ARC Review of Vow of Obedience (Cavalieri Della Morte Series) by Brianna Hale @_brianna_hale_

VowOfObedience_Teaser3

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

She’s looking for redemption and forgiveness and he’s looking for retribution.

Geraint is a man who works in the Cavalieri Della Morte and is not a nice man. He had a tough childhood and a mean father. He feels that his life has gotten better until he is called into Arthur’s office, the father of the Cavalieri Della Morte, and is told that his brother has been murdered. Now all he can think of is retribution for his brother.

Branwen is a woman who is on the run from her family and has taken a vow of silence until she can get redemption and forgiveness for her crime. She’s young and runs right into Geraint when she is trying to find safety. Their paths will cross again in a few months when Geraint is looking for a way to get to the man who killed his brother, and she will be his path.

This book is a quick read, but a great read. It goes fast and kept my interest all the way through. These two will find their redemption in each other.

I really enjoyed this story and I am looking forward to the other stories in the Della Morte. I give this story a 4.5-star review and highly recommend it to readers who like organized crime, suspense, and twists in their stories.

Title: Break of Dawn
Author: Anne Conley
Genre: Crime, Suspense, Romance
Release Date: March 26, 2019

DawnAdGirlColorPopWithBook⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5

A story of two people who are trying to live their lives on their terms and not their fathers’.

Dawn Giordanno, a young woman who ran away from her father and mother so that she could live her life her own way. She’s been hiding and doing what she needs to so that she can survive and stay out of her father’s clutches. She left Chicago and went to Austin only to find herself in a different type of danger. A hurricane has hit Austin and she gets stranded until she is picked up by Jackson and his buddies in a boat while they are out patrolling trying to save as many people as they can and get them to safety.

Jackson McLellan, a young man who is compassionate, caring, and lawful. He was in the service and is now a lawyer. His father is a prominent politician who works any angle to get votes and support. A hurricane is not going to stop him from holding a fundraiser, not if he has any say in the matter. Jackson and two of his buddies that he was in the service with are out on a boat picking up people who are stranded due to the rising water from the hurricane and taking them to the coliseum where it’s dry and safe.

Dawn is a private person because she is trying to stay safe and away from her family, but Jackson’s dad and his closest advisor have other plans for her. When Dawn finds out what she was has in her possession, she decides to use it to get further away and start over some place far away and safe, but her plans backfire on her.

I really liked this story and found the characters to be well rounded and enjoyable to read. The struggles that these two have to go through to find their peaceful lives can destroy them, but they find their way out and they find their peace. I give this story a 4-star review and recommend it to readers who like a story with tragedy, corrupt politicians, and criminals, then you should read this book. There is a HEA and the characters are strong, entertaining, and full of hope.

I knew falling for him was wrong. I did it anyway, his half smiles and blue eyes pulling me deeper. Blue eyes that made me soar. He wasn’t mine to keep, though. And like all good and rare things, it came to an end.

Then he strolls into my life, armed with dimples and brown eyes. Brown eyes that ground me. He smashes through my defenses, stealing what is left of my heart.

Now my heart is a war zone, past and present battling for my forever.

Cleopatra Paige hates one thing in this world — just one — and his name is Zachariah Prince.

Review of Bad Boy Blues by Saffron A. Kent @GiveMeBooksPR and @thesaffronkent

Bad Boy Blues Available Now

A story of love, hate, bullying, and finding the power within oneself.

Cleopatra “Blue” Paige is a young woman who is trying to hold onto the past after she has been orphaned and left homeless. She is from the side of town that has had to work for what they have, and her parents did work hard. After her a tragic accident, she wants to get her home back that she grew up in with her loving parents. In order to do that though, she will have to work for the one person that made her life miserable in school. She is sentimental, strong, sassy, and a woman who stands up for others when they are being wronged. A childhood of being bullied has taught her to be compassionate towards those that need a champion in their life.

Zachariah Prince is the son of the founding family of Princetown, and he is also the one man who can destroy Blue’s dreams. He comes from a rich family that has many secrets, and they own the town. He didn’t have a loving childhood like Blue did, and he took out his frustration and hatred towards those who hurt him on Blue, making her life miserable. His friends at school were all rich just like his family and they treated anyone from the wrong side of town as though they were lower than the dirt they walked on.

This story hits a lot of tough subjects that kids go through in life, and it shows how someone who is humiliated, bullied, and treated with disrespect is actually the stronger person as well as the person who holds the power. The power they hold is the ability to move past the bullying, disrespect and humiliation and be the person they are meant to be. These characters have to find their way to the right side of life and being the person they were meant to be. These two find that with each other and they have a beautiful story.

I give this story a 4.5-star review and highly recommend it to any reader who enjoys stories with strong characters who find their way in life, young love, and the power to move on from the life that has brought you down.

They call him the quiet one.

But they don’t know him.

They only know him as the King of mayhem. The elite of the elite. The man his team relied on to save the unsaveable. Kingston Kenrich could save anyone…except those who he’d loved most. King thought he’d survived the worst, until his own teammate’s betrayal left him blind in one eye. Before, he lived for pain, now he lives for revenge.

Her compassion knew no bounds.

From the moment Laura Dawson’s daredevil brother, John, signed up for the Special Forces, she’d known one day she’d get the call that he’d been killed in action. But she’d never expected to be the one raising his young daughter. After a year as a stand in mother, she got an even bigger shock – John was alive. But he wasn’t the same.

When his old teammate, King, appeared in her house looking for John, Laura kept quiet. But something about the tall, dark stranger tugged at her soul.

King takes one look at Laura and feels his heart beat again. How could his betrayer’s sister evoke anything other than hate?

Fate throws them together into a turbulent world of adventure and pain. Laura fights to remain loyal to her brother while falling for the man who wants to see him dead. King is determined to make her see the twisted man her brother has become, all the while losing his heart to her more each day.

Will Laura and King choose love or loyalty? Or will fate take the decision out of their hands?

This incredibly emotional romance will take you through the highs and lows of new love, the treachery of betrayal and the uncertainty of danger in a heart pounding journey of discovery.

ARC Review: Arbitrage by Colette Kebell @rararesources @ColetteKebell

Arbitrage English Mock-Up

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨= 4.5 out of 5

A story of revenge with many twists.

Ryan Logan a man who lives his life for his job until his job is taken from him in a matter of a weekend. He is a man who does his job within the parameters of the law. He’s a lawyer specializing in finance and tax law who made partner within a short time.

Marcus Splinter is a man who works with a group of con artists that are looking for their final con so that they can all retire to their dream lives. They think they have the perfect pawn and are all set for the con and the win. Their lives will change, but not in the way they are hoping it will.

This is a story of revenge, retribution, and redemption. Full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. I loved the way that the story kept pulling me further and further in. It took me a few pages to get into it, but once I did and focused on the book it was hard to put down. Nothing was as it seemed in this book as I got further into it.

I give this story 4.5-star review and highly recommend it to anyone who likes books with a twist, is full of characters looking for their fortunes and will risk their lives to get it in some cases. If you like crime, police procedural, financial thrillers, and a story that will keep you wondering what will happen next, I suggest you go out and grab this book.

Arbitrage Author PhotoAuthor Bio –
Colette Kebell is an eclectic author, though a relatively new one and thus far has self-published her books. Her books are light-hearted, fun and quirky and even considered by some to be inspirational. She publishes mostly for the English speaking market and the Italian one. Colette Kebell does not stick to just one genre when writing though, as you shall discover from her latest book to be launched on 5th April 2019

As a career, Colette spent her later years as a legal secretary. After a first attempt at writing many years ago (a book that still remains in her drawer) she resumed this passion a few years back, after being made redundant. After few book signing events and a book talk, which almost caused her to collapse with nerves, Colette now spends her time between her home in the UK and her home in France.

Colette has two adorable dogs and, when not writing and marketing her books, she likes cooking for herself and her husband, gardening or designing various items for their home. Amongst her other hobbies, she has also experimented with furniture upholstery, and she might, from time to time, have a paintbrush in her hand.

She can be found on twitter @ColetteKebell though doesn’t tweet a vast amount.

Pretty Reckless, the first standalone in the highly anticipated All Saints High series from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is coming April 29th and we have the gasp-worthy cover!

LJSPrettyRecklessBookCover6x9_MEDIUM
We were supposed to be best friends
But turned out to be worst enemies…

Penn
They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart is completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.

Daria
Everyone loves a good-old, unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all of my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and there’s nothing I want more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.
