Darius, son of Marklon, isn’t looking for love the night destiny comes to claim him. He’s also not interested in crashing his new car. But when a human woman runs out into the road and he must swerve to avoid killing her...everything goes off course.
Disillusioned by his King’s lack of leadership and the losses in the war against the Lessening Society, Darius finds purpose in protecting a woman he cannot make his own. Love finds a way, however—until the truth of what he is comes out and she leaves him in horror.
Unbeknownst to them both, Anne is carrying his young, a female who is destined to be Queen—and after a tragic reunion, he vows to protect their daughter. Resigned to perpetual sadness, he is determined to serve the memory of his beloved no matter the cost...unless by some miracle, fate sees fit to once again bring them together.
MY REVIEW:
Darius was an entrancing, heart-crushing, eye opening story that feels like I've been waiting YEARS to get my hands on! This was a story I secretly been longing to get and I can say happily it did not disappoint.
I loved seeing how Darius ended up with a daughter to begin with. How he fell in love with a human and ended up keeping her and their daughter a secret for a long time. I cried, I swooned, and I finally feel like I have been completed! I can't begin to tell you how this story made me feel. I was enraptured from the very first time I read about this mysterious brother that had gotten killed, and that was in the very first book! His story was intense, and heart breaking and left my soul feeling crushed and full all at the same time. J.R. Ward outdid herself on this one.
Darius was an unforgettable read that gets an all-around 5 out of 5 SOLID GOLD STARS!
He knows the exact moment she will die and he will risk everything to stop it…
even his life.
The Grave Robber, an all-new steamy paranormal novella set in the Charley Davidson world from New York Times bestselling author
Darynda Jones, is available now!
Eric Vause is done.
Done with ghosts. Done with hellhounds. And definitely done with asshole demons, mostly because he’d been possessed by one. Even now, five years later, the rage he absorbed from the creature has yet to wane, so he decides a road trip is in order. Surely some cool air, great scenery, and a case of Dos Equis will shake things loose. Unfortunately, supernatural events happen everywhere. When he meets up with a friend whose partner’s daughter needs help with a pest problem—aka, a ghost—Eric takes that as his cue to leave.
Until he sees her.
He can tell Halle’s house isn’t the only thing that is haunted. The hopelessness behind her eyes tugs at something deep inside him. Something all too familiar. The fact that she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen has nothing to do with his change of heart. And he vows to leave her in his rearview the minute he takes care of the poltergeist. Then again, vows were never his strong suit.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.*
MY REVIEW:
Back in the Charley Davidson world again and it was A HELL OF A LOT OF FUN!
Finally getting Eric's story here and it was everything and more I was hoping for! Witty, sexy, hilarious and Darynda's famous fun flair, this novella was a definite treat!
I started this and finished it within a day and I wanted to cry once it ended. The book was fun, feisty, sexy and wonderfully, hilariously witty. I wanted it to go on forever and then maybe, a little bit more. This was weirdly, and quite possibly, insanely good and I loved every flip of the page and every word that was written. Gimme more please!
The Grave Robber gets a SCORCHING FIVE OUT OF FIVE ENTICING STARS! Talk about mouthwatering good!
She pulled her lower lip between her teeth, stalling. She stalled some more when she said, “I can’t always read them.”
“Halle,” I warned.
Her shoulders deflated as she released a surrendering sigh. “At first, they were just numbers. They started right after my mom died. The number twelve kept popping up. But a month later, it changed to an eleven. Then a ten. Then a nine.”
“A countdown.”
“Yes. Every month for the last year, he’s been counting down. And now we’re at number two.” She leveled an accusing gaze on me. “And you’ve known since the first time you laid eyes on me.”
“Not the first time,” I said, slightly offended. “What makes you think they’re death threats? They could mean anything.”
“Because the other note he leaves is pretty explicit. It’s just one word. Payback.”
Ah. Now we were getting somewhere. “Halle, what happened seventeen years ago? What changed your life so dramatically? And who wants payback?”
She shook her head and looked away, tears shimmering in her eyes.
I leaned onto my elbows and put a hand over hers. “Halle, I know this is hard, but please trust me.”
“It’s not that. It’s not that I don’t trust you. You’ve earned that and then some. But if I tell you what happened, what I did, you won’t want to have sex with me anymore.”
I almost snorted. Clearly, she didn’t understand the male thought process.
But I needed to chill. I was pushing her too hard. I wanted her to bend. Not break.
The furball started whimpering at her feet. Halle picked her up, nuzzled her, then set her in the box she’d brought along with a dry towel from the bathroom. With a full belly, the furball settled immediately and went to sleep.
Halle straightened and walked over to stand in front of me. “Is that a yes?”
“No,” I said, taking in every curve she had to offer. She smelled sweet, like jasmine. “It’s a hell yes.” I put a hand on her hip, the heat from her body soaking into my skin as she straddled me.
With hesitant fingers, she tested the abrasion on my jaw. “Are you sure this is okay? You were hit by a truck yesterday.”
“I was sideswiped by a truck. Huge difference.”
She nodded and grew thoughtful as though making calculations in her head. Now was not the time for math.
“I’m pretty sure you’re a supernatural being,” she said, completely serious. “That you’re not real and will disappear as soon as all of this is over.”
“I have several friends who are supernaturally inclined. I am not one of them. And I’m not going anywhere.”
She buried her fingers in my hair and covered my mouth with hers. I’d never welcomed a kiss more in my life.

MY REVIEW FOR REBECCA ZANETTI’S STORY RESCUE: HERO STYLE:
Peril is a fantastically exciting romantic suspense anthology featuring some of the best romantic suspense authors out there. And one of my most favorite ones, Rebecca Zanetti has one in this anthology I just had immediately jumped into as soon as this awesome story popped on my kindle!
Rescue: Hero Style is the next Wyoming Cowboy novella in Rebecca Zanetti’s highly anticipated new series that really had my heart galloping in happiness as I devoured a glass of wine while reading. It features Ella and Caden and let’s just say, the sparks just just sputter, they fly and sizzle and pop like a some of the best fireworks on the Fourth of July! It was spectacular, fun and so sexy, I could hardly contain my giddiness! I am loving these cowboys and the small Wyoming town and all the sexy and deliciously alpha men that seem to just make the heart race. Caden’s protectiveness and his desire for Ella as he wins her back is charming, sweet, and irresistible. Ella’s stubbornness and personality just meshes beautifully with his personality and I downright adored the sparks that flew left and right whenever they were within range of each other. The story was fast paced, action packed and sexy as hell! A total 5 STAR worthy romance! Definitely worth every penny this awesome anthology costs!
Destiny, duty and desire clash in this epic new novel in J. R. Ward’s #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series…
Lassiter, the fallen angel, is too good at the savior business. In his new role overseeing the fates of all vampires, he’s influenced outcomes he shouldn’t have- so the Creator is calling him home. But the angel has a reason to stay in Caldwell. He’s bonded with a mysterious female who’s seemed to appear from out of nowhere… and has powers that defy all reason.
Rahvyn is well aware that she doesn’t belong in the present. And she never intended to stay, for her true place is in the past. Lassiter proves to be undeniable, however, and she lets herself fall for the angel- until a secret he’s been keeping comes out and she fears that for him, it’s not about love, but duty.
As the Omega’s son reestablishes the Lessening Society, and the Brotherhood must resume the deadly war- an unfathomable tragedy occurs. In the aftermath, Rahvyn has to decide whether to stay and help- or save herself from an immortal heartbreak she knows will crush her very soul…
MY REVIEW:
BDB is back and this time it’s Lassiter’s turn for his story! I, just like MANY others,have been waiting for Lassiter’s book since he first was introduced in the series. This angel is sexy, fun, selfless and has a way about him that honestly captured my heart right from the very beginning. His addiction to the Golden Girls is too charming and his fascination with 80’s and 90’s makes things hella interesting.
I was so consumed and enraptured with Lassiter and Rahvyn. This story was powerful and emotional and devastatingly good! I couldn’t put it down once I started. The story ravaged my soul and brought to attention how and why I love the BDB so much! It’s an all out, incredible and fabulous installment and one of the most unforgettable stories so far this year! Rahvyn is perfection. She is an incredible heroine with a power that awed even me! I adored her and thought she was wonderful for Lassiter. He is exactly what she needs and vice versa. What a book!
Lassiter gets an ALL OUT AMAZING FIVE GOLDEN STARS! This BDB book can’t be missed!
Alien dragon riders. Fated mates. She would do anything to protect his world.
Mae’s mission was to find a potential location for the next human colony, however, she finds something more…
After landing on a newly discovered moon, she finds what she figured existed only as myths and legends... Alien dragon riders who live in enormous trees.
When one of the warriors, Watai, attempts to teach her about his world, he declares that she’s his cosmicmate, and that they share the same cosmicthread—a fated cord, which has destined them to be together.
The more she learns about his home, the more she wants to protect him and his world from the very government that she works for.
Now she is faced with a difficult choice: To stay and embrace her connection with Watai, or to resist its pull, sever their thread of fate, and flee to protect everything she has grown to love.
~~~~~
Across the Stars is the first book of the Cosmic Threads of Fatetrilogy, featuring the love story between Mae, a human starpilot and Watai, an alien dragon rider.
MY REVIEW:
Across The Stars was pretty freaking amazing to be honest! The world was stunning, the bonds were too sweet and awe-inspiring while the characters just dug their way into the heart right from the start.
This book definitely had an Avatar feel to it but was waaaaaay more stunning! I loved reading about these incredible alien dragon riders! Watai is sexy and charming and honestly perfect! And Mae is a wonderful, likable heroine. This world was so beautiful and unique I was really amazed and hypnotized by it. I loved everything about this book and this world and am excited to read more!
I give Across The Stars a WONDROUS AND FASCINATING FIVE SHINNING, ONE-OF-A-KIND STARS!
The fact that I had crash-landed on a desert planet was the least of my concerns... When we were attacked, our dream cruise went down in flames. Rescued by a Naga prince, he swears to protect me for a price—I have to agree to become his mate.
If I do, I will not only save myself but also those who have crashed here with me. If I don't, his clan will leave our fate to the stars.
I resist at first, but the more I get to know this crimson male, I find myself increasingly captivated by his charm. As my heart becomes entwined with his over time, I begin to wonder...will our people ever allow us to be together?
MY REVIEW:
I was so excited to read a new book featuring a naga hero, especially since I am finding that these types of monsters are fast becoming a favorite of mine! Jade Waltz wrote a really good story here.
Sweet, fast paced romance that had some wooing which was really cute and charming. The environment and world were vivid and unique while the hero was a definite sexy as sin naga prince and our heroine was bold, respectful and really fascinating. I liked Reva's personality and liked Sisqo's charms. The story itself was adorable and I am really looking forward to seeing Reva's friends stories. I am so glad I read this book and can't wait for more!
Entangled To The Naga gets a FOUR TOO CUTE FOR WORDS STARS! A worthy naga romance!
From NYT & USA Today Bestselling author Cherise Sinclair comes an outstanding addition to the beloved Masters of the Shadowlands series.
The secret of author Murphy’s success is hands-on research.
Murphy loves writing popular Regency thrillers and jumping into new adventures under the guise of research. For one novel, she’d joined a K9 search-and-rescue group—and liked it so much she stayed. But this book… Why had she thought a Regency birching club was a good setting?
The challenge is, she’ll have to return to the Shadowlands.
Years ago, she’d sneaked into the area’s most exclusive, private club. And what had happened to her there…well, she still has nightmares. But she’s healed now, right?
When she gets up her courage to visit the club, the owner hands her over to Master Saxon.
Master Saxon is handsome, powerful, and dominant. The veterinarian has a gorgeous smile, a trust-me voice, and does Search and Rescue with his canine helper, Sherlock. In the Shadowlands, he’s known as the Viking god. For years, he’s avoided serious relationships. A quiet, little author can’t possibly slip past his defenses. Even if he does adore her books.
Master Saxon guided her into the dungeon. “If I birch you extra hard, will that get you to write faster?”
Her mouth dropped open at his wicked grin, then his words registered. “No!”
Note: Full-length, sizzling-hot novel with no cliff hanger and no cheating. A protective, dominant hero. A vulnerable, intelligent heroine. Page-turning adventure, sigh-worthy romance, hilarious girl-gang moments…and an adorable, fluffy dog.
MY REVIEW:
The newest Shadowlands story matches the title BEAUTIFULLY: It was one really PERFECT adventure!
The moment I started reading, I was transported to my happy place. I felt like I was submerged in safety, happiness, and warmth. Reminded me so much of being in a perfectly warm bath. I felt cherished and relaxed. The feeling NEVER gets old and I only ever feel that with one of these Masters Of The Shadowlands stories!
This book felt so different, but in a really good way. It was so sweet and heartfelt and sexy. I learned something new too and that in itself is a treat! Master Saxon is a sexy, caring and sweet Dom. I loved his personality and the way he made my heart sing. And our heroine is a real sweetheart too. She, like all our other shadow-kittens put everyone else before herself. She is caring and reminded me a bit of myself with the way she was kind of an introvert. And the connection and play and relationship between Saxon and Murphy was unique and very sweet. I really enjoyed these two and liked their story VERY much.
I give this book a SWEET AND MOUTHWATERING FOUR AND A HALF STARS! Its a beautiful story and one I enjoyed with my whole heart!
After being discharged from the Demonslayer guild, Mayumi chose to isolate herself within the forest. The best place to hunt and kill Demons. But, one night, she’s surprised when a different monster is lured by her baits.
Just before she unleashes an arrow that’s aimed to kill, Mayumi pauses. She realises she’s seen that skulled, feline face before and that it had once saved her life.
All Faunus ever wanted was her.
After the Demon King cracked his skull, Faunus returns to watch over the only human he has ever cared for. He knows what his future holds, she would never become his bride, but he wants to spend what remains of his life protecting her.
He never expected that she would ever befriend him, or that she would openly desire him. She’s as fiery as her burning passion, and he’s desperate to let her consume him.
But his time in this world grows short, and Faunus doesn’t know how he can be with Mayumi when he knows nothing will save him.
MY REVIEW:
A Soul To Touch was one of the most stunning, incredibly written, special and most wonderful books I have read since 2023 began!
Faunus and Mayumi are the most amazing characters I could of ever have hoped for. Mayumi is a fierce warrior and knows just what she wants and takes no crap from anyone. And Faunus is nothing like any hero I have ever read either. Even as a Dustwalker, he is completely unique and sexy, sweet, protective with such a beautiful and endearing personality that I couldn't stop myself from falling head over heels for him. The way he was with Mayumi was so darn incredible and heart melting and sexy as all hell!
This story had so much to offer. Heartache, laughs, sweetness, giggles, surprisingly fun moments, hot sex, and a story that gripped my heart from start to finish! I loved this book even more than I imagined and I am having a hell of a time putting it into words. I seriously want to write some serious poetry about this book, but my mind is officially blown, so the only thing I will say is if you haven't pre-ordered this book yet, I HIGHLY recommend you go to Amazon and one-click this book. Like NOW! Best book yet in the series hands down!
Warning: Includes a charming hot mess of a demon hero, delightfully snarky banter, lots of F-bombs, spicy AF steamy scenes, and a well-behaved witch who learns to cut loose.
One night. That’s all they need to get each other out of their systems.
At least according to demon Tallak when he suggests a night of no-holds-barred bed sport to witch Hazel Murray. Tallak’s goals in life are simple—after more than 20 years in a fae dungeon, he just wants to relish his freedom and build a healthy relationship with Basil, the son he’d presumed dead. Having the hots for the witch who raised Basil? Bad idea. Opposite of simple.
As Elder witch and head of her family, Hazel has enough on her plate trying to keep the witch community from splintering after the end of the war. Lusting after the biological father of her adopted son is the last thing she needs. Especially since that father is a recent prison escapee demon with a questionable moral compass. A responsible witch and mother would steer clear. But Hazel has been so good for so long…maybe it’s time to be just a little bit bad.
MY REVIEW:
OH, HOLY HOTNESS ON A CRACKER, TO TEMPT A WITCH TO SIN IS ONE OF THE BEST, EXHILRATING, MOST AMAZING BOOK OF 2023 SO FAR!
I have waited so long for another Nadine Mutas story, and when the newest novel of Love and Magic was in the works, I got so excited I could hardly contain it! I have been so EAGER to get a hold of this book and read Tallak and Hazel's story that when I finally got my chance at an ARC, I RAN, not walked to get this book. The wit, the charm, the seduction, endless spice, laugh out loud banter, and heart pounding suspense was breath catching and simply put, INCREDIBLE! I didn't want this book to end.
There is just something special about Tallek and Hazel that sent wonderful tingles and warmth through my entire being that was in one word ADDICTING! This book in its entirety gets an EASY FIVE INCREDIBLE, MOUTH-WATERING STARS!! If I could, I would grab ALL the stars and put it down because this book was and is beyond AMAZING!
