King of Depravity - Review

Image
 I enjoyed reading this book. Killian and Chloe were one of those couples that just fell into each other. They didn't let any type of doubt really stop them from being together. I really love when I get a chance to read stories like this. Sometimes, I really dislike slow burns because it is mainly the characters fighting their feelings for each other and using anything as a reason for why they can't be together. These two however, do not let anything like that stop them. The issues they face are mainly external or the ones that were internal, were their traumas. I liked that they were both understanding and were able to work around that trauma with each other. I noticed however, that I picked the wrong series to start in this world. I will definitely jump into the story of the Kincaid brothers and then jump back into the Smiths.  The spice in this book was very nice. I liked getting to see these two overcome their issues surrounding intimacy. 4 out of 5 for the spice. Overall,...

The Curse That Binds - Review

Image
  This was a really, really good read. I enjoyed it so much even though I knew what was going to happen when we got to the end. The journey of Memnon and Roxilana was still just as good. The heart break that our characters suffer and the romance that they find is on another level. We get to see where Roxilana came from and how she met Memnon. I didn't think that we would hear about his family but it was indeed just as amazing.  And just as sad when we lost them. We see how Memnon went from being a normal man to what we see when we meet him in the first book. I can't wait to see how this goes in the third and final book in this story. I really can't stand the fae that we had the misfortune of meeting and I hope that she gets her just deserts! This was another great entry in the series by this author and I haven't had a miss from her yet! The spice in this book was really good and very spicy. I would give it a 4 out of 5. Almost a 5 out of 5. I chemistry between these two...

Ondine Vol. 2

Image
  I don't think I've liked a book that has felt all over the place like this one. Everything about this book is very interesting. I mean from Freddie and his caring for the other boys who are like him to Sabbies and his home-maker style to Shadow and his dark side, Jake with his bossiness and need to dominate to finally Arnie and his voyeur kinkiness. All of these guys bring a little something to the plate. I really enjoyed getting to know them and Ondine. This world is so interesting and I can't wait to read the inbetween books and then hopping into Mads. These characters will make you care about them, whether it is love or hate. I love that they were able to become a full pack for Ondine and that she finally gave into herself and became what she was always meant to be.  The spice in this book was out of this world. Everything you would love about a why choose is in this book. There is MM, DVP, DP, threesome, foursome, everybody some. If I could give this book a rating hig...

Stolen Touches - Review

Image
  This was a good read. These two don't stick out as much as some of the other couples but they were still very unique. Salvatore is definitely a one of a kind MMC. As always these characters have flaws that others would look twice at, with Salvatore, it's his injuries that he survived. It definitely does not make him less of a man. If anything he was that much more savage due to his obvious injuries. Then we have Milene, who is trying to run away from everything mafia only to end up with one of the top guys. She seems to have a habit of picking up broken things. She gravitates towards Salvatore before she even knew who he was and I loved that for them both. The side characters here are pretty much non existent other than Salvatore's mother. We spend most of our time completely focused on them and what they have going on. The main thing that I can say about them both is that they are eccentric. It seems that because they both lay into the extremes of those eccentrics they a...

Bratva Bride - Review

Image
I don't really know how to rate this book because there was things that I liked and things that I didn't. So the main thing that I didn't like, is how childish some of the characters were. I understand trying to make them seem carefree and the opposite of what you would think a hardened mafia person would be. I just think that this went a little too far in the other direction. The way that the characters bickered and did the whole "no you" back and forth thing was kinda...much. It happened all the time. No one had a different dynamic with any of the other characters other than Illyana and Aleksandr. Their father too. No one else seemed like an adult..until the author wanted them act like an adult...which was weird. Now the things I did like, I loved how bad ass Illyana was. I liked that her and Arturo didn't really have any back and forth between each other about whether or not they wanted to be together. They trusted themselves and allowed that trust and feel...

Dawn of the Cursed Queen - Review

Image
  Wow, what a ride that was! I have no words for what I just read. I mean...I guess I'll start with all the different POVs. This was definitely a change from the previous books. Of course we needed all of them to get a slight handle on all the moving parts that is going. The realms are changing and there is so much going on that it's insane just how much. Of course everything was triggered by Dianna and Samkiel. The things that ends up happening to them and the overwhelming amount of power they have as well as the power that they have yet to unveil. We can even talk about the blossoming romance amongst so many different characters. I can kinda see where some things are going but others are still a little murky. That ending though! Oh my goodness. Again there is a lot happening and I have no idea what is going to happen with the craziness that happened at the end of this book. Whew. I can't wait for other things to fall into place and for us to have the gang back together ag...

Vamps & Vendettas - ARC Review

Image
  I really enjoyed the story of Ophelia and Gideon! Their story was so entertaining! From the banter between Ophelia and Jenna to the look a like games with Chase and Gideon. It has been so fun being back here and getting more info on the node and the world that we inhabit. This time its vamps! And man is the story of Ophelia and Gideon a little sad. I felt for her throughout the entire book. From learning her history with the vampires to the fact that Gideon has thought she ditched him and is probably been dead all this time. BUT I loved that they were able to put that behind them pretty fast and realize that there was definitely other things at play! I loved getting to hang with everyone again and even see the dragon!! Oh things in Havers-by-the-Sea continues to get so much more interesting!  The spice in this book is relatively low. I would probably give it a 3 out of 5 simply because it was there and it was open door. I was hoping to get more from these two but alas they h...
