Series Review: Rescue Me Series by Katana Collins

I was provided these novellas from the author in exchange for an honest review.  These came out in November 2020, but I just got around to reading the 3rd one.  Not sure what happened there, I read the first two right away.  Each of the stories is under 100 pages and they are all standalones.  They follow one of 4 brothers from the Murphy family and are set in the world of Silhouette Studios.  There is a 4th story that is part of 1001 Dark Nights Short Story Anthology 2020.  I have that anthology as well and plan to get to that later this year, it has some shorts by some of my favorite authors.

Each of these is pretty steamy and they are all really fun.  Each story takes on a different romance trope, so there is something for everyone.



Her Alpha Dog by Katana Collins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the first of 3 steamy novellas coming in November 2020. I believe they are all set in the world of the Silhouette Studios series, don't hold me to that as I am still slowly making my way through the author's backlist. This is roughly 70 pages and follows Josh Murphy, a well known actor and Chelsea Griffin, his new dog walker. Josh has a husky names Cola, and he works long hours on set. His trusted dog walker has left for grad school and recommended Chelsea for the job. Cola immediately takes to Chelsea, and Josh likes her too. As they get to know each other, they find it hard to deny that the attraction between them.

I was really impressed that we actually got alot of relationship development in such a short story. The author uses the timeline to her advantage to allow the characters to get to know each other off page, which gives the reader the satisfaction that there is substance to the relationship and it isn't all insta-love and lust driven. That is hard to is a novella, but I felt it was done really well here. Don't get me wrong the are plenty of lust filled moments in this short little story.

If you are looking for a light, fun read I highly recommend this. I really enjoyed it!

Her Top Dog by Katana Collins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a really a really cute, steamy novella.

Love at first...soup...I mean sight is the name of the game between funny man Sam "Smurf" Murphy and executive producer and lawyer Nina Miller. Nina was brought in to Silhouette Studios to help management stay out of lawsuits and cut shows that aren't doing well. The Murphy's prank show does well in ratings, but could be cause for a lawsuit if they don't clean up their jokes which Nina has experience with firsthand. When Sam comes to apologize for involving her in their show the tables are turned as neither of them can deny the attraction between them. Both of them fall hard and fast for each other and the rest is history.

If you like alpha dog romance stories, this is a fun one! I'm really enjoying these novellas and can't wait to see what is in store for the other brothers.

His Summer Kitten by Katana Collins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Really cute short story and pretty steamy too!  

This is the third of 3 novellas in the Rescue Me series, with a 4th story in the 1001 Dark Nights Short Story Anthology 2020.  The stories are all steamy standalone romances about one of the 4 Murphy brothers who are on a very popular comedy prank show.  This one follows Cal Murphy, as he runs into a beautiful woman at a bar once night as the crew from the show wraps up filming for the season.  They dance, they kiss, she walks away, and he finds out she is his twin brother's little sister who is now all grown up.  Laurel. used to be the annoying little sister who has been hopelessly in love with Cal for as long as she can remember.  She is 9 years younger than Cal so he never gave her a romantic thought growing up, but now that they are adults all bets are off and she can finally tell Cal how she really feels and he can see her as a woman not a little girl.

This a little insta-lovey for my tastes, even if the couple already kind of knows each other.   It is still fun and steamy in the 50 or so pages.  If you are looking for something light and quick this is a good option!
