Book Review; Caged in Desire

Image
  Born among the gods and bound for eternity as a matchmaker to the mortals, my life has been dedicated to pairing hearts and souls. But these powers come at a high cost. By bonding couples together, I’ve been robbed of having that same connection with another. Valentine’s Day has come around, as it always does, filling people with a deep desire to find true love. And just when I think this will be another successful year, I find myself on the doorstep of a man whose heart and life have been cast in darkness. Eryx Nightvale isn’t just any man—he’s the god of discord, everything I’m not, and he’s determined to break everything I represent. Now I’m caged, my heart and body trapped behind bars.

Book Review: Something Like Home

Image
  I’ve spent my life earning my place in rooms built to keep me out. Doors of opportunity slam shut, and I can only hold out hope for so long. When I'm finally seen for my abilities, and not my looks, I fall when I should run. The closer I get, the harder it becomes to tell where safety ends, and desire begins. I know better than to confuse power with care. I know better than to want what could cost me everything. He watches without crowding, protects without asking permission, and he never underestimates me. When the threats stop being theoretical, and the walls close in, I realize the most dangerous thing isn’t being seen---It’s wanting to stay. Some places don't just feel safe, they feel like something like  home. My Review As a STEM fan and someone who had a degree in Electronic Engineering, I liked that Evie is intelligent and into this field. Jennifer is a good friend. It would figure that she helped facilitate Evie having an interview with Elijah. He is a good guy....

Book Review: Sap & Secrets

Image
  A Surprise Baby Firefighter Romance from Amazon Bestselling Author Daphne Elliot Nine months ago, I had one perfect, reckless night with Jasper Lawrence, the tall, tattooed firefighter who made me feel fearless.

The two of us stumble through new parenthood together. And he doesn’t just step up, he moves in. Almost. He pitches a tent in my backyard and sleeps outside so he’s never far away from us.

Book Review: Captured Prey

Image
  I want to be hunted…but not by just anyone. No – it must be by the monster I have secretly craved. Chase me. Devour me. Take what is already yours. I know I shouldn’t speak these desires aloud, but I’ve longed for this – to be the heroine sprinting through a moonlit forest, breathless and trembling, pursued by something dark enough to unmake me. When I uncovered the rumor buried in a forgotten academic footnote, I knew I would come here. A secret invitation. An unholy promise. If this is what I want, why not indulge? I will be the prey. All I need now is the hunter waiting in the forest. Captured A Primal Play Novella  is part of the Second Circle Entry series, told in third-person POV. Each story explores desire, inhibition, and awakening in richly sensual worlds. Often pairing mortals with monsters, love and hunger intertwine as things that go bump in the night steal your heart…and possibly your soul. Seductive. Sinister. What are you waiting for? My Review I thought this ...

Audiobook Review: Colton

Image
  Her revenge. His obsession. Her ruin. Luella infiltrated his world to destroy the man who took everything from  her. But Colton Blackwood wasn’t supposed to be part of the plan—ruthless, unhinged, and just as damaged. He sees through her lies, breaks through her walls, and pulls her into a nightmare she can’t escape. Their hatred ignites a savage hunger. Their war leaves scars. There are no heroes here. Only monsters... and the girl who wanted to burn them all. A pitch-black, twisted romance of vengeance, captivity, and obsession. For readers who crave their love stories cruel, consuming, and beyond redemption. Content Warning:  This is a dark romance with highly disturbing and potentially upsetting content. Intended for mature readers only. Please review the full trigger warning before reading. My Review Luella is one tough FMC. While she was walking right into the lion's den and lots to fear, she showed that she would not back down. Do we "hate" Colton, the answer is ...

  Takar is a lion shifter warrior with a gentle heart. One fateful day in Africa left him scarred emotionally and physically, turning him into a monster. He tries to find peace by relocating to the coast and shutting out his inner lion, resigning himself to a life without love. But the fates have other plans. Aria has never had it easy. The mermaid shifter’s mom died shortly after she was born, and her father is slowly dying after being poisoned by an oil spill. When Aria meets Takar, she knows he is her mate, but he doesn't seem to understand. Just as she might be getting through to him, the unthinkable happens. Can fate be so cruel as to bond her to someone responsible for her father's death? Can their mate bond handle the pressure to join Land and Sea? My Review I really liked this book. The reimagined twist that the author took from The Little Mermaid and The Lion King was nice. I instantly got the references and liked seeing the refences throughout the book. While I love b...
