit the family fortune, I must marry a woman. But first I have one chance at a night of passion with a man.

I just wish I could share it with someone who would treat me more like a lover than a customer.

After all, it’s my first time. My only time.


PARK

Alesto Markin sics his werewolf lackey on anyone who can’t pay him back. One bite, and my life as I know it will be over. My only hope of paying off my staggering debt is my godfather’s brothel.

I just never expected the man who hired me to be young. Or sweet.

I certainly didn’t expect to fall in love with him.

Of Paper and Wood is a sweet love story of two men who share many firsts together. In a world of wands and werewolves, where their fate is either rags or riches, being together could cost them everything.

While Amy Bellows normally writes books set in the omegaverse. Of Paper and Wood is not. You can still expect magic, humor, and a big HEA.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Of Paper and Wood is an impressive read by Amy Bellows. Fantasy and magic are not my typical read, but for certain authors, I have to take a chance. And Amy Bellows is definitely one such author.

This is an emotional story of complete opposites. One's rich and being forced into marrying a woman. The other is poor and is going to be a sex worker to save himself. 

Troy and Park are both virgins when they meet. And it definitely isn't the typical brothel experience. The two men quickly become emotionally attached. 

This is a story with werewolves and magical mirrors, a story with depth and heart. There are plenty of steamy scenes, including a fun docking scene. But, the thing that takes this book from good to great, is the emotional depth of the feelings these two men have for one another. 

The author does a wonderful job developing this unique world and all it entails. Magic, fairy tales, wands, and more are all present. It's fun, entertaining, and a nice escape read.

Of Paper and Wood is a riveting story of first love and first times. Amy Bellows impresses in this story of making sacrifices for love. Her combination of fantasy, magic, kink, and emotion makes this a must read.

An Egg for Ansel (Alaskan Pebble Gifters #2) by Amy Bellows

Amazon Link - Available on KU

Goodreads Link

Blurb

Ansel has a thing for older men.

Specifically his friend’s father Daniel, a penguin shifter who is surprisingly innocent for a forty-seven-year-old man. Ansel probably shouldn’t flirt with Daniel. Or go on a date with him. Or send him photos that Daniel claims are “irresponsible.” But Daniel’s so cute when he blushes, and it’s just a bit of fun. Ansel’s learned that men only want one thing from him, and then they’re gone.

But Daniel doesn’t leave.

In fact, Daniel wants nothing more than to love and take care of Ansel. But Daniel is an omega, just like Ansel, and in polar bear shifter culture a “blood-bond” can only exist between two people who have a child that is genetically related to both of them. If he asks Ansel to be his mate, will he be able to make Ansel happy? Or will he be just one more guy who asks Ansel to settle for less than what he truly wants?

An Egg for Ansel is a second-chance age gap romance with plenty of lace, cuddling, and MPreg of the penguin egg variety. It’s the second book in the Alaskan Pebble Gifters series, and will only make sense if you’ve read the first book.

Review 

My Rating - 5+ Stars!

It's hard to put into words how unique Amy Bellows' Alaskan Pebble Gifters series is. Book one, A Pebble For Lewis, blew me away with it's tenderness and beauty. Book two, An Egg For Ansel, is the perfect continuation of this amazing world of shifters.

Ansel and Daniel are two characters with complex and interesting backgrounds. Their relationship is complicated as Daniel is the father of Ansel's best friend.  Adding to the fun, one is a penguin shifter, the other a bear shifter. Basically, the author knows how to take an idea and run with it!

Both men have been living in limbo. My heart hurts for Ansel and his problems, as he's always been stuck in the middle, unable to do what he wants. Meanwhile, Daniel's always been stuck waiting, for his ex, for something. 

Daniel is 47 and has never had the chance to be sexually active. He may be a father, but he's never had sexual contact outside of for procreation. What follows is a wonderful exploration into how good he can feel. I absolutely love this aspect of Daniel's character. It's fascinating and well as compelling.

My favorite thing about Amy's book are the way she manages to create such unique storylines. This book is  heart-warming, sweet, and tender, leaving me mesmerized and in a book funk afterwards. I hate present tense, but I hardly notice it's written this way. The writing is excellent and the story superb, instantly sucking me into these men and their story.

Honestly, there isn't a moment that isn't amazing. I love it all! The differences between the men leads to some great humor. And omg, the texts! The blueberries! Then add in the heat, and this is a book I want to re-read many times. And that's before we get the nest! I can't stop smiling. Armani! And glitter! Ansel is perfectly lovable! I can't get enough of these nesting scenes! 

This story is one of second chances at love and life. This quote really struck me. "The thing about second chances is that you have to be willing to take them. That's harder than it seems. There's so much opportunity to get hurt."

An Egg for Ansel is the perfect read when you just want to smile throughout a whole book. Amy Bellows excels in this combination of shifters, age gap, second chance at love and life, and lace. So much lace!!


Do be aware however that there are discussions of miscarriage, so avoid this if that's a trigger for you. 

A Pebble for Lewis by Amy Bellows

Amazon Link

Blurb

Lewis has never been kissed.

Omega penguin shifters aren’t allowed any physical contact with an alpha until their Pebble Gifting Season, when alphas present a pebble to their desired mate. Lewis has always followed the rules.

Until he meets Todd. A polar bear shifter.

Everyone knows that polar bear shifters are unreliable players who don’t mate for life. But Todd is breathtakingly beautiful, with a body as big as a mountain and a head of thick, white hair. Lewis can’t manage to look away.

In Anchorage Alaska where penguin shifters and polar bear shifters have been at odds for over a century, even a friendship between Todd and Lewis is forbidden. But as Lewis’s Pebble Gifting Season draws closer, their forbidden friendship turns into a passion neither of them can ignore.

A Pebble for Lewis is a 37,000-word best-friends-to-lovers romance with a size difference, knotting, and MPreg of the penguin egg variety. It’s set in the same world as the Heron Manor series, but it stands alone.

Review 

My Rating - 5+ Stars!

Wow! Amy Bellows' A Pebble For Lewis is one of the sweetest books I've ever read! I would really love to give it 5+ stars if I could.

This is a shifter book with all the feels. Two shifters from different worlds, one that mates for life, the other that mates only for a few years. Omg, yes! And Amy delivers this concept with a wonderful story.

There's an amazing world building that takes place, full of traditions and lores. To have a penguin and polar bear shifter fall in love, despite all the odds being against them, is just fantastic. But, omg, it's the pebble that truly got to me. It's just so beautiful. 

It's tough to explain how perfectly sweet this story is. It's honestly so darn sweet that I might have gotten a cavity from it. Yes, seriously, it's that sweet.

I don't want to bore you with the details, but A Pebble For Lewis is a must read. Do yourself a favor and read it when you're in the mood for a feel good, heart warming romance. You will not be disappointed.
