Seven years ago, they took everything from me. My father. My husband. My child.

Then I met him.

TRAILER

 

Hell Hath No Fury Coming Soon
EXCERPT

Death.
Heartache.
Vengeance.
This isn’t a tale for the tender-hearted, the judgmental, or those who refuse to think outside the box and look at the broader picture. Those who think that everything is black and white. Simple. Cut and dry.
It’s not. There’s always shades of gray.
It’s easier to say “I’d never” when you’re sitting safely at home with the people you love most right by your side. When grief hasn’t woven itself so deeply in the fabric of your DNA that it can never be unraveled. There can be no separation. And even if you try, it would only result in you becoming a frayed and tangled mess.
It’s easy to say you’d never walk the treacherous moral tightrope. But you aren’t the one who plummeted to the depths of hell, littered with the agony of loss and the anger of injustice, and had to claw your way out.
This story isn’t scrawled in bold black ink on pristine white pages. Marred, torn, and blood-spattered, its chapters hold deep gouges inflicted by betrayal.
This story is about a woman who had everything taken from her.
And how she took it all back.

Review of Tank (Reckoning MC Seer Book 2) by BE Kelly @kikilovesbooks @KLRamsey5

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

Tank teaser 3

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Tank is the President of the Reckoning MC and has never thought about having an Old Lady. That changed after he met Lyra and was tasked with protecting her and her daughter Delilah after Lyra’s sister was kidnapped because of their gift. Tank has his own demons to conquer and has never felt that he could weigh someone else down with his demons. Lyra has things that she has to come to terms with herself, and her lack of confidence doesn’t help her.

This story was just a good as the first book in the series Reaper, it was fast paced, suspenseful, and easy to read. I love the characters in this series, and I enjoy reading about their lives and the danger that lurks around each corner for them. The fact that the women in this series are the powerful ones is a huge draw for me. While the men are tough, dangerous, possessive, and protective, the women have their own power and that makes them equals to their men.

I give this story a 4.5-star review and recommend it to readers who enjoy MC, possessive, protective men, and women who can hold their own and stand beside their men when they are faced with danger. I look forward to more of the series and finding out what kind of trouble these characters find themselves in as the series goes on.

He’ll have to be willing to lose everything to save her…
Phoenix by Janie Crouch releases on March 10th!
Adrenaline junky.
Adventure traveler.
Extreme sport sensation. 

They’re all labels Riley Harrison—known to the world as Phoenix—wears as easily as the tattoos covering his body.

But it’s his role as undercover operative for Linear Tactical’s kidnap and ransom unit that makes his blood sing. Riley uses his celebrity status to help infiltrate locations and situations nobody else can get into.

In. Out. The fight is usually over before the bad guys know it’s begun or that Riley was involved.

But his skills and celebrity status won’t help when he discovers the woman he loves is keeping unbearable secrets and in a danger he never could’ve imagined.

She wants Riley to stay far away from her.

That’s not going to happen.

But he’ll have to be willing to lose everything to save her. To save them.

Phoenix will learn you have to burn before you can rise.

Excerpt
He grabs me by the throat and shoves me into the wall, causing the plasterboard to fall to the floor. Those black eyes penetrate me. His fingers tremble around my neck, and I know it’s because he wants to squeeze harder. It’s the first time I truly fear him; I see the man who was born into the world of crime and violence. I know he sees my fear, senses it the same way a predator does his prey. As his lips stretch into a wolfish smirk, he squeezes my neck tighter, cutting off my airways, showing me he has the power to end me right here in this shithole of a flat, the same place he sat and played video games with me. He’s telling me none of that matters, that I’m nothing to him.
Malachi turns so fast, releasing my neck. I gasp, trying so hard to pull in the oxygen my lungs burn for that I don’t have time to process what’s happening. That’s when I see the smooth metal of the gun he had hidden pushed hard against my dad’s temple.
So hard that a trickle of blood falls like a crimson tear.
“What are you doing?” I whisper, too terrified to even breathe or make the wrong move.
My heart stutters as he releases the safety catch, finger steady on the trigger.
“His payment will be paid!” With the gun to my father’s temple, he’s clearly telling me that if I don’t agree to his demands, he’s killing my father. He’s going to make me watch as he blows his brains across the tiny flat. Malachi knows what he is doing.
He’s pulling the strings, and now he’s going to watch me dance.
His decision is unwavering. There is no remorse in his eyes as his finger draws back, hand completely steady.
He is a monster.
Shutting my eyes against the pain, a tear escapes. I’m mourning the man I used to know, my freedom, and the girl I know will be changed forever with my answer.
“Take me.”

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

A story full of suspense, strength, unconditional love, and twists.

Lilliana has lost one very important man in her life. Now she only has her father left and even though he’s not father of the year material, he’s still her father and she would do anything for him. Unfortunately for her, that’s about to be tested. There have been three men who have meant anything to Lilliana in her life, and she is about to be reunited with one of them. Too bad she hates him and wants nothing to do with him.

Malachi is the Prince of Darkness. He is dangerous, deadly, and has no soul, at least that’s what Lilliana believes. He is a man who does not let anyone see the real him. He’s actually a man in control of his destiny and will do anything for the one woman that means the world to him, little does she know that though. It will take a dangerous situation for her to realize that all that Malachi has been doing is trying to protect her.

I loved this story. The pages burned with the lives of Lilliana and Malachi, their lives are so different, but still connected. They are both strong people who love deeply and completely, when they let people into their lives. They will fight for what’s right and each other until they both realize that their lives are not complete without the other. I give this story a 4.5-star review and recommend it to readers who like Mafia, dark romance, strong women who are not afraid to stand up for themselves, or twisted romance. This was my first read of Raven Amor, but I am sure that it won’t be my last. I enjoyed this story and found her writing to pull me in and hang on to me throughout the book.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L.P. Dover comes the crossover fans having been waiting for! Beloved characters from her Armed & Dangerous and Circle of Justice novels come together in this tantalizing new series!

A stranger waiting in the dark.
A ritualistic attack.
A wrongful arrest.

After surviving an attempt on her life, Kennedy moved to Vermont in hopes of putting the nightmare behind her. The police assured her the assailant was behind bars. They were dead wrong. The truth revealed itself in a rash of grisly murders. Each victim bore a striking resemblance to Kennedy. Each killed in the same fashion as her attack.

Launching a full-fledged manhunt, the police called me in. My name is Reed Chandler, and I’m an expert on tracking the behavior of the deranged. It doesn’t take long for me to realize it all traces back to Kennedy. The killings are carving a path across the country, leading straight to her.

Determined to keep her safe, I refuse to leave her side. Am I getting too close? Losing myself in the alluring charms of the school teacher? I don’t care. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. Let the killer come. The tables have turned, I know his plan.

What he doesn’t know is that I’m a trained killer… and now I’m on the hunt.
 
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L. P. Dover is a southern belle living in North Carolina with her husband and two beautiful girls. Before she began her literary journey she worked in periodontics, enjoying the wonderment of dental surgeries.

She loves to write, but she also loves to play golf, go on mountain hikes, and has a passion for singing. Her youngest daughter, who she’s also written a children’s book with, expects a concert each and every night before bedtime, usually Christmas carols.

Dover has written countless novels in several different genres, including a children’s book with her youngest daughter, but her favorite to write is romantic suspense. However, she has found a new passion in romantic comedy, especially involving sexy golfers. Who knew the sport could be so dirty and fun to write about.

Knight in shining armor?
More like alpha-hole of the century.

ISABEL

He’s dark, rude, brooding and mean – and he’s my new bodyguard.
My father Oz is the president of the Death Devils MC. He wants me safe, and out of the way.
And unfortunately, Thorn is the man he’s chosen for the job.

I don’t need a babysitter. I’ve been taking care of myself for a damn long time now.
I don’t think sexy, alpha Thorn is too excited about it either.
But I’ll be damned if I’ll make his life any easier.
I hate him for abducting me.
I hate my father even more for thinking I’m some fragile flower.
But what I hate most of all is the way Thorn makes me feel when he says dirty, filthy things to me.

I want to fight him. I need to resist.
But the harder I try, the more I realize I can’t keep fighting forever.

THORN

She thinks I’m a f*cking asshole. She’s not wrong.

Protecting the rival MC president’s daughter is definitely not on my g*dd*mn bucket list.
When I get stuck with Isabel, I know from the beginning it’s going to be a sh*t show.
Her own father is keeping her in the dark about how much danger she’s in.
All she knows is I’m holding her prisoner against her will.

Even though I’d f*ck her in a heartbeat, I know I shouldn’t.
Shouldn’t touch her.
Shouldn’t taste her.
Shouldn’t bring her to my bed and make her scream out my name until her throat is raw.

But I’ve never been a man who lives by what I shouldn’t do.
And it’s only a matter of time before I’ve crossed that line.
I’ll mark her as mine.
I’ll protect her — no matter what.
But if I f*ck this up, at least one of us won’t make it out alive.

Blurb:
Once upon a time…
Isn’t that how love stories begin?
Not this time. This is not a love story.

This is the untold story of Sleeping Beauty and how Princess Arianna of Graeline was conceived out of darkness and lies.

Born into a kingdom on the brink of disaster, she remains hidden away from the world as protection against a vengeful curse.

A love curse.

Malevolence has invaded the land of mystery, and the dark mage has decided it’s time to collect on her favor. The price…

The princess.

Until the king calls for a savior. Or two?

Asher “Apollo” McCall and Matthew “Ares” Norbury have worked countless missions together. Named after the Greek gods they resembled, they were considered the biggest and baddest until tragedy struck. Their team was slaughtered and they were left for dead.

Neither man ever foresaw a life of peace, but gazing into the eyes of the young, defiant princess for the first time, they catch a glimpse of what could become their world.

How far will they go to make the enigmatic royal theirs?

Kidnapping.
Torture.
Imprisonment.

Can these two “princes” beat the odds, save the princess, and live happily ever after?
Or is Arianna destined to die, imprisoned by a curse out of control?

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

This is not the same fairy tale that you were read or told when you were a little girl or that you told your daughter or granddaughter. It is darker, more twisted, and a beautiful story of trust, true love, and the power to overcome evil.

Arianna is the princess of a small country between Ireland and Scotland, it is called Graeline. She was conceived out of darkness and lies, but she’s a beautiful soul. She has been cursed and overly protected by her parents who want to keep her safe. Her best friend is a couple of years older, but they are inseparable. Ariana’s people are being taken and never seen again. When her father asks for help Arianna will lure the two men who will protect her, save her, and love her for the rest of her life.

Apollo and Ares are ex-military who have been asked to come to Graeline to help the King and his country and after finding a photo of Arianna, both are drawn to the country and the young woman. They are men who have been to the brink and back after the missions they have been on while in the military as well as the missions they take on now, after the military. They believe that they’ve seen it all, but they are not prepared for what they’ll find when they go to Graeline.

I absolutely loved this story. It was fast paced, intriguing, dark, and suspenseful. I’ve read a few of Ms. Donn’s books and she has not disappointed with this one. She always pulls me in from the first page and doesn’t let me go until the full story has been completed. I give this story a 4.5-star review and look forward to more. If you like fairytales, dark, twisted stories, you will love this one. Another book in the Sinister Fairy Tales Collection.

Title: Waiting For My Queen

A Dark Mafia Romance

Author: Georgia Cates

Genre: Adult Dark Romance

Release Date: March 3, 2020

 

Blurb
Emilia—
All I’ve ever wanted was to marry for love.
But girls like me don’t have that luxury.
We are used as pawns in a game we can’t control.
The game? It’s called Mafia.
I was foolish enough to try to change the rules… and I lost.
Luca—
She was promised to me years ago.
And he dared to take her from me.
Dared to touch what was mine.
I put an end to that.
I hope he’s enjoying the view from his dirt room.
Emilia—
My beloved’s killer placed a ruby ring on my finger and called me his queen.
But that red gem symbolizes something different for me.
It represents the blood shed by those I love most.
Hell was empty the day we wed.
Because the devil was standing before me and said “I do.”
Luca—
I saw her as a possession.
A shiny toy I didn’t want other boys to play with.
But she’s so much more.
Beautiful and brave and strong and broken all at once.
She tastes like everything I’ve ever wanted.
Emilia—
Hidden and patient.
I wait for the perfect time to seek my revenge.
But slowly, I feel him possessing me.
His heart is full of darkness… and I still want every inch of him.
Hard as I try, I can’t escape loving this beautiful monster.
Luca—
I’m waiting patiently because I already know that she’s mine.
Mine in a way that no one will ever understand.
Even if she hasn’t yet realized it.
For love, I’d do anything.
For her, I’d do everything.

Excerpt
I focus my attention on the girl sitting to Sofia’s left. The more beautiful one. The older-looking one. The more frightened-looking one with tears pooling in her lower lids. Dark brown hair cascading over her shoulders and down her arms, the ends nuzzling against her bare skin like a frightened child clinging to its mother. Almond-shaped deep-caramel eyes surrounded by lush dark lashes. A few scattered freckles across the bridge of her perfectly shaped nose. Plump, glossy coral lips.
In my wildest dreams, my betrothed didn’t grow up to be this beautiful. And it annoys the hell out of me because I don’t want to be attracted to her. I want to make her suffer. Sofia Bellini grips the hand of the girl in question. “Please, Marco. Swear to me on your honor that my daughter will be safe with you.” My father chuckles. “Emilia is going to give us babies, heirs to the Rossini empire. There is no safer place for her than with our family. You know that.”
Sofia and the girl beside her, my Emilia, embrace one another and sob. Her grandmother and sisters cluster around her doing the same. It’s pathetic. I would have expected less of a display from Bellinis. Certainly not this spectacle.
My betrothed has weaknesses. Those will need to be eliminated before she influences our sons with that nonsense. “That’s more than enough of that,” I tell them. She lifts her chin and her eyes meet mine for the first time. Inside those deep-caramel orbs, I see something I like very much: rage. There during one heartbeat and gone the next, it was only a fleeting flash. But I saw it and I don’t mistake it for what it is. This girl is going to be so much fun to break. “Come, Emilia. I’m ready to take you home.”

My Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

He’s deadly, calculating, and very sexy, but she doesn’t want him. It doesn’t matter that she’s known her entire life that she was betrothed to him. Emilia Bellini is in love with her childhood friend, Nico, and doesn’t want to fulfill her betrothal to Luca Rossini.

Luca Rossini has known who he would marry since he was a young boy. The only trouble is that he doesn’t know her. He knew her a child, but as they’ve grown up, they have not been in contact. It doesn’t matter though, because he will have her as his wife no matter what.

This story started out very dark and had me on the edge of my seat. It is a story of an arranged marriage in a mafia family. Emilia and Luca come from two of the top five mafia families of New York and their union will only strengthen their families. The first impression of Luca is that he is a dark irredeemable man, but I was in for a surprise. I actually really loved him. He may be a dark, deadly mafia son, but he is also loyal and committed to his wife and family. I give this story a 4.5-star review. If you like mafia, dark, arranged marriage, strong women who put their men in their place, you will love this story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

HOT Heroes for Hire is so true! These guys are lethal, sexy, dangerous, and so great to read. Colt is full of surprises. He’s a sexy man who has a secret and only one Ian knows the real Colt.

Colt Duchene has been interested in Angelica Turner since he first met her. The only trouble is that he isn’t sure that he is the right man for her. Neither one of them really know the other, but they’ll get the chance figure out who each other are when she has to stay with Colt while he protects her, again.

Colt and Angelica have a history and Angelica is afraid that her past will continue to keep her from living her life and taking a chance with Colt. She needs to work through some things before she can move forward, and Colt has to come clean with Angelica before he can move forward.

I give this story a 4.5-star review and really loved it. It’s full of suspense, action, danger, sexy men, and strong, able women. I love the men of Black’s Bandits, HOT, and the women that bring them to their knees. If you are a fan of mercenary stories, hot men, strong, sassy women, and suspense, then this series is for you.
