  Dark romantasy featuring a true 'enemies-to-lovers-sharing-one-bed' forced marriage. Will I conquer the Dragon Prince of Destruction and make him my warrior, or will I share the dark fate of his past murdered brides? I just wanted to spend my life rescuing children from human blood farms and vampire courts. Until the father of all vampires and his son, Neoptolemus, the Prince of Destruction, destroyed my home and family. Now, it’s time for some righteous revenge. When the Mother Goddess offers me my revenge on a gold platter in the form of a magical Halo, I take it. I will embrace this heavenly hula hoop with its star-fire power, become Neo's bride, and share his bed. I will learn his weaknesses and then kill him. I'm sure it's just an urban legend that he can turn into a dragon. Did I mention how the Prince is sex-on-a-vampire-stick and just my type? If only he wasn't a bloodthirsty warrior who destroys all his brides. The Halo doesn't get the hint! I kee...

Please note: This story has content that may be triggering to some, including but not limited to: sexual assault, drug use, and violence. Please read responsibly. My Review OMG. I am not crying, you are crying. I did not realize just how emotionally attached I would become to Dougie and Jellyfish. Yolonda shows you that not every story has to be romantic or have an HEA to be very impactful. A must read. Grab your tissues.  Dougie aka Toad and Betty Jo aka Jellyfish have known each other s...

  A dark, steamy, mafia romance, sizzling with heat when the stalked … stalks back. AXEL is my hot d*ckhead boss who stalks me. I know. He’s arrogant. Powerful. Evil. But those eyes. So, I stalked him back, and that’s when I discovered… He’s the escaped heir to a criminal empire. A dark prince. The head of a secret society of vigilante mafia kings. I spied on their taboo ex-Bratva rituals. I know their dark secret, how they initiate their queens. And he busted me. Now, Axel says he owns me. He makes me stay with him … or else. Or fall in love with my sinful stalker? Or become the mafia queen to the son of the most dangerous man in the world? Author’s note: AXEL is a standalone, dark, not-mafia-mafia romance set in a world of taboo traditions, biting banter, morally grey heroes in a band of brothers with some heavy themes, and very explicit scenes. This is an 18+, interconnected romance with a guaranteed HEA. My Review I love Axel. Sorry, Nash but Axel edged you out just slightly. Y...

He sees through the cracks and into the heart that still beats beneath the pain. His touch is dominant and unwavering, always pushing me to face what I fear the most. Will our love break through the walls I built, or will I only ever be pretty in lace? This is a dark romance with HEAVY TRIGGERS. Reader's discretion is HIGHLY ADVISED! My Review If you have not read a book by Emily, you need to be aware that she writes with heavy themes. The FMC has usually gone through very traumatic events. They can be rough but just know that the FMCs come out of the situations stronger and survivors.  In the case of Sofie, she...

It is sure to get you hot under the collar.  When Henry glanced at Bex the first time that she walked into his class, I felt his stare. Things from there quickly escalated.

  I’m called to torture demons for information. Anything to find out who the new queen of Hell is for a ruthless demon I’m trapped in a bargain with. But my soul is out there too. A soul that’s made for me. A soul that will fix my broken parts, my madness. I’ve found it before but I’ve never been worthy to call it mine. I’ve found my soul again. This could be the one. She’s almost too perfect but nothing will keep me from her. My demons and I will protect her from anything. This is it Eleanor. I’ve got you. My Review I like the soulmate angle. I felt the strong connection between Eleanor and Owen. While Owen is to be feared, I really liked when he would transport into a crow and leave Eleanor little trinkets to show how much he liked her.  The slow progression of Eleanor realizing what she was destined to become was nice. I liked seeing her grow and change. The more time that Owen and Eleanor spent together the stronger their bond grew.  Readers looking for your next Shad...

  Enzo We tore down every mafia family who dared to challenge us. Now we reign over this city. The three of us—Italian, Irish, and Bratva—are bound by the blood we shed. Nothing will stop us from building the empire we’ve dreamed of… except her. Eavan O’Brien, the forbidden little sister of my best friend, who I never expected to care about. She’s meant to hate me, but I can’t shake the way she looks at me—defiant, beautiful, and the need to tame her far too tempting. Eavan I never asked for this life—rescued from the prison my father locked me in, only to be thrown into another when my brother abducts me. Imprisoned by him and his mafia buddies—men I’ve been taught to hate. They think they can control me, but I refuse to bow down to them—especially Enzo. He’s brutal, commanding, and there’s a fire in his eyes that promises to destroy my defiance. I’m determined not to let him break me… Until I find myself bent over his knee with him growling in my ear, “Tell Daddy you’re sorry.” I...

  Toby never really left. They buried him. They burned the house. They did what they could to erase him, but he came back…just for me. I feel him every moment. I’m his. Every fiber of my soul screams for him. My brother. My twin. He tells me I’m beautiful when I ache. He calms the pain when my body trembles beneath him, desperate, ready to surrender to him. Only him The others don’t understand. They cry. They scream. They try to take me away, but I won’t go. I won’t let them have me, not when Toby fills me with the only thing I crave. They say I’m sick. That I’m dangerous. But Toby says I’m perfect. And when he holds me, when his lips burn on mine, when his fingers sink into me, I know he’s right. His name is all I need. His touch is all I crave. This body. This skin. This love. It’s all just borrowed. My Review Tabitha aka Tabby has experienced a very traumatic ordeal. The aftermath has left her a survivor with only her brother, Toby by her side.  How to describe this book af...
