Book Review: Broken Fates

Image
  Queen. Savior. Sacrifice. The realms are fracturing—and Vale Tenebris stands at the center of the storm. With chaos spreading across the continent, Vale must harness the magic she barely understands to protect her kingdom and the ones she loves. The bonds with her mates have been tested, and the forces threatening to tear their world apart grow stronger by the day. As ancient powers stir and secrets come to light, Vale is thrust into a race against time to stop a war that could consume the realms.

The fate of the realms lies in her hands, but at what cost? **Broken Fates is the final book in the fiery dragon romantasy set in the Severed Flames universe. Expect three dangerously seductive, fiercely protective dragon shifters who will stop at nothing to keep their mate safe. This book contains mature themes. Reader discretion is advised.** My ...

Book Review: Burn

Image
  They called me crazy. A liar. “They would  never  do something so awful,” they’d say. Maybe I’m just a bitter bitch looking for revenge. Revenge… That’s  exactly  what I want. I want to hear them beg. Cry. Plead. Just like I did… I want them to know what true helplessness feels like. I want them to pray to God for mercy. I want them to curse him when they never get it. They’re already dead; their bodies just don’t know it yet. I used to be a good girl. The innocent one. I kept to myself, but I was kind to everyone. Don’t they want to see the monster they’ve created? I am the Devil. This is  my  Hell. They put these demons inside of me, and now they want to come out and play. Are you ready to  play,  boys? I am… THIS IS A DARK ROMANCE WITH HEAVY TRIGGERS. READER'S DISCRETION IS HIGHLY ADVISED. My Review You know what I really like about Emily's writing, is that even her short stories pack quite the punch. You don't feel like you are missing ...

Book Review: Savage Proposal

Image
  I built my empire on blood and betrayal, turning my heart to stone after losing the only woman I ever loved. Love is a weakness I can’t afford. But then Isabella Rossi walks into my world—scarred, defiant, and hauntingly like Sienna. She was supposed to be a pawn in a dangerous game, a surrogate to secure my legacy. Yet her strength and fire awaken feelings I buried long ago. Falling for her is a risk I can’t take. In my world, love doesn’t save—it destroys. Betrayed by my father, I’m sold to Lorenzo Vitali—a man who embodies the darkness that ruined my family. He demands I give him a child, a choice that should shatter me. But it’s not the demand that terrifies me; it’s him. His icy exterior hides a dangerous pull I can’t resist. I hate myself for wanting him. Falling for Lorenzo means losing myself. Men like him don’t love—they devour. And I refuse to be consumed. My Review You know what I love the most about Mafia romances...strong FMCs. Isabella fits this category. She is fei...

Book Review: Drop His Mask

Image
  Betrayal has a bitter taste. It needs to be sweetened with a heavy dose of revenge. Before he was the Host, he was just a man in unrequited love, trying to keep his promises. Raven isn't done escaping death. She isn't done with this country. She isn't done with this  game.  And she isn't done with doing what she does best. Being underestimated. The game isn't over, but as it nears the end she starts to fully question. Why are the winners never seen again? Why is the Host so familiar? And what exactly does 197 want from her? The Hunger Games meets Squid Games in this dark why choose dystopian romance. There are a heavy dose of TWs that will be listed on the first page. Every character is flawed and morally grey. Do not expect any heroes. This FMC can save herself. My Review After the cliffhanger ending of book one, I was really looking forward to this book as I needed to know what happens.  In this book, the games are more personal. The group, Raven, Levi, Maverick...

Book Review: Tusks, Tails & Teacakes

Image
  One part  Legends and Lattes , one part Hallmark rom-com, and a generous sprinkle of cottagecore coziness. Welcome to The Tusk & Tail Tavern where the fire is always crackling, the meat pies are rich and savory, the air is filled with laughter and bard-song, and friends are like family. At least, it used to be… Half-elf Lira is eager to return to The Tusk & Tail Tavern, where she and her companions set off on their adventures many years ago. But the rundown tavern is no longer the bustling hub where dwarf mercenaries and halfling farmers shared pints over a friendly game of dice. More crucially, what Lira came back for—what she buried in the tavern’s basement—is now bricked over. What better way to stay close to her hidden treasure—and figure out a way to retrieve it—than to offer to restore the tavern? After all, her grandmother taught her to bake, and she still remembers the recipes—for the most part. She doesn’t count on having to partner with a dwarf warrior name...

Book Review: Please, Sir

Image
  My flesh bends to his every whim Everything I have is his to use Fleeing to Bluebell is my chance at a clean break. With a new teaching job and gig as the JV cheer coach, I'm excited to start over but more importantly, moving puts distance between my toxic, gaslighting parents and abusive ex. Was I expecting to meet a smoking-hot cowboy who didn’t hesitate to suck a splinter from my palm my first day in town? Definitely not, and of course, he’s off-limits. So imagine my surprise when I'm on my knees, my wrists bound, his leather painting my skin with crimson welts. My voice, weak and thin, desperately begging, “ Please, Sir ,” as my eyes roll back with euphoria. Then the door crashes wide open, and standing there slack-jawed is the only student I’ve formed a bond with since I moved here, staring at me like she’s seen a ghost as I’m bound and begging… For her father. My Review This book starts out sweet but eventually turns into one heck of a spicy read! I loved it a lot. The ...
