Book Review: Little Puppet

Image
  Cain : Everything ceases when he sees her at the gas station off Old Highway 28. Even the voices in his head. Armed with his training, wits, and a few weapons, Cain sets off on the hunt of a lifetime. One that'll only end in bloodshed. Grace:  Nothing could've prepared Grace for the Christmas she was about to have. On her way to her parents' house for Christmas Eve dinner, she realizes she's being followed. There's no escaping the man who has set her in his sights, either. My Review If you loved Captor by K.M., then you are absolutely going to go "feral" for this book! This book is for us women that love a psycho man that will feed us and call us his "good little wh@re".  As soon as I started reading this book, I was all in. I could not stop reading. If it was not for real life and work, I would have had this book finished in a matter of hours. The only good thing I can say about the fact that I was not able to read the book in hours is that I ...

Book Review: Save a Horse

Image
  If you’re drunk, and enjoy two hotdogs chasing after one bun, I have just the book for you. This year's hottest MFM ErotiCom is  Save a Horse . It’s a short AF novella that starts as a RomCom, but turns into Erotica for a while, then becomes a RomCom again. It will feel familiar, like a really bad made-for-TV movie, but with smut. This story has No plot, best friends-to- absolutely not -lovers, questionable holiday decor restraints, fast-burn romance, a Jacob’s Ladder because why not, sharing is caring, a failing Christmas tree farm… Plus, you get to play the game, “Why is the five-gallon bucket of lube making an appearance in this book?” **Blurb Inspired by ‘Stefon’ from Saturday Night Live** Save a Horse is a deliciously spicy, MFM holiday romantic comedy, and contains cameos of other characters from this series. While it is a standalone, for the best reading experience, it is recommended you save this one for the end. My Review Looking for a quick, steamy, holiday read, t...

Book Review: Eternally Lost

Image
  I loved her when I wasn’t allowed to, and in death, she’s all I think about. Purgatory is the life I never knew I wanted. I’m able to release the rage I’ve kept locked inside my entire life. When the fog hovers above the ground, I am in one place. The Graveyard. A fighting ring where I can unleash the violence my werewolf craves. The winner of every round gets a step closer to getting out of purgatory. The loser has their existence wiped from the universe. With one drop of blood spilled, I think of her. Elouise. I remember being young and in love with a vampire I wasn’t allowed to be with. Our love was forbidden. And that fuels my lividity. My love for her keeps me strong in a place so wicked. I thought our time together ended when we were seventeen. Until I see her in purgatory. Only to learn the real fight has just begun. My Review I have been anxiously awaiting Aziel's story. So, you can imagine my delight when January finally gave us this book. She did not let me down. She de...

Book Review: Court of Heathens

Image
  There are many things that go bump in the night, and I am one of them. Witches are supposed to be good, powerful, and omniscient, but unluckily for me, I seem to lack all of those qualities. I have been battling the darkness that lives within me since birth, destined to eradicate goodness from our world, but one day, I have no choice but to embrace who and what I am. In order to stop the destruction of the world as we know it, I must put my trust in not only myself, but also my unlikely companions. When all is said and done, and all that is left is dust, can I go back to how I was, or will I be lost in the shadows forever? Welcome to the Court of Heathens, where darkness conquers all. My Review I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Everything from the SPICE to the witty BANTER. This book did hit that monster romance spot that I have. I found that this was a quick read for me.  Freya may not be very good at using her magic as she did conjure up quite a few "oops" monsters but it w...

Book Review: Safe With Me

Image
  I ran from danger and landed here in Kelly Lakes hoping to put my past behind me. I didn’t expect to almost faint into the arms of a cop upon arrival. You know the type. The one with the heart of gold and bedroom eyes. Mike is also seven years my junior… and my new boss’s son. It doesn’t matter if our chemistry is immediately undeniable. Or if I catch him watching me with pure yearning on his handsome face. I’m not looking for a relationship after what I just survived. Good thing Mike swears up and down he doesn’t believe in true love. Except he goes out of his way to protect me, to understand me. To keep  me  safe every time I feel afraid. He’s chasing away the dark shadows that linger, even in this idyllic town. But as our electrifying passion burns hotter, the danger I thought I’d escaped returns leaving me with an impossible choice. Stay with the man I’m falling helplessly in love with or leave to keep  him  safe? My Review If you love age gap, slow burn r...
