Greenlawn Hall is hiding something… But will uncovering the story of a lifetime cost this journalist her life?Journalist Ashley Ryan has reached celebrity status with her hit television show Tea with Monsters, and while she’s proud of her accomplishments, she’s craving a new challenge. A chance encounter with a woman that bears a striking resemblance to a movie star the world believes dead piques … world believes dead piques her curiosity and reinvigorates her drive. The hunt for the perfect story… This was why she became a journalist. Following the woman home, however, may prove the biggest mistake of her life.
Greenlawn Hall is steeped in mystery, protected by a guardian sworn to keep the estate safe from outsiders. A Lazar Panther has managed to contain the secrets of the supernaturals living within these walls for over two hundred years and Adrian Lazar will be damned if they’re exposed on his watch. It doesn’t matter that Ashley Ryan calls to his panther with her quick wit and determination, there is too much at stake for him to be distracted by this unfortunate attraction. After all, the monsters inside Greenlawn aren’t the only creatures watching…

This is a great start to a new series. We get to meet a cast of characters that I am hoping we will see more of in the coming books. Ash and Adrian start out a little rocky and of course mistakes are made but like any true mates they eventually end up where they need to be. There are questions left unanswered by this book (not that it ends on a cliffhanger) and I forward to the next book to see what happens next.

Great read. Great characters and story.
Ashley and Adrian’s story is incredible. From the name of her show, to actual life experience, Tea With Monsters is a fun and suspenseful book. I’d love to read stories for the rest of Greenlawn’s residents.
New author for me, this book proved to be a great read… with its own take on the supernatural world and the twists and turns in the plot I can’t wait to see what’s in store for these characters going forward.
Tea with Monsters by Kimberly Forrest is an awesome story to read. This is book number one in this awesome series that I fell in love with. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about shifters.

Quite a fun story!
Definitely different outlook on paranormal life. Several strong female characters. Fully rounded out with steamy passion. Vampires, shifters, pyrotechnics & seers oh my!
this book did start out kinda slow . she is a reporter and does a tv show. she wants the scope on the mansion and what is behind those doors. only she gets more than she ever dreamed. there are vampires panther wolf and others. you have to read to find out what happens.
4 out of 5 stars
When journalist Ashley Ryan has a chance run in with a woman who looks like a dead movie star. Ashley has a hit tv show but wants a new challenge . So the day she follows the woman home sends her right into the panthers den literally . Greenlawn manor is a special place where supernatural beings can stay and not be found out. With A Lazer the guardian and panther in charge Ashley has met her match and her mate . Will she come to the realization before it is too late or will she accidently expose everyone to the world .
Ashley is one of those characters that one moment you are cheering her on and in the next moment you are wanting to slap her upside the head because she is about to do something stupid . She is feisty and sassy, but you know there seems to be something missing in her life, and you really want her to find that missing piece . She is also driven and will do anything to get a story . You see a change in her as the story goes on and she becomes a better person with Adrian by her side.. Adrian Lazer well he is a sexy, broody panther shifter who is also the guardian of Greenlawn . He takes his job seriously man does he take his job seriously. You meet a very gruff and overbearing man, he is always at odds with Vivian and some of those arguments are so fun to read. We see a change in him as he and Ashley become more and more entwined . He seems to come alive when he and Ashley are together . I loved them as a couple they are a fun read
I read this book in an evening and at first it took a little while to get into the book . Once I got into the book it went fast . The author takes us on a journey that is fun to read and you will like the characters they are well written there are vampires and shifters and witches all in one book . They are like a big family and really are a fun read . Over all I enjoyed reading and will definitely look for more books by this author . So check it out you will not be disappointed
Ashley is known for her show ‘Tea with Monsters’. One day she spots someone who should’ve been dead for years. Following her, Ashley ends up meeting Adrian Lazar, Guardian of Greenlawn Hall. Little does he know what she’ll mean to him in a short time.
Highly entertaining and so much fun! A feisty stubborn and determine journalist stumbles on the story of a lifetime but she gets more than she bargains for that not only changes her life but her heart as well. I really loved the characters they were unique and a joy to read. The story was exciting to read making you laugh and smile along the way. The characters were perfectly matched both stubborn and determined a feisty yet sexy combo!
This is a great book with an interesting plot, intriguing characters and a few surprises. I didn’t want to put the book down. The author quickly drew men and had me wanting to know what was going to happen next.
What a great book!
I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next with these characters!! I feel so invested after reading Tea with Monsters and full of questions that I can’t wait to have answered.
Will Jules be successful in his mission in finding Vivian?
Where and why is the “angel” that rescued Emma hiding?
Will Vivian drive Jules totally insane before his curse does it?
Is Thane really as bad as Adrian thinks he is or is he just misunderstood?
Going into this book I kinda expected to be enthralled with the typical shifter romance. But what I got was so much more and I’m glad I took the chance to read this one!
The first book in the Misfits & Rogues Series and I know I want to read the next book. These books will have to be read in the order they come out. Journalist Ashley Ryan is human and Adrian Lazar is a Lazar Panther shifter their story gets off to a rough start and misunderstandings happen. I enjoyed reading these two’s story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Ash was a reporter and Adrien was the “guardian” of Greenlawn Masion plus a few other things. I found this story to be refreshing as it wasn’t the usual storyline. Excellent story with bright and vivid characters portrayed well. Excellent read!

TEA WITH MONSTERS is the first book in the Misfits & Rogues series. These will need to be read in the order of release.
Ashley Ryan has a hit TV show called Tea with Monsters where she interviews the beasts of modern society. She visits the prison system and gets the story behind the headlines from those we would all consider to truly be the deplorables.
Then she meets the inhabitants of Greenlawn Hall. These people are truly monsters and they do not … cannot … have their story told, except that Vivian is a retired actress and misses her limelight. Adrian is sworn to safeguard the Hall but has just found his mate in the nosy journalist. Emma owns the house and insists that all will turn out as it should – does that mean yes or no? Jules is just plain crazy. Margo is a witch with a fiery temper. I love every single one of them in their uniqueness.
… and all of what I have said makes even more sense once you have joined me in reading this book. I do encourage you to read it. There is suspense, romance, and wonderful diverse characters.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Meet Ashley Ryan , she has a hit show “Tea With Monsters” interviewing killers behind bars. But boy , oh boy, has found something new and can’t seem to let go of it. What would you do if you find out that vampires, wer-wolves, wer-panthers, immortal’s , angels and witches are real? Would you run for the hills? I would but not Ashley-Fracking-Ryan, she fell into the story of a lifetime but something (or should I say someone) is making it hard for her to keep on track. Adrian is the Guardian watching out for those in his care when a nosy reporter just has to get a story. But the one she gets isn’t quite what she expects, plus she can’t seen to keep her hands off Adrian. (He has the same problem lol ) You never what is going to happen next , and that is wonderful. I was EXCITED about reading this book and actually had to read it again just to make sure I didn’t miss anything the first time. Congratulations Kimberly Forrest , this book is a keeper in my library because I’ll be reading it again and again

Adrian Lazar is the guardian of Greenlawn. Adrian keeps watch and protects all who reside in Greenlawn manor. Adrian has his hands full when Viv decides she needs a new friend.
Ash is a journalist who doesn’t give up when she’s curious. Ash is from a very small town in Rowe where they have on celebrity, Vivian, who died after one film debut. When Ash thinks she saw the dead Vivian in a restroom, she has to investigate. I thought this book started out well enough, but then it slowed down and become dull. I lost interest in the story around half through or slightly before. I think the characters are interesting enough, I just lost interest.
