Awesome PNR Fiction Must Read!
What an awesome first PNR read & the first book I’ve ever read by this talented author, but it definitely won’t be the last! Great storyline and new take on wolf shifters with animated characters, that kept me glued to the book & pages turning 🙂 I never write spoilers or recap blurbs, but I do know when a book is a great must read! … Originally I was given an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review but loved it so much, I just one-clicked my own copy to keep 😀 So yes I highly recommend this must read to all fiction lovers, especially in paranormal, shifters and fantasy! Can’t wait for upcoming works from Ms. Scott

Her dreams shattered, Connie Meyer just wants to be left alone to live her life in peace. She finds that difficult to do when her estranged husband’s mother insists she returns to her son and a marriage she no longer wants—a marriage that does more harm than good.
Desperate to escape, Connie returns to Vail Mountain, the one place she had truly felt alive. However, her troubles soon follow her, and she gets more than she bargained for as she fights not only her past but the intense feelings that one newly elected sheriff arouses in her.
Jacob Tanner is wary of the city life and the never-ending stream of criminals that plague New York City. He resigns from the police force after a drug bust goes wrong, landing himself in the hospital to face his mortality alone. Uncertain about the direction of his life, he learns of the new sheriff position on Vail Mountain and takes a gigantic leap of faith—faith that he isn’t making a big mistake. Armed with nothing but a few possessions, Jacob relocates, only to find himself falling hard for a woman whose blue eyes speak of pain and loneliness.
As he battles his worst nightmare, can Jacob show her there is more to life than what they have been dealt and convince her that with him, nothing is impossible?

Nina Williams’ world shattered in an instant when she and her daughter witnessed her father’s brutal murder. Everything in her life became trivial save one: protecting her only child.
With the help of a friend, Nina leaves the city in a cloud of terror and heads for Vail Mountain and the safety she prays she will find.
Rob Garland has seen his share of the treacherous conditions on the mountains. But even spring floods, summer fires, and hikers lost in winter storms have not prepared him to face the fear in Nina’s eyes.
There is no beating the odds on this one. The men who are after them won’t give up. It’s only a matter of time before the truth is revealed and the stakes turn deadly.
Can Nina and Rob hold it together when nature and man turn against them?

It was supposed to be a vacation, a time to save her marriage, but what Joan Clayton hadn’t counted on was Murphy’s Law of Vail Mountain and the secrets that had damaged her marriage beyond repair. It was over. Depressed and angry, she decided to venture directly into an oncoming snowstorm, one that would be known as the blizzard of the century.
Stephen Brockheart received the call concerning a missing tourist after working 26 hours straight. A park ranger for the mountain resort, he set out on the routine mission, knowing he was running out of time as the blizzard hit with visibility zero. What he hadn’t counted on was saving a beautiful woman and falling for her, a city girl who knew nothing about the dangers of the mountain. He had been there before and vowed never to return.
As Mother Nature raged, Joan was soon overcome by the feelings a complete stranger evoked in her, causing her to reevaluate her own life. Through the blizzard and stranded at the resort, death was imminent for any who would try to leave. Despite loss and secrets, can two people find love and happiness again?
Can they be given a second chance to make it real and lasting, or will that chance die with them?

Wow! What A Great Entertaining Read That’s Perfect To Curl Up With

What a great short read in contemporary romantic suspense! The storyline was different, the characters believable and plots that will tug at various emotions. This was a quick, easy read that had something for almost every reader that will keep them engaged & the pages turning! Once I started, I did not want to put it down! This sophomoric author has a bright future & I look forward to more of her work in the future. I highly recommend this to any fan of fiction.

I LOVED Bear’s Shadow! So SOOOO GOOD!

What a fantastic, emotional, thrilling paranormal romantic suspense that was as exciting as it was sexy! Desiree L. Scott is new to me author but WOW..she has me so HOOKED on her stories! Bear’s Shadow is intense and sexy, sweet, and action packed with outstanding characters and an incredible storyline. I am so in love and wildly impressed with this series and can’t freaking wait to see what will be next!

Bear’s Shadow starts out with some heart-racing scenes. OMG I was drawn to the story from the very first sentence and the more I read the more I found myself entranced. This is such a different breed of paranormal romance. Its full of cliff-hanging suspense and danger and some of the most incredibly sexy and ultra protective shifters that had me swooning. This Vendetta Series is to die for and I LOVE it!

Bear’s Shadow gets an EXHILARATING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! If you like your stories full of passion and action and irresistible heroes, you will love Bear’s Shadow!

Fast-paced, creative and complex…
By Tom Deady
Crescent Vendetta is a complex blend of genres: part supernatural, part romance, and packed with suspense. The characters are well-developed and believable, each with a depth that adds to the credibility of the story. Full disclosure: this is not my normal genre to read. I went in a bit skeptical but Scott’s attention to detail and ability to explain the inexplicable, made Crescent Vendetta a wonderful read. The plot is well thought out and the story is filled with tension. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Light the fire, grab the cocoa, and get ready for a great read!

Stranded on Vail Mountain is a well-written, gripping, fast-paced novella. I love short reads, especially those which grab the reader by the seat of the pants from the first line to the last – this one delivers! I’ve read this story twice and will read it again. This was my first read of this author’s works. I look forward to reading much more from her. I don’t write reviews often, but some stories are too good not to share.

Trouble ahead

A Must Read! Desiree, you are a very talented writer in the shifter aspect and you bring the heat of passion as well. I enjoyed Bret and Nikki and the trials they go through to be together when only just meeting.
Nikki has suffered enough and has decided to run from her abusive husband but she doesn’t get far. Bret the owner of the bar Nikki runs into and uses the phone saves her and now she is his to protect no matter what. Nikki didn’t know that calling her friend Sam would bring her to Bret for his help. Nikki is no stranger to the shifter community as her friend Sam is one and she grew up around them. So Bret being a bear isn’t gonna shock her but putting them in danger has her frightened that her husband may kill the ones she loves because he already killed her brother for trying to help her.
Nikki is attracted to Bret but scared that she still may get hurt but deep down knows he will protect. Bret will protect Nikki and will make her his. Will these two find a happy ending?
Desiree, these series is great thus far. Shifters are my top read whenever possible. Your writing flows and keeps the reader interested and you write in my favorite style both P.O.V of the main characters. You give us every feeling that the characters go through and the passion behind it, thank you. Until book 3.
