Synopsis

Alexis Ravenel: Peasant. Princess. Pawn.

As a peasant, I was forced to work the jewel mines in order to survive. My life was hard, but my worries were few: affording food to eat, and keeping my pet sloth out of harm’s way. But when a chance encounter with a stranger concludes with me obtaining the power of the gods, suddenly my whole world changes.

When the Storm King finds out—and trust me, he always finds out—he plans to make me a princess by marrying me off to one of his four sons. Which doesn’t really seem like too bad of a thing…at first. After all, the Storm Princes are sexy as sin, rich, confident, and built like the very gods themselves.

But nothing is as simple as it seems, and the luxurious life of the Blackwood royals is nothing but a nightmare I cannot wake up from… and neither can the princes. They grew up knowing and resenting this fact, but I had to find out the hard way…

In the Kingdom of Blackwood, we are all just pawns in the Storm King’s wicked game.

TAKEN BY STORM is the first book in the STORMS OF BLACKWOOD series, a fast burn, RH, paranormal romance. 18+

My Thoughts 💭

Well I think this is the first time a cliffhanger has left me speechless, laughing and wondering what the heck!?!😂😂 This was a wonderfully written book that captivated me from beginning to end. This book was also hot! The Storm King is a tyrant and everyone is a pawn to him. Alexis gets powers from a dying slave of the Storm King and her world is changed. The King wants power and he feels like forcing Alexis to marry one of his sons would give him even more. Then there’s Alexis’ pet sloth who keeps trying to off himself….I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read what happens next! Kill the king!

Synopsis

You think it’s safe to walk alone at night. It’s not.

You think the only threat is other humans. It’s not.

Monsters are real. Demons are real. Vampires are real.

And I’m about to become one of them.

My name is Arianna Spero. I was an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life, until my mother lapsed into a coma. Now, I am her only hope. She made a deal with the devil, and on my 18th birthday he came to collect. But there’s a way to save her. There’s something the princes of hell want more than my mother.

Me.

So I signed my soul away and promised to pick a prince to marry. I would take the blood oath, become one of them, and give them an heir. I would become a princess of hell, and my mother would live.

I expected fire and brimstone. I expected pain and misery. I didn’t expect beauty. I didn’t expect magic.

I didn’t expect love.

But the princes are keeping secrets from me.

Secrets that could shatter everything.

My Thoughts 💭

This was an enjoyable read. Ari finds out her mom made a deal with the devil and to save her mom she has to choose one of Hell’s princes to be her mate/ husband/ king(I forgot…don’t judge lol). There’s more to Ari and the ending proved that to be true. By the end I didn’t know who to trust! I thought Fen was kind of innocent but he’s not! The warning Ari got in the beginning to not trust anyone was correct lol.

Synopsis

This is Book 1 from the “House Of Vampires” Trilogy. Enter here and never leave…

“One minute your flipping burgers, the next minute your living in a mansion with 4 handsome vampires who all want you to have their baby…”

When her grandmother passed away, 19 year old Lorena Quinn was left a small fortune in her will.

Along with a further surprise.

Upon accepting the inheritance, Lorena learned that she was central to a prophecy. A prophecy that forecast the end of the world and Lorena was the only one who could save it.

For this to happen, Lorena would have to have a child with one of the four sons of Vlad. Commonly known as vampires.

Now she has to choose which of the four eligible vampire bachelors will be the father of her child.

However, before she makes her choice, she must first live with them. All of them, at the same time…

Welcome To The House Of Vampires!

Things get very interesting in this vampire romance series aimed at adults. If you liked Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Twilight or anything that is sexy and paranormal then you will LOVE this!

My Thoughts 💭

I was expecting a reverse harem but this definitely wasn’t it. Alan is in love with Dimitri. So he’s out. Dimitri kind of gets on Lorena’s nerves. So that leaves Wei. She likes one guy. Possibly 2 if Zane is interested. This series isn’t for me and I won’t be reading the other 2 books.

Join Kira and her sexy dragon shifter mates in the final battle to save the four Realms!

This series was amazing. I absolutely enjoyed reading Kira, Jasin, Auric, Slade and Reven’s journey. It was an interesting one for sure. They accomplished everything they set out to do. I loved their happy ending. Reven is definitely my favorite!

Synopsis

The fate of the world rests on the shoulders of four sexy dragon shifters and the woman they’re sworn to serve…

It’s time for me to embrace my destiny as the next Black Dragon, the one who can control all five elements and bring balance to the realms.

I’ve bonded with two of my mates, Jasin and Auric, and now we continue our journey so I can become intimate with Slade and Reven. It’s a race against the Dragons we’re meant to overthrow, who will do anything to stop us from fulfilling our destiny.

We’re going to need allies if we want to defeat the Dragons, even if that means confronting the dark secrets of our pasts. But death and destruction follow us at every turn, and unlocking the hearts of my last two mates seems nearly impossible.

When all seems lost, will love be enough to save us?

SHAKE THE EARTH is the third book in this steamy fantasy romance series full of dark secrets, dangerous enemies, and smoldering desires

My Thoughts 💭

In this book you get to know Slade a lot better. The relationship between Slade and Kira gets better…finally! Reven is still a bit of a jerk but hopefully he gets the chance to tell Kira his true feelings! Kira’s father is revealed but that’s the least of her worries. I can’t wait to see how the guys and the father plan to get Kira out of danger!

Synopsis

To unlock her powers she must mate with four sexy dragon shifters. One down, three to go…

I’m done hiding. I’ve stopped running. And I’ve finally accepted my destiny—to take four dragon shifters as my mates so I can become the next Black Dragon, the wielder of all the elements.

I’ve already bonded with Jasin, my smoldering soldier, and soon I’ll be getting intimate with Auric, my lofty prince, Slade, my grounded blacksmith, and Reven, my frosty assassin. Only then can we become powerful enough to stop the current Dragons, the overlords of our world.

But as we continue our journey, secrets are uncovered about my mates that make me question everything, even as things heat up between us. Yet the greatest secret of all lies in my own past—and it might destroy us completely.

My Thoughts 💭

The second book was just as interesting as the first. I enjoyed reading. Kira has some doubts about becoming the black dragon. She learns something shocking about her parents.

Auric and Jasin working together for Kira was hot. Slade and Reven are kind of coming around and it’s cute. I’m ready for them to be all in!

I’m interested to find out who Kira’s dad is!

Review: Duncan’s Pride by Xyla Turner

Synopsis

Portia:

I can handle it, I said.

Duncan can handle it, I said.

We can handle it, I said.

Shit, we can’t handle it. We said…

Duncan:

Portia had this undeniable belief that the two of us having a child would be a good thing. She had no evidence to confirm these suspicions, but I had first-hand experience. Therefore, I charted what having children would mean for my mental sanity. The percentage was low. It was especially low for my wife.

Also, I did not factor twins into the calculations.

Author’s Note: This is a novella and readers should read Book 1, Trent and must read Book 2: Duncan as those characters are heavily intertwined into Duncan’s Pride. Cameos by Mr. Vega and Faith, Trent and Bernie. Also, this book, specifically the Hero, is a bit different than a typical Xyla Turner book. It is IR, BWWM, and HEA, but Duncan is a different kind of perfect. I hope you give him another chance.

My Thoughts 💭

This was a sweet read! Duncan and Portia have twins and both of them have their own meltdowns. I still love Portia and Duncan! This was a really good addition to their story! I can’t wait to read the next book!

Synopsis

Four sexy dragon shifters. A huntress with a dark past. A bond that could save the world.

I’ve spent my entire life running from my past and staying out of trouble. That’s how I’ve kept alive ever since my parents were killed by the Black Dragon, who’s ruled the world under her oppressive talons for as long as anyone can remember.

But it’s hard to keep a low profile when four handsome strangers turn up in your village claiming you’re destined to save the world. According to them, they’ve been chosen by the gods to become elemental dragons—and I’m their mate.

Which means one day I’ll be the most powerful dragon of all, able to control all four elements. Assuming I can unlock my powers first…by getting intimate with each of my sexy mates.

Auric, the clever prince. Jasin, the cocky soldier. Slade, the protective blacksmith. Reven, the mysterious assassin. And me. We’re the only ones who can bring balance to the world and overthrow the Black Dragon—if she doesn’t tear us to shreds first.

STROKE THE FLAME is the first book in a new steamy reverse harem fantasy series.

My thoughts 💭

This was a great start to the series! There’s action and dragons! Kira is no pushover and will fight if necessary. I adored Auric and Jasin! They were all for finding Kira and being her mate. Slade and Reven are in denial and standoffish but hopefully that ends soon. Everyone is keeping secrets and it is kind of cute how they’re all cautious with each other and their mission.

Synopsis

Discovering you may be the last dragon shifter alive—and that you’re destined to take four hot alpha shifters as your mates—can throw a girl for a bit of a loop. But now that Ren is getting her powers and her enemies under control, her confidence is growing. A little hike into the mountains to uncover her mother’s last secret seems like no big deal with her guys by her side.

Too bad life has other plans. The farther Ren goes, the more other secrets surface. Secrets that threaten the fragile peace between the shifters and the fae. Secrets that could destroy the bond Ren’s forming with her mates. With unexpected enemies around every corner, it’ll take all her newfound strength to survive the fray.

*This is the second book in a steamy reverse harem paranormal romance series intended for readers 18+. Expect sexy situations, intense action, ongoing storylines, and a quartet of alluring wolf, bear, jaguar, and eagle alpha shifters you’ll wish you could make your mates.*

My Thoughts 💭

I’m enjoying Ren’s journey. She’s showing she’s not one to take foolishness no matter who it’s from. Aaron and Nate are the only ones she’s mated with so far so they’re okay. Marco and West are jerks but they’re her jerks I guess. I can’t wait to see how they respond to the attack on Nate’s estate.

Excerpt
“Hey, Christene. Wait up!” 

I stopped mid-step, and my heart stuttered.

That voice. I’d remember that voice anywhere. Thick. Deep.
Sexy. 

It’d been months since I heard him or seen him in person.
I’d viewed every movie he’d made, watched every YouTube video of his
interviews, and listened in on my sister’s conversations with her boyfriend
just to hear what was going on in his life. 

My pulse ticked up in tempo. Tick. Tick. Tick.
Like a bass drumming on the inside of my wrists. 

I froze, took a deep breath, composed myself, and turned
around ever so slowly to find Jordan Ryder—the highest-paid actor in show
business, Hollywood’s hotshot, America’s 
it guy—staring right
back at me. 

He was also Cade’s adopted brother. Yep. My sister’s
boyfriend’s brother. 

He blew out a breath of smoke and then flicked his cigarette
to the side. A sizzle of electric energy surged between us, just like that very
first day I’d met him months ago.

I took a step forward, and as though the world had suddenly
tilted on its axis, I lost my footing. In slow motion, as if I were in 
The
Matri
x, my legs gave out, and I saw the ground, the gum on the concrete,
the cracks in the foundation. One knee hit the concrete before I felt a pair of
strong hands reach out to steady me.

My hands fell to his hips, and I thanked the heavens above
that I hadn’t totally wiped out. I thought I had been saved, saved by an angel.
But just when I was about to pull myself up, my other knee gave out, and I
face-planted. Not on the ground, but into his crotch.

Oh. My. God.

When I tried to push myself to a standing position, pain
seared through my scalp. Because, like on an episode of 
America’s
Funniest Home Videos
, I realized my perfect curls were stuck on his belt
buckle.

“One second,” Jordan said.

Is he laughing?

Shit. Shit. Shit. He is.
