Manhattan Dragon by Genevieve Jack
The Treasure of Paragon series #3. Dragon shifter paranormal romance. Can be read as a stand-alone but better as part of the series since prior characters (family) have roles in this story.
Dragon shifter Rowan Valor is used to restarting her life. She’s lived in New York for over three hundred years and knows humans won’t understand someone who doesn’t age. When Detective Nick Grandstaff interrupts her stealing diamonds for her hoard, she erases his memory of the event but he’s a detail oriented person and knows something is wrong about that night. And it turns out, she’s actually met him in the past which helps support the wild story she tells him about being a dragon! And if vampires really own some underground lair, Nick knows he needs to help stop the human trafficking.

Dark and amusing, this story about dragons from another world will keep you entertained while they try to shut down the vampires. Yes, there are bad vampires and it gets tense and then family gets involved. But she’s a Red Dragon! Nick loves red. And her wings are so soft!
The Birkin bag short conversation between Rowan and Harriet is hilarious!
In actuality, there is more suspense than humor, but this is definitely my favorite sibling so far.

Welcome to another round of "I'm So Torn!". On the one hand I was really digging the story here. Grateful makes enough of an impression that her immediate lust for Rick can be overlooked since, well she acknowledges her bad decision making skills and the need to tone it back. The mystery surrounding the creepy happenings at her new house kept me reading and while I wasn't particularly fond of either guy (for reasons I'll explain) neither one seemed like a complete Alphahole.

So far so good!

And then we get to the explanation part of who Rick is, who Grateful is (was/could be/whatever), her place in the universe and oh yeah the TRUTH behind her life.

Firstly - the whole plot with her father's dark secret surrounding her birth didn't feel needed. I see why Jack had it as part of the story--it helped to bridge connections with another character's motivations--yet how disturbing to hear such (even if it was a completely normal and unfortunately frequent emotional response).

Secondly - Rick goes from mysterious sex on a stick graveyad caretaker who seems a little bit too interested in Grateful (though not in a creepy stalker way) to...well being kind of creepy. You find out that he was married to various previous incarnations of Grateful through the centuries; she's a reincarnated piece of his beloved's soul and they are stronger together then apart...also he is severely weakened without her love/sex/blood. Soon as the cat is out of the bag he is suddenly like 'And to solve all our problems marry me!' and POUTS and SULKS every time she reasonably states its not a good idea. He basically uses her intense physical response against her as perfectly rational reasoning.

Thirdly - Logan goes from being a 'aw poor puppy!' to 'dear lord could you be more suffocating?' fairly quickly. Granted Grateful sees what is going on and understands that she can't just...keep him as her ghostly servant/emotional support, so good on her for recognizing it was a bad idea. By the time his ah lingering spirit problem is figured out I was ready to smack him, bury him and hand Grateful over to her scheming, manipulative ex (its bad when the guy who stole your money is the less evil of the men you know).

Fourthly - its a spoiler the ghost sex with Logan was SUPER CREEPY. SUPER DUPER 100% CREEPY. That could just be me though, I've never been into the whole 'my lover is a phantasm of energy/smoke/mist' genere of paranormal romances, but it seems pretty popular.

And while I admire the fact that Grateful stood up and said 'Hey stop deciding my life for me!', its kind of a moot point given the circumstances of Rick staying powerful enough to defeat the creepies involve her. I also felt like Logan's resolution should have been given a bit more time--a lot happens at the end and the mystery of him is kind shoehorned in between figuring out the bad guy's motivations and saving all of humanity.

Windy City Dragon by Genevieve Jack
The Treasures of Paragon series #2. Dragon shifter and vampire mob romance. Can be read as a stand-alone but there is an overall arc for the series that is expanded with this book.
Tobias is an old dragon living as a human pediatric cardiologist doctor in Chicago. He meets Sabrina when she feeds from Tobias and tries to make him forget her. But her vampire mind skill doesn’t work on the dragon and he’s drawn into her life and the underground mob life.

Sabrina is supposed to take over for her father, the mob boss. Her father has made sure she has the skills and loyalty to rule the coven. Tobias will need his dragon to make it out of underworld he finds himself in and use his skills to help Sabrina.

Dark and gritty with a bit more mob action than I prefer but it was fun for me to imagine an underground mob in Chicago, since that’s my hometown. Their romance grows as fast as the danger. Sabrina is strong and takes a lot of the alpha role here. I loved Tobias helping the little girl with a magic unicorn necklace when he couldn’t save with his skills.

Looking forward to reading more of this dark dragon shifter series.

The Ghost in the Graveyard by Genevieve Jack
Knight Games series #1. Paranormal romance on the edge of erotica. Cliffhanger.
Grateful Knight moves to the small town of Red Grove and an unusual house at the edge of a graveyard. She meets a hot man on the way into town and immediately is fantasizing about being with him. She finds out Rick is way more than expected and he says connected to her from more than just her current life. A ghost in the house warns her about Rick but the ghost has his own agenda. Magic is everywhere and Grateful’s life will never go back to ordinary.

Super steamy hot with magic and creatures and past lives all mixed together. I felt a bit like a ping pong ball keeping up with new introductions of paranormal, people, and how it all connects to Grateful. I didn’t expect the Luke twist in the last quarter but won’t give more details. I will say that Grateful handles it all with surprising acceptance. I would have been out of there!

I liked other series a bit better by this author. This was certainly one of her earlier works.
