The mad priest gave me everything.

To plot.
To plan.

Mercedes Mondego sold me into hell, leading me to the altar like a sheep to a cliff’s edge.
Every thread I place on the board will wrench together and lead me back to her. Oh, but I’m done with love, and there is nothing left in me except an animal.
The mad priest gave me everything to exact my revenge.

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

This story starts with tossing you right into the story and then things are explained as it goes on. Let me tell you there were so may NO Way and Oh that makes since now moments in this book. It was kind of nice being left in the dark and not knowing until it was time.

Mercy had to do a lot of manipulating to get were she was today. Now there is someone in town that is slowly taking everything she has away from her. She is learning what it is like to be manipulated. There is a new guy in town and he shows no mercy just takes what he wants. He is on a mission to get revenge on all those who have wronged him in the past and that means Mercy too. Mercy has not idea who the Count really is but he knows more about Mercy than she could ever guess.

This is a great plot and there were twists I never saw coming. I have to say the instant connection Mercy and Will have is scorching.

Received a copy of the audio version from the author for an honest review.

Colton has built his career and reputation as being a prominent businessman. What many do not know is he is an owner of a sex club and if this ever got out it would ruin his reputation. Aly is a journalist who needs a big break to get her career started.

Aly may just get her big shot when Colton walks into the flower shop she works at. The chemistry is explosive between these two from the moment Colton came into the flower shop. When Aly finds out who Colton is, she wants to know more about him and his company. Colton finds himself infatuated with Aly and has to get to know her. This is a short read (about 3 hours on audio) and I don’t want to give much away. Colton has to have her but it maybe the end of his reputation.

The narration was well done. He went from each characters POV without pulling me from the story. This is a cliff hanger where both Colton and Aly are taking a gamble. All I need to know is will he get the girl or will the girl ruin his reputation to jump start her career and if he does get the girl how will she handle his dark side. I’m about to find out downloading Risky Pleasures next.

What could have been the perfect childhood, turned into a hell that the devil himself would shy away from. I was forced to deal with an evil that would make the darkest of souls cringe.
Lily Noel was scarred but beautiful. She was perfectly flawed and everything that I needed.

Passion bordered on ecstasy.

Oh Lucas I have waited so long for your and Lily’s story. You have no idea how happy my heart is that Lucas finally opened up and let JM tell his story. I have been there with you from the beginning. I have loved you as long as JM has. Yes, I fell in love with him from the first time I read about him and was thrilled when JM started writing their story.  Let me tell you Lucas story was well worth the wait.

I knew Lucas was going to have a troubled past but man I had no idea it was this troubled. Oh Lucas, I wanted to hug you and protect your while you were a child. The torcher and torment you went threw broke my heart.

Lily you are so spunky and sassy. I fell in love with you as much as I did Lucas. The instant connection that Lucas had to Lily was incredible and you both have kindred spirits. The way Lily accepted Lucas exactly how is was made my heart so happy because he deserved to have that unconditional love he never had.

I’m just going to toss this in here I LOVE Lilly’s Grandma. She is so sassy but insightful and knew just what to say when it was needed. Can I say Lucas Computer room was unforgettable and is a computer geeks dream. Not only did the computer room amaze me but Lucas and Lily’s ability to hack was mind blowing. Lucas is gruff and an asshole at times but when Lily is around, he has a sweet side but let’s not tell Lucas I said that. The tattoos the two of them did was absolutely heartwarming.

I was so excited to read this story and my love for Lucas and Lily grew 100 times more. The twists and turns had me hanging on. This truly is an amazing story of shattered souls who find the one that can make them whole again.

I received this book for an honest review.

I have enjoyed all of Kylie’s books so far. She was able to keep me guessing and had me needing to find out who was behind everything. I did like the banter and humor she was able to pack into this book.

Betty is fed up with her boring lonesome life with her husband. He is not spontaneous and has to leave her to for his job.  She had decided to make a change and leave Thom. However, the day she decides to leave is the day her world is turned upside down.  Not everything is as it seams you can never believe what your eyes see or what you think you know. This is the day Betty finds out her life with Thom has been nothing but lies.

Thom needed a cover and being a normal average joe with a fiancé was the perfect cover. He never dreamed that by having Betty as his cover life would put her life in danger. But now he finds himself on the run with Betty trying to figure out who is trying to kill them.  Now that Betty knows the truth Thom is determined to make Betty see even if their relationship was based on a lie what he feels for her is real.

I have to say this was a good suspense romance. I so wanted to know who the person was behind everything and why they were doing this. This had violence, action and suspense but it also had humor.  Betty cracked me up with some of her thoughts and how she would sort through everything that was happening around her.  The twist and turns kept all of them on their toes even me. This was entertaining and as I read this story it was like a movie unfolding.

I have been waiting for this book. Rytsar is my favorite of all the Doms and we finally get his story. We are able to see what all has happened in Rytsar’s life that makes him the man he is today.

Rytsar had a hard life growing up that he had to overcome. As a collage student in the US he finds 2 friends who become a life line for him. They are always there for each other to help them through what ever is going on in their life. We are finally told the entire story of what happened between him and Samantha that life changing event day. All I can say is this absolutely broke me to see how She destroyed him. I loved seeing Rytsars mom she has a heart of gold here again seeing what happens to her sends Rytsar over the edge. The only one that could possibly help him is his blood brother, Thane.

I like seeing Thane, Brad and Rytsar together the bond they share is amazing. They are all alpha but have totally different ways of projecting this. Rytsar’s story made my heart blead everything that he had to endure. I enjoyed seeing him wield his cat o’ nines. I enjoyed getting glimpses into the younger years of the Dom’s but most of all it was a way to see how they came into the BDSM lifestyle and how they became the men they are today. Thank you Red Phoenix for sharing their story with us.
