Audiobook Review: Kneeling for Daddy

Image
  NIKOLAI We built this empire with blood and brutality. We don’t answer to anyone. We’re untouchable. Or at least, we were–until someone dug deep enough to find the secrets that could burn it all to the ground. The price of their silence? A marriage that merges their dynasty with ours. I don’t want a wife–especially not Ani Sargsyan, the spoiled mafia princess with a sharp mouth and hatred for everything I am. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my family and what we’ve built, even if it means putting a ring on her finger… And a leash around her throat. She doesn’t have to love me. She just has to learn how to obey—like a good little pet. ANI I was never supposed to be part of this deal, but my brother has other plans–trading me off like property for the sake of his ambition. I don’t want this life. I definitely don’t want him–Nikolai King. Cold-blooded, merciless, and determined to control me. He thinks he can own me. Break me. Bend me to his rules. We clash at every turn—hate-l...

Image
  Don’t miss the sexy and emotional small-town cowboy romance from  USA Today  bestselling author Laura Pavlov, with bonus content you can only read in this deluxe print edition.

Book Review: The More the Merrier

Image
  HER Every good bedtime story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. But this one? It started in the middle— The middle of the woods. The middle of the night. The middle of nowhere. The kind of place where no one could hear you scream… unless they wanted to. And trust me, the nine shadowy figures watching me through the window? They wanted to hear everything. They didn’t come bearing gifts. They came bearing hunger. They weren’t the only ones ready to play reindeer games, though. I might’ve been caught, cold, and cornered… but I’d always had a soft spot for holiday chaos. Even if the odds were stacked against me. Because, baby, I don’t just handle a challenge. I f*ck it raw and ask for seconds. The more the merrier. THEM The cabin was supposed to be empty. A safehouse. Instead, we found her. All curves and fire and just begging to be unwrapped. A real Christmas miracle. She didn’t scream. She smiled. She didn’t beg us to let her go. She dared us to keep her. And what was more fest...

Book Review: His Trick

Image
  I went to the Harding Hunt for my girlfriend Xanthy—her warmth, her light, the only tether keeping me from the darkness of my past. But in the masked chaos of the corn maze, I met her brother. Carrington. His golden eyes behind the mask, are ruthless, hunting me like I was the prey. Every dark corner he forces me into submission. A heat I hate. A need I can’t control. He makes me question everything I thought I was. Now every touch, every glance, every moment he steals makes me ache and tremble, torn between the light I cling to and his darkness I can’t escape. The Harding Hunt isn’t a game. It’s who we are. The masks, the chase, the thrill of fear in the maze. it feeds my desire to control, to chase and to own. But the new shiny toy in my playground this year feeds me more. He thought being my sisters boyfriend made him untouchable. He thought he could walk into our world without consequence. He was wrong. From the moment I saw him under those floodlights, I knew I’d strip him d...

Book Review: Slay

Image
  “What the fuck are you?” “I could ask you the same thing.” “Blake.” I grin. The thing has spunk, I’ll give it that. “What’s a Blake?” “Just Blake. Living as a human, for now.” “Jenni, fae fish assassin.” When Jenni is sent to Blake as an act of revenge, she doesn't expect to find her next target in Blake's most prized possession. As Jenni plots the demise of her latest foe and gets to know its owner, Jenni must choose between her heart and her calling. Slay is book 14 in the Kyleverse, a series of sentient object romance short stories. Kyle isn’t the main character, but he shows up to help the plot in one way or another. The stories are sequential but can be read as standalones. Slay is a sentient object romance with explicit material. It is intended for 18+ readers. My Review As soon as I met Blake, I was in love with him. I have encountered many assassins, but this is my first time meeting a fish assassin. I laughed at Jenni and Blake's first meeting. Kudos to Jenni for...

Audiobook Review: A Very Hailey Holiday

Image
  It's Christmas and Hailey is headed to Montana with her friends Kelsey and Lexi. After a roller coaster of a semester, Hailey is hoping the mountain air will bring about rest and relaxation. Instead, snow, parents and three guys turn their quiet mountain Christmas into an unforgettable adventure. A Very Hailey Holiday  is the second book in an interconnected standalone, new adult contemporary romance series. This is an open-door romance with a guaranteed HFN ending. My Review Casey Montgomery brings the audiobook to life with her voice. She did a great job of voicing all of the characters. I had read this book but to listen to the audiobook was like experiencing the story all over again. So, if you are an audiobook lover, you are going to want to listen to this one. It was fun to visit with Hailey, Kelsey, and Lexi. I did not realize how much I missed these three until I read this book. It was nice to see Hailey, Lexi, and Kelsey let loose and have fun. Lexi became my favori...
