My Body Swap With Candi by Jane Doe is a part of the Forced Feminization series. It is only 49 pages long but is it worth $9.99 to buy? That is too steep (thank goodness for Kindle Unlimited) … especially considering that the story feels unfinished and rushed. Pixi gave Chris the same conditions but he somehow didn’t end up getting stuck in Candi’s body. Instead, our main character, whose name I don’t recall being mentioned, ends up swapping bodies with “Candi” and the former host, Chris, ends up in his.
So … what did Chris do differently that allowed him the opportunity to transfer to a new male body? I don’t think it is consistent with the rules and is unfair to the main character.
So after what Chris does intentionally after, our main character is now stuck in Candi’s body and that is it? She has no choice but to service men every 30 minutes for the rest of her life and just live with it. That’s it? End of story?
I don’t need a happy ever after. That isn’t necessary for every story. But it is necessary to go through all the steps of Freytag’s pyramid for it to be a GOOD story: exposition, initial incident, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution, and denouement.
This story missed the last two. It just isn’t right. I feel cheated. This could have been more meaningful than just a parade of blowjobs and fucks.
Jane Doe has written so many better stories than this so while I did not enjoy this, I am not giving up on her yet. Read this if you have a KU subscription, otherwise, don’t bother getting it as you won’t get value for money. 🙁 ⭐⭐

Alpha Logan by Bryant is the first book of the Bloodmoon Pack series. Logan Kinsley is not the firstborn. In any other pack but Bloodmoon, he would not be the Alpha. At the Bloodmoon Pack, the Alpha is selected by whichever of the Alpha heirs manifests the Bloodmoon wolf. This means that despite his elder brother, John, receiving all the training, Logan ended up the Alpha.
For many years he searched far and wide for his mate, traveling to gatherings all over the country and overseas. Little did he know that he didn’t need to travel far for his mate, he just needed patience as she just wasn’t old enough yet.
I could understand Logan’s frustration and longing, especially since wolves believe in “forever” … Bloodmoon, specifically, revere the mate bond so much that they have a law against rejection unless the mate is abusive.
Logan and Aurelia’s first encounter was magical. When Jericho, Logan’s wolf, noticed Aurelia as she got off the bus I got the shivers and I eagerly turned the pages to see how quickly they will meet and how soon they will both acknowledge the mate bond. Every touch spark the bond and their first “sexual” encounter was so hot, I thought my iPad would burst into flames, lol! I put quotes because I’ve seen that many authors only count penetration as sex, so if it is cunnilingus or fellatio it’s … foreplay?
In any case, the main reason I love this story is that Aurelia is such a strong character. Despite only being 17 at the beginning of the story, I could already see what a badass Luna she was going to be and a perfect foil for Logan.
Alpha Logan by Bryant is definitely on my top shelf of book recommendations! You can read this at Goodnovel or grab your copy on Amazon available in Kindle format and paperback.

When I read the first chapter of The Alpha’s Girl by Ashley Breanne I was instantly enamored and felt compelled to read the whole story. I just thought that Olivia and Gabriel’s first meeting was the cutest thing! How was it possible that a young girl and a wolf cub were able to hear each other’s thoughts? Was it the mate bond manifesting very early? It surely was!
But this leads to people thinking she is crazy. A few years later she and her sister go and try to find proof that it wasn’t a delusion and she “stumbles” into a pack and discovers that her little wolf is now the Alpha of the pack.
Alpha Gabriel and his pack have been watching over Olivia from afar for years so they knew who she was when she showed up. Everyone knew she was his mate and, therefore, their Luna. They also knew that she is human.
Can a werewolf-human relationship work? Will Olivia survive being marked by Gabriel? Will she turn into a werewolf? Can she become Luna if she remains human?
I enjoyed every moment of reading this book. It isn’t all lollipops and roses and that is what makes this story great! Between Olivia and Gabriel, barely any drama … from outside forces, though … lots!
Try out The Alpha’s Girl by Ashley Breanne. It is available on Goodnovel and currently contains 2 books … The Alpha Girl, and its sequel, Warrior’s Woman.

Sarwah Creed, you have redeemed yourself in my eyes with A Boss With Benefits. Unlike Naughty #TeXXXt, this story is more story than sex, but what there is, is hot, hot, hot! This is a story I can truly get behind.
To Ross Hamilton, young secretaries are little more than sexual harassment cases waiting to get filed. While he is never mean to women, he also makes it known that all he is after is sex, and only sex. With his parade of secretaries, they would have the added bonus of actually knowing how to do secretarial tasks.
Olivia is his virtual assistant and he asks her to come and work at the office for the next 6 weeks as he closes an important deal. He thinks she’s a spinster with cats and discovers on her first day that she is sex on legs.
But his reaction to her is different. Yes, he wants her, but he also appreciates her mind and wants to get to know her better. Gasp! Has Ross fallen in love?
In 18 chapters we are witness to their romance and passion as it blossoms as they both don’t fight too hard to resist the attraction. My one regret is that 2 Macs had to sacrifice their lives as they expressed their lust for each other at work. I would categorize this as light reading with a helping or 3 of raw sex and a happy ending.
You can find A Boss With Benefits by Sarwah Creed on Goodnovel.
