  Taking over Dad’s spot had been easy enough, but I was raised amongst the snakes. I was taught to survive and hold my own. Always doing what’s right. I am the son of Sebastian Barot, Quiver leader, and alpha to a pack so vile that we operate in utter darkness. Where the law can’t touch us. Taking down elitist scum like Carter Williams is what we do in our sleep while our venom regenerates. That is when we’re all behaving and focused. I was told to watch him. This ensures we have time to execute the plan to take down the company he runs. The one that haphazardly killed our father and leader. It’s all hands on deck with this job, but that was until I saw her. Miles is pissed. But it’s already done. But from how he’s eyeing her from across the pool, I’d say he feels the same way I do. Which is about to come to a fucking head. And two Cobras shouldn’t square off. My name means whirlwind or tempest, but I’m far from it. I’ve been promised to my fiancé, Carter, since middle school. Our...

  My Review After the cliffhanger of Undeclared Heir, I could not wait to read this book. I needed to know what would happen to Anna and James. Well, I can tell you that Irene did not disappoint me.  This book is spicier than the first. James went from regency to right between romcom and dark romance book boyfriend. If I am being honest, he was not trying that hard to help Anna put the story back to the original. As he would say, he was fine with the second edition version, where he and Anna end up together.

Can I wade through my insecurities and come out on the other side ready to give Cannon the partner he deserves? This is a 9k word, dual POV, MF short story monster romance between a lizard person male main character and a female human main character. There's both implied and acted upon species prejudice, explicit open door scenes, adult language, a jealous ex, mentions of pain from medical conditions, and corrupt government officials. My Review Cannon may be a MC biker but undern...

Until everything went eerily silent, and she was pulled from the afterlife and thrown into the life after. The life after death, the life after survival. The life without her band—the men who will always hold her heart—but that’s how it has to be.
