ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 6, 2023

I wanted to be a painter. But that’s just a dream because a mafia princess doesn’t get to choose her future.
Still, I never let it get me down. I always try to make the best of everything.

Until I’m forced to go for brutal training, and I meet Nikolai Vetrov.
Forbidden and way too attractive, the man turns out to be my worst nightmare incarnated.
He’s cold and ruthless, and I’m pretty sure there’s no heart to be found in his chest, unlike mine that won’t stop beating overtime at the mere sight of him.

Just because I flirted with him, he’s dead set on making my life as miserable as possible.
And as if the hell I’ve been thrown into isn’t enough, the worst thing possible happens to me. It strips me of my light and drops me into a darkness so suffocating there’s no way for me to escape
There’s a lot I can endure and overcome, but the trauma and Nikolai Vetrov are two things I can’t handle. One of them is bound to be the end of me.

Unless a miracle happens, and let’s face it, I’m well past the point of believing in miracles.

REVIEW: Control Me is book two in the Corrupted Royals series by Michelle Heard.

Abigail Sartori is a mafia princess. She has spent the last several months at St. Monarchs – a school on neutral territory for the sons and daughters of the worlds underbelly.
This isn’t a finishing school or a vacation resort for the rich elite, this is a school that makes and teaches assassins, protectors and mafia princesses how to take care of themselves.

This hasn’t been a walk in the park for Abigail, in fact her mouth and endless flirtations tend to get her into a little bit of trouble. Abigail is absolutely hilarious and her attitude is simply amazing. She is all about having a good time. That is until she meets her combat instructor Nikolai Vetrov Nikolai is a member of the Bratva and also the Blood Diamond King. He is also the sworn enemy of her father. He is at St. Monarch’s to help out until they find a new combat instructor. But one thing he can’t tolerate is mafia princesses who have no idea how to even begin to take care of themselves.

Abigail came along and got right under his skin. She is clueless as to how to protect herself. The more she gets on his nerves the more he wants to get to know her. But there is one issue – she is is eighteen years younger than him. To her age is just a number and Nikolai is the walking embodiment of everything she is looking for in a man.
Nikolai slowly becomes very protective of Abigail from afar. Slowly Abigail starts wearing on Nikolai and things begin to heat up. That is until the ultimate unthinkable happens. Nikolai doesn’t know how to help Abigail, and Abigail doesn’t want his help. Their relationship is either going to grow or come to an end. But Nikolai isn’t about to let that happen.

This book grabbed my attention like no other Michelle Heard book. I was an emotional wreck the entire second half of this book. I have never felt what this book brought out in me. And I am here for it. What an amazing, emotional, fantastic trip this book is. I wanted nothing more than for Abigail and Nikolai to find each other since the last book. And I was not disappointed. Completely moving and beautiful.

Please heed the trigger warnings at the beginning of this book because it is truly heavy. This book also takes you deeper into the world that the previous book – Destroy Me built. You find out more information and in depth reasonings that you didn’t see in the previous book. But what a wonderful ride this book is.

Highly recommend Michelle Heards entire Mafia series – never in my wildest dreams did I think I would find what I was looking for in a Mafia series.
But here it is…

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 31, 2021.

Bratva Prince. Beautiful monster. Irresistible villain. “Just remember…you had the chance to run, and didn’t.” Our introduction was a warning. Our first meeting, a threat. They call him The Wolf—savage heir to the most brutal crime family in the world. A tattooed, green-eyed devil. A seductive psychopath who trades in mind-games and leaves a path of destruction in his wake. To know Ilya Volkov is to fear him. To defy him, lethal. Except, I didn’t get that memo.

As the new-student outcast at the ultra-exclusive Oxford Hills Academy, where the offspring and heirs of the world’s most elite churn like a viper’s nest, I spat in the dark prince’s face. Now, he wants to break me. My plan involves a prestigious university, law school, and a golden future. Ilya’s involves grinding me under his heel until I bend to his will. The harder I fight him, the deeper his claws sink. The more I tell myself I hate him, the harder it is to resist him. There’s a wolf howling at my door; huffing, puffing, and ready to blow my entire world down. And pretty soon, he might just devour me whole.

•••••••••••

REVIEW: SAVAGE HEIR by Jagger Cole is the first instalment in the author’s next generation, contemporary, adult erotic, Bratva, dark romance series-a spin off from the author’s BRATVA’S CLAIM series. This is Bratva Prince/heir Ilya Volkov and Tenley Chambers’ story line.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. Although all of the characters are high school aged, and attend a private, boarding school for the elite, Royal, rich or connected, the story line contains adult situations, therefore I do not recommend for anyone under eighteen years of age.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ilya and Tenley) SAVAGE HEIR follows the acrimonious and volatile relationship between Bratva Prince/heir Ilya Volkov, and American Tenley Chambers. Tenley Chambers’ father is the US Secretary of State, and is about to run for the office of the Vice-President of the United States but in an effort to secure his political standing, a fake relationship between Tenley and the son of her father’s running mate means Tenley finds herself at an elite boarding school in Europe where the rich and infamous fight for power and control. Hoping to earn some extra credit, Tenley ‘volunteers’ to tutor some of the other students but comes face to face with her future in the guise of Ilya Volkov aka The Wolf, and the boy/man with whom she will fall in love but Ilya comes from a world of threats and deception, and our heroine is about to learn the true meaning of power and control. What ensues is the building relationship between Ilya and Tenley, and the potential fall-out as the repercussions of Tenley’s relationship with Ilya threatens her father’s future.

Ilya Volkov, along with Lukas Komarov, and Misha Tsavakova, are the heir apparent in the world of the Russian Bratva, and as such have earned a reputation as dangerous and dark but none more so than Ilya, who, like his name, is more predator than most. Wanting Tenley Chambers for himself, Ilya demands everything from our story line heroine, including obedience, and her heart and soul.

The relationship between Tenley and Ilya is tentative at best as Ilya mistakes Tenley for someone else. From the outset, Ilya appears to be determined to destroy our heroine’s life, a life that now sits precariously out of her control. As Ilya continues to demand more of our heroine, Tenley battles between head and heart knowing that in the end, Ilya will get whatever he wants, and she will be left with nothing but a broken heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense -more adult in nature than angst teenaged dreams.

We are introduced to Ilya’s friends and fellow Bratva ‘brats’-Misha Tsavakova and Lukas Komarov; Tenley’s roommate Princess Charlotte, and Patrick North, as well as several wanna-bes, students, and administration that are controlled by the Russian heirs.

SAVAGE HEIR is a story of power and control, obsession, coercion, blackmail and danger. The fast paced, character driven premise is raw and twisted; the characters are charismatic, startling and impassioned; the romance is dramatic and spirited.

A reader first and foremost, Jagger Cole cut his romance writing teeth penning various fan-fiction stories years ago. After deciding to hang up his writing boots, Jagger worked in advertising pretending to be Don Draper. It worked enough to convince a woman way out of his league to marry him, though, which is a total win.

Now, Dad to two little princesses and King to a Queen, Jagger is thrilled to be back at the keyboard.

When not writing or reading romance books, he can be found woodworking, enjoying good whiskey, and grilling outside–rain or shine.
