**Each book of the Bewitched and Bewildered series features a different couple finding love along with their very own happy ending and can technically be read as a standalone. However, there are recurring characters and an underlying interconnected conflict that play a major part in all the books, therefore to avoid spoilers, I highly recommend reading the books sequentially.

OMG! I loved, loved, loved My Champion. Alder's books are like crack for us paranormal romance junkies! I can see it now: Room in a church basement, a circle of chairs, surrounded by a group of grim faces, and I stand and say, "Hello, my name is Judy and I'm an Alanea Alder paranormal romance addict!" lol... All joking aside, Alder's books really are addictive. They're like potato chips; you can't stop with just one! This is the seventh book of the series and each story gets better and better! I can hardly wait to dive into the eighth! lol... I love unique paranormal romance, addicted to danger, action, adventure & suspense, completely smitten with sexy, alpha heroes, adore sassy, courageous heroines, and there's nothing I enjoy more than a few mind-bending plot twists along with a generous infusion of laugh-out-loud humor, but when I can get it all in one exceptionally well-crafted and beautifully written book, I'm in absolute heaven! And that's exactly what Alanea Alder delivered - AGAIN - in My Champion, the seventh full-length paranormal romance in her riveting and highly imaginative Bewitched & Bewildered Series. Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Was it perfect? No, but it was perfect for me. There were a few little boo-boos missed in the editing process, but nothing that distracted me from the story. Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain explicit language, some violence, and steamy, dreamy sex. Will I read this author again? Absolutely which is probably the best recommendation I can give! As a matter of fact, after completing the first book of this series, I raced back to Amazon and purchased the remaining nine books and signed up for her newsletter, which speaks volumes as to how much I enjoyed this author's work! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I was glued to my chair, white-knuckling my ereader, my heart fluttering wildly in my chest as the pages flew as quickly as the pages!

The series takes a bit of a turn in Book 6 when Unit Commander Aiden McKenzie and his firecracker mate Meryn leave Lycaonia to visit vampire pillar city Noctem Falls, Naturally, they are accompanied by Meryn's squire Sei Ryuu and, of course, Felix the sprite along with former Noctem Falls resident Elizabeth Monroe and her mate Gavriel Ambrosios. Aiden, Meryn, Ryuu, Felix, Beth and Gavriel are all recurring characters readers have gotten to know in the previous books of the series and always add so much to each story. We're introduced to an entire new cast of intriguing characters but the primary couple in this story is unit warrior lion-shifter Declan Lionhart, aka call sign Simba (yes, that's a nod to one of Meryn's and my favorite movies, The Lion King), and vampire Kari Delaney, personal assistant trainer, corporate organizer extraordinaire, and very successful business owner. I fell in love with the handsome, happy-go-lucky Declan, though he's also a bit of a mystery. But once again, wait until you find out his family connections! Shhh... No spoilers from me. And the lovely Kari is the epitome of grace, efficiency, keen intelligence, and heartwarming devotion to those she loves, like her adopted brother, sweet fox shifter Avery Therian. Kari and Declan were perfect for each other! Kari was just the woman to tame Noctem Falls' very own Don Juan and she didn't even have to use a whip! Sigh... So dreamy! And naturally, Meryn, her minions Jaxson and Noah, along with her two newly adopted twin 'baby Keelans' provide loads of laughter and shenanigans galore! And once again, this story ripped my heart out of my chest! I snickered, snorted, sniffled, snuffled, chuckled, and outright ugly cried through the entire story! But just a little warning, folks, don't start this book unless you have plenty of time; you will not want to stop until you reach the last page. I should know; I've spent the last week binge-reading the entire series! lol... Alanea Alder, you're killing me! If you enjoy perilous danger, intense drama, agonizing angst, pulse-pounding action, nail-biting suspense, side-splitting humor, heartwarming romance, and a few mind-blowing plot twists that you'll never see coming, then this book is screaming your name. Extraordinary world building, exceptional character introduction/development, along with highly intelligent, skilled plot progression make this series a fabulous, can't-put-down read! Thanks for the recommendation Fran Zoch!

Oh my hat. Alanea Alder strikes again! Wow this adventure just blew my mind. I loved it.
Declan is the second in command to Adriel at the Noctem Falls Pillar city. This lion has a heart of gold and is a natural mediator. He has a charm that puts everyone at ease... as he grew up in a very political family it's not hard to believe.
Kari is use to organizing the lives of top business people. She was told that it was safer for her and her Avery to move to Noctem Falls. As soon as she gets ther...

Kari is use to organizing the lives of top business people. She was told that it was safer for her and her Avery to move to Noctem Falls. As soon as she gets there, she meets her mate Declan.
From chapter one I was laughing, not at the situation Declan found himself but despite his situation when he met his mate, Kari.
All I want to quote at this time is: "Get your hand off my mate! I licked her. She's mine!" I was rolling when I laughed.
Danger surrounds Kari, even though she just about started rearranging Prince Magnus' office life.
We get to meet a host of yummy new alpha males. There is also a lot of happy news going on at Noctem Falls. Our Meryn, Bethy and their mates are still present and doing what they do best... taking names and kicking butt. We still hear news from our Alpha unit and that will have you cracking up too.
We meet Law and his security crew as well... love them. Once again Meryn shows us how her minds keep evaluating situations and providing solutions.
This adventure was just one great ride, with danger yes. But also with love, family and brotherhood all thrown together. All this proves that good can overpower evil and prejudice. There is so much I want to share... but you need to read this book.

I always love anything Alanea Alder’s writes! This was another great read. Characters are great and very lovable. This one is part of my MUST READ collection. This series makes you laugh, cry, wanna fall in love again for the first time, get so angry you could spit and then leave you heartbroken. I would recommend any of Alanea’s books but especially this series to anyone who loves books that grab you from paragraph 1 and are up all night because you can’t put it down.

I would recommend any of Alanea’s books but especially this series to anyone who loves books that grab you from paragraph 1 and are up all night because you can’t put it down. I read this series at least once a year from book one to recent and love them every time. But I have to say that the books are getting more and more editing problems in them. Note to Alanea: I would gladly proofread your books before publishing for free since your editors are slacking. LOL

What I love most about this book is the development of Averys relationship. Of course it also introduces us to the Lionharts and their pride, which is awesome... love Rex and how Law sets up Declan....lol. Menace really had me laughing so hard in this book!!!!

I love Meryn as she (or Alanea Alder) makes me laugh.

Declan & Kari's story is a fun filled book with all kinds of drama, mate finding, pregnancies & of course the good vs bad element. Declan is a lion shifter who works as a warrior in the vampire capital, Noctuem Falls & Kari is a vampire is a vampire in a city that was sent to the Falls for her & her adopted brother's protection.

Kari meets Declan the 1st day after he's injured while protecting someone else; as she smells his blood she knows right away that he's her mate. Declan scents her when she comes into the infirmary & knows that she's his mate but is too drugged up to do anything about it.

That's all that I'm saying about this book other than if you have a dry sense of humor then this story will make your day as it sure did make mine.
