Review: Captivated by J.R. Thorn

Length: 205 pages

Publication Date: March 10,2019

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Four sexy vampires. One mortal-born witch. An ancient secret that will test them all.

I’m not a very good witch. It’s not my fault. Being born a mortal sucks and my black cat familiar follows me around like a security blanket. All the other coven brats make fun of me.

My vampires don’t seem to mind. They pose as my mentors and get Aunt Sandra off my back. My initiation into the Royal Covens is only three days away. They’re supposed to teach me how to hide what I really am: a reincarnation of some ancient and powerful witch. I think they’re just telling me that to get in my pants. 

What my vampires don’t hide is their hunger for me, both for my blood and my body. That dangerous kind of thrill is going to get me into serious trouble. 

Captivated: Royal Covens Book 1 is a medium-burn reverse harem romance and part of a 3-book series.

My Thoughts 💭

This book is pretty interesting but the cliffhanger has me feeling kind of meh since Eve is powerful but was easily subdued. Other than that I thought the book was well written and interesting! I enjoyed how she interacts with her men….and Bast not sure if he’s one of the men but he’s a ancient Egyptian god so…. lol

Review: Supernatural Academy: Year Two by Jaymin Eve

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis

Year Two at the Academy! The year of purple.

Maddison James learned a lot about life last year. Only important stuff, of course. Like how to breathe under water, how to turn an arrow into a weapon, and how to fall in love.

Asher Locke. The one who stole her heart. The one who showed her the truth of her past and … hopefully her future.

Now it’s just time for them to live happily ever after.

Only the gods have different plans. And with Atlantis rising, Maddi isn’t sure she’ll survive long enough to even finish her second year, let alone have any sort of future.

Even worse, the sadistic Atlantean gods want to break her before they kill her. But Maddi has been underestimated before, and she has hidden strengths they’ll never see coming.

Year of purple … bring it on.

This is book two in the Supernatural Academy series. Full length at 105k words.

My Thoughts 💭

This book was just as captivating as the first! We finally learn more about what Maddie really is. Every time you think things are going back to normal something else crazy happens. Asher will protect his mate no matter what. Maddie is no pushover and will not tolerate being treated poorly or pushed away. I’m absolutely loving this series and I can’t wait to read what’s next for them. The other characters are so loveable as well! I can’t wait for year of the aqua hair!

Synopsis

Maddison James is about to discover some truths about the world.

Firstly … supernaturals exist.

WTF?

Secondly … she is one, even though no one seems to know exactly what kind.

Double WTF.

Thirdly … she’s about to go back to school.

Well, things just got a little more interesting.

The Supernatural Academy is where shifters, vampires, magic users, and fey are educated. Where they are taught about their abilities, and how to function in the human world. Maddison already has the human part down, but this supernatural thing is an entirely new dangerous game.

Example one: mean girls who can actually turn you into a frog.

Example two: Asher Locke, a god at the Academy. Not literally … well, who knows for sure. He certainly acts the part, as do all of his minions who worship him.

Asher drives her crazy, because apparently gorgeous and arrogant is her thing. Sparks fly between them, and the more they’re thrown together, the more Asher is determined to figure out what’s been blocking her abilities.

Until the moment the truth is revealed, and they find out nothing in this supernatural world is what they thought.

Including each other.

Supernatural Academy is 105k words, full length urban fantasy story. Recommended 17+ due to language and sex scenes.

My Thoughts 💭

This book has me hooked! Maddie discovers supernaturals exist and she’s one of them then she’s taken to an academy where she’ll learn about her powers and how to function in the normal world. I love Maddie and Asher! Their chemistry is crazy and I enjoyed ever moment of it! Maddie was badaxx and fit right in to the supernatural world for a newbie.

Review: Knights Of Arcanum Academy by Bella Holiday & Nicole Marie

Length: 285 pages

Published: August 29, 2019

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Every school has at least one bully. So, of course, Arcanum Academy has four.

And worse? Not only are they equipped with looks that could kill, but they’ve got magic, too.

Lachlan. Alexander. Sebastian. Gabriel. These boys are strictly off limits. Taboo. So high in a class of their own, I’d be surprised if they even knew my name… Even with me being stuck in each one of their classes.

Not that I care.

The conceited asshats think their god-like bodies, expensive cars and filthy attitudes make them the most desirable beings to ever have had the disprivilege to walk the halls of the Academy. And they act like they have some big secret only they’re good enough to know about.

But I can say that, without a doubt, I’d rather eat dirt than spend time with any one of their elitist boys club, let alone care about their stupid secret.

Because what they don’t know is, I’ve got a secret of my own. One they’d do anything in their power to find out… Including making my life a living hell.

Arcanum Academy is a mature Reverse Harem Bully Romance set in a magic academy in Scotland, with full steam, dangerous magic and mysterious men in kilts that are too hot to handle. Contains foul language and sexual content.

My Thoughts 💭

I really liked this book but I felt it started of kind of slow. Sarah has no knowledge of who she really is. She’s just lost her mother and is sort of guided to attend a magical history school that isn’t what it seems. By the time the action starts its over before you know it lol! It’s a slow burn romance so not much happens between Sarah and her bullies. I’m definitely interested in reading the next book.

It’s hard to resist temptation…

My costume was just for fun.
I never expected to become the center of attention.
I certainly didn’t expect to meet Wyatt.
Older, dominant, and hot-as-sin

I could already tell I was in trouble…

His touch made me quiver.
His lips set my soul on fire.
I swore I would never be that kind of girl.
But Wyatt took temptation to a whole new level.

The only problem was that he wanted to claim more than my innocence. He wanted to claim my heart…

Review: Manhandled by Sara Fields

Length: 156 pages

Published: September 12, 2019

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Source: Kindle Unlimited

Synopsis

Two hours ago, my ship reached the docks at Dryac.

An hour ago, a slaver tried to drag me into an alley.

Fifty-nine minutes ago, a beast of a man knocked him out cold.

Fifty-eight minutes ago, I told my rescuer to screw off, I could take care of myself.

Fifty-five minutes ago, I felt a thick leather belt on my bare backside for the first time.

Forty-five minutes ago, I started begging.

Thirty minutes ago, he bent me over a crate and claimed me in the most shameful way possible.

Twenty-nine minutes ago, I started screaming.

Twenty-five minutes ago, I climaxed with a crowd watching and my bottom sore inside and out.

Twenty-four minutes ago, I realized he was nowhere near done with me.

One minute ago, he finally decided I’d learned my lesson, for the moment at least.

As he leads me away, naked, well-punished, and very thoroughly used, he tells me I work for him now, I’ll have to earn the privilege of clothing, and I’m his to enjoy as often as he pleases.

Publisher’s Note: Manhandled includes spankings, rough sexual scenes, intense and humiliating punishments, and strong D/s themes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

My Thoughts 💭

This was a little dark & hot sci-fi read. Cara is rescued and then punished by Bane. Bane takes Cara home and tells her she’ll be working for him since she wants to work. They have some good chemistry. The book kept me interested from beginning to end.

Ana Balen was born in Zagreb, Croatia, where she still lives with her husband, their son (read boss!) and the son’s pet rabbit named Shhh! (or some other gibberish that’s the favorite of their son for the day.)
She spends her days driving her husband up the wall (when he can’t get her ass up from the bed in the mornings), reading and daydreaming, or following orders from a three-year-old. In the hectic life she leads (and loves every second of it), she never thought about writing. But, then one day a name popped in her head, then, the snippets of things, and she sat down and started typing. Next thing, she wrote a book. And now, she’s about to release her third!
