Book Review: Kill to Love

Image
  Kill to Love is for fans of dark romantic comedies like "Lights Out," and "Butcher and Blackbird." Good girl Delphine has waited all her life to find her Soulmate, only to find out that he is a... notorious serial killer. Delphine De Astor has never cried. She doesn't feel much of anything and has hidden her lack of emotion all her life for fear of being outed as Soulless – evil and unlovable. Unfortunately, Delphine has also never felt her heart search for her Soulmate. Deemed Soulless, she is thrown into an Execution Battle where she must fight to the death against other Soulless for ten days (with advertisement breaks for stain remover). Pant-less, and armed with only sunscreen, Delphine runs into cannibals, psychopaths who are probably just Gemini’s, incestuous lovers, a madman in a pink sequined crop top and…Dig Graves. Dig is a notorious, dark haired serial killer who hides his eyes behind heart shaped sunglasses. Long ago he had tried to kidnap Delphine...

Book Review: A Taste of Submission

Image
  Grumpy chefs with hidden desires and a past riddled with pain, these men set out to break me down before piecing my soul back together. Can a taste of submission be enough to save me from my past? THIS IS A DARK ROMANCE WITH HEAVY TRIGGERS. READER'S DISCRETION IS HIGHLY ADVISED. My Review As soon as I met Daisy. I could not help but smile at her bubbly personality. Although, who knew that underneath was a broken woman. She had no self confidence in expressing what she desired behind closed doors. Lucky for her that her two new bosses Alec and Pierce are Doms. They know how to take care of a woman. "Brats do bratty things for a reason, pretty girl." I loved how Pierce and Alec knew just the right balance to push Daisy. They showed her it was ok to feel pleasure and to ask for what she wanted. That moment when she was freed of her emotional barrier was awesome. This book is a top notch read from Emily.

Audiobook Review: Dead as a Dodo

Image
  From the Amazon bestselling author of the  Wonky Inn books  comes a brand-new magical fantasy witch detective series. Dodo was dead. And there the matter should have rested. At least for DS Elise Liddell. Emotionally burnt out, she considers herself retired from police work. By rights it has nothing to do with her, but someone killed the poor man and, as Elise can resist everything except a good puzzle (and a shot of Blue Goblin vodka), here she is tangled up in a murder case. When a petty thief hands himself into the Ministry of Witches Police Department, Elise’s ex-colleagues consider it an open and shut case. She’s less convinced. My Review I like that Elise was a "broken" FMC. It showed that she has flaws and made her relatable. In addition, that readers will like her and be cheering for her. Beware the Blue Goblin vodka. It is equal to the bottle from the book that was labelled "Drink me".   When I first met Hattie Dashery, I thought she was just a noisy ...

Book Review: Of All Seasons

But from the moment they arrive, the romantic getaway falls apart—and so does everything he thought he wanted. For Alessia Rossi, it’s just an off-season job. Another happy couple to tour guide. She never expected the handsome American to notice her, or share her love for beauty in the ordinary. He reminds her how it feels to be truly seen, and to want something she can’t have. Rainy walks, shared laughter, and a Vespa ride along the cliffs—what starts as a tour, deepens. Every glance says more than words, every touch threatens  the line they both know they shouldn’t cross.

Book Review: Bás Dorcha

Image
  My mind is shattered. The last several years have disappeared from my memory, gone as if they never existed. Waking up from this coma was hard, but it's even harder when surrounded by police who are eager to strike, bombarding me with questions I don't know how to answer. The only clues I have to unlock pieces of my past are the tattoos littering my body and the ongoing trial detailing the horrendous crimes I've been accused of. Upon my sudden release and discovery of a secret hideaway in my home, photographs of me with a stunning woman in my arms hold me captive. Her name is nowhere to be found in the photos or in my mind. All I know is that she must have been mine before everything fell apart, and the burning need to find her consumes me. After tracking her down, things don't go as expected, and I've been left yearning for something I'm not sure I ever had. Countless unanswered questions leave me to determine who I am, and who I need to be, to keep the woman...
