ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 3, 2024

I always knew I would die young, so being left to bleed out on a warehouse floor is no shock to me.

But as the blood seeps from my body, my thoughts aren’t of the Marcosa empire I’ve ruled for years, or the city I’ve given everything to protect.

It’s on the three men who’ve stood by my side:

Greyson: my soul, my foundation. So hard and reserved, showing emotion only to me.

Dominic: my heart, my first love. He’s a dreamer but can wreck me in the best ways possible.

Nate: my comfort, my peace. He soothes and calms me even though I’ve only known him a short time.

My enemies have done their best to destroy me, and now it’s up to my men to piece me back together.

They will do anything to make that happen. But they can’t protect me from the threat none of us ever saw coming…

••••

REVIEW: DAMAGED KINGDOM is the second in instalment in MJ Crouch’s contemporary, adult GILDED EMPIRE dark, erotic, reverse harem, organized crime romance series focusing on on Mariana Marcosa, queen of the Marcosa empire, and the three men who will control her heart: Greyson Andrews, Dominic, and Nate Black. DAMAGED KINGDOM should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book one BROKEN CROWN.

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

Told from four first person perspectives (Mari, Grey, Dominic, Nate) DAMAGED KINGDOM follows in the wake of an attempt on our heroine’s life. Mari Marcosa is the queen of the criminal underworld but there are some who would prefer a man at the top. Targeted for her position and power, Mari finds herself facing down an enemy she barely knows but along with the three men whom she loves Greyson, Dominic and Nate, Marie is a force unto herself but as the hits against Mari and the men continue, betrayal will come from within, forcing Mari to reconsider the future going forward.

The world building is detailed and gritty. Mari is a woman in charge; a woman on a mission who loves and is loved but one of her father’s former men is taking aim at the top, and Mari refuses to step aside for someone else.

The relationship between Mari and Grey, Dominic and Nate is a reverse harem affair. Mari continues to struggle with a perceived betrayal from Dominic but forgiveness will come easy when the heart wants something more. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative,often in pairs or sometimes all four.

The secondary and supporting characters are numerous and powerful including the heads of several crime organizations and their families. Cassius ‘Cash’ Beckstrom is taking aim at the top but Cash has a secret, one that is about to destroy our story line heroine, and the men whom she loves.

DAMAGED KINGDOM is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, greed and jealousy,family and relationships. The premise is dark and dramatic; the romances are seductive and erotic; the characters are desperate, progressive and charismatic. DAMAGED KINGDOM ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 19, 2024

If you’re looking for Eli’s happy ever after, you’re in the right place!

Lyra’s life hasn’t been all sunshine and roses, she knows what it means to be alone after losing her parents at a young age. Witnessing the devastation her mother experienced after losing her bonded Alphas made one thing clear to Lyra. Scent matching isn’t for her.

No archaic rules or a fluke of biology is going to tell her who to love. Not now and not ever. Friendship, compatibility, and hard work are the best way to find people to spend your life with. But all of it means nothing when her pack meets their scent matched Omega. Suddenly Lyra wasn’t wanted. Thrown out of their lives and completely alone, Lyra is forced to start over—again.

When a job offer in a city where no one knows her name seems too perfect to be true, Lyra jumps on it. Really, who would turn down the chance to be an executive assistant at one of the most powerful companies in the country. Getting away from the pack who broke her heart was just an added bonus.

But her first encounter with the person she’d been hired to work for doesn’t go as planned. Her new boss… is one of her Alpha scent matches. This brings Lyra face to face with the past she’s been running from her entire life. The more she lets them in, the more Lyra realizes she might be wrong—wrong about everything.

Maybe scent matches aren’t just a fluke. Maybe they’re the only thing that matters.

•••••••••

REVIEW:I haven’t read the first two books in this series, and I don’t think I missed much, (they are about a different set of characters, but Eli is in books one and two) but at some point I’m going back to read them.

Mental health issues can sometimes be glossed over or dramatised. In this book we get it done right.

Lyra really doesn’t know what to do next! Her pack doesn’t want her, she can’t go back to her parents (sadly they died when she was young!) and watching her mother lose the will to live (she lost her mates) so when offered a job in a different town, Lyra takes it.

Let’s meet the rest of the characters….

Eli (Alpha) bonded to Lyra and now looking at a new pack to bond with…. He owns the company Lyra started to work for. And apparently he was in the last two books (definitely a reason to go look)

Tanner (Alpha) bonded to Fawn and Zachary (been with Zak a few years before adding more to the pack)

Fawn (Omega) bonded to Tanner/Pascal and Zachary, he’s Scent matched with Eli and now Lyra…

Zachary (Alpha) is the teddy bear of the family.

Pascal (Alpha) and oldest in the already established pack, bonded but doesn’t have a physical relationship with any of the members (until Lyra)

I loved how they all interacted with one another, and all the nicknames that are given (Sweet Pickle King is a favourite, I did chuckle when first given to the character

Being with a scent matched omega is a gift as far as an Alpha is concerned, but to be given two omegas and a new pack is more than most Alphas dream about. There is a period of adjustment for everyone, and miscommunication almost ends the bonding before it even begins!
Taking it slow and steady as to not trigger Lyra (she has PTSD from her traumatic childhood experience) they are all so patient with her. And they all know about traumatic pasts, each alpha and omega have been through their own experiences (stripper/changing careers through injury, to name but a few)

Wasn’t expecting the cliffhanger…. Maybe if I’d read book one and two I might have been prepared 😆(they aren’t tied to this book) and now I have to wait patiently to find out what happens next.

I really like this author and the books she writes. there is a lot going on in this book, it touches on quite a few topics (so check the trigger warnings) A highly recommended read if you love your Omegaverse books.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 19, 2024

Becoming queen of the Marcosa mafia empire was never what I wanted. Yet nobody gave me a choice.

Rule or die.

For six years I’ve learned to become ruthless, strategic, and deadly in order to survive. But a new enemy is determined to rip me apart. All I can do is watch as my world crumbles at my feet. Until three ruthlessly possessive—and protective—men change everything.

They’ll burn the world to the ground to keep me safe.

REVIEW:BROKEN CROWN is the first instalment in MJ Crouch’s (Janie Crouch) contemporary, adult GILDED EMPIRE dark, reverse harem, organized crime romance series focusing on Mariana Marcosa, queen of the Marcosa empire, and the three men who will control her heart: Greyson Andrews, Dominic, and Nate Black.

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

Told from four first person perspectives (Mari, Grey, Dominic, Nate) BROKEN CROWN introduces the players in a war for power and control. In the wake of her father and her beloved brother’s murders, Mariana Marcosa ascended the throne of the Marcosa Crime empire. With her best friend Greyson Andrews, as her protector and bodyguard, Mariana set about to rebuild and remodel starting with the grand opening of a new speakeasy named The Gilded but a power struggle was on the horizon, and with the return of Dominic, Mari’s new underboss, and a rescue by Nate Black, Mari would have to confront a new enemy in the guise of Cassius “Cash” Beckstrom, and his group known as the Aces. Having kept Greyson at a distance, and Dominic’s determination to reclaim what once was, Mari is about to face her greatest fears when the men in her life become targets of a mad man demanding everything and more. Always one step ahead, Cash is about to set Mari’s world on fire.

The world building sets the groundwork for war. Death and destruction, fires, bombings, shootouts and thefts, are but a few of the trappings facing Mari and the men with whom she is falling in love but betrayal from within finds Mari facing her own mortality, and the loss of the men in her life.

The relationship between Mari and Greyson has moved beyond friends and protector to lovers; with Dominic back to usurp his position, both men are willing to share the heart of the woman they love but Nate’s arrival adds another layer of possibilities, a possibility that has yet to take shape beyond a small spark of attraction. The lone $ex scenes is passionate.

BROKEN CROWN is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and obsession. The slow building premise is intriguing and dramatic; the characters are determined, dynamic and powerful; the romance is seductive but the back and forth is frustrating. BROKEN CROWN ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 28, 2024

What do you do when your sister’s getting married and your ex is the best man?

Being dumped sucks. Being dumped after four years and getting kicked out of the house? That sucks more.

Sadly, I can’t avoid him forever. Not when he’s the best man in my sister’s wedding. But like hell am I facing him alone.
So how can a painfully single Omega get out of this mess? Not a clue, but I’ll tell you what not to do. Ready?

Don’t hire a pack of male escorts to take you to the wedding. If you do, you can’t sleep with them. No matter how incredible they smell or how well they treat you.

Definitely don’t let them take care of you, and don’t let them show you pleasure you’ve never had before.

And you absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, fall in love with them. They’re not yours.

Because when everything is said and done, this is just pretend… right?

•••••

REVIEW:Yay a new series by one of my favourite Omegaverse writers.

Endless is a tried and tested plot. You know how it’s going to end (fingers crossed) but with this author the ride is never smooth, it’s full of bumps and issues that will need sorting if they all want a HEA.

Isolde is a graphic designer or was! After being “thrown away” but her boyfriend of four years. Isolde is now drifting and doing bar work! But a family wedding is pulling her back home. Her best friend convinces her to “hire” a pack. It will create a barrier between her ex (who is best man!) and any unwanted attention coming home many cause. What Isolde doesn’t count on are the men that pick her up from the airport……

Rowan, Hawk, Vaughn, Cade and Joel are the St. James pack. Hired initially as a fake pack for Isolde. But that goes out of the window once they “smell” her! (I love the idea of knowing your mate by the smell of them) only it’s one sided as Omegas don’t scent match until they hit their heat. So the St. James pack have to suck it up and “pretend” to like their client when in fact they just want to take her back to their home and show her the nest

I liked how each MMC brought something different to the table. It also seemed to blend in and help Isolde with her self doubts. The one thing that did frustrate me a little was her indecisions and doubts! They put the brakes on her being completely in the moment, always worrying what her ex would think! But her ex had moved on rather quickly (hence why she needed the pack for this assignment)

It’s the start of a new series (three I think) so her two best friends will get a book and a pack each ?

It’s not quite a slow burn book, as Isolde decides on changing her mind about the no s€x clause in the contract they all sign. But she is convinced that it’s only for the three weeks she’s here.

Ex Beau is also on the scene, and that makes the packs job harder to show her that they want her for more than the three weeks…. I didn’t like Beau at all and was glad he got all he deserved by the end of the book.

So if you like the Omegaverse then give this book a go.

Now I just have to wait for the next book. Please be soon. ?

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 15, 2024

I’m the Director of Haven, a newly established sanctuary for all the misused and mistreated humans that The Harem Project recovers from the Division of Silence. I have my hands full, trying to save as many lives as I can.

Then a chance meeting has me virtually running into the men that hold a piece of my heavenly soul and my world shifts. My sense of duty pulls me to focus on Haven, but my instincts insist I make these men mine.

Finding balance isn’t easy, but somehow I manage to find peace in both the professional and personal aspects of my life. I can do this. I can do good and make my home with these divine men.

My name is Tatum and I just joined an all out war with a family whose power is such a threat to the monsters of Silence that we’re nearly number one on their hit list. Instead of waiting for them to target our family, we just jumped into the massacre happening before us.

••••••

REVIEW:There were so many things happening and character crossovers in this book that I think it would be helpful to read the series in order.

There are a couple of triggers you need to aware of, so my advice is check the warnings for jumping in…..

This book is all about Tatum and her relationship with the Malak family. (It’s been the one I’ve wanted to read for a while, they have been mentioned a few times in previous books.)

Whilst learning about the men that will soon become her husbands, she is also working at The Harem Project. She’s working in the facility called Haven, and is on a project for the orphaned children that have lost family through the fight against The Silence and ORKA. (See, I told you there was lots going on.) She’s also looking after the women who were taken and impregnated and children who are the result of those unwanted pregnancies!

Tobiel/Aden/Cobalt/Hawthorn/Lazarus/Hadrian/Rahael are an established family, but they still long for their wife. And when Tobiel meets her, he wants to take her back to his home and introduce her to the rest of the family. But bumping into briefly and then not being able to find his angel (yes she’s an actual archangel) is frustrating Toby. And to make things worse, his husbands don’t seem to be in a rush to find her!

But when he finally meets her, it’s full steam ahead with the courtship ? he’s certain Tatum is the one. And Tatum is definitely interested in getting to know the Malak family.

In this book you also get a few questions answered from previous books. It really starts to come together.

The Silence and ORKA have been increasing their attacks on the families we’ve read about, but it’s the Division of Silence that have taken a darker turn! Using women and children in their fight to win against the “houses” and the “monsters” that live in this world! When I’m fact they are the monsters!

I don’t think it’s a smexy as previous books in the series, I got the feeling we are focusing on the storyline. It’s more of a slow burn this time and again as there are so many characters in this family (seven established if I remember correctly) pages seem to focus mainly on Tatum/Tobiel (which can be a blessing at times ?) but we get to meet and interact with the whole Malak family.

So when The Silence coordinates an attack on the families, will they be able to protect themselves and the children? Will they be able to fight back?

There is betrayal. Plot twists and catching up with previous houses. I really did enjoy reading this one.

Highly recommend you read in order then this one.

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…

When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 31, 2024

The Devil owns Reaper’s Vale.
He’s the president of a notorious motorcycle club that rules with an iron fist.
No one dares to stand in his way. Until I do.
Three merciless bikers show up at my workplace and demand answers.
They think my family stole from them.
We didn’t, and I won’t be bullied.
When I’m taken prisoner as collateral and held against my will, I swear I’ll find a way to escape.
I’ve heard the rumors about this club.
Ruthless men on their steel beasts who ride through the vale without reprisal.
Liars. Murderers. Thieves. Some worship them. Others fear them.

I expected to lose my freedom, just not . . . my heart.
And now it’s too late.
My past collides with the present, revealing shocking secrets and endangering the ones I love.
I’ll do whatever it takes to survive, even if that means betraying the bikers I no longer hate.
My twisted need for justice won’t be silenced.
I’m going to burn every tainted memory along with the bastards that hurt me.
But my iron riders won’t let me fight alone.
They’re willing to risk war, their club, and their hearts to ensure our enemies go to ground and nothing is left but ashes.

TWISTED IRON is a reverse harem, why choose, dark, motorcycle club romance with one feisty, bada** heroine, her three dirty-talkin’, twisted outlaws, and a romantic, suspenseful, slightly paranormal adventure. This wild ride contains cursing, violence, sexual situations, torture/revenge, and adult themes that may be triggering for some readers. It is a crossover novel set in the Royal Bastards MC Tonopah/Las Vegas, NV world.

•••••••

REVIEW:TWISTED IRON by Nikki Landis is a contemporary, adult,reverse harem, dark, paranormal, MC romance story line -a crossover with the RBMC Tonopah, and RBMC Las Vegas series. TWISTED IRON is the introduction to Henry and Raiden, Reaper and Devil’s story.

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

TWISTED IRON was originally released as JUSTIFIED in 2022, but has been re-written, revised and expanded for a new audience.

Told from four first person perspectives (Henny, Raiden, Reaper and Devil) TWISTED IRON focuses on the take down of a cult, a child trafficking ring. When the RBMC come looking for information, Henriette aka Henny will offer herself up a collateral, in the hopes her friend will hand the information to the RBMC but days together find Henny falling for her captors, three men with special abilities, and powers she could not have imagined. What ensues is the building and aggressive relationship between Henny and Raiden, Reaper and Devil, and the potential fall-out as Henny is targeted by the demons from her past.

The world building focuses on the search for information, and the take down of the cult / Order known as The Sect of Primordial Light. Not only do several members of the RBMC have dark memories but so too does our story line heroine.

The relationship between Henny and the men begins as a sacrifice, of sorts. The men are looking for a package, information about the who, how and why, but when no one is willing to reveal the truth, Henny offers herself up as prisoner in exchange for the life of her friend. Within day, Henny realizes the trio are more than your average men but men with special abilities that she is learning to see through. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense but there are no scenes with all four together.

The secondary and supporting characters include several member of both the RBMC Tonopah, and Las Vegas chapter, as well as Henny’s friend Amelia. The requisite evil has many faces.

TWISTED IRON is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance, love and the supernatural. The premise is dramatic and dark; the characters are powerful yet broken; the romance is desperate and gritty. TWISTED IRON ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Three angels. One assassin. She’s fighting for her life, but they’re fighting for her heart.

I was born for two things: To kill, and to be a queen.

Trained as an assassin since birth, I’ve destroyed Hell’s enemies one by one. Now my throne is so close I can taste it.

One more assignment. One more seduction. One trail of broken bodies to lead me to my crown.

Three archangels can’t be that hard to kill, right?

Turns out, I’ve never been more wrong.

And this mistake? It will cost me everything.

••••••

REVIEW:I’ve not read the original version, so I have nothing to compare it with. But I do like the authors other series (based in an Omegaverse)

This is a why choose book and three book series. I’m aware of the cliffhanger, and I know my triggers…..

Queen of Darkness starts at a fast pace and continues at that pace till the cliffhanger ending….

The main character, Arielle has had such a terrible past and her present isn’t all that great either!! She’s been attacked physically and mentally and remodeled into a role that her father wanted her to be…

Arielle is a vessel for the infernal flame which is potentially the next ruler of the underworld! But it’s not an easy throne to obtain, task after task is thrown at Arielle, and she completes each and every one. Arielle doesn’t enjoy her tasks of killing, but the alternative doesn’t bear thinking about!

And now she’s been assigned the job of killing three archangels, she knows she’s good at her job, so she’s confident it won’t be hard…. So technically she’s on the side of evil? She has to kill to survive (does that make her bad?)

Cassian is an archangel, not sure why he’s in hell. And to be honest, he’s not my favourite character, he was hard to get to know. He taught Arielle to fight, he’s trained her hard, but there are feelings between them, both want more, but both understand they can’t have that! Malakai (Kai) Atlas and Solomon are known as the Trinity. And are on the side of good.

I liked the concept of this book. If angels fall they usually have turned evil, but not in this book. The struggle they face makes you want to read more of them and I couldn’t put the book down until I finished it.

Arielle really struggles with choosing the deaths of Solomon/Atlas/Kai or having the thing she most wants. You want her to choose the three archangels, but you’ve also watched her become more, so I wanted her to have both. But how do you choose between something that you have worked towards your entire life and the freedom that you’ve always wanted, or to finally be seen as the person you are and be loved.

What will be the consequences for choosing one over the other?

Highly recommend this book. And now I’m off to find the next book.

Oh…. And the cliffhanger…. That I did not see coming!!! ?

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

She sacrificed everything to save them. Now they’ll risk it all to save her.

Betrayal has consequences, and the price is my life.

Tortured every day for my betrayal, I’d choose it again if it meant the angels I love are safe. No matter the cost.

I don’t deserve their rescue, but my angels come for me anyway, risking the entire world to save my life.

Even though I’m free, Hell will never stop hunting me, and never stop trying to destroy Heaven. We have to end this.

But ending the war means going back to Hell once again, and this time, I may never come back.

••••••

REVIEW:If you thought the first book was good, then be prepared to be blown away by the next one.

You definitely need to read the first book Queen of Darkness before reading this one….

I’ll try not to give anything away, but this book does carry on from the first. Characters roles are fleshed out and we are given more details about the trinity, Arielle and Cassian.

The action doesn’t stop, and it was hard putting down. There is betrayal/passion and a few twists.

It shows us that good people can do bad things and vice versa. Arielle might have been brought up bad, but that doesn’t mean she wants to continue being bad!

I thought Arielle was a great character, she’s being constantly bombarded and bullied. But she refuses to become the weapon her father wants her to be….

I liked how Solomon/Atlas/Kai sought to forgive her and show her it was ok to want more. They are there for her, and that’s why it’s so hard for her to forgive herself and the actions she chose in the previous book.

I can’t wait to see where the third and final book takes us.

Queen of Annihilation

by Devyn Sinclair
Re-Release Date: January 1, 2024

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

They gave up everything for each other. Now they’ll give up everything to save the world.

I tried to end the war and failed.

Hell has a new queen. One obsessed with ending my life and the lives of my lovers. She will stop at nothing.

My angels and I are on the run, and nowhere is safe to hide. But the fate of the world is in our hands.

We unleashed Hell, and have no other choice but to destroy it.

I am the only one who can.

We have one last chance to defeat our enemies, or face our own annihilation.

••••••

REVIEW: With this being the third and final book in the trilogy, I was keen to see how it would play out. You definitely need to read the books in order before getting to this one.

Nissa (who is Arielle’s sister) now rule’s Hell! How did that happen? (You’ll need to read books one and two) and she’s out to end her sister and the men she’s fallen in love with!

All pieces fall into place and we get answers to questions I had in books one and two. But I did wonder if Arielle could win against her sister ?

The battle for good against evil was really well balanced. But the author never loses sight of the balancing battles with the plot. We get both written really well.

I liked that Arielle doesn’t immediately forgive and forget her past indiscretions, she battles with her conscience throughout the book. And even if the men she is now with have forgiven her, it’s not an easy thing for her to do!

So, the final battle with Nissa. Which way will it go? Will Arielle still choose the right side? Will the Trinity finally bond with her?

I’ve loved all three of these books, but I have to admit this is my favourite.

So if you like your heroine with a battle on her hands and the love of more than one male ? then this trilogy is for you.

A highly recommended read ??

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 4, 2024

I thought I knew where I belonged. That I had found my happily ever after. Looking back, I was really just blissfully unaware of how unhealthy my family was.

Now I’m wandering the world, trying to find my place. Trying to heal my broken heart from a fate that no one could have predicted. The crushing blow was served to me by those who were supposed to love and support me for the rest of my life. That was the promise.

In the place I least expect it, I find solace. Companionship. And a fear so chilling, I’m frozen in place as everything is once again ripped from my hands.

My name is Iskander. All I want is to save the people who have claimed my fractured heart before it breaks for a second and final time.

REVIEW: Can’t think of a better way than starting my new year with one of my favourite author’s.

This book can be read on its own, but I’d recommend read at least the previous book. But as this this a great series why not start from the beginning…..

After meeting and falling for someone, for his family to reject him (and showing their true colours) Iskander is now on a journey to find not only himself, but answers to questions, and to maybe find a family that want him no matter…

This series is continually evolving and I love it. Yes it’s a #whychoose story, but it doesn’t revolve around just one person finding their pack, it’s got relationships within the family. It’s also heavy on MM (which I like) which I think this author has found her niche ?

Whilst travelling Iskander find families that are happy, and are happy to chat to Iskander, which compounds his belief that he did the right thing in leaving his family. And when he thinks he’s going to grow old alone, he meets the Kallan family. They show him the real meaning of family. Can he really trust his feelings? And what will he do when his new family disappears?

I just love this series, just when you think we can’t go any further, the author proves us wrong. The secret society OKRA are proving to be a vile and underhanded society, the things they’ve done to bring down the monsters (the only true monsters are the society itself!) The story tells of not settling for second best, to hold out for the happiness your deserved. And family doesn’t always mean blood.

It’s great that the houses in previous books are here to help. But can Iskander find his new family before the society claim another family?

It’s a highly recommended read from me. And if you haven’t read the previous books in the series, what are you waiting for?

Copy supplied for review

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…

When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!
