GOODREADS

Finley-
I walked away from him and never looked back or gave Brennen any justified rhyme or reason for leaving. I thought about him over the years. Was he happily married with children and living life to the fullest?

I shouldn’t have broken up with him. Brennen meant everything to me. Yet, at that time in my life, my family needed me more. Now, I was in the same town as Bren and stuck in a situation I desperately wanted out of.

My life was a disaster and I had failed in more ways than I could count on two hands.

Would Brennen be my knight that I needed him to be? Could I confide in him the most ultimate secret that I had been hiding for over a year?

Holy Mother Of Moses this book is FREAKING EPIC. The 7th book in the Dark Sovereign series went beyond my expectations.

I had to run.

It was that, or marry a man my father auctioned me to when I was a little girl.
I knew my father wouldn’t make it easy, but color me surprised when he sends Caelian Del Rossa to find me.
The man is a menace.
Arrogant.
Infuriating.
Enigmatic.
He thinks he’s my knight in shining armor.
I’m convinced he’s nothing more than my father’s retriever.
Turns out my father asked the Dark Sovereign for help to get him out of the deal and me out of the marriage from hell.
Their solution?
Marry Caelian instead.
Granted, like me, he’s not exactly thrilled about it. But he’s a Del Rossa.
Loyalty runs in his veins. He’ll do what’s expected of him.
But I’m not a puppet. I can’t be controlled or manipulated.
No smoldering looks or electrifying touches are going to tame me.
And definitely not that one little thing that seems to set every nerve in my body on fire.
The one thing that makes Caelian so dangerously seductive.
The hunt.

PreOrder Blitz: Their Hell by H.L. Packer

Title: Their Hell
Series: Pendleton Prep, Book 3
Author: H.L. Packer
Genre/Tropes: secret society, dark romance with poly relationship
Release Date: May 8, 2024

I should have listened.
I knew deep in my bones that coming to Pendleton Prep was a mistake. Not that it was ever my choice.
I was handed over to a bunch of Devils, both literally and figuratively, and left floundering in a game full of rules I didn’t and still don’t understand.
The problem is that I refused to remain the prey, and I didn’t stay meek and obedient, no matter how hard they tried to keep me that way.
They took way more than they were due, and the same Devils they once planned to use to control me are now mine to direct. Still sworn to protect, to manipulate, and to avenge, but for our future together, not theirs.
What happens when the tables turn on the unknown enemy? We’re about to find out. Consequences be damned.


H.L Packer is, quite frankly, a busy bee.

An avid reader as a child, her love for all things written waned into adulthood, the excitement of real life things taking over. But when her life slowed down as she finished her office job for maternity leave, her husband purchased her an e-reader, and that obsession was rekindled.

Quickly she went from reader to reviewer, and then from reviewer to blogger; street teams and promo tours galore. When she began collating her own book boxes over at Romance Readers Book Box UK and had the opportunity to include her own words and worlds, the characters began talking.

Those cheeky characters quickly found themselves written down on the page, and her first series was in progress.

When she is not coordinating her worlds, you can find her running around after her free-spirited three children, and husband, or tending to the dogs, bearded dragons, and snakes that also reside with them.

A break can be found soaking in a bubble bath or enjoying a glass of wine, often still with a book in her hand.

So what if he’s the new president of Hell’s Bells MC? He disappeared without a word, leaving me brokenhearted. I don’t care that he’s back to rule our town and exact his revenge against the notorious Knight’s Legion MC.
Even if I did want Rocky with every cell in my body, it’s far too late for us. He betrayed our love. And so have I. When the club’s vice president, Vegas, offered me protection and a job, I accepted. Now that Rocky has returned, Vegas wants me for himself.
With Vegas as his number one enemy and the Knights as his very unlikely allies, none of us know what to expect from Rocky next. Will I be the future queen of the Hell’s Bells MC? Only if he doesn’t burn it to the ground.

EXCERPT

“Save the child…please,” the witch pleaded.

Roman glanced over his shoulder at the tiny lifeless form a foot away. Spending precious time attending to the small girl would be fruitless. As he leaned in, the woman’s eyes flared as she sniffed him. Roman slipped his arm around her back, but she shoved him, swinging her arm out at an angle, slashing his face and drawing blood. Shit, he should’ve known the knuckle dusters were more than mere decoration. Grabbing her wrist, he dragged off the two rings, the blades now visible, and slipped them inside his pocket.

“Stop fighting me…I’m trying to help you.” He lifted her closer, but like a contortionist, the witch twisted and bent to the side, removing a thin, long knife from her ankle strap, which she waved at him, smiling.

“You’re a bloodthirsty monster…”

If he had a penny for every time he heard that. Cocking his head, Roman peered at the firecracker who didn’t know when to quit.

“Hm, not thirsty, I’ve already had my share of fresh virgins today, but I suppose…I could make an exception,” Roman said.

“Argh!” she shouted, raising the steel knife, ready to stab him.

But he caught it between his hands and threw it away, where it landed in the nearest tree. Perhaps the witch was not as wounded as he thought, and he reexamined the mortal, who continued to thump his chest.

“I hope you choke on my blood…” she spat.
