Hades (Guardians Book 5)

Being the lord of dark, terrifying things makes Hades the most feared god in existence. He’s also the most bored. When the guardians request his assistance, he is quick to grant it and make his way to the human realm. After all, creating havoc is what he does best. When his path crosses with a beautiful female, he finds her honesty refreshing, making his desire burn hotter. It’s when she summons him for a favor that he will finally get to name his terms.

When tall, dark and oh-so-sexy walks into her store, Mia suddenly finds herself marked by a god. Saddled with a curse that rips her world apart on a nightly basis, she decides bargaining with Hades to remove it might prove beneficial. Of course, requesting a favor from the lord of the Underworld comes with a huge price. Namely thirty days in Hell as his guest.

Hades is only out for some fun, but Mia isn’t playing his games. She intends to get through her agreement despite the yearning she feels for him. Problem is, the longer they are together the more she begins to see beyond the lord of evil to the troubled man beneath. Now she must decide if he is worthy of the only thing she has left to give.

Goodreads

I received this book from an honest review.

**Clapping** Oh man!!  Hades!!  I was super psyched to get this book.  I love his cool, casual, arrogant self.  I love how he is a bad guy but he isn’t really a bad guy….I mean Anti-Hero all the way right??!!  He is the Lord of the Underworld after all so he does do SOME bad things.

Mia is a typical human just trying to survive these dark days on Earth.  She is trying to help humans and trying to just live while praying the Guardians can end the war with Lowan.  When she meets Hades, he thinks she is just fun time head never knowing what his brother Zarek has planned for him.

I totally loved this storyline.  I enjoyed what Hades does to move the story of the missing Phoenix along while also realizing he wants more than JUST the Underworld.  His desire for Mia makes him want to be better but also fear, much like our other heroes, he is not worthy of her purity and light.

I seriously don’t know what book I want next???  I think as of right now I am praying it is Aiyden’s book because after what happened to him, he needs to claim his mate plus claim his fated title.

Meant to Be: a Perfect Fit short story

Alison Bliss returns with a novella in her popular Perfect Fit series. These laugh-out-loud romantic comedies feature curvaceous heroines finding love and convincing us that confident and sexy comes in all shapes and sizes.

“Fans of Jennifer Weiner will enjoy Bliss.”
—Booklist

Sidney Larson always thought dark-haired, blue-eyed Brett Carmichael was sinfully sexy, to say nothing of the muscular mechanic’s talent with his hands. But Sidney so didn’t have time for Brett’s overbearing tendencies when they were together so she broke things off. Now a chance encounter brings Brett back into her life, and Sidney can’t help but notice intriguing changes in her ex. So what’s stopping her from revisiting their scorching-hot chemistry?

Since Sidney dumped him, Brett’s made major life adjustments, thanks to therapy and a long, hard look at himself. Sure, he’s still intense but he knows how to focus his energy on his career, not on trying to control a fantastic woman like Sidney. Brett finds the sweet, generous brunette more seductive than ever, but now that he’s finally worthy of her, will she be willing to give him a second chance?

I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

Oh man!!  I was super excited to see over the top and overly controlling Brett get a novella.

He made things between Valerie and Logan super difficult so I liked seeing him crawl a little bit until…well dang it…..until I saw how sad he was without Sidney.

This novella is a quick but hilarious read between Brett and Sid.  These two are so in love but Brett’s issues got in the way of their relationship.  A new and improved Brett has crossed paths with Sidney, and he is all about showing her the new man he is.

I loved seeing him try to deal with seeing her dating and the guy she is dating….lol but I really loved Valerie playing matchmaker between the two knowing they needed a little push to finally admit how they feel.   What I loved most about Sid is her fear of not being attractive enough for the man she loves.  What woman doesn’t have insecurities???  She totally could be me or you.  Which this is a quality I love about Alison’s writing.  She writes real life people and real life issues we all have to deal with.

If you are a fan of the series, you will not be disappointed in the love story between the two.

Alison Bliss is a best-selling, award-winning author of humorous, contemporary romances. A born and raised Texan, she currently resides in the Midwest with her husband, two kids, and their dogs. As the youngest of five girls, she has never turned down a challenge or been called by the right name. Alison believes the best way to find out if someone is your soul mate is by canoeing with them because if you both make it back alive, it’s obviously meant to be. She writes the type of books she loves to read most: fun, steamy love stories with heart, heat, and laughter. Something she likes to call, “Romance…with a sense of humor.”

#REVIEW – Hard Bargain: MMF Bisexual Ménage Romance (Best Friends to Lovers Book 8) by Kat Crimson

Leave a comment

It’s Maya again. Yes, I’m still a sexaholic. Just ask my two boyfriends, Max and Foster.

And Foster’s band mates. You can ask them too, seeing as how I just slept with all of them. Together. Well, maybe the term ‘slept with’ is misleading. It was more of a shared girlfriend, extreme bondage situation… at an underground sex club… in front of witnesses. And I loved every dirty second of it.

So yeah, you could definitely say I’m an addict.

Instead of a twelve step program, I’m giving way into temptation and going on tour with The Infidels, my very own sexy male harem fantasy. I want to be there to witness their imminent rise to rock-stardom, while feeding my addiction.

Everything is going to be just perfect! All I need to do is keep my heart safe from Pace. No big deal…

Too bad that sexy beast has other plans. Plans that include one very hard bargain.

** This Is A Smoking Hot Reverse Harem Contemporary Romance / Reverse Harem Menage MM (and includes highly graphic scenes of an adult nature, including mm bisexual romance) If you can’t handle this type of heat, stay out of Maya’s kitchen…

Twinsie Jo’s Review

I am obsessed with this series. So I was happy to find out that book 8 was finally available. But of course, it’s left me hanging and chomping at the bit for book 9. Anyone else in love with Pace? Just me? Okay.

So Foster is getting ready to go on tour with his band but Max can’t join him and Maya. He knows Maya will be well taken care of, literally, but it’s still hard for them.

This book/series is insanely hot. If you like reverse harem type stories, then I highly recommend it.

And again, Pace! I can’t wait for book 9!

Demon's Destiny (Guardians Book 4)

Famed for his cocky attitude and womanizing lifestyle, Baal likes to make his own rules. But being the most powerful demon in Hades’ army comes with a steep price. Namely, a command to mate with the human he is bound to protect. When the lord of the Underworld reveals the female’s true identity, Baal vows he will never love her. Even though she may destroy him, he soon discovers it’s a promise he might not be able to keep.

When her sibling goes missing, Ranata finds herself at the mercy of those who intend to make her Hell’s next sacrifice. With the world embraced in the wrath of a power-hungry demigod, and a sister now in his clutches, she discovers she is not fully human and now must face the biggest challenge of her life. Mating a demon is an insane idea, but she will do anything to save her sister. Falling in love with him might be even crazier.

Goodreads

I received this book from an honest review.

OH Baal!!! I have been so excited to read you and you did not let me down!!  I didn’t know why you were such a man-whore and why you refused to let love in even when Hades said he HAND PICKED you for Ranata buuuuut then when we find out……sigh……

Ranata, talk about being thrown in to chaos!!  You met Baal and thought he was a big player but had no clue about what he would end up being to you in the future and eternity.

I am loving this series.  I love how each book is woven together and how each story line has twists I so don’t even see happening.  The story of Ranata and her sister had me stunned and loving the mix of fae in the story line.

Seeing Baal, like all the other men, stunned they are given a chance at a mate and seeing the internal struggle they must deal with and conquer is great.  Ranata is just like the other mates we have met in the other books.  She is sassy and feisty and will not take it from their mate.

I love this book and am so excited for Lucas and Sabin.   Swear each book sets up more future couples that will keep me tuned into the series because I need to know what will happen and if Lowan will ever be defeated!!

Goodreads

I purchased this book.

GAH!!  I finished book 2 and legit started to read book 3.   I was so excited for Seth story.  He is super broody and grumpy but after hearing about his creation….poor dude.  To carry around the memories of all the people you drink from AND you are 1,000 years old.  UHM Hard Pass!!!  T say I understand his needs to “get out of is own head” is an understatement.  To say I GOT why he did the things he did to numb his brain, it totally understandable.  To say I felt bad for his fear of accepting a mate and growing to care and love her not knowing if he would become horrible monster…..again I get.  The dudes been through A LOT!!!

Katie is a human caught in an immortal world…or is she.  The story of Katie and her “family” was interesting.  I loved seeing her struggle with all the “NEW” parts of her but also with this whole “Mating” business.  To be a successful, independent women who now has this grumpy man pushing you away but also needing him in your life is a hard pill to swallow.  There were times the story kinda drug on because the fighting and the pushing away between the two characters started to make me metal but once they FINALLY give in and accepted it 110% all is right with the world.

I enjoyed this story and the build up for the next few books…Baal is going to be a hoot, Aiyden made me GASP a bit when we finally get confirmation on his mate, and do I dare think Gwen has a love interest???

I am curious about the actual story behind the Phoenix rising because he seems like WHEN he wakes up, things are going to be changing and for the better??!!!

#NewRelease – Not a Hero (Sons of the Survivalist #1) by Cherise Sinclair

Not a Hero (Sons of the Survivalist, #1)

In the Alaska wilderness, four streetwise boys became men—and brothers

Now the crazy ex-military survivalist who plucked Gabriel and three other boys from an abusive foster care home has died. But the sarge leaves them a final mission–to revive the dying town of Rescue.

Gabe is done with being a hero.

Wounded in body and soul, the retired SEAL simply wants to remain holed up in his isolated cabin. He sure doesn’t want to be chief of police in some defunct town. But he has his orders.

Audrey needs a place to hide

After the Chicago librarian discovers a horrendous crime, she wakes to an assassin in her bedroom. Injured and terrified, she flees, covering her trail every inch of the way. New name, new ID. New home. As Audrey learns to survive in Rescue, she begins to fall for the town…and the intimidating chief of police who protects it.

Can the shy introvert and the deadly police chief find a life together?

Despite the discord in town, Gabe is finding his own peace…with the quiet young woman who seems to have no past. She’s adorable and caring and so very lost. But how can he trust someone who lies to him with every breath she takes?

Cherise Sinclair is my go to author when I want a satisfying read. Heat, emotion, suspense. She’s got it all.  ~ NYT Bestselling author Lexi Blake

Goodreads

I received this book from an honest review.

**Clapping** Oh man!!  I was so excited for this new series and it did not disappoint.

Meeting the guys in the Shadowlands book with Z was a great introduction of the boys for us.  I gotta say Gabe and Hawk are the ones who I was wondering baout but Bull and Caz are just hilariously funny.  I can’t wait for the rest of the series.

This book was a perfect blend of characters.  Gabe is Mr. Anti-Social and Audrey/Julie is a “nerd” who has been lead to believe she isn’t anything special or worthwhile.  Seeing the two open up and form an amazing bond even under the guise of it being “Just One Night” was so angsty.

Gabe is so cool, calm and collected and once he knows Audrey/Julie’s backstory he is all in to keep her.  Audrey is so scared to open-up because she doesn’t want another death on her hands while hiding out from the bad guys.  When she finally opens-up to Gabe and her friends we know it’s not the end…… The story of Audrey/Julie on the run was great to read.  Seeing her desire to be in Chicago but falling for the small town charm and the heartbreak she was in about her future.

The story of the crazy religious cult is obviously going to be an issue in the next book or two.  I can’t wait to see what brother is going to be next…..Caz or Hawk.  I mean I wanna see the payer settle down but Hawk needs to be loved.  He has some serious ice walls that need to be broken down!!!

Whenever I ask for BDSM recommendations, I am told the same two words all the time: Cherise Sinclair. ~ Under the Covers Reviews

Authors often say their characters argue with them. Unfortunately, since Cherise Sinclair’s heroes are Doms, she never, ever wins.

A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, she’s renowned for writing heart-wrenching romances with laugh-out-loud dialogue, devastating Dominants, and absolutely sizzling sex. And did I mention the BDSM? Her awards include a National Leather Award, Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice nomination, and Best Author of the Year from the Goodreads BDSM group.

Fledglings having flown the nest, Cherise, her beloved husband, and one fussy feline live in the Pacific Northwest where nothing is cozier than a rainy day spent writing.

Dragon's Fate (Guardians Book 2)

One touch will prove fatal.

Caleb is dark, hot, and commanding in human form. As a dragon, he’s a force to be reckoned with. When he witnesses the slave Lileta being beaten by his Overlord Odage, he nearly comes unglued. Without understanding why, he asks to take Lileta as his own, but soon realizes his longing is more than an attraction to a beautiful woman. In a sick twist of fate, the gods have given him a demon as his mate—one he can never touch unless he wishes his own death.
His only choice is to grant her freedom.

Abducted as a teen, and later purchased by a dragon Overlord, Lileta’s venomous touch remains her only safeguard as a slave. When the demon’s rebellious nature brings about a brutal punishment, Caleb steps in and takes her as his own. As if having the sexy dragon save the day isn’t bad enough, she soon realizes they are destined to be together.
Mating is out of the question.

The abduction of a goddess intertwines their paths once again, spiraling them to the brink of passion. Unable to resist their fatal desire, the two must trust fate and hope they don’t destroy each other.

This book formerly published as Fatal Desire. Revised 2nd edition.

Goodreads

I purchased this book.

From the second I started this book I KNEW I was not going to be able to put it down.  OMG the angst and stress of these two.   I mean to be destined to someone who you can’t really have…..ANGST soooo hardcore!!

I loved and pitied Lileta in the last book.  I wanted her to be reunited with her brother, Baal, after her freeing Marcus.  She risked so much for the Guardian’s with no real hope of surviving.  When I saw she was going to be mated with Caleb in this book I was excited because Caleb seemed like such a great character who was just following his friend …unfortunately his friend was not such a great guy to follow.

Caleb and Lileta are both drawn to each other but know there is no way the can consummate their relationship because of the kind of demon she is.  But we all wonder WHY the Gods would be so cruel.   As the story starts to unfold and we see the God’s explaining WHY this mating must happen …it was such a great read.  The banter between the two characters was hilarious especially when they are pushing each other away. However, Caleb asking the Guardian’s for womanly advise was the best especially when Cassie stepped in to help.  The history and backstory between the 2 characters and their families was amazing.  At one point when one of their family lineages is told I was floored!!!

This book has soooo many twists and turns plus the set up for book 3 is started and I CAN NOT WAIT to dive in.

#WOTR2019Attending #Review #MC #Hell’sHarlem Catch (Hell’s Harlem MC 3) by JM Walker

Leave a comment

Catch by J.M. Walker

Loss. Passion. Rage. Love.

It started the moment she left me.

Submission. Wrath. Savage. Resentment.

She rejected me when I needed her most.

My walls were up. My life was lonely. My world was dark.
I opened up to her and gave her every piece of me only to have her rejection slap me in the face. I needed her. I wanted her. But hated her just the same. After years of giving myself to others, she falls back into my life when I least expected it. With so many years between us, we fell back into an easy routine. She was no longer the girl I had fallen in love with, but a woman who was running from her demons only to land in the arms of a monster…

Goodreads

Amazon

 I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book.

So, having read the other books from the Hell’s Harlem Series I thought that I knew what Catch was gonna be about.  Hot MC guy on guy action with some sort of killing mixed it, along with a few scenes of the guys in church. Catch had the hots from Greyson, was in love with Trey so of course finally he’s gonna get him a Hot MC Man of his own right, but I guess he could of found him a hot civilization too, either way it was time for the hotness that is Catch to find is HEA.

Boy did Walker totally freak my mind grapes with introducing Sara.  That’s right I said Sara, a female for the man that I thought was gonna give us some hot MM love.

Sara isn’t just any plain ole female, nope, nope, nope!!!    SHE’S HIS FREAKING FIRST LOVE THAT BROKE HIS HEART!!!!  Ummm, ok I’m calm sorry for the yelling, but dang Walker are you trying to give me a heart attack here???!!!!!

Walker takes us on a awesome journey to the past  to show us why Catch and Sara were no more, what happened to Sara since leaving Catch.  Sara’s life has not been a easy one and she’s trying to change that,  seeing Catch again isn’t something that she thought was gonna happen.  You can not have a story with a past love coming back with a present and hopefully a future and Walker gives us the present with Catch helping Sara and maybe a glimpse into the future, I’m gonna zip my lips on that one though you have to read it for yourself!!!

P.s.  to those of you that have been reading Walker for a while our favorite Sadist physiologist Santos!!!!!!  To those of you that are getting to see Dr. Santos for the first time here check out his book Beautiful Pain. 

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day

Honey Bear: A Kinship Cove Fun & Flirty Romance (Mates & Macarons Book 3)

Sometimes the happy in happily ever after is relative. Or related. Sort of. The third slice of sweetness from the Cake-ily Ever After bakery in Kinship Cove will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth.

I’m supposed to be the nice sister. The good one. The girl everyone can count on and who rallies the troops whenever one of us needs a little boost. I’m not supposed to be anything other than sweet. I’m not the one secretly pining for a man twice my age. A man who shifts into a bear at whim and runs the whole darn town with a calm sort of confidence never before seen in Kinship Cove. But I do pine. I pine hard.

And when I make bad decisions because of that, I become the sister with a burden bigger than she can carry.

And a secret.

What would you do if you needed money fast? What wouldn’t you do?

I won’t sell my body. So instead, I’ll sell the closest thing I can—to whoever has the right amount of cash.

And I’ll cross my fingers and hope the bear shifter who refuses to see me as anything other than sweet never finds out.

HONEY BEAR is the latest paranormal romance from USA Today bestselling author Ellis Leigh. The story is part of the Shifters In Love: Fun & Flirty world but is a standalone romance with wit, snark, and more than just flirting.

Goodreads

Honey Bear: A Kinship Cove Fun & Flirty Romance (Mates & Macarons #3) by Ellis Leigh

I purchased this book from Amazon.

I love love love the paranormal world that Elis creates in all of her stories.  She makes me laugh and love each and every characer.

This book is about sweet human Madeline/Maddy who is crazy in love with the town mayor and bear shifter Jericho.  The history of the two is long and intertwined to the point that Jericho calls himself Maddy’s uncle…ewwwww.  However, when Maddy grows up Jericho no longer wants to her uncle but her lover because the fates have made her is mate.

Jericho needed to a good kick in the pants because he was being an idiot and I loved the naughty Fox who helped him see he was missing a good thing by denying is mate, Maddy.

Maddy has given up on Jericho and also started a side business that ….welll…..isn’t traditional but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do right???

I loved the scene when Jericho finds out about Maddy’s little side business, but I really loved seeing Maddy stand up to Jericho’s enemy and let everyone know this little human is not so sweet after all!!

I so want to read the rest of the books in the series because all the characters cracked me up so I imagine their books are just as funny.

A storyteller from the time she could talk, USA Today bestselling author Ellis Leigh grew up among family legends of hauntings, psychics, and love spanning decades. Those stories didn’t always have the happiest of endings, so they inspired her to write about real life, real love, and the difficulties therein. From farmers to werewolves, store clerks to witches—if there’s love to be found, she’ll write about it. Ellis lives in the Chicago area with her husband, daughters, and a German Shepherd that refuses to leave her side.

#NewRelease #Revew #MontgomeryInk #Contemporary #1001DarkNights Ashes to Ink (Montgomery Ink Colorado Springs 2.5) by Carrie Ann Ryan

Leave a comment

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan comes a new story in her Montgomery Ink series…

Back in Denver, Abby lost everything she ever loved, except for her daughter, the one memory she has left of the man she loved and lost. Now, she’s moved next to the Montgomerys in Colorado Springs, leaving her past behind to start her new life.

One step at a time.

Ryan is the newest tattoo artist at Montgomery Ink Too and knows the others are curious about his secrets. But he’s not ready to tell them. Not yet. That is…until he meets Abby.

Abby and Ryan thought they had their own paths, ones that had nothing to do with one another. Then…they took a chance.

On each other.

One night at a time.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.*

 

 I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book.

Abby lost the love of her life too soon, they didn’t get to get married and he didn’t get to see their child born.  Yet, she knows he’s still there and does her best to instill in their daughter the love that he had for her.  She is moving on with her life of running her business and raising her daughter and is slowly learning that is ok to ask for help. Well, slowly learning because the Montgomery family has added her to their ever growing brood and telling her daily that it’s ok. Lol

Ryan, is a artist at Montgomery Ink Too.  He has a hard time letting anyone in too, but for a totally different reason.  He is attracted to Abby, but will never act on it if he has his way.

You can’t stop fate though.

Ryan has once again shows us why she is a great author by giving us a couple with real world issues, instead of a couple who just has no problems what so ever, have a great love and live happily ever after.  Abby and Ryan want each other and have to deal with their obstacles before they can.

She also shows us that family is not always about the blood that runs through your veins, but about the love that is in your heart and that is what the Montgomery family is all about.
