Author Bio
Crazy woman
from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a
necessity!), I have been writing since … forever? Yeah, that sounds about
right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball – I also see
shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I’m
clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.
I like dogs
more than I like most people, and I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t drink. No, I
do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the
year, there’s your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair – both a
curse and a blessing – and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can’t
understand me.
Yeah. I
think that about sums me up.

With everything I want. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was just amazing, I couldn’t stop reading! It gave me all the feels!! Gypsy was a con artist and Lucian ends up blackmailing her into marrying him and she can’t figure out why. Lucian had it in his mind to save Gypsy but they ended up saving each other and I loved it! This book is filled with twists that’ll have you wondering what’s going to happen next and I loved every moment! I can’t wait to read the next one!

I walked into my office and found the tall, leggy brunette waiting for me. She wasn’t the only one either. Beside her, Ace played around on his phone while Birdie flipped through a magazine.

 I wasn’t surprised to see her this soon. In all honesty, I’d expected her to show up at my door last night, demanding to have Ace removed from her presence. But it appeared as though they survived the night, just barely.

 “May I have a word with you?” Gypsy asked.

 “You may,” I told her as I checked my watch. “In thirty minutes. When my lunch is finished.”

 Her eyes narrowed, and she planted her hands on her hips as she stood. “You must be joking.”

 “I don’t joke,” I responded flatly.

 She stalked forward, stopping only when she’d breached the narrow distance that few people ever dared to try with me. She was reverting to her baser skills of seduction, but I doubted she even realized it. The instinct came naturally to her, often rewarding her with whatever she wanted, and admittedly, it might have worked on me too once.

 She smelled of coconut oil and sunshine, and it encouraged a vivid image of her lying out on the beach. I could almost bet that if I were to touch her skin, it would be warm too. So warm that it would be easy to get lost in. She probably counted on it, but I was prepared to let Gypsy know from the start how this game would be played. There were only one set of rules, and they were mine.

 “Do you want me to throw a fit?” she threatened as her eyes darted around my office. “Because I will.”

 Now that was funny. My lips tilted despite my resolve to remain dry as toast.

 “Do you think it would be the first time someone threw a fit in here?” I asked her. “I’m sorry to tell you sweetheart, but it wouldn’t.”
“It would probably be the first time someone accused you of holding them hostage in front of your employees.”

 I turned and gestured for her to go ahead.

 “Be my guest.”

 Her lips tightened, and she clamped down on her jaw. After watching her for so long, these unintelligent threats from her were a disappointment. Of course, she wouldn’t make a scene because she had more to lose than I did.

 “Thirty minutes,” I repeated. “I’ll have my secretary call for you when I’m finished.”

 I walked into my office and shut the door behind me.
A. Zavarelli is a book junkie, cat lover, and traveler when plagued by intense cases of wanderlust. She likes all things chocolate, books that come with warnings, and putting her characters through hell. 
Her tales have been known to flirt with darkness and sometimes court it unabashedly altogether. Revenge themes and tortured souls are her favorites to write and this gives her an excuse to watch bizarre and twisted documentaries in her spare time.
She is slightly obsessed with Theo James and funny animal memes. If you don’t mind these things, you should add her on facebook.

Collared By The Badman by Hayley Faiman!

Title: Collared by the Badman
Series: Russian Bratva Series 
Author: Hayley Faiman
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date:
Cover Design: Cassy Roop @ Pink Ink Designs

Sergei Orlov has lived a life of dark corruption. Denying himself any bit of normalcy and happiness as a way to protect his family—of blood or Bratva.


He’s seen as a savior to his men, living in darkness behind closed doors.

Raisa was a girl sold into a life of sexual servitude. Memories of her life before—forgotten. She aspires to be cherished by a man who will forever keep her as his own, never to be sold, abused, or traded again.

A favor asked, turns into something else, something unquestionably beautiful. Sergei cannot deny that Raisa stirs something inside of him. Something that he has never felt before.

One fractured savior. One shattered soul. When the two collide, their lives take on new meaning.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a wonderfully written story! I enjoyed the drama, Bratva and bdsm. Raisa and Sergei were hot! Raisa had a hard life prior to becoming Sergei’s submissive. Sergei is just the right Dom for Raisa, they balanced each other perfectly. If you enjoy romance that’s dark and hot I definitely recommend this book.

I was born and raised in California. My husband and I met when I was just 16. We were married a few years later, moving to Oregon while he was in the US Coast Guard. 

Texas is now where we call home, where our boots rest, and where we’re raising our two little boys and a chocolate lab named Optimus Prime.

Brielle
He consumed my mind. I never even crossed his.
From the moment I met Michael, mysteriously brooding and dressed like a dark
angel, there was something electric between us. Or so I thought.
What I believed was a seductive and undeniably raw attraction has ended up
being something else entirely, something I never foresaw.
Because he’s a skilled liar and a master manipulator, and I downright misread
his intentions.
And now I’m afraid that falling for the man in black might become my biggest
regret.Michael
An overwhelming remorse haunts me after losing my fiancée, but I’m not a man
who can afford to lower my guard.
I’m a ruthless criminal, one of the top members of the merciless mafia, the
Chicago Syndicate, and I moved back home to keep to myself and do a job.
But when a curvaceous pastry chef with a beautiful smile and a possible link to
my former life catches me in a reckless moment, I’m forced to watch her and
strategize a plan.
Because I’m not sure if she’s out to get me or if she’s just an innocent
civilian who doesn’t know that the restaurant she works at is actually a front
to launder Syndicate money.
And I intend to find out if she’s playing me while I’m playing her. But then
the demons that haunt me force me to make a huge mistake…

Deceit has a price—I just have to make sure I don’t pay with her life.

A standalone novel from the Chicago Syndicate world.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was my first book by the author and I really liked it! There are 8 other books in this series and I feel like I need to read them. Or at least Fallon’s story! Brielle and Michael were crazy but I enjoyed their story! They had great chemistry and I loved how Michael always seemed to have Brielle’s safety in mind! Brielle was a clever sweetheart and I loved her! This was a nice read and I’ll be reading more from this series!

•ARC Review• Midnight With The Devil by Emma Castle!

Release Date: August 13

Synopsis

He’s sexy as sin and hotter than hell and—oh wait. What would you do to save a loved one’s life? Make a pact with the Devil? In Diana Kingston’s defense, it was the middle of the night in the deserted hospital chapel… surely it was just a dream. She hadn’t really sold herself to a brooding stranger to save her father’s life, right? Then she wakes and her father is fully recovered and a mysterious letter arrives from the tall, dark, handsome—um, Devil? Yep, it was right there on the contract, Lucien Star, aka Lucifer Morningstar, that had been his name in the dream… Gulp. What would the Devil himself want with her? Sex. Three months of hot, sweaty, Friday night sex. Ooookay. Breaking a pact with the Devil doesn’t seem like a smart move. So she’ll do it—but she won’t like it. Not much anyway. But she starts liking it – a lot—and every night they spend together, she likes it and Lucien a little more. Being with him allows her naughty side to come out and play, but Diana starts to see more than just a sexy-as-sin, rock-hard … er…Anyway, he might be Satan, but even he was an angel once. Kind. Noble. And she sees glimpses of that man still inside him… But how in Heaven’s name do you save the Devil from himself?

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OMG! This book was absolutely amazing! Diana makes a deal with the devil(Lucien) to save her fathers life. They end up falling in love and it is just the sweetest thing ever! The ending had me in happy tears I’m so glad Lucien and Diana got their happy ever after! I definitely recommend this book!

Saint Or Sinner by Cynthia Eden Review!

Synopsis

Beware of Beauty…because she’s got the heart of a real beast.

Smart people—and monsters who know the score—fear Josephine Saint. The sexy vampire might appear to be a sensual temptation, but she’s a cold-blooded assassin. Mercy? Jo doesn’t know the meaning of the word. With each successful hunt, Jo slides one step closer to getting the promised prize that she’s coveted—her freedom. Long ago, Josephine made a deal with the devil, and now, the jerk is collecting on the final payment due him.

Find the angel…before he rips the world apart.

Her latest target is Malik, an angel who has gone dark. The fool fell and crashed hard to earth, and now he’s indulging in every sin he can find. And, bonus, the guy has every predator in the land closing in on him because angel wings are highly prized on the black magic market. It’s Jo’s job to find Malik and bring his sexy angel ass back upstairs except…

The angel is already changing…into something new and something very, very deadly.

Malik has his own mission, and it doesn’t involve being dragged back to heaven. He’s ready to lose his wings, ready to pay any price, if it means he can right a wrong from his past. He never expected for Jo to hunt him, and he knows that he won’t be able to control himself when she’s near. Because Jo—fierce vampire, deadly assassin—she’s his charge. He’s been watching over her for centuries. Watching her, and wanting her. Now that he’s earthbound, Malik can finally make the vamp his.

Can a vamp save the world? Maybe…if she can claim a fallen angel’s heart.

With every moment that Malik spends on earth, the darkness within him grows. When angels fall, they change. They become something new—and a firestorm is about to erupt from Malik. When the fire erupts, it will destroy everything and everyone in its path…His only link to sanity is Jo, and if he loses her…Malik may lose his very soul.

The hellfire is coming, and it will rage. SAINT OR SINNER…what will you be?

Malik…a fallen angel with an obsession

Josephine…a vampire and unwilling assassin for Luke

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Luke strikes again he always has his hand in something no matter if he’s in charge of light or dark! He’s the best matchmaker ever😂 I loved this book and this series! I loved Malik and Josephine! This book is wonderfully written and kept me laughing and intrigued until the very end!

King’s Wrath & King’s Reign by Nina Levine Review!

Synopsis

Finally meet the enigma that is King.

Our love wasn’t like everyone else’s.

There wasn’t a first date or flowers and gifts.

We didn’t have a song or cute nicknames for each other.

There were no calls during the day to check in with me, no coming home to cook me dinner, and no foot massages at the end of a long day.

That wasn’t how he loved.

But love me he did.

Madly, deeply, passionately, completely.

King loved with everything he had.

He just loved a little differently to most.

This is King’s story. From the beginning. All the ugly and all the beautiful, by the end of this duet you will come to understand the man behind the club.

King’s story will be told over two books – King’s Wrath & King’s Reign..

*This series can be enjoyed without reading the original Storm MC Series*

Synopsis

The epic conclusion to King’s story.

I was chasing pure darkness.

Succumbing to the needs I’d forced to the far edges of my soul.

Running like a madman towards evil.

Then I found her.

She breathed life into me when I hadn’t thought there was any life beyond what I knew.

She gave me hope after I’d forgotten what it was.

She helped quiet the demons raging deep inside me.

Now I will lay myself bare for her.

I will bleed for her.

I will love her madly, deeply, passionately, completely.

This is the conclusion to King’s story. All the ugly and all the beautiful, by the end of this duet you will come to understand the man behind the club.

King’s story is told over two books – King’s Wrath & King’s Reign.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m glad I waited so I could binge read this duet! King….love him or hate him you couldn’t deny he was always looking out for his family… he just has a dominant way of going about it. King was a jerk but it was just something about Ivy I didn’t like. I was ecstatic when Lily came into the picture! The first book just had me ready to find out what’s coming next!

I was so sad when I had to stop reading to work😩 these books have total badass alpha males that I love, drama and angst. I loved the second book even more than the first because I got more Lily! I loved Lily and King together. He’s all dark and she’s all sweet their chemistry was amazing! I couldn’t get enough of those two! I still didn’t like Ivy and I just knew for sure she had more to do with the issues the M.C. was having. King’s story was absolutely amazing but if you’re not into moody and gruff alpha men this may not be for you but if you’re ok with that type of man then you definitely need to read this!

I gasped for air and counted my last breaths.

One, pain shot up my stomach.

Two, my throat burned.

I kept looking at the sky, as I lost any will to move.

Before my eyes closed, my last thoughts were for Andrea.

They thought prison would change me, that isolation would make me weak, maybe break me. But I wasn’t alone, I always had the darkness with me.

My name is Alejandro De la Crux and I never let anyone cross me without paying the price, their lives for my honour.

I was left to rot in prison by my ex wife and her lover, The Killer. That Rat.

They thought they could run away from me, that they could live happily ever after. No one can fool the devil, no one can fool Alejandro De la Crux.

“Patience, revenge takes time. But it will come, my time will come..

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The book was so well written I couldn’t stop reading!! Okay, so you have to read Skins first to fully appreciate and understand Scars! After Skins I was afraid to read Scars because I just knew it was going to be an intensely emotional one! It so was but I enjoyed it! I just love Sebastian and Andrea’s story! And Alejandro’s obsession was so insane! I can’t deny he was a great villain though😂
