Audiobook Review: Twisted Ink

Image
  Being a romance writer means drawing inspiration from many things, and when I met Dallin, I knew I had the perfect muse. He was everything women read about— tall, tattooed, and irresistibly delicious. Oh, did I mention successful too? He swept me off my feet and right into his bedroom where he awakened things in me, I had only ever wrote about. He was the bad boy who rode a motorcycle, I was the good girl next door, yet together we were perfect. Or so I thought. When he invites his childhood best friends, Trey, and Parker, to stay with us, I realize right away there is more than meets the eye to their lifelong relationship. Dallin wants to share me. Amongst all three of them. But there’s more than that, because it turns out they like to share each other too. My Review I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrators Scott and Veronica both did really good jobs of narrating this book. Scott of voicing all of the guys, so that they all sounded different. I will tell you ...

Book Review: Heartless

Image
  Eighteen years ago, Cassian Byers murdered his older sister. And I witnessed the whole thing. For nearly two decades, I’ve fought to bury the memories of my troubled childhood, which includes the haunting image of my babysitter’s murder. Life in Hayden Fields has been eerily calm—no big crimes or chaos—until now. Until the first girl dies. And I see Cassian outside of my window on the first night of October. It seems he remembers me just as well as I remember him. And when teenagers start showing up dead, there’s only one likely suspect. Except I’m the only one who seems to think so. To everyone else, he’s quiet and reserved; polite enough to sway public opinion in his favor. But I know the truth: he’s responsible for these murders, and he’s watching me. Now, I must find a way to prove it—without becoming his next victim. * HEARTLESS  is a contemporary dark romance standalone set in the Pleasure & Prey universe. This is an MF romance. This book contains scenes of violenc...

Book Review: Frisky the Snowman

Image
  This is a  light  Lauren Biel romance, but still weird! In winter's embrace, I revel in the snow, sculpting whimsical snowmen that bring joy to my chilly solitude. But beneath the frosty gaze of winter, an unexpected admirer emerges with an obsession that ignites the season's spice. As Frisky the Snowman takes on a life of his own, a frosty liaison unfolds, turning a wintry fantasy into a sizzling Christmas affair. Frisky the snowman is a spicy snowmance novelette! Check out the content warnings on Laurenbiel.com! My Review This is a hilarious romp of a book. I got to listen to the audio version, and it is the way to go. The story is already funny but then when you listen to the audio version, it makes it that much funnier. I had my husband listen to the audiobook.  Here were his comments: The female's voice is good, but the male's voice sounds like a serial k!ller. Which this made it even better, if you imagine a serial k!ller narrating this book.  Frisky bet...

If you're me, you pick up a one-night stand with the most gorgeous man you've ever seen.. That's right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldn't want walked in. And when my friend convinced me to take him back to my hotel room, I didn't think about it, I just did it . . . well, I did  him . It was an unforgettable night, but I didn't stay for breakfast.

Book Review: Dolls of Ruin

Image
  Owning a thrift shop isn’t glamorous, but it’s mine—my tiny corner of quiet where nothing weird ever happens. Until the dolls arrived. The moment I opened the first crate, my quiet little thrift shop turned into something… unexplainable. Porcelain and cloth dolls, beautiful and eerie, each with a presence that seems to command the room. They're more than antiques—they feel alive. The more time I spend with them, the harder it is to shake the sense that they’re not just watching me but waiting. For what, I don’t know. But I can’t ignore the pull they have over me. I should sell them, move on—but what if I can’t? What if they won’t let me? Step into the beginning of the  Bound by Stitches   universe. This prequel sets the stage for an epic 12-book series, with each standalone exploring a doll—or set of dolls—as love interests. Whether you’re drawn to Quinn Hawthorne’s why-choose chaos, Mae Celeste’s intense M/F romance, or their co-written menage à trois intrigue, there’s...

Book Review: The Scum of the Earth: Melody's Awakening Melody

Image
  NO ONE EXPECTS BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE TO BE PSYCHOPATHS Melody is an exotic dancer whose boss makes her an offer she can't refuse. A chance situation sees her fighting for her life. Does she let the darkness out and quench her thirst for blood or will she be just another corpse left mutilated at the hands of a twisted scumbag? With buckets of viscera and lashings of blood soaked torture, this book is not for the faint hearted. Immerse yourself in a story of desire and depravity. Everyone has a dark side. My Review Readers of splatterpunk will like this short book. Blood will be spilled. Lots of it. As with any splatterpunk book, the topics in this book are violent. So just be aware.  I liked how the author dedicated a chapter to each of the four men that had captured Melody. She shared their stories of how they came to be. So that when the story came back to the present with all of them and Melody, you were truly on Melody's side cheering for her.  It was intriguing how the s...
