Sure to make your heart thump
This is the perfect collection of books to celebrate the holiday of love. Your heart is going to race throughout the course of this anthology and the stories within. I can’t wait to read more books by these authors.
Jax: A Not Quite Puma Love Story
Bowled over by love
Such a fantastic little story. I enjoyed the way the author had our leading lady take the enforcers on a wild chase on the way to her HEA. This book is written like so many of her others with Jax seeming to speak directly to the reader during some of his retelling, and it just works. His little side jokes and comments make the reader feel like they are involved with the story. I loved how these two characters came together and I can’t wait to read the next book by the author.
4 stars
Mine Furever
Furry love potion
This book is a perfect fit with the others in the series. I love how Jordan found his mate on Valentine’s Day. It’s actually perfect since the first time I remember reading about him was on another Valentine’s with a dragon and a waitress. I love how the pack stood behind him when his mate had doubts. It seemed as though Sherry knew and led them there. I really enjoy this author and this series. I look forward to many more books.
5 stars
Bella’s Valentine Surprise
I’m going to Disney
This is a cute little story with a glimpse into the future of these two characters. I love that he goes to so much trouble to make his mate happy, although typical man waits until the last minute. I find it a little hard to get into, but only because it is in first person and not what I usually read. I look forward to reading more from this author.
4 stars
Once Bitten
Watch your mouth
This guy, er vampire, goes from potty mouth to perfect gentleman once he meets the woman who stands up to him. They both may have horrible experiences in the past, but the author made sure to bring them to their perfect HEA just in time for Valentine’s Day. I think you will enjoy this sweet little story.
4 stars
Fang Me Twice
One to light and one to dark
This book really has the perfect beginning. Harlow was a little bit judgey, but after learning about her past I guess she would be. I enjoyed that the author made Dade more than he first seemed, it made for a more enjoyable experience. I look forward to reading more by this author.
4 stars
This is a great collection of short reads. These authors are fabulous. They each have their own style, and together it is great!
Julia Mills’ Jax was so intriguing and fun to read.
C. D. Gorri’s Mine Furever was heartwarming and destined.
T. M. Payne’s Bella’s Valentine’s Surprise was very sweet and adorable.
Amanda Kimberley’s Once Bitten was eye -opening and fulfilling.
P. Mattern/L. Gauthier’s Fang Me Twice was honorable and dedicated.
Reading Progres

Weird things start to happen soon after. He senses the puma when she is near and he’s healing faster than normal. Thank you Julia for the free book you are giving at the end of this story you are amazing.
Mine Furever:A Maconwood Pack Tale #8 by CD Gorri. Jordan’s wolf knows Isadora is his as soon as she comes into his bar. She’s a witch on the hunt for a love spell that got away and thinks that it is influencing him. Who will win this battle of wills? I loved this story.

This Book set includes books by the following Authors: This is a nice set of books that have strong paranormal short stories that are a great representation of these wonderful Author’s works. One of my favorites is C.D Gorri and I own all of her books that are out so far. I am just discovering the others and have read a few by Payne & Mattern. I will be reading quite a few others from each now and have in fact bought more from each.
Julia Mills: Jax: A ‘Not-Quite’ Puma Love Story
This is an entertaining and humorous at time story of an accidental meeting of a puma shifter and a soldier. Their encounters are unfortunate for him as he gets injured at the first one. She is a very cunning and strong shifter that has her coming back to check on him and always getting away before the guards can capture her. This has some humorous parts that will make you laugh. I bought his sister’s story to read and will buy the others in this series. A must read series and Author
C.D. Gorri: Mine Forever
What to say, this is written in town/community that a lot of her books are set in. When you read it you feel as if you are back for a visit in a place you would like to be and get to catch up on a few friends. This is a story of mistaken spells and fated mates. It has also has some humorous and strong chemicals scenes where you feel their frustrations and their happiness. I am waiting for her next book to come out and cannot wait.
T.M. Payne: Bella’s Valentine
Bella and her mate(Salem) have twin boys and he wants to do something wonderful for her and surprise her for Valentine’s. This is continuation of a series of a family that have siblings mated to set of twins (which I have read and enjoyed) which have had to overcome a lot and they promised to never keep secrets ever again. This is not a bad secret right, hopefully she will not be mad but happy about this secret. It shows how he cares for her and how much work he has to go through to set it up.
Amanda Kimberley: Once Bitten
She is new employee at his restaurant and he is the new boss and a Vampire. They get off on the wrong foot due to his lack of focus, due to boredom after centuries of life and he messed up how be treats her and people around him. She is trying to live down her horrid past love life that made her change her whole life and start afresh. She wants nothing to do with him, except he is changing for the better. They are being pulled together, but can they work as a couple and work together at the restaurant. It is a wonderful story of how we want to be the best for the people we love and want to be with. They are both written well and they both grow through out this story.
P. Mattern & L. Gauthier: Fang Me Twice
This a story in which a flight attendant finds herself drawn to one of her passengers and then discovers he is a Vampire. She also has a twin that has been missi since they were six. The couple have a misunderstanding that he needs to fix because now she is in danger. This story has action, twists/turns, chemistry and tragedy. I cannot wait to read more from this Author. The ending was unexpected. Absolutely loved it and it’s a great must read.
This was a voluntarily written review from an ARC copy. I will be buying
This is a wonderful paranormal romantic anthology from various authors.
Jax, not quite a puma by Julia Mills: Pearl recognizes Jax as her mate, & makes sure they are together.
Mine Furever by C.D. Gorri: Isadora has a Valentine’s day spell backfire. She meets Jordan at a bar he manages. Sparks fly, but is it real, or the spell. So good!
Bella’s Valentine’s surprise by T.M. Payne: Salem plans a romantic Valentine’s day for Bella.
Once Bitten by Amanda Kimberley: Priya works for Braeden. They have been hurt in the past, and decide to take a chance on love with one another.
F*ng me twice by P. Mattern and L. Gauthier: Harlow meets Dade on a flight and recognizes him as a frequent flyer on the airline. They have dinner, and begin a relationship. The past threatens their happiness. Good book, well written!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I often wonder what authors are told when they join an anthology. I’m sure some structures are more rigid than others but even in those it seems they all can come up with vastly different stories. Because of those differences you are almost guaranteed to find some of the stories will appeal to you more than others. I enjoyed most of them in this book.
Jax: A Not Quite Puma love story
This was a true anticipation builder. Jax spends most of the story being “stalked” by a puma hardly even seeing her just knowing she’s there. The reader knows that climax, and yes I use that word deliberately, is coming. When it does… Pow!
Mine Furever
This was my favorite. I love Gorri’s world. A witch, a wolf and a runaway love potion. Sexiness ensues!
Bella’s Valentine Surprise
This was more of a slice of life after the HEA but a cute story. I’ll be looking for the original.
Once Bitten
Two VERY opposites falling for each other. It was a little light on the paranormal aspect, he is a vampire but it didn’t impact much of the story. Still, it was fun.
Fang me Twice
This was my least favorite. The heroine finds the hero off putting at first then very quickly wants him. I had a hard time making the jump with her. Then there are some family issues that was a lot to unpack in this short of a story.
Awesome collection from several authors. Hearts and Bites Anthology got me hooked from the first page. Great way to get introduced to new authors and series. Loved the whole collection. I received an ARC from CD Gorri and voluntarily reviewed it.
All the short stories in this anthology are amazing. I love the humor and what I call “talking to the reader” that Julia Mills brings to Jax. CD Gorri’s addition to her Macconwood series is as hot as ever with Mine Furever! TM Payne’s Bella’s Valentine’s Surprise is just a sweet story that is every woman’s secret wish. I love Priya’s lay down the law attitude and ready acceptance in Once Bitten by Amanda Kimberley. P Mattern’s Fang Me Twice had Harlow going through some pretty tough situations. I recommend this anthology for it’s quick, attention grabbing reads.
Hearts & Bite Marks: A Valentine’s Anthology by C.D. Gorri is a very awesome box set that I hve loved reading very much. I loved reading this story cause I fll in love with the characters and the story plot. I highly recommend this awesome box set to everyone who loves reading about contemporary, holiday and paranormal romances.

Loved this book a must have for everyone who loves a happily ever after,
WARNING: Do not start thes book if you have to do something tomorrow. You won’t be able to stop until you are finished! This book have action, steam. I like that they caught my attention from the beginning. I am one of those readers that if you don’t I end up putting the book down and not finishing it. I am more into shifters than vampires, but the stories were good. The last book a bit sad for the heroine. Great job.
I voluntarily agreed to review this product. My review is entirely my own opinion.
Well worth reading!
What an amazing read and by so many different authors. So many more books to read and authors to follow now!
Love is definitely in the air with these steamy reads. An amazing team of authors have put together a set of romances you will not want to miss. Two of my favorites (Mills and Gorri), are reason enough for me to recommend this. But the other books were also enjoyable. A collection paranormal lovers can not pass up. I thank the creative minds that made this possible.

Julia Mills Not Quite Puma
This is one laugh out loud funny story. It is extremely well written and has beautifully developed characters. Jax is sweet and charming but yet all protective.
