Adrian Marlowe is a dolphin-shifter who can shift into a dragon, a new and dangerous development to his shifter abilities. Now he’s gone from wealthy CEO to man on a mission: Figure out how to tame the dragon before it destroys him. Landing the job as the new project manager in charge of the interior design of Waterscape’s new underwater hotel is Reese Briden’s dream job come true. Until she … true. Until she meets the sexy CEO and escaping the sexual tension that arises between them becomes impossible. Adrian could be the perfect lover. Except for one flaw. Well, maybe it’s not really a flaw, more of an inconvenience, because he is her boss.
Reese is feisty, beautiful and confident, and she might even be Adrian’s mate, except…she doesn’t know about the dragon. Now he has to decide whether to reveal himself or risk losing both her and his corporation. However, he just might lose himself if he lets the dragon consume him.

Audiobook Review: Wet Kisses: Pisces (The Sectorium #5; Zodiac Shifters #30) by Susan Griscom (Author), Julie Walters (Narrator), Gene Branson (Narrator)
PNR is not usually my genre of choice, but I decided to try something new. Griscom can be a bit overpowering at times, but she brings out the feels rather quickly. Her characters are a captivating mix of sensuality and vulnerability. Wet Kisses takes on complicated with a grace that will have your heart aching, your mind racing and your senses on full alert. Adrian and Reese are fighting a losing battle, but their emotions refuse to accept defeat. Walters and Branson take that inner turmoil and make it their mission to bring it to life. They succeed with an accuracy that brings chills up your spine and thrills to a heart.

Susan is the BEST at world-building in paranormal romance. This one takes the cake, though. I love her vamps, but this new play on sexy CEO had me hooked.
**This book can be read as a stand-alone**
This is book five in the series but I read it as a stand-alone. A very hot and steamy stand-alone with a setting in Hawaii…did I mention that there is a dolphin/dragon shifter? From myths, mates, bad guys, and prophecies, Adrian’s and Reese’s story have it all and in a more than perfect setting. Reese moves to Hawaii for work and ends up working for this amazingly hot surfer guy, Adrian. Reese is very adamant about not mixing business and pleasure and tries to keep boundaries. Adrian just needs to convince her that he truly likes her and not because she works for him. They are working on an incredible project when Victor (yup, the bad guy) comes popping his nose into business where it doesn’t belong. You know there is history between Victor and Adrian and the tension is thick when they interact. And our girl, Reese, gets stuck right in the middle. Adrian and Reese both have abilities and work hard at keeping them very secret but eventually walls are broken down and they slowly put the pieces together. There is some past that could keep them apart and along with Victor in the mix…well, lets just say the story didn’t end quite like I thought it was going to. Just sayin…big plot twist that is worth holding on to the end for. Love me some Wet Kisses!!
I really enjoyed this book. Adrian is a super casual dolphin shifter that has a secret. He can change into a dragon as well. Reese is his new project manager working on a new underwater hotel. She is his mate and he wants to be with her, but he is her boss. She doesn’t want to get involved with her boss.
There’s drama, intrigue, and betrayal. A wonderful story that I devoured. Can’t wait for more. I love the Zodiac Shifters series.
Wet Kisses is Book 5 of the Sectorium series. I have not read any of the other Sectorium stories so this book stands perfectly fine on its own.
I really had no clue going in what to expect other than it sounded intriguing. I am so glad I took a chance because this was a very enjoyable fast-paced read. Even though it was a bit on the shorter side, the author did a superb job of packing it tight with great character development, an interesting plot and a sizzling romance.
I look forward to reading more of what this author has to offer and continuing to learn about the Sectorium.
Adrian and Reese were both great characters and likeable. Adrian had two shapes he could change into and was hesitant on revealing both shapes to Reese. Reese had her own secrets. The two had great chemistry and lots of sexy time with a great storyline. Some action and lots of fun in this book. I loved it!
For Adrian, it was instant love. Reese isn’t so sure. One reason is that he is her boss. The other is that he is a shifter. If she can get past that part, they might have a chance. There are a few road blocks thrown in their way, but they are working toward a happy ever after.
I adore Susan Griscom’s vampire books. I devour them. But she totally blew this story out of the water. It is oceans above any shifter book that I have read recently. This book has everything: location, conflict, drama, romance, HEA.
First of all I had never read a dolphin shifter book before–Location. Location. Location. He has discovered he has second shifter ability. Like most shifters he needs a mate. Conflict. Conflict. Conflict.
Secondly, Adrian may be rich, but he is super casual. Does he even own a suit??? He is building Waterscapes, a beautiful in the ocean hotel. He has hired an interior designer to deal with decor. He has a thorn in his side that will constantly eat at him. Drama. Drama. Drama.
Thirdly, and best of all this is a epic love story. Boy meets girl. Girl meets her new boss–surprise. He has a secret, but so does she. There a many challenges. There are doubts. HEA. HEA. HEA.
I had to read this again when it hit my Kindle last night. Even more amazing.
New to me author.
I have read many of these Zodiac Shifter books and each one amazes me.
In this one we get a dual shifter Adrian who is one very rich CEO.
Only one issue he can’t control one of them.
Reese was hired as the new project manager at Waterscape’s. She was amazed because she hasn’t had a job before but is looking forward to it Until…. Her first day on the job she is being sent for coffee, ruins her new shoes when she is about knocked down by a bunch of teenagers then meets the most handsomest man she has ever seen. Oh and the good part? It’s her new boss …. didn’t see that one coming did ya.
This is a sexy story, we also get a bit of action from an old friend of Adrian’s. So grab your copy and read!
When I got to the end I had a goofy grin and just let out a deep sigh. Great read that Ms Griscom does so well. Her character development is always on par and even though her books are never long enough for me (smile) they truly don”t feel like insta love because there are always levels of intricacy, in disguise. Adrian just makes me melt. He is a complicated one, charming and unassuming totally unlike she thought he would be. The heat this author ignites between these too is fire and so is his dragon. The author holds our attention the way she does well with some action and suspense and getting your heart rate all out of sorts. It’s a great read.
This is Adrian and Reese’s story . As you start this book we will meet Adrian and his thoughts and feelings over life . He is a shapeshifter and is not one with his alter souls . While out in the ocean he causes a huge wave of water that causes a passenger of a ship to fall overboard . He does go back and help her to make sure she gets hauled back on board . Reese is starting her new job today while dealing with a shoulder injury caused by her falling asleep on the deck of a ship that a wave of water knocked her off of an into the ocean . Man her first day is wicked ! I want to keep this review short since I do not want to give away too much but I just have to say that Victor SHOCKED ME !!! I swear with him …..grrrrrrr !
I have read this author before and now she has gone and given us readers one that is different then most. It has gives you different levels in the paranormal which is good and refreshing. I like when a shifter is more than one so this author has given me a special treat even though Adrian considers it a torture he has to find a way to handle. You are taken into this one with characters Adrian and then Reese whom take you on their story. Adrain is a character that is one that I love to read because he has different sides that will also entrap you in his story. She also holds you with the drama and suspense that goes along with the romance in this one. I would of liked to have read the others before this one if this is a example of the fine take me away stories they could contain. This one has fire and will burn you with it along with the characters. Look forward to the next one from this author.
