My thoughts 💭

I liked this book. Drucilla is destined to become the queen and other monster families want their sons to lead. Drucilla was just trying to reconnect with her childhood friends but some of them were determined to run her off. The guys eventually do run her off and it breaks her heart. They did it to protect her since someone was trying to kill her. I can’t wait to read what’s next!

GUN MOLL

by Bethany-Kris & Erin Ashley Tanner
Gun Moll, #1
Publication Date: May 23, 2016
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Organized Crime, Mafia, Romance, Interracial Romance

SYNOPSIS

James “Mac” Maccari’s career in the mafia is at a standstill. As the best solider in his Capo’s crew, all he wants is to be noticed enough to get Made in the Pivetti Crime Family. But instead, his Capo’s interests seem more focused on keeping his solider hidden from the boss, and every other Made man he can. Seemingly stuck right where he is with no chance of going up, Mac doesn’t know what will finally get him the attention he needs to earn his button.

Until she shows up and all eyes are on them …

Melina Morgan survives—that’s just what she does. She’s never been able to depend on anyone but herself to keep her safe and get things done. When a chance encounter puts her in a bad situation with the cops and the mafia, Melina has no choice but to put her faith in the hands of a man that not only infuriates her with his cocky arrogance, but catches her interest, too. Playing pretend in a fake relationship with Mac doesn’t seem all that terrible, until pretend turns real and bullets start to fly.

A man is nothing without his woman …

When the attention on Mac and Melina turns from bad to worse, and someone in the Pivetti Crime Family decides the couple needs to go, they know they’re fighting an uphill battle alone. But making it to the end alive means Mac could get what he’s always wanted, and Melina might find what she didn’t even know she needed.

Together, they’ll make waves the mafia has no choice but to notice …

Release Blitz: King Of Shadows by Amelia Wilde

Title: King of Shadows
Author: Amelia Wilde
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 27, 2020
Blurb
Luther Hades has
always been my family’s sworn enemy. He’s the opposite of everything we stand
for—ruthless to the core. 

I’m not afraid of
him. It’s my mother who cowers and hides. All my life, she’s hidden me from
him. Hidden me from the world. Not anymore.

I’ve planned my
escape down to the last detail. But two steps outside the safety of my mother’s
house, the devil comes calling. And nobody hears me scream.

*****

Little Sepphie
Anthela doesn’t know she’s in danger. That her fool of a lover has betrayed
her. That her adorable plan is a death sentence.

She doesn’t know how
men look at her.

And she doesn’t know
the lengths I’m willing to go to protect her. She’ll be safe in my underground
kingdom—even if it kills me.

KING OF SHADOWS is a
dirty and dark contemporary retelling of Hades & Persephone. It’s the
underworld, after all.

Excerpt

“Are you going to
kill me now?”

My men step up
behind her, but she doesn’t dare turn her head. Two of them hook their arms
under Decker’s and drag him past us, giving us a wide berth. Her eyes follow
his slumped body. The man won’t shut up. All the groaning, the whining—fucking
pathetic. 

“You said you would
do anything to save him. That was your bargain. Are you telling me you’d rather
be dead?”

A flicker of fear is
chased off her face by a nameless expression, a light flaring in her eyes. She
glances down at Conor, the whites of her eyes glowing in the moonlight. “No,”
she whispers. “I want to live.” 

I lean in close,
bending down so my lips are level with my ear. Her heart beats hard under my
fingertips. She smells sweet, like roses and sunshine and something unique to
her. It must be the fresh softness of her. Fuck, the things I’m going to do to
her, dangling her not-boyfriend on a string as if she’ll ever be anything but
mine. The urge to throw her down into the dirt is so strong it almost overtakes
me, but now that all this has transpired, it’s best for the train to move on.
I’m no longer interested in dealing with Demeter tonight—not now that I have
her daughter for my very own.

The poor thing.

“We’ll see how long
that lasts.”

What do you do when you have a huge crush on your best friend, or in my case best friends?

I’ve spent most of my life being the girl who tags along with the Love Triplets.
Three hot specimens, identical to most, but different in every way to me.

There’s Alex, the high school quarterback, whose deep, blue eyes I swear can see my soul.
Aiden, the smartest boy I know, who shares my love of academics and soccer. His nerdy talk twists me up inside. And Archer, the funniest person alive, whose full lips I’d die to taste. Don’t get me started on how he looks in gray baseball pants.

I was doing great suppressing my feelings and acting like every day was just another day. Until, everything changed. When the secret they’ve been keeping comes unraveled, and my arch nemesis attacks in every way she can, will our friendship even survive?

All my Loves is book one in the Love Brothers duet. It’s a #whychoose, reverse harem romance, with lots of steam and a HFN.

Review: Rebels (Assassin’s Academy #1) by Everly Frost

Length:322 pages

Published: October 11, 2019

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Rebel or die. My choices are simple. I’ve been sent to Bloodwing Academy because I’m one of the magically repressed. I should have magical powers, but I don’t. Not yet. One day I’ll wake up and my powers will be out of my control. I’ll be a threat to everyone around me, but that doesn’t mean they should lock me up.

Especially with someone like Striker Draven. As heir to the Draven fortune, he thinks he can have whatever he wants. He wants to pull me apart, rip out my power, and take my heart with it.

That’s if I don’t rip his out first.

My name is Peyton Price. My freedom is going to come at a cost. Body and mind, I have to decide if I’m willing to pay it.

This is a full length, 100,000 word dark academy romance, the first in the Assassin’s Academy series. An enemies to lovers romance for fans of action and intrigue. Set in the Assassin’s Magic world.

**Recommended reading age is 17+ due to language and heat level.

My thoughts 💭

That ending definitely left me wanting more!! Peyton is fierce and I absolutely loved her! The magically repressed are treated horribly at the academy to try to force their magic out of them and then force them to become part of an army. Some students were able to help each other hide to keep each other safe. Then they all were able to rebel with Peyton and Draven leading the way! I wasn’t sure what to expect next and I can’t wait to read the next book!

Emilia—

All I’ve
ever wanted was to marry for love.
But girls
like me don’t have that luxury.
We are used
as pawns in a game we can’t control.
The game?
It’s called Mafia.
I was
foolish enough to try to change the rules… and I lost.
Luca—

She was
promised to me years ago.
And he
dared to take her from me.
Dared to
touch what was mine.
I put an
end to that.
I hope he’s
enjoying the view from his dirt room.
Emilia—

My
beloved’s killer placed a ruby ring on my finger and called me his queen.
But that
red gem symbolizes something different for me.
It
represents the blood shed by those I love most.
Hell was
empty the day we wed.
Because the
devil was standing before me and said “I do.”
Luca—

I saw her
as a possession.
A shiny toy
I didn’t want other boys to play with.
But she’s
so much more.
Beautiful
and brave and strong and broken all at once.
She tastes
like everything I’ve ever wanted.
Emilia—

Hidden and
patient.
I wait for
the perfect time to seek my revenge.
But slowly,
I feel him possessing me.
His heart
is full of darkness… and I still want every inch of him.
Hard as I
try, I can’t escape loving this beautiful monster.
Luca—

I’m waiting
patiently because I already know that she’s mine.
Mine in a
way that no one will ever understand.
Even if she
hasn’t yet realized it.
For love,
I’d do anything.
For her,
I’d do everything.

Excerpt
I focus my attention on the girl sitting to Sofia’s left. The more
beautiful one. The older-looking one. The more frightened-looking one with
tears pooling in her lower lids.
Dark brown hair cascading over her shoulders and down her arms, the ends
nuzzling against her bare skin like a frightened child clinging to its mother.
Almond-shaped deep-caramel eyes surrounded by lush dark lashes. A few scattered
freckles across the bridge of her perfectly shaped nose. Plump, glossy coral
lips.
In my wildest dreams, my betrothed didn’t grow up to be this beautiful.
And it annoys the hell out of me because I don’t want to be attracted to her.
I want to make her suffer.

Sofia Bellini grips the hand of the girl in question. “Please, Marco.
Swear to me on your honor that my daughter will be safe with you.”
My father chuckles. “Emilia is going to give us babies, heirs to the
Rossini empire. There is no safer place for her than with our family. You know
that.”
Sofia and the girl beside her, my Emilia, embrace one another and sob.
Her grandmother and sisters cluster around her doing the same. It’s pathetic. I
would have expected less of a display from Bellinis. Certainly not this
spectacle.
My betrothed has weaknesses. Those will need to be eliminated before she
influences our sons with that nonsense.
“That’s more than enough of that,” I tell them.

She lifts her chin and her eyes meet mine for the first time. Inside
those deep-caramel orbs, I see something I like very much: rage. There during
one heartbeat and gone the next, it was only a fleeting flash. But I saw it and
I don’t mistake it for what it is.
This girl is going to be so much fun to break.

“Come, Emilia. I’m ready to take you home.”

Blog Tour: Wrong Side Of Wright by Sade Rena


Title: Wrong Side of Wright 
Author: Sade Rena 
Genre: Romance, Suspense 


Add on Goodreads 








He’s handsome, he’s charming… he’s a liar.

He’d put me through so much—broke me until I barely recognized my reflection in the mirror. Six years he lied about being married. Six years of my life stolen—wasted from my own stupidity. But I healed—or at least I thought I had. 

I got one year… Three hundred and sixty something odd days before he showed up at my door… shot in the shoulder… begging me for help… showing me that everything I thought I knew was the farthest from reality I’d ever get.

But then I was given a choice…

Trust him and survive, or fend for myself. 

Has loving him proved to have been the biggest mistake of my life?

**If cheating or the mention of it bothers you, you may not want to read this book.

Review: Ensnared by Sofia Daniel

Length: 366 pages

Published: November 14, 2019

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

“I have two weeks to protect myself from three horny, blackmailing vampires and their fangs.”

If I don’t obey them, the Stryx brothers will unleash my terrible secret.

A secret that will get me executed. Or worse.

Nero, Dante, and Raphael have trapped me right where they want:

Kneeling at their gorgeous feet, their unwilling slave.

They have my body, my obedience, and now they want my blood.

How long before I stop resisting their seductive games?

I must awaken my magic and fend them off before their kisses turn deadly.

Ensnared is book two of a reverse harem PNR academy bully romance series. It contains cursing, dark themes, and sexual situations.

My thoughts 💭

The Stryx brothers are still jerks for most of the book but they eventually get better. I actually started to like them. Alicia is strong and I adore her but she makes poor choices when feeling sympathy for people who didn’t care about her feelings at all! Helping Zariah out always comes back to bite Alicia on the a-&! I can’t wait to read the next book.
