Maybe then she'll stay away... and not rip my upcoming wedding apart.

And that he'll let his darkness come out, only for me.
His sugar baby.

EXCERPT

I swear I had just closed my eyes when there was a loud pounding at my front door. “What the fuck?” I mumble as I rub my eyes from sleep and check the time, four in the god damn morning. When the pounding intensifies, I quickly get out of bed, grab my baseball bat by my bedroom door and make my way to my front door.
I look through the peephole, but it’s too damn dark to make out who it could be. I shake my head at what I’m about to do. “This is how the stupid blond always dies in the damn movies,” I whisper as the pounding starts up again, only louder.
I’m surprised the neighbors haven’t come out yelling yet. I grip the bat firmly in my left hand and turn the doorknob with my right. I fling it open as quickly as I can, and then with both hands, I take my swing.
“Fuck!”
“Hunter?

Scenting its fated mate, my wolf beast awakens for the first time and roars with lust.

TESSA
Loki, the hot new boss of Hell, is hosting a bachelorette contest. He thinks it’s funny to have a troop of women fighting to the death over him.
But he doesn’t expect to attract the most lethal assassin and a rejected queen to his selection game. I didn’t come to ride the playboy king’s sexy body or be Queen of the Underworld. I promised Lucifer his son’s head on a gold platter.
I’ve been burned before and vowed never to let a handsome, powerful man touch me again. Yet when Loki and I lay eyes upon each other, sizzling chemistry scorches us. Under his ruthless, bad boy exterior hides another man, one that ignites flames inside my icy chest.

EXCERPT

“Care to join us, little bunny?” King Loki asked as he drove into the female vampire with renewed vigor.
My busted voyeurism had just erased his boredom, sparked his interest, and made him more excited, and the vampire benefited from his hard thrusts.
Hellfire and shadow flitted in the Demon King’s eyes, power rolling off him toward me, and my ice magic rose to meet the test.
I’d been about to depart before the shit show was over, but now I had to stay a little longer.
A frosty breath escaped my lips.
There was no need to panic, I reminded myself. Even though Loki had peered through my glamour, I still had a fine leather mask in place. Only my eyes and lips were exposed, and I was hanging upside down. It wouldn’t be easy for him to piece together my true appearance.
“Call me bunny again when you see my claws,” I purred. I hadn’t meant to do that. I wasn’t the purring kind, but the fire in him called to me, and my voice sounded like sweet smoke in my ears.
What had gotten into me? Why was I flirting?
“I’d like your claws, Bunny,” he purred back. “Why don’t you show me? Your claws might just be the thing to kindle my passion.”

Review: The Iron Crown

The Iron Crown The Iron Crown by L.L. MacRae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Iron Crown is the first book in L.L. MacRae’s Dragon Spirits series, and it is a gripping start to the series. With plenty packed into the story, I could not get enough of all that was in play and all the promises of what is to come in the rest of the series. It left me eager for more – and I now need to go and read the prequel, The Citrine Key, to find out more about the world.

The Iron Crown is a checklist of what makes for great fantasy reading, without being a checklist. It is a book packed with all the goodies guaranteed to keep you hooked – vengeful spirits, dragons, magic, quests, war, and more – and will leave you eager for more. From the start, it pulls you in deep and ensures you’re eager to see how everything develops. Each new element that is introduced will leave you with new theories – about characters, about the world, about everything – and ensures you’re powering through the pages to get answers.

Without a doubt, this was a great start to what promises to be a highly addictive series. Although it can be read without reading The Citrine Key first, it will leave you wanting to dive in to get more of the world and answers to some of the historical events.

Review: Chasing Romeo

Chasing Romeo Chasing Romeo by Sarah Ready
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Chasing Romeo was a quick rom-com that made for easy reading, hooking me right away and ensuring I devoured it in a single sitting. Although I enjoyed this one, I didn’t quite love it as much as I had hoped. However, I can certainly see many falling deeply for this story.

Chasing Romeo is a fast-paced read, with events hitting hard and without giving you a moment to breathe between. It hooks right away, and sucks you in deep, ensuring you cannot let up until you’ve seen how everything comes together. With plenty of events that will have you laughing, the story guarantees you’ll be eager for all the details. Although the story was a lot of fun, this was a little too light and easy for me. I smiled and laughed, but I would have liked a bit more depth and a little less of the over-the-top.

Although not quite to my taste, it was certainly an enjoyable quick read.

Release Blitz: Bullseye.




Title: Bullseye
Series: Ruthless Kings MC #12
Author: K.L. Savage
Genre: Dark Romantic Suspense/Organized Crime
Release Date: May 28, 2021


BLURB

Just when you think you have it all, everything changes...

I had everything a kid could want.
A home. Food. Toys. Friends. Loving parents.
And it all equaled happiness.
Then my life went up in smoke.
Happiness no longer existed.
I trusted the wrong person.
And in a blink of an eye, the cruelty of the world reared its ugly head.
Four walls. Darkness.
Memory loss.
Chains.
Sex.
My first love.
And people watching in the corners.

Now, I'm conditioned.
I need to watch.
I need to be watched.
No one understands the turmoil inside me.
And the one person who seems to calm it?
Ruby Raine.

A little spitfire of a woman who released the strife I've been swallowing for eighteen years.
She made me realize how weak I was and how strong I needed to be.
To tackle my demons, I have to admit everything.
I have to trust and that's one thing that doesn't come easy for me.
Ruby shows me it's okay to let go, to let someone steer for a bit, to give up a little control.
So I let go. I let her have the reins.
The road is bumpy, a minefield of explosives with her debt and my pain.
Every chance she takes on me is a step I take to better myself.
Love is a surprise.
A dart that Ruby tossed, and it hit me in the middle of my chest.
Unleashing… everything.

I'm my own target. If there's one thing I can do, it's aim.

EXCERPT

Everyone’s room has a little history.
Where is his?
I tiptoe to the dresser. Pause. I cut a glance back to the door as if I’m about to get caught, but nothing’s there. After a minute, I continue. I open one drawer and roll my eyes.
Socks.
All mismatched.
“Of course,” I mumble.
I close that drawer and open the next.
Oh. Underwear.
Sexy underwear. None of that saggy Fruit of the Loom shit, but Grade-A nut hugging undies. I hold one up, and it feels like spandex. It has to be some type of stretchy material. Damn, I bet he looks so good in these as they cling to every curve.
Imagining them stretched over his tree trunk thighs, suctioning over his cock, and pulled taut over his plump ass like a second skin.
“God bless the woman who made this man,” I say silently to God, or whoever’s idea it was to make such a fine specimen.
I keep the drawer open because I’m nowhere near done with it. I want to see what else he has in the goody forbidden drawer. “I’ll be back,” I whisper to the sexy spandex briefs. “I’ll miss you.”
My knees pop as I squat to open the last drawer, and what I find surprises me.
It’s empty.
I tap my hand around the drawer, and the back end pops. I freeze. Oh, shit. I’m about to find something I’m not supposed to see. That was the point. This was what I wanted. I take a deep breath. Here it is. Here is Bullseye’s history that he keeps hidden away. Part of me feels terrible for just snooping around like this, but he left me in here, so…
With a slow, careful hand, I take out the board, ready for whatever surprises might be waiting for me. My imagination runs wild—maybe it’s photos of him and his lovers. Maybe it’s a secret stash of mementos. Maybe it’s… oh.
It’s nothing.
Just a bunch of cash and darts. That’s disappointing. I frown and dig around, even more, trying to find a dirty secret, but that’s all I see. Just stacks of cash and some of his darts. Nothing that tells me about Bullseye’s history. I’m coming up empty-handed.
“What are you doing?”
I scream, then hold my hand to my chest when I hear Bullseye’s voice. I look up to see him standing in the doorway, arms crossed and staring at me. “Uh, I’m snooping,” I answer honestly.
His eyes drop to my chest, and that’s when I remember I’m still holding a pair of sexy undies. I’m holding them close since he scared me.
“Need some underwear, Spitfire?” he tsks, walking into the room and shutting the door. “Cash? Both?”
“No.” I toss the underwear in the drawer they belong in and close it, then close the secret cash drawer. “I wanted to find something personal, I guess.”
“Disappointed that you didn’t?” He takes a seat on the bed, and the springs groan from his weight.
“A little bit.” I take the spot next to him and evaluate his face. His eyes are red, as if he’s been crying. A few things start to click together. He doesn’t have anything personal in his room because everything he deems personal, he keeps close to his heart.
So if I want him, if I want to get to know him, I have to earn him.

If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.

EXCERPT

I can feel what living is. It’s in one moment to the next. One breath that leads to another. One touch, one sigh, one glance, creating a perfect moment that is imprinted forever.
All I want is his kiss. It’s a burn, a desire, a question that needs to be met with an answer
Hands clutch my elbows, but instead of screaming or fending for my life with my handbag as a weapon, I’m shuddering, breathing out a long held bated breath.
Breathing the same air as… as…
“Henri Carré.” His lips crush into mine and I moan a deep and toe curling sigh.
Fate, you wily beast I thought you’d let me down.
It hits me how much I’ve been craving this moment, desperately waiting without wanting to give meaning to the ache festering under my skin. The grey of my world bursts into colour with the press of his lips.
Henri. The perfect name.
