ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 2, 2023

Love…against all odds.

Banished by his father and laird, Rory Sutherland does what he swore he’d never do—return to Scotland. But a dangerous threat has risen, and it’s turned its gaze to his beloved home. He risks everything to find the witch who can stop the growing menace. Asa’s power and beauty excites him. Her allure seduces him. She’s his match in every way. And nothing will ever be the same after being touched by her magic.

For Asa, being a witch has been a blessing and a curse. For every good thing in her life, the tragedy that follows has been crushing. She’s rudderless, adrift without a plan. Until a dark, sexy Highlander crosses her path with a dire warning. She’s being hunted by a dark force that intends to use her powerful bloodline. Bound to Rory by their quest and Fate, a passion ignites that consumes them. Against all odds they found each other, but they need to survive the coming war…or be ruined.

••••••••

REVIEW: RUIN is the second instalment in Donna Grant’s adult KINDRED: THE FATED erotic, historical, paranormal / fantasy romance series set in the author’s World of the Kindred. This is Norse witch Asa, and Highlander Rory Sutherland. RUIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storyline is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Rory and Asa) RUIN follows the building romance and relationship between Norse witch Asa, and Highlander Rory Sutherland. Norse witch Asa left her homeland of Norway seven years earlier in the search for something more, a search that took her to Scotland where she would find a family, a family that The Coven would destroy. Hoping someday to return to Norway to find her younger sister Lissa, Asa would come upon an injured Highlander, sent to warn Asa about an impending war. Viking Hosvir Ivarsson, and a powerful witch hunt for the bones of the first witch, and Asa is a direct descendant of the witch in question. With Rory by her side, and the help of another powerful witch and warlock, Asa would face down the danger, a danger too familiar to our story line heroine. What ensues is the building relationship and quick proclamation of love between Asa and Rory, and the potential fall-out as Rory is severely injured trying to protect the woman he loves.

The relationship between Rory and Asa is predicated on a warning. Asa’s sister Lissa has sent Rory to warn our heroine about the witch and men coming to claim our story line heroine. Rory is determined to protect Asa with his life, a life he is willing to sacrifice for the woman he loves. Asa is a powerful healer, and is gifted with the ability to speak to animals but never expected to fall for the injured Highlander.Something about Rory drew Asa like a moth to a flame, a flame that could easily be doused with the swing of a sword. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited. We are introduced to Armir, Jarin and Helena, Elin (Rage 1), as well as Hosvir Ivarsson, and his witch Dagny. The requisite evil has many faces.

RUIN is a quick read; a fast paced story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and greed, acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing and entertaining; the romance is swift and seductive; the characters are powerful and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 9, 2023

Not even Death can take her from him.

Clara Savoie is so confused. She is absolutely positive that Henry Blackwater is practically in love with her. But for some strange reason, he won’t even ask her on a single date. Time to take matters into her own hands.

When Clara shows up on his doorstep with an unusual invitation, tempting cupcakes, and naughty innuendo, Henry has no choice but to say yes. Now he’s the newest member of the High Tea Romance Book Club. While Clara learns the haunting secrets of her broody grim, Henry shows her what commitment from a necromancer truly means.

But when his father is arrested for murder, Henry is dragged back into the nightmare he’s been avoiding all his life. When he steps back into his father’s world, he isn’t just endangering himself but also the bright, beautiful woman he can no longer live without. But he just might have to.

••••••

SANDY’S review: GRIM AND BEAR IT is the sixth (and final?) instalment in Juliette Cross’ contemporary, adult STAY A SPELL erotic, paranormal romance series focusing on the Savoie Sisters of New Orleans. This is grim /necromancer Henry Blackwater, and witch Clara Savoie’s story line. GRIM AND BEAR IT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but for back story I recommend reading this series in order as Clara and Henry’s story begins at the beginning of the series

Told from dual first person perspectives (Clara and Henry) GRIM AND BEAR IT follows the building romance and relationship between grim/ necromancer Henry Blackwater, and witch Clara Savoie. From the first time they met Clara knew Henry would be the man to steal her heart but Henry, a quiet and shy introvert, always kept his distance, until the day Clara arrived at his doorstep with cupcakes and an invitation to her weekly book club. The proposal was Henry’s ‘invite’ into Clara’s heart but all was not well in Henry’s past, and his ‘grim’ was paying the price for the sins of the father. When Henry’s father is arrested for the murder of his girlfriend, Henry must use his abilities to uncover the truth. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Henry and Clara, and the potential fall-out as our couple are targeted when Henry gets too close to the truth.

Henry Blackwater prefers to keep to himself in the aftermath of a betrayal by his own father. As a young grim Henry was forced to face the dangers beyond the vale, a danger that changed Henry into something else. Clara has been attracted to Henry from the first day that they met but Henry appeared unaffected by every attempt by Clara at seduction and flirting.

The relationship between Clara and Henry is a friends to lovers in which Clara is the first to make a move on the man with whom she is falling in love but as Henry reveals the secrets from his past, Clara refocuses her heart on the man and their future. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters most of whom we have met in the previous instalments including all of Clara’s sisters and their significant others: Evie and Mateo (Wolf Gone Wild #1), Devraj and Isadora (Don’t Hex and Drive #2), Nico and Violet (Witches Get Stitches 3), Gareth and Livvy (Always Practice Safe Hex 4), Jules and Ruben (Resting Witch Face 5), their mother Serena, as well as their growing families; Henry’s young brother Sean, their father Silas Blackwater, human bartenders JJ and Charlie; wolf shifter from the Blood Moon Pack Alpha Shane. I am hoping the author has plans for a series focusing on the wolves or a second generation series following the numerous children of the Savoie Sisters-plenty of baby fever for everyone.

GRIM AND BEAR IT is a story of betrayal and vengeance, jealousy and obsession, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is captivating and enchanting; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are magical and mystical.

 

BARB’s Review:
Grim and Bear It by Juliette Cross is the 6th book in her wonderful Stay A Spell series. I am a big fan of Juliette Cross, having read all of her books, and I have loved them all.  She is an amazing author, who gives us fantastic stories, as well as wonderful characters; totally enthralling us in each and every book. Needless to say, I loved loved Grim and Bear It.  I am sad that this is the finale of the Stay A Spell series, and our wonderful Savoie family.

Grim and Bear It centers on Clara and Henry, who we have been waiting for their story.  Clara Savois has always been attracted to Henry Blackwater, and knows he also has feelings for her. We have watched over the last few books how they keep circling around themselves, with most of the family knowing they were meant for each other.  Clara decides to take matters in her own hands, going to Henry’s house and bringing cupcakes; and she convinces him to join her High Tea Romance Book Club (he loves books). In a short time, Clara professes her feelings to Henry, and he finally expressed how much he loved her.  It was so sweet to see how much love Clara and Henry had for each other; she was his ray of sunshine, and he was so romantic to her.  I did get a kick out of the family seeing them finally together. 

Henry had a number of issues, being a grim, but Clara was always there for him, using her Aura, and lighting his darkness.  When Henry’s father is arrested, Henry must put aside the distance between them over the years, and find a way to prove his innocence.  He must use his grim abilities to enter a portal for the dead, bringing back nightmares from when he was a child; Clara will be instrumental in helping Henry.

What follows is an exciting, romantic and steamy story that had me unable to put the book down, which is no surprise, as I am always hooked on Juliette’s books. To say too much more would be spoilers.  I loved spending time with all our previous heroines and heroes, who all played a large part of this book. Jules showed up later, and it was so heartwarming to see all the Savoie sisters, how they support and love each other.   The epilogue was fantastic.

Grim and Bear It was so well written by Juliette Cross; as it was another fantastic story in this wonderful series. This was a great series that was a joy to read throughout, with so much love, wonderful sisters and their mates, fun, sexy, heartwarming and a perfect end to the series.  If you enjoy a paranormal romance, exciting, action, witches, family, great secondary characters, and sexy, you should have been reading this entire series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 25, 2023

I let her go once because she wasn’t mine. This time, I’ll die before I give her up…

I want her.

That smile… those curves.

But Ava doesn’t belong to me.

Then she arrives in my clubhouse, seeking refuge. My gut churns at the sight of the bruises on her face, the fear in her eyes.

Before I was the president of the War Brothers Motorcycle Club, I was a special forces sniper who hunted down evil men like her husband. Now I avoid relationships because the wounds I have are more than skin deep.

But Ava’s different, and when I find her in the wrong bedroom—my bedroom—one night, what happens next changes everything.

I let her go once because she was married, but I won’t make the same mistake twice.

I’ll die before I let her dangerous husband, the jealous women in our club, or the enemy our club didn’t see coming lay a finger on her.

Because this time around, Ava is mine.

•••••••

REVIEW:The War Brothers Motorcycle Club, a club of bonded brothers and the women they come to love. Reaper is the first in what I hope to be a long series, by BLW. This is a first read with this author, and I can honestly say, I can’t wait to get my hands on more.

NOTE: Trigger warning for some, there is rough language and situations.

Reaper saw Ava once, said no more than a few words to her, and wanted her. Wanted her like he has never wanted anything or anyone ever in his life. She isn’t his though, she belongs to another, not to mention she is the sister to one of his mens women. He has to let her go. Even if it kills him.

Ava is in a bad spot. A husband who controls her, who hurts her, who has taken over every single bit of her life. She thought she was getting her happily ever after, turns out, she couldn’t have been more wrong. When her shady husband finally takes the final step with Ava, she makes the choice to run. Turning to her sister and her new found family of the War Brothers MC, she seeks safety.

When Reaper and Ava meet again, their connection is still just as fiery and intense as it was at first meet. Ava takes shelter in Reaper and his brothers, first with protection and then with more with Reaper. The Brothers hide Ava for as long as possible before the cat is finally let out of the bag. Now Ava must make the choice to fight back against the abuse of her husband and take hold of the new future she has with Reaper.

Oh what a great way to get back into MC series’. Reaper and Ava are toe-curling, jaw clenching, drama to read. Not to mention their sexy bits are passionate and hot. The more you read about these two, the more you want from them. Ava, while she is emotionally wounded, has an inner strength that sparks to life under the care of Reaper. And Reaper, he is everything you want for Ava, strong, protective, alpha, then as he shares more about himself, you realize how much they truly need one another. They fill that gap in each other that makes the best books even better. Fantastic Read!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 4, 2023

My hobbies consist of shopping, eating, and sleeping. Yeah, I know, it doesn’t sound like I have much going for me, but what is a girl to do when she has an overbearing father who doesn’t allow her to be anything but a socialite?

I’m used to being in the spotlight, but when my father starts getting threats on my life, he hires a bodyguard.

Maxim Levin, the Russian God with intense eyes and a face carved from stone. I don’t think the man has ever cracked a smile. He’s domineering, broody, and scary as hell.

The more time I spend with him, the more his secrets come to light.
Turns out he’s not just a regular bodyguard.
My father hired an assassin.
An Assassin! Aka, a man who unalives people for a living.

Maxim has one more secret yet to be uncovered, and when I finally crack the hard shell of his unforgiving exterior, I’m in for the shock of my life.

•••••

REVIEW:Restrain Me is book four in the Corrupted Royals series by Michelle Heard.
Maxim Levin – 38 years old – he is the number one assassin in the world, and he has been asked by his best friend to do a favor for him. He has been asked to be a bodyguard for one Camille Dubois. Camille Dubois – 27-year-old socialite whose father is about to become the next Prime Minister of France.

Max usually doesn’t take on jobs as a bodyguard, but as soon as he heard who his charge was. You see Max has only one regret in his long career as the world’s best assassin – and that is 10 years ago he shot and innocent girl by mistake. That girl would turn out to be Camille. Max takes the job, knowing that the only way he can ever repay her for his mistake is to make sure no harm comes to her.

Camille is not your normal socialite. While she does all that is asked of her in making appearances and such, she just doesn’t like it much.
She is more of a stay at home and hang out on the couch kind of girl. And she has lived a pretty amazing life up until now. Her father just introduced her to Max Levin, and everything about this man intimidates her. He is cold, quiet and looks every bit as deadly as he is.

And her life will be turned upside down when her father tells her someone is trying to kill her, that is why they need Max to protect her. Her quiet life of retreating to her penthouse to eat snacks and watch tv in solitude is over. When Max is hired to stay with her 24/7 until the threat against her life is over. Camille doesn’t do well with placing another person in her personal space, let alone someone that acts like he has never been around normal people before. But slowly as Max begins to open up to her, she starts to see who he really is. And she begins to have feelings for him. Ones that she never imagines would be reciprocated. But the more time Max spends with Cami, the more he begins to fall for her. And while he knows this is just a job, he can’t help but love the person that she is.

When a threat becomes real against her in her penthouse, Max takes her away to one of his safe houses. A cabin in the remote Foret d’Orient nature reserve. There they form a relationship of mutual respect and love. And it is simply amazing to watch Max open up and allow someone into his heart. But the more they fall for each other Max knows he must tell Cami the truth – that he is the one that shot her so many years ago.

Will she still love him after? He has no way of knowing how she react to the news.

Truly enjoy this book which can be read as a stand alone but why would you when the entire series is absolutely delicious in every way. Michelle Heard’s world of the underground is an absolute must read. Highly recommend.

–>Please be mindful of the Author’s Note at the beginning, as this book is for mature audiences and does contain triggering content.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 28, 2023

They say when you die, your whole life plays over in your mind like a Hallmark movie. A rose-tinted reflection to remind you what a great life you’ve led.

But for me, that wasn’t the case.

There was no romantic, nostalgic ending for me.

All I had was pain, darkness, and despair on the day I died, dragged by fire into the depths of hell. That’s where I live now. A shadow of the man I used to be. A ghost living in my former life.

Life goes on, but not for me.

She burst into my world with her smiles and her sledgehammer, ready to smash down my walls. She thinks she can save me, but she won’t. I don’t want to be saved. But I’ll play along. After all, that’s all I have left now, a life of pretend and a world of lies, where I play the role they want me to play.

Zak Atwood.Son.Brother.Friend.But boyfriend?

That’s never going to happen.How can I live that life when all I feel is dead inside?

••••••••

REVIEW: I’ll admit, Zak was never my favourite character, all through the books he came across as an a$$, selfish and a total player. But the way Nikki wrote this book….. I’d forgotten and forgiven him his past discretions.

This character went through sooooo much, his fight to reach the top of his hill was just jaw dropping.

After a fire that left him fighting for his life Zak withdrew from the world. For five long years he thinks himself a monster and a burden to family and friends, he lives away from his “Rebels of Sandland” gang, he lives in shadows. But his boys have never given up on him. They know the old Zak is under there somewhere, he just needs time.

A wedding is just the excuse they need, they badger Zak until he relents and agrees to the wedding. Where he meets Morgan. She hits him like a bolt of lightning, but he’s not going to give her what she wants, oh no sir, it’s his way all the way….

Morgan for me was the perfect foil for Zak, bright and cheery to his dark and bitter. But Morgan also has issues that she’s trying hard to constantly work on.

Both need each other, both balance one another, but convincing Zak of that, yeah good luck. He’s happy to dominate and control Morgan in the bedroom (and man some of those scenes need to come with a glass of cold water) but he’s not boyfriend material, and he never will be….

But as I’ve said, Morgan won’t give up. She just keeps turning up, being there, lending Zak an ear…But there is always a twist in these books, and the twist came out of nowhere snd walloped me a good one. I didn’t not expect that!!!!

–>There are triggers in this book that will upset some people, please read the advisement before grabbing this book.

I personally loved it. I cried whilst reading it, I’m crying now as I write the final review in the “Rebels of Sandland” series.

It’s full of ups/downs/twists and turns. Plenty of laughter and banter, but it also shows the resilience, the determination that the soul has to rise out of the ashes and live once again in the light.

A highly recommended read. Grab the book, grab the series, then grab the spin off ? you really won’t be disappointed.

RENEGADE HEARTS
Rebels of Sandland #1
by Nikki J Summers
Genre: contemporary, new adult, dark, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date: July 28, 2020

They are the boys your mother always warned you about. They’re every parent’s worst nightmare. Arrogant, cocky and self-assured.

They used the town of Sandland like it was their own personal playground. They didn’t follow the rules. They made their own. Most girls were drawn to them like a moth to a flame, but Emily Winters wasn’t like most girls.

A politician’s daughter. A good girl with morals and principles. She represented everything they despised. The only problem was she lived her life in a perfectly orchestrated smokescreen; and where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

They wanted to expose her for what she was; a pretty little liar hiding the ugliest truths.

But when the truth comes out and lies are exposed, who will be the one to eventually crash and burn?

Renegade Hearts is a New Adult Romance from Nikki J Summers, suitable for readers 18 years+. Please read the trigger warnings.

••••••

REVIEW: Boy meets girl…. Both can’t stand one another…. Enemies become lovers…..The same trope ….BUT….. the way it’s delivered….. OH LORD!!!

It’s full of betrayal/mystery and angst, oh and don’t forget the off the chart chemistry.

It is a slow burn, but that’s ok, we need time to get our heads around the mind games Ryan tries use with Emily, to determine if Dave’s as dirty as her father is!!

I’ve read this author before (her Soldiers of anarchy series, which is totally AMAZING) and technically this series should be read before that one (only because you’ll know who gets their happy ever after)

So I’m aware of the “Renaissance Men” as I’d met them in the soldiers of anarchy series. I’d been curious about the team from Sandland they had come off as real a$$holes, but maybe that’s the perspective of the characters from the previous books??

Ryan is the rebel your mother warned you about, rough, tough and smug. Illegal fights and secret parties are his way of making money. But scratch under the surface and you’ll find a boy who loves his father (his mother died) and will defend both family and close friends to the death.

Emily is the complete opposite, the world sees her as a good girl, devoted daughter to a politician father and a socialite mother. But Emily is sick of the false facade her family present to the world, to her parents Emily is just a face to parade in front of the press and their affluent friends! It’s a lonely life, made only bearable because of her brother, but sadly he died, so Emily is alone, thank goodness for her friends. Emily wants to change her life, but not sure how to go about it.

The list of supporting characters were a fascinating bunch of people. Emily’s gang of two (Liv and Effy) who were just great characters (especially Liv) and Ryan’s gang which consisted of Brandon (not a huge fan of that guy) Zak and Finn began to grow on me. I was not a fan of Emily’s parents!! But I loved Ryan’s dad (and his older brother Connor)

Their story will have your head and heart in a war…. Head saying let this dude go and move on, too much baggage. And the heart wanting to hang in there and it will all work itself out. It’s a push and pull, a war of words, of one up man ship

–> There are triggers warning, so please read them if you’re not sure,<–

So can Ryan let go of his anger, and thirst for revenge? Can Emily step out from her families shadow and become her own person? Will the betrayal that Emily feels when she’s exposed to the truth about their relationship be gotten over?

I loved this book and I’ll be hot footing it over to read the next bad boy (Brandon and Harper) In their story Tortured Souls.

TORTURED SOULS
Rebels of Sandland #2
by Nikki J Summers
Genre: contemporary, new adult, dark, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: RELEASE DATE: November 7, 2020

They say the devil appears in many different forms. To the town of Sandland, his face was one of them.

He was a rebel. A brawler. A bare-knuckle boxer that you’d cross the road to avoid if you saw him coming the other way. When he left our town, no one shed a tear, because Brandon Mathers was trouble and trouble followed him wherever he went.

The night he disappeared, he left behind a lifetime of devastation for the rest of us to bear. He didn’t care. He enjoyed creating chaos and leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

But he was never going to stay hidden for long. He had too much bravado; too much ego. He couldn’t cope with being ignored. So, in the dead of night, when the darkness welcomes all the dirty, filthy creatures to come out to play, so does he. He thinks nobody sees him or the wicked things he does. But I do. He thinks I don’t know that he watches. But I see him. I watch him too.

He thinks he’s coming for me, but I’m already lying in wait. When the time is right, I’m going to destroy his blackened soul just like he’s tortured mine. He’ll never see it coming, but when it does, I’ll be there to remind him that Karma is real… And her name is Harper Yates.

•••••

REVIEW: Brandon….. Brandon …. Brandon….

I wasn’t too sure about you when I was reading Emily and Ryan’s book (Renegade Hearts) you came off as such a jerk in the beginning!! I wanted to wait, to process you and see you grow in other books. But I didn’t get my wish!! And you know what I’m glad you were the second book.

Brandon is a fighter through and through. He lives to fight and for his mates. But when an incident in book one alienates him from his pack, Brandon sees it as a betrayal! And he’s hold one person responsible……

Harper is out for revenge, her family is hurting because of one guy Brandon! She’s going to make him pay, prison would be too good for him, she wants him dead!

We see Brandon in a whole different light in this book. I don’t want to give too much away from the first book, but Brandon really was a loose cannon, he didn’t really care who he upset and that included his crew! And now in his mind, there are a lot of people he needs to repay for abandoning him, for making him a scapegoat and for ruining his life! He’s all alone and it’s making him crazy!

Harper and Brandon play cat and mouse, neither will give an inch in this game. Both want their lives back, but their lives will never be the same again.

So when does hate turn to love? When do they lean on each other instead of trying to kill one another? And when an unexpected announcement turns into something more, it rocks Brandon’s world!

We catch up with the same characters in the first book, which I love, I like seeing how the characters continue to evolve, and to get insights into the next story.

So can Brandon and Harper really get past all their issues?

Book one is still my favourite in the series, but Brandon definitely knocks on the door of my emotions. You can’t help but feel sorry for his situation and his upbringing. Harper had me in tears, I literally felt the sorrow she went through ?

This book has all the feels, has tons of emotion, and although a slow burn, it delivers on the steam when we finally get there.

–> Please read the triggers before opening this book.<–

It’s a great second book in a series that is becoming a firm favourite.

Rebels of Sandland #3

Genre: contemporary, new adult, dark, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 2, 2021

The rebel without a voice, that’s me. But just because I choose to keep quiet, doesn’t mean there isn’t a raging fire burning inside. Still waters run deep, after all, and there’s a lot of secrets I’ve kept hidden from the world.

Art has always been my escape from the evil that’s tried to drag me down. It was all I had.

Until her.

Effy Spencer is like nobody I’ve ever met, but everything I’ve ever wanted. In my dreams, I’m her whole world. In reality, I’m her worst nightmare. I can’t let my darkness drown her. That’s why I stay away. That, and the fact that he’s back now, and he’s going to destroy my life if it’s the last thing he does.

__________

REVIEW: Boy meets girl…Boy has loved girl forever…But boy doesn’t think he’s good enough for girl!

Finn is the quiet one in the Sandland group, in fact he says very little to outsiders, so people look at him as weird! He also had a habit of retreating into his own world…..

Effy has loved Finn for ages, but he’s never really noticed her, and when he does notice her, it’s always a quick glance or a word then he’s back into his own space. But it doesn’t deter her, it cracks her heart a little every time, but she doesn’t want to give up on Finn, but if he doesn’t let her in soon, her heart won’t stand much more!

Something needs to give and give soon…..

This book I was both anxious and looking forward to reading. I’d read books one and two “Renegade Hearts” and “Tortured Souls “, and loved them. But they did hint at a side of Finn we hadn’t seen yet. Did I really want to know his dark past?

–>There are triggers in this book, and I would advise you to read the warnings. It is heartbreaking, it does make you see Finn as a survivor never a victim.

Effy is just a wonderful soul, the peacemaker, the caregiver, the shining star in Finn’s dark and soulless world. She does back down a lot in the previous books, and it did make her look like a doormat. But she does have a backbone, and for the people she lives, she will roar like the lioness she is.

Finn gets himself into a little bit of trouble with the “Soldiers of Anarchy” (this series is a spin off, and FYI it’s freaking brilliant) and they in turn blackmail him into doing things he would never usually do. (And the last task has dire consequences)

The push and pull between Effy and Finn really did a tap dance on my emotions, I’m left shouting at my kindle “for goodness sake kiss her” or “enough is enough Effy, walk the f@&k away!”

He doesn’t think he’s good enough, or that his darkness will taint her. She knows she can weather anything he throws at her.

With the darkness we also have light moments, we have scenes that will make you chuckle. And we catch up with the main characters from books one and two. And we also have the ending that will set the scene for book four “Reckless Lies” and that scene….. had me bawling like a baby…..

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 4, 2023

I’ll do anything to save my family. Even if it means marrying the devil himself.

Cillian Kildare is a monster wrapped in charm and sophistication. A gorgeous psychopath with venom in his veins and sadism driving every beat of his cold, black heart.

When I’m sent to kill the vicious Irish mafia boss to settle a debt from my past, it’s supposed to be simple.

It becomes a lot less simple when Cillian catches me, and carves his way into my darkest secrets and most deviant desires.

Now, captured and bound as his prisoner plaything, he has new plans for me: an unholy marriage of inconvenience.

He’ll protect me from my past. And for six months, I’ll give him my body, my soul, and my submission—willing or otherwise.

It’s just physical. A contract and nothing more.

But the devil, as they say, is in the details.

And if I’m not careful, this devil might soon break his way into something else:

My heart.

••••••

REVIEW: VICIOUS HEARTS is the second instalment in Jagger Cole’s contemporary, adult DARK HEARTS dark, erotic, Mafia romance series., set in the author’s KINGS AND VILLAINS world. This is the head of the Kildare Irish Mob Cillian Kildare, and Una O’Conor’s story line. VICIOUS HEARTS can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading DEVIANT HEARTS for back story and cohesion.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL be triggers for more sensitive readers including graphic violence, child ab*se, BDSM and self harm.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cillian and Una) VICIOUS HEARTS follows in the aftermath of the attempted assassination of Cillian Kildare at the hands of Una O’Conor. Una is hoping to save the life of her twin and brother Finn but someone is directing our heroine behind the scenes. Her latest target is the head of the Irish Mob Cillian Kildare, the man with whom Una will fall in love, but a man who is going to use Una to win a war. A marriage of convenience is meant to unite the warring families of the Irish Mob but all does not go according to plan when a ghost from the past, returns with a vengeance.

Cillian Kildare is a sadist; a socio-path, a psychotic madman who needs to vent his rage and his anger, and his targets are usually the lowest of the low. Since an early age, Cillian knew something wasn’t right but he would channel his need for revenge at those who deserved it the most. Having barely survived a childhood of abuse and torture, Una is the perfect outlet for our story line hero.

The relationship between Cillian and Una is an enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience predicated upon years of madness and abuse. Una was desperate to save the brother she hadn’t see in almost two years, and Cillian was the ticket to free her brother from captivity but all was not as it appeared to be, and Una’s relationship with the past was about to destroy everything she knew. The $ex scenes are aggressive, dangerous and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters including Neve and Ares (Deviant Hearts 1), Neve’s sister Eilish; Cillian’s second in command Castle; Are’s brothers Hades and Kratos, their sister Calliope, and their Ya-ya Dimitra; Director of FBI Operations Shane Dorsey; Psychiatrist Dr. Gail Thompson. The requisite evil is someone familiar. Hades story is next in Sinful Hearts.

VICIOUS HEARTS is a graphic story of violence and abuse, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, madness and insanity, forgiveness and love. The premise is dark, gritty, dramatic and intense; the characters are broken and determined; the romance is provocative.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 4, 2023

Hooking up with a cop was supposed to be fun.
How joking with Detective Lennox Maison about her handcuffs transformed into her actually arresting me was something I could’ve never predicted.
I thought it was a joke at first, but what kind of person would joke about the murder of a local woman?
Lennox claimed I was the last one to see her alive.
I should have an alibi. I should be able to tell them exactly what I was doing that night.
The truth is, I can’t remember, and that argument never holds up in court.
I manage to convince her that I’m innocent, only for it to happen again.
I not only have to worry about being falsely accused of murder, but now I have to worry if I’ve put Lennox in the crosshairs of a serial killer.

REVIEW: UGLY is the twenty-sixth instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult CERBERUS MC erotic, MC romance series focusing on the Cerberus MC, most of whom are former US Marines who aid and help those unable to help themselves. This is Sawyer ‘Ugly’ Maddox, and Detective Lennox Maison’s story line. UGLY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of UGLY cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events in book twenty-five BOOMER.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lennox and Ugly) UGLY follows in the aftermath of a sexual assault and murder, blamed on our story line hero. Detective Lennox Maison is a woman on a mission, and as the lead in the case, she is quick to finger Sawyer ‘Ugly’ Maddox as the guilty party but her inability to let go of the past and the murder of someone close, clouds her judgement in a possible case of a serial killer at work, as she continues to remain sexually involved with, and the police continue to point the finger at our story line hero. As Sawyer aka Ugly continues to help with the investigation, another murder places Ugly in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the building but forbidden relationship between Ugly and Lennox, and the potential fall-out as Lennox may be compromised in her relationship with our story line hero.

Lennox Maison has struggle in the fifteen years since the murder of someone close. Every opportunity to continue the investigation is met with a dead end but Lennox is determined to prove that the recent string of murders may be connected to the past, a past long thought dead and gone. Sawyer ‘Ugly’ Maddox fell for Lennox the first time they met. A one-night stand ended when our heroine ghosted Sawyer Maddox but when suspicion points a finger at Sawyer, Lennox refuses to back down until the proof is revealed.

The relationship between Sawyer and Lennox begins as a one-night stand that quickly develops into a police investigation but our hero doesn’t remember the night of the first murder, and the second murder will quickly be pinned on the man with whom Lennox is falling in love. The investigation is now compromised with the relationship between Lennox and Sawyer but Lennox will be targeted by a ghost from the past. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense but I dislike the use of a certain four-letter word in my romance story line.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we have met in the previous story lines. Bishop was on security duty the night of the attack against our story line heroine, and he has yet to recover from his injuries. Bishop’s story is next.

UGLY is a story of madness, murder and mayhem, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and acceptance, forgiveness and growing love. The fast paced premise is gritty, intriguing and suspenseful; the romance is provocative; the characters are desperate and dynamic. UGLY ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Let’s see…where to begin…

I’m inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.

I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)

We have two boys we’re doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman.

I have a master’s degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there’s usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.

If I’m not writing; I’m reading.

My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I’m reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it’s gotten me exactly where I need to be!)

I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.

Ghostly Game (GhostWalkers #19) by Christine Feehan-Review, Excerpt & Giveaway

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 2, 2023

Gideon “Eagle” Carpenter is used to rolling with the punches life has thrown at him. It’s the only thing that’s kept him alive. He and his team of GhostWalkers have seen and experienced it all. He does his best to live with all the sins written on his soul. Then he hears the laughter of a woman with the ability to erase—even for a few precious moments—the darkness of his past.

Laurel “Rory” Chappel has always been a nomad. She’s accustomed to taking care of herself, despite the physical challenges she lives with. She thinks she’s too weak to find real love, but that doesn’t stop her interest in Gideon from turning into a full-on addiction. He’s all rough edges and danger contrasted with a tenderness that makes her feel safe. Still, after a life spent in motion, she’s not sure she knows how to stay in one place.

Gideon hopes he can persuade Rory to take a chance on him with every electric touch. But soon, life conspires against him, forcing the GhostWalker to risk everything to protect the woman he loves….

••••••

REVIEW:GHOSTLY GAME is the nineteenth instalment in Christine Feehan’s contemporary, adult GHOSTWALKERS erotic, paranormal romance series focusing on an elite group (4 teams) of enhanced men and women known as the GhostWalkers (GW). These ‘super soldiers’ were once part of an unauthorized government experiment performed by Dr. Peter Whitney. The original GhostWalkers struggled without a female anchor, a female whose genetic and enhanced powers were often in tandem with the men involved. This is GhostWalkers Gideon ‘Eagle’’ Carpenter, and bartender Laurel ‘Rory’ Chappel’s story line. GHOSTLY GAME can be read as a stand alone but for back story I recommend reading the series in order, or at the very least book one SHADOW GAME where the reader is introduced to the world of the GhostWalker.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Gideon and Rory) GHOSTLY GAME follows with Gideon’s discovery of the woman he believes is his fated mate. Laurel ‘Rory’ Chappel rarely stays in one place or city for very long but has found a home and friendship in San Francisco. A series of break ins and murders in her apartment building finds our heroine the target of police, police she begins to suspect are on the wrong side of the law. Meanwhile, several mysterious and dangerous men begin to follow our heroine from work to home, where she will come face to face with her future in the guise of GhostWalker Gideon Carpenter. What ensues is the building but trepidatious relationship between Gideon and Rory, and the fall-out as Rory’s issues of trust implode when secrets and lies push her out of Gideon’s life.

Rory Chappel has no idea she is a GhostWalker: a part of Peter Whitney’s orphaned girl experiments, experiments of which have left Rory with no memory of her early life, or the torture and pain that had been inflicted as a child but the more time she spends with Gideon, using their telepathic abilities, Rory’s memories and powers begin to tear at the fabric of her mind, a tear that can only be healed by a psychic physician.

Gideon Carpenter has not been forthcoming about who he is, and what he can do but it is his team of GhostWalkers that threatens his growing relationship with our story line heroine. Mack McKinley, Gideon’s team leader, suspects Rory is the enemy, sent by Dr. Peter Whitney, and as such has the entire team looking at Rory as an assassin, biding her time to destroy them all. As Rory continues to struggle with issues of trust, she begins to pull away, suspecting she has more than one target aiming to take her down. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters from GhostWalkers Team Three headed by Mack McKinley and his wife Jaime: Javier Enderman, Kane Cannon, Paul Mangan, Rhianna Bonds, Ethan Meyers, Lucas Atherton, Marc Lands, and Brian Hutton but saying that we are not witness to their powers or their strengths with the exception of Paul Mangan. We are introduced to Rory’s friends and neighbors: Lydia Sawyer, Janice DeWitt, Pam Williams, Cindy Atler and Sally Hudson, and Rory’s boss Brad Fitzpatrick, and Detective Warren Larrsen. The requisite evil has many faces.

The world building continues to focus on Dr. Peter Whitney and his experiments that have created a super solider, as well as the abuse of a number of little girls under his ‘care’ but use of these powers amongst Team Three is limited throughout the story except in the case of Gideon and Paul. I have to question why the Team would text information to one another when each of them has the ability to talk telepathically between minds.

GHOSTLY GAME is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, abuse, torture and brutality, acceptance and love. The premise is detailed and intriguing; the romance is subtle; the characters are powerful, determined and strong.

“I’m not getting the GhostWalker vibe off her,” Gideon said, his eyes on the woman talking to one of her many male customers.
It didn’t matter that her hair was piled on her head in a sloppy knot that was falling out tendril by wayward tendril; it was obvious she had masses of hair, and it was dark cherry red. The real deal. Cherry red. He’d never seen that color of hair on anyone before. Every time she moved under a light, it blazed into vibrant life. It was difficult to keep his eyes off her.
She had those eyes. A deep green. Emerald? Jade? No, emerald for certain. Her eyes sparkled when she talked to her customers. She looked directly at them even when she was mixing drinks, her rhythm never faltering. Sometimes she would laugh softly, the sound musical, turning heads no matter how low it was in the noise of the crowded bar.
“You’ve been here several times over the last couple of weeks, Javier.” Gideon made it a statement. It would be difficult to get anything past Javier.
Gideon had held out as long as he could. The doctor hadn’t given him permission to come see Rory in person, but he couldn’t resist the compulsion any longer. Javier wasn’t happy about it, but he’d come along to ensure Gideon didn’t tear open any wounds. In other words, Gideon thought a little ironically, babysitting.
“I’ve watched her closely,” Javier admitted. “I can’t see any indication that she’s a GhostWalker, other than she has extraordinary reflexes. Her bartending skills are amazing. She’s fast and can handle multiple orders. She doesn’t seem to forget faces or names. On the other hand, I’ve followed her home every night, and she doesn’t run or exhibit any kind of behaviors or skills a GhostWalker might under cover of darkness. She walks, Gideon. Even if there’s a threat to her, which, on more than one occasion, I shut down.”
Gideon didn’t like that. The bartender everyone called Rory was a very attractive woman, although she didn’t seem to notice that she was. She didn’t flirt with her customers so much as genuinely try to connect in a friendly, positive way. If a man asked her out, she gave him a grin but refused gently.
Gideon liked the sprinkling of freckles across her nose and her generous mouth. It would be easy to fixate on both. “You did a background search on her?” Javier was a genius with computers. Gideon knew Javier had. He’d read the report multiple times and committed it to memory. He hoped Javier had updated it.
“Not much to find. She moves around a lot. Lost her parents early. Put herself through bartending school and uses that to earn her way. She doesn’t stay in one place very long. She goes to a state, travels within that state for a little while and moves on to the next one.”
“Anyone following her?”
“Not that I can find.”
Gideon slid his fingers around the neck of the beer bottle and rolled it back and forth. “I’m really drawn to her, Javier, more than any woman I’ve ever been around. The chemistry for me is off the charts. That doesn’t happen. Not like this. Not just with the sound of her voice. Her laughter. Now, watching other men around her, my attraction to her could be a little on the dangerous side, and you know I’m really not that man.”
Javier studied him, one eyebrow arched.
“Not over a woman,” Gideon clarified. “How can I trust it? You know Whitney pairs us. Would he pair someone who isn’t a GhostWalker just to experiment?”
Javier shrugged. “I wouldn’t put it past the bastard to do anything, but what would it matter even if he did pair the two of you? Look at Kane and Rose. They’re happy together. Whitney didn’t make that happen. He might be able to make you attractive to each other, but he can’t manipulate your emotions.”
“And if she’s a plant?”
Again, Javier shrugged. “Then she’s an enemy, Gideon, and I’ll kill her. Whitney doesn’t get to have spies in our home.”
Every cell in Gideon’s body instantly rejected Javier’s casual threat. “Not happening, brother. I wouldn’t be able to let you do it,” he admitted. “That’s another black mark to put in the column against her.”
