The Torn Trilogy Box Set (Torn, #1-3)

Red (A Brett MacLean Duet)

Torn Trilogy –

From bestselling author, comes three full length novels, The Torn Trilogy, wrapped up in one boxset:

Possessed by You (Torn #1) Blurb:

Releasing control is relief…
I was warned about men like Brett Maclean.
He was dark and thrilling, intense and controlling. And he captivated me from the very start. He unleashed something inside of me like no other. His bad rep and troubled past drew me to him like gasoline feeding a flame.
With just one taste, I felt the danger in him, the uncontrollable power that left me breathless. The passion consumed me. Fast and hard.
Temptation couldn’t guard my heart. I should have known a man of such raw and wild desires came with competition.

Revealed by You (Torn #2) Blurb:

The sharp edge of love…
Brett MacLean was possessive. Even more since I became his. He was my desire…my ultimate pleasure…he was mine.
As each day passed, he revealed a part of himself that had lain dormant. A broken childhood. A troubled man. One I was determined to help.
After months together, I thought I knew him. But soon realized I was wrong. His dark secrets were only the beginning. The past was more disturbing than I ever could have fathomed.
His deep seeded need for me came with a price that could have consequences. I needed him just as much. Because of this, we would be tested. My greatest fear was that it would take us beyond the limits of our love.

Perfected by You (Torn #3) Blurb:

An all-consuming need…
Evvie Neal was my addiction. The love I felt for her controlled me and it brought me to my knees. She was my one. My only.
Destroyed as a boy, healed as a man, she was my saving grace. The first person who knew the real me. Because of her, I became stronger. Whole. A true warrior in my own personal Hell.
As time went on, demons from my past haunted me, threatening to ruin what I had worked so hard to become. Strong.
The ultimate sacrifice was giving up a piece of myself to be perfect. For her.

 

Red Duet –

It started without trust. Passion. Lust. An all-consuming need; that was all we had in the beginning.

Lies. Betrayal. Deceit. We moved past it all and fell in love anyway.
Over ten years later, with a family of our own, our little world was perfect. Happy.

But then that happiness faded away when she came into our lives.
No control. No power. Just heartbreak and unwanted submission.

We were forced to our knees at the sight of her. The words falling from her lips were like nails digging at our soul because we knew.

We would have to go through hell to get out of this.

And even then, I wasn’t sure if it would be enough.

He refuses to fall in love.
He was born alone and he will die alone. Or, at least he thought so until now.
Vice-One is all he knows. His squad. His brothers. The men he spends every day protecting. He is empty and only one person can fill this void. This darkness.
Meanwhile, Genevieve Gold makes it clear he should stay away when she is everything he craves.

She is lost.

King’s Harlots is all she has. Her club. Her sisters. Her life. But something is missing until he shows up.

Putting differences aside, they will work together to bring down a malevolent force threatening to rip them apart…

Book 2-

He wants to be alone.
Nightmares from his past keep him guarded and afraid.
Vice-One is his life. They’re his brothers—the only people who helped keep him out of his own head long enough to move on from the childhood he never asked for.

His therapy has been protecting his country, barely taking a break before beginning his next mission. But no amount of training can prepare him for his great challenge yet—convincing Meeka Cline that she will be his.

She wants out.
Her world fell apart when King’s Harlots no longer trusted her, but she continues to fight to gain back their respect.
All she wants is to help those wronged by the evil that has put a shadow on everyone she knows.
Asher Donovan comes to her for help when he needs her most only to have passion flare up between them. One problem: He’s her best friend.

Putting aside their friendship, they use the heat between them to please the depraved minds they now understand…

Book 3-

Vice-One had been what he needed most, until he met Genevieve Gold.

She can’t forget her past.
The walls she’d built are hard to break, even after falling in love with Angel Rodriguez.

She pretends to be happy.
Smile. Laugh. Repeat.

Waking up is the only way he can get back to Maxine Stanton while she does everything she can to push him away.

She hates him.
Every fiber of her being loathes the man she fell in love with but she can’t control her heart and wants him just the same.
When Dale Michaels finally wakes up, she realizes they need to end this once and for all, before it destroys them both.

When an unexpected source rips through what they’ve worked hard to maintain, only then do they realize the full potential of their love.

Book 6-
His demons are loud.
Held captive within his mind, he does everything he can to forget his life before Vice-One.
As one of the newest recruits, his main goal is to have his “brothers” trust him and he’ll do just about anything to make that happen. Until one passionate night with Creena Chan, the military was all he had.

She’s hiding from her past.
A trained professional, she keeps that part of her life to herself. The darkness weighs heavily on her chest, mixing with the beats of her heart, caused by the one man she tries to ignore. Vincent Stone is nothing like she imagined. Months of flirting lead to an explosion she never saw coming.

Only when Creena and Stone’s limits are tested, do they realize exactly what they will do to find that peace their family and friends deserve.

#WOTR19 #paranormal #Novella #NewRelease #Review – The Vampire’s Genie (The Wish Series Book 1) by Teresa Gabelman

Leave a comment

The Vampire's Genie (The Wish Series Book 1)

One would think most genies have it made, but that’s not the case for Janelle. She hates the outfit, hates the lamp, and overall hates the gig. It’s not until hot vampire Dean Frye steals her out from under her current master’s nose that she thinks maybe being a genie has its benefits.

Dean has one thing and one thing only on his mind when he sends his friend on a quest to seek out a genie lamp. Freedom. Plain and simple. Then he meets Janelle, his genie, and realizes that granting every wish her heart desires is the only wish he wants.

Goodreads

This was a cute and quick read for anyone with a couple hours to kill.

Dean is a vampire who doesn’t want to be a vampire anymore. How is he going to be un-vampired? By getting a genie in a lamp to do it. When Dean meets his genie he is stunned stupid by her beauty.
Janelle is annoyed to have yet another master who she is sure will be just as self-serving as the last own her. When she starts to get to know Dean and his friends, she realizes they are not the same. They are actually pretty different which makes her nervous.

Dean and Janelle have feelings pretty quickly given that this is a novella. The couple have to deal with her old master looking for her, what to do about the emotions they are feeling for each other and the Grand Master is none too thrilled by Dean and Janelle’s love connection.

Hilariously over the top dialogue which you totally expect from Teresa in her stories!!!

Leave a comment

Book 1 Finding Obscurity  Book 2 Finding Clarity

Book 3 Finding Lily

Book 4 To Ashes  Book 5Conjurer King

Book 1- Lily Canton always knew she was unique.

After she loses everything she has ever cared about ten years ago, Lily decides its time to find answers about her past and why she has special powers. But when you can’t control seeing the future, and you hold enough electricity inside you to black out an entire city block, it doesn’t always make life easy.

She swore she would never care about anyone ever again after that fateful day so long ago. Then she meets sexy club owner, Ashton Ryder. Lily can’t afford to fall for Ashton. Then there is handsome, powerful, Blake Moore, who wants to help her with more than just her powers. She has to learn to trust people and let them into her heart, even as things spiral out of control.

Not only does she learn Ashton has a secret that will make her question everything she ever thought was real, but Lily finds out that her birth parents are anything but ordinary. Just when Lily thinks she has everything figured out, someone is determined to destroy her – because she isn’t supposed to be alive.

Book 2- Half vampire, half conjurer, Lily Canton might be the most powerful creature on earth. That is, if she could control her powers. Hunted for her unique lineage, Lily must learn to harness her abilities and fight off those who would manipulate her for personal gain.

Haunted by the memories of her horrific kidnapping, Lily struggles with her return to normalcy. If, of course, being an out-of-control conjurer could ever be considered normal. Even her love life is a jumbled mess. Ashton, the sexy vampire who first stole her heart, claims her as his mate. Yet Lily can’t deny the electricity between her and gorgeous conjurer, Blake. Both men will stop at nothing to have her, but only Lily can decide to whom her heart truly belongs.

The men in Lily’s life aren’t her only problem though. Con, the vampire madman, is out there somewhere. He knows her secrets and he’s hell-bent on revenge. When she’s forced into hiding, tempers flare, boundaries are crossed, and love will be tested. But there’s no place to hide when Lily’s mind becomes the battlefield. Con invades her thoughts and dreams, tormenting her with a deal that could mean death. Do secrets have the power to kill? How far will Lily go to protect the ones she loves?

Book 3-Some secrets can drive life to the edge…

Lily Canton is a powerful vampire-conjurer hybrid, running from the pain of her best friend’s death. Though plagued by indecision over her choice to abandon everything, Lily dives head-first in to the covert organization that aided her in the past.

Even though his deception led to Lily’s abrupt departure, vampire Ashton Ryder is determined to make things right and to bring the love of his life home. But the truth could destroy them before Ashton has the chance to make amends. Conjurer Blake Moore wants nothing more than to find Lily and win her heart once and for all. But even Blake has secrets with the power to destroy. Blake must find Lily before his past does.

Unbeknownst to Lily, a storm is brewing with her at the center. Carefully buried secrets will be exposed, rocking the worlds of vampires and conjurers alike.

Will Lily choose the man she truly loves? Or will the rising conflict between conjurers and vampires tear them apart?

Book 4- TO ASHES is the fourth book in The Secrets Series:

There’s a thin line between love and hate…

Beautiful, dangerous, and deadly — some powers are both a gift and a curse. For conjurer Paige Smith, hers are both. Leaving behind a past scorched to ashes, Paige struggles to make peace with her destructive powers. But when sexy and callous Alistair Ryder crosses her path, sparks fly and passions ignite.

To dark and brooding vampire Alistair Ryder, emotions are for the weak. Burned by his own past, Alistair will do anything to keep the alluring, smart-mouthed conjurer at arm’s length. Even if it means facing his own demons.

When a common friend goes missing, the two must work together to find her. Emotions will be tested. Faith will be tried. And truths will be uncovered.

Both Paige and Alistair have secrets buried deep within their souls. Can they rise above the flames of their tattered pasts? Or will their love be reduced to ashes?

Book 5-CONJURER KING is the final book in The Secrets Series.

A man who sacrificed everything…

Blake Moore gave up his friends to take back the crown as the Conjurer King. Even though he is the rightful heir to the throne, he never wanted it. The conjurers consider the vampires inherently evil, as they’ve been enemies throughout their long history, but Blake doesn’t agree with those beliefs.

He’s successfully avoided his painful past for months, but Blake suddenly finds himself shoved back into it when he agrees to help a common friend; a vampire insane from starvation. As rumors spread questioning his competence as King, Blake is tossed in a whirlwind of corruption and treachery. Not only is he fighting to keep his position, but a woman who is fighting madness, slowly creeps into his heart.

A woman with a broken past…

Carlotta Brown is anything but sane. Her husband’s death, and subsequently the reason for her starvation, haunts her memories and dreams. She finds herself locked in another prison cell, only this time, it’s under the protection of a handsome man who should be her enemy.

A forbidden attraction…

Both Blake and Carlotta need saving from their own situations. When everything comes crashing around them, they each have to decide if love is worth risking their lives for. Will they help each other in the darkest hour? Or will their attraction lead to their demise?

#WOTR19 #MM #NewRelease #Review #Cowboys – His Reluctant Cowboy by A.D. Ellis

Leave a comment

His Reluctant Cowboy

Out-and-proud volunteer dance instructor, Reid Alexander, is a California boy accustomed to living in flashy luxury. He is less than thrilled upon inheriting his late grandfather’s South Dakota horse ranch. Yet he must endure three months of cowboy hell before he can even consider selling the property.
As the ranch foreman, Walker Corrigan’s entire life is Pine Ridge. When Reid arrives with cold-hearted plans to sell, Walker endeavors to endear the place to the younger man.
Reid is unprepared for the sudden attachment to Walker, the land, and – unbelievably enough – the horses.
Walker’s long-suffering heart takes an unexpected gallop straight toward Reid. Both men are on-board with exploring their relationship, and Reid discovers ranch ownership is more gratifying than he’d once imagined.
But Reid is forced to reconsider his place on the ranch when threats put the property and employees in danger.
Menacing events call Reid’s integrity into question, and he considers saving everyone the hassle and throwing in the reins. But how can he leave when his heart now feels at home on Pine Ridge Ranch and in Walker’s arms?

Goodreads

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

Reid and Walker…so night and day yet so perfect for one another.  Reid and Walker….so afraid yet so hopeful about the other.

I am not going to lie when I said Reid is a major turn off initially.  He is spoiled and privileged but once you start to get to know him….you get him.  The opening scenes with Reid, I was seriously about to punch him.  I was telling Norma Not to be nice to him…LOL

Walker is a seasoned rancher and closed off to love.  His heart is now all about the ranch and he hopes and prays that Reid will SEE the ranch for how wonderful it is.  He hopes and dreams of continuing life on the ranch and then his dreams turn to sharing that with Reid…..Wink Wink.

Reid is so out and loud and accepting of his sexuality that I did laugh at this “rancher serious clothing shopping trip” and following fashion show.  Walker is so serious, but Reid is the breath of fresh air he needs.  Walker is also what Reid needs.  Walker helps him find a purpose and ranching is that purpose.

The story was a great read. My favorite scene is when Reid discovers Walker is gay thanks to his rock hard erection…LOL    I totally laughed at the fact Reid bragged about his gay-dar and yet he missed Walker.

The plot with the person casing issues on the ranch was a great read and I think this story is a great read for anyone who has not read AD before.  You get an awesome story and a great look into her beautiful love story writing style.

A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana teaching alternative education in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing school-aged children, and laughing at two precocious cats. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.
She loves chocolate, wine, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don’t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband of nearly two decades. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.

#WOTR19 #Review #NewRelease #Mythological #Paranormal – Love and War, Gods of DC #2 by Tricia Andersen

Leave a comment

Love and War (The Gods of DC Book 2)

Jealousy doesn’t look good on Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom. Escaping her half brother’s happiness, Athena takes a prototype military jet for a joyride. An unexpected malfunction crashes it in a Georgia swamp. She wakes up to find herself in the cabin of the sexy yet surly Mack Bradshaw, a tow truck driver who pulled her from the blaze but doesn’t seem to want her or anyone around him. The attraction to Mack is primal, a force she can’t deny. Can she fight the urge to have sex with him or will she give up being one of the three Maiden Goddesses and surrender to him? And what will the rest of the Pantheon have to say about her big, bad savior?
She literally fell from the sky. Mack frees the blonde from the burning wreck of the jet and brings her into his home despite his dislike of virtually everyone. When the fiery beauty is near him, she sets off an ancient need, one his bloodline calls to him to act on. Can she accept his true nature and be his mate? And when an ancient evil threatens to take her from him for eternity, can he partner with her family, the Greek Pantheon, to save her?

Goodreads

I received this book for an honest review.
Ok people you know I love me some Tricia so you won’t be shocked when I said this book was another amazing read. I LOVE how she combine the Hallow Brothers and this series together. Who knew Wolf shifters and Greek Gods could flow together so easily and yet they did.
Now you know I love me some Ares buuuuuuuuut wellllllllll look out for major brooding, utterly sexy Mack. He won my heart over even with Ares being the sexy man that he always is.
This story starts right after book 1 so Ares and Juliette are in a tiff and thanks to sister Athena they are working stuff out. Athena is a bit jelly of her brother and his nymph’s love but she knows that is never to be ya see because …well she is to stay a virgin…uhm yup you read that right. Guess what? I bet she doesn’t stay one long!! LOL
Athena crashes and lands in Mack’s backyard. The mating spell captivates the two and soooooon they are baring THE MARK. Hint that is why I said she won’t stay a Maiden Head Warrior for long!!
The two have a lot to get through. Ya know her being a God and him not believing it. Her being Zeus’s favorite kid and slipping off that pedestal plus there is a demon who wants to stir some trouble.
This story had me turning page after page after page. I could put it down. I loved seeing the two of them come together and then bounce apart while trying to figure everything out. I loved seeing Ares try to help his sister but seeing Aphrodite being in her corner shocked me…and Ares too!!
But serious Hades and Persephone need a book!! OMG seeing them in love….sigh…..made me feel bad for the star crossed lovers.

Walking Among the Cherry Trees  1 Beyond the Cherry Trees 2 Before the Cherry Trees 3

Book 1- aylor Cook was the last thing Morgan McGregor expected to find when she stepped off the train at Cherryville station to spend the summer with her grandmother, Virginia. She didn’t know that the boy who befriended her would one day fill her heart with both joy and pain.
First love can be magical. It can reach inside you and grip your heart with a force that you never see coming, and can’t deny. It’s powerful and sometimes debilitating, but most of all… it can break you in ways you never thought possible.

How do you recover when the one the person you thought would always be there, pushes you away at the time they’re needed the most? How do you move on with your life and forget the boy who stole your heart all those years ago? How do you go back to that place knowing that seeing him will cause your careful façade to crack into a million pieces? It’s simple you can’t, but sometimes you have to.

When Morgan gets the news that her grandmother’s passed away and she’s the heir to her estate, she hardens heart in preparation of going back to face him. What happens when she steps off that train again? Will the feelings she’s worked so hard to forget come rushing back and threaten to drown her? Will he even still be there?

Book 2- It’s been two years since she walked away, and he’s still hurting. It’s been two years since Mia Callahan ran headfirst toward her career leaving him to pick up the pieces of his broken heart.

Tyler Cook has everything he ever wanted. He’s living in a luxurious apartment and working at one of New York’s most prestigious law firms, all while becoming one of the city’s biggest playboys. Women flock to him, and he promises them nothing in return. The more they give, the more he takes. Even though it doesn’t help fill the hole she left in his heart.

One moment can change your life. A few words can send it down a path you never planned, careening toward someone you don’t truly want.

What happens when Mia comes back and he isn’t the same man she left behind? Will she accept him for who he has become? Can he find the man he was, the man she left? Can he forgive her for walking away?

Sometimes we have to go back to the beginning to realize what we had in the first place.

Beyond the Cherry Trees is the second book in the Cook Brothers series.
***This can be read as a STANDALONE.***

Book 3 – There are always those unexpected moments in our lives that make us realize that we aren’t in control.

I’ve known Sharron was it for me for as long as I can remember. We met when we were just kids, and fell in love. At eighteen when she told me she was pregnant, I did what I’d always planned to do… I asked her to marry me.

As the years passed by so did our dreams. We grew up fast, but our love never faltered. Our marriage was solid, and I thought we could survive anything… but I was wrong.

‘For better or worse’ is easier said than done. When you feel like everything is crumbling around you it’s easy to give up and walk away, at least it was for her.
I have no intention of letting her go. She’s my other half, and I know she can find her way back to me. I just need her to remember how we were before the cherry trees

Samantha Connelly has been on the run since she was seven years old. Forced into Witness Protection after her father saw something he shouldn’t has caused her to learn to blend in. She’s moved, changed her name, and her appearance more times than she can count over the last nineteen years all along wondering if it will ever end. Her handler, Kevin, along with her parents have assured her that it won’t be forever, but as the years tick by she’s slowly given up hope that she’ll ever be normal.

Now at 26, Sam has moved to Chicago and is working at the Rusty Nail as a bartender calling herself Mallory. Her father passed away two years before leaving her to finish what he started…put away the ‘bad guys’. Living on the run in hiding has been harder than she ever imagined, and finding love has always been out of the question. Who would want to be with someone they couldn’t be honest with? She’s resigned herself to being alone, until… Brian walks in.

Brian Sellers is everything Sam has been trying to avoid her entire life. He’s clad in leather and torn jeans, donning several tattoos… all-in-all a bad boy. When their eyes connect one evening, everything she’s ever told herself falls to the wayside as an indescribable draw pulls her to him. He’s sexy and domineering, and something about him reminds her of a boy she used to know.

The more time she spends with Brian, the more she wants him, but…Brian is not everything he seems to be. When Sam happens to see the tat on his wrist, the same tat that her father saw all those years ago, she realizes she’s flirting with the enemy. Brian has no idea that he’s hanging out with the one girl his boss wants dead.

Can Sam hide her identity from the first man she’s had real feelings for? What will Brian do when he finds out who she really is? Can love really conquer all?

Say You Remember

I had it all once…I was popular, a jock, the center of attention in any group, friends that followed me everywhere. I thought I ruled the world, and in my high school I did. Girls threw themselves at me, and I used them knowing they’d never mean anything until I met her…Danielle Reed.

I never planned on liking her or even falling in love, but I did. I fell hard, and I ruined it before it could really begin.

It’s been eight years now. I never thought I’d see her again, but here she is. The thing is, she can’t stand me. She reminds me every chance she gets of what a horrible person I was, and how she hopes I rot in hell. I know it would be simpler to just move on and forget about her, but I can’t. I can’t let her go, and I don’t want to.

Danielle Reed will be mine again. I just need to make her remember.

Book 5-

Things aren’t always as they seem…

I’ve lived by that motto for most of my life. I’ve hid who I am, who I used to be, and what I’ve done from anyone who dares to get close to me. At nineteen I lost my parents. I thought nothing in the world could be more painful. I was wrong.

When I met Leo, my world seemed brighter. I felt hope for the first time in months. He promised me a life of luxury, but things aren’t always as they seem. Leo had a dark side, one that he hid from me. He pulled me under and held me captive, making death seem like the only way out.

It took me two years to escape. I ran never looking back until now. My life is finally coming together. I have people I trust, a job, and a safe place to call home, but things aren’t always as they seem.

One night, one phone call, one moment causes it to all crash down. Leo has my sister, and he wants to trade her for me. The one person I can trust is the only one who could also tear me apart… Detective Jeff Horn. He’s got secrets just like me, and seems to understand me better than I do myself.

How do I tell him my darkest secrets? How do I go back to a place that nearly broke me? How do I let him see Below the Surface?
