Imprisoned_SM (1)

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.

The first time I shook her hand, I knew she was the one.But my breath stalled when I grazed the cool metal on her finger and when I
looked down at that fucking ring, my heart stopped.

Now, she’s back in town and after five years, I had no idea what’d happened.
Instead of her husband standing by her side, holding her hand, there was a
little girl. The first time I shook her hand, I knew she was the one.

Excerpt
“I loved reading about Greek mythology the most when I was
in high school.”

I turned toward Melanie who was staring at me. I wondered how long she’d been
looking on or more so. How long ago did she move her chair to the side of the
table, so we were sitting next to each other, rather than across from each
other?

“I’m a huge fan of Greek mythology myself,” I respond.

“You are?” Melanie cocked her head to the side. A look of disbelief crossed her
face and I tried not to laugh.

“I am. I loved studying about it in college. I took a couple of Greek mythology
classes between History and Literature. I even took a Latin class as well. The
culture intrigues me.”

“Same here. Anything I can get my hands on I love to read or watch about.”

“If that’s the case, I have a comic I’d love to show you. It’s about Persephone
and Hades.”

Melanie quickly put her drink down and placed her hand over mine.

“Wait!” There was a stunned look on her face as she reached into her back
pocket, bringing her phone out. It was only seconds before she was shoving the
device in my face, showing me exactly what I’d been about to tell her.

“You mean Lore Olympus?!”

“Yeah,” I laughed at Melanie’s enthusiasm and when she pulled the phone away, I
saw a genuine smile plastered across her face as she looked at me.

“It’s one of my all-time favorite comics and it’s not just the story but the
illustrations as well. It’s just so cool to see the story come to life in a
different way than just words or even so, the way most people read about it.”

“Exactly. We can see these Gods in our time and see them be almost human for a
second. It’s quite a refreshing rendition to the Greek mythology world.”

“Did you see it was being optioned for a show too?!”

“I had not but that sounds exciting. I wonder if it will be animated the way it
is in the comics or if they are going to change it.”

“I hope they’d keep it the way it is but if anything, seeing that story come to
life would be amazing to watch.”

“I hope you wouldn’t make me watch it alone.”

It was a long shot but I stuck the comment out there in the open, hoping with
how this coffee date was going, Melanie would sink into the words and move this
in the direction I wanted it to go.

“Smooth move there, Jack.” She shook her head and leaned in closer to me, just
like she had at the bar. “I said this wasn’t a date.”

“Yet here you are in a dress, sitting next to me, giving me the smile I’ve been
so desperately wanting to get from you.”

“My smile?” She moved her hand to her lips and looked down at her drink.

I reached out, tucking my fingers under her chin and lifting her head up.

“You’re smile, Melanie.” I gave her a small smile myself. “Since I’ve known
you, I’ve never seen the smile you give others directed toward me. Now, you’ve
given me a smile that I’ve never seen you give anyone else.”

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5
Such a tragically beautiful love story. Jack is a man with two sides to him, but not many see the real Jack. He hides his soft, kind side from everyone except those that he lets in. When he meets Melanie everything changes.

Jack works with Melanie’s brother Max in the Publishing company The Ink Well, he’s the cover designer for the books that they publish. He loves his work and gets lost in it when he’s working on a project.

Melanie first meets Jack when she is interviewing with his mother for a position in California. She is moving to California with her husband for his new job and she needed a job as well. Her first impression of Jack is one of wariness and something else, that she’s not able to pinpoint. After five years she returns to Georgia and surprises Jack, because he had no idea she was back or why.

I really liked this story. It tragic but beautiful. Melanie has gone through a lot in the past five years and she’s not sure can continue with her life. If you like stories of second chances, love stories with kind-hearted men that will do anything for the one they love, then you should read Every Little Thing. It tragic, dramatic, and has a Happily Ever After. I give it 4.5-stars and recommend it readers that are looking for a beautiful love story.

There’s a rule in Crowne Hall: never look a Crowne in the eyes.
It protects us more than them.
I broke it once, the night Grayson Crowne mistook me for his true love and stole my first kiss. I’ve regretted it every day since.
He hates me.
He torments me.
He won’t let me go, because that night he whispered a secret against my lips not meant for me. Grayson Crowne, heir to the Crowne empire and notorious playboy prince is… a virgin.
I signed a contract in my heart’s blood as much as ink: help him get back his love, repair what I broke. Give him my body, my soul, my heart, let him use all of me, so when the time comes to marry her, he won’t need me.
I shouldn’t need him.
But he’s my stolen soulmate, and I’m at his mercy.

Excerpt
The ink was barely dry on the pages. I don’t know if I was ready for this. Somehow I felt like I was more of a virgin than Grayson. Nervous, skittish. He’d warned me when all of this began that the things he’d seen and done would wreck me. I should’ve believed him then.
When I didn’t do anything for a minute, he arched a brow.
Do whatever he says.
I could use my safe word, but a twisted part of me liked doing what he told me to
do. Liked the rush and the way his eyes hardened. It felt like power, power over one of the most powerful people in the world.
I’d barely taken a step to him, when he ripped me to him by the small of my waist. His other hand tangled in my hair, yanking my head to the side.
“Fuck,” he said, lips at my neck. “Which part do I eat first.”
Delicious tingles spread along my skin at his words. His nose ran along my neck, goosebumps following in his wake. His hands slid from hair, from my waist, along my body, feeling every inch of me, like he couldn’t do it fast enough, before settling
back in my hair.
Deliriously, I found
the zipper of my dress, but his overtook mine. Stopping me.
“I’m going to ruin
your white dress, Snitch. Ruin you. Until you’re all fucked up from me.”

MY REVIEW: 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Wow! I can’t remember reading a book with so much drama, hate, or angst in quite a while. A story of two people that really should have never even so close to each other but now that they’ve each had a taste of each other, they find it hard to give it up.

Story Hale has a dark, rough past and childhood. She’s a servant in Crowne Hall and has to follow the rules of the house. When she finds herself pulled into the antique room one day, her whole life will change forever.

Grayson Crowne is the Prince of the Crowne legacy. He is to follow his grandfather and mother’s rules and he is to marry the woman that they declare to be his wife. He’s always been in love with her anyways, so it’s not a hardship for him, that is until he mistakenly kisses another woman.

This story was so angsty and cruel. The love story of two people who never should have found their way to each other and yet, they are so perfect for each other. Is there any truth about fate? I give this story a 5-star review and recommend it to readers who like bully, forbidden, angsty, billionaire love stories. Story deserves so much more than she is getting in this story and I hope that she finds it in future books.

 

Review of Alarick: King’s Descendants MC, Book 1 by Bella Jewel @GiveMeBooksPR and @BellaJewel73

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

 

AlarickTeaser1

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

A second chance story full of suspense, tragedy, drama, angst, and the unknown.

Briella has to return home to find her sister who has gone missing. She’s all she has left and can’t lose her too. Breilla, Magnoia, Briella’s sister, and their mother moved in with King, the President of the King’s Descendants MC, and his two older kids when Briella was 10. Briella left this life five years ago, but she has to go back to find Magnolia. She has her own problems but finding her sister is her top priority. What she finds along the way is dangerous, scary, and could get her killed in the process.

Alarick has taken over his father’s place in the King’s Descendants MC. He isn’t prepared to see Briella again, and he is angry she even showed back up. He doesn’t want to help her, but she leaves him no choice in the matter when she starts going around town asking questions that could lead back to the MC or get her killed.

This book was raw, tragic, full of drama and a great read. I love the characters, the plot, the story, and suspense in this book. I hated to put it down and absolutely did not want it to end. I give it 5-stars and cannot wait for the next book, Flick to come out. Ms. Jewel has done it again, she has not disappointed me yet, and I cannot wait for more from her in the near future. Such a sexy cover on this book, too!

When Dixyn Knox left her home with dreams of seeing her name in lights in LA, she never thought she’d go back.

What she doesn’t expect is to get involved with Ford Lawson, her father’s biggest rival and president of the Suicide Kings MC.

They both know what they’re doing is wrong, but neither are able to stop, caught up in the rush of their forbidden romance.
But when Dixyn’s troubled past catches up to her, their relationship is the least of their worries.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Forbidden fruit couldn’t be more dangerous.

Dixyn Knox just needed a reason to go back home, unfortunately, the reason couldn’t have been a worse one. Laughlin, Nevada is home and hopefully a safe haven for her to hide out from her ex.

Ford “Bullet” Lawson, the President of the Suicide Kings and the biggest rival of Dixyn’s father’s MC, the Forsaken. For some reason he can’t seem to get the hot little redhead out of his mind. He knows that she’s off-limits, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting her.

I loved this story. It was full of action, drama, suspense, and danger. I give it 4.5-star review and hope that the next one comes out soon. If you like MC, forbidden, suspenseful romance, then you will love this story. Two rival MC’s that are both dangerous and ruthless, need to find a common ground to save one girl. A story that will have you on the edge of your seat waiting for the sh*$ to hit the fan and fanning yourself from the heat and some of the sex scenes!

Ms. Sparxx says in the Author Notes that this is her first foray into writing MC Romance, and I think she hit it right on the nail with this one. I love it and can’t wait for more of this series.

4.5-Star Review of Wanted (Men of Mayhem, Book one) by Kristen Luciani @kristen_luciani

/ The Sassy Redhead Book Reviews / Leave a comment

Wanted

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Whew! “Fanning self here” These Moreno men are hot, sexy, and very dangerous. Antonio and Tommy are the comic relief as well as being dangerous, but Vince and Diego are dangerous and lethal. Diego acts on instinct and his actions after the death of his father has left him in the crosshairs.

Diego is mesmerized by the woman speaking at the fund raiser. He’s always been intrigued by her but seeing her in person is not at all what he was expecting. She’s more beautiful in person and he knows that it’s dangerous if he pursues her. Little does he know that his actions six months prior has put his family and hers in direct paths and he will become her savior, again.

Serena has a secret that she doesn’t want to share with the world, but her new path in life has brought more danger to her family than they were expecting. Serena’s new foundation is in contrast to her family’s business, not hers directly, but the mafia’s.

This story was suspenseful, dangerous, and kept me on the edge of my seat towards the end. I loved every bit of it and I am so excited for the next story. I love watching these men who are so dangerous fall to their knees when their soul mates come into their line of sight. Watching a big, dark, dangerous man get taken down to a softy is so entertaining. I give this story a 4.5-star review and encourage readers who like mafia, dangerous men, and strong dangerous women to read Kristen Luciani’s books. They are great and you will not be disappointed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

A tale of a dark, twisted, and dangerous man who meets his match when he becomes too greedy.

Jasper Lafar only wants possessions and money. He can’t see anything past the money he is determined to get his hands on, or the woman that he deems to be his possession. Too bad for him that the new toy he has acquired doesn’t want to play his games and has a mind of his own.

Jaslyn Astor is living in hell and she believes that she deserves everything that she receives. After losing her father, she was in a dark place and Jasper seemed to be a kind companion that was there for her and helped to bring her out of the darkness, but she soon found out that he only drug her into a deeper and darker hole that she believes she has no way of climbing out of.

Axel is a man who lives his life on his own terms and his way of life is dangerous and one fight at a time. His injury caused him to lose everything and now he has to find a way back to the top. He only has one person that has his back and he knows that he can count on him no matter what. His roommate and best-friend, Rush may have his issues, but Axel knows that he will always be there for him.

Whew, this book was dark, twisted, and hard to put down. I give it a 5-star review and need more now! Jaslyn and Axel are playing with fire in this story and I need to know what’s going to happen now. Jasper is the character that you instantly will hate in this story. If you like fairy tales, dark, twisted stories, or forbidden love, then you will love this story. The Prologue was so dark, but in a way, it was also beautiful. I particularly loved the line, “Only in the moments of our death are we flawless.”

Wow…such a great story!

Smith Sinclair has better things to do than to try to run off a nosy reporter. He’s head of security for the Wilder’s and his job is to protect them, their family and most importantly, their secrets. He has no idea that this nosy little reporter will turn his world upside down and sideways in such a short time. She’s a challenge he’s not sure he can handle.

Kate McKenna is trying to liver her mother’s life that was taken from her. She enjoys being a journalist, but she wants to do a story that will make the headlines and get her a Pulitzer, not necessarily for herself, but for her mother who sacrificed her life for Kate. Kate has not had an easy life. It seems that trouble follows her and holds on to her no matter what she does.

I loved this story. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting so much more. The song and dance between Smith and Kate is great to read, add in the crazies and the story was beyond awesome. I give this story a 5-star review and whole heartedly recommend it to readers that love suspense, sexy, strong, Alpha men who are taken to their knees by a strong sassy woman, or stories that have twist and turns so crazy that you are looking at the book saying, “What the HECK?!” I loved Kate and wanted to step in and throat punch her family for her. My hat off to Ms. Charles for her writing, each of her books that I read just makes me want more.
