KING OF THE BOROUGHS by Penny Dee

REVIEW: KING OF THE BOROUGHS by Penny Dee is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, second chance, Mafia erotic, romance novella focusing on twenty-seven year olds Alessandro Lastrantonios, and Bella Isle Cicculas.

Told from dual first person perspective KING OF THE BOROUGHS follows ten years after Bella Isle Cicculas’ life imploded. A split between the warring factions of Italy’s criminal underworld sent the Isle Cicculas family to New York, where Bella waited for the boy she had loved all of her life. When Alessandro Lastrantonios failed to rescue our heroine at eighteen years of age, Bella hardened her heart to what was and what will never be. Fast forward to present day wherein Alessandro comes to claim Bella as his own-a payment for a debt owed. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Bella and Alessandro, and the potential fall-out as the fall-out of their reunion begins to affect others in their life.

The relationship between Alessandro and Bella is one of second chances: a rekindling romance wherein Bella’s hand in marriage is payment for a debt, a debt incurred by her beloved father. Refusing to give into what Alessandro demands, Bella struggles between head and heart knowing that in the end, she is still in love with the man that broke her heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate.

KING OF THE BOROUGHS is a story of family and broken relationships; obsession, power and control; relationships, second chances, acceptance and love. The premise is intriguing and engaging; the romance is raw and spicy-the sexual chemistry is heavy and hot; the characters are strong, startling and captivating.

THE UNWANTED CROWN by KE Osborn

REVIEW: THE UNWANTED CROWN by KE Osborn is a contemporary, adult, criminal underworld, erotic, romance novella found in the author’s Houston Defiance MC series. This is twenty-seven year old, Savanah Del Rey, and Hunter McHale’s story line . Savanah was first introduced in FUGITIVE (Houston Defiance MC 3).

Told from three first person perspectives (Savanah, Hunter, King) THE UNWANTED CROWN follows the ‘arranged marriage’ of twenty-seven year old Savanah Del Rey, to Irish mobster Hunter McHale. Savanah’s father is a part of the French mob, and is brokering a treaty with the Irish Mafia aka Hunter McHale. The merging of the two crime syndicates is a power play, and our heroine, Savanah is about to sit on the throne at the top. But someone from Savanah’s past is hoping to rekindle their love, but said man isn’t willing to interfere with the Irish mob.

THE UNWANTED CROWN is an arranged marriage, mobster romance story line. We are introduced to Savanah’s parents Elena and Francois, as well as her ex-boyfriend Titus King, and the return of Kevlar, Jovie, Zero, and rock musician Rush Dayley. The premise is engaging and entertaining; the romance is furious and hot-the sexual chemistry is palpable; the characters are spirited and edgy.I am hoping the author has plans for their continuing story

KING’S GAMBIT by Emma James

KING’S GAMBIT by Emma James is a stand alone, slightly paranormal, romance novella that takes place in Old Town Chicago, in the year 2040 focusing on twenty-four year old, Queenie and thirty-two year old, billionaire Bradford King.

Told from three first person perspectives (Queenie, Bradford and Hemsworth) KING’S GAMBIT focuses on our heroine Queenie who works weekends at her family’s bar but during the week she owns and works at Kingdom of Wigs, a speciality store for men, women and children. A vicious attack behind the bar finds Queenie in the capable hands of her one –night stand Bradford King, and the ministrations of vampire couple Lorcan and Fern Gregario. As payment for a debt, Queenie finds herself beholden to billionaire Bradford King, a man whose back and forth attitude is anything but gracious and loving. What ensues is the building relationship and friendship between Queenie and Bradford, as Bradford steps lightly around the woman with whom he will fall in love.

We are introduced to Bradford’s right hand man Hemsworth , Queenie’s step father, Lorenzo Rossi aka Gino Carrollo, Lorcan and Fern Gregario, Layken and Henry, as well as several members of a bear-shifting crew.

KING’S GAMBIT is a story of friendships, relationships, betrayal and vengeance. The premise is inviting; the romance is seductive; the characters are sassy and spirited.

PENNY DEE

I’ve written stories for as long as I can remember. I wrote my first book when I was five. It was called The Goodies and it was about a drive to the shops to get milk. It was amazing. It was also brilliantly illustrated in orange felt tip pen because I was all about the awesomeness when I was five years old.

Skip forward a few decades… and I write romance, erotic romance and romantic suspense. And MC romance. And rockstar romance. And contemporary romance. Hell, if they’re romancing then I’m writing it. I feel really fortunate because I get to meet interesting characters every single day—fictional characters who shock the hell out of me! I never know where their story is going until they lead me there. They’re in charge. They can be bossy and demanding. Sometimes a little impatient and frustrating. And let me tell you, they don’t understand the concept of quiet time.

No. I am not crazy.

When you write fiction, you share your grey matter with a lot of characters. Characters who show up unannounced and demand to be put to paper.

Fictional characters aside, I also like to hear from real humans so don’t be shy, drop me a line and say hi.

I promise you. I am not crazy.

EMMA JAMES

Emma James is the author of the completed Hell’s Bastard series, a jaw-dropping, highly addictive, unpredictable, sexy, and very twisted dark suspense/thriller series and also the much-loved Men of Ocean Beach series. 

Emma writes in multi-genre and loves to keep the reader guessing with all the twists and turns found in her stories. Always expect the unexpected.

One consistent thing with her stories is love will always rise from the ashes. 

Marley, her black Labrador, is the inspiration for Bear in Men of Ocean Beach series. Morrison, the family pet rescue cat, who has many OCDs, will be grabbing some of the limelight in a future standalone because the dude rocks the ‘tude. 

She likes Pina Coladas, but not getting caught in the rain. 

Emma takes regular zen breaks from her writing to listen to and stare at the ocean because you only live once, might as well stare at the sea when you can.
