Blurb:

Nearly four years after running from the scene of not one, but two crimes, Charlotte McLintock is barely managing to survive and keep a roof over her head. With her daughter to look after, a degree to finish, and several jobs to juggle, life is hard. But they’re not the only battles she’s facing: guilt, secrets, and a broken heart still haunt her every waking moment, and stalk her dreams.

When shadows from her past resurface and threaten to unravel everything she’s worked so hard for, Charlotte must decide if it’s time to come clean or run once more. Will she be able to earn the atonement she so desperately craves, or will those hunting her demand their own special kind of vengeance?

***WARNING***

Atonement is a contemporary New Adult reverse harem second-chance romance, with some dark themes. It is told from multiple points of view and is a medium burn with a cliffhanger. It contains hot guys, bad language and sexual scenes. I would love for you to read this book, but please be aware that it comes with triggers, a warning of 18+, and you really need to have read Vengeance first.

💜💜💜REVIEW 💜💜💜

This is the second book in the Vengence series. This begins where the first book left off. Raven/Charlotte had exacted her revenge on those who wronged her sister. Fast forward 4 years later, her past catches up with her with a lot of surprises thrown in the mix.

I am literally trying to wrap my head around what the hell just happened. One of my toxic traits is to easily become emotionally invested in the story and characters, and this one hit me right in the feels. I am definitely not one for <spoiler> surprise pregnancy/baby trope </spoiler> but this one is absolutely fantastic! That cliffhanger had me tearing up.

Blurb: 

Some people say that life won’t give you more than you can handle...but those people are liars.

My life has never been easy. I’ve had my fair share of pain—every moment is a fight to survive. With my brother on his deathbed, it’s up to me to provide and protect what’s left of my broken family. I do things I never thought I’d be capable of, becoming a person so hardened to the world that when I look in the mirror, all I see is a stranger.

When a twist of fate lands me at rock bottom, I make the ultimate decision and give away the only thing I have left—my freedom.

I belong to them now… The Beast. The Brains. The Bastard.

The Dixen’s have their secrets but they aren’t the only ones hiding something. When the truth finally emerges, our worlds will collide in a potent mixture of sex, drugs, and bloodshed. Either we will fall under the weight of our deception or it will make us untouchable—bound irrevocably to each other.

Sometimes you have to trust the gangsters. Sometimes it takes a gun to stay alive.

And sometimes, it takes both.

***Gangsters and Guns is a dark, contemporary, standalone novel. There are explicit scenes and dark themes such as drug abuse that might be triggering for some. If such material triggers or offends you, please do not read this book***

❤❤❤REVIEW ❤❤❤

"I’m not the hero of my own story, but I sure as shit am not the villain. The world is filled with shades of gray. I’m just realizing now how deep into that dark side I am willing to go."

I went into this blind and was absolutely blown away. Holy crap! Amazing job!!

"They may be the kings , but she’s their fucking queen."

The Dixen brothers are absolutely my new favorite Alphaholes. There is so much chemistry, angst, sexy times. If you have triggers, this may not be for you. This is actually the first book I have ever read that has pitbull representation and I couldn't have been happier. Huge pitbull supporter here. Absolutely loooved this one!!

When the gods turn bad…

…reapers come out to play.

My name’s Autumn, and I was raised by a fanatical cult. I made a deal to be possessed by a god. I was tempted by forbidden whispers of eternal pleasure. Then a lethal but sexy-as-hell god broke me, stealing my magic.

Loki, God of Mischief.

Now, I’m the Infernal: a witch who reaps both gods and demons. I guard the Tree of Life in an English forest, which is stalked by scorching-hot but dangerous monsters.

When a curse binds my greatest enemy, Loki, to me as mate by his shifter spirit, it’s my turn to break a god. I’m seduced, however, by his beautiful mayhem. Then he spins a wild tale, and it turns out that everything I’ve known could be a lie.

Can I trust Loki and my other gorgeous rebel gods and demons?

Hades — My brooding Hellhound God of the Underworld who’s a giant of muscles, midnight black hair, and shadows

Ra — My Phoenix Sun God who’s tall, blond, and my loyal friend and lover

Kit — My Kitsune Fox Spirit with powerful magic and mesmerizing eyes, which I could lose myself in forever

Oni — My roguishly handsome Demon with a lady-killing smile who’s my first love and Soulmate

They’re the enemy, royalty, friend, bonded, and second chance. They’re also my obsession...and secret protectors. 

When the gods are rebels, the demons are wicked, and the shifters are savage, it’s lucky that I love bad boys…

https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Witch-Yagas-Riders-Book-ebook/dp/B08RCZ91PM

Blurb: **WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS A CLIFFHANGER**

As with most beginnings, it started with death.

When I had nothing left to lose, I traveled to the hut in the woods; the one no one dared approach. The witch who lived there recognized the darkness in my soul and took me under her wing—to witness her reign of terror firsthand and eventually, to inherit her legacy as my own.

Now I’m the monster they fear; the one humans avoid at all costs. In this welcome isolation, I've attempted to forget my past and the future that was taken from me.

Until three men appear, somehow able to break through my protective wards and see me in my true form. While resistant to their intrusion, I recognize they may be the ones I’ve been waiting for—the ones I need to ascend to my full power.

Too bad I would rather grind their bones than invite them in.

But something is mysteriously devouring the forest, and I suspect the threat may be the same one I barely escaped many moons ago. If it is, he will find me a more worthy opponent than the last time we met.

I am the Yaga and I may be broken, but my edges are sharp.

--

The Yaga’s Riders is based on the folklore of Baba Yaga, with creative liberties taken.

The Rise of the Witch is the first book in a steamy, paranormal romance saga featuring alphaholes, mysterious forces in magical woods, and a slightly frightening heroine who never has to choose just one man.

This was a freaking fantastic start to this series! This was so much darker, more gritty than Wings of Darkness and light series. 1000% my jam!! I truly loved everything about this. Let me tell you, C. Rochelle made this even more perfect by dialing up the steam by a lot, by giving us more m/m scenes!! All of these characters are so complex and with raw feelings and emotions. But that major cliffhanger!! Ahhh, can't wait until the next one!

Aleatory. 

As in ey-lee-uh-tawr-ee.

As in an adjective. 

As in a synonym for unpredictable.

As in the only word to describe making the mistake of falling for someone who is not only ten years younger than you, but your best friend's son...

About the Author:

Xavier Neal is a best-selling romance author who enjoys hopping from sub genre to sub genre like a game of Hopscotch she can't resist.

In between writing, she loves to read (everything from romance to self improvement books), watch movies (old and new), eat too much Tex-Mex (her Chuy's t-shirt collection is out of control), and watch AHL hockey games LIVE (preferably against the glass whenever possible). 

She currently resides happily in Texas with her bearded husband "Lumberjack" and her rather lazy dog, Missy.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect. I wasn't completely drawn in from the very beginning. However, I am soooo glad that I decided to continue. This was a really cute, light-hearted, fun story. Sloan is such a strong character. The banter between Sloan and Nix was so hilarious. Their chemistry was absolute perfection! Loved it!

Betraying the most powerful man in New York wasn’t something I ever envisioned when I first started playing games with Winston Constantine. But he’s engaged in far more dangerous games than ours, and his enemies are out for blood.

Winston has my heart, the Morellis have incriminating photos, and I’m left with nothing except three stepbrothers who want to hurt me and a future in doubt. I knew Winston wouldn’t be my prince charming, but that didn’t stop me from falling for him.

After all, the slippers fit, and I let myself believe I’d be dancing with Winston forever.

Until too much truth comes to light.

Until I realize instead of ruling the board, I was just a pawn.

In the end, I have only one question. When his game with me is over, will I be able to pretend as if the glass slipper wasn’t a perfect fit?

Blurb:

What you’re about to witness comes from a dark place. It’s taken a lot of planning, but you should know that every single thing I’m about to do is deserved. More than deserved, it’s owed, tenfold. Nothing I could do to these people will ever be enough to get even.

***

Charlotte McLintock has a new identity and a new look as Raven Deighton. She needs it so that she can infiltrate the elite private school that’s covering up her twin’s death. They claimed it was suicide, but she knows better.

Her plan’s been almost two years in the making. What started off as a desire to know the truth has turned into a burning compulsion for vengeance. However, she soon finds that life at Westchester Preparatory Academy’s not what she expected and that everyone’s hiding secrets - even the four hot guys she’s rapidly falling for.

Her one mission is to uncover the truth about what happened to Lizzie so that she can make everyone involved pay, and she’s not about to let anyone or anything - even her own torturous heart- stop her from burning them all to the ground.

***
Vengeance is a contemporary New Adult reverse harem bully romance, with dark themes and a twist. It works as a savage standalone piece (if you love a cliffhanger) but will actually form part of a trilogy with closure at the end of the series.

What a rush!! There's nothing better than a great revenge story. This was definitely that kind!

 After the death of Charlotte's twin sister, she assumed the identity of Raven Deighton. There was two things on her mind, 1. Find out the truth about her sister's death and 2. Exact revenge on those who tortured her. She enrolled at the university, where her sister attended, and did just that! What she didn't expect was to fall for the four "Princes" of the school. Incredible!! Absolutely incredible. Crystal North always seems to keep me on my feet with all of the twist and turns. I have read the Knox Academy series  first, so seeing a cameo from Baxter made me fangirl squeal...because I looove him! Why didn't I read this sooner?!?!?!?

Zane, Daniel, and Blaze - My Protectors.
The men I must fall in love with to save the world... wait, what?

Imagine my excitement when I find out there's more to my dreary life and that I'm powerful beyond my wildest belief.
In fact, I'm apparently the key to to kicking Venom's ass.
But then I learn that I'll only be able to reach my full potential once I fall in love with all my protectors. Basically, my destiny is that I get to end up with three sizzling hot guys. It almost to good to be true, right?

Here's the problem:
-Zane is a sweetheart but has a bit of an addiction problem.
-Daniel is hot as sin but also a self-obsessed narcissist.
-Blaze hates the world and everyone in it.
And let's not even talk about my issues.

In a nutshell, my powers are dependent on four broken people that should probably never be together.
Yeah, I don't see that happening...

*Princess Taken is a medium burn paranormal RH romance, with a careful selection of angst, witty comebacks, and steamy build ups within the harem. Warning: This book contains MM scenes, and references to abuse and addiction, which may trigger some readers. Heat levels also increase over the course of the series.*

This is Tyler Parker's debut story. I really liked this! Loved the character development and world building. There were some parts where it was a bit slow, but definitely made up in action, angst, and steam. I also would love to know more about the other guys. I'm totally loving Blaze!!

But now I have him where I want him, I can’t help but taste him a little.

He’s gotten under my skin.

The way he looks at me, a need, a hunger clawing inside, I recognize it in the mirror. It’s his eyes. They tell me he doesn’t give a fuck if he lives or dies. That I’m the prey and he’s the carnivore. That he’s soulless.

But in the end they all beg.
Violent, bloody, and raw.
Because I’m the real monster.

Incredible short story by Mallory Fox. I've loved her books since War of Hearts. What an incredible addition to this anthology. Viola is an assassin who seduced and took out a target. Her latest assignment required her to go back to school. What she didn't expect was to uncover a larger operation. Viola was my absolute favorite. She was such a badass chick, who isn't afraid of anythin and basically doesn't give a f*ck. She met her match when she fell for her target. I would definitely love to continue this series!!

Frostine had escaped her former pack. She was forced into an arranged mating that she wants no part of. When she reached Silver Springs, she had her freedom. One day, two of her former pack mates (and childhood loves) showed up on her front door. Once again, our beloved skating rink, worked it's matchmaking magic on Frost and brought, not only her two former loves, but another shifter, Lexington (Or Lex). They all three had so much love for her, it was beautiful. 

This started off a bit slow (for me), but such a great story and a quick and easy read...actually one of the shortest in this collection. This was also my first J.E. Cluney story. Definitely, going to check out more.

#NewReleasedBoxSet #NowAvalilable #ReviewinComments

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08WHFTN3W/

Blurb: 

COMPLETED SERIES COMPILATION

This set contains all three books in the Rise of the Sphinx series: Oblivion, Obscured, and Obsessed.

*Twist on Egyptian mythology that morphs into a take on the seven deadly sins

*Mythological shifters

*Multi POV

*Widowed, young mother of a prophetic little girl

*Red herrings galore

Oblivion- I thought life was hard enough. Widowed young and left to raise my daughter alone, I never expected the threats I would have to shield her from. Magic, monsters, and three men fighting to protect their final hope. I have nothing to gain, but everything to lose... or so I thought.

Obscured- The journey through the Underworld is brutal and unforgiving. Nightmares come to life, taking everything that I thought I knew and tearing it apart.

Destroy or be destroyed.

But when every truth is obscured, what choice is left but to raze everything to the ground and build our future on the ashes?

Obsessed- They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, but the path to redemption is far more winding. Now, I just need to fix everyone else's mess without becoming the biggest sway in the balance.

They put their faith in a Sin, and I can't even bring myself to laugh at the irony.

*This is a why choose, RH, darker fantasy romance intended for ages 18+. This means our main character will not have to choose between her love interests. While not described in graphic detail, this series does contain mention of darker themes that some may find triggering, so please read the note in the beginning of the book before choosing to read.

🖤🖤🖤REVIEW 🖤🖤🖤

I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this series. You have everything from rare mythological shifters, hot chemistry between mates, so many plot twist and turns and everything is not what it seems.It was so intense, I couldn't put this down. The character development and epic world building was incredibly fantastic. I mean I am still in awe at literally everything about this series. It's too bad that I can't rate higher than a 5, it's definitely worth a lot more. Plus, if you are a huge Mythology buff like me, than I would highly recommend this one.

 Forged from the Ashes (Wings of War Book 1) by J. Kearston

#AvailableNow #ReviewinComments

 It takes more than blood to be a dragon.

You have to fight for everything you want in this world, then fight to keep it because there will always be someone that tries to take it away from you. In a world of nothing but predators, the only way to the top is to claw your way there.

You have to be the monster other monsters fear.

Ezra’s spent her life in hiding, but that all comes crashing down when three men fleeing for their lives bring the very trouble her family has protected her from to her door. Fight or flight, it all comes down to one very important question.

Why settle for something as mundane as simply existing when you have the potential to be so much more?

This is a humorous, HFN standalone, 18+ Reverse Harem dragon shifter romance. While the book contains copious amounts of humor, it does allude to a few situations that people may find triggering, so please read the note in the beginning of the book if you are concerned before reading. I do intend to write another book or so in this universe, but any books will be HFN standalones that can be read completely independently. This means that I will wrap things up with our main characters' story, but leave a little opening into bigger world problems that affect the characters in another book, as well as some cameos.

Contains: *Overprotective brothers

*brutal fun and games

*Men that adore her

*Multi POV

🔥🔥🔥REVIEW🔥🔥🔥

Twenty-three years of being bored out of my mind, and now it’s been a whirlwind of excitement in just a couple of days. Boy, is this an understatement!

Our badass FMC, Ezra, is one of the very last female dragon shifters in the land. She was very sheltered from the outside world, by her overprotective brothers. They train her, not only for gauntlet matches, but also so she can protect herself. When she reaches her age of maturity (24), she ends up attacting all sorts of trouble. She ends up enlisting her out-of-town gauntlet rivals to act as bodyguards. What she also gained was three mates.


J. Kearston is easily becoming one of my favorite authors. Everything from the action, humor (and few Harry Potter references), to the characters, flows very smoothly. This was highly entertaining and I really enjoyed this story!

The dark prophecy that has been passed down since the first pack of shifters is coming to fruition– and I am at the center of it.

An orphaned human taken in by a pack of wolves. The fate of their existence in my hands.

I’ve been treated as the dirt beneath the pack’s paws for years. 

Will they be able to accept my new role when my powers surface? Will I be able to forgive them enough to help them?

The bright spot amongst all the turmoil...finding my three fated. Until one of them rejects our bond.

The one thing I know for sure...death is coming for us all, soon, and the person responsible for it? Their betrayal is going to alter the shifter world forever.

I’ll conquer my powers, protect the packs, and live happily ever after with my men, right?

Wrong.

No one is prepared for the vile truths of my visions to come to light.

Blurb: 

Sometimes what seems most fragile, can't be broken.

Stella

Poe Halliday was an accident. A chance meeting that changed my life forever.

My mother didn't have secrets; her secrets had her.

After she disappeared, I had nothing.

Or so I thought.

When the invitation arrived, the opportunity to learn about my mother's past was too great to pass up. I knew I was taking a risk, but I craved answers.

Now the dark history of this town threatens to tear me apart.

It's all about him.

I knew this was a mistake.

Poe

Stella Bradleigh was a distraction. Something to play with when my shadows got too dark.

I spent my entire existence forced to live a life I didn't want. There was only one way out.

Or so I thought.

Meeting the beautiful stranger with the mysterious past, I thought she would be a good time, and then I could just throw her away.

Instead, she consumed me, and now she's made me question everything I know to be real in my life.

It's all about her.

I knew I was a mistake.

★ Fragile Things is the first book in Poe and Stella's story and the first book in the Folkestone Sins series. This is a dark, mature high school/new adult romance. It contains situations and flashbacks that may trigger some readers, language that may be offensive, and scenes of a sexual nature (all consensual).

💗💗💗REVIEW💗💗💗

Ever since her mother disappeared, Stella has been on her own since she was 15. Two years later, she receives a package from her only known relative. She ends up moving to a small town in California where she unravels hidden secrets about her family.

Fantastic debut story by Samantha Lovelock. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I couldn't put this one down. There was suspense, hot chemistry between h and H, secrets unveiled, and twist and turns that will leave you wanting more. I must admit, I'm hooked!!

The Death Club: A Dark Romance (Dead Men Walking Book 1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

 The Death Club: A Dark Romance (Dead Men Walking Book 1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

#AvailableNow #NewRelease

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VS1GD5D/

Blurb: 

Chaos. Carnage. Killing.

The three Cs that make my life complete.

 

I know killing technically doesn’t start with a C – but wouldn’t life be better if it did? Just like it would be better if the Devil was my boyfriend, Santa wasn’t a d*ck and I didn’t live under a bridge.

 

I wished for my life to improve, but it didn’t. I was kidnapped, sold, sold again, stuck in a death game, sold AGAIN and now I’m living in a serial killer’s basement.

 

Oh and there’s another dude down here who lives in a cage and doesn’t talk. I call him Dead Man on account of his soulless eyes. He either wants to kiss me or kill me. I can’t decide which I want most.

 

Anyways, my hot, tattooed, muscular insane Irish captor thinks I might make a good hit woman once he trains me up. Which is a freaking insult by the way as I’m already the best killer in town. Ask anyone. Except the cops. Don’t ask them or they’ll send me back to that creepy asylum where they gave me the crazy pills. But shh, that’s a secret.

 

Want to know another one? I quite like it here. Every day is anarchy and that’s my favourite flavour.

 

So I think I’m gonna join The Death Club and let my freak flag fly.

This is a brand new dark romance series set in the same world as the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series with character crossover. Each series can be read independent of each other.

💜💜💜REVIEW 💜💜💜

"Death wasn’t my enemy. It liked to run circles around me, test my limits, see what I’d do to avoid it. But if today was the day I didn’t escape it, then was that really the worst thing in the world?"

Holy crap! I am at a loss for words! I really cannot express how much I enjoyed this.

Just imagine if Harley Quinn and Mallory Knox were morphed into one person, then you would get our batshit crazy FMC, Brooklyn. She had such a messed up childhood, from her mom abandoning her to her father dying, being neglected led to even more tragic events. She eventually snapped and exacted her revenge and ended up known as the Bully Butcher. She was kidnapped and sold to the highest bidder. She would not go down without a fight.

Niall, who is apart of Irish mafia, sees something special in Brooklyn and wanted to train her. His demons play very nice with Brooklyn's demons and he met his match. This whole time I totally got Conner McManus, Boondock Saints vibes.

Mateo, aka Beastie, ex-Mexican cartel fixer who has his own demons. For months, he was captured, caged, and tortured for information and still nothing. This is my boy right here 🥵. He's mysterious and broody, yet fiercely protective and possessive. But, when Brooklyn breaks down his walls, he is adorable when she finally gets him to open up. I love him!

It's one of those books where if I could give more than 5, I totally would. This is actually my first story by Caroline and Susanne. I didn't realize that this was also a spin-off of the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series. I have those on my TBR that I seriously need to get to (although, it's not necessary to understand this series) ahh, I seriously can't wait until the next one!

DEVIL YOU HATE

They call me "The Devil." 

Deranged and violent. 

Gorgeous but frightening. 

The night before her arranged marriage I kidnap her.  

As the last remaining daughter to the Ricci Family I know her father will do anything to keep his hold over the five families which means he'll do anything to keep her safe.

Beautiful, fragile and innocent, destroying her will push her father over the edge.

Taking her was revenge, plain and simple. Spilled blood for spilled blood. 

Most wouldn't dare cross another mob family, but I'm scared of no one. 

I figure the mafia princess will be easy to break, but I'm wrong. 

The light in her tempts the darkness inside of me. Teases it, tortures it. 

Every day I find myself wanting to hurt her, break her, keep her. 

Lucky for Celia, she fails to see that there is no escaping what I have planned and when she attempts to draw me in with her innocence, and sweet naive heart I thrive to show her what true darkness is.

DEVIL YOU KNOW

Niccolò is so much more than The Devil. 

The night of the auction changes everything. 

I thought I knew who he was, and what was going to happen next. 

I had no idea how wrong I was…
