At the Forbidden B&B, you’re just as likely to find fresh-baked cookies as straight jackets. Like any self-sufficient woman, Daphne knows you can’t trust a selfie on Tinder. Turns out that goes for real estate, too. From the moment she reaches the driveway of the “beautiful mansion” she just purchased, she knows she’s been duped.It’s going to take more than scrapbooks and self-affirmations to … take more than scrapbooks and self-affirmations to change this creepy AF insane asylum into the B&B she’s always dreamed about.
For alpha wolf shifter Declan, this is the construction job from hell. He isn’t interested in dating anyone–especially not a human. And especially not one who wants to strong-arm him into staring at paint swatches all day. But as he’s forced to work closely beside Daphne, Declan finds himself less resistant to checking out paint swatches and more interested in checking out her plumbing.
Is this the construction job from hell? Or is it destiny?

If you like the hunky Alpha males protecting and claiming their human mates, then you will love this series!
Daphne has had a dream of her own bed and breakfast. She has all the details down! She has the scrapbook with every room planned out from the color of the walls to the knick-knacks on the shelves. She found the perfect place in Forbidden, Kentucky and bought it sight unseen and had enough money left over for the renovations she planned. She has to be successful with this venture so she can get out of under her parent’s thumb. What she didn’t plan on is the place she bought is a former insane asylum and in much worse shape than she thought. She was able to get one contractor out that was a bunch of brothers and they are getting things done.
Declan O’Malley is the local Alpha and eldest in the family contractor company. Years ago he tried having a relationship with a human and it didn’t end well. Now he stays away from human women until he meets the person who bought the old insane asylum. His family needs the money and she needs their help. When something comes after her, he is there to protect her.

I have read both Liza Street’s Fierce Mates and one of Keira’s Alphas & Alchemy. I loved both series and this one is starting out great! Declan O’Malley is the Alpha of his family pack. He and his brothers and sister own a contracting business in Forbidden, Kentucky. Daphne, tired of her parents running her life, buys a Bed & Breakfast sight unseen and packs her car and moves to Kentucky. What she gets when she gets there is not even close to livable. The O’Malleys meet Daphne and work out a deal for them to do the work. Chemistry is strong between Daphne and Declan, but she fits right in with the rest of the family too. Good thing because they will face all kinds of nasty monsters (slugs, need I say more) and dark magic. Luckily they know the witch in town to help. This is a hair raising, funny, steamy, entertaining book. I can’t wait to see who’s next in line. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Though I’ve read a lot from both these authors this mash-up of worlds didn’t grab me right away. Yes, the story was well plotted and engaging, definitely a good read. And I enjoyed the characters and their journey, but in reading the meeting of the two worlds felt a little forced to me. It won’t stop me from reading the next in the series or anything but it had moments that didn’t ring very true to me. Still a great book and totally worth a read. I was given a copy by the authors so I could post my honest review.
Daphne tries to get away from her parents, who mean well, but never allow her to live the life she wants. To do so she buys a mansion somewhere online to turn it into a B&B. Arriving she finds she bought a dilapidated former asylum for mental diseases. Still – she does not want to give up hon her dreams. Hiring a crew of brothers (and one sister) to reform the building into a B& B she meets Declan. They clash from the beginning, but Declan knows he found his mate in Daphne.
Declan is a wonderful alpha figure, accepting his phobia for insects and especially slugs. Of course there is a slug infestation at the asylum and something attacking both Daphne and Declan. Figuring out how to protect his woman despite his fears makes him a grand character.
Both characters are wonderfully described, lovable despite their faults. This book is really good entertainment.

An independent woman determined to make it on her own. She buys what she thought was an old mansion. Turns out to be much more than that. Much more. His family owns a construction business and he is alpha in that town. He is just as stubborn and independent. A very exciting, dangerous, intriguing, emotional and so much more. Some new things for me to read about. I really enjoyed it and couldn’t put it down. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
Highly entertaining, sexy, fun, action packed adventure filled with magical and exciting charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and undeniable passion…. was a great read. Really enjoyed this journey.
What a refreshing take on the paranormal. I loved the characters, especially Daphne and her “I can do hard things” attitude. With Declan’s initial reaction to Daphne, it was sure to be interesting and eventful. A well paced tale, full of intrigue, a bit of laughter and lots of love, you’ll be sure to enjoy this endearing read. I’m looking forward to reading about the rest of the O’Malley pack.

Fun, quick, easy, entertaining read. The old plot. A naive girl buying a building unseen, she plans to turn into a B&B and a sexy contractor. They can’t stand each other at first but eventually can’t resist the sexual tension and fall in love. Is the building haunted, or perhaps infested? Add into the mix, that the contractor is a hot shape shifting wolf, advice from a spunky witch, and an original monster and you have a whole new story. I felt the story wrapped up a bit too easily, and there could have been more detail to the story. Overall it was fun and original though and I would recommend it to any fantasy romance reading enthusiast.

“She rolls in like a bulldozer, smashing all my rules to bits. She’s human, and she’s my mate. She’s got scrapbooks. She’s got dreams. She’s got an obnoxious tendency to micromanage everything I do. It’s her bed and breakfast and her renovation project, but I don’t take orders.” This was okay. Liked the characters.
