•ARC Review• Katie’s Highlander by Maeve Greyson!

Release Date: January 22, 2019

Source: NetGalley

Synopsis

An archaeologist with a zest for life finds herself stranded in small-town North Carolina—with a brooding Highland hunk who’s straight out of ancient Scotland.

Ramsay MacDara wishes the goddesses had left his arse back in the tenth century. That way he never would have met the gold digger who made a fool out of him. A loner at heart, Ramsay is riding his beloved horse through the woods near his family’s North Carolina theme park, Highland Life and Legends, when he hears tires squealing—followed by a thud—and rushes to the scene to help. That’s when he sets his eyes on a pair of long legs sticking out of the moon roof of a car. His interest piqued, the rest of her will soon arouse his greatest desires…and deepest fears.

Archaeologist Katie Jenson is on a six-month sabbatical from her job at Princeton University. Following the death of her beloved father—whose dying request was for Katie to live life to the fullest—she’s headed to a friend’s beach house in North Carolina. But a momentary distraction takes her off the road and on the journey of her life…with a sex god in a kilt at her side. Ramsay’s passion is the stuff of legend—and it just may be Katie’s greatest discovery.

My Thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was such a sweet time travel romance! The goddesses throw Katie in Ramsay’s path and it was so cute! Ramsay isn’t so sure about a new relationship but his destiny says otherwise. They had great chemistry even though they bumped heads! I loved Katie but I hated when she was upset with Ramsay because she decided not to listen to advice given to them in the first place 😩. I loved how confident and lovable Ramsay was once he was comfortable!

I enjoyed the story and thought it flowed well and I’m now interested in reading the first two books!

Gypsy Blood(All The Pretty Monsters book 1) by Kristy Cunning

Synopsis

I’m not all that special, really. Or uncommon. I’m sure there are a lot of girls with old gypsy blood who see the dead, have killer cults hunting their family, and turn into something that gets scary when they panic. Yep. Completely unoriginal, if I do say so myself.

Move along. Nothing to see here. Nope. I’m just an ordinary girl.

I wish people would believe that.

I’ve been labeled as one thing or another for most of my life:

Death Girl.

Crazy Gypsy Girl.

Gothic Chick.

Monster…

It took my mother’s death for me to finally start getting answers about what’s really been going on. Unfortunately, most of the answers come from men…who aren’t just men. Somehow, I’ve gone and landed myself in a world truly filled with monsters, and I’m starting to think this is where I should have been all along.

Only…I don’t understand what’s going on. I’m walking into the middle of a story that’s thousands of years old, and I’m the new girl on the block who doesn’t have a clue how this world even works. My only guides happen to be the most lethal of the bunch.

They decide who lives or dies. They decide who gets stabbed or tortured.

Yeah…

I’ve gone and drawn attention to myself, and the ones paying attention are the ones everyone else seems to fear.

How do these things always happen to me?

**Reverse Harem

**Language warning

**Sexual content

**Dark Humor

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a compelling read. It’s a reverse harem but it’s like they’re kind of enemies but not really lol. Violet takes over her mom’s business after her mysterious death. Violet wants to know more of what’s going on but nobody is really giving her answers or helping her but a ghost she meets names Ace. Ace is really Arion and crazy as heck. Damien, Vance and Emit put him in the ground a while ago due to him being a crazy person. Arion tricks Violet into freeing him and I felt bad because she really wanted to help her other ghost friend not become the answer to they guys curse problems. I can’t wait to read the next book that cliffhanger ending is driving me crazy lol!

Vas

by K. Webster & Ker Dukey
Publication Date: January 7, 2019
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Dark, Mafia, Romance

The Volkov name is one I longed for.
Their household is one I grew up in, but not as an equal—as a maid’s son.
This didn’t stop me from becoming a man to be reckoned with.
But even with my rightful name finally given to me, I still feel adrift.
Until her.

Everything I did was for acceptance.
Everything I lost brought me to my family.
To this life.
To her.

I fought for my status.
I fought for my sisters.
And I will fight to the death for my angel.

She has shown me there is light in our pitch-black world.
That the stars can’t shine without the darkness of night.
She is the stars, and I am the sky in which she shines.

There is evil lurking in the shadows we create.
The corruption and depravities of the First Families have become toxic and are infecting us all from within.
Games have been played, and now, they must end.

I am Vas.
Vocal. Voracious. Vindictive. Volkov.
A devil in love with an angel, and together, we’re going to rule Hell on Earth.

The Vetrov name comes with expectation.
My role in this world is simple: do as Father asks and live my life how he planned it.

My future is already written: run the empire.
Old Values. Old Rule. Old Money.
Until her.

Everything I do lacks purpose.
Everything I do is empty.
Women. Money. Power. It meant nothing.
Until her.

When the Volkov rose showed up at my home a disgraced package, hand-delivered by a Vasiliev prince, I began paving my own path.
I vowed to make her bloom once more.

She consumed me.
Her. Her. Her.

But you can’t love a rose and expect not to be damaged by her thorns.
She cut me too deep.
And I bled out.
My soul fled.
All that’s left is a cold, calculating monster.

I am Veniamin.
Volcanic. Victorious. Valiant. Vetrov.
When you enter my world to play games, prepare to lose.
In the end, I always find the thorn in my side, and I pluck it right out.

About Ker Dukey

My books all tend to be darker romance, edge of you seat, angst filled reads. My advice to my readers when starting one of my titles…prepare for the unexpected.

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters growing up.
My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light; some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

Unscrew Me by Hayley Faiman review!

Synopsis

Thirty-two and single, Presley wants to start over. She’s only going through the motions–just breathing, not living. It isn’t the life she’s always imagined.

She should be married, with a little house and a few children, maybe even a labrador to greet her after a long day of teaching third graders.

Treasurer for the Savage Beast MC, Silver lived life hard. At forty-five he’s seen and done it all–twice.

A single father in need of someone who could love him, and his boy. He’s given up on ever finding a woman who fit him–fit them.

Two people breathing. Two people wanting to be loved. One an outlaw. One an innocent. Two people who could not be more opposite, yet when their worlds collide, so does their chemistry.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this gritty, hot story! Silver and Presley had amazing chemistry. Presley is a good girl and Silver’s son teacher. Silver is the bad boy in a MC. Everyone warns Presley not to get involved with Silver but she can’t help the way he makes her feel. I like that Presley knew what she wanted and wasn’t willing to go without it. Silver was set in his ways but wanted Presley with him and his boy and happy and he’d do anything to keep her with him. If you enjoy an alpha male and good girl then I definitely recommend reading this! I can’t wait to read more from this author!

•ARC Review• Conor by A. Zavarelli!

Title: Conor (Boston Undercover)

Author: A. Zavarelli

Genre: Dark Romance

Release Date:

Ivy

When I stumbled into a mafia run club seeking a job, I was looking for protection. Little did I know I’d need protection from him.

Conor O’ Callahan was exactly the kind of danger I was trying to avoid. He was gorgeous as sin with an accent hotter than Hades, but that’s where the charm ended.

He was also cynical, cold, and downright cranky.

So, you could imagine my surprise when he gave me a proposition. Marry him or lose my life.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve learned to do what’s necessary to survive in this world, and that includes marrying a mobster. Regardless of what he might say, it’s only temporary.

It’s not like I’m going to sleep with him. Or fall for him.

Because that would be stupid, right?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Two people come together…one out of necessity and another trying to do what they feel is right and they end up falling in love. Conor and Ivy were so cute! I enjoyed their story and loved their chemistry! Ivy was running from her past and decided that staying with the Irish mafia was her best chance at surviving. Crow asks Conor to keep an eye on Ivy and Conor feels like he finally has a chance to prove himself. Conor tried to fight his feelings for Ivy but he wasn’t able to fight it for too long. I love this series and I definitely recommend it if you enjoy mafia romances!

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was an adorably cheesy book and I loved every thing about it! Daniel finds out that his marriage license is missing so it’s like he never married Blakely. Daniel’s obsession with his wife will not let this go on for long and he gives her a week to plan their wedding. This was a quick, steamy and cute read and I absolutely love this authors alpha men and their obsession with their women!!!
